ok so mono didnt just(as in now) sell the cable

this may have been one of the bad batch that was pulled a while ago. so hopefully mono is still selling good cables now.

cant believe ebay had hami cables much cheaper than mono does.

i Purchased the 10ft. high speed hdmi cable form monoprice about 2 months ago. it worked awsomeee, the cable was good quality and was like $5, i feel bad for all u guys who fryed ur phoneesss :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
eBay is generally a bad place to go for accessories.

There are minimal controls to keep flaky vendors form pushing junk through their system. It is also hard to imagine that you will save any significant money versus simply going to Amazon and sticking with sources that have decent customer reviews and feedback.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Payvay:
Sweet. Just bought another brand of HDMI on Ebay... :/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Monoprice:
Re:HDMI Cables.

Hello Everyone,

There seems to have been some false information being circulated in this thread that I would like to get clarified.

It started with the accusation that Monoprice Micro HDMI cables were causing damage to the LG G2X. Let’s review some of the information we have.

[Due to posting limitations I had to remove the first . from the url's]

The LG G2X has had some widely publicized quality issues.

wwwtmonews.com/2011/05/has-the-g2x-been-pulled-from-store-shelves-due-to-quality-issues/

So many, that it was rumored that T-mobile wasn’t even willing to provide replacements.

wwwtmonews.com/2011/07/t-mobile-no-longer-issuing-warranty-replacements-for-the-g2x/

Among this long list of issues are problems relating to overheating and power problems.

wwwtmonews.com/2011/05/t-mobile-posts-g2x-issues-and-resolutions-document-fixes-pending-resolution/[/url]

These issues caused it to be out of stock for a very long time.

wwwtmonews.com/2011/06/why-is-the-g2x-still-out-of-stock/

And T-mobile had to ultimately re-launch the product.

wwwtmonews.com/2011/07/deal-alert-t-mobile-g2x-returns-to-t-mobile-com-free-through-thursday-july-28th/

Some G2X owner have even taken it upon themselves to file a class action lawsuit.

wwwtmonews.com/2011/07/class-action-lawsuit-filed-against-lg-for-g2x-troubles/

We also know that the HDMI port on the G2X is linked to the phones power system since the product literature states that you can connect the phone through HDMI without any additional power draw which means that the Phone is taking power from HDMI and feeding it into its power circuits. While it is common for devices to utilize the 5 volt power line on HDMI, it would seem that the circuits on the G2X may be poorly implemented.

With regard to the Monoprice Micro-HDMI cables:

They are manufactured to HDMI specifications.

There have been no reports of product damaged caused to any other make or model of devices.

They have been tested on many other smartphones and have had no issues.

Returned cables have been tested and found to have no problems.

The cables currently sold on Monoprice.com have not been changed. The report that there was a bad batch that needed to be replaced is false.

The logical conclusion would therefore be, that if your phone was damaged after connecting it’s HDMI port, it was due to a defect in the phone and not the cable.

Sorry to hear about all the difficulty the owners of this phone are having, however as far as we can tell it doesn't appear the be caused by our cables. We will continue to monitor the situation, If you have any information to share please let us know. You can contact me directly at: Steven.Bell@Monoprice.com

Regards,

Monoprice Tech Support.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KeithLM:
Did the seller claim it was a Monoprice cable? Nothing that you've provided indicates it's from them, so why should they help you? BTW, if you are buying Monoprice cables from someone on ebay, you are probably paying too much.

From everything I've seen Monoprice has an impeccable reputation. I've been buying cables from them for quite some time, and have referred a number of my friends there, and from the A/V forums I visit everyone seems very satisfied with them. So I'm willing to accept what the reps from Monoprice have said here, especially since the overall reliability/quality of G2X's has been piss-poor to say the least.

So far I haven't tried the HDMI connection on my G2X, can't see much reason to frankly, but since I finally got a phone that seems to work ok in most regards (2 days and counting, so who knows how good it really is) I feel like it might be safe to use HDMI on it. I know some people have reported multiple lock ups when charging, as well as overheating and battery issues. I never had those with my prior 2 phones, at least no more lock ups while charging than when not charging. But it's easy to surmise from that that there were a lot of phones with some sort of power supply issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Uejji:
Is there some correlation between this issue occurring and the phone also being plugged into a power source via the micro usb port?

