I read somewhere that a Nokia CA-75U cable works fine as a TV out cable for the Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) and so did a quick ebay search anf found many "compatible" etc all around £7-20
Anyways did a google and came across one place selling Geniune Nokia ones for an amazing low price of £2.03 I then thought I would get shafted on delivery charges but was even more amazed delivery was £0.01 . So ordered one on Wednesday and got it today.
I can confirm it works perfect, kids are currently watching Toy Story2 from my phone connected to my tv (im even upscaling to 1080p ) and it's working fine

jup, although it disconnect easily, doubt that an original cable would stay in the socket more firmly.. already over 20h video playback through cable with an outstandig picture quality, figuring it's 480p
Anyone know where I can get this same cable for cheap and ships to Canada?

Try the website. I don't think it would cost that much to post to Canada tbh.
Try Focalprice.com
lts free shipping n I got it within 2 weeks at around $3USD.

It doesn't disconect easily at all, it's a standard 3.5mm jack if yours is disconnecting all the time its a manufacturing fault not to the correct specification.

Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
Bought one. Arrived today.Works perfect. A big thank you.
Can you guys tell me if there is any "humming" with the sound? I have one of this Nokia cables but it gives me this distortions :/
Probably because of how your volume is set. The idea is to increase the volume on your SGS, not on the TV. If you the volume on your SGS is low and you just turn up the volume on your TV all you're going to do is make the noise more noticeable. Try finding a mid point between too much and too little volume on your SGS. Max volume would be ideal but that would kill your battery.
Just my $0.02. I could be wrong...
Hi, I know what you mean but it's not the case.
It's a strong humming, specially when there is too much "white" on the screen. It varies according to the picture.
Sounds very much like interferance somehow or the cable has the wrong pins set, I cannot really say for sure.
Arkymedes,
Same sh*t
to All: If you had this problem, and it was succesfully solved by replacement of cable , please report which cable did you buy and where.
Still hope it's not a hardware problem, but...

My guess is that's an incorrect image. But that also does suggest there maybe another nokia one that is micro usb that "may" work on the Galaxy.
The nokia one I have is a 3pin 3.5mm jack to svideo and L/R audio
The Galaxy S hdmi out cable uses micro usb to hdmi so it does mean they can output tv from the microsd so the cable you listed could very well work???
And yes if my amp is too high I do get a lot of crappy hiss on the audio I tried a dell cable and that gives the same so its not the nokias fault.
Just ordered one. Cheers OP!

Today, I hooked my new S4 into my car's audio for the first time. I noticed that if I have both the audio out and the USB charger plugged in at the same time, I get this buzz in my speakers while no sound is coming from the device.
Now, if the device is playing music or something, the buzz goes away. Pause or something, though, and the buzz comes back. If I unplug the charger, the buzz also goes away.
Anyone else experience this?
Anyone know how to fix it?
Sounds like a ground loop. There are thingies on Amazon you can buy that will reduce it.

i did notice the buzz when i had plugged in my aux cable and my charger. But i think i got rid of it once i tried to plug the aux cable in some more, i had a neo hybrid case on and the aux cable wasnt fitting well unless i pushed it in hard and once i did that i think i got rid of the buzz, havent really paid attention to it after that since the buzz doesnt really bother me cos i usually have music playing through my car speakers if my phone is connected.

Yes. Currently there is no fix that I'm aware of. And yes, it really does suck.

I have no case, currently, so I can't get the cable in any farther (further?) than it is.
Maybe this ground loop thingie is my answer.
I'm also considering bluetooth for my audio so that I don't even need to worry about a cable.

I bought that exact same ground isolator for my car. It reduces the buzz greatly (to acceptable levels) but is still there a little when the volume on the head unit is up pretty high and there is no audio coming from the phone. I never had this issue from my old nexus s. I was a little disapointed, but like I said this dongle makes it acceptable.
Hello everyone!
This might be stupid question, but I've read about certain phones having issues with it...
Has anyone tried using USB-C headphones with the Pixel? My headphone jack is screwed up, but I'm content to just use USB-C instead, however, I want to be sure that it works before I order new headphones. I know bluetooth headphones are another option, but between deprecation of sound quality and having to charge them I'm not sure I want to go that route.
In addition to that, recommendations for USB-C headphones?
Your headphone jack is screwed up? RMA
Why not RMA it? Anyway, I'll check with my adapters in a bit.

