USB Devices not working correctly - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers

Has anyone else ran into an issue where their USB devices such as OTG and Audio DACs/Amps won't work correctly if at all using both a third party OTG cable/adapter and the supplied Samsung USB-C to USB OTG adapter? For example I plug in a thub drive into the included OTG adapter it pops up for a split second in ES File explorer before dissapearing and the phone seems to be stuck in Charging the connected USB device mode as well. This has happened with both Android 7 and Android 8 on my AT&T S8 also my FiiO E18 seems to get stuck in Charging the connected USB device as well even tho the FiiO E18 itself can be used to charge the S8 it just will NOT switch to that function in Android even tho that port on the E18 is power OUT only as it has a separate port for Power input for the built in battery. Also I have to restart my phone after plugging in the E18 for the audio function to work. Which is getting annoying. Anyone else seeing these issues and may know a fix? S8 is fully up to date from AT&T

Hello, I have att s8 active unlocked and updated it to the latest stock rom.
When I plug it in my car audio by USB-c cable and I want to listen to spotify music, it only charges but sound comes from the built in phone speaker. I have s7 active also and when I plug it in, it plays through car speakers (micro usb cable). How to enable car audio of s8active to play through car audio?

USB Audio Out Works!!!!

Heads up to all the audio guys out there. Listening to music as I type through my USB DAC > tube amp setup with no special setup. Just USB OTG cable to DAC.
USB Audio Out FTMFW!!!!!
(I'm on AT&T model running ARHD 9.1, not that it matters, I'm sure this feature is universal)
USB OTG to DAC? Do you have an link or pic to such cable?

Just a regular USB OTG connected through the USB cable that comes with the DAC
I have my HTC one with headphone jack to rca cables going into my tube preamp the foreplay. Then from the foreplay to my Dynaco ST70.
YouTube videos sound like garbage bags flapping in the wind.
The tube audio only people would smash my face in if they heard what YouTube sounded like on tubes. Not a good mix at all...

Yep, just a run of the mill standard usb OTG cable and then plug the usb cable from your DAC into it and your good. You'll get the headphone symbology in the status bar and the beats logo although beats appears to be bypassed (which is good) utilizing usb audio out.

Is that version 1.29? I have a T-mobile HTC One with 1.27 and USB DAC wouldn't work with FiiO E7 or JH-3a.
4.3 Update broke the USB audio out session disconnect
I've got the Sprint variant. Loaded the OTA update to 4.3 and now my USB audio gets hung when I disconnect my OTG cable. If I try to plug it in and reconnect later, my handset locks up tighter than Fort Knox. I've tried a factory reset, took a trip to the Sprint repair center (where no one even knew the audio out function existed ) so I'm stuck rebooting my phone between every listening session. Complete PITA. Specifically purchased this phone to use with my Fiio Andes, and everything was great until 4.3.
Does this significantly effect battery life?

LG G6 + Portable DAC?

I have a Fiio E17K and I cannot get the device to work via USB OTG. I tried two different cables to no avail. When plugged, it lists the generic USB options, i.e. Power Supply. I confirmed the DAC works on my old LG G3.
Has anyone gotten a portable DAC to work on their phone through USB OTG?
Just select Midi device when prompted then you're good to go.
I'm using Soundblaster E3.
When I select Midi device, it immediately switches back to Power Supply. I tried 3 different cables from different brands to no avail. I can confirm the amp/dac works on the LG G4 with no issues.
I have the Canadian LG G6 and can confirm USB OTG works in general, when I used an adaptor to use a mouse.
Has anyone figured out a solution? I need to select MIDI for Fiio Q1 to be recognized and then it switches back to Power Supply.

I managed to get my hand on another USB-C phone (Asus ZenFone3) to rule out a cable issue. DAC worked with no issues, so it is definitely a G6 issue. I'm hoping this gets patched or fixed in a future custom rom.
My Zuperdac works fine.
Hei.. just in case you are still checking around. It may take awhile for the LG G6 to register the dac. Therefore, once you plug in. let the song play. and probably wait for up to 30sec or so. O and another thing. You may want to try and select File Transfer. It worked for me also. They did mention for older device.. you can select MTP instead.

