Mouse and keyboard connected via bluetooth? If so, you can just buy mhl converter and cradle and try connect mhl through the usual micro usb on the cradle. If it will work you can easily include the mhl converter to the cradle.

Hey guys,

I'm wondering if anyone has managed to put together a car dock/cradle that would have the charging cable mounted?

That way you don't have to put the phone in the cradle and THEN plug in the cable, the cable plugs in automatically.

Here's an example:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] flez1966:
Thats kind of what I am trying to build at themoemnt, but as a TV dock not a car dock, so it can use a wireless usb mouse / keyboard, external drive of movies and hdmi out to tv while charging.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] wgr73:
Sweet thread guys!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Pillock:
I've got that dock. It already does exactly what you want, you drop the phone in and it connects to the microusb. Also had the same one for my nexus s.... Modded mine a bit though!

Its fairly simple to open up, and there is a small PCB inside with all five micro USB pins, twice (so 10 solder pads but two are pin 1, two are pin 2 etc). Solder the appropriate resistor in, chop up a 3.5mm audio cable and solder left/right/ground to the right pins on the PCB. A little cut to the dock to let the audio cable out next to the USB and you have a charging and audio dock.... USB lead to a cigarette lighter adaptor, 3.5mm jack to my car stereo aux input in the glovebox.

The dock itself comes away from the gooseneck and has a removable plate at the back, should be trivial to mount to whatever you want to on the dash if you prefer.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ditchmond:
I bought one of these Zenis docks that have been okay (although too light). Not to mention I don't like how you need two hands to take the phone off the dock. Does this bother anyone else or just me? I'd like a dock that I can just drop the phone onto, and easily remove it off.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BlackBerserk:
I have the same problem but I just applied some Sticky tack under the dock, works fine ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Araltd:
Sorry to bring this thread back from the depths, but I have a question.

I seem to remember reading about a charging cable mod that allowed the S3 to fast charge? Was this ever truly confirmed and verified? :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Fallon:
Short the 2 data pins in the USB cable & make sure your charger can put out at least 1 amp. Many chargers come this way already. I believe it's an official standard on how to identify AC charging mode for mobile devices, not just Samsung phones.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] themadproducer:
CraigsDocks

Not so much a DIY, but by far, the best dock out there. It's aluminum milled, hand made, adjusts to many sizes (future proof), low profile, dock mod cable included and a bunch of extras. I watched the video of the guy building it. It's expensive, but considering the workmanship, materials and time...it's really a steal IMO.

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

One thing to note...that even if your charger has the mod built in...if you happen to use a USB extension or any thing like a dock that comes between the charger and the S3, and it does NOT carry the data wires, then you will not get full/fast charge rate because the S3 WILL NOT see the mod.

Also, make sure the Power Supply is ample. If you use a low rated, or cheaper power supply, or if you plug it into a wall that has low voltage, you may not get max charge rate. The higher the AMP rating, the better the chance that you will get max charging rate. Example, don't get a 1amp charger...get a 1.5 - 2.1amp charger or higher. (my cigarette lighter charger has 2 outputs....1amp and 2.1amp) The S3 will use what it needs. (max with stock kernel should be around 1.13amps draw. I use a volt/amp meter with a home made test cable for accurate testing.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Reb00tas:
I braked my usb cable but the id was missing so i took a ethernet cable and made it with 619k with charger. And 2 phono out left and right on my galaxy s3. But do you guys know what resistor i need for galaxy s4 ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lotus49:
Resistor value for S4

I'd also be very interested to know the resistor value for the S4. It's strange that Samsung doesn't just use the same values for all Samsung tablets and phones but it appears that they have chosen not to.

A few years ago I used to keep piles of resistors and other electronic components lying around and I could always find what I needed but sadly I chucked them all out. If I can get to my local Maplin over the weekend, I'll buy some resistors and report back if I can check whether 365k is still the right value to trigger desk dock mode.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] madangel123:
I tried that and it didn't work
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lotus49:
I found a site today (which I now cannot find but I shall look in my browser history on my work computer on Monday) where someone had tried this with an S4 and it did work.

