Is this adapter plug that connects the XDA to the cradle, actually the one that sits in the cradle,
availble from electronics suppliers somewhere?
I want to build a specialized adapter for my GPS mouse in my car. Well I could buy some
simple adapter for 19 Euro or something.
Hello,
I have a couple of questions regarding the compatibility of the TyTN with the following things (didn't find anything relevant with the search option):
1. Can it charge using an iPod charger (the white box in which you put a USB cable)?
2. Can it charge using the car charger that comes supplied with a Holux GPSlim 236?
Thanks!
Jörg
I am able to charge mine with the car charger that came with Holux GPS Slim240.
I've charged mine with anything that has a mini usb port ... charger(s) for my Motorola headphone, cameras, etc ... with no problems.
For top-up charging, pretty much any car charger with a USB port will work. Note however that if your battery is seriously low, some car chargers may not be able to provide enough current to do the job -- the charger should be able to supply at least 1 amp to properly charge a low battery.
Thanks guys!

Hello,
I have purchased the HTC Bluetooth Music Adapter from Sprint (also known as the HTC Car StereoClip): http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-car-stereoclip-audio-bridge-a100.html
I've been using it for about a week now, and the battery has completely depleted for the first time. I noticed that I am not able to charge it using a vehicle power charger . I used the included USB cable, and it charges just fine with several different wall chargers I have lying around. It charges fine from a PC or laptop USB port. But when I try to charge it from the vehicle power adapter, nothing happns.
I have an official HTC dual car charger: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003OQUJRQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00. This charger is rated (like the standard HTC wall chargers) to put out a current of 1A per each outlet. So I don't understand why this Music Adapter will charge via a wall charger, but not a vehicle, and they have the same output, and are made by the same company. I double checked that the vehicle charger works with other devices. It will charge my HTC EVO 4G LTE, my Jawbone ICON bluetooth headset, as well as other friends' phones.
Does anyone else have problems getting their HTC Bluetooth StereoClip to charge? I know it's not the end of the world--I can always take it inside the house to charge it when it dies every few days, but it sure would be convenient to just have it charge in the car overnight without having to remember to tote it back and forth.
Please help!!
Thanks.
Um, I looked at the pictures of this device. When you are in your car, are you plugging your charger into the phones charging port? Not the port on the Bluetooth adapter. Your phone will never charge if you are plugged into the Bluetooth adapters port.
Are you trying to use it while it is being charged? I think i read before that the stereoclip uses the BT to stream the sound, and i've had a few bluetooth headsets that didn't work if it was being charged, and won't charge if you're actively using it (just tried out of curiosity). Only thing i can recommend is to try a single microusb cigarette charger, maybe its the way the charger is wired.

One question that is unrelated to this charging issue: in the bluetooth pairing settings for the stereoclip, does it do phone mode as well as media or just media? My car's headunit does phone and i'd like to see if i can just have each device handle a separate stream.
Hmm. Interesting. Mine charges fine using a rocketfish/best buy car adapter I have and a generic micro usb cable I got from Monoprice. Charging occurs on mine when it's off or on, streaming or not. The adapter and cable also work to charge my phone and jawbone too.
Maybe try change your usb cable or car adapter?

When in the car, my phone sits in the car dock...on the windshield, so yes it is plugged into one of the ports. And I plug another USB cable (from the 2nd port) into the BT Music Adapter. It won't charge. I have to take it inside and charge it from a wall charger.

Okay...I had a spare Rocketfish vehicle charger lying around, and I just went out to the car and tried it. It charges just fine fine!! However, an official HTC vehicle charger with an official HTC USB cable won't charge an official HTC accessory...WEIRD.
So problem "temporarily" solved: I have to have to keep TWO vehicle chargers in the car--the dual HTC for the car dock, and the rocketfish for the HTC bluetooth adapter. This really sucks, and defeats the purpose of me buying a dual adapter. Or, I could just bring the adapter in every 4 or 5 days and charge it inside. It gets about 5 hours of music streaming before it dies. Oh well...
The issue I have with mine is that if I plug it into my Bose soundlink aux port and connect to it, it actually sounds better then just connecting to the soundlink itself. Using the new Apt-x and all.
But I plug it into my car aux in and it doesn't sound any better then my universal one I'd been using on a2dp

The dual charger could be splitting the Amps, I've heard of 2A adapters pushing 2 to one port or 1 and 1 if 2 things are plugged in. Did you try charging the BT adapter without the phone plugged into the second port? The BT adapter probably requires a specific minimum amperage where as the phone will just go into USB charging instead of wall charging mode if under 1A.
I tried every possible combination. And I have verified that it puts out simulataneously 2A (1A + 1A). I connected my EVO 4G LTE, plus a friends original EVO 4G, and they both showed "AC Charghing," which means 1A. And of course, I tried charging the StereoClip with nothing else. I don't get it.

Weird is right. I have a dual output car charger in my other car & it works fine with that one too, with 2 devices plugged in. My dual is a generic one I got from Monoprice.
My only other suggestion would be to find a different dual head charger.
Will this autopair with newer Samsung Galaxy phones? Or just with HTC ones?

It will pair with anything. I use it with my Nexus 7 mainly.
And just as a precaution.. Don't leave this in your car if it is hot where you live.
I had mine in my car, for probably a month. Never used it other then when i first got it to verify it worked. Went to use it again, nada..
Wouldnt charge, wouldnt turn on, nothin. I'm assuming the 100+ degree heat for a month+ destroyed the battery. Sprint provides a 1 year warranty on their accessories, so i was able to swap it out no issue though.

Yes, it will pair with anything. My first HTC EVO 4G LTE (stupid) decided to break, so I was stuck with a Samsung Intercept as a loaner phone for awhile. It will pair with any bluetooth device, however...if that device doesn't support the new apt-X coding technology (like the EVO 4G LTE), the audio may not be as clear, and the connection will likely have intermittent skips (as with the Samsung Intercept).
The phone does not allowed wireless charging after few minutes of wireless charging. I tested on both my built in wireless charger on the car and external wireless charger. Battery in Settings says Connected, not charging. Wonder if anyone else has tested this. USB charging works fine. It's pretty useless if wireless charging can`t function correctly.

I don't have an issue charging wirelessly.
Maybe my car's wireless charger and another wireless charger, both not compatible with Pixel. Did you try wireless charger for car?
No, not in the car. Just used a crap one at the house. Charges slow, but does charge.
