[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synpax:
Within the latst few days, the screen on my Galaxy S5 (T-mobile version) has had the following issues:

- Screen not turning on when I click the power button.

- Part of screen flashes when I click power button before going off.

- When screen does come on, it's pulsing quickly and and colors are off -- like all green.

I haven't dropped it or anything. I bought it from Ebay in September (https://www.ebay.com/itm/361348692112).

It seems to do this whether battery is charged or not....
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synpax:
I have solved this. The brightness setting was the lowest and it seemed to have a problem on this setting.

[Essential Phone Accessories] goducks3620:
this is a good idea but look around on some of these other threads. Anyway I bought this usb-c to 3.5mm cord (to plug into a car stereo port) and yes it works https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076BKRX1N/
[Essential Phone Accessories] thelangosta:

Samsung HDMI Adapter

The Samsung HDMI Adapter, USB Type-C to HDMI, works perfectly with my Essential PH-1
[Essential Phone Accessories] gk1984:
Care to elaborate why all other Choetech hdmi products won't/don't work? "Confirmed by email" is not very helpful.
[Essential Phone Accessories] tduffy83:
The travel inspira hubs listed do not work for HDMI out, at least not with Oreo beta 2.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Maxr1998:
I emailed them asking why the adapters I bought weren't working on my Essential, and they told me that the phone isn't supported and they also don't have any adapters that support the device. I don't know why though, they didn't/couldn't give me an explanation. The email is in a pretty bad German, so you probably won't understand it, but I'll attach it anyway for reference. Sorry for the vagueness, should have made that clear at the beginning.

That kinda sucks, I just ordered one as a replacement for my Choetech one... Will report back tomorrow when I receive it.

EDIT: Works perfectly fine for me, Oreo beta 2.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Boal:
I have another Samsung adapter that works fine, too. So, Samsung seems to be a safe bet.
[Essential Phone Accessories] gk1984:
I just got one and it's not working. Not sure if it's because I'm on the beta or magisk is breaking it or what.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Boal:
I have this one, which one do you have?
[Essential Phone Accessories] Maxr1998:
Just received the travel inspira one, works perfectly fine for me, including charging and audio, on Oreo beta 2. Updated the OP.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Maxr1998:
Added to OP, thanks a lot :)
[Essential Phone Accessories] gk1984:
I got this one, but based off of another user indicating it woks, but that was on 7.1, not 8.0. I recently saw in another (or this) thread someone bought another adapter that someone said worked, but wasn't working for them on the beta. Makes me wonder if it's broken on the beta...
[Essential Phone Accessories] Boal:
Mine definitely works with the beta, too.
[Essential Phone Accessories] TheDethEgineer:
The LeEco usb c earphones also works
[Essential Phone Accessories] tduffy83:
I think I determined why this may not be working for some, your TV or monitor. The travel inspira hub will not work on any of my samsung TV's, in the MHL port or otherwise.

However, it does work on my Samsung S27E330 monitor. This leads me to believe that the TVs do not have the most recent version of MHL, and thus will not work. This is kind of a bummer because I intended to use this on my TV in the living room, but at least I can confirm the device does work with Beta 2. I have not returned the legacy adapter, so I will test using that as well and report back.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Maxr1998:
Interesting observation. I tested the adapter successfully on the HDMI 1/MHL port (didn't check the other ones) of our Samsung Smart TV from the C series, which is from 2010 I believe..

But I also think the issues that some people mentioned with normally working adapters are issues with the display device itself.

Samsung HDMI Adapter (EE-HG950)

Samsung EE-HG950 works with my phone (Nougat, Dec 5 '17 update.) Can you verify you're using the same adapter & that it fails on Oreo?

[Essential Phone Accessories] gk1984:
Yeah, that's one I have. It doesn't do anything on 3 of my TVs or 1 pc monitor on Oreo beta 2.
[Essential Phone Accessories] seabro01:
The Razer Phone dongle works. Sounds better than the one we get from Essential.
[Essential Phone Accessories] thelangosta:
Did you buy one from Razer? I looked but couldn't find it seperate from the phone.
[Essential Phone Accessories] seabro01:
I bought one from Amazon for $20.
[Essential Phone Accessories] chiadrum:
Wish I knew this. I bought the adapter from LIOO based on strong Amazon reviews. It works fine but Essentials clearly sounds better and louder. I'm running 7.1.1 rooted FYI.

Is the Razer adapter louder than Essentials or just better quality? I'm a drummer, I need volume :)
[Essential Phone Accessories] ~El Julio~:
Sorry for playing Captain Obvious' role here but there are now a couple more compatible ones since Essential updated their website recently with an accessories section added & they now sell standard & "HD audio" USB-C Google Assistant enabled earpieces.

https://www.essential.com/accessories (Charger - still no Dock yet..- & USB-C to 3.5mm jack adapter are available separately too)
[Essential Phone Accessories] seabro01:
It's a bit louder but I've mainly noticed clearer overall sound quality with wider soundstage and more pronounced bass.
[Essential Phone Accessories] chiadrum:
Good to know thanks. Are you using an audio enhancement app on your phone by any chance? I have heard good things about the Onkyo HD Player, but there is no trial and it's 8.99
[Essential Phone Accessories] seabro01:
I usually use Viper4Android but it seems to think USC C audio is the speaker. Now I'm just using the Snapdragon equalizer.
[Essential Phone Accessories] TimboC2000:
It's not cheap for an Android app, but I've got to say I really like it. The UI is quite well polished. It will also do all kinds of crazy bit conversions for those with expensive external DACs.

