ok This may seem like a dumb question but I dont want to screw up my ATT HTC FUZE. Do you really need to use the little dongle or can you plug the USB directly into the phone? What does the Dongle do?
Thanks in advance,
SoBBie
just plug the usb right into the phone the dongle is an adaptor if you are using headphones and charging or using 2mm or 3mm headphones.
THANKS!!! I was hoping you would say that... I just wanted to make sure there was no voltage stuff in it.
Thanks again,
SoBBie

hey all
ive been roaming thru the forums n google searches trying to get all the info i need in order to create a galaxy to ipod dock connectivity.
im simply doing this as there is an abundant of idocks but nothing really for the galaxy.
my plan is to wire a micro usb and 3.5mm headfone jack into a female ipod cable (taken from an ipod extension cable) to create a small peice that can charge the phone and play music to the dock.
having all the cable outputs on top creates a sorta problem as the screen doesnt rotate upside down (not that im aware of anyway) so id have to create a sorta stand to incorporate it into
my question is, is it acheivable to charge, play music and maybe use for alarms etc? i kno in my head it makes sense but whats the thoughts of the more knowledgable people?
and can anyone help me out with pin numbers for bothe the ipod cable and the micro usb cable?
thank you all
Is this what you are looking for?
Quality is really good and with Voodoo Sound Control installed its really great!
Or if you are good in DIY than have a look here.
Hope this helps!
Try this: http://cgi.ebay.ph/Sprint-Anycom-Bl...er_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item2c54a47edb
it basically adds bluetooth functionality to ANY ipod dock..
it works, tried it with a car audio system.
@laurens something similar to that cable but im more interested with being able to charge my phone aswell. i sorta want to harness everything from the dock i can. so charging and playing music, much like i would get if i plugged an iphone onto the dock.
@neilbantoc nah im not a big fan of bluetoothing as it gives a pretty bad sound (usually) plus doesnt really charge the phone.
after much searching i found this link. its pretty much exactly what i want except its for a different phone
wow and i cant add links.... well i found it buy searching iPod dock adapter for the Motorola Droid/Milestone
what u think is it do-able with galaxy?
You can do audio and charging through the USB port, using a 365k resistor between pins 4 and 5 of the plug to enable desk dock mode, and some software to route the audio signal through the USB port. You can charge at the same time by supplying +5V through the Vin pin (pin 1) of the USB port.
The Apple dock pinouts are as shown on this "ipod dock adapter for Motorola Droid" post.
Using a Bluetooth dock adapter would give you the play control functions of the Apple Dock, I can't think of a way to get these with a direct connection.
hey guys all good got the phone to charge and sync using the cable but i cant get the 3.5mm TRS plug to work. tried numerous plugs but no go. ive got the wire strand shield twisted and goin to pinout 2, red wire goin to 3 and white going to 4.
i re wired it up n tested the cable n it works fine just cant get it to work when wired to the ipod board.
any ideas/help?
thank you LaurensJ!
you solved a problem i didnt think of trying to solve before...hehe
Ok guys, I got a Sensation a few days ago and also bought a new Pioneer Deck DEH8300UB.
I tried connecting the USB to the front of the deck to play music, it charges the phone but the deck says error trying to read the phone. Is their something I need to do to get this to work without having to use the 3.5mm jack on the phone and deck?
I also got a stereo on my boat that has the same inputs and its doing the same thing on that, Id like to only use one cord is possible.
Thanks so much guys, you are always a GREAT help!!
I dont think its possible to do it like that but there is something you can try. Plug your phone into the computer and select USB mode then check the "never ask again" box at the bottom of the screen. That will be your best chance of getting it working. Dont get your hopes up though because I do not think that will work, but its worth a shot.
i usually just use aux cable works GREAT! BUT my sister has a sony xplode deck and i do use the usb so it is possible but the usb on radio decks are tricky do either number 1 or step #2(works for me) on her deck when i plug the usb into it and the phone it automatically goes to usb source on radio, the trick is to plug it in and then swith ur radio deck off of usb and back...yeah weird but it works for me, usually the plug and play method doesnt work cuz the deck wont read usb first time around:
1. plug it in wait till phone shows option and choose usb(check never ask again...though it asks anyway again?!?)
2. if that didnt work, plug in usb on radio deck then switch it(source button?) off usb and back to usb then from phone choose usb connection and never ask again...this does the trick on my sis usb deck everytime...my hd2 did same thing dont know why(i much prefer the aux)
I've been using the Belkin Air Cast unit - nice thing is that audio is bluetooth, so I don't have to keep connecting the 3.5mm jack - just plug in the AirCast, push a button when I get in the car, and presto - music, even if the phone is in my pocket.
Beautifully simple, and even handles hands-free calling duties. Love it.

Thanks so much guys.
I will try what you guys suggested. Hopefully it will work, my main concern is making sure its charging while playing music so I don't kill the battery, that I know works which is awesome, so just need to work out the usb part, I guess if that don't work I will look into the BT jobby or just use the 2 wires and just neatly electrical tape the wires together so it doesn't look like a birds nest!
Again thanks so much.
When you plug it in does the phone give you some options to choose from? If yes you have to mount sd card as mass storage for it to be accessible.

