I got the official vehicle dock and the sound coming from the line out isn't so good compared to the headphone jack. I'm wondering if the components within the dock is to blame or the phone itself (kernel?)

If the OP does find a cable that does the job I'd be keen to know how it turns out.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chris247:
I am very surprised, no one is manufacturing such a cable. I am sure there is a big business for it.

I have never soldered anything. It is possible to make 2, one for me as well ? I would be very happy! I am based in Paris.

The quality should be good, as Samsung is selling a docking stations to output the sound on a hifi system. Bad sound quality is not noticeable on basic headphones, but on a hifi system that would be catastrophic (so Samsung would not sell docking stations).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
You need an amp to improve the sound from the line out since it is unfiltered and not treated through the phone's yamaha pre amp.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bricked_tab:
Thanks a million chiefroastbeef! Luckily I have a cmoy amp and man did it make a difference. I'm keeping this post short because I don't want to hijack the thread any further so thanks again chiefroastbeef :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
Ahh, the cmoy, very cool headphone amp. I have a DIY AMB mini3 with an Alien dac connected to my computer. Now with the info from this thread, I really want line out! Though I must admit, 2.3.5 with poweramp sounds really good.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wurzelsepp3:
Ok the Cable is finished, when plugging the cable in the phone automatically enters dock mode and outputs audio via the micro-USB port.

Quality is OK I guess (I will compare it to the quality of the 3.5mm headphone-jack output), but keep in mind that I'm not an audiophile ;).

The build quality of my cable is not great, but it was more or less just a proof of concept.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chiefroastbeef:
That looks very promising, thank you for sharing!

Keep in mind, line out is unfilter, unamp audio output, so the sound will sound a bit bland. One must plug an amp into it to "color" the sound.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bricked_tab:
Good on you, wurzelsepp3. As for the audio quality between the headphone jack and line out I'm pretty sure you'll notice it but it shouldn't be a problem if you just want the functionality.

I just tested the cmoy amp in my car and it sounds good now.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chris247:
Excellent !!

I need such a cable too !

Can you post how you built it ? I am not good at electronics.

I guess you have taken:

- a USB (type A) cable

- a jack cable

- and a micro-USB

and then cut all of them to just keep the plugs. But then how did you joined the different cables together and how did you installed the resistor ?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] safeed:
Hai wurzelsepp3,

I like your cable could you please post more photos of cable end pins and give more details of connection diagram, it will help us to make one.

Thanks n advance
[Galaxy S II Accessories] chris247:
wurzelsepp3, can you send the description of you cable.

I made a little paint drawing to show the wiring I hope it helps.

I will try to answer any questions :).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] safeed:
Thanks for Image

Hi wurzelsepp3,

Thanks for your Sketch, please confirm whether it is same for car dock mode and desktop mode only by change of resister value and please confirm following my comments

1) Is it possible to charge the phone as per your sketch through PC usb port and via car charger out.

2) Is it possible to hear songs from stereo socket out through stereo headphone.

3) Is it possible to connected car audio system/external sound system because i saw another link like this

[Galaxy S II Accessories] wurzelsepp3:
Yes the only difference between car and desk-dock mode is the resistor value.

1) Yes the USB-plugs only purpose in this setup is to supply power, so any charger will do the job

2) Yes, but you have to keep in mind that the sund coming out of the micro usb port isn't amplified, so sound quality and volume are rather low, so you might wanna use an external headphone amplifier

3) Yes, as car and external audio systems have a amplifier it should work quite well.

Docking Station

Finally I made my own style 3 in 1 Dock station, includes Car dock, Home dock and auxiliary audio out with the help of selector switch. Conversion of car dock to home dock by sliding the selector switch,also possible to charge the phone from home or Car dock mode. Auxiliary audio sound is nice to hear and All items compacted in small case.

Thanks for all, to give me such idea and sketches.

Try Cablejive dockboss + , for those who have ipod car integration, its not the most elegant solution (still have to plugin a 3.5mm jack at the top, however no amp necessary) but at least its good quality, getting one for my note.

Also would like to know what is the difference between Car Dock mode and Desk Dock mode with respect to Audio.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] the_buzz_man:
I just wanted to thank you for the info and diagrams. I plan on making one for the S3 once I can verify that the pinouts and resistors are the same. From what I hear, things may have changed somewhat with the S3, but I'm sure it won't take long to figure it out.

Would any of you with this cable happen to be around a Galaxy S3 phone and be able to tell me if it works with the S3?

I plan on getting this phone soon and would really like to know if it works as is or if a modification would be needed. I have read that the OEM Samsung Infuse car dock works with the S3 with all features (including car mode), so I am expecting that the cable would not need to be modified. I would just like some reassurance before doing the mod.

Thank You for your time.

