All,
Just flashed to Solace v3.1 (which I LOVE, btw). Getting an odd issue, hoping maybe someone else can point me in the right direction.
I have an adapter that plugs into the USB port (originally from my Titan) that allows me to plug in both USB power and a headset. From there, I have an adapter that converts to 3.5mm, and a wire which I then plug into the aux-in of my car stereo.
Previously, this set-up worked flawlessly. After flashing to Solace, however, I only get mono sound (right channel only).
I asked in the Solace thread also, but no one else seems to have this issue (or haven't noticed. Sorry for cross posting!). Hoping that someone might have seen this problem in general before, or have a place I might try looking for a possible solution. I searched the entire registry for things like "balance", "stereo", "mono"...even looked at every single entry for "usb" without finding much in the way of a fix. Missing entry perhaps?
Really appreciate anything anyone can do to help at this point!
Damaged mini usb port?
I had the same problem with my Tilt. Although it only had the stock 6.1 rom (fluff free), I'm guessing the pins on your port are misaligned or broken. You soon may discover that it won't sync with your computer and shortly thereafter will not charge anymore.

Hi Guys,
I'm a newbie with XDA IIi, just use it less than 1 month. I have a problem when I syncronize the device to the computer; there is no sound when I answer the call. The mobile is rings, but when I answer I did'nt find any sound from the caller. The device connected by USB Cable/Charger not by Cradle.
Note, that I have updated the ROM with PUG's ROM (Alpine_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped_Camera_Fixed - thanks to PUG), but the problem is still done.
Thanks for help

Sounds like a hardware problem...
If you just got the unit brand new and just replaced with a different ROM, I'm not sure if the warranty is voided.
But if it isn't, you can have it replaced or repaired from where you bought it from.
Thanks for reply. It's not a brand new, but the used one, I bought it without cradle and original charger, so must use the USB cable data for syncronizing and charging. Do you think it will be solved if I use the original cradle?
Basing on your first post, I don't think it will be solved just by using an original cradle.
Does your phone still work if it's not connected (USB/charger connected)?
If it does still work it might be software based. You could try returning the original ROM.
If it still does not work, it maybe hardware failure.
I've encountered the same problem many times. I use the USB cable and the docking port. I thought it was a usual issue, so I just unplug the cable before answering any calls.
I've same problem here, but not with my original dock, but only happen if i connect my PDA to PC using USB cable (I bought it seperatly). But if i connect using original craddle it have no problems at all.
Hi, Im having the same issue. Using the original ROM I didnt have this problem. But after upgrading using Deathnoise's ROM the sound no longer works when the USB cable is in. This a major pain, can anyone think what changes made in the updated ROM could have caused this?
Hi
Using an original O2 XDAIIi and an aftermarket USB Sync/charge cable i have no sound when connected, trifle annoying as i am using it to sync a third party mail application and don't get any audible notification. Don't have the cradle to hand to test with so can't pass any comment if that works or not.
The only upgrade was the official ROM upgrade from O2.
It's likely to be the connections on the plug end itself. See this thread I found on the subject, http://forum.xda-developers.com/arch.../t-245857.html, and this one for the connections. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ame=Connectors.
I had the same problem, I cut both loop wires that go from pin 2, to pins 5 & 18 (on mine, the only two that looped back) and everything worked fine after that.
No sounds when answer phone from cradle
I have the same problem and I work around by sliding the volume button up and down after I remove the phone from the cradle and before answering the call. It is an annoying bug but I get use to it after a while. Now it is my habit to slide the volume button up and down every time I remove the phone from the cradle.
When i connect my device to usb, nothing happens.
I looked up the forum for solutions, but was unable to find them.
It shows nothing in network connections, nothing in device manager, en activesyc shows nothing at all.
I tried the following:
- Other USB cable/port
- Reinstall activesync or use older version.
- Uncheked advanced networking in my device.
- Turned off firewall
I cant think of any other solutions at this time, maybe someone can help me.
(sorry for my bad English, i'm Dutch)
Ciao,
did you try to remove your older connection from your telephone? I mean programs -> system tools -> activesync -> menu -> options -> delete existing connections.
This works for me whenever i have some connection problems.
No luck =(
Still the same
No one has any idea?
Reboot the PC. Make sure you check Device Manager for any issues. Maybe disconnect all USB peripherals and then try the phone first. Did you try a different machine (PC)?

