I have no idea how much a motherboard would cost - fire a price and if it makes sense for me, I'm interested as my headphone jack is gone and I can't find it on its own.

Nice little store
If you would like to replace your main board there is a store by my house that has every peice that you need to build a new one. I live in taiwan. The parts range from $1.00-10.00. So, if you are in need of a special part let me know, maybe I can help.

Hi Cobb,
That would be great - I'm really looking for a headphone jack port as mine's gone and I had to eliminate it as the Uni was under the impression I had headphones connected at all time.
If you can check the price of this out, it would be cool.
Tks.

Sure

It is around $1.00-2.00 US. Just to let you know I used the female headphone connection from my Walkman. I will try to post a complete price list for the universal.
The parts are really cheap here, but sending them is not. Does anyone have any ideas how I could send replacement parts, and keep the price reasonable.
Any part that you want to replace should be less than $5.00 with exception to the screen, and the external housing.
For those of you with a broken USB female jack. While replacing mine I noticed that USB's are pretty standard. There seems to be two common types, I used the one from a 4port usb hub. I not had any problems yet.
I hope this helps. The prices I listed are for a single piece.

I have a full unit, everything is fine except for a usb connector that is FUBAR, Looking to get rid of the entire unit so I can buy a new one, shoot me a PM if anyone would like to purchase it or are selling a working unit.

Hi Cobb, how about that price list??? Just my guess, if parts are SO cheap, no transportation can be expensive!!! LOL
Anyways, what I´m looking for, is a new MoBo, you have any prices for them???
Thanks in advance, and congrats to all knowledged and not so knowledged ppl in this forum.

Hi, I am bumping this thread as I am in need of the mainboard now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TV out cable?

I see the option in settings, anyone test it on the vibrant and what cable was used? I was at CompUSA formerly known as tiger-direct and they did not have any cables to test.
So any suggestions?

samsung has one on their accessories page for the galaxy s, but it's backordered.

http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=accessories
but next time do a little searching this has been brought up like 2-3 other times, the vibrant is pretty new so there aren't a lot of discussions yet, if you would have looked for a good 2 minutes at least you would have already found the answer to this, try searching first so we can keep the noobish threads down to a minimum
no disrespect just trying to keep the forums clutter free, but the same question shouldn't be asked more than 3 times in a week

Hi
You have a video test at this link : frandroid.com/23578/samsung-galaxy-s-la-sortie-audiovideo-avec-le-jack-35mm/
And you can find the cable on ebay, it s not a specific cable for SGS.

I have one too, it came with a video camera I own. I thought it didn't work either, but it turns out the Red connector was the video out (instead of the Yellow). I remember reading that someone else saw the same thing with their cable.

How is the quality on a HD display? I'm a little concerned that it is not an hdmi cable.

didn't work, turned it on before plugging the cable in.
I'll try swapping the red and yellow like mentioned above

Radio Shack
I picked mine up from the local Radio Shack and it works great the quality was as good as it gets for non-hd. (not listed on their website, but they have it in the stores) Part#1603686 With this cable the red is the video and yellow and white are sound. Amazon also sells the exact same cable for cheaper. In the store it is $29.99 on amazon it is $9.95. Beware what cable you buy because from trial and error I found out that some cables will not work no matter what way you switch the colors (they look exactly the same but the wiring to the jack is different). There is a ground on some cables that bridges the audio and video pins on the phone and just causes a buzzing no matter how you plug them in.

*On a side note I was ticked to find out that they block you from playing the Avatar movie through the video out. Probably so you don't hook it to a DVD recorder, but still I should be able too watch a movie I own on any device I want. I just wanted to watch in on a bigger screen. Oh well.

the link you posted is saying its $0.00 correct if im worng or missing something...

