OEM Composite cable doesn't fit in microUSB slot

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)

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:

There's 2 kind of MicroUSB connectors: Micro-A and Micro-B

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.

You can with the other one, don't know about this one but the wire looks offset to make room for the charger plug

Have you guys tried this one?

$22.30
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.

ORZLY USB A to USB C Cable Set

I thought I'd share as they finally got delivered. Still says it will be delivered on the 13TH of next month...
Orzly® Multi-Colour Value Pack of USB 2.0 Type C (USB-C) to Type A (USB-A) Cables (1M) for use with OnePlus 2, Nokia N1 Tablet, Lenovo Zuk Z1, and Other Type-C Supported Smartphones & Tablets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013RMG5WY/
They are USB 2.0, but I know I'll need some spare cables at home, in the car and at work.
The cables are much nicer than I thought it would be for this price. They actually are a beautiful color with a clear surrounding on them as you can see in the pictures. The end all have this really nice speckled metallic appearance. The connectors look like they're pretty well made and nothing feels cheap. I will say the cables themselves are a little floppier that I was expecting but I've noticed this from flat cables a lot more.
Only cost me $19 for the 4 cables. Let me know if you guys have any questions, I'll answer what I can.

I was just looking at these on Amazon untill I read a review some guy said they only charge at 500mA max so idk

They may, but I don't care, that's why they are spares. I've got a few others on the way and one of the dual port ones from Google work the long cable.

thanks these will probably work great for a nice slow trickle charge through usb at work!

That's what I was thinking, when you can't find your good cable and need something to keep it alive, or have to move some files or pictures at work.

I have these but haven't used then yet. They feel very cheap to me. I don't expect more than 500mA. I'm sure they'll be great for a trickle charge until they fall apart. I expect to keep them for that reason only, even if they only last 6 months.

Yeah, I could barely care if I lose one, just a spare. I didn't think they felt super cheap though. Did you get the same colors?

We just got these in my store, ?

I've got them and been using them with my OP2 since launch. What app can I use to check charge rate one you let me know I'll check all of them. I just got in the red and black cable from them and it is thicker and feels like it's high quality I'll do a video this week on it

I'm using a good looking app called Ampere.

Review: USB C Charger, CHOETECH 55W Multi USB Charging Station

I received this product from Choetech recently at a discounted rate, in exchange for my views on it. Here they are:
The item came next day and was very well packaged. The packaging is the nowadays very popular cardboard box containing the hub itself and a USB C to USB C cable. This is a very nice add-on, especially because the new standard is not yet available like the old micro USB one, so that is a welcomed addition.
Opening the box reveals the unit itself in a little plastic bag. It is smaller than I expected, and a stand makes it convenient when put on a desk. The hub itself has a nice satin finish, which gives a premium feeling.
There is a mains adapter which plugs into the back of the unit. When you plug it a blue light comes on which means its ready use.
The hub has 2 USB C ports and 4 USB A sockets. Using the cable which came with the unit, the Nexus 6P and the Nexus 5X both show quick charging, and according to my measurements, the charging times are similar to the original chargers came with the phones.
The hub also charges the iPhone 6 and 6S Plus, the iPad Mini and the Huawei Watch without and problems.
In an environment with many devices, this hub is a very-very useful gadget, freeing up 6!!! sockets.
I will take it with me on holidays as well, so no more power bricks needed, just the cables and this hub.
The hub is reasonably priced, premium quality and works as expected. Highly recommended!

I also had an opportunity to trial this hub. Arrived tightly packaged and neat. I use it on my night table and it has declutered my floor wires. Stays cool charges at high rate and I've noticed no degradation of power ever with all ports in use.
I are with the above review and I would recommend this as a low profile, well designed power hub. I will continue to stress this little fellow and update as needed.

Update: It seems, it charges the Nexus slightly slower than the original charger. I will have to measure it though to be sure.
