Hi all, sorry to ask a stupid question. Is the HTC Touch Diamond using mini usb connector? It is looked like ordinary mini USB. I trying to searching for USB cable online, but it seems like a mini USB to USB cable. Please advise.
The original cable from the Diamond looks a little different but a normal mini USB to USB cable will definitely work! i use one from my digital camera.
it IS mini USB. It just has one additional pin for audio.
So HTC TD works flawlessly with mini USB cables.
Thanks everyone. I tried and it really works!!!
Hurray!!! You all help me to save a lot of money as I'm planning to get a Genuine HTC cable this weekend.

Thanks in advance!
Maybe you have to use two mini to normal USB converters and a regular usb cable, think this is a lot cheaper as well.
Hallo,

Thanx in Advance

I'm using a standard usb to mini usb cable and it fits and works fine. The HTC cable with a square end won't fit a standard mini usb port but a standard mini usb connector fits in the Diamond.
Great, it works !
I should have read your post before buying a new specific USB cable for my diamond.
Strange decision from HTC !
@KIEN
Thanx bro
Not that strange. The connector can be used for audio, for which you need a special HTC connector and also for data, for which you can use a mini-USB connector. Well played.
I always sync my device using a regular USB cable. However ive seen that if i move the phone while it is syncing sometimes the syncing stops. I think its because regular cables doesnt attach as firmly as the original one does.

omfg... maybe i am too stupid or what, but i didnt even thought about putting regular mini usb cable into diamond. But, it work.
You just saved me a lot of money for two new cables and a car adapter...
i cant believe so many people didnt realise!!!
maybe its just me who has tons of USB cables lying around...
Hi guys...!!!
I got a bit excited seeing my normal micro usb cable works with the touch pro. I just plugged it in for fun but it actually detected the cable and even my pc recognised the touch pro...
Did you guys know about it???
Just thought of sharing this piece of info with you all...

yes... lol
thanks anyway!
Worked with all of the HTC devices I've used so far (Universal, Kaiser, Artemis, and Raphael) - still good to mention, though.
ROFL!!
And BTW: It's MiniUSB, not MicroUSB.
this must be a joke..seriously lol
the htc usb plug (the 3 way audio/charger/tvout) isc alled a "non standard mini usb" and your normal mini usb is a "standard" the only function the non standard plug utilizes is all the audio/headset controls (the bottom 5 pins) while he top 4 (associated with the standard mini usb functions) control the + and - voltages and data transfer. so one would naturally assume and realize that ANY mini usb would work And the fact that the wall charger that comes with any htc device utlizes the standard mini usb design so its a no brainer..
Sorry, dint know that you all knew about it... Lol...
is this your first htc device?
It's the simple things we take for granted...
Yeah this is my 1st HTC device... I am still learning and just reading and getting to know this beast slowly... Lol...
HTC has a different name for it, they call it: HTC ExtUSB™!
Besides the PRO, the other PDA that I had was the Qtek S200 and it had a "normal" miniUSB connection.
n00b.
hey, guess what...I can press buttons on the screen with my finger!
(sorry dude, don't mean to offend you or anything really......its just that such posts are hard to come by and its beyond my ability to control the evil side in me)
Akash,
I can understand your surprise. I remember just a few HTC devices ago, (maybe the SX66), you had to know the pinout for the cable for the exact device. To make matters worse, many different cables with the same looking connector, had opposing pinouts. So you could actually fry your device plugging in a lookalike cable.
So remember, don't be afraid to jump in on any topic here.
I'm trying to get mini-USB cables from monoprice... how many pins does the mini-B connector have?
monoprice has 4 pin, 5 pin, 8 pin, 14 pin usb->mini b cables.
Hi everyone,
I have bought a usb cable to mini-b and it seems incompatible with desire.
It can charge the mobile, but I can't sync.
In htc page you can read:
Standard micro-USB
(5-pin micro-USB 2.0)
It might be my cable defective.
Sorry for my enlglish. I'm learning,
I read somewhere some cables dont have a data pin on it, so it will charge but not transfer data. You need to make sure on the package it states it is a data cable.
data cable
I've just bought that one , working

hi
This was really very helpful information. I really appreciate everything. Very much Thanks!

Picked one up on Craigslist last night. Great phone so far but need t root/rom...etc etc.
Problem I have is it didn't come with nothing but a wall charger (non removable cord).
None of my Samsung or Motorola USB cables seem to work when trying to connect to a PC. This normal for HTC phones? Do I really need a HTC Branded cable?
Not at all, You just need the HTC Drivers, Download HTC Sync, Or google the drivers...
I use various make / model chargers/ USB Cables, they work flawlessly.

You definitely need HTC original(or compatible) cable (in the end of the cable is USB port witch you connect in PC or in the charger, the other side of the cable you connect into the phone ) so you can connect the phone with PC and make the things easier
I think any micro USB 2.0 cable should work I used Nokia micro USB cable and just fine. But back to the question what you want to do with the cable. If you are using to OTG, hTC phone not supported.
