I've made a small exercise to see if there an accessory to connect the GT 7 plus tab to TV
I found on Samsung official website at GT 7 plus section accessories a mixed accessories for GT 10.1 and 7 plus and there is a 30 pin to hdmi cable, which in description says its for the 10.1 !! here http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EPL-3PHPBEGSTA
even it is pricy but it is a solution if works
there is a thread opened in amazon about that issue and no sharp answer for connecting to TV
some said the dock doesn't have hdmi some said there is a dock that has and some said there is micro hdmi port in the dock
so anyone did hook the tab to a tv? and what is the easiest way?
also I've ordered this cable http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005YWIRBS/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
is it compatible with gt 7 plus?
The samsung hdmi adapter works fine with the power adapter plugged into it (netflix looks fine, as do vids played through mVideoplayer). The composite adapter cable does not work with the p6210.

I have the hdmi adapter, and it works well enough. I have hooked it up to a hdmi monitor and a hdtv. I haven't tried it without it being powered by the adapter. One curious note though:
The P6210 turns itself off if plugged into the hdmi adapter with the screen off charging from the ac adapter. Not a SOD, just completely turned off. Not that big of a deal, although it takes a few minutes for the music player to reindex my mp3s. My solution as such is to not charge the tab on the adapter, just use it when I want to watch something (movie/game) on a larger screen).
I picked up an OEM version on amazon for $32.99 USD (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-HDMI-Adapter-Galaxy-10-1/dp/B0059UGT1K/ref=pd_2)
Hope that helps.
I found a multimedia dock for the original galaxy tab 7 for $15 and it works for HDMI out. The 7+ is slightly wider.
question
Hello, If I want to connect the tablet to see a film on TV and charge it at the same time, it is possible???, imagine I want to see 3 films .
Thanks.
best and cheapest
Like the other post here, the Original 7 tab hdmi dock is the cheapest and it work at Amazon for under $15, if you have the mini-HDMI cable already. Package didn't come with original packaging box, but it come new and have everything needed. Note you do need your own mini-HDMI cable ( I grab one that come with my PC video card) and a 30 pin charger cable that with the Tab 7 plus. With the Tab 7 plus, it is wider then the original 7 Tab for the removable place holder. I didn't use it with the Tab 7 plus, but another option you can use a dremel to cut the side out, either way it work. Do know you will get a little video overscan on TV and I don't see and setting to correct it. But all in all video and audio stereo pass to your TV or sound system. The stand is a glossy black finish and connection are mini-HDMI on right side, 3.5 jack and the charger pin on the back.

The HDMI cable has a charging port on it. From what I know, the adapter doesn't work without the power plugged in as well.

Is there a way to do it with the IR connection us tab 7 plus users are fortunate enough to have or ability to conncect wirelessly without tv compliant with bluetooth or wifi / ethernet. ? Maybe something i can plug in to make tv have bluetooth or something? Stream video music games wireless would be nice however 30 dollars for some little cable seems to me a crime because its only compatible with this device like how apple charges out the ass for their hdmi out adapters...

The only way to output to a TV is via HDMI via the cable pretty much
So I've decided to go with the galaxy tab 7 multimedia dock.... it was only 14 with shipping amazon I hope the output resolution is as maximum as the galaxy tab plus 7 ? I find it a joke to spend 30 to 40 on one single little cable no thanks!
Note: you say to dremel a a side? Can you post final picture of that modification at all?

anyupdate after getting the plus to work on the HDMI dock?
I believe it should not have issues.
On the otherhand, I want to get the RCA cables to work...but i am not sure how it can be done...
using OTG connection with female USB outlet & getting a USB to RCA for connection.I hope it is okay...Pls post out if anyone willing to try out!
thks!
I picked up 4 of the Galaxy Tab multimedia docks for $7 each. They work fine with the GT7+, the fit is a little tight but will work. I am getting 1080i to my TV. You do need the power cable connected for it to work, so I picked up a couple extra of those too, connected to any USB will work, but won't charge. It appears to switch the screen to landscape when connected to HDMI, and I didn't get it to switch to portrait, which is the orientation the tab is in while in the dock. I am thinking about fabricating a stand to go along with one of the docks I got so I can use it in a landscape orientation to match the TV output.
Does the hdmi adapter works with a 1amp charger? I'm hasitating between sgt7+ and the mediapad. It'd be good if don't have to buy an other charger.
Hi everyone,
I know this has been confirmed elsewhere on the net, but I didn't see anything here so thought I would pass this on to the more hardcore audio fans here.
I tried all my USB DACs last night - RSA Intruder, Apex Glacier, HeadAmp Pico, Leckterton UHA-6S.MKII and all are working with the Xperia Z.
great news! thanks mate!

