Can anyone post a link to a reasonably priced USB-C to 3.5mm/Charging port adapter that works with the PH-1? Every adapter I found on eBay or Amazon states they are only for Moto phones and do not work on Pixel's or Galaxies, so I assume they will not work on the PH-1.
The one on the Google Store for the Pixel 2 works from what I hear. I'd double-check though.
I bought many cheap ones off of eBay and none worked. I finally bought the Moshi one listed on the Google store and still does not work. Anyone able to find one?

The cheap ones don't work.
You need the ones that say "built in DAC".
The Moshi adapter does have DAC. The 3.5mm audio portion of it worked. The charger port did not charge the phone. I'm looking for a dual 3.5mm/USB-C charging adapter.

My son has the Moshi adapter for his Pixel 2 and I tested it out on the Essential.
I found that it worked. You can listen and charge at the same time. I put a USB power meter on the output of the 2.1A USB-A charging brick and found it will charge with that style power source at about 1A and it doesn't matter if you're listening or not. The same power adapter directly connected without the Moshi dongle goes at about 1.5A. This is an older non-USB PD spec power brick. Don't have a USB C power meter so can't check with something like the OEM Essential power brick. In theory, the Moshi dongle supports USB-PD so you might get faster charging.
FWIW, the lack of headphone adapter bothers me and my most critical use case is the ability to charge and listen in a non-Bluetooth car. The Moshi dongle is pretty clunky for any use IMO. Ended up buying an inexpensive Bluetooth receiver for the car and it works great.

Moshi sells it directly (https://www.moshi.com/usb-c-digital-audio-adapter-with-charging.
That is where my son purchased it. Looks like they are out of stock right now. Every time I've looked at this product listed on the Google Store its always "coming soon". Have no idea if its ever been in stock there.

I've found a mini-usb to hdmi connector so you can plug in your Nexus 4 to your TV. I know Miracast is out there but I haven't read anything good about it yet for the Nexus 4, and this thing works really well. It's the slimport SlimPort® SP1002. High Speed micro USB (male) to HDMI (female) connector cable (4.26cm x 2.21cm x 0.99cm)-Supports Full HD and 3D at 1080p @60Hz, 24bpp.
And when I get the LG wireless charger from Puremobile, I'll never run out of batteries while streaming to the TV!
Unfortunately this drains the battery faster than you can charge it. I've been using this set-up for months.

Have you tried using a 2+ Amp charger?
the slimport adaptor is a very desirable accessory for sure; others (which i have acquired so far) include:
- to make up for the N4's weak battery, an external battery pack. i have the anker astro3 which can supply 10,000 mAh @ 2+ Amps -- never run out of juice again!
- to make up for lack of expandable storage, a wireless drive. i have the tiny pqi air drive which accepts sd cards up to 64gb.
- i also have an adonit jot stylus for precision note taking.
- Bluetooth keyboard. i have the igo stowaway which works perfectly.
- Bluetooth mouse. not been able to make one of these work as yet -- hopefully after 4.2.2 !
- to make up for low headphone volume, the tiny fiio headphone amp and finally, an x-mini II capsule speaker (or 2, for stereo!).
anything i've missed?

Are you talking about using the wireless charger like the OP mentioned? Or do you mean even plugging directly into the adapter?
Also, what's the power on the charger you're using?
Hello all XDA friends! Finally, the 9ft microUSB-to-aux-out cable is available as a stand alone product. There has been tons of requests for this as many of you already have a phone holder in the car and you only need the cable so you can play music/gps sound (app sound) through the car-speakers. The microUSB end plugs into the phone phone and it will charge the battery when the standard USB end is plugged into a car-charger or into the vehicle's USB port (although some USB ports have slow charging rate!).
We've also seen a huge interest in using this cable together with a home stereo or with the "old boom box". Very cool application is to connect the Galaxy phone to a boom-box and put the handset into the beach bag (9ft is a loooong cable!).
When you inserted the cable the "DockMode" will start. Download an app like the iBOLT Dock'n Drive and mange your favorite apps this way. You can also set Slacker Radio, TuneIn or Ulysee Speedomter or CarHome Ultra as default "home screen". Note that you can also set WiFi and Bluetooth to go on or off automatically when handset is connected to the cable.
This new version of the "Dock'n Play" cable should be static free and will provide great sound quality. Feel free to use this thread to ask any questions about Samsung DockMode, aux-out etc. The developer for CarHome Ultra and Ulysee Speedomter can also chime in and answer questions if there's a need. Have fun!
The price is $19.95 and it's available for Amazon Prime for a few days (only a few hundred in stock).

