USB Dongle - LG Watch Sport

I've never posted here so go easy. I'm not sure how many people still use the LG Watch Sport. But I have something some may be interested in. I bought my watch on ebay a bit ago and the seller said it was an AT&T demo unit but I didn't really care. So I received it and it came in a clean white box (not a retail box) with everything all packaged nicely like it came from the factory. Well one thing I noticed but never really thought about was that mine came with a USB dongle. I know enough to be dangerous with fastboot and adb but don't have a lot of time to troubleshoot. So I can get it to show up in adb and reboot to the bootloader but I cannot figure out the driver I need for fastboot. In my device manager it just shows up as "Android" with a yellow exclamation because there is no driver. I'm going to attach pictures to prove I'm not crazy (once I figure out how to) and also a close up of the part number in case anyone wants to look for it online.

Bootloader unlocked. Any devs want me to try anything?

Where does the USB dongle connect too?

When you open the back of the watch, there is a small connector near the heart rate sensor and SIM card slot.

That's pretty amazing, a USB dongle has been talked about, but never seen in the wild I believe!
Its been done by WiFi in the past, which is slow.

Unfortunately I seem to be the only one that actually has the cable. I posted some pics in the WearOS subreddit.

Here you go, the image isn't loading for me though... : https://www.reddit.com/r/WearOS/comments/cf0izv/anyone_with_an_lg_watch_sport_wonder_what_the_usb/
EDIT: From what I remember the circuit looked quite basic, if we had some hi-res photos and if discthrower could do some probing with a multimeter we may be able to replicate it... I think it may just be a simple usb passthrough, I couldn't make out any kind of converter chip on the board but I couldn't make out any chip numbers I'm no expert either.

Finally someone with added value and common sense! Thank you. We're really missing detailed photos, making it won't be that difficult. Till you posted it here, discussions in regard to flashing LG Watch Sport on XDA were highly theoretical or pointless. I tried searching ebay to no avail. I would buy it instantly.

Any chance you could help us try and replicate the cable discthrower ? If we could get some hi-res photos maybe ?

I believe the stuff inside TP is different from operator to operator. I own non operator version of TP and no such thing as audio converter found inside. No worries, you can buy this converter easily on the net like this one from Seidio.

You're obviously not required to do 'anything.'
But if you wanted your problem quickly solved you could come into irc at an appropriate time ( not right now ) and talk to someone directly. ( It's really hard to find problems, document them and solve them just by looking at a logcat you took. )

So what if your problem MAY be hardware related...who do you send your logcat to?
I'm having issues with my headphone jack. It seems to work when it wants to and it very annoying. Could this be ROM related or just a faulty hardware issue?

obviously without hearing it i cant say, but i'd be willing to bet if its intermittent, you have a faulty jack. ez way to tell is to install another rom, and try anotherset of headphones

Cant be the headphones...i just bought a new pair the other day. Cant be a short in the adapter. Ive got 3 of them and they all work on the 2nd G1. The icon doesnt even show up in the notification bar nor does the button work but i hear static distortion at the moment when i plug in. Ive also got HTC_IME set to audio clicks and each time i type i can hear the same distortion. Cant Logcat via ADB with usb hooked in. Thinking about sending back to T-Mo for replacement but dont wanna go thru the hassle of re-rooting and such
Edit: tried logcat in terminal then plugged in adapter. Nothing. Dont even know if something is supposed to show.

How to "Brand" a USB cord?

My company is sponsoring an event in October and I was trying to come up with some low-cost, tech giveaway (all attendees will be getting a branded bag and this would go inside). I know a lot of people forget/loose/break their USB charging cords or could just use an extra one. So I've found some i-cables and micro USB but I'm trying to figure out a way to brand them to make people think of me whenever they use them. Thoughts/Suggestions are appreciated.
I would think the best way would be the stickers that you wrap around the cable and just stick it to itself, like the way they attach safety info or the way current manufactures put their brands on them. You know what I mean? It looks like a flag on it.. I would think that would be the best way. Any other way would seem too small to me. It would also be cheaper than other ways. I would opt for plastic and not just paper.

Or maybe you gen get your name embossed on it.. The flags may get torn but the etching will never go off..
I have gotten these before at several events and they can take a sticker. I am sure their are place that will even do it for you. Retractable USB cords.
On a side note, I use them a lot. They have stickers on them from where I got them. And I haven't looked at the stickers once. Couldn't tell you who gave them to me. LOL
Maybe put some kind of branding on the side that faces upwards on the usb cable? I can't be the only one who always tries to put them in upside down, and people would be sure to read the branding every time they use it.

Also if you managed to track down a "gimmick-y" usb cable for cheap enough to use promotion-ally it's definitely worth a little extra cost.
Maybe one of the extra short ones or one that clicks together as a wristband or something that fits on their keys. A private school I checked out gave out keychain flash drives with their name on it, I never went but I'll never forget where I got it since it's always on my keys.

We decided we will be exchanging the cord for the person's email address and answer to 3-4 questions that will allow us to send them a quote. So, once they have the cord, if they ever look at the name it's an added bonus.

Because we are already paying for the branded bags that every attendee will get, this has to be super low cost. I was able to get 100 micro and 100 i-cords for about $120 from China, maybe some of them will work
Thank you everyone for the input.

Wireless charging available?

So i just got my moto x4 yesterday and it's an indian variant (no android one or project fi). And I know that out of the box it doesn't support wireless charging. But then i stumbled upon this setting in the sound section:

Is it just an android thing or is it an indication that it might support wireless charging in future?
Also has anyone been working on a custom solution for it?
Thank you for your response in advance!

Well, Motorola does have some "undocumented hardware features". There IS a small white LED that responds to "notification LED" commands hidden between selfie flash and the front speaker grill. Until someone like iFixit tears an X4 down, I won't say that it CAN'T wireless charge (just that it DOESN'T).

They wouldn't disable it, but they might not include the additional hardware needed for cost reasons. If there's a plug point and room in the case for a coil, 3rd party chargers are POSSIBLE (but not PROBABLE)

Thank you. I've already watched that video in the past, but it doesn't say what these are.
They also look like plastic instead of metal, so I'm still unsure if I'm missing something or not...
My speculations are that those are the connection for wifi antennas. Last year, I was changing the LCD, ive made some research that on some cheap LCDs they dont have that connector, and that people are complaining their Wifi becoming non-existent after using that screen. I brought the OEM one that costs abit more, about 27 USD in aliexpress and i notice no wifi issues what so ever (apart from the distance being ****, true to its original condition lmao). Another guess is that its for the touchscreen grounding i guess??

That would make some sense... my wifi performance on 2.4GHz is just miserable, it struggles to find the SSID even if I'm standing next to the router.
Interestingly enough, the same router puts out a 5GHz SSID and that one is mostly fine.
Now, if these connectors have something to do with wifi I still can't seem to find the parts online. Only the coaxial cable shows up, and I thought that was the only antenna connector for wifi...

I think you need to refer back on the original part of the screen. From my knowledge, these are a part of the frame of the screen assembly, so you can always transfer the OEM/Original old parts to your new screen. Or maybe next time make sure to buy the oem version that has complete features like what i did. I hope it helps!
