Hey everyone,
I'm having problems when connecting the thunderbolt to my Sony usb stereo. It asks me what I want to do and I choose charge only but it doesn't charge.
I use to have the Droid X and it worked fine on the stereo.
Anyone having the same problem?
Any hints or tips for this?

Your deck usb port might not provide enough power for the thunderbolt...but might have for the droid x. The usb addon for my pioneer never worked for charging when I had it installed. Just read flash dives, but that's just my two cents on the problem...could be something else.

I know some devices (like my Motorola dumb phone) will not charge over generic USB power (power and ground only), but if you use a USB "Data blocker" (grounded data pins) some of them will charge. This may be the same way... or it could be the whole requires more than just 5V to initiate charge without detecting data (meaning a PC connection).
You could try placing some MP3s on your SD card and tell your radio to "play" the usb drive and set the phone to automatically mount as a drive. That may do it, if not, look into the grounded out USB cable.
I just installed a lighter receptacle behind the stereo and ran up a car charger (not a usb charger) through the back of the dash to the car dock.
I was able to get the phone to charge via the USB port on my kenwood deck, but it was USB power, and discharged faster than it could charge.
It now reports charging AC, and charges normally. Cost $6 at radio shack.
I just tapped into the positive and negative wires that were already going to the original 12v lighter.
I'm actually having a reverse problem. My phone charges in my car stereo's USB slot, but the receiver doesn't recognize it as a USB drive. The phone doesn't even notice there's a USB connection, even though it's charging.
Oh well. It has AUX too so, no problem really.

I have the same problem, but I suspect that's because of that stupid "Verizon Mobile" virtual CD on the phone. I bet that's what your deck sees and can't find any music.
If anyone knows how to get rid of that partition without rooting the phone, I'd like to know.
In my case I have to use the Bluetooth connection. That works, but it doesn't give me the song information on the deck. Might have to revert to an old iPod for our music in the car.

With my old Incredible, my car stereo acted differently. It would see the phone and the phone would ask me to go into disk mode. After a few moments of scanning, the receiver would say "Invalid Media". I was also on CM7 for a little and I was actually able to get the receiver to play music thought it.
It's a Pioneer DVD player.. Unfortunately with the Thunderbolt, it doesn't do any of the abolve. It just says "No Device" and the phone doesn't even do anything except charge. Doesn't ask me to mount.
Okay I found a solution. I believe the problem was the Verizon crap that ran when plugged in. I installed The Perfect Storm Rom and now its charging fine.

Is there a way, without have the home or car dock from Samsung, to get the audio to come out via the USB port?
I have tried both Car Home and Desk Home apps (also both the ones that came pre-installed on Bionix V and the Version 2 ones from the market) and I see no setting to enable audio through the USB port. Is there some "trigger" that gets fired when plugged into a Samsung dock that enables the USB audio port?

Sorry for the cross-post but check out Post 63 and Post 64 in the Captivate Audio out through USB (car dock) thread.
I don't think it has been validated, pretty much just speculation at the moment.
Well, that is not exactly what I am talking about.
My car reciever has a USB plug that I can hook up the phone with.
I can charge my phone but I cannot get it to play any of the music on my phone. My reciever states that there are no tracks.
A little more complex would be to have actual audio routed through the USB port like if I had the official sammy docks. I do not have a dock.
I suspected that we could just flip a bit here or there to get audio out through the USB (not just use the phone as USB storage for the mp3 files).

i have a pioneer premier that worked flawlessly with my iphone. it has 2 usb inputs, and aux in. I WANT TO CONNECT VIA USB. Please dont offer advise about bluetooth or headphone jack.
Normally, if i plug the phone into the laptop, i can choose all the options like charge only, mount as disk drive, etc. When i plug the phone into the wall outlet, i do not get any options, it just charges. When i plug it into the car stereo usb, it just charges, and i dont get any options to turn on mount as hard drive.
does anyone know how i can "force" it to mount as a hard drive, or how the phone actually knows its a laptop and an outlet? maybe i can jumper some wires, or something.
thanks
I too would like to know this

no, not really. im going to have to post about it in the bamf thread...
Has anyone else experienced bad audio distortion while using the car dock? I noticed that when I unplug the charging cord it sounds fine...
I have not experienced this, maybe a bad ground on your charging port?
sent straight from my brain....
is there any way to correct that?
add another ground. I would try another car adaptor first though or your set up in another car. That will help narrow it down to the car or the set up.
Another thing to note is it might be dirty power. The way i hooked up the radio in the saab i have a constant humm (raised ground floor) due to a small fan that always runs on the same circuit i pulled either accessory power or the switched light feed. Hence why I am saying to try it in another car.

