Could someone with a working cable open it up and post the scheme here? I have a SerialGPSmouse-Qtek1010 Cable, but my supplier tells me that new cables for Qtek 2020 are necessary.
My Qtek 1010 CableConnector looks like this

Well, i still use my XDA 1 Tomtom GPS cable and everything works fine, and i don't have a charge/decharge bug like some MDA/XDA II USB cables and carchargers...
I also use my old TOMTOM 1 Cable just as i did on my XDA-1 and it works just the same. I do get one error tho, when i plug the lead in it tells me it is trying to Activesync over GPRS WAP, (its dose not connet tho) after a few seconds this puts up a error about the com port not being availabe, i just close the error and use TOMTOM as normal, As far as i can remember the xda 1 omplained about something when first pluged in.
But i can it works and charges just as you would expect it to

Okay, maybe the pinlayout hasn't changed, but then something has changed on how they use the pins, maybe more pins than before must be connected , because : how would it be solved with a new cable, which is what my supplier tells me.
If anyone opens a working cable, which can easily be done with a paperclip, then i can see what is the difference between his and mine.

Soldering skills aren't the problem, been installing mod chips in Playstations and those connectors are even smaller.

Hey guys
long story that i wont bore you with but I need to find out a HTC phone that has a normal 5 pin mini-usb slot, uses this for its headphones AND has a break-out cable (3.5mm slot halfway up it for normal headphones).
Can anyone help with this please?
NOTE: I dont want the 11pin ENHANCED mini-usbversion like on the touch-diamond. I want the version with two slanted sides, not one square and one slanted.
I don't think a 5 pin usb could carry audio as well. USB has wires for data+, data-, power+, and power-, and then the audio would need wires for left, right and earth, and another for a mike.
My old wizard had a 5 pin USB, and it had a separate 2.5mm headphone/headset socket.
yeah they can and do, its just the headphones that come with the Acer are S*&t but they do operate over mini-usb.
Thanks though, that probably means the Wizards not setup to pump audio over its mini-usb, i'll avoid that one then
My Uni has it
Thank you. I'll check them out on Ebay
the designers at htc should be clubbed on the head for their enhanced mini usb connector.
3.5mm audio + mini usb - that's what it always should have been.
I cant understand why would you want a standart mini usb if - "standart mini usb" works with "htc enchanted mini usb" --- I personaly have a standart mini usb for my Touch HD to use with PC and enchanted usb for charging it - it doesnt bother me that they are different they both do the same<- or am I missing something?
im just curious!
Lets put a couple of things straight...
1) standard mini-usb absolutely can NOT carry (non-digital) audio, no matter what some people in this thread think/claim. It simply CAN'T BE DONE.
If some device *DOES* have audio over mini-usb plug, then despite its shape, it is NOT USB. I *have* seen devices *misuse* the physical plugs it has.
2) The non-standard plug used by HTC is *fully compatible* with existing USB wires.
3) Because of (1) and (2), there is no use whatsoever for a standard USB plug to be on the device. It simply does not matter that there are extras in the plug.

Wow, jump down the throat there.... nice guy obviously.
I can think of a way it can be done ......

edit:
Would you like to also clarify how any of the 3 mini-usb cables (from various sources) work fine with the phone and PC and then can be swapped out for the Acer headset which is through the same mini-usb port? If it was a non-normal port then as you say, its unlikely the other generic cables would work.....

Agreed (sort of)... just a bit worried that you keep saying "standard" though, you do mean a standard MINI-usb right? But agreed, there is simply no justification for not having a 3.5mm jack .... its madness and a madness not just confined to HTC sadly

I think, if im reading you right, your looking at it the wrong way round
The phone I have has a STANDARD mini usb. I think your saying your phone has an ENHANCED mini usb port (guess that answers the above about them not fitting/fitting). And ENHANCED wont fit in MY STANDARD and the only HTC phones I could find had ENHANCED.
My thinking was that if I could find a HTC that had a 5pin mini-usb, I could try one of those remotes - im getting desperate!

