So today I was looking around at my USB accessories and I came across my USB 3.0 hdd. It has a USB 3.0 micro female adapter and cord but then I realised that the USB 2.0 micro cable looked like it would fit so I disconnected the hdd from power and everything, unplugged the USB micro cord and checked. To my surprise it fit but there was still the problem of extra pins next to it not connected. To make a long story short I was wondering that if I hooked everything up would I encounter driver issues or drive failures or would it just flat out not work?
Sent from that thing over there

If I am to get a Galaxy S Phone - or any new phone for that matter - they require Micro USB. I have a bunch of Mini USB accessories. But for some reason, I am having trouble finding Micro USB products. Where can I find some good ones?
Questions include:
Mainly, where should I look to find a good micro USB to USB, for my car?
I occasionally plug my Touch Pro into my TV with my soon to be useless Mini USB to AV Out. What do I do now? I have seen some Headphone To AV Out, do they work?
Micro USB to HDMI? Is that supported across most phones?
What kind of charger does the phone (or most phones) come with? Is it one of those AC Adapters, with the USB plug plugging into the AC Adapter? But the USB Cord is like, one foot? Will I need a regular cable too?
Questions, questions!! So many!!
Hi
I have a problem with my new S5.
For my S3 i created a USB OTG+Charge cable. For this cable type a 68k resistor is soldered between the sense and GND pins of the USB port.
this cable is not recognized by the S5. When I keep the resistor open the charger is recognized.
When I short the resistor the USB harddisk is recognized.
I tried a resistor E6 decade to test variuos values. When I use 100k the cable is recognized as "power sharing cable".
Is anybody here using a USB OTG + Charge cable?
Where is the cable detection definied? Can I change it?
Best regards,
any progress ?
For my new S5 I have ordered one CY U2-166 cable.
Sellers listings talking about compatibility up to S4, and read even one user feedback that this worked for him.
When my cable arrives (eBay) I will test it, and if it works with S5, then I will post actual measurements regarding cable construction.

You are welcome, but be aware that this cable comes with dual micro USB, plus one Female USB A for regular connectivity and powering external HDD.
Female USB A this is output.
Input power comes from your charger cable ( Mini USB connector).
Here are my experiences with OTG CY U2-166 cable.
1) My Galaxy S5 this is fully capable to deliver enough electrical power for USB stick, or even my external USB 2.0 HDD (WD 160GB)
2) External USB HDD this causing a minimum of 220mA of consumption up to 430mA at extreme activity.
3) When female micro USB this is also powered by external source (charging block), this become right away the main DC power source for the external HDD.
4) If incoming DC power from female micro USB this no more active? Then Galaxy S5 takes over right away by delivering power by it self.
In summary this additional female micro USB, this works in parallel with DC output of the phone.
Personally I am very happy from those results from a cable worth less than 2$.
But what caused me mixed feelings this is Android it self, this does not recognize several partitions over a single hard disk, even if them are formatted at 32GB/Fat 32.
Hi!
i am trying to figure out if there might be a way to solder a USB hub to the jeyboard dock. I can plug it into the existing USB port but, honestly, it's not so fun.
The SD slot is connected to the USB bus, actually it's on the internal hub. Has anybody ever tried to unsolder it and solder an USB hub?
I've been looking for a otg stick that is as physically small as possible, but most are pretty "big" due to having a USB A male on the other end (or as flipover). Are there any OTG sticks that are USB A-less?
Closest thing I've seen to that is Meenova's MicroSD card reader. It only has a micro-USB plug but it comes with an adapter for full-size USB.
Yes, I checked settings->extra->OTG-Storage
and there is also a notification tile, which does the same.
BUT: OTG is not working tried this with several adapters, but not the original!
Works fine with me.
Been using it to transfer data over from the 5T.
I used f.e. an adapter usb c to micro usb and than an usb stick with micro usb (not working)
I used also an adapter usb c to micro usb, a micro usb org cable to usb 3.0 and than a usb 3.0 stick (same result)
On my old op3 it helped if you first put the USB drive in the adapter before you insert the adapter in the phone, if adapter (even the original one) was put in first it would not recognize a USB drive.. Hope it helps
Your idea didn't helped.
Normally the LEDs should blink, but nothing happens...
Just to be shure: is original otg adapter is not the only way, it should work with every otg-cable...(?)
Did you check OTG in settings/advanced? It's working great for me and I have an 1€ OTG adapter from China.
Works here great. It works if its enabled before or after inserting. I'm using it with the USB C Yubikey. Only annoyance is you have to turn it on every 15 minutes but I believe there is a Magisk module that can fix this.
I think, I solved it:
The first adapter: usb c to micro USB has no OTG support: It was the last sentence in the fine print:
" USB On-The-Go wird nicht unterstützt"
Hi guys, I got a usb 3.0 I used to use on my Samsung, now I got an adaptor for my op6, I have an issue, everything works great, but the videos are laggy, what could this be any ideas, adaptor fault, or the usb is too slow?