yes, i tried 3 machines.
But the problem is, the devices is reconized by none of them
What is the operating system of your pc´s
Windows XP sp3???
If so there are some issues that relates to sp3 but i dont know any resolution for it thou.
Nope, fully updated SP2
The HTC proprietary extUSB connector on the bottom of the TyTN II has been known to fail in a few cases (if you search in this forum there are many posts about it). When you plug in the charger or wired headphones do these work fully? Does your battery charge when connected to a PCs USB port? Not that these are 100% foolproof tests because different pins are used for the USB signal connection. What changes did you make or incidents occurred before this problem occurred e.g. started using a different charging cradle etc? Have you inspected the connector for damage and tried the original HTC cable?

The battery still charges via USB (via my pc), i used a charger in my car.
This is a USBport in the car, difficult to explain.

I can't tell you of my headphone works, because i lost it.
I can't dectect any damage to my USB port.
Update:
I've been looking at my USB port on mt PDA, and did a little bending, now when i connect my device, the screen flips to horizontal view.
So i guess the problem has to do with the USB connector after all.
Upd: OMG :O it keeps flipping from horizontal to vertical, even when it's not plugged in.

Be careful about using just any old car charger system. If you search this forum you'll see that there was one model which could damage the TyTN II due to overloading the UBS port on it (something to do with reverse flow under periods of heavy electrical load). I believe that model was subsequently modified to prevent this problem but it doesn't mean other car chargers with the same affliction wont arrive on the scene. Maybe it's time to hard reset the device and if it still plays up, return it to the supplier for a warranty claim.

Hello!!
I installed tvout.cab from other HTC device to XPERIA.
In folder windows, after installation, some files were creates: HTCTVOutPopUp.exe,HTCTVOutPopUp.png, etc, etc.....
I plug my tv out cable from n95(Jack to RGB(yellow/white/red)), but only the sound from my xperia listen in my tv, no image at all.
Then, I tried to click and execute HTCTVOutPopUp.exe from windows folder with cable jack plug to my TV, but nothing happens.
Also I tried to modify some registry values like:
HKLM\ControlPanel\TVOutSetting, HKLM\ControlPanel\TVOutSetting
HKLM\Software\HTC\TVOutPopUp/PAL...etc, etc...nothings seems to works.
Sound listen ok, but no image.
I think, that if there are any change that tv-out xperia works, the right cable to plug to TV is mini-usb to RGB like touch pro and no jack to RGB.
I hope you understand my post...I am from Spain and I am writing too fast.
It will not work...
Xperia doesnt have any tv-out features
Thanks for trying it out. Like you said, if there is something there, the system will be identical to touch pro.
Would be funny if the connectors are there
From what I hear Touch Pro has a proprietary USB connector that has more pins and uses them for audio and TV-out. On the other hand XPERIA has a standard miniB USB plug that doesn't host more pins for these functions.
If it doesn't work from the 3.5mm jack I doubt that it will work at all (except if it is a software problem). I am quite disappointed with SE because the hardware is there but they didn't bother to implement the feature.
There are another couple of threads about this already, stating most of what's been said here. There is a "TVOutEnable" or similar reg setting that someone found, though I can't seem to find it on my X1i (more than likely due to the custom ROM, it was on the standard Vodafone UK ROM). Thing is this reg setting is about 6-7 digits long, not just a 0 or 1.
I'd like to see if this setting is also on the Touch Pro, and see if copying this setting to the xperia would make a difference.
Another point is that other phones using the same 4-pin audio output route the TVOut function to the headphone/mic connectors, as does the Touch pro; IF the TVOut function is at all doable, then it will more than likely use the headphone socket. Domin8or said in another thread that the USB connector actually has plated connectors on the other side, like the proprietary HTC USB socket, but I can't tell from looking at mine whether that's true or not, though I intend to test it out by hacking the headset I got with the Touch Pro to fit into the xperia USB socket to see if there are any connectors there.
I somehow reckon this will be done at some point, provided we can get the correct reg settings and software to work; the TVOut function as I understand is part of the chipset, which is just ignored by SE in the xperia, probably because of licensing fees/other costs involved with getting the functionality "approved" by qualcomm. If the TVOut functions on other phones use the same connectors as the headset/mic, then I don't see why the connectors wouldn't be present and connected on the xperia, just not enabled by software... That'll be a job for us* at XDA then
When I say "us" I mean the community in general, there are way, way more talented people here than me who might be able to help with this, I just hope I can help in any way I can testing etc...
Hello!!
That are the values that I "played" in order to try video out works via jack cable.
HKLM\ControlPanel\TVOutSetting/
Group 0/1
HKLM\Software\HTC\TVOut\
FunctionEnable 0/1
HKLM\Software\HTC\TVOutPopUp\
PAL 4
TVMode 4

