Mi 4C OTG Cable

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?

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

HTC U11, does it has HDMI out?

Looking for USB-C to HDMI out functionality to share my screen directly with a TV.
HTC used Slimport at one time, but this new device isn't listed. Any thoughts?

Using a USB-Hub with a HDMI-Out. It's working absolutely fine. No problems at all streaming to my TV.

Does this mean the Continuum Dock would work? I know it works with Asus ChromeBook.

Are you also able to use the USB ports? I've bought this one: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01J4BO0X8/ref=pe_3044161_185740101_TE_item and the HDMI works perfectly, but the USB ports don't work with my usb drives.

USB ports are in use for e.g. USB sticks and work fine on my end.

The one I am using Is by cable matters but make sure you get one that charges the phone other wise it drains the battery 100% to 0% in about 2 hours.
You can buy on eBay or Amazon it's about 30$.
Cable Matters USB-C To 4K HDMI Adapter With Power Delivery (2017 MacBook and IMac, Galaxy S8 and Thunderbolt 3 Compatible) In Black

Why not use a chrome cast?

use this usb c hub its the best by far, the only adapter to do 4k 60hz for gaming needs etc but only bad thing is its got usb 2.0 port instead of usb 3.0 which is a bottleneck for hi speed file transfer needs. but other than that it does everything you need it to do like act as a ultra low power 4k 60hz tv box, ultra low power 4k 60 hz gaming rig(emulators etc) and offcourse charging all at the same time via quick charge 3.0 thats 30 watts max. my setup consists of 2x usb gamepad, 4k 60hz hdmi tv with HDR, a 500GB external 2.5"inch hard drive. a usb keyboard and a wireless 2.4ghz mouse all with this adapter oh and another secondary usb 2.0 hub with power and sd card etc connected to the first hub.

you may have initial problems setting up all your devices and enabling enough power to power the phone and the devices so always use powered usb hubs so you dont create a situation where the battery drain is larger than the power being provided. i had to fiddle around to find the sweet spot. for example i realised there are different scenarios when connecting the devices to usb type c hubs. some for example this one im using from scan needs the power charger to be connected the last after connecting hmdi and usb if not done last the power provided is much less or the drain is much higher. when you connect the power leade to the adapter the hdmi display gets cut out and you have to then reconnect the hdmi display to re enable it. i have tested a few of these usb type c hubs with hdmi etc they all seems to have this problem they wont all (display, charge, usb) work when connected at the same time for example connect the devices and display and charge to the hub then connect the hub to the phone, you have to re insert it into the hub after disconnecting it to enable it.
after fiddling around with different combinations for a few days now i have finally been successfull with having a usb external hard drive, hdmi 4k 60hz display and a keyboard and mouse and phone having enough charge to stay on green led while i do everything such as web browse, play games, watch 4k and use keyboard and mouse on my htc u11.
ive noticed when i was using a standard cheap usb optical mouse those with flashing lit leds on all the time caused my charging power to drop so after changing the mouse for a optical 2.4ghz usb mouse it seems to have increased the power for charging which nipped it in the bud for me and my setup. now my htc u11's charge led stays green all the time.
further from my experiments i realised some methods of connecting caused quick charge 3.0 to work but as soon as it reached 100% charge the charge power would drop so slow battery drain would start to happen while other scenarios reduced this battery charge drop rate and was slower in draining. heres another scenario when i plugged everything the display the charger and the usb external hard drive to the scan club 3d dock the hard drive wouldnt work at first then i realised my external hdd was formatted ntfs since it allows large file sizes for 4k movies. then i had to format the external hdd as exfat since ntfs is not recognised in android only fat 32 and exfat. fat 32 dosent allow file sizes above 4gb while exfat and nts do so exfat was the best option for formatting my external hdd since it was recognised by wndows and android. second problem factor i had was that not all secondary hubs would work. i first tried a usb 3.0 4 x port hub (not extrenally powered) and a cheap 4 x port usb 2.0 hub but they wouldnt work with my external usb 3.0 hdd the drive would appear in file explorer but wouldnt show its contents. so then i finally got a usb 2.0 hub with sd card and external power and 3 x usb 2.0 ports and that worked!!! so when connecting a secondary usb hub its most likely needs to be externally powered.
with the new usb type c 3.1 port comes lots of bugs that need to be hammered out on the software firmware level before its all totally plug and play. my htc and the scan club 3d hub didnt work too well at first but after a few htc u11 firmware updates things were alot smoother.