It appears that you use a 3.5mm jack for your audio and not the Mini-usb
I could be wrong as its an old product and the only info I can find is on PDADB. Can any Universal owners confirm this? If it uses a 3.5mm jack for audio then its mini-usb cable is useless to me and I won't bother ordering one.

I´m sorry I got confused with the question
The 'enchanted' mini USB is total crap. Just check out the thread about people reporting problems because the looseness caused the little pins to be bent.
HTC should just put in a mini usb for data and power and a 3.5mm for audio.

Ordered this one as its a UK seller and will be much quicker.
However, im now temtped to start my own personal campaign against Acer and keep sending the phone back to them over and over again until they fix the Black Screen Of Death issue.... why do companies release phones with this common fault? Do they not use there own phones? I simply don't believe this can escape QA testing.
I opened thread with idea to make a RS 232 cable with communication between Himalaya and PC?! Because my connecotor form phone fell of and 13 and 14 pins on phone board are in contact (destroyed) the usb function is not possible and the first 4 pins and the last 22nd pin on the connector are crushed. So i decided to use rest of the pins to communicate with pc! I charge battery with some universal charger and i solved that question. But sync problem stays! I don't want to use bluethoot because it drains my battery and maybe sometimes i decide to flash my phone with other software and i can't do that with bluethoot! And transmission rate with rs232 is about 1,5 mbit/s till bluethoot is not faster that 512 kbit/s!
On the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Connectors i saw that pins from 6 to 11 are for the rs232 communication. And i have female rs232 connector and half of a USB cable (but the half with male himalaya connector which is need) If i could use these two half to solder one serial cable for sync i will be happy! I found out that voltage on rs 232 is about 12v and i need about 5v, so i need something to transform this power! Sry for english...
If anyone have any idea, link... Or he done this before let me notify!
c'mon ppls! Is it possible that no one knows that answer! I searched the net and found a simple null modem cable with only 3 wires, Tx, Rx and GND!
Himalaya----------(rs232 DB9)-------Function
9---------------------3-----------------Rx----------Tx
8---------------------2-----------------Tx----------Rx
5---------------------5------------------Signal ground
What transfer speed i can expect from this?! This is the cable without handshaking communication!
And according to this
Wallaby /
Himalaya_______9-pin connector(male)
2,5,16,17,18-----5 (gnd)
6 (dcd)----------4 (dtr)
7 (cts)----------7 (rts)
8 (txd)----------2 (rxd)
9 (rts)-----------8 (cts)
10 (rxd)---------3 (txd)
11 (dtr)---------6,1 (dsr, dcd)
I will get a full handshaking communication with hi-speed transfer!
So what is a better choice? First i can do it by my own, but the second is a bigger job and requires more time!?
If your still working on this...
Why not just wire up a usb or mini usb socket to the himalaya?
Lot easier!
You didn't read my post good!!! Board pins are in conntact! So, the USB function is NOT possible! I finished this project at the time i wrote this, and everything work great. Bought a Serial to USB adapter with integrated max232 ciurcut, the wireing is exact same like i presented in my post. Full handshaking, max serial speed! But afterall, not satisfied with the transfer speed... I sold my phone about 2 months ago!!!

Hey guys, I'm back! If you haven't seen the other thread I made, I was asking if anyone wanted to know how to make their own dock. Since I got a pretty good response I decided to write up a detailed tutorial.
Links to the Articles
--> Part 1 (building the body)
--> Part 2 (implementing the functionality)
--> Part 3 (making it look good)
Back Story
I've wanted to make my own desktop dock for some time now and I finally did! I ran into some troubles with it in the end so sorry for the tardiness, but it's done now .
That's all I have to say for now. Happy hacking!

Not to be a spoilsport
there's something i don't understand :
1-what about fire
2-what for exactly....I didn't notice an external power connector in wiring diagram, so i assume this is just a nice case for listening music....did i miss something ??
Anyway it seems a good job and you work really clean....my own works before (sometimes even after) the final hand are simply horrible !!!!!!!

