Just bought a Kaiser and there was no sync cable, can I use any old mini USB to USB to flash HardSPL, unlock etc?
yes you can
Thank you amigo!
There are cheaper cables which will only charge the unit and not create a data connection to your pc.
I tried 3 of these cheaper cables until I got fed up and got a quality cable.
So just in case this happens to you... if you got a problem its 99% most likely to be poor cable.
I used my cable and it was fine, flashed HardSPL, and a cooked ROM, I'm getting an original cable anyway just to have it
like most MHL cables that include the charging port (where you just plug in from wall), is there anything like this for OTG??
tried finding and searching but nothing.....
If you're looking for power going to the USB device, then you can use this.
If you want to charge your Note while using the OTG feature, then I've not yet come across anything like that.
Just wondering if it is possible to charge the Note 2 while using the OTG yet? I'm in my car all the time and use an external SD card. My 64gig internal card is already full.

How about a scenario where I have External Battery charger and OTG adapter with usb stick. I want to watch the movie on usb stick while also have External battery connected charging the phone. I guess it's the same problem as not being able to charge up phone from any external source while using another device connected to OTG?

You could make your own micro USB OTG cable. I still haven't seen one for sale anywhere.

Oh, I don't have issues with OTG cables. I have adapter and cables, and modified cables before: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107985
I just want to figure out how I can watch movie from usb-stick while charging my phone at the same time. There seems to be no solution for that yet? Or are you suggesting there is a way to make a custom cable to do that? I think once you attach OTG cable to connect a peripheral device, you turn Note 2 into host and it will not accept charging from micro-usb port. No way around it

Oh, I understand what you mean now. In that case, you are correct. You cannot charge your phone and use an external thumb drive at the same time through the usb port. When you plug in an external drive, your phone switches the USB power cables to send the juice instead of receive it.
The only ways I know around that are to use a wireless charge stand or the desk dock.

Isn't this exactly what sammys smartdock does? Charge and otg simultaneously?

Yep. Not possible with just a cable. It needs a microprocessor to regulate the current in and out. Devices plugged into the dock are powered by the dock's power, not the phone's.

I hear what your saying, but looking at threads in the S3 section like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953061 got me thinking... I'm just trying to make an audio cable for my car that charges and has 3.5mm out to my radio. And I need it to work with every 4.1.X kernel and above, especially stock.

If you get a pinout for the s3, might be able to modify a cable to do both.
SO I was this weekend to ski and when I came home I couldn't find my usb cable and charger...I have another mini usb cable but it just charging my phone mass storage not working...this is because is not an original usb cable right? Is there any tric or something to make it work?

if it is charging.....then the pins for the data transfer in the mini-USB cable is not connected.....AFAIK, I think there are no tricks....
one trick is to get yourself a new data cable....
I am interested if anyone knows the specifics of the micro usb connector used in the LG G2. I am only asking since I mixed up a Motorola Droid usb - micro usb cable last night with the OEM LG cable and thought my 24A update screwed the usb connectivity completely. It was just a cable mixup but it bugs me that the majority of my existing usb cables don't work with the G2. I would understand if the G2 had been shipped with usb 3.0 but it is a 2.0 spec but obviously a slightly different connector spec than older micro usb phones like my older Droids. I like the better connection - more tight and snug feeling with the G2 and OEM cable but I'm not sure what kind of cable to order if I was going to buy more for emergency or travel purposes. Is the new connector usb 3.0 compatible but simply not wired to usb 3.0 transceiever h/w ?

I just picked up a $3.00 USB OTG cable with a fullsized female usb to plug in USB sticks to transfer movies for the guys are work.
OTG is fully supported on the G2, (even shows the plug n pop Graphics of a usb stick inserting.)
Sometimes however it can get a lil finnicky in regards to format however.
I always format my usb sticks on the phone in settings then its good to go.
OK, so the format of the cable is not usb 2.0 micro usb but actually OTG (on the go). I was not aware that OTG had a physical connector change in it's specification, I guess I thought it was simply an enhancement of capabilities of the current micro usb connection. It's wierd how some micro usb cables seem to interoperate OK with OTG and some other don't.
Sorry for the misleading nature of this thread, I simply had a usb cable that went belly up and may have been working intermittently before. I just tested with a plain vanilla .99c usb-micro-usb cable and it work absolutely fine. I imagine the micro usb connectors on these cables can get hosed pretty easily and the G2's female connector seems to be pretty sensitive (some female connectors can be that way
What do you guys use? My already owned cables doesn't work on data transfer. Only charging. So I need a cable with data transfer capabilities and can fast charge my S21Ultra. What do you guys recommend?
Got my new phone yesterday and tried all my cables and dongles, but I could not get data transfer to work. Then I tried the short usb c to usb c cable that came with the new phone. It worked immediately.

Yes it does work but I need something reasonably long and usable.

I've had zero issues with these 6' Anker ones from Amazon. I've had them since the beginning of the year and use them daily.
I found with AUGM S21 Ultra update my data cables bar USB C to USB C cables stopped working. Prior to this update most USB A to USB C data cables worked.
