[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmilar:
Im sorry but i don't exactly know what your talking about when you say media dock.

Can I buy any micro USB to HDMI adapter and a micro USB to USB adapter Or do I need specific cables straight from samsung? Theres several of these cables being sold at my local NCIX computer store. This forum will not allow me to post the links however.

Thats exactly what im looking for. How much does that run? Do you have a link for it?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b00mb00mchuck:
Got mine off eBay....

eBay LINK ... MHL OTG Hub

Link to full eBay search... (choices bro)

.

.

.

I also use one like this at work... (don't need MHL there)

eBay link ... OTG Hub

It has 3 USB ports and several different card readers... I can run that with a 1 Terabyte Hard drive, 256GB Flash Drive , 128GB micro SD card , wireless keyboard and mouse... all running off that hub simultaneously.... all working as they should.

Pro Tip... Always use the MHL/OTG Power input when running powered devices... DON'T try to power from your tablet...

The first item I listed in this post (MHL OTG Hub) has a micro USB port... plug your Samsung charger in there before plugging in any other devices and before plugging into your tablet

The second item has its own dedicated power cord supplied with the device which can also be plugged into your Sammy charger to run the power side of the hub...

Failure to do this can burn out the 5 volt rail on your tablet... you will also notice all sorts of problems with devices not being recognized by the tablet when external power is not plugged into the proper port on the hub. :cool:

Many of these "hubs" come from China with sketchy instructions... they try but it gets lost in translation I suppose.

Here's what I learned over time...

when using a hard drive or wireless keyboard with a hub

plug in your external power to the hub first

then plug in your hard drive or wireless keyboard/mouse dongle

then plug the hub into the tablet

If you do things in the wrong order the tablet doesn't recognize the drive or device

Those steps are not necessary for memory cards and flash drives.

This post helped me a lot man I really appreciate it. I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure out what to buy what works etc. I just dont know which ones will work for the tab S considering it doesnt specifically say the Tab S is supported..

All im really looking to do is stream videos to my tv when I travel and connect a standard size usb flash drive. Thanks again ill probably just order that 1st one you linked me to because you say it works fine.

On a side note it kinda sucks how I cant even quote your post and reply without getting this message

"To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!"
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b00mb00mchuck:
Glad to help

That quote thing will go away soon enough... XDA's way of discouraging crap posters from constantly bombing the forum

(Cool story)

Brought my Note 3 to a work function in Honolulu... used that MHL OTG Hub to attach to the flat screen in the conference room and show some pics and videos and web pages for a Heavy Lift Crane presentation... meeting broke up and groups went to other promo areas... some of the geeks mulled around looking at what i had set up and saw me answering emails and posting on a couple forums... then on break i started playing Grand Theft Auto with the Playstation 3 controller... that started a bunch of questions ... i answered what i could ... one dude says ... "damn... i wanna punch my iPhone right in the friggin face right now"

:p :cool: :good:
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmilar:
Thats awesome its definitely a handy cord to have.

I was wondering if you know should pretty much any mhl otg hub work with the Tab S? There is several listed on eBay with various prices. Are all of them made equal? or is it possible that certain ones wont work. Ill probably just order the one you linked because you have confirmed it does in fact work with the Tab S even though its not listed as a compatible device.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b00mb00mchuck:
Works... i used it just a couple hours ago to dump movie downloads onto my hard drive and clear up memory...

But now that you mention it... i haven't tried the MHL function to HDMI with the Tab S yet because i have chromecast now and I'll mostly stream from the hard drive right through to the chromecast.... i can test that tomorrow if you want a rock solid answer before you buy... i have a half day on the crane tomorrow so it would be after 12:00pm EST when i get home and try plugging it all in.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siralsmooth:
Any of the newer Samsung devices from the s2/note2 and up should have the dual functionality USB port. You can, with a good eye, and good lighting, look at the port and see the 2nd row of pins. If it has/supports mhl out, it will do simultaneous otg as well. This is exclusive to Samsung devices.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmilar:
Ya that would be great if you could thanks a lot i really appreciate it.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b00mb00mchuck:
There ya go bro... hooked up with MHL Hub to HDMI showing screen mirror of this thread... everything works like it should.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmilar:
Looks good man thanks a lot for that. Theres a few other ones on Amazon for cheaper that might work but I think ill just stick with this one even though ill pay a few extra bucks.:good:
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmilar:
Hey man I just received my adapter in the mail today but the HDMI out is not working do you have any mtips on how to get it to work? I connect my power source first and then connect my HDMI but still nothing works. I bought the one you mentioned but its a bit different from what you have pictured. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Edit*

