3.5mm to miniusb

I have a 3.5mm to miniusb adapter that came with my wife's Motorola SLVR. I tryied to use it with my Kaiser but it doesn't work. Can anybody tell me why it's not working? Is there something that I have to enable on my phone?
Thank you.

The motorola adapter uses different pins so it won't work on the kaiser, sorry

Exactly. You'll need a HTC specific adapter.

Try ebay.
I originally had the simple USB to 3.5 adaptor but I couldn't charge the phone at the same time.
You want something like this .

I confirm that on my Kaiser..the Motorola charger works fine on the Kaiser. This is probably the most reason why people also assume that the stereo adapter from the Motorola SLVR or L7 or any model would work fine. However the pin is supposed to be 11pins so you would need a different one. You can find one from the xda-developers shop or on ebay or amazon.com at around $5 +shipping would make it $10

Thanks guys for all the replys. Everything is clear now.

Be aware though that these don't seem to work on all roms, on Dutty's from the 16th it just works as a headphone adapter for me, the remote doesn't function :-(
I've tried a few of the HTC audio drivers to no avail, a few needed hard resets to recover from (yes I know most of the cabs are for different models but... ).
If you just want a headphone adapter a cheap ebay one would be the best option and use the rest of the money towards some decent headphones.

I'm using this one, it works fine. You can charge or sync while using the audio output.

@ajs007
Just thought you might want to know you can get that headset off ebay for like £15 delivered!
Thats what I'm going to do when I get paid, its from Hong Kong so a couple of weeks for delivery but its half the price!
Here's a shop whos selling it if you want one, they seem identical just have Dopod wrote on them instead of HTC!

+1...been using with my Tilt for awhile now without problem

Just bought this one:
It looks better than the one above.

Note: The above one will not work correctly
I have the same one as Kraize92 and it worked great for a month or two. Now I have to wiggle it in and keep it pushed in in order to work.
Junk!!!
Any other long term suggestions?
Thanks

The problem is that I bet your plastic came loose around the miniUSB part, so just pull it out a bit and apply super glue around it and then it should fit snug and you won't have to wiggle it in and keep it pushed.

The plastic at what part
What plastic part?
Are you talking about the plastic on the adaptor or the phone? I would like to get this fixed.
Thanks

I had bought that big one with the three outs before, totally sucked for my kaiser, had to push it down for it to work, then I bought the simple seidio one, miniUSB to 3.5, and works flawlessly. For those wanting to connect decent headphones to it and not having a big piece of plastic with three outs that you ain't gonna use, I recommend the seidio one

charging capability while using the headsets
I agree …The simpler the better. BUT I like the charging capability while using the headsets.!!!
Thanks

Mine just arrived. I love it so far. No problems.
@stress_analyst
Did you check and see if your USB port on your Kaiser is out of place? Because that could cause you to wiggle it before it gets a good connection.

HDMI out cable doesn't seem to work

I bought a microusb to HDMI cable (Samsung P/N ECC1HU0BBE but not from Samsung, from some other random place) to see if it would work. It does not appear to work on my phone. I'm running the stock ROM, just rooted with the bloat removed.
I plugged it into an HDTV here at work, checked "TV out" in settings, and nothing. TV said it didn't see any input. I was dubious about this, especially since there's an option in there for NTSC/PAL which AFAIK doesn't apply to HDMI. This leads me to believe that maybe the TV out option is for something more like the classic ipod style analog video out through the headphone jack cable.
I tried: just checking the "TV out" box, switching between PAL and NTSC, restarting the phone with the cable connected, etc.
So, there's my anecdotal report. I'm guessing that our phone doesn't support this cable. I thought I had one of the latter (analog video) type in a box of cords somewhere but haven't been able to find it yet. Has anyone tried one of those cables?
(I'd post links to the cable I'm talking about but it won't let me! D

drat.
Maybe it only works with specific apps-- Did you try playing a movie in the built-in video player app?

there are some threads bout the analog headphone cables. They work fine, and are cheap, about 3.00 on amazon.

