My adapter didn't work either. I bought a special cable, which works.
Buy a USB Type-C to USB-A female adapter, those microUSB to USB Type-C doesn't work with OTG.

Hello,
I want to buy a usb-c cable for my Nexus 5x. But I also need a USB-c otg cable. So I would like to know:
Do I need both? A usb cable without otg in order to connect it with a pc and also a usb otg cable to connect it with other devices or is a usb otg cable everything I need? Is it possible to send images from my Nexus 5x to my pc via a usb otg cable?
Either way you'll need two different cables to do both since the USB OTG will go to a USB A female connector and you'll need a male connector to plug into your computer. I'm not sure if it would properly give up host to your PC when you tried to connect to it anyway.
Also in the future you might get more help in the Q/A sections for these types of things.
I have a Micro USB OTG cable and tried to use it with my Type C to Micro USB adapter for connecting a USB flash drive to my Nexus 5x. It fails no matter what I do.
Anyone have a clue to what the problem could be? Both the adapter and my OTG cable works fine separately.

I accidentally bought one that is just an adapter for charging, and had to get a different one that works for OTG. The one I have that works is on Amazon, here.
Not all USB C to micro USB adapter will work as OTG adapter. I have two adapters which can charge/data but not OTG.
I bought something like this. Looks like usb 3.0 (more pins) and its working fine.

I tried to do the same just as a test, and it also did not work. My usb c otg cable works fine tho.
In case anyone was unaware....Came across a video on YouTube and found out that one of the adapters that came with the phone, USB-C to USB Female-which was part of the SmartSwitch, turn out that it is an OTG adapter.
You can use it to connect thumb drive, usb harddrive, usb hub, keyboard and mouse...It even lets you charge another device from your phone.
The microUSB adapter is just that an adapter not OTG ....I did find a 2 pack OTG adapter for USB-C to microUSB on amazon for $7 and have verified they work too. USB 3.1 Type-C to MicroUSB 2.0 Female OTG Adapter, Gray, pack of 2, for Google Pixel/Pixel XL, Nexus 5X/6P, LG G5, Moto Z, HTC m10 & others
I think this is detailed as an OTG adapter within the owners manual anyway
Nexus 5x 7.1.1 rooted.
OTG works when mounting a flash drive, using a USB-C -> female USB A adapter.
If I plug in a USB LTE dongle, it doesn't power on. I've tried the above adapter, and a standard micro-USB OTG cable connected to a micro-USB -> USB-C adapter, without success. The dongle works with an OTG cable on a Galaxy S4, and on computers.
USB-C can manage OTG via negotiation between the phone and peripheral; it doesn't rely on the ID pin to be shorted. I'm guessing the dongle doesn't have the software to talk to USB-C devices.
Has anyone else had issues with peripherals (not flash cards) connecting via OTG?
For reference, the dongle is a Huawei 397u-53 4G LTE adapter.
I would like to know if using a microusb adapter i can charge and share my mobile data trough usb simultaneously ?
Thx in advance for reply
What type of microusb adapter?
USB tethering to a PC already chargers the phone while it's connected.

The idea is:
- a microusb cable witch ends in two parts,a female usb and a female microusb
- ill plug the power in female microusb and then a usb to ethernet adapter in the female usb
- plug the ethernet in ps4
