Hello Guys,
I wonder if there is some tricks to use our OnePlus 3T in the Samsung Gear VR ?
Maybe with some modification there is way to use it in it no ?
Thanks
Try removing the USB-C port on the OnePlus 3T and adding a USB-Micro port instead, then you will be able to use the GearVR.

Yep, the newest version which was supposed to be used with Note 7 had USB-C port.
I didn't know that. You can probably rip the software and libraries from an S7 or Note 7 and get it working then.
The 3T fits into the gear VR. Just tried it out but the problem is to get the software working ...

The Gear VR (2nd generation at least) had a micro USB and a USB-C adapter
That's probably not gonna work, your best bet is to get a more generic VR helm like the Bobo VR Z4 like I'm using. It's got an integrated navigation button and speakers with volume control.

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
This one's a shocker for me. Lot of websites lists OTG as one of the supported features of the XZ1 Compact, but today I was unable to use it and turned to Google for help.
My search turned up this recent thread on Sony's forums: https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...G-support-for-Xperia-XZ1-Compact/td-p/1266035
An official Sony representative seems to confirm that OTG is not supported. Noooooooo!
Xperia devices do currently not support USB On-The-Go (USB OTG), but they do support the USB Host standard.
Xperia XZ1 Compact support the following; HID, USB hub, USB mass storage and Audio. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee compatibility with third party USB accessories. However do make sure that you are using a USB-host adapter and not just a USB cable.

99% of the time this phone works perfectly for me, but that 1% time when I need to use OTG... goddamn it. Yet another compromise.
So, let's see, no FM radio, no double tap to sleep/wake, distorted photos, and now no OTG. Wonder what new missing feature I'll discover next for f***'s sake.
The XZ1C is certainly no cheaper than any of the Z family compact series, yet they've removed so many useful features for unknown reasons.
Why, Sony? Why?
Why are you crippling your flagship phones?
Why are you the only player making top end spec'd phones in compact dimensions? I literally have no alternative option! (And no, the iPhone SE is not a competitive product, the screen is tiny and it's a few generations too old.)
S835 + 4GB RAM + 720p 4.6" screen + 2700mAh battery is a freaking sweet winning combo, plus SD card, 3.5mm jack, fingerprint sensor and waterproof - they are all insta-buy bullet points... but all these little pitfalls man, really, really sticks out like a sore thumb.
Can't express my disappointment enough.
What were you trying to use USB OTG for? I plugged in a flash drive and it worked.
Per Sony rep's reply, certain USB Host standards are supported (HID, USB hub, USB mass storage and Audio), which is why you were able to read the flash drive, but USB OTG isn't supported.
I'm trying to use a Easycap video adapter with my phone. It used to work with Z3C and Z5C, alas, no longer.
It appears that I'm having issues as well.
I yet have to try some other Type-C adapters.
That sucks. It was also useful for making backups if your screen is broken. With the digitiser bonded to the LCD in some brands like Sony's, cracked glass means unusable touch.

I tried my xz1 compact OTG USB with solid explorer with OTG plugin, the result looks solid explorer on the USB OTG but then does not display it in the explorer menu, there is something wrong with it.
OTG WORKS.
Bull****. NOT CONFIRMED. XZ1 Compact with USB mouse works.

So of course USB mouse is expected to work, as are USB flash drives. But OTG is not supported.
Exactly.
Which is unfortunate, because I think my FLIR One relies on OTG functionality.
I'll see about that once I get my adapters.
Sony have really dialled back on what they support. No "Remote Shares" is the one that bugs me the most. My Z3C was the best phone I've ever owned, this one is turning out to be a bit of a lemon. Which I had bought a OnePlus 5 or Honor 9 now.

OTG is not supported, but all OTG functions works? What is your problem?

If anyone has a problem, it's you with that attitude of yours. I don't really understand the need for such hostility.
I've quoted straight from the horse's mouth that OTG is not supported, the source is linked in my original post.
If you believe there's a contradiction in that statement, please take your argument to Sony's rep.
The OTG function I was able to use previously on my Z5C (which supports OTG) is no longer working on the XZ1C.
So your claim that all OTG functions works is questionable.
Did a quick test. Usb SD-Card, usb mouse, usb keyboard and usb UVC video (is this OTG?) are working. All tested via usb-x to usb-c adapters.
Update: Did the test on latest firmware update: 47.1.A.2.374

The video thing is good to hear.
Mind if I ask, what adapters do you use? Do you happen to have a link for them?

