CableJive samDock Question - Galaxy S III Accessories

Hi,
Does anyone have this device? I would actually like to use it with my Nexus 7 on an Ipod capable car stereo but wanted to know if this utilizes the Galaxies MHL capabilities or if it is simply using usb audio?

RCA adapter for atrix?

Does anyone know of a working solution for a USB to RCA output on the atrix? I have AV inputs in my car and want to, mirror my phone onto my nav screen. Did a sear h and didn't find anything. DINC has a custom cable for this from HTC. THANKS!

You'd most likely need a digital to analog converter (like those boxes), and you'd need a bunch more since I doubt it has any video out besides the HDMI. Which doesn't do any sort of mirroring without hacks (unless I am not aware?)
That said, I don't think it is possible.
That's pretty much the answer all my searching has led me too as well. Samsung , HTC, and apple all support video out through USB or even audio jack.

Atrix has an hdmi port so there would be no need for video over usb. Analog audio can be transferred over, however.

[Q] ExTERNAL DAC FOR N7000

Hello!
Anybody with a JB 4.1.1 ROM got a running external dac on the n7000 ?
ie Fiio E7.
Thanks!
Does 4.1.1 provide digital audio output from note? If so, would it be possible to connect it to stereo system using usb cable? I have Denon micro system and it has usb plug so you can plug in iPhone or iPad and it sounded great when I tryed it. If same thing would be possible with my note I would love it.

I know that the I9300 and the N7100 have a digital unprocessed line-out that you can connect to various digital devices and they can be used as a DAC.
I just wonder, if this feature has any hardware limitations or it's just the JB ROM?
If you have the USB HOST cable you can try connecting it to your DENON.

I recieved my cable yesterday but cannot find how to use the n7000 as a host. The sound still comes out through the phone speaker and nothing through the DAC.
Audio revolution will record to the phone via usb. Usb audio tester recognises my headphone dac as burr brown, but not able to utilise for audio transfer from phone to dac yet.
My current rom is "Ultimate N7000 XXLSC JellyBean 4.1.2 v5.1"
Has anyone had success with any other rom or kernel ?
Damm I'd love it worked. I want a dac on m'y note , yamaha sucks.

Note N7000 to Denon AVR
I don't have a DAC but a Denon 1312 AVR with no USB. However, I connect the Note N7000 to the AVR via HDMI using the MHL Connector. Works great and gives near lossless audio when I play FLAC.

I have a fiio dac but can't use it with the note. There's no digital signal output to attach it to. Trust me. I've looked into it. I have to make do with using the headphone amp only, which is still a great improvement.
Sent from BOX13.
I have tried it with an OTG cable and my fiio E7 on jelly bean 4.2 (liquid smooth rom) but haven't had any succes yet. It is possible with the galaxy S3. And I think there should be a way to do it with the note too, since its able to transmit it trough HDMI.
There are some interesting threads on headfi about the matter.
Somebody should kickstart hdmi based DAC with built in power so we can skip mhl connection size can be as big as note as long is not thick... all n7000 / n7100 will rejoice
You here it first from here

Probably very, VERY LATE in the game. But I have a Note 1, N7000 version that I'm trying to revive purely as a DAP. I've read that only the SGH i717 model supports audio over USB (via OTG). Can anyone confirm? Is there a ROM that can be used for the N7000 version that will allow audio over USB? Thanks.

