Micro USB scratches - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone else notice that the stock micro USB cable pins (the 2 pins that hold the plug in place) stick out too much and will scratch the battery cover leaving 2 obvious dents overtime?

Don't know what you mean. I don't see any pins. Took.the back cover off as well. All looks ok.

Give it a month. Those pins will dissapear inside the connector. Happens with all microusb plugs real quick.

I have the same problem. Generic microusb does not fit.
Edit: Had problems whith my elcheapo Chinese from ebay. Bought another elcheapo cable in Sweden and it works perfect.

This is a cable I got on Amazon.com It is great quality and it costs 6 bucks. I get a black screen. I have used the cable before with no issue. Thanks though. I doubt that is the issue but I will try it.

Send it back to monoprice. They replace for free.
I have many monoprice cables and occasionally, some of them don't work right. Just send it back. Their customer service is very good.
The current microHDMI cable I have from them works perfectly. No jiggling necessary.

Where to buy an amaze charging cable...

I'm looking to buy a longer charging/USB cable that has the same connector as the stock one that came with the phone. I have a ton of those micro usb wires, but these have a tendency to easily disconnect. I have a USB extention cable, but that limits the charging to less than 400mah or less.
Thanks in advanced

I got mine on amazon for a couple bucks each. Try searching "htc oem cable." Mine are white from another htc model but perfect in all ways.
I would pick a couple of these up. They are a hell of a deal. Very thick, about 4ft long, and data exchange work perfectly. Charges my phone quickly too. Hard to believe they were only $1, and He's a US Seller so you will get them quick.

That is not an OEM cable, it is MicroUSB. They work, but the are not OEM.
Is this the white one you are taking about?

The cable for the Amaze has a 12pt micro USB end. It's the same cable needed for the HTC Flyer. Compared to other micro USB cables that are only 8pt. This one fits more securely.

I'm glad I read this thread. I'm using my EVO charging cables and they work but are very slow.
If charging current is low check the ground connection between both end , it may be disconnected . I bought couple of cable from ebay all same problem later make one and i happy with that charging current now 800 plus .
on ebay.

[Q] USB charging

Ok i am thinking about buying an amaze 4g but i do have a deal breaker question.
I noticed the amaze has a special usb charger, will i damage the port by using a regular microusb, or will it all be good?
Thanks in advance
P.S. Wasn't sure if this should go in general or Q&A
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
No. It'll fit just fine. Just have to make sure it sits in there securely. But the original plug and charger is only a few dollars on Amazon.

Does the OEM cable work faster or something? Or is it irrelevant
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
The speed of charging depends on the wall plug not the cable. I'm not too sure why HTC changed the plug. Someone else can chime in for that.
HTC changed the cable so that it doubles as an HDMI output with the proper adapter. The official cable does charge a bit faster than a standard microusb, but no other functionality should be lost if you don't buy one of those cables. There are only a handful of HTC devices that use it now, and If I'm correct all of them border on obsolete now.

Charger plug "seal" is broken...how do I replace?

hello all,
I'll keep it short and sweet--
The little black seal inside the charger plug, that plugs into the phone is broken..now the plug will not properly close and the phone is no longer waterproof. how do I go about replaced that one seal?
Thanks a lot!

(I know that image is NOT of the charger or even of a z ultra..but I am just trying to give reference to the black plug I am talking about)
Thanks a lot!
Hi you got the water seals around the connector, so the phone still water proof. If the cover is broken replace it by a new one

Hmm okay..thanks.
Where can I go to buy the connected then? Also, how would I install the connector? It is installed inside the phone...
If the connector is broken you need to open the phone for replacing

Well, the connector isn't physically broken...just the seal inside the connector. What must I do then?
Also, where would I buy phone pieces for the z ultra?

It's possible that one of the connections is lose or may have ripped. Check that all the cables are firmly secure and in place.

thanks for replay already check socket with maginify glass all joints and pins look fine.
It's either the other flex cable or mainboard issue... I should be receiving another parts phone in a few days and will better at narrowing down the problem.
