That may be the case, but Google can't find anything, nor can the XDA search. I too would like to have something like the webtop for my EVO. The only way I found this page was the auto search when I was about to post another thread!
On a related note, are there any micro HDMI extension cables? I think it would be awesome to use the dock or laptop dock with my EVO. I think it's pretty funny that Motorola went with a 180 degree micro HDMI connector compared to the HTC connectors.

Great...go ahead and show him what a bunch of pricks we are here...seriously...its like you people get off by talking **** behind a screen...
Lots of people (including me) buy used phones because they are not up for an upgrade and dont want to pay the ridiculous full price...I fail to see WTF is wrong with that...I do agree that u should make sure its fully funtional before buying it but that aint the way of telling them that
....sorry....it just pisses me off seeing that every new person looking for help here gets talked **** to by the 3rd post.

it should still be under manufacturer's warranty and maybe t-mobile's if it somehow transferred.. sometimes it doesn't.

Lol at the ppl talking smack... maybe he knew USB port was non functional?, and got a great deal knowing he could fix it.

haha thanks everyone and no they didnt offend me at all cause im not a noob but im also not a developer, i just cant get my phone into download mode because of the usb port malfunction i actually didnt know it was bad at the the time only because it still charged and what not but i traded an HD2 for it and was done messing with it, i wanted something new and its going to be new to me also installing this usb port haha so wish me luck i also bought one of those usb jigs off ebay to hopefully get me into download mode, everytime i use my cable it goes straight into stock recovery if it wasnt for that i would be flashing away! ive tried everything getting it into DL mode, also ive tried getting it warrantied but tmboile says ive had too many exchanges ha so im SOL on that one, i had the g2x before the hd2 and suppovsevly according to them its my fault they kept sending me POS phones esp since the g2x has been EOLed i mean cmon. they knew that phone had nothing but problems why still send it to people

also if i could like your reply i would cause thats pretty funny, everyone should know face unlock comes with ics especially if you flashing roms and stuff also hes a senior member and is asking about faceunlock on ics? hmm

No problem, also welcome to the community. Hope you are able to fix that usb.
One last thing though, now don't quote me on this, but I remember reading that using the usb cord from a g2x or I think any lg phone would get you into download mode. Not exactly sure how it worked, but I think you turned off the phone, connected the usb to the phone, then to the computer. And then power on the phone and it would take you to dl mode. Not 100% sure but you might want to look into that

LOL!
To the OP, best of luck and let us know how it goes. There are DIY tutorials a well for usb port repairs.
And as for buying used phones, we must be careful. But otherwise, I say go for it. My SGS2 was purchased used via Craigslist and it's been running great with zero problems. I suggest everyone considering a used purchase visit the xda forum associated with the phone and see what kinds of problems/defects have been common with the phone so you will know what things to look for when you make the buy.

So I go to a repair center and here's what went down

I called today and made an appointment to see a sprint technician I go in and the manager stops me at the door and says can I help you with anything now any rooting veteran kn rows when u go into a repair center to play dumb so I said hum I have an appointment and he's like okay well come here and I'll look at the phone. That right there got me worried because and untrained cashier jockey was about to take a look at my phones sub port. The first mistake he made as I watched him carefully was he jammed his fingernail in the sub port and pryed the back cover off backwards and forcefully and almost throws my phone across the room. I wanted to say something but I did not want to spark him as he seemed to have attitude as it is. Well he outs a sub cable in ( first upsidedown) and he closely compares mine to the store cable I guess he doesn't know what micro sub looks like. And he says it charges just fine and decides to finally bring it to a technician and they ran a detailed test on my sub cable and determined it was frayed on the inside so I said to myself no buggy I then decided to ask if he cud do something about this crack in the screen bezel just about the volume rocker. And he employees and talks to me as if I'm 5 years old. The worst part is because he wasn't a technician I never got the survey call from sprint to rate his poor performance
Edit pleasebignor the subs* I opined back time stock today and you all know how shifty Samsung's spell check is

Well of course he treated you "like a 5 year old"... You were playing dumb and you probably over-played it.

Seriously, i wrote better than this and communicated myself across with more cohesion at 5 years of age. What exactly is going on here?

I have a good relationship with the tech supervisor at the local repair center. The thing that kicked it off was when I brought my OG Epic in back when I was trying to get MIUI on it (before MIUI was release for it), he thought it was pretty cool that I was tweaking the phone like that and asked me if I could do anything with his Evo......free service/repairs ever since, no questions asked.

Fliping charging port sucks.

This is my second time that I am having to return my kindle because the charging port got jacked up to where I can't hardly charge the dang thing. This is so annoying... I know its pretty much myself to blame, but you know...Its just cheap.
Anyone else experienced this with their kindle's?

That is what happened to my first Kindle. Now I am on my third.

I just dissembled/reassembled my kindle fire hoping to see something obvious, but unfortunately I didn't see anything wrong.
Side note: It was so Scarry taking this thing apart. I had to be super careful not to touch the processor leads and such.

Where did you get the instructions to take it apart? How did that go?
I've barely used mine and the charging port flakes out sometimes... pretty sad.

USB Dongle Jig

Just wanted to share some good info on the jig I just got from Amazon. The Sainsonic micro usb dongle jig for Samsung Galaxy S Captivate/Vibrant works perfectly in the E4GT. I think I paid about 4 bucks for it. Boots right to downloader. Now I don't have to worry about bricking my phone. Hope this helps

It is actually really easy to do. I have seen some tutorials that shouldn't even exist. Using wires when they aren't even needed, the work wasn't done cleanly, etc. I do my own because I know they work and they look somewhat professional.

Once I move, I plan on mass producing them for a few members, including the JV testers. That will be some time next month. I may start selling them on ebay. I like mine more than the normal ones that you see... Mine are more reliable. The ones that most sell only last for a little while because they use a tiny surface mount resistor that gives out quickly. Granted they look neat and professional, but aren't worth it in my opinion.

Usually borking your bootloader is a result of flashing an i9100 ROM or kernel, or a bad USB connection during an Odin flash.
Be careful about what you flash and use Odin with care and you'll be fine.

It already is. Just cuz I'm white I can't hate a person of minority for their actions without being called a racist. It has nothing to do with skin color when someone is a total douche wouldn't matter if they were freaking transparent to me, but god forbid their skin is darker than mine and suddenly I'm a fu*king racist. Its ridiculous.