Ok I finally got it working. I had to connect my device to it first before the power source or it wouldn't work. I know you mentioned this can be hard on the battery but its the only way I got it working.

I connect my power source after the HDMI out is up and running but my battery seems to still be draining fairly quick. Does that mean the outside power source is doing nothing? Am I doing harm to my tablets battery?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackerse7en:
hello, im thinking about buy one of these, my question is, does that white cable charge the device?

cause i want to charge the device while using this function, can anyone confirm this, and in case it doesnt charge, can we mod it :p to do it :)
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5024662:
Got a Moto G 2014 from WIND Mobile last week. Allowed updates to go through, finished at 4.4.4. Switched to ART assuming it would improve performance. It did not, and I had an issue where every time I boot up it would optimize every app. This made bootup take about 10 minutes. I decided to troubleshoot I would switch back to Dalvik. Began switch to Dalvik with 80% remaining battery. During the runtime switch, it booted up fine. I decided to power it off and then back on again and watch the bootup process as a test just to make sure everything was now fine.

Now, it doesn't respond when I try to power it on. No backlight, nothing on screen, no vibrate, nothing. Holding power and volume down does nothing. Holding power for 120 seconds (something I read online) does nothing.

I would appreciate any help I can get with this from anyone who has faced this issue.

Hold power and vol down to power up in bootloader mode and do a factory reset
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5024662:
Holding power and volume down does not respond either. I've tried holding both down for as long as 120 seconds and no luck.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieliop:
Oh, damn. Plugging the USB does something?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5024662:
Plugging into USB also has no response. It used to vibrate and display a battery status screen immediately after being plugged in. But now, I plug it in and nothing at all.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieliop:
That's really weird. Try to get it replaced, as it seems to be dead.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5024662:
Yeah that's my next step. Doesn't give me a lot of confidence in this phone. I think anyone planning on trying ART before the Android 5.0 update should beware. Make sure they've backed up their important data and are able to return their phone for replacement, because what triggered this bricking for me was switching back from ART to Dalvik. I made no changes to the bootloader, ROM, etc. This was completely stock.

Thanks for replying!
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrishnaSagar:
Re-Flash!

I believe you're gonna have to re-flash your device. Are you able to enter the boot loader? if yes, then re-flash the device with Stock firmware using ADB. Search the forums for instructions or reply and I'll post them myself. Do post your Device Model also.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5024662:
It's actually already completely stock. I made no changes to it, besides enabling developer options and changing the runtime to ART (and then back to Dalvik). Model number is XT1064.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrishnaSagar:
I know, but since it ain't booting up, you have to

re-flash

the stock firmware.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5024662:
Sorry about the confusion, that does make sense. By accessing the boot loader, are you referring to the menu you reach when you hold power and volume down as you power on the phone? If not, what do you mean by accessing the boot loader?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrishnaSagar:
Yep

Yes. Thats the boot loader menu.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5024662:
Okay. So I have no access to that at all. Power and volume down doesn't do anything. Windows seems to recognize it somehow, I hear the device-plugged-in sound, but the device manager doesn't seem to show it listed. I'm guessing I don't have any options left for fixing this, so I'm going to bring it back and see if I can get it replaced on the spot or begin an RMA process.

