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) for my i9100.
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,
canedha

Hi!
I own a Benq E72. Unfortunately my headphones broke, and they are not sold in my country. I tried making an adapter but it did not work.
So my only choice is to use a BT headset.
The problem is that BT+Movie player is too much for this phone.
I tried reencoding movies in all sorts of presets, using different codecs but I can not get a smooth play with BT.
I tried (and tweaked) TCPMP, CorePlayer, Divxplayer and Mplayer with no success.
I also tried overclocking the phone, but did not found any app that will work with OMAP v1030 (tried omapclock, XCpu Scalar and the like)
So, all that said, I am looking for any solution to this problem. So if you:
-Know a lightweight video player
-Have successfully solder an audio adapter
-Know an overclocking tool for OMAP v1030
-Know where to buy a headphone in Argentina
Please Reply
Thanks in advance!
Look at my old blog about E72 in my signature. The cabling for an adapter is there - when I had the device the adapter worked ok.

Tobbie!
Yes I read your blog, it was very helpful!.
I followed the instructions but the adapter did not work.
I used a Moto V3 adapter and modified it. It had a 100k resistance if I recall correctly.
I did not have a chance to get a 10k (All the stores are across town and closed when I go back home).
I even fooled around with the pinout but all I got was a CLICK! in one of the headphones. The phone did not recognize them.
Thank you very much for replying!
Did you notice that the headset needs also to be connected to the adapter - otherwise the device will not switch to headset mode. Pin 3 needs to be connected to grounds with less than 250 Ohms - usual headsets are in the range from 16 - 60 Ohms, so it should work. It did for me, so why not for you as well? And of course the headset must not contain a capacitor (which is very unusual btw.) but a straight connection.

The headset was connected. I will review the adapter, maybe the resistance was not right (I bought the V3 adapter on the street).
Unfortunately I do not know the headphone's Ohm-age, but I tried a few.
I really appreciate your interest and help
You have to remove all the crap that is connected to the USB for the Motorola handling.
Then you can start to use the naked parts that are left:
- USB
- MIC (not needed)
- 3.5mm headphones connector.
You must not keep the electronics for the Motorola handling!
Hello,
I have really no idea if this is possible, how hard this could be to do and what it can require but :
1 - Would it be possible when I plug my phone on my car radio with USB to control the music with my phone instead of the radio itself ?
2 - Would it be possible to deport the sounds (calls, applications etc) on the car speakers ?
Let me know if I'm not very clear
PS : please don't answer something like "use a jack-jack cable"
Thanks !
From what I get, you want to "stream" audio through the USB port. I don't know why would you want that and the jack-jack cable is not good (maybe you have a USB port on you car stereo but no line in) but as far as I know it would take A lot of modifications (stereo and phone) to make it work.
So, theoretically it is possible, practically I don't think someone will ever make it possible.
Im pretty sure it would be impossible to control the car radio with the phone via usb. There might be some kind of solution using IR, but I don't know how that'd interface with the Droid. Most aftermarket decks allow for a wired remote on the back (looks like a headphone Jack). I've used it with a steering wheel interface adapter and it worked well, so there is a possibility that a custom usb cable could be made, but would also require a custom app written for the Droid to output the signals through the usb.
On streaming radio via usb, I don't think that's possible either, bc the uusb on the deck is looking for files to read on a mounted drive.
If you happen to have an incredible, you can get the tv-out cable and make a shorting pin on the video output. This makes the phone think it's connected to a TV, and will then stream Pandora, music, Google navigation, etc through the usb. If you do this with your aftermarket radio, you'll need an aux input and an rca to 3.5mm cable unless you already have RCA.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for answers! I was asking that because I remember when I had an iPhone, I was able to play, pause, forward the music from my iPhone. I will try to use the aux-in (I have a little Pioneer DEH-3200UB).
Thank again !
That's because both the head unit and the iPhone know a common language and communicate.
Sadly, I don't think there's anything like that outside Apple.
It is called Ipod ready. That could be emulated in Android, would be another bite out of the apple,s ass.
Is there any method to force audio to play through the USB?
I have a current working setup in my car where I have a 30 pin splitter to usb and 3.5 mm cable to both charge and listen to music (pandora, apollo, play music). This method works just fine. But I was hoping that I could use a USB OTG and then just force audio through the USB OTG to the 30 pin ipod connection. Therefore I would no longer need to also have the 3.5 mm connected. Below are all the connnections I have in the car both current (working) and future (what I hope will work/but does not as of yet).
Basically I need a method to force analog audio through the micro USB of the GS3. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Current Solution Working:
Male 30 Pin Dock connector > Female 30 Pin split to Female USB/Female 3.5mm > 3.5 mm male-male to audio input and usb to microUSB to charge
(photo 1 > photo 2 > photo 3)
Due to this setup, I know that the audio going into the usb and 30 pin is in analog and not digital. Since it involves connecting to the analog 3.5 mm.
Therefore I was hoping I could force some dock mode or analog audio out through USB.
Hopeful Future Solution:
Male 30 pin dock connector > Female 30 pin to Male USB > Female USB to Micro USB (USB OTG Cable)
(photo 4 > photo 5)
Again, if anyone knows a way to force the dock mode or force all the audio for all applications to go through the microUSB in analog, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,

