Hello all,
what is the best solution to connect pixel to a PC (type a usb port)? Right now I could only think of getting a third party usb c cable like an anker one, are there anymore solutions?
Google should really understand that people's computers still have usb a ports, both ends with usb c is still too early

Your pixel didn't come with a USB c to regular USB A cable? ???.... that is strange, mine did.... did u by it used or something? ...
regardless, you should be able to buy a proper cable just about anywhere. common stuff, under $10.... Amazon, eBay, google, Apple, Wallmart (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Cable-Ma...Type-A-USB-A-Cable-in-Black-3-3-Feet/49419804).
sorry for not clarifying, mine is a pixel 2. It comes with a usb c to c cable.

Not to be rude; but this isn't the pixel 2 forum.... this is Pixel 1St gen and very specifically 'Sailfish'.
I would suggest posting in a Pixel 2 forum, rather than here. plus, you could've just googled it. usb c to usb a cables are common AF. available everywhere ?

I am trying to charge my Nexus 6P while simultaneously casting a streaming video from a USB drive to a Chromecast using a USB keyboard and mouse (Basically a computer replacement scenario). I have purchased the Cynergy 3 Port Ethernet Hub USB C with USB C connector and everything works independently but I can not seem to get it to simultaneously charge and read the USB port data. When the hub is inserted into the Nexus 6P the phone asks me to choose between 5 USB scenarios (see attached picture). When I pick “Charging” the USB ports stop working and when I unplug the power supply and then plug it back in the phone defaults to “Power supply” and the phone does not charge but the USB ports work along with the items connected to them. So I wonder if simultaneous charging and data is possible with the USB C connector on the Nexus 6P? I have read elsewhere in this forum that it may not be allowed in the USB standard but can’t find any confirmation of this. Has anyone found a cable/hub that can do this or is this not possible due to the USB C connector limitation?
You might want to try something like this.

Why tell him to waste money on something that isn't going to work? The 6P doesn't support USB PD so this isn't possible.
i think you need to do some mad hacks in the kernel to get otg and charging at once (i think they did it on the oneplus 1 and possibly on the 2nd gen n7 so maybe google those for what it needs to be done?) i tried various resistors to the sense pin on the micro usb z4 which ended up not working but i have no idea how the usb c is wired up. Good luck with it anyway
Hi, this is a bit of a hit an hope question
My nexus 5 will charge as long as i use a certain charger (its from a Sony z3) but wont from nearly all other USB chargers I have including multiport ones that are supposed to give out 2.1A.
The phone also isn't recognised by a PC (ive tested across 3) in either adb or fastboot
Ive changed the battery and USB assembly twice
Any other ideas ?
Other members have had problems when using cheap third-party replacement USB flex cables. Is the replacement cable oem?

It was this issue that caused me to change the cable
The phone now has an oem internal data/charging USB flex cable inside?

sorry i thought id responded. yes i put the original oem cable back in . But as I said before this issue was first seen with all oem parts which is why i switched in the first place

If the problem exists after changing the internal USB flex cable, it could be a connection problem on the motherboard.
Hi guys.

I tried connecting my new Pixel 2 to my PC and it wont work, it says it´s charging but the notification where I can click and change from "charging" to "transfer files" will not show up. I am trying this with a USB2 A to Micro-USB cable connected to a MicroUSB to USB-C adapter. Worked perfectly on my Xiaomi Mi A1 but not on the Pixel 2 and even though this is such an expensive smarphone Google decided not to include a USB A to USB C cable (or some headphones, for that matter) I cant connect my phone to the PC and transfer my music to it! I have tried the USB3 port, the USB2 back and fron ports, to no avail.
Can someone please help?

Did you go to settings - connected devices - USB?
Of course i did it. Doesn't help. I used usb-c cable from HTC10, but it's doesn't fit good with port in my Pixel 2. Maybe it is problem. But with stock cable i cannot connect Pixel with my PC.

How did you use the stock cable? Do you have a USB C port on your PC?

I didn't use stock cable from my Pixel 2 but cable from my HTC10. At one end it's usb-c, and at the other end it is USB - and this side i plug to my PC.

You said "but with stock cable I cannot connect to PC". For a moment I thought you connected the stock cable and it didn't work.
No i mean that i cannot connect because there is no USB at the end.

same issue here!try use other cable ,turn on the USB debug mode,install the ADB driver already,but not work
Probably a dumb question, but did you 'enable usb debugging' in Dev mode? You didn't mention it in the OP, so I had to ask.
i download the google usb driver then follow the guide and fix it

Agreed.

One thing I recommend is trying to find the cable originally with the device. Or, try to find a "DATA TRANSFER" cable, some cables only charge the device. I have the same problem, I just have a USB-C to USB-C cable, cause I do not have the Pixel 2 XL. Sucks there is no headphone jack. Any ideas? Maybe where I can get a working cable? I need one for my phone, cause I record my YouTube videos with it.

Thanks, SargeantsTechTips (Draven Sargeant). :fingers-crossed:
Does any one know a reason why a computer won't recognize a Galaxy S8+ when plugged in USB. To me its clear that drivers are messed up on the ZBook, but I don't know how to fix it.
I have two PCs, my wifes laptop and this HP ZBook x2 G4. All three of the other devices recognize the S8+, but the ZBook wont. I've gone into S8+ settings, turned on developer mode and turned on USB Debugging with no success. I've tried a USB C to USB C cable, as well as the USB 3.0 to USB C able that comes with the phone. Still nothing.

USB 3.0 has played much havok with S8 most recommend a 2.0 hub and seems to solve issues some of the time

First off, thank you for your feedback and your time.
Idk if thats the issue in this case. My other two PCs have no problem reading it via USB 3.0
But lets say the USB 3.0 havok IS the issue here. Does the USB 3.0 havok apply to USB-C to USB-C? My ZBook (the one having issues) has two USB-C ports. But even when my S8+ is connected to my ZBook via C to C I still have the problem. I figure if the "havok" is strictly related to USB 3.0 and it still doesn't work with C then maybe my problem is something different, unrelated to the USB 3.0 havok.
I REALLY want to connect my S8+ to my ZBook via USB-C to USB-C, so that I can use Sidesyc smoothly.
My guess would be the usb 3 driver on your laptop, perhaps try to find an updated usb3 driver.
The fact that your other two laptops see your S8 suggests that problem is with the laptop rather than S8+ or usb cable
Will look into it! Thank you!
Hi, Google a program called USBDeview.
Sup guys I'm just curious to know which USB type c cable (that can transfer files, due with pc) works and has fast charging for pixel 4 xl ?
