Does a micro USB cable ---> car charger power + audio 3.5mm connector exist? Coming from the iPhone I had such a cable that was convenient, only 1 connector to plug in the car, not to mention that with 2 cables on the N4 it would be very weird, power at the bottom, 3.5mm jack on top, at least they could have put them on the same side ... While my car has bluetooth, it doesn't support A2DP, my only option is audio through a cable into the AUX in.

Check out the new potato tune link. It provides a2dp in a tiny package for your car. Works great with my n4.

Unfortunately I don't think that will work for me as I still want my N4 to connect to the car's integrated bluetooth for phone calls. I don't think it would be able to connect to 2 bluetooth devices at the same time.

My nexus connects to two Bluetooth devices. My first one is a Bluetooth receiver to 3.5mm to play music wirelessly in my car, this is only for audio. I also connect to my corolla Bluetooth for phone calls only.

Ah nice! But I'm still looking for a cheaper alternative, in the form of a cable ...
I'm looking for something like this as well.
Would something like this be compatible?
Ugh, I can't post links.
If you search on ebay for:
USB Charger Data Cable & Car AUX out cable for Galaxy S2 i9100 i9220 S3 i9300
It should show up.

You might want to double check that the Nexus 4 has proper USB audio capabilities. The Galaxy Nexus never did, and as such, using the headphone jack or Bluetooth were the only options. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any USB audio for the Nexus 4, but then again, I've never tried or researched.

I've tried to dig around a bit, but can't seem to get any confirmation. With the cable being $6 and free shipping though, can't really go wrong. I may just get one to try it out, but not sure, weighing my options at the moment.

I know for a fact that audio output through the usb port is supported because I've used it. I do not however have any knowledge of the build quality or pinout of that particular cable.

I've seen these on eBay for cheap, curious if anyone knew of a reliable online site that had one like this for cheap. The link below is to one on eBay for about $4 shipped, looks like it'd be nice with not too much extra bulk. Also seen ones with a short cord for the same price on eBay and about $14 at other online stores. Might be too small, but thought it'd be cool to have.

I have something that looks exactly like that, from Sedio. I got it so that I could use my Shures instead of the cheapo HTC ones.
I have to say that I was disappointed, as the wire is pretty flimsy, and I wonder how long it will last. I cannot imagine it lasting too long. It does work well though.
Don't you guys already have one? My Fuze came with one. I also have a 3mm/USB Elbow like pictured in the original post, that I got with my work motorola flip phone (cheap verizon). I haven't tried it with the Fuze yet (I should).
Does anyone know if you can use a headset with built-in mic with these adapters?
I mainly want to use it with my Shures but wouldn't mind using it with my iPhone headset to make calls with from time to time.

I've seen accessories for the Fuze that plug into it and have a mic on them, and a 3.5mm jack to plug your own earphones in. So I'd imagine whatever headset you get with a built in mic will work as long as it plugs into the 3.5mm jack.

A 3 band headset with mic works (aka original iPhone and blackberry type) but the newer 4 band on the new in-ear ipod headset does not. FYI.

I just received mine and it's awesome.
The size is just perfect and most important: it works
The only "negative" thing is, that the phone thinks that there are headphones connected whenever the adapter is plugged in, even if just adapter and USB cable are connected. But why would anybody connect the adapter, when he/she doesn't use headphones?
Anywhere in Aus?
Does anybody know if you can get this on any other online store other than Amazon? They want to charge me $40 for shipping for a $5 product!
I live in Aus and it's so hard finding stuff like this, it looks awesome.
guyes, should these adapters be plug and play?
I bought something similar for my HTC touch pro and it doesnt work, the sound still plays out of the phone speakers.
what am i doing wrong?

Yes. They're plug and play. If you bought one and it didn't work I'm sorry It's either faulty or you didn't buy the right type. An htc device uses extUSB not a regular usb like the moto adapters use.
This weekend I'm going to a radio shack to buy to do-it-yourself plugs. Why buy these connectors when you should be able to make one yourself? My idea is to open up the headset, remove the standard earplugs and rewire it to a 3,5mm socket (don't know how to call it). Voila, you have your own adapter with microphone too!

You need a female 3.5mm socket, a soldering gun, some patience, and some time. It would take some skill, you'd have to open it up carefully and if you don't solder right, you'll ruin it.
HAS anyone picked up that nokia 3.5mm cable to rca connector on the 3.5mm jack on the vibrant (TMO GALAXY S ONLY!!) to see if video and audio gets sent out? It might only appear when you actually connect a tv... so if you have it check it out and let me know.. with rooting,flash support soon, bluetooth keyboard and mouse... i wont really need a laptop.

I plugged mine into a Zune (Gen 1) AV cable that I have connected to my head unit in my car...turned on TV out and it worked like a champ.
FWIW, Avatar on the Vibrants is DRMed and it disables the TV out when you play it. You can watch the trailer just fine, but firing up the actual movie brings up a message about not being able to display it on the TV.
just for info:
i just checked the HDMI to VGA converter with my Iconia and it works perfect.

Part no: HMVM01501

The only thing you can do with audio in that situation to hear it externally is to plug speakers into your headphone port
Sorry, I meant what are you doing, as I am aware of what would need to be done I am using straight HDMI to my TV anyways and it doesn't apply, but figured I'd ask to get answers to help out others who hit up the thread.
since this tab takes HDMI micro or HDMI "D" are you guys using the Acer dock?

That's the key. The fifth pin is unused normally but for OTG, it's connected to ground which tells the device to go into the mode.
I have the original Motorola Xoom OTG cable. It works great with the Nexus 10 and is perfectly straight, so it doesn't block the headphone jack. Ebay has them for $10
http://compare.ebay.com/like/281034021054?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar
I guess I assumed the OP meant he wanted a "right angle" cable/adapter that wouldn't block the headphone jack.
Any straight connector isn't going to block it. Most of the angled ones do block it.
Hey all!
So I just got the S 5 about a month ago and I was messing around with the box today out of boredom and I saw the headphones. Tonight, I was going to plug them in so I could fall asleep to music but they don't stay in the adapter? I've never had a galaxy before so I don't know if they have a certain way the headphones go in but the headphones that came with the phone don't fit into the phone. Help? ??
Then you probably have fake ones, because the OEM headphones perfectly fit in the S5 without any adapter, why on earth would Samsung give headphones that aren't compatible with the phone ?
And yeah it's just a basic 3.5mm, like most headphones out there

Yeah you're not plugging them in all the way. It's kind of a new thing, the 3.5 port is harder to plug in to than on previous models. If there's even the slightest gap between the plug's rubber and the phone's 3.5 port and you can see the plug's metal then you're not plugging it all the way in. Otherwise go back to verizon store and explain your problem
Questions belong in Q&A, not General.
