Does the Op7P not support a USB C thumb drive directly plugged in? Mine wont work, however its a dual drive with a usb a, which when I plug into a C->A OTG cable it does work.
Try turning it on in Settings > System > OTG Storage. From what I understand earlier versions of OOS needed this turned on, whereas later versions negated it being required. Also, is the USB drive formatted with a compatible file system?
I found some USB-C OTG cables on Amazon. is there one that may function better over another?

Has anyone tried to use the OTG cable for mouse/keyboard?

I have used both a generic OTG cable as well as the 1+ that I got for my 3T. I have also used it with a Logitech wireless receiver and used a kb & mouse.

Does the TF300 contain USB-host chip inside tablet? Will I get USB port If I connect charging cable to USB female-female adapter?
I just bought the adapter from amazon. It plugs into the charging connector, and it works great with my external hard drives for movies and stuff. It concerns me a little about how flimsy it feels when it's plugged in, but it sure beats dropping $150 just to have a usb port. It is a full sized usb 2.0 port on the adapter.

I haven't tried a female to female cord yet, but that would be even cheaper than the adapter.

Yes, I know about the adapter. But I live in Russia and it takes a looooooong time to wait for delivery from shops like amazon or ebay
So thats why I ask about female-female USB adapter. I just wonder if somebody have tried to use it.

Are there any Roms that support usb otg.
I'm on clean rom 2.5 and can't get it to work. Also the few Roms I have tried it hasn't worked.

CleanRom 2.5 (and 2.1 before that) and it works fine for me. Higher-drain usb devices might need their own power source.
What kind of usb otg are you using maybe I have the wrong cord. Did you have to enable any options?

I used what I thought was a non-OTG micro-usb-to-usb adapter, and then a cheapo OTG cable and both worked with a wired Xbox 360 controller. The cable also worked with a flash drive. I haven't really tried any other devices.
The ones I used were:
http://www.amazon.com/T-Flash-Adapt...UTF8&qid=1350406382&sr=8-1&keywords=otg+cable
and something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/SANOXY-Micro-Male-Female-Adapter/dp/B0027YYMU6/ref=pd_sim_cps_8
I didn't enable/disable anything when I did the tests -- it just worked. Possibly I had done something earlier, but I can't remember anything specific, and haven't done any specialized hacks for this.
Yeah I have the same cord odd. Oh well .
Thank you for taking the time to supply the links.
Is it possible to attach a powered hub to
A) Attach higher power-requirement devices that do not have external power
and/or
B) Attach multiple devices for simultaneous use (say, a keyboard and a mouse
??

I *believe* both answers are "yes". You can attach a usb hub. A powered one should give power to the devices, or you could try a "y" usb cable to provide power as well.
btw, here's a video showing off some of the capabilities (i believe this is the international version):

Shoot. I guess I'm not sure what else to try so hopefully someone else can chime in. I haven't tested it out recently, but I'll let you know if I happen to discover anything.
Works fine for me...just plug the otg cable in (I had one from my old fascinate I got off Amazon for like 3 dollars...and I can either plug a single item like a mouse or flash drive straight into it or a hub that can be powered or not...if you plan on using an external hard drive is suggest plugging it in...I believe the phone holds up to like 6usb connections at once but don't quite me on the exact number...I have had a mouse, keyboard, flash drive, sd card reader, and second phone all plugged in at once...only think I've found is that not all usb hubs will work for some reason...I use a 30 dollar (at bestbuy) belkin 6 port hub and never had a problem...to have it powered though you have to plug the actual power cable on the hub into a power source and run a usb cable from the hub to otg cable...as far as I know every room should support this...I used liquid smooth which is an aosp rom and it works great, also works great on any tw Rom as the capability is built into the phone...hope this helps anyone with questions about this...only think I haven't tried is a hard drive mainly because I have no need to buy one but it should work...and if it means anything I use all 2.0 cables and accessories, no 3.0 or 1.0

Is anyone aware of a USB OTG cable that will allow devices to be plugged into the shield while also allowing the device to charge?
I have a OTG USB -> USB Hub -> USB Ethernet + Keyboard + Mouse + Controllers plugged in so that I can use the Shield as a console for my PC games on my TV @1080P/60.
Everything works perfect, but when you take up the micro USB slot with the OTG cable, you are running off battery with no way to keep the device charged. I get a reasonable amount of charge time (on a full charge I have never blown out the whole battery life while gaming), but it's a pain to swap the cable between charge and OTG when it does need some juice.
I've seen a gentleman by the name of Timur who came up with a custom kernel for the Nexus 7 that allows such functionality on that device.
Is there any solutions like this for the Shield, or is there any cables that will accomplish this without modification?

I'm actually afraid to ask this with the other issues surrounding the non standard implementation of Type C in the Nexus 6P (not supporting USB Power Delivery, Not supporting Display Port for video out), has it been confirmed that the 6P will act as a USB Host Controller (USB OTG)? I connect my DSLRs to it for shooting using a program called Helicon Remote.

I think what was meant is that because the Nexus 6P is only a USB 2.0 Device, it will not have 3.0 or 3.1 speed/functionality even with a 3.0 cable.
Lesson. Type C is connector. It does not mean fast charging nor USB 3 though it supports those things.
I bought a Leef Access reader a few months ago to view video from my dashcam on my phone. http://www.leefco.com/access-micro-sd-card-reader
Well now my 6p has USB C. Is there either a type C card reader or a C to Micro adapter? Something similar to what the OP was but instead of USB A female, a microUSB female receptacle.
Thanks!

There are lots of them listed on Amazon.
Anyone know if the Nexus 6P will read portable drives and thumb drives that are formatted with exFAT with the OTG Cable?? I have several videos that are larger than 4Gb and if the 6P doesn't read exFAT then, it's a deal breaker. Thanks

Sadly the 6P does NOT support exFAT out of the box. However if you have custom recovery there are other kernels already out that add support. Google left it out because Microsoft who made the tech charges a steep licensing fee to include support officially.

I've looked at these, but the Google Engineer that has been reviewing cables rated this specific one poorly and stated it was not of high quality and didn't follow the proper specs. It would probably be OK for data use, but I'd rather not risk messing it up.

The only kennels I know of at kylo and elementalx.... Both work get for me... It's early yet for some developers, but I think they both support exfat
It seems that everyone is buying cables to work with their old chargers, but since I'll be carrying the 6P charger around for the fastest speeds, I was wondering if anyone has found a way to charge older micro USB devices with the included charger.
Thanks!
I could be wrong, but from what I think, Older devices will not be able to receive the charges like you are hoping they would. I think your search might be in vain.
I thought USB C was backwards compatible and would charge at the slower micro usb speeds.
To my knowledge, you can have a male USB Type-C ended cable, but not a female. The USB IF specifically prohibits it in their specs. Female connections are strictly for ports on devices.
That said, Type-C is backwards compatible, and can go from Type-C to microUSB, as such: http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F2CU033/
