Hi, i bought this Xiaomi TipeC Adaptor
and this MicroSd Reader, to combine them toghether with my OP3.
But they just don't work toghether.
Separately, everything is fine, Xiaomi Adaptor charge my phone, MicroSd are working fine with other adaptors or with Pc, the reader either is working fine with Pc or others smarphones.
Did i miss something?
Thanks
still one test to do, connecting one OP3 on a PC with that adapter and see if you can transfer some file with MTP.
Did you turn on OTG in the OP3 settings? If you did, try it with a different OTG device and report back

Yes man, i did, Otg it is on and it is working with a TypeC MicroSd Reader. Recognized instantly, can move files. Same MicroSd.
So, every single piece is working fine alone or in combo, just not working this combination, with XiaomiAdapter (TypeC to Micro Usb and MicroUsb MicroSd Reader) but i can't get why.
Maybe the Xiaomi adapter doesn't pass enought electricity to power the MicroUsb MicroSd Reader.
But I don't know how to "overvolt" the Otg Adapter in order to make it work.
Not sure why this occurs but I've had the same exact issue trying to use micro USB OTG adapters with a USB-A flash drive.
USB OTG just doesn't work unless you use a USB-C OTG adapter. Same thing happens in the Nexus 6P

I got a Micro-USB to USB (female) cable form ebay... from China (I didn't know until I chekced later. I usually have the "UK sellers only" option checked).
Anyway, after an eternity, it arrived today. But, it doesn't work when I plug it in. Nothing happens. My Sandisk Cruzer doesn't light up when I plug it in or anything.
I was on the ninphetamin3 Kernel, and I've tried the Siyah kernel, just in case it's the kernel that was limiting functionality... Apparently it's not because it still doesn't work.
It only cost a couple of quid, but is there something I might be missing that I can check before buying another from the UK?

That is not necessarily an OTG cable... did it SAY it was an OTG cable? If not, it probably isnt. Pin 4 and 5 need to be connected (in the micro usb side) for it trigger OTG functionality. if it is not working it means one of 2 things:
1. You didn't buy and OTG cable, you just bought a cable with the ends you wanted, but without the funtionality
2. Something is broken on your phone... test that cable in another phone with OTG capability (go to a verizon store if you have to)
3. I think i remember seeing you need an app to use some flash drives (keybaords and mice work without any app, i can attest to that from experience)

That's the one I got. It's 5pin, but you're right in that it doesn't say it was OTG.
I don't have another OTG compatible device to test with
I got an OTG cable and I tired loads of different things to get it working.... in the end I rebooted the S3 with a usb drive connected and it worked after that.
I'm on stock rooted LG6

yep, it is just a plug adapter.
You now have 2 choices:
1. cut open the micro USB, and connect pins 5 and six
2. buy one that actually says it is an OTG

I ordered a OTG cable now, but also soldered the one I had and made that into one too., But the OTG one will be ok to pull out in public places, lol.
Just ordered two of those adapters. They convert Micro USB 2.0 to USB 3.1.
Best price is 1.28!

Let me know if it works for you. I ordered http://aliexpress.com/item/2015-New...onverter-Adapter-For-Macbook/32390876259.html some time ago and the connector won't even fit into my OP2..
weird.. They look the same to me. I will definitely give a feedback!
I ordered this one...
http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6845583073.html
Still not received atm.
EDIT : fits perfectly, work with charger but not with OTG cable...
i have ordered a few off ebay. hopefully they will arrive in the morning. its good that they do these things as i have heard some people saying the cable that comes with the 1+2 wont connect to some laptops. for myself i have not had that issue but i want some backups for safe keeping.
I bought 5 from eBay for $2 ea. They work fine and I have tried them on a lot of different cables and charges both cheap and quality ones.
Good to know that most of them do work. I noticed that the OPT cable is slightly wider than some usb slots. That might be the reason why is not fitting into some laptops.
Find the UK equivalent here, http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/301706225746
ordered 2 will see how these perform and give feedback.
I have 3 of these. They work fine for charging. But NOT with my SanDisk 64GB OTG Flash Drive With micro USB connector.
Tomorrow I will get this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010HWCFDA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Hope it works with my OP2
I think those adapters are only for charging and not for data transfer :/
Ok. So I got it today but unfortunately, my OP2 does not recognizes the device. I've checked "OTG storage"
in Settings>Storage, tried to reboot.. NOTHING. Not working!! Shame on you Kingston..

