type c earphones wont work - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Hey guys. So I recently bought the essential earphones (type c) and they work pretty good on every other phone. They do not work on my essential phone, I've tried everything (safe mode, I messed around with the usb settings, I cleaned the port). Is there anything else I can do??

They work for me.
Im on stock March update with Ex3.16 and rooted

I'm thinking to just root the phone and install some custom room/kernel.

I don't know what it does exactly but might be worth clearing cache or data in the system app called Accessory.

Already did that
Essential sent me new pair of buds and they don't work either; it may be a problem with the USB port

I see. I'm not surprised, I've had something sound like it "caught" a couple of times when connecting, sounded like it caught on one of the usb contacts. Now I'm always very careful to put it in straight as the the port they have used doesn't have an internal guide like Samsung phones that force the connector to be straight before it meets the internal plns. Not a good component choice, I think. Hope you get it working

Energy Supply by Usb hosting and Micro-Usb to HDMI Cable

Hi! I know there are several kernels that enables usb hosting on our Galaxy S, [I'm using last Semaphore right now], my question here is: Does exist any way to supply energy directly to the usb device from our terminal? I have the proper cable to connect them [atm I don't remember the name of it], so I thought "There is an exchange of energy trought the usb entrance in our phone, so why we couldn't use it not just as input, but as output too?" Let me know it, and thanks in advance
Because you can either have power or data transfer, not both, due too pin arrangement, external power is needed unfortunately
Thanks for answering! But let me understand, when usb mass storage is connected, is there not both transferring of data and power supply? Why would be different with usb hosting?
Up!

I understand.. Well I googled it, but just couldn't find the reason. I guess it's like you said, just a hardware matter. Thank you!
Just a last thing, as we're here. What about the micro-usb to hdmi adapter? Is there the same problem or it will work?

Yes! Very thanks, let's hope so. At least I've given 5 free euros and not 15 to Amazon xD
When I'll test it, I'll post the result :good:
UPDATE: Apparently, neither the hdmi output cable works on i9000. I looked around, and I discovered the reason why it doesn't work is about mhl drivers. They need to be compile inside the kernel, and no one seems to have done it yet. Ufortunately, 2 on 2 failed. Damn and thanks either :good:
Up! Anyone could implement those drivers in a kernel? I can donate for that too! Come on!

Can someone with 1024x600 RK3188 Joying try backing up and uploading mirroring app?

Had to do a factory reset on my headunit because it wouldn't boot. After factory reset the mirroring app is gone. Contacted support and they let me know once it has been reset, it's too late. Can someone try backing the app up to an APK and uploading to see if I can use it?
I can do it for ya tomorrow.

files attached, try it out and let me know
The mirror app has not gone (only the shortcut from jeg desktop has gone) you just have to install it again from the OEM icon on the units desktop. Select the OEM icon, select APK and find the Easyconnect app in the listing. Push it to install it.

W.... Wow. I contacted the customer support and they said "Once the unit has been factory reset you will not be able to use the connect function anymore"
Thank you, gentleman and scholar! It does not want to see to want to connect to my phone but I'll chalk that up to the program being buggy and needing a different USB cable.

They say the same on their homepage (that its gone after reset) - but we know better
BTW i haven't succeeded either in connecting my iPhone using the connect function. No big deal, I can't se what i would use it for. Almost any program i could think of mirroring to the unit can be installed directly on the unit, so why bother with mirroring

Is it the last in Malaysk?

FWIW, the EasyConnected app doesn't work with iOS 9 AirPlay mirroring (same as most other third party mirroring apps).
If you are looking for an alternative, Splashtop's Mirroring 360 works well for me on my Joying HU.

