USB cable splitting for Hotspot tethering?
An older post I know but Jerochy is actual right with what he says. It is now 2019. I have a surface pro 6 and when I USB tether from my phone, the phone won't charge simultaneously. After a while the phone battery is low. What Jerochy is asking is for a USB splitter cable that will 1) allow him to usb tether his phone using one split of the cable while 2) charging the phone by plugging in the power source in the second split of the cable. Well, there is such a thing. It is called a USB 3.1 Type 3 to Dual A Male Extra Power Data Y Cable for Cell Phone & Hard Disk. The male USB plugs into the cellphone. One female usb (submitting power + data) is used to charge the phone, the other (data only) is connected to the laptop and allows you to tether the phone. This cable is available online (amazon.com).
Hope this helps someone with the same issue (it still exists today, 2 years later .... I had that problem just a week ago).
Cheers
