I'm about fed up with microUSB. Since I got my Evo a year ago I have gone through five microUSB cables. My last one just stopped charging so I ordered four more.. :mad:

The one that came with my Evo lasted almost two weeks before the end came loose and charging became spotty (had to be sitting just right or it would disconnect). So I started using the one that came with my Logitec mouse to charge the phone and I ordered three more online. The Logitec one lasted about five days before it became loose. One of the three that I ordered lasted two days, another one lasted about three months, and the third one carried me over until it stopped working a couple of days ago.

What is the deal with these things? It's not like I'm rough with my device, it hardly has a scratch on it. It's just the charging cables keep falling apart.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jimcgov3:
Ya know, now that I think about it.You are right. It has to be the cables. I, like you have been very good to my phone but have gone thru quite a few cables. 6 to be exact. My only saving grace is www.monoprice.com.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Bowdowntozoltan:
I don't have any problems. I had one car charger come apart but it's because i was off roading and the phone was getting tossed around. I still have my original cable.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Main Frame:
That's where I keep ordering mine.. I would think it was their cables that are shotty, except for the fact that my HTC and Logitec cables didn't fare any better.

I've had one Motorola car charger the entire time and it's worked perfectly.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jigglywiggly:
My phone charges on like any micro usb cable... Though they all have to be slightly tilted downwards. I had to solder and hot glue a new microusb port since my old one fell off completely.

They all remain pretty tight in there, using blackberry ones I got on amazon for $1.30
[EVO 4G Accessories] JustRuin:
I have not had any problems with my microUSB cable
[EVO 4G Accessories] Kornsaq:
Between me and my wife, both of our HTC cables have gone bad, so we started using the ones for our old phones (palm and dare), both of those went bad. We now use the one for our Xoom, and the one for my old blackberry. It has to be something with our phones messing them up cause I have never had an issue with micro-usb until I got the EVO a year ago.
[EVO 4G Accessories] KB112:
Stock cable with no issues here. Perhaps it's how you insert/ remove? Just like with the ladies... nice and gentle.
[EVO 4G Accessories] threestripebrand:
Stock cable here for 6 months no issues.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Filidor:
I had the same issue. If I didn't keep my HTC cable in juuust the right spot it wouldn't charge. Well a few cables later and a desperate trip to radioshack after work one day I got the slightly expensive gigaware cable.

I feel like I have been rougher on this than most and it has heldup great. I would recommend giving it a try.
[EVO 4G Accessories] spencer88:
I still use my stock HTC cable (just for charging my phone overnight.) I've never had any problems with it. I use it along with 3 other 6 foot cables that I keep in various places when I need them.
[EVO 4G Accessories] chaoticallysweet:
Thought it was just me.... on my fourth cable. Am gentle with my baby - never dropped or talked to it meanly (even when the b*tch threw a tantrum) but still can't keep a.cord working for more than 3 months .

[EVO 4G Accessories] karlitas_way:
Haha, I have 3 micro usb cables and all of them charge my phone, but do not pop up as a drive on any computer. I have to hold it a certain way and not move for it to finally come up on my computers, once I move though it's over. I'm not sure if that's a cable issue or it could be the pins of my phone that are messed up. I take real good care of my phone, haven't dropped it, charge it and don't mess with the cord while it's charging at all besides removing it gently and putting the charger on gently. I dunno, for now I'm using a card reader to transfer my media and things.

[EVO 4G Accessories] Filidor:
Don't fear, its the cable. Had the same issue and it was only with that one cable
[EVO 4G Accessories] JD1zzle:
Duly noted. I work in electronics retail, so I get the higher end cables fairly cheap, and had a ton laying around from my old BlackBerry Bold, so I have never used the stock cable, but I will be sure to switch the girlfriends over.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bobengle3:
Glad it's not just me.

Couldn't help but chuckle at this thread. Ive gone through at least 5 cables in less than a year. They only last a couple of months before they get loose and stop charging. I just make sure to keep spares laying around. :p
[EVO 4G Accessories] kobe4rings:
I feel your pain ! Ive gone through 6-9 Cables. I have chargers everywhere and have to improvise with different positions every time. Its sucks ass. Ive noticed the MicroUSB jack is kinda chipped on the left bottom corner.

