Is it possible? I assume it would be but not at fast charge rate, I'll be using it on a flight and it would be nice to keep it topped up, as I'm sure connecting an external hard drive will drain the battery very fast (uses 2.5W!)

The dual charging + USB storage access is usually something that is kernel dependent. I did just verify that, on my M5, an OTG cable will only do one or the other. However, in the future I'd bet a developer will add that capability.
Have a good trip!

Thanks, i'm going away end of august, but in any case the flight is only 3hrs, and with the big battery i should survive.
:good:

Sorry to necro this thread but has this changed lately? I would love to use the M5 in a fixed car install but that would require OTG+Charging. Is there a known ROM, Kernel or hardware/dongle that enables this?
