Hdmi cable

I'm wondering if anyone who is successfully using the hdmi out on their charge can post links to the exact cable you're using. I ordered a hdmi to micro adapter that isn't working for me even after kejar's fix (1.5). I have read it could be the type of hdmi cable I put the adapter on so I'm wanting to know what products are working for you guys

I bought the hdmi cable verizon had for the droid x. No problems without any fixes.
Gremlins are watching you...

I work for Best Buy Mobile and we sell a Rocketfish Micro HDMI to HDMI cable and I use it daily with my Charge, no issues at all.

Its more then likely the adapter causing the problem. I tried that on my X and no dice. So for the heck of it I tried it on my Charge when I got it and no dice either. That said when I had my X I bought an actual micro HMDI cable and it works fine on both devices now.

I used this one with my Evo & it works fine with the Charge as well. Less than $3 too.

IBolt Charging Car Dock

I've been shopping around for a good car dock for the one-s for a while, and am feeling excited about this little guy:
http://shop.htcpedia.com/ibolt-charging-car-dock-htc-one-s.html
Anyone have one? What are your thoughts? I need something that will let me keep my diztronic case on and still charge the phone, this looks like the best option...
Edit: it looks like there are a few reviews on the vendors site stating that this just the one x dock repackaged

Looks really nice. A little pricier than I'd like, but looks really good.

All, I am with iBOLT. The HTC One S is the same Dock as the one for the X, that is correct. It works perfect but there's a 3-4 mm open space once inserted on the left side as the S is smaller then the X. The functionality is the same, it starts the car mode with the very good HTC car dock application but we are hearing that many are using CarHome Ultra as well since this app has more flexibility, although possible not as nice looking.
With regards to Aux-out it is correct that this Dock does not work like the iBOLT Galaxy S III Dock with integrated charging/aux-out from the microUSB cable. This is because there's no technical way of taking the aux out from the microUSB connection on the HTC platform. We wish it was since this feature has been incredibly popular on the S III. If your car-stereo features a 3.5 mm jack I would recommend the HTC Bluetooth dongle for Streaming Audio unless it can be done over the BT system.
Hope these comments helps...

I've been thinking about buying one of these but I'm confused. Someone said "no audio out" and you're saying if my car has a 3.5 mm jack get a Bluetooth dongle.
You can access the jack for the headphones when the phone is in the dock correct like shown in this picture (4)? Because I use the headphone jack for audio out. Will the dock work for me?

Yes, the iBOLT Dock can be charged from your USB in your car. You just have to have a microUSB to USB cord, which comes with any car charger that separates the cord from 12 volt charging plug itself.

Yes, the Dock will work if you connect an aux-out cable from the phone itself to your 3.5 mm jack on the car-stereo. This will transfer all sounds from applications, including the ring signal for incoming phone calls to the car-speakers. However, you must pair and use a Bluetooth device (headset, speaker phone, built-in system etc.) for making and receiving phone calls. If you are not connecting to a Bluetooth device for phone calls the audio will be routed to the car-stereo but as there is no microphone on the aux cable so the other party will not be able to hear you. Hope this makes sense?

so after a very long exhausting search for an adapter with USB and HDMI that also had power supply that would charge the Tab i finally found one.

you can see the info from their overseas website here but have to use the US site for US folks where there is no information located here. they ship it from Germany to their US website office then to US address.
mine arrives Friday and will test out using external drive with movies on it etc.. also combining using the MHL feature to play that movie on a monitor and also using my HDMI to VGA adapter to play it on a projector all while keeping charged. crossing my finger.
of course this would be great for USB devices like joysticks, keyboard, etc..

Thanks for posting this. Please do keep us updated as to how it goes and what connections you try out. I'd be very curious.

looking nice maybe gonna pick one up too. i buy one from ebay Micro usb hub this one

Does it charge the device the same time?

i am sending it back sadly. it may work for custom Roms but on my older Sammy stuff like my S4 and N3 it does everything you would expect including charging it while it operates. on the Tab S it doesnt even recognize it is attached and does not charge either.
i have been speaking with Lindy and they are going to look at a possible solution but who knows when if ever.
it doesnt appear that anything out there today will accomplish this on the new Sammy tablets as i have looked at everything on the web i think

The inability to charge this tablet is a major PITA.

Time to consider Miracast or Chromecasting, that would free up the charging port.

Chromecast works great with the Plex app on the Tab S. Once you go wireless, you will never go back to wired Hdmi cables. :laugh:

I agree however most board rooms that setup is not going to work. I also have a projector for kids movies outside and several other things like that.

I just received MHL adapter from Eeekit. It works only partialy. It does screen mirroring but it does not charge. Battery icon shows red x and status "Not charging" when connected. And another problem is that it only supports 1080p with 24Hz refresh rate. It is fine for bluray ripped movies but not for anything else including games and all online streams (NBC Sports Live Extra for example) cause they are probably streamed at 30fps so video is choppy. I had the same issue with oem Samsung MHL 2.0 dapter and my Galaxy S3. So is is there any other way to mirror Galaxy Tab S screen with 60Hz and without using a router?

Lucky in my case that mhl cable that i bough work fine. ..

BAD ASS NOTE 4 + BAD ASS GEAR S

If this is the one http://www.samsung.com/sg/consumer/...ories/EDD-S20EWEGSTD?subsubtype=desktop-docks the easy answer is no. I have one and the usb otg will work but only if you restart with the handset in the dock also the otg will not work if the hdmi is hooked up. apparently it has something to do with 4.4 and higher not sure what as I am still trying to figure it out

I have this dock, 3.5 output isn't working with Note 4.

Free Level Speaker - Charging your device

Hey all,
Did anyone else receive their free Level wireless speaker yet? Mine came today
And you know what? It's alright! I'll definitely use it whilst firing up the BBQ or doing the washing up.
But, how the hell do you charge another device from it? Using the supplied micro to micro USB cable and the USB micro to USB type C adaptor does nothing. Even using the micro to micro into another device still doesn't work.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious but there's nothing in the manual about it.
Cheers

I got mine yesterday too, and while it's a bit quiet, the fact you can take it to the pool or the shower, is a big plus. If they were £30 I might buy another to connect two haha.
I am not sure though that it's meant to charge other devices, I think those cables might be to charge the speaker?

According to the Samsung website it should
