extUSB extension Cable - General Accessories

Well, I've searched the forums and web and I can't seem to find a extUSB extension cable.
I found links for a male connector that requires soldering but there is no female connector to directly make an extension.
Does anyone one know where to locate a extUSB mini extension cable? I might end up having break out my old soldering iron otherwise.

I've never seen one...
There are the two male plugs on Sparkfun, but I haven't seen a female connector. Possibly pirate one from an old/broken phone on eBay?
Or, depending on what you're wanting to extend, get an adaptor (there's one on Amazon that this new user can't link to) and use a standard mini USB. But you'd lose some functionality, of course.

unless you really need to carry the audio then a normal usb extension cable would work just fine

Actually, audio and power are what I am looking to extend. This is to have one cable going to my car cradle while keeping everything else tucked away. I just ordered a couple extUSB data sync cables and a couple 3 in one adaptors for cheap on eBay. I plan on cutting and splicing the two cables together and then shrink wrapping the joint.
Hopefully all goes well. If so, I'll post some pics and the info used in making them.

3in1 11 PIN ExtUSB Earphone Handsfree Adapter for HTC
Finally appeared on eBay what I was looking for a long time!!
I think that is the same that you are looking for!
http://cgi.ebay.com/3in1-11-PIN-Ext...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3cabfd9d0b
Now I will not have a lot of wires apparent in the dashboard of my car!
not yet tested, I just bought!

Please let us know how long the cable is - thanks

Hi guys.
I bought 2 of them.
I'm using thet extension on my car, but when I connect to the USB power jacket, audio is affected by an annoying drone noise...
Of course audio backs perfect unplugging the power cable...
How to fix this?
Thanks!

I so far have not received my extension! But it should be on the way, because I live in Brazil and the request is coming from China.
At the moment I use an HTC adapter (http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Audio-Adapt...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27b1f6236b) and I also have the same audio problem when I'm charging my phone in the car. Sometimes it gets very loud and sometimes becomes very low distortion. I found that helps a lot if you leave the phone's volume low and increase the volume of your car sound. Sound distortion is less so.
Once I saw here in the forum someone recommending a audio filter but I can not find the thread that had the link, but basically that's what we need.
If you find a solution please post here!
When I get my extension I will test and post the results here too!

I also have that original HTC adapter, I bought it before.
With the adapter I have no noise, it's only difficult to raise 2 cable to the phone...
Otherwise, I think the filter is the only solution.
Could you try to remember any detail to search for it?
Check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-377996.html , it's exactly what we have to fix...

My extension just arrived! In this second!
Using the HTC adapter you do not have any noise? I have sometimes and sometimes not!
Anyway I think we need something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Peripheral-PA...3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1275345446&sr=1-3

http://cgi.ebay.com/PAC-Audio-SNI-1...tem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c54bd2a89
Let's keep in touch until we solve it! I'll test my extension and post the result here.

Adapter

USB adapter. I just love the Elf phone.The only things I am disappointed in is that I cannot plug in a set of external speakers. I cannot plug in to the charger whilst watching a film as I need the socket for the headphones...
Does anyone know of an adapter to enable me to do this please? I could get one made up from the diagram, however I would prefer to buy a custom made one.
Roz
maybe something like this?
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=127184
The Elf has only a USB socket, nothing else... No phono or whatever they call it... For me this is the only fault with a superb little phone.
Thanks anyway.
dont know about the elf but all other newer htc devices have a special usb connector which also carry audio
if your device came with a headset then yours do too
as they device dont support usb host so it cant use any usb devices
nm just saw my link was wrong :S

this was the link i ment to give you
3Way USB adapter for HTC Touch/Elf
There is in fact a 3 way adapter available. I found it after a bit of a search. For some reason some of you seemed to think I was looking for a headset. The USB socket on the HTC Touch does not allow you to use anything else other than the supplied USB headset. however I want to use a set of Sony speakers for the sound to play MP3's and as I like to watch films in bed through ORB I like to be able to charge the phone at the same time. The process uses a lot of battery power.
The adapter I found has a stereo jack socket and 2 USB sockets the same as the one on the phone. So now I can plug in my head set and charger or charger and speakers in any form I choose.
If anyone else is interested here is a link where you can buy one for about £12.00 which includes postage: http://www.elitextreme.com/htcto31ad.html
The pictures show what I was talking about...

HTC 3 way adapter
No Expansis do not carry one. The link I left earlier does. I have mine now. It is exactly what I wanted. Cost me £12.95. Well worth it.
OK, so this is *almost* what I'm looking for:

Does anyone know where to get an 11pin to 3.5mm adapter? One that *only* has a 3.5mm stereo output instead of having stereo+usb output?
Thanks.

