Hiya all - I have one of those car chargers/fm transmitters that work with all USB cables. I used to use it for an iPhone. With iphone, when you plug the device, the ipod would automatically send the music over the USB cable to the actual charger/transmitter, thus allowing me to listen to the music via car stereo speakers. Is it possible to do the same with Nexus One (trying just straight on didn't do the trick )
Thnx
USB does not have contacts/wires to transmit audio. There is only power and data. You are confused

Well that might be true, but it totally works with iPhone
Most likely because it's an iPhone accessory and the iPhone has drivers for it which android doesn't.

If you get/have a head unit that has a USB port you can use your phoene and charge it if you mount the phone as a USBdevice.... ive done that with my G1 and it works... Other than that i dont know of any device for the N1 or any usb type device that does that....
Yes, you are confused. Normal USB doesn't transmit audio.
You want one of these

I plug my phone into my car (if your car has a standard 3.5mm aux port like mine), and play music perfectly fine. 0 software required.

USB is better, but NOT through FM FM is rubbish compared to jack cable.
I think he is talking about where the head just plays whatever files you have though the usb.
I don't have a unit that will read a usb mass storage.
Has anyone tried the N1 with such a system? (I'm guessing it might with it mounted)
LGU
If you have a car radio that can read from a usb storage device (e.g. a flash drive): Plug in the Nexus One and "Select to copy files to/from your computer".
Calling that "playing over usb" is a complete misnomer, though. The radio will just read the mp3 files over a usb data connection.

Hi!
I have a short question. I use a cable with two pins. On the on side a pin from that:

Might be easier to get a 2.5mm jack to a 3.5mm socket converter and then use a 3.5mm jack to jack to go into the car. In the UK, maplins sell the plug, but there are many providers, google for it.
Or, you could try soldering a 2.5mm jack to some wire to a 3.5mm jack, but that requires some kowledge of pinnings and audio connectors...

ok everyone forgets that HTC uses a 2.5mm jack with 4 poles instead of 3 poles and above that they use a WEIRD wire pin setting....
so forget premolded wires... you nearly HAVE to solder one yourself...
these are the pins of the 4 pole jack:
2.5mm 4-pole jack plug ....
| 1 2 3 4
|---|--|--|--\
|---|--|--|--/
|
1) Ground
2) Mic / Switch
3) Right Audio
4) Left Audio (tip)
I do know this.. HTC uses a +9(ish)Volt wire to power the mic in the headset, so while experimenting I blew up the line-in of my soundcard.. needless to say: be carefull!
how is that strange? there s no other way to get ear plugs and mic connected through one jack... there are 3.5mm pins with 4 poles, too... e.g every sony mini camcorder has those connectors with ground/video/left a/right a in 3.5mm.
Well, I'm really cheap so today i decided to make my own mini usb to headphone jack instead of buy one. And I'm stumped i cant figure out what to solder where so could anyone help me?
Heres the pics of the headphone jack i got out of an old cd drive.

If anyone could help thanks. O any sorry about the bad pics.
Get a mini usb to stereo 3.5 from amazon.com 5.95 and 2.45 shipping. should arrive in a couple of days. mine did and works great. and no chance of frying your phone.

I got two, they work great plus they are inexpensive
i applaud the use of t rying to do it yourself, you are gonna need a soildering iron, but there is a tutorial online. google "how to..." and you should find it soon. if i had done it myself i would tell you but i don't likie wires so i have bluetooth
If you look closely at your original mini-usb plug or the socket of the mobile you will notice that there are a total of 11 pins (5 and 6)
in case you use only a mini usb cable you will contact the 5 pins.
These however are not used for the antenna, mic. or the headphones.
(according to
Stal-Ker said:
I measured that here. I hope that that correct is.

)
you might need to buy one of the 11-pin plugs on the market.
and then you can replace the headphones with your own as seen in other threads.
If anyone has built the external circuit for the headphones and mic
PLEASE let me know.
I paid for mine 3/4 $, shipping cost included.......
maybe someone could post some pin schemes, how to solder? Because i got my mini USB to 3.5mm audio adapter from ebay, and it doesnt seemed to work. And i managed to break it so now i dont know which pins to solder, there are only two tiny wires in the adapter. Thanks for help.
i am looking to make a video out adapter for the touch pro i have. i saw the guide to do it with the headphones but i have 5 a300 blocks. so I wanted to have 3 rca conectors in it with usb charge. i have the adapter apart but the colors are not the same for the head phones. i have included a few pics of the insides.
colors from left to right
purple blue grey yellow orange brown and black

