How could I have my tab hooked to a monitor and use a keyboard at the same time? Is it possible or do I again run into the bluetooth problem?

You could use the rca cable to have tv out, or use the dock which has hdmi output, and use a bluetooth keyboard.
The cable is $30, from ebay, the dock is at least $50, and I don't know the cost for bt keyboard.
Last time I checked you couldnt use a bluetooth keyboard with the Verizon SGT because of missing bluetooth HID driver.

Its possible the keyboard dock will just pass through the proprietary port and you can then plug a TV adapter into the dock. Ill try it and let you know, the downside of course is you'd be on battery power the whole time.
I have an otg cable, yet none of my accessories work with it and my RAZR MAXX. My question is whether or not I need a powered hub when using the OTG cable. I have seen set ups of other android models using a SIXAXIS controller and otg cable, yet no hub. In this case, it the powered hub not needed since the controller itself is supplying its own power?
Thanks,

Download USB Device Info:

When you open the app you should see 0 devices under Android and Linux tabs. Now connect just your OTG cable nothing plugged into it and hit refresh, something should show up, usually under the Linux tab that identifies the USB host. Even if the USB host doesn't supply power this will still work as I have tested it on my Touchpad which has no OTG power.
If you saw something appear when you connected the OTG cable, than OTG is in the Razr M. Now try connecting your gamepad and refresh the device list. If its not showing up then there is either something wrong with OTG or you need external power. This program will ID any USB device connected, even those which Android doesn't support since its just matching the device against a list it has. Try getting a USB keyboard/mouse working ad those are universally supported on Android and would confirm if USB host works.
Questions go in the question forum too...
Here's a dumb question. I just ordered a female USB to male micro USB. I wanted to be able to yank pics off my camera and drop them on my phone. Would I need an OTG adapter or does that plane adapter work?

An OTG cable has a extra pin in it that is tied to ground in a OTG cable which tells the hardware to switch to OTG mode. A regular USB cable will leave this pin open.
If I'm able to peel open this adapter that I got, and jump pin 4 to 5 should it work as an OTG cable?

Its possible, as shown here:

For me I'd rather just buy an OTG cable, but if you have regular microUSB cables laying around, go for it.
Bought an OTG cable
Bought a simple OTG adapter from newegg. So far....plugged in a mouse and my camera. Both work flawlessly, my camera gives me the choice of either either MTP (?) that goes straight to gallery and image import, or Storage which prompts to a new usb mount. Have not tried a gamepad yet, I have 2 floating around somewhere but not sure what game to try.
Hi dudes,
does anyone know how can the micro usb port of a smartphone be control by using app to send signals to host gadgets?
e.g. 3.7 volts instead of 5v?
or something else like that?
cheers
hello everyone, i am a student. i tried to use the nexus 7, connected it with a bluetooth board to remote control an IC. the problem are:
1. the sense port in the otg cable makes my nexus become a Host when connected to the bluetooth device. therefore, it cant be charged although i have pluged in a 5V.
2. when connected, the nexus 7 gets screen problem about touching sense.
please help me with any possible ideas. i will be really appreciate

Just wanting to know, would a USB hub work with usb OTG? so I can use a keyboard and mouse at the same time.
