The stock cord is too short. Hope someone can help me find a longer one. Thanks!
You may wanna look at these.. I bought 1 already..
Check out this item I found on eBay: http(colon)(//)pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=301034354440

I wonder if one exists with the micro usb end the other way up so it trails off to the left rather than the right.

Just use a USB extension cable. You probably can get a fairly inexpensive one from a local store.

Hello everybody,
im searching for a "normal" hdmi-cable for the 30-pin connector. i dont wanna have a dock or something.
does anybody know were i can find such cable?!
I have send the DOCK sample to the manufacturer, to make a 30pin--HDMI cable out.
But need sometimes. About 15days later.
XJARL,
Are you sure a cable is possible? Others have suggested that the port needs power and other circuitry (as in the dock) to make the HDMI functional.
Also, I thought that you mentioned you were having it made a month or so ago? What is the delay?
That would be great if there was just an HDMI cable that plugs into the bottom port. too bad they didnt make a HDMI port on the side before. I wont use it enough to get a dock, but if I had just a cheaper cable that would work I would be more inclined to use it. the screen is big enough to where im happy with the media and any movies that I really want to download and watch I will already have on my laptop which has HDMI out for a big screen.
Yes, i'm sure

I had given the DOCK to a factory. They spend a lot of time. Since they are not sure whether there is sufficient market, so delayed. But now, they decided to put it produced.

I went to 4 Shacks and everyone said there was nothing made for this port. Commercially that is.
I think I would find a cable more useful than a dock. As mentioned above, though, they will have to find a way to deal with the power issue. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see how it goes.
A cable would be nice for sure
Xjarl - any word on this cable? I am sure we could build up some support here if needed
They just sold Over 10,000 of the Gtablets on Woot the other day. There were several posts directing people to this site as well as discussing the preference of a simple cable VS a dock.
I would hope the market would bear enough to get a run in at this point.
Didn't early reviews of the gtab often say Viewsonic was bunding an hdmi cable in the box?

Yeah, bnovak in this thread is talking about de-constructing one and analyzing the circuitry to figure out the pin schematic so a cable could possibly be created:

technically, I've found the right cable.
but I need to order 1000 of them.
Ordered a sample to make sure it is what it needs to be.
HDMI DOES NOT NEED TO BE POWERED!!! It's LVDS
How much to order 1000?

Now you tell me...
I just ordered the dock yesterday so I could use the HDMI.
Oh well...guess I need two cables.
My wife is going to wonder when my $285 Tab I talked her into letting me get for my birthday is going to stop costing money.

What cables can I use to plug a normal USB flash drive into my phone? I can't find a female to female USB to use with my photon USB cable. am I overlooking the obvious or is it not possible?

I dont think it's possible. A computer reads the phone when it's plugged in but the phone doesnt read the computer so I dont see it reading a flash drive either.
Ive seen that you supposedly can, and would like to give it a shot. Here is an app that supposedly will, im just struggling with the physical aspect of plugging one into my photon..
I found one at Radio Shack.

Thats a mini USB, not a micro. And all that i find that are indeed micro USB upon reading reviews appear to not be USB Host OTG cables. Can anyone confirm or deny if this will work for what im trying to do..? I *think* it will but want to confirm before ordering. thanks!

Gonna need to splice in a 5v power source as the Photon doesn't supply power.

Is this the case for external hdd powered by USB only? Or just normal USB flash drives also?
Most OTG capable devices (again I don't think the Photon is one) only supply about 100mA. This is barely enough to power flashdrives. Only low power flashdrives work, beyond that most usb devices that are powered by usb only will not even turn on.
In short if your usb device powers up and works using only an OTG cable, consider yourself lucky.
For those who are looking for the Motorola Rapid Charger locally, I ran into a guy at Best Buy who was the regional manager for the mobile department. He too has a Note. I explained the issues I'm having and what we all came up with as a resolution. Funny his he already had that Motorola Rapid charger.
Anyways, he pointed out the car dock kit
For the Droid X and X2. It comes with the very same charger we all are looking for. Here's the bonus: it was originally 49.99 but on clearance for 24.99. Not as good as ebay for 7.59 but I figured I had a 50 gift card after I took all those other chargers and cables back. So I bought the kit!
Here's the REAL bonus: not only does it have all the stuff for a car dock (although its for a Droid), but when.I got to the register, it rang up for 9.99!
I bought all 3 they had in stock.... ;-)
Check your local BB for availability if you don't want to wait for it to ship from ebay or amazon.
Sadly though, I'm still not charging while in use... :-(

What issue were you having with the note? And do you mind posting a picture or link to the rapid charger you bought? I tried searching for it on Google but came up with a few different style chargers and am unsure which one your talking about. Thanks!
Can you provide a link, SKU, UPC, something we can search or reference?
Sounds like quite a deal
Thanks.
Here's a link to it on amazon. I couldnt find it on best buy. Im sure you'll need to locate it in the store.

I purchased the Kensington dual port charger for iPad/iPhone from CompUsa. It has 2.1 amp and 1.0 amp ports. I used it in my 2008 Honda Civic Si and my car electrical started acting possessed. My power doors were locking/unlocking; alarm system wouldn't always work; drained battery needing me to jump start. Had left charger in lighter port w/o anything attached. Don't know if it was defective but car has returned to normal after I got rid of it might try another

Imo just modify a USB cable as another post outlined.. Short the middle two data pins or splice the cable and short them then use a regular car charger with a USB port and the modified cable. Works for me

I got my GS3 and was rather pleased until I went to root it--I realized the charger that I received with it was not the stock charger that comes with most phones. I can't connect it to my computer to drag stuff onto the SD card, etc (like the Rezound charging cable allowed). Could I find one of these cables at Walmart? If so, what would it be called?

I'm pretty sure their micro usb cables. And yes, you could probably find them at walmart, but you can also get them online cheap at amazon or ebay.

Just make sure it is a "data" charging cable. You can also just buy a charging cable which won't access your phone data.
I definitely need it to access my data. I can't root my phone other wise. Thanks everyone

Yeap it's definitely Micro USB, the plug is multifunction and shaped like the HDMI/USB cable but it's also regular micro USB friendly, just use quality cables to keep from wearing out the input over time.
I recently bought a s3 to repair and resell.
The phone has 2issues
Broken digitizer
The usb port doesn't charge or is recognized by the pc.
Does anyone know how i replace the micro usb port?
What i know:
it's not connected via flex cable, is soldered to the board. so will need soldering
To replace i need a hot air blower, my soldering gun has that function.
Please tell me more

Dear Glebun and other users,
I'm thinking of replacing the Micro USB port on my black GT-i9300. I've had charging issues some time now. First I had to some ' tricks' examples: Turning off, getting it to charge then turn on. Repeatedly jack the cable in and out. Rebooting and what not.
However now it wont charge at all. When plugged in to the wall socket it just stays at the level it is (when not using and screen off) when plugged in and using it the battery drains. Also my laptop won't reconize the device. (also won't charge when pluggen in the laptop).
I got this phone from my brother who has installed Cyanogenmod on it.
Now what kind of equipement do I need exactly? And do I need to work with some anti-static armband?
I am more interested in how you plan to fix the digitizer and make money on it?
