IR blaster for Note8 - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories

Hi,
I really miss the ir blaster from my note 4.
I've seen different external IR blasters that one can plug into the headphone Jack, or the USB C port. But I don't know if they work on the Note8. I've seen it working on a S8 on YouTube, but Samsung may have disabled something specifically on the Note8 that would prevent the external IR blasters to work. For instance, I've read the Note8 only supports OTG through that chunky USB C to USB adapter Samsung put in the Note8 box.
Please, if you have tested a IR blaster on the Note8 (not on other devices) comment about it, giving the model/brand you use, so that I and others like me know what we should buy.
Just for information, I'm on stock rom, not rooted, international Note8.
Thank you very much in advance for helping this noob that I am.

S3 MHL Adapter

Okay, posted several times on Q&A forum and had no luck there so I am trying here. My s3 mhl adapter that I have been using to play games etc. Via the note 2 stopped working from one day from another. It says "hdmi cable connected" when I plug in my note 2, but i get no picture nor sound. I tryed it with my friends s3 and it works. It had been working fine for about 2 weeks before it randomly stopped working.

You may need a new mhl adapter. Just in case, make sure the power adapter is plugged in to the mhl adapter while you plug it into the note 2. I had an mhl adapter for the evo 3d and found out the one for the note 2 is different. From my understanding the s3 one should work on the note 2. Have you tried it on another note 2? That may be difficult for you unless you know a friend who has one. Let us know if you figure it out. I'm still trying to figure out which one to buy on amazon.

Thanks for the reply. Ive tried everything possible and what ive come to think is that it must be software related. Unfortunetly i do not have a friend with a note 2 to try it out. Im going to my friends house to try allshare though (he has a samsung tv) and maybe ill get the dongle instead. I still would want the mhl adapter to work though so i dont need to spend more money.

Okay just found out mhl might not work with root. I used exynosabuse to root my device. That might be the issue. Anyone have a solution?
I use Samsung's MHL adapter to HDMI for my Samsung Plasma in my living room. I Use it to watch my Movies from the computer on the big screen etc. The first day it worked great but after a few days use It cuts in and out every so often. Not sure if its cause the frames are to slow or what? But if you find an MHL adapter for an S3 it WILL work for the Galaxy Note 2... If you check on samsungs site the part #'s for the two are the exact same for all models of S3 (there are like 3-5 models) not only is the part number the same for all those and the note 2. But if you are really anal you can click the link at the bottom of the description that says all compatible models. And the Note 2 will be listed there as well.:good:
Sv: S3 MHL Adapter
You don't need to unroot but you need to start ExynosAbuse and deselect the disable exploit options.

S5 USB AUDIO Out - for the Audiophiles

Just in case anybody was wondering. S5 USB Audio out works .. Hooray !
I haven't extensively tested how much better the audio sounds with USB vs directly from headphone.
My setup
S5 >> USB OTG Cable >> USB Cable to my hippo cricri Amp >> Headphones out.
In case you were wondering, s3 and s4 LTE+ didn't support that. The Note 3 did.
I use s3 us cellular version and works with fiio e17. The same for s4 lte 9505 and note 3.

you're right.. If I remember correctly the Fiio e17 was one of the few dac that works with the s3 and the s4... However, the s3/s4 couldn't work with the bulk of the other dacs, but the note 3 had no problems.
Wonder if I could hookup threw the USB on my Kenwood deck.

That is SO exactly my thought. I love how simple my iPhone would plug into that and I could control it with the stereo, charge it, etc. Can't wait to try this in the morning.
what the headphone out like on the S5 , I normally use a JDS Labs C5D with my S4.

Mine doesn't seem to be working. Any way to troubleshoot the issue?
I have a nuforce udac3
This is exactly what I'm looking for to handle noise when I fly. Just using a LOD from my iPod and iPhone into a low cost Cmoy a few years back made a difference in quality, so getting the digital out of my S5 would be sweet. Previous Androids (the Note and Dell Streak) had low output, at least for my aged Shures. I couldn't hear well over the engine noise in my crappy seats.
Anyone have it working with a portable DAC Amp? I've been looking for a reason to buy a new travel amp and 'phones. I'd like a lower cost amp as losing/damaging it is a real possibility.

