Does the Video Out Cable work connected to Charging Headset Adapter? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories

Hello,
I want to purchase accessories for my soon coming Touch Pro 2.
Wanted: A solution to use video out, charge the phone AND use 3.5mm handset at the same time.
The HTC OEM Charging Headset Adapter (SC5310) has 3.5mm, 2.5mm and Mini-USB Out.
Will the Video Out cable work from the mini-usb port on the charging adapter? Or can the charging adapter with headset and charger connected work through the mini-usb of the video cable that is directly connected to the phone?
Are there any other suggestions?
Thank you in advance!

You can try No2chem's nueTVOut app. Haven't gotten to work for me, but it may for you...

I just tried this for you and it works fine - Video out cable plugged directly into phone, headset and charger plugged into video out cable. Everything works
Got my video out cable from meritline, in case it matters.

[Q] How do i use MHL?

Hi guys, i bought the MHL adapter from T-Mobile's website for the Sensation 4G (i have an Evo 3D). I set everything up, plugging the MHL adapter into my phone, standard HDMI into the adapter and TV, and the usb cable into the adapter...
After plugging everything in nothing happens. I even tried playing a video and nothing occurred. How do i activate the video out? Do i just have a bad MHL adapter?
A few questions. Does the battery icon on the phone show it is charging? This means that power is going to the adapter and to the phone. If not, try changing power adapters. If the charging icon is there, then try changing HDMI cables. If this doesn't work, you might have a bad MHL to HDMI adapter.
with your tv off, plug your mhl adapter into your phone, plug your power cable into the adapter, turn your tv on and bam! (note that the hdmi doesnt display the lockscreen)

My lockscreen shows and boot animation , Also to OP ...the hdmi mirroring is not as stable as HDMWIN is for the OG Evo imo, i had to play with it a bit to first get a picture on my Sammy (unplug/replug/reboot etc.)...then i got pic without sound (OG worked w/audio), ended up running hdmi through my Yamaha amp and that worked. Still not as stable as my 4g evo....LAME
btw I've read usb can't be plugged into pc for powering, must be plugged into wall adapter

my macbook pro powers it fine. weird.
I was using it with my stand that had a video on/off button to turn the display on an off. Everything was mirrored fine but I had no audio and hulu was intentionally shutting off the hdmi before any video played. Are they blocking media streaming apps from displaying through the mhl adapter? Oh an i powered mine by pluging it into my ps3.

Funny that you ask this. I just got an MHL adapter off of Amazon that was just the adapter itself (micro USB one end, female HDMI on the other).
I connected the HDMI cable to my TV and MHL adapter, then I connected my MHL adapter to my phone. Last but not least, I connected my power adapter directly to the MHL adapter and my phone started charging.
The input should be immediate from your phone but if it doesn't, check the following:
1. Make sure your TV is on and the input is selected for the proper HDMI port. If nothing is detected, the TV should report that it's receiving no signal.
2. Make sure the power cable is plugged into your MHL adapter. From my experience, it will not push out the HDMI signal without external power.
3. From my experience, you have to connect your phone to the MHL adapter LAST. NOt sure why but if everything else checks out fine and your phone still isn't pushing out a signal, reconnect the phone to the MHL adapter. You should get an HDMI icon on your top bar.
I have the EVO3D stock.
Everything works fine for me (pictures, music, video) except Netflix. For some reason Netflix looks extremely pixellated. Not quite sure why when everything else looks fine.

help troubleshooting mhl adapter please?

Just tried watching a movie on my phone on the girlfriend's tv and got nothing... it's really annoying me now too.
-Plugged hdmi into each of the 4 ports on the tv in case was a bad port
-Tried 2 different phone chargers into a power strip AND tried extension cord from wall (nothing was open directly in the wall)
**Got nothing from those steps**
-Plugged adapter in to pc monitor with hdmi input and charger directly to wall, got picture
-Plugged hdmi into dvd player to test the tv, got picture
My first thought is the charger isn't getting a good connection to the powerstrip because the plug in front of it kinda prevents it from going in all the way - HOWEVER the phone does receive power and charged through it.
But that's why I tried an extension cord right off the wall, so not sure what it could be.
Does the TV have to be newer and support an mhl adapter? I thought you had MHL which required the TV to support AND then there was the adapter that worked with all hdmi (thus it being an adapter).

[Q] Does the Custom usb audio cable work without the dock?

Hi,
Does anyone know if the y splitter usb audio cable works without the car dock?

I will try it later today.
But what i do know is that normal usb cables don't work on the dock itself, so the inside of the cable is different.
You will hear from me tomorrow!
crunchie-uk: It works!
USB audio via this cable does NOT work for me without the dock. When the cable is plugged directly into the phone, it just plays through the speaker still. I am guessing the special circuitry in the dock that triggers the phone to go into vehicle mode also triggers it to output usb audio.

USB-C with 3.5mm (both directions, audio + mic) and USB-C charging adapter?

Is there a USB-C adapter that will do both audio+mic and charge at the same time for our device? I found a device made by Moshi that works but from the reviews the mic does not work, looking for an adapter I can use in the office with a stereo headset with microphone so I can answer phone calls without having to remove my headset and that can charge and/or sync with PC as well.

Thanks!
I didn't find any cable that do the job. For the moment the only solution that I have is to connect the turbopower mod so I can have two USB-c port.

Headphones and charger splitter

I've read that some of the usb type C to 3.5 jack adapter are working now with a proper DAC, but I can't find a splitter that works for our HTC's or even for Pixel 2. People mention dongles made by certain companies, but I head to their websites and there's nothing available...
Can anyone help me find a viable splitter to charge and use headphones at the same time? I'm getting desperate, to be honest...
Thanks!
I have also tried several usb type c hubs but could not find one that works with htc headphones unfortunately.
I ended up buying an Bluetooth receiver to plug my headphones into when I need to charge too.
Not ideal but it works for me

Hey, that doesn't sound bad to me. I've never tried anything like that, though. Could you send me a link to your receiver or tell me any reference to start searching? Thanks in advance!

Look for a Bluetooth Receiver that supports wired headphones, i.e. it has a 3.5mm audio out socket.

Checking that out as we speak. Thanks mate!
Hi guys,
still trying to figure this out. I hope you can help me with this idea. All I want is charge and use headphones at the same time :
If I plug this hub (or similar one) to my U Ultra's usb port https://m.es.aliexpress.com/item/32846535696.html?trace=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail&productId=32846535696&productSubject=USB-C-Hub-USB-C-HDMI-Ethernet-Adapter-for-Macbook-Pro-Thunderbolt-3-Type-C-Hub
And then use this adapter (with DAC integrated) into the usb c of the hub: https://m.es.aliexpress.com/item/32832480232.html.
Will it work? Or the DAC needs to be placed exactly in the usb out of the phone? I'd really appreciate the help.
For these hubs to provide charging you need to connect the charger in the type c port of the hub which is marked with the lightning sign. To connect the 3.5 mm adapter you will need another adapter from usb type a male to type c female. Such adapters exsist but when i tried to connect the htc type c headphones via the hub and such adapter they were simply not detected by the phone so i doubt that the 3.5mm adapter will also work in such configuration.

Thanks for the info, mate!
If I decided to go for Bluetooth earphones... Any will do, am I right? No DAC thing to be worried about, I guess...

That's it, exactly. Take any BT headset you like and can afford, they have the DAC already built in.