For the full size usb to c I order the following:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New...-3-0-Female-Adapter-OTG-Data/32798937324.html
Out of three ordered two worked for OTG. One did not.
For micro to c I ordered:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Min...r-converter-for-Macbook-Letv/32788873052.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB...r-Converter-Connector-For-LG/32694996723.html
They worked for OTG (so far).
For c I also ordered:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Met...nnector-Type-C-Male-to-USB-2/32815823175.html
No luck on OTG, only 'normal'.
Be aware, your mileage still may vary. Tested adapters also on a Pixel but that gave different results. Some worked on both, some only one of the two. Do not know the details at the moment.
thanks for your input I'll probably buy one of them. I was wondering though, anyone manage to get ethernet working? There's no grayed out ethernet option..
thinking about getting this one: amazon.com/Smays-Ethernet-compatible-Raspbian-Raspberry/dp/B00L32UUJK (sorry forum wouldn't let me make a link)
the otg with the new firmware and ok 471.A.2..374
this isn't the xperia z1 compact.

I believe you're in the wrong thread. searching "firmware 14.4.a.0.157" in google only comes up with xperia z1 compact results. Are you saying that the firmware update is compatible with the xperia xz1 compact?
EDIT: Sorry, my mistake. I realized that its also for the xperia xz1 compact. I found out by going to Settings>System>About phone
I might have to return mine, it seems that OTG does not work for me.
I already tried various devices with 3 different adaptors, none of them even get powered.
I tried micro to type C adaptor by Nillkin, not working.
I have OnePlus OTG adapter (Type-C to Micro-USB) which works perfectly on OnePlus Two Mobile.
I now purchased a OnePlus 5T which doesn't detect to OTG option.
OTG option in settings is also enabled. i don't what's wrong but can anyone help.

Praveen

I'm using the Quantum Zero OTG adapter and OTG works fine on my 5T. Try using different adapters and see.

Am I correct in saying that this model of the Gear VR only has a microUSB connector and is the reason why it isn't compatible with newer phones with USB C type connectors.

No its came with USB c adapter

Hi,
has there been any rumors about HDMI over USB so far?
If I am not mistaken, this functionality was disabled by Google in the previous pixel phones...
Good question but haven't heard anything yet...
It never was HDMI, it is DisplayPort. HDMI over USB C doesn't exist.
Please add fricking desktop mode to AOSP of Android(I mean native one not gimmick one at Dev Settings). Damn why this is soo hard? You just released a Car Android in it. Why you are not trying anything on desktop mode feature. You already have working framework and API's for it. Samsung, LG, Huawei, Moto using it. And it's working damn well with little mods these OEM makes. Please Google bring official desktop mode to Android phones.

I am no expert but it seem that it does:
HDMI Alt Mode USB Type-C
HDMI Alt Mode for USB Type-C, HDMI Type C, HDMI type-c, HDMI Type-C connector, HDMI Type C connector, 4K, ARC, HEC, CEC,
www.hdmi.org
case closed I guess...
Google Tensor: Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro to feature dual ARM Cortex-X1 and ARM Cortex-A76 cores, no DisplayPort Alt mode supported
According to a report, the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will run on dual ARM Cortex-X1 and ARM Cortex-A76 cores, supported by four power-efficient Cortex-A55 cores. Both smartphones will support aptX, aptX HD and LDAC Bluetooth codecs, a feature of past Pixel smartphones. There will be no DisplayPort...

i tried a usb C to hdmi adapter on the regular pixel 6 today and no luck. i assume it's not going to work with the 6 pro, im going to try with a 6 pro when it gets delivered tomorrow. google hasn't added display out over usb in any of it's phones, I assume because they don't want to directly affect google cast sales

Thank you for trying this out.
It's just a shame considering how good a desktop mode could be looking at the implementations made by Samsung, Huawei and Motorola...
Yeh, we need this capability in today's world! Cheers

There's already a desktop mode, albeit it's very barebones on AOSP/Pixel phones...

Except it wouldn't affect Chromecast sales in most cases. It's a completely different use case - casting is mostly a very limited "play this media on this display" thing, and most people would still opt for a $50 dongle if it means they don't have to hook their phones up to the TV.
Whereas display output over a wired connection would be mostly used for desktop (partial) replacement, where a Cast dongle wouldn't work anyway.