It makes a HUGE difference on the Essential DAC, but any of the several programs that bypass the native Android USB DAC driver will provide the same benefit.

Type-C to HDMI and Type-C to VGA adapters

Tonight I was able to verify these two adapters worked with Oreo Beta 3:

CableCreation Gold USB 3.1 Type C (USB-C) to HDMI Adapter (DP Alt Mode) for Apple The New Macbook/ Chromebook Pixel/Dell XPS 13/Yoga 900/Asus Zen AIO

[Essential Phone Accessories] retiredtrebor:
Sorry if this isn't the correct thread for this post.

I purchased an Essential phone last week. The only USB C cable that I had to fit was the one that came with it, C to C. My PC does not have any female C USB ports. So I thought I would be smart and purchase an adapter for USB Micro to C. Works OK for charging. Then I tried to transfer music files from PC to the phone. Plugged in the A to Micro cable, put the adapter on the end and then plugged it into the phone. I kept getting the Windows connected/disconnected audible notification, file manager would open then close. I broke down and purchased a USB A to C cable and have had no problems since. Moral of the story, the adapters will probably work for charging, but may not work for data transfers, ADB, Fastboot, etc.
[Essential Phone Accessories] seabro01:
The included cable isn't spec compliant for data transfer. Essential has admitted their cable is only safe for charging.
[Essential Phone Accessories] Zargone:
USB-C to USB A ??

So... does anyone have a good recommendation for a USB C to type A cable that supports both Rapid Charging and GREAT data stability for flashing ROMs etc?

Thanks!

A few tested accessories

XDA does let me post my list with the links so here is the text of my reviews and the links are not active but they are real ones.

After some trial (and for some, errors!) here is a list of USB-C accessories that work with my PH1:

HDMI adapter:

As found on this thread (I think), this powered HDMI adapter works: amazon.com/gp/product/B072JC7RBB

HOWEVER: there is no support for the USB port (OTG) so you will be able to connect the USB-C connector to power your phone, an HDMI cable to view the phone screen on your TV/PC display, but whatever you connect on the USB port it will not do anything: USB key, keyboard, mouse, etc.

Not USB-C but here are (they are probably hundreds working too, but I know the Microsoft ARC Bluetooth mouse does NOT work) a bluetooth mouse and keyboard that work fine so allowing you transform your Essential phone into a computer of some sort:

Mouse: amazon.com/gp/product/B0748D7S2Y

Keyboard: amazon.com/gp/product/B00T7GDZXM

Audio 3.5mm adapters

This was tough to find one that worked. In the end I think it boils down to:

- It needs to say it has a DAC

- Those cost on Amazon around $15-20, none of the <$10 ones work!

One that I found worked: amazon.com/gp/product/B078BGDNPR

All of these do NOT work:

amazon.com/gp/product/B077D245RD

amazon.com/gp/product/B077FJKZMM

amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0ZYNV8

amazon.com/gp/product/B07792PHWC

Other accessories (not USB-C)

A few other handy accessories:

- Case for the 360 camera: a bit too large but I could not find anything smaller in all Amazon, also from another reply on this thread: amazon.com/gp/product/B06ZZV2NP9

- I totally freaked out the first time I took picture over the Ballard Locks (Seattle), with such a slippery phone, so I bought two things:

=> An strap case (comes in two layers but each layer, one with one without card holder, can be used alone): amazon.com/gp/product/B06XR84KLX (note: by moving a bit the strap you can fit the 360 camera)

=> A wrist strap that I attached to these: amazon.com/gp/product/B005F1IAAQ

Finally, as it's a ceramic phone and it REALLY looks good I decided not to use any case. But as it's REALLY slippery, I added these on the sides of the phone to have a better handle on the phone without damaging the esthetic: amazon.com/gp/product/B00MYI9674

Hi, i have the Stock USB-C to 3.5 Audio. I use the Bose True Sound Ultra In Ear. The sound works, but with the remote only the Volume buttons works okey. The next Track Pause/Play buttons doesnt wann to react. Any suggestions? Is this normal? My Bose In Ear are Android remote compatible. With every other Android Phone the worked.

Microsoft HD-500 and GeChic 1502i touchscreen

I originally posted this in another thread but want to add the Microsoft HD-500 Dock to the list...

I hooked up a Microsoft HD-500 to my PH-1 running 7.1.1. HDMI out to a small PC monitor works fine. I plugged a USB mouse in and got a working pointer. Installed the Sentio app and adjusted my resolution. The phone charged via the HD-500. So now I have an Android desktop.

I also plugged a GeChic 1502i touchscreen into the HD-500. I was able to control the PH-1 (I only did simple gestures, I don't have any fancy apps that need 10 fingers). I also now have a 15" Android tablet.