Real Question : Why is the HTC cable the only cable that lets me transfer data ? The others just charge the cellphone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Tiffany84:
I've gone thru several myself. It drives me crazy.
[EVO 4G Accessories] xlGmanlx:
as others have mentioned, electrical tape and monoprice are probably the only solutions
[EVO 4G Accessories] nohbdyshero:
I use 1 from my old blackberry and it transfers data just fine

I am on my 2nd cable in about 8 months
[EVO 4G Accessories] JD1zzle:
Same, BlackBerry cable transfers data for me.
[EVO 4G Accessories] davidv001:
hmm.. i never had any problems
[EVO 4G Accessories] Stuke00:
Same. I've had the EVO for 6 months or so now, still using the same cable.
[EVO 4G Accessories] weidnerj:
HTC cable didn't last long, another cable did fair to the phone getting knocked around in the truck bending the end.

Found that cheap cables are truly cheap. I have had good quality ( = pricy) cables and hadn't had any issues with normal usage.
[EVO 4G Accessories] TheNexxuvas:
I stopped using cables to charge my phones around 2004, and as a Sprint Technician let me tell you, cables and ports for phones have gotten worse every year.

They are not sturdy, neither mini usb, micro usb, 16 pin, 4 pin, none of them.

The ports are soldered on by only 4 points these days, 2 at the front of the port, and 2 in the back of the port onto 4 holes in the circuit board.

It takes very little pressure to bend or break ANY of these 4 points. Not too mention those with big heavy hands, that usually instinctively JAM things into sockets of any sort...I've resorted to wall chargers that charge the battery externally and or using my cadex machine at work to power up all my batteries.

When you see every phone ever made, with a broken port, you tend to shy away from using them EVER again.
[EVO 4G Accessories] focbuster78:
I bought this one after the cable that came with the Evo broke (about a week after i bought the phone). The cable lasted about 6-8months
[EVO 4G Accessories] 0mie:
I order 2 10' cables from www.monoprice.com, first one arrived broken and second stopped working after 2 wks, thank god they send free replacements :)

I found these on the net and all though these were found by another XDA member. The numbers are carrier specific for ATT but i was wondering if all the Guru's and tech geeks can concur if they might actually be useful/tweaked for our Tmob network.

These tweaks are not ment to increase download speed's but rather give better performance wise.

Original numbers for ATT from post

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28

ro.ril.hsupa.category=9

ro.ril.hsxpa=3

Here's the link where i found them:click here

After checking out some things i came out with these numbers.

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28

ro.ril.hsupa.category=7

ro.ril.hsxpa=0

Although they are not set in stone and your mileage may vary but i have noticed the responsiveness for anything data related is a tad bit quicker then again it might just be a placebo.

Hence why I'm reaching out to see if these tweaks are or could be done better for our network with some testing done in other areas.

These numbers are located in the build.prop file. A quick google can tell you how to get there using root explorer on a rooted phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] asesino:
Well I tell u this much I did change my build prop on my MT4G

hsxpa from 3 to 2 and it did improve my data speed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fabricatedhero:
Kool so there is some merit with these tweaks atleast with that part.

To everyone else post your results if your testing and lets find out together to make our data network a little more streamlined so we can enjoy our youtubing, break.com app watching, and pandora listening selves ^_^

To the guru's feel free to chime in...this is a constructive thread so no worries...everybit of knowledge can help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I have been reading over the Sensation forum and it appears to have even more bugs than the G2X. What the hell are these manufacturers doing? Also, has anyone seen the video reviews of the Sensation. Theres no reason for all that lag in a high end Android device these days. Our G2X appears much faster.

Lastly, it looks as if HTC really **** the bed with the new version of Sense. Samsung has made positive changes to TouchWiz over the last year while Sense has done nothing but add useless eye candy that hogs up system resources. TouchWiz is now the least intrusive manufacture UI and I applaud Samsung for toning it down.

The Sensation is definitely off of my wish list now. Glad I went with the G2X and possibly the SGSII.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
People like sense because it looks easy and pretty. Stock android does not look pretty in comparison. The average user does not care about system resources.

A majority of the people do not buy a g2 for stock android they got it for a keyboard. Most people did not get a g2x for stock android they got it for a larger screen and maybe dual core goodness because it sounds good. Most buyers don't care about quadrant scores and custom roms they want fast large pretty looking eye candy and Facebook.

