You're the first person I've seen mention the dock. I've gotta try that.

Yea, first thing I did when I got this phone. I dumped the usb cable in the trash and went and got a really good short thick cable.

First person Ive seen say get rid of the stock cable. Is the samsung one that bad? I was always told to use the one that came with the phone or if I had one from a blackberry that one. /shrug

Be leery of the longer cables. I've seen where people are unable to flash using the longer cables.

i would go with something no more than 2-3 ft. just long enough to go from outlet to top of dresser or desk. also make sure it's nice and tough. best bet is to go a store and buy it instead of over the web.

I have a ten footer in my vehicle that I use as a charger/data for my H/U. From time to time I will notice mp3's sound weird. If I switch to bluetooth they sound fine. SO yeah the longer the cable the more chance for goof ups. Rule of thumb the shortest distance in anything dealing with electric cables is better.
Just an opinion, but when I bricked mine I tried 3 stock cables at home to get into download mode and none recognized, but the blackberry "FireWire" (notice thickness vs the stock android one) was the only thing that worked.. and it is a tighter fit

There are some universal wireless charger receivers to build into phones, but I haven't found any for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2.
Did anyone find something for this?
Please let us know.

Thanks, that search string found 0 items. I do find many items in simplified search string, but they are all for center USB phones. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 has off-center micro USB port...... Can you point at one specific item or shop?
make sure you find one on aliexpress which has ribbon on the right, since the straight ones won´t work

How is this one supposed to work? You plug it into your USB port, this part is clear, but then? Do you somehow stick it under the cover? Or just stick it on the back side?

I would try to get it under the back cover, if no go, then under an external cover...... There are some clips on YouTube to check. My best guess is to use an external cover.....

It's still in transit, expecting this week.....
Ah OK, cause I'm thinking of buying one too, and there's currently a 5% discount
The only thing that bothers me is to Sacrifice the micro USB poort. I don't like that but What can you do.......
So I bit the bullet and bought one and a charging pad. Let's hope they work!
And about the USB port, I thought you'd still be able to use it cause it seemed like it would still allow the cable to go through. Well in any case I only use the port to charge my phone, everything else is done via WiFi
Actually there are 2 questions:
Is it possible to put it under original cover?
Are camera, flash light and speaker OK with this?
ok, the adapter does fit for use inside the phone, although I had to file out the USB port entrance in the back cover. That being said, it won't charge properly due to the layer of foil inside the back cover I presume. It sits now between the phone's back cover an the external silicone cover. Wireless charging is go!
awesome cant wait to try this and build a charger in every table
Hi, could you share with us somes pictures ?
Thanks

I dismantled it, I can't live without data usb connect.....
Does any know of one? The only docks I can find are just USB 2.0 out the back of the dock.
Thanks!
If you don't mind spending $$ for a high end dock, this one is adaptable to any type of connection small enough to fit, including USB C:

The reviews of that dock are spotty to say the least.
Man here is for the wish that Google makes their own.
I want a dock that does charging, syncing and audio out! =)

I'm not sure about that one. The reviews seem to indicate that there is fast charging. But the reviews seem kinda sketchy... like they received the dock to write up reviews.

You know, the car dock cable is interchangeable.
I'm not 100% sure the desk dock is, now that I think about it.
I only bought the car dock and assumed the desk dock was similar in style.

I didn't know about the car dock! I watched the video for the desk dock. You have to install the cable when you get it so I'm 100% it is interchangeable!
Awesome, good news.
I've replaced the cable in my car dock several times.
One time I had a cable with a huge connector on it.
So I shaved the plastic off the sides of the connector until it fit in the car dock.
Worked great.
I still need to order a USB C cable for my car dock and research what type of 12V to 5V adapter I need to buy that will work for 3.0 quick charging.
I'm guessing my 3A adapter will be fine but I need to verify.
I like to hard wire my charging behind the dash rather than use a cig adapter for charging.
---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------
I've got car and desk docks that are useless now because they have USB 1 or 2.
The $70 I spent on the Craigsdock several years ago has more than paid itself back due to the future proofing.
Its adjustability even worked with the stupid Note phone's offset USB port location. :good:
What about this one? Looks perfect, right? https://amzn.com/B01DT1D7CY
I want a new USB cable to charge my phone because the original is just too short. Can someone recommend a white cable for me? At least 1 meter long. I live in Hungary so I would buy it from Amazon.co.uk or such because of the shipping rates and delivery time. I read many articles about low quality non certified cables and I don't want to brake my phone... Thanks

The cable arrived and its long enough to reach any distant furniture It looks like it has the same charging capability as the original one. I haven't done any test and not planning to do, but it really looks the same despite of the length of the cable. I also don't care about the data transfer speed because I use the original cable to transfer data from pc.
Hope this help anyone who looks for a longer cable

Well, I finally got around to testing the to I have. One is the original that came with my HTC U11. The other is the one that came with the Pixel 2. The official one from HTC is 10x better in sound quality. I was amazed at the difference it makes with a high level audio system.
The one made by Razer sounds amazing too! Much better than using the Sonic headphones that came with the phone.

It's crazy how much they cost., and it's just to adapt to the majority of headset/earplugs, which have a 3.5 mm jack.
Shame shame shame on those oems who replaced the jack with the USB-C.

HTC U12+ Head Phone Adapters
I received these 2 adapters yesterday.
( https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-in1-USB-...var=651311904806&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 ) ( https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Type-C...var=651248873591&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 ) :crying::crying::crying:
NEITHER of these work ONLY CHARGE Phone. Same error POPUP
My previous post for the other adapters DO work but they are only Head Phone adapters ONLY.
( hence this is why I am looking for an adapter that will charge the phone while connected to my home stereo AUX input )
The HTC U12+ is COMPLETELY STOCK (NO ROOT or special software installed in it )
I even went to the point as to resetting and wiping out the phone since i really do not have much on it so I was not going to loose anything .
You can use "Audio Router" app to use these adapters (they are not working because there is no DAC inside).