First connect your charger to phone and leave it for 2-3 hr may be your battery is dead. Same thing happen to a member of my whatsapp group now his phone is perfect
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5024662:
For anyone interested in some followup, I went to WIND to see if it could be replaced. They refused to replace it, because there were a few scuff marks around the edge from when I dropped it the night I got it. I went home and called Motorola tech support to look into an RMA. They had me go through the troubleshooting steps. This involved me plugging it back into the charger (now it's been unplugged from my charger all day because I brought it with me for returning). Looks like leaving it unplugged for a while to let the battery discharge did the trick. This time, when I plugged it into the charger, the white LED came on, and I got the white screen with the battery indicator. It was fine.

Here's hoping I don't run into that again.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluesky2111:
I posted many threads in QA section, but it seems like no one cares, and most of the threads in this section look dead... so I decided to move here, hopefully someone would help.

I don't know why but my Z3 always gets poor wifi connection. I put it with the Moto G side by side, using chrome browser and Google play to test... and the Moto G often connects much faster than the Z3 (WTH?) Sometimes the Z3 even lost connection and I had to tap "retry" to reconnect. I even tried to disable wifi, forget it, and uncheck the avoiding poor connection setting, but it's still the same, no hope @@
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Maybe you got a bad unit, also there was another thread with a lot more posts with someone having similar issues. As for me I have gone through 3 Z3s for cosmetic defects on my 4th and final now. None of them had the issue you describe, so you probably got a bad unit. It happens sometimes, even the HTC One X and Nexus 5 some units had issues due to lack of proper contact between pins on the housing and motherboard. Usually due to repeated pressure the z or v shape pins no longer spring back. But yours is out of the box that way it seems.

All you can do is get warranty, unless you are impatient in which case you can fix it yourself (if its the issue that I think it is), at the cost of voiding warranty.

Hey guys!

After searching and not finding anything on this forum I opened a new thread.

My OPO is great, but sometimes when I try to charge it, it randomly disconnects and then connects again.

It's really annoying, and I'm affraid it is a hardware problem...

When I change the position of the charger and phone, it works fine.

Also, when I use USB OTG, it connects fine, but when I try to open it, first it disconnects, but then works...

Anyone else with similar problems and possibly with solutions?

Thanks!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breytex:
Same problem here.

I settet up a sound for charge connect and disconnection.

Sometimes when the phone lies charging on the table, the sound pings like 8 times in the row showing 4 random disconnects.

Without touching the phone, it then continues to charge normaly.

Dont know what to do as a solution.

Any suggestions? dont have an other charger to test it, at the moment...
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chahalks:
The problem seems to be with the charger itself. When charging with a samsung charger, there is no problem. The two pin connector of the charger is not getting connected in the socket properly. If you hold the charger firmly in place, the phone charges normally. I think we need to change the charger...

That's sick. I was just thinking the other day what the hell I was going to do with my $400 AppRadio I haven't been able to use with either of my last two phones, the MotoX or the N6 . Great idea, throw a Chromecast in it. Idk how hard casting the screen is on the battery but it has to be better than MHL was, and none of that static nonsense either.

Thanks man.
[Nexus 6  General] sn0warmy:
Nice work OP!

I've been looking to do something similar in my '11 STI. I'd love to incorporate the Android experience into my car's dash. I previously looked at the App Radio but people were reporting the annoying delay in the touch screen. Then I started looking at the new Ca-Fi Dashlinq4 Android Car Stereo, which seems to be a perfect solution. But at $500+, I just can't justify it.

NASIOC thread on the Ca-Fi Dashlinq4 Android Car Stereo:

Alternatively, permanently installing the Nexus 7 still seems to be the best option. But it requires some custom modification, which I really don't want to do.

I've been looking into this for over a year now and I still can't figure out which direction to go.
[Nexus 6  General] GoogleAndroid:
I had an AppRadio 3. Hated it. To get app mode working was a huge pain, then I needed a parking brake bypass. It kept costing more and more. I ended up buying an AVIC and got rid of it. The AppRadio was so lacking in features for the price it was sickening.
[Nexus 6  General] vvveith:
Bluetooth anyone?