If the G2X ostensibly pulls +5V from the HDMI port, perhaps also pulling +5V from the micro USB port could overload and damage the battery charge circuitry.

Just an idea. Any recalled success/failure stories either way?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
dont know

I do know that if you just plug hdmi into the tv from phone and watch a movie phone is dead in 2 1/2 hours.

I did research regarding the MHL ports on teh sensation and the new samsung phones. and from what i found the hdmi specs that are out on hardware devices at this time do not suppot charging devices from the hdmi port. so i am confused.

can some link me to where teh current hdmi spec for hardware devices now sends a charge to hardware because i havent seen any info regarding this.

I did watch hdmi with the usb cable plugged in also without problems. no overheating or anything.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Uejji:
According to http://www.hdmi.org/learningcenter/kb.aspx?c=6#42 , HDMI spec requires at least 55mA on +5V, but devices can supply more, perhaps even higher than 150mA. It seems there is no maximum in spec, just a minimum.

This is a rather negligible amount of amperage, even at 150mA, in terms of powering the device, though perhaps the HDMI circuitry is very sensitive to relatively high current from the HDMI cable.

It's possible it's not a phone issue per se, but an HDMI device issue. That is to say, obviously the G2X is being damaged by devices that other phones are not, so that must be a build quality issue, but maybe all G2Xs are the same and some HDMI devices are supplying a higher current which damages the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tmdz28:
This happened to me. Exactly like what was mentioned in OP. I have the LG cable that I purchased from amazon for $16.

This actually happened to me twice, on two different G2x. I sincerely thought the GB update would fix this problem, but I think this is a hardware issue. :(

Any know fix for this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] paulbo99:
NNNOOOOOOOO!!!!

The same thing happened to me... I bought a used g2x, and it was working great until I bought an hdmi cable from monoprice and tried the hdmi output. Now it heats up and drains the battery like crazy. Practically useless.

I wish I had read this thread first :(

Anyone know of a possible fix? There's no way I can get a warranty fix on a used one is there? Any other suggestions? I'm so sad... and it's almost christmas! :(

It doesn't seem like it's just the battery - otherwise it wouldn't be heating up so much. Help!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackpbj:
http://www.amazon.com/Micro-HDMI-Vi...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1324384699&sr=1-10

This the exact hdmi cable I had purchased a while ago but when I bought it it was even cheaper lol. I bought it for $2.95 with shipping and I was worried that being so cheap that it would ruin my phone but I haven't had any problems yet with it and I use it all the time.

I don't watch a lot of tv so I don't pay for cable in my house but when I want to watch a movie on my big screen, I just download it to my sd card and connect my phone.

I would say the only problem is that the length is too short. Like I said, I bought this hdmi wire to watch movies but then I tried to play games on it and I freakin love it. I can't even play console racing games anymore. Asphalt 6 is more fun than anything on xbox 360 and on the big screen it comes out crstal clear. I just wish I wasn't so damn close to the tv.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] paulbo99:
Even when I'm not using HDMI output my phone now heats up and drains the battery like crazy. Are you suggesting that using a different cable might actually fix the phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] anish88:
so i am wondering, do you think that the hdmi cable is more lickely to ruin the phone if you have it plugged into the charger at the same time?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooternj:
First off, two things. Thanks to the folks who replied last night about my two-step Google auth issue. You were spot on.

Second, these forums are great and thanks to those who built them up. The "instant search" of your subject line is amazing. I've canceled two posts just based on that.

So, I've got one I can't seem to sort. I'm a big Amazon guy, for general shopping, MP3s, and EC2. I've attempted to install two or three different Amazon apps (basic, MP3, etc) and when I click one of the apps in the Market, I'm getting a "Sorry, details page for the requested item could not be found." Any ideas?

