I'm considering picking up one but not sure if it's worth it
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
I don't have the link off hand, but there's a thread in the accessories section that discuses this. IIRC, there isn't any confirmed way to use tv-out yet.

HTC apparently said our phones support mhl so its definitely worth a shot, I'm looking forward to your feedback

We have been trying to figure tv out for a month in the tv out thread. Let us know if it works. I wrote to HTC and they told me that the phone has mhl but they don't make the proper cable yet. I guess micro usb hdmi is worth a shot, let us know if it works.

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.

Well this is probably filed under weird forum posts but anyway.. i dropped my s3 a while back and replaced it, all is good. But i have this broken phone sitting around, the hardware is 100% intact, but the screen is not functional.. its black and no touch functions work.
I was wondering if i could garner some kind of use out of the phone, maybe find some way to store movies on it and somehow get them to play on my tv?
is this possible without being able to touch the screen?
any other ideas for my brick?
Sell it and make some cash, someone will want it for parts or something.

PM me an offer. I know what they go for on ebay
If you are on stock you could get an mhl adapter and hook it up to your TV, get a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and you now have a cell phone as a media center. Not sure how well it would work but it's worth a shot if you really want to use it.

well i tried to use n7105 pit file on my i317 but unfortunately it failed the process and since then my mobile troubles me a lot to charge and my mobile is not recognized by my pc whatsoever.. but the thing is if i connect my mobile in downloading mode with odin, it works perfectly.. even when it gets charging from pc, pc does not recognize it even though i have installed kies and samsung drivers.. is there anyway to find the solution please?
Sounds like you need a new charging port
Usually caused by plugging in a slightly wet usb cord.
Or the female end (your phone) is dirty andbor corroded.
Theyre not expensive to fix.

I would have agreed with you completely if my phone was making same troubles connecting with odin in downloading mode..
It connects in downloading with odin with no problems whatsoever that is what making me think that hardware part should be alright on the other hand it rarely connects in mtp mode with pc for barely 15 seconds and suddenly goes to dock mode.. sometimes nothing pops up.. do you still think it has to be something with charging port only? If it is so I am ready to pay for it...
Thanks for reply btw..
Its my best guess. Without seeing the phone I can only speculate. I replaced mine for around $65. Depending on where you live theres likely a few cell repair shops around

Yes man! You are absolutely right... I went to samsung service centre and that guy said its problems with charging socket so i simply told him to replace it for just 1250 INR which is just over 20 us dollars... Well but he is unsure as i317 is not available in india so his unsurity is new charging socket of n7100 may work or not.. Let me hope it will do the trick and i will get my phone working as good as brand new...
Thanks a ton...

I don't understand, if you bought the phone new then the charging port should be covered under warranty. Just take it back to where you bought it or send it in to sammy for exchange.

Galaxy note 2 - usb charging port defective from new?
Just received a galaxy note BNIB and it appears to have a faulty USB socket on the phone as will only charge intermitently and getting worse after 2 days - now won't charge at all. On its way back to supplier for refund. Question - is this a common problem with these devices?
It was an issue with the Note 1,and I was told by sammy cs that the supplier of the usb socket was changed. But this is the nature of micro usb, they just wear out.

I had the sprint Galaxy s2 and my USB jig saved me from a brick once when I couldn't get to download mode the normal way, I was wondering if I need to make a new one for the s4 or if the old one will work if I ever need it to or if it will even be necessary at all.

The standard USB JIG which has been around for years now is perfectly compatible with all the variants of the Galaxy S4.
I have a jig myself and it's working just perfectly with all the android phones I have now and all the others I had in the past.
Go to eBay and you can buy one there for under $5.00 bucks which includes shipping.
Good luck!

Got mine the other day, tested it out just to make sure it worked. Takes me right into download mode, so I now have an extra safety net incase I soft brick my phone.
Read up on jtag boxes as well. Might get one of those in case of worst case scenario. Anyone know if a good cheap one that doesn't require soldering? Haven't soldered in years.
