I was driving around today listening to music via aux cord to the 3.5mm converter.
After a few minutes the adapter was runnings pretty freaking hot.
Any else experienced this?

I just received notification that my pre-ordered speaker dock has been shipped out. Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow to play with on the weekend.
I plan to put the speaker dock in the kitchen to use as a clock radio-esque type device (with the ability to do other fun Xoom stuff).
After reading a little bit more about the speaker dock I noticed that it has an HDMI out port. Form the picture on the Moto website it looks like a standard HDMI port and not the mini one that's one the actual xoom.
What I'm curious about though is whether the standard dock also has this port. I'm OK shelling out another $50 for another dock I can put near my TV. I don't quite understand why only the speaker version would have one (but I guess if you want to connect it to a monitor with HDMI in) but connecting it to the TV/Receiver you typically already have a better sound system so having HDMI out on the standard dock at least makes sense.
tldr; Does the Xoom speaker dock come with a standard sized HDMI out port? Does anyone know if the Xoom standard dock comes with an HDMI out port?
The HD speaker dock has a micro HDMI on the back. Its the same connection that the xoom itself has. The regular charging dock does not have a HDMI plug at all. The stupid part is that the sound is routes through HDMI when plugged into a monitor or TV. I have a monitor without built in speakers so no sound plays when I plug it in. I have to plug a 3.5mm headphone adapter into my speakers to get sound.

Motorola said that there is no sound through HDMI on the xoom, but only on the speaker dock.
Sad seeing them do a last second money grab on their product

There is. I connected my Xoom to my monitor, and all the sound went through my monitors speakers.
interesting, I must of been misinformed.
Well that's a plus, can't wait for my micro hdmi to come in

That's how HDMI works, it transfers HD video and sound on the one cable.
How much does an HDMI cable cost?

Depends on a lot of things, where you buy, how long, etc.
If you go to your local Best Buy you will spend $30+ for a short cable.
I have purchased them from monoprice.com for $7 for a 15' cable. Works great.
Has anyone used the HDMI option on their A100? I have been trying to get it to work for the last 45 minutes and cant. The tablet recognizes that a HDMI cable is plugged in, but I get no display on my tv. Ive tried connecting directly to my tv and also tried going through my surround sound receiver.
Im using a micro hdmi cable that came with my Motorola Atrix 4G. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them.
Thanks.
I've used an hdmi to micro hdmi cable from monoprice and it worked perfectly. I used a 15 ft cable and the screen was crisp and clear. A little stretch on the sides, but bearable...

I ran into the same problem with my HDMI out. Initially, I got nothing, so I switched to a different cable. After a delay of a couple seconds, I was able to get a signal BUT it would drop if the cable moved even the slightest bit. I played with it for a while, but it was obvious that there was a problem with the physical connection. I returned the tablet to Wally-World for a replacement, and the new one works perfectly.
Thanks for the responses guys. Im going to try a new cable and if that doesn't work I'll go for a replacement.

I'm looking for a dock that can charge or sync when needed to. HDMI dock doesn't have headphone jack so that a drawback.
Which dock would u recommend and what are the pro and con of each??

The HDMI dock is used for connecting your phone to an HDMI display. It connects to your phone via the micro-usb port.
The pogo dock is used for sending just audio out of your device to another. It connects to your phone via the pogo pins on the side of your phone, so it's far easier to just slide your phone quickly in to the dock to charge.
Both docks are capable of charging.
Neither are capable of passing the USB data signal through to the phone.
Im looking for a dock that can charge and has the headphone jack so I can plug it in to a home theatre. Which one would that be??

Ever since I installed Android P my headphone adapters dont work with Aux cables anymore. It's very weird, I have 2 adapters. Both work with headphones, neither work in my car with an Aux cable. I also tried a friend's car with a completely separate adapter and aux cable and it didn't work either. Is anyone else having this issue with P? Any ideas?

You could try reflashing. I'm on P and my adapter is working fine.

Yeah, since 4 days I have the same problem, never had it with previous version of android so I think that is the problem.
Yesterday somehow it worked for one time but today again nothing. It also gives a notification that it is charging but that is of course not the case.
My OnePlus pro 9 phone is about 2 months old and the Usb-C to Aux was working perfectly until today. I tried to use it this morning
and it was not picking up the audio on my car.
I tried various options in developer menu and restarting multiple times, no dice. Charging seems to be working fine for now.

I'm not sure as to what you were trying to do? Music to car through the aux input?

Yes, the cable is also about 2 months old. It connects to the charging port of my mobile device via usb-c and on the other end is an aux 3.5mm which connects to the car - Male to male.
Why is it giving me problems, no longer works? It seems to be an intermittent problem (comes and go).
I am thinking about trying another cable but have to wait 2 days. Maybe someone else had this problem?

Could also be the car 3.5mm jack. Try it on the mic jack of a PC and see how it works as a test
