How do USB micro-B phones determine the host?


Phones typically use micro-B instead of micro-AB or mini-AB, meaning that micro-A and mini-A cables can't be connected to them. Since these cables use an additional, grounded pin to identify which device is the host on the micro-A / mini-A end, how would a phone with a micro-B receptacle determine the host? Or do phones lose the ability to act as a host by use of the micro-B port?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