Emailed nuforce, this is the response;
We can't confirm any reports that the uDac-2 will work for any Android device, because we don't support it. However, it is experimental, and it might be possible.
The uDac-3 is different than the uDac-2. It will not work on Android because Android does not currently support asynchronous USB playback. The uDac-2 is synchronous, which is standard, and the uDac-3 is asynchronous, and requires OEM drivers for Windows, but Mac OS supports it natively.

Bought this from eBay for 99p http://www.ebay.com/itm/310964760519 and it's just freaking amazing how much better it sounds through the headphones, and the controls on it actually control the volume and mute of the phone like the original headphones do.
Nice thread, but the USB audio out worked just fine for me on the S3 and S4.
Sounds like your DAC wasn't compatible with those models. Or vice versa as the case may have been.
.
USB Audio worked fine on my S3 and S4 as long as it was a touchwiz based ROM and the setting for usb-audio was enabled. However, the setting is missing (or moved?) on my S5.
Did those who got it to work just plug it in with an OTG cable and have it work? Or did you enable USB-audio out? If I recall, that setting was part of the DockMode settings, which Samsung removed.
BTW, the portable amp I'm using is a cheap one recommended on some Hi-Fi forums. It's found on eBay, called ELE HI-FI 01.

USB C Audio-Jack Adaptor?

Overlooked this when buying the tablet, supprised there was no adaptor included. Are they assuming all the buyers are S10 users?
Anyway, will any adaptor work or does it have to be one from Samsung?

The adaptor has to have a dac built in or it will not work with the tablet same with the note 10
The Note 10 dongle has a DAC built in. It should work for the tab s6. I have one ordered right now.
I have USB C audio adapter from Huawei Mate 20 Pro, but when i connect it to the tablet, a message appears that the usb device is not supported.
I have S5e, but it should apply S6
I have few different USB C headset adapter for Pixel and HTC U11 Life, both work as it's supposed to
As much as I hate to say it, the cheap Apple one is one of the best you can get unless you're willing to spend quite a bit more. Did a bunch of reading after I ordered my Note 10+, tests put the Apple one ahead of the Google ones and plenty of others that cost 5 times as much as the Apple one. Works well, but as with all things Apple the cable is going to fray within a year. I added a silicone stress relief that covered the entire cable since I had a bag of them, maybe it'll last two years.
have 2 of those
none are working with korean LTE S6
any idea why?
thanks
Bought this one works perfectly.

This model works on the N10, S8, and my laptop via Type C. My S6 hasn't arrived, but it would likely function given the devices I mentioned. Sound quality is great with my KZ earbuds.

I haven't received my S6 yet but this Google dongle works with my Note 10+ so I imagine it will work with the tablet too.

Oddly enough, the Middle eastern versions (and most probably Europeans) got a type C headphones in the box, i myself bought from Bahrain and we got a type C headphones, albeit the cheap kind but hey it works
USB C connector has analog headphone connection
They are switched in with some sense ID magic, but there is left, right, and microphone analog wires. You can find the details in a search.
Any cheap (non-DAC) headphone adapter should work as it is just the right wiring and maybe a few resistors on the right pins. I have one that works.
I purchased 2 and both make hissing soumd, One was noname, the other Baesus make both ****.

Gamepad controllers for 7t?

I bought the phone a couple days ago, looking forward to using it! I wanted to know if there were any gamepad controllers like this: https://fliptroniks.com/5-best-gaming-controllers-for-oneplus-7-pro/ but for the 7t.
I had a Moga Hero Pro and it works fine on my OnePlus 7T.
Most of those should work on the 7T. Those seem generic and just rely on bluetooth for connection. Basically any non-iOS controller will work if it supports Dinput on bluetooth or USB (with USB-C OTG adapter).
XBOX Bluetooth works like a dream. im going to run a few test prints to attach the phone to it and will give you guys feed back later

Would any of the gamevice controllers work? The ones for the newer Samsung phones have usb-c, is that what I should get? I want something that I can play in public and not look stupid like those full-in controller ones.

Unless Gamevice makes a specific model that is labeled to fit the 7T, I would say avoid. I wouldn't know if the 7T's dimensions and port placement compare all that well with the Samsung Galaxy models, or the Pixels, supported by Gamevice.

USB-C to 3.5mm Dongle Issue (& Recommendations?)

