This results that standard USB OTG cable cannot be used, but cable adapter with micro-B plug and standard A socket allows to connect peripheral USB devices such as keyboard, mouse, flash drive, sound card. USB-Ethernet adaptor does not work in the Sony's official Android 4.1. In this case external devices will draw energy from the phone and phone cannot be powered at the same time. Charging dock Sony DK28 which is dedicated for Xperia ZR, physically does not allow battery charging and using USB/MHL connector at the same time.
