what kind of usb input do you have. IE what is it and what is it connected to (do you have a reference i can see for the device< if i where to make you a cable> i really take no responsiblity if you blow up a regular usb connector (i thought about making the same thing for a custom usb female connector in my car so it could be easier and more hidden when not in car etc.. but thought about the damage i reference below.

does it get triggerd to go into analog audio

if so whats the triger on the usb A connector.

if you make the cable just dont use the audio side all u need is a usb cable resistor and micro connector for the custom side for s3.

i could make you one easily..

but if it got pluged into a regular usb port it could be bad. (i should try but i dont know what a audio input at x volts into a usb data port

as you would be sending down the audio on the d- and d+ pins

Charging Slowly

Hey,

I've tried making this cable and everything works as it should but the charging is extremely slow. It discharges at times.

Is anyone experiencing the same issue? Are the official docks also charging so slowly?

Btw I've used a multiplier and checked. The voltage is 5V till the micro usb pin and the ampere reading is 1A.

Is it a software/kernel problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bunnybash:
yeah it's a kernel issue. i remember changing a setting somewhere on mine to make it charge at 850mah or something... it means it actually increases the charge during GPS use, screen on, and music playing in the car.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrohan98:
Thanks for the response. But does that mean that Samsung is so dumb to sell docks for $50 that don't charge properly. Because if I use this cable to charge my S3, the battery doesn't rise at all. OR are we missing something?

Can anyone with an official dock let me know if their dock charges at a slow rate.

Your response will be highly appreciated, thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bunnybash:
Actually your cable might have issues as the resistor is supposed to communicate with the phone about charge rate too.

The I9100 is limited to 650mA charging. This is why I got rid of the I777 and picked up a Galaxy Nexus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] perusmuro:
I opened one iPhone y-cable but that is little bit difference.

Is anyone see this kind of connections? -> http://i.imgur.com/JHgKq.jpg

And also it is possible that those marks are correct? Black is ground, Red is +5V, Brown is right channel etc.

If anyone can't confirm I need found my multimeter and make some tests.

Edit.

Seems that all others connections are in correct places. Only R and L channels are wrong. So those need to be change between.

Red = +5V

Black = Ground

Green = Data +

White = Data -

Brown = Left channel

Yellow = Right Channel

Blue = Audio ground

Orange = Nothing...

Charger and aux all in one

I got inspired by this thread, and did a little soldering last weekend.

I only plan to use this in my car so there didn't seem to be any point in making a separate usb cable. I had originally intended to add an aux port to a standard cigarette lighter charger, but I found this XtremeMac charge + aux on Amazon.

It seemed perfect, so I ordered one along with the resistors and eBay micro usb plugs mentioned earlier in this thread.

I originally tried to use a small surface mount resistor to save space, but after I ruined the first one I decided to go back to a conventional resistor.

Upon cutting off the iPhone plug I found power wires and audio. Audio has its own ground.

I soldered it up in the conventional manner as discussed earlier in this thread.

When finished, it makes for a very neat package, and it totally looks factory and not hacked at all.

Thanks to the 10 watt charger the phone gets a little warm if charging from empty, but it's fine when the phone is already above half.

Thanks to everyone here who paved the way for this fun mod. There's another item I can scratch off my list of features I miss from my iPhone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] HippoDan:
I guess I forgot to mention. My phone is a Galaxy S3. Works fine. There is a setting somewhere for where the sound goes when docked. I don't know about the power, double check your wiring and pin order.

Dan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] derby_sv:
Already done - without resistor I have normal charging. But will check all connections tomorrow.

upd. Dan, what value did you use? 619 or 365? I think 619 is wrong, as we see in the table - 619 is "Factory Mode Boot ON-UART", while 365 is "Audio/Video Cable".

Question,

For anyone that has done this, do you know if your audio output from the usb audio out is better sounding than the standard headphone jack?

I'm considering trying to make a couple of these. If I have success I'll let you know. I can either make it to be just a usb that can be plugged in to charge or to a cig lighter outlet. Although the cig lighter outlet cables are generally about $5-7 more expensive so that would increase cost. I'll let you know how it goes when I get the parts. Waiting on the micro usb connectors currently. Overall I would say I'd charge $15 for the usb one and $25 for the one that has the cig lighter. That's assuming that it's as easy as it seems.

So I'm an idiot and ordered desk dock resistors rather than car dock. So the good news is I can do either, the bad news is that I don't want to do a desk dock so I now have 100 resistors that I don't need.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] amiodons:
Charging and alternator noise on car dock

The problem with the car dock audio or USB audio output is that the USB charging current chirps/changes are heard/added on to the ground path of the audio output in the phone micro usb connector.

My solution was in the car dock to cut the shield trace from the 3.5 mm jack to the micro usb ground pin and connect it to the usb shield.

This greatly reduces the charging noise. I've measured less than a 50th voltage noise compared to before on my oscilloscope.

The headphone jack ground has zero charging noise.

The other problem with alternator noise or hum is the ground loop to the car radio.

