Anybody know if this might work?
http://www.jetmall.net/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=304
I don't think so -- the connector on the PDA end looks like a 4-pin microUSB, not the 11-pin ExtUSB that HTC uses.
It's apparently a proprietary connector, as you can see here.
It doesn't match the pins for the HTC ExtUSB connector.

The connector is smaller dude...
anyway, I was wondering if this one may work. Although it doesn't have Audio output, but I think it would work for the video. on top of that it's only $3.53 shipped
Unless I'm mistaken, the white plug would be mono audio. However, I still do not think it would work. Best bet would be to go with the ones for approximately $20.
Cant believe its mono: the cable has 3 Cinch-cables: red and white as usuall for left & right audio channel, yellow for video signal.. as far as i know.. but im sure it wont work with tp

Hi folks,
I used my Iolite the last weekend for the first time in a car (don't have one on my own) and noticed that the cigarette-lighter-power-adapter can't be attached to my Iolite. It has not the HTC usb-plug like my phone but a standard mini-USB jack.
Did i run into a single product package error or do more people have that problem?
hi
i did not check my own car charger but one thing is sure is that u can either plug a HTC usb, or a mini usb 'normal', i use a normal usb cable (mini B is plugged on the iolite)
HTC Usb-Phone port can use normal mini-usb jack
Seriously ?
Sounds weird to me but indeed, i did not try that. It just looked wrong. But I will see if it works, later that day at home. Thanks for your replies.
it is ok, i thought it will not fit and brought it back to the buyer, but the funniest thing although it seem different but it fit to the phone
The HTC Jack is normally for the audio connector. I believe that they supply one USB "HTC" cable, and now they have clicked, use for both PC connection and charging
Everyone is right in what they are saying it makes no difference to the performance of the cable. It just means that you can't plug the audio leads into another Mini USB port
Yes it works as told. I just forgot to write down my feedback after reading those posts here.
i found that with a cab, the audio dongle, and an ipod/camcorder cable you can connect your device to an external monitor. Its been said to work with the touch pro and the Fuze, but for some reason I only get audio when i plug the correct cables in and run the cab....any suggestions...i have an ipod video cable and an camcrder video cable

-Your answer (ie, use the right cable for the job ) is already in the 'Accessories' forum

since the manufacturer did not have to abide by any iso standards for this proprietary tvout, they can cross the a/v cables any way they wish. It just turns out they went the Apple way, and so the iphone's 3.5mm av cable will work perfectly ($4-5 on amazon).
alternately, if you have the standard 3.5mm camcorder cable, you'll have to switch the colors of the rca plug order, works just fine on the Fuze. Plug in Red to Yellow input, the Yellow to the White input, the White to the Red input. From this Fuze post:

dont buy an ipod cable if you have a regular camcorder cable it will also work! then u can have Tv out for $0.
only thing you have to do is use the adapter that came with the Fuze plug in the cable to it and then instead of pluging in the Yellow to the Yellow and so on, you plug in Red to Yellow input, the Yellow to the White input, the White to the Red input.
=) tada.
also don't forget to download the EnableTvout.cab
you will need it.
Let me know if this works for anyone elso, it def. worked for me

Not able to...
I have a zune av cable that is identical to the ipod ones and it will not output video on my TP2 but it will do audio. i tried switching around the cables to see if it was outputing on the wrong color but it isnt. i downloaded the cab and from the programs it seems to be working but in reality it isnt doing anything other than audio. Any ideas on how to fix this other than getting the real htc cable?
same problem
i have an Ipod video out cable, and all i get is audio, even when i switch the wires around....heres the cable I have http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...cable&lp=3&type=product&cp=1&id=1134703394661

Your Doing it WRONG!!
Please Explain
please explain to me what it is that I am doing wrong
are you using the Ext-USB converter? and plugging the 3.5mm AV cable to it?
sure am...im using the audio dongle thing that came with it and the cable posted in the link above + the cab file
Why go to all the hassle, just buy a TV out cable. Mine cost about £15 which is nothing. It's a fairly simple cable with Video on pin 6 & Video Screen on pin 8. Audio is on 7 & 11 with screen on 5 and 10. The only hassle I have now is antenna for the radio, pin 9. With this pin connected the Rhodium assumes a headset is plugged in and disables TV Out.

Ya have the real deal coming in a few days. Wasnt worth waiting for a potential cab that would work.
I have a differnet question... I have the usb to rca video and 2 rca audio outputs.
When I plug it in it disables the internal speaker and I can not figure out how to get it working without unpluging the a/v cable but I do not want too..
I want to use the T2 with a 3com mini projector and use the speaker in the phone with it.. Anyway to do this, or is there a Video only cable, I looked and did not see on.
If anyone is keen , or if you are like me and have a spare headset from another phone you can use the following diagram and cable colour code to make your own video out cable.
I have used the Raphael cable for this excercise as I like my old Hermes one better.
You will need:
One Red White and Yellow RCA Cable
Step One. Remove pin four from the extUSB plug. *note this can be tricky but is necessary to allow the device to recognise the cable as a TV out cable as opposed to a Headset cable. I used a needle to bend into the middle of the plug and then used a tiny micro screwdriver to bend backwards and forwards until it broke. Be careful not to damage any of the other contacts. Please see post 20 for an easier option that doesnot involve removing pin 4
Step Two. Cut cable as close to mic piece as possible and remove outside cover.
Step Three. Solder the following pairs of cables together using the following codes:
Video positive (Yellow RCA end) --> White pvc coated cable (extUSB end).
Video sheild (Yellow RCA end), --> blue copper cable (extUSB end).
Audio Left (White or Black RCA end) --> green copper cable (extUSB end).
Audio Right (Red RCA end) --> red copper cable (extUSB end).
Audio Sheild ( both Red and White or Black RCA end --> copper cable (extUSB end), * note the copper cable is the sheild wire that surounds all the coloured wires.
The last two colored copper wires
Step Four. wrap electrical tape around the solderd wires so that they do not touch any of the other contacts.
Step Five. Plug in and play.

