I'm going on a trip and would really like to get a Mini USB to 3.5, bought one but didn't realize that they were model specific. The one I got was for a Verizon V3...d'oh (next time I'll search before buying). Anyways does any body know where I could buy one in store instead of online, or if I could take my V3 mini to 3.5 and just rig something up myself to my Mogul headphones?
Actually scratch that, just ordered an adapter and got it next day. I am going to play around with the V3 one I got and see if anything is to differant between the mogul phones and v3 adapter.

I wish to use a standard earphone (other than that bundled by HTC) with 3.5 mm stereo pin. But the problem is that HTC accessories are not readily available in India. Now what I thought is, can we not make a homemade adapter by cutting a mini USB cable and connecting / soldering it with a standard 3.5mm stereo adapter. In that case the microphone of course will not work. I have read at HTC site that the mini USB of HTC vox (may be all other phones of HTC) is a propreitory 11 pin connector. So can a standard mini USB cable be satisfactorily used ?
Anybody has any idea ?
This is what I use with my VOX

it works perfect, and I got it delivered to my home in India.
but I dont use it anymore cause I have got the new Jabra BT3030 bluetooth stereo headset which is so perfect.
Thanks Prajith. I am thinking of buying one.
Also ebay
Do a search on ebay for "USB audio adapter for HTC Vox". They are very cheap.
JK
BUY IT from XDA DEVELOPERS STORE
Its available in the store.xda-developers.com

@naidu001
you can get two of the connectors I mentioned in that price.
and hey it can be used for charging too, which the connector you mentioned cannot.
Rightly said Prajith your conector has boyh USB mini and 3.5 jack. Actually I purchased a few things from another site where postage was further cheap at $3 per item. But it seems that cost of the items are cheaper at the link shown by Prajith.
Anyway I am searching for an adapter with miniUSB, 3.5 earphone jack and microphone too for answering calls. I know this will be avaialable but the shipping costs are main.
@parthabhatta
talk to some of the other windows mobile users near place and buy this together. That way shipping cost becomes very less and they may offer a discount also. I had bought 30 of those, now I have only one and that too I dont need.
I would seriously suggest that you try a bluetooth stereo headset, you would never again use a wired headset. Ever!
Let me know if any of you folks have bought this miniusb to 3.5 mm audio jack converter for Vox from xda store. How easy is to order one from there?
I live in Bangalore. Is there any one knows which is the right place here to find it?

I ordered it from brando shopping. I don't remember the price paid but they have a standard 3 $ per item charge for shipping anywhere. The item will reach you within a fortnight maximum.
The url is probably shop.brando.com.hk or google with brando shop and you will find the exact address. No extra customs duty etc has to be paid.
Thanks PrabhatBhatta,
i went to Bangalore's National Market and tried a few adaptors, none could really work actually. Then i tried a final one which is the same as seidio one, which worked atlast for me. I bargained it for Rs160.
Just in case you guys wanted to know I just bought a Car Charger from eBay for under $5. I checked with Verizon and it costs around $30. Though I'm sure the build quality is gonna be better with Verizon.

My previous phone was a HTC Vogue AKA Verizon XV6900 and all of the cables that came with it work with the Eris...
Any car charger with a USB port will do. I picked one up at bestbuy for $5, use it for my iTouch and Eris. Works great D:

I second that. I bought the one from Verizon because I needed one right away for a road trip. It's just a basic USB car charger.
so my BB curves mini usb car charger will work for my Eris?
thats awesome.....
Another option is to use the Griffin Powerjolt Dual Universal and your stock cord. You can see it at griffintechnology dot com

Hi! If you have a GT7+ you might be very interested in the Samsung accessory which turns your Multiport into a USB host port for ~20€ in europe and I think also around 20$ in the US.
Now I got myself this cheap china clone:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/150818531662...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4928wt_1163
It costs 1,23€ including international shipping, and you should expect up to 5 weeks of shipping time (took only around 2 days for me though)
It works just as fineas the original one (I didnt try the original, but I had no problems with this one either)
Build quality seems sufficient, it's not bad but the around 20x more expensive original is probably better.
One last thing to notice is that this one has a cable (look at the pics on ebay) while the original one forces you to stick you flash drive etc directly into the device. While the cable might be a bit less stable, its certainly nice to not have a huge usb device stick out on one side.
On a side note: Though it says it's only for 8.9 and 10.1 it works just fine with my 7.0+
i got this last february from dealextreme.. http://dx.com/p/otg-adapter-cable-for-samsung-galaxy-tab-p7500-p7510-p7300-p7310-black-10cm-109037 works great with my p6200...
For those live in Singapore, If you dont want to wait for the shipment, get one at s$6.90 at Chellenger, work just fine
I got one off of eBay for $0.99 (search for Galaxy Tab USB host). Works perfectly. For HDMI the only option I found is the official adapter, though.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using xda app-developers app
I need a need a new USB/charger cable.
Anyone can suggest a reliable source on ebay ? The one I just received from Singapore in only 2 feet long (my fault, I know but it says "replacement for the HP Touchpad" and is not very strong, wont last a year for sure.
Thank you.
i ordered the cheapest one i could find on amazon.. 6 feet long for 3-4$ delivered.. works just fine.. even couple feet longer would be better..
Hi there I had a cable for my s3 that I plugged into my phone 2 tv so I could watch videos. Been looking online for one for my note 4 can't seem 2 find one. Anyone recommend one thanks

Official one http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-H10FAUWESTA If you have the 50% off code still from registering your phone with Samsung, this would be something worth using it on
If you search on Amazon.com you can find other ones for under $20, search for a MHL adapter for the Note 4..... different phones need different adapters so I wouldnt get one unless it specifically said for the Note 4.... I know someone else will give more information than what I can, so give it a while here, maybe someone will find you a cheaper one yet.
I got mine from monoprice. Works with my Note 4, Note 3, S3 and HTC One M7. The smaller plug is an 11 pin to 5 pin adapter needed for Samsung devices. Not needed on the HTC One.
http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=10021&seq=1&format=2
it's plenty out there.
Many people doesn't know that any MHL cable will work on our Note 4.
The older version of MHL will only needs a 4/5 pins to 11 pins adapter that costs less than USD 5
I actually using my old Smart Dock for Note 2 and it works with Note 4

If you have WiFi just get the chromecast it does the same plus more.. but if your stuck on getting a wired solution then ONLY purchase the one linked in the second post /the Above quote.
Like he stated above register your device with Samsung they WILL give you a50%off code on ALL ACCESSORIES through them. I've bought ones offline from dealers who has 10 THOUSAND+ sales with a 99% + satisfaction rating. I bought a mhl adapter from them and got it plugged it in and every so often it would drop out and go to snow on the screen. Come to find out it was a knock off being sold as a legit own. I returned it and got a refund. But the seller was stunned cause they had a huge shipment of worthless mhl knock offs.
So just buy it from Samsung the official one, it'll last used it on my note 2 and note 4 until I bought the chromecast. Both will do hdmi and surround sound. Not to mention the one that's compatible with the note 2 and 4 is also compatible with s3 s4 and other devices running usb2.0 from Samsung.
Don't buy the knock offs or imitations they don't transfer data at the same rate as the official one and audio quality isn't as good.
But honestly if you have WiFi in your place get the chromecast, you can mirror anything in your screen turn a movie on from the other side of the house and use your phone for other reasons.
Thanks a lot for the info just order one from Samsung. Not got wifi right now moving home
