I was looking for the type of cable that allow to charge and use cable headphones( C type) . There are solutions for Iphone 7 but I have not come across any for Android. What's the situation in regards HTC U11?
I did the same search for about an hour one night, I didn't find anything either. I expected many options out of China. I was a bit surprised. Maybe the plug cannot put out and accept power at the same time on Android?
I seen a thread last night that someone bought something like https://www.amazon.com/Goliton-Fema...qid=1496202880&sr=8-44&keywords=usb+c+adapter and https://www.amazon.com/multiport-US...qid=1496203314&sr=8-14&keywords=USB-c+PD+Port

I found this where the blogger talks a out possible schematics for usb c that enables both charge and music listening at the same time. Article is written in 2016.
Because I saw such adapters for iphone 7 maybe apple worked it out how to do it on lighting cable. Anyway here is a link : http://pocketnow.com/2016/09/08/the-impending-horror-of-usb-type-c-audio-adapters
I read something about type C that claims that splitting the port for simultaneous use and charging may be technically challenging for some reason. I tried looking for that article, but couldn't find it again. Regardless, if I need to charge while listening to my earphones, I temporarily use Bluetooth and one of these adapters: (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MJMV0GU/ref=psdcmw_1293687011_t1_B01NCSFAAO)
to continue using my normal earphones until my phone fully charges. I really like my normal earphones and don't want to use Bluetooth ones, so I use this adapter till the phone's charged.
@itiskonrad
Isn't that a rushed decision by android manufacturers to replace 3.5 jack without exploring give situation ?! I have already two decent pair of earbuds and will have the third bundled with handset.
Did you buy that Bluetooth adaptor and using by any chance? If so are you fully satisfied?

It is a rushed decision. What I'm curious about is if they used the anonymous usage data to make this decision. If so, it's possible that people who used both the headphone jack and charged their phone at the same time under-represented themselves by opting out of anonymous usage data.
Companies like Samsung and LG are "throw as many features into the phone as possible!" companies; making them more likely to be the last major manufacturers to get rid of the headphone jack.
3.5 jack on phones is dying off just like removable batteries. It's that simple.
You get a free included adaptor - so this is really not an issue as I see it.

Could be they used wrong audience for that purpose. For instance apple by getting rid of 3.5 jack and patenting lighting port makes a lot of money. And that makes a sense because every company that wants to make lighting cable they pay apple. I don't know what is the situation with 3.5 jack and USB C type but that could also be related to Bluetooth earbuds/head[hone market. Just guessing.
I use my G5 connected to USB Type C for charging, while also using the 3.5mm headset jack connected to the car's AUX Audio input for playing Music, Navigation, Waze. I was hoping there would be an adapter somewhere (for phones like the U11) that would allow it to charge while also being able to connect to 3.5mm audio.
Hi got redirected here by @Lock and Load. Seems it is possible to do manual cable, but have to use data + - for charging (from what i read). That means 500mA charging only. I will try a cable when i get some time. Can a usb-c hub be used? Has anyone tried? Would save a lot of messing around.

Investigated the same option you did. And mailed some sellers about it.
The Y+cables won't charge your phone, only the peripheral which you plugged in the other USB Port. And a power bank or. Charger in the other port.
As for this part for instance,
Wavlink USB 3.1 Type C 4 Ports Hub Adapter High Speed 5Gbps Aluminum Multiple USB-C HUB For Windows Mac OS Android 5.0 later
http://s.aliexpress.com/uAbyEzeA
(from AliExpress Android)
I got the answer it won't charge either.
What i did for now, i ordered a quick charge 3.0 powerbank. So when you are out. It charges quickly to listen further.

Hello,
I just noticed there are many Mini-USB to 3.5 (or 2.5) audio adapters on sale at e-Bay, like this.
All of them seem to be for Motorola phones, though. Anyone has tried on the TyTN?
I seem to remember reading somewhere in GENERAL that they would not. Someone asked HTC and they said it was propietry - but they would have an adapter out soon(ish).
Rich
I can't see why it shouldn't work... it's just £5 so what's the loss if it doesn't...
EDIT: I've bought one today. I'll tell if it works or not....
The port is NOT proprietary. It is a standard mini-USB, and takes standard mini-USB cables.
They tweaked the socket a little bit to go along with their new proprietary headset.
In other words, you can plug in any standard mini-usb cable/accessory, but you can't plug the headset into any standard mini-usb port.
Sorta "dain-bramaged" if you ask me, but since I use a bluetooth headset, it's a non-issue.
Charge and audio simulataneously?
So, how do I both charge the unit and listen to music (wired headphones) at the same time? Does anyone know?
There is an alternative to an adapter. As they say on Blue Peter, here's one I made earlier.......

At present HTC does not manufacture, supply or support such a connection and HTC cannot supply such a diagram.

Hello,
I tried one of those "motorola / razr" headphone adapters on sale at ebay. while the adapter fits nicely it doesn't work. Tytn just doesn't seem to recognize it.
Any thoughts of why it doesn't work and alternatives greatly appreciated.