[Q] Note 8.0 MHL Audio problem

So I sold my Nexus 7, for the 8.0, for the MHL capability because I have the AppRadio2 and want to output the video onto the screen and audio to the car speakers. The only problem is that it doesn't seem like the 8.0 outputs audio through the mhl cable. I've tried multiple cables multiple external displays... The works. But can't seem to get audio to an external device. I've also tried an audio output app and that didn't work either. Any information is helpful. Thanks in advance guys
Wait...So are you getting video only, and no audio, or nothing at all???
Did you check the Android settings under "Accessories" for audio output options when docked or when other accessories are attached?
BTW, are you using the ARliberator App?
First of all, I don't think that the Note 8.0 is on Pioneer's list of approved/confirmed devices for use on the AppRadio2.
Also, the MHL/HDMI adapter that is sold in Pioneer's "Android Connection Kit" is the older 5-pin micro-USB connector.
You tried it with Samsung's newer 11-pin microUSB/MHL-to-HDMI adapter that is made for the SGS3 and Note2, right??? And you are plugging in the adapter to a microUSB charger, right? It will not work without this.
Pioneer's and Samsung's adapter for the SGS2 and original Note 5.3" will not work because it is the older 5-pin microUSB/MHL connector. You can buy the Samsung 5-pin to 11-pin MHL adapter for about $10 that should allow the older MHL/HDMI adapter to work:
http://www.amazon.com/Original-Samsung-Adapter-Converter-EPL-FU10BEBSTD/dp/B0083FYL0O/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1366945559&sr=1-6&keywords=samsung+5-pin+to+11-pin+mhl+adapter
I don't know why you'd want to use the smaller and lower Res AppRadio2's screen over the Note 8.0's anyway?!? I guess you lose AM/FM tuner and the Backup Camera if you have one.
You can bypass the AppRadio2 and just use your Tablet to get RCA line level preouts and Digital Optical (Toslink) audio from the Note 8.0 if you use the MHL adapter with this $40 device:
http://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Premium-Audio-Extractor-Converter/dp/B00AHS8LD8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366941077&sr=8-1&keywords=viewhd+hdmi+digital+audio
Oh, but I forgot to mention that you would need separate car audio amplifiers to power your speakers for this setup to work. :/
I just returned my AppRadio2 and am using my SGN2 with this adapter in my car audio system to get digital audio output sent from my Note 2 to the digital optical input of my RF 3Sixty.3 DSP, then to my amplifiers and then speakers.
I'm using my Note 2 because I wanted to use just one audio source/device, that also has cell phone capability. The AppRadio2's built-in Dialer/Phone app borked/hid my Note 2's Keypad when it forces the display into landscape mode. :/ I guess that I could have used Tasker to switch back to portrait when the dialer/phone app opened, but then it is tiny on the AppRadio2's display. The International GT-N7100 SGN2 also has a hardware FM Tuner, or I use TuneIn Radio to stream almost any AM/FM station worldwide.
My car also came with a handsfree Bluetooth setup that worked much better than the AppRadio2.
I'm also using the Samsung SGS2 SmartDock in combination with the USB JoyCon EXR plugged into the SmartDock to keep my OEM Steering Wheel Controls and add extra functions to my SWC by long-pressing the buttons, etc. You have to program the JoyCon EXR with your PC before installing it, but it works great to control your Android's audio player functions with your SWC.
If you do get it working, you'll probably want to use the "Screen Standby #root" app to turn off the Note 8.0's screen backlight without putting it to sleep so it charges up faster. You must be rooted to use this app, however.

I am using ARLiberator, and in terms of compatibility its not an issue considering I'm using the MHL and not the Pioneer "Android Kit". I think it is an issue with the device itself because I tried other cables and other displays and it just doesnt seem to be able to output audio through the MHL

So you ARE getting video out, just no audio?
Hmmm...weird. You are using the 11-pin MHL adapter though, right? The "Android Connection Kit" uses a "MHL" adapter, too, and it is actually better than the Samsung original, but it is 5-pin, and won't work with newer devices. So I just wanted to be sure you are using the 11-pin MHL adapter made for the Galaxy S3/4 and Note 2?
Also, maybe check that the audio output settings are set to "Stereo" (2 Channel), and not to "5.1 Surround"? IDK?
Have you done the new firmware updates on the Note 8.0 yet? There is a thread here about it.

This is probably a dumb question, but you have checked the volume level on the note once connected, right?
I just setup an HDMI connection on my unit and didn't get audio at first. Turns out that it doesn't send line level audio over HDMI. It creates a new mixer item that is muted by default on the note side.
Once I adjusted that, everything worked fine. Best of luck.

I couldnt figure it out, so after all was said and done, I just factory reset it, and now it works. Although it was kind of a pain, it turned out ok in the end
Bummer you had to resort to a factory reset, but glad it's working for you now! Rock on.

I'm not sure if this is a HDCP issue or a implementation issue but that's likely the way it is.
On my Galaxy S3, last time I tried it, I think you could have audio over Bluetooth or jack while doing HDMI/MHL video out. But it's been quite a while since I've had the cable. (It's perfectly fine on the SII X/Hercules as I had my fiancee try it before I got myself the wireless adapter.)
Under the Miracast (AllShare Cast) stuff, you are only able to direct audio through the dongle and thus need an adaptor that can split off the audio from the HDMI somehow, assuming those support the necessary HDCP crap.

[Q] USB Audio..

Hello guys!
I've just bought a Nexus 7 to integrate in my car dashboard. Actually I didnt had so much knowledge about it before I bought it, (I only wanted the best and I hate apple so) but I didnt thought it was junk. And that's the only thing I wanted, a non junk tablet that could play music and works as a navigator without hardware-buttons.
My old stupid Iphone 4s worked perfectly for playing and streaming sound from spotify trough a regular usb cable to my headunit, so I didnt even reflect that googles new flagship wouldnt be able to do this simple task. But it seems like it doesnt work..
I've searched for answeres but the only thing I can find is to buy a usb DAC that converts the digital audio to analog audio but then I lose the whole damn point. I want digital audio in to my headunit. And my stupid old Iphone do it great, why the **** can't google flagship do it? Feels like I have bought a extra thin rock from the stone-age.
Please tell me I'm wrong and this is possible somehow. Otherwise I gotta throw this stupid f***** sh*t tablet in the garbage as fast as ******* possibly..
Sorry for my rage.. I just feel so fooled.. I've just bought a 400$ angry birds game. :silly:
You have a couple of options:
1. Use headphone output jack from your Nexus. Hopefully your car audio headunit has an auxiliary input.
2. Bluetooth! This is what I use in my car. If your car audio headunit has bluetooth built-in, then you don't need any cables at all. Just pair your car audio to your Nexus and start playing music! If your car stereo does not have bluetooth, then you need to purchase a bluetooth car kit. These connect to an auxiliary input on your car stereo (just like #1 above). There are bluetooth kits that also stream through an FM modulator, but that should be used as a last resort as sound quality suffers materially.
I installed an Alpine bluetooth car kit and integrated it with my factory car stereo system in a 2005 Honda Accord. Since I did not get the factory CD Changer option, I had that one input open to use with the Alpine Bluetooth. I'd post a link to my YouTube video showing this, but I'm now allowed to post links yet since I'm new to this forum.
The two options listed above are the only ones I'm aware of. I'd love to hear from others if there are other options. The only drawback to both options is that you use the DAC built in the Nexus, you don't get to pass through to a better quality external DAC. The only way around that is a Slimport adapter which uses HDMI. I don't know of any car audio units that have HDMI inputs.
What you want is achievable. Nexus 7 2012 works best with Timur Kernel however Nexus 7 2013 with an AOSP build or stock with Elemental X kernel can have a USB DAC with an OTG Y cable that will simultaneously charge.
If you have Cyanogenmod you may need glitch kernel which does the same thing.
I have a HiFiMeDIY DAC and OTG Y cable (at home) but no reason I couldn't run the same thing in my car with a car charger.

