Hi folks,
For the first time in the two+ weeks I've had my Pixel 6, I needed to make a call using my office headset, which is a 3.5mm jack headset. No problem; I have a USBC to 3.5mm jack adapter I used with my various OnePlus phones (a 3T and a 6T).
I plugged it in but it didn't work; there was a message that it was an incompatible device. How strange; it worked on a Samsung tablet that was USB-C.
Is there something unique about the Pixel adapters? It's not a BIG deal, as I just bought one on Amazon for $10, but I find it strange that my OP adapter doesn't work as it seems fairly generic.
The pixel adapters pinout is different to normal ones. That or google adapters need built-in DACs. The only other company that I know of which does this is HTC.

Thanks for this. Hopefully I won't have other USBC surprises.
Oddly, one of my two apparently identical wall chargers won't work to charge this phone. One came with OP3T, one came with OP6T. Either can charge rapidly either of those phones. One in of them charges Pixel 6 (slowly) one of them won't charge it at all.
I got an Anker charger so I'm good, but this phone is a bit tweaky. I like it though.
Oneplus stream analogue audio via the type c port so just normal passive cable works fine. Pixel only streams digital audio so you need active cable with integrated digital to analogue converter (DAC) to work. Don't buy the apple one as it is too quiet on android.

I'm pleasantly surprised the Google adapter works as well as it does. Wired headphones and buds sound as good as ever.
Thanks for these insights, guys! I ordered the Google one and should be able to try it out on Wednesday. Now, I understand I needed a DAC instead of passive connection.
I had a htc u11 (basically an attempt at a cheaper pixel, it even had pixel software), it only worked with a htc adapter or a google one, thats how i know. another thing i noticed is that my oneplus 8 pro charger doesnt charge my htc u11, so again, i can confirm that some oneplus chargers will not charge pixel phones.

My 6t wall charger does not work either. However, my 6t USB c to USB a cord works for flashing via PC.
Just to cap this off, I wanted to point out that the wired bud style headset supplied by OP with my 6T works fine on the Pixel 6. That's part of my confusion... since the headset worked, I figured the headset adapter would use the same technology as the headset. But I guess that would be too easy. Apparently the headset I got uses DAC whereas the adapter was just a pass-through item.
Anyway, my Google adapter is due today from Amazon.
I have just tried my Samsung USB-C Headset Jack Adaptor on the Pixel with some AKG headphones and it seems to work fine.

Since HTC Dream isn't for sale here, no accessories are marked to be Dream compatible. There's however lots of Touch (and other HTC models) accessories available. Is it safe to assume that anything that fits the Mini USB of a Touch also works with the Dream? More specifically, chargers (mains and car).

I've used the same mini-USB cable to charge my PS3 controller, my G1, and other devices.
I've personally used, g1 charger, g1 usb cable, BB charger, BB usb cable, moto RAZR charger, standard mini usb.... all of the above are 5V usb spec... only diff for the wall chargers is the aperage...
If your referring to other attachments such as speaker dongles and the like I would venture to say so since the port on the g1 is titled extUSB same as many other HTC phones
Nice - Just what I wanted to hear. Now I can go buy that HTC Touch/TyTN/et al car charger I found at a local shop, and plug it in with confidence. Thanks to all who have responded.

I tried the USB to 3.5 mm adapter, with controls for a handsfree and music (call, end call, mute, hold, play, stop, volume...) that came with my HTC Tytn II, and the G1 didn't react to it...

I used the same MicroUSB to 3.5MM adapter that came with the G1 on my HTC Touch and it worked fine.. it didn't work on my BlackBerry 8830 however, but that one has a 2.5MM headphone out along with a USB out, which i can assume for file transfer.
How big of a difference does the amperage make in temrs of battery life ?
Ex 1 charger I have is 200mah the other 500mah.
Ill assume charging speeds will be different but will this cause any additional wear and tear on battery ?
I wish we had the same thing up in Canada, the Rogers Dream comes with its own proprietary USB dongle on the bottom. So when I lost my phone wall charger I am doomed to PC only charging.

