I hope sombody can help me and others.
sorry for my bad english.

Useless. All you could do is charge the phone and connect to a PC with USB cable. No sound, no video, no extra functions as those use extra connections and proprietary protocols that only the iphone has.

pretty much agree with kilrah, even if in theory some accessories geared towards just the audio could benefit from a ipod->microusb+jack solution, even if that would be ugly
Reality is, ipod/iphone specific accessories are 90% for "happy people" (read carefully through the words), and a hd2 user true to himself doesn't want those

i agree with you ephestione...
if the HD2 had all the endlessly possible amount of accesories like the iphone, i wouldn't want a HD2.
i like the exclusivity(?) of my HD2, i like that some people find the sheer size of the HD2 offensive, i like the looks on their faces when i show them how much better it is than an iphone.
with accesories comes more customers looking for the latest fad, i dont want that. if i want an accesory, i'll make it myself
i cannot tear myself away from this forum no matter how hard i try
for audio i just use a simple 3.5mm jack to 2 phono, plugged into my hi-fi...
bluetooth and windows sideshow when im showing off

So you guys wouldn't want a Bose sound dock?

We could just use a phono lead as quasi_mojo said and hook it up to a bose hi-fi

both my hd2 and my bluetooth headset use the same micro usb, so i only need one wall charger and one car charger...
i use bluetooth to play audio through my car headunit, a jack to phono cable for playing on my home hifi, bluetooth again with sideshow or g-remote to control my media pc's...
i dont really see the need for another cable based on what the hd2 is capable of...wireless options are always going to be better
what excatly did you have in mind when you started this thread?
and no i wouldnt want a bose sound dock, mainly because of the ridiculous price and also due to the national grid already struggling to provide my house with enough juice to power the gear i have already lol

Tv-Out Quality

I recently purchased a 3.5mm to video/audio cable for my samsung captivate and I am noticing that the quality of the videos on the 46" LCD TV is not that great compared to when i watch the same videos on my computer. The cable I purchased is a Scoshe brand that I found locally from Fry's Electronics.
Is the sub-par quality due to the phone output or the cable itself? What has been your experiences with TV-Out?
Thanks.

You're using a VGA cable, you'll never get HD quality content. It's akin to trying to run a VHS on your new 46" TV. It'll just never look as good as the HD content you've come to expect in the last few years.
For me, it works well enough on my GF's old 90's tv if we're going to watch a movie or some TV shows. I would never use it on my TV at home though.

dude not vga, rca, aka composite video. composite is a notch above vhs and a notch below dvd. so yeah it's the tv out and the cable.
hopefully the micro usb to hdmi will work on the captivate with a future update. there are reports that it works on the epic. if not you can share with dlna via allshare.
i have a $50 media box thing from netgear and it works but the phone cant push the video to it you can only tick the video for playback (dont add to playlist) and let the other end play the video. also windows media center can be a dlna server and an xbox can play it as a media center extender, the ps3 is also dlna certified. there are also upnp apps in the market that should work with xbox. and ftp and webdav apps that will let you mount the phone as a webdrive or access with a browser. i know many of those options are great in the home but useless for travel and if your home you dont need it anyway.
the netgear device i have is very portable but unfortunately you still need a usb wireless adapter to use it, im sure there are similar devices that have built in wireless but may be more expensive.

Thanks for the respones. Would you suggest getting a "higher quality" cable or am I just basically stuck with what I got? The pictures and videos look blurry (and pixelated) when I view them on the TV and I just want to know if it has anything to do with the cable.

live with it till the usb to hdmi thing works
edit; if the cable feels very thin and fragile it may have poor noise rejection, some are not sheiled very well. also if the you had to mix the colors around to get it to work that's not good. video cables are a different impedance so you need to use the yellow one for video. i know 3.5mm av cables dont follow a standard format and i dont know if you had to mix and match connectors to get a picture. but on a 46 inch tv you wont get good quality no matter how high the cable quality is, it's just an old inferior technology and why the make s-video, componant video, vga, dvi and hdmi.

I have a 46 inch LCD and have attached the phone to it. A HD movie looks ok, but not near as good as running via the PC at 1080p via HDMI. When and if they get the microUSB to HDMI working, we should see an improvement.

My cars OEM rear camera to usb conversion?

Hi. I have dvr which came with reverse camera.
It has small round 5pin connector.
I opened a tiny box on its cable, there was a USB hub circuit inside, probably working just as extender.
Now i would like to use my cars own rear camera instead.
I have also huifei HU and it came with buckconverter for power suply and has also yellow video RCA that is now routed to my HU.
I could use a Y-splitter to ged another rca composite video signal OUT, but what do i need to convert it to dvr´s usb INput?
Ps: photo is taken with my new S8plus using auto settings

Mate 10 Pro connection to Kenwood DNX525/DNX516

Hello,
I have never been a chinese devices fan nor I will be. However, I've got my hands on the Mate 10 Pro a week ago and I'm using it and testing. I have to say it's not the best phone out, but has a lot of potential.
I thought it might be interesting and useful to give others some guide about connecting the Mate 10 Pro to a car head unit from Kenwood (2 versions I have already tested - DNX 525 and DNX 516). I've smashed my head to the walls looking and reading for a proper solution to connect it to the radio car unit and I couldn't find anything. Main reason is because both Kenwoods are using a HDMI <-> Micro-usb cable and that's ONLY for older devices (until USB-C came on the market). So, basically, if you're trying to get an adapter USB-C to Micro-usb WILL NOT WORK! You have to use the above cable hdmi to usb-c!
1. Look for a HDMI splitter - 1 x father and 2 x mother so you can connect 2 devices at the same time (just like the one here: http://www.vivanco.com/Homepage/Products/Audio-Video-Antenna-Cable/Video/HDMI-Adapter/vivanco-42144-hdmi-splitter-1-2-black-0-5m.html?id=nsession;
2. Open the radio car unit and disassemble the original HDMI <-> Micro-usb and connect the above splitter;
3. Connect BOTH HMDI cables (the original one and the second one);
4. You'll have to find a solution to get both cables to the front of the IP so you can connect car head unit to the mobile phone (instrument panel - either on the gloves compartment or by making a hole to the small compartment beneath the air condition climatic control - this is actually very easy);
5. Assemble everything back and start the unit;
6. Connect the USB-C to the Mate 10 Pro (or any other mobile phone with USB-C connector) and voila! You'll have the complete screen on the radio car unit.
You also need to install onto your phone the Android app from Kenwood (that will open the MHL/HDMI).
What you can't do on the DNX525:
1. you can't control the phone through the radio unit - you have to use the phone to control it!
Let's say you have a Note4 and a Huawei Mate 10 Pro - YOU CAN NOT use both of them at the same time! Only one!
Everything is related to VW Golf (5, 6, Plus).
Apologies, I had no time for taking pictures .

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.