Car Dock audio output

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

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

This reduces greatly the charging noise. I've measured a 10th of the voltage on my oscilloscope.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Imscuba:
well, i have been following this thread for a while and watching ibolt's cable they said would be available in the next 30 days (spoiler alert: that was more than 30 days ago) and i ended up making the cable and screwing it up somehow. not sure if i made a mistake soldering, or if it was the fact that the closest resistor i could find was 4 attached in series to add up to 620k instead of the 619k. i decided to order new parts and do it the right way, from scratch with connectors instead of cutting existing wires. i did order enough connectors that i should be able to make a couple extra if anyone is looking to purchase them still.

granted i did not register on here just to try and make some money, i found in my research this morning just such a cable for sale. i had not seen it previous times i have searched, and it has no reviews. i thought for those who are that desperate and/or willing to take a chance i would share it and maybe save several people some money and time. i already ordered everything, so its of no use to me now. i am still within my first 10 posts (didnt notice earlier about this rule, but makes complete sense), so those interested please feel free to send me a message and i will reply with the link.

will it work? no idea

will it fall apart? probably considering the price

have i been wrong before? countless times.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] biggvsdiccvs:
Thanks for drawing the schematic! I was hoping I could cut a cable with two micro USB plugs and use one of them to make the adapter, but the cable only had four wires. Do you know if anyone makes five-wire cables (and where to get them) or will I have to solder wires onto a micro plug myself? Would I be able to get it from DigiKey or Mouser? I know I can search their websites but in any case I'd like to know what part you used and any advice you might have.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] s'pht:
These are being sold as finished cables now: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151076541897 (I bought two, one for each car - the plug was a little tight at first but works perfectly on my GS3 and Wife's GS2)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] biggvsdiccvs:
Thanks, I'll try that.

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

So basically there was a ground loop. Thanks for bringing that up. Is there still audible noise with your fix, what phone do you have and where did you use the adapter (car or home)?

If the charger is decoupled from the amp, as would be the case with a wall wart, for example, then your fix is all that's needed as long as the phone uses the shield as ground internally; if the shield is not connected internally or cannot be used, at least the USB and the audio ground wires need to be connected as close to the phone as possible.

But in a car, the charger is probably not decoupled, so there could still be a ground loop (which could be fixed with an isolation transformer, but hopefully that won't be necessary). I just bought one of these adapters on eBay, mostly to use in my car, and will see what happens in a few days.

Hey guys! I think i've customized to the limit here. This is just a quick video building on (or in addition to) my last 3D UI video

The main thing I want to put across is my "dynamic clock" idea. Basically, when you unlock your phone to glance at the time, you're greeted with a live wallpaper but on a fully transparent locksceen that changes with the time of day IN REAL TIME :D but yea, you'll see what I mean in the video :)

The rest of the vid is just for FUN.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TOA Duck:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
After seeing it pass through the FCC, I had been waiting for the Note to hit AT&T. I would have gladly returned the SGSII in favor of the Note, but the moment I read the latest news - and that AT&T is favoring LTE over exynos, I decided to give up hope on the Note.

I honestly don't think the snapdragon processor has enough power to drive that high resolution display without stuttering. That might not bother AT&T as long as they get to push LTE phones (even though LTE is nothing more than a meaningless buzzword in the vast majority of AT&T markets right now), but it bothers me. It's like taking a beautiful Porche and sticking a moped motor in it.

Even if the snapdragon is capable of pushing that display, it'll only do so by draining the battery quicker than a 14 year old boy with a copy of national geographic.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TOA Duck:
Hahaha. Whaaaa??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Enzopreme:
The fact that they are favoring the LTE over the Exynos, even though they dont have many areas with LTE coverage ATM really pisses me off. Ive been waiting for this device to get actual AT&T support for a while, just to find out i shoulda bought the one from overseas a long time ago? THIS SUCKS!! I already owned a Hercules, basically the same thing as the SR but without the LTE, and I had an amaze, both of which run the same internals as the AT&T "note". I am sooo disappointed right now, pffff, snapdragon, what a let down. :mad::(:eek:

edit: they did say to keep in mind its hearsay, while unlikely, lets hope that it IS the case!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kbilly70:
I too have been waiting to see if would come to AT&T for a while now and in what form. My gs2 is a work phone and been was going to get the Note as a personal phone once it hit here.

Could be worse - Verizon customers have had the choice of only battery-hogging fatties or underspecced cripplephones for many months.

LTE isn't going to be mature enough for primetime for at least a year, the power/weight penalties are way too high currently. Unfortunately it's starting to look like AT&T is pulling a Verizon, not giving customers who want a mature, refined, high-end phone with decent battery life many options.

Most likely, the I777 is going to be the peak of refinement in terms of contract-subsidized devices on AT&T for at least a year. Anything newer and you'll be one of AT&T's LTE beta testers.

Remember the early days of UMTS? We're in the same position now with LTE.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juscoll:
I had the same problem and concluded that since the dock wouldn't charge either that it must be the charger that was faulty. I found that the charger seemed to work again after spending a few hours in my freezer. I read a bunch of posts from people with similar issues and this worked for them. Apparently the cold resets a sensor - seems improbable but who am I to argue because it worked. So give that a try.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob dylan:
this just happened to me, like 1 hour ago. neither the dock or the tablet would charge.

take the charger apart, i.e into the 3 pieces, cable, uk( or US/EU whichever you use) adapter and charger pack. check the small black pin at the bottom of the uk adapter, if that pin is broken off there is nothing to secure the 2 contacts in the right place and the charger will short out or not charge, if the 2 contacts dont connect properly the charger wont function at all.

the small black pin on the uk adapter on my charger had snapped off, so the charger wouldnt work as nothing was securing the contacts.

solution= get the super glue out! put some glue around the area where the small black pin should be( mine had snapped off), connect the uk adapter and the charger pack and most importantly make sure there is zero gap between these 2 pieces by pressing the 2 pieces together until the glue sets.

now put the cable in the charger,connect to dock or tablet, now charges no problem and has been the last half or so hour.

:-)

the transformer charger is a badly made pice of junk.
