Is there any big difference between the cord that came with this vs the cord that came with the incredible?

yeah ill tell ya man, thats the only gripe I got with this phone, and its really not even that big of a deal LOL. But i got about a dozen USB Cables from my EVO 3D and now there useless. But i was just gonna order a new Car Charger from the Verizon Site, but im hoping that its got the right connector on it. Its not showing that its made specific for the Rezound. Its saying its compatible with most devices...whata ya gonna do?...it is what it is!!!

All my old android chargers work with my rezound. My droid x charger. My wife's incredible 2 charger and my car charge I had with my thunderbolt.

Any microusb charger will work. In fact the chargers for your evo 3d are the same as the one for the rezound try flipping it upside down, it is that way with the incredible. I am currently charging my rezound with a years old blackberry charger.

the answer to your question is no. They are not the same.
the one that came with my rezound was an MHL plug.
the good news is that a regular micro usb will fit in there, you just have to make sure you put it in the right.

Actually I appreciate the port change. The one it comes with is locked in place. And any micro USB will fit just make sure u flip it so the clips r on top

I prefer the MHL port as well, nice and sturdy. But yeah, and micro USB is compatible with our port.
I like trolling my friends when their battery is low with the new cable. They used to mooch off of my charger, but it won't work with their phones anymore lol. I'll be the one bumming the charger off of them when my phone gets low if I don't have mine... Although they might just deny me the cord for previously trolling them lol.

Try a different TV, other Android video out ports haven't played nicely with certain hdmi inputs in the past.
Got mine. Works well except it didn't bypass what I hoped it would. I thought maybe on an HTC, the NFL Mobile app would not shut off the HDMI out for live content. Turns out, it still does. Booooooo!
I want Red Zone without having to buy Sunday Ticket. Does anyone know if this can be solved via root or does the NFL Mobile app pretty much hose you no matter what?
Got a different rezound from Verizon and now it works. No sound through hdmi though just picture?

Warranty on charger?

wsup guys. my USB charger just broke for my Rezound. I was wondering if there was any sort of warranty on those that Verizon (or Amazon, since I bought the phone through them) would honor?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
good lord, what in the hell did you do to that poor thing? lol
That looks like physical damage to me and would not be covered anyway.
I would take this one as a loss and just buy a new one. They are cheap.
Should be a year. Depending on who you talk to... Amazon might have to take care of it, but when I talked to Verizon about Amazon and issues like this, they always told me to just go into the store and have it replaced. The warranty on it is 1 year, just like your phone, battery and memory card.
Note that if you purchase a separate charger, you're bound by that warranty, though usually a year, you might have to mail it to someone.
Just tell them... as long as its the truth... I tried to pull the cable out of the phone, and the connector stayed lodged inside the phone's USB connector.
It's a cable, and costs them nothing to have them made. My company sells cables similar to this for $16 and they cost us a buck to have made. The markup is ridiculous.
They are pretty cheap or any Blackberry Charger or other Droid Charger works. They prob wont warranty that.

Lol its not like I used the USB outside of its normal functions. I simply plugged it into my phone at night and unplugged it in the morning every day since I got it back in December.

Jayochs knows what I meant.

What about the wireless charging accessory/addon?!

I'm kinda disappointed, I was hoping that Samsung would show the wireless charging accessory at IFA.
I've been waiting for it since I got my S3.
Seems it's been kinda forgotten. Nobody's talking about it.
Am I the only one disappointed with this?
Does anyone have any info?

I'm all with you on that buddy. Been waiting for this thing for what seems like ages. Although at this point I fear they aren't gonna release it after all, which would be a real shame.

You can get wireless charging pads that will do the same job. Prob a lot cheaper than a Samsung branded one. You can only charge the phone if its right next to it anyway.
Pity tesla's technology got repressed or we would of been walking about the house with our phones on charge long before now X)

Yes, but I want the Samsung one. Don't wanna have to solder, don't want a back case with no Samsung logo on it.

If that was being used widely all of our electric bills would be through the roof, wireless charging over distance is immensely inefficient
hoping the wireless charger comes soon though to match my touchstone for the touchpad

Yeah me too.
I mean we all know that our device has a wireless charging option ready to use. All you probably have to do is change the backplate which will probably come in the wireless charging kit (if it ever comes out ).

Broken MicroUSB Charge Port :(

Last night my Evo 4G LTE fell off the nightstand while on the charger and unfortunately broke the MicroUSB port. Everything else still works fine but I'm obviously unable to charge the phone and since it has an internal battery in 68% the phone will be pretty worthless.
I've called local repair shops and none of them will touch a charge port. I have a friend that will do the solder job for me and I found replacement USB ports on E-bay for the evo 3d, can I use the same part or does the LTE need a different part?
Any insight is greatly appreciated.

That stinks. Sorry, not much other help. Let us know what you do.
I haven't been able to find a picture of the evo lte charge port. It could possibly work, you just need to make sure all of the legs are the right size and location
Id say open your phone up, examine the charge port, and how all the legs are, and how the pins are. Many charge ports work over many models. Sammy is a little better than htc on being the same, but its worth a shot.
Sorry I couldn't help you farther.
Same thing happened to me. Had to use insurance for the replacement.

Why don't you take it to sprint repair store? If they couldn't fix it they will give you a replacement for $35.

False. Insurance or bust with sprint repair. They won't touch the USB.

A couple of guys service the charging port on ebay, cost $39 + shipping cost to send to them
Try looking for one x parts. They have the same USB port mounted in the same place. If it really is just the microusb. Get a female port, desolder the one on your phone very carefully. And solder on the new one. Careful not to scratch any imbedded circuit, and good luck.

My wife's Galaxy II port stopped working, and Sprint replaced the phone for $35. No insurance here. Just sayin...
I couldn't get mine to work, but soon realized there was debris inside of the port. Cleaned it out and it works like a champ. Might check to make sure.

USB charging wire!

Does anyone know where I can buy either an OEM charging wire that doesn't cost too much or just a regular USB charging cable for my DNA that isn't crappy? Thanks!
I found a pretty good one but since I can't post links yet I'll tell you how to get there: go to amazon and search Oem Charging Wire and click on the first link which is called Samsung OEM Micro USB Data Charging Cable (5 ft/1.5m) for Samsung Galaxy S II, Epic 4G Touch, Skyrocket, Galaxy Attain, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S Wifi 4.2, Galaxy Pocket, Rugby Smart and More. Hope I helped! It's not prime though, sorry.

Or contact htc say it broke or whatever happened to it and they will send you a new one for free made for the dna. My charger broke and they did that and it's the oem one. You will need your phone information to prove you own the phone. You get one accessory replacement per year from them.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
You can use literally any micro-USB cable. Monoprice has a them in varying lengths for a few bucks.
Amazon!! Anytime I need anything for my phone I go there. I got a brand new stock battery for my rezound for 2 bucks back when I was using that phone. Stock usb cables for a penny all day. Cases 90% off retail. I sound like I work for them or something but I'm just that happy with the deals I constantly find on there. Half the time you even get free 2 day shipping.

Must have gotten a bad rep because all i did was call and tell them what happened and they sent a cable and wall charger meant for the DNA at no cost. I would try again because if you own an htc phone they will replace one accessory a year from them if something happens to it.
Definitely a bad rep. I had a new wall charger/cable sent to me the next week. No questions asked.

Do you have to have your phone registered through them or anything? I bought my dna new from Verizon in February, and the charger quit working two months later. I don't think I've ever registered it or anything like that. Do they just require the imei and serial/ information on the sticker, or how do they verify that you are the owner of the device?
