lol yea it is a robbery... but ive seen that one cheaper at ebay, im looking for the one that comes with the phone... you know, the one that has a squared box around the micro and has a white "usb" icon.... my dog chewed mine so id just like to replace it and keep an original
Good luck with that cable my friend. I don't think you'll ever be able to get one unless you've got a friend in a cell store that will do a B & E for ya on a new box. BTW, if you ever do find one, never use it to ROOT or transfer data. I use it strickly as a charging cable.
Sorry!
lol theres gotta be an online store where i can buy it, i mean i know i can buy any other usb cable but i want one like the one that it came with... and why do you say that? thats the cable i used to do everything to my phone!
Read the forum about rooting your phone, almost everyone who knows anything about rooting will advise you not to use the stock Samsung cable.
Do as you please, its your phone my friend. Just saying.....
It seems a little thin, but I've used the OEM Samsung cable that came with the phone to flash many hundreds of times during testing of ODIN tar packages and Auto Root features. Never had an issue.
I get the picture my friend, you've been lucky from what I have heard but if its not broken, don't fix it. Good Luck in your search and give the dog some food, maybe he won't eat your phone next. jking........

jaja i do, shes just hyper active, and thanks... i just ordered a gold plated 15 ft one but im still searching for the oem... just so i can have it
Well if you give up monoprice.com might be a good place to not get robbed for a cable. I mean paying 5 bucks for Amazon's much longer, much stronger cable is a rip as well but thats the main one I use I also use the OEM one I just cant find it half the time.
I bought HTC OEM USB cables off of ebay for $0.99 each, and they are really good quality. Came from china, and took two weeks, and but worth the wait.

I think I mite got a bad charging port. Is there a way to fix it or is it time to upgrade?
Is it just when your charging your phone or is it every time you plug your USB cable in? Have you tired different cables? i thought that same thing too and it turned out to be a bad cable.

My wife and I have had our E4GT for eight months now without any issues. I've had several other Samsung phones in my many years and never had any build issues.
Lol I even ran over my wife's phone once! Other than a few scratches there were still no issues.

I'd try a new cord first. If that doesn't work go ahead and upgrade but send me your E4GT.
I've tried everything. I guess i can try to buy a new charger to make sure, before i jump ship

Have you tried the USB cable to the PC and see if that works. If you have bought a off market charger or so, then there can be issues. Try a blackberry USB cable if you have it and see if that works. Those cables are pretty good.

Worst case scenario: Port is shot and gets no charge whatsoever = call for insurance replacement.
The port is integrated to the mainboard inside so there is no "fixing" just the port, even local cellphone repair shops won't touch it. If your phone is insured they should replace it. When I WAS with T-Mobile they replaced mine free no questions asked b/c it had been in a flood. Phone was still 99% functional other than the fact it could not charge b/c the port was shocked out. Hope this info helps

Had the same thing happen to me a couple of months ago. Took it to Sprint and had a tech look at it. Got it replaced the next day.

No fixing it? If the port was just over stressed you can pretty easily solder any broken pins back on... if the port is completely shot its not that that hard to lift the broken one and replace it with a scavanged micro USB port... I just replaced a busted HDMI port on an Xbox, same principal....

My Inc. USB port came completely off and i lost it. Can someone please link me to a replacement part and tell me ow to re-solder it to the board? I've done countless Google searches and nothing has come up for the incredible. Thanks.
You mean something like this?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-Droid-I...090?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35bad9ea0a
I had a friend's Dinc here not too long ago with a busted port, but I pretty quickly came to the conclusion that replacing it is far beyond my limited soldering abilities. So I can't help you there.
Also, be careful not to get a port for the Dinc2, they are on their own little board and would be much easier to replace. On our OG Dincs' though, the connector is soldered right on the main board. Replacing that is not for the faint of heart (or the shaky of hands).
Radio shack sells a universal battery charger(I wanted to buy it locally and not have to wait days for shipping with no backup phone). I've been using one for months since my USB port is broken. I tried to resolder the piece back on but I'm really rusty at soldering and I didn't want to further damage the board and risk having to get a new phone $40 vs cost of a new phone. The universal charger works fine. Obvious down side is the phone is unusable when charging. Having no data cable is no big deal there are plenty of other ways to move sh!t about.

That WAS my original plan. I tried to order 2 extended batteries 1800mah + wall charger from htcexpress.com. Needless to say I got jerked in the whole process. 2 weeks went by I was charged for an item that never shipped. I called/email got no response. I had to open up a claim with Bank of America to get my money back. I said fu¢k it after that and settled for the universal charger I was already so freakin pissed. To make it worse the lady at radio shack kept dissin my phone.
I'm also back on your rom. Random side note. Pre 2am nonsense.