I'd bet the number of users on this site don't even account for half of 1% of the total android users worldwide.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] 21productionz:
+1 awesome post. I agree 100%.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] allthrottle:
I think most phones out now have nearly as many issues being complained about on the forums. I haven't noticed any major lag in sensation vids except a couple where they show it being booted up. Every phone I've owned so far had had at least SOME lag to it, especially when booting.

Except for the 1gb of useable internal storage, I really like the phone. My wifes mt4g and my old g2 didn't have much of an issue with that much space.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] againareku:
I have to agree with the post above. I didn't get the phone for vanilla android. I got it for dual core power, the 8mp camera with autofocus and flash, the 4 inch screen, and HDMI out. like I said, the hardware is so polished, but the software is not. and some stuff out there doesn't even work right, like the toggle widgets on beautiful widgets.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
thats what people keep saying but

i hear this less than 1/2 of 1% all the time. i find it hard to believe that htc would come out and say they are opening bootloaders to please 1/2 of 1% of users.

while this may be true with all android phones i think this % is low for the g line of tmobile phones. and other high tech ones.

I agree though many like sense because its pretty. thats why there are so many copycat clock/weather apps out so we can get it without the rest of the bloat.

i havent had a phone with any of them coming from the droid to the g2x both stock.

but from everything i have read it seems that the only one i see with complaints of causing serious lag with the phones is motoblur.

I did find the perfect phone finally!

its the one that comes out just after the one you bought.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I have to disagree with the ideas here. I bet a large percentage of iPhone users are jailbroken.

Same with android. I know so many people with androids now and I've been asked if I can root and flash an updated rom for them.

These are random house wives and joe smoes. Android is known for its customization and people take advantage of that.

As far as the sensation, I wrote it off my list a while ago. Too many negatives with just hardware specs let alone what software bugs are found. Still no root or unlocked bootloaders.

I'm following the sgs2 and they seem to be making some headway. Root and custom CWM kernels. I don't think they have much on the custom roms yet. Ouch though, their methods are complicated ones. Seems like a pain.

I don't think I'd trade my G2x for a SGS2 but it would be a first choice if the G2x was magically unavailable.

Too big!! The SGSII not coming to TMO makes no sense.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lilmoe20087:
I got this phone because I knew I can do so much to it, I can't lie the UI setting HTC offers is nice but I look for more than the interface and such, Iam interested in the processor, the advantages of the rooting process, and the speed of the phone. Besides we can still make our phones look nice with custom roms and themes so Iam happy with my g2x

Just because people ask for root it does not mean they should have it because they have no clue.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
You cant really compare them directly because Android and iOS offer different user experiences. They're both good devices but iOS obviously isnt for everyone and neither is Android.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
In all reality, there aren't that many issues. Minor screen bleed and wonky battery driver. As long as you the screen bleed isn't bad, the phone is pretty solid. The battery driver is being fixed by the great devs over in the Android Development section.

At least the GPS isn't worthless, or the cellular screwed up, or the bootloader encrypted, or limited touch screen multi-touch.

When put into perspective other other phones and their issues, the G2x is a pretty solid phone. Nothing a little polish from XDA can't make shine.

Lexar is a 'named' generic and Patriot is a enthusiasts brand.

For PC, Patroit memory is amongst the best you can get.

Having said that, I have the 16G version of the lexar here. with that little reader thingy, and it performs VERY well on transfer pc -> card.

A chkdsk /x on the card is slow though - I don't know if that's a problem or the size of the card.

Was that price in USA $$? I ask because the price here is $55 AU.

Problem rooting Xperia X10 android 1.6

First of all i want to thank you for all your responses. Following the instructions in the forum, i downloaded the latest version of Flashtool available (0.6.7.0). After installed in my windows 7 (32 bits) notebook, i run the application and connect the phone. The software recognize the unit and the android version without problems. So i decide and press the root option (The unlocked padlock) and it begin to work. At the end of the process an error message appeared indicating that it can install the busybox software and its stop. The phone is working, but nothing appeared regarding if it root the unit (I think that that no), so when i ran the flashtool utility again, at this time the unlocked padlock is not available. Can anybody help me with that i will appreciate so much.
