Question Any workaround for wireless charging on non-Samsung phones - Samsung Galaxy Watch 5

Hi, does anyone know if there could be a workaround to allow a non-Samsung phone to wirelessly charge the Watch 5?
As I understand it uses a "WPC" standard rather than the usual QI.
Is it a total hardware limitation, or something that could be tweaked?
This isn't quite a dealbreaker but it's a huge pain to not be able to charge on the go from my phone (Mi 11 Ultra).
Thanks in advance.

Wireless Charging & SmartLock

I only very recently got my Nexus 6 (Loving it so far), so I decided to pick up a Tylt Wireless Charger on a black friday sale to take advantage of it's wireless charging capabilities. I set up Smartlock when I got the phone and I returned to the settings to see if I could set up my wireless charger as a trusted device with the trusted NFC devices. I tried messing around with it for like 10 minutes and spent some time doing research but I can't seem to get it to work and I'm beginning to think it's just not possible. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get this to work, or to let me know it actually isn't possible, please let me know. Thanks in advance

I know that with my LG G3, it disables NFC when my phone is connected to my wireless charger (not a Tylt), so I would assume something similar happens with the N6. Plus the Tylt doesn't have NFC capabilities from documentation I've seen, so that is why it isn't possible.
I do not think wireless chargers are bluetooth or nfc devices -- "wireless" refers to charging without a cable attached to the phone.

Car connection

Just received this, coming from an S8+. Problem being when trying to connect to my car via USB, I've used the original cord and it recognises initially but then stops charging. Other phone is fine and I need to use android auto, don't want to take it back but it's a key feature I use. Anyone else experience this?
You are talking about Android Auto? The Huawei phones have a long history of incompatibility with that. Looks like the P20 Pro made a big enough splash to attract attention from Google though, as they are apparently looking in to making it compatible.

Not sure if it's even just an Android Auto issue as when connecting via USB it doesn't stay connected, it's weird.
Same problem for me...
Sometimes AA stop working and the P20 pro stop charging.

Android Auto with Samsung Dex

I'm installing an Alpine ILX-W650 for Android Auto in my car next week, and noticed it requires simultaneous Bluetooth and USB connection to the phone. I want an easy way to dock my S10 each time I get into my car, something that's quick, easy, secure, looks nice, won't wear down the type C port on my phone, and charge faster than the 1A provided by the Alpine unit.
If I have to custom fabricate a docking cradle that fits just right in my MK6 GTI, I will, but just want to find the best solution. I have a Baseus auto clamping vent mount with the IR detector and Qi fast charging, and could try affixing a magnetic charging+data capable cable to that so the cable is in place to lock onto my phone's port automatically using the magnetic attraction, but have no idea if that will work or not. I read in one forum that someone was able to wirelessly charge their phone while it's plugged in for Android Auto, anyone know if that will work for the S10? My magnetic cables are the Wsken X1 models, I have no idea if they'll work and how reliable a connection they will provide, anyone try something similar?
Another option I'm considering is using the Samsung Dex Pad as a docking station, and mounting the phone horizontally since I will be controlling everything from my voice and Alpine's touchscreen while driving, and won't need to really do anything with my phone. I asked Samsung if it will work, and they said they've never tested it, suggested that I just try it and find out. I don't want to buy the Dex Pad if it's not going to work, has anyone tested that so I don't have to? Probably will anyway, but it from a place with a good return policy, but am hoping someone out there has thought of this and can enlighten me on what to expect.
Thanks!

Hello, I have a 04 Audi A4 with a 13” screen and a Dex pad under my arm rest. Out of sight and protected. I love it! My monitor lets me connect and control my phone via touch screen. Torque app works well on a 13” screen. I also have a dell d10u that I use for tuning while my main unit is my s10. I have enabled developer mode on my Dex and the use "Dex Max" App, It helps out as well.

Id be interested in this too. Can you expand a little on your setup? I'm looking to do the same with adding a larger LCD while maintaining touch-functionality via android. I'm wanting to piece together a 10-13" LCD along with a capacitive usb overlay but haven't verified that the touch would work via android along with my CarPC.
As for docking, I've been using a cheap $8 Ebay USB hub with success in both DeX and AA in my setup.
Hope theses pic are visible. I will have to get my other phone to display my setup with Dex running.
Forgot one.
Not the cleanest installation, not the worst.
My high mileage e85 Audi A4. Sorta a "beater with a heater".
Here are some pictures, the few are with screen mirroring with the aid of seconscreen app, overlay app and a few others. The rest are in Dex mode which yelids a better picture however apps don't auto start in full screen, while driving it can be somewhat cumbersome.

Sorry, pictures seem to be upside down.

Question USB RJ45 Adapter

Hello everyone,
Im trying to connect my phone (redmi note 10 pro MFF edition (europe)) with a rj45 cable to avoid wifi signal in my house. In my old samsung its connected directly, but with the xiaomi nothing happen, I dont find the option for ethernet neither.
Did any one try this ? Its just a software problem ( MIUI system) or more hardware. Since im still waiting to unlock my bootloader, Cannot try with a custom room to see if the problem persevere.
Thank you all for the feedback
any feedback ?
I do not have the Redmi Note 10 Pro, but some general questions:
1. Did you disable Wifi and enable Airplane mode?
2. Which adapter did you use?
I disabled the wifi and enable the airplane mode, but nothing change.
I use this adapter https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07CR79XM7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, work as charm on my old samsung.
The issue is that in miui we dont have any ethernet interface to configurate the dhcp or other stuff.

