OEM Composite cable doesn't fit in microUSB slot - HTC Sensation

i got the OEM HTC composite cable but found that no matter what i did, it clearly doesn't fit on the Sensation despite some sites like CellGuru that say its compatible or other reviews that say to remove your case (which i tried)
thoughts? im tryin 2 get this for mirroring in my car (which has composite aux-in)....i also got the MHL cable but thats obviously HDMI and i need the component connectors

if not, will have to get an HDMI to Component adaptor (if that even works in my car)

That end doesn't look right at all....it looks too long and the notch doesn't look like it belongs either.

That's for the USB port on the HTC flyer tablets

if i cant mod the connector on this cable to get it to fit, it looks like im gonna have to buy something like this and use my MHL adaptor with it: http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Composite-S-Video-Converter-3RCA/dp/B0047PDBP0

picked-up an Amaze over the weekend and this cable now fits in it (it has the grooves which the Sensation does not). found out this newer connector uses a different class of microUSB to charge & is a proprietary HTC design, called ExtMicro USB. It allows the device to get more power while charging, but it is also backwards compatible with microUSB cables (5 pins vs. 12)

Solar powered charger for n1?

I use to have one for my old 3gs and was wondering if i can get on for my nexus one? Thanks
http://www.solio.com/charger/
@jairuncaloth Those are a bit much I haven't tired any of these chargers but the prices are a bit more reasonable. www.solarstylemiami.com
Mine was a gift. It's pretty handy.
Another vote for the Solio. A pricy but amazing device, I never go anywhere without mine
+2 for Solio...the best functionally!
Which one of those solar chargers are compatible with Nexus one?

Solio usually comes with all kinds of adaptors for all phones. Check their website for specifics.
I don't know if they have a microusb tip yet. That's pretty easy to work around though. Mine came with a standard usb female port. I can plug the N1's usb cable right into it.

I ordered an A97 tip cox it looks like extUSB. I'll let you guys know is that the one after I got it.
I have a MicroUSB for my solio, bought it straight off the main solio site with a few other tips
http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.asp?divid=Google&model=Google+Nexus+One+PB99100&skuno=83981
this one seems/looks nice but i heard fommy.com is a bad company to deal with
Yes! It is A97 tip!
I just got the tip and it works like a charm!
Just curious....Where do you use these?
I just can't imagine being somewhere I would sit long enough to use this that I wouldn't have access to AC or USB.

Ah...No wonder I couldn't think of uses...These are all things I'd have to get-up and move around to do! My idea of roughing-it would be switching from 3G to Edge!!

did you look on ebay? This don't need to be specific from HTC. Look maybe for UK to EU adapter or something like that...
It has to be the same design, because the HTC`s chargin unit is designed in such a way that it enables switching the adapter that goes into the socket.
na žalost.

So something like that will not work:
If not then is cheaper buy EU charger because this combined is way to expensive...
no, I have that. That`s not a problem. I`m just looking to get the original HTC part for that charger. What you can do is take out the UK plug and put in the EU one. Its interchangable.
Anyway, they only have this at the moment, might wait.
edit: found it, but its expensive
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plug-P300-I...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1270812930&sr=8-10
You can still just plug the 3 prong UK plug into a EU adapter but then again it kind of defeats the point behind the plugs design. Why make it like that if they aren't going to offer the plugs individually? Some people may never need the American or Australian plugs.
I know that I will use this adapter with UK charger, because I charge my phone all time in same place(overnight near bed)... So I have my charger for TyTnII untouched cca. 2 years connected to same plug and this adapter will not be problem. But if you travel a lot I think you can easy lose or forget somewhere this adapter(can stay in wall "plug" and you forget take it out)...
It's probably easier to find a complete new set of charger, plug and cable. Found one on ebay that sells for 9€ (shipping included, at least in germany ) - so thats just a bit more expensive than a simple power adapter that would look not that good / bloat up the whole charger.
Added Bonus: In the rare case your charger unit blows up, you got a spare one
I received and invoice from expansys (who run the http://www.htcaccessorystore.com) just for that part. They want 7.77 for it.
Got the adapter today. Fits perfectly, great to have an interchangable part. Is was 7.77 with delivery.
Nice find
@JaykaySLO
Thanx mate for the tip
Been searching for a while for that adapter!

USB OTG Adaptor

Found my old USB OTG adaptor that I used with my SE Xperia Arc S and thought why not give it a go.
This is when I discovered the usb port on the Arc S (which i assumed was angular), and the OTG cable are square micro USB, not narrower at one side like all of the other cables i've seen - and the ports on numerous other devices (RAZR i included).
Specs say both are called micro USB, but one is entirely incompatible with the other as there is no way in hell it will plug in to the RAZR i...
True story :good:

The most commun is the B shape, it's the one you find an almost all smartphone MicroUSB compliant.
Strange that the Arc S use a MicroA shape...

The HTC Amaze 4G does too. Odd I agree.

Zero reviews..
EDIT: Even cheaper on eBay.. ~$17: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Slimport-HDM...LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item232d60cf49&_uhb=1
So I just received my Kanex Slimport Adapter and it is built very well. The cable attached to the adapter is ~12 inches long.
You can charge it via the built-in micro-USB port on the adapter itself.

Thanks for sharing. Makes me want one even more now, however that Chomecast is surely tempting as well (so long as I can find one available!)
How is the image/video/audio quality on your TV? Any signs of compression or frame drops? Just wanting to know what to expect if I do buy one.
to those who have bought this, what are your thoughts? I was going to get one, checked amazon, and it didn't have good reviews.

Yea you might as well! I just got in a new red and black one that i love the color on i also have the OnePlus cables if anyone wants to see them but i do show it off in the one video. If you just got a phone though you cant beat the multipack! Going from micro USB to USB C i went from having about 50 cables to just the one that came in the box lol
I was looking at some of those cables online and some of the reviews were complaining that they charged very slow. I will wait till more people are able to get tests with the new Nexus phones.
