Hi, I have a MacBook Pro so I only have USB C ports, is there a way I can use USB-C to USB-C cable with Odin? My USB-C to USB-A Cable broke so I cannot use it with my adapter. I have tried googling all this but nobody seems to have this problem.

i cant see why it wouldnt work, Odin only really looks for a Com port. usb-c to usb-c cables are pretty cheap at computer parts stores. i was just at one of my local places and it had them for about $6. worth the gamble IMO, just remember social distancing (imagine someone reading this in a few years and wondering why im saying to remember social distancing)

So what are you guys doing about the move to type c? I haven't found any adapters to convert the microusb end into type c... Do they not exist? I have about 10 cables, battery backups, all based on the old type

Yes but he wants an adapter to use all his current cables and not have to buy new ones.

Those threads also talk about adapters.. We don't need a dozen different threads about cables and adapters.
Wanted to do a shoutout to TechMatte Inc for giving me a free sample unit of these micro usb to usb C adapters. I got them in exchange for my unbiased review. So:
First: This is a two pack for a pretty reasonable price. Right now, it's $5 a piece. Not bad.
Second: Quality: These are plastic, but very functional. I have a multitude of micro USB cables from previous phones, and it's nice to be able to have backups laying around, instead of having to buy a bunch of USB C cables now. I leave the adapter plugged into the micro usb cable, and plug the adapter into the phone. Pretty handy at making the old cables still work.
Caveats: Size. This is a plus and a minus-- they would be very easy to lose. Also, the plastic feel. These work very well, but I can also see them starting to fall apart with heavy daily use. Not sure, but it looks like they wouldn't survive abuse.
Thanks, Techmatte, for the sample, and I would recommend these adapters!
Can you tell us what chargers you've used this with? Any of the Anker IQ chargers at all? I was looking at these (or similar items) to reuse the Micro USB chargers I have everywhere. Does the phone report that it's plugged into AC (in the Battery info screen), and does it report "Charging" or "Charging Slowly" if you look at the lock screen?
I'd be concerned about using an adapter like this since it could be potentially placing more stress on the phone's USB-C female connector than it was designed to handle. I'd much rather see a short (say 3" or so) Micro USB F to USB-C M adapter cable, so the stress gets relieved a bit by the cable.

I bought this four pack a while ago, and just use them around the house/ office. It reports Charging when plugged in.
Hi,
Do they work as data/sync with the computer?

Yes.
Hey I just got these today! They are small and go charge at a decently fast pace even though it only says "charging". I like that it comes in packs of 2 so I can have one in my car and one at home.
It's only been a day, but so far I approve of these.
got this one on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/40100033237...49&var=670529660301&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
$1.49 each and works great. Shipping took 9 days from China

Nice, does it fast charge or charge at a good speed?

I just tested using 3 configurations:
Stock LG charger and Cable 5V3A:
"Charging Rapidly" at +2621mA/h
Anker 5V2.4A charger and USB-A to C cable:
"Charging Rapidly" at +1285mA/h
Anker 5V2.4A charger and USB-A to Micro USB cable with USB C adapter:
"Charging" at +1225mA/h
Any thoughts on what the software engineer from Google has to say about the adapter and what potential impact it may have on our devices?
I'm a Software Engineer on the Chrome OS team at Google on the Chromebook Pixel and Pixel C teams.
I bought these two USB-C to Micro USB adapters from TechMatte and found they do not work properly with the Chromebook Pixel.
Upon closer inspection by our engineering team here, we have determined that this adapter is not correctly following the USB Type C specification.
The specification can be found here :
http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/usb_31_102015.zip
Specifically, these adapters do not charge the Chromebook Pixel 2015 because the adapters leave the C-C lines floating, where the specification requires a Rp pullup to Vbus to identify the cable as a legacy adapter or cable.
Please see the document named "USB Type-C Specification Release 1.1.pdf"
section 4.5.3.2.4 for a description of why the Rp pullup is necessary.
Please also see Section 4.11 and the following note :
1. For Rp when implemented in the USB Type-C plug on a USB Type-C to USB 3.1 Standard-A Cable
Assembly, a USB Type-C to USB 2.0 Standard-A Cable Assembly, a USB Type-C to USB 2.0 Micro-B
Receptacle Adapter Assembly or a USB Type-C captive cable connected to a USB host, a value of 56 k'
± 5% shall be used, in order to provide tolerance to IR drop on V BUS and GND in the cable assembly.
In other words, since you are creating a USB Type-C plug to a USB 2.0 Micro-B receptacle assembly, you must use a resistor of value 56k' as a pullup to Vbus. This cable does not do this.
Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide about why these adapters are problematic.
If you are a consumer looking for a cable that is compatible with Pixel, do not use this one.

I've found plenty of USB Type-C to HDMI adapters online, though wanted to check if anyone has given any of these a try?
Would anyone know if all HDMI / USB-C adapters should be compatible with the Huawei P9?
I use one of these...
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-Fe...&qid=1463913348&sr=1-2&keywords=Aukey+adapter
There are cheaper ones around, but I think you should get one with a 56k ohm resistor... Something about laptops/phones being fried without one!
that's not for hdmi though?

My bad, misread the op as just a micro usb to type c adapter!
P9 doesn't have MHL so no, it won't work.
I know there was a big issue with some of these and the Note 7 where the cables had issues with the amps or something and I-Orange cables were recommended, I want to pick up some more of them now for the Note 8 and apparently I-Orange has had some quality control issues or something happened where they are changing their name and I am seeing allot of customers giving them bad reviews now.
So Who has the best (preferred) USB 3.0 to USB C charging cables?

I-Orange is now Veckle and you can't go wrong with Anker Powerline Cables. I bought a couple Veckle cables on special and they seem to work fine.
as mentioned in another accessories thread...

I've heard the QC for the Anker cables are pretty bad. Going to try CHOETECH this round.
I've stuck with Anker as their quality has seemed to remain high and these USB 3.0 and 3.1 type A to C cables are no exception.
To be fair though, the phone fast charges just fine with an old Blackberry usb 2.0 cable and micro A to C adapter as well. I am guessing you'd need a pretty awful cable to fail.
Good morning. Thank you for this site.
Wanting to replace original aawireless cable.
Is the cable USB 3.0 Type C into a USB Type A 2.0?
Thanks in advance. Mike.
I've had a tough time trying to replace my original cable, which works the best for me, it's just longer than I need in my car.
The cable type for you depends on your car, as it's USB C on the AAW end, and USB A for MOST cars on the other end. Some cars might be USB C on the other end as they are more recent.
The big issue is if it's a high quality data cable, not just a charging cable.
I'm on the lookout for a 30cm or 1 foot cable, USB C - USB A.

There is no such thing. It's either 3.1 or 2.0, the ends can't be different. Either should work.
Just buy a quality cable. Anker and Monoprice are well respected.

Thanks for these specific cable recs. Hopefully saved me some hassle
If you don't need an actual cable, I've been using one of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0936PJC2J/ and it's been great.
