Is is possible to use USB to ethernet adapters over OTG on the LG G6?
Just out of curiosity, why would you need this?

To have a faster connection and avoid using microwave radio. The Google Nexus and Google Pixel offer the feature, for example, while most manufacturers removed it.

More stable and secure connection. Faster connection. Use your phone as a hotspot.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ have been announced, with Dex docking station supporting Ethernet. Let's see if it supports the RJ45 over OTG also.
Forget this phone, LG V20 and Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ support OTG USB to ethernet adapters. See more here:

I am interested in ethernet connectivity also on the G6. Has anyone found a way/rom/kernel which supports this?

Finally could test my LG G6 H870DS, and works out of the box with USB to ethernet adapters, just like the LG V20 H990DS. Here are some screenshots and a link to the V20 thread for comparison:

Great info,
Is it working for non rooted LG G6 ? (I ask LG for this, but LG said no)
Thanks

Of course I have it stock, unrooted, but note that mine is the 64GB version, the H870DS. check the exact version of yours.

Okay !
Unfortunately I haven't got LG G6 actually. I plan to buy the european version (32gb more easy to find)
I'm sure that LG has activated Ethernet function by error... Moreover, ethernet function on recents android smartphones is too rare. Nevertheless ethernet stay a usefull internet connexion.

You are totally wrong, because it's just the opposite. Samsung newer phones do support all of them ethernet adapters over usb-c, specially because they are supporting more and more docking stations. The problem with all mobile operating systems is that you can't have root access, so you are tied with the drivers provided by the manufacturer.

I think the confusion was with the SD adapter. It said "8.9 only" on Samsung CTIA slide. Hopefully they'll have one.
Anyone else think it's a bit of a con to release these all as separate adapters (i.e. if you want HDMI then that's an adapter, USB is another adapter, SD card slot is another adapter). I think Samsung could have put all those connections into a single adapter. Also, it's weird how the HDMi adapter has a little bit of cable to give some flex in the connection where as the USB adapter is just a single block.

Considering how big these adapters are, shame they couldn't put USB and SD or USB and HDMI or all three on a single adapter.
Even the media port doesn't appear to have HDMI out it, looks like it has another 30 pin port on the back and you have to buy the HDMI adapter for that.
All these adapters, all being sold separately is gonna get quite pricey too. Even Apple was compassionate enough to sell the USB and SD adapter in a single kit for $30 (saving $10 over buying each separately for $20).
PS. Though I imagine some third party might save us and come up with some adapter that combines multiple things together. They've done it with the iPad adapters.
Ugh these accessories are such a rip off. $19.99 for the damned additional data cable?! The hdmi cable port is also $29.99, just absolutely ridiculous. I'll prob eventually snag one regardless... :-/

Most definitely. This tablet is going to have so much aftermarket accessory support, we won't know where to begin.

With the exception of jump drives, most USB devices have their own cable.
Does anyone know if the HDMI converter works with the 7" Tab?
You guys are lucky to see accessories, the UK mob don't even have a clue about the 10.1
$40 for HDMI!?! Are they ****ing serious?! Who do they think they are? Apple?!

Is it possible to use this cheap 5-pin Micro-USB, type B - male to 4 pin USB typ A - female adapter to plug in a usb-keyboard to the note?
Or is it something special about these OTG-cables?
Please see the attached file.

I have tried a simple adaptor and it did not work - there are very similar looking adaptors that are OTG though.
Personally, I prefer to use a mini Bluetooth keyboard with integral "mouse" touchpad or an OTG cable to connect a similar USB keyboard rather than an OTG adaptor as I worry that I may lever the adaptor by catching it and cause damage by the straining the micro USB socket in the Note.
When you plug in an OTG adaptor or cable, the Note comes up with the message "USB connector connected" - a plain adaptor does not cause a message.
The picture below shows, from top to bottom, OTG USB adaptor connector, OTG USB adaptor lead, Wireless mini keyboard with mouse "touchpad", Bluetooth mini keyboard with mouse "touchpad".
Both mini keyboards came with wireless or bluetooth receivers which do not work with the Note as, I assume, they need "Windows" type drivers. The Wireless one cannot therefore be used with the Note (even though it also has a mini USB connection - probably only for charging use) whereas the Bluetooth one does work can as it connects using the inbuilt Android/Note bluetooth rather than using the supplied mini USB bluetooth receiver.
Hope this helps!

USB-OTG (they're all the same) works perfectly with some USB keyboards and mouses but not with all of them. I'm using Genius mouse and Microsoft Wired 200 keyboard.
Thanks, i'll try it. If it works it works
btw, neat bluetooth keyboard/mouse you got there!
I have a mini-wireless USB keyboard/trackpad from Kogan that looks closer to the mini-Bluetooth one in the 2nd post, and that works fine with my usb2Go adaptor and the Note. I know both look similar, but the button configuration under the trackpad on mine is the same as the Bluetooth one.
I like the idea of the bluetooth one mind you!

