Does OTG (USB flashdrive) still work with USB-C on these? - Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers

Hi all, I just ordered an A50 after 3 years of owning a J7 2016 with the old fashioned micro USB. I can connect a flashdrive to it using an OTG dongle cable (micro to usb-a). After I ordered the A50, I just realized that it uses a USB-C instead of the micro. Can I still access flash drives with a regular USB-C to USB-A dongle that came with my Dell laptop?

USB OTG cable for NOTE 10.1 2014? This one?

Hey,
Will this USB OTG cable work with the NOTE 10.1 2014? I'm looking to pair up a windows mouse which has a mini dongle to the tablet. Is this the right cable?
Evidently, I still cannot post outside links, so on Amazon, if you copy and paste this "Cable Matters (2-Pack) Micro-USB 3.0 OTG Adapter in Black for Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note 3 by Cable Matters", you'll see which one I'm talking about (a 2 pack one).
Also, do I need to download any apps in order to make my mouse connect to the note 10.1?
Thanks
I bought jig usb dmfew years ago and otg cable was in package aswell, otg works on my p605 perfectly

That will work. I use it with my flash drives and external drive. Never tried a mouse as I use a Bluetooth mouse.

Thanks I've been trying to find a bluetooth mouse which doesn't have a usb dongle and will connect with android. What should I be searching for on Google/Amazon? I think I saw one for android, but it was way too expensive, around 100 bucks.
TIA.

This one WILL NOT work with the tablet. It has Micro USB 3.0 connector which is not compatible with the tablet MicroUSB 2.0
This one works perfectly for me. Virtually every device works.

Otg type-c adapter problem

Hello everybody, i just received a usb type-c to female usb adapter (made by Victsing®) from amazon on this link amazon.fr/VicTsing-Adapteur-Convertisseur-Chromebook-appareils/dp/B017I8A40CUnfortunately it is not working on my oneplus 2. I plugged a mouse, xbox 360 controller, usb pen drive and it didn't even turned on. No lights, nothing...
Is there any tweak or app to instal to make it work? My opt is rooted and xposed is installed.
Thanks in advance!

after looking through many forums, it seems that the issue is that OnePlus has used a slightly different setup with a 2.0 usb type-c connector so it doesn't work with anything other than their first party connectors. I have tried to connect a kingston data traveler microduo 3c and it isn't recognised either
So the issue is a hardware problem i guess, only solution is to buy their usb type c to micro usb adapted and then plug OTG cable?
So there will be no software fix...
Where do we find this orignal convertor

It may be possible for them to provide an update that creates a workaround to the problem however that does not seem very likely, i guess we just have to wait and see

the original converter would be on the oneplus site or i have heard they are also available on Ali Express
So not in India yet i guess
Hmm... I have the original OTG cable from oneplus, 2 other OTG cable ( 1 is USB 2 and the other works both with USB2 and USB3 with power up mass storage) and none of them work for my OPT.... HOWEVER they work for my OPO.... fking oneplus....
Thank you for your responses.
Hope that android MM or CM will give a solution!
i asked the oneplus official, they said ONLY THEIR OTG adapter can work with OPT...
and what's worse, they are currently out of stock of this stupid adapter! They told me to visit offline shops. oh are you kidding?
well that sucks. I was planning to buy a OPT but decided not to. they decided to leave quick charge/turbo charge alone and made some modifications on their port so only their product would work. what about the countries where it's hard to ship a product. damn this is lame
I bought a third-party USB-C to Micro-USB adaptor from Amazon that works with Micro-USB OTG drives and my old Micro-USB OTG cable with a USB mouse & USB memory sticks.

Thanks for reply I'll try this method.
Anyway I bought an OTG adapter (uUSB) and an uUSB-TypeC adapter (Xiaomi) and it works! (seems the problem is type C otg are always 3.0 op2 does not support USB 3.0 standard)
Mmm tbh I only use my USB stick and that always seems to work okay. USB C is just future proofing got to wait for rest to catch up now.

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?

TYPE-C OTG

Can anyone point me to 3t compatible type-c OTG for using flash drive ? I'm in India!
Just search up "USB C OTG" on somewhere like Amazon? It's not like there's a special type specifically for the 3T.

this doesn't seem to be available in India,
any Indian op3t user suggest me a good OTG for our beast!
search for Parallel Universe OTG on amazon.in
Got it today, works well with my OP3T. plus its on discount. Cheers!!
I suggest get any generic MicroUSB OTG and USB C to MicroUSB Adapter. I confirm these working with my old OTG cable just fine and now I can use any MicroUSB cable for Charging, Data Transfer and OTG just fine.
Personally, I purchased the OTG cable directly from 1+ so that I could guarantee functionality.
You can buy it here: https://oneplus.net/oneplus-type-c-otg-cable

One Plus 3T OTG and Micro USB to type C adaptors/ Oneplus3t OTG capabilities

I had some initial difficulty getting a micro usb OTG cable working, I ended up testing a few and thought I would share in case it saves anyone else some time or money.
if anyone else has adapters they've tried feel free to list them
I actually haven't tried a straight USB type C OTG cable yet, all have been micro USB OTG units with a micro USB to type C converter since I already had so many lying around.
First off I should mention not all micro usb to USB type C converters support OTG.
this Meenova one does and works with the oneplus 3t: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018G6IK7E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
with that converter pretty much any OTG adapter will work.
Charging also works.
This micro USB OTG adaptor is nice because its so low profile.
I tested it with a flash drive and it works fine with the Meenova adapter listed above.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0196FG4DG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This Samsung adapter also works well with the Meenova adapter, it has quite a few features which I tested on the Oneplus 3t, its expensive though so unless you have a Samsung tablet as well its not likely to be worth it for most people:
built in features:
two USB ports
Ethernet port
Charging port for simultaneous charging and OTG
On the Oneplus 3t both charging and OTG work fine but not at the same time.
whichever you plug in first is what it will use until you unplug and re-plug in the adapter.
That being said my understanding is that this is likely just a kernel limitation, it was the same way on the nexus 7 and a custom kernel enabled the simultaneous charging.
I'm not sure how useful that would be on a phone but I thought I would mention it.
Both USB ports work simultaneously, I connected two flash drives and both were picked up by the phone right away.
I wasn't able to get the Ethernet port working, or at least there was no indicator that it was working (My samsung tablet gives a notification that the Ethernet is plugged in but Samsung may have added that, I'm not sure) I'll play with it some more later.
Adaptor link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J2N0GB4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and lastly I tried this micro USB to type c adapter and charging works but OTG does not:

Thanks for your post about OTG adapters. Do you have any updates on this issue? I'm looking for possible adapters but cannot find any.
The Meenova adapter is not available in Europe and also seems not to be available from Amazon.com anymore. I can also disadvise from Anker USB adapter because it doesn't work.
What I'm looking for is an USB typ-C to microUSB adapter for audio output via USB.
Anker adapter supports dash charge (works with oppo vooc power bank). I am trying OTG now, but I have some cheap OTG dongle (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5pc...G-adapter-for-HTC-for-Samsung/1734417126.html) and I am not sure if it works at all Anyway OTG via Anker is not working for me at this moment.
