I got today my wondefoo px6 which I ordered on aliexpress. The vendor asked me for multiple pictures of the cables in the car before he shipped the unit, so I'm quite sure that it should be fine. He also told me that the unit was tested before shipment.
Now I plugged the cable in the car but it won't boot. (I wasn't yet able to plug in the antenna as an adapter is still missing)
So the fan in the back doesn't run and there is no light or anything loading/blinking. Screen just remains black.
Anyone an idea why it won't boot? Or what else I could try?
Some pictures:

Is it an mtcd device and what did reseller suggest when contacted for support
So I managed it to boot up. So if anyone has the same problem, I followed this steps (maybe do also first some research on can bus adapter/decoder):
Check if you have 12v on the black/yellow wire on every single output until the end
Now check if the black/red cable has 12v when the engine is powered on (the can bus adapter if you have one should handle this, in my case its the wrong decoder)
If black/yellow and black/red have 12v then it might be the device which has a problem
In my case the can bus adapter (which handles the 12v on the red wire) did not send the ignition signal when the engine is powered on. So if thats your case you can try to bridge the yellow and red wire (this will send 12v to the red wire). After that my device powered on.
Here is a picture how I bridged the yellow and red cable (first I removed the can bus decoder)
This is an image of my can bus decoder:
I hope this will help anyone in the future. Good luck!

Sorry I thought the title is clear, it's a wondefoo px6 and I don't really have more information.
But anyways I fixed it. As I have a Mercedes A160 W168 I connected the Red wire to the A7 wire from the car and now it works perfectly. So there is no can bus adapter needed anymore.

This is a multi-part question so please read carefully
Unless it's my only option, I do NOT want to purchase a car charger made specifically for the EVO b/c of the Micro-B connector. I do, however, have plenty of car chargers that have a Mini-B connector. Now, I know I can't use those b/c they won't fit, BUT, I have my old USB "dongle" from my Touch Pro, which has an audio plug plug in it and the audio plug is next to the usb IN. This benefits me greatly b/c the setup in my car makes it a pain to have a charger going into the bottom and the audio going into the top. This way I could plug both, car charger AND audio into the dongle and plug the dongle into my phone. This worked beautifully w/ my Hero but the Hero had a Mini-B so the dongle fit right in.
Now, to make the dongle fit into my EVO, I have a tiny converter plug which has a female Mini-B and a male Micro-B.
So my question is this: since there is so much info on here regarding fast-charging, regular charging, amperage, voltage, etc.; please tell me what specs does my charger need so that it won't ruin the battery.
Like I said, I've got plenty of Mini-B chargers - do I need a 5v, 3v, 1 amp, 0.5 amp?

Do you actually get sound out doing it this way? I was always under the impression that even with a mini to micro adapter sound still would not come out using the HTC adapter.
If this works for you I need to get a mini to micro...would make my in car setup look so much better! Instead of the whole on plug on top and bottom that I have going on.
Physically impossible.
The Hero had an ExtUSB port, which is a port physically compatible with Mini-USB but has extra pins for audio in addition to the power and data pins.
The Evo has a standard microUSB port, which only has power and data pins. There's no way to get audio out of the microUSB port on the Evo.
The only ways to get audio out are the headphone port, the HDMI port, and Bluetooth.
Anyway, I'm in the same boat. I had a car mount for my Hero that let me just plug the one cable in, and it provided audio, microphone, and power all at once. I just ordered a new car stereo with Bluetooth instead for the Evo.
Dang...I could go the bluetooth route...I just don't like playing with bluetooth, idk why.
My experience in the past is that Bluetooth has been more than a little finicky, but so far with the Evo and two car stereos (a Boss 755DBI and a JVC KD-R810) it's been rock solid. I actually like being able to leave it in my pocket or take it down from the mount without interrupting the audio signal or call.
Yeah, I am thinking about getting the Kensington LiquidAUX, and giving bluetooth a go. My stereo only has a AUX input, so I need to get something if I want bluetooth.
Plus, the remote would allow me to control without having to have the phone out, so I can leave it in my pocket if I feel to lazy to put it in my mount

I had that thing with my Hero, and it rarely worked at all, let alone well. Maybe it'll be better with the Evo.
Be sure to buy it somewhere you can return it.
I would like to purchase a new cd head unit for my car and use my Zune Pass on my WP7 device to play all my music via USB.
Why USB and not 3.5mm aux cable?
1 usb cable vs 1 usb cable + 1 aux cable
I would like to be able to charge my WP7 device and control volume/play/pause/etc from the car CD head unit rather than my WP7 device
1. Has anyone tried this or have another method to get this to work?
2. How is the quality of streaming music over bluetooth?
After searching the forums I found this post related to the galaxy s:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726403&highlight=cz509
thanks
you cannot use usb and streaming music on any platform.
When you use a usb connector, then you are using your phone as usb storage device, that is why you control music from the head unit. This is not possible currently on wp7 since you cannot use your phone connected to a computer without zune installed.
The post you linked was for BT audio out, which works the same as the 3.5 jack, not usb.
any comments on the quality of BT audio out?