Dave

Thanks for that info, very useful. I'm considering getting one, can you advise where you got yours (a link would be great, if not, a manufacturer name and/or part number would do ... worst case can you advise approx price & dimensions?)
Although I have a USB one I bought from Kogan, this thread made me aware that there were now bluetooth ones too, so I've just ordered this one from Ebay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rii-Mini-i6-Bluetooth-IR-Keyboard-Touchpad-2-1-UK-Latest-Version-2011-/250901297139?pt=UK_Computing_ComputerComponents_KeyboardsMice&hash=item3a6ae1f7f3#ht_2215wt_905
It seems to be a slightly later design/model than the one shown in the 2nd post here, but you can find that too if you search ebay with the term "mini bluetooth keyboard rii".
Regards,
Dave
looks good - the universal learning IR remote is a nice add-on too. Let us know how it performs when you get it ...
meantime, I see you've got a wireless USB k/b already working via USB OTG. I'm awaiting my OTG adaptor so I can try that out with my existing (compact, but not mini) wireless k/b with optical trackball. Not sure how much current the Note can supply for OTG usage but I guess I can just use a powered hub if required?
Hi guys,
can anyone help me get my MHL connection working with i9505 running CM12?
I bought a new MHL adapter (one side microUSB - charging port - HDMI out + reduction for micorUSB for S3) then I connected to my Samsung TV (older model like 4 years) and ... nothing happened on both sides. The only thing I saw was a phone charging from the adapter (because of external charger). Do I need to modify something, or is it my TV not supporting?
Appreciate help
bump --- really no one using MHL adapters?

Hi!
I've got some information, I think I can help you.
First is support for HDMI in CM12, i checked it on SaberMod CM12 and it's works. I dont know what with another CM12, CM11, MIUI build, TW rom support that but Live Demo Unit soft (S4 with Retail Mode and without GSM) no.
Second, what type of MHL you have?
- MHL1 with 5-pin cable - this is for S2, Note (1) Glalaxy Nexus and some another. Probably incompatible.
- MHL1 with 11-pin cable - for S3, Note 2, S4 and Note 3 work good
If you have MHL with 11-pin cable and it's not working you may use another reduction for micorUSB, maybe your is damaged or MHL is damaged.

thanks for answer!!!
The adapter is new and is for the newer models - Note 2,3 S3,4 - I tried connecting from microUSB and also with the reduction for S3 (different shape of a connector a little) - but still no go. TV saying no signal. Let's assume my connector is not broken (everything else works)
I am on AntaresOne's CM12 optimized. so I will try to ask in the thread you posted - maybe ther are some modification of the ROM inside which allows MHL.
and also with the reduction for S3 (different shape of a connector a little)

What you mean? S4 like S3 have the same microUSB port, can't be another shape of connector. The best way it to show your MHL cable. I have that:

I tried the microUSB reduction exactly as on your picture - the very left one (they probably forget to put S4 label on it - only S3 label for the reduction - so I tried both ...)

I'm sorry, but I have to ask to be sure - you connect microUSB to S4, big usb to power (usb charger/usb port in TV) and HDMI to TV?

I have slightly different model: I connected the (s3) reduction to the adpter microUSB - connect to phone. Then take my charger and connect it to the body of the adapter. Then the whole system is connected to HDMI.

I understand, like I say before you use reduction from 11-pin to 5-pin, this is for older device. Don't use it

Hi all,
I know every OPT user is quite annoyed with Opt not having NFC or Wireless Charging.
There are also no other options available as far as i researched!
But., will thid idea work?
Connecting a qi wireless receiver micro usb type (as no usb c type was created yet) and using it through type c to micro usb adapter towards phone port finally?

How can using that with a type C adaptor? You have to plug/unlug each time for a wireless charging? Or your phone has that 'tail' all the time?
Furthermore, the charging speed is really slow, charging via USB cable on OP2 is already slow enough

I purchased a pair of OnePlus Type-C Bullets Earphones. The description says there is an internal DAC. But the phone doesn't recognize the USB audio.
I've searched the forum, and someone said they work https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/accessories/oneplus2-supports-type-c-headphones-t3842450
The "Disable USB Audio Routing" in developers option is set to OFF already.
I don't have a USB-C female to USB male adapter so I can't test the earphones on my PC.
I'm currently using Lineage OS 16.0 nightly. Is it Lineage OS's bug? I have not tried stock ROM yet, anyone?

Please check before buying. OnePlus 2 uses the very first USB C version and it's outdated (There are different versions of USB C, similar to USB A). Any OTG or headphones with USB C functionality won't work on OP2. Hope that solved your problem.

I'm not sure why, maybe because the OTG's version matches with the phone's. I have tried like 6-7 products and none of them seemed to work for me. The only way I could get it to work was by using a USB C to micro-USB converter and a normal OTG (not type C). But that's irrelevant, what matters is that type C bullets won't work.
I use the normal bullets with headphone jack.
