[Q] USB Headset or Microphone for Rezound? - HTC Rezound

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.

Monoprice MHL HDMI Adapter for HTC Rezound
For only $8.82 each when QTY 50+ purchased - Premium Micro USB to HDMI® MHL Adapter - Black | MHL Adapters
HDMI to RCA Cable
NEW HDMI To 5 RCA Handy Component Video Audio AV Cable, Laptop CPU Fan Shop
12v to 5v Isolated Step Down Converter for power
SD-25A-5, Mean Well SD-25A-5

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
http://htcpedia.com/forum/htc-rezound/3931-mhl-adapter-hdmi-output-htc-rezound.html
Here's another good troubleshooting thread. I'm running skyraider rom, so the sense should work like stock for this, provided it does work. You have me all nervous now

HTC Multifunctional Adapter YC A300

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?

Proprietary to USB-female?

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.

That's exactly what I meant, thanks! And sorry about that, fixed.
No problem
Would something like this work with the charger/data cable that comes with it?

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.

Black MHL To HDMI HDTV Adapter OTG Card Reader Connection Kit

Hello Guys,
I don't know is should start this thread or not, just thought i should share this amazing device.
Black MHL To HDMI HDTV Adapter OTG Card Reader Connection Kit
It let you connect to HDMI without external power, also if you use external power you can use HDMI and USB hard drive at the same time, it is just really really amazing, Sammy has really improved their MHL and OTG support.
Note: I am using this device on my Note 3 N9005 I am not sure about other devices

Only £6.59 free postage from Amazon, just got to way couple of weeks to get it delivered, but its worth it
Black MHL To HDMI HDTV Adapter OTG Card Reader Connection Kit
Mhl 2.0?
Iv been dealing with these for about a year now. From my s3 to my note 3. With the s3 it's 2.0 so you have to provide external power but these things are the tits when it comes to the note 3 with 3.0 you can run USB and HDMI without power. I play games and use it for work with all wireless accessories it's awesome. Supports 1080p at 60hrtz. We sell them in our repair shop and on Ebay. Not often though as "normal" people don't see the capabilities of this lol.
Go buy one their awesome.

Is there something like this that has a port for charging? I wanted something like this to hook up to a monitor or an HDTV so I could play my emulators on a big screen.

It's not immediately apparent, but the device pictured (and others like it, one of which I have) do have a port for charging: the micro usb. When I got mine it took me a minute to realize that, then it hit me that power would really be the only use for that port. So I plug one of my Sammy charging cables into it during use.

Oh, derp. I didn't even see the small port there, looked like a small microSD card slot. Thanks for pointing that out!

No, there is no such thing. MHL is a digital standard, all the things you each want to connect to are analogue.
You are trying to put diesel in a petrol car, it just won't work.

Yes you can actually convert digital to analog by using an active converter, but that is somewhat expensive and unless you absolutely want to use it it's useless. Link here and also you will need a female to female adapter here for it to work. I have not personally tested but it should work (in theory).
Err, no. There is no MHL to VGA connector for the S3. You've found HDMI equipment, which uses the same plug but would ignore the signal -like plugging an S3 into a HDMI TV that doesn't have MHL, nothing happens.

How about this ? First, you are wrong abut the TV. No TV in existence has MHL. MHL is a standard for MOBILE DEVICES, not TV's
a HDMI TV that doesn't have MHL
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so any adapter from HDMI to VGA that is active will work. Please do a bit of research before you post :good: . And then from VGA to SCART or RCA you will also need another adapter.
Lol, the op wanted to connect a mobile phone to a t.v.so yes, MHL is required in both the phone and the tv.
Relax, chill.

USB/HDMI hub that works without a cover (Found)

I tested all the ports while connected to a Tab S4 and they all work including plugging in an ethernet adapter. This hub does not give the error "Close cover to run DeX" so the Tab S4 tablet does not need a keyboard or book cover to operate with this hub.
I have two ethernet adapters, both work when directly plugged into the S4 however only the 10/100 adapter works when plugged into the hub, the 1000g adapter lights up but does not work. I assume that the faster adapter requires more power than the Samsung adapter can provide.
Is there a Samsung certified power adapter with more capacity than the one that comes with the Tab?
USB C Hub HDMI 4K,7-in-1 Type-C Hub,with Power Pass Through,4K HDMI Output,TF SD Card Reader,3 USB 3.0 Ports,Aplomb Type c Splitter Adapter
Here is my DeX setup and everything used is listed in this thread aside from the monitor
As stated above, here is the compatible hub. USB C Hub HDMI 4K,7-in-1 Type-C Hub,with Power Pass Through,4K HDMI Output,TF SD Card Reader,3 USB 3.0 Ports,Aplomb Type c Splitter Adapter
Ordered this Ethernet adapter and it works great with the above hub. Anker 1g Enet adapter
I just received this stand for $10 on Amazon, great quality stand and much better than I expected. I decided to put the tablet on a stand for three reasons. First, it takes up less space this way, second, it allowed for a stree-free USB connection, and lastly, because I have DeX set up to extend my mouse off the right side of my monitor onto the left side of the tablet so I can use my mouse on the tablet as well.
I'm using a Logitech keyboard that I had, it's the 2.4ghz kind and the Logitech Unifying receiver is plugged into the hub.
The mouse is a Microsoft Surface Arc mouse that I bought for use with my Galaxy Bool.
The tablet is a Galaxy Tab S4.
It all works great but I don't know how much use this setup will get once the newness wears off
