Of course it does!
Yes, tested it the same day I bought it
awesome! im thinking of replacing my tab S with this one. more pocketable and with updated specs. except for the screen resolution, but who cares
Yes it is, but there is a problem witch that the device restart each time disconnect the external flash to set default location to internal storage.
I tried the external WiFi adapter from tp-link with Mate 8 but nothing happened. Wondering if any one has tried a wifi adapter with Mate 8 using an OTG cable/connector?
Yep, it does, but it took me 2 different OTG connector/adapters to find one that worked.

So was that some special OTG connector or what? Could you please explain a little bit?

I've searched everywhere online and i'm getting conflicting results, so I was wondering if anyone who has one can confirm if the idol 3 5.5" has USB Host or On-The-Go (OTG) capabilities. Thank you very much.
Yes!
I'll confirm 100% I have used the following SUCCESSFULLY:
- 3 port OTG cable with TWO USB thumb drives plugged in, one USB3 64GB and one USB2 8GB
- 1 port OTG cable with ONE USB super nintendo controller
- 1 port OTG cable with generic USB 2.0 SDR receiver for Radio tuning (scanner capabilities confirmed)
I hope this helps!
I think every phone with kernel version 3 and up has OTG support... Correct me if I'm wrong

Mmmh software talking, I do think so. But hardware talking, it's not always the case. My current phone as kernel 3.4.67 which can theorically support OTG but hardware is not compatible, so I can't use OTG at all :/
Awesome! Thanks!

Usually, phone mounts the USB storage automatically and display a pop-up window.
If not, Go to Settings > Storage > Mount USB Storage
I tried otg also, in 9 of 10 cases, phone reject usb, in one case connections was achieved, and i can copy files from usb. But, even in that case, after some time, connection brakes. Annoying. This phone definitely support otg, but something doesnt work well.

I have plug a usb stick, keyboard, mouse and a generical gamepad. Everything working except gamepad, it didn't recognised.
I've been looking around for an OTG cable that will work with my Mi 4c and haven't got any guarantees from any I've viewed that it will work with Mi 4c. I know for sure the 4c supports OTG. Does anyone know of a cable that works?
You need to have Type-C OTG converter, there are alot on Ali Express sold with reference to Nexus 5x & mi4c

I know, I was asking if anyone knew of one that was guaranteed to work with the 4C. A link perhaps?

Fascinating, that didn't seem to work with me. Though the adapter works for charging.

does it work with data sync on pc?( i havnt tried mine) but im pretty sure it wont work. and if it does it means the OTG cabel is not good.
by the way i checked this only with a mouse, not usb , might be a diffrent issu.

The OTG cable has been tested to work (Nexus device and Xperia) and the adapter works for data sync. I have only tried with USB though, so that might be the issue
Hello !
Problem is more that a lot of USB sticks/devices are not recognized. The adpaters that I have worked well, but only every third USB stick.

I ordered this one:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Elo..._2&btsid=c8d2641a-70b4-46fd-bad6-ec0e0eede4ed
works perfectly. It arrived today after about 3 weeks. Working perfectly with my NTFS formatted HP 8GB and Kingston 16GB Flash Drives. My HP USB flash drive is v220w and Kingston's is Data Traveler 2.0
you need to reformat with Allocation unit not more than 16kb if your flash drive isnt recognized. I keep mine at 8kb while formatting.
Nice
Slightly confused at the moment
Specs for this phone say USB 3.1 gen 1 but when connecting the phone up to my PC using a USB 3.1 cable and my USB 3 port my PC seems to think its still a USB 2.0 device and operates at that speed
Why am I not seeing USB 3.1?

Don't quote me on thins but I think all phones with usb type c still are using USB 2.0 standard in their phone to save cost I guess.

Truly interesting
Samsung wants us to buy only their products to get the best speed on their phones lol
That's what.....is called as...monopolist behaviour lol
If I remember rightly older Samsung phones had an extra USB mode to enable the faster speeds
The HTC has an option in the settings to enable it
Are Samsung just not giving us the feature in software?
zune70,
Did you manage to solve the problem? Im experiencing exactly the same issue and it drives me mad! Im thinking about replacing my phone now...
Thanks!
We can't solve this I am sure for now
Samsung support offers resetting the device. Did anybody try?

I really don't use my phone to transfer data through wired connection all that much so I didn't even bother looking into this
Bought an external storage device (Samsung T5 SDD). It does not detect on my OnePlus 6. I can plug it into my OnePlus 6T and laptop though and it works fine. Is there some sort of hardware or software issue between the 6 and the 6T that allows my 6T to see it but not the 6?
Both OnePlus phones are on stock ROM and rooted.
Maybe some setting you missed? Mine reads my memory just fine, from system and twrp
Did you turn on otg in settings?

I've just got a quick question for you, what speeds do you achieve on an SSD via otg? I'm wondering if I should get a flash drive for otg or an SSD

It's hit and miss to be honest. Not as fast as plugging into my PC.
OnePlus I believe is USB 2.0 so can't get much past 30MByte/sec. I can get 10x that over USB-C on my PC.
It's a Samsung T5 1TB SSD.
Is this adapter working for anyone. I can't seem to get it to work on my 7 Pro (I've tested it on other devices and can confirm that the adapter itself does work). Some Googling suggests it works on the 6T, so I would expect it to work on the 7 as well.
Enable otg in settings just search otg and it comes up.

The only option I see here is OTA storage; is this the one you're talking about? It also says it automatically turns off after 10 minutes of inactivity. Makes sense for storage, but seems annoying to have to activate this every time I want to use headphones.
I know. It doesnt but It works I think I have the same one as you

That's of cuz when I plug mine in it just works normal with or without otg on.
OnePlus is using a passive solution E.g the DAC is inside the phone and not the dongle so you need a dongle without a DAC inside.
Shame their is no Standard with Type C for Audio for OEM's to follow too much fragmentation in the cables/dongles..

Agreed. Another OP7 Pro user here trying to use the apple adapter and no luck. So @OcazPrime, this is working for you? Is this a hit and miss issue?
I ordered an Apple headphone jack adapter and I also had no luck. Can't get the adapter to work, with or without otg enabled.
