Does anyone know if it is possible to run audio out through the mini usb on our HD2's?
Oh, and this is a stretch, but is there a way to run video in to the phone?
THANKS!
hmmm. I was thinking of getting video out onto my TV at home as well.
Micro usb you mean

Yes, micro usb... sorry.
Does anyone know if it possible to run audio out through the micro usb? I was thinking about builing a dock and using the HD2 as the source unit in my car.
I also have a back-up camera, that's why I was aking if there is a way to feed video into the HD2, possibly through the micro usb as well.
Any help is appreciated!

If you are building a dock, why not just include the 3.5 mm jack for the audio built into the dock?
I recently purchased a "ikross USB to HDMI" adapter on amazon, supposedly supported by the HTC Amaze. However, when i plug the adapter in connected to my TV(s), nothing happens on the phone or tv.
Im guessing I need some kind of 'drivers' on the phone to enable this feature.
Also, my problem might be stemming from the fact that i am running Beastmod v2.2.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for these adapters?
Thanks
I don't believe you purchased the rite thing, I was reading and interested in running hdmi from my amaze, I have read most places you need to purchase an MHL converter, that's why the plug on the phone is the funny square shape

Mhl uses micro USB, so you don't need a special port on the adapter.
My guess for op is that it might be the ROM. I use bullet proof, and my Mhl to hdmi adapter works fine.
Final, try making a backup of your current ROM, flash a ROM with sense, and try again.
Edit: Also, this should be in accessories

Huh I figured cause if you look in the port beyond the USB there are other pins I figured it requires a special plug to reach those pins

The port on the Amaze is a proprietary HTC design, called EXTUSB. It allows the device to get more power while charging, but it is also backwards compatible with microusb cables.

I got one of those, and it works IF you also plug a USB charging cable separately into the adapter - thanks for the stupid design HTC.
In order to do the hdmi out can you use a miniusb or does the adapter have to have the extusb?
Edit:
Also if I am reading this right you need a TV with the MHL chip in it for this to work:

I'm confused, where are you plugging it into on the phone? Does microhdmi fit in the extusb port?

All wrong. A simple Google will show you that EXTUSB was the port HTC used in the days of the T-Mo Wing, G1, and myTouch 3G.
The miniHDMI connector does NOT fit the Amaze. I wish I knew what our port was called... I'll report in if I can find it. But I know it's not EXTUSB
I recently bought Cable Matters Micro USB to HDMI MHL Adapter from Amazon. I have had success using it on stock phone, quicksense v3.0.0 and currently beastmod 2.3.0.
Just to set the record clear. The port on the Amaze 4G is called an MHL connector. It's not a proprietary HTC port, but a seemingly new industry standard. Just search wikipedia for MHL and you can read all about it.
Punchline is that you get a single port that can output HDMI and connect via USB in one go. Supposedly with the proper adapter your phone will charge while connected to an HDMI source. You can definitely use a standard micro USB cable on the MHL port if you just need to charge or connect to a computer via USB.
The one I bought, the power cable must be attached.

That's what Mr. Moo is getting at. MHL ports allows simultaneous output and charging; though I'm not sure they both need to be connected for either to work.
In my experience, the MHL with power connected doesn't really charge the phone. My battery still drains slowly while connected. Is that just me?

HTC calls the port ExtMicro USB. It's backwards compatible with Micro-USB plugs (the five leads on the flange you see on the front), but the proprietary plug has 12 pins total.
I was getting intermittent performance with a Micro-USB MHL-HDMI adapter, and had to have a Micro-USB charger attached.
The HTC adapter for the Amaze (and Flyer, and Rezound) is AC-M500, a 12-pin adapter with HDMI-out, Audio-out (3.5mm) and an ExtMicro USB port. I have pics of these on WikiMedia, and in a thread in the Rezound section.
I wish I could tell you what the 7 additional leads do that a conventional MHL-HDMI adapter doesn't ... and HTC isn't talking. (US Tech Support couldn't even confirm the that the port is different, only the recommended adapter.) aLogCat recorded some HDCP messages when I connected the phone with this adapter to a Dell ST2410 24" monitor that's been reported for not supporting HDCP-controlled HDMI video. When I connected my Amaze to a Samsung T27A300 1080P HDTV, it worked fine.

