Hello,
does anyone know where can I purchase a USB Cable for my Galaxy S so that it could be detected by kies?
thanks.
The cable used is a standard Micro USB cable, nothing special.
Yes, any standard Micro USB cable work.
you can buy for less than $2 over Hong Kong site
Be careful, once I bought a couple of cheap cables for my SGS on eb.. and they resulted to be only good for charging (and the charge is really slow), no usb file transfer, no Odin,...
I use this one from dealextreme: http://goo.gl/qYLSz, "Genuine" Nokia CA-101. Works very well with well everything...

THIS IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.
I bought a cable for £2, thought it was dirt cheap.
but looks like Samsung restricts usage of other cables on its phones. It doesn't allow the phone to be detected as a MTP device? or in Kies.
I tried several different cables.
Never had any problems.
(original Samsung, Nokia, Moto, Nokia from.Dealextreme, cheap cables, Kindle,....)

I can't help but think this is blatantly false. I've even made my own micro-USB cable for my tests on battery charging and it still had zero problems.
The USB spec doesn't allow a device to discriminate on cables. If there was something different in the cable then it would affect the computer side as well.
Now on the other hand the USB connectors themselves are fragile as all heck. I've been through many failed cables over the years in both mini and micro USB cables. Chances are the cable itself is bad.
The cable which I bought was good I think. It was charging, and I could connect it into USB mode. But I couldnt connect it into MTP mode.
I don't think I have even used my Samsung cable that came with the phone, Im not even sure where it is now too LOL
I have a Nokia N900 too so I use that cable (Nokia CA-101) instead and everything works fine
Kies however is a completely different kettle of fish and has always been temperamental at the best of times, especially in Windows 7
Now I use Galnet MIUI Rom I no longer (thankfully) have to use Kies
anyone know where to get an official cable in the UK?
ahhhhh wow looks good!
Stop spamming dude?
I bought cheap usb cable from ebay.
date transfer is really slow and somethimes it give's not dedected error.
So it's importand to buy goed one.
I use my old cable from samsung i8510 now at work
I've bought 2 of these and they are working well.
I use them to stay permanently connected to my docking station in the 2 offices I'm working

Dash Micro G3 Type-C MicroSD Card Reader:
The Dash Micro is made using an aluminum casing that has a nice solid feel to it. It is compact enough to fit in an included silicon key chain so you won’t lose it while on the go. I’ve used this with my Nexus 6P since it was first released, and I haven’t had any issues with it fitting my cases so far. I primarily use my larger Speck Candyshell case on my Nexus 6P, and the Dash Micro fits perfectly without forcing in it. The microSD card slot is spring loaded so popping a card out is a breeze. You do need to use your finger nail to push it in, but that’s still better than physically pulling it out. Meenova claims this will read cards up to 200GB which I verified with my Sandisk 200GB microSD card that I have. They also said it will fit cases that are up to 3mm thick which is the large majority of them. I have no complaints with the solid build and overall feel of the card reader.
I like the included keychain/holder which is offered in other colors if you break yours. I haven’t seen any issues with my other G3 Micro that is on my keyring along with my Yubi key, and other small things. I have 2 of these card readers now, so I keep one in my car, and one at home. I have a dash camera in my car that uses microSD cards, so it’s nice to be able to replay the video on my phone so I don’t have to do it on the small screen of my dash camera. My Nexus 6P always recognizes the card read the first time and doesn’t try to charge it like some other accessories I’ve used in the past.

Multimeter:
Since the first issues with Type-C cables/adapters arose I have been using a multimeter to check all of my A-C cables even if they are already ‘approved’ by Benson Leung or other people. It never hurts to verify things for yourself rather than ruin your phone or in some cases a Pixel Book due to faulty cables. These can hopefully be mitigated through the use of a multimeter like this one.
The device itself is about the size of a large flash (slightly bigger) featuring 2 input ports to, and it plugs directly into your charger. I like how you can see inside the multimeter through its dark grey clear plastic casing. I’m not sure how durable this device will be given it’s build, but I haven’t seen any issues so far. I used my other multimeter to verify readings using different cables with my Nexus 6P and S7 Edge all of which were consistent. The multimeter can only handle up to 9V, so if you want to use it on devices that support QC 3.0 or even some QC 2.0 in the future be it might not work. I have yet to see a phone charge at 12V, but I do have a battery pack that charged at 12V, so I can’t check the current using this mutlimeter without risking it failing. I would have liked it to support the higher voltages like my other one does, but that’s fine because I can use this one for my Nexus 6P, and the other one to check my QC enabled devices. Overall I’m happy with this little device, and I’m sure it will get used frequently just like my other one.