I thought about buying an external charger for the Dinc with broken USB port I had in here, and I could have done that, but... the guy didn't really care about the phone, he had a bunch of pictures on it he wanted to recover. Apparently, when his phone quit charging, he was on the road, took it to a Verizon store (thinking a new battery or a new charger would fix it), and the lady there formatted his /emmc while trying to fix a battery charging issue??? Needless to say he was not happy. I was gonna try running some data recovery stuff on it to see what we could salvage, but without a working USB port we were out of luck. He was actually thinking about paying somebody to repair the thing in hopes we could save some of the pictures, but he must have decided against it as he hasn't mentioned it lately. I guess he got a painful lesson in the importance of backups...
has anyone experienced this before? my phone would not charge, so i figured it was something faulty with the USB port. tried using different cables and chargers, and only my nook charger worked.. so i decided to send the phone into samsung for repair. after almost 3 weeks later i get the phone back.
no water damage, but i did buy the phone second hand.
on the invoice it said:
description: your phone is beyond repair.
fail description: gross electromech damage-abused
i contacted samsung and they said "I would like to inform you that the charger pad that gets connected to the USB cable of the charger has been lifted."
they told me it would cost more than the phone is worth to repair the i/f connector?
what sucks is that now the phone is unusable. if i had not sent it in to samsung, and continued using my nook cable.. my phone wouldn't be caput.

While I've never had this problem, why didn't you just buy another nook charger instead if that's what worked? I hate the Samsung charger, the one from my old Pantech Crossover is much more robust and sturdy then the Samsung POS.
What I'm curious about is why they removed anything if they sent you the phone back, that doesn't make sense.

because i figured this much: i had 3 months left on the warranty, and if the phone should continue to devolve into the point where it's no longer charging under any circumstance.. i might be out of the warranty period by then.
they said they opened the phone and found that some board (maybe the i/f, whatever that means) was lifted.. which may be the case, since i bought the phone secondhand. the guy i bought it from didn't seem like the type to open the phone, but who knows.
just spoke with them on phone: they said the i/f board was removed. does anyone know if this is user replaceable?

so i took it to a local store for repair, which will cost me $55. well worth it.
as it turns out, the guy who is repairing my phone asked me if i opened the phone before - because it seems like the USB port was removed.
so samsung's not at fault here, and they did the right thing in voiding my warranty. the true **** here is the guy who sold me the phone, telling me he had no problems and knowing that the phone was about to go caput.
i guess this should be used as a reminder that if you buy the phone 2nd hand, especially through craigslist, you should be aware of things like this.

i don't think the guy who fixed my phone did anything wrong, the phone is probably fubar like that.
i bought myself a qi charger ($25 for pad + charger). i guess it'll have to hold for the next 18 months.
more than likely, the phone was bought originally as a refurbished phone. while they do have a warranty, the refurb company usually opens the phone up and attached their sticker or whatever so that when it is brought in for warranty repairs or anything, they can see that it is a refurb phone and deny it.
Does anyone know if when I go to exchange my Note7, can I just keep my original charger and USB-C cable and also get new ones with the new phone?
I assume some people legitimately do not know where their box and in-box accessories are anymore, even after only a week.
But I'm not sure if the replacements will have all of the accessories in the box, or just the phone.
Any ideas?

Um I would almost have to say you should be able to keep your old ones but I've been told that you need to bring everything back and you get a brand new box. I don't see why they can't keep the accessories in the new box and just give you the phone.

I was thinking the same thing. It would be nice to have an extra charger, but I'm not going to be a pain in the rear about it. Those folks are on the business end of a bad situation. I guess I'm too nice. [emoji4]

Do I need to contact Verizon about the exchange program or can I just take my phone and accessories in when the fixed version comes out?
Someone said that if you don't turn in the accessories, Verizon won't waive the restocking fee. I've read the restocking fee is $35. I think that's a fair price to pay for the official Samsung fast charger, USB-C cable, and USB adapters.

when you return your device you only need the phone its self. if it is cracked or damaged we will accept it as well.
Anybody know if Verizon take exchanges of devices bought at Best Buy? I legitimately don't know where the wall plug or USB cable went, as I just moved, but I found the box and it has the extra tips and USB C adaptors in it.
Probably be better to just get it exchanged at Best Buy.

returns are location specific. but if you do exchange you can leave the usb and wall outlet with the best buy associates im sure they would do the exchange that way since they all come with them. you really only need the box in most cases but I know that we are taking even damaged devices at this point because of the huge PR issue samsung is getting hit on

I don't know where the USB cable and charger brick are. I DO have the box. Best Buy has also stated they will take back devices with cracked screens.
I just got back from Verizon.
I brought only the phone to Verizon attempting to return it, and they wouldn't take it without the box and all the accessories. I told them I don't have the box anymore and they said I still need to accessories.
I didn't get the option to return and still pay the restocking fee. Which in my opinion is bull crap because it's not my fault I was sold a faulty device.
I can see them requiring the box since it has the tag that matches the phones S/N and ICCID. They're probably going to replace the batteries and use these for refurbished. I don't see why they couldn't just take the accessories from the new box and transfer them to the old box for the exchange unless they're just trying to make it difficult.
I can get the charger and wire together but that little adapter is long gone. I haven't checked in with verizon yet but I sure hope they don't give me grief over this.
How can I tell a corporate store vs a 3rd party store?

Incorrect you must return all accessories with the phone as per Verizon.
I will be returning my n7 tomorrow. I don't "have" any of the accessories except the box and paperwork. That is the main reason for the return, I use a 3rd party charger. And somehow the frigging s-pen disappeared. ????.
I will fight my hardest not to pay a restocking fee. Will return with info tomorrow.

Maybe with the government getting involved, they'll have to take the device back in any condition now, regardless of what's returned with it.
Refurbs don't go out in a retail box with retail accessories anyway.