I have same trouble last week. I bought a "usb to hdmi adapter" from Amazon as a cheap price last month. But it can't work. So last week , i got a new hdmi adapter from Hdgenius .Finally it is OK and can work normally. So maybe you can learn from me and get another new hdmi adapter to have a test.
Hey guys,
Was wondering if connecting another phone in mass storage mode to SGS2's OTG cable will work? Anybody tried this? No harm to SGS2, right? If this works with a normal and OTG cable we can have high speed transfers between SGS2 and any phone!!
Never connected another phone, but I was using USB OTG with Philips GoGear mp3 player, worked flawlessly. My OTG is not original cable but some cheap converter plug identical to this one. One thing I noticed is that device like mp3 player tries to charge itself from SGS2 and juice is leaking faster
connected another sgs2 and it worked.... the connected phone was slaved. used stock rom

I think any OTG usage will drain battery, but for a powered device the current might not be sufficient to charge. I wonder how much is the current limitation from a OTG device?

Yay! I am buying a OTG cable.
Good Morning
When I want to connect my droid X phone to my laptop, the cable is usb on one end and micro usb on the other end. So can I use that on my Sony S also to connect to the laptop? or are there different wires inside the cable or something so that I cannot use it, different wattage or amperage or whatever??
As always I am technically challenged LOL
Sandy
The Sony Tablet S uses the standard Micro-USB cable so you'll be able to connect to your laptop with no problems.
It will work for both, given the chip( Mini USB) is the same for both. The cable just carries the current. It is the charger portion that puts out the specific voltages. You are good to go as long as the mini USB fits

Really? This works?
Uh oh. I've tried hooking up my tablet to the PC with a standard micro usb cable. And also with the sony converter that makes it a normal sized USB port and a double ended USB cable. Both of these didn't do anything for me. I've just been transferring files to/from it with the sony converter and a jump drive.
Anyways, let me know if everyone else is normally hooking the tablet to a PC or if you guys are just assuming. Thanks

You should only need the one cable.. The cable I use for my HTC Desire HD works on the tablet and the same with the cable for the Galaxy S II as they are the same kind of cable.
Just connect micro USB, from tablet to PC and it works

Same here. I plug it in with a cheap USB <-> Micro-USB cable and it recognises it instantly and I can copy stuff to and from without even having to mount the storage manually.
Weird!! I tried plugging it in with my normal phone's micro usb cable when I first bought it and nothing happened. I tried again last night and nothing happened.
I just read all your posts about how it will work and I tried again, and my computer recognized it this time.

hello, i bought cradle from ebay and modded it to otg cradle, it isnt best work because i had only big triangle rasp but its working and for playing psx games with psx controller (with usb converter) its working better than Y otg cable because phone is standing in better position.

does your modification support flash drive or even external Hard Drive?
Can i see the picture of your modification?
flash memory yes, hdd i dont know because i havent got it now (but it depends on rom, fat32 will work, ntfs maybe too) and i havent got picture but i used this pinout: http://pinoutsguide.com/PortableDevices/micro_usb_pinout.shtml and this otg guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092493 and connected it like Y cable
Does this work with Sense-Rom?

The one that confusing me is i dont know which hole is gnd, d+, d-, sense, and vcc (as described on the link you gave me).
And i made my "investigation" and i hope i'm right if i think that :
GND = -V
Sense = ?
D+ = -D
D- = +D
VCC = +V

But at least i need to confirm something. Did you make a jumper for GND and Sense by yourself or is it already jumpered as you bought it?
I tried to follow the pinout, the light of my card reader is on but my evo cannt detect the sdcard.

That must be the problem why my evo cannt detect the sdcard. I though it already jumpered. There are 5 pins, which one is GND and which one is Sense?
There are 2 pins on top and 3 pins on the bottom. Is it true that Sense is on top right and GND is on bottom right?