You got the wrong cable.

You could have gotten a faulty cable. It's also possible the cable was assembled by some random joe making and selling junk cables. Where did you get it from? It may be a fake samsung cable and not true oem.

This is certainly possible. I bought it from some random shady web store I found on google shopping. It _looks_ like a Samsung cable, but that doesn't really mean anything.

The cable I have looks exactly like that, down to the little plug symbol by the microusb port on the side. Also you'll notice that the part number you list is the same as the one I did but with an "STD" on the end. The page you linked me is where I started my search for this cable. The cable itself doesn't have any part numbers on it that I've found.
If it doesn't work on my TV at home either I'll take it apart and we'll see what's in there. I can't imagine much.
So, who knows? Maybe I have a knockoff, broken or wrong cable. If so, bummer for me, but that means that we still have the possibility of HDMI out on this device. So, someone buy that cable straight from Samsung (whenever they decide to start selling it) and prove me wrong! I'd be very happy

I bought the same cable and tryed everything...
I am not sure if it is a software issue or what. But it definitely is not sending signal threw this port. Tried a many different programs/apps and settings.

I thought "TV Out" was only for the analog video signal through the 3.5 mm jack.

where did you guys buy the cable?
just want to know
Thank You

It could be the cable. I had to buy a specific cable for my Greddy Emanage since they did something to switch the USB cable to make it proprietary. They charged $30 for the stupid thing too! Bunch of BS, anyhow, they may have done the same thing with the Vibrant.
I dont remember hearing anything about the Vibrant doing HDMI out though

i used an old 3.5 to rca cables from a motozine i had and video worked just fine on my tv. it kind of looks like crap on my 52 inch screen. but it worked. so im thinking maybe the video out only works through the 3.5 jack.

The Galaxy S doesnt support HDMI output. That was a accident statement from Samsung. That cable is for the "mondi".

Hmm. I wonder if it works on the Sprint Epic 4G, or on the international I9000. (There are several Galaxy S features that T-Mobile and AT&T have disabled, but which appear in other variants.)

What is the quality of the 3.5mm tv out..is it horrible? On youtube videos it looks really good, but its hard to tell by youtube. Will it look quite good on a 46" panasonic plasma?...no hdmi news is quite depressing, was really looking forward to that.

TV Out! Read for another experience!

Hey all my android brethren! I am a modest if not intensive android tester/ researcher and this post is exclusively for the Samsung Vibrant. I have tested over 25 mainstream a/v out cables and have come up with one winner in stability, quality, and greatness haha! The winner is....GIGAWARE 3.5 A/V out cable for camcorders and other devices. The product number is...11A09 and the sku....040293024246. Radioshack has it...good hunti.g and watching your phone be more then what it is!
Update: The red input is actually the video i.e. yellow input, sorry everyone!!

Sounds more like a phone accessory more than phone development...but that might just be me...Thanks for your testing either way.

How much is it?

What I wasn't to know is why you can't watch Avatar through the tv out cable. I can watch anything on my phone through the cable except the movie. Suck

Issues with other cables include choppy video, freezing up on tv, and just plain not working at all.

Just cut the headphone cable and attach RCA cables to it,
Headphone Wire Color codes
Red - Speaker +
Green - Speaker +
White - Video +
Gold - All Ground connects on same cable.
And your done.. takes all of 20 secs
Note: Make sure to burn off coating on headphone cables, just take a match to each seperate cable.

DRM, and yes, it does suck. But you can work around it by encoding your own and deleting the one that came with the phone. There's even an app in the apps forum to provide the launcher.

I bought this cable about a month ago. it was 30 bucks from radio shack. albeit 10ft long. works good but picture quality is so so. I also bought the samsung hdmi cable but we all know how that went.

i tried the official apple av cable that came with my old ipod, and it worked perfect with my vibrant

Yellow is video - red is right speaker, white is left speaker. What you don't get is stereo sound.

lol, "extensive" testing? Seriously? These cables are composite, the quality will NOT be any better from one to the other. If you have signal issues, then the cable may be defective.
BTW, the audio coming out of the phone is near useless with the 3.5 out. I have to increase my audio on the TV to near max in order to hear comfortably.

