I'm looking for a recommendation for a good OTG hub. Preferably one that has a Micro SD slot as well as USB port. Or even better one with these 2 things plus a 3.5mm audio port.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good inexpensive one.

Hi,
So i bought this desktop dock for the flyer
http://www.expansys.co.za/expansys-usb-cradle-for-htc-flyer-209455/
it is quite inexpensive and looks great. It does have a normal micro usb plug on the dock and only one connection at the back so you either sync via usb or plug a micro usb charger (micro usb at the back but comes with cable)...
My issue is that the micro usb plug on the dock is just a little bit to short if you have a shell on your flyer or if it is in a case...
i'm looking for a small micro usb male to micro usb female adapter that would make the plug higher... so far i only found micro usb male to mini usb female and mini usb male to micro usb female... I'm just worried it might make it too high...
Had a similar problem mate, took me ages till I found this
http://www.ebay.com.hk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130626980424
thanks mate. how do you use it with dock though?
looks like we have different issues, mine was ti lengthen the cable
My bad, sorry........
Now I understood your problem, don't think you can find a proper solution mate...
i've found micro to mini both way
so i'll try to combine them and see how it goes
I am interested in connecting my phone to an external DAC/AMP (Fiio e17/e9) via its micro USB port and is wondering if this is possible?
Does Andriod OS support AUX preamp audio signal out through it's micro USB port? If so, which adapter should I purchase?
Or I could maybe do it by using a combination of adapters MHT to HDMI first and then HDMI to SPDIF (PCM signal) ? Any suggestion on the adapters?
Cheers
Hey all, does anyone have a confirmed otg cable for the note3, that will work with a external dac?
I have a few dacs that will work from my note2, but haven't found a good cable yet.
Any links?

I use this one ...
http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=9724&seq=1&format=2
and it works fine with my Note 3 and my HLLY SMK-III external DAC.
I have several, does not need to be USB 3.0 (and in fact USB 3.0 only like to add problems as many DACs currently in existence will only work with USB 2.0).
Thanks I'll try the monoprice cable
One of the things I’m really amazed by with the modern PDAs is the USB OTG. So just as I found out that my Galaxy has it, I got myself an adapter (for less than $3) and tested it with several devices. Here’re my results:
USB flash drives: every single one I tried worked perfectly except a 1 GB drive of unknown vendor, which wasn't even recognized by the Galaxy, works okay with PCs thought.
External HDDs: the Toshiba 500 GB USB 3.0 drive wasn't recognized and didn't show any signs of life. Surprisingly, a 320 GB SATA WD Blue in a USB bay was detected and spinned up, but the Galaxy didn't recognize the file system and asked if I want to format it. I didn't, since the disk had some data I needed, but there's definitely a potential.
Input devices: all the mice and keyboards I tried worked as they should, both wired and wireless, which was expected. Which wasn't, is that DualShock3 controller from my PS3 was immediately recognized too without any additional drivers or software, it even let me control the menus. Sadly, that wasn't the case with my Logitech Freedom 2.4 wireless joystick. I guess the power wasn't enough.
Output devices: Sennheiser wired USB headset (basically, the USB sound adapter with the headset attached) worked as it should. HP LaserJet P1102 printer didn't work even with USB printing service installed.
Overally, I got much more then I dreamed of, especially since I heard that the OTG is very poor on a modern devices. DualShock3 success is especially cool.
This is quite weird as I have tried the original Samsung Micro USB OTG adapter, with the little white USB-C adapter and it did not work. This is on A3 2017.
There were rumors that USB OTG was disabled. Which adapter do you have?

The rumors aren't true. The thing is, Type-C uses a different pinout for OTG, so it shouldn't be a combo of Type-C to Micro and Micro to Type-A OTG, it should be a special Type-C to Type-A OTG adapter. The adapter that comes with the device is good for charging only, or so I heard. I’ll photo my adapter, but I got it for almost nothing in a local computers store.

