a little bit off topic but I have bought 2 USB OTG cables off eBay and neither works with my Z ultra, but they do work with the wife's Note 3. Does anyone know if there's a setting I'm maybe forgetting to turn on or if I need a specific cable?
There's no power at all going to the devices I connect, have tried everything from keyboards, thumb drives and dualshock controllers.

The one i bought from Amazon a year ago works perfect, it was $1.99
I didn't do anything special to get USB OTG working.
It could be that your USB device is drawing too much power, which a Note could manage but the XZU can't?
I don't (yet) have this phone, so maybe I'm missing something...
Why not flip the phone the other way, so the USB port is on the top?
the fully rectangular version is from when not all devices supported otg so they made them that way as a sort of failsafe to stop unsupported devices being tampered with (i personally believe it was to coin in further on cable replacements on high end devices)
if you have one of the old rectangular otg cables laying about just carefully file away at the edges a little bit until it fits smoothly (dont force it!!)...
tested with an old nokia n8 cable on my lg g2 and it works just fine!!!

the book cover/case I use has a crease so it can act as a stand, and the phone ends up held with the USB port bottom/right. It then leaves the mag charge port free for power.

Is there a cable for the prime for USB host? I want a USB port but so far I can only find cables for the Galaxy tab or for micro USB ports. I don't want the keyboard dock, I have my laptop for computing. I just want a cable for it. So far I can only find the Asus dongle for the TF101(compatible right? Same proprietary port?), but that's only for an SD card, not a USB-female port.
Do you mean this? If you need to hook up a usb device to the prime, you need a dongle like the one below.

good question, i was looking at picking one of these up so i could use my ps3 controller with my prime's included charging cable.....
http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Female-5-Pin-Male-Adapter/dp/B002S7PS8M
USB female to mini-usb male.
would this work and do i really need to shell out for that box, i just don;t understand what exactly it does, i think for what i'm trying to do it should be fine, i could see the issues when trying to use a usb hdd as i could see more drivers needed to even access the data from the drive....i would think a ps3 controller would just show up....any suggestions or buying some extra box to carry around 100% necessary....

Bought this last week thinking the same thing.
Does not recognize devices. Something is weird about the dock cable.
I was trying to pair my PS3 controller, I ended up doing it with the keyboard port instead.
On a somewhat related note, I dont recommend you buy the item at that link. I ended up chucking mine out because it was too loose to hold the cables in... and its mustard yellow...eww
I've yet to confirm this myself, but I believe the dock connector uses different pins for "USB Host" (ex: plugging in a controller to the tablet) and "USB Device" (ex: plugging the tablet into a PC) modes. Using a USB Female-Female adapter, as others above have proven, will not work.
Wait...I spoke to soon, the link above is useless. It's backordered and I can't find it anywhere else. Anyone have an idea?
I got mine from microcenter, in tustin, ca. There might still be one there. And yea I first tried a female to female adapter on the usb charging cable it came with and no dice. However this adapter does work. Plugged my 360 controller in and played some shadowgun.
So I got upgraded from my Note2 to Note 3 and discover that the charging/data connector is the type that looks like the end that goes into a USB 3 hard drive.
I previously purchased some right-angled Micro-USB adapters for my Note 2 - they look like this, but I'm not sure if this is the actual product I bought.

What I'm looking for is the equivalent type of right-angle adapter but for the USB-3 type of connector used for the Note 3.This way the connection is safer and easier to handle as the cable is not sticking straight out of the bottom, but running parallel to the device's bottom edge - even in landscape mode. If you're using it while you're lying in bed while it's charging you can rest the phone on your belly and not risk tweaking the connection.

Hey - that's it! I followed the link and found some black ones that i purchased. Only thing I'm worried about is the Samsung detecting the different cable and throwing up the nag message or not even charging at full speed. It did this with a different cable I took from one of my portable hard drives. I'll report back if there are problems.
Thanks for tracking that down!
Doh!
If anyone else missed it - if you just need charging, it's totally unecessary. My old micro-usb connectors work just fine plugged into the right-most side of the Note 3's USB3 connector - I discovered this by just plugging one of them in by force of habit and realizing it worked!

