All HTC phones with an ExtUSB connector claim to have HTC H2wire support. What is H2wire - I can't find a definition any where.
Tnx John

Any one have any idea what this is?

Looks like this is just the interface that allows tv, power, and audio outs at the same time through the mini usb, i'm still trying to find this out myself but i'm fairly sure thats what it is

Is there a way to use tv-out to connect to a pc monitor with a special micro-usb cable? If so, what are you experience using it this way?
There are some threads about this that can be found by doing a search.
probably would of been quickier to type "yes" or "no"
I did a search and did not find anything for captivate
Bump for this.. Would definitely like to try that out!

Simple answer is no,
Captivate supports composite only.
Miami was right there are threads on here for the captivate on this subject.

Try searching in the Accessories subforum.
Sucks because Samsung was planning on making a MicroUSB to HDMI but scrapped the idea.
That would have been really cool!

RCA cables *shudder* didn't think I would ever have to use those damn things again. Wish they would have came out with the mini usb > hdmi cable oh well.
now the thing is... is there something like a composite to rgb adapter? for most modern tv/monitors it wont be an issue because of multiple input alternatives, but if the only input is rgb (vga), what can be done?

How about something like this?

Never used one.........But if anyone has would be interested in their results
i have very poor results with the composite cables, looks pretty aweful on a big screen
For anyone with a Senation already.
If anyone could be bothered...
Just wondering if a Headphone Controller app will work with the Sensation..??
I really want to get the iPhone version of the Sennheiser Headphones (PMX 680i Sports) which has the 4 ring controller along with Vol/Next Trk/etc and was wondering if this app works on the Sensation to allow that type of control.
(I think the HTC supplied phones have controls, but want better sound)
(http://www.appbrain.com/app/headset-button-controllertrial/com.kober.headset)
Really would like to know before diving in to the device. It would be great know if anyone has the knowledge or wants to try it out....
Cheers to all.
unfortuantly i do not have a wired headset with any button controls to test foe you. But i do use a couple of bluetooth headsets and the AVRCP is fully supported.
Not exactly what your after but may be of some interest to you
I have old Koss wired phones w/ controler i used with ipod and it doesnt work ... as for sennheiser, the bundled hs which came with my previous phone the HTC HD mini was from sennheiser so maybe even that one comming with sensation is

As of this moment, I can only confirm that the Play/Pause button on headphones designed for iPhone works normally on the Sensation without having to use Christoph Kober's Headset Button Controller app (which is really, really awesome in case anyone is wondering).
This is in contrast to, for example, the Nexus S I had before which would not properly recognize any button inputs at all. I had to use the controller app to get music working on that phone.
I'll reinstall the Headset Button Controller app and test it out with my girlfriend's iPhone earbuds tonight, and I'll get back to you once I confirm whether or not it reads the Volume Up and/or Volume Down buttons. I have the sneaking feeling that it won't, but hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised :]
Thx sosquidtaste
I really appreciate your effort.
There are a ton of really good headphones out there sold as iPhone capable with controllers that woud be great to be able to use them (working) on the Sensation. I can understand why they are marketed to the iphone folks, but it seems they miss a big chunk of the market by not working with other devices..
(I like the Sennheisers because they go around the back of your neck as one unit - not a big fan of bud style)
So, here's hoping!
Cheers

Sorry mate-- I just checked in the app's debug mode and confirmed that the Sensation still doesn't recognize anything but the center button on earbuds designed for iPhones. It was worth a shot!

Bugger...!
Appreciate the effort. I wonder why this is such an 'out there' thing? To me at least, it would seem logical for the OS to support something so, well, basic as headphone control. Wonder why there has been no 'universal format' for this type of thing.
....sigh.

Glad to help-- I was pretty curious about this too, given just how well the center button behaved even without the headset controller app. I just wish it turned up more encouraging results.
Competing platforms are great for the most part, except when small but important features get shot up in the crossfire ;(

Just curious, can this be changed when this bugger gets Rooted or S-Off or whatever the heck is done with the locks come off this thing..?

As I understand it, the control issue is related to specific hardware configurations in the headphone port of our phones so not even the most righteous of hacks will enable them to read input that they aren't wired to receive ;(
I'm no engineer though, so I'd be happy to be contradicted by someone in the know

Interesting...
So why I wonder, does the HTC specific Headphones work?
Do they use a different set of rules/hardware/ whatever...?
Curious.

I have a slightly odd list of needs from an android tab and was wondering if the tf700 will meet them;
line in recording of audio
usb for cat5 adapter https://sites.google.com/site/bobjgear/USB-Aapter
optionof decent keyboard dock
rootable
decent screen and manufactor rom updates
im interested in the cat5 especially as i cant use wifi at work, sadly so my options are limited...
thanks for your help and feedback, hows this tab without the keyboard?
cheers, andy

Why not use one of these? I use it all the time when I'm in hotels that don't have wireless.

The screen is matched only by the Retina display. Best Android screen on the market. We've had 4 or 5 updates so far, including JB as one of the first non-Google companies.

I have some friends that work for the government and their in the same boat as you. They aren't even allowed to use wireless when their traveling and it's available.
Thanks for this, sounds good. Only thing left to work out is line in then i guess, if someone could test this for me it would be really helpful. Its the last piece of the puzzle i think.
One other question, i take it the only "pairing" the tablet does with the keyboard is just being plugged in? The reason i ask is that if i buy a couple of tablets and keyboards (me and the mrs) can we just swap the keyboards round without any pairing faff?

As far as I know, you can interchange the docks. There's a driver for it installed in Android from the start. There's no personalized settings or anything stored in the dock itself. Plug and Play.

If you are located outside the US in Europe this would be your answer.
If you're a US user then your stuck with the complex USB adapter scenario it seems.
perfect, that actually looks just what im after, simple easy and with cat5 in built. shame it doesnt have line in then it really would be ideal!
edit: just need to find someone that will actually supply it to me now!
Hi,
I know it's a too general and broad question, but I was hoping to get some clues or facts. Googling wasn't exactly fruitful with keywords like these.
I'm thinking of a project at my uni, and I kinda need to know would an average andriod phone be able to charge other devices via its USB port? Of course, if the answer isn't affirmative in general, maybe I could get some tips as to how could I find out which specific android smartphones are?
In any case, thanks for you time.
Cheers!

I'd also like to know. I'd like to power a secondary low-power (OLED) display, with data coming from the phone as well. Can it power an arduino?
Yes. Sometimes I charge my HTC one x+ using my nexus 7.
I use an OTG Cable (USB ON THE GO). I put the OTG cable on my nexus and connect my phone to it to charge it.
Please press the thanks button if I helped!

anybody knows a way to make them work with xperia z?
they have the old sony connector, anyway to convert it to 3.5 mm ?
Which means you’ll need a Sony Ericsson device with the company’s proprietary Fast Port connector.

We don't have such a connector, do we? Therefore you can not even connect these to your device in the first place.
EDIT: Misread your post lol. Anyway, the FastPort connector is old tech. I don't think you can find any adapters (if they even exist)... eBay perhaps?
