Getting OTG to work on my Google Pixel XL

[unserrer]

OK - this is driving me nuts.

I cannot seem to find the right cable combination to make this work.

I bought one OTG USB C to MicroUSB cable but that does not seem to work.

I can only find lots of OTG USB A Female to MicroSD cables - but no OTG adapter that will let me connect that to my USB C as they all seem to be UB female adapters.

Has anyone (pref in UK) managed to get OTG working on the Pixel XL and can advise of what cable to buy?

Link? Usually C to microUSB go the other direction (not OTG).

OTG to A, then A to C. Don't think you'll find it in one single cable (apart from DIY).

I'm fine not to get it in the one cable - but the problem is the m/f connecters.

This for example (which I have seen recommended) https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00LN3LQKQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=AXZ3JQ1GVFPIF&psc=1 is OTG MicroUB to Female A. I can't find a Male USB A to Male USB C which I think I need.

It's as standard as it gets. https://www.amazon.co.uk/CHOETECH-H...F8&qid=1504611302&sr=1-7&keywords=usb-c+cable

Ah. I have no idea why I did not spot that despite spending ages looking! Thank you! Does this cable not need to be OTG?

I am using this ONE, bundle 2 with my Samsung S8. It works, the one for IOS (bundle 3) too.

Nope, that wouldn't exist. The OTG bit is the one you linked to.

Maybe I am missing something here, or I have not had enough coffee yet. I get there has to be two cables. One from the RC > USB A then one from USB A to my Google Pixel. I have the connections but I can not get the RC to connect via the cables. What am I missing?

Apparently the latest verion of go 4 android does not support otg. I tried with various phones and it worked once. I have repeated the same steps and it will not connect.

Well that sucks.

Just search and download the 4.15 apk. I use the mod app on here and it works flawlessly

I don't know what that is or what it does. Sorry for my ignorance on this.

The current app version is 4.26 . If you use the old version 4.15 otg will work. .apk is an Android app extension.

There is an app someone made in this forum a couple threads down that is baised on 4.15 and works great.

I've had the best luck putting the phone in airplane mode then plugging in the controller then the phone after the controller paired to the spark.

That is the way I do it - I have a iPhone 8 Plus. I link.the remote to my iphone with a 2-cable combo (OTG and USB-lightning cables)

And it works every time for me. And I have the latest updates as of Feb 10th.

My process:
1. Launch the Go 4 app (iPhone 8 Plus is in Airplane mode).
2. Turn on the remote
3. Turn on the drone
4. Then I simply wait for the remote and drone to.connect (light turns green on the remote).
5. I Plug the cable combo into the phone first and then into the remote,second. My phone makes a little “beeping” noise and I’m good to go.
