BTW this is my first usb-c device.
Mine arrived today and I wanted to unlock the bootloader. I used the adapter to connect a usb-a - usb-a cable from my phone to the computer. My phone would charge, but that's it. PC does not recognize it being plugged in. I tried multiple ports, etc. PC recognizes when I plug my s7e in.
What am I doing wrong? Do I possibly have a bad usb-a - usb-a cable (I just bought this one, don't have another). Should I be using the usb-c cable with another adapter (I doubt that's the case...). Do I just need a usb-c - usb-a cable?
Anyways I guess it's time for me to put my VZW sim in for now and enjoy it until I figure this out.
Thanks!!
If you have USB Debugging enabled in developer options, once you plug it into the PC, you'll pull down the notification area and change the USB Connection Options from charging to transfer files.
Because you forgot to go Noot Noot!

Try a different cable. Preferably a USB-A to USB-C cable. With the original Pixel, it was quickly discovered the phone was very picky about what cable you use to try and connect/communicate with a computer. With my 2 XL, I've been using the white USB-A to USB-C cable that came with my original Pixel and I've had no issues. The computer recognizes the phone every time and all ADB/Fastboot functionality has been flawless.
You can get the cable directly from Google, here:

Alternatively, if you have other USB-A to USB-C cables around the house, try those out.
My Pixel 2 XL needed a reboot after I set it up before computer would recognize. Before I rebooted it would just ding a few times then go back to Charging.

Cool!
You can't use the included adapter to do this. The included adapter is a USB OTG adapter.

I have the adapter cable but does not work for GS2 but on the HTC HD2 its work.
Why does not work, does not show me any sign that the cable connected. Does it have to be some special cable?

Hello all,
Today I was excited to find a cable that I'd ordered last week from Hong Kong on ebay had arrived.
Micro USB MHL to HDMI Cable Adapter HDTV For Samsung Galaxy S2
Well if it works on the S2 then it probably works on the Note. Well I plugged an HDMI cable into my Dell 1920 x 1200 monitor, that cable into the adapter and then a micro USB power cable into the micro USB power socket of the device.
Doesn't work
Hmm. Its a pretty simple device. Well I tried swapping micro USB cables in case it works differently with MHL or non MHL cables. Still does nothing. Damn.
Maybe it requires particular software to drive the video. Well no joy yet. If anyone has some suggestions then I'm happy to hear them. It was pretty cheap. But I wish it worked...
In case you were thinking of getting one of these. Here is the one that I bought.

Are you aware that it needs power? In your case, your device needs to be connected to computer usb (as it said in item description)

I have a similar one to that from China or somewhere and works great, do need to plug in your mains charger for it to work though. Only issue I had was you I needed to screen fit on my telly because it wasn't fitting properly but after I ran that it fit to te screenproperly.
Good news that MHL is working on the note, especially after the news of the Pioneer AppRadio 2.

I wasn't clear enough in what I wrote. I plugged in the micro USB power cable into the devices micro USB power socket just like in that picture, so yes I gave that a go but still didn't work
I bought a Menotek brand adapter off Amazon, and it works great for me. My TV luckily had a USB port (for firmware updates), and it powered the device just fine.
i bought one off ebay and according to the seller it is the original one
it works great
but you need to turn off the data (3g) because it causes disconnects on the lcd
I'm sorry if this question already asked before
When we connect SGW through cable data to PC the charging process is automatically.
I tried to stop it, so when we connect to PC with USB cable no more charging process on our device.
The process could damage the digitizer if we connect it or charge our device through cable data because the PC voltage wasn't stable.
So, how I can stop the charging process whenever I connect SGW to PC with cable data?

There is no way u can disable it by using soft-approach. The only way should be physically removing the DC in wire in the cable.

I would suggest you try to fix your computer before modifying any cables, as you say it is the computers fault.
usb requires dc voltage, so if you remove/damage dc+ or gnd wire the connection on bus will simply not work, had such an experience with one old chinese mini-usb cable..
but with only 2 contacts (dc+ and gnd w/o D+ and D-) charge is ok

So ICS supports USB gamepads/mice/keyboards which is awesome. The only problem is that the Galaxy Nexus only has one available USB port.
How can I connect a USB device to the gnex and charge it simultaneously?
Powered USB hub.
I see how that could work, however I want as little bulk as possible, and a USB hub would add a lot of clutter.
That got me thinking though.
Would there be any problem with charging and playing using this diagram?

It isn't going to work, since the usb port on a nexus only can do one thing at a time: charging/being a slave (transferring files from a pc) or act as a host (for a keyboard/mouse/gamecontroller). This will not work together until a kernel dev finds/creates a workaround.

Usb OTG supports accessory/charge mode, but the cable has to have the correct id for the usb chip to allow it. I don't think any cables have this enabled as of yet.

If not, what has to be done to enable this?
Also, does this mean the powered USB hub won't work either?

I have a feeling that even if charging works (and I think it should) it will only charge at 500mA as I doubt OTG will work properly if you enable Fast USB charge. At the very least your battery won't die out quickly I guess, depending on the game's requirements hardware wise.
I'll try it out tonight if I can find my damn OTG cable.
Confirmation: Does not work.
Found my cable, and connected the phone to a powered usb hub. It actually would not charge OR read a thumb drive with stick mount. Both worked seperately, but the OTG is not a multitasker. Sorry.
Get 4 Samsung Epic 4G Touch here. 2 of them can detect by Win7, Charge, access internal memory, able to flash in Download mode. USB debug on. etc.
And another 2, they take Charge the battery. Win7 can't detect it. Can't flash in Download mode. Can't access internal memory from PC. I'm sure Driver installed correctly. If not, why anther 2 phone detected.
I have tried different USB cable. Some detect and sometime do. Is it USB connecter or USB cable inside the phone get bad?
I clear up usb connecter and maybe I'll heat gun to heat up the usb connector and usb chip and let you guy know.
This question probable won't be answered because You're in the wrong category.
I suppose I can give you my 2 cents. I have had two of these phones and on both the port on the phone has gone bad.

I'm sure it's not the driver Ryan.. It's bad USB port... most hardware related.
Anyone have advice or guide of easy way to change USB port without soldering??
Sounds like a bad charging port.
You can't really change the charging port without soldering. If you don't have the ability to change it yourself i'd suggest looking for a repair service, there are some on ebay.
Good luck!
