Common charging port and headset port in diamond!!!

Guys
Are you all OK with the common port for BOTH
Charging & Headset
Dont you think this is a weak aspect of HTC as Diamond battery is so weak which necessitate charging it while using ur headset???!!!

Meh. After a while you'll get used to it - HTC like their silly ExtUSB port. Use a bluetooth headset or carry a spare battery.

Is there a way to use your own headphones with this kind of port? And: is there an antenna/headphone cable available in order to listen to the radio with your own headphones?

Of course there is..
Besides, if you look online, you'll see splitters for the ExtUSB, when you can both charge and listen to music at the same time..
As I understood, ExtUSB has 11 pins.. the splitters make it into 2 ports - 5 pins and 6 pins..
It may not look... "perfect" but you'll only use it inside anyway, on a desk (or chair XD )

Thanks for the quick reply. Can you recommend a place to shop for accessories like these?

Frankly speaking.. no idea..
I usually check several places to find a model that doesn't look to cheap, so it'll fall apart in a week, but also not too expensive..
You'll have to google, I guess )

There's a thing that would interest you...

Yh, you can find some cheap docks which allow for both docking and charging of a secondary battery.
eg. Link to a dock

You can use a cheap charger or you can use this

I have one and it works well. Won't fit in a hardcase if you use one, and not super tight like the oem cover so a little squeaky, other than that it works great.

may be silly, but did you check in setting/other/usb to pc.....unchecked the checkbox?...(.donot charge while connected to pc?)

I have the same problem but I need a quick fix. I don't want to buy a dock. Does anyone know the "pin-out" of the battery? It has 3 pins. One should be +5V, another should be the GND, but what about the third. Which one is which?
Please help!

Hmm I#m currently using the usb cable that came with the tab, im not sure if a dock is worth it, for me its only worth it if it has an extra ac adapter so i dont have to use the one that came with the tab.
I might get a second cable, not so sure about the dock yet, as the one I prefer doesnt appear to be on the german amazon site.

Multi-functional 4 in 1 Connection Kit

Has anyone tried this accessory with the GN2? Looks pretty useful, just want to make sure it works without rooting.

I have one and it works great. I've only used it for transferring in photos from my digicam and some files from a few thumbdrives, but it's worked perfectly thus far.

I have one. No need to root as stock OTG support is fine, but will not read NTFS.
There are a couple issues I have with it used with Note2:
- it will not act as a dock... it will not charge your phone while it powers memory or USB devices.
- it cannot be used with a case, unless you also buy an extension cable... M/F micro USB
- mine feels a little weak, like it might break off in the micro USB port & is intermittent if moved.
It's easier & cheaper to use a OTG cable unless you need to power USB devices... then you could add a hub. If you use a smart dock, you get charging, 3x USB, audio, HDMI.
For the cost, it would have been nice to have it charge as stated for S2.

Bought it for use with my Galaxy Note and now use it for my Galaxy Note 2.
Works great (yeah, not with a case on unless you have an extension cable), have used it with SD cards, Keyboard, mouse (yup, puts a mouse pointer on your screen!), external hard drive (but you have to plug in power (usb or wall charger) for that), I have even plugged in my Creative USB headphones and they work great! Awesome device.
If I was to make it, I would put a little sturdier plug on it (see other post for "flimsy feel") and make it so it had a VERY short plug (like a 1/4 inch longer) so it could be used without popping the bottom out of my TPU case).
If someone has a link to a SHORT m-f micro usb extender, SHARE please !!
:good:

HDMI added, and the short extender you want.

Did anyone tried the version with the hdmi?If it works,it could be a good alternative to official smart dock (100$)

It seems that it doesn't charge the note, as per the reviews, when the usb host is used.
I want something that charges it, to use it in the car, sending video to my headrest screens FROM a USB thumb drive. So I'd need USB+HDMI out, plus charging. That would be great to have. But only playing videos from USB drive WHILE CHARGING it would be enough for me. Although there are dongles for the Note 2 that would allow HDMI+Charging, there is nothing AT ALL in the market that would allow USB HOST+Charging capabities. Not an Android phone, not a tablet (other than Toshiba/Acer with USB ports on the side).

I think MHL will not work because the 11 pin vs 5 pin connector we have like the Galaxy S3
Found this comment on amazon:
This thing is magic! All of these different ports in one simple accessory is brilliant! They don't claim that MHL on this unit works with the Samsung Galaxy S3 and sure enough MHL does not. Everything else does though. Having all of these ports on one small accessory makes the most of any compatible smart phone.

But if you also use a Micro USB 5 Pin To 11 Pin (4$ from ebay) I guess it would work

Yes, I'd think so. Still curious about using the USB host while charging.

Maybe not, from the Amazon reviews:
cannot charge and use usb device at the same time.
plug in charger and usb device is disabled.
fails on nexus 7 and galaxy note.

Chances that it would work on the Note 2 are slim I fear.

Anyway I will probably get the older version with the card reader and usb port,it is more portable!
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-S2-Mu...qid=1354305907&sr=1-2&keywords=Juiced+Systems
and when the official smart dock will get cheaper,I will buy it for sure

Is there any way to use both type c at the same time?

As the tittle says, im just curious if there is a way to use both for different peripherals (mouse and keyboard, usb and display, etc)

I did get some alert saying that you should not connect accessory on side and then something else on other type C which could interrupt. If I now remember it right, easiest would to buy a USB C dock and use that instead.

Thanks for replying Jake, i also came to that conclusion, i just wanted to know if there was a way to exploit both of them

wait, how about kunai gampead + fan? i thought they were designed to be used together, one on each usb

With proper accessories I think it works with using both ports then.
But if I understood the warning message I got, it was referring about using other stuff like headset or so idk
Also again I'm not 100% sure that I'm right about this. So if some 1 who has tested would be great that they can confirm that it works fine using both ports at the same time.
