Hi,
My mini-B usb female connector (for charging and usb connectivity etc) is broken...
I need to find a replacement,
but I don't know what model it's exactly..
I don't what to end up ordering something I can't use :]
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
What is the Make/Model of your phone. Either you can send it to the original manufacturer/vendor if still under warranty or you can order from ebay.First know the maker and model No # of your phone like T-mobile,cingular,i-mate or At&tt etc and model like T-mobile MDA,vario, etc etc,ok
Cheers !
I have mine from www.techcenter.fr
It's an HTC Wizard, Wiza200. (Qtek in fact)
Looking for a replacement USB port for your Apache or Wizard?
Go to:
http://www.mouser.com/catalog/629/979.pdf
You're looking for "D" in the pic's (Mouser Stock No. 538-67503-1020)
I have purchased them, they fit perfectly!
Good luck
bioChaz-
My USB connector is broken as well. Have you replaced one yourself? I want to know how hard it would be to do, because I'm thinking of ordering the part and attempting it.
what about ppc techs. they repair and sell that part.
I've done it a bunch of times...it definitely takes a few trys before u get it right...if ur familiar w/ soldering then it should be fairly easy, but if not...it might be worth paying some one to do it for u...if the pads are ripped from the motherboard then they have to be retraced...that is even harder...then it is worth paying to have it fixed for sure...otherwise, there is always the upgrade
upgrade? i wish. bought mine off the streets. thanks

I knew I'd be able to get this part from DigiKey/Mouser, but I was just never sure which was the right one so I never bothered.
Thanks!
i'm pretty sure the answer's gonna be 'no' but;
can this touch pro tv out cable be used on the touch cruise, i'm assuming not but anyone know if this be hardware and drivers/software or just drivers/software, in which case can we get the appropriate software/drivers from a dumped rom and adapt?
click here
cheers
(sorry for posting accessory query here, but there's hardly any viewers in there!)
YES
Well the Pro has the same Input as TC, so it should be not a Problem to use.
You dont need any special Software, but the Device you want to connect should have Plug&Play Support to recognize the TC.
And if no Plug & Play Support on the TV, you will defitly need a Driver for that, but every new TV has the P&P Support. I dont think that you use a 10 Years old TV

Erm... you've got UDK r9??
are you sure, only you're saying that because the connectors are the same it will, but the touch pro has the same mini usb connector as many devices/predecessors such as TC P3650 and ARTEMIS P3300 but only the latest edition - the pro - is shown on the htc site as having tv out. also
you don't sound as though you're speaking from having tried it first hand.
sorry it's just the cable costs 15-20GBP which is a fair whack if it doesn't

TC has same input as PRO?
We are talking about output here and just about every HTC phone I have used has the 11 pin mini usb plug, so does that mean every HTC has TV out?
If that is the case why has HTC not release the cable before?

Not too mention modern Motorola phones as well as many peripherials, and I don't think it would be smart to assume they have TV out as well when paired with this cable.
anyone with an excess of cash (i.e. rich) - buy a cable and try it please!
Hi Guys,
Please I need help in acquiring a 3.5mm miniusb adaptor for my Kaiser. My supplied HTC ear buds have gone bad and presently can only use one earbud. I have plenty of earphones and Headphones to choose from but they are mostly 3.5mm jacks. I found some on the web but they require paying with paypal which I don't have. I dont know any store in my country where I can get one. Am in Nigeria and cannot open a paypal account unless I go about dubiously. So Please can anyopne help me with any suggestions or ideas. I would prefer an adaptor with mic.
Thanks
I nabbed one of these.
http://www.amazon.com/3-5mm-Stereo-...ie=UTF8&s=miscellaneous&qid=1238655370&sr=8-2
Other suggestions?
Any other suggestions guys? would be glad to have one with a mic. Thanks.
Hi,
I bought this simple thing here. It's a simple adaptor, maybe it would fit your demand .
I am quite sure it's available like everywhere (not only on Amazon).
One with mic and i don't have paypal account

But I need one with a mic or external mic capability also I don't have a paypal account so ebay amazon etc will not do it for me. So any other suggestions XDAIANS.
I went to my local t-mobile store and bought the $10 adapter for the G1 ... it works fine with the Tilt.
G1 adapter is the way to go

Confirmed on that - the adapter has it's own mic and works fantastically with every HTC I've used it on (G1, Kaiser, Touch Pro, & Excalibur).
You can check out this thread. The supplier does take money transfer if that's fine with you .. you can contact them out. I haven't bought any but only checking their website / payment method.
Is reading on the HTC homepage about HD2 specs.
I need one and was wondering about two things.
Does anyone know if standard microUSB means we can connect micro usb
stuff to the phone if we only have the right drivers?
I can think of two accessoars id would like to connect-
-USB handsfree from touch PRO
-some kind of TV out-cable
And there is one question about the digital compass.
will it be like the one that is on the marked now, were you dont have to
have GPS connected?
ps. when will HD get an own section on XDA? after all it is official and all now, and would be better to know were to post this kind of questions. ds.

