I bought a micro usb to female usb adapter and I've tried using Faux's kernal, Da_G's .42 kernel and Bullet 2.9 but plugging in the adapter with any usb does not seem to work.. is there any app I need or like how do I verify that it works?

Nope it should work right away. What are you trying to connect? Also, it's possible that it's a bad adapter.

YOU NEED AN ACTUAL OTG CABLE, NOT JUST AN ADAPTER.
Yes all caps, this has been stated time and time again, some people have had luck with the i9100 cables , some have not, you need a cable that works with either the t989 or Hercules, but, I have tested one that was made for the Xoom and it worked as well ...
Well I bought it online and I'm assuming it was made for OTG because what else could you possibly use one for? idk maybe there's another use for it but I can't think of one.
I read something online about shorting the 4 pin to 5 or something, could that work?
And I've tried connecting 3 different flash drives

Yes that could work, that is usually what a OTG cable does, but depends on the phone, the regular adapters are used, to use an Mini USB cable/charger on a Micro port , I use them all the time, because I have dozens of older chargers ....
Ok so I ripped open the adapter and the build quality was too good so I had to just rip the heads off lol so now I have a micro usb end with no wires connected and a female usb with no wires on it. Can I take 5 thin wires and connect the appropriate pins on the micro usb end to the corresponding pins on the female one?
If anyone has a guide to do this, it'd be appreciated

Thanks I tried working it for about half an hour but i couldn't get it to work. I'll just have to order one that is specifically for OTG.
Just as a reference for other noobs like me, the wire MUST be otg for it to work

Are there currently any adapters that allow charging while also using a 3.5mm jack?
The Google store has this, but nobody can give me any information on what "Coming Soon" means.
Any ideas?
Moshi has them available for purchase now, but only on their web site and not through google.
Hopefully that means google will have them soon, I really want one to leave in my car but i dont know if i can justify the 45$ price tag.

I was researching for such a solution. In the XDA U11 forum, I saw this and ordered it, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0R1F1M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. You plug the provided 3.5mm adapter into it. It would be a bad portable solution, but might be good enough for a desk. I will report back on whether it works for the Pixel 2.

Yes please report back. As I understand those adapters need to have a DAC builtin, but if you are using oem dongle then perhaps it can communicate to phone through this adapter

I dont know if you looked at the product, but what he is doing is using the included USB-C to 3.5mm adapter that came with the phone, so that DAC would be there.
Spoke with manufacturer, they said it will work 100%
But I already gave away my P2, I decided to keep P1 for now until 8.1 release at least. I was excited about camera but I prefer P1 images they look better to my eyes

It works completely! I tested a bunch of scenarios and am very happy. Only drawbacks so far are the thing is about half the size of the phone and the pigtail is about four inches.
Here is what works:
Rapid charging with a USB-C charger
Playing back music through the supplied USB-C audio adapter with and without charging attached
USB cable to an iPad (at least it connected and was recognized but I could not access pictures; I had the same issue with the data transfer adapter so I don't think this hub is at fault)
USB cable to a Canon camera
USB memory card reader
It would not read my micro SD card in the hub's slot initially but I got it to work.
Notes:
I did not test using the headset adapter with a wired microphone. I don't know if that is supported and don't have one.
You don't have to change the USB settings to get it to work. It just worked automatically.
The charging port is the one closest to the pigtail. The other port doesn't work for that purpose. The white lettering on silver case is hard to read so it is easy to miss which port is required for charging.
I didn't test it with HDMI because I cannot get the phone to work with the HDMI cable I purchased even when directly connected.
Here is the link again: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0R1F1M/
*edit: got the card reader to work.
Hopefully we'll have a portables position under $45!
In the meantime I bought a Bluetooth receiver so in the car I can charge and use BT for audio to the car.
You could also buy a Bluetooth receiver and plug your earhones in it.

So the 4 inch pigtail goes into the phone, the PD charging port is connected to your Pixel wall charger, and the 3.5 USB c adapter connects to the data only USB C port?
Did you try to connect a keyboard, mouse, or USB Ethernet adapter to the USB A side? I am curious if those device work on the Pixel 2.
Thanks for your info.

Correct; that is how I connected it. I tried an AnyKey security key that presents a USB keyboard interface and that worked as a keyboard. I don't have a mouse or ethernet adapter to try. I did also try a USB memory card adapter and that worked too.
I'm using this one, which is the same as the one above but cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075FHLTNM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It will charge the phone rapidly, play audio through the headphone dongle, read a micro SD card, read USB keys through the USB A ports, all at the same time, not bad for $14.
Moshi speaks!
FYI, this is response I got from Moshi rep, regarding the charge/play adapter.
While we do not know when exactly it will be available in Google's store, the same product is already available in our own web store - https://www.moshi.com/usb-c-digital-audio-adapter-with-charging
We are aware of that some users have been experiencing issues with this adapter, and we are already working together with Google on a solution for this. With that said, it appears that this only affects certain Pixel devices, as a clear majority of users (including our own product team and Google) haven't had any issues when testing multiple adapters on the Pixel devices in our office.
Although our team does not have a solution for the reported issues at this time, they are currently working with different software updates to see if this may resolve the issue. We are therefore not working on any hardware upgrades at the moment.
Hope this information helps.

