USB - C adapter - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

Just got my S20+ and I tried to use my oem usb c from my OnePlus 6T and it said its unsupported, does that mean I can only use samsung oem adapter or is it something I can change in my settings

Accessories Included cable and charger compatiility

I'm looking for a longer cable ( maybe not white) that can still charge at 33W using the included charger but i'm really confused.
It seems that the provided cable is only usb 2.0 (like the phone) but has an extra pin in the ground position in the usb3.0 layout. That pin is probably used to communicate to the provided charger (CC pin in the type C port for standard Type C to Type C PD cables) following the power delivery specifications.
Are common usb3.1 A to C cables fully compatible with the charger or i'm forced to buy a new charger too? Anyone that has already bought a cable has some advice?

The cable just need to be 3A to delivery 11V/33W.
I bought this: Orico B2-ACA01 and works like stock Xiaomi cable (appers Mi Turbo Charge on screen).
My older cable Orico HTF-10 is just 2.4A and can't achive 33W.
Well, there is another options to buy: Baseus, Blitzwolf, Anker. Look about amperes, need to be more than 3A and deliveries 33W or higher.

Accessories usb a to type c adapter recommendations

Hi all,
As per title, can anyone recommend a good quality usb a to type c adapter so that I can do data transfer between laptop and 9 pro? , as there's no tyoe c port on the laptop. Thanks
i've had good luck with Choetech from Amazon
Yeah I picked up some cheap ones on Amazon that do the trick just fine. I don't remember, but does OnePlus provide a USB to usb-c dongle in the box like Google does for their pixel phones?
The one from the 8 pro is what I use and thankfully working since a couple others I tried didn't work.
Use OnePlus cable Usb A to Usb C.
I have usb type C on my laptop, but is for charging...

Question DEX?

I know the Fold 3 has DEX. But has someone tried using a USB-C to USB-C cable to attach to a monitor? I have a touchscreen monitor and I use said cable to connect my Note 9 to enable the touchscreen function with DEX. However when I plug my Z Fold 3, it doesn't work.
I thought dex only worked through hdmi to type c?
portable monitors are usb c to USB c
It should work. Make sure it's not just the connection to that monitor by trying usb c to hdmi. Potentially need to do the initial setup of dex in order to get it to work properly with a touch screen monitor
It's probably the cable - I've tried with usb c to usb c and it works in my case.

I'm almost certain it's the cable. I've had this issue so many times.

Some cable is only for charging not data. Get the right cable.
There is definitely something up with the Dex on the z fold 3, I use to plug my S20 ultra and s21 ultra into laptop docks to test them and zfold doesn't detect the monitors at all, if I plug direct to screen by usb c or usb c to hdmi it works fine , hopefully this will get fixed

Question PCIe 2-Port USB3.1 Gen2 Card

I have tried USB-A to USB-C cable on my computer but the only thing that works with the cable is windows file transfers, in fastboot it just never connects to the device, i have used my GFs PC that has a native USB-C port in the front to do my fastboot commands and it works just fine.
My PC dont have USB-C and my motherboard is this : Asus Tuf Z390 Plus Gaming Wifi
The case is a Be Quiet : PURE BASE 500 Black
I have tried all the back USB-A ports and the 2 in the front same results.
I wonder if this PCI-E Card can help me use my fasboot commands on my computer or is just a faster transfers i get with it?
ST Lab PCIe 3.0 USB3.1 2-Port (Type-C)
Tried using another A-C cable? Might be the cable itself is faulty

You might want to try out another cable. Sometimes they just suck.

I have 10 different cables that are USB-A to USB-C, maybe they all suck, but the original Pixel 6 Pro USB-C to USB-C is good, maybe you can advise me on a good USB-A to USB-C cable?

Anything by Anker. Edit: Be aware that last I looked, they also sell USB 2.0 USB-A<->USB-C cables, so I just want to give you a heads up to look out for that and I'm sure you'd want to only buy a USB 3.0 USB-A<->USB-C cable.
Also, I don't know if the recommendation is still the same, but it was always advised in the old days to prefer USB ports that are built into the motherboard - sometimes even more specifically on the back of the motherboard (for desktops). I know this doesn't help you, but just "let the buyer beware" that using an add-on USB-C card could also cause problems.

Do you have the latest USB drivers installed?
And like others have said, try different cables. Can't tell you how many times I've seen this problem solved just by using different cables.
Get the Google USB Driver | Android Studio | Android Developers
The Google USB Driver is required to perform adb debugging on Windows with Google devices.

Its not your hardware, its your operating system. Try a better one, i.e. Linux.

Be aware that last I looked, Anker also sells USB 2.0 USB-A<->USB-C cables, so I just want to give you a heads up to look out for that and I'm sure you'd want to only buy a USB 3.0 USB-A<->USB-C cable.
I highly recommend Anker cables like this: USB Type C Cable, Anker PowerLine+ USB C to USB 3.0 Cable (6ft), High Durability, for Samsung Galaxy Note 8, S8, S8+, S9, S10, Sony XZ, LG V20 G5 G6, HTC 10, Xiaomi 5 and More.
Double-check Anker's site too in case they have a better sale price right now.

Question Google USB Cable

I can use none google usb cable to charge pixel6pro but I cannot charge oneplus8pro by google usb cable.
Is there any secret on google usb cable ? Will it is clue to brick pixel6pro if using none google usb cable ?
You can use any quality cable. The only other brand other than an OEM cable that I trust is Anker, although I've gotten lucky with some (now discontinued) random name brands.

It is the OnePlus cable isn't a standard USB cable it is a propitiatory standard, that said any good quality cable should still charge the OnePlus phone but only at 15W (if memory serves).
Anker all the way for me as well, i cannot remember the last time i used the cable that came with a phone.
As mentioned by @MrBelter it's the OnePlus cable that's the issue.
I've had this cable for about 4 years (see link), and used it on the Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 4 XL, and Samsung Galaxy S21 with no issues...still using the same came on my P6P.

OnePlus either uses firmware within the USB connector, or a specific resistance value to determine if the cable is an OP cable and it's likely they do so to limit legal liability from users who unintentionally try to push 3A - 5A through a cable not designed to handle current that high.
Folks have unintentionally used shoddy USB cables to charge a smartphone that resulted in the death of the user.
When folks speak about a "quality" cable, it's referring to the wire gauge of the cable, as it's the gauge of the wire that dictates how much current can safely pass through the wire without causing it to overheat from the high resistance caused by pushing more current through the cable than the cable is designed to carry.
A quality manufacturer will list the gauge of the wires within a USB cable and if a listing doesn't have the wire gauge listed, my rule of thumb is it can handle no more than 10W (5V @ 2A). MonoPrice is a well known manufacturer of quality cables and they lifetime guarantee all their cables with a no-hassle lifetime warranty.