I use a fiio e7 on USB and it works perfectly on cm or carbon, no extra apps or kernel required. By the way, otg works fine with Franco kernel on either Rom and hotswapping is supported. I have not yet found another rom that supports it, but I have been using just carbon for quite a while now.

Some car head decks support android USB then it would charge and do audio. Just make sure it's android compatible.
Good, then we shall fight in the shade!

Well i can tell u most of those android compatible r meant can be connect n read as a mass storage,but not as ios.
Unless someone can make a custom rom like the one for 2012 model.

When u guys saying otg works dor aosp or some kernel ,does that mean it works with an otg y cable aswell? Like reading files from flash n keep it charge while with flash drive on?
Sorry for the thread jack op.
U and i r on the same boat,i am doing a car mount too.
I am doing a 4g lte one.
I don't have a car, I have a scooter.
Problem fixed !
So it sounds like if I have the stock rom, with the elemental X, I can do USB audio? Do I need some kind of audio manager to specify where to send the output, or would the USB dac automatically disable the on-board headphone jack?
tried PAC rom 4.3 with elemental X 1.8
no go for the DAC audio.
sound is mute no matter what i do.

I bought the HifiMeDIY DAC and am using stock 4.4.2 w/ Elemental X Kernal. I don't get any sound out of the dac. What did you have to do to enable the USB sound instead of built-in speakers?
The Nexus 7 is way better than you described it.
You have lots of options for car audio, and they all have downsides, but just to name a few:
Bluetooth (if your car has a bluetooth receiver)
Auxiliary input (if your car has one)
Slimport (you'd need an hdmi-audio converter, but it would sound great)
Wi-Fi direct (not very common for cars, though)

Bluetooth (if your car has a bluetooth receiver) - I need the bluethooth to connect to other things, like an odb adapter and so on. Edit: The bluethooth connection doesnt always connect automatic whit the cars headunit either so that's another problem.
Auxiliary input (if your car has one) - The aux output aint that great, not good enough for my 3500$ audio system in my car.
Slimport (you'd need an hdmi-audio converter, but it would sound great) - Yes the problem is that I need to convert the audio to analoge. It needs a converter and it still doesnt give my headunit digital audio.
Wi-Fi direct (not very common for cars, though)- I use wifi to get my cars 4g connection to the Nexus 7
So in my case. This is just a really expensive angry birds game (Without sound)!

[Q] Which android tablet for car install?

Hi everybody. After seeing this thread, i decided to go for a tablet install, rather than a aftermarket nav. My car is a 2008 Peugeot 207. Here is another install i saw on a same model. But i will want to give up on the stock head unit.
I searched for Timur's ROM for Nexus 7 2012 and i noticed he also has a kernel for Nexus 7 2013, so i guess that should also work with a OTG y cable for charging and hub for inputs at the same time.
I would get these, from Kuchar09's list:
Joycon EXR Steering Wheel Control PC Interface
FiiO E10 USB DAC Headphone Amplifier
OTG Y Charge Cable
USB HUB
Amp wiring kit
Digital to Analog Audio Converter for use with SDR Touch
DVB-T Tuner
DVB-T Antenna
DC 2.1A USB charger
THE QUESTION IS: Which tablet should i go for? Nexus 7 2012? Nexus 7 2013? A newer tablet model? I like the samsung tablets, will one of those work? Any sugetions? What do you think?

Nexus 7 2013 seems the most popular, and my first recommendation.
Can be bought for $130-150 USD new and that's impossible to beat for quality and ROMability at that price point. Cheap enough IMO to lose it to theft or overheating without crying too hard.
If you only need charging while using USB OTG, the stock 6.0 Marshmallow works fine, while 5.1 did not.
Timur will not be supporting Marshmallow on N7 2013. You can consider his solution if you need the other features.
