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."
Thanks a lot
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.

Can you post a link to what your using for a hub?
Hub here works great:

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.

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.
I want to connect my nexus 5x with laptop for file/data transfer as well as USB tethering . My laptop only has USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports so can you guys recommend proper USB type to USB or micro USB 2.0/3.0 adaptor/cables. I want to make sure to buy the right cables/adaptor
which one is good?

ok thank you. I was curious because i heard that if you use wrong cable it might damage phone because of difference in current flows. If we used type c to USB adopter and charge it visa usb cable then i assume it will charge it with normal speed? or still rapid charge?

That cable has the proper resistor configuration to indicate legacy source device so it should be fine (just look for 56k resistor)
Anytime you have a conversion from USB A to C the cable is supposed to be configured in such a way to tell the device being charged to fall back to USB charging rates (.5A to 1.5A). If that 56K resistor was substituted with a different resistor like in earlier designs, the device being charged might think the source device can handle more and will pull more current than available. This could damage your USB port in your example. However since the proper resistor is in place, the 5x will limit the current draw to what USB A can do and your USB A port should be ok.

Nexus 5x is USB 2.0 type C. There is a difference between cable interface and cable speed. Cable speed is designed as 1.0, 2.0 3.0 etc. Cable interface is designed by letters - A, B, C. Type A refers to the standard USB outlet found on a computer, while type C refers to the connector that plugs into the Nexus 5X. You can have a type c cable at either 2.0 or 3.0 speeds.

Not sure why they don't show up for you.
Maybe you need to enable developer options and USB debugging. I've had those enabled from the beginning so I wouldn't know if they have any affect on USB options.
This is what you should be seeing, the USB notification, then the USB notification options once you tap on the notification.

Is there any way to charge fast with samsung fast charging cable as i do see it say slow charging on NEXUS 5X when connect with PC...

I was a bit surprised to find out that the Pixel 2 doesn't come with a transfer cable, and the only adapter is USB-C to USB-A. Luckily I still had mine from the original Pixel XL, but it was odd that Google didn't include one. Just a heads up for those who haven't received there's yet
That adapter allows you to use your old charging cable to transfer. Adapter into the Pixel 2, old charging cable into adapter and into old phone

I was surprised as well to see no USB-C to USB-A cable included. I also used mine from my original Pixel XL, but Google's cables are of such high quality that I would have loved to have another.

Correct, but this post isn't really about the adapter. It's about Google including one less cable versus last year. The original Pixels included the adapter, a USB-C to USB-C cable, and a USB-C to USB-A cable. The USB-C to USB-A cable is not included with the new Pixels.
And like the new Pixels, some phones these days only come with a USB-C to USB-C cable. The included adapter doesn't help in that situation. Very few devices fall into that scenario, but it still could happen.
The original came with the adapter too? I don't remember that

It did indeed. I've used it frequently for USB OTG.
FYI, you cannot use a normal USB-A cable and the C-to-A adapter and connect your Pixel to a PC. It will not allow you to charge or connect to transfer files.
Really sucks, because I used this at work a lot with my original Pixel XL. Something changed with the new hardware and it prevents you from doing it. Luckily, I also have the original C to A cable that came with my XL.
Definitely a bummer for someone going from iPhone to Pixel 2. Now I have zero cables I can use to charge my new phone in my car. I left Apple because I was tired of being forced to buy extra things to do basic stuff so a little irked that I need to buy a special connector for car charging. Anyone have recommendations on a good cable that will actually work for both charging and data transfer?
They replaced it with the headphone cable.

There are heaps of good USB C to USB A cables out there. If you need one you can buy the google one from their store. Would have been nice to get one in the box, but I still have 3 lying around that I've used for previous type C phones.

No USB A-C cable supports 3A charging unless it is out of spec. Google's A-C cable does not support 18W charging.

Do not use a 3A legacy cable to charge your phone, or you may risk damaging something.

