Hi all
I have a standard Samsung Galaxy SIII I9300. It is not rooted and I don't see the point in rooting it,as it is quick, reliable and if I'm not fooling around with it all day, the battery can last up to 2 days!!
But there is one thing I'd like to know how to do, if it is possible to do.
I want to be able to play music and alarm sounds through the micro USB port when the USB cable is connected instead of only through the 3.5mm jack.
I am going to be building a dock station with built in speakers. The Micro USB cable will charge the phone and the data wires will go to the speaker.
Will this work?
And if not, how can I make it work?

Hi all,
As per subject...
Anyone know if such as cable is available?
I was planning on getting the new 3-1 Adaptor for the TYTN to make use of the 3.5mm jack and charging feature in my car.
The thing is, the cable for this adaptor is very short and cannot be hidden easily when in the car. So, I was thinking of using an extension cable of some sort, so the adaptor could be more easily hidden elsewhere under the centre console.
Many thanks.
USB Stupidity
Hi,
Affraid i didn't find anything either, and wanted to do the same thing.
I resorted to buying the cable from expansis and "Adapting it my self"
The project was fairly simple, and if your happy with a soldering iron and a multimeter you should be fine.
I now have a small connector on my dash that will disapears under the dashboard to a breakout box. All i basicly did was chop off the box that has the two female connectors in it, extend the wire with an old cut up parralel printer cable (multicore and was lying arround) and then terminated in a project box from maplins.
This has two headphone sockets, (audio out stero, and mic in) as well as a USB socket to charge the phone. (the plan was to have the USB socket be usable for data... but that bit went a bit wrong...
Still from the testing i have done, i now have tomtom and WindowsMedia mp3 play back comming through my car stero, and my VarioII reports to be charging. Havn't had a chance to test it on a long drive yet, i think i might still need a beefier 12Volt to USB adapter.
If anyone want more info on what i did, i'd be glad to help.
here are some pics, sorry v bad Q....
I don't seem to see any pics?...
Ooops...
here you go
Seems good to me- as long as it all works ok then its a good job.
Always been interesting in making my own adapters/cables but have never tried. Perhaps I should give it a go!

Any news on that extension cable yet; is it available?
i brought one of these and successfully lengthened it with an old peice of printer cable (only multi core cable i had to hand)
i then used an off the shelf diy project box to hide the junction in.
worked very well, but i have since changed to a bluetooth car kit.
the soldering was a little small and working out which wire was which was a bit of a pain, but all in all only took an hour or so to sort out. probably worth it.
(AFAIK my dad is still using the one i adapted.)
sorry to put old post on top !! but own a dimaond and just buy a touch HD !
i a m looking for this kind of cable !!
If someone have info !!
where to buy for exemple ?
thanks in advance !!
how about extending the power cable? seems like that would be easier.
3in1 11 PIN ExtUSB Earphone Handsfree Adapter for HTC
Other option: http://cgi.ebay.com/3in1-11-PIN-Ext...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3cabfd9d0b
I'm using the original USB adapter that came with my AT&T Tilt Two and it had been working great until about three days ago. My phone and wired headset gets a lot of use and since I had an AT&T Tilt I, had problems with the USB port, I use the adapter on this phone for absolutely everything! At any rate, if the adapter is bent in the wrong direction, the connection is lost in one headphone. I know it's just a loose wire, but it's not worth it to me to take this little thing apart just to fix a wire, so I'm wondering if,
1. Anyone knows where I can get the original USB adapter with the charging, 2.5mm, 3.5mm, and USB Headset connections.
2. Anyone has a better idea than the original adapter. If anyone out there uses something else to charge and listen to music/talk on their phone, please let me know. I have a feeling that if I get another original adapter, it will happen again the way I use my phone.
Thanks for your help

Hi guys,
I think this questions was already asked for every other phone but i'm not sure if you can tranfer the answers.
basically what i would need is a scheme of the pins of the micro-usb port like in the samsung sound station dock.
i want to built an adapter (micro-usb) to usb (for charging) and 3,5mm headphone jacks (for listening to music).
you can also buy them but i'm not sure if they work with the i9100 aka if theres a universal standard for the pin scheme.
would i also need to put the phone into a special mode with an resistor to play music over usb?
any help is appreciated
thx in advance and best regards,

Hi together,
ive asked me if it is possible to use an adapter for 1x micro usb (plug) -> 2x micro usb (jack).
Could the phone handle 2 USB devices at the same time?
Maybe then it is possible to use the HDMI output and the USB host parallel?
For example to use an TV as screen and an HDD as the source for a movie.
This would be nice.
Thanks in advance.

