Has anyone gotten one to work I bought 2 from Amazon and none seem to work. Maybe I thought wrong but thought HTC 10 has displayport output.

I tried one at work last week, worked fine. Not sure what kind i got, but was not a problem.
OK thanks... I'll probably go to Best Buy and see if I can test one out there. Hope I don't have a bad port

I've tried 2. One worked, one didn't. Both were designed for macbooks, so ymmv.
I will try this out when I get the chance.
Tried one at the Computex last WE, for MacBook. Didn't work.
And after I tried the HTC10 and put it back to the MacBook it didn't work at all anymore.

damn thats not good news. still haven't had the time to head to local bestbuy. Hoping someone got one to work and point to an amazon link really miss having to show movies (for my kids) on the screen. Still have my MHL adpater for htc m9.
Adapter needs to use display port protocol, not mhl. Some adapters (USBC to HDMI) will use mhl internally and won't work (to my knowledge). See USB-C thread in 'Real Life'? section.

Yes I know can't use MHL for HTC 10.. Just saying I miss that feature. And almost nagging at me still is the MHL cable. starring at me saying why did you get of the M9 [emoji14] you could be watching videos on the 70inch right now.

Buy your nagging mhl cable a baby sister; a USB-C to HDMI port adapter / hub. It uses display port protocol and supports 4k. Adapter also includes USB 3.0 host port (so OTG) and 2nd USB-C port (for charger connection, I think optional, but I always use). Charge phone and watch at same time. See referenced thread for source. Win-win but approx $30. Need standard HDMI cable. Works well for me.

I ran into the same problem the mac pro adapter, it would charge or display not both. I went this route Microsoft - Wireless Display Adapter V2 receiver - Dark-Titanium and use HTC connect. It works great.

Just curious... you've had no problem charging this way? I wasn't sure if the 10 could take a regular USB-C charger or if it needed a QC compatible charger.
Partial answer. The HTC-10 does not need QC2 charger, just might charge slower or at various rates supplied by charger. I use several different chargers I had for my micro USB phones. Both using micro-USBC adapters, and USB-C cable direct. What I haven't tried (per your question), is fully charging via the mentioned display adapter. I doubt that the will recognize it as QC2. I will try this with the HTC supplied charger.

No Audio out via HDMI on this product. There is audio just does not work on my monitor via HDMI but works fine on TVs.
Video Output was 1080p @60fps
Sorry for the bad video; as it was taken with my Nexus 7.

Thanks for this, will be ordering one myself now.
edit: no audio out on this device, well then that sucks. Not good for watching video, yah I know I probably can use headphone jack for that but should work that way in my opinion. guess I'll still be on the hunt for a simple HDMI and audio output like the good old MHL adapter.

Is this available anywhere else? I was hoping to find this or a similar device on Amazon or something but nothing else has been confirmed to be compatible. Is your experience with this device still a positive one??
Also, I am assuming that if you want to supply charging power to this device you need to use a non-QuickCharge charger as supplying greater than 5V to the electronics in this device would be bad...? What about still using legacy USB-A to USB-C cables (like the one that came with the HTC 10) with the 56K Ohm resister?

I use mine all the time at work for about 3-7 hours a night (5 nights a week) - have it plugged into spare monitor to watch youtube etc.
I using the default charger that came with the HTC 10 and only gets slightly warm (charger & adaptor) when I been playing games for a hour or two.
Been thinking about purchasing another one as a backup.
Are there currently any adapters that allow charging while also using a 3.5mm jack?
The Google store has this, but nobody can give me any information on what "Coming Soon" means.
Any ideas?
Moshi has them available for purchase now, but only on their web site and not through google.
Hopefully that means google will have them soon, I really want one to leave in my car but i dont know if i can justify the 45$ price tag.

I was researching for such a solution. In the XDA U11 forum, I saw this and ordered it, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0R1F1M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. You plug the provided 3.5mm adapter into it. It would be a bad portable solution, but might be good enough for a desk. I will report back on whether it works for the Pixel 2.