You should be able to trigger Car Mode using Tasker. It is under Tasks -> Display -> Car Mode. I don't have a dock to see if it works though.

Ah, I wish it was that easy. I just tried it, but with car mode enabled the audio still plays through speaker. So it looks like that is a no go.
I just found this in the forums and going to see if this might work:

Let me know if there are any comments on these methods or any others.
Thanks
EDIT: Looks like it still needs to be connected to a dock, whether its a car dock or home dock. So still no method to force analog audio through the USB. If only there was a simple switch
There are several threads in accessories that show dock and cable building and using a certain resister value on two of the pins to trigger dock mode and audio out through the usb. Or buy the infuse dock for $18 and an extension cable (and take it apart for the circuit board as I explain in one of the threads) and you are good to go.

Looks like there is an HTCpedia cable that does this. Would this work (both charge and usb out) instead of having to make the cable myself?shop.htcpedia.com/htc-usb-cable-activates-car-dock-app.html?campaign_id=12
So if I got a car deck with usb input I wouldn't be able to just connect the phone via usb and play music through it while charging?
Using my Samsung Infuse 4G Car dock.....i can play sounds through my car using the 3.5mm cable plugged into the back of the dock w/ it using just the usb connector to the phone. So somehow there should be a way to as sound is transferred though the usb port, tho it is prob something on the circuit board of the car dock that converts it. It dose put my Gs3 into car mode. Call's do not go through the the cable tho but to get anything to play you must goto Settings > Dock > Auto Output Mode (Checked). Hope maybe that helps you.
I had the same problem. Here is the solution go into settings go to dock its near the bottom then make sure you have audio output mode checked so it says use external speakers. When I do that I am able to use my cats speakers through my car dock to play the sound.

Hey guys,
Since our sony smartwatch 1 and 2 have usb slot in itself instead of having to attach another thing to charge it, is it possible to make use of it in such a way? Is it possible to view photos and other files from otg usb in smartwatch? Since it doesnt have speakers or headphone jack music will be useless And ideas? And i also hope there wasnt such thread.
Hi Guys!
I have just got my Galaxy S6 a couple of days ago and i have hit a bit of a problem.
In my car I have an ibolt cable that connects to the charger and aux input of the car and the micro usb port of the phone.
With this I get both charging and audio with one cable.
This worked flawlessly with my S4, I only had to go to accessories -> Dock settings and enable audio out through micro usb. (that was on kitkat)
Now with the S6 running lollipop there is no such settings, I have understood that lollipop supports it because in developer options there is a box for: Prevent usb audio routing, But that is unchecked.
I have tried som apps from play store but none of them have worked and the sound only goes through the phone speaker (Though it enables dock mode when i connect the cable)
I have also been in contact with the swedish Samsung support center but that is another funny story, resulting in me only getting more frustrated
So does anyone knows if this problem is solvable?
Hi there,
You'd be best served asking for help from the experts who own your device here:
