So you mean what was damaged?:
1. USB Cable
2. USB Charger (to put usb in)
3. USB Port in DHD
?
Thx!
He is talking about the port in your dhd, just try to clean and it should be gone.

Hello all I am having trouble playing my music and charging my phone inside of my car. When I connect my phone to the
Usb port I get a connection error. My Usb port does work because I use other devices on it. I have a 2009 Hyundai sonata if that helps. Anyone have this issue also?

I have the same problem. The problem is that they took out the option to connect as a mass storage device in ICS. The easiest way to connect your phone to your deck is with a 3.5mm aux cable. I got one on EBay for about $1 with free shipping. But you can still charge your phone off the USB port on your deck. I'm sure someone has figured out how to add the mass storage device option back on your phone, but when you can get an aux cable for a dollar I say the less ****ing with my phone I have to do the better.

Thanks. For input. But another reason I want my Usb port to work correctly is because I have a touch screen dash and I like when the songs come up on the screen : p I have been using the 3.5mm for now

Hi guys
I bought a charger (Sony/Ericsson) for my car that has given some trouble. For some reason my Galaxy Nexus switches off when I try to charge it using my new car charger. The same happens if I use the same cable from my laptop.
A colleague can use the cable to charge but his phone (Galaxy S II) is no longer recognized by his PC (his own cable works fine). I can charge using his cable without any problems.
Another colleague started talking about different cable versions... but really... it doesn't make sense to me.
I have had the same problem with the original cable that came with the charger and with a new cable I bought as I assumed the original one was broken.
Does anyone here have any specific usb/micro usb knowledge and can tell me if there's anything special I should look for when getting a(nother) new car charger/cable?
Thanks in advance

I know one can short a USB port and cause a computer to reboot on the spot as if it lost power. It's done by inserting like a key so that the key connects the 5v + and ground contacts within a USB port. Maybe that's what's going on here- the way the cable is made, the micro USB part makes contact with all the pins, but also inadvertently connects the two for power?

I tried taking my normal PC cable to the car and it worked like a charm. So I guess I must have gotten hold of two (!) flawed cables... what's the odds?
Thanks
Hello everyone,
This is my 2nd note II. My first device had a few problems and now this one seems to have a loose charger port. Also, when I connect this device to my tv via microusb, the tv screen flickers (could be an indicator of a faulty micro usb port). Has anyone had the problem of their charger wire falling out of the microusb port? What did you do to fix it? If you sent it to samsung did they return the device in working condition without any dings or scratches?
Thanks im adv

Mine was perfect for the first few weeks, but eventually got a bit loose so I replaced the USB cable which did the trick. Ive heard of other cases where the usb ports became loose, but not to the point of it falling off on its own.
Have you tried other USB cables on your phone?

hey i did try the usb wire that came with my samsung media dock... its a bit more snug, but it came off randomly after a while. my samsung otg usb cable fits great... the thing that concerns me is that sometimes when i connect my device to my media dock (uses the microusb port) which connects my phone to my tv, the screen on the tv flickers. this could be an indication of a faulty microusb port... but heres the confusing thing, ive tried transferring files to and from my computer via microusb and it works fine, so that would be an indication of a working usb port.
from what you have heard or read, was the consensus a problem with the usb port or the wire?
thanks
Yes, the wire was the culprit based on my reading.
Better have your phone checked. Im sure it's well within Samsung's warranty period
Ironically the best cable i use is a blackberry one, excellent secure fit

What options do I have if I want to fix my HDMI input and my blown speaker on the EVO 4g? Appreciate the help!
bump anyone?

Whenever I go to plug it in it constantly goes off and on...Im guessing something is jacked with the port bc whenever I have the phone at a certain angle it works but then once I move the phone bam it stops working and the output to TV goes black...It cant be anything with the HDMI cable bc Ive tried three, & all three work on my XBOX360...Trying to find a tutorial for the HDMI port. The speaker looks pretty easy to swap out.

so the HDMI port is a little jacked up? also i managed to get my speaker working without a replacement, all you need is a needle, and it should work, i could post a video if you like, and if it doesnt work yyou can just go ahead and by another.
If you can post a video on how to fix it with the needle that would be great. I ordered one any ways they are cheap.

Is there anyway to get a video to fix the HDMI port?

It doesn't work. Thought installing a new hdmi port could fix it to like new condition. Also, I thought the method to fix the speaker is by using a magnet? Your video talks about using a pin?

I used my method, and it worked fine. You can try it if you like. Also, does the little HDMI logo pop-up on the notification bar, sometimes I have problems getting it to work also, a reboot helps, go into your settings and make sure it's on automatic. And make sure whatever you're plugging it into is searching for signal

At times it works but the cord has to be angled a certain way. If you dont have it setup exactly at the right angle you lose signal....The only way I can get it to work is by holding the phone & HDMI cord a certain way...I know it has something to do with the port bc Ive tried the HDMI cord on an XBOX and it works fine...I just got the HDMI port in the mail today but I dont have any video on how to remove & install a new one.

I was thinking it was the cord but. The hdmi should be the same way as removing the charger port. You'll need to open the phone and solder very carefully. I recommend taking this to a phone store, make sure it's not a retail store like Verizon it something, like a cheap repair place. Tell them you have the part and they will only charge labor, ask how much the labor costs, mine cost$10. That's the only way I know how to fix that hdmi port

Well are there any other tests I can do to figure out if its the HDMI port or cord? I always thought it was the port bc even my charger port is somewhat loose & if I dont angle a cord correctly it wont charge my phone..

maybe trying another cord? if its doing it on BOTH charger port and hdmi then thats just wierd.. but try another cord and if the same problem maybe both ports got loose, it happens.
Ok I got the HDMI to work it was the HDMI cord that was causing the problem. I used a MOTORola HDMI cord & it worked perfectly! But now I was getting slow downs with my ROM & decided to wipe it to get rid of unneeded apps and data. Well now when I go use the HDMI app it doesnt work!! It says cable undetected but it obviously shows on the tv that its getting a signal...wthhh!?
