If I'm not mistaken, JB supports audio out through USB.
Does JB push digital or analog line?
There was a demo at Google I/O but reading up on this briefly hasn't stated if an external DAC is required.
Ideally, I'd like to make a male microUSB -> female iOS dock adapter to do both charging and audio out through one port, but never got to it on previous phones. It'd simple enough to do, and be great to take advantage of all the various iOS docks that everyone has, but if it requires an external DAC it could prove to be a little more complicated.
I presume nobody knows?

Hi all,
I think it's safe to say we all hate the 30 pin proprietary connectors on devices like the ipad.
My only concern is, how capable will the USB port on the xoom be. My immediate requirement would be Audio-in. Do you think I may EVENTUALLY be able to connect a USB-based audio interface (for example: the Griffin iMIC ), once USB support on xoom improves?
Also, would USB hubs allow for expanding the number of devices?
I'm already disappointed that we can't charge over USB. I hope it can deliver more than just USB thumb drive access.
Some really interesting ones! Prices are reasonable.

wow some really nice looking extras, im glad they decided to add them this time around, i believe the desktop dock shown also has an AUX output in the back to play music on large speakers, however if this is true, i dont see an AUX input on the dock, so it must stream the audio thru microusb, and then out through AUX, very interesting, but seems likely, since the implementation of MHL!
Nice find, thanks.
From what I've heard it sounds like Samsung are not supplying the MHL or USB OTG adapters in the retail box, which is a great shame and rather poor really. Can't say I'm surprised, because Samsung have tended to follow this practice with their previous flagships also.
^ Correct, MHL cable listed on Clove website as an accessory...
Let me ask this. This is an MHL port, meaning I can plug in a regular mini HDMI or mini USB(or micro, if that's what it is) like normal? Or do I need a converter cable?
On the SGS II, MHL runs over the physical microUSB interface. It can output straight to 1080p HDMI w/ audio (and charge at the same time) as well as use it as a USB host OTG device. You'll probably have to use the adapter cable to get HDMI working. If you want to charge over MHL, you'll also need an MHL-compliant TV but you can still charge normally using another cable while simultaneously outputting video.
So yes, chances are you do need some sort of adapter cable, at the very least microUSB to HDMI.
For outputting HDMI you need an MHL cable, thats all. If you want to charge and output at the same time you need a dongle (soon TVs that support charging over MHL will come out, and then the cable will handle both, in addition to letting the TV remote control the playback device).
This whole thing started with a desire to create a non-kludgy ANT+ adapter for my Samsung GS3 when using it as a cycling computer mounted on the stem of my bicycle. A couple of commercially available options exist for older iPhone models, and newer iPhones have support for BTLE, but with Android the BTLE hardware has been in place in a number of models for almost 1.5 years, but absolutely no system software or application support. Even if Google releases BTLE support, I'd probably never see an update with it, or I'd be onto another device by the time it happens. ANT+ stacks are available on Android, and several historic Sony and HTC phones had this built-in, but no recent models. If your Android phone can act as a USB host (e.g. Samsung GS3) you can kludge a solution together using a USB OTG cable and a commercially available USB ANT+ dongle (e.g. Suunto Movestick Mini).
Originally, I was looking at the ANT+ chip (Nordic Semiconductor nRF24AP2-USB) and considered building a USB OTG based board using Nordic's reference design with a different layout. I soon realized it was easier to just build a tiny USB OTG adapter and plug in one of the micro sized ANT+ dongles. To work best with a Samsung GS3, I wanted to make a right angle OTG adapter where the USB-A connector is pointing down. The only commercially available non-cable based OTG adapters I could find either pointed to the left or went straight back.
My biggest problem has been finding a Micro USB plug connector which is designed to attach to a PCB rather than a cable. The one I'm considering (Hirose ZX80-B-5SA) is actually meant for cradles. It's not ideal as it has an overgenerous distance from the part of the connector inserted into the phone to where you actually mount it on a PCB (~4.6mm). The only other board mount ones I've found are either designed for board edge SMD straddle mounting or designed for very thin PCB's (0.6mm) for right angle cable's.
Attached are the blow-ups of the design files I created using Dip Trace. I'm not a EE, nor have terrific skills with ecad tools, so please be gentle. Any feedback would be appreciated. I was considering using a low cost community fab service like OSH Park to make the boards. If it works out, I have no plans to manufacture or Kickstart a product of this sort. However, I'd be glad to share design files, gerber files, and the simple BOM for this project. Once it's built and confirmed to work, I do plan on designing a simple plastic enclosure for the part which could be fabricated using one of the 3d printer services available. I would also make the enclosure design available.
Given this is a simple OTG adapter, it should also work with other things like USB flash drives.
Again, please provide feedback.
I've tried a couple of devices that claim to connect V20 to tv by wired usb c to HDMI connector. They work for a while then the picture is lost or the phone itself freezes up. About the longest play I've gotten successfully is an hour but usually something goes wrong within 15 minutes.*
The phone has been out over 6 months now so I thought someone may have found a really dependable HDMI connector? I don't mind the lack of power in because I can always change batteries but phone should be able to play through HDMI long enough to watch one movie. That's all I really need hut I don't want to have to screw around with it 10 times to watch one movie.
Thanks so much for your help!
I've been wanting to make use of this feature, but haven't extensively yet. I have though gotten to make fair use of a micro-USB to HDMI adapter. A few trouble spots come to mind here.
Sounds like you're powering the adapter/phone from an external power source? How good is that power source? My micro-USB to HDMI was distinctly less reliable when plugged in since I was merely powering it from a normal USB port. Try running it entirely from the phone's battery. If this works better then it could be you really need a higher power source when using the adapter.
How good is your HDMI cable? Depending on how strongly the phone/adapter drives the HDMI signal, a lower quality cable could break the camel's back.
I've been running into a different bit of trouble with USB-C to HDMI adapters. I've found several of these, but whenever they've got a USB-C pass-through, the pass-through is strictly for power and does not carry the USB signals. The MyDP specification allows for USB3 to be passed through if 1 or 2 pairs are used for the HDMI signal, but allows for USB2 to be passed through no matter how many pairs are used for the HDMI signal. There are adapters which also include USB-A port(s), yet none which include an external USB-C with the USB signals. Grr!
I use C to HDMI not micro usb. V20 doesn't use micro usb. It uses slimport. I have one adapter which allows simultaneous charging and one strictly slimport C to HDMI. Both behave the same way. I have a high quality 2.5 foot HDMI wire.
Power source was Samsung tv usb powered output 1 amp. Point is I have the same issue with pure slimport and no charging.
The one that allows simultaneous charging does in fact charge and work but always craps out but so does the slimport C to HDMI.
Hmm, entertaining what you find when you do research. I suspect the V20 is using the "MyDP" specification, which is the official specification name behind "Slimport". Seems there are at least two other video out methods for USB-C.
I haven't done enough with the video-out feature of my V20 to have much experience yet. With a V10 whenever an adapter was plugged in without external power there were no problems, but when an adapter with external power was plugged in video wasn't reliable.
I'm interested in reading if you find out anything.

