Just ordered two of those adapters. They convert Micro USB 2.0 to USB 3.1.
Best price is 1.28!

Let me know if it works for you. I ordered http://aliexpress.com/item/2015-New...onverter-Adapter-For-Macbook/32390876259.html some time ago and the connector won't even fit into my OP2..
weird.. They look the same to me. I will definitely give a feedback!
I ordered this one...
http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6845583073.html
Still not received atm.
EDIT : fits perfectly, work with charger but not with OTG cable...
i have ordered a few off ebay. hopefully they will arrive in the morning. its good that they do these things as i have heard some people saying the cable that comes with the 1+2 wont connect to some laptops. for myself i have not had that issue but i want some backups for safe keeping.
I bought 5 from eBay for $2 ea. They work fine and I have tried them on a lot of different cables and charges both cheap and quality ones.
Good to know that most of them do work. I noticed that the OPT cable is slightly wider than some usb slots. That might be the reason why is not fitting into some laptops.
Find the UK equivalent here, http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/301706225746
ordered 2 will see how these perform and give feedback.
I have 3 of these. They work fine for charging. But NOT with my SanDisk 64GB OTG Flash Drive With micro USB connector.
Tomorrow I will get this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010HWCFDA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Hope it works with my OP2
I think those adapters are only for charging and not for data transfer :/
Ok. So I got it today but unfortunately, my OP2 does not recognizes the device. I've checked "OTG storage"
in Settings>Storage, tried to reboot.. NOTHING. Not working!! Shame on you Kingston..

Maybe your flash drive draws too much power from the phone? I assume this product was meant to be used with a Macbook Air rather than a phone with USB Type C, but I could be wrong.

As said before, some of these USB Type C adapters might not be suited for data transfer. Have you checked that?
They work alright with data transfer connected to a PC. I will buy a USB 3.1 Type C OTG Cable proper and see how it goes.
It does work just fine with my imac, under OSx and Windows.. But not with my OP2...
OTG does work fine for a friend of mine with a similar Sandisk flash drive and adapter. Pic included.

So, this works:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FUNYSA/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
However, it doesn't work for everything. A mouse works, but a USB Flash Drive doesn't seem to work, nor does another USB device that does work on the Acer A500 Android tablet I have.
So... Yeah. Just thought you guys would wanna know. I'll look into more devices. I know Honeycomb supported all kinds of USB devices (hub, flash drive, mouse, keyboard) so I'm a little surprised the flash drive didn't work. I'll let you know if I find anything else out. Might just be a driver issue we can work out with custom ROMS. Obviously the communications is working since the mouse works. It could be a power draw issue. I have a USB power meter and the mouse draws 20ma. The flash drive that doesn't work draws 60ma.
-Taylor
UPDATE: Works great with a device we are developing at work (basically a USB hub and FTDI chip combo board if that means anything to ya). It draws about 62ma, so the flash drive issue must not be due to power draw.
UPDATE 2: Rooted users can easily mount flash drives using the app StickMount in the market - its very clean and works well! Thanks to user [esoomenona] for the suggestion.

Actually it looks like no. One of the reviews points out its not a USB OTG (On the go) adapter. USB On the go is a USB port that can act either as a device (plug it into your computer) or as a host (plug in a mouse, etc). In order to tell the phone which mode to be in, USB OTG connectors need to have one of the pins hooked up to ground. Unfortunately not all of these adapters do (I have no idea what they're good for if they don't) and it looks like that one doesn't. But someone linked to the one on DealExtreme that might work.

Shoot, I paid a little over four bucks for that same one from the same company, on Newegg. I should've looked at Amazon as well. Oh well...
Okay, so I received the cable I stated above, and tried to plug in a microSD card via USB adapter, and it didn't work. After a bit of googling, I've come to think of two options for why it doesn't:
1. The cable doesn't work
2. The OS doesn't seem to mount them automatically. I found an app called StickMount on the Market, but it requires root, and I haven't rooted yet.
Anyone know anything about this?

Well I mentioned in the first post that USB flash drives don't work. A card reader is going to have the same issue, as they're basically the same. I think its related to the phone not having its own microSD card, and so it lacks the drivers to mount storage properly. Which still seems silly to me if the device has USB host support, they should include those things!
Plug in a mouse. If a mouse works, the cable is fine.