To be honest, I have searched on a few other items, but not the error message. I'll do that now, but thanks in advance if you have any insight.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooternj:
Just an FYI, I searched on the error message (shortened) and can't seem to find much, and I also have been able to install other apps successfully (non-Google/native).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naturefreak85:
Try installing from the web at market.android.com I will say that the basic Amazon app will not install on Honeycomb (shows as not avail, not sure why)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooternj:
Just a follow up, it seems some other folks are getting this error message on various app installs.

But to naturefreak85, I will try your recommendation and let you know. Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooternj:
Thanks, Nature. I was able to install the MP3 app from the web (and it works)...the general Amazon app tells me it's already installed, but I sure as hell can't find it.

I'm on my way...thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neoprimal:
Ok so some friendly advice. If your tablet can see some apps and not others that are definitely in the market, it more than likely means the apps aren't compatible for some reason, so incompatible that Google's decided to make it so they can't be installed into tablets from the market. Sure you can sideload and they may work, but just understand that if you get a ton of FCs on the device from unrelated stuff down the road you realize that the culprit could be these forced apps. So, be careful or at least record whatever you sideload so that if you get lot of FCs you can backtrack and remove the possible problem apps. I'm reading where people are having slowdowns and fcs and I'm fairly certain it's because these people have installed incompatible apps designed for pre 3.0 Android that are now playing havoc in their Honeycomb system.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HECTOR-ZERONI:
Okay so I'm running the EnergyROM, and one of the features is Internet Pass-Through which allows you to share your internet connection from your COMPUTER TO YOUR PHONE. You have to install HTCync to use. but I can't seem to get it working. I've tried uninstalling the app, the drivers. I've also tried installing different versions of HTC Sync. I've tried erasing all HTC Sync data (shortcuts, installer, blah blah) and reinstalling it. None of what I've done seems to work. What is weird is that I have previously used this App and feature and they worked fine, but due to a computer infection, I had to restore my computer to before the HTC sync download and now i cannot get it to work. Any suggestions? Alternatives?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] topaza:
Hi,

I have an issue with my Galaxy S. While I played with the app "VPNC" suddenly my Phone freezes and the Screen is black. (Donßt think the app is responsible for that)

So I removed the battery and after a reboot the setup wizzard appeared and all my personal data disappeared. Some Contacts, call history, app data, shortcuts, everthing!

Apps are still installed but some crash when I start them. My wallpaper is still there but nothing else on the "desktop".

WTF happend to my phone?

Is there any way to get my data back?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Looks like you wiped the settings playing with app.

Data contacts should be where you backed them up to .

You could look at internal sd card via USB mass storage .

You need a factory reset .

As the dev of the app says .

Warning: You do this on your own risk: when hacking your phone you loose the phones guaranty! If you crash the bootloader by doing this, you are lost: the phone will definitely be broken!!

I warned you...

So first inform yourself carefully about what others did and their experiance by googling around...

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] topaza:
Actually I do not think that this app is so dangerous at all because it seemed to be the only Fritz!Box compatible VPN Client and is used by many users afaik.

Maybe I pressed some buttons while the screen was black and did something stupid without seeing what I did?! I don´t know...

However, the data seems to be gone and I have to deal with that.

The good thing is, that I created a titanium backup just a few days ago (Batch --> all apps and settings or so)

The bad thing is, I have never really used this app. Just installed it and made that backup. No restore so far and just the one backup for testing purpose.

Now I don´t want to do anything wrong, so what is the best way to proceed now?

Reset Phone to factory defaults, reinstall titanium and try to recover this ways?

Re-Flash the ROM, reinstall titanium and try to recover that way?

Is there any chance to make a "dump" of my current flash in case i am destroying more than is already destroyed, so that I could get back to the state the phone is in right now?

Is there anything that will not be recovered by titanium, so that I should try to save this before doing the reset?

//EDIT:

I am wondering, how is it possible to wipe all the personal data and configs with just one buggy app? what exactly happened there? Does this make any sense at all and is this behavior a known issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Factory reset and use Titanium to back up apps and data but not system settings .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] topaza:
okay thanks, will try that.

