I'm looking to use my Epic with a portable DAC/amp, the Fiio E7. For that, I need a line out dock (LOD) cable. The only line out cables that I see are iPod/iPhone ones.
Does anyone have experience with this?

I'm also looking for a line out dock solution for samsung epic. It employs a Wolfson DAC of high quality. If some one comes out with a solution it will be awesome.

Yep. The US variants of the Galaxy S do Micro USB to HDMI out. Unfortunately, there are no cables available (yet) in order to have that kind of functionality. Samsung is planning to release that one.
we sell a USB to DVI /VGA ADAPTER for about $79. http://www.encore-usa.com/us/sites/default/files/product_file_datasheet/ENMUV-2_Spec_EN_1.pdf

wow that's really cheap?!
The Samsung one is $49 bucks (US) I think. Just wait I'm sure there will be a Chinese knock-off soon enough for pennys on the dollar.

So assuming this weren't back-ordered, it would work on the captivate to say... watch movies?
Someone has to try it and see how it works. The Composite on the Captivate (headphone jack) is mirroring of the entire device UI.
But some other devices that use HDMI only allow certain apps to output to it, like the built in Samsung movie player. I think this is for copyright reasons. I am not sure what copy protections are built in but HDCP would be needed to play back licenenced Hi-Def videos like Blueray format.
Your own videos / downloaded ones / ripped correctly bluerays, etc. should all play in Hi-Def okay. There are still unanswered questions, but it seems like this cable will allow movies to be played back w/o issue.
I am getting one as soon as a 3rd party one hits the streets as it will probably be cheaper.
What Android phones support video out on headphone jack?
It seems like a feature every phone should support.
I would like to have a phone mirror the display to the dvd player in my car, which has composite inputs. 3.5 jack to composite is perfect. it would be nice to have google nav on a big screen, and listening to Pandora at the same time..
Your post made me curious about it, so I did a bit of searching. It seems the only phone capable of it is international (I guess this means non-US) versions of the Samsung Galaxy S. Then there are some tablets with this ability, particularly from Archos. But phones, it looks like it's only the Galaxy S.
The reason this isn't more widespread is that if a modern phone will go for video out, it'll be HDMI.

That really is a bummer. I don't think that will work for composite video. I will do some searches, but i think my goal its now doa

is it just me, or does this seem like something that could be enabled by a software patch?

You would need a extra pin in the headphone jack.. Beyond that it should be only software. But i have a fascinate and no one has found out how to enable it yet.

Why would you need an extra pin? There are more than enough in a standard plug, to carry a composite video signal.
Would just have to be a clever software package...

Pretty sure its hardwired through the headphone amp. Its a hardware thing.. Putting video through a headphone amp would not be desirable. Now, with a 5th pin for video (which my phone has) then yea. Should just take software. But no one has cracked it yet.

SGS i9000 has TV out on 3.5 jack you need the same 3.5 to RCA video cable as the one made by Nokia
i've used it before, quality is okay, it's RCA composite (think S-video quality in VHS), so don't expect much, it's not going to look like a USB to HDMI out quality

TL;Dr, experiments led to Revelation: only two signals minimum needed.
so I was being weird, and bored, and I actually have a headphone to RCA jack. so what do I do? I send audio through the video port, and I see that the audio actually does cause images on the screen to appear. they may be simple white and black lines, but yea. It still works. the only thing someone needs to do in terms of sending a video to a TV, is recording the screen, converting said screen frame-by-frame into the RCA video code, and then sending that through one of the headphone signals. (Either left or right) and then taking both left and right audio signals, converting them into a mono audio, and then sending it out to the other one. boom! done... I would do this myself, but I Don't have the app-making know-how.
Bought one of these a few weeks ago and am loving it!

I have it hooked up to my JVC KD-R530 receiver in my '03 Santa Fe via the REAR AUX input.
Scosche wants $80, but I found it at Wal-Mart for $35.
Sound quality (music) is just as good, if not better, than when I had my phone hooked up via 3.5mm cable to AUX directly. Also does a nice job with voice quality (phone). People can hear me clearly and no more "echo" from my stereo speakers either.
Just thought I'd share, as I found it to be a nice solution to those of us who drive older cars without Bluetooth integration, and don't want to spend $200+ for an aftermarket head unit with Bluetooth (which I've read mixed reviews about pairing ability/sound quality with anyhow).

I've got a jvc khd44. It also has rear aux in addition to the front aux. I may hav to give this a shot.
Thanks.

Hi all. I just had a quick thought. a while ago back when I didn't even have a phone, I used an iPod, and an iHome docking station. well long since then I lost the iPod and really have no use for the iHome station.
HOWEVER--
I kinda want to look into an audio docking station for android. I know there's a small amount out there on the market.
so to everyone lurking these forums. have you guys tried any of these, and if so what's your opinion on them?
There is both a car dock and a desk dock available from Samsung. You can see several options on Amazon, for example.
The car dock is nice in that it relieves strain on the phone's connectors. Unfortunately it's mounting options are basically useless in my Mini Cooper.
Thanks for the reply, and I have looked at those, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. I'm talking about a stereo dock(one that has the speakers and stuff on the unit) I know the dock has audio out but I'm kinda looking for something different...kinda like the fidelio series by Phillips.

I've looked for something like that in the past, but Android doesn't get a lot of love in that arena like the iOS devices do. I think you'll probably have to find a speaker setup with a standard 1/8 audio jack.
Aw. That's what I was afraid of. I didn't think there would be a big audience for this, but I thought I'd give it a shot.
I was just wondering if anyone has tried the very few out there. I do appreciate the help though

Does anyone use a nightstand dock that supports fast charging of our phones, either through USB C passthrough or any other method?
There has been some discussion on this already, consensus is that there are not a lot of good choices.

The Encased one looks the best I've seen but the reviews are horrible. Don't get your hopes up if you buy one.
If the well-known and liked companies that make USB cables are having a hard time getting the USB-C specs right, you can bet that the docks are an afterthought. Seems like it shouldn't be so hard to make a high quality USB-C dock with a simple pass-through so you can use whatever cable/charger you want with it... but nobody has really done it yet.
Sony DK60 is being released February 27th. I plan on picking one up myself. Price is a little steep but what else would you expect from Sony? Specs can be found on their main website.
