I found some microUSB to USB-C adapters and I still plan on using an OTG thumbdrive. I was wondering if anyone has any experience using this and if the OTG will work through a micro to USB-C adapter, or if you need a direct USB-C OTG ? Any suggestions ?
I have all of them, a Type-C thumb drive, Type-C OTG and microUSB OTG, all work well, good luck with it.

It seams that the change to the MHL cable is to allow USB on Go with the same cable

there is a MHL adapter that gives you a male 11 pin micro USB to female HDMI so you can just plug a standard male to male HDMI cable from adapter to TV.
see:
Samsung Galaxy S III MHL to HDMI adapter
Does anyone know if this new adapter will work with the Galaxy Nexus, as well? Also, does it charge the phone--or at least keep it from being drained--when USB OTG is being used? I've been looking for a way to use USB OTG with a flash drive on my GN while also charging/powering the phone. USB OTG is a real power hog.
It should, but on mine it doesn't.
I've got a new MHL cable and a USB OTG cable in the hope I could plug my MHL into the SGS3, use a powered USB hub connected to the Micro USB on the MHL and then connect a keyboard and mouse into the USB hub, then connect the HDMI to the TV.
For me it doesn't work. I thought this was the whole reason they changed the MHL cable to the new type. Can anyone else confirm?

can we get an update on this situation here? How
can we get MHL AND USB OTG?
My reading of the link is that the micro USB port has been repinned to provide USB on the go and not that the cable allows for this.On the mhl cable there is a female HDMI port and a micro USB ( both female) which must be used by the charger.
If the usb connection is also female type, we have to use a usb otg cable to get it work. But at the moment my phone also wont recognize any devices -.-' only mhl and nothing else.
I bought this adapter for 25 euros and want to have it working.
I also asked samsung on facebook 'bout this problem, and everything the told me:
Go support site...
very helpful.
I hope the will enable this feature in a future update.

yes i wonder this.
because, i can not run 2 Game Controllers with usb OTG Cable.
1 controller works but 2 don't work.
how can i use splitter with OTG
I change my phone to xperia x compact recently, I find the type-c USB is easy to use.
I have a otg usb drive with micro usb, which is working on samsung s7, dell tablet. I wonder if it can be used on XC.
Thanks
Not sure about your micro USB OTG drive, but I purchased a separate OTG type-C adapter which connects to my USB card reader just fine.
I tried to use a type-c to micro USB adapter, it doesn't work. Maybe I have to buy a type-c otg adapt first.

May I know what brand is your adaptor? I tried a couple of OTG type-C microSD card readers, but none of them work.. it simply don't seem to be providing power to the adaptor.
I could use a mouse using:
mouse -> usb to micro usb otg from z1 compact -> micro to usb c adapter

Even this doesn't work for me. My phone seems not being able to act as USB host and not recognising anything plugged in the type-c port. My phone is rooted, not sure if it's the cause.
I use the sony type-c dual flash drive and it works flawlessly
Still not working. I used a voltage reader and found that there is no voltage coming out of the USB port, no wonder it won't detect anything. No sure if my phone is faulty (doubt it, as the port works perfectly when it is USB client) or due to setting/rom/kernel...

Do you have a pop up screen asking you what to do when you connect anything to the USB port?
BTW, my USB OTG adapter is of a brand REMAX.
no, nothing happens as if the phone does not know something is connected. but works ok when connected to another host (pc or power source)
i'm using rooted 7.1.1 stock rom

Thanks! Finally i got it to work. Sorry that I had been trying type-c usb reader instead of a true type-c otg adaptor + reader... so, it fact it would work with a type-c otg adaptor.
hey,
normally you would need an otg cable to drive an external usb dac.
does it make a difference, that this phone has no headphone jack
and therefore has standard audio output over usb or do i still need
an otg cable?
best regards, willert.

if only using an USB-C to 3,5mm adapter you don´t but for any DAC you need an OTG AdapterCable.
just for reference i use this one and it works perfectly:
http://hifimediy.com/DACs/ready-made-dacs/Sabre-9018-Type-C-DAC
thanks for your answer!
but are usb-c to 3.5 adapters basically dac's?
although they then probably also just use an otg cable
this is the one i am planning to use with me pro 3 when it arrives: http://www.head-fi.org/products/cozoy-aegis-portable-24-192-dac-amp
Which branded OTG cable does work perfectly in oneplus 2? I have one type-c OTG & one usb-c adapter. Neither of them work.