I recently got the MW1 (only €19!!!) and learned about DACs (apparently there's a pretty good one inside, Wolfson). Now using this together with the MDR-1R and my Xperia Z! Really nice.
The DACs you are talking about are standalones? How would you use these and why? And why so many? Sry noob questions, but would really like to know.
Yeah, standalone DACs/amps. You would use these because they give you better sound quality than the phone itself does, and also the amplification makes them able to drive less sensitive headphones, which phones are unsuited for. Now that Sony, HTC, and Samsung all have USB audio in their phones it means I never have to care how good or bad my phones inbuilt sound quality is, I know I'll always have awesome sound quality regardless.
As for why so many, well, no particular reason apart from I wanted to know which I liked best and I'm taking my sweet time about deciding!

Thanks for the explanation.
What do you mean by less sensitive headphones?
If I understand, newer model phones all have a DAC inside already?
In my case, because there's a Wolfson DAC in the MW1, would you recommend using MW1 or just using Xperia Z (in the case of audio quality) ?
PlugAndPlay
Is it a simple plugAndPlay or do you have to restart the phone with the DAC plugged in?
Would love to attach a Behringer X302 to my (future) Xperia Z
It's only 42Euro at Thomann.de
According to the Android App USBAudioRecorderPRO
i can record a signal with the Xperia Z (hopefully)
Think that output is also possible?

All phones have a DAC inside, a DAC is a digital to analog converter, and is required for the playback of digital music and sound.
The advantage of bypassing the phones internal DAC, which is what is being done with USB audio, is that if a phone has a poor DAC (or good DAC that is poorly implemented for that matter) you're not stuck with that.
Headphones and IEMs have varying sensitivity to a given input signal - some require more power to drive effectively (and when I say drive effectively I mean drive to both good listening volume levels and adequately control the driver of the headphone to get the best from it). That's a fairly simplistic and ham-fisted explanation right there to get the basic gist across, if you really want to understand 'sensitivity' you should take a look at somewhere like Head-Fi and so some reading about sensitivity and input impedance (for starters). As a general rule IEMs tend to be more sensitive than full-sized headphones.

I haven't tried input, I expect that will require USB Audio Recorder Pro. I can check that with my generic Logitech mic.
Connection via a hub should work fine, at least for output, have done that with my S3 and Note II and it's fine. Not sure about simultaneous input and output via a hub though.

You can use a Y-split cable according to some at Head-Fi, however I believe it will only charge the attached peripheral and not the phone.

Hi, I am really interested in knowing more. Could you tell me how you plugged the Xperia Z? Is it a direct plug and play using USB out from the Z. ANY SPECIAL CABLE NEEDED OR JUST THE CHARGER USB CABLE?
Appreciate the info. :good:
Hi,
I'm very interested in this thread.
I bought that device for my xperia z, ESI Dr. dac nano.
But it doesn't work "power consumption error message", because this dac is usb powered :s.
I think the xperia z will only accept dac/AMP which work with their own battery, do you have a device to test this ?
i'm also very interested in the hrt microstreamer but it is also usb powered, so i won't buy it until i have a proof it can work with an xperia z.
I think your not new in "the word of usb dac/amp" could you give me an advice if i want to buy a battery powered usb dac/amp, as small as possible and with a sound as good as the microstreamer(only basing on review :s)?

You are right in that you need a self powerd amp/dac. I suggest the Sony PHA-1.
By any chance do you know if for Xperias equiped with 4.1 Jellybean connection to outside amp/dacs is plug n play or do you need special app?
First of all sorry for my bad english
The things that you need to fabricate charging dock are as follows:
1) Old CD case
2) Old sony ericsson data cable
3) Some fast glue
1) Disassemble CD case in order to use only the back side
2) From data cable remove plastic fixing legs
3) Mesure with the phone and mark the correct position of the cable ( the picture of the cable should be upwards)
4) Using some fast glue bond the connector to de CD case and voalla the dock is ready
And hese are the pictures. Maybe tomorrow i will make it like stand but for now is working ok for night charging

Yeah, nice work!

It works! But, what's the voltage? Isn't it low?
Why would the voltage be low? USB is a standarized port so there's no difference between chargers when it comes to voltage.
The other thing is the current that varies from 500mA (USB 2.0 port) and 900mA (3.0 port) up to 3mA. The current depends on the charger not the cable.
I tried making this and the charging time takes a long time. I am gaining about 10% per hour. Is this normal?

Depends. Which charger do y use, more precisely how many amps does it output? Maybe you contact surfaces are to small. A pic would be welcome

I don't think the charger has any effect, I believe the pins are set up to draw a maximum of 1A, probably due to it being a dock, it wants to "slow" charge.
As for it taking a long time, I found that the cable had a huge effect, switching to a better cable made it charge correctly.