sorry I`m not english speaking. but are you saying video out works or You just tryed?
i tried my wired htc remote in the x1 and couldnt get it too work, got it hacked down to shape but it wasnt recognised by the device
its also not the same internals as the touch pro or hd as theres no g sensor
well, unless there are hardware limitations, ex : missing pin or those htc devices are using special jacks; i don't see why it won't work in x1 since it's more than 90% similar to Pro and HD, but perhaps it will need more than just a simple registry hacks.
I guess this all depend on the kindness and dedications from many smarter guys in entire x1 communities.
Hi
Its ane hope to make TV OUT in xperia working?
Sort for my anglish
Did anyone tried putting the Rom of a touch pro to x1 then try the tv out with it?
what
a
pointless
thread...
there is no hardware inside xperia to have tv-out. it is the same case like with people looking for fm radio in tytn 2. if I am wrong, I will eat my shorts.

Actually the hardware IS there, we just don't know if it is connected to the USB or audio jack.
It is true though that this seems a long shot.
one of the reasons why I bought the Xperia is because of the TV out....Yikes!
I should have given it a little more research before buying, but if it is really possible, I hope somebody finds out how to do it.

probably not connected to anything brah
So at last is it possible or no ?
It won't work and probably never will.
It won't work because of the contacts e.g. 3.5mm it lacks the contacts for video only for left and right speaker and for mini usb, it lacks pins.. it only works with data and charging..
I'm running deeperblue's honeycomb on eMMC and was wondering if I could use a micro usb head set to try to make calls over a program like skype or fring. Has anybody had any sucess doing something like this? or if the hardware would allow it?
Bumping this thread, because I haven't seen an answer to this. I'd like to use Skype on the NC. I've read a number of posts regarding BT with headphones, and my impression is that it will work, but not well enough to use with Skype. If I'm wrong there, someone please correct me.
I can't find a clear post regarding micro USB though. Is there anyone out there using Skype with a micro usb headphone? Does it work well? If so, what's your setup (ROM, headphone h/w). Thanks.
As far i know; thats not possible at the moment.
Hooking a USB headset up to the Nook would require an USB host driver for the USB port on the bottom. Since it currently only a slave port (transfer data and power) you can't hook up a host device like a USB headset or a USB harddisk.
A while back they started a more technical thread about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028417
BT headsets do work as far as receiving audio goes, but sending audio (mic) is not available yet. Also the range is very poor. It'll probably be debugged in the near future by one of the awesome dev's on here.
Not the reply I was hoping for, but thanks for the clear response. Ciao.
I keep getting a "Headset Not Supported" pop-up error when I connect the same pair of headphones that have worked perfectly until now.
I read another post that recommended reinstalling Smart Connect. It wasn't even on my phone, so I installed that and now my headphones work 1 in every 50 to 100 times I plug them in. On the successful attempts, Smart Connect recognizes the headphones being plugged in.
These headphones have the standard two connector lines on the plug, which I believe denote a stereo connection. I did find a work around by using an 1/8" to 1/8" adapter; the male plug has 3 connection lines. I'm not sure if the phone randomly decided that it wants that third line or what, but I'd really like to figure out what is going on.
Has anyone run into this and found an actual fix? I don't like having to rely on that adapter piece, as it's just another thing I have to carry around with me. It's also small n easy to lose, especially when drunk... and yes, I already lost it!
Thanks.