Haha, "what about fire." Well, the entire dock is going to be coated in Bondo (automotive filler) so the chance of the outside catching on fire is 0%. The inside however, is going to be left bare, but since it will be a sealed unit, the oxygen supply would quickly run out if a fire were to start.
As for the power supply, there is a DC input on the left side of the diagram. I am thinking of stealing power from the USB hub as well, but I have yet to test if it will supply sufficient power if multiple devices are also plugged in. I am also going to be putting in a battery pack so that it can be used without an external power source.
Part 3 will be coming within the next week or two so stay tuned!

Well if you've used a non-powered USB hub before you will know that it can't supply enough power to fill up all it's ports with power-drawing devices. I've found that I can have my phone and two USB sticks plugged in at the same time and it works fine. But once the fourth port is filled some of them stop working. It was something I knew would happen from the start, but it's not a tough sacrifice to make.
I also thought about using a powered USB hub, but didn't want any more wires sticking out.

However, this isn't needed, as the SGS outputs (analog) audio via the USB when connected to a car dock (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980937).
I think this can't be used in your application, because you connect to the PC, but if that isn't required, this could be an option.
I believe the 40 pin connector has everything we could use including HDMI, USB, charging, and probably more.
Does anyone know the pinout and the mating connector? I want to make an adapter that would make the HDelight WHDI transmitter work with the tablet directly without the dock. It needs power from USB, in addition to HDMI. I am guessing both are in the 40 pin connector.

If you can make a bunch of Power Adapters for it...that's be great. I've been trying to find the 40pin connector for a while now.
I don't think people need HDMI out on the cable, b/c that's built-in in the form of a mini-HDMI cable. I think most people would want a way to hook up USB devices to it. A 40pin to USB hub (3-4 ports) would be really nice.
I think the power adapter for a reasonable price with a nice long cable would be an excellent start. 15V, 1.2A switching power supplies are cheap in China + wiring it up to the connector for $20-$25, I think you'd have no trouble selling those. As a bonus, if the adapter ALSO could take a 12V car adapter as input and not just 110-220V AC...well that's an easy sell right there!
Thanks!

Docking
Verkion,
I think using a USB car charger with the USB cable would work, wouldn't it? I haven't tried it though.
Anyway, if anyone gets hold of any info on the docking connector, pls let me know. I'll make it worth it!

Can you divulge your source for the connector?? I can make a GRIP of specialized cables connectors and docks. I'll post all tech info on comm from the 40 pin.
I have found a 40 pin connector but can't post a link as a new member. I think the offset between the two rows of pins is incorrect but may help with someone else finding the correct one. I'll contact the admin to see if I can post the link.

(note: I've done nothing to confirm whether this is the right connector or in any way related to it myself, I'm just sharing the link to save somebody else the hassle of googling.)
That 40 pin connector doesn't have +15V lines. Hence the electrical layout might be a bit different than what's listed.
Thanks for posting the link. As AnTrans said, there is a good chance the pin out assignment listed on that site is NOT what the Asus uses but may point towards finding the correct connector.

The important part is it looks like he found the connector itself, and it seems to be available from some major US distributors. The rest is a matter of reverse engineering

Start with this:
The connector on the TF, the bit that slides into the proprietary port, measures:
3.0mm x 18.5mm on outer dimensions.

Hmm, how about this then? Too bad it has a 9 week lead time.

Edited: Yes you are right.
From the data sheet, also 2129261-1 will fit. The 3.3mm thick will fit into a receptacle that is 3.8mm thick. I think the pins are okay (might be wrong).
In *addition* to your choice, try this:
Mouser Part #: 571-2129261-1
Manufacturer Part #:
2129261-1
Manufacturer:
TE Connectivity
Description: I/O Connectors 40P PLUG, CRADLE MNT CHAMP DOCKING

UPDATE:
I edited my wrong post to reflect the correct information and reduce confusion. Great job pokey9000.

See the mfr's page here , particularly the "View Product Drawing" link. The dimensions of the plug are (excl. the latches) 18.5 x 3.1 x 7mm (7mm being the minimum start of the overmold). I don't have calipers on me right now, but the pins are on .3mm staggered centers, so the distance from an edge of pin 1 to the same edge of pin 40 is 11.7mm. I still think this looks like a winner.

