No. There should be an adapter that babe with your s8+ that turns the USB standard end of your s8+ charging cable into a USB type c connector. I think it requires the use of the stock cable to work.
Although I have not tried it the way you suggested yet.

I tried using that software when I came from my Nexus 6p and went to a note 7, it didn't work for me. They may have updated it, but it said the Nexus phones aren't compatable
Weird. I used a regular USB C cable to connect my Pixel XL to my S8+ and it worked fine. Same when I switched from the Nexus 6P to the Pixel XL.

I am trying to charge my Nexus 6P while simultaneously casting a streaming video from a USB drive to a Chromecast using a USB keyboard and mouse (Basically a computer replacement scenario). I have purchased the Cynergy 3 Port Ethernet Hub USB C with USB C connector and everything works independently but I can not seem to get it to simultaneously charge and read the USB port data. When the hub is inserted into the Nexus 6P the phone asks me to choose between 5 USB scenarios (see attached picture). When I pick “Charging” the USB ports stop working and when I unplug the power supply and then plug it back in the phone defaults to “Power supply” and the phone does not charge but the USB ports work along with the items connected to them. So I wonder if simultaneous charging and data is possible with the USB C connector on the Nexus 6P? I have read elsewhere in this forum that it may not be allowed in the USB standard but can’t find any confirmation of this. Has anyone found a cable/hub that can do this or is this not possible due to the USB C connector limitation?
You might want to try something like this.

Why tell him to waste money on something that isn't going to work? The 6P doesn't support USB PD so this isn't possible.
i think you need to do some mad hacks in the kernel to get otg and charging at once (i think they did it on the oneplus 1 and possibly on the 2nd gen n7 so maybe google those for what it needs to be done?) i tried various resistors to the sense pin on the micro usb z4 which ended up not working but i have no idea how the usb c is wired up. Good luck with it anyway
I've got an existing OTG cable with micro USB. Does that work for things like thumb drives and mice using the adapter?
If not, would this work?

thanks..
It comes with a USB-C to USB-A adapter in the box. You should be able to plug your thumb drive or mouse into that.

I don't know why they would get rid of something as old as OTG support so I'm assuming that yes it will work.
yes otg works and the samsung smart switch lets you plug one phone into the other and transfer data
Just reading through the AT&T manual: it states clearly that OTG will not work through the supplied USB connector (p9). Nor can you use it to charge the Note 7 from a computer (p12).
With built-in battery too - hope the Note 7 isn't just another pretty fetish.

Well all of the above work on my T-Mobile variant.
On my t-mobile Note 7, I cannot get my Dragonfly Red to work via USB OTG.

It is a DAC/Preamp. So you use the included microUSB to USB C adapter for your OTG cable?
Yup

idk but all my jump drives work just fine, same as my s7 edge.
just plug them into the usb c otg and tranfer files via samsung file app
Ok. I just realized that there is an otg usb to usb c adapter in the box. That one actually works just fine with my external dac.

I can't get my Oppo HA-2 DAC to work at all. I tried using the included adapters but nothing. I went and bought a USB - USB C cable and that also didn't work. The only way I have been able to get audio is to use a standard charging cable (USB - MicroUSB) and put the USB C adapter on the MicroUSB end. However this charges the Oppo from the Note 7 and I can't disable that. Will burn through the battery in no time! Not sure what else to try at this stage
+1 I have successfully used a SanDisk 8gb flash drive with an aftermarket Rankle usb adapter. I have an AT&T Note 7.

I use the included USB-USB C adapter with a USB -USB Mini(?) and my Fiio Alpen. As you mentioned, the Note7 charges the DAC. This also happened with my Note4. You should be able to use a wireless charging pad to charge the Note7 at the same time. That's what I did when I was transferring files between phones. It's transportable but not very mobile.
My little micro usb fan does NOT work with the included usb 3 to microusb connector. So, i'm gonna assume OTG doesnt work as it used to.
Hi,
I'm trying to use the iRig UA Accessory with my LG G5, I'm connecting by an OTG Micro USB Type B to Micro USB Type B cable with a Type C adapter.
Sadly, the iRig doesn't turn on and is not recognized.
When using the same iRig on PC or Nexus 5, everything is fine. Does anybody know what's wrong here?
May it be caused by the adapter?

The B Micro to C adapters are for charging only.. you would need a Type C OTG adapter and a standard B micro to Type A cable (like used to a normal computer) to hook it up.
Edit: Tested a normal USB sound device (Cmedia based) usb audio works.

Great! I tried this solution and it works now. Didn't think that it can make such a huge difference. Thanks a lot!

Glad to help . Perhaps some day someone will make a Type C OTG direct to B Micro cable that will make your device setup more streamlined.
Hi guys.

I tried connecting my new Pixel 2 to my PC and it wont work, it says it´s charging but the notification where I can click and change from "charging" to "transfer files" will not show up. I am trying this with a USB2 A to Micro-USB cable connected to a MicroUSB to USB-C adapter. Worked perfectly on my Xiaomi Mi A1 but not on the Pixel 2 and even though this is such an expensive smarphone Google decided not to include a USB A to USB C cable (or some headphones, for that matter) I cant connect my phone to the PC and transfer my music to it! I have tried the USB3 port, the USB2 back and fron ports, to no avail.
Can someone please help?

Did you go to settings - connected devices - USB?
Of course i did it. Doesn't help. I used usb-c cable from HTC10, but it's doesn't fit good with port in my Pixel 2. Maybe it is problem. But with stock cable i cannot connect Pixel with my PC.

How did you use the stock cable? Do you have a USB C port on your PC?

I didn't use stock cable from my Pixel 2 but cable from my HTC10. At one end it's usb-c, and at the other end it is USB - and this side i plug to my PC.

You said "but with stock cable I cannot connect to PC". For a moment I thought you connected the stock cable and it didn't work.
No i mean that i cannot connect because there is no USB at the end.

same issue here!try use other cable ,turn on the USB debug mode,install the ADB driver already,but not work
Probably a dumb question, but did you 'enable usb debugging' in Dev mode? You didn't mention it in the OP, so I had to ask.
i download the google usb driver then follow the guide and fix it

Agreed.

One thing I recommend is trying to find the cable originally with the device. Or, try to find a "DATA TRANSFER" cable, some cables only charge the device. I have the same problem, I just have a USB-C to USB-C cable, cause I do not have the Pixel 2 XL. Sucks there is no headphone jack. Any ideas? Maybe where I can get a working cable? I need one for my phone, cause I record my YouTube videos with it.

I have this usb a to usb c cable that comes with my buds 2 and whenever i try to use the cable to charge my phone by connecting it to my laptop, the charging speed is always way slower compared to when i use a usb c to c cable connected to my laptop.
is this normal or is something wrong with maybe the cable or the device being used?
*the laptop im using is a legion 5 (2021) and the port im using is the usb a 3.1 gen 1 port

Most USB A cables do not support Power Delivery (PD). You need a type C to C cable.
Just like @TheMystic said, not all USB-A to C supports PD. Furthermore, not all USB-C to C supports PD.