It shouldn't. Anything with a LiIon battery needs a charge controller. The controller's sole job is to monitor the temperature and charge rate as the battery charges and keep it within a certain range. That's why "Battery Info" in spare parts shows the temperature.
It doesn't matter if you're charging from a USB A-to-miniB cable since the G1 will limit the power draw from the charger to 500mA unless the charger has some pins shorted in the USB connector.
Does anyone know if the MiniUSB port on the Dream supports a power OUT function? We are brainstorming ideas on getting flash (as in camera flash) onto the phone, and one idea is with an LED connected to the MiniUSB port

Nope, no power available there. Why not hack it into an extended battery cover? There's lots of room to work, and you could even tap into the battery directly. Just watch out for shorting the battery terminals unless you like your G1 extra crispy.
Hi All. I just received a bunch of accessories I ordered from HTCDepot. I have one issue that I am concerned about.
One of the AC wall chargers and also the car charger that I bought from them has the standard mini-USB connector, not the funny-shaped proprietary form that is on our Tilt 2s. However it does fit the jack easily without any force and there is no slippage after engaged. And when I called HTCDepot they confirmed that although it does not have the proprietary shape of the Tilt 2 jack that it is indeed compatible. Is this true? They are both HTC OEM products. Here they are on the HTCDepot web site:
http://www.htcdepot.com/htc-travel-charger/5A17A5576.htm
AND
http://www.htcdepot.com/htc-car-charger/5A47A1441.htm
ExtUSB (HTC's proprietary jack) is reverse compatible with most if not all Mini USB accessories... The power adapter should work fine...
The subject has been discussed many times. Just do a search and you can see what the proprietary plug will do that the min plug won't. I think it is all audio stuff if memory serves me.
Just to confirm, you can charge with the min plug. No prob.
Hello,
I have purchased the HTC Bluetooth Music Adapter from Sprint (also known as the HTC Car StereoClip): http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-car-stereoclip-audio-bridge-a100.html
I've been using it for about a week now, and the battery has completely depleted for the first time. I noticed that I am not able to charge it using a vehicle power charger . I used the included USB cable, and it charges just fine with several different wall chargers I have lying around. It charges fine from a PC or laptop USB port. But when I try to charge it from the vehicle power adapter, nothing happns.
I have an official HTC dual car charger: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003OQUJRQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00. This charger is rated (like the standard HTC wall chargers) to put out a current of 1A per each outlet. So I don't understand why this Music Adapter will charge via a wall charger, but not a vehicle, and they have the same output, and are made by the same company. I double checked that the vehicle charger works with other devices. It will charge my HTC EVO 4G LTE, my Jawbone ICON bluetooth headset, as well as other friends' phones.
Does anyone else have problems getting their HTC Bluetooth StereoClip to charge? I know it's not the end of the world--I can always take it inside the house to charge it when it dies every few days, but it sure would be convenient to just have it charge in the car overnight without having to remember to tote it back and forth.
Please help!!
Thanks.
Um, I looked at the pictures of this device. When you are in your car, are you plugging your charger into the phones charging port? Not the port on the Bluetooth adapter. Your phone will never charge if you are plugged into the Bluetooth adapters port.
Are you trying to use it while it is being charged? I think i read before that the stereoclip uses the BT to stream the sound, and i've had a few bluetooth headsets that didn't work if it was being charged, and won't charge if you're actively using it (just tried out of curiosity). Only thing i can recommend is to try a single microusb cigarette charger, maybe its the way the charger is wired.
---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------
One question that is unrelated to this charging issue: in the bluetooth pairing settings for the stereoclip, does it do phone mode as well as media or just media? My car's headunit does phone and i'd like to see if i can just have each device handle a separate stream.
Hmm. Interesting. Mine charges fine using a rocketfish/best buy car adapter I have and a generic micro usb cable I got from Monoprice. Charging occurs on mine when it's off or on, streaming or not. The adapter and cable also work to charge my phone and jawbone too.
Maybe try change your usb cable or car adapter?