I think that is way off lol. It's probably because of the backorder. They might not be accepting any more orders until their first orders are filled.

ok lol making sure cause that seemed a lil odd to me but ok i can deal without a cable anyway

Here is the cable for $4 plus shipping on Monoprice.
grrr... since I cannot paste links as a new user, search Product ID 6160 on Monoprice.com

That is not the right cable! The cable 6160 uses s-video for the video and the 3.5mm for sound only. The 3.5mm end needs to have 3 seperators and if you look in the pic it only has 2 which makes it an audio connection only. It says that in the product description that I pasted below.
This is S-Video/3.5mm to Composite/Stereo Combo Cable.
Video Connector : S-video to Composite RCA (Provides Video)
Audio Connector : 3.5mm to Stereo RCA (Red/White) (Provides Audio Only)

Which Type-C to 3.5 mm jack cable should I buy?

Hey guys,
I'm looking for and advice on Type-C to 3.5 mm cable. The original one lasted for about 5 months. I tried to buy two different cables. One cheap white under 1 USD, that was utter crap, and slightly more expensive golden braided one. That one looks better, but still performs horribly. The thing is, one phone sounds fine, but the second one has low volume issue. The only cable that works without problems is the original one. But it's really worn out after those few months, and music stops often, because the phone thinks the headphones are coming out. So... What would you buy, possibly on Aliexpress?
I've got two favorites, one looks like original but isn't original (I can't post links yet, so just search "Letv X820 Type-C Adapter Type-C to 3.5mm Earphone Headphone audio interface Adapter Cable for Letv LeEco Le Pro 3/ X829" on Ali) and the other one is two times more expensive Vention one (search "Vention USB Type C to 3.5mm Adapter Cable Headphone Earphone Jack Aux Cable for Letv Leeco Le Max 2 Pro 3/Max2/S3"). People say that the first one isn't original but sounds as one. And I'm not sure about Vention. It should be good, specialized company, but I'm not sure, the product doesn't have any reviews and paying twice the price for the same product seems unnecessary. But if it'd last longer, I'd definitelly do that.
I love the phone so far, but this no jack thing is horrible. So if you have any tips or recommendations, please don't hesitate to tell me.
Thanks a lot.

I've just ordered these 2 weeks ago:

Not only that I've received them in about 1,5 weeks to Germany but the build + sound quality is great!
The sound quality seems to be at the same quality level of the original adapter. And the build quality is way better..

Thanks for the tip! I just have a question. Is this really the original stock one or just a copy? Because from what I've seen those copies look well on the photos but don't match the quality (well quality... 5 months of usage isn't something I'd call quality, but whatever, at least it plays well ) of the original product. But it'd probably be the best option, because I know the length of life for those and could buy three at once and never worry about it again.

Thanks for the tip! Could you please estimate the life of the cable? It looks fine, but overally, will it last the same, or twice the time as the original one? Those braided ones definitelly look more sturdy, but you never know... If I should buy two or if one could stick for about a year?
Thank you, guys.

The quality of my new ordered cables is really solid and durable. I've also ordered 3 units at once and Im pretty sure that those will stick longer than a year with me.
Idk if castius has already ordered http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-TypeC-to...0AAOSwXeJXc8Sc these, but from an previous order that had the exact same looking cables I can tell that my unbranded white cables have miserable sound quality and arent durable at all.. They broke after 2 Weeks of usage.
But maybe you'll be lucky with the white ones. I wasn't.
Cheers

That's great to know, thank you. I'll probably order two and we'll see. I'm just waiting what castius has to say about those ebay ones, if he already has them. Because that's what I'm afraid of, that they'll maybe work fine for three weeks and then the same story as with those unbranded ones that we've got experience with.

Where did you buy your device? I'm thinking maybe a warranty claim..... I just had my charging brick replaced, hit up the Le Forum and ask, worth a try.

Well, it was in HKTR store on Aliexpress, I seriously doubt that I can get something from them... Or do you think it's worth a try? I'd do it if I was in India or USA, where LeEco normally sells their phones, but buying it from China as a Czech republic citizen, I guess there's not much I can do.
EDIT: Okay, so the product page says that warranty on accesories is one month, so that ended before it started Still thanks for the idea. But I'll probably end buying the Bastec one, it even went one dollar down today.

