Hey guys just want to check that this is the right cable that'll work with my Galaxy S arriving in a few days
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Electronics-photography/TVs/Cables-aerials/auction-314849140.htm
So that should fit in my 3.5mm slot and give me video & audio output to the TV?
Also anyone had experience with these? What is the quality like?
Is it usable for watching a DivX movie or something on a friends TV?
there is a topic in the accessories forum
the cable you need is a nokia something something forgot the model #
i bough it on ebay for $3 free shipping, it works!!!!!!!
found it!
Nokia CA-75U
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7458985&postcount=47
Does it have to be that Nokia cable? Are they not the same?
I'm using Nokia's 3.5 jack video cable.
DivX quality is quite poor, I would not recommend watching over it, if it is a large screen tv, I've tried it on a small scale screen (23") where the video is watchable.
Is there not an HD cable available?
there is no such thing, because it is coming out of a coax 3.5 hole
you can't pass enough power to produce a high res video

U should review the following post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737825
and it doesn't end on the first page
did you notice that is not using the 3.5 plug?
they are trying to hack the USB to display HDMI which is currently not supported and not working
i found an App on Android Market to "enable" HDMI output via USB, but it's not compatible with our phone
then you will also need a cable from ebay to do the conversion from USB to HDMI
I did, lol, it's in the name of the post...
Probably the only way (if it is possible) to output HD signal on this phone is through microUSB.
PS
Through a cable of course...
I am trying to use chromecast with my old projector which only got VGA input. I purchase a HDMI to VGA adapter which also has a audio output.
The audio works with my xbox360 and Patriot box office (the PBO needs to be set to HDMI LPCM Stereo). However, I could not get any audio using the same adapter from Chromecast. Is anything special about the audio output in Chromecast since the adapter is working with other devices?
VGA is only for display. It doesn't have the capability to transfer sound.

I'm going to start off with the possible stupid reasons so please don't get insulted by the question! LOL
Are you sure your in the right Audio In? Most of the time VGA in will have it's own Audio Input which in most cases is a Mini Phone (headphone) Jack. Hard to see sometimes unless your looking for it.
If thats not the issue, Check the Menu on the Projector to see if there is a setting for which Audio source to use when on VGA.
I'm guessing you have a bunch of connectors (I'm betting 10, 3 for Analog/Composite, 5 for Component, 1 VGA and one for VGA Audio.)
But sometimes both the Component and VGA use the Analog Audio inputs for their audio, Depends on the Manf.

I am connect the audio jack on the adapter directly to a set of earphone. That works at least for xbox 360.

Well it may not be enough power to drive headphones but enough to drive the XBox which is probably line level in.
Headphones require a higher power signal than Line Level...You might hear something but it will be too low and possibly not at all.
If you can send me a link to the device you have I can take a look to see what it puts out.
In most cases they only put out Line Level not Speaker Level.

Given that the device seems to be powered by the HDMI connection, almost certain it does not have an audio amplifier.
As a whole the device seems a bit scary to me, especially since it claims to support HDMI 1.2 (not sure where the chips are coming from at a $10 price tag), the support mail address is gmail, and support number is in Mountain View, CA - so just might be someone importing stuff. selle reviews on Newegg are spotty at best, but who knows these days...

He would have been better off getting an HDMI to component breakout box. Or a new Projector that has an HDMI in! LOL
The Boxes I use cost around the same as a Projector would! LOL

I'm quite happy with my HDfury2 output from Chromecast.
If the $10 solution works, great, but unless it's using recycled HDCP chips from a major manufacturer, it's likely to get blacklisted.
Howdy,
I have a dvd player in my VW camper, is there a cable anyone could recommend to go from MHL to RCA? Will it work on a custom ROM? There's a lot of conflicting info out there. Thanks!

you can do a search on amazon for a mhl 2 rca and come up with a few results for that cable. and as far as custom roms go. i would imagine it would work on a touchwiz based rom(jedimasterx2 would be a good example here) as far as the likes of non touchwiz based roms(ie. aokp) it wouldn't work as allshare is not included. hopefully i answered your question. can't tell ya much more then that. maybe someone else can chime in on the cable who has maybe purchased one. i unfortunately only have the mhl2hdmi not the rca varient so.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. It's a dvd player/in dash receiver, so it has rca aux inputs. I looked into those cables and a lot of reviews say they don't work and a few actually say it won't work with custom roms, which to me sounds kinda strange.

it wont work with a simple cable.
MHL only outputs digital signal so no analog RCA, you need something to convert it with a scan converter from HDMI to RCA, which require external power.
Also it wont work on customs roms because MHL uses proprietary drivers and only works on stock roms.