Same here. I would love to find anything that will let me listen to my music with my wired headphones and charge my pixel 2xl at the same time. Google created this situation for us when they removed the jack. You would think they would at least have one solution. So if you could send me a new link or post it here, that'd be great!
Anyone know of a USB-C splitter that would allow me to charge and use a DAC simultaneously? I'm aware of the Moshi accessory but I'm not confident used a high quality DAC and I'd prefer to use my own. Something like this, but terminating in a USB-C M+F or F+F would be perfect, although I feel like it would violate type-C's spec.

The one in the link shown there (https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01N7TF8JV/ref=twister_B076B1S225?_encoding=UTF8&th=1) should do the job but it's quite large and pricey and has too many ports imo. Just two female USB c ports in a compact adapter would be fine.
Actually this simple idea (male USB c to dual female USB c) could have so many useful use cases.
- charging the phone and listen to music on 3.5mm headphones using the dongle in the box.
- charging the phone and listen to USB c headphones
- charge the phone and attach stuff like mice, keyboards, flash drives, or multiple at once
- charge the phone and chain-charge a second phone by USB pd
- charge two other phones
- attach two chargers to the phone (could be dangerous tho)
Etc...
I just found exactly what we're looking for! http://www.cusby.com/
The downside, they had an indigogo campain in 2015 and they've been silent ever since...
I submitted the idea to Belkin as they already have a lightning-equivalent (http://www.belkin.com/us/F8J198/p/P-F8J198/). Hopefully their team will like the idea and produce it.

Yup it works! And it's not that bulky actually. However, it is a bit hard to get and it takes some getting used to (USB c is not everything yet).

Like you I was searching for weeks as well, but I couldn't find anything close to this... I even sent an email to Belkin to request them to make a USB c splitter like they have for lighting and they'd send it to their "ideas team" but of course I haven't heard anything from it since
Hi everyone, I'm searching for a ligh weight hub to connect audio + data. Anyone has tryed the splitter shown in the first post?
I want to play videos, etc, from a external memory in the phone and connect USB-C headphones with external DAC at the same time. I've seen some USB-C hubs but they are big and expensive with a lot of ports, so I'm thinking on a USB 3.0 splitter and a USB 3 to USB-C adapter for headphones
I don't need charging support, but not sure if a hub without power will work??? Because it has to feed headphoned DAC and memory stick.
thanks

It's a little pricey but it works amazingly! It allows you to plug in multiple usb interfaces, allows for rapid charging while using headphones, and Ethernet with your phone if you are into that. The only ports I found that don't work with the Pixel 2 XL are the sd card ports and the hdmi (obviously). Everything else works correctly.
Only issue:
When you plug the device in the phone will tell you headphones are plugged in even if there not; the device is probably contacting with the dac on the hub. So you can't use the phones speakers while the hub is plugged in.
Other than that it works great!
I myself use this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01L8GCFNO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_79jbBb7N074HH
It's cheaper, hard to get, but it works okay!
I also got the aukey one and it works great. Hard to find now.
That's some insane connectivity there !
Nice !
Come to think of it, was that ethernet connectivity also possible with the microUSB 2.0 ports ?

Hi All,
I have a Google Pixel 2, and when I am listening music, it CAN NOT Charge!
Can you guys recommend a slitter that you have used that you like to me？
First, welcome to the forums. Second, there's already a long thread with recommendations:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/accessories/listening-to-headphones-charging-t3687464
Third, have you considered cheap Bluetooth headphones? Or even just take a break from listening and top off your phone by charging for 30-60 minutes? You'll get to 60-80% battery I'm that amount of time. Just saying.

Oh dual USB C is what you're asking for. The thread I linked for was to split to USB C and 3.5mm. Well USB C headphones are rare and really don't provide any improvements over 3.5mm headphones.

Because you're too new to the forums. It's too prevent spam accounts. I think you can post links when you hit 10 posts.
Question for you is what USB C headphones are you even considering? All the best ones are either 3.5mm or Bluetooth.

Look at my first post you need both things it's a USB hub with USB c in for charging and 3 USB 3.0a you then turn one of the 3.0a in to a USB c and plug the USB c audio dongle in that came with the phone.
Also lol you don't want a slitter for your pixel 2 lol maybe for your inability to peace together information
