So my wired headphones stopped working few days back. They were working fine a week ago but suddenly they stopped working. My usb type-c port is also fine. Charging with each and every cable perfectly. My wired type-c headphones are fine because they are working perfectly with other phones as well as 3rd party dongle which is working fine with "charging rapidly" as before but not audio output, "Disable audio routing from usb" under developer option is also fine. Its not showing any message like incompatibility but the sound is not playing from the headphones, the audio is routing from the phone speakers.
Mines the same with the USB pixel buds takes ages to get them to work again. Also noticed that when I charge the device it goes really slow until I twist round the USB c head and it will fast charge again with the same charging lead?? Think the USB c port is on its way pay out.

I dont need to twist or something with the cable, it turns out with charging rapidly automatically, but today i also realize that pc connectivity is also not working with this. :crying:

Had a similar problem. Needed rubber bands to hold the cable at just the right angle to charge or connect to PC - as long as I didn't sneeze.
Suspecting pocket lint I used Q-Tips, toothpicks, and compressed air to try to clean out charging port without luck.
I was ready to go to new device when I dialed it up to metal safety pin. Was last resort as you risk doing serious damage to your charging port, but either way the device had become useless to me.
I was amazed as the pocket lint just kept falling out and falling out - couldn't believe how much and how tightly it was packed in there. This method also worked for a friend who had given up on his Pixel.
Device works fine now but be aware that rooting around in the charging port with something metal could do serious damage.
That's why I always clean my pant's pocket. It also happened to me before with micro usb port of an older device.

I received my monoprice MHL adapter, plugged the hdmi cable into it, plugged the power into it and plugged it into my phone. the phone shows HDMI hooked up and my monitor will alternate between showing whats on the phone and going to a white fuzzy screen then back to mirrored than fuzzy every couple of seconds.
I plugged my brothers sensation in and it works fine so I doubt it's the adapter, he is rooted running a custom ROM.
I am unlocked and rooted but running stock rom, T-Mobile USA version.
So I went into T-Mobile and asked about this issue, they didn't know, they called tech support who in turn told them to call HTC. They gave me HTCs number, I called and explained what was going on, HTC tells me the phone ISN'T MHL compatible, that we're supposed to use the media link dongle, which costs about $100.
He suggested I try just a straight up micro hdmi cable to my tv instead.
So an older phone (sensation) has the ability, but this new high tech, best of the bunch phone can't do it, what a bunch of ****.
Edit: OK, I figured out the issue, I was running an HDMI to VGA cable to my monitor, since the monitor is a VGA connection. I then went ahead and hooked it up to another monitor that had a straight HDMI connection and it worked perfect, so VGA HDMI cable no good, straight up hdmi to hdmi works great!
Edit 2: So I just tried the MHL adapter again with the vga HDMI cable, and now it works. It's like it needed one cable to make it work and now it will work with the other, nothing changed except that I tried it another TV.
a HDMI to VGA cable? as long as you dont have special equipment this cable can't be used for anything HDMI is a completly digital standard. DVI is digital + analog so a VGA - DVI adapter is possible, but HDMI to analog is without special hardware impossible.

You are correct sir, my bad, it is a DVI cable. So just replace VGA with DVI in my first and second post.
The cable I have is this one.
Thanks.
Okay. Could be a problem with HDCP.

I'n having this issue too.. still unresolved
My MHL came in 2 days back. Hooking the phone up keeps alternating between what's on the phone and the white noise screen. I have a straightup HDMI cable going from the MHL to my LCD TV.
Any suggestions are welcome

OK, I noticed if i just go and hook up my cable to the mhl the problem comes back, the solution is to hook everything up to the phone, then reboot the phone and the problem will be gone. One other thing is make sure you have your media volume turned up as it affects sound output, so if your media volume is muted, it will also be muted or whatever volume the phone is set at. I thought I was nuts when there wasn't any sound coming from my stereo until I realized that I had my volume all the way down.
DO the reboot thing and it should work no problems, also, our phones don't need to be plugged in to your power cord to use the MHL, so I'm wondering if the MHL adapter is even necessary for us if we can live without the power cord needing to be attached.

Thanks.. Will try and circle back..
Re: The power cord, not sure if it's 'needed' but I'm guessing without external power the phone wouldn't last an hour.
Seperate issue - When I last tried, I was playing around with it and the phone heated to a point it was slightly uncomfy holding the phone.

Yup, without the external battery going to the phone it will drain dramatically. I also noticed the heating issue you mentioned.

Update: So I tried hooking up all the cables to my phone, restarted the phone and then plugged it into the TV. It still gives me same results unfortunately. I get a display but it keeps going away every few seconds and the white noise screen appears.
What a buzzkill... My old phone (Sensation) was flawless in this respect
I bought a pioneer x8500 stereo for my car with an HDMI output. I purchased what looks like an official MHL adapter on Amazon for $28. Each time I plug the cable into the Pioneer I completely lose all mobile data, I cannot even make or receive phone calls and have a circle with a line through it in the notification bar. I can see my screen on the headunit and do everything, even use Wi-fi but no mobile data, which is really important! When I unplug it I get it all back. I tried the MHL on a TV using the HDMI and I can see the screen same as on the pioneer but still no network until I unplug it.
I have a SCH-i545 rooted S4 running 4.3. Kernel 3.4.0. SE for Android status is enforcing. I had the verizon antivirus installed but removed it. I don't know if its something on my phone preventing the connections or the adapter is defective.
I have tried everything I can think of, even wrapping the adapter in tinfoil but nothing helps. I have a Garmin external GPS plugged in below the stereo and the satellite loses its signal when this is plugged in. It may be a coincidence but I have never had that happen before.