That's what I feared. Thanks for the confirmation.
I wish such a cable or some workaround existed, I would've been able to hook up my Note 2 to my car's Pioneer touchscreen system
I got an mhl to HDMI adapter and then a HDMI to rca converter from Monoprice. Works perfect

Hi guys I was not too happy with the built in dac on the note 8 and a friend recommended buying a usb c to headphone adapter as apparently have there own dac built in so I bought the htc one http://www.htc.com/uk/accessories/usb-c-digital-to-3-5mm/
And I don't know if I'm hearing things but it does sound louder with the adapter or am I just hearing it different?
My question is if it's true about these adapters having there own dac is there a better one the the htc obviously in a reasonable price range ive seen the one with the razor phone is ment to be good
And if this is the case I don't see the big fuss about looking the headphone jack if we can get great sound from the adapters lol
Thanks

Are you sure your friend didn't say that usb would use the headunit dac instead? I know that works that way, usb c to usb into my headunit for direct file play using only the headunit dac not headunit dac+ phone dac. No, I can't see any adapters your talking about having built into dac.
I can also tell you that I can't use high res in poweramp through usb or UHQ upscaler in settings with usb audio. I prob won't use it much due to those reasons, or Bluetooth for poor audio quality and no uhq upscaler either. Leaving aux for being the best for audio on this phone.

The moment you use the usb-c port to play your music, it bypasses the internal DAC. This is why ALL usb-c earbuds etc have their own DAC. I honestly doubt an adapter-DAC combo less than 10 pounds will outperform the DAC in the Note 8.
There is a major distinction between
1. How the DAC processes and shapes your music.
2. How 'powerful' it is and if it can handle high impedance headphones.
Seems to me that no. 2 is likely but definitely not no.1 with the adapter you linked.
It is well known that LOUDNESS(not volume) often comes across as BETTER quality sound.
Thanks guys I'm no audiophile I just wanted better and louder sound which the usb c headphone adapter seems (placebo maybe) do I've looked around on Amazon with a few of them claiming that they have decent dac built it
Do these dac in the adapters bypass the phone dac or something ?
So I have huawei cm33 usb type c earphones but when i plug them to the S21U it will give a notification saying device not recognized. Is there anyway to make them work? They work on huawei phones and tried them on oneplus also working. Such a disappointment that a 1500$ phone can't support wired earphones with type c

You have to use either headphones with build in D/A Converter or normal 3,5Jack headphones together with Samsung USB-C to 3,5Jack Adapter EE-UC10JUWEGWW. Samsung does not have analog signal on USB-C plug. If you buy just a cheep USB-C to 3,5Jack Adapter it will not work, because of missing D/A Converter.

I got my adapter on Amazon for between $3-$5 and it works fine with my S21U (no problems from four different sets of wired headphones)... I'm thinking that this guy's headphones might have some type of device limitation.
*Edit* - Here's a link to the adapter that I have. Price has gone up (as the price has for everything in the past 4-5 months) and so now it's $10. But it does indeed work on my S21U (but funnily enough, it didn't work on my Pixel 3XL when I had originally purchased it two years back).

Simply get the Samsung converter. It's output is via a 3.5mm jack though. I avoid using the C port for anything except charging and connecting to the PC to reduce wear. The bottom of the phone is a lousy place to have it for audio... born to die.
Jusr follow @Keyvannn 's video link. There no need to hassle & buy any D/A converters. It works out of the box. Just enable audio routing on developer options.

This is correct. I had forgotten about them but in the box was a factory included wired earbud set with a C port connector. They worked but they sucked. The 10+ made the connection automatically; simply go to settings to route the audio via the C port.
The problem arises if you need the 3.5mm jack.

I had forgotten the about the included AKG wired earbuds with the 10+. I don't think they have a builtin DAC, they might. Latter I'll pull them and try to see what output the phone is making to them.
Samsung has always been less than forthcoming with their bloody specs. Cryptic be an accurate description... try finding specs for the SSC codec
See where that takes you before you finally realize the UHQ upscaler isn't available for bluetooth except on the Note 8 I believe it was. It's misleading at the best. You need to follow multiple Samsung links to finally route that out.

Thanks guys, but this might work on the S20/S10 etc because they have 3.5mm audio jack ALSO. but the S21 does not have and by default the option is already disabled on S21. unfortunately i double checked again and it still doesnt work

Works with Note 20 Ultra, works with S21 Ultra: Meizu Hifi DAC Pro, Ztella MQA and so on. I prefer to use with UAPP + Tidal MQA with direct output/bit perfect (exclusive direct mode). But all of them works with standard android mixer/output too.

The only bummer with UAPP and tidal is it doesn't support offline mode. N native tidal with external dac does not not support more than 48khz.
Where as I guess tidal on apple does support mqa from native tidal app

I'm seeing 2 comments about UAPP ...is it necessary to have this app to play music via USB C Dacs? Also, I'm more inclined towards Ztella DAC..but am scared to blow 99$ just to find that it's not supported by the phone...has anyone used this USB DAC?

1) ztella has a significant discount promo coupon code, just google it, many of them flying around. If IRR, 30% discount code available. $69 + shipping for MQA version, for example.
2) UAPP is necessary to get the full advantage of MQA and direct output. If you do not plan to use Tidal, you can use Neutron player instead, or Hiby Music app - or any app that support direct output to DAC (with the proper drivers built-in in that app, uapp just have a widest base of drivers and always works perfect, have frequent updates and decent interface).
Otherwise, you will listen to standard Android audio which is processed by the firmware and have nullified almost any advantage in the sound quality you paid for using DAC.