Apparently, the S4 doesn't have a car dock mode (which is triggered by the 619K resistor) but does have a desk dock mode for which the resistor value is 365K. I have managed to find resistors adding up to this value so I'm going to try it tonight and I shall report back.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] docpaul:
s4 dock modes

Hi,

I have an S4 and I can confirm that desk dock mode works fine with the 365K resistor, but I cannot get car dock mode with a 619K.

Has anyone else tried this and got it working?

I'm desperate for car dock mode and analogue audio out from my S4 USB port.

Paul
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Honeybadger:
Hey all,

Bought one of these Samsung folding multimedia docks. The usb port wouldn't stay when I attempted to plug my phone into it.

Got it open thanks to this post and found some tiny springs on the bottom of the dock.

Where do they go, anyone have a picture?

Thanks

I meant to post that in *this* thread, for those who (like the OP) came from a captivate some time in their past. I had my old cappy OEM dock laying around and gutted the heck out of it and made a S3 dock out of it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] agentfusion:
Aaaaaaaaaand now I'm wrong. I just tried to use the audio port on my dock, and sure enough, it worked. I'm using stock at&t 4.1.2 and enabled dock audio through the accessory menu, and now I both the dock and the phone speaker play audio simultaneously. That's a start.

Next step is disassembling it again and rebuilding with Lego blocks or something once my OTG cable gets here and I figure out how to work that in (plug phone into dock and have a micro USB port for charging, an audio port for speakers, and a regular USB port to plug a 360 controller or mouse and keyboard into while it's docked)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] USBFireWire:
Specific link to resistor?

Does anyone have a specific link to the resistor that they're using to put it into dock mode?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lotus49:
Any old resistor of the correct value (or even close) will do. I just pulled a few that added together to the correct amount out of my box of bits but any electronic component supplier will be able to provide one. I always buy things like this from Maplin in UK but I don't know where you are.

I recently got a touchpad for my mom and I'm trying to mount in clockwordmod to update to the latest nightly build and on windows it says to format and won't recognize the drive... what is going on here??
[TouchPad General] haxin:
ok what exactly do you mean? youre trying to mount what exactly? do you mean youre trying to mount the touchpad as usb storage while your in clockworkmod recovery? also an easy way to update is with an app called GooManager from google play. dont install the open recovery script though. just use goomanager to download the zips that you want to flash then reboot into CWMrecovery and flash them from the goomanager folder on your sdcard. simple as that.
[TouchPad General] robbieas:
I've read in many threads that you shouldn't mount the drive in CWM, there is a chance the file transfer will corrupt. Instead download the file in the OS, or mount and copy in the OS, then reboot to CWM and load the file or whatever you are trying to do.
[TouchPad General] haxin:
yes theres a chance tthat files can become corrupted using cwm usb mount, however I havent had that problem yet. Also ./adb push ./adb pull or tftp work nicely for moving files to:from the device.

Have Androwook Prime 2.1 installed with bravia engine enabled. Is there a way to uninstall the bravia engine without having to re-flash...

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lennie paz:
You might get a quicker answer if you ask this in the Androwook thread?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
just dirty flash it. without going through wipes and all that. instead leave bravia engine out this time. thats what i did and it took no time. leaving that and sqlite vacuum dramatically improved my boot up times.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ravensportal:
Thanks Demandarin will do.... Appreciate the help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] andy_rose:
Just curious, why do you wanna uninstall the bravia engine?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
Are you saying that the bravia engine slows down boot-up?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
both things i mentioned previously add to the boottime. so once i reflAashed and left them out, my boot times were faster. any script running on boot will increase boot times.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
Well, yes and no. I mean, any script running will technically add to the boot time, but depending on what the script is doing, it may be negligible.

If the Bravia Engine script is merely enabling something, then it shouldn't slow things down much (but I have no idea what it's doing - haven't looked at the script).

The sql vacuum script however... I haven't looked at it either, but I'm assuming it spawns a task to perform the vacuum, then waits til it finishes the vacuum before it resumes/closes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seabirdflavour:
Hello

Although a noob I have been reading posts for 2 months and cannot find anything similar.

