I know there are a couple threads out there concerning this cable/adapter. Most were of suggestions but no feedback. Anyone find a good one out there that works with flash drive? I know some people mentioned that the cables they found blocked the head phone jack, did anyone find one that didn't? Any information would be appreciated thanks!

i grabbed this. works perfectly. has sd, micro sd AND usb ports. I find it to be awesome to have the choice.
Go on ebay and use the following search phrase:
otg micro cable left angled
Look at the pictures carefully though in order to make sure that a) it ends in the desired USB female connector, and b) the left angle is truly left. There are some listings that are still right-angled even though the description says "left angled".
Oh, and you'll likely have to wait for shipping from China.
Also on Amazon if you search for:
SANOXY Micro USB Host Mode OTG Cable Flash Drive SD T-Flash Card Adapter
The first one in the results looks like it's angled correctly. Also from China.

That sounds awesome but unfortunately its sold out right now !
I'll try the ebay option too but we all know how trustworthy dealers are on email with electronic components. I am not in too big of a hurry for the item since Google hasn't even shipped out my Nexus 10 yet.

This is amazing. I didn't know this existed? I had seen a model from Japan that didn't have the wire at all, and kinda just sat flush with your device. (Not too flush, still jutted out quite a bit.) But either/or is good for trips when you need some extra space.
Thank you! Ordering one as soon as these mofo's go back in stock....

I know its awesome. They have plenty of those for the samsung galaxy tabs (some withe even 5 different ports) made by Samsung. However the 7 pin adapter doesn't work the nexus. I'm hoping samsung does the same (with an audio jack) for the Nexus. Kind of infuriating that there is no support from Google or Samsung insight for accessories. Especially since these attachments are what separates them from their competitors (IPad can't use a flash drive because of the power limitation)
I wonder if this might work sense the 1 above appears to be sold out:

Hello wonderful wonderful people of XDA-Developers world. First of.. I'm eternally thankful to all the contributors to this wonderful community.
Now for my request.. I'm in real estate and have a need for an Infrared Port on my device which allows me to take prospective buyer's into listed homes. We have this thing called GE Supra that enables that. With the Tilt's many joys, this is one sore feature thats lacking in the Tilt.
So, I went searching on google, wiki, this forum, ppcgeeks, pdaphonehome (why?), and many more only to find that there are apparently tons of USB IR dongles available in the market with a standard USB on one end and the IR blaster/receiver on the other. But, they are meant for a laptop/pc/mac etc.
**Is there ANYTHING I can give a shot at that you think exists maybe in the form of a Bluetooth device that brings IR addon to pdas??! Or a mini-usb for plugging into the Tilt or something.. ANYTHING..!
What about those IR blasters/extenders that one can get at Radioshack or something.. can they be "rigged" in someway to add an IrDA Port to my Tilt???
Please help.

USB on Kaiser
The USB required for those IR devices are for an USB host. The USB on the Kaiser is not a host USB otherwise we would also be able to add things like thumbdrives, etc. IR has quickly gone the way of the Dodo bird in favor of other wireless technologies like Bluetooth. There are some cheap Windows Mobile Classic devices out there with IrDA still - perhaps when you need to, you can just carry a second device.
Thanks Jonnob
Thanks JonnoB,
I was hoping that I'll get a different answer but I guess there are no other options that getting another device to run that function. Oh well.. back to the ugly Supra DisplayKey that needs to be manually updated each day with using the ancient regular phone line...
Maybe there are bluetooth versions of the GE Suprakey...
I have been asked the same question about the Supra EKey software and the Tilt. Basically I tell the real estate agents to keep their "little blackbox key" if they want the Tilt.
Another angle may be to look for SDIO devices.
For example, there was one released for the Treo a while back: http://www.palminfocenter.com/news/7096/new-sd-card-universal-remote-control-device/
Thats just what I was looking for but in MicroSDIO.. if such thing exists.
Thanks Evil..
Thats what I was searching online for. Maybe I'll try and find out if there is an SD to MicroSD adapter available so that I can plug the infrared SDIO blaster into a microSD adapter (if such a thing exists) and I should be good to go.
Is the MicroSD slot even enabled for I/O functionality?? Dunno..
Man.. more questions than answers.. Maybe I'll have to give in and stick with the black ugly DisplayKey for GE that I have to manually update via frickin' landline.
nuf *****in... I'm gonna move on.
Thanks all for trying to help.

That's a good point. AFAIK the Kaiser is SDIO, but I have never heard of a male microSD to female SD adapter. At least the Kaiser microSD slot has an external opening so it is physically possible.

Seems painful, but there are BlueTooth->Serial adapters (which host a generic serial port profile on BT and have a physical RS-232 interface on the other side) - and I recall seeing Serial->IrDA adapters at one point. Plug two expensive low-volume gadgets together and hope they work? All the while, pointing the IR port at your Real Estate gizmo....

Yeah, I was talking about that one; actually, I keep one of those that I bought some years ago (for an old Toshiba e700 series that I owned).
Something like this, could work as well, supposing that someone write the code to make it work (which, I think, is totally feasible). How much would it cost, that's another story.
USB to IrDA adapter
In this case, you would need as well either a mini usb to usb cable or an adapter.

...and a whole new USB controller in the phone, since the one in there is a USB target not a USB master. Oh and a power source as well, since the USB target controller in the phone expects power provided TO it - just like the USB IrDA dongle's target controller expects power provided TO it.
All of which is not to trivialize the software component.
If the OP's software works on PocketPC but expects a serial port connection to the scanner (IrDA looks like a serial port to software) then his best bet is to find hardware which looks like a serial port to PocketPC software.
Just my $0.02 of course.

