when they first came out they where $100.00, they are very strong and made just for the HTC that fits, they also come with the car charger and some of the parts are metal. When you dock the phone they it take the phone into car-mode.

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.

Yes, you are right
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.
Hi!
I've been looking around here and there and can't seem to find it, so i figured it's time to ask the guru's
Has anyone found an active carholder for the DHD, which can be mounted either on the windscreen or on the upper side of the dashboard, so it can be used for navigating safely, without taking your eyes of the road?
Thanks!

But this one is not active
What do you mean by active? That you can move it around, from car, or from its current spot?
Active holders means there is a jack to charge/sync your phone as it's sitting in the dock. This means it will usually have a jack to connect your charger to, or will already have the cables hardwired into it.
Passive holders mean they just hold onto you phone.
I'm also looking for one of these, except i need one that can fit a DHD with an Otterbox case around it

ah cheers for that
Does Brodit HTC-DHD active mount activate car panel?
Does the "active" bit also suggest that the 'car panel' app can also be automatically started when the DesireHD is docked ? I'm sure I've seen a setting somewhere within android that can allow this to happen. Does this mount qualify?
I am assuming some pins being pulled high/low etc in the MicroUSB connector when plugged in determine if its a car mount dock or not, so that normal chargers dont trigger the car-panel?
Edit : I've just sent of an email to: [email protected] and asked for clarification. Will advise here when I get an email back from them.
Cheers & Happy New year.
Edit : Response from brodit.se was that the cable does NOT activate the car panel.

I think you will have to use an HTC car charger USB cable. The one that comes with S400 brings up the car panel (I use Google's Car Home though) even if it isn't connected to a power source. I think it is the pin config at the micro-usb end of the cable that does the trick.
Does anyone know if TV-Out works with this phone? If so, what cable works?
Thanks for any help.
There is no TV-Out port on the Shift. Or am I misunderstanding something here?
On some phones, even though it's not advertised, the headphone jack has a video out section to it... A tv out cable for an ipod or zune (non touch screen versions for both) would work in that case, with rca outputs.
I have no idea if it's on this phone or not... Some phones have had it without advertising it

Purchased the DINC cables from amazon. They are advertised as microUSB.
However they are not. Will not fit Shift4G microUSB port.
Would love to know if this works!
They might have one through the micro usb, but I think it would most likely be the headphone jack type with the extra section for video, like for an old school ipod

So, Is anyone already tried it..? recently I install CM10 on the device, basically I compared the system with some local phone brand (IMO Discovery S88), it's already ICS Built in and capable to do TV Out through its headphone jack. Can our phone do it too..? hope anyone already test it or just give me some clue on how to do it.

I have a ten footer in my vehicle that I use as a charger/data for my H/U. From time to time I will notice mp3's sound weird. If I switch to bluetooth they sound fine. SO yeah the longer the cable the more chance for goof ups. Rule of thumb the shortest distance in anything dealing with electric cables is better.
Just an opinion, but when I bricked mine I tried 3 stock cables at home to get into download mode and none recognized, but the blackberry "FireWire" (notice thickness vs the stock android one) was the only thing that worked.. and it is a tighter fit

Well, I finally got around to testing the to I have. One is the original that came with my HTC U11. The other is the one that came with the Pixel 2. The official one from HTC is 10x better in sound quality. I was amazed at the difference it makes with a high level audio system.
The one made by Razer sounds amazing too! Much better than using the Sonic headphones that came with the phone.

It's crazy how much they cost., and it's just to adapt to the majority of headset/earplugs, which have a 3.5 mm jack.

NEITHER of these work ONLY CHARGE Phone. Same error POPUP
My previous post for the other adapters DO work but they are only Head Phone adapters ONLY.
( hence this is why I am looking for an adapter that will charge the phone while connected to my home stereo AUX input )
The HTC U12+ is COMPLETELY STOCK (NO ROOT or special software installed in it )
I even went to the point as to resetting and wiping out the phone since i really do not have much on it so I was not going to loose anything .
You can use "Audio Router" app to use these adapters (they are not working because there is no DAC inside).
