Just ordered a Oneplus 6, it will be my first USB C device, any recommendations for USB C - OTG adapters that work nicely?
Thanks!
I have had this for 1.5 years for now and works as expected (atleast with usb stick... first with OP 3T and now with OP6): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Typ...330.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dxAL2qC
such a discomfort that otg cannot functioning via any cable.
It's highly inconvenient to remove my magnet adapter for magnet cable.
OnePlus sells one from their website https://www.oneplus.com/oneplus-type-c-otg-cable
I got this one from Amazon and it works great.

I bought this one and it works well - Type C to USB 3.0 OTG Adapter, USB-C 3.1 Male to USB 3.0 A Female Adapter, aloici USB-C OTG Host Cable (On the Go) for MacBook Pro, Galaxy S9/8/Note8/Tab, Pixel 2, OnePlus5, Sony XZ and More (black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076ZH1P5M?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
Around 10$.
Usb typa C to Usb 3.1 OTG adapter.
I got this since OnePlus 3 phone. Works fine on Op6. Just instaled one rom with it.
Hi guys, I got a usb 3.0 I used to use on my Samsung, now I got an adaptor for my op6, I have an issue, everything works great, but the videos are laggy, what could this be any ideas, adaptor fault, or the usb is too slow?
I got an adaptor with my Mayflash Magic-NS wireless adaptor. It's working nicely on my Switch and on my phone (yeah I can use various wireless controllers, some of which would not work well on android due to this device). Works for my USB disk on this phone nicely too.

I know the Pixel 2 series didn't support USB-C to HDMI cables, but I was wondering if that's fixed on the Pixel 3 or whether Google still expects everyone to use Chromecast?
Desktop mode is one of the few brilliant things about my P20.
No, it doesn't support any USB-C Alt-mode.
Shame, but expected.
Hello,
does anybody know a working USB ethernet adapter for the Pixel 3a?
I have tried one with ASIX AX88772A (USB 2.0) and another one with AX88179 (USB 3.0) chipset and both are not recognized correctly.
The Pixel does recognize some USB device and the ethernet adapter is powered up, but it is not possible to switch to data transfer.
I am using this and it works.

I can absolutely rule out
Alfa awus 0036nh - ralink 3070
Alfa awus 0036h - realtek 8187
Micro USb - realtek 8188e
Micro USB - ralink 5370
small form + 3db antenna ralink 5370
Although I've had great luck with gos modules I can confirm the Ublox7 / Vk-172 works well with the 3a. My GlobalSat BU-353-S4 hasn't cooperated yet. Sorry to say that gps wardriving is much more difficult but just as rewarding, if you do find a good wifi unit that works with the pixel do let us know.

I don't have a 3a, but this one works fine with my Pixel 3.

It works on my Pixel 3A as well. Of course, I'm using a USB 3 to USB-C adapter. The performance is quite poor. I'm getting about 75 MBPS on a 300 MBPS internet connection. I do much better on Wi-Fi. I tried the same on a Chromebook, and the NIC worked much better on USB 3, then via the USB-C adapter. I'm wondering if it's a problem with the USB 3 to USB-C adapter, or is the nature of the beast when doing that conversion?
Have you seen the same? Which conversion adapter are you using?
Thank you
I get 89 Mbps, which is the limit of my internet connection. I'm using this adapter:

