I was curious if anyone has had or seen issues with the HOX+ USB port. I was at an AT&T store today and played with the phone, but noticed the plug on the display unit was messed up. I had to giggle or hold the charging cord in a specific spot for the phone to charge. I could tell this by the charging icon in the battery icon on the tool bar.

I know what you're talking about and I've only seen this problem with the cable that HTC sends with the phone. I've tried several other microUSB cables and they all connect perfectly. You also have to consider the fact that the display unit at the AT&T store gets used and dropped by everyone. This includes little kids and dumbasses who disconnect the cable and then try to jam it back in upside down.
TL;DR: Mine works fine. The only trouble I've had is with the stock HTC microUSB cable; others work fine.
Yea I don't use the stock one, I have an Asus charging cable and it snaps in perfectly.
Slithered from my HTC One X+
Thanks, I mark it up to it being a display unit but I wanted to ask. The device is connected to one of those magnetic anti-theft glue on the back things. It has a non-HTC microUSB cable on it, like every other Android device on the shelf.
I really like stock Android, but I am considering this as a 2nd device. My primary is either an iPhone 4S or Galaxy NExus, and the SIM card stays in the Nexus more these days. Pretty funny for a guy that bought a 4gb iPhone 2G in August 2007 when they first came out, and I still have all my iPhones. I am pretty much using my iPhone 4S as a Podcast listening device, as I love Downcast. I am trying to make myself like Doggcatcher, but it missing a few things when it is compared to Downcast. Most of my interaction with software on my Galaxy Nexus is with apps from the Play Store, so some of the Sense UI stuff will not be that bad, I hope.

Those are his current phones, I believe he is considering a One X+ to replace one or both of them.
My daily driver for calls, text, web, RSS, YouTube, Google+ and more is my Galaxy Nexus.
My use my iPhone 4S to listen to podcast and sometimes on WiFi to save battery juice on my Galaxy Nexus.
My AT&T sim card stays in my Galaxy Nexus 99% of the time, but I do carry 2 smart phones with me most of the time.
I am looking to get an HOX+ to replace the iPhone 4S, and I may get a 2nd phone line when I do. When the Nexus 4 is available for purchase again, I will get one to replace my Galaxy Nexus. I may also mess around with Ubuntu on my Galaxy Nexus in the future.

I ordered it a couple of days off of Amazon for $60. Flipped the ports and shaved down the plastic pieces to make it fit and it works like a charm for both my wife's stock ICS and my rooted custom ICS ROM (Eclipse 1.1). I know some folks like the old webtop interface better but the interface is so smooth now. And plus, it has one thing that other tablets don't have: touch typing without an additional peripheral which was important to me. It is also definitely better with a bluetooth mouse but the trackpad is passable.
If you have a lapdock, where did you find extension cables for the ports in case I didn't want to shove it into the back? The best I can find right now for a set of female to male micro HDMI and USB cables is almost $30 including shipping (that's half the cost of the dock).
Also, what are some of your favorite apps in webtop mode? Been digging QuickOffice and the stock Google apps.

At first i thought this thing was gimmicky. After using it for a week i can say this thing is great. With the logitech wireless mouse this acts just like a laptop. Scrolling with mouse, copy and paste like windows. Alt/tab shortcut to pull up other programs. I could mention more but... Basically i don't even turn my laptops on now.

I'm not there yet but I do use it more frequently than I thought I would. The keyboard takes a bit getting used to and the mouse is huge, too.
After a few days with it too all i can say is that i love it. My Toshiba Qosmio X775-Q7272 gaming laptop is a monster of a thing to be handling so when i found out about the $20 deal i thought i would give it a shot. Its pretty sweet. Charges
he phone while using it (not that i have to worry about charge with Razr Maxx). Wireless mouse works perfectly and keyboard has no delay at all.
2 things i dont like: 1 The area to the right of where you plug your phone in gets really hot. Even after 10 minutes of use. I'm sure that will shorten the life of cables and conections in that area.
2.I cant get my maxx to sit well enough in the plug so it keeps disconnecting here and there. Seen as the maxx has to be standing up i didnt really expect it to work. So i'll keep am eye open for a good deal on small extension cables for it so it can be chilling on the table. Or i'll keep trying to think of a way to mount the phone on the dock.