Thanks for the find, but will it work even if it's for the TyTN and not specifically for the Touch?
And is it stereo as opposed to just mono?
i would asume that htc dont change the wireing of their miniusb connector flavour with each device it would serve no purpos and would cost alot for htc
i would asume that if stereo is in the miniusb connector when used for normal wired headset it would be using that converter
as it would serve no purpos for the converter to add the eletronics it would require to just take 1 channel and spit it in 2 without lowering the the volume to ½ because of the impedanc

Make usb to 3.5mm jack adapter

I was wondering if i could grab a normal mini-usb to usb cable, cut the normal usb ending and sold the audio wires to a 3.5mm jack, so to use it with any audio device.
I just need to know wich of the wires inside the usb are the ones wich carry audio?
if i'm able to make it will make a tutorial although my english it's not that good
just so i don't have to break the original wire.
thanks
Not really - it can't be done
Here's the pin-out diagram
http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2006/09/10/htc_hermes_usb_connector_pin_config
but you would noticed that the "miniUSB" socket on the Touch is actually a 2 in 1 device, a standard mini USB only have the bottom connection which deals with normal data traffic and charging, the top connectors carries the audio which the standard mini USB don't connect to (physically it can't).
But you can buy specially made adaptor to provide USB to audio sold on this site or elsewhere, such device make use of the more special connector to connect with the audio side.
I have 2 of such adaptor, they cost around USD15 a piece. Yes a bit more expensive than normal USB but they look neat
yeah, i wrote the post beforing having my elf, wich luckily was en ELFIN i'm really happy with it, i received it 3 hours ago

i'm from argentina so, i can't buy on ebay. The only adaptor here cost aprox U$S 35
that's expensive but it's my only choice
Just purchased my adapter from ebay and got it the other day... Works great. I have it connected to an FM transmitter so that all the audio (mp3's and gps audio) out to my car strereo.
Right after I purchased the unit I looked around and saw one with a built in microphone so I could have made it into a handsfree unit and have the audio go over the car stereo... DOH! I may do the upgrade in the next month. The adapter I got with shipping only cost 8 dollars.

I purchased a mini usb to rca cable advertised for use with the Moto Razr phones. I know that the car charger for those phones works for my HTC. Heck, I could even charge my phone from my PS3 mini usb cables meant for charging controllers.
I received the cable today and I can't get it to work with anything.
Initially I tried it with my car's aux input. No workey.
Tried it on my home stereo. No workey.
I guess my assumption of this cable working for me was wrong. The only way I can get audio out of my HTC is with the supplied headset. Does anyone know how to convert that to RCA instead of 3.5mm?
Thanks.
The regular mini usb cables don't carry audio from the HTC Touch. That's why the earphone's they give you have a different connector, it looks like a mini USB but it's not.
It's easy to take apat the HTC earbuds and splice them to a 3.5mm jack so you can use standard earbuds. I did it and it took less than 5 min. There is another thread about it here somewhere with a step by step and everything.
i hav modified the original hands free, removed the earpieces and soldered a 3.5 mm socket into the call receive / volume adjust part. working fine so far ...
I did the same, but I broke the mic while soldering
Does anyone have the wiring diagram for the elf handsfree so I can know what I am trying to fix?

There are two types, one is a usb connector and a short cable to a earphone socket, and one is all in one...
I can get them in the UK on ebay for around $5 - add the same again for postage, and I'll get one and mail it to you - Paypal me when you get it... if you want me to, let me know and I'll work out the exact costs.

If I am not mistaken, you can do one better - not only you get USB to 3.5, it will include the handsfree clip-on controls (mic, answer button, volume etc), allowing you to use the earphones of your choice. Which was the absolute must for me, because my ears are too small for the regular plugs. Not only that, most earphones included in the box are average quality at best, none will beat Sennheiser anyway.
I got one like that for my LG Prada, because the buggers use proprietary connector, which sucks. Paid $4.50 USD with FREE delivery to New Zealand. Can't beat that, I think. Let me see if the same seller has one for Elf.

