TV-Out...does it work?

Does anyone know if TV-Out works with this phone? If so, what cable works?
Thanks for any help.

There is no TV-Out port on the Shift. Or am I misunderstanding something here?

On some phones, even though it's not advertised, the headphone jack has a video out section to it... A tv out cable for an ipod or zune (non touch screen versions for both) would work in that case, with rca outputs.
I have no idea if it's on this phone or not... Some phones have had it without advertising it

Yeah for instance on my HTC Incredible it has TV out but is not advertised, so just wondering if anyone knows for sure, before I buy a cable.

Wow thanks for the info, I had no idea. Sorry if I sounded condescending.

But one from walmart, and if it doesn't work, take it back.

Purchased the DINC cables from amazon. They are advertised as microUSB.
However they are not. Will not fit Shift4G microUSB port.
Would love to know if this works!

They might have one through the micro usb, but I think it would most likely be the headphone jack type with the extra section for video, like for an old school ipod

So, Is anyone already tried it..? recently I install CM10 on the device, basically I compared the system with some local phone brand (IMO Discovery S88), it's already ICS Built in and capable to do TV Out through its headphone jack. Can our phone do it too..? hope anyone already test it or just give me some clue on how to do it.

I have no idea if this works but I love the fact that your pic is the cover of Disco Volante!

Hmmm.... very interesting. You know I never tried on the Shift. I do know that on my old TP2 it was not advertised. But it did work. I wonder if I still have those cables somewhere.

Try it i will
I still have a cable from my old TP, I will give it a go tonight and see what i can come up with as well.
I will try the headphone adapter from the TP as well.

Ok so I tried last night with the cable I used on my TP and that did not work. Went to try the headphone Adapter from the TP but my micro usb adapter didn't fit. I will retro locate another adapter and try to modify it to fit and try again.

Essential Earphones and more accessories available!

Essential has updated their page with more accessories, including essential earphones HD and Mini.

I'm more interested in the charging dock. BT audio sounds quite good with my JaybirdJaybird X3.

Right, charging dock would be interesting. Waiting on it as well.

Could not find this on their website

They took it down after few hours. Could be that Essential was testing how these accessories would look like on the page or was too early.

Same. I already have a set of bt cans I'm happy with, I'm waiting for the wireless charging dock and official Oreo drop.

Agree on both;
1) More interested in Essential Charging Dock.
2) BT audio sound good on Jaybird x3 (especially after bumping up the bass a little).
When I read "mini" I got excited ... thinking Essential Phone Mini (smaller, more pocket/single-hand version of PH-1).

EZ Wireless charging?

If the camera dock pins simply access power, seems EZ to print foil wireless charging antenna on thin magnetic back & slap, connecting w/ diode to camera power pins. Building all into a case may be even EZrrr...
Had wireless charging on an LG Watch--fast & reliable--definitely is the future!

Some accessories became available: https://www.essential.com/accessories

good. I accidentally ran over my 3.5mm adapter, it's not working anymore.

I would like till try the charging dock and the wired mini head phones. The Mpow Bluetooth headphones I have some time vet in the way.

The adapter is definitely a win. But do you trust essential with headphones?

Split cable for OTG and charging phone? (+audio would be nice)

I would like to be able to connect a pendrive to the phone and charge it at the same time. Audio out simultaneously would be even nicer. But I can't seem to find anything but split cables that provide power to the peripheral you connect, not the phone.

Great, thanks! From the description it seems it might work, although it does not specify that the power is delivered to the usb-c device instead of the peripheral.

Yes, ebay and aliexpress are ful of them. Searching for usb-c audiocharging yields a lot of results. All of them should work wih the Mi Mix 2, as the Mi Mix 2 outputs analogue audio on the usb c port. But mic suport might vary, so you should read the description carefully if you need that.

It's the same, only more expensive. And the eBay one isn't in any fancy packing.

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.

That's what all of these adapters are for... plugging your 3.5mm headset jack into the adapter, so it can be used with the USB-C port.

Shiiiiit.. It plays awsome!!!!!! ?

since literally noone in the entire forum wants to bother saying the answer, the answer is yes

Do we know if the pixel's 2XL headset Adapter 3.5mm in the box, fits properly with HTC U12+ ?
So that i won't need to buy a separate adapter for HTC
Thanks

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.

here are the ones i bought and they are cheap and work good on the U12+ Unlocked
https://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-C-Adap...var=562800782136&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
I ordered a couple other adapters because I have been looking for one that would charge the phone while listening to it at same time am waiting on those to arrive will update later to see if they work.

I am looking for a adapter usb c also.. Apart the HTC adapter, it does not have much that seems to work. Your link i am not sure is working fine.. also in your link the seller said: Not compatible with Google Pixel, Essential phone, ZTE and HTC phones.

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).

Yes, but some 3rd party cables may block it sliding.

Yeah, works fine

The original cable is flexible and can easily be moved out of the way. As Mackay said, no issue. To be clear, I couldn't get my device to work with a Google pixel adapter cable, the Xiaomi provided one works.

yes, especially with MIUI, they have pre-configured EQ settings for the wired headsets.
but not with BT. i just hope MIUI is open to do this in the near future, to have EQ settings for BT.

+1. I've tried everything I can think of to get those things to light up.
What happened to the post from the outraged sound engineer?? Did someone delete it?

Can't slide it with my Baseus adapter or Ugreen cable, but the oem cable works fine.
