It seams that the change to the MHL cable is to allow USB on Go with the same cable

there is a MHL adapter that gives you a male 11 pin micro USB to female HDMI so you can just plug a standard male to male HDMI cable from adapter to TV.
see:
Samsung Galaxy S III MHL to HDMI adapter
Does anyone know if this new adapter will work with the Galaxy Nexus, as well? Also, does it charge the phone--or at least keep it from being drained--when USB OTG is being used? I've been looking for a way to use USB OTG with a flash drive on my GN while also charging/powering the phone. USB OTG is a real power hog.
It should, but on mine it doesn't.
I've got a new MHL cable and a USB OTG cable in the hope I could plug my MHL into the SGS3, use a powered USB hub connected to the Micro USB on the MHL and then connect a keyboard and mouse into the USB hub, then connect the HDMI to the TV.
For me it doesn't work. I thought this was the whole reason they changed the MHL cable to the new type. Can anyone else confirm?
Logicalstep
can we get an update on this situation here? How
can we get MHL AND USB OTG?
My reading of the link is that the micro USB port has been repinned to provide USB on the go and not that the cable allows for this.On the mhl cable there is a female HDMI port and a micro USB ( both female) which must be used by the charger.
If the usb connection is also female type, we have to use a usb otg cable to get it work. But at the moment my phone also wont recognize any devices -.-' only mhl and nothing else.
I bought this adapter for 25 euros and want to have it working.
I also asked samsung on facebook 'bout this problem, and everything the told me:
Go support site...
very helpful.
I hope the will enable this feature in a future update.
I've bought a nexus 7 to put in my car and was wondering if anyone that has a y cable for charging and otg can try it through the pogo dock only, I've seen it through charging on the dock and otg the usb port but not both through on the dock, any help please ?
I want to create a USB powered 4 port hub setup for the shield. I'm curious as to the safety of having 2 separate USB power sources connected at once.
Basically it goes from shield to OTG Y cable powered by USB to a USB Y cable powered by another USB to 4 port hub.
Will this setup allow the hub to pull more than 2 amps assuming the USB Y power source can output?
The OTG Y cable is on amazon, "Apricorn USB power adapter Y cable AUSB-Y USB"

To be clear the Shield is my tablet
Hi guys, so I recently installed a Nexus 7 into my car however i have a question regarding the charging as my car is sat there all week not being used. Obviously I've got a OTG cable, would it be possible to charge the tablet from powerbank using male to male USB cable, as the micro USB is plugged into the loom. My plan is to let it charge when using the vehicle then if needed plug the powerbank in once a month to bring back up to 100%, as I cant find a male micro USB into 2 Female micro USB's Please help

Hi guys one question about powerbank... I have 3 anker and they all have micro USB port to charge the smartphone and i usually charge the powerbank from the normal USB port. Since the s8 has USB-c do i have to buy an adaptor USB-c to micro USB or i can Just use a normal cable USB to USB-c like the One coming with the s8? Thanks!
You can use any cable as long as you end up connecting the USB-C to the S8 and whatever it is the connector for the powebank output.