The problem is that my phone only works fully on HG3 ( UK ). I have tried all other major networks in the uk with the following results :-

Vodaphone/O2 No signal - nothing works

Orange / Virgin - detects signal but will not call out ( sounds like dub,dub,dub then cuts off ).

T-mobile Detects signal, won't call out - but will browse the internet.

I have got an unlock code but the phone doesn't ask for one. I have contacted HG3 and HTC who tell my my phone is not locked. I have the stock original rom - 1.48.402 after upgrading to 3.14.402, doing a task 29 and reverting via 3.03 HSPL.

I have tried downloading roms for Orange,O2,Vodaphone and T-Mobile after resetting to 2.08 SPL but these do not take ( they won't start via USB ) the phone just restarts.

Other info - at one point I had 576mg RAM ( not sure when as I didn't realise it may be important at the time ).

When I first tried to update the rom from HTC I got an error message ( something like "Not compatable with carrier" but not sure exactly as again I didn't realise it might be important.

)

I have tried the Winmo/File explorer/simlock - but nothing happens.

I bought the phone 2nd hand off e-bay - the IMEI number on the box matches the phone.

If anyone has any idea of anything else I could try to unlock the phone I would be most grateful
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
Sounds like maybe an IMEI blocked phone as your showing signal & call "dub dub dub" cut off is a classic symptom of that.

Due to coming from eBay any option is likely as if you have a bad device eBay is the best way to sell them at good price.

Really do need trying to complete a rom flash, Do you have drivers installed on PC ? if unsure install WMDC or activesync if on XP.

I would put 2.08Hspl on it & try flashing energy custom rom for testing purpose along with a good radio such as one in my sig below.

image of your bootloader may be useful too.

Good luck !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seabirdflavour:
Many thanks Mister B

I don't actually know how to post an image of my bootloader on here :o but it says the following :-

PB81100 HX-BC

SPL-3.03.HSPL XE

0X 05

CotullaHSPL 0X 30

Perhaps I should point out that it had the original SPL 1.42 on when I got it. I loaded HSPL4 as a precaution before I flashed any ROMs ( only HTC stock ROMs )

Your suggestion that it has an IMEI lock makes a lot of sense ( even though I'm not sure what that is! ) and as you are the first person to suggest that it does gives me smething else to try. I shall be packing in the morning for a few days away - but I will certainly try your suggested ROM & Radio when I return.

I am running windows XP with Activesync 4.5 on my PC which has given no problems so far.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seabirdflavour:
I have tried to load the custom ROM suggested but the site asked for a credit card number - I'm too cautious for that! I have, however, tried loading the Vodaphone Rom - still no signal - and the Orange ROM with the suggested Radio. I got a good signal but it still won't call out. I'll leave the Radio on for a while to see how it goes. Unfortunately I can't get a signal on HG3 at the moment ( which is the main reason I'd like to unlock the phone ) so I can't make sure it still works on HG3.

I doubt flashing any custom ROM's will work anyway - I've done a task 29 on more than one occasion which would surely clear any ROMlock.

I am beginning to think it's impossible to cure this so if either you or anyone else has any ideas I would be glad to hear them.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
3 possibilities:

Hardware issue

ROM issue (flash HSPL 2.08 & energy ROM)

*scroll down page & use slow download option, no details/CC are needed*

IMEI is black listed (contact your network & ask)

task 29 would have no role in removing ROM lock (CID)

CID is bypassed if using a HSPL

If this handset has been purchased used online & been like this when you got it I would be inclined to check IMEI blacklisting first, stolen handsets & handsets with account credit issues get blacklisted & then scum sell them online.

symptoms of showing signal but dialing dead or short tones & dead are classic signs ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seabirdflavour:
Thanks again Mister B. I have now loaded the Energy ROM and Radio suggested. I am most impressed by the ROM - I think I'll keep it on the phone but it hasn't made any difference as far as the original problem is concerned - 3 still works but no other sim will call out. I notice I now have 576mg RAM ( which is one of the things I wanted to try in case the previous owner accidently locked the phone with a bad flash ). That would suggest it is not a ROM issue and as I got the box ( with matching IMEI number ) and all accessories with the phone ( which was in virtually mint condition ) I think I can rule out stolen. As it works fine on the 3 network and neither 3 or HTC have it blacklisted I think I can rule that out too. That only leaves a hardware issue but even that doesn't make sense as I believe 3 use the T-Mobile/Orange band ( previously GSM 1800 ) rather than the Vodaphone/O2 band ( previously 900 ). I partly understand why I can't get a signal on Vodaphone/O2 - but I don't understand why I can't call out on Orange/T-Mobile when I get a good signal.

