I bought one of these: HERE
It doesn't work, so I'm wondering if any one has experience with this cable, it says it's an OTG but I get no power from it.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I tried to plug in several things like my PS3 controller and a HDD but nothing.
I'm wondering if the pin that is supposed to be shorted to ground is on the mini end and not the micro end like we want it to be.
Otherwise I wonder if I I can modify it work rather than send it back?
Do you have the 3.1 update?

Send me your tablet cause you have no idea how it works. No 3.1 means no USB host driver support for thoese devices. The kernel has no idea what the devices are or for what

I lol'd at these two getting owned
But anyway I built my own usingthis and a usb extension. Followed this instructions. So my guess is that the cable you have doesn't have the 5th pin (brown wire) grounded. I butchered a regular micro usb cable just to find out it didn't have the brown wire at all.
Hope this helps!

This is my guess also, but the eBay guy as you can see clearly sells it as an OTG cable. I have been in touch and he says his supplier says it's an OTG but he doesn't have the technical expertise to understand, let alone advise.
I guess the solution is as you say, I went to the workshop, and even tried the local electronics store and it seems you can't buy the micro-usb plug as an individual component so butchering other stuff seems to be the solution.
As for the tutorial, thanks, but I shouldn't need it, otherwise I should probably send back the certificate for my degree in Electronic Engineering that's on my wall, cause I really wouldn't have earned it

Yeh, It does look nice and neat, that's why I ordered that one, if I get the time I'll make some myself and just give them out to people I like on XDA. Just need to find the micro plug, mini plug is easy to get hold of.

Well, the iGo is no good, because they probably don't have the data lines connected, as it's for charging.
The one in your next post on eBay won't fit if it's an CA-157 substitute, I got hte real Nokia CA-157 and the connector is squared off at the end, picture: HERE
however, I did get a file to the end of my CA-157 and filed it to fit, and YES it works (taking a picture now)..... attached.
The cable you linked to on ebay is just a micro usb to a mini usb, an OTG cable is a Micro male to USB female.
4 bucks free shipping: Ebay
Spend 4 more dollars and get one with a cool blinky LED in it:

This ist a very good information and now I have the same cable as you working perfectly for me! In the first place I ordered the cable in the believe it would fit anyways but after receiving it yesterday I had to face the fact that there is an A and B standard of the micro usb plug. Your tip has saved me money, thanks for that!

No problem. I have this and the cable from my OP now working too. I opened it up and found the ID pin was not connected so I soldered it to ground and that works now. SO I have a direct cable for my HDD and a female USB (the filed Ca-157) for other stuff.

I guess mail is slow coming from China
Wish I had read this before ordering 2 from the same guy. Could have just bought the adapter from amazon that someone linked earlier for $0.25 a piece....
I just noticed my mini USB port is fairly loose that when the usb cable is angled at a particular direction charging stops.
I tried the same cable at two other phones and no problem. I visually inspected the port and it seems the metal that surround and supports the mini usb broke at the side making the top and bottom part separate from each other. It makes the port not a snug fit but a losse fit... And so I wonder if anyone else had this issue? I've only had my S3 for a few months and I use it roughly the same as my old phones (yes, I do use it while charging) and they didn't have this problem... Is it really that easy to break or do I seem to be mistreating it?
Note: The small pointy thing is ok, so I can still charge and do other stuff. Only issue is that it's a loose fit.

I was just dealing with this last night. It may be a little flimsy. Hopefully it doesn't get worse
I know... If it gets worse, I hope I don't get caught somewhere having unable to flash a stock rom via odin... To claim a clean warranty... Afterall, the damage is on the hardware and can be seen outside
Is it the original cable? I know my charger cable is stupid loose but my USB cable is fine.

I'll have to check with Wireless Wave where I bought the phone... Because it's either they send it for repair which would take weeks and they'd give me a crappy temporary phone... Or if I'm lucky replace it on the spot... Which I doubt... So I'll have to weigh in the options... It's not much of an issue right now but pretty sure it will be soon enough so I have to ask them soon... I'm just doing some poking around to see if other people experience this as well if it's a fairly "common" issue then they might give me a replacement if I tell them fixing wouldn't help because it may just happen again.

