Hi,
I'm trying to use an android device with a USB C connector on a local wired network while still keeping it powered.
In the past I've achieved this just fine on an older device with a microUSB port and a microUSB Hub that had power + OTG USB to which I attached an USB to Ethernet Connector.
Currently I've tried using an Anker Premium USB-C Hub with Ethernet and Power Delivery.
A few months ago this hub would only power the device, but Ethernet/USB would not work.
With the latest updates (Android 7.1.1) either Ethernet works, but the device doesn't charge(if I connect the hub first, then power the hub)
or the device charges but Ethernet doesn't work (if I power the hub first, then connect Ethernet).
With the micro-USB Connector I've also spotted a pinout diagram that shows to provide power + OTG here:
http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/34741/can-an-android-tablet-serve-as-usb-host-and-be-charged-simultaneously-through-a
But I couldn't find an USB C equivalent pinout.
Any hints/tips on how I could both power and USB C connected Android device and keep it connected on an Ethernet Network ?
Thank you,
George