My Fiio K1 works perfectly with a microUSB to type-c. It is a small and cheap DAC/amp that can drive anything that I personally throw at it. Even does an OK job pushing my Q701s. Just make sure you use a good cable. I am using a Fusion4K microUSB to type-c. I tried a few adapters and no-name cables, and they did not work.

I didn't really feel like going through RMA because the headphone jack wasn't a huge issue for me, as long as USB-C is a viable alternative. My concern was that some phones have issues with it due to the DAC being built into the C-headphones.
I don't know if it makes any difference, but to RMA with Verizon do they send the device and then you send yours back? I can't really afford to go without my phone for a week or whatever.

I'm not sure about the specifics of RMA through Verizon but I wouldn't trust a phone where one component was obviously faulty.

Nether of my 3.5mm to USB-C adapters worked. One came with my Moto Z and the other from Amazon. I don't have headphones that only have a USB-C plug. When I was looking for them there weren't many and the ones available had really bad reviews.
I would like to point out that only having a USB-C port isn't as magical as it sounds. I personally loath it. It's no fun having to keep track of the adapter. One of the reasons I bought the Pixel was because of the headphone jack.

Are you able to use the Pixel with the K1 as plug-n-play? Meaning you don't need a music app to play through them, so I could listen to Spotify or other apps?

Verizon overnighted a replacement to me and had me put the defective device in that box and send back. This was because my phone was freezing and rebooting an absurd amount. I'm not sure if they would do that for a headphone jack though
So guys, I need some help...my HTC U11 suddenly stopped to record voice/sounds (whatsapp, fb messenger) not even working with stock recorder, then people could not hear me when making calls. Restarted on safe mode and run all the diagnostics but it didn't pick the voice in any way, some weeks later also the charging phone didn't recognize type C earphones neither the type C dongle, I had to move it a little bit so it can connect normally...but it worked normally with the charger (a bit strange) So I took it to repair since is not under warranty anymore, everything works OK, phone turns on, no screen damage, camera, performance, all fine except the issues mentioned above. Thing is, technician said he replaced all microphones but the problem remains, also the charging port is loose (that I can understand) but he says that in order to make it work he would need to replace the whole motherboard, but it looks to me like too much since the phone is not dead at all. I'm no expert but it looks to me I am right, wouldn't be just enough with microphones and charging port flex replacement?I I sincerely hope some of you can give me a better idea or if I'm right or not, since of course replacing the whole motherboard would increase the replacement cost. Thanks for your help.
Why is it not under warranty anymore?

I'm from Perú and bought it from an external source since it is the 6 GB/128 GB version (tried to contact warranty but HTC said it was supposed to be seen by the origin country (phone was bought in Hong Kong) so you know, just by sending it over it would really cost a lot.
Send it back and get a refund. I highly advise you don't pay for anything and contact the supplier. They might cover the costs of postage if you ask nicely. If they don't, the cost of packaging and posting to HK won't be anywhere near the cost of the phone itself, or the cost of a motherboard.
Once you have your refund you can buy another phone from a location more reliable and closer to home as the 6/128 has now gone worldwide.

Dude!!! Yes!!! Same issue here. My phone doesn't recognize when it's been charged, and it only charges to 87% and the led light doesnt turn red at all. My mic isn't working either. When I make calls I have to have it on speaker so the other mics kick in. I have already replaced the charging port which also includes the main mic but no success. Hopefully someone will be able to help us. Other than that, u11 is great.

Hmmmm, I have to say i have some similar issues, except for the MIC problems. Connecting the official charger + cable does not charge the device. Nothing seems to happen. Connecting the official HTC USB-C headphones also does nothing. However when connecting the charger or the headphones and restarting the phone does work (i.e phones charges, headphones detected).
As said I do not have issues with the microphone. Seems software? Reset to Factory settings?

