I noticed when I turn on my ps3 with the controller plugged in or my ext. hdd the dongle never turns green. So then I have to turn it off and back on without anything plugged in except for the dongle of course.

I keep mine in the left port and it works fine turning it on with the switch and the controller. Seems like it takes a lifetime to boot though lol

the only time i had problems is when i used a usb hub but dongle was direct in left port of ps3 then the hub in right port with ext hdd and charging cable for my control it would just say usb device not recognised but i restarted it without the hub in an everything was fine

No problems here. I leave the TB in the right port and my external hdd in the left port. It does take a while to boot up though... sometimes as long as 25 seconds. This happens even without anything plugged in. I think it's the TB cfw

These all seem to be BOOT power issues, especially if you upgraded your internal hard drive. Your new and improved HD (more GB storage) needs a bit more power at boot to start thus having all these extra things plugged in at boot takes from the power therefore answering your question. I as well have to unplug my 2 ext HD, controller and everything else except dongle for my ps3 to boot.