Yes, if you buy the xProDock this cable comes with the Dock. However, if you buy the sPro or the ProDock it does not come with the holder. We have a lot of people wanting this as they either don't want to use a holder/dock in the car or they already have something else that works well.

Are you talking about original Sammy 2A charger or some ebay $4 charger that claims to be 2A while in reality current limited to under 1A (and thus due to losses and conversion efficiency down to 720 mA)?
I have a cheap charger for 5€ but with simple USB cable : 1.9amp.
With iBolt cable (for car mode and audio out) just 0.7amp

Anyone know how to enable dock mode on the i9505G? I don't have an accessories menu so I'm thinking I'm screwed.
the dock isn't well made.. if you live anywhere that gets hot, the suction cup vibrates on bumps when hot.. its cheaply made for a 40$ product in my opinion..
I have no complaints with the quality of the dock. I live in south Florida where it's crazy hot now and my car stays all day long outside. I have no problems with the dock losing suction at all

Does anyone know if a type c splitter or adapter exists that splits the port allowing for the use of 3.5mm headphones and charging simultaneously? I've only seen an adapter by belkin for apple's lightning port. Thanks!
You need a USB-C hub with charging support. I don't know of any that have been verified to work.
Hoping for something like this as well.

unfortunately, there are times when i need to make a call (voice or video) outside of my car and the battery is low, requiring a charge (such as on a flight). bluetooth headphones aren't always readily available (or charged), so I'd rather not be at the mercy of a single port/cable. But yes, the battery is awesome and don't have any issues with that. I just like having options in case of an "emergency." I don't want to have to choose between taking a call or charging my phone.
Any update
any update on this?
I just bought the phone and I need to use the headphone adapter as well as a midi keyboard, if that's not possible its going back - bluetooth audio is not an option, there is a delay.

How convenient! You knew that the phone has no 3.5mm port and that there is no official adapter and yet you ordered it and will return it for what?

Yes I knew there was no headset and yes I will be returning it. And yes it is convenient since there is a hassle free return from Amazon. I needed a phone since mine broke so I bought the Le Pro 3, which seems to have pretty good performance but on the long run it will not help for what I need.
As far as a bluetooth headset, that is not an option since the output needs to be connected to a mixer or a DI etc and not to headphones, so if anyone knows if a usb type c hub will work, let me know... before the 30 days of the return period please! :laugh:

I thought I'd share an update for people that may need this:
I used a usb type-c to usb 3 adapter and plugged in a usb 3 hub (by Unitek). I plugged in the cheapest/smallest usb card that I had (Gigaware, bought it from Radioshack years ago) and the phone recognized it as a sound card right away (auto enabling CDLA), then I plugged in a midi keyboard on the usb hub and everything worked.

I tried searching for "3.5 usb c braided" but nothing showed up as a splitter. The word "lightning" in your description sounds like an iPhone product.
I did try an item off of amazon but had to return it because only the audio worked. Ampere would show that it was connected but it would still show as discharging instead of charging. I hesitate to take a chance, even if it's only several dollars on something without a free return/shipping promise.