I am unaware if this works with all devices as I only have a Raphael to test this on. If anyone does find that their device works with this cable let me know and I will post it with this post.
I think the device must have the TV out function cooked into the Rom or maybe there is a registry hack?

This is awesome. I was just going to buy one to. I think this should def be a sticky.
Thanks for sharing this! I I will try to make one from a 3.5mm adapter.

Let me know how that works cause i was going to do the same.
i found a similar post on ppcgeeks a while back. Took me about 30 min to remove the 4th pin...i used a safety pin- someone at ppcgeeks offered that advice. Works like charm. But f you have no patience, buy it on ebay.

Please note that the mini USB must have contacts on the inside of both the bottom and top. the average mini USB sync cable does not have the necessary contacts.
this is such an awsome mod, im going to try this out. lol
i removed the pin 4 as stated in the picture but the cable is not recognized as a TV Out cable and no longer is recognized as a headser, i made sure i didnt damage any other pins besides the number 4.
another thing is that i only want video i dont care about audio does the TP sense that is conected or can i just solder the two wires required to get video?
excelente post BTW
EDIT:
Does the TV out only outputs certain content or can any content can be shown on the TV
i have a 7" monitor in my car and i wanted to use this monitor to display GARMIN as its bigger screen.
im gonna answer myself
any content can be seen on the TV.
yes it does have to be conected to the TV and the TV has to be ON in order to detect the signal.
also make sure the pin is completlly removed all the way to the bottom.
IT WORKS !!!!!!
thanks one again, excellent post.

sorry, but I am curious on this unanswered question...
Works great! Finally some use for the old, spare headphones and a/v cables I had laying around.
i imagine it would work on all htc devices that support tv out, but that is just a wild guess.
It is work on HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris)???

This will work with any mini USB plug that has internal contacts on both the bottom and the top (see Step One.JPG in first post). The colour of the wires may vary but I would imagine that there would be a standard colour code for all earplug cables made by HTC, however these may vary between companies.
Hope this helps.
thanks dude. Could it be done with an ordinary mini usb cable?
I tryed this and it did not work for me so I went to Amozon.com and got the Ipod RCA jack didnt cost much at all. Clean look and dont wast the nice HTC ear plugs but I guess you guys are happy with it but now I need new ear plugs...
I didn't use HTC plugs at all, bought Creative ones + 1 pound adaptor and they are way better than stocks, so yes I'm happy about that mode I've done like.. 10 mins ago?
Had some problems with all operation couse it was quite difficult to find right cables on photo that author attached (of course I really appreciate audible_paradigm work, all that mess was about different colors of my cables).
Anyway, it works veeery good and I'm one step closer to get this phone liked
Ps. You don't have to remove 4 pin in usb cable guys, just install one of the .cabs attached in THIS topic - much easier x]
Big thanks!
Does it have it?
Some sites say the specs do, some don't mention it!
Can't get a definitive answer on that one!
Also, if it does : where can I get a cable?
Thanks guys!
I haven't tried myself, but the iPhone and iPod video do it through the headphones socket. you can get a cable that takes this and makes it a yellow RCA cable. you could try one of them?

Interesting question.
But where are settings for video output?
I'd be interested if anyone can prove this? Re-settings...if this is possible then there could be 2 options.. 1. you will only see the settings when it's in "video out" mode.. or it's auto detected and there are no additional settings (as per audio output... )!
i'm really hoping for this but i'm guessing SE would advertise it to their benefit, and afaik they didn't so my hopes are kept rather low...
I've had a guy telling me that he can use TV out on his X10, using a microUSB-3.5mm adapter and the TV out cable from an N900.
i haven't been able to find an adapter that has the extra connector for TV out to try it.
I've got a 3.5mm jack going to red/white audio connectors. If I put one into the video part of the tv wil it play video or is it down to how its wired in?

I think X2 uses the 3.5 mm port for video out, and they didn't advertise that.
Yeah, they did. There's a button for it on the keyboard too.
I'm wondering if it has the hardware, but the options aren't there yet, and they might be added along with the HD video recording update.
well it definitely doesn't work at the moment.. just tested it. I have a video and mono audio cable (Yellow and Black).. and also a video with stereo audio cable (Red, white and Yellow)
did you try via the jack or with a 3.5mm adapter?
directly via the jack.. cable was 3.5mm "headphone" style at one end.. and phono at the other.
I tried that with a cable from an N900, doesnt work.
Still trying to find a micro usb to 3.5mm with video.
It seems there are some out there for LG and HTC, it's just getting hold of one to test it!
Hmmm this is interesting..

Just in case... Did you try testing with the Red or White as the video? Some companies have their own way of wiring things so that you have to buy their cables. Most people don't think of just swapping the colours around to get it to work and just fork out for the new cable.
There is a tv-out cable for the droid incredible:
droiddog .com /android-blog /2010 /04 /incredible-tv-out-video-demo
I wonder if this would also work on the X10 and when it will be available.
Mod edit: not (yet) accessories related, moved to general
I just tried my Sony Mini-DV Camcorder cable, and it does not work, the camcorder cable goes from 3.5mm to red/white/yellow
