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

How did you get a free speaker? I'm not entirely sure what you speak of, but I am intrigued.

In the UK if you pre ordered you could claim a free Samsung Level Slim bluetooth speaker.

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

I say this because i have used already 4 HTC cables and they all stopped working properly when that rubbery bit rips (example below).
The phone doesnt charge properly and the computer doesnt recognise the cable/phone.
I want a recomendation because i once used a nokia cable but that didnt work as it took forever to charge my phone.
Out of these ones which one will work properly: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=micro+usb

The Nokia cable shouldn't be slower as its basically the same
I haven't had any problems with the cables I've bought from monoprice.com for about a buck a piece... Every one of them charges just fine and works will on the computer as well.

ROM? If your USB port was "broken" you wouldn't be able to charge. No way to root without USB. Possible data pin corruption. Seek further direction from the google.

No, no it does not, it only charges. And I even changed it so that it has to prompt me to connect to mass storage. I also have to say that the usb cable is working, and I've tried 3 other computers.

What cables are you buying? They all charge and transmit if they're micro usb. It could be a bad cable from the data pinout side or it could be a bad connection on the data pinouts from the phone side. Here's the photos

Either way you will never be able to buy a micro USB cord that doesn't have five strands.
It isn't the cable, I tried using the same cable to connect up to my Optimus T, and the device showed up in windows and on the phone as an option to connect as mass storage.
Well. Maybe the same thing happened to yours as mine. The usb connector broke off from the motherboard. But there's 7 contacts on the other side; +5V and GND have two each so it's possible to have broken just the tx or rx lines thereby leaving it incapable of talking but still able to charge.
I have exorcised the demons! This house is clear.
But seriously try wiggling it or bending it. If it works and/or finishes breaking it off you'll know for sure.
Dang, I really don't want to open my phone and check if it's broken. Hm. Is there another way to root the phone via an APK, or flashing an update.zip or something like that?
Not really. Better if you fix it. Sorry dude.

Even if there is (and I don't think so) that wouldn't be a good idea. If anything at all goes wrong or you aren't happy with what you would have done, there would be no way to go back to stock without the data port working (since the back to stock methods we have use Heimdall or Odin and require a computer). I just don't think it would be safe.

When I took mine apart it looked fine it's only when I actually looked under a microscope that I could see the cracks. Ok the microscope may have been overkill but definitely find a magnifying glass or some reading glasses.

Thank you for the recommendation, I was meaning to buy one for some time, just slipped my mind a time or two !
was thinking OTG and hub , but what about a together ?
getting my nexus player tomorrow , and realized i only own right angle OTG , considering the below OTG/hub , i know it requires a power adaptor , but i am a junky for ports and power .
any owners see a issue with this ?

A good powered hub is near a must for a device like the NP as there are so many uses for peripherals: hard drives, keyboards, mice, USB keys, Flirc IR controller, usb ethernet, etc. I highly suggest getting a decent powered hub with a lot of ports and a good track record. Monoprice sells a pretty good powered 7 port unit that has great reviews (I have four all over my home) and is relatively cheap:
http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=103&cp_id=10307&cs_id=1030702&p_id=5328&seq=1&format=2
The hub you were looking at above is limited to 3 ports and doesn't come with an a/c adapter. I'd look elsewhere, imho.
So far I have had good results with a bus powered hub. Granted, it's not going to work for a bus powered power hungry accessory, such as an external hard drive. But it powers my wireless dongle for my F710 and a USB flash drive just fine.
I've noticed my Logitech K400 had some pretty bad range issues when the receiver was connected directly to an OTG cable, but when I use a powered hub it's working great. So, it may be worth considering, if you notice any problems with an unpowered setup.
Just want to update. This cord works fine
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B4GGW5Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have this one and it works great. I broke my rightangled one trying to force it to fit with the hdmi plugged in...glad they are not expensive.
I bought my right angled USB OTG before I got the unit and also had some trouble getting it in there. The problem was that the power cord was in the way. I resolve it by simply plugging the USB OTG in first and then inserting the power cord.

You are lucky because yours bends towards the power cord and not the HDMI cable like mine did...there was no way of having both installed at the same time.

Unless you're a premium spotify user, using an expensive DAC for low quality music is not ideal.

You can but the micro SD card is a much smaller attachment and come in capacities that are cheaper and higher than the flash drives.
Only thing I noticed when I used mine on the Nexus 6, if you left it in, it was a constant battery drain.
I originally got it to store 70GB of music on it. Every time I plugged the drive in, it would have to "scan for media" or something similar. The more storage/media, the longer it took. And when it was plugged in, you cant charge your phone (and wireless charging did not work either).

Good question. Id have to check if any allow simultaneous data + charge, use a usb a extension cable.
Besides my intention is having portable access to mass storage mainly for offline data access.. It works as a charging cable as well albeit a short one. Can be used to xfer from another device/ pc..