I honestly think this is going to be it...because of internal storage it doesn't come with the native ability to detect external storage. I'd imagine that app would allow it or that it'll get pushed out as an update down the road...maybe a MOD will get made too if it takes too long.
Either way, when mine comes *crosses fingers for tomorrow* I'll be rooting and post back the results.
Oh damn, StickMount works! Plug in a USB drive and stickmount will pop up asking to run. Then it mounts the drive and my file browser sees it. Then you unmount the drive before unplugging. Wish it was native but this is pretty damn simple. Thanks for finding it!
I was a bit skeptical since the USB drive doesn't even light up when you first plug it in, but once you run stickmount its all good!
Go ahead and root that thing! Just note rooting will erase the phone, so back up first!
I had a Micro USB to USB female for my Nook Color for UBS host. Tried it. Worked like a charm. It even drew enough to power a hub, the keyboard, and the mouse. I was shocked. Im going to but a splitter and use a MHL out to HDMI for 1080 goodness.
Got mine on Amazon for $1.46. Works well (I just wish it was a cable and not a plug though(.
I'll have to see how this works out, ordered the cable.
I have an externally powered USB hub that I can plug into the USB OTG cable.
This is great, I've been looking for these cables. Thanks!
Edit: Does anyone have any idea if you can use an MHL adapter for HDMI at the same time as one of these? I see that some MHL adapters have charging ports, but I don't know if they support data.

Using MHL through a splitter won't work based on how MHL works. You either get USB or MHL. MHL does not use USB-compatible signaling.
Alright, I typed this with a mouse and it's slow, but cool. Guess it's time to root. See you on the other side.

I got a Micro-USB to USB (female) cable form ebay... from China (I didn't know until I chekced later. I usually have the "UK sellers only" option checked).
Anyway, after an eternity, it arrived today. But, it doesn't work when I plug it in. Nothing happens. My Sandisk Cruzer doesn't light up when I plug it in or anything.
I was on the ninphetamin3 Kernel, and I've tried the Siyah kernel, just in case it's the kernel that was limiting functionality... Apparently it's not because it still doesn't work.
It only cost a couple of quid, but is there something I might be missing that I can check before buying another from the UK?

That is not necessarily an OTG cable... did it SAY it was an OTG cable? If not, it probably isnt. Pin 4 and 5 need to be connected (in the micro usb side) for it trigger OTG functionality. if it is not working it means one of 2 things:
1. You didn't buy and OTG cable, you just bought a cable with the ends you wanted, but without the funtionality
2. Something is broken on your phone... test that cable in another phone with OTG capability (go to a verizon store if you have to)
3. I think i remember seeing you need an app to use some flash drives (keybaords and mice work without any app, i can attest to that from experience)

yep, it is just a plug adapter.
You now have 2 choices:

Hi, i bought this Xiaomi TipeC Adaptor
and this MicroSd Reader, to combine them toghether with my OP3.
But they just don't work toghether.
Separately, everything is fine, Xiaomi Adaptor charge my phone, MicroSd are working fine with other adaptors or with Pc, the reader either is working fine with Pc or others smarphones.
Did i miss something?
Thanks
still one test to do, connecting one OP3 on a PC with that adapter and see if you can transfer some file with MTP.
Did you turn on OTG in the OP3 settings? If you did, try it with a different OTG device and report back

Yes man, i did, Otg it is on and it is working with a TypeC MicroSd Reader. Recognized instantly, can move files. Same MicroSd.
So, every single piece is working fine alone or in combo, just not working this combination, with XiaomiAdapter (TypeC to Micro Usb and MicroUsb MicroSd Reader) but i can't get why.
Maybe the Xiaomi adapter doesn't pass enought electricity to power the MicroUsb MicroSd Reader.
But I don't know how to "overvolt" the Otg Adapter in order to make it work.
Not sure why this occurs but I've had the same exact issue trying to use micro USB OTG adapters with a USB-A flash drive.
USB OTG just doesn't work unless you use a USB-C OTG adapter. Same thing happens in the Nexus 6P

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?

This thread prompted me to check the OTG for myself, I have USB 3.0 dongle that I haven't used for a while - all is good, it works.
This dongle doesn't require additional, supporting apps, I just plugged it in and it showed as a drive right on.
I dont't know if it qualifies an OTG device, but I used my Flir cam with the Note 10+ and it works. Since it is a micro usb connection, I had to get a micro to USB C adapter and it specifically requires an OTG rated or compatible connector. The regular micro usb to USB C adapters don't work.

Shouldn't make any difference, it's OS ability to do these things. In my case I just plug it into USB and it shows in "My files" app.
How is your pendrive formatted, is it FAT32? My microSD drives for Android are all formatted as FAT32 I even found a way to format 64 and 126GB to FAT32. Can't use it for full movies though. If you have another microSD around try to format it as FAT32 and see if that works.
Also, see if it helps when you change the default settings for connected USB devices.
