they only accept payment via bank xfer,but it's better than nothing. anyone else know any other sellers?
Does anyone have the pinout of the non-standard Startrk USB connector?
any other place to get one besides that german site? somewhere we can purchase online please. thanks
The adaptor looks like just what I need. I almost ordered a couple from the liked site, but it all became too hard. My German is just not that good. I have searched all the usual places but cannot find this adaptor anywhere else. Please, if anyone else knows where ti can be sourced (preferebly with payment via credit card) let us all know.

i've tried to search all over internet and found nothing. the only ones available are the HTC made Y cable adaptor which is pretty much overpriced and useless because i want a mini usb+3.5mm jack. even just a mini usb adaptor will do (original HTC made mini usb adaptor available, then again, overpriced). where can i find something like that? any idea guys?
yep, i've searched pretty much the whole internet

! and there's nothing. grr. if it wasn't such a ballache i'd get a spare standard cable and cut it up to solder on a mini usb socket. pinouts can't be that hard - although i'm not sure where i'd get an inline mini usb socket from.
I've bought this one for 3.5 mm jack...works great:
http://www.netimes.com/shop/stereo-headphone-adapter-for-htc-startrek-platform-p-421.html
I've paid with credit card (click on paypal....don't need a paypal account), received it within a week (all the way to Europe....;-).
headphone only though
...no mini USB charge point. thanks though.

yeah, we need something that has standard mini usb
I found a site on how to DIY usb t0 3.5mm jack for audio
http://www.andrewgrant.org/2007/08/24/making-a-35mm-headphone-adapter-for-the-cingular-3125.html
i did some modify of my own . i use sony ericsson headset instead of the one from electronic store because sony ericsson unit have mic and button to answer call. and SMALLER = LOOK BETTER
just open up the sony ericsson mic unit and there is all the wiring label print on the small little circuit board. just follow the tutorial for the wiring code and solder into it.
work great but no volume control , have to control from the phone

Maybe a little bit complicated...but let me suggest...
Take a Female mini usb from an old device (for example). Connect/sold/attach it to a Female standard usb (not all wires needed). Use startreck usb cable to charge
so close its exact
micro usb is the 3125 adapter type
Is this the same connector?

I thought the Qtek 8500 12 pin connector was unique to that handset. Have you just searched for "micro usb adaptor" or do you know something we don't?
If this would work I'd be very happy but I don't think it will.

"A regular micro-USB port would have been better than the proprietary HTC port, but we understand its necessity for the slim shape the phone has"
buy it and try it
quote "A regular micro-USB port would have been better than the proprietary HTC port"
The port on the 3125 is micro usb, the port on say a 8525 or 8125 is Mini usb
I am not saying the adapter will work, only that it is a micro to mini adapter and it should work.
I think its possible to use the same carcharger from the HTCTyTN (Hermes) and HTCTyTNII for the HTC Touch HD. I read somewhere its possible. Somebody any experience with that!

Should, my car charger for my Tilt works fine with the Fuze. It's the same connector. I do believe all HTC products have the same connector.

Actually, its just a simple mini usb connector. My Mitac Mio A701 has the same. I am using the same car charger for Mio A701 and HTC touch HD. I use a Kensington USB charger, for 6.99 euros its yours. Then use any normal usb to mini usb cable...

Unfortunately, it's NOT a standard mini usb connector. HTC has a different connector that very much looks like but isn't mini usb. You can't use a mini usb cable with HTC devices.
Here's a picture of HTC connector: http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2006/09/10/htc_hermes_usb_connector_pin_config , as opposed to the mini usb connector (http://www.accesscomms.com.au/reference/usb.htm)
What's true, though, is that all newer HTC devices use the same connector, so you are able to use the cable from any other HTC device you might have.

You are wrong. With the Touch HD comes an ordinary Mini USB cable.
Charging is done by the pins for normal USB. The ExtUSB additional pins are for a headset only.
this is the one I use and it works no problem .....

The connector is compatible with mini usb. It looks different, but you can still use a normal mini usb connector, trust me, it works
I tried the same carcharger on my Touch that I used for my HTCTyTn, it works during navigation and it works good. But at the same time the battery needed a recharge to. The only thing that regonized was that the device was warmingup, but not extremly.
In the past, sometimes, but not always the TyTn get the same warmingup. But never had an real problem with that.
Is that a normal behavior
Car Charger
Could one of you please advice me, whether I can use the same car charger, (not the usb to mini 11 pin USB cable) which I had for my XDA II, for my Touch HD? I am concerned about the output from the charger for XDA II as I don't know whether it is a 5.0V one, as required for Touch HD. Thank you.

As we said before that Touch HD has a USB connector, and USB is ALWAYS 5.0V!

Will that mean that I can use the XDA II's car charger for this,as that has an usb slot, to which I can plug my HD's USB sync cable? Sorry, if I sound stupid. I am a newbie. Thank you very much for your help.
Hi all,
I ordered an original HTC car charger. Because it had an mini usb which looks differently, I called HTC.
They assured me that this charger was ment for the HTC touch HD and could be used without a problem.
The car charger comes with an mini usb plug.

yes, it means you can...and you can use any (mini) usb cable you want too...easy, isn't it? I use a retractable USB cable.

