Hello,

As explained in title, I am looking for a 3-4 usb hub that supports otg and can charge the Nexus 7 at the same time at full voltage, without drain.

Any ideas? thanks

Otg splitter and hub is so you can power your tablet and any devices that are connected to the hub .. Ex. Joycon , video grabber , dac ...ect

Timurs kernel is the most reliable but you have to donate to get it ... Elemental is free but sometimes has issues with otg/charge bugs upon wake

You need the ability to enable Fast Charging for the kernel.
Simple USB-OTG won't get you full charge speed.
I know Timur's kernel for 2012 model has a Fast Charge option that is probably also available on the 2013.

And ElementalX kernel *might* be getting that option soon too, if not already.

You need to install a kernel for otg and charging ....

Two options

Elemental kernel ....slightly buggy loses charge on boot

Timurs kernel ...works flawless ... But you have to donate ...