Yes it is, and it is working:good:
Can you confirm either installing from the OEM folder, or the download worked? I want to install malaysk ROM, but I have the same issue, need the mirroring, and now joying have also responded "fac reset will erase license and you only get 1". I really dont get this approach, they shpuld give better info, but anyway, hoping you had an update on this.
Also, how well does it work overall? I am just getting started, so any heads up would be great.
I had the Easy Connect app working fine with my phone prior to installing Malaysk's ROM. After reinstalling Easy Connect, I had my phone connect once, then the HU told me that the cable was bad, and now I cannot connect at all (Keep getting 0x11 error).
Any suggestions on how to make it work again?
I can now state that installing Malaysk's ROM and reinstalling Easy Connect does work*. I am pleased to say that I have used the screen mirroring to my satisfaction. (But, I cannot say what happened to get it to work, it just kind of happened).
Unfortunately, the phone initially goes into "Drive Mode" which, aside from being annoying, does not allow use of the Head Unit's screen. So, I must fiddle with my phone even longer in order to get out of that mode so I can use the mirroring correctly.
I also have not found a good way to force the phone to be in landscape mode. The one app I found that put it into that mode correctly had issues that interfered with other phone features to such an extent that I decided removing the app was my best option.
*This assumes the phone and Head Unit paired in the first place. My first Head Unit (Single Core) would never pair at all (before or after root).
My phone (HTC M8) just updated to the latest ROM (Marshmallow, maybe), and now Easy Connected does not work. It goes through all the motions, but the Head Until stays dark. Hopefully something changes soon.

Android Auto running LOS14.1

Anyone able to used Android Auto running the latest version of LOS? First time using it so I'm not sure what to quite expect, but I think it would something more than nothing!
I've used it a lot on my Note 7. It works great. I ran it once in the Axon 7 and it worked just fine.
Rooted at all?

Were you able to get this to work ? By your last post I realize you meant Android Auto on a car head unit and not the Android Auto app lol.
Lol yeah I did. I found that MTP kept changing over to USB charging. Switching it back to MTP fixed it

Headphone Adapter Issues

Hello, today I was trying to use my headphones but my phone wouldn't output anything to them, I have two adapters so I decided to try the other one and that didn't work, and also when I try to use YouTube it is incredibly slow with the adapter plugged in. And also my phone is rooted with elemental X kernel installed
Yeah the official one has a dac built in where alot of third party dongles and even Moto's don't.
I'm going under the assumption that this isn't an issue that can be fixed through software. If not and someone has found a fix other than going out and buying a new adapter please bless us with your solution.
Here is what I did, I unrooted my phone and that seemed to work

Did this really work
Yes I was experiencing other problems with root so I decided to unroot and that worked
I had some issues with mine slowing the device down initially, but then it informed me that an update for the dongle was available, and everything's been fine since. Update installed fine on a rooted phone.

2022 Chevrolet / GMC Refresh - adb help!!!

I just purchased a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado and it has the refresh interior. This includes a 14.1" android tablet as the radio.
This device is running Android 10. I have enabled developer settings, but can't seem to get any devices to pick it up in adb mode.
I've tried with my phone (wireless) and with my computer (wired).
I'm trying to side load some applications to it.
Can some one help me in this forum?
Thanks in advance
We're you able to make any progress on this ?

Unfortunately not. I've never had any issues doing this with android devices. Any advice would be appreciated
Darn... I havent been able to either.
I was really hoping to be able to sideload some basic apps since this is more or less an Android tablet in the truck.
Any luck on this

Which android stick did you end up going with? Also does it work in full screen?
I tried one from Amazon but it only works through apple carplay so it only shows on 2/3 of the display.

Hey, this is kind of a stupid question but.....along similar kinda thought, when I connect my phone via USB to my car, is there a way I could see and change the stock parameters in the sound system to something more like my liking. I use wavelet with my phone and when I plug in with USB in the car to drive even the car is effected. Without the wavelet it doesn't sound the same. I'm wanting to see if I can somehow do that so I don't gotta plug my phone in with wavelet. Cause sometimes wavelet acts funny.

I am using the M-Stick MG-S01 off Amazon.
It don't show the whole screen but most. It's also not the greatest, but it works for the most part. Which one are you using?
I was able to get ADB to recognize this system. However I get the error from android ADB tools "The Secure ADB mode is enabled. Please use the GM Secure ADB Client tool to authenticate first." I am looking for a way around this. Any ideas?
Also note I have firefox and airscreen(airplay mirroring) working in the GM emulator so if only ADB worked we could be having so much fun.

I also have a refresh Silverado and just tried a CarPlay box, how did you get it to go almost full screen? Mine still shows the side scroll menu with the clock and media player
I'm assuming you know how to activate developer mode by going
Touch "Settings"->"About"->"Build number"->then tap the white file name several times and it will count down how many taps it takes to enable it.
Still trying to figure out how to sideload apps if anyone has made any progress.