Are you using the USB charger that came with the dock?
At first I just used my own USB charger I all ready had in the car and got audio distortion ...
I switch to the one Motorola included with the car dock and audio was clear as a bell
Have any of you guys found the neck to be a bit short for windshield mounting? I was thinking of getting this one to replace an old bracketron bracket I have but I doing know if the neck is long enough to see and manipulate the screen properly.
I am going to try a ground loop isolator to see if that makes a difference!
I'm having an issue with the car dock and audio when a song first starts off. When the audio starts I hear a popping sound. It does it when I first open the stock music player or anytime a new song starts with Slacker radio. It also does it when I first open tune in radio or when it restarts music after losing a connection (buffering). It seems to only do it when I plug into the adaptor which attaches to the mini USB plug. If I plug it directly into the phone through the headphone jack, it plays fine without any popping sound. Is this a common problem, or do I have a bum car dock? If some others can try their docks out, this would be great so I know if it is a common issue or not. It seems to be more pronounced at high volumes.
I'm not having any distortion but mine won't charge. I thought that it might be the cord but it will charge my wife's EVO, so I then took the cord into the house and used a wall plug and tried to see if it would charge that way. No luck.
It seems to charge using everything else but that cord even though that same cord WILL charge other phones????
I'm going to return it and get a different one but was wondering if anyone has had this issue at all?
Just weird...
Update...
If I use another USB it will charge and all but not go into dock mode. I still don't understand why it would charge other phone models but not the MoPho itself...
Yeah if you unplug the usb cord from the dock it def. wont charge the MoPho. My girl tried to charge her droid 2 on it too and it wont work. I assume it was designed that way.. motorola.. go figure

It's not charging it either way, whether its plugged into the dock or just having the cable plugged directly into the MoPho but it will charge the wife's 3VO plugging the cord directly into hers.

Are you in a Honda by chance? Honda's are infamous for this... anything that's connected to both a 12V output and an audio line in is going to have feedback unless you do some hacking. This is based on experience with 4 vehicles and probably a dozen car chargers, 5-6 phones, mp3 adapators, ipods, 2-3 car decks, etc. over the years (and confirmed by others). The only luck I've had mitigating it was to use a ground loop isolator (at least, I think that's what I used - writing from memory) on the car stereo power feed itself. I tried a ground noise filter on the audio line once and that helped very little.
You'll have the same problem if you try an FM modulator, but not if you use bluetooth audio, so that's what I do now.
Not having any problems with sound or charge but Nav went wonky today.

I have had the car dock for about 3 weeks - in Mercedes - it is working fine, charging OK sound OK, I have it set up so the bottom of the base rests on the dash - works well.
So they can work -
Any one have suggestions for a protective case that will work with car dock? I want my phone to slide into car dock and table top dock without having to take case off.
i'd love an answer to this too!

I updated in the other main Seidio cases thread ... with some minor tweaking the Surface case definitely fits the car dock (can't confirm the other dock yet until I pick one up this week).
I have an Otterbox Commuter that works fine with a small modification. Remove the small plastic bridge over the ports and it fits the dock nicely.
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone had any insights in to this problem I have been having.
Briefly, I have the 4g lte verion on EE's new network. I purchased the official MHL/HDMI adapter which works fine and the video is outputed to my sammy 50inch tv fine. The issue I have is the battery drains while doing so. I belive this may to due to the phone outputting more than it is drawing from the power source. Any thoughts ?
I spoke with Samsung tech and they said a number of people have started to report this issue and they are currently testing/investigating. If this is indeed the case seems a pointless acessory as a long video would possibly drain the whole battery, Im yet to test the full drain time.
Secondly, with a 3rd party docking cradle with spare battery slot which purchased from amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/eLifeStore®-Samsung-Desktop-Charger-Docking/dp/B008PPRGFY) also does not charge phone properly. Even with the orignial charger in the ac port (or usb port) . The phone reports as charging but stays the same or decreases. Charged directly from the socket it is fine. Strange!
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ian
It's common. Mine did that too! I switched to my old S2 charger, problem solved
Thanks Ill try that out, any idea why that works ?

