[Just For Fun] Wireless Charging Case? - Nexus 5X Accessories

like the title said, i was just wondering so are there any possibilities of a USB C wireless charging case or receiver strip for USB C
since it was never mention by anyone *from my search results*

Yeah, a wireless charging case could work. It would need a USB-C connector, no huge thing AFAIK.
However, I personally don't use a case on my phones, I prefer "nearly naked" (ie - a skin).
I'd like to see a good quality third-party receiver coil that I could install inside the back cover and that wouldn't interfere with the fingerprint scanner - but I expect that there just won't be enough room in there.

gold pin connectors // usb docking

Hey y'all, just a quick question that might lead to further discussion:
Do the gold pin connectors on the side (and by extension, the official Sony dock) support USB data?
I'm hoping the answer is yes, but anticipating no. This brings up a second bit I want to discuss:
If the gold pins are only for charging, and the only way to physically "connect" with the phone is in the covered USB slot, how will we get any fitted docks that can do anything more than just charge the phone?
I'm thinking docks for a desktop or car for syncing or music purposes.

Charging only, and no you won't get *fancy* docks.

Chromecast hdmi extender replacement

After almost 10 months of usage my Chromecast hdmi extender that I happen to have used on all hdmi lateral ports of my household TVs started to malfunction. It is giving me blank screens, apparently the Chromecast weight after all this months finally took its toll.
I wonder if anyone here knows where I can get a replacement? I know that there are port savers sold online, but the one that came with Chromecast has a very specific lenght that I think will suit me well.
Any ideas/sugestions?
This one is a bit longer than you're looking for, but you may want to consider the 90-degree style if you can.
I know some Samsungs have recessed and fairly crowded ports, but it does help to reduce the torque on the connector. Torque and twisting especially along the "short" axis of the connector usually spells death, as it strains the connector's connection to the mainboard and eventually pops the "legs" of the connector (the part that connects to the mainboard) off.

Not the kind of extender the OP is looking for... if you're going to do a balun type extender you may as well just use your device's HDMI output.

Rear seat video player

I have a Hyundai Tucson with a Kenwood DNX692. I would like to have a rear seat entertainment for my rear seat passengers. I was exploring various options and most are priced pretty high. We made do with an ipad mounted to rear screen on a trip. Although it was good, it did have a few disadvantages:
1. Inability to control what was running.
2. Inability to control the downtime.
3. Additional hassle of either downloading or using data
4. Inability to play DVDs
Searching for seatback options, I thought of another idea. Why not just get two android tablets (cheap ones, not like Samsung galaxy - https://www.alibaba.com/product-det...galleryofferlist.normalList.80.72f95f61UXzwUq) and just wire it with the HDMI input from my Kenwood. Theoretically speaking, all I need to do is get the output from my Kenwood(not sure what it is) and convert it into HDMI. So all I need is to run the cable to my rear seat and a couple of charging cables to my rear seat as well. I will then need to use a HDMI adapter with Charging port similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/CHOETECH-Ada...keywords=galaxy+s9+hdmi&qid=1548202641&sr=8-3. I am even looking at removing the battery from the tablet. That way it powers on only if my car is switched on. Is this possible? Has anyone done this here?

USB-C hub for Razer Phone 2?

Looking to find a USB hub for my phone. I see a ton of them online, and some of them even kinda say they work with phones. But I know not all of them do. Looking for one that can output HDMI and has at least one USB-A input (two would be nice, but not a deal breaker). I do realize it'll probably require PD input, that's not a problem. [email protected] would be my preference too as a minimum. The goal is to use my phone as a portable gaming device, so I'm hoping to have low input lag for the wired controller.
My hope is somebody has found a decent one that they've tried with this phone and works. Would also accept testimony from people who have tried it on the V30, or any other flagship USB-C Android phone that isn't Samsung (they use DeX, I need no feedback on that).
So... Anybody got any personal experience to share on this topic? Realize it's kind of a tall order, but I'm hoping somebody has found one that works and is reasonably priced.
I too would like to know this if anyone has some info on it. At the moment i have tried 2 different docks, the Alogic USB-C Dock Plus which is just plain **** to say the least, if you connect the charger and HDMI it will eventually crash the systemui freezing you completely. The other dock i have tried is a Satechi Slim Multi_Port Adapter which works to HDMI but does'nt charge the device at all even though it has a charger slot for it & chargers my other phones fine plugged in via the same cable.
MS Display Dock
I have used a Microsoft Display Dock, has 2 USB A-Ports, HDMI, DisplayPort, & charges simultaneously. The Razer Phone work fine with it (TESTED), but honestly the phone seems to be capable of being compatible with any Hub save the ones for the Nintendo Switch. Being that the Microsoft Display Dock is discontinued & old, you can probably find good bargains from 30$ or more. While it is name brand and, from personal experience, its a well built piece of tech, you might want to consider how you plan to listen to your device, and think about adapters with Aux-out if you plan to used wired headphones.
I was goofing around at work and we have these USB c travel adapters that have a USB, HDMI, Ethernet, and vga out, but can't charge at the came time. Upon further goofing around I plugged in Dell WD15 dock, bingo, full output on everything. Comes with a charger so it charges, Ethernet, display port, vga, USB ports. They run about 130 on Amazon right now. Plugged in our projector to it, then some external speakers, Bluetooth my gamepad to it. Loaded my some emulators and I was playing Mario kart while taking some support calls.

recommended docks?

Can someone recommend a dock where I can plugin in, let it stand while charging. It should be possible to quick charge and it would be cool if other USB C extensions (like OTG/ HDMI) would be possible.
Sounds more like a niche product. I'm sure it exists tho. Just search on google and you are bound to find it. Personally I just use a wireless charger. It works quite well, I just stick my phone there and it charges.