Anybody interested in buying an Atrix lapdock that has been reconfigured for RAZR?
Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is allowed on the forum. I was selling my Atrix lapdock that I was using for RAZR MAXX on eBay, and got into a big mess with buyer and eBay (long story). Anyway, I don't trust eBay anymore so I'm looking to see if anybody is interested in buying it on XDA. If so, please PM me. I have a solid past eBay history and am willing to explain and arrange for a lower price than what was sold on eBay. Thanks in advance!

Im looking to score a mhl/hdmi adapter for my rezound to stream netflix/HBOgo/ HD movies I have on my SD card to my HDTV.
Anyone here have experience doing this? Hows the performance and video quality?
I've read that the phone has to power/run two displays(the Rezound's screen & the hdtv) so im thinking performance will likely suffer running HD movies as I've read threads on other forums saying that playing games/emulators on MHL are pretty much unplayable with pretty craptastic framerates.
Just want to verify before I go and spend some $$$ on a cable I'll possibly never use. Thanks.
Edit: Whoops thought I posted this in Q&A. Sorry mods. Please move if you can.
Hbogo is blocked on the mhl port for me. Also, the adaptor I got only charges at usb rates so keep that in mind when selecting one. I was in the middle of an nba game when it died. Scared me cuz I thought the phone died from getting too hot cuz it wouldn't t turn back on.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
You got it right, both screens are always on when running hdmi. Also, only sense 3.6 roms got mhl working for now.
As for the performance, no it ain't affected but battery is

Not all mhl models actually work. I use this one from amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006V7F380
along with this charging cable
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004GF8TIK
The phone can run a bit hot but it works.
I usually lower the rezound screen brightness in mx player, and also put the phone into airplane mode. both seem to keep the battery temperatures lower.
Thanks for the replies and tips.
So what im getting here is that battery still drains while running hdmi even though it is plugged in to a usb power source because it only charges at usb rates. I can live with that as I already slapped an Extended battery on my rezound and it lasts me all day easily with heavy usage and 4g.
Only thing that worries me is the phone getting hot. I've never really had problems with my rezound getting hot but i can see that running hdmi and the screen being on will put some stress on the battery. Not to mention i'll probably be streaming 4g and running hdmi at the same time!
I've got a 64gb Micro sd card coming in soon so i'll probably just take some movies with me instead of streaming if it becomes a problem.
I found this mhl adapter on Ebay for $7. Might just try that since i already have a micro usb and hdmi cord.

Congrats on getting a good one. I have seen in multiple threads of people having problems with some of the cheaper versions. Five bucks isn't much, but neither is 35 for an HTC 12 pin one that charges your phone at 1 amp while using it. To each there own. Getting a cheap one off the net, paying shipping, and then buying another one makes some people upset . I was just trying to present my experience. If I was looking into performance like this thread suggests, I would take the one that charges faster, and doesn't need a power supply even if it cost 30 dollars more. To each their own....

Now, I say BUYER BEWARE because I just bought this POS from Best Buy brand new in the box, and it works like complete crap. I don't want you to make the same mistake I did. I will be promptly returning this tomorrow.
The connection cable you plug into the phone's charger input from the Rocketfish is so shotty (and that's an understatement) it really only worked for 2 minutes after I held it with my thumb a certain way. (It's like holding a TV antenna the right way to get a picture to show up)
I'm giving this product 0 out of 5 stars. BUYER BEWARE! DON'T SUPPORT ROCKETFISH'S OVERPRICED GARBAGE!

