7. Troubleshooting

Problem: Device not recognized.

Solution 1: Ensure your mobile device supports USB OTG functionality. Not all USB-C devices have this feature enabled.

Solution 3: Try connecting a different USB-A peripheral to rule out an issue with the peripheral device.

Solution 4: Check for any physical damage to the cable or connectors.

Problem: Slow data transfer speed.

Solution 1: Ensure both your mobile device and the connected peripheral support USB 3.0 speeds. If either is USB 2.0, speeds will be limited to USB 2.0.