I received my phone yesterday and found this to be very annoying. I have a few questions:
-Is the USB-C on this phone 3.0 or 3.1 spec or just 2.0? I just assumed all these new phones had 3.0+ speed
-According to google store, the cable that comes with this phone is 2.0 spec ($20 effin dollars?). Is there a 3.0 spec cable that will work?
-Are there any third party cables out there that will fast charge and have 3.0+ spec? (of course 3.0 is pointless if the phone itself maxes out at 2.0)

Sometimes I'd charge my old Oneplus on a slow charge via the laptop or even XBOX but since getting the Pixel 6 Pro that shows as connected but not charging, is this normal for Pixels?
BTW it does charge via laptop if I use USB c to USB c so even my portable battery charger is now useless as that doesn't have C
I've had no problems charging from my desktop PC's USB-C port, or from my couch's USB-A ports (I have a USB-A -> USB-C cable plugged into it). I haven't tried from my old Xbox One. Do you have other USB-A cables to try?
I sometimes.charge my pixel with my old one plus charger USB to USB c and even though it's a 50w charger ,it only slow charges the pixel ,not a bad thing when in no rush to use it .

Must be the case that those USB-A ports just don't put out enough amperage, then. I know in Windows we used to be able to see the amperage on each particular USB port (while in use) in Device Manager, but I can't remember if we still can. If we can, you can compare the USB-C numbers to the USB-A, and see if there's any amperage at all for the USB-A. You can compare it to using the same USB-A port for something else as a test, as well.
No they do because I used to charge my Oneplus 8 Pro before moving to the Pixel doing this

I get your point, but the USB ports putting out enough amperage to charge your OnePlus 8 Pro doesn't mean it's putting enough amperage out to charge your Pixel. Obviously, there's some difference somewhere and it's worth looking into even if it's just to eliminate it as a possibility. Some of us others have charged perfectly fine with USB-A -> USB-C cables from computers or even my dumb couch that has a USB-A port - and neither is definitely fast-charging, which I don't want anyway.

I have tried all the back USB-A ports and the 2 in the front same results.
I wonder if this PCI-E Card can help me use my fasboot commands on my computer or is just a faster transfers i get with it?

Anything by Anker. Edit: Be aware that last I looked, they also sell USB 2.0 USB-A<->USB-C cables, so I just want to give you a heads up to look out for that and I'm sure you'd want to only buy a USB 3.0 USB-A<->USB-C cable.
Also, I don't know if the recommendation is still the same, but it was always advised in the old days to prefer USB ports that are built into the motherboard - sometimes even more specifically on the back of the motherboard (for desktops). I know this doesn't help you, but just "let the buyer beware" that using an add-on USB-C card could also cause problems.

I have tried USB-A to USB-C cable on my computer but the only thing that works with the cable is windows file transfers, in fastboot it just never connects to the device, i have used my GFs PC that has a native USB-C port in the front to do my fastboot commands and it works just fine.
My PC dont have USB-C and my motherboard is this : Asus Tuf Z390 Plus Gaming Wifi
The case is a Be Quiet : PURE BASE 500 Black
I have tried all the back USB-A ports and the 2 in the front same results.
I wonder if this PCI-E Card can help me use my fasboot commands on my computer or is just a faster transfers i get with it?
ST Lab PCIe 3.0 USB3.1 2-Port (Type-C)

Do you have the latest USB drivers installed?
And like others have said, try different cables. Can't tell you how many times I've seen this problem solved just by using different cables.
Get the Google USB Driver | Android Studio | Android Developers
The Google USB Driver is required to perform adb debugging on Windows with Google devices.

Its not your hardware, its your operating system. Try a better one, i.e. Linux.

I highly recommend Anker cables like this: USB Type C Cable, Anker PowerLine+ USB C to USB 3.0 Cable (6ft), High Durability, for Samsung Galaxy Note 8, S8, S8+, S9, S10, Sony XZ, LG V20 G5 G6, HTC 10, Xiaomi 5 and More.
Double-check Anker's site too in case they have a better sale price right now.
