Hi. I'm wondering if desire can work as a USB host like droid does? I cannot post links, but I think you know what I'm talking about. Would be nice to use a real keyboard with it..
I can't add anything useful so this is a shameless bump I'm afraid!
As far as I know though, USB Host is a software or firmware capability, and that for a few years USB hardware has been capable of both (cheaper to make one chip than two).
Would be fantastic to copy images etc off to a portable hard disk.

Actually im pretty sure it's different chip. For example, the HTC G1 was possibly the most hevily modified phone in history and they never got usb host on it. The different chipset is called USB OTG http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go Ive spent ages looking for datasheets to find out if we have a compatable chipset but could never find any.

oups, jumped the gun, this is not what it was about, I have no idea if the Desire can do that, I'd be interested if it could though
I think it´s posible...
Don give up yet ppl, our desire it´s perfectly capable usb-otg device. They omitted this feature because of deadlines, desire hd and z have it and htc plans on marketing an dlna adapter in q4 for them.
Notice desire (bravo) capabilities before reaching the market : http://gdgt.com/htc/desire/specs/
and after http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2251&c=htc_desire_htc_bravo . Knowing that I´m searching the web for hacks to enable usb-otg on mi bravo like the guy that did it on his droid. cheers
The following links may help paraipanakos:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702742 - USB Host mode for Desire
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694427 -Nexus One USB host driver
Hardware on Desire(Bravo) and Nexus One(Passion) are nearly identical to each other internally.
From what I remember of the Nexus One thread (I owed a N1 before my Desire) you need a special cable (in order to provide power to the secondary device) and special drivers (to provide the host side) but it is possible.
edit: and I forgot, you need to flash the kernel, to use USB host mode, Flash back to use USB slave mode.
Hi,
Is this item will work with our phones?
Link changed:

That's from a Mac to a TV

Yep. As far as I can see, this is a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI cable. This will NOT work on your phone. The cable simply won't fit in your device.
Wrong link
Sorry wrong link i copied ,this one i'm talking about.

A quick Google and YouTube search showed me that there are more people who use such a device and that you can indeed use it to connect your phone (HTC WildFire S) to a TV. So it should work. But before you buy it, make sure to check if your TV has an HDMI jack and make sure you have an HDMI to HDMI cable, else you should buy one.

As they say in the thread, the Desire S does not have the right port for that... Sorry, but you can't!

Hehe man i already know its not working for desire s.
I am asking for wildfire s
I checked out the ends from the pics and they are indeed micro usb. So theoretically it will work. But in practice... You'll probably have to be the guinea pig to try it. But if you succeed, it may just make you a legend 'round here.
In my opinion you might need to code a it in a rom so that it recognises and gives you something "out" on the TV

BUMP. Rom makers!
A quick call to the HTC Helpdesk taught me that the usage of (MHL) MicroUSB to HDMI cable is only possible on the HTC Sensation or the HTC EVO 3D. Sorry, but it's not for the HTC Wildfire S...

I'm sure they are talking about there own MHL cables. Which they product for few htc devies. ( like this one http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=209996 )
They didnt make cable for wildfire s its why they are telling only for few device.
What about RCA cable, did you ask them? ( actually they are not making RCA cable so answer will be no again (RCA cable is for IPOD anyway ,but working with android devices))

I don't think it'll work. I asked them about the MHL functionality of the MicroUSB port of the HTC Wildfire S and the guy said that it can't be done. Sure, you can try, but I don't think it's possible... It would most likely be a waste of money. But then again, if you feel like you have too much money, go for it.
EDIT: If you do go for it, I cannot take responsibility when it doesn't work or when it damages your phone, bank account balance or whatever. It will be YOUR responsibility..
I does the wfs have DLNA? If so HTC media link adapter, if not well its usb to hdmi. Before you get a cable make sure your tv has a hdmi port

I really have no idea what you're trying to say, but ehhm, the guy I spoke to at the HTC Helpdesk told me it is possible to link your phone to your TV with DLNA, if you have the proper equipment for it (he said you could then share your phone's screen via WiFi).
I know DLNA thing. my tv have dlna. but i want to play game or use apps /web browser on my tv (+bluetooth keyboard etc)( LIVE STREAM). I searched on google and saw wildfire s using 5 pins micro usb and this cable is 5 pins to 19 pins . I think im going to order a cheap cable from ebay.
But still maybe i will need tv out app (few android devices have settings for tv out) so rom makers please go for it
BTW i loled .

You can try, but I doubt it'll succeed. Once you did try, tell us if you succeeded or not. At least that'll give us some definitive answer.
I found this cable. not in stock but it says for wildfire s ????????

I have a GT-N7000 but lost the OEM adapter and I need to replace it. I have been searching several sources for the OEM specs but to no avail. Could anyone please give me the correct specs or direct me to a source for a replacement? Thanks
I have a T-Mobile HTC one m8 and just bought a cheap Westinghouse TV. I'm trying to hook my phone up so I can watch videos and live tv on my tv from my phone. I just bought a MHL cable from radio shack for like 40$ and when I hook it up nothing happens. It doesn't even seem to recognize my phone. I switched the tv source to hdmi where it's plugged in and it says no source. I don't have WiFi where I'm at so this is the only way I can connect. I don't understand why it's not working. Is there a certain setting on my phone I should change or did I not buy the right cable? Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks

Not all cables work with all devices. The best for the M8 are those made by HTC or LG. The adapter needs to be the standard 5 pin configuration. If you got one made for, let's say Samsung, it would have a non-standard 11 pin setup.
I've never used them myself, so I don't know about any settings for them, but you may have to mount it in setting > storage
The one I got was from Radio shack and it wasn't cheap it cost me 40$. I just looked in storage and I didn't see anything for mounting as far as connections go. But I should be able to do what I asked right? Just mirror the screen on my tv via micro usb to hdmi

It doesn't matter how much it costs if it isn't meant for your phone. What brand and model? Does it have a standard 5 pin configuration? Also, what version of MHL does it use? I believe the M8 is v1.0.
I have a tmobile HTC m8. Damm I didn't know there were different types. I just thought there was a standard. I'm not sure how many pins it has. It doesn't say it anywhere in the instructions. I'm not sure which cable to buy that would work

I googled it, and it's a crappy cable. One star reviews saying it doesn't work. http://www.radioshack.com/radioshac...tion-link-mhl-cable/1500464.html#.VSrCO_nF-ao
I'd take it back and search online for one that is confirmed to work with the M8. You can almost certainly find one that costs less as well.
This one on eBay works perfectly. 221664152668
Personally I'd much rather use a chromecast.

That sucks. I just saw them up 2 days ago, but yeah, they are gone today. Just get some different ones from Amazon or something?

I bought one extra on Amazon to get me by, but I really do like the OnePlus cables to be honest.
Just get some good branded ones like orzly as another member purchased cheap one from Amazon and is repenting now
not available in india amazon yet.
Hello, I've just ordered one on Aliexpress. Type "oneplus cable original type c" in search field.
If it helps...
One of the moderators in the official OnePlus forums mentioned that some batches had faulty connectors and they are investigating the issue.
I'd say you should wait a few weeks and check back if they're available.
The "OEM" ones on Aliexpress is still expensive. If you're in the US or CA, Amazon would be a much better bet.
All I want is a 2m A to C lead with a right angle type C plug, it's not much to ask is it??
No, thought not

oneplus two (and one too) is very cranky for cables. You can replace it with nillkin microusb cable, it is charging both phones well.
