Hi everyone, quick word to all that these are working with the SGSII. No need to wait until Samsung release them in 1-2 months, and at 6x the price!
Clove Blog will have my video proof up in a couple of hours.
Only enough power to supply pendrives, but drives with their own power supplies, or drives connected to the phone via an externally powered HUB, will work.
Read speeds are fast enough to watch 1080p content.
Unfortunately USB keyboard/mouse, and two different USB gamepads were a fail.
If only I knew a place I could post this where there might be devs around who could read it and make USB gamepad support happen...

Thanks mate, just bought it...
No worries!
Did you see the official ones are priced to sell at like 12pounds!
can it work with a memory card reader?
If the card reader doesn't draw too much power. I tried with one and it didn't work, but if I plug it into my externally powered USB hub then it works fine.
Updated first post with the requisite video proof.
Do you have a link for that dell keyboard & mouse you used in the video?.. it looks great
The Dell Mouse is freely available, I got mine for a song on Ebay.
The keyboard is awesome, but sadly no longer made. Its a Dell-branded 'iGo Stowaway Ultraslim" keyboard, has a truly great hinge mechanism and folds down to next to nothing. You may be able to find it somewhere, but last time I checked I couldn't find any. There are lots of cheap HID profile BT keyboards out there, check my thread in the Galaxy S forums - lots of people confirmed various ones working.
Amazing! excellent video and info
it was nice to also demo the BT keyboard & mouse
thanks
OP, thank you!
Are you rooted? Anything special needed to do the bluetooth? Anything special other than the adapter cable needed for the USB memory stick?
@OP = great post and very informative video

Yep, its Rooted, but that was only for app restoration. There are no mods or hacks applied, everything you're seeing is stock functionality.
would this work on a galaxy s 1? if anyone knows

or desire ;p
I don't think either the Desire or the Galaxy S will do USB OTG (although the Desire may have it baked into a custom ROM, because I know it was enabled in the Nexus 1 with a mod, I don't know enough about Desire custom ROMs to know).
The original Galaxy S does support bluetooth keyboard and mouse though (I have a demo of that in my youtube channel also).
Quick ?
Can you use the BT keyboard without the virtual one popping up?
Hope they release the USB on the go cable ASAP!!!. Thank you very much for the video, it made me get more ansious to get one of this cables and be able to connect my external hard drive full of MKV files.

Great news....
I ordered this MHL cable that specifically says it's made just for S3 12 days ago but hasn't turned up, so I emailed the seller asking why it hasn't turned up yet and got this reply:
we have just realised these cables are not compatible with the s3,
would you like to wait till the correct cable comes in or shall we refund
your money\?
kind regards
sunny savers.
And they didn't even try to explain why I didnt receive it even though I got email delivery confirmation 12 days ago.

Thanks for warning users.
Personally, I don't think it is that vendors fault. Samsung said that the SGS3 had MHL. There have been more then 100 devices with MHL so far and they have all been compatible with each other.
There was no way for the vendor of that MHL cable (or anyone else) to know that the SGS3's MHL port is not really an MHL port.

Yeah but it looks like the seller knew that before I even put the order in yet still took payment and confirmed delivery, because after 11 days I asked them to confirm it had been sent and they just said they found out it isn't compatible and it wasn't until I emailed them that they informed me of this, and you know maybe it just got lost in the post but I really think it's more than that.
Lisa from mobiletechreview did a smackdown between the HTC 10 and Samsung S7. In the video review she mentioned she was able to use the Microsoft Lumia (Continuum) Dock to power peripherals, connect HDMI to mirror the screen, and charge the device. This is pretty awesome and surprised many aren't talking about it. The HTC 10 may be the closest android fans get to a true desktop replacement experience (with the dock). If only android allowed running full Chrome, HTC 10 with the dock could be a chromebook/desktop replacement.
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/phones/HTC-10.htm
I will have to test when I get my 10! I have the 950xl currently and have the dock for it. It would be awesome if I could still use it! Is there any software needed installed on the 10 to run it?
This will get a lot more exciting with Android N and multitasking/free moving windows.
Any chance we'll e able to do something with RemixOS in order to get a continuum thing going?

But give me a mobile desktop and not just a screen mirror, please!
its great to see that the microsoft display dock works with the 10. but is there not a cheaper (and wired) solution than this? id really only be looking to use the HDMI screen mirroring as well as charging the device simultaneously. i havent been able to find anything though.
if this really is the only solution then the $100 will be well spent, but id still prefer something a bit cheaper.