I have the red cord if that makes sense. (It was cheaper and was supposed to work but never did). You have the bpx looking one correct? Little white/red/whatever. Do you plug the power in on it? Try switching how you plug it into power.. i.e first plug in adapter count to 10 or 20 then phone. Or plug in all at oonce and radio last.. Just throwing things out there that i've seen on reviews from otherbuyers of em

I bought a genuine Samsung adapter and it was heavier and packaged different than the samsung one that I sent back to Amazon, it works fine now. It even charges my phone using a USB cable plugged into a cigarette lighter adapter. My other car adapter kept making the HDMI cutout and I think it just didn't have enough power. I am still trying to learn and get tasker to work properly and so far I am able to start up my music player and then launch Waze on the phone so I have GPS and Music on the big screen. I also use screenstandby so the phone screen saves power. On the radio side I have Mixtrax working with a 32GB mircosd card plugged into a USB stick, (that took a while to figure out because it DOES NOT work with apple) an 16GB SD card with Movies, my160GB Ipod with songs, Audiobooks and Mixtrax EZ, a DVD in the player and my phone for pandora via bluetooth but when I use Pandora I have to reconnect AVliberator. I wish I could have Waze working from my phone and my Ipod music player through the speakers. As soon as I get it all working perfectly I am going to do a video tutorial for those that had my same issues but no where to figure out how to solve them. I have a parking brake bypass switch installed that I have to click everytime I launch the phone so I can view the screen.
With no headphone jack - and at times a need to charge and listen - it is either bluetooth headphone or getting a usb-c dongle that does both charging and headphones in one ( for nighttime - for car). I am less of a bluetooth headphones guy ( hate to have to deal charging headphones) so was looking for a simple usb-c splitter that does both headphones and charging. Trouble is there are articles and reviews stating how many of the these dual usb-c dongles do not work (they do not charge) on many different kinds of phones . Has anyone found a good one that works ( charges while listening) on the mi A2. I see this has better ratings than many others.
Can anyone also reccomend a good working faster charger for the mi A2
if you're looking to use the phone while driving car, you could always get a bluetooth module to hook on your aux input.
as for charging it, really you could just hook up the module to your car charger all day, it won't damage it. Maybe just use those lighter charger with multiple usb in it, so you can hook the bluetooth module on one port, and the other port for your phone.
I have done reviews of the Soulsound Dongle on Essential and Pixel 2 and I am impressed. Fast charging works on both those phones and sound quality is amazing.

I can confirm that the Baseus L45 Type-C Male to Type-Female + 3.5mm Female Adapter works flawlessly on Mi A2, running stock Pie 10.0.2.0. I can do voice calls (both phone calls and games, tested with PUBG Mobile) and charge at the same time. Mic works. I use a Xiaomi IEH Pro HD, headset remote volume control works, middle button works to bring up Google Assistant. The adapter costs me $5 in Indonesia.

Volume might be a little low (around the same as the stock dongle) but that is due to a software bug on the phone that followed EU's low headphone volume regulation regardless of whichever region we chose. @onbeskarakterli fixed the bug through a Magisk mod (needs to unlock bootloader and root): https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/themes/magisk-low-headphone-volume-fix-t3886008
Now it sounds AWESOME.
i have usb c splitter brand ugreen, and it doesnt charge only headphone is working, tried several other brands still wont work, anyone has any idea?
Hello, I've bought this phone 1 week ago and it works really nice.
Some things I really don't like, like the chinese ROM (which I'm waiting for the unlock to switch to global) and the fact that we don't have the 3.5mm headphone jack.
I know that the phone comes with one adapter, but it might get damaged in the long run (the cable is not sturdy enough). I tried an USB 2.0 sound card connected to the phone using a USB C to USB 3.0 OTG adapter, but by doing that, the wireless charging stops.
In fact, anything that I plug in the OTG cable will stop the wireless charging.
So, I want to know if those cheap USB C audio sound cards will behave like the official USB C adapter, or they will stop the wireless charger.
Also, are those USB C passtrhu cables with a sound card working in this phone? Because with that, I could plug a wall charger and also get the headphones.
BTW, I know I could use BT, but thats not my idea.
Any feedback will be appreciated,
Thanks!
I think those audio jack/usb c cables should work.
The phone probably stops the wireless charging because the phone cant supply and get charged at the same time.
By using those cables you use the data pins for audio and the power pins for charging so it should work.
If you want to test this theory out use the original usb dongle and put it on the wireless charger.
The official headphone adapter is analog without a dac so it is not a usb device as such. It must use a dac already in the phone. Wireless charging works fine with it. I can confirm the plugging in a usb card reader stops wireless charging though.
Need some advice.
I've recently used the usb-c headphones and noticed that the connection to my Pixel 3 is loose.
Same goes for usb-c charging.
I've not noticed this before, as I use the Pixel stand and Pixel buds.
Any one else had this problem and what did they do about it.
I've read that the warranty may not cover it...
Many thanks
Had the same thing. Try cleaning the USB-C port with a small toothpick. Most of the times there's a buildup of dust in the port.
I had this issue with my pixel 2. Cleaning the port with a toothpick sounds rediculous, but indeed it does work. That said eventually my charging port wore out and and a simple breeze could cause the plug to fall out. If cleaning it with a toothpick doesn't work then RMA is your best option.
Cheers will give it a try.
Now where did I put that toothpick...
Had a similar problem (still kinda do). I charge my phone wirelessly like 99% of the time and use bluetooth headphones, so I pretty much never use the USB port. One time I needed a really quick charge, so I went to use the USB cable and got nothing... tried the USB headphones that came with it, and they also wouldn't work.
I used compressed air, nothing... toothpick, nothing... Turns out it was like corrosion on the port from not being used. I scrubbed it out with toothbrush for a long time and everything magically worked again.