Yes i use lg g5 hifi plus dac/amp modul working well!
Two years later my LG G6 does exactly this...plug in my ifi DSD black label and it pops up to change connection type but it FORCES power supply no matter what you pic. And it drains the hell out of the battery. ANYONE figure this out. I see numerous post on this across LG v30 and the like do it too.
I used a Fiio Q1 (amp & DAC) with my G6. This DAC has a charge/no charge button, setting this to off prevents draining the G6's battery. This week I upgraded to a Fiio Q1 MkII, and this newer model doesn't have the charge/no charge button, and it drains my G6's battery very quickly charging its own battery. I modded a micro USB cable after insctructions online (I can't post links to external sites, but search for "Things that you want to know about FiiO Flagship DAC & Amp Q5", scroll to the bottom of the article), I opened the micro USB connector and soldered pin 4 and 5 together. I use this cable and a regular USB-C OTG adaper, and the DAC no longer drains the G6 battery. The "Power supply" mode still appears active on the G6, but no charge is transfered to the Q1 MkII, verified because its charge LED remains off and because the G6's battery discharges at the usual rate. I don't need to change the USB mode to anything else, just leave it on "Power supply". I then spliced the OTG adapter directly to a micro USB cable, shorting pins 4&5 on the micro USB side, this way I have a short, custom cable to connect G6 & Q1 MkII.
Then I found that Fiio offers a USB-C OTG to micro USB cable for their DACs, and according to them it's built with charge disabled. I purchased one from Amazon (can't post link, search for "Fiio CL06 Type C to Micro USB OTG Cable for Fiio Q1 Mark II Q5 M7 etc"), but I'm still waiting for delivery.
Hope this helps
thanks

USB-C Audio stopped working

Hey !
The phone randomly stopped recognizing my USB-C earphones, as well as the ones plugged with the 3.5mm to USB-C adapter.
I already did a full wipe, nothing changed, as well as switching select USB configuration to audio source
The earphones are xiaomi USB-C active noise canceling, and no power is sent to them, so they are fully not detected
What's weird is that the phone is still charging !
Phone is on RR 5.8.5, 7.1.2
Any idea ?
Thanks a lot !
Can you connect phone to computer?
Try your USB-C adapter in another phone, or try another USB-C adapter

Chraging issue with USB devices

Does anyone else have issues where the S8 tries to charge the connected USB device instead of the other way around?
For example I have a FiiO E18 which is a USB based DAC/AMP combo that can be used to charge a phone if need be. The problem is when the FiiO is in Charge out Mode the S8 tries to charge it instead of trying to charge FROM it like it should. The S8 charges from the FiiO when the S8 is completely off tho so it looks like the problem is with Android which is stock and non rooted on my S8. Its fully up to date as well. AKA Android Pie and One UI. I wonder if its becuase of the OTG cable I am using. Its a USB-C to Micro OTG cable I picked up off of Amazon since the FiiO is a Micro device and I have had it since my Note 3/4 days. If I could figure out this charging problem it would be perfect.

If I'm not mistaken you need to swap the otg the other way. If the otg is in s8 it will try to charge. If it's otg from other end it will push

Head phone issues.

I have a Tmobile note 10+ non rooted android 10. I've been using the stock akg headphones and samsung head phone adapter with my bose headphones for a few months.
Today my phone would not recognize the adapter or the stock usbc headphone that came with the phone. It just plays sound from the speakers.
In the notification panel it keeps switching between usb connected and disconnected.
I plugged both pairs of headphones into my wife's s10+ and it works perfectly.
Any suggestions before I factory reset?
It might be the usb port, the otg adapter works? Also, you can check it by connecting your phone to a pc to see if both comunicate, if these tests fail, definitively the usb port is faulty
Check the USB-C port for pocket lint. It's very common for them to get packed with lint over time. This will prevent the USB-C cable/device from fully inserting.
If you have some in there just use something small soft and non-conductive like a tooth pick and some canned air to get it out.
