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.

It's a standard Micro USB-B cable, you can use any standard compliant cable unless you're in for the *htc* bling. I use a blackberry USB cable for my HD2 and it works just as well as the one which came in the box with the phone.

It does not work on mine. Tried an USB OGT adapter and an adapter cable (both worked on my Xperia S) Tried Dualshock 3 (because of that native support thingy) USB Keyboard and USB Mouse. No reaction. Device is rooted but bootloader is locked and I have stock firmware on it.

I tested it with an xbox 360 controller and it worked fine! The battery drain with it is ridiculous though!
I have two different OTG USB cables, with one it works fine with my ps3 controller, no reaction with the other cable. The one which works is a very short one, the not working cable is very long. But I don't thing the length is the reason.
i've got a feeling not all OTG cables work, i bought a generic one from amazon and when i try connecting a usb memory stick it says it has too much devices connected and i need to disconnect one for it to work. Has anyone bought one recently and it has worked, if so please provide a link if possible. thank you

I bought this one from Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005FUNQXS/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
It arrived yesterday and I plugged the PS3 controller into the phone and it recognised it straight away.
I don''t know if it works with USB Drives or not, I don't have any to test, but it worked fine for what I needed it for, and cheap too.
Thanks mate, I'll give that a go

Just tried the USB OTG clip that i used on my HTC One and it doesn't show up a simple memory card? Which is weird as it's still working on other devices.
Would be good to find out what the problem is, is it a missing pin ? Or just the grade of the kit, plus certain USB OTG cables / clips are working for certain things and not for others, so PS3 will connect but memory won't mount on some, some nothing works on and others everything works, would be an idea to get some clarity on what cables do everything.
I'll test a few more when i get home, just confused as to why this one i've got doesn't work.
According to Google, we will be getting these in the box:
USB Type-C 15W (5V/3A) charger
USB Type-C to Type-C cable
So I was wondering why is everybody ordering USB C to USB A cables. Doesn't the MicroUSB cable I already have support data transfer?
Thanks.
MicroUSB is not Type C

mainly for usage between pc and phone communication, since most PC don't have USB c port yet I presume.

No need for a new cable http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-3-1-Typ...Tablet-/401000332375?var=&hash=item5d5d7b7c57
Great delivery date of up to Dec 3rd!
I will be getting a cable too, I would loose that adapter very quickly.
And of course the reason I want the cable is for charging the phone, my external battery pack only has TypeA sockets on it.

Becuase I like spares and I need to replace all of my micro USB cables with Type-C ones.
I got USB A to USB C cables for my computer and my existing car chargers.

The Type C to Type C can't be used for data transfer unless you've got an adapter or the new macbook which supports the type c connection.
I'm currently on the look out for a cable that is USB to Type C that has the 3.1 speed and can also be used for data transfer.

Have you tried to connect the 5X to your computer? Has your computer recognised the phone? I tried to do this on my mac using a cheap USB A to Type C cable and it didn't work. Kept saying the phone was locked.

Yes, works fine on my windows 10 machine with the A to C cable that Google sells. Already loaded tones into the 5X.

I've read the USB defaults to "charge only" mode, you might need to switch that in the settings first.
For now I will just be transferring my files wirelessly but I might buy an adapter or type C to type A cable eventually if I desire slightly faster transfers or USB charging.

The phone includes USB Type-C which isn't the same as MicroUSB. You can't use your MicroUSB cords because they won't connect to the phone.
I've picked up a couple cables from eBay and have had to return them. They won't even go in the charging port and I am not going to force them in.
So as of right now, I'm stuck with adapters. At least they work.

The Nexus 5X does not support USB 3.1, it will be using 2.0, so don't worry about cable spec.
I successfully connected my 5x to my early 2011 macbook pro and was able to unlock the bootloader install twrp and move files with android file transfer.

Did you have any problems initially when connecting your phone to your macbook? I have a macbook pro retina from 2013/2014 and it freezes every time I connect my phone to it. I've tried the Spigen cable I have with my windows work computer and it worked just fine, but every time I plug into my macbook, I have to reboot because it freezes.

Nothing that I was able to notice seemed to take it like any other Micro USB and my nexus 5, except android file transfer didn't launch itself when I connected it like it does with my nexus 5.

Received my Moto Z Force from Verizon today. Unfortunately, the device does NOT include a standard USB data cable in the package.
The Turbo Charger that comes with the device is hard-wired, and since the device uses a USB Type-C connector, a standard Micro-USB cable will not work!
So if you want to connect your Moto Z to a PC, you'll need to order a USB Type-C data cable separately (if you don't already have one)
Yeah, That's pretty messed up. Mine arrived today from Amazon along with a QC3 car charger. They're both Anker and pretty good quality.
Realized this was an issue when I went to transfer my pics/music backup from my computer to my new MZF. Had to resort to trusty ol' WiFi File Explorer Pro to get my stuff on there, worked well enough. USB-C is nice and all, but all these new cables/chargers kinda sucks for now lol.
If you have a PC/Mac with a USB-C port, I highly recommend getting a C-to-C cable, since the C port will turbo charge your phone while plugged in and transferring data.
I have tested with several cables and multiple manufacturers and multiple computers and cannot get a USB3.0/3.1 cable to keep a connection with the PC. USB 2.0 works fine.
I called Samsung and they are telling me that they only support the cable that came with the phone, which is a 2.0 cable. So they don't even support the 3.1 standard they advertise. I am about to return the phone over this. I have not found anyone else having this problem, but I have also not heard that anyone is using USB3 successfully either.
Yes I have success
I transferred over 7gb of data from a pc to a Note8 (sandisk 400gb Sd card) using a choetech USB c 3.1 gen 2 superspeed cable. The pc has superspeed ports (Alienware Area 51). Did not have any issue the two times ive connected the note 8 to a pc.
I have a type C to 3.1 type A cable from Anker, but have only used it on 3.0 ports on my laptop and desktop, definitely works super fast (even flashing the firmware with Odin - only takes a few seconds for the full package). I ordered 2 different cables though, one was apparently charging-only and didn't even work to fast charge.

I was planning to buy Anker Powerline Plus USB - C to USB A 3.0 cable. Isn't the cable good enough to fast charge the phone? Doesn't it charge as fast as the regular one (which came in the box) does? How much max current can be drawn using anker cable to charge note 8 and how much time does it takes to fully charge the device with anker cable compared to the original one?
Kindly provide these details, as I am confused whether to buy this cable or not.
TIA..
I have Trilink braided USB-C 3.1 cables that I bought on Amazon. They work perfect, super fast transfer speeds, and my phone charges the same as with the OEM cable that it comes with.

Does your PC actually support USB 3.0+ and are the ports setup correctly? Too many motherboard manufacturers poorly implemented USB 3.0 on their rushed motherboard, and Microsoft had to suffer the long end by providing poorly patched drivers because the boards never had the proper port insulations.

I will look into this but one is a brand new Dell Latitude and the USB 3 worked on my desktop with my S5.
