Is it possible to use at the same time the hdmi adapter and the usb adapter?
Thanks
No. Even if you could connect the usb adapter to the hdmi adapter, the hdmi adapter wouldn't work because the usb adapter takes up the 30pin port and the hdmi adapter would miss the power source it needs to run.
I have seen several usb to micro usb support devices, like the experia can connect a ps2 controller using the adapter and was wondering if our device can connect and use a ps2 controller or other controller using the usb to micro usb adapter for games. also was wondering what all can connect anyone have a list? I have a square card reader also, that connects to the phone using the microphone//headset adapter, does anyone know any other devices that connect using the microphone and or headset adapter, coud we create an adapter that connects to the headset jack and then has a micro or usb attacked to the end, this could give us another usb connection port. could be very usefull if someone knows howto or had done this
In the specs I read that the slim-port (charging port) doubles as a video-out port. Has anyone had success with connecting their Chromebook to a TV using a slim-port to HDMI cable? And what about sound? Do you then need a dual male-end 3.5mm sound cable to connect the headphone jack from the Chromebook to the TVs 3.5 input jack? Thanks for any help to come.
Hello,
I'm currently looking for some USB-C cables and adapters for use with the XZ P with only limited success....
Items which I have found do work with the XZ P are:
USB-C to USB A or uUSB Sync-Charge Cables
Anker USB-C to USB 3.1 Adapter - Short [13cm] (equivalent to 'old' USB2 spec OTG function)
[USB Type C Powerline Specification Gen 1]
Flash Drives - A variety of Flash Drives have been successfully recognised by the XZ P using this adapter and mount as normal storage alongside the built-in uSD card.
Micro SD Card Reader - The Lexar C1 microSD Reader works perfectly.
Hard Disc Drives - I have successfully mounted a Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2 TB USB 3.0 Portable 2.5 inch External Hard Drive using this adapter (formatted as exFAT) together with a Lindy 0.5m USB 3.0 Dual Power Cable, 2 x Type A to Micro-B cable. Power is supplied either from a convenient USB port or a portable power bank. Also a Zalman ZM-VE300 external HDD enclosure fitted with a similar Seagate 2TB 2.5" HDD, also exFAT. FAT32 will also work but only up to 32GB with a 4GB file size limit; NTFS is not recognised.
There does not appear to be any sign of the former manual USB Detection option under Settings, but so far Android seems to just auto-detect, albeit without any apparent notification, which seems a little odd, given the system insists on issuing notifications for everything under the sun otherwise...
>> Update - the OS appears to content itself with a notification labelled "Android System" in the drop-down with the drive name shown. You can then click through to see the drive contents from there or access via Settings | Storage & Memory. <<
Anker USB-C to Micro USB (female) Adapter [2 in 1 Pack]
Boweike USB C to USB 3.0 Retractable Cable
MAPUX USB Type C Cable USB to USB C Cable 3 Pack - Three different lengths - [1 x 30cm, 1 x 90cm + 1 x 180cm]
XGUO® USB Type-C to USB Fast Charge Sync - Short [22cm], Flat cable
[USB Type C Specification Gen 1]
DataPeak USB-C to USB-A 3.0 Cable - Short [20cm], Round cable
[Stated as USB3.0]
This one is pending and will be reported when received/tested:
3 in 1 USB C Type C OTG Charging Host Cable
USB-C to 3.5mm Audio Adapters (with/without Charge-Through option)
The USB-C spec for Audio Adapter Accessory Mode says:
USB-C plug supports analog headsets through an audio adapter accessory with a 3.5 mm socket providing four standard analog audio signals (Left, Right, Mic, and GND). The audio adapter may optionally include a USB-C pass-through plug to allow 500 mA device charging.
But I have had no joy with the following:
Type C USB-C to 3.5mm Audio Jack Adapter, ADTRIP 15cm
Belker Type C to 3.5mm Audio Headphone Stereo Adapter ConnectorDISDIM 2 in 1 Type C to 3.5mm Audio Headphone Jack Adapter with Charger
Motorola Moto Z Connector Type C to 3.5mm Headphone Stereo Adapter Connector
None of these audio adapters seem to be recognised by the phone, either natively or by trying to force a connection using SoundAbout Pro .
It is currently unclear whether Sony have implemented the USB Type C Audio Adapter Accessory Mode (Analogue Audio output) - if anyone has any information on implementation and/or any dongles / software combinations which would facilitate this functionality will be greatly appreciated !
The following uSD Card Reader has also been tried without success:
Rocketek USB C Portable Card Reader for Micro SD Cards
Other Potential Connectivity Members have reported do not work in other posts
- USB-C to Ethernet
- USB-C to HDMI
- USB-C to DisplayPort
- USB-C to VGA
It appears that video-out capability is probably not present, but again, if anyone has any definitive information we can capture it would be useful !
There is a substantial amount of information regarding various USB-C cables collated by Benson Leung of Google on USB-C cables, including an 'approved' list, which incorporates some of those mentioned above.
Best regards,
Kevin

I've personally had great success with Type C cables from Rampow. I just wish they had a 6' or 10' cable. Here is a link to the Amazon page.
USB C Cable RAMPOW Type C to USB 3.0 Braided Charging Cable [3.3ft/Space Gray] - for LG G5/V20, Nexus 5X/6P, Samsung Galaxy S8, Moto Z, Nintendo Switch and other Devices https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N4OKUB8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YTttzbJ2FPQTP
I borrowed one of these from a buddy with an SGS8+ and bought a 2pk for myself-- works great so far.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M8QRM7S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Also picked up some adapters. Seem to be working on the two cables I've tried so far (just for charging)

Hi Kevin. Thanks for linking to my USB-C to HDMI thread.
If you read that thread again you will find your answer on whether or not the Xperia XZ premium supports audiovisual output to TV using a simple USB-C to HDMI cable!
USB-C to 3,5mm Audio Jack
I bought two, in order to be sure and both work like a charm, just plug and play:
XIIVIO Audio Adaptor Type C to 3.5 mm
HTC USB-C Digital to 3.5mm adaptor
I had success with the Dell Business Dock WD15 with my XZ1c (which is basically the same device family, so it should work).
I could only try out the USB hub part of the dock, tho (had access to keyboard, mouse and drives), not sure yet about the display and ethernet.
I once tried the docking station from my nintendo switch.
Phone starts charging but no video/audio output.
is it possible to connect fysical keyboard with connector usb-c normal male / usb 3.0 female ? Read something about OTG, but don't understand it well. If I try, is there a chance I break the working of the tablet ?
OTG is working, and if a tablet or phone doesn't have OTG then you can't break it by plugging in an adaptor.
It's also USB 3.0, and can power an external hard-drive (not just any old hard-drive, a usb to sata adapter with laptop drive!)
