I purchased this bad boy for my S4 so I could hook my external computer speakers to the dock and play from my phone while it is connected. Unfortunately, the Note 5 is too large to fit. I debated trying to dremel some of the plastic to make it fit but figured I'd look for a new dock first. I haven't seen any that include an audio port unfortunately. Do you guys know of one? I was searching specifically for the Note 5 but perhaps one that is for a different model is compatible? Any ideas?
what about just getting a cheap Bluetooth adapter. No dock needed. Or you can get this, but remember that the plug has changed since the s4, so there is a chance audio won't work. Again, get a regular charging stand or a wireless fast charge and a cheap usb Bluetooth adapter to play music from your phone though your computer.

It is a work computer so I can't do jack on it or else I would have just hooked the speakers directly up to it. I want my phone to stand up and charge at my desk and play audio to non-bluetooth speakers. I guess I could buy a wireless (or wired) dock/stand AND a bluetooth receiver that hooks directly up to audio cable but I'm not sure the price on that. I guess that will be my solution unless someone can come up with something. I'm sure there HAS to be a dock out there compatible but I guess everything is moving wireless these days.
I have this setup at work (except the speaker I have is older)

Are you trying to get the audio into the computer? or just use the work speakers?
They do have BT audio adapters that you can plug speakers into...

Yeah, I had my regular computer speakers hooked up to the S4 phone dock with 3.5mm cable. I guess my choices at this point are 1. Find a dock the Note 5 will fit into that has a 3.5mm port or go with a wireless dock and get a bluetooth receiver for the desktop speakers.

I'd really like to get one of these: fm transmitter
But there's no real sense if the phone doesn't get charged while driving.
So is there one around that does also charge the phone or how would I go about charging the phone while being able to listen to music on the car radio?
http://www.onlytouchpro2.com/oemhtcmuauca.html
I would try the "break out box" that comes with the htc touch pro 2. I connected it to my touch pro 2 and was able to simultaneously charge the phone, and push audio out through the 3.5mm on that.
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to charge the phone (through the bottom port) and have your fm transmitter coming out of the right side, where it shows the headphones. Let us know!

looked around for something similar a couple of months ago and ended up buying this. phone plugged in and charging. music b/t to hands free kit and them fm to the stereo. also (unsurprisingly) works well as a hands free kit.

Is there alternative way to have this particular fm transmitter charge the phone at the same time?
I was wondering if the current charger for the fmtalk is 5V and the phone will require a 5V, does it work if I can get a car charger with output of 8 to 10V? Or will that fry the devices instead??
I'm hesitant to get another accessory just to use this thing and charge at the same time as it makes the whole setup very clumsy...
Any help is deeply appreciated!
6 months late
what you need is probably a Y connector where at one end you have a mini usb jack and at the other end a 3.5mm jack. hope the current doesn't interfere with the audio. if you had one of these....

This one has a USB port so you can charge at the same time you are playing.
Here is the dock I made. Does anyone know if there is a magnet on the dell to dell if it is in a car dock? I would like to add that to my dock if possible.
I built my own car dock to mount in what used to be a coin tray on my 06 F150. Could be a little higher maybe but I had a spot I never used so I thought I would take advantage of it.

and here it is in the truck
Nicely done!
Which cable are you using there?
I might sugguest for the next time that you take apart a Home Dock (since it includes both power and line-out from the PDMI connector on the Streak) and use that so you can have permanently mounted power/audio out going into the truck's audio system.
Superb! You should sell your design to one of the accessories companies!
What I like about it is it looks really un-cluttered and the device is not swamped by the cradle.
Also, it looks like there's probably no 'wobble'. Which is good.
Not sure about the magnet, but what a superb design.
That is pretty cool Kevin! I don't think the Dell has a car dock mode so I doubt there would be any magnets. (I could be wrong though)

I know they offer a car kit but I can not see any spot that looks like it houses a magnet and I have run a magnet around the back of the phone.. no luck.
holy crap this is pimpin
My dell streak came with the clear hard shell protector that covers the sides and back, so I am working on permanently connecting that to the inside of my 4Runner.. we'll see how that goes
Nice job. It looks awesome. Is it made out of plastic or aluminum?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Absolutely stunning! Didn't quite understand how you get audio through usb though...
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
erm, i don't think he DOES get audio through USB.
I'm guessing it mounts the streak as a removable storage device so the head unit can access the mp3 files on it....
I connect to my Pioneer unit via bluetooth and I gotta say the Streak's BT audio streaming is awesome! Really clear and powerful.