I thought the issue was that you had no connection. I have no idea about the MiUI. So if the issue is that you get no connection these might be some obstacles:
I found a discussion (for the Redmi Note 8/Pro/8T) on the mi forum (https://c.mi.com/thread-3003395-3-1.html) where a person describes that he thinks the issue might be the chipset. Your ethernet adapter uses the 8152B chipset, but he says that it seems like you would need an adapter with a AX88179 chipset. An ethernet adapter that supports the AX88179 chipset is the https://plugable.com/products/usbc-e1000/.
Another user in the same discussion says that it works for him with the j5create adapter (https://c.mi.com/oc/thread-3003395-1-0.html), although he states that nothing indicates that he is connected. (For some reason I didn't find any information on their website about what chipset their adapter uses, so we don't know for sure if the chipset is the issue.)
But let me re-emphasize that I do not know whether that really is the issue or whether it works with one of these adapter. So be aware of that.
If the ethernet is still not working the issue might be that the kernel wasn't configured for Ethernet over USB. You can find a lot more information about these things here: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/225643/how-to-make-ethernet-work-on-android-over-otg
If you actually decide to buy a new ethernet adapter, please let me/us know whether it worked.
Thank you Ponyo71 for this intersting feedback,
I think its myabe a doubel raison : first hardware and secone software.
I get the same issue with my mibox 3, she dont regonis all the usb rj45 adapter, only the ugreen worked and another 2$ adapter that I get from discountshop.
the software raison is the only part that we can modify easly, I know that xiaomi reduce alot of option from android to optimise the battery or to not show that the chipset used is very powerfull for some specific utilisation. nad since the chipset used for wifi and BT probably is the same that manage the ethernet.
The xiaomi coast cheap, Its's normal that they bypass some non essentiel used option. More, i think if it's a option htaht only less than 5% of people use, they will supress it from miui to save and manage the battery.
Anyway, Now im back to samsung, no more xiaomi for me
Seems like it really is the chipset, since the ugreen adapter uses the AX88179 chipset. And apparently it works with your MiBox 3. So I guess it really is your ethernet adapter and not the software, although I can’t say for sure.
In this case, we will get at least the ethernet configuration but disabled. in MIUI we dont have any ethernet parameter. The software has a part of the problem
Yeah, seems like MiUI has no configuration options for Ethernet.

P30 PRO not working Android Auto - Wired

Hello,
I have a Huawei P30 Pro sw EMUI 12.0.0.134(C461E1R1P2) VLOG-L29 and I cannot connect to Android Auto (Mercedes Benz). the problem must be an incompatibility of P30 PRO since the AA works fine with other Phones.
I've reset Mem&cache of AA App, updated the AA SW version and the other Apps. Also testing developer AA menu optons.
I have come to connect sometimes with difficulty to AA car but I am not able to find a pattern so that it works well continuously. When I try to connect again it doesn't work.
My AA version is 8.3.624134.
I am surprised that there is no posts about it since I imagine that Huawei phones will have many compatibility problems with AA.
Anybody can help me?
BR

Works fine with Dacia AA(wired). Don't have a MB to test...same version AA
Did it work with EMUI 11?
Now I can connect. I've done three actions:
1. Buy a new official cable.
2. Update all the Apps. It's important that Google assistant works well.
3. In developers menu, tick on developer mode.
Now AA works fine but sometimes it disconnects. Maybe I have to revise battery savings App conf., or the screen must be ON all the time. I don't know ..
I've used P30 pro for both wired and wireless AA without any problem for more than year. So .
- You dont need official Huawei USB cable, any decent cable will do. I believe that was your problem, bad cable
- Updating all apps is in general good thing to do, but it doesn't influence connection with AA at all
- Forget developers mode, please . No need to think about it, and you actually may harm your phone by playing with it. It doesn't have any influence on AA
Enjoy AA in your vehicle

I completely agree with your appreciations. I’ve forgotten using developers mode and it seems to work. I bought a high quality cable and I cleaned the USB-C connector.
Currently I only have a problem: disconnections every few minutes (variable from 2-10 minutes). I am testing some things: AA permissions, non Battery savings, always on of the screen … but I can't find a pattern. Any idea what can be the problem? Does it happened the same to you with your P30 PRO wired to AA?

I've switched to S22U last two months, so i cant share fresh experiences, but i can say that i haven't had any disconnection issues while P30p was not moving while connected to car.
But, when i moved phone for any reason, it would lost connection occasionaly. I've concluded that was caused by weak connection, and haven't investigated it further.
well, In my case it seems to be a cabling problem. I bought 2 high-quality cables, 1-meter long and 2-meter long. I had tested the shorter one. This morning I tested the longest one and my P30 isn't able to connect AA.
I'll buy a shorter cable (0,3 or 0,5m) in order to test again..