so this is what i have found out after getting out the soldering iron.
purple is for left audio
blue is for headset sensing when grounded
grey when ground will prompt for tv out
yellow unused prolly mic
orange is for right audio
brown tv out
well i have learned a lot about this little adapter in the last hour. this is my plan know what i know and this is supposed to fit inside the adapter box.
3 rca plugs so any length of cable can be used.
usb charging is not an issue.
a switch to select tv out or heatset
and at least 1 of the headset plugs
3.5mm 2.5 mm extUSB "prolly not"
ok so i have finish a first trial of the video break out box. i was not able to keep the audio plugs that were in the a300 adapter there as the parts i got from my local radio shack were to large and they didnt have all the items i needed. i will be posting pics later of how it looks but so far i have video out and headphone support via hardware switch.
here are the pics of adapter version one. i have a few ideas im gonna do in the next one so keep watch and see how they go.
plans for the next try.
since i didnt have room for the audio hookups i am going to add a rj11 jack and a small switch to the adapter. i will then use a retractable phone line with solid one piece rca plug at one end.
the rj11 jack is 4 pin as well as the cable this will allow l/r audio, video and ground transmissons. i am hoping the rj11 jack is small enough to keep all the audio plugs there.
Easy Way
that is needed is the original -unmodified- multi-adapter
that came with the Touch Pro and a cheap ipod 3.5mm AV cable
Simply plug your ipod AV cable into the 3.5mm port on the multi-adapter,
plug the adapter in the phone, and set the following registry entry to a value of 1:
\HKLM\Software\HTC\H2W\TVOutCableIn
Immediately after it is modified, the Video Out format selection will pop-up.
Select the proper format for your display/TV, and it should immediately
show up on the big screen in beautiful color with perfect sound.
When you disconnect the multi-adapter, the value of the registry entry will revert to 0.
-----------------
IMPORTANT NOTE: Apparently, not all 3.5 to RCA AV cable have the same pin-out as iPod compatible cables.
You must use iPod compatible AV cables or hope that you get lucky with whatever you've got lying around.

i know i have done thing but i guess i wanted a non generic type i know it is more work but it is always fun to play and tinker
Hello,
I wanted to notify you guys about something that we (my sister and I) accidently discovered. After I gave my phone to her (I get a new one) I installed NoData to prevent extra costs. I forgot to put the USB cable back into the charger, and somehow she got her hands on an Mini-USB cable and plugged it in. The day after, when I woke up, I was surprised that this cable did exactly the same as the original does. I've tested it with the PC also.
So for all users out here; you can use Mini-USB as well.
I'm sorry if this has been discovered already.
Regards,
NLCJ
EDIT:
I'm not totally sure whether this USB type is called Mini-USB, but I found it using Google, so I guess it is.

Het warm water opnieuw uitgevonden? Neen het is al langer bekend het noemt een usb ext aansluiting van htc, dit is een mini usb met extra audioconnectie.
Yep thats been seen before, HTC uses ext-usb, which is just mini-usb with some added pins.
neocivis basically said the same thing, but in dutch

Am i the only one who cant use a normal mini-usb cable for data transfer? It charges, but when its connected to a pc i cant start usb-transfer. Is this normal?

No, this is not normal. Additional pins only affect the audio.
Perhaps try a different cable.
ye known for a while thouht it was obvious so didnt bother posting it....
PS3
Yes, it is possible. I am using PS3 cable, usually used for charge controller. It is possible to use another USB for phone, but isn´t possible to use HTC cable in another USB "holes"
I try mini usb cable it's work with active sync, disk drive & charger
Thank you brother

I know this is a little old but for those who have the same problem, there are differences in USB cables, some are for charging only and don't include a wire for sync; you need to make sure the cable you are using is sync capable.
I purchased a pair of OnePlus Type-C Bullets Earphones. The description says there is an internal DAC. But the phone doesn't recognize the USB audio.
I've searched the forum, and someone said they work https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/accessories/oneplus2-supports-type-c-headphones-t3842450
The "Disable USB Audio Routing" in developers option is set to OFF already.
I don't have a USB-C female to USB male adapter so I can't test the earphones on my PC.
I'm currently using Lineage OS 16.0 nightly. Is it Lineage OS's bug? I have not tried stock ROM yet, anyone?
@aviraxp
They won't work

Please check before buying. OnePlus 2 uses the very first USB C version and it's outdated (There are different versions of USB C, similar to USB A). Any OTG or headphones with USB C functionality won't work on OP2. Hope that solved your problem.

Note that they haven't mentioned OnePlus 2.

I'm not sure why, maybe because the OTG's version matches with the phone's. I have tried like 6-7 products and none of them seemed to work for me. The only way I could get it to work was by using a USB C to micro-USB converter and a normal OTG (not type C). But that's irrelevant, what matters is that type C bullets won't work.
I use the normal bullets with headphone jack.
