Will the Desire HD car charger work for Inspire as well?

Thanks

Consider they're basically identical phones yes, it will work. Just about any micro USB charger will work.

Thanks....

I bought this because of the extra USB port.

Yes an NO lol. All depends what ROM you are using , what kernal is flashed and your device. You could "possibly" run a command via terminal but you wont have the function of both. It will be one or the other.

I would like to mount a USB memory device simultaneously while charging. Are you saying this isn't possible

I think usb otg and charging in the same time is not possible as the two use the 30 pin connector, so you need accessory that is otg and has a socket to connect for charging in the same time, i have not seen this accessory yet
All otg cables i see has a socket only for usb stick and some has additional sockets for sd cards as the 5 in 1 accessory (i have one)

Can you give the link from where you bought all these? I can't get it for cheap in the market

Nice work.
I was thinking of something similar with a rechargeable battery and cordless mouse to get rid of the additional power wire. Does a USB keyboard work on this dock?

Werid problem with my a700

Right then I'll expalne this first I use a nexus 7 charger to charge my a700 but it's not chargeing now it still works the charger on other devices so I thought the usb port had messed up so I tryed to plug my otg cable in and all the devices I've pluged in work (Xbox 360 pad memory sticks usb dongle) all work I am puzzed on why the charger doesn't work also my pc doesn't pick the tablet up any ideas would be helpful
Update its charging but still no connection to pc

You need a special charger for the A700. There are two extra contacts to change the tab. This is due to the large battery.

I understand that I'd love to know the pin layout of the normal charger I'd try to make my own but at least it charges from my nexus 7 charger but what am trying to figger out is why it won't connect to my pc via mirco usb
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

I've decided to make my own charger the pin layout is pin 1 is 12volt+ and the pin 12 is 12 volt - I read that from another forum if this mod works I shall upload photos

I need this cable

Hi guys, I had this cable for my S3. It's for charging and play music. Aux to USB. Unfortunately doesn't work with my S4. Does someone knows a cable like this for S4?

I'd be interested in a cable like that if it works with the S4

Apparently this dock and cable set does the trick:

Would like to have the standalone cable myself but I don't think its available in UK where I live

Great news guys, iBolt will this cable sale separately I have called the men from iBolt, he will send me a cable WITHOUT the dock for 19,95€ :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Wish they made one shorter than 9 ft.

How does this cable work? Ive never neen anything like this..
Is there another line in jack im not seeing or does the sound output from the micro usb?

Yes, it attaches through the micro USB. My understanding is, that there is a resistor on the 'Sense' wire of the usb that triggers dock mode, and enables audio to travel over the Data + and - wires.
At least, that's how the dock worked for the older Galaxy S models.

The iBOLT Dock'n Play cable...
All, the cable you're discussing is available from us at iBOLT on Amazon here, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009PN6APM When the microUSB is inserted it triggers "DockMode" in any Samsung Galaxy S3, S4 or Note I & II. You can go into "Accessory-Settings" and select "audio out" and "dock mode screen". This means the sound from all Apps (not phone calls though) will go to the 3.5 mm aux-out jack so there's only ONE cable needed for charging AND playing music to a car-stereo or home surround sound system (if they feature a 3.5 mm female connector). Also, with the DockMode apps like iBOLT Dock'n Drive, CarHome Ultra, Ulysee Speedometer, can be set as default "home screen" apps. You can also set TuneIn and Slacker Radio as "home screen". Summary: No need for a separate aux-out cable when using the Dock'n Play cable... Great accessory for home or in the car. I'll stay tuned to the conversation if anyone has follow up questions.

So what's so special at iBOLT cable? why I can't use the same cable like attached in the picture in the first thread..
how come no one make cheaper cable thats do the same thing?
thanks.

The cable on the first picture doesn't work with S4. It was perfect for S3 but not for S4

as I far as I know, it's because firmware update, there's no any mod/patch that can override it, and let us use this cable?
iBOLT cable working on S4, but it cost 20$, which is alot for simple cable.. so if their cable works, I don't see any reason why the other cables wont work.
