I recently purchased a Samsung T7 SSD specifically to use as extra storage for my Note 20 Ultra. Upon unboxing, I noticed that when connecting drive to phone with supplied USB-C to USB-C cable, the drive will not power on (no lights on drive). My phone will not recognize anything is connected at all. I then connected the drive to to my computer and it instantly powers on, I quickly unplugged it and connected it to my phone and the drive lit up and connected as it should. After unplugging and waiting 10 seconds or so, and reconnecting, nothing happens, no lights, nothing. I can even connect it to the usb-c input on the media center of my vehicle to power it on and then quickly plug it up to my phone and it will work fine.
I did do a restart of my phone with the drive plugged in and upon phone reboot the device was powered up, but it still will not get any power from port upon cold connection.
Any help or tips are greatly appreciated.

Welcome to XDA. I hope you'll always get the support you require.
However, I've moved your initially wrong placed thread also to the Q&A section and am closing this as its duplicate:
Problem using Samsung T7 SSD with N20 Ultra 5G

I suggest to study the XDA Forum Rules as you agreed to adhere to them when you registered a few hours ago. Maybe currently focus on rule no. 5 and post only ONCE! If you recognise that you posted in a wrong forum, please report your thread instead of creating duplicates. We're happy to move the thread. Thanks for your cooperation.

I need to connect my pen drive to Motorola Atrix 2. I have tried getting the OTG cable , but it does not detect it, I assume that the 5 Volt requirement is not met as the USB never lights up as it always should.
I would like to know whether it is possible to achieve the same with a Micro USB hub ( http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/613308120/3_port_usb_hub_for_micro_USB.jpg )
The connection is like USB male port connected to the charger/laptop and micro usb to the phone while Pen Drives to the female port.
Has anyone done this before? If it is not possible is there any other way?
There is already a thread for this, right here in the Q&A section. I found it within seconds of reading this. If I can find it, you can too. Please search and read before posting questions that have already been answered. Also read the forum rules found here:

Hi.
I recently got an old computer set up that doesn't have Wi-Fi, or an Ethernet cable running nearby. I was delighted to find that I could instead use my Note 3 to provide it with internet. The problem is that the phone doesn't change nearly as quickly on usb, and it appeared to be discharging when I was using it.
The question is, is it possible to make a micro usb cable with two usb male ends, one that goes into an adapter to charge from the wall, and the other to go into a pc to transfer data?
I looked around and apparently no one shares this twisted fantasy, so I figured someone on here can tell me whether it's at all possible.
Thanks in advance
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. It's probably possible, if you split the cable correctly then theoretically it should work. I can't find anything relating to this on XDA though, but you should be able to find technical schematics for USB cable wiring conventions pretty easily on the interwebz.
Good luck!
Thread closed, thanks.
My s3 has something with my pc..i used the same cable on a friend's laptop...working just fine..i changed the rom..still nothing(i have a second pc-exactly the same motherboard-same prbl)

So, my brother bought a new multi purpose cable for his android and asked me to connect his phone to our TV. I was a bit skeptical as to how the phone will recognise the type of output to it needs to produce in order for it to replicate the screen onto the tv
After failing at first, i tried to search in settings, however all it showed under display settings was some wireless options, which is of course not what i am looking for. My brother uses Galaxy s3 mini and sister uses Galaxy s4, connected both devices and nothing happened. i use htc m7, but my phone is only good for charging, it doesnt transfer data (probably a hardware issue, i transfer files wirelessly, so never went about repairing it)
I am attaching a picture of the cable for your reference. Any guidance in the right direction is much appreciated
Thanks!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I don't think it's going to be possible to connect your device to the tv. Although not for your device, I did find some threads that discuss this:

Did you try to check the cable, because something similar happened to me with a pny external ssd disk and the cable was the problem

Yes, I tried several other cables with no luck. They all do the same. The cable that came with the drive works fine in with every other device I plug it into. Is there a setting that toggles power output from the phones USB-c port? It seems like the phone is not supplying enough power to the drive to start it up.
