Reply To: OTG charge and data USB-C?

Hi guys, I’m using this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-OTG-Charge-2-Ports-HUB-TF-SD-Card-Reader-Adapter-For-Smartphone-Tablet-/181818173639?hash=item2a553528c7:g:oSwAAOSwu4BVudD3
but with a usb c to micro adapter (the oneplus one on ebay for .99 http://www.ebay.com/itm/311532053483?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=610528650080&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT), that way I can just use a regular micro usb cable to charge it, in case I can’t find or didn’t bring the only usb c cable I have, which happen to come with this tablet. It charges and it has 2 ports for usb and 1 sd and one micro sd slots. I plug in my usb dongle for my keyboard and mouse (I also use an air mouse/keyboard combo with dongle), a thumb drive or another usb hub (powered) and I’ve had sd cards in both slots. It has a micro usb connector on the bottom, I plug a 2a 5v plug in (with the usb cable attached, of course). It shows charging in windows and when not booted into windows and the light blinks when charging and stays on when full. I have it on position 2 or 3, doesn’t seem to make a difference, but position 1 definitely does not charge as fast. There is one that has a usb c connector on the end also, but its like $2 more. I have had this one for a while and used it with my teclast x98 pro, onda v919 3g dual boot and many other tablets. Sometimes it doesn’t work right away, but after a I bootup and reboot, it has worked with every tablet so far. There is also another one that has 4 usb and no sd slots. They all look very similar. Mine came with a micro usb female to usb male also, so you can use it with a regular usb of a computer. It also came with a standard otg connector (I guess to have other options of powering it). I have used the micro usb female to usb male to power it, just for kicks and it does. It will get power from any of the usbs and charge the device and the other usbs will work too. It does not charge fast though, but then again, the stock plug I got from chuwi doesn’t either, takes like 5 hours with the tablet on, even longer with the hub. My venue 11 charger, its like 25w, charges it quickly, but both it and the tablet get really hot.

Hope this helps somebody, (I hate to recommend ebay, BTW (makes me cringe)), but they did have the lowest price and it did arrive from china in about 2 weeks or so.