Yes, there are a few options - I personally don't like the handsfree adaptop becasue you end up with too many wires in your packet... I use mine with some sennheiser phones with short cable, to make it neater.
I do have a set of Motorola S9 bluetooth headphones which work great, but you do get the very occasional cut out, and you have to remember to keep them charged up....
I think the all-in-one-block adaptor is the neatest for keeping everything tidy and untangled.
i got the A-200 HTC audio adapter it's gr8 ... usb (IN) and 3.5 , 2.5 , usb mini for headset and usb for charger (OUT)

Need this cable: Micro USB to 3.5mm & USB splitter

Dear awesome community,
For the past month or more I've been trying to find a place where they sell Mirco-USB to 3.5mm/USB cables, but I have come to no success whatsoever!
Is such cable impossible to make? Or am I just looking in the wrong places.
Check out the attached picture that I've created to show what I need and mean.
It looks simple, right? Now, I would love to get one of these at any price.
Help me!

That's totally proprietary. The phone that that is made for probably doesn't even have a 3.5mm jack.

Well.. sorry to be a troll. However, you started this thread conveniently assuming that Headphone output through MicroUSB port of Note will work? Its not an HTC phone which has headset support.
May I know the reason for your ASSUMPTION that it would work even if you get the cable?
Your best bet for a single plug into your phone would probably be to use an MHL>HDMI adapter, and then get another adapter to convert from HDMI audio to 3.5mm.
That would be rather clunky though. HDMI > Anything (that isn't DVI) converters are going to run you at least about $40 for a start, and they aren't small either (probably not much smaller than the phone itself .) And they are externally-powered, so you'd need to provide power to both the MHL dongle and the HDMI converter, so it'd be super untidy.
You could do it though.
But you're probably better off using Bluetooth.

My assumption comes from the fact that there is a "docking" option in the system settings of the Galaxy Note, meaning that there is support for docking stations and probably audio output for them.
I'm not saying that the Note is the only and first phone to have it, I'm just wondering if there are such cables out there and if such thing possible to be made through Micro USB.
I had an iPhone almost 2 years ago and such cable was available easily and it did really help in my car setup, and since the Note has the same slot setup of my old iPhone I would really like to know if a cable like that is somewhere out there.

Well, looking at this car docking station...
(Link not allowed. Search for "Genuine Samsung Galaxy Note Vehicle Dock - ECS-K1E1BEGSTD" on MobileFun)
...it clearly shows a "speaker line out" socket in one of the photos, with only one connector (i.e. the micro USB connector) attaching to the phone.
So it is most certainly possible.
Hmmm, the both the official desktop dock and car dock have a 3.5mm audio out. It seems unlikely that there would be a USB DAC in the docks themselves, which suggests that analogue audio is being piped out the microUSB port on the phone itself.
Of course, the OP could just buy the official car dock to get nice tidy cabling...
If i understood the purpose of this cable, it would be:
For example:
My car supports audio input so the purpose of a cable like this would be to stream music to my car audio system and recharge de phone like a all-in-one right?

It is obviously possible as the destop & car dock do this.
The only way is, for someone with some electronics knowledge to pull one of these apart to see how its done. It would be interesting to see if it is straight audio out, or if there is a "Digital to Analogue Converter in there"

Audio output AND charger using the micro-usb port

Hi,
I want to have only 1 plug to insert in the Samsung Galaxy S2 to have:
- Audio output
- AND power charging
This is possible by using the micro-usb port of the Samsung Galaxy S2.
This is how the official Samsung docks works: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECR-D1D3BEGSTA )
But I am not looking for a dock, I just want a cable ! (it is much more convenient than a dock)
This cable would be like this:
Code:
|---------> Audio output jack
Micro-USB <---|
|---------> Standard USB (type A)
Where can I buy such a cable ?
Regards, Chris
I guess you have to make one yourself. It shouldn't be too difficult.
You just have to solder a 365K resistor to the ID pin of the micro usb plug. Then solder The data pins and the ground pin to a 3.5mm socket. At last you need to solder the +5V pin and the ground pin to the USB plug.
I have to say I like the Idea of such a cable, I think i'm goibg to make one.
I got the official vehicle dock and the sound coming from the line out isn't so good compared to the headphone jack. I'm wondering if the components within the dock is to blame or the phone itself (kernel?)
If the OP does find a cable that does the job I'd be keen to know how it turns out.

I am very surprised, no one is manufacturing such a cable. I am sure there is a big business for it.

The quality should be good, as Samsung is selling a docking stations to output the sound on a hifi system. Bad sound quality is not noticeable on basic headphones, but on a hifi system that would be catastrophic (so Samsung would not sell docking stations).

You need an amp to improve the sound from the line out since it is unfiltered and not treated through the phone's yamaha pre amp.