Picture.
Just picked it up and works great. Holds on nice and strong. When used with a 15watt charger it charges pretty fast. If you need a car mount this is the best one we can get.
Some basic info for those who want one.
No charger. You will need any car charger but 15w will be best.
No usb cable. just a usb type c
Can be used with android auto or just like normal.
Can be used on the go for for a 3.5mm jack. That is bulky. You can also remove the mount from the back and remove the release tabs and make it a bit more useful for that but its still bulky.

I had one to. But it did not clamp on the vent to well. This dock has a thumb scre so you will rip the vent out before it slides off. Also gives you a 15w charger "charger and cable required" as well as an aux out. Plut it up and android auto will instantly launch. Great dock well worth the $65

Because it has a built in chip that makes your car read the music player data just like having a USB stick inside (name, artist etc).
You need a Type C to Type C cable to activate TurboPower, the charger comes with one included.

This has been my favorite moto mod so far! I have everything but the mophie pack and the projector. It's so nice to just get in my car, stick that right by the air vent next to my steering wheel, and I'm good to go. It's so smooth, really can't go wrong (unless your vehicle isn't so great with vent mounts.)

FYI, the dock does not allow USB data pass-through. This means that the dock cannot be used with existing radio/vehicle Android Auto. It will only auto start device-only Android Auto.
I bought it to find out.
As visible https://youtu.be/N3dhyA3femQ?t=1m20s here , the car dock allows for charging and audio at the same time. Now, is there a single cable to do the same or is this only possible with a mod?
maybe this will work when they release it https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gromaudio/smart-android-usb-car-converter-cable-for-music-on
I think your only option at the moment for such use case is either to get the incipio mod or that one on indiegogo with wireless charging and put it on a wireless charging stand. Either way I don't think it's worth the hassle.
You'll be way better with a Bluetooth headset or If you have some high end wired headset, there are dedicated Bluetooth receivers with 3.5 mm jack ...
Third option would be to just get the car dock and cut the mounting part
I think you are looking for something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Moto-Z-Type-C-to-3-5-mm-and-charger-2-in1-Headphone-Jack-USB-C-Adapter/282489851364 don't you?
I was searching for something like that myself since I got this phone. I could only find it with lightning port but stumbled upon this e-bay listing just now.
I'm not exactly keen to buy something from an e-bay seller from China/Hong Kong/Taiwan with an estimated arrival date of a whole month.

I also found this product on amazon if you want to compare: https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Supports-Charging-Reversible-Connector/dp/B072JC1VLD
Found this one even cheaper:

Don't bother buying this one. It says it's "Charging" but it doesn't actually charge.

Have someone tried the Amazon ones ?
Have anyone found a working cable?
I am also looking for one, but I would like it to have mic also work (4 connector 3.5mm plug) + turbopower charge / sync with PC.
2 years and no good solution out yet? Incredible... Why take the 3.5mm plug out to begin with? SMH!
I need a 4-in-1 solution: Listen+Talk+Charge+Sync.
Bumping the thread as I've bought this adapter: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB...Type-C-to-3-5-Earphone-audio/32840199350.html
Pros:
* It works
* It's very cheap
Cons:
* No data sync - my guess is that USB C uses D+/D- for audio signal,
* No microphone - idk if it's simply something that this particular adapter skips or what. Not a dealbraker for me anyway.
It's also an alternative for the original usb-c - jack adapter in case that one breaks.

I saw that a huge amount of splitters worked "well" but when it charges and has the headphones connected some noises start to sound... The same applies for this one or it works perfectly?
I've just tested it using the fastest charger I've found with regular USB output, LG's model MCS-04ER (got it with my G2, it's 1.8A, not recognized as TurboCharge but charging).
No noise at all.
But from my experience - it all depends on the charger, not on the splitter. When I've tried listening to music on said G2 while charging it with a cheapo car charger the noise was unbearable.
My guess is that cheap chargers cause noises on the ground line, which is the same ground as the one in the audio jack. Also running charging cable alongside audio one can cause additional noise through induction.
PS. Another minor con of this splitter: the charging lead ends with a big USB-A plug instead of a type-C (or even regular micro-USB) socket.
