Samsung Dock questions

Can I use any HDMI cable with the dock? or do I need the Samsung one in particular?
When using tv out from the dock will mediahub movies look good on the tv or are they low resolution?
Is blockbuster any better or will they be the same resolution?
thanks!!

Any hdmi v1,3 cable will work, as long its
hdmi mini on one side and standard hdmi on the other. (hdmi A to hdmi C)

I don't think this will work. For an adapter, what you need is a type C male to type a female. The adapter you link to here is type c female to type a male.
The port on the dock is a type c female. So, if you want to use a standard HDMI cable, which is type A male on each end, you would need an adapter with a type A female and a type c male.

Ken above is absolutely correct.
Just ensure the cable is a v1.3 type C Male to type A Female.

thank you all!

[Q] USB Host USB Adapter?

Would this adapter work with the NC?
Google: Nokia N800 USB 360 OTG Adapter (top result)
(sorry can't post links)
Thanks
Migrating from the N800 to the NC...

It doesn't need to be an 'otg' adapter, but that is likely what you will get. The kernel that supports usb host mode does not sense the id pin (the only thing that makes an otg cable what it is).

Ok Thanks.
Anyone seen a non-OTG adapter like this one?

Amazon lists a micro usb (male) to usb (female) adapter that works well. The only issue I have with it is that it is a 1 piece item about 1.3" long so I have to use the nook in landscape mode in order for the cables to clear my griffin stand. I would prefer a flexible cable with the same ends attached (found one through amazon but it is 20.00 US). The adapter I got was $3.50 with free shipping from amazon. See pics below

Well I think I have found what I have been looking for...
Has anyone had any experience with something like this:
Micro B to A 360degree adapter
Thanks

I ordered a mini to female usb accidently and am about to open the right one but does anyone know if i just buy a female usb to usb will it allow a micro usb cord to work?

Hey man what keyboard is that?

USB C to USB A cable

Don't forget about these things, unless you happen to have a USB C connector on your computer already. The 5X does not come with this cable; it only comes with a USB C to USB C cable. The 6P does, however.
$13 at Google Store
Various prices on Amazon

Amazon is the better choice. I am definitely buying the Apple adapter

I'm going to need to buy quite a few of these.

Excellent. Thanks :good:

Hi 0.0, I was looking at that same 4 pack earlier as well. Does anyone know if USB-C to USB-A cables (these specifically, or in general I guess) will allow for data transfer when connected to a PC or can they only be used for charging?
Edit: Nevermind, it says in the product description. Thanks, ordered a set.

yes.
in other news, i ordered these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W98IQ5M?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
mainly because i have a ton of regular cables, and also because soon the other ends are going to be type C. At that time, i will replace all my cables, but until then, these will do.

Not sure why, but it states in the description of those adapters that they are for Data Sync only, doesn't say anything about them working for charging. I hope that isn't the case, but just a heads up.

thats all i need to root it haha
probably not rated for the current for quick charging

how about a type C male to type C female? does that exist??

For what it's worth, OnePlus finally have their cables up for sale after forever promising them lol. Android Police gave it stellar reviews stating it was of the better cables available when they did their review on them. They only range from $5 to $7 but you do have to pay shipping, still probably much better quality than the generic ones selling on Amazon.
I did order 3 of them, hopefully they are good. Wish they had some that were 6 ft. though.

Question for the community.
I rely on OTG a lot. I have a couple of Micro USB Male to USB A Female adaptors. Is there any reason that I couldn't plug a Type C Male to USB 2.0 Micro B Female adapter (like jadeddjay's item above) into the 5X, plug an existing Micro USB Male to USB A Female OTG cable into that, and then plug my standard cable into that? So:
5X <-- Type C Male to USB 2.0 Micro B Female adapter <-- Micro USB Male to USB A Female OTG <-- standard cable .
I guess it would it be safer to just get a new OTG cable with a Type C Male and USB A Female, like this one. But I'd rather get an adapter that can serve multiple functions as opposed to a new OTG cable that I will only use with one device.

Probably a dumb question, but...
I'm a little out of the tech game, and my knowledge isn't where it should be. That will probably make this a dumb question...
I am going to get a 5x, but have loads and loads of micro-usb peripherals; does anyone know if a micro-usb to type-c convertor exists? I've looked, but it's a pain to search for, as my search results always flip what i want around to type-c to micro-usb / similar.
Long story short; i'd rather not buy loads of new type-c cables, and instead would like a converter that I can plug into my existing kit, for me to then use with the type-c port on the 5x.
Does such a thing exist?
Cheers!

I'm been looking at cables since the phone was announced and I realize I've been spoiled by the cheap cables on monoprice. Hopefully they come down in price by the end of the year.
Is there a reason most A to c type are only one meter? .Best I've been able to find is 2 meter.
Would a USB extension cable work with a USB a to c?
I have a lot of charging equipment that is type a, trying to keep using it.

Why are you trying to charge your phone from more than 6 feet away?

Well not everyone has an outlet within 3 feet of where they are sitting. For example, when I'm sitting in my living room, my closest outlet is behind my recliner, and I like to be able to use my phone while it charges, so a 6 ft cable is very handy.

I said "more"
6ft for sure is handy cause you don't want to sit against the wall.
Sounded in your original post though that you were trying to find some even longer than 6ft

Wait, why aren't people buying a micro-usb female to usb c male adapter to use existing micro usb cables and chargers?

Adapters for cables

So what are you guys doing about the move to type c? I haven't found any adapters to convert the microusb end into type c... Do they not exist? I have about 10 cables, battery backups, all based on the old type

Yes but he wants an adapter to use all his current cables and not have to buy new ones.

AAwireless cable replacement

Good morning. Thank you for this site.
Wanting to replace original aawireless cable.
Is the cable USB 3.0 Type C into a USB Type A 2.0?
Thanks in advance. Mike.

I've had a tough time trying to replace my original cable, which works the best for me, it's just longer than I need in my car.
The cable type for you depends on your car, as it's USB C on the AAW end, and USB A for MOST cars on the other end. Some cars might be USB C on the other end as they are more recent.
The big issue is if it's a high quality data cable, not just a charging cable.
I'm on the lookout for a 30cm or 1 foot cable, USB C - USB A.

There is no such thing. It's either 3.1 or 2.0, the ends can't be different. Either should work.
Just buy a quality cable. Anker and Monoprice are well respected.

If you don't need an actual cable, I've been using one of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0936PJC2J/ and it's been great.