I'm not sure how you guys use even "official" car charger for HTC HD
Look at those pictures ... this link
http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2006/09/10/htc_hermes_usb_connector_pin_config
shows you HTC Touch HD socket ... it is straight on one end and bevelled on other end. It is extUSB
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=31649&d=1164664052
But standard USB socket (even on official car charger listed on expansys site) is bevelled on BOTH ends
http://www.expansys-usa.com/zoompic.aspx?type=item&i=174221
How you guys charge your HD with "standard" USB ? Do you just force standard USB plug into extUSB socket on HD ?

The HD plug is compatible with mini USB. Yes, on the HD it is flat on one side. Don't worry. You can use a regular mini USB charger. There is no forcing there, just look at the pictures...the connection showed there can take "more" than just mini USB, not less. A normal mini USB is bevelled at both sides. on HD it is bevelled on only one side, meaning you can fit there a "bigger" plug (read extmini USB), not a "smaller" plug
Oh, maybe I forgot to mention. I have a HD, and for the last time, you can use all your mini usb connectors on the HD (I use 4 different ones, at work, in car, at home for charging and at home for sync). They all fit, it is compatible...no forcing!!! End of thread....please....?
I made a video for those who do not believe that a miniUSB can plug into extUSB socket -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n05lUtReubU
I use a genuine htc charger which charges quicker than a generic one from the lighter socket. I believe this is because generic charger is at the standard usb 500mah where as the genuine charges at 1000mah and therefore a quicker charge. Note your power supply (the one which plugs into the wall) supplies 1000mah.
By the way, I've used various cables with my phone and although the connectors always fit no problem, that doesn't mean they actually have worked!
For example, I've tried a power supply for an older Orange SPV and was surprised when it refused to charge my TyTnII!?
I've also had other issues with usb connection to my PC where it will charge from the usb port but will not connect to Windows until I change the cable. The cable that didn't work, works perfectly well with other mini usb devices. This was actually from a Belkin 16-in-1 card reader thing... never had much faith in belkin!!

can you take a picture of your mini USB (assuming you have HD)?
My HTC HD has the special connetor. the regular mini USB does not fit into the HD jack.
The only option I see is to get a generic lighter plug with standard usb jack and connect the proprietary cable and stick it in the plug.
But you still beed another cable (one at home and one in your car)
I had the KJAM and it has a standard mini usb - It does not fit in the HD.

I think it would be better if you show us a picture of your mini usb plug, the one that does not fit. That makes more sense than us showing a "regular" mini-usb plug that fits in the htc extusb, which is backwards compatible with mini-usb.
btw, did you watch the video from salcho? that says more than pictures I guess. Please, make a picture of your mini-usb cable and show it to us here.

Hi guys,
I was wondering if it is possible, or if there is an adapter to connect a USB stick / drive to my htc touch cruize?
Example
Please let me know if I am thinking correctly before I ruin my smartphone.

It is not possible. Polaris cannot be used as USB Host - you cannot connect USB devices to it. You can only connect Polaris to PC using USB cable.
But, why don't you just buy a small adapter, that way you can put the micro sd in a USB adapter and voila, you got your fully loaded USB stick! Sandisk includes them with their micro sd but these are UGLY...

Don't know sure for HTC Polaris, but I saw in one Russian and Chinese forums that they did for RoverPC and Amoi as USB host.
Hi,
Do I have to use original USB cable to transfer data to/from my Hero? I tried my USB mini cable which I use with my digital camera and other devices, and Hero started to charge it's battery, but didn't display any notification about possible file transfers. Also dmesg on my Ubuntu doesn't show any connected USB device. However, it works with original HTC cable, but it's quiet short.
You need the original cable. Sorry :-(
No you don't. A normal USB to Mini USB cable works fine.

So, why mine doesn't work? As I said, the cable works fine with my camera and MP3 player.
all generic usb cables i have used so far (at least 6, maybe 10) have worked fine. charging, file transfer, adb worked.

Whilst you don't need to use the supplied USB cable, this part of your statement is *incorrect*. There have been many, many, examples here on these forums where people have had to switch to using a different cable in order to get a PC to recognize the Hero correctly.
My advice to anyone having such an issue is to try a variety of different cables, even if the cables you are using work with other devices.

Dave
So I'm using DJ Steve's 1.9.1 rom and was thinking about doing a clean install and was thinking maybe I should give the USB hosting a go.
I was wondering if anyone has tried just using the normal Dell cable and attaching a usb female to female adapter/cable and then whatever USB device on the end?
Does this work or is it possible to change the wiring of a usb extension cord so that I don't need to hack into my Streak cable.
Cheers

Dear Sir,
we confirm dell OTG cable it's workable!
we already selling our otg cable in aliexpress.com,
i soon upload the OTG cable usage for all our friends who use dell mini 5.
Do you manufacture/design them?
Any possibility of a dock port to usb mini or micro female port so you can use a standard charging cabler/car charger with it?
Do you have the pinouts to the dock connector? I know it's been posted before, but a firsthand list would be more reliable.
sure sir, we confirm dell mini 5 OTG cable works, it's support your U disk ， mouse， keyboard, and movable-harddisk, beleive me, i sure will upload a post here, can contact me my email: [email protected]
hehe i will upload photo here assp.