Very interesting. A different pinout for OTG. Yeah I thought it was the combo that shoud have worked.
The little adapter comes with the device is said to be charge and sync. Because when connected to my PC it works. for data transfer.

Here’s the one I got. The site is in Russian, but the pictures are self-explanatory.
I have an OTG now from Aliexpress. It works for my A3 2017. 90 degree angle connector.
Now onto an USB-C to HDMI. The official Samsung EE-HG950 does not work.

So if i understand correctly the little "micro usb connector" that comes with the A5 2017 won't work for anything other than charging? I tried using it with a regular otg cable and it doesn't detect any flash drive, not even a ps3 controller, i don't even get the notification that a usb is plugged in.
But whats weird is if i use a male to male usb cable and connect to to a pc it works just fine. Any idea whats causing this?
Please help. I have the same problem. I have newly bought a5 2017. I already have otg usb drive sandisk. The adapter type c included in the box didn't work fine. Except only for charging when connected to usb 2.0.
My usb otg drive will become useless if it doesn't read by my device. What should i do? Or how to activate maybe my otg support? Tnx in advance.

The adapter from the box is just for charging and data transfer to compuer. If you want to use your flasdisk you can buy a new usb otg for type c slot.
Gadgets + Adaptors - how much do you gain by replacing them with "native" gadgets?
Rather than "how much" the question should be "do you gain anything"?
So I have USB 3.0 dongles out the wazoo. An ethernet adaptor, a serial port adapter, an (unpowered) 3 port USB 3.0 hub + card reader, etc. And I have USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter.
Is there any reason to replace these gadgets? For instance, will a USB-C card reader transfer data faster than a USB 3.0 card reader plus an adapter cable? How about USB 3.0 thumb drives on the 3.0 hub?
I've found only one non-starter so far. I have a 100gb USB 3.0 power-over-USB hard drive that requires too much power. I didn't expect it to work because it draws too much power for my laptop unless the laptop is plugged into wall-power. My Insignia USB-C to hdmi/USB/usb-c power also doesn't support the hard drive. So I guess I need to look for another adapter! It _will_ work with a powered micro-USB to USB 2.0 dongle + micro-USB to USB-C adapter, but even I know that is a kluge beyond the pale.
I don't have a bluetooth keyboard, but both a USB keyboard and a Logitech keyboard with Universal RF / USB receiver work fine (although I can see the advantage to Bluetooth over both)
Besides HDMI, which seems to be touchy because of the power requirements (my Insignia adaptor seems to have "slow charging" issues), what kind of gadgets are you finding useful, and which ones do you need to update to USB-C?
Take care,
Joe
At least from the card reader perspective, I have speed tested using the adapter and no difference. I also use an adapter for my smart card reader without issue...and cheap adapters at that.
I think you need an all in one adapters (like USB's, SD card reader, ethernet, HDMI and usb type-c for charging) and effective internal components for transfer speed and power delivery.
I have an adapter from Ugreen 7 in 1 adapter and works great but if you can't find it you can probably get the same things from different brands.
For a keyboard and mouse, going with the all Bluetooth or one universal dongle like Logitech make sense but don't forget that if just use the keyboard and mice with the all in one dongle drains your battery a lot but if you have just type-c to usb 3.0 adapter or type-c to otg (whatever you call it) it is much for useful and you don't toggle Bluetooth always. But for Bluetooth you don't need to carry the adapters.
For HDMI, i am using the all in one or HDMI and power delivery adapter (from Ugreen too) but it depends on what i need.
So you always need different adapters for what you do. But i don't know about pluging the hub to a hub, but it is not useful and not looking good so one adapter is more effective.
But there is a problem with these adapters, they need power and it is not fast charging the tablet(but not slowly charging too just normal) with the adapter that come with so i think you have to have a PD charge for tablet when using adapters because it doesn't support QC3.0 (i tested but not fast charging).
Berkowich,
PD and QC3 charging is not something I'd heard of before. I've read some web pages now but have questions.. Because this is sort of a different topic I'll start a new thread. If you can respond, that would be great!
Thanks,
Joe
