I jailbroke my mytouch 3g aka htc magic and was running cyanogen6.1, originally with amon ra's recovery but then switched to clockwork for ROM manager.
It was running pretty crappy after owning it for a year and dropping it a lot, so I hit up tmobile for my upgrade and they told me that the hd7 could do video out, and that her husband had done it.
I've been searching for the past two days trying to find anything about it and nothing. I talked to tmobile a few times and a few people at htc. One person at htc said that it would have to be a docking station type thing with the microusb (to connect to phone) and a 120v us power plug, and an hdmi out. I asked if he knew if they existed with rca outs and he said yes but harder to find. I can't find rca or hdmi outs on any docking stations for this phone. Does anyone have any intel on this?
Thanks.

Seriously?
No replies at all? I can't be the only one that wants video out capability. Maybe because I started with my xda background of rooting my mytouch people stopped reading.
I want to know how to video out of my hd7. Audio is obviously easy enough. 3.5mm to split rca or whichever you want. But will a microusb to hdmi work? Can you get a microusb to a single yellow RCA? Was the htc guy right that you have to have a docking station? Docking station seems like a good idea either way because the main reason I would want this is to watch netflix and freinds houses that don't have internet and such. Docking station would hopefully give you the ability to charge the phone and video out at the same time.
Any replies would be appreciated.

RCA to HDMI isnt easy, and doubt unless you knew electronics in an advanced way could hack something up i think your stuck
What about just using a microusb to hdmi cable to connect to a tv with an hdmi in. Would the phone automatically know to transmit video signal across the microusb or is there an app that could manage that in existence yet?
Also, has anyone heard of the docking station the htc guy referred to that has a 120v us plug and has the ability to charge the phone and transmit video via hdmi output from docking station, at the same time?
I just returned the phone and am going to go with the new G2X instead, but this info could still be helpful to some.
That would be useful for me :-D

Hey guys, I found this cable on Buy and it looks interesting. I have not bought it yet but it does list the Bionic as compatible. Has anyone tried it? If so, please let us know how it is. If not, and you have a spare $10 go for it and bring back word. When mine comes I'll do the same.
Thanks!
So would be used for headsets with microphones, right? I see no reason for it unless that is the case.
It would be for 3.5mm audio out from the USB port w/o buying motos full car dock set.

Can you charge the phone while using this? It appears to only have a male USB plug, without any provision to plug a charger into a female jack.
i dont think this cable will work, and if it does id be a waste to not just spend another ten bucks and get the moto OEM cable +charging
heres why: the OEM cable not only charges and outputs audio but, more importantnly, *it bypasses the internal SW amp*. this means you are outputting as clean of an analog signal as you can from the phone to be amped directly by your car's components. you lose the ability to DSP/FX/Beats control, but if you use NeutronMP like you should be, it doesn't matter at all
Wouldn't trust the compatibility list, as Apple i-devices are listed as well. I used to be interested in a product like this, but seems redundant to me now... (why not use 1/8" Jack/aux cable?)

Is there such a thing? I was given an iPhone dock/stereo as a present a while back but no longer use my touch, I still use the dock a lot though via AUX out to laptop/ phone/Nex7 but was wondering if anyone knows of a converter so I can make use of the dock as a place to keep my phone/ Nex 7 to charge (obviously not expecting it to work as a player, just to charge). A device that has a male micro USB one of side with a female iPhone port on the other.
Cheers.

Never seen that type. They make micro usb -> iPhone adapters, but I have never seen the reverse. Somebody out there must make something though. I'd try a google or ebay search.
Hello, if I understand correctly, it is that, but I still can not post the link, did a google search with "dockBossplus"
Yeah that's the sort of thing I'm thinking, I as hoping for more of a one unit device, ie, without an cable so it would more or less sit on the dock as an iDevice would.

Anyone know of someway to use Bluetooth in any car stereo by the use of adding a Bluetooth receiver or something to the auxilliary port? I've messed my up my port on my phone before and I don't wanna do it again with my refurb . I listen to a lot of music...
You could plug an FM transmitter into the headphone socket and tune the car radio to it if that's any help, those things are very cheap these days and you can get them integrated into car chargers..