Sorry, can't remember. Do not have the phone anymore. After a very long HTC only path I'm on Huawei now
Everyone knows normal 3.5mm audio adapter are not fit for Essential phone due to DAC chipset required. But when you are listening to music, you cannot charge your phone.
Now i recommend a 2 in 1 adapter for you!
What's special?
1. Hi-Res sound quality with a qualified DAC - 96KHz/24 Bits
2. Max 3A PD fast charging
3. You can do 1+2 above at the same time
Here is link for you:
https://amzn.to/2mi2BXL
You will never stop the movie/game on your Essential and pull off the headphone, put on the power and continue with a speaker again.
Thanks for sharing , I ordered one and it works
I'd like to see a video review and some photos of this if possible, the way this post was written sounds like an advertisement of your own product, or a product you got for free from the manufacturer (no offense). Also wondering if it's fully USB-C spec compliant so there won't be any voltage issues when using it.
Edit: Looking at OP's past posts, he is the seller.

Happy to tell you, i developed this product, but sell by my friend.
I am open to collect all issues to improve it and listen to public what else they need.
Due to this product needs to be different with normal 2 in 1 usb c adapter (without DAC), the inside design is different. That's why all other 2 in 1 adapters cannot work with external DAC required phones, except for Moshi's. They are totally 2 different stories standing on development point.
For normal usb c adapters, the resistor lays in usb c end, however for this kind of adapters, the components have to put on the motherboard. That is to say, the motherboard will take all the risks and devices won't. The motherboard is 3 inch away from your phone, the heat won't affect the phone.
For voltage issue you are concerning, 5V comes out from power supply all the way, 2A charging into phone. One thing i have to mention: use original power supply to charge!
You are welcome to ask other users from another thread below who got this adapter!

I actually purchased it to test it out. Audio quality is definitely better than the included 48kHz adapter, but I'm running into a problem with it right out of the box. There's a pulsing clicking/popping noise that can occasionally be heard at a low volume in quarter second intervals when headphones are plugged into the adapter and you're on a screen with no sound playing (volume of the phone has no bearing on this) There's also some static when switching between screens with no sound. The OEM 3.5mm adapter doesn't have these problems. Also, the clicking/popping noise can also be heard when the adapter is plugged plugged into the wall with USB-C but not plugged into the phone. So it doesn't really matter where it's plugged into, but if there's a power source, the noise is heard. I'm thinking mine may have been a dud, but would like to hear from you or the seller on wether or not this is a normal occurrence. Sent an email to your friend, the seller, yesterday, waiting for him/her to get back to me now regarding getting a possible replacement.

In order to improve it, I'hv asked my friend to send you a replacement, cost on me.
Your problem should not happen, lets see how the replacement works.
I suggest below plugging steps:
1. plug the wall charger to adapter
2. plug the adapter to phone
3. plug headphone to adapter
waiting for your report on replacement.

Thanks! I'll try that from here on out. I realized I used the wrong words to describe the noise in my last post, the sound is actually more like a digital beep. It doesn't sound like distortion (well, the static when switching screens does), but more like something you'd hear from an error message popup in rapid succession.
The product you developed is very good other than this though. The audio quality is better than the OEM adapter and charging is fast. I'm excited to use this as a part of my daily routine!
I did have some observations regarding the design though if you'll hear me out - especially in regards to the cable you used. The cable is very flexible, which may make it more comfortable to use, but I have doubts on how well it can hold up. In my experience, the thiner and less rigid the cable, the more likely it is to fail. If the cable was more rigid and half the length it may hold up longer. I'm sure you have done more testing than I have in this regard though, so after a few months of use I could give you some better findings.

Thanks my friend. Your voice is always important to me.
For the sounding like distortion when switching screens, lets test the replacement;
For the cable, don't worry, this is best cable we are using. My partner factory is a professional cable manufacturer for 10 years and they has all kinds of cable. This one is the most expensive one. Check the copper inside by cutting it off! Come back to me within 1 year if the cable has problem.