Can anyone tell me if there is any chance to backup my phone (flash dump?) as it is right now before I do the reset? If my titanium backup does not work I ḿight have wiped more doing the reset than already is wiped and it would be a good thing if I could get back to state the phone is in right now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] topaza:
Did the reset + recovery with titanium now. Everything is fine so far except my home screen layout. Is there a way to recover the home screen using titanium?

If not, how can I back up the home screen?

btw: titanium is a really great tool. Will definitly buy the pro version to support this project.

ok so heres the deal. i bricked my last gt540 but was able to bring it to the store and swap it out.

lol so here we are on the new one and i have it rooted, latest recovery i can find 3.0.2.4...i managed to flash mur4ik's cm7 2.3.3 but now it seems as if im stuck with it. whether i try and flash from clockwork or rom manager i always get a failed attempt. once i noticed it was cause the rom wasnt signed so i toggled the option to off and still it failed. any help would be awesome.

thanks gents!

[GT540 Optimus General] targa:
dunno- therere millions of threads out there. maybe someone feels like and gives us a hint what to do....
[GT540 Optimus General] kdm212:
ok so i managed to figure out fastboot via cmd. i was overthinking it. anyway i get to the step where i need to send and write the fastboot flash boot boot.img. it sends it but fails to write to the phone.

(remote: flash write failure)

any suggestions?
[GT540 Optimus General] gizmo001i:
Have you tried downloading the files again. Sometimes the download is corrupt which will cause a fail in the recovery. I have had it a few times myself. After downloading the file again (often from another source) the recovery completes itself succesfully.
[GT540 Optimus General] kdm212:
i have tried to redownload. im actually going to bring the phone all the way back to stock and see what happens. kinda start from scratch.
[GT540 Optimus General] maneshvinod:
Try this way go to market and Download bt file manager and seleact the update package and extract to a folder then try install zip from sD method try and rply

Get in emergency mode and reflash boot.img via CMD with fastboot commands and you will get the same error probably, but you just reboot it, let it boot it will work

I root and flashed my HTC EVO 4G to cricket using Jiminy rom.

baseband: 2.15.00.11.19

Kernel: 2.6.32.17-gee55fd

htc-kernel@and18-2 #15

I used this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=934417&highlight=flash+evo+cricket

2 weeks into having switched to cricket my phone has started sending a lot of calls directly to voice mail. Even when I have full reception and the phones are right next to each other. I went into the individual contacts to make sure the SEND to voicemail was off.

I checked my voicemail settings and they are with my number. I even did a NANdroid restore all the way back to the original ROM.

Around the same time as the problems started I had been trying to set up visual voice mail with Google voice and this other service. Neither worked, so I deleted the apps.

Has anybody have experience with similar issues?

Im sorry but thats the way Criket service is and always has been.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n0b0di:
Well I'm trying to figure out why my voicemail notifcations when I first got the Evo onto Cricket didn't work. I jumped around on ROMS and then they did work. Now once again they don't work. Problem is I can't figure out which ones worked.

As for your problem with them sending to voicemail directly. Sh*t happens. The only thing you can really check is with whomever called and see if it rings or just goes directly on their end. If its direct it might have some thing to do with your PRL or I have noticed that if my phone is doing something with the connection like syncing or whatever it feels like i won't get the call even though it will others. kingtheproducer is right though its Cricket and they don't care about a lot when it comes to customer service. Can't even talk to someone if your phone is listed CPE depending on the agent.

To get Google Voice to work you just forward your calls that you don't answer to your Google Voice number by dialing *74GoogleVoice# (not literally but your Google Voice number). As far as I know you can not port your number with Cricket to Google Voice. Just remember Cricket will not forward calls to a different area code so your Google Voice # must have the same area code as your phone.

Im not a big fan of Google Voice and how it sends you a billion notices for the same call. Never figured out how to get it to stop sending me emails, text messages and voicemail notifications for each call. And what good is visual voicemail when they cant transcribe the message worth a damn