Always worth a try who knows maybe they have a stack of OEM cables they will sell you.
I bought my Max through Amazon (device came from Chinese seller), leeco (USA) replaced the charge. I didn't think I had a chance, but Leeco barely questioned it.

Well, I've got two golden ones in basket, but I'll maybe switch to the silver side, because my Max is silver. I'm not sure yet, just waiting for seller to reply. But apart from those two, the colours are kind of hideous, to be honest

I got one silver and two black . The silver one differs a really small tiny bit from the black cable. Anyway I think that any color is a bang for the buck with those cables. and both colors have the same great audio quality.

Soooo... It didn't work I'm buying two of those Bastec beauties, so thank you all and hopefully everything's gonna be allright for at least a year.

So I'm back after two weeks, with both Bastec cables delivered. And I wanna thank you again, it cost me under five dollars and performs the same as the original one. But the Bastec one really seems much better built, so I hope it'll deliver for at least half a year. Great buy.

Youre welcome bro. Happy to finally help someone with my nerdiness :cyclops::laugh:

Hello guys, after 5 months, also my CDLA adapter just stopped working, so I'm searching for a replacement of good quality.
I was going to buy the Bastec one, but it's currently unavailable and maybe it will never returns in stock, so I don't know what to buy, I bought an high quality adapter for 8 euros on Amazon, but it sound very bad and also inverts audio channels
Any suggestions? Thanks...

Hey, you're right, the Bastec one is nowhere to be found now. I'm really sorry for your loss, this is a really tricky business. My one and only advice is this - Don't ever buy an adapter without engraved name of the company. Those are really shi**y in most cases. I did some research on Aliexpress and this is what I found:
Something that looks like an original cable. You can find more of these on Ali, there are even some with user pictures, so those should be relatively safe to buy. Although don't expect them to last more than half a year with moderate usage.
Then there's Vention, I think I already have some cables from them and it always worked as it should, so I'd guess that in this case, it should be the same.
And finally, this beast here which looks monstrous and should deliver properly. Not sure about the quality of charge, but audio should be fine.
Unfortunatelly I can't tell you any personal impressions, as I own only the Bastec ones, but this is all of my knowledge. I hope it'll help you to find something that's really working, fingers crossed.

Oh I can't thank you enough for your help , I've ordered the Voxlink one, it seems the best choice especially for the double cable for charge and audio.
I will give a feedback as soon as I will receive it, so it maybe can help also other users that probably will need to buy an alternative adapter at some point...
Again, thank you very much

I'm glad I could help, I really hope that this one works without problems. I remember how big my troubles were when I was dealing with this problem, I bought two adapters and both sounded like a 1940s radio. The worst thing is that you're waiting weeks for it to arrive from China and then you can't do anything else than order another one and hope that after another few weeks, things will be different. I'm really looking forward to your, hopefully positive, feedback. If you have cable headphones and will use this phone for more than half a year, there is a chance of about 99,9% that you'll need another adapter, so your feedback will be surely welcome from every other Le Max 2 owner

Off-Topic, General Discussions etc etc

There aren't a lot of us in here, but I'm kinda starting to see some off-topic posts scattered about. Not many
However why not have a thread with random, general HTC, U12 comments.
If something can be answered maybe someone will show you the way to the correct thread or help you start a new one in the proper section.

I'll start it off...
I like this phone, its pretty great. Others might disagree. I did my research before ordering the phone and I guess I had a better understanding of what I was getting myself into.
One thing I need some getting used to is unlocking the phone. As weird as that sounds coming from an iPhone X where I just stared it down until it unlocked. Fingerprint needs some getting used to.
Also not surprised to see the continued negativity from news outlets. Yea HTC is going thru some rougher waters, but lets give them some hope. Continuing to beat them while there down is just pathetic. I guess bad unpopular websites or those seeing less clicks are clamoring to get some peoples attention. HTC being their ad revenue

Just some snap and shoot pics I took...