Also, can anyone suggest a high quality one that will allow me to view everything that's on my phone on my HDTV? (Not one that only lets you play movies or look at pictures) - I mainly want to use this to play video games and surf the web.
Thanks in advance, zmag

Pretty sure you just got unlucky on that one, the MHL you are talking about is the exact one i used for my LTE...never had a single issue.. and if you didn't already know....thats not based on the cable... its based on if the rom you flashed supports that..
Thanks for the heads up I been looking for one I won't mess
with this
If you plan on moving the phone around at all... Arliberator,,, then don't buy this one.

anyone tried the onn mhl adaptor from walmart? I've used a couple of their products (a mouse and usb cord). I can't really say to much about the mouse since to me a mouse is a mouse. But I've used alot of different usb cords (I've flashed alot of phones) and theirs was really good. I'm wondering if it has the same quality?
What about trying the Samsung Galaxy S4 MHL/HDTV Adapter since it does not require a power source?
A buddy of mine gave me his RocketFish MHL adapter a while back cause he didn't need it any more; I use it with my HTC EVO 4G LTE all the time. Doesn't seem to have any issues, as far as I've seen.
Though MHL/HDMI hasn't worked for me since I flashed CM10.1 "cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-jewel-M2". Hopefully that'll be fixed soon, though.
No I got two from best buy within weeks n both messed up where the charger go so yes rocketfish is some bs

Samsung Galaxy Mega Docks Ebay
Hi
My question is whether Multimedia Smart Dock EDD-S20EWEGSTD will match Galaxy Mega GT-i9205 ?
Propably should work, it has the same 11-pin connector at Note 2, SGS 3 and SGS 4 .
This corresponded to what I can connect to the dock . I read on the net that works well with Note 8.0 , it would be for me to purchase a universal . Only new Galaxy Note 3 Others have looked like a connector USB 3 available in portable drives as if consisting of two parts . That him certainly will not be fit, but it would not buy a shame because the money for the stylus and the programs that and so I did not use . The size of the Mega scares me a little but I think about it more and more, and probably this week I'll go and get him to the store replaced by Note 8 which I forgave her daughter and well-worn SGS II.
Maybe someone tried to effect the Dock of the Galaxy Mega?
If so, please provide all the links, images and videos on the topic .
Ps.: Mega ordered in white reception on Tuesday.
I could not resist This mega cool phone that up dreaming up all night
Had only one item on display because that was no longer mine.
I can verify that the mega works fine with the note 2 smart dock. I watched some videos last night using it.I haven't tried the usb capabilities yet but I'm assuming they would work done.

Ive been testing these dock in Samsung's outlet with 2 old usb 2.0 HDDs (flash type ones), and EDD-S20EWEGSTD showed itself from a bad side at least with one of them, it couldnt supply enough power to feed it up. So as i remember, I was forced to coneect it using additional Y cable to dock and to another additional usb power port (from one another adapter) to make it finally working .... whatta ff*uck?! #1

i have the dock my self, first time i connected it didnt work(scared the hell out of me, cause i've readed something about different versions of the dock) but after i rebooted my phone it worked excelent. still using it.
specs are: 720p video output and the good thing about it is that its charging with 2a charger instead of being stocked with 500ma from an mhl cable.
when you connect wireless mouse/keyboard, the screen of the mega(i9205 i have) goes black and the screen output goes landscape.
people say audio jack doesnt work.. dont believe it thats BULLS**T. look at settings > accessory of youre phone and then check "Audio Output Mode" box to get audio from the jack.
if you have any further questions about information on the dock just pm me ill will get to ya as soon as possible
PS. i found the image on XDA Forums so pls dont blame me for using pictures or whatever, its just for helping purposes.
What about battery discharge rate during use of hdmi function? How is its max 720 p on a big screen? Im using a copy of et-10fau adapter mhl2.0 and it's output is 1080p 60fps. And battery discharge rate is close to 4-5% per hour...

i've got it from a second hand(used by someone else) but its already confirmed that its working.
you can also order on ebay(but be sure its the original samsung one with 11 pins)
EDD-S20 E WEGST D looks as quite obsolete because of its mhl. Its worth to find EDD-S20 J WEGST A. Comparing video output its 720 vs 1080p. And as it is later product = less risks with it.
So I've had to replace my charging cable twice. Both only lasted a matter of days then completely stopped working. Never went back to sprint for a 3rd. I put no stress on the port connections and was especially careful with the second one. Luckily the S4 style works. Anyway, I'm curious if this is just bad luck on my part or if there's an issue with this design. If there are enough affirmatives I'll post this on all the other Note 3 forums and get some kinda petition together to get Samsung to provide a free solution. A Google search seemed to indicate there might be an issue. Thanks for your participation and please, if yours works fine don't post on here. It's completely unnecessary.

