HTC Thunderbolt video out cable?

So I just got a new '11 Ford Explorer Limited and it includes a composite input. I was able to connect a camera and get it to display itself on the touchscreen so I was wondering if I can mirror the TB screen onto the touchscreen. Is there any cable available?

Sadly the TB has no TV out so no you cant.

this sucks

I second that...

I'm not sure which sucks more, the lack of a video out, or the fact that the auto industry is about three generations behind on everything when it comes to consumer electronics... composite input eh? How handy, I guess I will connect my portable VCR to it... <sigh>

so with a certain app, this wouldnt work?

Has no one searched? I try not to ever be the one that *****es about searching, but I personally started a thread on launch day about this, and someone has already tried this.

Yeah but with having a phone in hand/research, something could change. Search that.

Someone on another board says no....
forums.androidcentral.com/thunderbolt-accessories/79809-does-droid-incredible-micro-usb-rca-cable-work-thunderbolt.html
well it says Im not allowed to post hyperlinks on this board yet so you will have to piece that together but someone bought a cable to try it and:
"Nope, the cable can't be used with the Thunderbolt.
The micro-USB plug on the cable is non-standard in shape and contains two extra nubs that prevent it from being inserted into the TBolt.
It was worth a try."

One round-about option if you are determined to do this, is to utilize the "DLNA" capability of the TB. That is the "reason" there is no video, or even better, HDMI out on the TB.
You can buy this from HTC:

I imagine you could find other DLNA to composite video adapters out there, as well.

agreed. these cars should come with hdmi. and how about a capacitive touch screen. so annoying having to press down on the screen so hard. feels like my old wimo phone

You can only use it for media on the device. That is one reason for hdmi/compsite or whatever video capability. I want a video out to stream from netflix and or vulkano. This is part of the reason I may* jump to the bionic when it comes out.

It's cool that it has DLNA I guess if your TV supports it, but I think it was kind of a bad decision by HTC. First of all 99% of Thunderbolt owners probably don't even know the phone has it, most of them probably don't have DLNA capable TV's, and HTC's "media link" adapter for people who don't have DLNA TV's costs like $150. I would rather buy a $10 HDMI cable and be done with it.

Oh yeah, I think it's a bad decision too. also thinking about the bionic...

Its not necessary. you can access the cardock mode without having to use usb or any thing else. Using launcher pro or super manager, you can set up a shortcut to cardock mode.

I understand that and I have cyanogen mod which has the cardock app. I'm looking to make my own hardware cardock. I have seen people use USB and magnets and such on other phones but what I'm trying to attempt is to lose 1 cord hanging from the phone.
Is it possible to charge phone and play music out of just the micro USB port of the phone. I hate having wires running out of the top and side. Its a hassle to plug in two if I can do away with one.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk

you'll have to find out what is triggering the phone to output analog audio over the USB lines. I'm assuming, there is a voltage put on pin5 of the USB (ID pin) telling the phone. "You are in a cardock. Load cardock application. Route analog audio to the USB pins". Again, I'm ASSuming it is using the data +/- lines as L/R audio outs.
I have 0 proof of any of this. Just as an EE, how I might do it. In short, it'll probably cost you more to build one, than to just buy the official on off ebay/amazon.
Also, since you're using Cyanogen, as am I -- with cardock and desktop dock, Cyanogen does NOT hve the ability to route audio through USB yet. You'll have to use the 3.5mm jack or bluetooth(?).

Ohhh that sucks... I'm sure cyanogenmod will fix that soon. Guess ill order the official. My main issue is I'm going to run this behind the dashboard so no hanging wires. Also not taking up my cigarette lighter. I didn't want to cut up the original cardock but I can manage. Thanks. Ill keep looking around.
It doesn't have to activate car dock to satisfy me but Audio out of USB is a must

Does the Motorola atrix car dock only plug into the USB port of the phone or does it use the HDMI port as well?
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk

