Sorry if this has been covered already but have a question about powering a s3 from external power source
If i have a regulated power supply of 3.8 volts could this be done?
Have seen a similar thing done here to older phone just wondering if anybody did this before?
My reason for doing it is watching movies via host usb drains too much power and no way to charge and usb at same time.
Any thoughts on this being possible...???

Proof? Without proof no one is going to believe you.
Will do, I don't have another device to take the picture so I'll be using the mirror for my phone I found a old 3DS and remembered that it can record videos (sorry for the bad quality though and the mic is broke so there is no sound) and a different power source called the PocketJuice (http://tzumi.com/manuals/Solo2000mAh.pdf) which supplies a bit more power than a USB port, but just for portability sakes... I'll then edit my thread this post to tell you I've posted it... [right now the PocketJuice is charging/I decided to use clear tape to prove that my phone is connected by wires to prevent any more skeptical assumptions and the blue usb cord I'm using is from a Intel Play Digital Movie Creator that wasn't getting any use so I decided to take it's usb cord... (http://www.intel.com/content/dam/ww...2001-vol05-iss-4-intel-technology-journal.pdf on page 49 for pdf) ]
Okay I've made it new with support here you go...
I have made a new forum because I could not edit it (Already reported my older forum to have deleted by the mods)... http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/accessories/how-to-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-battery-t3417303

Hey guys I bought the authentic Samsung MHL (HDMI) adapter for my phone and when I plug it in nothing happens. When I connect it to the tv, nothing. I am on Unnamed 2.1
Any suggestions on settings or apps or is it the rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Do you have a power cable connected to the adapter? It requires a power source to work.

Let us know. I bought a menotek and it wont hold a connection. I had to get up 2x each movie just to push on the cable. I need to know if the Samsung does the same. If so, this whole feature is worthless.
Check the other thread on here started by bw31 something i wrote a lot on this subject. I'm running unnamed 2.2.1 works perfectly

You're not an idiot, you just didn't read the directions. I would have done the same thing if I hadn't already read through these threads, considering I never read the directions.
Saw this over on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 forums since I got my wife one for Christmas. Wondering if we could adapt this to let us charge faster while plugged in a USB?

Already wrote something similar into the kernel I'm working on. You'll be able to toggle it via incredicontrol.

Any chance of having this in app form?
I have the headphone interference and don't want to void my warranty just yet, unless your kernel will fix that as well? (HTC is saying it's a software issue)
So I noticed that my phone is not charging while plugged into the USB in my car. Tried using mobile search which is useless. Also noticed if I wiggle the port it sometimes grabs the charge. Just need to know if I have to put back to stock and turn in for warranty. Kinda live off my phone, I drive for a living so I need it working right.

Does your charger work in a wall socket? If it has the same problems, it's the charger. Try buying a new one to see if it works like that. But I can't think of anything on the spot while you're driving.
Also, you shouldn't be using you're phone while driving. D:

Wiggle the port on the car side? Bad car charger/cable.
Wiggle the port on the phone side, bad USB port/cable.
How clean is the socket in your car? Often times they are located in ash trays or near cup holders and get filled with spooge, try cleaning the female part of the car charger and see if you get a more consistent charge? Since your not complaining about not being able to charge at home, your USB socket I assume is fine, I'd bet it's either the cable or the cars receptacle (either dirty or faulty)

Thx for the help I think its the port on the phone . Seems like I'll be having a fun day at the phone store lol btw I drive limos so plenty of down time just no terminal to be had

Just buy a new one You can also try to solder a new female micro usb end but it'd be too much work.

Even the full site's search function isn't exactly user friendly. It's very powerful, but you have to already know how to use it.

I would say if someone has common sense and any idea how to navigate a forum it should be a breeze. Unfortunately most people are too lazy and want answers naaaooooowww.

I assume it is the same as an MHL connector. My questions are 1) Does it also charge your phone so it doesn't die if you're trying to watch a movie on an HDTV and 2) For the following product linked below, what is that small connector for that's next to the part that plugs into the back of your TV? I see that the other end of it plugs into your phone but can't figure out what the 3rd connector is for.

Hi everybody.
I was playing with my i777 and flashed a gallery file (just 1 apk) via CWM. It booted fine but crashed when using the camera and then rebooted. After reboot, it turned off and now I cannot turn it on again.
I tried download mode by removing battery, holding the two volume buttons and connecting to USB. That did nothing. I also tried USB jig which also did nothing. Connecting the phone to AC power source to see if at least the battery charging screen will show up also does nothing.
So the screen remains black with the soft buttons not lighting up. My phone is hard bricked from the looks of it. So my question is will sending this to MobileTechVideos for JTAG have a highly likelihood for unbricking or should I save the $50 and USPS charges and just buy a Nexus 4? I mean if they don't fix it, I will need a new phone anyway, heck I don't even have a spare phone.
Previous ROM was CM 10.1 03062013 nightly.
I don't even understand how that could have resulted in a brick...

I don't either but like I mentioned above. It rebooted ok after CWM flash then hung then android rebooted. It crashed then won't respond to jig, USB, power cable.
I failed to mention that I am afraid that this is an EMMC failure and that they might not be able to fix it and I would be wasting $50.
You say you tried Download mode, but made no mention of RECOVERY. If you can get there you're not bricked.

Nothing works. Not even the charging screen shows up when you plug it in. No button combo is working.
Phone is not detected by ADB

2) Try using USB jig again

Yeah I got it from XDA, it was supposed to be something to enable PicasaSync.
I already sent it to MTV so I think we can close this thread.
Thanks all.

Of course not. Flashed it with CWM recovery (or whatever recovery CM 10.1 comes with) as stated in OP.
