Hello,
My Note II works fine with earbuds but yesterday I tried for the first time to use a cable to connect to the AUX In on my car and it starts working but then gives a "Headphones disconnected" message and the music stops. It does this seemingly at random anywhere from almost immediately to about 30 seconds after plugging it in. This is the same high quality Belkin cable with gold ends I've used many times in the past without issue with my previous phone so I doubt it is the cable. The cable seems to seat firmly with no wiggle or slop when plugged in. I also tried removing the case to see if maybe that was preventing the plug from inserting fully but no difference. I also tried pushing it in and out multiple times to see if anything (lint possibly) was lodged in the plug but that had no effect. I thought the connector in the phone had gone bad but then connected my earbuds again and they work perfectly.
Anyone have any ideas?
Try plugging in a different device and while it's playing, wiggle the device and cable around. If you hear a crackling our popping, the cable might have a tiny break it. That would cause something like you're describing happen.

Hey everyone,
I'm having problems when connecting the thunderbolt to my Sony usb stereo. It asks me what I want to do and I choose charge only but it doesn't charge.
I use to have the Droid X and it worked fine on the stereo.
Anyone having the same problem?
Any hints or tips for this?

Your deck usb port might not provide enough power for the thunderbolt...but might have for the droid x. The usb addon for my pioneer never worked for charging when I had it installed. Just read flash dives, but that's just my two cents on the problem...could be something else.

I know some devices (like my Motorola dumb phone) will not charge over generic USB power (power and ground only), but if you use a USB "Data blocker" (grounded data pins) some of them will charge. This may be the same way... or it could be the whole requires more than just 5V to initiate charge without detecting data (meaning a PC connection).
You could try placing some MP3s on your SD card and tell your radio to "play" the usb drive and set the phone to automatically mount as a drive. That may do it, if not, look into the grounded out USB cable.
I just installed a lighter receptacle behind the stereo and ran up a car charger (not a usb charger) through the back of the dash to the car dock.
I was able to get the phone to charge via the USB port on my kenwood deck, but it was USB power, and discharged faster than it could charge.
It now reports charging AC, and charges normally. Cost $6 at radio shack.
I just tapped into the positive and negative wires that were already going to the original 12v lighter.
I'm actually having a reverse problem. My phone charges in my car stereo's USB slot, but the receiver doesn't recognize it as a USB drive. The phone doesn't even notice there's a USB connection, even though it's charging.
Oh well. It has AUX too so, no problem really.

I have the same problem, but I suspect that's because of that stupid "Verizon Mobile" virtual CD on the phone. I bet that's what your deck sees and can't find any music.
If anyone knows how to get rid of that partition without rooting the phone, I'd like to know.
In my case I have to use the Bluetooth connection. That works, but it doesn't give me the song information on the deck. Might have to revert to an old iPod for our music in the car.

With my old Incredible, my car stereo acted differently. It would see the phone and the phone would ask me to go into disk mode. After a few moments of scanning, the receiver would say "Invalid Media". I was also on CM7 for a little and I was actually able to get the receiver to play music thought it.
It's a Pioneer DVD player.. Unfortunately with the Thunderbolt, it doesn't do any of the abolve. It just says "No Device" and the phone doesn't even do anything except charge. Doesn't ask me to mount.
Okay I found a solution. I believe the problem was the Verizon crap that ran when plugged in. I installed The Perfect Storm Rom and now its charging fine.

Has anyone else experienced bad audio distortion while using the car dock? I noticed that when I unplug the charging cord it sounds fine...
I have not experienced this, maybe a bad ground on your charging port?
sent straight from my brain....
is there any way to correct that?
add another ground. I would try another car adaptor first though or your set up in another car. That will help narrow it down to the car or the set up.
Another thing to note is it might be dirty power. The way i hooked up the radio in the saab i have a constant humm (raised ground floor) due to a small fan that always runs on the same circuit i pulled either accessory power or the switched light feed. Hence why I am saying to try it in another car.

Are you using the USB charger that came with the dock?
At first I just used my own USB charger I all ready had in the car and got audio distortion ...
I switch to the one Motorola included with the car dock and audio was clear as a bell
Have any of you guys found the neck to be a bit short for windshield mounting? I was thinking of getting this one to replace an old bracketron bracket I have but I doing know if the neck is long enough to see and manipulate the screen properly.
I am going to try a ground loop isolator to see if that makes a difference!
I'm having an issue with the car dock and audio when a song first starts off. When the audio starts I hear a popping sound. It does it when I first open the stock music player or anytime a new song starts with Slacker radio. It also does it when I first open tune in radio or when it restarts music after losing a connection (buffering). It seems to only do it when I plug into the adaptor which attaches to the mini USB plug. If I plug it directly into the phone through the headphone jack, it plays fine without any popping sound. Is this a common problem, or do I have a bum car dock? If some others can try their docks out, this would be great so I know if it is a common issue or not. It seems to be more pronounced at high volumes.
I'm not having any distortion but mine won't charge. I thought that it might be the cord but it will charge my wife's EVO, so I then took the cord into the house and used a wall plug and tried to see if it would charge that way. No luck.
It seems to charge using everything else but that cord even though that same cord WILL charge other phones????
I'm going to return it and get a different one but was wondering if anyone has had this issue at all?
Just weird...
Update...
If I use another USB it will charge and all but not go into dock mode. I still don't understand why it would charge other phone models but not the MoPho itself...
Yeah if you unplug the usb cord from the dock it def. wont charge the MoPho. My girl tried to charge her droid 2 on it too and it wont work. I assume it was designed that way.. motorola.. go figure

