No, it does not give any notification if nothing is attached to the cable.

no notification on mine..

I always get a {usb connector connected} when i plug mine in.. it might be busted ..

He's talking about when nothing is connected to the adapter. I does not give a notification as it shouldn't. Just like if you connect a usb cable to a computer with nothing attached.

And I am saying I always DO get a notification when i plug in my otg connector . even with no device connected . ..

My OTG cable (monoprice brand) gives a "USB Connector Connected" notification when you attach it with nothing connected.
It also works fine.

So, like if I get no notification? Is it working properly?

[Q] Looking for Micro USB charger pinout

I decided to build my own dock today and wired up a micro USB plug to the official specs.

All I get is car mode but no charging.
Can anyone help on this?
Tried wiring the 5th pin to GND and Vcc but no deal
I need that pinout, too ^^
Don't know if you already know it, else for others searching for this: it seems that for some phones, it's neccesary to short the D+ and D- lines to activate charging without a computer.

What do you mean by shorting? Connect D+ and D- directly or do you have to connect them to GND?
connecting D+ and D- (not to ground) activate DC charging mode.
when standard wired it should work in USB charging mode.
DC mode is not good for a PC USB port which can only handle 500mA max so, be aware, your phone can suck up to 700mA and fry your port !

Is there a dock that has usb ports? (Not looking for power block or actual dock)

Hey guys I'm currently looking for a gadget where you basically plug the dock to the wall socket.
But instead of the dock being a pin connecter like for example this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The dock has multiple USB plug-in (2 would be nice if not one is fine) So I can charge more than one usb rechargable device such as an iPod and the phone while using them.
Is there such device?
Thanks guys
EDIT: If there is none, I'm thinking of buying a portable battery charger. If anyone has recommendations of good ones that is durable and does the job please feel free to share.
something like this?

No, I'm looking for a thing where that USB part of the charger is a wire and leads to a "dock" where I can place on my desk but has 2 or one USB port.

Simultaneous otg and hdtv adaptor

Forget about my other topic It made no sense.
If you had a cable with a micro usb connector at one end and two micro usb plugs at the other that is how you would get a hdtv adaptor and usb to work simultaneously.
There are none of these anywhere and nobody has built one so someone with skills in electronics they could make one.
Seems simple to me.
Maybe Samsung will come up with an adaptor like this.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Why?
It seems plausible to me as the two micro usb plugs would join to the connector going into your phone, the hdtv adaptor would still have a charge as you would be charging it through the adaptor and the otg cable would connect up to the other micro usb plug.

READ THE OTHER THREADS. so a search for MHL+OTG.
I didn't say that MHL+OTG would not work, i said his way of doing won't work, as is outlined in the other threads.
there are MANY threads where the exact same idea comes up, and in the end: nope the hardware each of you want to use doesn't do what you are assuming it does.

[Q] Must wrap cord in order to charge

Hi folks,
Been having this problem for a little while now and decided I'm fed up with it. My Verizon GN will only charge if I wrap the cord around it as such:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have tried multiple cords and the problem always persists. Any suggestions on now to go about getting this fixed?
Thanks!
Since you have tried multiple cables.. It could be the wall piece of the charger not having a good connection around the USB, try a new one of those.
LOL....
sorry didnt mean to laugh.
1) the power cube/brick(where the USB attaches) might be faulty
2) the charge slot on the phone might be faulty
3) all of the above

How do I go about fixing this?
Appreciate the input!
It may the electronic where its charging. I recently moved out of an area where the power was bad and suffered a similar issue to a new area and now my phone has had issues
It sounds like probably the USB port on your phone is bad. Wrapping the cord around the phone must hold the plug in just the right position it needs to be in to connect correctly.

in non touchwiz i get charge only and no audio... in setting the audio via usb option stay grey...
I have the same cable (in white), trying to connect the phones output to ford(sony) input.
I use sotmax rom (v14 / 4.3) but for the life of me cannot get it to work.
No charge and no Audio output!!!
I assumed it would act as being docked to get the USB out sound.
The micro USB connector looked as if it did not got in far enougth so h ave removed some of the plastic asround the plug so I know its in deep enough.
I've tried in Settings/General/Acessory/.Audio Output Mode ticked and unticked/
Has anyone had any success connecting USB out?