I'd like to know too. I haven't used my Note 3 charging cable. I just use the tons of micro USB cable I have laying around.
I feel like only asking people to post if the charging cable doesn't work will not provide good data for your survey. If your numbers were to show that out of let's say a group of 100 note 3 users that only 20 have a problem with their cable it is most likely just bad luck. But if it showed 80 of that group had some sort of failure you would have a leg to stand on when trying to get Samsung to conduct some mass replacement. Good luck in your venture. I have a feeling more people have had no problems or it would have been heard about already. My cable works fine by the way and I have had it since the day the phone was released on sprint.

Just wanted base not working numbers for now before I make anything out of it. I'm at a loss why 2 would stop working in a matter of weeks. Thought it was the phone at first but all the micro USB work fine. It's not an issue since my computer doesn't have v3 usb connections but it's the principality of it. I should have went back to sprint but it's just a hassle to go through.

Want to add that it may be related to newer version of phone. No clue. I got mine in jan and it came with MJ4. Don't know that there are any differences besides firmwares. Like I said, just testing the waters.

I had the same problem. Went to sprint they gave me another but that one failed after awhile too. It wasn't putting out the right voltage it was only putting out like 300 when it's supposed to be 1200

So I've had to replace my charging cable twice. Both only lasted a matter of days then completely stopped working. Never went back to sprint for a 3rd. I put no stress on the port connections and was especially careful with the second one. Luckily the S4 style works. Anyway, I'm curious if this is just bad luck on my part or if there's an issue with this design. If there are enough affirmatives I'll post this on all the other Note 3 forums and get some kinda petition together to get Samsung to provide a free solution. A Google search seemed to indicate there might be an issue. Thanks for your participation and please, if yours works fine don't post on here. It's completely unnecessary.

I bought the external charger from a corporate sprint store. The cable that came with the phone soon started acting like the connections weren't secure with the charger. Even though it seemed solid on the phone, the charger, if moved slightly, the charger would post like the connection was interrupted. Lately, the power would cut out during a charge and the power light would turn off. This was after the charger was connected and not touched for hours. I finally used a regular microusb charger connected to either a lower output charger or a high output. Neither microusb charger acted like the original cable. I don't use the USB 3 cable to flash the phone because of its suspected flakiness. No issues so far. I, 80% of the time, use a microusb cable to charge the phone and or charger.
I had the exact same problem. I've been through 3 cables in 4 months. It's ridiculous in my opinion for such an expensive phone. It's my only complaint though. I have now got an external charger and so far so good. However it meant spending more just to charge my phone. Hopefully they make some changes on the next version.

My Note 3 I got just a week ago, was replaced just yesterday.. Why? The charging port was bad. Every time you plugged in the phone, it was real loose, and you could not get a decent charge, so BB replaced it.. Plus what I have noticed is my battery last longer.. When I first got the Note 3, I charged it up to 100 percent.. Half way through the day, it would need to be charged again. Most I got was about 8-9 hrs on battery.. Since I got my replacement (not refurbished) the plug does not move around, and so far on my current charge since taken it off at 7 am I have gone over 14 hrs and still at 60 percent.. If people are having a issue, Take your phone to a Samsung center if one is around you, they will fix it for free..
Bought me and my girlfriend Note 3 and had to take her's back because of the charging cord but they gave her a new phone also. Not to long after my charging cord started to act up. Paying all this money for a phone there is no way so many people should be having issues with the charging

Mine works fine on the phone, no flakiness, but very bad on the external charger.
The charger connection has a little play in the cord and it seems like it only charge when the phone is off. And when it finally do charge the battery discharge very fast. What you guys think I should do
We bought Notes for my wife an I around October. She had a cable go bad on her but I switched to a USB 2 cable and haven't had any other issues....
So 1/2 cables in our house are good.
My cable stopped working after a month too for no reason, thought it was the phone at first until I tried another cable, my friends dad had an extra note 3 cable and thats been working fine since around January
