Hi,
Does anybody know if, by using this adapter, you can use a normal mini-USB cable for synchronization?
What I want to do is to be able to connect a normal USB cable, to my Jade, and do the sync without the original cable.
Can I use this adapter for doing this job?
Thanks!
You can use any mini USB cable to sync your jade. It doesn't need to be the original one, I don't think I've even unpacked the HTC one that came with mine.
I still have a problem.
Looking over the internet, I saw that there are two variants:
1. With miniUSB connector at the end of the adapter

}
2. With extUSB connector at the end of the adapter.
So? What is the difference. Why there are two variants, both of them called A300.
What I want is the first variant. I want to use a normal mini USB cable, not an extUSB cable, like the HTC provided in the box.
So, can you help me?
Hello?
Tap tap, is this thing on?
Can you hear me?
You can use any miniUSB for sync, you dont need any adapter.
The HTC extUSB connector is just because htc use the usb for the headphone connector as well.
The only time you need extUSB is when your plugging in headphones/speakers.
Yes, I know, I found out meanwhile. I was just wondering why the adapters are different.
And, I found that The first one is YC A200 and the second one is YC A300.
Thanks anyhow!
Wow, that's great! I just plugged in a generic miniUSB cable and it works! Thank you.
So does anybody know the difference between the 2? I would like to know myself...
YC A200 and YC A100 were replaced by YC A300. Don't know the technical difference though. At first glance it looks like the new one is backward compatible.
Those 2 adapters in the post above look IDENTICAL to me. The usb on the back is for charging and the usb on the side is for audio.
I am going to order a HTC YC-A300 because I bought a FM transmitter for my touch pro and the stupid ass thing DOESNT charge the phone with its power supply.. If I would of known that, I wouldnt of bought the dayum thing because I already have a 3.5mm fm transmitter.. Now I have to buy the HTC YC-A300 anyway, just so I can charge my phone and use the FM transmitter.
For others that are thinking about buying a FM transmitter for your HTC phone, just be sure you know what you are getting.
****. lol
Attenuation issues
I use the YC A300, but find when using USB headsets, the volume is severely attenuated. Is this normal?
The USB headsets normally work great, but I like to be able to charge my phone without abandoning the headset.
Do you experience a large attenuation when using a USB headset with your YC A300?

can i use a regular mini usb cable to send files to my phone and or trickle charge it from my computer if my charger isnt available.
i know this seems like kind of a retarded question but the mini usb that came with my phone i lost.. and i know that the end looked a little different then a regular mini usb.
thanks
Yup, I am using a generic one to transfer files. It is recommended to find one with a choke on it but I have used both. The choke looks like a bead or a barrel in the cable near the one end.

what exactly does the choke do?
where have you seen this recommendation?
The "choke" is just a ferrite bead that stops electro-magnetic leakage from the cable so it doesn't interfere with other electronics. I usually cut them off to make a lighter and easier cable to route around my work areas.
look around, you will see the recommendations whenever someone is flashing a rom or working around the inner workings of Android. If your just transferring pics and stuff no big deal, only when you really care about the quality of data will it matter

Umm, the one that I got with the phone wasn't mini-USB. It was extUSB. miniUSB works as well but I find it harder to insert so I just use extUSB. I tried some miniUSB cables that have two of those magnetic protections. extUSB also sits very good in the socket.
My camera, my old cell phone, my G1, and my BT headset all use the same mini USB plug and I use them all interchangeably without any ill effect. I prefer to use the one that came with the G1 at my house while making themes and doing lots of flashing but I use the other ones too for the same things and have never had an issue.
I know the dock will have 2 full size USB ports. But honestly I'd rather just have a little adapter that I can plug into it.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 will have one so hopefully Asus or another brand will produce one to compete!
Would something like this do the trick?

Oh gawd! With this delay and endlessly searching for release times, I forgot about that
How about a dual Female A USB adaptor
Amazon: USB 2.0 Adapter Female A- Female A
...plugged to the cable adaptor that comes in the box?
The cable also has data connectivity for data transfer, it probably should do the trick.
I believe the HongKong electronic shops would come to the rescue. They are known to produce many useless converter before. I don't see why not this time. Probably straight from ASUS connector to USB.
I posted something on on Asus' Campus Life. Please his reply to it and respond requesting this accessory! Look for username Dean.
http://campuslife.asus.com/index/1947/official-eee-pad-transformer-unboxing-video/#comments
Check this out:

I hope they make something similar to the hinge on the keyboard dock, so it can actually latch on and has the two usb's and the SD slot, it would also make a nice grip when using the tf vertically. From the pics, what they have so far looks like it's going to stick out a lot and with something that big there is definitely more of a chance it will get knocked out and possibly damage the port.
Dont we have to have usb host support first for the transformer and dont we have to wait for honeycomb 3.1 for that?

