MHL HDMI Adapter and USB OTG Simultatneously

---

Has anyone tried using a Micro USB OTG adapter and MHL HDMI adapter at the same time? Is it even possible?

Thinking of watching movies off of an external drive on my HDTV with the GN. I may just have to stream them from my computer over WiFi.

Cheers

Yeah! Is it possible?

I ordered all components yesterday to test this exact thing. I will report back with my findings. I ordered the mhl adapter, HDMI cable, and the otg cable. I already have a micro SD reader that's extremely small. Total cost was $30 on amazon.... I also ordered a wii sensor bar that was around 6 bis. I'm also going to attempt to integrate the otg cable in a case. Pics will follow

I think that isn't possible. Both MHL and USB OTG uses the same microusb port, but behind that there are different circuits. Depending on wich connector you plug in the hardware will know if you are connecting an usb or a HDMI.

More, the microusb on MHL connector is only for ac supply.

From what ive read, it is not possible. Youre disabling usb to get hdmi function through 4 wires. And that function needs power.

Since I'll be using them either way. It doesn't hurt to try.

MHL and OTG

@justin94, please report back if you get it working. Actually, if you can get OTG to work at all with or without MHL let us know. I've gotten the MHL to work. But I need to connect some USB devices up, and from what I've read, the current Nexus stock firmware doesn't support OTG/Host.

Also, what OTG cable did you order? I've heard there are ones that don't work?

waiting for an answer.

Just got confirmation of shipment the mhl adapter and HDMI cable. No estimated deliver date as of yet. Have patience people.