If you look at the connector the motorola one has 5 pins across the top of the it. If you look at the Tytn on it has 5 pins across the top and 6 across the bottom. In order to be compatible with current chargers the top 5 pins supply the charging and the bottom 6 supply headset and serial connections.
I do not intend to use the "Line out" function of my TyTN often but it DOES lack an audio output. Sometimes I need to connect the device to speakers and etc.
It should be a modified mini USB port that the TyTN has and that must have saved some space over traditional 2.5mm sockets. We all know 2.5 sockets are not common and you need an apaptor to change it to 3.5mm anyway so prolly HTC gave up on the 2.5 and made the USB standard.
I am pretty sure that some accessory will come out.
Does anyone know if the Ebay adaptor cable will work on the TyTN?
Most of the ebay adapters are standard usb mini for use with the razor etc. These will not work. It needs to be an adapter specifically for the Tytn.
thanks! It is really stupid for HTC not to launch any accessories for the TyTN(or other releases).
Like the Atom Exec has factory cradle kit, battery, silicon cases, leather straps and etc. I don't even know where to get an extra battery!

Anyone used these yet?
I'm planning to buy a TyTn when it's released on Cingular, and the one big concern for me is the proprietary connector for charging/audio. I use my phone to play MP3s and such on my car stereo, and I have yet to find an audio adapter that will allow me to simultaneously charge my phone.
Is there such an adapter available? I realize that I can make an audio adapter fairly easily, but the capability to do both at the same time is really what I'll need.
Thanks!

So this would allow both power and headset, but I really would like an adpater with power and 3 1/2 normal audio plug so i could charge and plug the audio into my car stereo,,
I guess we could buy the y adapter and then make the audio as the link suggests, but i would rather buy the completed audio adapter rather than trying to make one..
Oh well, maybe someone will sell them someday.....
Thanks! That's what I was looking for. Not ideal since I'd still need to make an adapter, but better than not having anything at all. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before they come out with an all-in-one solution

As long as you know some basic wiring information and car info like how the electrical wiring is setup. I know people that wired up TVs in there car before they were an package option. They would take one of those portable DVD players, detact the screen. Some rewiring.. This would be a very fun project actually if you were into DIY work. Another option is if you had a one of those cigarette ports you don't use, get some sort of inverter.

Interested in this as well. Were you able to find anything yet?
I too am interested. I see a bunch on Amazon but they all look cheap. Does anyone know of a high end micro usb-c to 3.5mm+usb-c charging?
I tried a non-charging adapter for the Moto Z2 force I had laying around and it works fine. However I still want to charge.

The following one from amazon, works fine on my mediapad M5.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BTX2DX7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Edit: Only one of the two adapters works and that one only with the original Huawei charger. It did not work when I used USB C chargers, unlike the Huawei USB A one. I have a different charger on the way and will post if it works.
This one works on type C chargers, but I'm discovering they all have an audio hum when plugged into power. Also be prepared for long ship times from Walmart.
It's a bit pricey @ $25 but this is what I've been using for the last couple weeks:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FCZY1ZB/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The build quality, specifically the outer shell, is excellent and the additional DAC makes for crisp sound output.

I've been playing with mine the last two days and would have to agree on the sound quality. I'm not getting the audio hum, I was getting with the cheaper ones, when plugged into power. Good find.

This one works fine, and you can charge at the same time, but it disables quick-charge (must only connect the + and - connections and not the ones used for data).
Here is a link from my previous order in France. Works perfectly well
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B07MCT2684/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
I am looking for 1 Razer phone user as a volunteer to test the sound quality of 2 in 1 usb c adapter which is developed by my teams. It is not a simple project.
If the first guy test the feature is ok, in additionally i will need 10 more volunteers to test the sound quality.
All cost on me. Keep it with you lifetime and report to me if you find any issue.
After developed and tested for half a year, now at my side, tested Google Pixel 2 / XL, Essential Phone, HUAWEI, XIAOMI works well, and feedbacks from other users are the same.
For this adapter, DAC sampling rate max 96KHz with 24 bits, ADC 48KHz with 16 bits. Max 3A output under PD charging. It cannot support QC but the current can reach 1.5-2A depends on your original wall charger.
Some people may ask about safety. The motherboard will take all risks, instead of the connected usb c end or your phone. In the usb c end connected with your phone, there is no components inside. That means, even the motherboard burnt, your phone is still your phone. Moreover, the motherboard is really hart to get shorted, unless you use a 3rd unqualified wall charger.
Then, show me your interests thanks. you can see the design first: amzn.to/2mi2BXL

I mean there's no components in USB C end, not the another side.
At the beginning i indeed want it to be the shape like the one in your link. But after tried, it is impossible to make it as a Y shape cable. 2 essential chips set (DAC+Charging) with too many ICs need to lay on one motherboard and work together instead of separated into 2.
If the adapter is not with DAC and fast charging, the answer is yes to manage as Y shape. But you can't use it for Razer Phone.

So I just went ahead and bought one from Amazon as linked, and unfortunately this adapter has a nasty habit of disconnecting and reconnecting power charging. I'm not sure if the dongle is power cycling every 30 seconds or what... Yeah that Charging sound is dinging every 20-30 seconds and it's kinda disappointing.
Thank you for your trying. We have analysed the problem. We confirmed our adapter cannot compatible with Razer's current system. After checked with razer phone, our adapter may work with their next generation system when razer fix system bug.
Thank you for reporting this case. Please kindly return it and get refund! If you have issues on returning via Amazon, tell me and i will refund to you directly.

This adapter do be able to charge OR audio either one, but currently the 2 function cannot work TOGETHER on Razer phone.
I also find the same issue on HTC models.
The only reason i can assume is that, these 2 brands' system DO NOT ALLOW people to charge and audio at the same time, unless the brand owner unlocks this limitation in next system OTA.
If you find other possibility, please let me know thanks. I also want to solve this problem but now i have no more ideas to do with Razer Phone's current system.