Love the idea but my radio is broken lol
Belkin makes a product for this. Two of them in fact. Look it up on belkins website under the iPhone in car section.

If you're willing to replace your head unit, search these forums for mention of the JVC KD-X50BT. Its a nice Bluetooth receiving head unit that apparently has some pretty decent sound. Reasonably priced, too! I plan on picking one up soon to use with my nexus.

The belkin, if its the cheap one we're both talking about, apparently has awful sound quality. Maybe the second of the two is better.
Always check reviews, just ignore the idiots lol

I remember looking on ebay and seeing what looked like a bluetooth box thing that connected through the aux port.
ie this: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/iKross-Bluet...ltDomain_0&hash=item51a218fae1#ht_2983wt_1032
For a simpler idea, cant one just use a male to male cable to connect it?
i just bought this and recieved it today..
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00727FE5U/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
its great, no loss in sound quality, easy charging and easy pairing, small with short cord, comes with an adapter so you can also connect it to stereos/tvs/etc.., also has good BT range.

Oh thanks this is exactly what I was looking for! Can you easily switch the chord out with a longer one?
Do an ebay search for "bluetooth receiver", you'll find all kinds of devices. As for how well they work, well, let us know. :laugh:
You can try the flexsmart x2. It has a line out and line in jack. It is charger and Bluetooth as well. If you plug the line out to the head auxiliary jack then hook the device up through Bluetooth, you won't have to keep unplugging and plugging in. It could potentially work through Bluetooth.
I would try it, bit my car radio doesn't have an auxiliary jack though. Ill see If I can figure out a way to test it and report back.

They have a bluetooth 2.0 a2dp on deal extreme, it gives pretty decent sound and is only 13$, only downside is you have to wait for like a month for it to get here. I can post links yet as I havent hit 10 posts lol, but the sku is 8422 and its on Deal Xtreme. Happy hunting
I use this one in my truck.It did not come with bluetooth and I plug this in my aux to listen to music from the n7 or phone.It works well and pairs very easy.Battery last around 12 hours during use and charges in about 2.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll check these out once I get away from this blocked WiFi.

Im using the HTC Stereo Clip. Awesome device. A little pricey but I think worth it because it does sound like it's directly plugged into the device.

I use the Stereo Clip as well. I've found that battery life on it sucks, so to remedy that I have it constantly plugged into a car charger. This works for me because both my AUX port and a charging port are inside my center console, so they are both hidden from view. Otherwise, you have to recharge it every 2 days or so.

How long do you have it connected? What's your bt device play time? I guess I don't use the clip enough in a shot to really compare. But I have been happy with it and I too, have it constantly plugged into my car charger.
I like some of these that I see here. The GoGroove has pretty decent reviews but can it charge while I use it in my car? Anything that I won't have to take out of my car to charge and has pretty decent audio quality will do. Also if it sleeps on its own when a Bluetooth device isn't connected to it. Really just needs to not be so much of a hassle to use and be reliable.
I use the digital audio out from the mini usb to my Fiio Andes DAC. After taking OTA, Spotify freezes when adjusting volume and my handset become completely unresponsive, necessitating a hard reboot. Sadness ensues.
I didn't think it supported USB audio out to begin with. Wouldn't work on my stereo when I first bought the phone

tgearman, I didn't even know these devices worked with any USB audio out. This is pretty damn cool.
Have you played around in AOSP based ROMs? Does this capability work in any of those? What does your setup look like? You've got me super curious.
I've got the Sprint hTC One and picked up the OTG cable on Amazon for about $8 USD. The cable is usb mini (male) which connects to the handset. My phone recognized it immediately and routed the audio out. The other end of the OTG is usb standard (female) which connects to my Fiio cable. Shure se535's on the business end = Bam!

Gonna have to try that. Didn't know you needed USB otg. I tried with USB micro to regular USB - same as pc connect
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
I'm thinking they jump a couple of pins and that's how the handset recognizes the OTG and switches to audio-out on that port. It's pretty slick - give it a try. I put a review on the cable on Amazon. Reviewed under tgearman - search on that and you'll find the right one.