Ahh, the cmoy, very cool headphone amp. I have a DIY AMB mini3 with an Alien dac connected to my computer. Now with the info from this thread, I really want line out! Though I must admit, 2.3.5 with poweramp sounds really good.
Ok the Cable is finished, when plugging the cable in the phone automatically enters dock mode and outputs audio via the micro-USB port.
Quality is OK I guess (I will compare it to the quality of the 3.5mm headphone-jack output), but keep in mind that I'm not an audiophile .
The build quality of my cable is not great, but it was more or less just a proof of concept.

That looks very promising, thank you for sharing!
Keep in mind, line out is unfilter, unamp audio output, so the sound will sound a bit bland. One must plug an amp into it to "color" the sound.
Good on you, wurzelsepp3. As for the audio quality between the headphone jack and line out I'm pretty sure you'll notice it but it shouldn't be a problem if you just want the functionality.
I just tested the cmoy amp in my car and it sounds good now.

Excellent !!
I need such a cable too !
Can you post how you built it ? I am not good at electronics.
I guess you have taken:
- a USB (type A) cable
- a jack cable
- and a micro-USB
and then cut all of them to just keep the plugs. But then how did you joined the different cables together and how did you installed the resistor ?

Hi wurzelsepp3,
Thanks for your Sketch, please confirm whether it is same for car dock mode and desktop mode only by change of resister value and please confirm following my comments
1) Is it possible to charge the phone as per your sketch through PC usb port and via car charger out.

Hi wurzelsepp3,
Thanks for your Sketch, please confirm whether it is same for car dock mode and desktop mode only by change of resister value and please confirm following my comments
1) Is it possible to charge the phone as per your sketch through PC usb port and via car charger out.
2) Is it possible to hear songs from stereo socket out through stereo headphone.
3) Is it possible to connected car audio system/external sound system because i saw another link like this

Yes the only difference between car and desk-dock mode is the resistor value.
1) Yes the USB-plugs only purpose in this setup is to supply power, so any charger will do the job
2) Yes, but you have to keep in mind that the sund coming out of the micro usb port isn't amplified, so sound quality and volume are rather low, so you might wanna use an external headphone amplifier
3) Yes, as car and external audio systems have a amplifier it should work quite well.
Would something like this work?

i will have 3 cables to sell on here for $25 by the end of the week. Let me know if people want them
Docking Station
Finally I made my own style 3 in 1 Dock station, includes Car dock, Home dock and auxiliary audio out with the help of selector switch. Conversion of car dock to home dock by sliding the selector switch,also possible to charge the phone from home or Car dock mode. Auxiliary audio sound is nice to hear and All items compacted in small case.
Thanks for all, to give me such idea and sketches.
Are all the micro-USB to 3.5mm jack you find on eBay the same? Do they have the same pinout/resistance required for use on the SGS2?

Really thin 3.5mm Audio Jack

Ok so here's my predicament. The way I can plug my phone's audio into my car is through a 3.5mm plug into the headphone jack. This wire is coming out from behind the stereo unit and I have to completely remove the unit if I wanted to put a different wire in back there which would be a major pain. Now before I had no problem hooking that plug into my S3, but now that I got an extended battery with a different case, the hole around the headphone jack on the new case is too small to allow the plug to plug in fully. So I was wondering does anyone know of a 3.5mm female to male plug that I can order, where the male end has as little rubber around the tip as possible so it will actually fit in this case? I've been searching myself but its kind of a hard thing to search for, with the proper wording and everything. So I was hoping maybe one of you have had a similar situation and have found a wire that fits these needs.
Thanks!
This guy's cables are pretty thin:

There's also this other cable (kensington/belkin make similar ones) that has the plastic/rubber stripped from the base of the connector which should allow it to dive deeper in to your case and make a full connection in side the minijack. I have a case that this doesnt quite work on but it will work for most:

Maybe this.....

this?

Im using it now for my AUX stock deck to my Gs3 it is very very low profile.
You can always trim off the access rubber around the jack with a utility knife.

thanks guys. i think this markertek one is probably gonna be the one i try. i need it to be male-female or just an adapter like this (assuming this fits properly with my case). i'd rather not get a whole new male to male wire because that would mean i'd need to take apart my whole front panel on my car again to replace the wire.
i'm gonna give this one a try and if it doesn't work, i guess i'll just start saving up for a new stereo with bluetooth so i don't have to worry about it anymore haha.

I don't have any experience buying from them. I just did a quick search because I think I know what you are looking for and came up with that. You might check your local Radio Shack to see if they have a similar adapter that will fit.
Just google female to recessed male 3.5 and you'll find many places to purchase including amazon