None of the micro-USB to HDMI cables seem to work.

Zune HD dock cables work
If your Zune HD owner with dock the Vibrant only needed 3 channel 3.5 mm. I found it out when I was watching some guy using the similar cable. Not HD though but it's a start.

[Q] Does Glacier use standard micro usb?

If the usb port on this phone is a non-standard size I am going to be pissed.
I loved that the mt3g uses a regular mini usb plug because pretty much everyone and their mom has something lying around the house that uses that size. That means that wherever I end up I can always find something to plug into and charge my phone.
I've used camera cables, blackberry chargers, even used my buddy's ps3 controller cable to charge my phone directly from the ps3 or the cable box, lol.
Can anyone enlighten me before I buy something from Ebay that I don't need?

of course it does. what even made you think it might not??

Came across a thread in my googling that indicated there were two styles of micro usb. Also a coworker's phone (Captivate) has an equally small but differently shaped port.
I assumed one of the two ports (mine or hers) had to be non-standard, just didn't know which one.
Thanks for answering my question. So this should work just fine?

its standard...
I've been charging mine on an old LG charger I had lying around and keep the supplied micro USB cord with my laptop.
side note: I just ordered some Motorola right angle adapters from Amazon for 4 bucks each... I HATE the location of the USB plug; it makes landscape suck and charging at night is a pain logistically.
Need to get some mini-usb to micro-usb adapters to make use of the rest of my crap.

Oooh, right angle adapter is a good idea. Agreed, the charge port location sucks balls, but I assume that was a necessity.

Moto z play supports video out with MHL adapter

Just like to confirm no need for chrome cast no need for wifi dongles no need for any of that
Moto z play seems to support audio video output with a hdmi mhl adapter and USB c cord
I didn't think it worked as it's mentioned most current phones don't have slimport or mhl capability it's evident this phone does .
Best of luck as I believe this is a nice find .

Are there different types of MHL adapter? Saw 11 pin, Samsung specific, is this just a marketing thing and all are the same? Any recommendation, which one to buy in Germany (Amazon prime is fine)?

Can you post exact specifications / link to the adapter that you are using. That's interesting, considering that there is also MyDP/Slimport output (via the mod backplane, but nevertheless, I would've expected to support only one standard, not both).
Thanks

By the descriptions, we can see that this adptador is compatible also with galaxy s6 s7, but I already had a s6 and it does not have compatibility with MHL, I bought several cables and none worked, what I can see is that this adptador works like a bridge USB, which transfers the image not by MHL but by a USB link similar to using mirroring via usb on the computer, so it is necessary to activate the USB debugging ... This is very good because it is comptaviel with any android that does not have support The MHL ... Very good !!

There seem to be 2 versions of this cable from M.WAY.
Silver version compatible with the Galaxy S7 and a Black version, which is not.
Problem is, the silver version is not available in the UK (not even from Amazon).
Anyone know where I can get this in the UK (or someone who ships to the UK)?

Please post link. Is this cable usb-c on one side ?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272686294141
Got the black one

I purchased the M.Way white cable from Amazon (cable white color with sliver USB HDMI plug end) but it won't work on my Moto Z2 Play. This is even after I turn on "USB Debugging".
I also noticed that my Moto Z2 does NOT ask the question "ALLOW" when this USB C to HDMI cable is connected to it. However that "ALLOW" question is asked on both my iPhone and LG cellphone when I connect my TV to this cable and it works on these two phone brand (iPhone and LG) but not on my Moto Z2 Play.
HELP PLEASE

I bought a cable from AliExpress and it is working too. But I get very low framerates and compression artefacts on fast moving content. Playing games or watching videos is impossible. How does the M.Way cable do in these use cases?

To eliminate pixelation, download the Ezcast app and play videos via the app while connected through hdmi.
Works great.