So, using the combination of that network adapter and that USB adapter, I'm getting a max of 102 MPS on my Pixel 3a. Using the same combination on a Chromebook, I'm getting 297 MBPS. Using Wi-Fi, on the Pixel, I get close to what I'm getting wifi / wired on the Chromebook.
I wonder if there is some setting on the Pixel, or a hardware limitation.
Has anyone found a way to cast or screen mirror when using USB Ethernet ?
Obviously my tv, Chromecast and fire TV are all connected to the same Ethernet network.
But every screen mirror / cast app I've tried won't work unless WiFi is connected on the phone.
The PinePhone dock worked on my pixel 3a for ethernet tethering. Sept. 22 OTA rooted [Magisk] Tethering Enabler verizon grandfathered UDP. Plugged into a switch with wifi mesh and whole home wifi works. I need a longer LAN cable to put my phone in a spot with better signal. I have not tried HDMI but I can if someone needs that.
I have a Pixel 3 and just bought two USB 3 cables (type A to type C) from Amazon Warehouse Deals. After receiving them I tested them with my Pixel 3. Weirdly, the first one would only connect in USB 2/High Speed mode. Until I inserted the USB-C plug the other way around in my Pixel. Suddenly it was connected with Super Speed/USB 3. What?
On my wife's Pixel 3a the orientation does not matter, it is always only USB 2 (but I think that is one of the points where the 3a has lower specs than the 3).
So I tried some other devices. I have any Icy Box IB-CR401-C3 USB-C card reader. It is only recognized in one orientation in my Pixel 3. On the Pixel 3a, it works both ways.
I also tried the USB-C cable (both ends) that normally connects a Chromebook to my screen. While the orientation on the PC's UBC-C port does not seem to matter, it only connects with Super Speed in one orientation on the phone. Flip the connector 180°, and it is only USB 2. I am very confused.
I tried cleaning the phone's port from pocket lint, but as the connection does work (at USB 2.0 speed) and charging works fine as far as I can tell, I am not sure that is the issue anyway.
Has anyone else noticed this? You can check with USB Tree Viewer under Windows or under Linux with
Code:
lsusb
to identify Bus and Device number and
Code:
lsusb -t
to see the connection speed by Bus/Port/Device.
I have tried 2 different Ethernet adapter/hubs with my Pixel 7 Pro. They are: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09LCHDRP9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W52R8KY?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details These will not allow the Ethernet tethering setting to activate on the Pixel 7 Pro, although both work instantly with my Samsung. I need one that will put a mouse pointer on the phone's screen and allow the use of a keyboard, and may need power input, unless I can power it with the phone upside down in the pixel stand. If nothing else, a working plain Ethernet adapter, and I will use Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Google sells one for their 4k chromecast, but they fail to specify if it will work for Ethernet tethering on the Pixel 7 Pro.

I haven't been able to get anything to work with stability on either of my two docks so I don't have a large enough selection to make a definitive statement on the support, but the farthest I've gotten is using my dock that has an RTL8153A-4. It will work for a bit, but when pushing enough data it'll end up resetting. Hits up to 400Mbps but then it drops out. That's par for the course with early RTL8153 chips. It's also a terrible dock and the seller has been banned from Amazon for one reason or another, so can add that on too.
On the other hand I have a more modern Yottamaster NVMe dock that I use with my Steam Deck and it works great. Surprisingly, it is almost fully functional on my phone except for display (obviously know why) and Ethernet. It's using the RTL8153B-2, but I can't get any data to pass over it. The r8152 kernel driver reports that it can't load the firmware, because the phone doesn't have any firmware from linux-firmware outside of what is needed for the hardware internally. Both the kernel driver and Ethernet system report when a cable is connected and the carrier is on, but nothing makes it over the cable.
The first dock you linked also has an RTL8153, so at this point I'm guessing newer revision RTL8153 support is just broken on the phones without the ability to load firmware for them. The second dock you linked inspires some confidence that it will have an AX88178 controller in it, but I've looked at docks recently on Amazon and ones that list AX88178/AX88179 are apparently silently subbing them out for the RTL8153 according to reviews. You're going to have to plug it in to your computer to check what the Ethernet controller shows up as.
Best course of action I can see is to either try to find a dock with an AX88178 in it if your second dock actually has an RTL8153 in it, or get an older USB 2.0 RTL8152 adapter since those are more reliable although that restricts you to 10/100.
It's a bit of an older model but I have been using an Aukey CB-C71 with a Pixel 7 Pro and previously Pixel 6 Pro with ethernet, USB-PD, USB keyboard, and USB wireless mouse. I have used USB PD with everything from the original Nexus 6p chargers to various Windows and Mac laptop chargers without issues.

I'm curious, do you know what chipset the CB-C71 uses? I have another adapter on the way from Amazon, if that doesn't work out I may try the CB-C71 or a device with a similar chipset.

RTL8153B-2, interesting that it doesn't have any issues.
I found an adapter that works: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGHKLSPG?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details It is gigabit, with power port. It works without its power plugged in and the phone upside down on the powered pixel stand. I would still like to buy a real hub with gigabit ethernet for the P7P, if someone finds one.
This Anker one works just fine

That meets most of my specs. The problem is only 4k 30hz HDMI. If I want to use it with a 4k 60hz device that can use the HDMI output, (obviously not the crippled Pixel line) I would be downgrading.