Grrrrr. Try next time use commas and dots behind sentences. Very hard to understand!
First about HDMI to RCA. It can be done but not cheap. One example about similar question.
to second question i cant ansver. Dont have clue. I Think it acts like any laptop when its attached with hdmi cable to another device.

Better use some bluetooth receiver for car use (example)
Hi, can you folks reccomend some amplified speakers for use with my Nexus when in the car?
Its great as a sat nav but not loud enough so something that I can fit perhaps at the back of it when in a bracket and powered by 12v/5v ?
I have searched but not come up with much.
Cheers,
Sid
got this ninja turtle speaker at toys r us for my sons tablet in the back seat that is mounted on the head rest. it plugs into the headphone jack and is powered by usb (rechargeable) so you can plug it into any usb car charger. plenty loud and decent sound for the price. they had a bunch of different styles if you're not into ninja turtles lol including a bomb shaped one that was pretty cool looking. it sits on a key ring so you can clamp it to anything http://www.toysrus.com/buy/electronics/audio/speakers/speakers-docks/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-portable-ipod-speaker-orange-55065-tru-17356136

Just did a survey of portable ( pocket-able ) amplified speakers, the best sound under 300euros is the JBL charge
http://www.jbl.com/estore/jbl/us/products/JBL-Charge/JBL%20CHARGE_JBL_US
The best above 300 is the BOSE
http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/digital_music_systems/bluetooth_speakers/soundlink_wireless_speaker/index.jsp
My tests centered on hi-fi quality, so were performed with a wired link NOT the bluetooth
Thank you but I was thinking of something for in the car, 20 euros being too much to pay let alone 100+ :good:

The Logitech USB speaker works with USB-OTG and it's pretty loud. Combine that with a Y cable for charging and it's not a bad setup. I got mine for $20usd locally on clearance.

Bought the same speaker for about the same price and agree. Decent improvement over the builtin ones although not audiophile or even close but then it's not audiophile priced either.

Get a Lepai. Makes it simple to run normal speakers.

Thanks for the suggestions folks.
Maybe this need a change to the car audio setup so I can use the car radio.
Problem with that is that its a fiat with blue & me that uses the aux IP for the computer input.
Cheers.
Sid.
You could still use the Lepai for your car stereo also. Just run the audio out on the car stereo to the audio in rca jacks on the Lepai and then hook the cars speakers to the outs on the Lepai.
Tesco have been selling an Altec Lansing speaker for about £7.50 it's a single speaker but has amazing sound, fills the cab of my van without any problems. Battery powered and the batteries seem to last forever.
Now that's more like it.
Cheers.
Hello,
I'm looking for an OTG to USB Type C adapter that allows charging at the same time. Does such a device exist? Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance
Not sure. Have you tried looking at powered USB type c hubs to see if this will also net the same result? I might consider this if and when I get a note8. Dex station might also do this. Haven't really checked it out but assume it will.

Yeah you need a hub. I usually find eBay had better prices then Amazon
I just use this to project. Looking for another one that can charge etc.

USB C pasthrough powered docking typically has no Adaptive Charging.
A product that may fit your need for pass through charging. I'm using the j5create model JCA374. Ports include HDMI, Ethernet, 2x USB 3 OTG, Type C pass through power in (standard charging rate), and a USB C cable to connect to the hosting device.
Besides no support for Adaptive Charging it does get warm. I am considering attaching a heat sync to its metal case.
Enjoy your mobile life.

The DEX station has two caveats I am aware of.
It does have a USB C input charging port. This port does not support adaptive charging. So I am concerned that a heavily utilized phone could slowly discharge despite the charger. This was the one flaw I could not surmount with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 tablet.
The DEX station male USB C docking port is to short to support any case that provides any coverage around the phones port.
Enjoy your mobile life.
Does the j5create model JCA374 start Dex on the S8? are USB transfers truly 3.0 speeds and gigabit truly over 100Mbps using this adapter? I'm looking at this as an alternative to the Dex station because I use an Otterbox Defender case on my S8 and also because of the lower price. Thanks.