Doesn't look so. And some people reported that Female A - Female A adaptors work for some devices (those that have their own power source probably) - there is a thread about it somewhere in this forum. I tried it but my pendrives nor mouse didn't work (there is probably no power line in the USB cable that is used for charging and connecting to computer).

Any ideas on release date to the USB adapter ? Pete
Is there a cable for the prime for USB host? I want a USB port but so far I can only find cables for the Galaxy tab or for micro USB ports. I don't want the keyboard dock, I have my laptop for computing. I just want a cable for it. So far I can only find the Asus dongle for the TF101(compatible right? Same proprietary port?), but that's only for an SD card, not a USB-female port.
Do you mean this? If you need to hook up a usb device to the prime, you need a dongle like the one below.

good question, i was looking at picking one of these up so i could use my ps3 controller with my prime's included charging cable.....
http://www.amazon.com/HDE-Female-5-Pin-Male-Adapter/dp/B002S7PS8M
USB female to mini-usb male.
would this work and do i really need to shell out for that box, i just don;t understand what exactly it does, i think for what i'm trying to do it should be fine, i could see the issues when trying to use a usb hdd as i could see more drivers needed to even access the data from the drive....i would think a ps3 controller would just show up....any suggestions or buying some extra box to carry around 100% necessary....

Bought this last week thinking the same thing.
Does not recognize devices. Something is weird about the dock cable.
I was trying to pair my PS3 controller, I ended up doing it with the keyboard port instead.
On a somewhat related note, I dont recommend you buy the item at that link. I ended up chucking mine out because it was too loose to hold the cables in... and its mustard yellow...eww
I've yet to confirm this myself, but I believe the dock connector uses different pins for "USB Host" (ex: plugging in a controller to the tablet) and "USB Device" (ex: plugging the tablet into a PC) modes. Using a USB Female-Female adapter, as others above have proven, will not work.
Wait...I spoke to soon, the link above is useless. It's backordered and I can't find it anywhere else. Anyone have an idea?
I got mine from microcenter, in tustin, ca. There might still be one there. And yea I first tried a female to female adapter on the usb charging cable it came with and no dice. However this adapter does work. Plugged my 360 controller in and played some shadowgun.
I think there's already a thread with a shopping link to the cable, just the "search this forum" option glitches out on my Rezound.
Anyway, I'm fed up with standard micro USB cables coming loose while charging this thing(especially while driving & using the phone via AUX on head unit to play music).
Can someone post a shopping link to the original cable that comes with the Rezound
Please do not post a regular micro USB link as I've already gone through multiple ones that were 'snug' at first but eventually loosened up.
Thanks!
Search for EXTMicro USB. There is no such thing as an MHL cable.

Oh but contraire, MHL stands for mobile high-definition link and its for hdmi out

MHL is a standard for transmitting, not hardware. It works over many different kinds of cables, including Micro USB.
So I repeat, there is no such thing as an MHL cable. There are MHL adapters, but they use . . . MicroUSB or EXTMicro USB.

Just trying to clear the air about that. A lot of people really seem to prefer the solidity of the EXTMicro connector and it's going to be a lot easier for people to shop for cables with them if they know the correct name.

That does not come with an EXTMicro connector. So while the charger is the same, the MicroUSB is not which is what this thread is about.
http://www.amazon.com/ExtMicro-USB-12Pin-DC-T500-HTC/dp/B0050JE78W - I've not tried this one yet. It is less than the next one not when you add shipping.
Below are images of a ExtMicro and a normal MicroUSB connector

Does anyone know if there are USB microphones or headsets for the Rezound? I've looked online, and haven't found any that list the Rezound as being supported.
I'm working on a mobile dock for my car, and have the solution to get audio and charging from the single dock solved, but I would REALLY like to be able to have an audio input going through the usb as well. Otherwise, I'll just have to use a splitter plugged into the headphone jack.
We don't have USB host support yet, and even if we did it would take some crazy developing to get a driver and make a microphone work.

Thanks for the update. Essentially, this is what I'll have in my car. I may decide to fabricate my own dock instead of buying and modding one, but the concept is the same. I have an aftermarket radio with an RCA Aux input on the back, so I'm going to make/mod a car dock to sit in the empty pocket under the radio and connect to the aux in to serve as audio for GPS and streaming media. Charging portion will be connected to an isolated 12v step down converter to help avoid ground loops:
Here is the next project, to go in the accessory pocket under the radio.

So you want to use the MHL to play movies in the car?
Nah, I don't really care about that. It will mainly be for GPS and internet radio. I compete in sound quality stereo competitions and have some rta software on my phone that I use for tuning. I wanted the audio input to be connected to a mic cable that I can tuck away when not in use. Using the splitter isn't a big deal, but it would have been cool to have everything interface through one connection. I think its retarded that some HTC android phones support it and others don't.
The Rezound doesn't output audio over MHL, I am not sure if it is adapter related, or hardware related.
The sites for the adapters claim they do, and here's a forum writeup on them