Only the USB not the HDMI.
You can put all the resistors you want, but cyangen as a ROM doesn't do it. Otherwise, it should work with the official one. I doubt it will work with a generic one, or a homemade one.
If this feature is a must for you, then go to a Pi variant of the official rom. That works great. I had like 17-18 hours on a charge. With 8 of those streaming pandora at work.
I froze the CarDock application on my Pi rom, and everything still worked (audio through USB.)
If you want usb cables, www.monoprice.com.
As for the HTC thing, make sure it is not a properitary connector to HTC phones, like the motorola docks are to motorla phones. Ie) The Resistor on pin 5 of the HTC one might be 100k, while the one in the motorola one might be 200k.
Seriously, its easier to get the official one. Theres only one cable from the dock (microusb) Which splits into a USB-A and 3.5mm. And you can get extension cables from monoprice.
Good luck.

Wow... thanks. I meant to mention I have an extended battery so the phone is bigger than stock. And I wanted the ability to buy a new phone and keep my DIY Dock installed. But HTC and Motorola differ grrr.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk

You found out for sure? I'm not saying there ARE, but they MIGHT be.
That sucks man. The battery pack probably won't fit on the cardock, it MIGHT on the regular dock. But the car dock has a back to it, and a latch that latches on the phone side. I HATE cases, and prefer skins. I had to trim the side of the skin from corner to corner on the USB side, just so it fit into the docks...little room for anything larger than stock phone.
I suggest...hacking up the official cardock or maybe the regular dock (instead of one cable, it has two jacks -- a microusb and a 3.5mm), and using a Pi-rom.

Ok so my goal to achieve is.. a permanent hidden wire behind the dash.
Kind of blows motos differ from HTC.. puts a kink...
I also hate cases but! With this extended battery my phone EASily lasts 2 days with decent usage. Like navigation all weekend. I had my stock back and battery in today with moderate use like Pandora at work and I was 10% by lunch. Possibly because I wiped the battery stats this morning from the Tom change. Allso I hear there is a battery drain in cyanogenmod.
I'm going to search up the pi-rom
I will most likely sucker up and buy the moto dock and use my stock battery :-(
I hate to cut the dock up when u can always resale it with the phone with the attrix 5g comes out lol

Why cant everyone just make compatible things with cwm recovery from rom manager

I got it installed. Not too thrilled it seems like a themed stock rom. I will deal with it until progress on cyanogen goes further
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk

you have to remember this particular rom came out right after the bootloader unlocked. before Cyanogen even started.
All there was was 4.5.91 so every custom rom was based on that.
It was also done before a lot of the other clockworkmod recoveries were around... tenfars was the only viable one at the time. Hell, I even tried CWM's and it didn't work for C7 either. I still had to go to romracers recovery .
It is a themed and somewhat debloated 4.5.91, says so right in the description.
Extremely stable. Use Titanium Backup to freeze some other processes and you should easily be able to get 17hours on one full charge with 8hours of that streaming pandora over HSPA (stock battery). I do that all the time at work. And to top it off, the dock functions WORK.
I also changed from the launcher it comes with to ADW...to give it more of a stock feel.

I've been running π crust lately. It's pretty good. Not a fan of most of the themed roms.

I actually restored back to c7 because my home button quit working.
I noticed battery performance right off the bat with pi crust. I liked having blur but not logging in lol. The sticky notes from it are nice.
17 hours on stock battery with 8 hours streaming Pandora sounds nice. I actually stream 3hours of I heart radio in the morning than switch to Pandora.

I know, it's pretty silly isn't it? Not only are there no accessories out that use it, but apparently from what I read the charge isn't even enough to sustain the phone while it's on. Definitely a big dropped ball. There's really no excuse for that on a flagship phone.

Seriously!
I sure thought long and hard about the Razor because Moto "Puts out" when it comes to accessories and the Lapdock looks pretty promising if they get the bugs out of the new one.
There are plenty of issues to be irritated about with this phone (flaky data connection anyone?) and I have managed to keep my disappointment tempered since with 4.0.4 coming (SOON DAMMIT!) it should solve a lot of them but thank you for reminding me of another

May I suggest waiting another 11 days for the car dock?