That's why I said that it would cost money (actually, a lot of money); developing software, drivers or whatever involved in this project wouldn't be cheap.
By the way, regarding power, oh well, this would be the easiest part, supposing that you really need an infrared port. Obviously, you would need an external source (not the most elegant solution), but this is the same case if using any of the other suggested solutions, being something like the TotalRemote IrDA module the exception, which I think could be a good approach.

I don't think you understand. Certainly it's not impossible, but you're asking effectively why grabbing two extension cords and plugging them together doesn't light up a lamp.
The two devices you want to connect BOTH have (for the sake of simplicity) "USB inputs", while a normal PC has "USB outputs". You're proposing hooking two "inputs" together - and there's not really a money solution to that.... in the same sense that you can't just buy a different brand extension cord to make the lamp light up.
Anyway, suffice it to say that for all effective purposes, hooking a USB IrDA dongle up to a USB phone is not going to be practical.

TV Out AV Cable For HTC Touch HD2
100% Brand New
Description:-
An accessories that you need to view your phone files on a TV
Some phone models also support transfer of pictures, video clips and powerpoint presentations to the TV.
Compatibility list : HTC TOUCH HD2
The design of actual item may look slightly different from the picture, depending on each batch of stock
----------------------------
EDIT: For people stumbling across this thread, the joke is this will not now, not ever work with the HD2! Don't waste your time or money hoping otherwise
Where is the hardware on the HD2 ?
It looks like any TV-out cable, I have the same type on my Omnia Pro.
The question is : Can the HD2 use the video out ? I don't recall seeing it in hardware specification.
Edit: Anyway I've just bought one, it was cheap enough for a TV-out and if it doesn't get used with HD2, I can still use it with Omnia Pro
I don't get the joke.
I seriously doubt it will work. If, by some miracle it does work, let us know.
To be honest I doubt it will do anything, but I needed a TV-out cable anyway
You might want to give this thread a read before you try the cable. There's some registry changes & cabs that you might want to play around with to see if you can actually get tv out on the hd2. Probably wont work, but might as well try if you're getting the cable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577338
impossible!!! where is the cable plugged in?
This is a standard 3.5mm jack with stereo + video. You can plug it like you would plug the headset in
My old N900 could do this, right out of box, with a tv out (3.5 mm jack) Whyy cant the HD2?
Your OLD ??? N900 , if its that old ill be happy to take it off your hands lol
GamerMYJ said:

Because the N900 has a specific software (and hardware) unlike the HD2.
my nokia n96 had a cable that plugged into the audio slot and then the 3 coloured cable that go into tv, if i can find it ill test it and let u know
Why would you trust some eejit on eBay selling a cable saying it's compatible with your phone, over the countless threads on xda explaining why TV Out is not possible on the HD2.
Here's a hint, the part of the Snapdragon chipset that deals with TV out is not connected to anything. Unless you plan on soldering the connector into your 3.5mm jack yourself, it's never going to work.

Did you get, try the cable yet? I've read about this with the EVO but nothing specific with the HD2.
Ive got a cable that plugs into the HD2 via the usb...
it allows you to turn your HD2 into a hot-plate for cooking eggs and such.
you want one? i sell it to you for £4.99 +P&P
I always did want a gadget that could do everything, like schoolwork and make breakfast. This would definitely get me closer

I JUST read that the nexus 7 does not have usb on the go aka USB HOST.
Which makes that memory card and host cable useless unless you find a rom that will enable it. CM9 coming for nexus 7? Hopefully!

Hi, Ive read the other otg adapter pages but i dont believe any of them have the answer tmy question. Im not interested in hooking up keyboards,etc to the 7 I just want to hook up a thumb drive to it so I can watch movies on long trips. All the cables people have mentioned have a couple of inches of cable attached to them between the connectors, This plus having a thumb drive sticking out of it kind of makes it annoying to use. What i am hoping was if someone could point me in the direction of something like this http://www.amazon.com/SANOXY-Micro-...1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1347344592&sr=1 for the nexus. Id really like to not have the extra cord. thanx guys

I agree 100%, and I have both and actually prefer the version with the wire for the reason you give, HOWEVER ... the OP asked for a connector without a wire, and gave a specific example of the type they were looking for. The one in my link matches that perfectly.
When I use mine with a thumb drive, I just transfer the files to the tablet. Takes 5 minutes and uses a lot less battery than having it connected to usb and reading the card the whole time. Just leave a few GB available for movies; delete one if you need more space to transfer another.
Didn't test this one but its cheap:

You could. I found several reviews on the super small micro sd readers that say they crap out in a year or less, so I just went with a thumbdrive. Doesn't hurt to try if the price is right.

The adaptor has to have a dac built in or it will not work with the tablet same with the note 10
The Note 10 dongle has a DAC built in. It should work for the tab s6. I have one ordered right now.
I have USB C audio adapter from Huawei Mate 20 Pro, but when i connect it to the tablet, a message appears that the usb device is not supported.
I have S5e, but it should apply S6
I have few different USB C headset adapter for Pixel and HTC U11 Life, both work as it's supposed to
As much as I hate to say it, the cheap Apple one is one of the best you can get unless you're willing to spend quite a bit more. Did a bunch of reading after I ordered my Note 10+, tests put the Apple one ahead of the Google ones and plenty of others that cost 5 times as much as the Apple one. Works well, but as with all things Apple the cable is going to fray within a year. I added a silicone stress relief that covered the entire cable since I had a bag of them, maybe it'll last two years.
have 2 of those
none are working with korean LTE S6
any idea why?

USB C connector has analog headphone connection
They are switched in with some sense ID magic, but there is left, right, and microphone analog wires. You can find the details in a search.
Any cheap (non-DAC) headphone adapter should work as it is just the right wiring and maybe a few resistors on the right pins. I have one that works.
