Alright folks, i bought my Note last Saturday after breaking my Atrix screen the 2nd time. (fixed it myself and then broke it a week later again and then broke the USB when it broke the 2nd time.) Anyway, i am loving my Note and was due for an upgrade anyway. I haven't had to deal with MHL Adapters before, my Atrix had an actual mini HDMI out. Are there any that are better than others or brands that i need to stay away from?

I think it depends on when you got it. From what i've read, the early ones had a different resistor in it that worked fine on the Cappy but apparently doesn't on the GSII. I assume the later ones got a slightly different resistor since they work on both.
I just ordered one from Mobile Tech Videos too. Luckily I never needed one for my Captivate.
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
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
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.

My screen cracked and I had to make an insurance claim...I'm getting a refurbishes replacement...anyone have any bad experience with them?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
With this phone specifically? Yes. I returned my first one because it had a dead pixel, and the one they gave me had a broken USB port. It thinks its on a USB charger when it's on a wall charger, therefore making my phone charge slow. I also can't connect it to a computer I'm actually still using it too, I figured that I'd return it when something happens to it
The ducks symbolize death!
Through the 7 refurb captivates I had, and the two refurb I777's so far, all of them have looked and function brand new if not better.
My wife has one. 6 months and no issues to report.

Mine looked brand spanking new and hasn't had any issues at all. Best $10 I ever spent (that wasn't on a six pack hah).

I have a refurb i777 I got a while back. As far as I can tell, it's been perfect. I would actually almost rather have a refurb as a replacement than a new phone...the refurb units are put through much more rigorous testing before they're sold than the new units are.

Same here. No issues. Love this phone!
I tried to upgrade with a refurb I777. It was DOA when I received it. Wouldn't power on. I called ATT and told them about it and they sent another. It was also DOA and wouldn't power on. Sent them back and went to Sam's Club and bought a new one for $50. I've had other refurb phones and they were all fine. My wife's Cappy is a refurb and it's been flawless. I think for the most part they do pretty well but you may run into a few bad ones now and then.
Yeah once in awhile you'll hear problem reports but for the most part refurbs are just fine. My Blackberry Curve refurb I got like 4 years ago died a week after I got it. But ATT sent me another, only took 2 days to get it, and the replacement is actually still in excellent condition. Same happened to my fiances but second time was a charm for her too.

Mine is refurbished and has worked flawlessly since the day I got it which was about a month and a half ago, so I wouldn't worry if I were you.

So I got my phone and it feels brand new. Rooted and flashed 5/11 AOKP & NEAK and it is running great so far. Screen seeems a little nicer as well. I notice less banding.

No, don't worry, I had trouble understanding, as well. It was a very nondescript title.
Thanksgiving: I bought mine retail price on launch day back around thanksgiving. Had the SIM card trouble, but it only came up using one ROM. Havent used that ROM since and havent seen the SIM error since (never ejected SIM nor reseated it)
St Patrick's Day: Had my phone in by back pocket and was kinda tipsy and well, jumped up actin a fool and it jumped out my pocket too! and fell onto the concrete.. luckily it only cracked the bottom corner, and that crack is nowhere in the way of my screen.
Still rocking strong. Wont send it back for a replacement bc i aint want the OTA
Still on my original DNA....bought it on launch day. Its in a diztronic case and hasn't been dropped. Only thing that happened is the usb flap broke, but I was contemplating ripping that out anyway!
Got mine in December, still mint other than the USB door coming off on its own.

Same here, bought mine second week it came out [hesitently because of first round lemons] but my phone has been nothing but gold for me. Equipped it with an OtterBox at purchase and dropped it over 10 ft while at work. Everything still fully functional including usb flap - which you just need to learn how to have a gentle touch with.
What I've done with my USB flap is just slide it to the left [at the point it's connected] and then is should seat back into position. No notion of it possibly breaking
Sure... I'll bite. To answer the first question, the point of this thread is to run his post count up. But, I am on my second DNA. The first one I hard bricked trying to turn s-off. It was actually just really bad luck. It was to the portion of the process in which it erases and re-writes the boot image, and I lost power. Insta-brick. Anyhow, my DNA is totally durable. My 18 month has thrown it down on the tile floor more times than I can count, and the phone doesn't have any damage. Overall I am more than satisfied with the durability of this device.
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?