===========================================================

Update 9/30/18: I'm on Android Pie and the HDMI no longer works on the Microsoft dock. I just got the Plugable USB-C dock with USB-PD ( www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078J7FSWM ) and HDMI does work under Pie.

Hardly a surprise, but...

Whilst in Hong Kong last week I tested about 4 of the USB-C headphone adapters with my PH-1. These were all dirt-cheap, costing in the US$3-6 range.

Not a single one worked.
[Essential Phone Accessories] gk1984:
The adapter needs a DAC built in to work.
[Essential Phone Accessories] mikeymop:
My Dell C-HDMI adapter works, it uses DP protocol. I dont know if I should be concerned, but when using this adapter the phone says 'supplying power' instead of 'drawing power' (from the TV).

http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/accessories/apd/470-abmz?ref=p13n_ena_pdp_vv&c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd

I also tried the Dell WD15 dock, was eager about this one. USBs work, but not HDMI out unfortunately.

Anyone have luck with mouse/kb/display on the Dex dock?

EDIT:

DERP! My WD15 is using DVI-D, I'll have to test with an HDMI cable when I can get my hands on one.
[Essential Phone Accessories] gk1984:
OP shows this works in Android 7.1 but not Android 8.x beta. I still can't get it to work on the official 8.1 release, but in contacting Essential support, they confirmed it does in fact work and showed photos proving it. Perhaps OP can be updated that this works, but perhaps "your mileage my vary" -- I may have a defective one or perhaps an incompatible HDMI cable. I'm still investigating.

I tried the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter. HDMI and USB worked great, the charging was very slow even with the stock charger. Did not test long enough so not sure if it will charge the phone or not.
[Essential Phone Accessories] docna:
Yup. Got one of these today and it works fine.

If you're in the US and looking for one, you can save a few dollars by buying from Verizon who (unlike Google) have free shipping.

Compared to the Essential one I'd say it's not as good - sounds seems a little lower quality, the connector to the phone doesn't seem to lock in as well (although it holds on fine, it just seems a little looser), plus it's white which doesn't look as clean as the Essential black one.

A "Working but not working" post...… 8-)

Essential WILL work nicely with the Microsoft HD-500 USB-C hub, HDMI output, USB drive, keyboard, mouse etc...….If you downgrade to Android Nougat.

Essential WILL NOT output USB-C to HDMI through the hub although USB drive, keyboard, mouse etc does work if you are running Oreo and, according to some emails from support from Essential this is also broken in P.

The StarTech.com USB to HDMI adapter (model CDP2HD4K60) works on an Essential running vanilla Oreo.

1. The HDMI out worked but playback was dark and janky — it would speed up and slow down.

2. Wouldn't recognize my Samsung T5 ext SSD

3. Wouldn't recognize a PNY 512gb glad drive.

4. It needed an unnecessarily high power adapter to power my external HDD. My old 512gb Hitachi ext HDD wouldn't power on when this hub was plugged in my LG power brick, however that same power brick would power the HDD when not connected to this hub.

Sad cause it is powered and has every port you would need.

Prolific PL2303

I just bought the ADATA USB-C adapter. USB-C male to USB-A type 3.0 female. Package says USB-A type 3.1, but I thought type 3.1 was only USB-C? Whatever, it works. Gives me a "normal" USB port.

Got this for USB-serial adapter. I have StarTech ICUSB232V2 which uses the Prolific PL2303RA chipset. I searched and found Prolific themselves wrote a device driver for Android. Go to the Google Play Store, search for "Prolific PL2303 USB UART". That will give you the official device driver. However, I didn't even need that. I installed from the Play Store "Serial USB Terminal". This is a complete app that provides a terminal to communicate via serial port, and it has Prolific device drivers built-in. When I plugged in the USB-serial adapter, the Terminal app auto-launched. A pop-up asked if I want to auto-launch this app every time I plug in a USB-serial adapter, I checked the box so it does.

I use this to log onto the console port of server rack equipment that I install for work. This allows me to use my smartphone instead of a laptop.

Please add these to the list of working/tested equipment.

My tool bag is now 23 pounds, of which 9 pounds is my laptop and power adapter. It would really help if I could leave my laptop at home. An employer requires me to log onto their website and provide hourly updates, their website requires Firefox. I have already installed Firefox on my Essential PH-1. I have multiple long documents for work that are frequently updated, PH-1 has a PDF reader built-in. I also installed Kindle and LibreOffice viewer, but found the built-in PDF reader works best. The last thing I need a laptop for is to log into high speed modem with built-in router and Wifi. For security, Wifi has firewall enabled, and lots of security. I have to connect an ethernet cable to port 1 in order to log onto the console.

I have tried a couple USB-ethernet adapters, but neither worked. Specifically: StarTech USB31000S, and IOGear USB 3.0 GigaLinq GUC3100. Both use USB 3.0 Type-A. In both cases, the only option was "Supply power". I connected an ethernet cable from the adapter to my laptop, but no lights illuminated on the network port, neither my laptop port nor the USB-ethernet adapter.

Is there something else I have to do in order to get an ethernet dongle to work?
