Is that the generation 1 headset, which was Micro USB and not USB-C?

Where does it say that?
I've looked at that link and the S9 isn't mentioned.
Look at the connector - if it's Micro USB it is completely the wrong headset.View attachment 4481306

Using the Galaxy S3 as a PC- Possible?

Hi,
I recently bought my Galaxy S3 and I just love it, way much better than the iPhone 4S I had!
Anyway,
I thought to myself- will it be possible to use the S3 as a PC?
I mean by using a Windows 7/8 emulator and an HDMI cable to make my galaxy S3 actually a portable PC?
I can really see the potential in this for people who can't afford a gaming PC.
Thanks and all the best!
AW: Using the Galaxy S3 as a PC- Possible?
In a limited sense you can.
You can connect a mouse, a keyboard, a monitor and a game pad.

Thanks, I knew that and i bought an OTG cable a few days ago.
So it isn't possible to make the S3 run Windows 7/8?

No and you would need MS licence anyway .

No, xp and 98/95 can but on an emulator it is really slow. Barely can play minesweeper.

Are you guys using the Samsung cable or a generic one?

Is there a difference between 4 pin for the Sammy one and 5 pins for generic ones?

Are you talking about the USB cable? I lost my original S3 cable, hence I am using my old HTC Desire cable now. Didn't see any difference yet.

Apparently the Samsung one gave me troubles when charging. Like stopping at a certain percent and not charging anymore.. Tried another and that one has no problems.. How many pins does yours have?

hmmm interesting. Anyone knows why sammy has 4 pins instead?
Generic. The samsung cable is unstable, therefore often charges too slow due to usb charger stability detection.

Strange. My Samsung cable provided has 5 pins. But oh well, as long it doesn't give me problems, i will use it.

What brand is your cable? If i get a HTC's cable, would it work better than Samsung's one?

No brand. Generic. Bought a couple from a Market stall.
Multiple cables .
original cable use if Odin problems is old advice .

Well, I guess, those extra pins won't make a difference, coz the slot in ur S3 may have the same no of contact points as there are pins in original S3 cable..!
I use a cheap no brand one when I'm at work and the Samsung cable at home. No differences at all.

search amazon for charge only micro usb, bazillions.
Thanks ! Actually I did it but I only found the "Portapow" model said not to be compatible with the Note 2. So I guess this would be the same for the Note 3.
Sent from my SM-N9005 with Tapatalk
I found that trick. From what I understand you have to cut and solder the green and white wires initially used for data.
Does anyone know if it is safe for the phone and computer (or the house when connected to the wall outlet) ??
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...+m,aps&rh=i:aps,k:charge only micro usb cable
I only found one in the list that ship to France. He is the one mentioning the cable is not compatible with the Note 2. I guess that's only about the fast charging feature. ..
Thanks for your help ! I just ordered one. I'll soon know if it rocks.

If you use the adapters for the Galaxy Tablet then any cable becomes a no-data high current charging cable.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/190677630730?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Using this I get 1800mA charging for my N3 (and no data).
iGO cable is your choice, but it's rather expensive (and you have to buy micro USB plug). The cable is NOT data capable.
Thanks for the trick Craig ! This is an interesting solution easier to carry in a bag and when needed data are avaliable.

To be able to fast-charge from a PC USB port without having a custom kernel that allows it. The note 3 is capped at 450mA on USB.

In case you've forgot the power block for the wall outlet when visiting some of your customers, you may have to connect to someone computer to refill. For security reason it's better to avoid spreading some data of one of your customer to the network of another one.
Same story when you are using the USB of a computer connected to an unknown network: all the content of your phone can be used (personal and professional) and I guess you may get some viruses that will be happy to contaminate other computers when you'll connect your phone to their USB.
A no data cable is a physical protection.

You could just splice a normal cable and cut the white and green cores?

Some of the newer USB 3.0 hubs, e.g. the 10 port from Anker provide a charge only connection (2.1 A). The 9 remaining are data and power (0.9 A each)

I have just obtained simple, not aptx, BT earphones Awei A920 BL. They pair without problem and play but there is no information in what mode they currently run. Oh and they do not cooperate with Kodi but this may be Kodi problem.

Bump (to help)
Not an owner of the device (yet), but if you're rooted you can check logcat for what codec is being used.
Install catlog, establish a connection and it should give the information.

I don't think you can use a cable. Early on, there was talk about a build.prop edit that could enable Miracast. I never looked into it as Chromecast works for me. Kodi can be installed on unrooted Chromecast. My mistake. I have it installed on Fire Stick.

I'm pretty sure that doesn't work. I have that set-up for my old Galaxy Nexus (the HDMI adapter isn't with me atm), but I would be using it with my N9 if it had worked. I can test it out next week. We use hubby's iPad mini 2 to connect directly to TV when traveling and can't use Chromecast.

I brought back the connector (https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Supported-Samsung-Sensation-Rezound/dp/B006FTKM12) last night but will try it on my old GNex (which is currently charging) to make sure connector is still functional. Then I'll test N9. I'll post back by 8pm edt.
I'm sure all of this is pointless. I finally located the info re HDMI and Nexus 9 (https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/tAmu4gd8S0U;context-place=topicsearchin/nexus/Nexus$209$20and$20hdmi). It's hardware--not a matter of no software connect (like N4 and usb otg) for an included component. On N9, the hardware isn't included.
MHL absolutely does not work. I'm certain slimport does not work, but I'd never purchased a slimport adapter to actually try it.

Can you clarify this comment. I have the original Chromecast, and I see no way of installing apps on it. Was that added to the 2nd gen Chromecast?

After trying to locate the info I used, I realized that I had installed it on my Fire Stick, not on my Chromecast--which is also a 1st gen. I edited that post to show my misinformation. However, I did locate some YouTubes that might help you stream your Kodi to Chromecast. Maybe you already can do that.. This might work, but also read the responses from users. This is another.
