is it a case of just joining 2 specific cables? should i bother? can it be done?
i found this diagram of a usb cable on the net but im not very good with this type of stuff.
It was just an idea anyway, thaught i'd throw it out and see what happens

Cheers,
EDIT: I HAVE NOT TESTED THESE WITH THE HTC DIAMOND!
I bought one of these: http://www.expansys.com.au/p.aspx?i=163156
Multifunction Audio Cable YC A200
It has one more connector then the one you listed.
I think it looks good but can be a bit bulky, but then again I only use it at home to take advantage of USB charging and the hands free.
I have another smaller converter for just using normal headphones on the train in to work.

Pinout for the camera?

I smashed the camera in my fuze as mentioned in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=504767
Instead of replacing the camera module, I was thinking of sticking a laser in there. Don't laugh, I'm serious! Anyways, I'll run a couple of wires from the battery terminals for powering it, but it'd be nice to know what all of the pins on the camera connector did so at some point I could write an app utilizing at least one of the pins on the connector to turn my laser on/off. Does anyone here know, or have a datasheet? Here's a pic of it:

Anybody? I'm sure someone's gotta know the details of the camera. Who made it, etc.
In the service manual there is no info of this.
I hope you will be able to find it.

The 'Which car chargers work' thread

If anyone gets a car charger, could you post a quick review on this thread stating whether it works or not etc
I recived this through the post today:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260687737250
£0.99
I will report back when I've tested it out
Well since the AC usb charger is detachable and turns into the DATA transfer cable charger, I just got one of these from the dollar store for like four bucks

Works great!
And you'd want to get one that gives out 2amps (2000mA), 1A just won't cut it if you navigate and listen to music with 3G on.

Hard to see, but the phone is floating
Just got one of these for €20 shipped (I know, the shipping costs were ridiculous) and have just finished testing it in my bathtub!
The idea is that I'd connect this to my phone while boating and wont have to worry about dropping it off the boat or something. Something I noticed when I opened it was that the lanyard perfectly fits along the length of the phone, meaning you could put the phone in that and kind of lean it against rocks while swimming or something without having to worry about scratching the phone!
Very happy with this product! Anyone used anything similar?

Trying to make sense of the various Samsung USB-C cables

My used Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra did not come with a USB cable.
I wanted to buy a genuine Samsung cable but I also wanted it to be as future-proof as possible.
This lead me down a rabbit hole of different models/part numbers.
So far, I've managed to put this together:

Am I missing any?
Is anyone able to assist in helping me fill in any blank cells?
Last two.
IMO with regards to pure USB-C to USB-C cables it can not be of any interest what is cable's length, thickness, color, etc.pp, but what is its transfer speed and/or its charging performance.
