I purchased an OTG cable a while back and tried it out on my Note 2. I plugged a USB jump drive to it, and was able to read and transfer the files to and from my jump drive. I was quite happy.
I went on Amazon today to purchase an additional cable, so I could keep one at work. I was shocked when I read all of the 1 star ratings for most of the OTG cables. Most of the users said the faulty plugs on some cables bricked their phone.
Before purchasing another cable, I decided to give my cable a test. I plugged it in, and all was fine. I continued to plug it in and test it...... then all of a sudden, my device acted weird. I plugged it in and got some type of warning about something being damaged. I didn't have a chance to read all if it before the notice went away, but I do remember seeing the word damaged.
I plugged my phone up to my charger to see if the USB plug was still working, and it would not charge. Tried it a few more times, still nothing. At that point I was prepared to take it back to Verizon, use my insurance, and be out 100 bucks.
After taking out the battery and doing a reboot, it started charging again.
Now I'm afraid to use my OTG cable again.
Anyone had any issues with OTG cables?