I've been looking for a cable to use in my car with my sII skyrocket for a week or so with no luck thus far. What I want is a single cable solution that plugs into the micro usb port on my phone and provides an aux out as well as usb out so I can charge and listen to my phone through my car. The usb would plug into a usb car charger and the aux out would obviously plug into the aux in on my stereo. I know it's possible to have one cable do this as I've seen docks that have this feature but I have yet to find a cable! I loved being able to easily charge and listen to my iphone with a single cable and hopefully someone knows where I can find one for my galaxy sII. Thank!
Does your car stereo have a regular 3.5 MM audio input? If so, just get a male to male audio cable and run that from your phone's headphone jack to the stereo.
I don't think there is such a cable because the Aux is an input that only take a signal from your device to the stereo, not the other way around. Usually those docks plug into the car lighter and connect to the radio using a specific radio station signal. Like burhanistan said, you should just buy a 3.5mm male to male cable like Retrak or Belkin and get a car lighter adapter for charging.
Yeah that's what I've been using but I would prefer to use a single cable to charge and play music. As you can see in these images the official samsung dock has a pass through auxiliary port with the only input being from the micro usb port so its definitely possible.
I might try and buy one of these and soldering in a micro usb cable to charge simultaneously but the skyrocket isnt listed under the compatible phones. Oh well my search continues...
Yea, sorry bud, the closest thing you're going to get is one of those Radio adapters that has a USB port on it, as well as the 3.5" male end.
I just checked on google for awhile and simply couldn't find anything. You can find these for the iPhone and I've used them, they rocked. Seems like the Skyrocket doesn't support audio out through the usb connector?

yeah would be nice..
Just bought one of these http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Headset-Adapter-to3-5mm-Female/dp/B003W057FS/ref=pd_cp_cps_1
If it works with the skyrocket I'm going to solder in a usb cable as well to charge it at the same time. I'll let you guys know if it works next week.
i too would love something like this. i used the IMP adapter before on my iPOD it was great could charge and listen to music at the same time with only one connector coming out. seemed more clean as far as cabling went.
Well the adapter I bought does not work with my skyrocket... Oh well I guess I'll have to deal with a mess of cables for now
Hai.
So I was thinking a bit here... Is it possible to charge and sync the tablet at the same time?
Im planning on making a charger port on the PC like this
But, wouldnt it be possible to attach the data cables from a USB port as well, basically making it a 12V USB port?
Or, does the tablet shut off all USB data when it receives 12-15V? Or is the charger cable wired in a weird way that it sends 5V to a different pin on the tablet than the 15V charging voltage?
Also, would it be possible to make something similar for the USB Host Dongle, making it possible to use USB stuff and charge the tablet at the same time? That would obviously require modding and adding a special charging port though.
What do you guys think? Am I thinking completely wrong here?
Sorry, Im just gonna try a bump on this.
If I could figure out a way to charge the tablet while using the USB Adapter it would be awesome, since then I wouldnt really have any need for the keyboard dock (even though its very nice, its still quite expensive when all I really need is a USB port).
Well guys, since youre all chickens ( ), I went ahead and tried charging and syncing at the same time myself...
I'll let the screenshot speak for itself
edit: fix'd the picture...
Is the a cable or adapter that at one end is a male micro USB (to plug into the phone) and at the other a female micro USB and stereo port (to plug in a charger and into the aux port in my car)?
Any help would be great!

Perfect!! That's exactly what I'm looking for! Thank you!!
That looks really cool, does the Galaxy simply send audio out via the 3.5mm jack using the micro usb port? I didn't know that was possible.
Ordered one myself thanks, just what i was looking for my car.
"The set cable can be used for Samsung Galaxy s2 i9100 i9220 s3 i9300 which can offer audio out and recharge at the same time ,however for i9300 OS 4.1.2 or newer maybe can not use!before bid pls pay attention!"
This is off of an EBay listing. Didn't get one because of that.
Can someone please verify if it works?
TIA
It's 3 bucks, I've send much more money on way worse decisions lol...I'll report back as soon as I get it

I have one, and it worked great with my SIII, but it doesn't work with the S4. Why does Samsung have to mess with stuff that works?
Hopefully someone will release one for the S4, but I haven't found one yet.
Finally got it today, no go. Is there any way we can redirect audio to export via USB? This would be clutch as hell for a car setup.

Like I said, it worked great with my Galaxy SIII, but for some reason it didn't work with the S4. It drove me crazy, as my setup was so clean before.
Anyway, I ordered the adapter from Grom Audio. (Look it up). It was around $100, and was somewhat of a pain to install and setup, but I have it working now and it works great. My old setup had some hiss/background noise occasionally, but this one does not. The sound is excellent. I have it hardwired to the back of my stock stereo, so there are no visible wires. I simply plug the USB into my phone on its dock, and it charges and plays music/pandora/navigation etc. through the car speakers.
Let me know if you have any questions.

I have a USASpec unit already...I was using a FIPO adapter on the ipod end but it was kinda wonky as far as having a stable bluetooth connection. The GROM is also a PIA to install as I would have to disassemble my dash just to plug it in. (The USASpec plugs in via the SAT adapter in my trunk, G35).
I have a feeling this is just a software issue, or at least a resistor issue...I'm not versed in android programming enough to figure it out so hopefully someone that is can figure it out for us.

I'm guessing it's a change in the pin layout in the adaptor. Anyway, now that I have the GROM AUDIO unit, I'm glad that I made the switch. I had to pull apart my dash to do the install, but it was worth it. The sound is much better now, absolutely no background noise or hiss.
