Hi all guys. when replacing a display for htc one x I happened to break a cable. has been damaged.
The cable in question is called: dock cable.
Can anyone tell me if it only serves to power the phone from the dock station, or is it essential for the operation?
Here Link
I can confirm it does NOT affect the screen/touch functionality. Not sure about wireless connectivity as I haven't tested it.
Most likely you'll only lose docking if you leave it disconnected.

I ripped the same cable nearly in 2 last night. After a bit of diy I got it back in place and together.
Even if my repair wasn't successful my phone is working correctly

Just wondering if anyone knows the pinout for the 5 contacts on the back so i could make myself a speaker/charger dock until an official one becomes more available.
I've wondered this myself. After running a meter across the pins. Pins 2&4 seem to accept a voltage pin 5 is a ground I think. I feel through a guesstament that it follows the USB pinout in flat lateral form.

Usually I would literally just test each pin to see what was what but obviously being an expensive phone and canceling my insirance I do not want to short anything out, and yes it seems logical for one of the end contacts to be a ground, did you put a voltage into pin 2 & 4? If so how much?

I've been getting read to cut an older USB cable and test that way. But I used 4.4 volts. I to don't want to kill the warranty by ripping the phone apart. After I cut the USB I'm going to make a jig and do tests. If I find anything out I'll post here.

It's the micro USB pinout in pogo form..
1. 5vcc
2. Data -
3. Data +
4. Audio out mono
5. Ground.
Left to right pinout with the camera facing your left shoulder.

Thank you, I shall post a pic of homemade dock when I have the time to make one.

Ok. I tested. Connected HTC ONE X to lab power supply (5V 1A limit) and after a while (2-3 seconds) is started charging and 0.44A was flowing into phone. It was almost fully charged at the time.
Does anybody know how to get audio out on audio out pin?
And why Data - pin has 1,8V in reference to ground at all times?
edit:
Ok. I measured again. 0.44A and phone goes to charging (USB). I don't have time today to see what happens if you connect Data + adn - pins...
But still no luck with audio.

can you do USB OTG out via POGO?

i wonder that too, "4. Audio out mono" is this really correct ? or is it the yellow identifier in a normal micro usb

hey guys you can check this site out http://techno-fix.com/ . i found my pinout searches there. there are very usefull things
hey guys i just had this thing in mind...many a times my hands get a bit sweaty or its very habitual for me to kinda use the phone wid wet hands..
can the contact with the docking pins cause any issue?
My skyrocket has been having difficulties charging. I find that I have to lift the cable higher than the phone itself (so as to create some kind of upward pressure on the port) for it to charge, or else it won't charge at all. The cable also feels really loose when I try to plug it in.
A friend of mine has a portable HD cable that I borrowed for a while, and it seemed to fit really snug and had no problems with charging at all. Maybe I should get another USB cable? Which cables have you guys found to work really well? This is all very frustrating.
What should I do?
My cable is a bit loose also and sometimes while using it it will charge then disconnect over and over again. I use my cable from my atrix and it works just fine. But I am sure any cable would work fine. As long as it plugs in.

I bought the DigiPower SP-PKAND Power Kit for Android for $30 and all my problems are now solved. I feel like my phone is all alive again. Honestly, I feel so free now, the feeling is amazing. Best product I have purchased for my phone.

I am installing a tab 2 7 as a permanent fixture to my car dashboard. I would like to charge the tablet in ac mode when the ignition is on and, trickle (USB) charge while the ignition is off.
As well as saving my car battery, this will also be my trigger for tasker to activate / deactivate the display.
My question is this, if I use a relay to short the two data pins on the USB cable will this switch to ac charge mode.
An alternative may be to use a standard Car charger and use a relay to break the continuity in the middle cores when the ignition is off

Yeah thanks I had already read this, although it is still unclear what is actually going on

I'm going to be attempting the same thing with a Droid X I'm using as a DVR in my car. Any updates? According to this, once AC charging is initiated, removing the short will not revert the charging mode back to the lower rate without interrupting the connection.

I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. But this sounds like it may put a spanner in the works. I may have to rethink

I'm still waiting on the boat from China for my parts, but had an idea in the meantime. Perhaps a second relay to simply interrupt the +5V wire (and a capacitor to add even more of a delay?) would do the trick. I'm no EE, but it seems like this may do the trick.

The basic principal doesn't work anyway. No matter if the d cores are disconnected

My new plan is to switch in a resistor to trick the Tablet into thinking it's docked. Then use this to trigger events in tasker

@KrisPerry - Can you elaborate more on how to accomplish this with the Galaxy Tab 2? I have seen threads on how to do this for the S2/S3 with the micro USB connector, but nothing for the the Galaxy Tab 2. I would be very interested if this works for you.
Cheers!

Ok first I ordered the breakout board from http://www.podgizmo.com. this allows components to be soldered directly to the relevant pins.
I simply used a 33 and a 10ohm resistor to give approx 7.5 ohm resistance. When the ignition is started a relay switches the resistance across the deviceID pin. The Tablet then thinks it has been car docked and subsequently runs a specific tasker profile

@KrisPerry - Brilliant, this is exactly what I have been looking for. Do you already have this working? Just to confirm, is the deviceID pin you reference pin 13 (ACCESSORY_ID)?
I'd love to learn more about your setup if you have it documented somewhere (I didn't find anything on XDA).
Cheers!

Correct, between pin 13 and ground. I have it working on the bench. Next step is to test in the car before installation. I'll maybe document the whole process once completed

I noticed today that my charging port seems to be loose. I've never dropped the phone or had any other issues with it. But I noticed that my phone was on the charger and not charging. I then moved the connection slightly and it started charging again. If it gets moved at all it doesn't charge. So two questions:
1. Does anyone know if AT&T warranty will cover something like this? I called and got a really generic answer so I might just have to go into the store... blah
2. If it isn't covered in the warranty, does anyone have any idea where to buy a new port and/or how to fix it??

That sounds like user damage/wear and tear which is not covered AFAIK, unless you got the add-on insurance.
I've only had the phone for about 20.days and I'm always really careful with my phones. I'm going.to take it in the store to see if I can get a warranty replacement... I'm probably not even going to unroot or anything lol. wish me luck.
Have you tried a different cable....the ports can get damaged, but it's typically the cable end that wears and it seems like its the port

I can confirm this...just happened to me , new cable did it...
I tried another cable almost immediately and it was still not working. But I found an old kindle usb chord and tried it... the connection is nice and tight. I had to modify the case I put on my phone so the kindle chord would fit but now it works great and the chord is almost twice as long as the original HTC chord!
worked a treat

Thanks for this, worked a treat ... grabbed an old water cam cable. :good:
Can anyone recommend an htc one x car charger with a long cord? My connection port is inside my center console and its pretty deep in it.I am getting a mount for the dash and I need a charger that will be long enough to reach. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Buy one with a usb port and use a usb cable of your choice

Interesting point, that route may be best, thank you! Edit, could you clarify exactly how this would work? Sorry, kind of a noob.

Get one of these (or similar).
Then use the USB cable that came with your phone, or try something like this.
I use a usb extension cable with my phone. It works great.

I have a OEM HTC car charger and the cable is quite long. When I stop by the house I will post pics. I tend to use that cable more than the OEM wall charger that comes in the box.

Here is the cord with the cable.
Please take note that I wrapped the charger 5 times. Couldn't place the cable on something to show the length so I wrapped it.
