[Q] For cell phone, External antenna through test port - General Questions and Answers

Hey there. I am planning on using the rf test ports built in modern cellphones to connect external antennas.
For my life, I can't find who sells adapters!! Plainly sticking the cable is not reliable, those ports are very brittle.
The first pot in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279903
has links to antennas on ebay and amazon which feature the kind of adapter I want. Those antennas are garbage for my purpose. I am only interested in the connection adapter.
This company sells the ports in bulk. I dont need ports, I need adapters

Who sells?
Thanks!

[Q] Galaxy s3 1535 9300 difference? (HDMI out related)

Here is my goal: We purchased the gameklip for our phones, and I want to run emulators, and play some games with the video streaming to our mitsubishi 82" 82742 tv. (We'll also do various video mirroring to the tv, for things like ebook/ecomic reading, android based games, or other apps.)
Plans are to use the wireless version of the gameklip so the hdmi port is freed up for hdmi out/charging, so I'm looking to buy an hdmi out adapter/cable for our S3 1535 phones, but every product advert I see for them lists the 9300, not the 1535.
What are the difference between the phones, and should I be looking for something specific to the 1535? (I couldn't find any online comparisons between the verizon 1535 and the 9300.)
It looks like the hdmi adapters can be had for about $10 shipped on ebay or amazon.
We were running our old droidx phone's hdmi out to the tv before our new phones. It looks like the old droidx hdmi cable has a micro hdmi port for the phone, and the S3 adapters give you a full sized hdmi out.
I think I need the latest jellybean leak, the 9300 hdmi adapter, and a new 12' hdmi cable, or do those adapters also have a micro hdmi on them as well?
Also it sounds like to use the home theater, I'll also need to add a audio cable to plug into the home theater (or does the s3 hdmi out also pass through audio to the tv speakers? using the tv speakers would be fine.) Worse case I can use my bt stereo headset, but audio coming from the tv or home theater would be nice.
(Sorry for all the questions, but we are still on a learning curve coming from the DX.)
You want a 9305 quad core with 2gig of ram. i535 is only a dual core and the 9300 only has 1gig of ram.

I think you misunderstood my question. We already have the Verizon Galaxy S3 phones. we are looking to what we need to hook them up properly to our bigscreen tv to mirror video/audio out.
I'd Say go to Verizon buy an mhl adapter around$40 don't buy the cheap ones doesn't work well . it
allows you to mirror, games and all

Mhl is a service key piece that let's mhl compatible tvs to control the device remotely with the channel changer. Since most hdmi tvs don't have this (mhl) they make an adapter for basic hdmi out usage since it is different protocols.

I can confirm that the Samsung HDMI adapter that is specific for the S3 works for the I-535.
$20 on Amazon.

Thanks for the info, and relocating this to the proper location, Mod.
I also looked into wirelessly sending video/audio via the samsung allshare dongle for our tv, but it sounds like it still does not receive 1080p, and some people have all sorts of connect/frame dropout issues with that.
It sounds like the newest jellybean leaks improve the situation, but spending $80 hoping it gets resolved doesn't sound very practical to me.
I think we'll go with the mhl adapter. I checked my droidx cable, and it does have a full sized at one end, and a micro hdmi at the other end. 8(
Is monoprice still the best place for low prices on hi speed hdmi cables? I'll need a 12 footer to stretch from the couch to the phone.
I've heard good things about Monoprice, but haven't used them personally.

Holy crap are they expensive! $10.50 plus shipping for a 1 foot long cable? Are they smoking crack?
I purchased 3 6 foot long hi speed hdmi cables off ebay just a few weeks ago for less than $10 shipped.
I haven't seen any validation for premium expensive hdmi cables anywhere... every time you read reviews, unless you are running extremely long distances (20 feet or more) everyone says all hi speed rated cables are pretty much the same regardless of price.

I might have looked at the wrong cables then. Thanks for that info again!
I have a feeling we'll just go with the hdmi adapter and the cable.. it sounds like the samsung allshare dongle just is not ready for prime time yet.