They won't let me post the link I haven't been on here long enough but go to eBay and type in the search bar CABLE MATTERS USB-C TO HDMI WITH POWER and 2 should pop up those are the ones I am using let me know if it works for you

I can confirm that the continuum dock by Microsoft works well.

Something like this works fine: https://www.ebay.com/i/391979597226

Hi there,
I ordered this one for Amazon "USB C Hub, Excelvan 5 in 1 USB Type C Hub HDMI 4K Transfer with 3 USB 3.0 Ports Power Delivery for new MacBook / MacBook Pro 2015/2016, Smartphoe, Tablet and other USB C Port Equipped Devices" (can't post link as I'm a new user)
I plug in but get nothing it lists support for the HTC 10 which I thought used the same standard.
My phone is on Oreo, can anyone verify HDMI out works for Oreo still?
Is there anything required to make it work other than plugging in? The USB ports work so thats a start. Also I wonder, the devices I'm plugging in only support 1080p so do I need to change the phone resolution first or should the phone do that automatically?
Thanks in advance!

I purchased another cable and it works! So Oreo isn't an issue.
For those interested the cable purchased was from Ebay UK, search for "Type C USB To HDMI HDTV Cable External Display Adapter for HTC U Ultra U11 10"

There are already threads to discuss dongles so use the search and you will have your answer there.

If you'd like to share the ones you have found that would be more helpful.

OTG issue on Poco

Hi at all,
who of you, guy has use otg cable for connect drive or pendrive on our phone?
I plug a pendrive using different otg cable that I have, but nothing happen.
I use OTG tester app and it say that OTG is enable, but nothingi happen.
So I've to understand if my phone is defective or there is some option to enable it.
I activeted CIT menù to test OTG but it fail.
IMO the issue depends for alimentation, because if I connect a drone (I'm modellist) nothing happen, while if I do the same on other phone the drone ligh on.
Any idea?

Just connected an old USB I had laying around with the USB OTG adapter I still had from my OnePlus One.
Stick was in fat32 I believe and I have an Android 11 ROM (Latest Nitrogen OS) on the Phone.
Anyway, no problems whatsoever. Was recognized immediately and gave me the Options to Explore/Eject, without any prior settings or anything.

thanks for test
my Android version is stock 10, with 2.04 MIUI stable.
I don't know if it depend from a bug or hardware issue.
The phone has 3 mounth live and I would't like to return it to Amazon for the change.
I was unlucky with Xiomi this time. I bought the RedMi note 9 pro and I change it for camera problems (dust in the lens). Now with this OTG issue....:crying:

Oppo Find X2 USB-C to HDMI out. Does it work?

I got a USB-C hub adapter that has USB 3, SD card readers and HDMI out, but it doesn't seem to work.
No video out.
Are there any settings I need to change to make it work? Any OTG settings or something?
This is the adapter I have.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000544358433.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1cf54c4dwgapcH
The first one on the left.

Nope, it seems it was either disabled in the kernel or the pins weren't configured to enable DP Alt Mode.

I have usb c with my dell monitor and I can confirm it works fine. It screen mirrors it.
Even the hdr works from plex, emby etc.
My Samsung tab s6 has it disabled, so annoying.

2 conflicting answers, I guess your best bet @samusx is to buy it & try it yourself, good luck!

No issues here
It works for me as well. I connected my Oppo Find X2 with a USB-C hub and then with a regular hdmi cable to a cheap beamer and it worked fine.
Good luck!
[edit] I have a Hyperdrive USB-C connector [/edit]

Works fine here.

i have one. it's work on Android10. but no work on Android11.

I got a USB-c hub including an HDMI out, and it does work.
My X2 Pro is currently on Android 10.
When the update comes out eventually for my phone and I update, I hope it still works.

Hi everyone!
Please, Android 11 is it possible the HDMI output? Oppo find x2

Works on android 11, this is how I play cod mobile using xbox controller. Maybe not all USB standards are the same. Like not all USB-C to 3.5mm jack are the same. Make sure you try more adapters/dongles.

Not sure if it still helps you, but I just tested it after breaking my screen and plugging it into a usb hub with HDMI connected to a monitor. It mirrors the screen just fine.