When the connector is used for HDMI I doubt it can be used as USB at the same time, I'n sorry.
Maybe in a few months cyanogenmod provides a hack, if there will be an dual adapter soon.
We will see. Thank you.
macc
The hardware needs to allow this if it'd become possible. You need a really smart USB dongle that knows how to split the HDMI output from the USB output.
Sounds a little too difficult to ever happen.
Hmm thats right. I think i still dream xD
But thank you.

it is not possible. because as stated on this forum many times before, the type of usb connection is determined by the resistor between pin 4 and 5 of the micro usb connector. the strength can tell the phone, that there is either a charger, a pc connection, car kit, jig, usb otg or mhl connection present.
and i believe, this is an important thing to keep in mind for so many things:
for instance, why the original car kit triggers car mode and generic car charging cables don't or why not just any micro usb male to usb a female will work as a otg cable or why flashing should be done with the original usb cable...
so if you were to buy or build a micro usb hub, since it has no resistor in the very plug that connects to the phone, it cannot be used for anything but charging and quite frankly, i wouldn't connect more than one charger to the phone.
however, if you want to use your phone for presentations or watching movies and still be able to use it, get a bluetooth keyboard and mouse or a bluetooth presenter or do it the other way around and use a usb input device and transfer your media using allshare. everything else is physically impossible, so neither CM nor XDA can do anything about it. the only device that can do what you want is the new motorola. it has a separate micro usb and micro hdmi port and a docking station, so you can use it as a full notebook.
Thats obvious. Thank you.

I removed the car stereo and just installed a radio sony bluetooth in the glove box.
I used the original system already complete amplifier.
I connected the outputs radio connector at busquadra connector AUDI!

Its cool. I'm testing same setup have u had any problems with auto connect bluetooth?
Not problem. . But I need push a sony radio for connection bluetooth App remote. .
I have call a Sony for this .. but need manual input..
Any one interested in this check out proclips (Google them). A non invasive easy way to install a tablet in the car. Works great with the Ford Sync system but anything with Bluetooth would be good. I've had iPad's, Note tabs, and now the 8.4 in my Fusion.
8.4 in my Jeep
Here's my setup in my Jeep. I got a custom mount that sits over the stock stereo. It slides in an out and locks. When I want it more secure, I slide it out and I have a lock box below my seat.
I ordered a ground loop adaptor to fix the hum when it's being charged and plugged into AUX. I'm currently shopping for a DAC that I can connect to a charge enabled OTG cable. The best I've seen is LAVA SimulCharge USB 1 but I wish it had more ports. Anyone find anything better?

I have the lava adapter works pretty good. U can buy a 1 male to 3 female USB adapter for more ports. Make sure u have a good 2.1 amp charger and cable for the lava or it won't charge to good. I use a official Samsung car charger and the USB cable that came with the tab pro gets about 1000ma with my DAC hooked up. I use the Behringer uac 202 USB dac best for the money. Has optical also.. No ground loops or noise with optical.

Thanks. I was hoping I could get a 1/3 USB adaptor for more ports, but I didnt know if it would work. I have a two different 2.1 amp chargers now, and it barely gives any juice to it. It says max 1200 or so but it bare;y gets 3-400. It keeps the screen on and it drops a % every 5-10 min. I looked at the Behringer uac 202 but I'm connecting to a stock deck that goes have RGA inputs so I'm going in through an AUX jack. I could try an optical to headphone cable I suppose.
The ground loop cable I got killed the hissing noise. Is the UAC 202 a noticeable difference worth the extra cost and time setting it up? I'm concerned it will slow down charging even more. Does it suck up a lot of juice?
The sound difference is huge with the 202 dac even if u use the headphone out jack. Alot more clarity and output. doesn't suck much juice at all. U should invest in a Samsung Branded car charger most chargers say 2.1 amps but put out half.
Thanks, I just purchased the 202 and the lava so I'll be able to test this out this weekend.
I couldnt find the general samsung car charger that didn't have a cord already attached though.
Now I just need to find a USB backup camera solution and my car setup will finally be complete.

Goodluck. The 3 port one looks pretty large. Does that function differently than if we were to buy a 1 to 3 USB adaptor?
I have my 1 port working correctly. Strangely whenever I use the Lava adaptor it lists it as 100% charges right away, but if I unplug the charger it drops back down to whatever it really is. Not a huge deal, but annoying to not see the accurate battery level when plugged in.
The 3 port adapter is supposed to be better with charging and has a button for charge only wich is cool. And according to lava there is no power feedback from the tablet to the the adapter. The tablet port keeps my usb dac on even when I unplug power With the one port. And I'm sure that the 3 port will have no problem with a dac hard drive and mouse (hopefully will let everyone know when I get it in a week or so).the one port would have a power supply issue with all 3 devices.