I use the the 3.5 jack.
I thought about BT audio but so many people have had trouble with winmo and Bt that I didn't want to spend 150.00 for the module to find out it didn't work.
3.5 - RCA cable....
Thats the best way to do it... Most car head units have an RCA AUX IN on the back.
Attach the the 3.5 - RCA cable to the head unit via the RCA and plug in a 3.5 - 3.5 cable to the phone.
Thats what I'm doing now....
It's in fact the BEST way to get the most out of the audio decoder as it goes from the phone - amp - speakers/sub, so the phone can be on low imput *best way* and the amp does all the work making it sound wonderful.
here is a pic of the one cable solution...

or the smaller version i have that i just plug in the extra cable from the glove box when i need it as the end just pops out from under the head unit with no long cables to hide.
bluetooth
bluetooth stereo is the best way to go i've been using it since windows mobile. sound quality is very good i don't notice the difference with aux cable but i have one in my car for my zune. with bluetooth you can control simple actions like you would on your phone like change tracks and volume and mine can also make calls and it shows you the name of the person calling you in the stereo lcd
Hello all,
Today I was excited to find a cable that I'd ordered last week from Hong Kong on ebay had arrived.
Micro USB MHL to HDMI Cable Adapter HDTV For Samsung Galaxy S2
Well if it works on the S2 then it probably works on the Note. Well I plugged an HDMI cable into my Dell 1920 x 1200 monitor, that cable into the adapter and then a micro USB power cable into the micro USB power socket of the device.
Doesn't work
Hmm. Its a pretty simple device. Well I tried swapping micro USB cables in case it works differently with MHL or non MHL cables. Still does nothing. Damn.
Maybe it requires particular software to drive the video. Well no joy yet. If anyone has some suggestions then I'm happy to hear them. It was pretty cheap. But I wish it worked...
In case you were thinking of getting one of these. Here is the one that I bought.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/140672291111?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1020wt_1141
Are you aware that it needs power? In your case, your device needs to be connected to computer usb (as it said in item description)

Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
my try as power source an other mirco usb cabel and use the AC - usb adapter
Cable can't too long.
Sent from Taiwan.
I have a similar one to that from China or somewhere and works great, do need to plug in your mains charger for it to work though. Only issue I had was you I needed to screen fit on my telly because it wasn't fitting properly but after I ran that it fit to te screenproperly.
Good news that MHL is working on the note, especially after the news of the Pioneer AppRadio 2.

I wasn't clear enough in what I wrote. I plugged in the micro USB power cable into the devices micro USB power socket just like in that picture, so yes I gave that a go but still didn't work
I bought a Menotek brand adapter off Amazon, and it works great for me. My TV luckily had a USB port (for firmware updates), and it powered the device just fine.
i bought one off ebay and according to the seller it is the original one
it works great
but you need to turn off the data (3g) because it causes disconnects on the lcd
Hey Guys!,
If you are like me, you have all kinds of things needing power by your entertainment center! You have your TV, Blue Ray, Game console, Receiver, sub woofer, satellite or cable box, Android box, Chromecast, Fire Stick, etc! Some of them have those PITA power blocks that either sit 90 degrees or are too large and block another outlet. The same may be said for your computer desk I am sure. New power cubes are starting to show up that offer a solution! BESTEK offers a fairly decent one that provides eight standard 120V outlets and 6 USB 2.4Amp outlets!
Here is the unit on EBAY with a lot more pix http://www.ebay.com/itm/BESTEK-Powe...Protector-with-8A-6-Port-USB-Ch-/122449628497
That was the lowest price I can find on Ebay
BUT....it is much cheaper on Amazon!!! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M5JD5VY. AND for XDA members I was told that if you add code BA6F993J in your Amazon checkout it will be only $30.99!!! This has been extended until August 31, 2017!
This is what the back of my entertainment center looked like:

}
But after replacing the 2 power strips with the BESTEK power cube it looked a bit better:
There are LEDs on the unit to let you know the power is on to your devices. These LEDs are light sensitive so auto-dim for night mode or nice and bright for daytime. The nice thick long power cord also has a low profile 90 degree flat plug for those tight spaces.
The USB ports with 2.4 Amp outputs are enough to trigger Fast or Rapid charge on many devices! So this is perfect for reducing the clutter under that computer desk!
Thanks for reading!
UPDATE: So I got a 2nd one for my computer desk!
Here is what it looked like before:
You can see I had to add another strip PLUS a 3-2 adapter just to make all those power supplies fit.
Here you see how the BESTEK surge protector handles those pesky large adapters:
And here is the result of the addition of the Bestek surge protector under my desk:
The results? The removal of a strip just to accommodate those large adapters, another strip completely empty, and 6 USB ports still available right at my fingertips (or in this case toe tips )
Hello everyone,
I just discovered that my wife's Samsung Galaxy A50 with brand from Orange Poland is very strange phone and probably have something wrong.
Found two issues with him:
Connect in car: after connect to car charger [key car is disconnected] it's power on radio and other devices in car [for example dash cam],
Connect to PC: direct connect by good quality USB-C <--> USB-C don't work - device it's not discovered by PC, or even loading
I also have a second A50, but without brand from mobile operator, and old A8-2018 and both those phones don't do this - don't power car electricity and are visible by PC on USB-C <--> USB-C connection.
What I did so far - was:
factory reset
download last firmware from SamMobile for Orange and apply it
clean up USB-C port in device
Unfortunately non of above don't fix issues.
What is working on her phone:
Device is loading by ac adapter
Device is also discovered by PC when connect by USB --> USB-C cable
I'm downloading from SamMobile image without brand - and will check it afternoon, but maybe someone from you was have those issues like this?
I'm can't attaching picture with cleaned USB-C ports on both devices and videos what this behavior look like because - I'm to new on forum
Did you checked which device control the other? I mean, there is an option, and maybe your phone is trying to control your car's computer.
My opinion about the PC issues is, maybe try the original cable, or type c <->type a, or other computer.
Sorry for poor english, and if I am wrong.
Use Your Samsung warranty and go to Samsung center in Poland for free diagnose. You can get hour appointment by call to choosen samsung Center. I think that You usb charger module in phone can be damaged. Typical Samsung diecease.
Thanks for responses. I was today on Samsung store and they take it for diagnose. I'm little aftraid only that this isssue is not so obvious and could be hard to find.
