I've read that some of the usb type C to 3.5 jack adapter are working now with a proper DAC, but I can't find a splitter that works for our HTC's or even for Pixel 2. People mention dongles made by certain companies, but I head to their websites and there's nothing available...
Can anyone help me find a viable splitter to charge and use headphones at the same time? I'm getting desperate, to be honest...
Thanks!
I have also tried several usb type c hubs but could not find one that works with htc headphones unfortunately.
I ended up buying an Bluetooth receiver to plug my headphones into when I need to charge too.
Not ideal but it works for me

Hey, that doesn't sound bad to me. I've never tried anything like that, though. Could you send me a link to your receiver or tell me any reference to start searching? Thanks in advance!

Look for a Bluetooth Receiver that supports wired headphones, i.e. it has a 3.5mm audio out socket.

Hi guys,
still trying to figure this out. I hope you can help me with this idea. All I want is charge and use headphones at the same time :
If I plug this hub (or similar one) to my U Ultra's usb port https://m.es.aliexpress.com/item/32846535696.html?trace=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail&productId=32846535696&productSubject=USB-C-Hub-USB-C-HDMI-Ethernet-Adapter-for-Macbook-Pro-Thunderbolt-3-Type-C-Hub
And then use this adapter (with DAC integrated) into the usb c of the hub: https://m.es.aliexpress.com/item/32832480232.html.
Will it work? Or the DAC needs to be placed exactly in the usb out of the phone? I'd really appreciate the help.
For these hubs to provide charging you need to connect the charger in the type c port of the hub which is marked with the lightning sign. To connect the 3.5 mm adapter you will need another adapter from usb type a male to type c female. Such adapters exsist but when i tried to connect the htc type c headphones via the hub and such adapter they were simply not detected by the phone so i doubt that the 3.5mm adapter will also work in such configuration.

If I decided to go for Bluetooth earphones... Any will do, am I right? No DAC thing to be worried about, I guess...

That's it, exactly. Take any BT headset you like and can afford, they have the DAC already built in.

I need to be able to connect my Galaxy S2 through a rca video input. In order to do this I need to:
1) Get an MHL adapter: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NTHXYY
2) Use a hdmi to rca converter like: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0047PDBP0
In theory this should work. What do you think? Any issues you see?
In theory, maybe. Let us know if you try it out. Also, as this is accessory related it should not have been put in General.
Sorry, wasnt sure about the right category.
Probably, but the resolution will suck.
I know... its just for displaying the content on an in dash double din radio that has an lcd so i can see larger screen in a more convenient location for things like navigation and song information. Unfortunately almost, if not all, car stereos have rca input an not hdmi.
Oh in your car... then you're going to need a 9v adapter... or an inverter, but then it gets clunky.

The head unit has a usb input. I am hoping it will be able to give power to the MHL adapter.
Need it for the hdmi to rca box.
this might be unrelated or something you already know, but my Alpine stereo with USB wont read any Android device, not even for music or videos. I'm about to change to a similar Pioneer model, so I can't say on that. I'm not sure you can just run Android on the 7" LCD if that's what you're trying to do.

I am saying that I don't know where the rca is plugging in. i don't believe the car stereo is going to work with any plug combination.
I want to know if it works, so give us an update. I thought bluetooth was the only connection for cars.
This is for a double din headunit that had a screen and aux video input.

Why wouldn't it work? My old stereo had RCA inputs and i used to hook my ipod up to it all the time. This is just adding a step (the hdmi -> RCA converter).
Should work...
I do think that once you find a way to power the HDMI -> RCA converter, you should be fine. You might want to take the one step first to see if your stereo's USB power will power the MHL adapter by connecting it to an HDMI TV if you can.
Personally, I do not know why there are not more auto options that have HDMI input yet. I wold love to be able to put my video on a screen for my passengers, but going all the way down to RCA seems really silly when it should not be hard to have an HDIMI monitor for the car, but I have really only seen a handful, and most of those are really for video camera applications and thus over-priced.

