I have some questions for you guys regarding USB OTG, espicially from India. I have bought 2 wrong OTG and I'm afraid to buy malfunction adapter again. I know our phone support OTG as I can use my friend's Galaxy S8 stock OTG adapter flawlessly. Will this OTG work with our phone?
MIVI Type C to USB Adapter
If not, any suggestions? And besides, I found Samsung Galaxy S8 adaptor on Ebay. But afraid to buy as the seller only have about 80% positive feedback/rating.
This adapter will work for sure. But you can always get a lower priced one. I brought this adapter in 100 rupees in local stores.
Any type c otg with USB 3.0 shall work. I also have a cheaper one that works well on my device.

I found this Nokia cables for N8, and they are cheaper than Samsung cables, and i wonder if someone tested them?
Nokia Adapter for HDMI CA-156
Nokia Adapter Cable for USB OTG CA-157
HDMI one does not work.
Don't know about the other, but I think others have already posted about it in the existing threads on the topic (try searching).
I got an N8 before, and both cables doesn work, also the micro-USB to USB doesn't fit in.
I have an N8 but the S II hasnt reached yet. The HDMI wont work since it's not an MHL link. But the OTG should work but hyperX says it doesnt.
I got the OTG one. In theory it should work fine but unfortunately it's not micro USB :-(

yes the microusb on the nokia cable cannot fit into normal microusb slots.
however you can FILE the connector alittle and it will fit.
My wife has the N8 and it's microUSB to USB fits fine in my S2. I haven't tried the other cables.
There are two different MicroUSB types:-
SGS2 uses Micro USB B, and both cables are cheaply available on Ebay.
Paid abot £3 pound for mine which came from China.
I had previously bought one advertised for Nokia N8 and when it came it was Micro USB A - and DID NOT fit - so take care
I tried to upload an image but the forum spam filter would not let me due to new member / low posts - but try "upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/27/Micro-USB.jpg"
Is it possible to connect the S3 to a USB hub via a micro usb to female usb port.
Then connect a usb power supply to Port 1 and on Port 2 connect it to a HDTV.
Will this work properly?
Edit:
Nvm, just did some more reading and found out that the MHL adapter has a micro usb port for charging the device at the same time.

I don't think audio and video can stream via usb
Sent from my P920 using xda premium
Was planning on using this
Clicky
but as I might use it for a film or something longer than 10minutes I would like to keep it charging at the same time.
Monoprice has the micro usb to hdmi for $11. I buy a ton of stuff from them and have never had any problems with any of their products.
FYI. The only MHL adapter that works with the Galaxy S III right now is the one from Samsung. Model EPL-3FHUBEGSTA ($40). It has a 11 pin micro USB connector compared to the 5 pins on all other MHL Adapters. There is also a 5 pin to 11 pin adapter ($10) that will make the older MHL adapters work with the SGS III. Model EPL-FU10BEGSTA.

Thanks for the heads up on that. I did not know and I almost ordered that from Monoprice. I guess I will have to wait because I and not paying $40 for that adapter.

Buy the old adapter for 11 and the new adapter for the adapter for 10. It works now for only 21 dollars instead of 40. :good:

I don't have an old adaptor, so instead of getting an adapter for an adapter (whoaaaa) I'll just wait for the chinese ebay knockoff that works.
Gang,
I bought a $6+ MHL Mirco USB to HDMI on ebay claiming to be for the S3. But when I received it it was a 5 pin that worked with a S2.
Anyone buy a cheap ebay MHL that works with the S3? I realize its a usb pin problem. We need 11 pin and the older ones are 5 pin.
If you purchased one that works please let me know.
This is what I bought, still listed as for the S3 but doesn't:

I am planning to buy the Nexus 5 X so I am buying cases and cables, I need a little help from the community. I will provide a link to a Xiaomi USB Type C adapter.

Is it safe do plug it no my original LG micro USB cable I have? I have an original cable of the LG G3 an the cable from Nexus 5 2013. Wil it damage my Nexus 5X?
The seller has a 100% feedback score and a considerable amount of shipped adapters.
Thanks in advance.
I would use a adapter for data and power charging but I wouldn't be confident at flashing till you know it's safe,
Since its official it should be fine, I got cheap generic ones for my cables. It's only charging so its fine
I had some initial difficulty getting a micro usb OTG cable working, I ended up testing a few and thought I would share in case it saves anyone else some time or money.
if anyone else has adapters they've tried feel free to list them
I actually haven't tried a straight USB type C OTG cable yet, all have been micro USB OTG units with a micro USB to type C converter since I already had so many lying around.
First off I should mention not all micro usb to USB type C converters support OTG.
this Meenova one does and works with the oneplus 3t: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018G6IK7E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
with that converter pretty much any OTG adapter will work.
Charging also works.
This micro USB OTG adaptor is nice because its so low profile.
I tested it with a flash drive and it works fine with the Meenova adapter listed above.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0196FG4DG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This Samsung adapter also works well with the Meenova adapter, it has quite a few features which I tested on the Oneplus 3t, its expensive though so unless you have a Samsung tablet as well its not likely to be worth it for most people:
built in features:
two USB ports
Ethernet port
Charging port for simultaneous charging and OTG
On the Oneplus 3t both charging and OTG work fine but not at the same time.
whichever you plug in first is what it will use until you unplug and re-plug in the adapter.
That being said my understanding is that this is likely just a kernel limitation, it was the same way on the nexus 7 and a custom kernel enabled the simultaneous charging.
I'm not sure how useful that would be on a phone but I thought I would mention it.
Both USB ports work simultaneously, I connected two flash drives and both were picked up by the phone right away.
I wasn't able to get the Ethernet port working, or at least there was no indicator that it was working (My samsung tablet gives a notification that the Ethernet is plugged in but Samsung may have added that, I'm not sure) I'll play with it some more later.

and lastly I tried this micro USB to type c adapter and charging works but OTG does not:

Thanks for your post about OTG adapters. Do you have any updates on this issue? I'm looking for possible adapters but cannot find any.
The Meenova adapter is not available in Europe and also seems not to be available from Amazon.com anymore. I can also disadvise from Anker USB adapter because it doesn't work.
What I'm looking for is an USB typ-C to microUSB adapter for audio output via USB.
Anker adapter supports dash charge (works with oppo vooc power bank). I am trying OTG now, but I have some cheap OTG dongle (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5pc...G-adapter-for-HTC-for-Samsung/1734417126.html) and I am not sure if it works at all Anyway OTG via Anker is not working for me at this moment.