Proper USB charging cables

Hey!
Found this forum as I was looking into why the h*** my USB chargers didnt charge my new S4 :silly:
This thread helped me a lot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274321
But one question remains unanswered:
Where to find a decent USB cable that serves same ammunt of current as the original charger+cable?
I feel a need for a longer cable than the 1M delivered with the phone.
First I tried a cheapo 3M cable, unshielded=300mA
Then a shielded 3M=600mA
Cut the shielded 3M one into a 70cm cable, and did not connect the shield=1900mA, just as the original cable.
Is it really so that any cable more than 1M long cannot be used if I want to achieve the full amps?
Or is there a good quality cable 2-3M out there just waiting for me to find it?
From my experience of buying Micro USB cables for use whilst driving and charging the phone.
All apart from the supplied Samsung cable are useless and don't deliver the 1900 mah charge.
I have lots of Mini USB cable or various lengths which I don't use any more.
So, I decided to buy a micro to mini USB adapter.
I bought it from Amazon UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mini-Micro-Adapter-Charger-Converter/dp/B008CAH5NA/ref=sr_1_1/275-7996231-0241748?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1373119829&sr=1-1&keywords=micro+to+mini+adapter Other suppliers will have them.
It works perfectly on any mini cable I attach it to, cheap retractable's to long length cable, giving 1900 mah all the time.
I've since bought another 2.
If you buy one of the above, you might need to remove some plastic from the end that fits into the phone, as it can slip out of the phone when tugged.
That only effected the first one I bought, not the other two.
It's easy it fix, just use a sharp knife in the joint seem of the plastic, to separate both halves, file off any excess plastic and close the plastic case around the metal work, it will relock into place.
In my opinion, for the price it's worth buying at least one.
I found a 10' cable (~3M) that charges at the same 1.9 rate as the stock cable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43321912#post43321912
You might want to consider monoprice. Have used their HDMI cables for years. Got a buddy in TV for 35 years who has used their cables at the network forever. They're also very reasonable. Their premium cable (6ft) will set you back $3 US +shipping.

Of topic, but 10' is ~3M.

LMAO, I knew that. Not sure what I was thinking when I put 1M in there.
Thanks for your replies!
First of I have ordered some of the adapters mentioned.
And for the cables.. Live in Norway, so tried to find some sellers who ship here...
Seems like I need to look more into that after my vacation :silly:

I just got my S4 and my existing set up does not deliver the needed current. I am not surprised the existing cable did not work since it was a flat wire that I pulled from a retractable setup. It looked nice running up my dash. Now I have to find a replacement. I only need about 50 centimeters or about 20 inches.
Any suggestions?
Mediabridge micro usb 2.0 cables on Amazon are high grade cables. I've purchased a couple of them.
I'll find a link for you.
Link found:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004GF8TIK
They have a couple of sizes. I purchased the 6 foot cables.
*Note:
Not all cases accept the size of the usb connector though, as it is slightly larger than the stock cable, without notification.

USB Type C Data Cable from Best Buy (or other local shop)

so, i'm seeing some posts about the wrong kind of USB-C cable frying devices. three questions.
1 can anyone recommend a good USB-C to A cable for data? my computer doesn't have c, and i want to be able to access adb and root and all that jazz.
2 are there any cables that allow charging safely? i hate proprietary chargers, and the one they provided is way to short. Answered
3 i see everyone ordering from amazon, but I live down the street from best buy. i'd rather just go buy one now. i don't want to go ask an empoyee because they may not know which cables work, so i'm asking here in case anyone has bought one from a big box store.
More than likely the only one you'll find at Best Buy is the Apple branded one, which works just fine but is over priced.
The only other USB C cables I've seen there have been various adapters.
I have a "j5create" brand USB A Host adapter from there that works just fine. Only reason is that I used to have an employee discount, otherwise almost every accesorry at that store is overpriced.

Play it safe and don't spend a lot of money. I recommend this USB A to C cable from Belkin F2CU032BT06, comes in various colors and it is USB-IF certified..
Best Buy has them for $20 but can be bought for about $10 shipped http://www.ebay.com/itm/Belkin-MIXIT...W/322397095951

CHOETECH USB-C to Micro USB Adapter

Hi everyone, thought I would share this with you all. I have in the past had problems when it comes to not having my type c cable with me, and it seems all my friends only have micro USB cables which aren't much use to us 6P users.
I was offered to review this product by Choetech, and am very happy to say that this is a great solution if you have forgotten your cables.
They are type-c to micro USB adapters which can be attached to your key ring, and do not take up any space whatsoever!
I have attached the link here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-CHOETECH-Connector-Keychain-Resistor/dp/B01ICPPHGQ/ref=nav_ya_signin?ie=UTF8&qid=1476191615&sr=8-2&keywords=choetech+usb-c&
The email for the contact at Choetech is [email protected], if you contact her she will offer you items to review for a very well discounted price on the items.
Hope I have helped some of you out!
I bought a package of 6 cables from choetech and they are extremely well made. Works for data too when connected to PC. Good thick cable and OEM looking ends. Well worth the small amount of cash I paid. ( amazon on special )
I will have a boo at those ends Thanks.

Pretty much get most of my accessories from these guys
I got a pack of these for a honest review and although I haven't used it much my colleague has borrowed it off me many times to charge his LG device due to not having a spare USB Charging cable at the office. He cannot fault the device and says it still charges pretty quick albeit not as fast as USB C to C but that is to be expected.
They are nice and small enough to fit on a keyring and not loose easily.
It's nice to know that should I forget a USB C charging cable that I can rely on keeping this with me as it's on my keys and my friends all have at least one Micro USB cable lying around so i can always rest easy knowing i have a charging solution.
Again i'm impressed with Choetech especially considering before my Nexus 6P I had never heard of them , but they really are good value for money, designed well and seem to be pushing at our limited accessory market which is a massive plus as this is the 2nd accessory i've bought and can happily say i will continue to buy more from them.
