[Q] Is the Omnia 7 USB data cable/wire unique? - Omnia 7 General

Hello,
I have left the USB cable at home and I would like to be able to sync my phone with my PC while I am away.
If I am not able to get ahold of the right cable, is there maybe another Windows phone or Samsung USB cable I can use?
Please reply - thanks in advance,

It is indeed! I believe it is a required standard feature of all WP7 phones, is it not?

Thanks guys, I feel silly now. I tried a Mini-USB rather than a Micro-USB, oops!
Going to go pick one up now cheers!

With some phones i know its possible, dont know about diamond, ive seen people hooking up usb gamecontrollers even. It was'nt possible on my hermes.
ok, but the concept of a cable between miniusb and usb female is possible?
in otherwords you want usb host...
there are several threads on that here already

Yes.
You can make it if you want, but you can buy it too.
Look on ebay.

there is none!
As someone already have pointed out; there is no USB-host funcionality on the diamond. Even if you get the cable you request, it won't help.

You have bad cable, some cables are made non standard on purpose. They have shorter pins or something so you cannot use them for any other device.
but the plug is not the same
My HTC HD has a diffrent shape miniUSB jack on the bottom.
How can I use a standart miniUSB cable?
Do you have the same miniUSB shape?

miniusb

I have a question.
I want to buy a BlackStone, but I have plenty mini usb cables
(carchanger, usb from my old phones Wizard, Compact III and Touch)
can i use these on the mini extended usb port or not
Thanks a lot
normal mini usb will work ok for charging, but I couldn't get it to work for sync - pretty sure you need a proper HTC one for that, which has only one corner cut off

Same here, I've used a few different cables as well, no problems with any of them.
Works fine with all cables!
I've used 3 different cable and all of them are working perfect.

Watch out, probably your cable was rather old. I know the problem from GPS-devices, when using old cables (maybe prior to USB 2.0... but did they really have usb mini then??)) the device noticed that it's plugged in - but the computer couldn't see it.
well that's rather good news - thanks everyone
I'll try a selection (I've got a few )
wonder why the official one has the extra corner then
This is why I like this forum,
thanks a lot dudes, tomorrow the blackstone will be mine
so i have not to buy alot cables, im gonna love its screen
Even HTC sells both types of cables, as suitable for both charging and data connection:

thanx guys for the info
now i have my HD, its super..... I mean it
hell, I use the charging cable for my PS3 controller to sync my Blackstone! official one from the box is permenantly plugged into the mains charger unit in another room so I don't have to carry the cable to and fro!

[Q] Can I connect PC usb keybaord to the Nexus10?

Hello,
Can I connect a normal PC USB keybaord to the Nexus 10, using its USB port? If yes, is there an app/mod to make it work?
Or do I have to buy a special keyboard for it?
Thanks

yes you can. all you need is a usb OTG cable (one end is a usb, other end is a micro usb), their very cheap..about $2 on amazon. you dont need any apps, root, or anything else to make it work. It will just work.

No power going through OTG cable?

I've recently bought a USB OTG cable but my phone (D290N) doesn't give power to any device I connect. I tried on a Lenovo tablet I have handy in my home and I can confirm that the problem is only with our device. How can I make my phone give voltage to the OTG cable ?

Haha otg is not only about hardware the kernel also has to support it, even my secondary device supports it by hardware but the kernel doesn't.....
Of course it does support otg, but not fully. It doesn't give power when u connect something to the port though.. :/ So how can I make it give power ?

You have to get an otg set up with a separate power source. The old nexus 4 was the same way.
How exactly do I do that? I have one more cable with a USB A Male connector.

To be honest I am not sure as I never used the OTG for the nexus 4 or any device I have used so far so really have not looked into it.
