I recently got hold of an Otg cable, and wanted to use it for connecting a controller to my phone. I plugged everything in, but all the controller did was vibrate. I looked at the notification that popped for the Otg and it said it was at power supply. So I changed it to file transfer. The notification disappeared, then a few seconds later it reappeared and said that it was still acting as a power supply. I tried my friends Otg cable, still the same issue, I then dried an Xbox 360 controller, and still the same issue. I know that others with a v30 have this problem as well, I'm just looking if anyone has a solution that won't cost me any money. So please only reply if you have a solution to this problem.

Well my HDMI was working fine. But since few days it does not anymore. Funny thing is I haven't installed any new firmware since I started using HDMI (there was no new firmware for me in Poland)
Now HDMI looks dead. Prime do not see HDMI cable when plugged in.
Did anyone of you have similar situation?
from my experience so far with the HDMI on the Prime is that sometimes it doesn't detect that you plugged it in at times, so yo have to keep unplugging it and replugging until you see the notice at the bottom that an HDMI cable has been inserted.

I also have to be sure to pause Music or start my game before I plug it in, or it won't work quite right.
I've been chopping this up to the $5 20ft cable, but I guess not...
I've also had this problem. I've tried plugging it in multiple times and it no longer detects my HDMI cable. I've tried turning the prime on and off, switching tv's but no dice. I might try to get a new cable to see if that's the problem and go from there.
also try just half plugging it in. If it's plugged in too far it doesn't work.
I just hooked up one of those Volans MHL to HDMI converter boxes. I connected to the TV but when I plugged in the power, the charge indicator on the Tablet flashed on an off and so did the TV picture. I rebooted everything and made sure I tried an isolated USB power supply. I disconnected the HDMI cable to make sure it wasn't an issue with the tv but the power still flashed on and off.
Any ideas? Anyone had success with this? If it looks like a faulty unit, I'll just get another but if it is a design fault, I'll look elsewhere.
Thanks
I purchased the Amazon Basics micro HDMI cable (http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-High-Speed-Mini-HDMI-Cable-Ethernet/dp/B003ES5ZR8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419968500&sr=8-1&keywords=mini+hdmi) and I've been having issues with poor or no connection. The first time I connected the tablet everything was great. I played about an hour of Portal with no issue. I had to reboot the tablet, and after that I couldn't get a signal. I tried the HDMI cable in my Canon 70d and had no signal. I assumed that the cord was bad, but last night I tried again and got a good signal for about ten minutes. I had to change the source on the TV and when I went back to the original input, my signal was gone. Has anyone else experienced this with the Amazon HDMI cable or any other HDMI cable? What are some good low-cost HDMI cables that others have had success with?
Ive used this adapter a few times without issue. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IZYIYX8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 .. If the cable is giving you an issue with multiple devices can it be the TV?

I plugged the cable into all of the HDMI ports on the TV and one on my Sony receiver. It seems to react the same way with both devices. But that adapted you linked looks pretty slick.
Sounds more like a bad cable than anything else. If you replace the cable and it continues then the shield would be the next more likely culprit. I haven't heard of this happening to anyone else, though.
Hi guys, I have a problem with my Asus Z380KL tablet. Im want to use this tablet as a head unit in my car and I need to use OTG cable to make it work, also I need to have charging in the same time. I also want to use AutoMate app to control tablet, especially auto on/off while charging/not charging.
And now is the problem, I can easily achieve working external devices (usb dac, FM transmitter and pendrive) with charging in the same time, problem is when I cut off the power from charger tablet still thinks that is charging, of course it cant be cause there is no power source but still I can see charging icon and in settings showing that is still charging. It stop doing that when I unplug micro usb plug from tablet but obviously I cant do it all the time cause tablet will be build in dashboard.
Now, with normal charger, without OTG cable its working perfectly, when I cut off power it stops charging in the same time, also I tried couple OTG cables and on every single one is the same thing.
Any ideas guys how I can fix that? Im not sure if thats software of hardware problem.
Also device is not rooted and it has ASUS oem software with Android 6.0.1.
Thanks guys for your answers and your time! Cheers

Really nobody knows what could be a problem?
Recently picked up the v30 and purchased an otg cable to be able to hook my printer to my phone for work (did this on my g4 no problem). First plug shows up and when i plug it in, the phones usb status goes to "power supply" (like im trying to charge another device, not charge my v30). If i changs it to any other option, a second later it changes back to power supply. I thought this was strange as nothing was even plugged into the otg cable. Returned it and got another one of a different brand , same problem. Got a specific cord thats usb c on one end, printer plug on the other side. Same exact thing. All of these cables worked fine on my buddies Motorola, so at this point, i can only assume its the phone. I have tried plugging multiple devices to the otg cables, even getting a usb to micro usb to try my old otg cable and all had the same problem. Verizon sent a brand new phone to me thinking my cable port was bad. It did the same thing as well. If anyone else has run into this issue or has any advice, that would be much appreciated. My work printer is old and the wifi direct sucks to hook up constantly and it likes to disconnect in the middle of printing.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have been having the same issues. I am trying to use the OTG adapter for my Meridian DAC. Ordered through Amazon 2 times, with different sellers claiming compatibility. But no luck.
And to concur with you, I get the identical issue where it switches momentarily to my selection, then Immediately goes to Power supply.

Regarding connecting a external DAC to the V30 I currently have that working with my V30 and my FIIO Kunlun E18. The cable used is below. I know that it's not the same thing that you are talking about because it's not exactly an OTG adapter but it works for my purposes. Good luck to you.

Thanks for the info.
Do I need to change anything in the settings?
Or is it basically plug and play?

This adapter saved me and my old sandisk flash drive back talking again.

It's plug and play but when the DAC is connected it asks you if you want to set a default app to the USB device. Be sure to select NO and just cancel out if window. I was selecting yes when I had USB pro music app installed and it prevented me from hearing anything from LG music player, YouTube,and other 3rd party apps.

I'm also facing the same issue with an otg adapter, exact same symptoms.
Is there any solution other than buying specific otg adapters like the ones listed above?
I've also noticed that my V30 is very picky when it comes to usb connection. I have an usb c flash drive, and if it moves in the slightest, the connection just drops. It also happens with some usb cables that I've tried to use to connect the phone with my pc.