The only "nag" is a warning about USB3 file transfers affecting your signal, which happens with the stock cable too. In my Alienware m11x r3 it doesn't charge any faster in the USB3 ports according to the app that reads the charging rate (450mA). The USB2 port that remains powered with the system off actually charges at 1,200mA when not in host mode (off or asleep). It'll do that with a standard microUSB 2.0 B cable too.
Anyway, I prefer the full microUSB 3.0 B connector because it is stronger (distributes force), so I also bought some right-angle adapters from eBay. Mine are black and seem intended for mounting in a dock of some kind due to screw posts. I ordered a left and a right angle one, even though the pics are the same for both. They'll be here soon!
Hello Guys,
I don't know is should start this thread or not, just thought i should share this amazing device.
Black MHL To HDMI HDTV Adapter OTG Card Reader Connection Kit
It let you connect to HDMI without external power, also if you use external power you can use HDMI and USB hard drive at the same time, it is just really really amazing, Sammy has really improved their MHL and OTG support.
Note: I am using this device on my Note 3 N9005 I am not sure about other devices

Black MHL To HDMI HDTV Adapter OTG Card Reader Connection Kit
Mhl 2.0?
Iv been dealing with these for about a year now. From my s3 to my note 3. With the s3 it's 2.0 so you have to provide external power but these things are the tits when it comes to the note 3 with 3.0 you can run USB and HDMI without power. I play games and use it for work with all wireless accessories it's awesome. Supports 1080p at 60hrtz. We sell them in our repair shop and on Ebay. Not often though as "normal" people don't see the capabilities of this lol.
Go buy one their awesome.

Is there something like this that has a port for charging? I wanted something like this to hook up to a monitor or an HDTV so I could play my emulators on a big screen.

It's not immediately apparent, but the device pictured (and others like it, one of which I have) do have a port for charging: the micro usb. When I got mine it took me a minute to realize that, then it hit me that power would really be the only use for that port. So I plug one of my Sammy charging cables into it during use.

Oh, derp. I didn't even see the small port there, looked like a small microSD card slot. Thanks for pointing that out!
How do you use this darn dev?
Any way to disable USB charging?
dafuk?? .....
Im guessing you use like an mhl cable or something in that nature where you need the data connectivity but not the power from the cable?
Then well strip the cable and remove the power lines. RED and BLACK and solder together.
Or manufacture a modul. Lets say you buy a usb extension cord. Break that cable and remove the power cable. Plug in the extension cord between the micro usb cable and mhl or whatever device you're using.
Or I dunno... I think you need to explain y u ask this question..

Doing that won't break otg connectivity, since the 5th pin is also used for sync..?

Then I believe it won't be functioning as otg anymore.
Overall - that's why I wanted on/off hack to turn this on demand only (night charging...).
Yes you are right. Looking at this photo the ground is being actively used for turning regular cable into OTG with pin 4 to pin 5

What you could try and the only thing you really can do here. Is to cut the vcc (red) cable and solder on a switch. Perhaps buy a box to feed the cable through. Drill a hole for the switch. Solder on the vcc cable from the usb cable.
A switch like this, or a screw on model.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/5Pcs-Black-...908?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27fe925acc
A box
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Junction-Ad...961?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33a3085b49
Or you could buy a ready made kit
http://www.ebay.com/itm/AC-380V-10A...0&pid=100005&rk=1&rkt=6&sd=330789747574&rt=nc
Flip the switch before u go to bed and turn it off when its done.
From looking at the first picture in theory cutting the vcc cable and turning it from nc to no would just stop the device from charging. But I am not sure. Because there is as you say data actively being fed for the OTG interface.
The two things that can happen is
1: The device stops charging
2: The device loses OTG connection and stops charging
So yeah.. If you have some spare time to take in. Try it and see what happens.
Has anyone tried the desktop mode on the V60, or at least confirm that it has one? I've seen demonstrations on the V50 when it got the Android 10 update and that would do me.

Thanks so much for that, I've asked in a few places and this is the first answer I've had. I guessed a desktop mode would have there but you never know.
The V60 looks like a good replacement for my Note9 later in the year. I just need to be able to buy one in the UK.

It's the same as the V50 & G8X, so a proper desktop mode but not as advanced as DeX. I have a NexDock 2 and use it with Samsung DeX and Huawei Easy Projection all the time. Looking at videos of LGs desktop mode it will do a reasonable job, which is all I need. Once Linux on DeX went away and Samsung dropped the 3.5mm headphone port I realised that I needed something different for my next device.
Can someone give a short how to?
I used a USB-c hub that has HDMI. I connected the hub to the USB-c port, and the monitor the the HDMI. It does not work with the magnetic port, it seems. (Though the magnetic port does support connecting to a computer with USB). You get a desktop, and can use the phone itself as a trackpad. If the hub has power in, you can keep the phone powered.
It is really too bad about the magnetic port, since I like to keep the phone in the dual case, and am afraid that too much in and out of the case will damage the UCR port of the phone...

So I have the same concern and never take mine out of the dual screen case. Could it be the cable used doesn't have all the pins needed internally and this may work? I can't see how it would work to a computer and not a TV.

never mind. USB-C is 22 active pins. That explains why the 12 pin magnetic connector doesn't work for HDMI.