Any other suggestions would be most welcome as I'm beginning to believe that even the dark one himself could not solve this one!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
I would check all phone band settings & try a few different options such as change to 2G only & band selection on auto ect.

Handset does not need to be stolen, bad bill payment can get handsets blocked from networks.

Symptoms & your comments on 3 dub dub dubs & cut off is a classic sign of it.

What branded network is this one & was it unlocked when purchased .

first thing I would do is call T-Mobile & see what they got to say about web browsing working but no call & get confirmation IMEI not blocked.

Could be unlocking did not go correctly & has left phone in this state.

Perhaps an attempt at full unlock of sim/cid/security-lock by cable & software could resolve it !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seabirdflavour:
I have checked the IMEI online - it has not been reported lost or stolen and has not been blocked.

The phone is unbranded and was unlocked when HTC made/sold it originally ( verified by HTC ) but has only worked on 3 since I bought it in April this year.

I have done the suggested tests with the following results :-

GSM - Does not work at all on Vodaphone or O2 that use frequency 900

Picks up a signal on both Orange and T-mobile and both allow internet usage. Orange and T-mobile use the same network here in England -frequency 1800.

3 does not work on GSM.

WCDMA - Only 3 will pick up a signal - although my Orange and T-mobile sims are 3g enabled they do not pick up any signal on 3g.

Please note - all sims work perfectly well on my old HTC touch cruise.

It would be interesting to try the cable & software total unlock - how would I go about that ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
Odd one indeed & as an unlocked HTC handset to start with even more odd.

Only 2 problems I have seen with same symptoms was a sim locked handset unlocked then only worked on one network & even original network & sim would not work & a blocked IMEI.

Checking online is not reliable verification for IMEI & it would be good idea contact T-Mobile & Orange & see what light they can throw on it.

Can you send or receive sms on t-mo or orange ! can you get account details via short code*# numbers ?

You could also try looking into sim card slot contacts, maybe they not contacting correctly on all sims as contact faces differ slightly & a pin is off alignment or not pressing firmly against sim. Could try bit of tape on back of sim & adjusting sim position a little just to tick it off the check list !

Out of ideas after that, as originally unlocked handset can't see software unlocking going to be of benefit ....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seabirdflavour:
The T-Mobile guy was fascinated, while the girl ifrom Orange was totally bemused! The SMS/ short code numbers don't work at all. The SIM holder is so tight it has been difficult to test - but no luck so far. I would be interested to know what happened with the unlock then locked phone you mention as I think this is probably the same problem - accidently locking the phone to the SIM in use. Was this ever resolved?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
The handset I referred to ended up scrapped for parts, it was originally lock to to orange & was unlocked via paid software unlock from developer on xda.

Once unlocked used with O2 network but when wanted to use another sim had no luck getting it registered, even original Orange sim would not work.

Has been known for unlock to cause issue as process rewrites a memory block & it can go wrong but is very very rare.

Your symptoms are slightly different.

Really sounds like network authorization with device has an issue, really needs a tech from a network to review any issues they might see from there end.

Only time I have personally seen same as yours is with blocked IMEI & an incident I had with a Touch Pro which was my device accidentally being blocked due to my network making a blunder & took many calls as call staff generally know less than a clued up user & finally a personal trip to there head office & a network tech to review stystem data there end to resolve.

Your device was factory unlock to start with ?

UK model ! you tried getting generic ROM from HTC website ? (look at wiki)

Has it ever work on another network since you owned it ?

Has it been opened ? (void sticker on screw not present or other signs)

I would try get it flash with HTC generic ROM or get HSPL 2.08 on it & install an NRG WM6.5.3 ROM & radio 2.15.50.14 or 2.12.50.02_2 & see how it goes !