Found this really good deal on ebay
for $4.99 including shipping for magnet adapter for mircoUsb
i think this is better than magnet actual cable(like in 2nd like below) because then i can use my cable for other purpose and dont have to carry 2 sort of cables.
the whole point of mircoUsb is that its universal so i like to keep it that way.

link here of me testing the magnet strength.

i would say this cable was pretty good. you could text while it plugged in and it would fall. which is all i wanted.
i think these are great deals wanted to share them. this is better than opening the seal and loosening them just for charging every night.
Have you received yet?
Because i heard it can't suck in phone well drop out all the time.

I bought a cheap magnetic charging cable on ebay and it doesn't stay attached well. It would be okay for in the car or on a desk perhaps, but you can't hold the phone with the cable in or pick it up, it'll just fall out.
Does anyone know if the cable pulled from the official dock is any better?

I pulled the cable from the Sony DK30 (Z Ultra dock) and it's pretty much as you described it. The cable pretty much detaches itself when I put the phone on the carpet for charging. Even if it doesn't detach, moving the phone is enough to shift the cable to the point where it stops charging.
Looks like these have made their way to Amazon now. A little more expensive but delivery is likely to be quicker http://amzn.to/1gfEhyI

I agree with you, If the magnet is too strong it will drag the phone of someone trips over the cable, pulls it... and so on.

I wouldn't want it very strong but it has almost no strength at all. if you even lightly touch the cable it dislodges it.
I'd like to hear from someone who has the official one and the 3rd party one how the magnet strengths compare
I wouldn't waste your time on the one from Amazon, my first one I had didn't work and I've just received a replacement and the magnet is so weak if you move the cable it falls off!
I'm going to wait for more to come out.

see thats the problem sony isnt making cables like these, it designed the magnet charging port for the dock not for cable when cable is a better idea. its just depends on quality of magnet used isnt the cable now.
so lets wait for other 3rd party to make better cables.
the Chinese ones are no good as for now.
atleast they brought up a great idea.
Ordered one of these on ebay and the magnet is pretty strong but it's just very sensitive to tilting (I mean, it easily goes off when putting force in an angle). That's not weird though, look at the width of the magnet. Don't think much can be done about it... I can lift the phone by the magnetic cable if I just keep it straight.
Charging seems to go pretty slow though, perhaps it's more ment to deliver power while being in a dock (and just keeping things up to par) as opposed to actually properly charging it?
Would have to check how fast/slow it actually is but seemed to differ quite a bit with the regular usb charger. Any other opinions on this?
Hi,
i get DK31 and take the cable of. No difference with what i charge the phone /magnetic cable or original charger /

That is very different to my Amazon one. There is no chance of moving the phone at all with the magnet on the cable. It holds the connector to the phone but any movement in the phone or cable and they come apart.
Do you have a link for the one you ordered ?
I think the speed of charging is entirely down to the source used. My new Macbook pro charges full speed but my wife's Dell laptop is painfully slow

Tried unplug and replug it?
There are times where the charging becomes slow for no reason. And usually replugging can work.
Also check your port connection. Does it loose in one end? Have you tried another USB cable?

Go to any diy mobile repair shop and replace the USB port is your best bet other than sending it to xiaomi for repair
It's not just about charging,no earphone support using the 3.5mm to type c converter.ive tried different earphones and adapters but none works.i guess I'll have to look for a replacement usb ?

Will the adapter play audio only if it is being powered externally? And by that I mean the male USB-C port.
Does it support warp?

Ugh. Why can't a manufacturer figure out that warp charging is one of the main selling points of the OP7 Pro and the whole reason it doesn't have stuff like wireless charging, because it's all about fast fast fast charging? They would make a freaking fortune on a warp charging capable usb-c/3.5mm combo adapter.

Because the real reason there is no wireless charging is the same reason there is no 3.5mm jack. It is corner cutting and you can not cut corners correctly if you actually replicate the function in a new way. Then you would be creating something new and no longer cutting corners thus defeating the purpose of cutting the corner in the first place. lol