Sorry I haven't tried, but its seems to connect smoother the a wifi dongle.
does anyone know if there's a compatible dongle for the V20 with not only hdmi but also power input and usb host?
Happening to me too - Any suggestions
Your situation's description fits my problem exactly. I have a USB C to HDMI that was vouched as working by several V20 owners. I plug it into my Dell monitor to play games on a bigger screen. It works well for a while, then disconnects and popup on my screen says something like, "LG Bridge has stopped working do you want to exit?". Once this happens, it's almost impossible to get the V20 to share the screen again. It's not a hub, just a USB C (male) to HDMI (female).
Hey just acquired an essential phone but it didn't come with the audio jack anyone know an alert antivenin that works I tried two active adapters from eBay but they both don't work.. Any suggestions TIA
Check this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/es...ial-ph-1-list-compatible-usb-c-t3726018/page8
There are quite a few suggestions there for adapters that are confirmed working with PH-1.
It has to be an adapter with a built in DAC. (the more expensive kind)
there are other phones that basically use just a converter cable and output analog audio through the USB C port, since those are just changing USB C to a headphone jack they are pretty common and cheap.
The essential phone outputs digitally to a USB digital audio converter chipset built into the converter rather than just straight analog audio.
So just make sure the adaptor you are looking at says it has a built in DAC and it should work.
sometimes they dont list it though so if you are going for a cheap one then you may have to rely on someone in the reviews having an essential phone.
most razer phone and google pixel adaptors work but I'd still verify they have a DAC, sometimes amazon listings will just list a whole slew of compatible phones.