Have not listen to a radio in over six years, welcome to the age of hands free. And if you use bluetooth and Enhanced Caller ID from app store, it will read your mail and text to you and allow you to respond with your voice and read what you said back and ask you if it's okay to send. So uh, seems like your doing things the hard way. Plenty of great sounding receivers out there that will give you a hell of a sound that include bluetooth and have built in mics along with USB ports and HDMI so, get one that gives you great sound and power and a mount that goes in the radios CD slot and you are set to go with a touch screen a moment away and hands free everything else. There is also an assistant app you can get at the play store to do many commands that are phone related with just your voice. Personally, I get in my car, put the phone in its wireless charging dashboard mount, The NFC sticker on the mount turns bluetooth on/off for me automatically and stream to my hearts content. Easy and affordable. What cost me the most was good speakers and some power amps to push the sound through.
[Nexus 6  General] tsy87:
wow, sweet! I I have been looking into how I could get my appradio 2 up and running again since getting the nexus..

Looks like a chromecast is on my shortlist again! thanks!

BTW, would you mind posting your tasker setup/file?
[Nexus 6  General] rustid:
I will update the OP with my tasks, but I am using the app AutoInput in conjunction so it might not work for you directly. I will see if AutoInput will export as well.

I leave bluetooth on all the time because I have a lot of devices. I have not listened to the radio for 12 years, and I don't have any intention of starting. My previous phone had to plug in and I had a little dock made where I could hide my phone away. I am going to get a magnetic Qi mount I think now that I am completely wireless, I just mostly wanted to show people how it works with a chromecast in this video. I also use hands free and voice for everything.

I personally don't notice a huge touch delay. It is there I guess, but I don't notice it. I really like my setup, even more so now that it is wireless. I usually use voice commands for navigation, text, and music, so I never touch the screen to notice the slight lag anyhow. It all depends on how you use it though.

It was a little spendy, but 100% mirror on my phone makes it have every feature I could ever want. Putting my phone on the dash, I can't think of anything it doesn't do.

If it is plugged in it charges faster than it drains, haven't tried Qi yet, but will figure out how I will do it and get a cool magnetic dock. I cant kill the battery over a day anyhow so I don't even plug it in most of the time while I am driving.
[Nexus 6  General] Soupskin:
I'm using the Microsoft Miracast wireless display adapter on my AppRadio2. Works rather well. I had to edit the build.prop to enable Miracast though. Next up is a wireless charging mat to go 100% wireless on mine. Thanks for the tip on AutoInput, will be nice to fully automate the connection process.

Connecting Chromecast to a device with a touch screen allowed you to control your phone this way, or is that a feature of the device you used?
[Nexus 6  General] rustid:
If you turn off the screen then it wont cast. That is why I have brightness set to lowest when it runs. Still charges faster than drains, so I just set it upside down and forget about it.
[Nexus 6  General] tsy87:
I know, but there were apps for other phones that would cut the power to the screen but trick it into thinking it was still on... Granted they never worked perfectly, but that would be ideal if they did.
[Nexus 6  General] EvanVanVan:
Yeah it's the AppRadio, the Chromecast is just used for displaying the screen. The AppRadio sends the coordinates of the touches it detects to the phone via bluetooth.

I get two blocks from home before I get disconnected - my phone jumps on one of the Optimum hotspots and then I drive out of range and it disconnects. The only option I'm aware of is to 'forget' optimum hotspots, but I'm guessing I will lose the stored user id and password if I do that. This really should be much easier.
[Nexus 6  General] Zer0t3ch:
Battery saving on the phone

Seems a bit inefficient to simply turn down the brightness to save the phone's battery. Since I'm assuming you have root on your phone, have you considered tweaking part of your script (or whatever it is that automates that) to actually turn off the backlight? IIRC, the kernel has to support this, but I believe most do. I know it's definitely possible as I accidentally did it once in the Synapse app. (for kernel tweaking. Only supported by some kernels, but I believe I was running Hydra at the time)