Straight up, before we even start talking about drivers, there's no way you would be able to phsically connect accessories from the Touch Pro to the HD2 as the Touch Pro is miniUSB and the HD2 microUSB.

Er, I don't quite understand. What do you mean 'like the one that is on the marked now'?
But I can tell you this, a digital compass has nothing at all to do with GPS. The two are completely different.

We have a magnet on TouchHD, why not a compass?
Hi,
Hats off to all the senior friends who are making lives easy for so many of us
I have a very simple question. The stylus which the company gives with the Touch HD is a magnet. Why can't we have a digital compass using it?
Hope it makes sense
Some of the other threads have become quite a mess. I want to start this one, pertaining specifically to this device.
Here is a link to the device on AliExpress:
aliexpress[dot]om/item/2-din-Android-4-1-car-pc-built-in-car-DVD-GPS-Wifi-Bluetooth-Dual-core/1505304660.html[/url]
These are the specs listed:
1.OS: Android 4.1.1 system
2.CPU: Dual Core 1GHz (whatever that means)
3.Memory: 1GB DDR3
4.Nand Flash :8GB
5.USB 2.0 OTG,HOST interface
I purchased this device today, and will update this thread upon it's arrival. I plan on installing it in my 2004 STI and running TorquePro gauges through a USB ELM257 OBDII cable I already own.
I purchased this device because it's apparently dual core and relatively cheap. I also like the button layout on this unit more than any of the other ones. In the description it claims to have a capacitive touch screen and OBD support built in.
Love to know how this works out for ya!
It''s the same as the unit I have - meaning hardware and software, just a different face
Looking at the listing, I think they have the wrong pictures as the buttons are slightly different compared to the one Peter Chan showed me, but we will see when your unit arrives.
This is the thread with relevant information, I agree that other threads are a mess so I have tried to keep the main post updated with important information. There is also a Wiki page.

KID52, I really impressed with your knowledge and understanding this products in good details. Thanks for all your sharing and input, its really useful for me in helping to make decision on which product and which shops to purchase, as i have been looking around for few days.
Back to this topic by mcskeezy, have you received the unit yet? i am also inquiring with the seller "EDO on the same product, because same reason as yours, i prefer the buttons layout, i am right hand driver country.
i am actually asking seller to send me a real picture thru chat in aliexpress, the seller is really helpful, and provided many details. So far the details seem like the unit is like the Peter Chan unit, except the face is different like KID52 mentioned. I ask seller is this unit rootable, he mentioned YES. KID52 - would u be able to comment this can be rooted as well?
I attached here the the real picture the seller just send me :

If you take a look at the thread I linked, there is a root guide.
I would interested to know what the seller's instructions are for rooting it though. Perhaps you can ask them for how to root it?

yes, i have ask the seller to provide, he said he will send me the procedure via email after checking with his engineer, he is not familier but he know it can be done. i will share in this forum once i received the procedure.
I found some unit having a slightly different CPU. Could you comment on this : ?
Freescale MX535D vs CPU MST786
Both are having Dual Core Cortex A9
---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------
More details.. i have been chatting with the seller, again i like to mentioned this seller is very responsive and helpful, answer all my specific questions in great details. Though he is from China Mandarin speaking native, but responses in English is clear and concise.
The back of the unit actually has 2 Female USB, so you could potentially connect a WIFI and 3G dongle at the same time, no USB hub needed.
He will provide root procedure once he has it from his engineer. I have not even order this unit yet !, that why i mentioned he is very helpful.
He even recorded a video in real time and send it to me, i am sharing this video in attachment.
He mentioned majority of these units are having same hardware and software, the variations are at the panel or face plate, so that why we see many different panel or face plate around. But underlying hardware, software, are from same manufacturer.
So i believe i might be pulling the trigger very soon on this unit. In my opinion the video is excellent, i mean the unit. As good as the perter chan video posting.
I think i could not attach video, its 200 MB big. oh this forum even prevented me to provide a link here

The Freescale MX535D came with the older 2.3 units, I think the sellers just did not update the listing. Some listings also state 1.2GHz instead of 1GHz, but really they all seem to come with 1GHz CPUs. Again, pretty much all of this has been discussed in the thread I linked to. It seems fairly pointless having this thread when the hardware and software is the same, just the face is different.
It's odd that unit has 2 USB ports on the rear, I would be interested to know where they are connected to, I thought maybe it didn't have the one on the front, but it does. I've opened up my unit, but cannot see where another USB port would connect to directly.

