Anyone have success using USB OTG? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a USB drive that has Micro USB OTG on it. I was trying to transfer some data from my Nexus 5 to my Nexus 5X. I have a OnePlus MicroUSB > USB C adaptor which works fine with a USB cable to my computer, but isn't recognising the flash drive. I also used a OTG to USB A adaptor and put the flash drive in there and still nothing. Has anyone successfully used USB OTG on the 5X?

Hope that answers your question. It might be your cable.

[Q] Standard USB or MHL?

I am currently using an MHL adapter for my phone to run mirrorlink on my Pioneer headunit. All my cables run up through my center console and the short cord coming from the MHL is too much of a pain to work with. I found a company that will build me a custom cable as long as I provide them the specifications. I'm thinking of a specific retractable micro USB cable (female to male) but I want to know if the output cable on the MHL adapter is special in any way.
Here is the cable I'm referring to. If this is just a normal micro USB, my idea will work. If it's a special pin configuration to support the MHL data, I don't think the cable company will have access to that kind of hardware

The problem with this is that it is USB 3.1, I think the adapters that OnePlus uses in USB 2 and that is why only their adapter works. for OTG

Isn't USB 3.1 supposed to be backward compatible or something?
I got a USB Type C to USB 3.1 Type A female adapter for OTG with my OP2 but it isn't working...

Micro USB 2.0 to Micro USB 3.0 adapter

I found this USB 3.0 Micro B Female (9-Pin) to USB 2.0 Micro B Male (5-Pin) adapter.
I'm wondering if I used this adapter with a Note 3 cable, would I be able to benefit from the USB 3.0 transfer speeds, or is that still limited by the Note 4 USB 2.0 port even with the adapter? I couldn't find any information on anyone using this before, and I don't know much about how the hardware works. Thanks.

Yes, because the note 4's usb port has no 3.0 capabilities that adapter is really only useful if you don't have a micro usb cable. It can't output the 3.0 speeds, no matter what adapter.

Spectra USB DAC

I have this Honor 7x, it's the first phone I haven't rooted or changed the Rom. I'm quite happy with it.

I like to listen to music and I have the Spectra USB DAC. It doesn't work on the Honor 7x. On my previous Note 3 (R.I.P) I had a micro USB 3 Adapter that worked.
For some reason the Spectra doesn't work with a micro USB to USB-A host Adapter. I have also tried using a micro USB cable and then plugging in the Spectra through a USB-A to USB-A Adapter.
Still nothing. I wonder if it is a hardware issue or something is missing or disabled in software?

Which hub or switch is compatible with these functions?

Hi, i need to connect my Moto G5 Plus to USB PC and a mouse to my phone at same time...
Because the touch screen stopped working after update Oreo 8.1 when USB Debugging is off and i did a hard reset without remember my Gmail account/password.
I need to frp bypass with bootloader locked and with a mouse to activate ADB.

You're looking for a USB OTG cable like this: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p...uMzvNWmHUJn9iiqGvKtVL7vKhheD907caAsFTEALw_wcB
I can't promise it will work, but if anything is going to allow you to use a mouse on your phone, that will.
USB OTG cable is the go!
