Can you have a flash drive and a Gamepad plugged in at the same time while charging the Nexus 7?

No. You can do two of the three. Any two combo will work but not all three at the same time.

Yes you can, using Timur's kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934722 . You will need a y-cable for it and possibly a usb-hub. I managed to plug in a keyboard, mouse and usb-stick while powering the nexus. So what you want should work too.

I'm wondering if anyone would know if it would be possible to connect an adapter to a PS3 controller that would allow it to be plugged into the Nexus 7 using the normal USB cable for the controller and then would the controller be functional within games.
If it can be connected then would it also be possible to pair the controller so that it can be used over Bluetooth?
I know connecting a PS3 controller to a Transformer tablet with a keyboard dock allows pairing but I am curious if it would work with a Nexus 7 using an adapter.

I don't think normal regular ps3 controller do anything to ur N7 with USB cable,, just like it won't do any to the computer.

I'm pretty confident that it wouldn't. However, if you root and download an application from Google Play it will work. (Sixaxis controller)
It works just fine with a ps3 controller plugged via USB and an OTG cable. You can even navigate the home screen with it.
I can post a video if people want to see it.

Could you provide me to a link with a suitable OTG cable for this?
Also will my Nexus 7 have to be rooted?

is that out of the box?
I remember it is plug and play with windows and I did that and though it was so cool when I discovered that 2 years ago
I'm using the Xoom camera connection kit cable. Which is just a fancy name for an otg cable.
It works just fine on stock. No apps, no mods, just works natively. Buttons can also be used to navigate.
Here's an Amazon link to the cable. http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Connection-MOTOROLA-Packaging-89454N/dp/B004UAG6WC

So it has to be an OTG cable then?
I have purchased an USB A male/female adapter and tried connecting the controller cable and the Nexus 7 cable together through the adapter and nothing happened.
Do you have any idea to why that may not have worked?
Just get sixaxis controller from the play store.

Yes I believe it does have to be an OTG cable.
Also, it doesn't work for all games. I think the game has to have an external controller option. For example the controller doesn't work for Final Fantasy III but works for GTA III and the emulators.

So I've got my N7, been hyped up about OTG (since my SGS does not support it), so far I havent managed to get the basic stuff working (mouse, keyboard).
What I tried:
All stock ROMs, from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1
CM10 stable, cm10 nightlies
Nexus 7 as a device works without a hitch, just no OTG at the moment.
I measured the voltage output when OTG cable is connected and it was 0V. Friend said it should output something. I tried powered USB hub(the N7 did not charge), this time, my mouse LED lighted up, but there was no cursor on the screen, same with keyboard, when entering text input mode, the on-screen keyboard shows up.
The OTG cable was made, connecting the 5th pin to the GND, as the exterior cases of the connector aswell. (edit: I can add that this OTG cable was a from a friend, where it worked on his device, Sony something, codename is coconout)
Tommorow I will go to the store where they sell OTG cables (15eur) and I'll try that one. Meanwhile I ordered two 90° OTG cables for 3eur a piece.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated, as this is getting me really frustrated.
Thanks again!
are you rooted and using stickmount??? i tried using a mouse on mine and it works fine for me

Could you please tell me which ROM and kernel are you exactly on? I will go to a store and try a new OTG cable with a "dumb" mouse (Logitech NX50).
I tried USB host diagnostics, screenshot below. Stock 4.2.1 rooted with a faux123 kernel which claims OTG support.

hello guys well i have a nexus 7 that i set up in my car everything working perfect but i cant get the battery to "ac charge" im using this cable
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Usb-type-A-...G-Micro-USB-female-power-supply-/310680595889
the issue is not in the charger because the charger im using when connect to the tablet directly does achieve ac charging but when i plug in the above splitter it looses it, if the cable is meant to separate data from power than why is this happening? how can i get "ac power" or fast charging, I currently have everything connect to a toggle switch that i leave on over night, and i really is not a big deal but i noticed the other day with the navigation on watching videos that the battery is still draining.. using timur kernel
thanks in advance
its obviously the splitter, from the looks of the cable on the micro usb socket its to thin to take the power?
You need to state more info. What kernel? Rom? Only a specialized kernel will allow otg host mode charging.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
If you are completely stock, the tablet will not charge while it is in Host Mode with the OTG cable attached. It can be done with a special kernel, though.
Yup, thats what I said.
I can almost guarantee it is your otg cable,get a samsung compatible otg with power cable.

I have a car install running Timurs usbrom (which I recommend over just his kernel) and its the one Im using without issue.
It is because the otg cable does not have the data cables in the powered end that is split off. They need to be shorted to get full AC charging but it is impossible with an Otg cable as it would not work for any data.

So what you are saying if im understanding correctly is to achieve true ac charging you have to utilize all 4 cables in the usb passage?

You need to short both the data pins together for AC charging. But if you do that, OTG is gone.

You are just using the kernel,usbrom is his full cm10.1 based custom rom. The proper otg cables need to have pins 4 and 5 (ground) together on the tablet micro usb end to activate the ofg and power,that why you need the special cable.Your cable only power the device on the usb end not the tablet,it says no device charging in the description.
Also with Timurs kernel or rom the data wire cross isnt needed,or the otg devices wouldnt work.

Did anyone manage to use a usb thumb drive with the regular OTG? I have one laying around in my room and AFAIK I need a custom rom to make the OTG feature to work. Since I am waiting for the official CM 10.2, I still run stock, I just wanna know if I have to buy the Y type...

The Nexus 4 cannot output 5v through the micro USB port.
The Y cable is your only way.
Look for the one with a male and female micro USB also with a female USB.

You should be able to use the cable you have but you would need to run it through a powered USB hub

Look at post #795. If your linked device is like marhensa's, it should work. However, it's hard to determine exactly.
Of course you need to flash ziddey's kernel for any OTG to work.

Anyone who messes around with drones will know what I'm talking about. On other devices with micro-usb, I was able to use an OTG cable and use Cleanflight Flasher, Ez-GUI etc to mess with my Naze32 flight controller. I can't get any power to the FC using my Nexus, USB-C to micro adapter, to OTG. Anyone have any ideas?

I have this problem too.
OTG isn't supported I'm afraid. It's due to USB-type C connector not supporting it.

Well that really sucks. I mean, I still have my Nexus 7 tablet that I can use... But any time you get a new device and LOSE features you had previously, major bummer.