MicroUSB-C OTG Adapter:
I own a few different sets of these MicroUSB-C OTG adapters from different companies including Techmatte, Tronsmart, and now Meenova. The Meenova is the only one of them that’s made out of aluminum despite being fairly large compared to the other two. Like the Dash Micro this adapter is made out of aluminum giving it the best feel out of all 3. I tested the adapter with one of my microUSB OTG flash drives which worked flawlessly as expected despite looking funny due to the adapter & flash drives combined lengths.
Next, I wanted to verify that the correct resistor was used in this adapter due to earlier issues with companies not using the proper one. I plugged it into my Meenova/Tronsmart multimeters along with a short cable, and it showed the phone pulling the proper current. Now, before you go charging your device with these adapters Benson Leung has shed some more light on their approved uses. According to Benson Leung (https://twitter.com/Laughing_Man/status/692931998218895360) the host should never use an adapter for anything other than OTG i.e. it should not be used for charging. I know many people still use them for charging, but it’s good to know they aren’t intended for that. Overall this is still a great adapter that does what it says by providing OTG support to your Nexus 6P/Type-C device. It is my understanding that other MicroUSB-C adapters don’t work with OTG which I’ll have to verify with my other two when I get home today.

I don't see how those are USB OTG adapters... What would you plug in!? I don't have anything with a microusb end besides a cable.....

Other DACs.
Not a lot of used but the earbuds was the one that had me go out and buy this.
Without it I had a jumble of cables and adapters to have my earbuds work.

Benson Leung
Hi. That looks awful. I can't figure out what that does.
Benson, thanks for the USB c reviews. Wondering if you have reviewed and type c otg cables; specifically ones w power pass through? much thanks
Benson Leung
power pass through is not possible.
at least for Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X
Well that's good for now, I have the 6p
Benson Leung
for Pixel C, Chromebook Pixel, MacBook and other devices that support USB Type-C and USB PD, there are charge through hubs that can fast charge the laptops and tablets
also if you have Microsoft Lumia 950 phone, that supports PD as well
those devices allow the phone to swap data and power roles separately
the dongle you pointed to is a bad idea
the MacBook, for example, has an accessory that allows it to have an extra USB Type-A port and an HDMI port but still charge the laptop.
that hub is a USB PD charge through hub.
but it won't work with Nexus because Nexus doesn't support PD.
Perfect. I guess a regular otg cable will suffice. I figured I'd ask the one person who's know. Thank you very much for your time. I've made purchases based on your recommendations
Have you reviewed otg cables?
Benson Leung
there is no such thing as 'otg' for USB Type-C
the On The Go spec doesn't apply to Type-C
instead you have something called 'Legacy Device Adapter' cables
Ahh. Makes sense.
Benson Leung
which has Type-C plug on one side and a Type-A receptacle on the other
OTG is dead. it was bad to begin with, i'm glad it's superceded
Agreed. I will make sure to pass the knowledge on. Thank you again.

That seems like he's referring to something that is against spec that he wrote about on his G+ page. You can't have a Type-C to female A adapter (see below), maybe it was just the way he worded it. I assume he's not referring to the link I posted below but rather it's inverse. I don't see any mention of micro USB like the reference I posted, so I'm still left here a little confused.

It was a USB OTG cable with power passthru. Either way, USB OTG isn't a thing anymore with Type C. I have the little type C to micro usb adapters, they however are not USB OTG adapters as they say in your pictures. They are merely USB type c - microusb adapters.
The one i linked to in the beginning of the chat was this: (i'm not sure if that link worked or not) http://usbfever.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=77_316&products_id=2759 - What I thought was a USB OTG with power passthrough.... Something I used with my Nexus 6 and a portable HDD that required more power.

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.

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

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.
Anyone know of any good adaptors similar to the OTG which would allow to connect USB memory sticks via the USB-C port.