You can actually unclock it with your face as well. It even asks you to set faceunlock up at first start (and you can set it up whenever via settings)

Thanks for this post buddy. I've been getting attacked for defending this phone and probably deserved cause I have been a tad bit aggressive but it seems a lot of the negative comments in these threads are coming from people who don't even own the phone. This phone is fantastic and it does not deserve the negativity it is getting. So yeah for me it is frustrating to watch. It's like bandwagon jumping. And they want to keep on and on and on to the point where it looks like they want to convince others how bad this phone is.
And I will go even further to say that some people actually wish they had this phone but can't. I know it makes the negative people mad but it is what it is. If they don't like the phone they don't have to buy it.

--rant begin--
I don't care about those opinions anymore. The phone's just perfect for me and whoever else doesn't like it can go off to whatever phones forum they're praising so much. Probably just jealous how amazing the design is.
Anyways I'm looking forward to Android Pie. HTC has done a fairly decent job in the past with releasing major Android updates for flagships.
A redesign of sense would be a nice thing to see. Even maybe some additional control. I'm a stickler for a clean UI and some of the persistent status bar icons that can only be snoozed ie BOOMSOUND. I get it, it's a quick toggle to switch between theater and music mode. Just get rid of it and add it as a quick settings toggle. The constant icon and banner is annoying to me.
Also they should add HTC Music app to the play store so if someone wanted it. They could easily download it. Since it's such a popular app to sideload around HTC forums.
Another thing... Apple sucks when it comes to the Android version of Apple Music. I had an iPhone for a while and still have a Mac. I have a very extensive music library. The Android app is just so sad. For a company previously known for its attention to detail. The app crashes all the time and playlist that's been downloaded/cached to my phone randomly stops playing if disconnect from wifi or go into a bad coverage area. The UI is not fluid at all. It just gives the impression of it being slapped together at the last second and it's been out long enough to see significant improvements.

It can still be used while rooted, it's other mods and Magisk modules that break face unlock for some reason.

Hi i will ask.. my port usb-c is loose when i plug a usb cable on my brand new htc 12. Same thing on my HTC 10 and same thing in the S9 of my friend.. Note: No problem with this to work. After a little search on google it's normal the usb-c is loose. The old micro usb plug do not do that.

Sorry if you tried this already. Is this issue with the same cable? Are the cable OEM cables or third-party?
I have a cheap third-party USB-C cable that one side clips on just fine but if I flip it around the cable comes off easily. While the Anker cables I have fit just fine with no issues
With micro USB the clips that lock cables in place where on the cables not the phone port. With USB-C I don't know where the cable actually clips to.

OEM and third party cable i have tronsmart. The usb-c cable is a bit loose no matter what phone i am trying it. I have the cable a bit loose since the day one on my htc 10. No problem never with charging the phone. It's just that I have the htc 12 and my friend the S9. I just did not thinking before it was a usb-c cable thing.

I just realized that it's the same thing on my nintendo switch and it's a usb-c. So.. is fine!
Have you a quick charge 4.0 ? Which one do you advise me? The USB-C cables you can keep the same? or not?

It's actually the opposite for me. I haven't had any issues with USB-C but always had issues with micro USB. They always wore out quick and HTC doesn't even sell their OEM micro USB cables anymore.
You can claim your charger and cable on warranty but they are on backorder right now.

Would anyone be willing to pledge donations to a great dev who is well on his way with a great ROM? He may be releasing the first RC in a few days but this poor fella is working hard without even owning the HTC U12+. I say we pledge money until we reach the goal and order this bad boy for him.
Amazon should have a pledge service just for this very reason. What say you?