Yes please report back. As I understand those adapters need to have a DAC builtin, but if you are using oem dongle then perhaps it can communicate to phone through this adapter

I dont know if you looked at the product, but what he is doing is using the included USB-C to 3.5mm adapter that came with the phone, so that DAC would be there.
Spoke with manufacturer, they said it will work 100%
But I already gave away my P2, I decided to keep P1 for now until 8.1 release at least. I was excited about camera but I prefer P1 images they look better to my eyes

It works completely! I tested a bunch of scenarios and am very happy. Only drawbacks so far are the thing is about half the size of the phone and the pigtail is about four inches.
Here is what works:
Rapid charging with a USB-C charger
Playing back music through the supplied USB-C audio adapter with and without charging attached
USB cable to an iPad (at least it connected and was recognized but I could not access pictures; I had the same issue with the data transfer adapter so I don't think this hub is at fault)
USB cable to a Canon camera
USB memory card reader
It would not read my micro SD card in the hub's slot initially but I got it to work.
Notes:
I did not test using the headset adapter with a wired microphone. I don't know if that is supported and don't have one.
You don't have to change the USB settings to get it to work. It just worked automatically.
The charging port is the one closest to the pigtail. The other port doesn't work for that purpose. The white lettering on silver case is hard to read so it is easy to miss which port is required for charging.
I didn't test it with HDMI because I cannot get the phone to work with the HDMI cable I purchased even when directly connected.
Here is the link again: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0R1F1M/
*edit: got the card reader to work.
Hopefully we'll have a portables position under $45!
In the meantime I bought a Bluetooth receiver so in the car I can charge and use BT for audio to the car.
You could also buy a Bluetooth receiver and plug your earhones in it.

So the 4 inch pigtail goes into the phone, the PD charging port is connected to your Pixel wall charger, and the 3.5 USB c adapter connects to the data only USB C port?
Did you try to connect a keyboard, mouse, or USB Ethernet adapter to the USB A side? I am curious if those device work on the Pixel 2.
Thanks for your info.

Correct; that is how I connected it. I tried an AnyKey security key that presents a USB keyboard interface and that worked as a keyboard. I don't have a mouse or ethernet adapter to try. I did also try a USB memory card adapter and that worked too.
I'm using this one, which is the same as the one above but cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075FHLTNM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It will charge the phone rapidly, play audio through the headphone dongle, read a micro SD card, read USB keys through the USB A ports, all at the same time, not bad for $14.
Moshi speaks!
FYI, this is response I got from Moshi rep, regarding the charge/play adapter.
While we do not know when exactly it will be available in Google's store, the same product is already available in our own web store - https://www.moshi.com/usb-c-digital-audio-adapter-with-charging
We are aware of that some users have been experiencing issues with this adapter, and we are already working together with Google on a solution for this. With that said, it appears that this only affects certain Pixel devices, as a clear majority of users (including our own product team and Google) haven't had any issues when testing multiple adapters on the Pixel devices in our office.
Although our team does not have a solution for the reported issues at this time, they are currently working with different software updates to see if this may resolve the issue. We are therefore not working on any hardware upgrades at the moment.
Hope this information helps.

Same here. I would love to find anything that will let me listen to my music with my wired headphones and charge my pixel 2xl at the same time. Google created this situation for us when they removed the jack. You would think they would at least have one solution. So if you could send me a new link or post it here, that'd be great!
Anyone know of a USB-C splitter that would allow me to charge and use a DAC simultaneously? I'm aware of the Moshi accessory but I'm not confident used a high quality DAC and I'd prefer to use my own. Something like this, but terminating in a USB-C M+F or F+F would be perfect, although I feel like it would violate type-C's spec.

The one in the link shown there (https://www.amazon.de/dp/B01N7TF8JV/ref=twister_B076B1S225?_encoding=UTF8&th=1) should do the job but it's quite large and pricey and has too many ports imo. Just two female USB c ports in a compact adapter would be fine.
Actually this simple idea (male USB c to dual female USB c) could have so many useful use cases.
- charging the phone and listen to music on 3.5mm headphones using the dongle in the box.
- charging the phone and listen to USB c headphones
- charge the phone and attach stuff like mice, keyboards, flash drives, or multiple at once
- charge the phone and chain-charge a second phone by USB pd
- charge two other phones
- attach two chargers to the phone (could be dangerous tho)
Etc...
I just found exactly what we're looking for! http://www.cusby.com/
The downside, they had an indigogo campain in 2015 and they've been silent ever since...
I submitted the idea to Belkin as they already have a lightning-equivalent (http://www.belkin.com/us/F8J198/p/P-F8J198/). Hopefully their team will like the idea and produce it.

I found an other hub that is quite large but a lot cheaper https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Adapter-Type-C-MacBook-ChromeBook/dp/B01MZ6B2AF

Yup it works! And it's not that bulky actually. However, it is a bit hard to get and it takes some getting used to (USB c is not everything yet).

