No, I have not tried it, but they say in this thread that it is not only about power but having a resistor as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149442
especially post #10
Tested. Nope, this does not work.
I assume the resister is needed to tell the Tab to send power to the USB.
The resistor is needed to cause the Tab to enter host mode. No resistor - you've got device-to-device and that doesn't work.
Would it be possible to splice the resistors into the female-female usb cable? 2 resistors and a cable is a really cheap way to go.

No, the resistors go between two dock pins that are not connected to the stock USB cable...
old thread, but i am in the need of the same.
would it theoretically possible to have a charging cable with a usb host part spliced in? i need to be able to connect a usb hid device AND keep charging the tablet. Would the current going into the tablet be mucking things up for the usb host operation?

It shouldn't since the charging +5V input is on separate pins from the +5 USB host power. But the Tab looks at the USB D+/- pins to figure out if it should do slow or high current charging. If it sees voltages that make it look like a host is on the other end of the pins, then it does 500mA max charging, and if the pins are floating it charges at max 2A. I don't know if host mode would screw that up. You could look at the kernel source, or just try it and see.
Hi All,
Has anyone tested the new nexus 7 (2013) with a slim port and tried USB OTG at the same time?
I am very keen to find out if i can use a Nexus 7 as a portal Media machine to play back movies from a thumb drive on Hotel TVs when i travel without the need to move the file.
I understand I'd lose ability to charge the nexus 7 using USB OTG (OTG limitation) but I can live with that.
Thanks for any results
Tony.

AFAIK the Slimport cable needs to be directly plugged into the USB port so it can switch the Nexus 4 from standard microUSB to Slimport broadcast mode on negotiating with the hardware. If you attempted to run the Slimport adaptor through a hub or Y-cable it wouldn't work.
Thanks,
I was wondering if I could plug an OTG cable into the female on something like:

Yeah, the microUSB port on the Slimport is for power only, the data pins aren't even wired up.
Suppose I connect Nexus 7 to a monitor through SlimPort. This monitor has USB ports built in. If I connect a keyboard or mouse to this USB port, will it work with the tablet?

No - this wont work.
As stated above the data pins on the slimport are not connected so the USB can't be used for anything other than power.
ie. Tablet can't do anything else over usb when the slimport is in use.
Bluetooth keyboard + mouse could work for you though

Thanks. My intention was to use the tablet as a PC alternative for my parents. I have dropped the idea. Now I am thinking about getting one of those Android mini PCs instead (thread here).
The issue is the limited number of pins on the Micro USB port are multi-purpose.
A Micro USB port has 5 pins, one is power and another is ground, that leaves 3 for data. These 3 "flip" (for want of a better word) between USB mode and Slimport mode, So it can only do one or the other at any time.
So the lack of data pins on the slimport pass-through port (as stated above) is not the issue. They didn't bother wiring them up because they share a couple of pins in common and so wouldn't work anyway.
[Edit]
Just to clarify a slimport Micro USB connector has 5 pins. Samsung on the other hand are now using MHL 3.0 and they are pushing on with an 11 pin connectors that open up all sorts of options such as simultaneous data connections and even multiple displays! nice!

Hello everyone,
Is the pixel c support OTG ? can i use an usb flash drive with the pixel c ? thanks a lot
On twitter Google store answer me : "Mind if we jump in? The Pixel C does not have USB OTG. Hope that helps."

Yes. It does have OTG. I have tested it with a USB-C hub and was able to use a usb flash drive and Ethernet my device.

Is it correct that this hub doesn't have power pass through to be able to charge the tablet?
Really like the hub, but didn't buy, as I'd like it to power the tablet too.
I picked up a Griffin USB-C to USB-A adapter, plugged it in to my Pixel C, and plugged a memory stick into the cable. ES File Explorer recignized the memory stick immediately. On the box for the cable it stated that it was for plugging USB peripherals into your tablet.

With so many cables not passing Benson Leung's tests, I am a bit unsure with USB-C OTG cable I should get. The original one from Google is 15 € which is kinda expensive...
Does anyone know if he reviewed some USB-C OTG cables? I can't find anything.
It only has full size USB a ports, so can't plug in a charger no.
The battery life is great on he Pixel C though, so all good

I agree that you could get it to fit, but not sure I'd want it facing straight up with my cables and sticks attached.
Seems it would stress the port or worse I'd catch it and cause some damage.