No need to change the charger for that!
Have you a quick charger 4.0 ? Not many charger are available i can see... Why that ?
Any reviews?

I haven't seen a QC 4.0 adapter. I'd guess it's because it isn't a huge upgrade from 3.0. Most decent QC 3.0 chargers had Power Delivery added by the manufacturer. Other than that I don't see anything that much different from 3.0
Always get a cable that meets the power required based on your hardware. Also too achieve the full support make sure it's a USB-C 3.0/3.1 rated cable. There are USB-C cables that are only USB 2.0. Some may support PD most dont.. Just read the specs for it.
For my MacBook I use an Anker Cable that's rated with Power Delivery and support up to 45W. It's DATA speed is 2.0 because it's main purpose is power not speed.
Aukey and Anker make great cables for a great price. Cheap cables from obscure companies you should avoid. They're dirt cheap because they're low quality products and prob cut corners in it's design and manufacturing.

I may be interested in pitching in a bit. I just picked up a U12+ off of Swappa. Going to see how it goes for a few weeks. I need good strong signal for tons of voice calls, and hopefully it's using SCA Carrier aggregation or MIMO to optimize network speed.

There is a lot of clutter. Even worse when connected to Android auto and God forbid you get text or missed calls. I'm sure most of them could've been turned off or snoozed.
However, REALLY!? Come on

Ordered the U12+ online today.
Got e-mail notification that they shipped.
Now begins the waiting game.
I have been refreshing the courier page every 30 mins. I wish they updated more (>.<)"

Weird issue all of a sudden. Edge sense & buttons had become unresponsive (no phone case). First noticed it while in bootloader. Persistent thru out Download, Recovery, and after Android booted up.
Had just flashed magisk (17100) and the TWRP installer 3.2.3-1.
They become functional again for a bit then sieze up again.
Debating RUU and seeing reflashing back to stick fixes it

car accesories?

i opened this thread for discussion about car accesories for the pixel 3.
i'm specially interested in a dual 12v charger (one slot good for the pixel 3, another for standard usb smartphones); and too i'm looking for a phone holder.
anyone having experience with any of these?

I use this one from Aukey. It's half the price of the Anker.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01E764DXM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And no distracting LEDs

I'm using this one from wicked chili.
Looks sleek in my opinion and has just a minor LED. Also not that expansive.

May be just interesting for Europeans, don't know if it's available in the US

I'm using one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071WYF9HP
And one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D9FYBMJ
Liked the combination so much that I bought another set for my other car. They go on sale all the time, so I'd recommend waiting so you don't have to pay full price.

I grabbed this one:

Looking for a BT system that doesn't have the 1-2 second delay like the one built into the car.

USB Type C Car Charger, Nekteck 5.4A USB-C Car Charger Adapter with Integrated Built-in Type-C 3.1 Cord for Google Pixel 3 2/ XL, Galaxy S9/ S9 Plus/Note 8/ S8/ S8 Plus More, Black - Coiled Cord https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CH9NEM2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_m.vfCbV0RKYPA
That's the best car charger I could find. Built in coiled USB C cable (for compactness/neatness) with a regular USB slot to charge additional devices when needed.
Got one of these in mine and the wife's cars and they've worked great since my Nexus 5x days.

Looking for a cable usb a to usb c works well (fast charges) in a qc 3.0 car charger for pixel 3. Any suggestions?

I see that thing is BT 4.1. If it's low latency you're after, look for something that supports BT 5.0. Also if you're looking to use a BT receiver for music or the highest quality sound available right now, look for ones supporting both BT 5.0 and APTX HD.