Like you I was searching for weeks as well, but I couldn't find anything close to this... I even sent an email to Belkin to request them to make a USB c splitter like they have for lighting and they'd send it to their "ideas team" but of course I haven't heard anything from it since
Hi everyone, I'm searching for a ligh weight hub to connect audio + data. Anyone has tryed the splitter shown in the first post?
I want to play videos, etc, from a external memory in the phone and connect USB-C headphones with external DAC at the same time. I've seen some USB-C hubs but they are big and expensive with a lot of ports, so I'm thinking on a USB 3.0 splitter and a USB 3 to USB-C adapter for headphones
I don't need charging support, but not sure if a hub without power will work??? Because it has to feed headphoned DAC and memory stick.
thanks

What do you think guys? I'm waiting it. Then i will report back
So I took a risk and bought this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZWKHG6O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's a little pricey but it works amazingly! It allows you to plug in multiple usb interfaces, allows for rapid charging while using headphones, and Ethernet with your phone if you are into that. The only ports I found that don't work with the Pixel 2 XL are the sd card ports and the hdmi (obviously). Everything else works correctly.
Only issue:
When you plug the device in the phone will tell you headphones are plugged in even if there not; the device is probably contacting with the dac on the hub. So you can't use the phones speakers while the hub is plugged in.
Other than that it works great!
I myself use this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01L8GCFNO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_79jbBb7N074HH
It's cheaper, hard to get, but it works okay!
I also got the aukey one and it works great. Hard to find now.
That's some insane connectivity there !
Nice !
Come to think of it, was that ethernet connectivity also possible with the microUSB 2.0 ports ?

Just plug in the adapter from Google you got in the box. That's how I do it. Plus this also works if you have USB c headphones.

Hi
I just bought a Pixel 2 XL off Facebook and am new to it.
1 - Does any adapter work for USB C to USB A Male if I want to transfer to computer? I have an older laptop about 12 years old.
2 - Does any USB C to headphone jack work? I saw some off Ebay but not sure if they work with any device.
3 - What is a good casting app? I have an LG Smart TV and would like to cast to it when I want to watch movies. I had a S3 and the video player app that came with it used to cast automatically and it would let me put subtitle srt files to it. I'd like something similar. I DL VLC player but not sure if that works with LG.

2 - Does any USB C to headphone jack work? I saw some off Ebay but not sure if they work with any device.
3 - What is a good casting app? I have an LG Smart TV and would like to cast to it when I want to watch movies. I had a S3 and the video player app that came with it used to cast automatically and it would let me put subtitle srt files to it. I'd like something similar. I DL VLC player but not sure if that works with LG.

Hi,
I should be able to answer two of your questions...
1 - Phone comes with two USB cords.
1 x USB-C to USB-C for the OEM charger
1 x USB-C to USB-A (for 12 years old PC. )
Otherwise, here is a list USB-A to USB-C tested and reviewed by a google employee a few years ago:

2 - Not sure...
3 - Unfortunately, Google removed casting abilities from its devices. You have to pair it with:
https://store.google.com/us/product/chromecast?hl=en-US
Or

Cheers...
Sébastien.

The adapter I got for the USB C to USB A is only USB A is female and it can apparently only be used for OTG
Thanks
1. If you have an extra USB-A to MicroUSB cable laying around, they make adapters (readily available on Amazon) for the MicroUSB end to convert it to USB-C. I know as I regularly use one in the car and have a second one for any computer lacking a USB-C port, like an older laptop. @5.1's listing of cables may be correct in his home country, but not here in the USA. In the USA unlocked models came with just the USB-C to USB-C cable, the OTG adapter, the audio adapter, the SIM eject tool, and the charger.
2. Any third-party dongle with a USB-C end should work. If you purchased the MicroUSB to USB-C adapters I mentioned even an older dongle should work. The one included in the box is somewhat fragile from what I recall, so getting a third party dongle might be a better alternative even if you did get one.
3. I can't really help you when it comes to casting apps, as I don't use one. VLC however I think should work with your LG.
Hello,
Thanks @Strephon Alkhalikoi . I didn't know that... :good:

The USB C to 3.5mm dongle has a DAC in it so you need one that supports the Pixel (my wife has a Huawei and the DAC is in the phone, not the dongle, so the Huawei dongle doesn't work on my 2xl, and the Google dongle doesn't work on her P20 Pro)

Thanks for the reply...
I am currently on Ebay. Unfortunately the phone I bought second hand did not come with a USB C headphone jack.

Do you by any chance know where I would buy one? Any third party options?
