Shouldn't it be plugged to the HDMI port? How come it's plugged to the USB port instead?

Xperia Arc S has no MHL support.
Hi, does anybody know whether the hdmi to micro usb work on xperia s? I mean i know it has a dedicated hdmi port but i accidentally wet my phone and now hdmi not working anymore but it.can still charge.. I dont want to have it repaired cause i heard it takes 2 months with their crappy customer service.
So the only alternative i have is buying an hdmi to micro usb. The one you use with xperia z i think.. Does this work on xperia s? Please help

No way, jose.
This one's a shocker for me. Lot of websites lists OTG as one of the supported features of the XZ1 Compact, but today I was unable to use it and turned to Google for help.
My search turned up this recent thread on Sony's forums: https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...G-support-for-Xperia-XZ1-Compact/td-p/1266035
An official Sony representative seems to confirm that OTG is not supported. Noooooooo!
Xperia devices do currently not support USB On-The-Go (USB OTG), but they do support the USB Host standard.
Xperia XZ1 Compact support the following; HID, USB hub, USB mass storage and Audio. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee compatibility with third party USB accessories. However do make sure that you are using a USB-host adapter and not just a USB cable.

99% of the time this phone works perfectly for me, but that 1% time when I need to use OTG... goddamn it. Yet another compromise.
So, let's see, no FM radio, no double tap to sleep/wake, distorted photos, and now no OTG. Wonder what new missing feature I'll discover next for f***'s sake.
The XZ1C is certainly no cheaper than any of the Z family compact series, yet they've removed so many useful features for unknown reasons.
Why, Sony? Why?
Why are you crippling your flagship phones?
Why are you the only player making top end spec'd phones in compact dimensions? I literally have no alternative option! (And no, the iPhone SE is not a competitive product, the screen is tiny and it's a few generations too old.)
S835 + 4GB RAM + 720p 4.6" screen + 2700mAh battery is a freaking sweet winning combo, plus SD card, 3.5mm jack, fingerprint sensor and waterproof - they are all insta-buy bullet points... but all these little pitfalls man, really, really sticks out like a sore thumb.
Can't express my disappointment enough.
What were you trying to use USB OTG for? I plugged in a flash drive and it worked.
Per Sony rep's reply, certain USB Host standards are supported (HID, USB hub, USB mass storage and Audio), which is why you were able to read the flash drive, but USB OTG isn't supported.
I'm trying to use a Easycap video adapter with my phone. It used to work with Z3C and Z5C, alas, no longer.
It appears that I'm having issues as well.
I yet have to try some other Type-C adapters.
That sucks. It was also useful for making backups if your screen is broken. With the digitiser bonded to the LCD in some brands like Sony's, cracked glass means unusable touch.

I tried my xz1 compact OTG USB with solid explorer with OTG plugin, the result looks solid explorer on the USB OTG but then does not display it in the explorer menu, there is something wrong with it.
OTG WORKS.
Bull****. NOT CONFIRMED. XZ1 Compact with USB mouse works.

So of course USB mouse is expected to work, as are USB flash drives. But OTG is not supported.
Exactly.
Which is unfortunate, because I think my FLIR One relies on OTG functionality.
I'll see about that once I get my adapters.
Sony have really dialled back on what they support. No "Remote Shares" is the one that bugs me the most. My Z3C was the best phone I've ever owned, this one is turning out to be a bit of a lemon. Which I had bought a OnePlus 5 or Honor 9 now.

OTG is not supported, but all OTG functions works? What is your problem?

If anyone has a problem, it's you with that attitude of yours. I don't really understand the need for such hostility.
I've quoted straight from the horse's mouth that OTG is not supported, the source is linked in my original post.
If you believe there's a contradiction in that statement, please take your argument to Sony's rep.
The OTG function I was able to use previously on my Z5C (which supports OTG) is no longer working on the XZ1C.
So your claim that all OTG functions works is questionable.
Did a quick test. Usb SD-Card, usb mouse, usb keyboard and usb UVC video (is this OTG?) are working. All tested via usb-x to usb-c adapters.
Update: Did the test on latest firmware update: 47.1.A.2.374

The video thing is good to hear.
Mind if I ask, what adapters do you use? Do you happen to have a link for them?

For the full size usb to c I order the following:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New...-3-0-Female-Adapter-OTG-Data/32798937324.html
Out of three ordered two worked for OTG. One did not.
For micro to c I ordered:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Min...r-converter-for-Macbook-Letv/32788873052.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB...r-Converter-Connector-For-LG/32694996723.html
They worked for OTG (so far).
For c I also ordered:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Met...nnector-Type-C-Male-to-USB-2/32815823175.html
No luck on OTG, only 'normal'.
Be aware, your mileage still may vary. Tested adapters also on a Pixel but that gave different results. Some worked on both, some only one of the two. Do not know the details at the moment.
thanks for your input I'll probably buy one of them. I was wondering though, anyone manage to get ethernet working? There's no grayed out ethernet option..
thinking about getting this one: amazon.com/Smays-Ethernet-compatible-Raspbian-Raspberry/dp/B00L32UUJK (sorry forum wouldn't let me make a link)
the otg with the new firmware and ok 471.A.2..374
this isn't the xperia z1 compact.

I believe you're in the wrong thread. searching "firmware 14.4.a.0.157" in google only comes up with xperia z1 compact results. Are you saying that the firmware update is compatible with the xperia xz1 compact?
EDIT: Sorry, my mistake. I realized that its also for the xperia xz1 compact. I found out by going to Settings>System>About phone
I might have to return mine, it seems that OTG does not work for me.
I already tried various devices with 3 different adaptors, none of them even get powered.
I tried micro to type C adaptor by Nillkin, not working.