When in the car, my phone sits in the car dock...on the windshield, so yes it is plugged into one of the ports. And I plug another USB cable (from the 2nd port) into the BT Music Adapter. It won't charge. I have to take it inside and charge it from a wall charger.

Okay...I had a spare Rocketfish vehicle charger lying around, and I just went out to the car and tried it. It charges just fine fine!! However, an official HTC vehicle charger with an official HTC USB cable won't charge an official HTC accessory...WEIRD.
So problem "temporarily" solved: I have to have to keep TWO vehicle chargers in the car--the dual HTC for the car dock, and the rocketfish for the HTC bluetooth adapter. This really sucks, and defeats the purpose of me buying a dual adapter. Or, I could just bring the adapter in every 4 or 5 days and charge it inside. It gets about 5 hours of music streaming before it dies. Oh well...
The issue I have with mine is that if I plug it into my Bose soundlink aux port and connect to it, it actually sounds better then just connecting to the soundlink itself. Using the new Apt-x and all.
But I plug it into my car aux in and it doesn't sound any better then my universal one I'd been using on a2dp

The dual charger could be splitting the Amps, I've heard of 2A adapters pushing 2 to one port or 1 and 1 if 2 things are plugged in. Did you try charging the BT adapter without the phone plugged into the second port? The BT adapter probably requires a specific minimum amperage where as the phone will just go into USB charging instead of wall charging mode if under 1A.
I tried every possible combination. And I have verified that it puts out simulataneously 2A (1A + 1A). I connected my EVO 4G LTE, plus a friends original EVO 4G, and they both showed "AC Charghing," which means 1A. And of course, I tried charging the StereoClip with nothing else. I don't get it.

Weird is right. I have a dual output car charger in my other car & it works fine with that one too, with 2 devices plugged in. My dual is a generic one I got from Monoprice.
My only other suggestion would be to find a different dual head charger.
Will this autopair with newer Samsung Galaxy phones? Or just with HTC ones?

It will pair with anything. I use it with my Nexus 7 mainly.
And just as a precaution.. Don't leave this in your car if it is hot where you live.
I had mine in my car, for probably a month. Never used it other then when i first got it to verify it worked. Went to use it again, nada..
Wouldnt charge, wouldnt turn on, nothin. I'm assuming the 100+ degree heat for a month+ destroyed the battery. Sprint provides a 1 year warranty on their accessories, so i was able to swap it out no issue though.

Yes, it will pair with anything. My first HTC EVO 4G LTE (stupid) decided to break, so I was stuck with a Samsung Intercept as a loaner phone for awhile. It will pair with any bluetooth device, however...if that device doesn't support the new apt-X coding technology (like the EVO 4G LTE), the audio may not be as clear, and the connection will likely have intermittent skips (as with the Samsung Intercept).
I really like Qi wireless charging.
My all previous phones are QI enabled.
Now, I have Moto Z but I do not want to make it bulky, so do not want to use battery mod.
I purchased usb c qi receiver, but did not work.
I tried another one, also did not work.
https://www.amazon.com/UniQi-Wirele...e=avp_only_reviews&sortBy=recent&pageNumber=2
Like the reviews mentioned about Moto Z, I am on the same boat.
I do not understand why...
qi receiver is just have a coil, generate power and deliver it to usb c, and phone should get the 5V power from it.
Is there anything blocking it from Moto Z itself?
The MotoZ does not support QI/aka "wireless" -charging by itself. I have the TUMI battery mod and THAT does allow wireless charging.
I am using this charger and it works fine.

