As long as the conections are the same(mini USB) it should work! I have used my T-Mobile DASH cord with my at&t Tilt before, worked fine! As long as the light says its charging, its fine! Hope that helps you out!

I also had my TyTN II mains adapter fail (after only a couple of months and about 4 uses). It just made a loud click and would no longer power on so if this is what happened to you, see if you can get a (different) warranty replacement through your supplier. Although the TyTN IIs proprietary extUSB port supports USB 2.0, it's a variety called 'USB 2.0 Full Speed' which (just like USB 1.1 Full Speed) only offers up to 12 Mb/sec and not the 480 Mb/s thats the theoretical maximum for USB 2.0 High Speed. When I plug my TyTN II into the NEC chipset USB 2.0 High Speed capable USB ports on my PC, the 'network' thats created is only a 10 Mb/sec one. Both phones have 5 Volt adapters designed for HTC extUSB ports and the USB 1.1 vs 2.0 differences are not associated with mains charger connections so you should be fine.

Both Expansys and the swedish retailer dustin have the new dockingstation in stock. I have ordered one to be used as a computer replacement in my summer cottage. It has two usb ports and vga/video output.

I received it today
It comes with no extra charger, so you have to use your old one. It has 2 usb ports, 1 vga, 1 s-video and 1 composite port. Oddly enough it has 2 mini-usb ports. One for syncing and one for charging. I thought that it would be enough with the sync port as it charges as well.
It can be abit fiddly to get the Athena in place,but otherwise it works like a charm. Now I need to figure out how to change the keyboard layout (swedish) and follow up on the mouse pointer issue. After that is sorted out I have a simplistic PC for visually impare (the text is hughe on a 17" screen).

£69.95!!!!! What a rip-off. I know expansys are expensive but that is a joke (sorry). I think I will wait until they filter thru on to ebay.
I bought it from Dustin for SEK 1024 so I don't think it is a rip-off. They do not have a history of over charging. I suspect a device of this price class have expensive acessories. I am a bit disappointed that it doesnt come with a charger.

One seller used to have the have them on ebay at about the same time that expansys used to have them (although I think that they didn't have the second USB port). However, it looked to me like they were withdrawn because suddenly neither expansys nor this ebay seller had any in stock at the same time. Shouldn't be long before they appear on ebay. I seem to recall they were asking about £30 for it but I could be wrong.

Yes, it comes with audio out. I haven't tested it though. Someone in another thread, complained about lack of sound when using the dockingstation.

Yes, it does.
can someone find one a bit cheaper? I'd like it for playing around testing external hard discs and accessories with but 70 quid is ridiculous for internet prices. Must be very few of them or something.......wonder who supplies Expansys as you don't seem to see their items on Ebay.
might require 2 chargers for extra battery
The docking station has two mini-usb ports. One for sync and one for charge. When I attach the charger to the charging port, nothing happens. My conclusion is, that the extra charging port is for the extra battery. This would mean that if you want to charge both the Advantage and an extra battery, you would have to attach an extra charger to it. If this is the case, it is even more odd that the docking station didn't come with a charger.
The only explanation I could find, would be that the mini-usb has a limited power capability and wouldn't be enough to charge both unit and battery.
//Johan
Joohan
Try to insert only the battery in its slot and switch between the 2 mini USB ports then see what happens.
USB doesnt have enough amps to charge the Ameo as it is, if you look at the mains adapter its a 1 amp output, usb from pc im sure is only half of that at 500 milli amp. the second mini usb may be to attach a second mini usb to get the full charge, I have an external 2.5 HD and it comes with a usb to two mini usb to boost the current. even then it still strugles, without the external mains adapter, which is 1.4 amps.
I could be wrong, just my oppinion, But I notice this when im in the car using usb charger, it keeps everything runnning, "tomtom" but wont really charge it.

This has been discussed before - it depends on the car charger you are using. The one that came with my Brodit holder happily charges the Ameo while using satnav and screen brightness on full.
Bought it for 100 euros and I like it very much!!
It's standing right here on my desk and I use it everyday. Don't want to go without anymore!!
does the kaiser has the infra red beam connection?
i cant find it anywhere.
Kaiser Beam!
The Kaiser has no IR anymore, sorry.
Expansys seems to recommend this adapter (IrDA InfraRed USB Adaptor) if you'd need it:

$70 for the IR adapter?? like hell i would pay that much, i thot it would be in the $15-20 range. besides, that adapter is for PC, how do we know it would even work with the kaiser with the right adapter?
At least from the picture, it seems that it's just for PC/Laptop since it looks like normal USB, not mini-USB?
and the kaiser is not, to my knowledge, a USB host. So even if you got a USB->MiniUSB adapter, it would not work.
So stupid that didn't include IrDA. We're not done with it yet! Hear that HTC?! Some of us use our phones as Universal remotes and no, providing us with accessories that hang out of the microsd slot ain't a solution!
The cruise seems to be identical to the kaiser, and HTC says that it is USB 2.0
http://www.htc.com/product/03-product_htctouch_cruise.htm
Do you think that the kaiser can be updated with the cruise drivers ?
I'm guessing that the USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 depends on the hardware - UNLESS HTC have decided to build in some useful hardware that we can't use... this has obviously never happened before such as gps chip in Hermes, video chip in Kaiser etc...
Over to the clever people - are our usb ports limited by hardware or software?
Read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350347 - USB 2.0 Full Speed (which is what the TyTN II and Touch Cruise are both rated at is barely faster than USB 1.1. It's USB 2.0 Hi Speed thats much faster.