Do you mean something like this:

I've picked up a generic USB-C to HDMI adaptor which I plan to test as soon as my 10 arrives. IF that works, I may take the plunge on a hub.

MS dock can only do 1080p. The HooToo dock can do 4K, and HTC 10 has the ability to do 4K. I would love to see my 4K videos recorded in HTC 10 straight on my 4K TV instead of doing it over wifi through cast.
That alone is 20$ worth for me. So, I would pay 120$ if HooToo works with HTC 10...

That can work but won't simultaneously charge the phone
Guys, any update on the dock? I see I'm not the only person on the planet who already started to think how to utilise fully that usb-c port. Since the review the OP posted suggests that the docking station work, that would mean others should too (most of them at least). Also there are already reports that usb-c to hdmi simple adapters work so I guess that's settled. The only thing I need and would love to is usb-c to hdmi WITH charging, but from what I can tell there is nothing like that on the web. Only usb-c to hdmi without charging. However, those hubs look pretty interesting and that's why I'm coming here as some of you mentioned they were planning to order a hub and check it out. If any of you got it already can you tell me if the charging of the phone works with the hub?
If so, I'm looking into this:
http://www.unitek-products.com/en/product_detail.php?id=430
I already have couple things from Unitek, still working till this day and I know they are solid company.
If anybody's interested I wrote a question to the guys from mobiletech and here is Lisas response:
Hi Lucas,
The Lumia dock did indeed charge the phone. USB-C charging has very exacting specifications, and I can’t say whether Unitek’s would .
best,
Lisa
Click to expand...

So she confirmed that the Lumia dock did indeed charge the phone which is great, because it looks most likely that most of those hubs should act very alike. I will probably orded the Unitek hub over the weekend.
Im also very interested in mirroring HTC 10 through theese kind of hubs. The possibility to use it as a "computer" with simultaneous charging, monitor, keyboard and mouse is all I'm looking for. From what I heard it's quite demanding, let's just hope HTC 10 got what it takes to deliver flawless experience!
Just ordered the Unitek hub. Should be at my place sometime during the middle of this week. I'll let you know how it turned out.
Anyone considered one of these? supposedly a drop in replacement on the lumia so using that as a benchmark for compatibility.
Been trying to get the damn OTG thing to work, but no luck. After a lot of searching around XDA forums, among other places, came to the realisation that only the official OnePlus MicroUSB to Type-C adapter supports OTG. Too bad they don't sell them anymore and I can't find any elsewhere online.
They do sell a newer version for the OP3 on their online store and I was wondering if that would work too. I ask because I've already got a thousand cables and adapters I've tried that didn't work, so I don't wanna drop any more cash on this.
Tried to contact OP support and they didn't really seem to understand what I wanted and just said it would work "because it's USB Type-C". Yeah, so were all the other damn cables I bought.
TL;DR: Would a OnePlus 3 USB Type-C OTG adapter work for OnePlus 2?
UPDATE: Original Xiaomi USB Type-C to Micro USB Adapter works.

Hi!
My bro had a 1+2, he bought an USB cable Type-C OTH from OnePlus store... he had tried to connect an USB several times, but it doesn't work :'(
OK awesome, so basically stay the f*** away from OP in the future is the lesson here.
Hi there, in my fourth purchase of OTG have purchased a fully compatabile one for my OP2. I am finally able to connect with out any issues. I have purchased it from Indian ebay for ₹68/- only. But works like a champ. The model or company name is MX in caps written on the OTG which is black in colour.
usb otg
When i bought my OnePlus 2 i purchased the microusb otg cable and the microusb to type c adapter and have no issues with it working. it could be a a possible compatibility issue or maybe the rom you're on doesn't support otg.
Hello. I'm from India too. I'm not finding any product branded as MX. I would really appreciate if you can share the link form where you bought it.
Thanks in advance

I use this with no issue as I can use any MicroUSB otg adapters with it and can charge the phone via MicroUSB cables in a pinch
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Adapter-Converts-Resistor-ChromeBook/dp/B01AHKYIRS
I know its still early in the release of the phone but i need an Ethernet adapter for the Pixel 3. My Anker brand (linked below) does not seem to work, however it did work on the Nexus 5x, and OG Pixel. Let me know if you guys found one that works.
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Aluminum-1-Gigabit-Compatible-ChromeBook/dp/B00ZZ6NW5E
I have a hunch that they may have removed support for this as my USB-C Ethernet dongle does not work on my 3 either. It worked on the 2 XL.
I'll have to try my luck with a USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter -> USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter.
Update: It didn't work. Tried 3 adapters overall.
Looks like the hardware changed or Google changed something in software to block it.
I just tried the USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter that came in the box as well as a StarTech USB 3.0 to ethernet adapter and my Pixel 3 XL recognized it and started using ethernet. Dunno what u guys are talking about.