My solution instead was to isolate the charging ground by using an Traco TEN 5-1211 isolated DC/DC converter.

Like this the direct audio output has no transformers that kill the bass.

Interested parties can have pictures.

This was completely hand-made using the same exact method as outlined in Page 1. I'll sell the cable as well as the surplus materials leftover from the construction process because I had to order them in bulk. that includes 4 resistors and 3 micro USB plugs.

I have an original car dock and I cannot get audio signal after the upgrade to Cyanogenmod CM10.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rampantandroid:
Try mastamoon's builds, or a nightly. I think they committed the change to enable dock audio :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rampantandroid:
I think I've found an easier and perhaps more reliable way to do this (reliable in that you get a cable with proper strain relief on it), and while costing more, I think I'm pretty OK with that. However, I have not done this myself...yet. The cables are on the way. Please if you want to proceed don't take this as me saying this is guaranteed to work. :)

https://www.usbfirewire.com/Parts/rr-mcb-ext-xxg.html

You'll also need a audio cable to cut apart or parts to make your own, terminating in a 3.5 male or female or whatever else you want.

Finally, you'll need a USB A cable to splice in to supply power with. You could also just wire in a cigarette lighter plug if the cable is for car use only.

Buy that cable in whatever length you want to be between the phone and the point when the cable splits into the power cable and the audio cable. Then, simply cut off the female connector since we don't need that and need access to the wires. Try to leave a little tail on the female connector so you can get a multimeter on to them.

Finding out which wire is which pin: Take the female connector and plug a plain old USB micro B to USB A cable that you'd normally use for charging in to it. Grab your multimeter and put it in ohmmeter mode. Working your way through each wire, carefully insert a probe from the multimeter into the USB A connector, making contact with pin 0, and then cycle through every wire on the open end until the ohmmeter reads 0 ohms resistance, meaning you've completed the circuit. You can now mark off what pin that color signifies. Do this for all 4 pins on the USB A connector and by process of elimination you've figured out which pin is 4, and you now know where the resistor goes.

Soldering in the resistor: simply solder the resistor between 4 and pin 5. Also solder the audio ground to pin 5 in addition to grabbing any old USB cable that ends in a USB A connector and splice it in, soldering it's ground to pin 5 as described in the OP.

At this point, it's just splicing in everything as we already know, though you'll want to consider shrink tubing to cover up all open connections (or any of the liquid insulator solutions out there) and then shrink tube over the area where the single cable splits into two, to prevent you from accidentally ripping the cable apart.

As I said, I haven't done this yet, but I have 3 of these 5 pin cables coming to me (one to screw up if I have to, two to get right - one for the car, one for work.) I have an aversion to dealing with the micro B connector itself as I'm not to keen on soldering a resistor in that small area - I'm fine soldering as I do surface mount soldering with no problem, but I want my plug/cable to be sturdy and molded with strain relief.

I'll add photos documenting this entire process once I've done it (or warn people off of this.) If this works well and people are interested in having it done for them, I'd be game to make a bunch of cables and basically sell them off at cost + shipping.

If alternator noise is creeping in, then whatever your power source is, it's not good enough. Your power source should be clean by itself.

Even though the names of both phones are now wrong, the Vigor being the Rezound and the Prime being the Galaxy-Nexus.

If you hated Sense that much I'm actually pretty surprised you haven't rooted and put on an AOSP ROM. The DINC has had an awesome development community and we've been lucky enough to have a ton of really great ROMs ported for us and we were never tied to waiting for HTC or being stuck with Sense.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wljohnson05:

Same here. I like a lot - a LOT - of what I've seen and heard about the Vigor/Rezound, but I simply want to give the Galaxy Nexus a solid try. ICS from day one, cutting-edge updates. The ICS presentation in Hong Kong sold me, I don't want to wait weeks to months (I suspect a viable AOSP Inc build within a week of the AOSP ICS release - I'm not as confident on the Vigor, since we don't know the bootloader status yet, and this IS Verizon we're talking about) for ICS on a Vigor.

They're (rumored to be) coming out close enough together, that if I end up disliking my Galaxy Nexus and just like the Rezound better (you can bet I'll be in a B&M VZW store getting my hands on it) I can return and switch.

I really like my Incredible a lot, and I'm floored with the strong dev community for it, and what I've seen of similar things for the EVO family and so on. I hope the same for the Vigor/Rezound will be true. But then again, I've seen an overwhelming majority of anyone with a Nexus phone saying how happy they are with theirs.

not an issue in any of their newer phones either.

I was completely going for the Rezound before I realized that it's still a mystery if it's going to get an unlocked bootloader or not. That's a deciding factor for me.

The Nexus is a great phone, but again another huge letdown is the SD card slot. I use my phone as my iPod so I need the space for my music collection.

I have no problem waiting with my trusty INC until I can see better how these phones will turn out.

Waiting for the quad core phone that is not even coming to verizon is just insanity. It'll be such a long wait, I'll bet you almost anything that the Q1 Q2 date will be pushed back, not to mention that phone is for AT&T, verizon may not see a quad core phone for another year.
