Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a USB OTG cable? I would prefer one that will accept a USB Type A peripheral, but still connect to the phone with Type C (not requiring an adaptor). Does such a cable exist?
Yes. Googling type c otg gives you this as the first result. Note that using a micro usb otg cable with a micro→type c adapter doesn't work for some reason, or at least it didn't for me.
I've bought this: https://www.amazon.es/gp/aw/d/B01LX...er+USB+otg&dpPl=1&dpID=41ec3rrdfuL&ref=plSrch and it works quite good as OTG adapter. Take a look.

AUKEY USB C to Micro USB Adapter (3 Pack) for Data Syncing and Charging, Compatible with LG G5, Nexus 6P, Nexus 5x, and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ANLA6OU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dSH0xbYZAYJ4Z
Hi,
I'm trying to use the iRig UA Accessory with my LG G5, I'm connecting by an OTG Micro USB Type B to Micro USB Type B cable with a Type C adapter.
Sadly, the iRig doesn't turn on and is not recognized.
When using the same iRig on PC or Nexus 5, everything is fine. Does anybody know what's wrong here?
May it be caused by the adapter?

The B Micro to C adapters are for charging only.. you would need a Type C OTG adapter and a standard B micro to Type A cable (like used to a normal computer) to hook it up.
Edit: Tested a normal USB sound device (Cmedia based) usb audio works.

Great! I tried this solution and it works now. Didn't think that it can make such a huge difference. Thanks a lot!

Glad to help . Perhaps some day someone will make a Type C OTG direct to B Micro cable that will make your device setup more streamlined.
So here's what I have-
A galaxy s8
A usb type c to micro sub adapter
An otg cable for micro usb to use 2.0
A usb 2.0 Xbox 360 controller
I stick them all together but it doesn't work. How can I solve this? Any ideas.

Why do you need the micro USB converter? Doesn't Xbox 360 connects to a regular USB? Doesn't your s8 comes with an OTG {USB 3 to regular USB)?

My phone is usb type c. So I convert type c to micro usb port and then micro usb to usb 2.0 port and then I use the Xbox 360 controller. No it was a gift. Maybe they kept the usb c to usb 3.0 converter.
Maybe you can get a regular OTG for USB-C. Then connect the Xbox 360 directly to it using the cable that comes with the Xbox 360.
Although I have that USB-C to micro USB converter that comes in the box to. I realized that sometimes you need to flip the USB-C for it to work on some devices.

Just try it and see if it works. Some devices could work while others would need a dedicated OTG cable
Thx fydtyh. I will update later

It depends on whether the phone is used as client or as host. If the phone is to be used as a client, normal USB cable is used. If the phone is to be used as host, a OTG cable is used. It is a matter of pinout order.

You can convert the USB C cable into a OTG cable by changing the pinout order as indicated in the following discussion. You will need an adapter to convert one USB C end into USB A.
How different is a normal usb cable from OTG usb cable?
Answer (1 of 8): Hey, So USB OTG cable is used to connect to a device (say your phone, tablet) when you want to use that device (say your phone tablet) as a host. So imagine you want to use a mouse with your android tablet, then you can use the OTG cable as shown in the figure below Major dif...

I know the diagrams show microUSB instead of USB C but the pinout order should still be the same for microUSB and USB C.
hi, i would like to use my xzp for octoprint until raspberrys are available again. The OTG function works but I can't charge and use otg at the same time with a Y-cable (aca mode?). I tested the stock and [ROM][13][OFFICIAL] NusantaraProject 5.2 (Toba) [14/11/2022]. Anyone an idea?
Well in theory it should be possible, with a adapter ("double dongle"), that has USB C to USB A to USB A
Like this one (link to amazon) (here's the link in case you can't click it:
https://www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/B07T...ix=usb+c+to+dual+usb+a+adapter,aps,187&sr=8-3 )
You could also search for something like this: usb c to dual usb a adapter
And you should get a few results.
I had one for my samsung (micro usb) and this kind of (double) dongle (adapter) worked.