Saw your reply to me in a Disqus thread. It seems to vary per adapter.
All the adapters that I previously owned worked on my 2 XL but do not work on my 3. I bought the one you mentioned and while the 3 gains an ethernet connection, it is limited to USB 2.0 speeds for some reason.
I need it to work at gigabit speeds for it to work for my application at work.
If anyone can confirm an adapter that runs at a gigbit on the Pixel 3, I'd appreciate it! :highfive:

I'll try to test mine with moving a huge file between my laptop and the Pixel 3, both connected to the Gigabit modem.

I have tried several different adapters now. Still can't convince the Pixel 3 to operate at gigabit speed.
Reached out to Google for info, got nothing useful:
Kate W4:48 PM
I understand that you have a query related to the internet connection with Pixel 3 device.
Kris Yadao4:48 PM
Yes
Kate W4:49 PM
I see that you are using USB cables to connect internet, is that correct?

Kris Yadao4:52 PM
I have been using a Pixel 2 XL for the past year for testing gigabit connections at work. These adapters have worked with that model of Pixel just fine
Kate W4:52 PM
Okay.
Kate W4:53 PM
Kris, I am a Pixel 3 Specialist and will be able to help you with any query related to the device or any feature on the device. Since you are referring to a third party cable or adapter, my scope of support is limited here.
Kris Yadao4:53 PM
I understand that it is a bit of an obscure use case. The Pixel 2 XL has been the only phone I've found where this works.
Kate W4:53 PM
Okay.
Kris Yadao4:54 PM
Was hoping the Pixel 3 would retain this functionality but it seems like it may be gone. Was just hoping to find more info about how this works inside of Android, but I understand if it's not well documented.
Kate W4:55 PM
Kris, as you are using third party cables and adapters, we do not suggest them because they can damage the device.
Kate W4:56 PM
I would have definitely helped you with the information if the issue is with the device or it's feature. Let me check for more information on this.
Kate W4:58 PM
I have checked for the information and it seems that we do not support such functionality on the device.
Kate W4:58 PM
I regret any inconvenience.
Kate W4:59 PM
You can send a feedback on this feature from the settings of the device.
Kate W4:59 PM
Our Engineering team will receive your feedback and might work on the feature if there are more feature requests for the same.
Kate W5:00 PM
Kris, I will also submit a feedback for you.
Kate W5:00 PM
Would there be anything else I may help you with today?
Kris Yadao5:00 PM
I understand Google's stance on accessories. There is no first party option from Google for Ethernet connection and Ethernet seems to be supported in the Android OS as it does recognize when it is connected. I would appreciate if you could pass that feedback along.
Kris Yadao5:01 PM
Thanks for your info. That's all the help I need.
Kate W5:01 PM
I will surely let my team know about this feature.

When you connect the Pixel 3 via ethernet, does it work only for the basic apps, or are all apps able to detect and utilize the ethernet connection?
I'm considering getting a Pixel 3 but I want to know a little more about its ethernet compatibility. Thanks in advance.
This was an important feature to me, so I tested several adapters. I think it depends on the chipset. Every adapter I tried with the AX88179 chipset worked so far. mcbeat257 reported that the StarTech USB 3 adapter worked, and this is also AX88179.
matteventu reported a TP-Link UE300 working, which is the RTL8153 chipset. I haven't tested one of those, but it's a popular chipset and might also work reliably.
The nicest of the ones I used successfully was this one from Plugable, which goes straight to USB-C without any extra adapter. (I am unable to post the link directly, so you will have to reassemble it.) www amazon com /gp/product/B011DDXGVC/
I also ran a speed test, and I got 295 Mbps download, 202 Mbps upload, 6ms ping. The same ethernet adapter plugged into a laptop gave gigabit performance and 1ms ping, so the speed limitation here appears to be the Pixel 3.
One thing I could not figure out how to get working is calling over ethernet. Calling over wifi works, but it does not seem to kick in for ethernet. If anyone has insight on how to do this, I would love to hear it.
I can also confirm the Pixel 3 XL works with the TRENDnet TU3-ETG with a Type A Female to Type C Male adapter my Pixel came with, it has the same AX88179 Chip set.
However I would like to see USB tethering to work through the adapter so I can provide a wired Ethernet WAN connection from my phone to a Computer or Router.