It's not charging it either way, whether its plugged into the dock or just having the cable plugged directly into the MoPho but it will charge the wife's 3VO plugging the cord directly into hers.

Are you in a Honda by chance? Honda's are infamous for this... anything that's connected to both a 12V output and an audio line in is going to have feedback unless you do some hacking. This is based on experience with 4 vehicles and probably a dozen car chargers, 5-6 phones, mp3 adapators, ipods, 2-3 car decks, etc. over the years (and confirmed by others). The only luck I've had mitigating it was to use a ground loop isolator (at least, I think that's what I used - writing from memory) on the car stereo power feed itself. I tried a ground noise filter on the audio line once and that helped very little.
You'll have the same problem if you try an FM modulator, but not if you use bluetooth audio, so that's what I do now.
Not having any problems with sound or charge but Nav went wonky today.

I have had the car dock for about 3 weeks - in Mercedes - it is working fine, charging OK sound OK, I have it set up so the bottom of the base rests on the dash - works well.
So they can work -
Any one have suggestions for a protective case that will work with car dock? I want my phone to slide into car dock and table top dock without having to take case off.
i'd love an answer to this too!

I updated in the other main Seidio cases thread ... with some minor tweaking the Surface case definitely fits the car dock (can't confirm the other dock yet until I pick one up this week).
I have an Otterbox Commuter that works fine with a small modification. Remove the small plastic bridge over the ports and it fits the dock nicely.
Well my HDMI was working fine. But since few days it does not anymore. Funny thing is I haven't installed any new firmware since I started using HDMI (there was no new firmware for me in Poland)
Now HDMI looks dead. Prime do not see HDMI cable when plugged in.
Did anyone of you have similar situation?
from my experience so far with the HDMI on the Prime is that sometimes it doesn't detect that you plugged it in at times, so yo have to keep unplugging it and replugging until you see the notice at the bottom that an HDMI cable has been inserted.

This ^^^
I also have to be sure to pause Music or start my game before I plug it in, or it won't work quite right.
I've been chopping this up to the $5 20ft cable, but I guess not...
I've also had this problem. I've tried plugging it in multiple times and it no longer detects my HDMI cable. I've tried turning the prime on and off, switching tv's but no dice. I might try to get a new cable to see if that's the problem and go from there.
also try just half plugging it in. If it's plugged in too far it doesn't work.
I took my Nexus 10 to work and decided to plug it in to power using the provided cable. Fired up Play Music to listen to my cloud music. I heard this background static with the earbuds all the time. On a hunch, I unplugged the power and the static went away. The mini USB and headset plug are located really close to each other on the Nexus 10.
Anyone else noticed this?
yep happens for me too that's really annoing...

There have been several threads about this, it is a known issue, even Google will tell you so ..
It is either one of two things, bad ground isolation in the device or band ground isolation in the charger ... I don't seem to get it when it is plugged into my PC charging ..
At some point I am going to test with a third party charger ...
Is this in "all" audio while plugged into AC? If so, I don't have that at all.
Tonight when I went to charge my G Watch it started vibrating every second as if to indicate some kind of error. The charging icon would flash and disappear, and just keep doing this. I tried restarting it and resetting to factory defaults with no improvement. Is this some kind of known hardware error behavior?
bad contact on charger or bad sector adaptater for usb charger ?
Looks like it's just an issue with charging view a powered USB hub. I have the charger connected to a USB hub instead of a power outlet and so far this has worked fine, but now the watch enters a vibration loop when the hub is online. Interestingly enough, when I turn off my PC (but leave the HUB on) the watch charges fine. It's only when they're both on together that the watch starts freaking out. Oh well I normally charge with PC off anyway.
Mine does this too and it's pretty annoying
Mine did this than I switched to a different cord and it was normal
I've got the same problem going on, I've tried different cradles, different cables, different wall plugs, USB to a computer, USB through a hub.... This just happens ALL the time for me. To the point where it starts to crash the watch skins which lock up the watch.
The reason is that the contacts on the watch get dirty during the day and when it is on the cradle there is a false contact.
The most easy solution is to scratch the metal contacts with a pencil everytime before put it on the cradle. This will clean the contacts and the graphite is conductive. Since then there is always a pencil next to the cradle.