Okay, I agree with you. I was wrong, looking at 3.8mm on the receptacle.
Both your part and my part are the correct outer dimensions. The differences only depend on what type of mount - board or cable.
Looking inside my ASUS cable with mag-glass the pins are staggered.
Hello everyone, I've been looking for 2 days now on Parts for the Blu Pure XL (Gionee Elife E8) and I've came up with nothing...
I have a damaged USB Port and I know this cause I've tried every charger in my home and I've cracked it open to take a look and the prongs that connect it to the board are bent. If anyone could give me a source that sells Blu Pure XL parts that would be incredibly helpful!
Please reply URGENTLY.......

Just my thought, but aren't microUSB ports just... microUSB ports? It's not like the ports on different devices differs physically from others. You can use any microUSB cable on any phone with a microUSB port, can't you?
As for replacement parts, I'm not an expert on electronics (perhaps you're more knowledgeable than me), but can't you just swap in any new female microUSB port (or maybe even a USB Type C port, if you have the knowledge and if it fits)?
I'm not sure how the microUSB port is hooked up since I don't have the guts to open up my own Pure XL, but can't you unsolder/cut off your old port and solder in a new one (provided you have the knowledge)?
Possible Solution

MicroUSB ports are not just... MicroUSB ports, there are different types of pin variations (But all are 4 pins) to fit certain types of boards.
I never thought of actually replacing the USB Port. It might actually work, but I'm a little hesitant since I paid $350 for my phone.
Thank you for the reply back and I will try this. By the way, USB Type-C has 24 pins and a MicroUSB has 4; it's possible to use the USB-C, but Id only be able to charge my phone and it would take QC capability away from my phone. If anyone could direct me to the actual PCB Board with the USB and the Speakers for the Blu Pure XL that would be awesome! (Until then I guess this solution will have to do.)
Crude Solution, but works.
So what I did what get into my phone and remove the Non-Removable Battery, spliced an old microUSB cable and connected the Red & Black wires to the P+ & P- of the Lithium Ion Battery. Seems to charge the phone fast, bust remember to keep an eye on it and to not let it overheat... Here is a picture of the outcome: http://imgur.com/98Zolef

Having the same problem but for mine it seems like the metal connector on the outside protrudes whenever I plug a cable into the port... pretty loose by the looks of it.
Methinks I might see if BLU can fix it though.

did you contact BLU?
were they any help?
my phone will only charge if the plug is held at a specific angle.

They weren't able to fix it so they sent me a new Energy XL instead. Slightly inferior specs but battery is outstanding.
Also ported CM 12.1 rather easily to it. But yeah, you're either going to have to fix it yourself or get a replacement Energy XL (they might allow you to get a Pure XR as well, not sure.)
Not to dredge up a old thread; But I still need a charge board for my pure xl; I posted something months ago; and shelved the phone until recently; and I would love to find a source of parts for this.

Hate to bring up an old post but can anyone direct me to a "how to" on installing a new usb pcb? I've disassembled my phone and it seems the only solder point is the lower left hand portion.. I don't see any way of disconnecting otherwise. Ought I un-solder whatever it may be? or is there another method. Sorry btw.

I'll take some pics, but honestly if you cant tell the disconnection points (they are VERY obvious on this phone)
then maybe you should hand this repair off to someone more experienced...

Does the USB PCB also have the rear speaker on it aswell?

no, speakers are part of the back panel, it does drive the speakers though, the just are not attached to the board (spring connections)

Thanks for your reply, do you know where to get the panel, as my speakers are shot.

I haven't seen it anywhere; but maybe try taking it apart and checking to see if the spring connections are making good contact...
So what is that big round thing the two wires are going to? My soldering skills aren't the greatest, so I want to make sure I'm not totally screwed if that's not connected.

All these boards seem to be out of stock
All the replacement USB pcba boards seem to be out of stock. I tried to purchase a USB port to replace the USB with but it's really difficult. Anyone know of a place I could buy the USB pcba board that has them in stock?
Replacement PCBA with USB
I also see it sold out at both Better deals and Blu phone parts.
I am asking (Allview) support in Europe but I don't hold much hope. Anyone else found these anywhere?
I bought mine in AliExpress but I think is out of stock. I found it as" Gionee s8 loud speaker "and the PCB from bluphoneparts
