I use my Note 8 which is usb type c on both ends and it works.. that cable is a micro usb to usb type c cable so idk if it will work. Maybe someone else could chime in with an answer.

i bought a usb c cable fro transfer data and it works only on side if i turn the cable and connect to the other side tegra says that the payload has been sent , and nothing happends , the screen remains in balck .
Try using the same cable with a pc on windows 10 and check .

I originally had issues with OTG cables, found out they have a little trick to them sometimes where you plug into the hardware you want to connect first (here its your switch) then connect it to your phone, rarely works the other way around. This might be your problem though its worth a shot I suppose

Hi maybe you can try this, i had a similar Issue.

1. Open NX Loader and select your Payload
2. Bring your Switch into RCM
3. Plug your Cable FIRST in your Phone
4. Plug your Cable into your Switch

I also have problems with OTG because I have a cheap crap one, I just bent the USB a bit more it rarely fails... but when for example I connect a USB Flash drive if it doesn't show up I just reconnect OTG cable and it works...

If your phone doesn't support OTG probably you will be out of luck, you will have to root it and install the OTG driver, but even still I have no clue if it will work on all USB 2.0 based android devices even with OTG support.

Your Cable should be fine because its a Data Cable and no Charging Cable..

Did you actually SELECT any PAYLOAD?

I use this cable with my Huawei P10 Pro and it works perfectly.

Go in to your settings and under advanced, turn on OTG mode. This works for OxygenOS for my OP5t. Under your standard TouchWiz (Samsung) or Stock ROMs, you have to enable it in the hidden developer tab (unlocked by clicking on Build Number in About Phone several times)

You need a USB OTG adaptor, not just a cable with the right connectors on both ends. You will need something like:

w w w . amazon.de/UGREEN-Kabel-Micro-Adapter-Schwarz/dp/B00LN3LQKQ

Then you will need a USB type A to USB C cable such as:

w w w . amazon.de/AmazonBasics-USB-Kabel-Generation-Wei%C3%9F/dp/B01GGKYS6E/

You need the USB OTG adapter to act as the USB host, a simple cable will not do this. Devices with a USB C port built into them like my Samsung Galaxy S8+ will work with a simple cable with USB C ports on both ends as USB C can act as the host itself, devices with a Micro USB port need the adapter.

Don't know if it has been said yet, but try using the OTG connected to your phone, and the usb-c connected to the switch. Thats how it worked for me. If I had the OTG connected to the switch, it would not work.

The cable OP is using is just a Micro USB

The cable OP is using is just a simple Micro USB to USB C cable, that does not support USB OTG. See my post above yours.

Oh. Yeah he'll need an otg adapter

I know this is an old thread but was wondering if this setup will work when connecting to my Note 5

(Phone) Micro to USB A cable --> USB A to C OTG adapter (Switch)

The Switch would end up being the host in this case, I presume.
