HTC desire plug and other device compatibility

Hello,
Just a quick query. Are we able to use the USB plug that comes with the desire to charge other devices such as an ipod?
I'm going on a trip in a few days and I'd much rather carry one plug instead of two

Quick reply, you cannot.

Of course you can!
You just need the right lead (USB to iPod) to use instead of the USB to MicroSD.

Dave

I confirm you can, i've charged my iPod nano, other microUSB devices and miniUSB devices off the charger

MHL / HDMI

I bought MHL + HDMI cable to connect my #galaxynexus to my Samsung tv but it didn't work, I bought it from ebay and it's mark as for #galaxynexus comptable... Or what did I miss? Do I need to do extra configuration? Help please

Did you power the MHL by hooking up a powered micro USB to the female micro USB port?

I didn't understand what you are talking about but I do hook the MHL to the HDMI cable to my pc...
What should I do first?

Btw I'm using a custom rom AOkP build27

As well as connecting your phone and TV up, it will require more power. There is a microUSB port on the side of the MHL adapter, plug your charging cable into it.

Oh okay! Thats means I still need to buy an axtra connector/cable to make it work?

And it went too far

If you're still having trouble after you get the charger plugged in, keep this in mind. My GN will only enter MHL mode if I plug the cable in with the phone's screen turned off and the TV already tuned to the correct input. If I plug the cable in with the phone turned on, or switch the TV to the right input after I've plugged it in, it won't work. I have a cheap Chinese cable though. Good luck!

With my Samsung MHL adapter from eBay the wireless LAN stops working immediately when I plug it in... as far as I found a lot of people have that problem :-( :-( I tried several different USB power sources, nothing worked

Sorry for that, was just making fun but it's not funny to, am very sorry...

Thanks, so far so good, mines cost abouts 37€ ( MHL + HDMI cable "5 meters ") and it's working just fine...
Thanks guys, now am extremely enjoying my gnex

[SOLVED] my T989 USB port is dead, but I know what caused it; now it only charges

That means no more Odin, and no more USB drag & drop transfer
tried in CWR mode mount
tried mounting normally
tried on several Win 7 machines (comes up as Unknown device)
tried on several Linux machines (it no longer gets detected)
i'm unable to do USB on the Go anymore, it was able to before
the problem started after i pluged in MHL adapter to HDMI
it still works on HDMI if i plug in the MHL
but, i can't find a way to reverse it
i tried even Wiping Data, Wiping DalviK, and Wiping Cache
i even tried flashing a new ROM in CWR

Dude that sux. It still charge tho? And computer?

Have you tried a different computer?
Nevermind im a retard.....

i know a few guys had similar issues here before about losing USB or it not longer being detected
i just wanted to compare notes, and see if they also had this happened after doing something with he MHL adapter or something else.
yeah, it kinda sucks now, i won't be able to depend on Odin to save me any more

the Note is not stable in Tmo, i can't use it as a phone yet, not reliable enough
i also had the same problem on the Note after trying the HDMI on it
however on the Note i can still do USB on the Go

Yesterday my computer was not reading my device either, but after a reboot it was good to go.

that's definitely not it, as i'm in a computer lab, i have access to over a dozen computers & laptops of all sizes to test, and i pointed that out already on the OP message

try with different usb cables, it might solve that problem.

Did you super wipe? Also, try a USB jig to get into download.

as in, it does not turn yellow or green in Odin
on the USB driver it doesn't change to the ADB something something (forgot the full name)

unfortunately, i do not have another USB to microUSB cable at my disposal, nor does any of my co-workers
i have a good collection at home, so... i'm hoping one of them can save me else the USB port really got damaged by the HDMI thingy

Good luck with that...hopefully all u need is a cable

hopefully it's just the cable. Also, if you have spare Nokia CA-101D usb cable, try with that. It might work.

Hopefully, that's what it is. I had the same problem with my Transformer. It would charge, but comps wouldn't recognize it through USB. It was solved by purchasing a new cable.
While not exactly the same, since the Transformer has a proprietary port, it seems to be a problem with integrated charging/data cables being used today. The internal wires that carry the data fail, but the power wires remain functional.

I had the exact same thing happen. Mine was also the USB cable. Go to ebay and order a few. I paid 10 bucks for 3 OEM samsung cables

Update
It was indeed the HTC USB cable that decided to quit on me
the faithful servant has been with me since like forever... oh well, at least it still can retire as a charging only cable. (gonna sort out the pins to get it to be detected as AC cable instead of USB csble)
tried the original one from Samsung and another one from BlackBerry and they both work fine, even the cheap generic ones from China

I had the same problem with my HTC cable and I called HTC and they replaced it with another one without asking me to return the old one..I was still under manufacturer warranty.. I called Samsung the other day and asked if my cable died on me will they replace it.. They said yes, but I will have to send in the old one first so they can check it before sending me another one.. See how different company do things..crazy.

Xperia play HDMI out cable?

I don't know if I'm posting this in the rite thread but I've seen a few HDMI to micro USB cables on eBay & amazon. I'm considering buying one but can anyone tell me if it actually works as I've read on a few places it doesn't have the speed through micro USB to support it.
Thanks.

I think it will not run, i saw some videos on youtube like "Minecraft Phone: Sony Ericsson Xperia Play" if you pay attention will see that the hdmi cable is conected on Xperia a little to left of the original USB port, i think that is an another version of the phone try to see on the gamepad, says Verizon, it can be a prototype.

It doesn´t work.

There is no way to use this phone with HDMI. The ones that people have seen are Dev units only.

Did you know all micro USB cables are not the same? Do you have issues rooting?

So I have been looking through all of the Q & As and ive noticed many issues with phones getting stuck in certain steps while rooting, updating or other times when we are required to plug our phones into the USB Ports.
Well I had the same issue a few nights ago, literally spent all night.trying to solve it and getting help from various users here.
one solution presented to me was to use a different USB cord in my case I was using a blackberry branded USB cord which I had bought off of Ebay, I switched to an OEM Tmobile My Touch 4G Slide cable and voila! Issues solved!
I had issues rooting and updating my S2 & also an Infuse 4G
So apparently not all micro USB cables are made the same.
Sorry if this was posted in the wrong section...
Mods excuse me if it was.
In closing with any and all issues while connected to your computer try using a different USB cable preferably OEM

Its true. Some USB cables are much better than others. Especially OEM ones.
I've had the same issue before. Thanks for sharing!

The mytouch 4g cable might present issues as well.,I have one and any time I use it
My battery% gets froze at 100% until I reset it couple times or couple hours later it'll drop from 100 to 70%.

I believe that too, since ive had no issues at all with mytouch cable.
Like I said I think the only issue is the fact that some cables are not USB 2.0 so as long as you are certain that your cable is USB 2.0 youll be good

I had a really weird issue with some USB cables. Some times it wouldn't show mass storage but it would charge through the computer BUT if I slowly put the mini USB wire into the phone at an angle the mass storage would pop up. I was literally tweaking when I soft bricked my phone and the computer wouldn't recognize it in download mode. Kept trying to reinstall the drivers come to find out it was the cable the whole time.
