This project was created on 04/16/2023 and last updated 3 years ago.

Description

A lot of people have tried a lot of different ways to get an Android tablet to charge while using the OTG host mode. Often, the result is that charging is only supported by a few tablets, apparently Samsung is supposed to be one of them. However, I believe pretty much all of them do but most of them don't "know" they can charge and be host at the same time.