No idea man? A design fault maybe? All I know is that my phone took for f#*%ing ever to charge with the USB type wall charger. I pulled it out of the socket and plugged my other other one in that was sitting right next to it and it started charging? Checked a few minutes later and it had climbed considerably so I pulled the USB cable out of the new plug and kicked it under the bed where it now lays resting not to be used again LOL.
USB plug/cord works perfectly fine? So I use it on the computer. My laptop even charges the phone via the USB cable faster than the socket plug (which is usually the opposite - as I am sure we are all aware). So yeah I would say poor design or defective wall plug or both or something? Wasn't going to send my phone back because of it. 2second decision problem solved Samsung phone is great!
Im having exactly the same problem.
I have an s3 on orange and have the same mhl adapter conected to my tv.
I have tried the charger from my s3 which does says its charging when I connect my phone but only for about a minute so I also tried using the charger from my s2 and that just does exactly the same.
An easier way is to buy the official allshare dongle for your hdtv then you can stream anything from your phones screen direct to your tv and can have the phone on charge via pc or wall socket at the same time,
Hope this helps
i suggest you throw away your original charger (slow charge) and its usb cable (loose - actually caused the extsd to become damaged to the point i had to repartition) and buy yourself a cheap usb cable for data (£2) and a 3rd party charger (pref not a usb adapter one - £5) and all should be fine!
I still experienced a small battery drain while using the mhl adapter, however, i froze a few apps with titianuim (ones i know run all the time like utter and tasker, paragon ntfs, easy ums, directory bind etc), and put it on min brightness - works like a charm. I know its a effort freezing apps but does the trick with my phone... Since finding that out i actually keep paragon & easy ums frozen till i need them...
just a few thoughts for you....
Recently picked up the v30 and purchased an otg cable to be able to hook my printer to my phone for work (did this on my g4 no problem). First plug shows up and when i plug it in, the phones usb status goes to "power supply" (like im trying to charge another device, not charge my v30). If i changs it to any other option, a second later it changes back to power supply. I thought this was strange as nothing was even plugged into the otg cable. Returned it and got another one of a different brand , same problem. Got a specific cord thats usb c on one end, printer plug on the other side. Same exact thing. All of these cables worked fine on my buddies Motorola, so at this point, i can only assume its the phone. I have tried plugging multiple devices to the otg cables, even getting a usb to micro usb to try my old otg cable and all had the same problem. Verizon sent a brand new phone to me thinking my cable port was bad. It did the same thing as well. If anyone else has run into this issue or has any advice, that would be much appreciated. My work printer is old and the wifi direct sucks to hook up constantly and it likes to disconnect in the middle of printing.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have been having the same issues. I am trying to use the OTG adapter for my Meridian DAC. Ordered through Amazon 2 times, with different sellers claiming compatibility. But no luck.
And to concur with you, I get the identical issue where it switches momentarily to my selection, then Immediately goes to Power supply.

Regarding connecting a external DAC to the V30 I currently have that working with my V30 and my FIIO Kunlun E18. The cable used is below. I know that it's not the same thing that you are talking about because it's not exactly an OTG adapter but it works for my purposes. Good luck to you.

Thanks for the info.
Do I need to change anything in the settings?
Or is it basically plug and play?

It's plug and play but when the DAC is connected it asks you if you want to set a default app to the USB device. Be sure to select NO and just cancel out if window. I was selecting yes when I had USB pro music app installed and it prevented me from hearing anything from LG music player, YouTube,and other 3rd party apps.

I'm also facing the same issue with an otg adapter, exact same symptoms.
Is there any solution other than buying specific otg adapters like the ones listed above?
I've also noticed that my V30 is very picky when it comes to usb connection. I have an usb c flash drive, and if it moves in the slightest, the connection just drops. It also happens with some usb cables that I've tried to use to connect the phone with my pc.