Short answer is I don't at the moment, as have not had a chance to look at the online spreadsheet to see what he has tested and approved.
Will hopefully get to look later.
Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
Does not appear to be included in the spreadsheet, so likely he has not reviewed.
I tried Google's own USB C to A (female adapter that looks like a otg cable) with a memory stick and it did not work, however I plugged in a USB2 hub into that adapter and then plugged the memory stick into that and it sees to work like a charm with esexplorer, I could also attach other things like a mouse and that worked too at the same time! So the trick is to use a USB hub with Google's adapter first and you can use any USB accessories just not directly into the adapter. I have not tried a USB 3 type hub as I don't have one but I suspect it will be fine and give you even faster speeds.

There are lots of OTG devices that work perfectly on my Nexus 5x - such as a microSD adapter, USB C ->A with a thumbdrive and my iRig UA guitar adapter
None of these work on my Pixel C.
I just got off a chat with Google support where I was told
"I'm sorry to inform you, at this moment it's not compatible. Be rest assured [sic], our engineers are working on a software fix to make it compatible with the Pixel C."
I responded with a link to the reddit AMA which seemed to state otherwise and the support rep told me that she'd get back to me via email with a response.
You can try plugging a USB 2.0 or 3.0 hub into a USB C>A adapter (mine was the Google adapter and the hub a USB 2 unpowered type) as I did and and that worked for me and I can now access Memory sticks on my Pixel C with no extra software (not sure about your iRig but it worked with other accessories I tried plugging into the hub).

Thanks, I'll try with a hub. I just don't understand why a hub is required for the Pixel-C but not for the Nexus 5x
There certainly seems to be a less complete stack in the Pixel-c -vs- the Nexus 5x.
Interestingly when I insert a cable into the Nexus 5x I get a dialog to set the usb mode:
"Use USB for
- Charging
- Power Supply
- File Transfers
- Photo transfer (PTP)
- Midi"
Where as the Pixel-C only gets "Power Supply" as an option.

Anyone know how many amps the Axon 7's USB C port can output? Might give some insight as to why some OTG devices aren't working.
Bumping this. I have a Ps4 controller that was working fine with my OPO via USB OTG. I tried it with the Axon 7 via the same USB OTG cable, but with the USB-C adapter that came with the Axon 7.
The Ps4 controller lights up, but doesn't actually work.
Would be very disappointed if power draw is limiting this aspect of the phone.

I haven't gotten any OTG devices working with the USB-C to MicroUSB adapter (ps4 controller, 2.5" portable HDD, USB memory sticks). Perhaps this adapter is only for charging and not for data/OTG? Or perhaps the MicroUSB OTG cable I'm using is just incompatible with the adapter.
I've now ordered and am awaiting proper USB-C OTG cables.

Do update us if that helps.
Seems like YMMV with USB-OTG. there's a video of someone getting thumb drives to read with USB-OTG on YouTube. There's also someone on Reddit who got a 360 controller to work OTG also. Dunno if the latter used the adapter, though.
I decided to check if it would read my Tab S2, and sure enough, it was able to read the media content.
OK, I ordered a Belkin USB-C to USB-A adapter. Still no luck. Seems like the adapter might not have been the issue after all. As before, the Ps4 controller will light up, but won't respond.
From what I've read online, this Belkin cable has passed proper USB-C certifications, too.
EDIT - I tried a wired Xbox 360 controller, it works.
Still it's a bit of an inconvenience. The cord for the 360 controller is way too long. I specifically bought the Ps4 controller because I had a GCM10 controller mount from Sony. It holds the Axon 7 perfectly.
Also tried an Xbox One. As a previous user said, the phone simply shuts off when trying this.

Then i use the Axon c adapter on my PC with USB C but same here, dont recognizes any stick.
Is the Axon C adapter only for charge? But i wonder that when i used the adapter with normal micro usb cable on pc, the phone was detected.
Any solution why otg want work on phone?

If people still want to use a Ps4 controller, you can try the Sixaxis Controller app on the app store. It costs $2.99. it connects the Dualshock 4 via BT, but there's no noticeable latency. I've been using it the past few days. One other good thing about this is that you can also charge the phone while using this method.
Does Samsung have a USB-C Dock similar to the one attached, or any recommendations?
Dex. It will be launching with the phone for $150
You can pick up plenty of generic usb-c docks. Not sure if they will do the same thing, but I'm thinking there will be plenty of knockoffs
Is there a third party dock with gigabit ethernet, hdmi, a couple of usb and power pass through? Do all usb c docks work with s8 e.g. the ones for macbook or dell? Thanks
