I see there may be a couple of USB-C ethernet adapters on Amazon... and at least 1 review seems to say the fancy Anker one with 3 micro-LEDs for status works. On sale at $16, I was about to jump, but realized it leaves me with no power. Has anyone tried one of these USB-C to ethernet + power + [maybe somethign else] break out boxes that isn't closing in on $100 and gotten it to work? Most seem to come with at least one other port such as HDMI, which would be interesting if it worked but ignorable at the right price if it didn't.
1 comment says this works: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Aluminum-1-Gigabit-Compatible-ChromeBook/dp/B00ZZ6NW5E
https://www.amazon.com/LC-dolida-Adapter-Ethernet-Delivery-Charging/dp/B0794WTTLS .. if it works with the Pixel 2!... would be great to add charging. But somehow I doubt it works with the phone. Surely someone has tried this out there!
Thanks!
I do have an anker usb c hub with USB power delivery that works and gives me more usb c ports. Apart from that I also have a USB c to ethernet adapter from AliExpress and when I put that one in the anker one the phone does charge and have ethernet working

Micro USB accessories.-
For OTG accessories, and some attachments such as cameras, the phone is the USB host.
'Conforming' USB-C to micro adapters (listing the '56k resistor' ) will not work. Tells the phone to take a charge, it is not host.
Look for adapters that are non conforming, better yet are 'OTG' compatible.
One is:

My micro USB thermal camera, 3d camera, and USB host cables work. There are other brands as well.

Problem with old HTC M8 Charger
At home I use the charger that came with the phone.
At the office, I was planning to use the HTC charger that came with my old M8, maybe not quite as fast.
But strangely enough, when I do that, the charge light turns on and off every couple of seconds, it wakes the phone, and it doesn't charge.
A Belkin 2.1A charger I had works fine though. Go figure.
I don't think the HTC 10 is compliant with USB-C Power Delivery (Such as the Nexus 6p) do deliver the rapid charging speeds of up to 3A via a USB-C charger and a USB-C to USB-C cable. I remember reading up about it of an article referencing Benson Leung (not the 1st one, but most recent one). He said the LG G5 is compliant with the Power Delivery achieving the 3A max input. But the HTC 10 only achieves 2A.
I can about confirm this because I have 2 USB-C wall chargers, one by Cheotech that gives me around 1600mah-1700mAh, and one by iClever, which gives me the same speeds. My RavPower Turbo Series Powerbank with the USB-C port and the max of 3A output gives me the same 1600-1700mAh speeds of input into the HTC 10 as well.
I've tested a Samsung adaptive fast charger from the s7 and s6 with the OEM cable and a ravpower A to C cable and it shows Rapid Charging when plugged in.

This adapter didnt worked with my HTC 10, it showed that video was conected but there was no transmition over to the TV or monitor, or am i doing something wrong? i mean i tried everything, and it didnt worked >.<, or maybe i got a defective unit? also, are you connecting into a 1080p, 2k or 4k TV/Monitor? maybe is that...
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.
Adaptor link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J2N0GB4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
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.

Thanks! Though it's USB type B. I need micro USB.
There was nothing said about what's going to be included besides the headphone adapter but I'm curious if the newer model will have the USB A to USB C adapter like last year's model.

Why those cables specifically?
according to this site, they list the contents of the box as:
The smartphone.
USB-C charger.
USB-C to 3.5mm earphone adapter.
User guide.
Power adapter.
edit: likely a copy paste from the official google site... scroll down almost to the bottom of the screen look for "whats in the box"
https://store.google.com/product/pixel_2_specs
also dont forget to checkout benson leung's reviews to see which cable/charger will charge your phone and not blow it up.. https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung
nathan k has a google spreadsheet.. check it out also

what you want in cables / charges / adapters that use usb c
is to be USB-IF Certified
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_...tronics&field-keywords=USB-IF+Certified+cable
in the market now there are not many options
and the anker were cheaper than belkin

so no cable
but according to google it only for transferring data from your old phone
but i think it is the same one with the first pixel
maybe someone will confirm this
Id really like to fine a nice usb-a to usb-c adapter as my MacBook only has usb-a ports and my pixel cable like everyone's is c to c.
Alternatively I'd like to also get a nice ubs-c to usb-a cable.
Lastly just for reference let's hear who has good usb-c to usb-c cables.
Not looking for cheap cables either, let's comprise a listing of only high quality products. Seems a waste to buy a near $1000 dollar phone only to plug it into a crap cable and accidentally fry it. I have no problem spending a little extra coin to ensure a quality product. I'm sure others can relate as well.

I too only buy Anker cables. They are very high quality. I've had the same cable that was linked but in 6' for over a year now and it works great. Some of the best cables, chargers and accessories I've ever bought. I also have an Anker BT speaker that works very well.
I have a few of their latest version. No problems yet.

Wanted to bring this topic back to life.. What about USB-C to USB-C 3.1? I can't find anything longer than 3 feet... at least by a reputable company like Anker.. Any input? My motherboard has USB-C 3.1 onboard and the 3' cable is just too short.. I can get one from Google.. $30

When in doubt, start with Monoprice and compare from there. That said, buying USB-C stuff is super confusing these days with USB 2.0, USB 3.0, USB 3.1 Gen1, USB 3.1 Gen2, and now this USB 3.2 stuff coming out (that rebrands USB 3.0 and 3.1 stuff to 3.2). All that said, see if maybe this is what you're looking for? The moment you start going to 3.1 instead of 2.0 or 3.0, you start getting some expensive and thick cables.
Speaking of Monoprice, I'm a big fan of this charger - 45W for $17 right now. I own 3.

Looks like that will do the trick! I just need one long enough to use with my computer. I prefer using the USB C port on my desktop ... I know regular USB-C to USB works fine.. Just my preference. Thanks! I always forget about Monoprice and their wonderful cable selections!
I'm looking for a charging dock/stand (wired or wireless) that will let me plug a mouse and keyboard into it to use for gaming. Anyone know of one and can share a link?

So if I understand this right your after a charging doc for your S20FE, that has USB passthrough to allow you to plug kb/mouse into that?
The Dex pad might do what I think your after -
- https://www.techradar.com/reviews/samsung-dex-pad
Or failing that, there seems to be a number of charging hubs on amazon -
Amazon.com : dex pad
Do you think something like this would work?
https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Charging-Ethernet-Compatible-Thunderbolt/dp/B07TVSLDND
Intended for MacBooks but I think it "should" do the job.
I don't think the charger itself is included, but you should be able to power it with a Samsung usb-c charger you already have. I'd recommend the 25 watt one they sell for $20 now.
I have one these coming soon...

not that the OP is still asking but I'll report back if the HDMI works allowing improved murdering of people with a wired controller.
just realised this doesn't have a power supply input.
I got this Baseus dock and althought the plastics feel kinda cheap, it gets the job done and have a great Dex experience.
