I just bought an HTC box that plugs into the phone's USB, I wonder if it's the same deal...
My old G1 and MyTouch had no headphone jack, instead there was a USB adapter, and the sound is piped through the USB...
I wonder if that's standard, or just something HTC jerry rigged.
I'm hoping it's standard, so that I can hide this box in the dashboard of my car, run a line from the headphone jack on the box to the aux in on my stereo, and just plug the USB cable in to charge and get audio out of my phone.
...from your experience though, sounds like a no go.
Sounds like it could work, let me know!

I am thinking about getting a Verizon gnex. One specific function I am looking for is screen mirroring or navigation only output to my car DVD player. My DVD player only has component inputs. Yellow, red, white. Is there an adapter that would patch into that, and what are the video output possibilities on the device so far?

I as well was looking into the same thing. I couldn't find one one the web anywhere I looked. So if you can't find one there may be an alternative. You could try to cook up your own adapter if you know a little bit about circuitry and have some soldering skills.
Hope this helps

You will need a MHL to HDMI cable as well as an HDMI to composite converter box such as this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0047PDBP0/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1328454437&sr=8-1
Unfortunately that box needs to be powered so you will need to either get a DC to AC inverter to plug in to the cigarette lighter and then plug in the adapter that came with the box or find something that will scale the DC voltage from the car battery to whatever voltage is required by the converter.
It sounds complicated but isn't really. Good luck!

And is screen mirror a choice?

Probably stupid question but I am still confused. does this phone have HDMI out? I read it does but there is no port.
Yes, Same plug as your power.
Www.monoprice.com has cords for just a few bucks goodluck

[Nice, thanks for the super quick reply. What type of HDMI cord does it need? because I know a regular HDMI cord will not do given the size of the micro USB port.
I guess something like this, id shop around see if you could find a better price from link above otherwise $15 aint that bad of a price

Its called MHL. It is a technology that is phenomenal and is being overlooked for the most part. Even phones that are capable of it don't advertise that they are capable of it. It is a simple adapter that plugs into your USB on your device and gives you a full size HDMI port to connect to your TV.
Does it charge your phone at the same time?

Your phone plugs into mhl, mhl has hdmi to tv. Mhl also needs a power source, so it is plugged into the wall. I think it is able to keep charged.
This creates full mirroring. Meaning you can play angry birds on your phone and have it up on the big screen

In my car I have a USB connector for iPod an such in the glove department. Is there a USB Bluetooth device that I can pair with my phone?

You'll probably want to list the car and stereo you are using. But I doubt there is anything that would work since the car/system probably doesn't have the intelligence to use it ie drivers or interface. If it did it would be built in already.

It will allow me to use a ipod/usb storage device on the USB connector(as aux).

That is the only type of connection I could think of also. But that connects to headphone jack not USB. And if you have a headphone input you would rather use that then Bluetooth anyway cause it would sound better imo.

I just don't like that thing poking out. Then having to charge the thing. I'm already going to have a phone charging wires. I'll continue looking. I'll see how a new Bluetooth stereo would fit.

I hate the cosmetics of chords being everywhere too. I actually switch between BT and direct cable aux. depending on how long I'll be driving, what I'm listening to, GPS nav, etc. I'll say though, even with newer BT 3.0 and DSP eq apps on our phone (doesn't matter what ROM) aux cable will give you BEST quality. Trust me you'll be missing a bunch of bass that just can't be transmitted wirelessly as great as direct cable connection. If you're in the market, I'd suggest going to a few places they'll let you test their stereo models with your phone (try before you buy).

Any one have a permanent fix for the Micro usb port? I've fix it so many times the back is getting loose.
Afraid to apoxy it down.

Don`t apoxy the back. How are you repairing it? Just curious other members have had this problem as well.
I have to keep soldering the USB port to the Kindle's Mother Board. Running out of cooper to solder on.

I see I wonder about jb weld if it does not transmit a current it would be perfect for extra support after your soder job, if it transmits current it would be a disaster.
Ok, think it's going to last.
Put a little piece of a small zip tie down in the groove on the case were the usb socket fits into.
Screwed the MB down good, could tell it was a tight fit.
The power button hung up the first few times I turned on and off. But it settled in.
The usb socket doesn't wiggle at all. The solder conection is holding.

Yes there is, go to ebay and search for Samsung Galaxy Note II USB Dock Connector Charging Port Flex Cable
there are a bunch of them on ebay for $10~$20. You can get just the usb port for about $5 and solder it on the board, but it's a pain. I would suggest just order the whole board and replace it.
hope that helps!:cyclops:
If I may ask, my samsung usb cable fits very loudly to the gn2. A very slight motion will unplug the cable. I found this annoying, but also thought it would be useful for the very situation that happened to you.
How did yours simply not unplug?
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
I'm not sure to be honest I thought the exact thing would happen too, but it twisted into a weird angle into the micro usb port. The cable was kinda messed up too
