Anyone using any USB C docks with their OP6?
Looking for one that doesnt dampen the speaker as some designs look too (let me know if you have other experience).
Wouldnt be opposed to one with/without speakers on the dock.
I dont think I'll get any that are dash charge compatible but thats ok because im planning one getting two.... one for work and one for my bed side table for night/my alarms in the morning.
m concious about the quality of the charging/USB C wiring.
Any recommendations?
No one using a dock?

Hi I was an happy iphone user. Then i moved on to htc desire which fits me better.
Anyway during my iphone-life i bought the ihome alarm for iphone. it obviously has a dock connector for chargin the iphone.
Is there some kind of adapter to... sorry... adapt my ihome alarm for htc desire micro usb connector?
Any suggestion? (don't tell me to give it away... )

Yes I think you are right. He/we should need a female adapter, that should receive the male connector of the dock...lol sorry for sex example...
oooh it would be a sin if I shouldn't be able to convert my iphone dock to Desire dock...
I am amazed that no one has made a Micro USB for desire / N1 to Iphone connector.. this would allow us to plug our phones in to docks / USB Iphone car units.. etc..

Because the Desire doesn't support microUSB sound output, so u need to connect it to you 3.5mm jack which means your phone is up side down. If we can rotate the screen 360 degrees so a we get a inverted portrait it would be fine...

That is a picture of the AC Adapter that came with my HTC Touch Pro. The cable was nice and flat, very easy to put away and pull out. It is a Mini-USB, and all new phones are Micro-USB, but I can't find a new version of that cable.
Does anyone know where I could find one? Either in AC form or just regular cable form. The retractable one in my car is shaped like that, but I can't find any on my own, so I look to my friends at XDA for help.
hey all
ive been roaming thru the forums n google searches trying to get all the info i need in order to create a galaxy to ipod dock connectivity.
im simply doing this as there is an abundant of idocks but nothing really for the galaxy.
my plan is to wire a micro usb and 3.5mm headfone jack into a female ipod cable (taken from an ipod extension cable) to create a small peice that can charge the phone and play music to the dock.
having all the cable outputs on top creates a sorta problem as the screen doesnt rotate upside down (not that im aware of anyway) so id have to create a sorta stand to incorporate it into
my question is, is it acheivable to charge, play music and maybe use for alarms etc? i kno in my head it makes sense but whats the thoughts of the more knowledgable people?
and can anyone help me out with pin numbers for bothe the ipod cable and the micro usb cable?
thank you all
Is this what you are looking for?
Quality is really good and with Voodoo Sound Control installed its really great!
Or if you are good in DIY than have a look here.
Hope this helps!
Try this: http://cgi.ebay.ph/Sprint-Anycom-Bl...er_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item2c54a47edb
it basically adds bluetooth functionality to ANY ipod dock..
it works, tried it with a car audio system.
@laurens something similar to that cable but im more interested with being able to charge my phone aswell. i sorta want to harness everything from the dock i can. so charging and playing music, much like i would get if i plugged an iphone onto the dock.
@neilbantoc nah im not a big fan of bluetoothing as it gives a pretty bad sound (usually) plus doesnt really charge the phone.
after much searching i found this link. its pretty much exactly what i want except its for a different phone
wow and i cant add links.... well i found it buy searching iPod dock adapter for the Motorola Droid/Milestone
what u think is it do-able with galaxy?
You can do audio and charging through the USB port, using a 365k resistor between pins 4 and 5 of the plug to enable desk dock mode, and some software to route the audio signal through the USB port. You can charge at the same time by supplying +5V through the Vin pin (pin 1) of the USB port.
The Apple dock pinouts are as shown on this "ipod dock adapter for Motorola Droid" post.
Using a Bluetooth dock adapter would give you the play control functions of the Apple Dock, I can't think of a way to get these with a direct connection.
hey guys all good got the phone to charge and sync using the cable but i cant get the 3.5mm TRS plug to work. tried numerous plugs but no go. ive got the wire strand shield twisted and goin to pinout 2, red wire goin to 3 and white going to 4.
i re wired it up n tested the cable n it works fine just cant get it to work when wired to the ipod board.
any ideas/help?
thank you LaurensJ!
you solved a problem i didnt think of trying to solve before...hehe
Are the Pogo Pins used for anything besides charging? Can they, for example, be used to output audio from? The main reason I'm asking is I'm curious what type of dock accessories I can expect for our phones in the future (or at least hope for). The current car docks all seem to use the microUSB to charge which is nice since I just need to slide the phone in. I still have to manually connect the aux cord which is the main reason that I would even consider getting a dock though. I rarely need to charge my phone in my car, but I need to connect that cord every single time. Is there any possibility of having the aux output go through the pogo pins the future or are they only for charging through?

I've read that the pinout is the same as USB

There is a dock for the HTC One X (Intl version) that uses the pogo pins. It charges and outputs audio as well.
Unfortunately it is the only accessory I've seen that makes use of the pogo pins, and we have still yet to hear a thing about them producing a version for the One XL.
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.