Ah, correct, wiring, to small section causes more energy loss. So taking a thicker wire isn't l luxury. But standard usb wire should work.(I used a Sony Ericsson fastport data wire)
Could also be the soldering, if it isn't sold properly you get bad contracts.
I'm using a 750mA charge ( from the x10) and it never takes so long to charge even over my custom system running a sleep taking app over night.

I wanted the same dock+speaker end result so I ended up using my BT speaker and using tasker (but can use smart connect) to auto on BT when docked which it then reconnects to speaker when in range then turns BT off when undocked. Obviously totally different than wjatbtou have to work with but I already had the speaker so it cost me nothing to do.

Hi, I would go with something like the attachment. Using a sbh20(or similar) for wireless sound transmission. Speaker on the side. ( if you thing is stereo, one on each side), and the phone in landscape mode on a inclined surface with the pins on the bottom.

Yes, it attaches through the micro USB. My understanding is, that there is a resistor on the 'Sense' wire of the usb that triggers dock mode, and enables audio to travel over the Data + and - wires.
At least, that's how the dock worked for the older Galaxy S models.
The iBOLT Dock'n Play cable...
All, the cable you're discussing is available from us at iBOLT on Amazon here, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009PN6APM When the microUSB is inserted it triggers "DockMode" in any Samsung Galaxy S3, S4 or Note I & II. You can go into "Accessory-Settings" and select "audio out" and "dock mode screen". This means the sound from all Apps (not phone calls though) will go to the 3.5 mm aux-out jack so there's only ONE cable needed for charging AND playing music to a car-stereo or home surround sound system (if they feature a 3.5 mm female connector). Also, with the DockMode apps like iBOLT Dock'n Drive, CarHome Ultra, Ulysee Speedometer, can be set as default "home screen" apps. You can also set TuneIn and Slacker Radio as "home screen". Summary: No need for a separate aux-out cable when using the Dock'n Play cable... Great accessory for home or in the car. I'll stay tuned to the conversation if anyone has follow up questions.
So what's so special at iBOLT cable? why I can't use the same cable like attached in the picture in the first thread..
how come no one make cheaper cable thats do the same thing?
thanks.

as I far as I know, it's because firmware update, there's no any mod/patch that can override it, and let us use this cable?
iBOLT cable working on S4, but it cost 20$, which is alot for simple cable.. so if their cable works, I don't see any reason why the other cables wont work.
I'm starting to see a number of USB-C to 3.5 headphone jack adapters on Amazon, though a great many of them have less than fantastic reviews and many reviewers indicated they don't work for specific phones. I recently saw one that was specifically indicated to work with the Moto Z, so I went ahead and bought. It came today and I am able to CONFIRM that it does indeed work with my Verizon Moto Z Force phone.

The USB-C adapter seems to fit well, and I'm getting audio from the Google Music player in both ears just fine. Just thought I'd share my results in case others were looking for working adapters. If you found one that definitely works with Moto Z as well, please share it here.
I'd be interested in finding out if anybody finds one which allows charging at the same time (some sort of USB-C to 3.5mm + USB-C adapter). Otherwise, my phone is useless on a road trip (running Waze eats the battery quick, and I like to listen to music via Aux In). I know that the Car Dock Mod allows this, but that's via the Mod adapter on the back of the phone and I need to use a Universal dock (wife uses an iPhone).

FWIW, if you have a wireless charging mod, TILT makes a universal car dock with wireless charging: http://www.tylt.com/car-products/capio-car-mount
That'll leave the port open for the 3.5mm adapter. Waze will probably still eat faster than wireless will charge, but it should extend the time significantly.
I should probably read posts before responding to them. Please ignore. :]

Incipio actually makes a really good vehicle dock mod that allows you to charge and has a 3.5mm output. Only mod I use regularly, it's ridiculously convenient. Crazy that it's not very well known, because it's easily the most useful Moto Mod.

RIF. He mentioned the mod in the post you quoted. He also explained why it won't work for him.

Derp, didn't read the original quote, my bad.
You get one with your phone though so does it matter if there are after market ones?

... What if you lose the one it came with? What if you want to have extras?

To me it does. I don't want to carry it everywhere with me to get potentially lost or mangled in my pocket. I'd rather leave one at work, one in the car, and one at home.
I see. I actually only use mine in the car now for the aux input but otherwise I've already converted to Bluetooth headphones unfortunately. And no, not beats. Beats are terrible.
I found what claimed to be OEM Moto cables on Amazon and ordered a couple, but they are currently unavailable. I paid $7.58 each.

I also ordered this one, which was made by a third party and was $6.99

I cannot speak to durability because I just received them in the last week, but all of them did at least work initially.
