Hey guys, I do not own a Nexus 4 (yet), but before I buy I would like to throw out a scenario and see how realistic it is. I have researched the Slimport adapter and was wondering, could I connect a Nexus 4 to an HD TV (via Slimport adapter), connect a USB hub to the microUSB port on the adapter (via OTG cable), and connect USB sticks or controllers for games from the USB hub, and charge the phone wirelessly from the charging hub? Thanks in advance for everyone's insight.

I'm sorry guys, I know I ask much of your knowledge.

Well, did more research, looks like Nexus 4 doesn't have the 5v out that would be required to support USB.host its a hardware issue.

I don't known if what I am trying to do is either not right or I don't know how to do it, I could not find a micro USB otg, so instead I bought a flash drive and a double female ended USB adapter and have my n7 cable on the other end to the tablet. Can this work or does it only work with a micro USB both adapter?

Usb otg, cables are easy to find.... Your solution won't work because there's nothing to trigger host mode

Amazon.com
Found one for 2.15$ shipping from CA 3-5 days instead of the 4-5 weeks that the .89$HK ones.

Ty cant wait to try this
I can confirm that USB OTG supports mass storage, and Touchwiz mounts it for you
Does anyone know if its possible to get the screen to mirror using audio/video cables (the red, yellow, and white cables)?
My cars head unit has these cables in the back. I'd imagine I'd need the USB/HDMI adaptor, but is there a way to convert HDMI to audio/video?

Would this cable work?

Pretty sure that will not work as I believe Samsung uses MHL. You would likely need the SlimPort adapter and something like one of these.
Hey thanks. That adaptor you sent, you think I'd be able to power it via a car charger?

uh huh usb
Hi, since my tv is stupid (it's not one of those smart ones with wi fi) I was looking for another way of displaying the n4 screen on my tv. I was wondering if a simple mhl cable would do the trick? Or do I really need a special slim port adapter?
I found this one in my nearest store, but I am not sure if it will work.---> Unitek MHL Y-2702 microUSB / HDMI

Hi everyone.
I use my usb otg cable quite alot, especially connecting a mass storage, seeing as the memory is quite limited on s4.
Has anyone managed to create a usb otg cable that allows the device to charge at the same time?
Anyone??