What's going on 8T friends? I was hoping you guys might have some input and/or recommendations for a *GOOD* headphone dongle...one that has been tested to work without issue, specifically with this phone - the OnePlus 8T.
I want to start by apologizing for the super long-winded post!!! I also want to preface this by saying there is a possibility my issue may not lie w/ my current adapter, but possibly w/ my car's (old) aftermarket head unit...though I think it's unlikely given its never had an issue w/ any other phone or dongle.
*EDIT: I suppose it's also possible that there's some firmware issue & perhaps an update might resolve it, but I'm at the mercy of T-Mobile US & their *SLOW* update schedule. International phones have had like 4 updates in a month, & we've only had the day one update (still no AOD!).
I know it should be something super simple and there's likely many, *MANY* similar threads in other devices' forums, along w/ OnePlus Community & Reddit as well. But *please*, just hear me out. I feel like a dumb**s for even having to post this. There's crazy inconsistency w/ what's supposed to be a f***ing universal standard...this s**t is far from working universally!
I've had experience with 3 separate models of adapter w/ my previous phone, the OnePlus *7 Pro* (on Android 10). With the 7 Pro, I found that the Essential Phone's dongle worked flawlessly in every scenario I need it for. It's less expensive than the official Oneplus branded one, & generally just of better quality, w/ a thicker braided cable. I also had the official a OnePlus dongle which also worked perfectly w/ my old 7 Pro, but I lost the damn thing...plus, it's just too expensive, & OnePlus doesn't even have it in stock?!?! I also used the Apple dongle - surprisingly cheaper than OnePlus' dongle, but the volume level was permanently way too low, w/ no way to resolve that (I tried for nearly a month). The Apple one has long since been returned.
I am currently still using the Essential dongle as it's the only one I haven't yet lost or returned, but I'm running into a strange issue on both my phone & my girl's 8T as well (both are T-Mobile branded 8Ts, the "8T+5G", which is the exact same hardware the rest of the world gets, just w/ different firmware). The Essential dongle is flawless w/ the 7 Pro, & also flawless when just plugging it in to regular headphones - but when hooking it up to an aux cable & plugging it into our car's old, aftermarket head unit to play music or videos, there is a completely random/intermittent issue where whatever app is playing audio will pause itself, & then more often than not it'll also start making this crazy, strange, squealing distortion sound...but no longer any actual audio. This occurs regardless of what app we're using to play music or videos (YouTube Music, regular YouTube, Spotify, etc.). It seems to be totally random, sometimes working fine for a bit, but then going completely haywire...and once it's starts happening, it just won't quit. Sometimes switching to another app will start it, sometimes an incoming text message will start it, & sometimes it'll do it all by itself. This happens w/ USB OTG enabled or disabled, & I've tested it w/ 3 separate aux cables.
I'm at a loss, & I just wanted to get someone else's input before buying like 5 random ones of Amazon or eBay. We're at the point where we're just listening to old CDs because we can't stream anything current, & we're too broke to replace a head unit just to find that's not even the issue. *THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MADDENING*.
I would just buy the OnePlus dongle again, but they can't be bothered to keep it in inventory...at least for customers in the US. Any thoughts at all on what the issue could be would be infinitely appreciated, asking w/ dongle recommendations as well of course.
*THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME RAMBLE!!!*

Thank you so much for your reply. I noticed you mentioned analog. Do you think the issue might be from the Essential one being active? That never occurred to me...I always assumed active ones would be better, instead of relying on the phone's DAC. You might be on to something there! Thanks again

I went to best buy and tested the Google and apple dongles. . The apple one sounded great but suffered from the low volume issue. The Google one sounded great and had no low volume issue. I kept that one. Returned the apple one.
It works flawlessly. Is $12. It also has a great Soundstage and volume. No problems here in anyway.
Also, just as a heads up, I use it with PowerAmp and it sounds great really. I have a lg v20 for when I want the best sound but this does the trick for when I'm just trying to not have a million peripherals.

It's just a heads-up
Apple headset with lightning plug with Anker USB-C to lightning combo also works well with Poweramp custom output setting
Sound is distorted with default settings, but when you use the following settings, you will love this combo
DVC enabled
OpenSL Hi res having USB DAC enabled
Press the gear and bypass EQ
I wondered why I didn't purchase Poweramp license?

I went and bought a Samsung USB-C headphone adapter after I lost two previous OnePlus adapters with my 6T. Well, it worked flawlessly until I ended up losing it as well. Bought mine from BestBuy.