Hey there, i have tried gathering information about this subject and it seems all threads always lead to this announcement:
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/06/29/galaxy-s-iii-new-mhl-connector-also-enables-usb-on-go/
Short: Samsung have changed to an 11 Pin-out to enable USB OTG and MHL Hdmi out at the same time. I purchased an original HDTV Adapter (EPL-3FHUBEGSTD) which as far as i can reliably count indeed has about 11 connectors inside the USB connector that goes into the phone.
Now, i can get HDMI out just fine, but ONLY when i also connect the MHL adapter to a power source (a PC USB Port will do fine), however i have also read, that the phone is able to power the MHL adapter itself but obviously would not be charged then (no surprises there). This does not work however.
Further, connecting a USB OTG cable to the micro usb port on the MHL adapter does nothing. No notification and no devices connecting. No power either, since the LED on my USB Hub does not light up as it should. Connecting any devices to the hub does nothing to change that situation. If i leave out the MHL adapter and connect the USB OTG cable directly to the phone, everything works perfectly. I have tried this with 2 different OTG cables so they are not the problem.
This is an original genuine HDTV Adapter for our phones, which according to that post should be working fine with USB OTG.
AFAIK, this topic --does-- come up more frequently now as i can find a few more discussions about it, albeit none really helpful:
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...-of-11-pin-mhl-connector-in-samsung-galaxy-s3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743128

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_High-Definition_Link#11-pin_MHL-USB_Connector
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1811435
That wiki entry is the most interesting link as it definitely states that using MHL and USB OTG simultaneously is possible and is also the reason why the 5 pin layout was changed to an 11 Pin layout.
Looking forward to reading your replies!
the ability to use MHL and OTG simultaneously would give the S3 so much more purpose. It is powerful enough to replace a desktop computer used only for light stuff like browsing and watching videos, and even simple gaming. If samsung made a dock like the one for the motorola atrix I'm convinced they will broaden their target group. The atrix got everything right with this but is inferior hardware wise. I love the idea of a one device for everything concept. Unfortunately it doesn't rhyme very well with the growth society.
Love the MHL and the OTG is even better only after I got the correct cables as the cables changed on S3 to the S2 version, unlimited space for watching films on my phone is now awesome and even better connecting it to to the TV just need a good dock,
is there perhaps any expert advise on this? According to multiple sources it should work but really doesnt. Did i buy the wrong mhl adapter?
I think they will only both work together when being used with an MHL enabled tv. That way the power comes from the tv and the usb on the adapter can be used for the usb-otg cable.

But if i connected the MHL with the s3. Would sound come out of my phone AND my TV or just my TV. If it justs comes out of my TV, then can i hook up my bluetooth headphones and listen to my video or it would not allow me?
Thanks

Ah ok sorry! Afaik you should be able to choose your headphones as primary audio source in the bluetooth settings. I know I can choose what I want to be output to my bluetooth headset, but I don't own an MHL adapter so I don't know about that. Someone with one should be able to try it, and if they don't own a bluetooth headset/pair of headphones they could try with wired ones and see what happens.

I have recently received an MHL connector (5 pin type) and the samsung 11 to 5 pin adapter for it. I can confirm that if I plug my OTG cable into it, and then into my powered USB hub, I can get the MHL to work just fine, both video and audio. The OTG cable powers it just fine, but does NOT allow me to use other devices attached to the USB hub.
I am still researching. I suspect you need to bring all 11 pins off the phone with a splitter of some sort, or possibly wire data lines through the MHL. Probably not with the 5 pin MHL connector and 11 to 5 pin adapter, but with the full 11 pin MHL adapter. I am not up to that level of hardware hacking. I suspect whoever does it first can sell a BUNCH of them!
Oh, and I have a Moto Lapdock for my Raspberry Pi, and would love to hook my S3 to it too!

I will try it later today.
But what i do know is that normal usb cables don't work on the dock itself, so the inside of the cable is different.
You will hear from me tomorrow!
crunchie-uk: It works!
USB audio via this cable does NOT work for me without the dock. When the cable is plugged directly into the phone, it just plays through the speaker still. I am guessing the special circuitry in the dock that triggers the phone to go into vehicle mode also triggers it to output usb audio.

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.

I think you'll wait forever for 3.5mm to usb-c. It's not just a matter of wiring a plug, the usb-c headphones are digital. In other words, you'll convert from analog to digital in your adapter only to convert from digital back to analog in the headphones. On top of that, the 3.5mm jack doesn't deliver power, so your adapter would need a battery (to power both the adapter and the headphones.)
