I use a USB-C to USB-C cable from amazon (https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01GGKYZQM/ref=twister_B06XT2FR5Q?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1).
And I figured out something:
When I connect the OP to the phone, the "Connect to computer?" popup appears on the OP screen. Then, I disconnect and reconnect the USB cable (while OP is on) a few times as long as the computer-popup appears. Usually after 3-4 trials the popup doesn't come anymore, instead "Phone connected" appears and the connection to Mimo works as expected. The connection is stable (even if I shake the cable or plugs, so it is not a mechanical problem with the plugs) and everything works perfect as long as I disconnect the devices by pulling out the cable or switch off the OP, then next time I have to do the procedure again.
When the connection doesn't work, the OP is charged by the phone. After the right connection is established, the charging direction is inverted and the phone is charged by the OP (what by the way seems to be a complete nonsense in my opinion - why does the small OP battery charge the usually much more powerful phone battery?)
So for me it looks like there is a problem between the two devices negotiating who of them is the host, and this finally happens at random. I also tried out everything I could (connect before and after switching on the OP, with and without the extension rod mounted, Mimo app started or not, all USB modes on the phone, USB debugging mode... nothing helps)
It's good to now that the connection using the cable works in principle, but the need to plug the cable in and out a few times each time I switch the OP on is not a satisfactory solution. Maybe it's a software bug in the OP? If this issue doesn't get solved soon, I will return the extension rod, as it's not really usable in the current state. And no, I am not willing to spend another 60€ for the wireless adapter just to get the extension rod to work properly. |