I saw several options in the thread, but any of them are from amazon. I personally prefer the source - China, where everything from amazon actually is manufactured. Just've got car charger with dual sockets - USB-A and USB-C. It cost me $4.99 at sale, now $6.99:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Baseus-30W-Dual-USB-C-PD-Quick-Charge-QC-4-0-Car-Charger-For-Mobile-Phone/32919769665.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.17524c4dQHBim9
It's Baseus 30W Dual USB C PD Quick Charge QC 4.0 Car Charger. Nicely packed (perfect as a gift). Checked how it works - perfect for Pixel 3 and Pixelbook. Tested both sockets, no surprises, it USB-С rapid charge, in USB-A just charge. It comes pretty fast - ordered Dec 29, delivered Jan 11. It's not overnight, but you know - time is money. About phone folder I use simple one, without any build-it charger for $1.59 or even $1.19 for weird color:

Pretty strong spring, good grip. Again, similar thing at amazon cost way more. This is why if I see something interesting at amazon, I search similar thing at aliexpress and almost always find exact the same thing at approximately half price. Hope it helps.

Agree with Che. Most things on Amazon are overpriced. There's pro's and con's to buying overseas though.
My biggest concern when going through stores like Aliexpress or Wish is quality and customer service (in case you have questions, received the wrong product, etc.) They either take a week or more to get back to you, or don't get back to you at all.
The other issue is the obvious one. Shipping speed.
Other than those things, I've noticed the reviews on those sites seem completely fake. There's a lot of the same type of comment, someone's verbatim, for certain types of products. As an example, check out the comments for bluetooth receivers on Wish. It's easy to spot if you look for it.
Now even with all these things considered and even if they're all true, it doesn't mean the product isn't worth the price. It also doesn't mean the product isn't a high quality one. But how do you really know what you're getting?

The customer service is actually pretty good. Only twice nobody answered my questions, but they just silently refunded in full as I requested. Mostly they reacted literally in hours. I've never tried Wish, I use only Aliexpress or other sites from Alibaba group (you can see list of them at the bottom of their page).

Yeah, this is the real issue if you need something fast. Usually it is in a month, but in holiday season can be way longer (the worst case was 3 months, but I wasn't in rush). Again, as I mentioned - time is money. I was surprised this season - despite of warning of 60-day delivery, they delivered in less than 20 days (ordered Dec 10 2018, delivered before Christmas - wow!). Now many Aliexpress stores have warehouses in the US, so it can be even several days.

About quality and reviews - just use your common sense, like at ebay. As I mentioned, "if you see something interesting at Amazon" - so use Amazon's reviews to get a real review. The brandname at a gadget can be different, but remember OEM - they print whatever name you'd like, so if items look alike, they usually identical. Don't forget Google search, including image search. Also don't forget basic research of a seller - how long the store is active, how many positive reviews, what sort of negative reviews they have - some customers are just inadequate. Also positive reviews can be faked, negative - less likely. And. of course, you are right - it's easy to spot a fake one in both categories.
About returns - have never returned anything there, so have no idea how it works if it does. If something's wrong, a seller at Aliexpress in my case prefer to refund and leave you with a defective item. Once there was a shipping charge, so I discussed with the seller that issue and politely pointed that is illogical to pay for delivery of an non-working gadget and they agreed, refunding a half of the delivery charge, as I offered (I had two identical gadgets in my order and one was dead).
A little experience of interacting with Chinese stores - they value their names pretty much. They don't like to "lose face", so if you have a problem - contact them first instead of opening a dispute right away. Almost always we reached mutually acceptable solution. In case of Aliexpress, as I know, they have pretty strict policy there - if a seller hit 95% or less of positive feedback, Aliexpress will kick them out. This is why they are attentive, expecting your high (5 stars) feedback in return. It's better to lose some bucks, than whole business. Also keep in mind cultural differences - it's normal for a Chinese to see business relations as friend's relations. So don't hurt their feelings - it pays back. As everywhere.
Hope you are not bored to death by my long note.

Yeah I end up not getting it as Mazda actually made a retrofit kit available to enable Carplay and Android Auto in the CX9. So I went that route instead and it works really well now.

I don't blame you there. I'd much rather go with something that is built in than an extra box you have to plug into a jack and hide somewhere.
