I need a new retractable charger, any advice?

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!!

Micro USB to portable amp/DAC device issue with Samsung phones

So I got the S7, and I also own a premium pair of headphones and a portable amp/DAC as well. My headphones are the AKG K553 Pro, and my amp/DAC is the Oppo HA-2. When I connect an OTG micro USB to micro USB (both sides male) cable to the S7 and my HA-2, ALL it does is start charging my HA-2, which it's not even supposed to do. No music gets sent to it.
The ONLY way to get it to work is to use a regular USB to micro USB cable........ put the included S7 USB to Micro USB adapter (white) on the USB side and plug ONLY that side into the phone. It does send music via USB this way, but it still is charging the HA-2 when it's not supposed to, and also the adapter included with the S7 sucks because it doesn't lock in well so comes out very easily.
There has to be a setting or something I can do to change it so the 1st cable I used (micro to micro) actually works but doesn't charge the HA-2. If anyone knows, let me know. Or else I won't be keeping this phone for very long it seems.
Thanks!

Do OTG cables work?

I've got an existing OTG cable with micro USB. Does that work for things like thumb drives and mice using the adapter?
If not, would this work?

thanks..
It comes with a USB-C to USB-A adapter in the box. You should be able to plug your thumb drive or mouse into that.

I don't know why they would get rid of something as old as OTG support so I'm assuming that yes it will work.
yes otg works and the samsung smart switch lets you plug one phone into the other and transfer data
Just reading through the AT&T manual: it states clearly that OTG will not work through the supplied USB connector (p9). Nor can you use it to charge the Note 7 from a computer (p12).
With built-in battery too - hope the Note 7 isn't just another pretty fetish.

Well all of the above work on my T-Mobile variant.
On my t-mobile Note 7, I cannot get my Dragonfly Red to work via USB OTG.

It is a DAC/Preamp. So you use the included microUSB to USB C adapter for your OTG cable?
Yup

idk but all my jump drives work just fine, same as my s7 edge.
just plug them into the usb c otg and tranfer files via samsung file app
Ok. I just realized that there is an otg usb to usb c adapter in the box. That one actually works just fine with my external dac.

I can't get my Oppo HA-2 DAC to work at all. I tried using the included adapters but nothing. I went and bought a USB - USB C cable and that also didn't work. The only way I have been able to get audio is to use a standard charging cable (USB - MicroUSB) and put the USB C adapter on the MicroUSB end. However this charges the Oppo from the Note 7 and I can't disable that. Will burn through the battery in no time! Not sure what else to try at this stage
+1 I have successfully used a SanDisk 8gb flash drive with an aftermarket Rankle usb adapter. I have an AT&T Note 7.
Cheers

I use the included USB-USB C adapter with a USB -USB Mini(?) and my Fiio Alpen. As you mentioned, the Note7 charges the DAC. This also happened with my Note4. You should be able to use a wireless charging pad to charge the Note7 at the same time. That's what I did when I was transferring files between phones. It's transportable but not very mobile.
My little micro usb fan does NOT work with the included usb 3 to microusb connector. So, i'm gonna assume OTG doesnt work as it used to.

USB C to USB 2.0 adapter

Will need a USB C to USB 2.0 adapter, otherwise all my portable battery charger or even not able to transfer picture or music from PC
anyone recommend?
Whether Android have certified cable issue? or as any USB cable that can connect the phone to computer will be fine?
thx
Buy decent brand (eg anker, aukey etc). They also do c-a converter plugs.