Isnt the statusbar icon beside the GPS indicator in the second pic you posted the usb debugging icon in Jelly Bean? Maybe this one isnt locked down as badly....
Unit Received
The unit came in the mail today. I've only had time to unbox it, hook it up to a spare 12V adapter I had lying around and test it out.
The touchscreen is miles beyond the previous model I ordered. It is easily on par with any generic tablet/phone. I've included some photos. The unit backplate does have two female USB ports (on cable extenders). One is labeled "USB" while the other is labeled "3G/WIFI". I'm looking forward to getting more acquainted with this thing once I have some free time.
I accidentally deleted the stock button mappings and then did a factory reset.The normal bluetooth settings are not visible as of yet. Once I've got it rooted I'll be trying to run gauges through Torque pro using either a bluetooth or a wired ELM257 OBDII adapter. I'm leaning more towards the wired version as those bluetooth adapters draw a fair bit of power while the car is off. I've attached some photos.
If anybody had a screenshot of the default button maps on this thing I"d appreciate it.

Unit works with USB OBDII ELM357 Adapter
So I went ahead and tried the most obvious thing:
1. Installed Torque Pro from the Play store.
2. Plugged in my OBDII adapter to the back USB port on the unit.
3. Set the max baud rate in torque.
4. Voila, unit recognizes the adapter w/o any problems. Shows RMPs, boost, coolant temp, etc.
Attached are a few more pictures... I'll post a link the the OBDII adapter I used. I would highly recommend this method over using a Bluetooth OBDII adapter, much less hassle.
Unfortunately, I had planned on using Subsonic Music streamer to stream my music from my desktop (over wifi tethering to my phone), but it says in the app store that the App is not supported on this device. Not sure why...

One way to tell would be to compare the output of the System Info app, instructions below. In fact, the part about a picture of the homescreen would also be relevant if possible.
KID52 said:
Also, for completeness, a log from the System Info app if you can (need to download from market, it is free). You can do that by clicking on System, menu, then export system info.
On top of that, if it's not too much trouble, a photo/screenshot of the default homescreen. I am curious to know if different sellers customize this at all. Roadmaster claim to do so, but so far I have only seen two different styles of homescreens. One that has four large buttons per page, which is present in the older system versions, and the newer one that is a bit more standard having four app icons at the bottom (which cannot be changed), and the rest of the screen left for your own widgets and icons.

This is the same thing with a lot of Chinese headunits. The issue is that the device's fingerprint is not officially supported by Google Play. So, there will be various filters, like Copy Protection, that prevent you to install or even list certain programs from Google Play directly. The easiest way around this is to use another Android Phone or Tablet and to download and install the APK to it then copy it over manually to the head unit to install it. You can use a program like ES File Explorer to click on the APK's icon to initiate the install.
Otherwise, if you do not have another Android device then you'll need to use a combination of Market Helper and AppBrain in order to find and install apps from Google Play. It is sort of a hack but it works.

I received my unit today, and i am sure my unit is the same on that mcskeezy is having, as the picture and description are similar. Indeed 2 USB female at the rear, one saying USB, the other WIFI/3G. I am wondering how you power up the unit at home, i wanted to try in out at home but i don't have a computer PSU lying around, would it be safe to use a AC/DC adapter to power the head unit up? Let me also upload some pics
same system info?

if i could power this toy up, i will confirm the system info right away, and would be able to bring this unit discussion to your another tread, just need to confirm its a same system but different face unit, i can see the rear of the unit is also another different with an additional USB female.
Still searching on good way to power this unit up without the PSU or battery method.

If the hardware is the same (which I am fairly certain it is), then the other thread I mentioned contains details of a USB OBDII adapter than works with Torque on this unit, amongst a lot of other valuable information too.

E350 - how can i be pressure by the torque pro stuff, this project is initiated by our fellow member who started this tread. it only caught my attention because the model of this unit it the one that i am setting my eye on to buy, and i have already bought and landed today. So i believe you mean that you are waiting patiently for his post on his assessment of this unit.
my main pressure now is to figure out how to power up this toy outside of my car.
