the small USB port that tha supplied data cables plugs into- can someone tell me what that plug is. Its not mini-usb (at least I dont think it is) and I cant for the life of me figure out what it is (so i can buy a spare cable for the office).
Any help would be muhs appreciated.
You my friend are right, it is mini usb. The cable from my digital camera worked.
I dont think it is as when I google (or ebay) mini usb the plug is different.
Does anyone know what type of plug it is- or where I can purchase a replacement?
there are alot of "mini" usb sizes more common are the Mini b size the website below has all the differnt sizes and thier names

Yeah but the connector/ plug from the Gtab isn't on that site. I just want to buy a spare cable but cannot for the life of me find one.

It is just a standard mini usb cable. Look here. Used with lots of cameras, phones, everything.
Here is one example.
http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-2-0-Male-Mi...ltDomain_0&hash=item2c58893979#ht_1932wt_1139
Its just a mini B cable trust me i have one right here in front of me make sure you don't have a Micro b that one is much smaller then the gtabs port and will not work. if in further confusion post a pic of the connector you have and we can tell you what the plug is.
I am such a twat..
thanks guys!!!

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

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.

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.

not sure

"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.
hi does anyone know where to buy a USB cable (like the one that connects to the plug for charging)?
Is there an official one? does that even make any difference?
have tried looking on dealextreme but couldnt see anything
Why not use a standard miniUSB cable, it fits perfecty, although the interface looks kinda different.

Like leper04 said, any standard mini-USB cable will work to charge it via computer USB. Or are you referring to a wall-style charger?
didnt realise any mini usb will fit. the only other one ive got is for the ps3 pad charger that dont fit. isnt the port on the touch a different shape to stop you using a generic mini usb cable?
no even if it's a extUSB then normal miniUSB cables are compatible and works just
fine
mainly because the extusb part of miniUSB can only be used by headset
chargers and sych cables only use the miniUSB part
just tried the mini usb cable from my ps3 and it fits perfect. Excellent! Dont know why i didnt just try it myself before. Thanks for the help guys.

Note that many retractable mini-USB cables can charge, but cannot sync the Touch HD. I have a bunch, all of which do not work. Darn. Of course there are some that can sync, but these are in the minority it seems.
Is the USB cable for the TP2 custom? It does not seem to match any of the other mini usb cables I have and none of the others will fit in my TP2. The cable is starting to come loose at the head (seeing silver fibers coming out). I may need another one soon, any idea where to get them for a decent price?
I use the mini-USB cable from either of my digital cameras or from my old Palm Tungsten E PDA. Works fine.
Yeah, the standard shaped mini usb's will fit. Even though they look different and dont have that strange angle like the stock one that comes with the phone.
I use this one from an 8125 at home and the stock one at work. Both work fine.
Some work, some don't
For some reason about 1/2 of my mini cables do NOT work with the TP2, but I have a couple that do. I'm not sure what the difference is. The TP2 is supposed to work with a standard mini usb cable.
you can find the OEM chargers (the wall plug with the USB cable) on ebay for about 7 dollars
i prefer to use the HTC-shaped plugs since i had some issues with regular mini-B cables being loose and damaging the data port on my Mogul

difference is in little misshape of the mini usb side of the cable, because connectors on phones get easily corroded. little different on pressure on the cable side or micro small difference in shape could make it work or not.
usb-hub used and patented by htc have on female side a small plate with 5pins on one side and 6 on the other, if you plug htc-hub connector you can use all of them, if you plug STANDARD mini usb, it will only connect with 5pin side.
this have the same charecteristic as standard mini usb, it's 2 pins for 5v power, and 2pins for data-, data+. the last 5th one is not used. every usb mini to usb normal cable have to be compliant with standards, which means, there can't be any differences. the other side of usb-hub is for audio video only and doesn't have nothing to do with data connection.
usb cable doesn't need very special shielding, or twisting. no need to waste money on gold inside. any standard usb cable would do. e.g. $1 from ebay. just get two, three different ones and see which works best with your pda.
cool, I just found one on ebay for $2.50. There was plenty there. I tried some of my other muni usb and they didn't work for me.
I have a Gtab that was being used by the head of the IT department of the place that i work. He has lost BOTH the charger and the usb connector. I was going to just go to radio shack and pick up a charger for it but they need to know what the power requirements are for it and i cant seem to find them anywhere. anyone know what the charger out put is stock on one of these? also is there an easy source for the small port that semi looks like micro usb to standard usb cable?
Thanks in advance
Chad
The stock charger puts out 12 V and 2 amps.
Here's a few

There are several other vendors that use the same power adapter with different markings on it. Kodak uses them in their digital photo frames and there are several vendors on eBay if you don't mind it coming from China and waiting a month to get it.
This vendor on Amazon has a few in stock (just the adapter). I bet you can get it overnighted.
Link to Amazon seller
If you do want to search for it on the Internet or in eBay use "MPA-630" in the search criteria.
Also, that's a mini-usb port on the side of the gTab, not a micro-usb port.
It also uses the same charger as the Kodak Photo Frame...
Search the web for "MPA-630 power supply" and you will find a replacement.
Rev
P. S. -- Oh, also, the PC to G-Tab cable is just a standard USB to mini-USB cable like is often used on
cameras, mp3 players, etc. USB on the PC side and mini on the G-Tab side.
I just bought a Universal external charger for my Gtab, but I need to know what the polarity should be, can anyone help me with that?

FYI, the PSAD24 (link above) is NOT a compatible substitute for the MPA-630. Please do not make the same mistake I did by purchasing the item linked above for your gTab, as it has a different connector.
Ecrap website has the charger for $23.95
Forum member itsteve's website electroniccrap dot com is selling the oem power supply and as of yesterday had some in stock. Get on it quick because they sell out quick

No, the "mini" has a mini USB plug, you want micro.
Anything that has a micro USB plug and the magic word "OTG" will work.
If you've got a spare non-OTG adapter cable to kill, have some time and dexterity,
you can even make one yourself by taking the connector apart and grounding the ID pin.
