I have been using a ps2-active usb adapter to run my old clicky keyboard to my A200, but thought that I will be upgrading to a 500 or 510 or 700 shortly so was going to try a micro usb-> female full sized usb cable since the full sized usb port is missing on most current tablets. I bought one on amazon but didn't get any connection and then saw it was a OTG cable after I ordered. I wasn't even sure to check first hand if there is any difference between a micro -> female full usb port cable that is OTG vs. non-OTG... or if I just have a defective cable.
Hi
Now that Note 3 has a USB 3.0 charging port, is there a way to use the old Micro USB cable just for charging?
I have Note 2 & have four chargers with Micro USB cable for Home, Office, Travel & Car.
If I upgrade, all this will go waste. So I want to know if I can use these cabls for chargin purpose for N3.
Also is there a converter for Micro USB to USB 3.0 for charging purpose etc?
Pl do share options for me
Thanks

Search and you shall find your answer. It's backward compatible as mentioned in the other threads.

It`s a dual port.You can use your old cables with it.
You will notice that the USB 3.0 cable seems to consist of two connected parts - there's a reason for this, and that's because it does consist of two connected parts!
Regular MicroUSB cables can be inserted in the "wider" part of the USB 3.0 port.

Female micro-USB 3.0 connectors have always fit male micro-USB 2.0 cables just fine. Anyone who's owned a 2.5" USB 3.0 external HDD could've told you that years ago. The extra pins fit beside the existing 2.0 pins. It's the only way that makes sense.
Hey, i just received my usb 3 cable (my s5 came with usb2...) and i think i got a fake one...
I bought it from here: ebay.com/itm/291161252997?var=590311054317&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Now the problem is, when i plug cable in it USB options there is no "Media device (USB 3.0)" option... Which if i am not mistaken should appear?
I don't understand... 190 cables sold and no one is complaining... Maybe i am doing something wrong?
You might connect it to a USB 3.0 Port, are you sure that you connected it in 3.0 port?

Yes i am sure i connected to usb 3.0 port. I just found out that my external monitor connected via usb using same type cable as i ordered (but it's very short cable) and it is usb 3.0. Tried connecting with it and now i can see that option. So i guess that means i got fake cable...

Based from my experience, buying micro USB charging/data cable for Samsung is tricky since the wiring may not be the same as the normal USB cable. There should be 5 pins on the micro end, but sometimes there are just 4. But Samsung uses only 4 pins that might have been rewired. I'm not sure whether only Samsung does this or the same can be said of the other brands, but they may be the cause why there are microusb cables being sold that does only charging and no data function, and vice versa. And sometimes the pins may not be protruding out enough to make contact with the phone's charging pins.
I hope this helps.
You should try plugging in another USB 3.0 device such as a USB stick to determine whether the fault lies within your computer or the eBay cable!
Hello
Apologies if this has been asked before. I can't find a definitive answer...
Has anyone managed to get access to an USB memory stick on the OnePlus 2 actually working?
I've just received my OnePlus 2 and have rooted it etc. I have bought a couple of USB type C to USB A female sockets, both claiming to support OTG. However, neither of them appear to work. I've tried with a number of different USB sticks, some of them with indicator LEDs on them. When plugging them in, the LED indicator stays off and there is no extra drive in settings/storage, even after ticking the OTG check box.
I have booted to TWRP recovery and tried to mount the OTG storage. The phone vibrates and the check box immediately disappears...
I'm not sure if I'm missing something here!
The two items I have tried are:
1. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00VGF2UPQ
2. http://m.belkin.com/uk/p/P-F2CU036/
Thanks for your time

Similar situation with me too:
So I have both of these adapters:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00W5BL1N2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00XLF1BZ4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
Neither seem to work for me? I am trying to connect to a flight control board, so using a normal USB -> Micro USB, but the boards in question do not receive any power, nevermind data!
Any ideas?
Grr....
it seems that the problem is that does not support USB 3.1 (and do not know if not 3.0), the adapter must be old (not blue)
Both the OTG adapters I have support USB 2.0/3.0 and 3.1, but neither of them work.
What you are saying is you need a USB Type-C 2.0 adapter? Not seen those anywhere, are you sure they exist?
Same here. Doesn't work, using an adapter with a micro USB OTG cable doesn't work (this combo cable/Kingston USB 3 key works very well with OPO)
And it doesn't work either with this OTG cable

Stupid question but did you guys enabled otg option in your storage settings. I just received my Oneplus 2 yesterday and I saw that setting and enabled it. I am still waiting for OPO's C adapter that's out of stock on Amazon India and only then I can verify whether that really does make a different or not.

I've now tried with OTG micro usb adaptors that work with other phones and a C->micro usb cable. Nothing works [emoji22]

I've just tested this adapter from this brand PQI... it's USB 3.1 Type-C to USB Type-A female. OTG works, but I am unable to eject my flash drive in ES Explorer...
Other than this, my no-brand USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable adapter doesn't work for OTG...

and then...

Description doesnt say anything about OTG.
But lets see what happens, good luck.
Any Luck?

What do you mean by the c-adapter? How do you connect it? C-adapter connect to an OTG? Or the OTG is integrated with c-adapter in it?
Cus I bought a separate c-adapter then connect to my micro USB OTG cable..
So upon opening the phone and checking out its little handbook thing, it says they highly recommend using only ZTE cables and adapters to charge their ZTE Axon 7. I am curious how safe it is to plug this phone into my Tronsmart or Anker cables, has anyone had any issues with using anything besides the tiny USB Type C cable?
Also, what about using a long USB cable with the USB micro to USB Type-C adapter, does that work fine?