May be.
But why there is no mention of USB 2.0 on kaiser specs?

There's no need for the answer to come from the Cruise forum. It depends where you look on the HTC site. Here in the manual (warning 6 Mb pdf file) http://www.htc.com/support/pdf/htctytnII/Kaiser_HTC_English_Manual_web.pdf right at the end in the specs, USB 2.0 Full Speed is mentioned. Maybe HTC received complaints about it being on the website specs, who knows why they've removed it from there. As you can see from the link I provided earlier, it's not well known that there are different speeds offered by Full Speed USB 2.0 vs Hi Speed USB 2.0. Many people would just mistakenly assume mention of USB 2.0 Full Speed means 480 Mbs rather than the 12 Mbs max that it actually is. Although I knew the difference from way back (I used to work in IT), I must admit when I bought my TyTN II I fell for the not looking past the 'USB 2.0' spec.
I have a brace of chargers for my Samsung BlackJack and BlackJack 2 that I was hopin got use for my new Telstra HD2 that arrives tomorow. Does anyone know if they will work?

What are the ratings on the Samsung charger?
Is it a micro-USB plug on it?
I don't know the ratings right now. I'm at work but will look them up and post them here when I get home. They had micro-USD jacks on them. Come to think of it I probably have some data cables lying around that I can use too!
Thanks for your help!

chargers of samsung blackjack 1, 2 & Omnia1 will not work with the HTC HD2
But charger & USB sync cable of the Samsung Omnia2 will work 100%, Im using both the Omnia2 and Telstra HD2 right now.
I have been scouring the web & even overseas manufacturers looking for anyone that can provide a MHL 3.0 Adapter. Has anyone seen one on the market yet? Some of the overseas sites are poorly worded, MHL 3.0 USB, but upon further investigation, all have been MHL 2.0 with support for USB 3.0.
If anyone has a source for these, in either single unit or batch lots for resale, please let me know.

NO> Any that aupprts the 5-pin should work fine. It is just that 2.0 & 3.0 don't need external power, if supported by the device, & 3.0 has greater speed & bandwidth capabilities. 4K video & 7.1 surround sound (L-PCM) support.

Except that one states in big red letter that external power is REQUIRED. WHich would make it MHL 1.0. It also states 1080p, again MHL 3.0 supports 4k video. Most of the MHL 2.0 devices also support at least USB 3.0, that one supports USB 2.0, which again supports it being an MHL 1.0 device.
That's the thing, I have found a few that claim to be MHL 3, but none of them seem to pan out to actually be MHL 3.0. Most of the time when you contact to call them on it, or inquire, you get zero response. Ebay is pretty notorious for knock offs too, like the 128Gb & even 64Gb UH1 Micro SD cards.
So there is no mhl 3.0 5pin out there adapter yet.
Which 2.0 5 pin adapter should I be
buying for the HTC One m8?

Good question. I am researching that now. I find it hard to believe that a year old standard still isn't supported by accessory manufacturers, even though it is by the device manufacturers.
I'll let you know what ones I try & how it goes.

That's the same exact one I bought for my LG G2. I assumed the G2 supported MHL, but in fact it supported DisplayPort, so I had this laying around for a while, and it works just fine for the M8.

It might be a year old standard, but devices/phones supporting it are only just now being released. So, accessory manufacturers have had no reason to manufacture any adapters until now. Hopefully it won't be too long until we start seeing some now that there are some devices that can take advantage of it.

Thanks. That's the one I tried and didn't work but maybe it was defective. Did anyone bought that one also? Does it work on the HTC One m8?
For what its worth the one I bought I have to plug things in in a specific order or it won't work. I believe it is power, then HDMI, then MHL into M8. I have to do this each time, if I unplug it from the phone and just plug it back in it won't work until I unplug everything and reconnect in that order.
Nice, thanks for the tip

I finally received a different MHL adapter I bought but it still dosent work. I did what you said, first power, then HDMI and then MHL to the phone. The symbol of MHL beeing connected appears but there is onde more no image on the TV. I even tried connecting first power, then MHL and then HDMI but it´s the same thing. Can someone give me some tips, please? I am getting desperate
Did you ever get this figured out? I just used mhl for the first time on my m8. I used the same cable I did for my m7. It's a
Skiva 6.5 feet MHL (Micro USB) to male HDMI cable. I had trouble at first but here's how I got it to work flawlessly: first I plugged everything in, no particular order... Next I plugged in the micro usb part to my m8 while the tv input was still on my normal everyday input... I waited until my red charging light turned on my m8 then I switched to the correct tv input. My m8 went into mhl mode and I streamed a movie perfectly.
I tried switching the tv input first then plugging in my phone and it wouldn't work. But, when I left it on my normal input, then plugged my phone in and saw it was charging, then changed inputs.... Success!
Thanks, I will try if that works. But I've got little hopes, to be honest