I made my own cradle charger out of wood just so I could have one.
It appears the POGO pins only accept max of .5A, so it charges pretty slow. I use it as my overnight charger.
If you were using a car dock with GPS running, it won't sustain it at all, given that 1A chargers barely keep up if you're running nav.
I do want to say that I am really unhappy with the lack of accessories for it as well as the fragmentation of having two galaxy nexus form factors to deal with, which further reduces the desire for 3rd party accessory makers to look at making stuff for our phone. I feel like Samsung really blew it with this one.

It's entirely Samsung, nothing to do with Google. They built the phone. Unless of course, VZ actually said - our phone has to be a different form factor, in which case they can die in a fire.
Someone at Samsung with some common sense should of said, gee golly, maybe we should just thicken up the GSM version half a mm, throw in a bigger battery and everyone would be happy.

Docking Station

Hi,
so soon my nexus will be here and after over 6 years with iPhone I'm moving to try android.
one think i always loved about my iphone is the docking station, makes life better and easier.
now with the iphone its very easy to find docking station that fit 100% right, and then i dont have to worry about damage to the charging port, the phone is held up very tight and i never had any problem.
on the android camp its harder to find phone specific accessories so heres what i manage to find:
im looking for a cheap solution but can pay a little more if its really worth it
cheap:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-D...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item2ecab22c6d
expensive:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-M...Phone_PDA_Cables_Adapters&hash=item43c158ab0c
the expensive one at least comes with a cable, and heres a video i found that shows that this product might be a better choice:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTyGmNTh6iA
i just dont want the device to wobble freely hanging only by the usb connector.
i also hear that micro usb is much weaker then apple connectors so im a bit worried.
any1 have any experince with such products? what do u think? am i risking damage to my usb port? thanks.

IMHO ... yes, you are risking damaging the port. I personally wouldn't even consider using one as I've gone through a bunch of phones that the Micro-USB eventually stopped working properly. The Nexus one was notorious for that problem as have been quite a few other devices. Micro-USB just doesn't hold up over time.
Now, back to your problem. One thing the Nexus 5 has over the iPhone is Qi Wireless charging. So, might I suggest stop thinking in terms of how you would plugin in your iPhone to charge it, and to sync it with iTunes. All of this can be done using apps that sync wirelessly (iSyncr etc) and a good Qi charger.
Here's a good starting point for a "dock" like standing position while your N5 charges:
http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-DT910-Wireless-Charging-Stand/dp/B00A3NCC8M

It's important for you to note the orientation of the Micro USB port on the phone. On nexus devices reversed compared to the samsung phones those docks are for. I own the dock on the first link. It will not work with the Nexus.
You need one that's pin-side facing you. Unless you want the phone facing away from you
It's an annoying aspect of the Micro USB standard -- when it comes to direction, there is no standard.
DIY: Not ideal because it doesn't LOOK great but does WORK great. I bought the dock from that first link for my S3 and because of its 'universal'ness it was extremely wobbly, putting much undue strain on the port. I stuck a couple wads of Sugru down on the dock and behind the connector (where the phones back would rest) and stuck my phone in. When it dried after 30 minutes I had a perfect custom fit. Looked like **** though. Function over form in this case.

this...
but this is also a relatively new thing as the Nexus 4 was the "standard" way that everyone is used to (small side up where the Nexus 5 flipped it to small side down)

For charging, I would recomend the Google's wireless charger: https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_Wireless_Charger?id=nexus_wireless_charger. As for syncing, what kind of things are you going to sync from your computer to your phone? On the android side the majority of things can/are synced over wifi or cloud services.

Thanks for all the answers...
I didn't think about orientation lol, i forgot about this issue.. so docking stations seems meh ATM
about wireless chargers... quite expensive IMO and i always fear that since the phone is not being held tightly it might fall and break.
i put my phone on a nightstand near my bed so accidents in the dark could happen, and i also like it when the phone is standing so i can see the screen without picking it up.
so that limits the range of wireless chargers i can use.
syncing is not a problem btw.
good thing i asked here.. i almost bought one of those. i guess ill try to find wireless one that suites me.
thanks again!

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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
