Does anyone know where I can get another cable for the screen? Mine has connections that are messed up and it finally went from intermittent to not working at all.
Did You find one?

I first bought the Samsung brand MHL adapter, and the moment i plugged it into the phone, it simply reboot without displaying anything on the TV. I figured it might be the adapter, so I returned it and bought a 3rd party Menotek adapter only to find the same problem.
The power cable is connected to the adapter, and the adapter to the phone and HDMI cable. I even tried a different power cable, and wall charger and same problem occurs.
Is this a problem with anyone else, one that has a fix? If not I might have to exchange my phone, since this is a feature I really wanted.
Could it be perhaps that the Docomo (Japanese) version uses different electric current that it has to convert, but the adapter can't convert?
i have the exact same problem.
at first i thought it was the cable, so i exchanged for another one... it rebooted.
then i thought maybe it's the tv, so i tried a friend's tv... it rebooted as well.
so i figured it must be the phone. but then since everything else was working perfectly on my phone, i couldn't be bothered to go exchange it... i thought i'd hardly use the mhl if at all. guess you should go exchange yours while you still can though.
I'll contact newegg about it, see if I can get a hassle free exchange.
My biggest guess is that is has something to do with the 110v/220v electrical current that it either doesn't receive enough, or too much, causing it to restart.
I am not sure what a good solution is. At least I am not the only one.
hmm i doubt it's got anything to do with electric currents.
it's my understanding that standard usb power is 5v.
anyways japan uses 110v same as US, and i'm in asia 220v and we're having the same problem.
I had same problem as this but the jelly bean update fixed it....

110/220 is AC, which is converted to DC before it even gets to the usb cord, let alone to the phone. Most chargers will support 110 & 220, so there shouldn't be any issue there.
Are you rooted? Have you tried any other ROMs?

i have the same problem and the jelly bean update doesn't fix this problem, any solutions?
I9250 suffers from defect as well
I have problem. Using i9250 original international version. MHL worked once upon a time, jelly bean didn't fix it, started in 4.0.4, last worked in 4.0.2, dont care about downgrading just to examine, but going back to stock 4.0.1 or 4.0.2 might fix it
Please star issue:

Ahh forgot about this thread. Using bigxies deodexed rom got it working for me you can find it in the dev forum here.
My phone just doesn't charge anymore.. I've googled and googled. I found one page where a guy said to push up on the tongue of the port to get it centered, but that didnt help at all. I've tried multiple cords with no luck. So I have two questions. What is better to go to for help. My verizon store? Or talk to them on the phone? And if i do, would i need to return to stock? No wait, 3.. if i do need to return to stock, how would i do that with a dead phone? I posted a question on rootz aswell with no solutions yet, maybe y'all will have some ideas. Thanks ahead!

Had the same problem recently. It's a hardware issue, the only way to fix is to change the board inside the phone than contains the USB port.
And there is unfortunately no way of re-locking the bootloader, since your phone won't get a connection to a computer due to the dead port.
I looked around in an local Android forum and found someone who could fix my phone for a very fair price. The USB board is not expensive, you can get one on ebay for about 10 dollars
Hop this helps.

Thanks for the response, Im chatting with samsung support right now. Do you have the link of the repair guy?
Hi, I am having a slight problem and am at a loss.
First of all, my phone is stock. I bought my OTG cable a few months ago and it worked just fine. I was using it to play games with my PS3 remote. However, with less time on my hands, I put the games aside and with it, I was no longer using my OTG cable.
Whenever I plug in the OTG cable, nothing happens and I don't get a notification that a USB device is connected. I have confirmed that it is not the OTG cable as I have tried it on 3 other phones, all of which responded to the cable connecting.
I am not sure when this problem started happening, but I didn't notice until yesterday when I was trying to use my OTG cable. In addition, when I plug in my phone to my laptop, my phone doesn't give me the option to turn on debugging mode. Again, I don't know when this problem actually began. I mention this because I am not sure if it is relevant to my OTG cable problem. Yes, I have checked and debugging mode is enabled.
I am not sure what to do and I have scoured the web trying to find a solution. Maybe I am searching in the wrong places, or maybe I am not just searching correctly, but I figured that my last option was coming here.
I thank you ahead for your time and hope that a solution can be found. I will be more than happy to provide any more details of needed.

Sounds like a bad USB port. You can replace it yourself, or do a warranty exchange. I don't think it's software related but try factory resetting. Or another ROM.

It sounds similar to what my phone was doing a few days ago. I don't have the OTG, but when I plugged my phone in to the computer, it only went to charge mode and didn't give the USB options, and the computer didn't recognize it at all. I ended up flashing back to stock rooted and it started working again. I flashed CM and then AeonFluxx again and it continued working, so I assume that it was either an app I had installed or something extra I had flashed. Either way, it's working now.
TL;DR Try reflashing before you start tinkering with the hardware, that fixed a similar problem for me.

Alright, thanks guys.
I think I am just going to do a factory reset.
I am able to charge my phone just fine and it connects to the computer just fine as well (Heck, I can do what many others can't....connect to Kies). I have no problems with data transfers either.
So I assume this is a software based problem.
...I may as well root while I am at it....
Haha, I will tinker around a little bit more before I do a factory reset and come back with my results.
Thanks again!
Are you using a kernel with fast charge?
Never mind. You are not rooted so that is not the issue.
Well, it looks like the factory restore didn't solve either issue. So I ended up calling it in and hopefully the replacement phone will work. Gonna have to wait a bit though...GS3's are currently on back order.
Thanks again for the advice though guys! Appreciate it!

I haven't noticed the clock issue and mine charges fine without any flimsiness. How long have you had your phone? Might be able to swap it out at Verizon (or wherever you purchased it at) with no questions asked. I'm assuming that's about your only option for the charging port issue. If you are able to swap, make sure you test out the camera to make sure you done get one with the purple hue issue.

thanks for the reply. I've had the phone since June. Okay. I might take it back into the shop, see if they could do anything about it.
I haven't noticed the clock issue (but to be fair, I've never really looked for it), but I know that I haven't had any issues with the charging port. Has your phone always been like this, or did it just happen recently? I agree with the above poster in that you should take it back to have it checked out. Sorry for not being more helpful, but good luck!
My earbuds which i was using for a long time
Then my newly bought usb Cable
Then another earbuds which i had at home
All these 3 items went faulty just in period of one week for me. Earbuds are not working in other devices to but the usb cable could charge any other device but not mine.
I just got my phone back after replacing my faulty touch screen. And then all of this happened. Also i had installed a new rom and kernel after getting my phone.
I find it a little difficult to find that all this accessories gettingg faulty were a coincidence.
Just wanted to know your opinion.