I havent used them but some companies are making flash drive with usb c and usb a if all you want it for is a flash drive you can get a flash drive that works without an adapter
Be careful of hard adapters, they (Ha Ha, YOU) will break themselves or your port
Edit, these may not be OTG also. Yet similar OTG 90* adapters have similar drawbacks/ benefits.
There are 2 like this on Amazon.

This right angle horizontal, is not yet reviewed, but a sister item with right angle (up) is.
Frys usually stocks this style in micro, maybe a C version is there?
I have used one! The one I use works only with USB flash drives that are fat32 format! The brand of mine is belkin and I bought it from best buy!
Very nice to use this for watching movies and not having to use up storage on the device.
Only drawback is that the usb-c port does not allow you to use wired headphones at the same time! So, I had to go wireless Bluetooth headset!

Curious question. Since this is one of the first phones where the add-on option comes into play (mods), couldnt one devise an external ssd drive moto mod? Either that or one of those all-in-one adapter mods where i can plug in older tech? Im always skeptical about destroying the one & only port on the phone anyway.
In case anyone only wants flash storage I purchased the Sandisk Dual ultra and it works great, usb c and a usb a connector.
Also only have to carry one thing as opposed to two. I bought mine with 128gb storage, preformatted to fat32, was simply plug and play.
I have purchased and received the Dell Universal Dock - D6000. It works well with the Pixel C and Pixel 2 XL. I am sure it will work well with other Android devices.
http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-universal-dock-d6000/apd/452-bcyt/pc-accessories
"Conveniently dock any laptop equipped with USB-C or USB3.0 ports with the Dell Universal Dock - D6000. You’ll be able to connect up to three 4K displays simultaneously."
This dock allows for multiple displays using DisplayLink technology with no lag. It also charges your Android device while being docked unlike other alternatives. I'm currently using this as a laptop replacement at work and so far it's been working well. I have a Dell USB keyboard and Dell USB mouse connected to the dock which both work well. I have also tested USB flash drives and USB external drives and all seem to be working flawlessly.
Things I haven't tested:
- Sound (speakers, headphones, etc.)
- 3 monitors (I've only tested with 2)
This is a great solution for those of us trying to transition to 100% tablet. There are a few apps that I require which don't reside on a mobile platform. For these, I simply use RD client and remote desktop into a Windows 10 machine to perform these tasks.
Please let me know if there are any questions or if you would like for me to test something before being able to make a purchase decision.

What is the experience like with 2 monitors? Do you just have 3 screens showing the same image (mirroring) or can you send apps to different screens?
With two screens, you can place different apps on each screen.

I got to play with a D6000 recently and yes it does charge & mirror the display at the same time over USB C. I only had 1 monitor tho so I couldn't see if/how the multiple display scenario works.
Any extra software needed?
I have a D6000 at work, tried to plug my Samsung S9 in. I can use the keyboard and mouse connected, sounds go through the dock, but i can't get video to come to the monitor. Is there a seeing our anniversary that I am missing, or is it the overly Samsung modified OS?

The Dell D6000 dock looks like a good choice, but it and other native USB-C DisplayLink docks are rather expensive, typically well over $100 even for used ones.
The older Dell D3000 dock also works, but since it uses a USB-A 3.0 cable, it does not charge your phone while your phone is driving the dock. Well, there's a workaround for that. My recipe is:

The key unusual bit is that MOGOOD "Splitter" cable. I'm not sure what it's really doing internally, but it let's you hook up an extra USB cable to charge your phone, while your phone is still driving the dock! In my brief testing so far, it seems to work fine. With the DisplayLink Presenter app installed, my phone displays on the external monitor, and says it is charging at the same time too. I have not actually tried any of the other features of the dock yet, like the Ethernet port, etc.

The Dell D6000 dock looks like a good choice, but it and other native USB-C DisplayLink docks are rather expensive, typically well over $100 even for used ones.

I happen to have dell 3100 docking station and I'm thinking of doing the same setup.
I presume you are using Android phone?
Does it have any specific capabilities like display over USB?

Yes, a Google Pixel 3a. No, no special capabilities. I just run the standard DisplayLink app from the Google App Store to make the external monitor mirror the phone's screen.