No... I do not mean that..
I was talking about USB Qi Receiver pad. You can see it on the amazon link on my first thread.
I got the answer by myself.
I figured out, most of Qi receiver has short USB C connector. See the attachment picture.
Some phones are ok with short one, but Moto Z need regular size to connect inside of USB C port.
I purchased 4 of the receivers, and 3 of them has same short one, does not work with Moto Z.
Only one has a regular size one, and finally I made my Moto Z working with Qi.
Hey - just curious which one worked? Amazon link perhaps?
this one worked for me
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01G18149A/ref=pe_386430_205708660_TE_3p_dp_1
u might find it elsewhere as it is no longer available in amazon canada

Sorry for late response.
I've ordered some from China (Aliexpress) and they worked.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/SCE...32789643717.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.aq8Apt
This works fine so far. I am using it now.
One thing is, this charging receiver does not work with some specific qi chargers. It keeps disconnecting/connecting every 5 seconds.
I have total 5 chargers, and 2 of them does not work with this receiver. I purchased more "cheap" chinese qi chargers and they worked.
Looks like only cheap chargers work with this receiver..
Also, the charging speed is a little bit slow and sometimes generates heat a lot.
I will buy the Moto Mod for qi charging when it is released.
Can you repost the qi receivers that worked for moto z droid ie name/model? I am having the same problem, and the links do not work anymore
Hi everyone, I was trying to use the USB-C pixel buds as well as USB-C to 3.5mm converter with the OP7T Pro.
Initially it didn't work as when I plugged in the earphones, there was no sound. But after rebooting the device, the earphones started working and there's a notification icon at the top that the earphone was detected.
Fast forward half a day later, it stopped working again. Just wondering if anyone had this issue before? Thanks in advance everyone!
Did not experienced this, but try to double check with another adapter, the more cheaper, the more they tend to break or being of low quality.
I did, tried with 2 dongles and they're both from my Google Pixel 3 box. They work fine for a while after rebooting, but a few hours later, the phone stops detecting the headsets
You can try to enclose the circumstances when it failes (after specific time? after specific actions?).
Also, it may correlate with the battery optimization, you could try to disable it in phone settings and check if it works out.
It seems to stop after one night. Most of the time the next morning I wake up and test the usb-c audio stops working. Throughout the day it's fine.
Not sure if it's probably related to the charger I am using but will test it out
Confirmed the issue is due to charging of the phone on my Pixel 3XL's charger. When I charge using my Pocophone's charger or the one that comes in the box, the issue does not occur. Leaving this here in case anyone else faces the same issue in the future.

You did great. :good:
I'm experiencing the exact same behavior using my USB-C Pixel buds. They work until they don't and then I need to restart the device.
I haven't come as far as you in terms of root cause analysis, also because I mainly use BT earphones so it often takes several days before I discover that the USB-C ones don't work any more.
I'll check this evening when getting home but for sure I'm using a 3rd party charger over night. Could be Google.
Thanks again, you probably saved me a lot of time.

Have tried these devices:
No luck:
Nintendo switch charger
Xiaomi 65W charger
Zmi 65W charger with 3 port (1 TypeC, 2USB-A) using typeC
Zmi power bank QB820 port TypeC
Belkin car charger USB-PD typeC
Test passed:
OnePlus DASH charger
Zmi 65W charger with 3 port (1 TypeC, 2USB-A) using USB-A
Zmi power bank QB820 port USB-A
UGreen type-C charger
Audio Issue
I never had this issue.. But when i was using OP3 3.5mm jack itself wont work. i used sony headphones and later i used Oneplus bullets which was crystal clear. So also try to use OnePlus accessories..

The USB-C dongle on the Pixel devices are active adapters. Meaning they have a built-in DAC. If I were to use the Apple adapter, they only work if you enable USB-OTG in the Settings.
After 10 minutes of inactivity they will stop working and you need to toggle it again. Might be the reason it works after rebooting.

I don't think so. the OP7Tpro can recognize the type-C earphone at anytime. No need to change the OTG options. UNTIL pluging the power supply listed in my post.