I actually got the replacement very quickly, and I haven't noticed the beeping noise again yet, but the static/white noise is still there when I switch screens. It doesn't happen with the OEM adapter, but it's something that's present with this one. I tried 5 pairs of headphones and found that it varies in intensity depending on which pair I'm using. The best pair I used was a pair of Nox earbuds (discontinued brand), while the worst were JVC. JBL, Xiaomi, and TaoTronics all tested about the same. When switching screens/apps with no volume playing, there's a initial pop of static, followed by a second or so of white noise before it goes away. The Nox buds were the only pair of headphones I tried that only had the initial pop (no white noise following), and at a lower volume than the others I tested. It's almost as if it's trying to pick up on sound that should be playing on the new screen, but once it can't find any it gives up. It may just be a device specific problem as I haven't seen anything regarding this on the Pixel thread, and it's not something serious that will make or break the product, but it is a minor annoyance. Since the replacement had the same problem, I'm assuming it's something that will be true for all stock.
Edit: After a few days the beeping showed up on the replacement as well. Oh well, it still works great if sound is actually playing, but if you're like me and just have your headphones plugged in all the time, it's not something that would replace the OEM adapter (for the 3.5mm adapter only).
Thanks My friend,
It is really a helpful review from you! I have asked other testers also using an Essential phone but they don't have the problem like yours. However, as long as you find problem, i have the responsibility to find them out and fix it. These days i have been looking for several essential phone users to test and waiting for there reports. Meanwhile i am also asking my team to simulate your case and fix that problem, but that need time. Although the phone model is same, it needs time and lucks to re-appear the same problem you have.
Thank you for your wonderful report, i won't ruin your hard work.

I actually got the replacement very quickly, and I haven't noticed the beeping noise again yet, but the static/white noise is still there when I switch screens. It doesn't happen with the OEM adapter, but it's something that's present with this one. I tried 5 pairs of headphones and found that it varies in intensity depending on which pair I'm using. The best pair I used was a pair of Nox earbuds (discontinued brand), while the worst were JVC. JBL, Xiaomi, and TaoTronics all tested about the same. When switching screens/apps with no volume playing, there's a initial pop of static, followed by a second or so of white noise before it goes away.

Works great for phones with no headphone (3.5) jack. I have the Essential Phone and being able to charge and listen to music/movies via 3.5 jack at the same time has been awesome. The sound is just as good or better than the USB C to 3.5 jack that came with the phone. This should have been included in the box when the phone arrived. I loaded Viper up and it sounds even better. I will be buying again for my other phones..
Thanks so much Johnny for helping test!
I am also looking forward to know whether you have the same problem with the friend in above comments? He is also using an Essential Phone, but he found some problem when using.
I know you are busy, take your time and test it for more days before reports.
As a developer i am eager to kill all imperfect things and make it zero issue to everyone.
Thanks!

I have not had the pop sound/noise when switching apps or anything else. It really has been great. I am rooted running viper though.

I'm going to see if I can record the sound somehow. I'm curious as to wether it would play when connected to a speaker - I'll try that next. Kind of odd that I'm the only one who has reports of the extra noises. 2 out of 2 adapters I've tried both had the problem though, so I don't think it's a coincidence. I've also tried the adapters on 2 different Essential Phones and had the same results.
Finnaly an adapter that looks like it works as advertised .
Do you maybe have an EU store too, so that I don't have to pay an arm and a leg for customs and shipping?
Can't wait to enjoy charging and watching a movie at the same time!
To be honest, manufacturers should include an adapter like this by default if they decide to remove 3.5mm port and DAC.
Kind Regards

For voltage issue you are concerning, 5V comes out from power supply all the way, 2A charging into phone. One thing i have to mention: use original power supply to charge!

So this adapter charges at lower output than OEM (3A)?

Yes lower than 3A for smartphones. Only when you use it on laptop like Macbook will reach 3A max.
For PH-1, the max current reach 2.5A max. If you have facebook, i can send you a video showing the charging voltage/current/watt