Have you tried formatting it to FAT32 via your PC and then plugging it in the phone?

Yeah I am in the same boat. I bought a OTG cable and it won't recognise any usb drives. I did read somewhere that there has been some issues with OTG on OxygenOS.

Maybe your flash drive draws too much power from the phone? I assume this product was meant to be used with a Macbook Air rather than a phone with USB Type C, but I could be wrong.

As said before, some of these USB Type C adapters might not be suited for data transfer. Have you checked that?
They work alright with data transfer connected to a PC. I will buy a USB 3.1 Type C OTG Cable proper and see how it goes.
It does work just fine with my imac, under OSx and Windows.. But not with my OP2...
OTG does work fine for a friend of mine with a similar Sandisk flash drive and adapter. Pic included.

Well that's good to know. I will let you know how I progress.
Hey guys,
I got me an Aukey 4 USB+HDMI, USB-C hub. I've plugged it in but can't get anything to happen. I plug in a USB wireless mouse, nothing happens. I plug in a USB keyboard, nothing, no lights on shift lock/num lock, nothing. I plugged in an HDMI cable and, although the screen seems to be getting signal (It doesn't auto-power save) i can't get anything to show on it.
Have I bought an incompatible hub? Am i not doing something important?
Thanks!
are you conecting it directly? I tried to read a sd card just using the little adapter and a card adapter, and, could not, then tried with the BIG ONE included, this time it worked, mi conclusion is that you need always this BIG adapter in order to read external, mouse, keyboard, etc.
The little one is not usb otg compatible!!!

But then what would be the point of USB-C port if you have to adapt it back to a standard USB port? In addition, you would probably also lose the video functionality.....
I'm beginning to wonder if I needed to buy a powered USB-C hub?
edit: btw, I have a USB-C micro-SD card reader and it works fine directly connected although, it only works one way up, so much for being a reversible format!
From what I know Note 7 don't has MHL, so cannot connect to HDMI.

Also tried with a mem stick, and works fine

I think it was intended to facilitate moving files from an older phone. Mine is due to arrive any moment. I think we will all have some real answers soon.
Except most old phones do not have USB-C

You plug the USB C end into the Pixel and then use another cable to connect an older phone (presumably one you're already using with the older phone). Micro USB/Lightning into the older phone, USB into the adapter. The adapter can also be utilized for OTG - USB C into the Pixel, flash drive/other USB device into the USB port.

Also to use OTG. Plug that in, and you can hook up a keyboard, mouse, removable drive, someone elses phone, whatever.
Could someone clarify. I plugged the adapter in how I was directed by a thread at the "pixel community". The thread referenced a way to use the adapter to transfer files however I plugged it in set the settings to xfer files and nothing. Does the adapter go into the pixel or the (in my case) Note 7? The thread listed a way to make these transfers upon start up but I'm way past start up. I need to transfer a couple apps and a big phone log and a truck load of texts. Any help out there?
Hi, may i know if there is USB OTG support for Note 10+? I cannot use OTG on my device, is it hardware problem? or software problem?

This thread prompted me to check the OTG for myself, I have USB 3.0 dongle that I haven't used for a while - all is good, it works.
This dongle doesn't require additional, supporting apps, I just plugged it in and it showed as a drive right on.
I dont't know if it qualifies an OTG device, but I used my Flir cam with the Note 10+ and it works. Since it is a micro usb connection, I had to get a micro to USB C adapter and it specifically requires an OTG rated or compatible connector. The regular micro usb to USB C adapters don't work.

It does work, every combination I tried. Not a necessity to even have a designated OTG dongle:

For a Flir One? I was specifically talking about attaching a Flir. It is a specific requirement to make it connect to a USB C device.
For data transfer, charging, or other connections, I can use any micro usb to C adapter.

No, not specifically. I was referring to OP question in general terms. Sorry if I misled you.
i tried plugging in my USB OTG pendrive, there is no notification that it detects the drive. could it be a regional firmware problem?

Shouldn't make any difference, it's OS ability to do these things. In my case I just plug it into USB and it shows in "My files" app.
How is your pendrive formatted, is it FAT32? My microSD drives for Android are all formatted as FAT32 I even found a way to format 64 and 126GB to FAT32. Can't use it for full movies though. If you have another microSD around try to format it as FAT32 and see if that works.
Also, see if it helps when you change the default settings for connected USB devices.
