Hey guys,
just wondering if anyone knows whether you could setup an ethernet connection directly to your Oneplus 2 using an adapter like this?
Hi,
I've actually tried this for fun just 2 days ago with this adapter, I'm usually using it for my Dell XPS 15:
http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=de&l=de&s=dhs&cs=dedhs1&sku=470-ABND
And no, it won't work nor detect the adapter at all.
My guess is that the adapter is connected using USB 3.0 internally, which is not supported by the OnePlus Two.
Do we figure it would work if it was USB 2.0 inside?
Not necessarily, because quite a few USB Type C to Micro-USB B 2.0 adapters won't work with the OnePlus Two either.
To my knowledge only the original (overpriced) adapter and a Xiaomi one are actually working, so either them or the other manufacturers are differing from the standard USB Type C 2.0 pinout.
If you want to save yourself some hassle I'd say you should go for an Ethernet to Micro-USB B one and add the Xiaomi adapter to it.
A kernel with proper Ethernet-support is also needed, LordBoefflas Kernels include a kernel-module for this, you can enable it inside the "Boeffla-Config v2" app.

Anybody figure out why the both charging port and charging cable that the phone comes with, have what looks like a double plug? One is a common micro USB port, and it seems that I can charge the phone with any old Android charger, as it will fit in this port. The other kind of looks like a USB port that you'd see on a digital camera. Just wondering what this is for, and why the provided cable has both.
Thanks in advance!

It's a USB 3.0 port and cable. It allows for faster data transfer speeds when connected to a USB 3.0 port on a computer.
It's backwards compatible with USB 2.0, which is why you can also use the other cables with the phone.

You are half correct.... The right side is the micro usb port the left side is MHL 2.0, another version of HDMI out. You need a $13 adapter for this to work. Why Samsung put both on the same cable beats me.

Not true.
MHL works through the standard microUSB portion of the plug, just like it does on many other devices. The additional thinner side is to accommodate the changes for USB 3.0. The Note 3 was the first phone to use a USB 3.0 cable and have a USB 3.0 Micro-B port on the device, and Samsung is following suit with the S5. Samsung has been supporting MHL 2.0 since the S4, which only had a standard microUSB port, so there was no need to switch to a new port design just for that. And if you look at the MHL adapter you mentioned, it has a standard microUSB plug. The HTC One, HTC One Max, and HTC One (M8) (among other devices) also have MHL 2.0, and do so through a standard microUSB port. The extended port on the S5 (and Note 3) is for USB 3.0. It's not there for MHL.
And the Engadget review that you linked doesn't support your post, rather it just notes that the port supports MHL (which it supports it through the standard microUSB portion of the port).
Interesting. I got my $12 adapter in today and sure nuff, it is usb port only. Thanks, now I find this out I think that is stupid of Samsung to put the USB 3.0 extension as another port. Not that I use it that often....

There was no other way for them to add USB 3.0 functionality to the device while allowing backwards compatibility with microUSB 2.0. They wanted everyone to have the option of still being able to use their old microUSB 2.0 cables along with a different USB 3.0. I think it was definitely the right move instead of introducing a completely new plug that's not backwards compatible.
That said, a new USB 3.0 plug is coming that's not backwards compatible with USB 2.0 microUSB cables. It's been recently approved, but I'm not sure when we'll start seeing it on the devices.

Check out the USB plug. See the blue plastic insert? Denotes SS super drives. Huge transfer speeds

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...

http://www.ebuyer.com/717886-datatraveler-microduo-64gb-3c-usb-3-1-dtduo3c-64gb

and then...

It's not looking good....

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..
I've got a Seek Thermal CompactXR infra-red camera that I bought recently and since it has a micro-usb connector and the 6P has a usb-c connector it needs an adaptor. Got the recommended one by Seek - VicTsing - but it does not work, the camera will no connect to the phone.
The camera works fine, I've used it on the girlfriend's phone.
I've also got a small usb inspection camera that runs off a micro-usb port on a mobile phone, but it too doesn't work on my 6P.
So I'm beginning to think that something isn't working properly with the usb port on my phone, not sure if it's a physical problem or something in the soft/firmware set-up that I need to click or unclick, etc.
Any ideas on how I can fully check that the usb port is working on the phone please?
Anyone?
Make sure you use a compatible USB-C to micro USB adapter. Not all of them will work properly. I also remember something about Google didn't want adapters to work, that's why you'll need a cable I think. What kind of adapter are you using?
As mentioned in my post, it's a VicTsing and is recommended by Seek. It's a USB-C to Micro USB converter.
Hi everybody!
I'm having an issue with my device.
I connect it to my pc with Thunderbolt cable, but it's not detected.
No way to transfer files option or other connection option, since the option in Bluetooth and Connection window doesn't' appear at all.
Any solution?
Thanks!
Has thunderbolt 4 the same stick as USB-C,right?
Use the cable that you got with the device, if you don't have USB-A on your pc, you probably have an dongle?
There is a difference between USB C and thunderbolt, even if they use the same stick they have different protocols.
Also don't open on another thread, because you got now answer on the first one.

Sure, but afaik thunderbolt 3 cables are backwards compatible with usb-C. Also there is no thunderbolt 4 (at the time of writing) cables.
I see the ethernet is actually a daughterboard, which is connected by a ribbon cable. Anyone think there is a chance this is just a USB-to-Ethernet hub? If it is, it would be an easy mod to swap over to a USB port, which would dramatically enhance the functionality of the non pro version. Why they didn't do this in the first place amazes me... it looks like a 10 pin ribbon cable though, so not sure if it's USB...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-C-zfOjrmc
I'm interested in adding a USB port myself. But the mainboard has a Realtek chip (according to photos at fccid.io), which I assume is an ethernet chip. I have however seen people mention a soldered USB connector somewhere, but I haven't been able to find where.
Did you ever manage to find something out? I'd be happy even with SPI.
Can't you just use an OTG Y cable? Considering that is how the Firesticks handle USB via its micro port I don't see why Nvidia wouldn't have done that as well. Course I have the pro so I know nothing about the tube.
