That's what I'm sayin'! They all work the same. I'm not gonna spend 10x the price on something that won't work any better. To me, 1080p, is 1080p.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] B1acKcaT:
i can guarantee the $3 ones wont last..probably from ebay..lol but thats where i got mine from, cost me bout 10 bucks about two months ago and still works, i use it all the time especially weekends, make sure to check buyers feedback and also u can notice a crappy cable by looking at it...just be carefull when pickin but it's best to get one from a local store or t-mobile website
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I had some money coming my way that I was not counting on so I say what the heck!!!

I saw all the complaints if all those cheap cables. I did not want to be one of those people.

I was just posting a options some people don't mind spending more on a quality product.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ergibson83:
I've used my $3 cable almost everyday since receiving it 2 weeks ago and I've had no problems at all.

The cable actually looks like good quality....I got it from Hand Held Items. I'm usually the first to say when something looks cheap, but this $3 cable looks the exact opposite. I'm still shocked that stores can make money selling a HDMI phone cable for $30. What a ripoff....smdh

But I'm not knocking anybody who purchased that $30 cable, by all means if you got the money and want to do it .... perfect!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
The only one I see is $6.99. http://www.handhelditems.com/micro-hdmi-hdmi-cable-p999-tmobile-feet-p-162207.html

Can we get a link?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I'm kind of afraid to get one. Many reports of it shorting out batteries and ruining phones. Or were these stories just 'urban legends?'
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ergibson83:
Click Here

It actually was bought from handhelditems through Amazon. It's .50 but after shipping its $3 and some change. Hope this helps!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
This this exactly this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ergibson83:
I understand...Im not trying to sell anyone anything, I just wanted anyone that may be in the market for a cheap HDMI cable to know where I got mine from. I'll admit, some of the reviews aren't so great, but there are more 5 ratings than 1 ratings. I guess I have one of the 'Good' cables.

Nonetheless, good luck with any decision you guys make.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Paul Nur:
I got HDMI cable off ebay for me and my dad for $1 each lol, still working strong, but I cant say these $3 ones for our phones will be the same, I will be picking one up for mine soon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I return mine. I am trying cheaper cables now that I know my phones HDMI port works. The Belkin one was a perfect fit.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CodyJv:
Since I can't post links: Visit NewEgg then search the item: RCE-6-MHEF

6+ft mini-hdmi to hdmi male for less than $7.

Food for thought... seems none of you have heard of the future of internet shipping -- NewEgg... quality cable if you ask me, have 3+ of the normal hdmi and they sell adapters if you already have a hdmi cord, because how many times do you hook up your phone to a tv anyways?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Good link. I have to check that out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joseg1320:
I got an $8 dollar 10FT one from eBay.

Hopefully it doesn't fry my G2X haha.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Good luck with that cable. Please post you're results.

Thanks in advanced.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Danishswag:
For everyone out there, I'm pretty sure it's not cheap cables that fry phones. I think some of the earliest batches of the phones had issues with the soldering (because what else could it be?) that caused the battery to short out when using the HDMI cable.

I still am afraid to plug one into my phone, because last time I did, the phone got really hot (more than 50 C if I had a guess), the screen turned off, wouldn't turn back on until after a battery pull and then I went from getting a full day to getting about 4-5 hours, not even playing games or anything else really battery intensive.

Called up tmo, they knew nothing about it, but sent me a new battery because I complained enough. The phone works fine, but it's not quite the same. It can still do everything, it's just a bit touchier than before. If you have a new phone, you're probably (hopefully) fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
yeah, i got mine off of Amazon for 50 cents.

The Atrix and LG Thrill come with them in the box...Maybe I can convince someone that they don't need theirs...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Here's a silly question.

Why did they not include the cable in the first place???

I always wondered that!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] scrizz:
they make more money that way.

nickle and dime people to death
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pottyvick:
This happened to me too. Got the phone less than 2 weeks ago. But as soon as I flashed a new rom it went back to normal. Not sure if it was the cord since it worked great on my evo without any problems.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
just ordered mine 2...can't wait to get it.

It was like $3.34 after taxes and shipping

Thanks for sharing fellas! :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BIGWORM:
Damn, and I thought 6 bucks off of Newegg was cheap.

Ordered!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
Ok so i received my Micro HDMI i bought from Handhelditems at Amazon for $.50...so far i'm very satisfied with it...the only issue i have with it is when i try to play a video from my gallery it stops...but when i tried playing a movie (Up and Bridesmaids) it played smoothly. Also played Deadspace and Riptide GP and also played very smoothly..

Best $3 i've ever spent in my life.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jjlean:
Mine just tiles and looks bad. Think my cable is no good? It for sure if not hdmi quality
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
That is a decent deal, but only 6ft cord...

I opted for a 5$ adaptor that hooks to my 20ft HDMI cord that way I'm not having to stand/sit too close to my 47' Samsung led.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] BIGWORM:
You running CM7 or a CM nightly? I believe the HDMI resolution settings need to be messed with which, as far as I know, you can't set when you're on CM7. =/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joseg1320:
I got a $9 one from ebay and the picture is always bigger and never fits in my TV. Also, the 1080p doesn't work, only 720p.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] duckjob:
I got this guy on amazon for $12. Its a 15 foot cable. I have a lot of media bridge cables, they are really heavy duty and well built. You can feel the difference from the cheapo cables and they still aren't super expensive. They are also available on amazon prime if you're a member like i am.

I downloaded the hack kit but for some reason I'm stuck trying to set

hack-ace.cmd as administrator. When I try it says error I have no clue on what Im doing but Im willing to learn any help would great.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
If you are using Vista or 7, are you right clicking on the .exe file and selecting "Run as administrator"?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigdog533:
im a noob so let me tell you how i d/l it. D/L it was winrar file and i extracted but i can not get run admin when i right click also on vista.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
The hack kit should just be a zip file, which you could double click on it and extract all. Once extracted you will see the hack ace command script file and the effen manual. Open the effen manual and read it a few times. It is very easy but you will familiarize yourself with the procedure. You can uninstall HTC sync after you have installed it. You just need the USB drivers. The manual will explain this. You should be able to right click on the hack ace command script and select run as administrator. Then follow along with the manual and the on screen prompts.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigdog533:
thanks for the help now for some reason cant get a gold card
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Try formatting your card, fat32. You will lose all data so back up first. There should be information in the manual.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cmrune:
if after you format to fat32 like wolf said and you still cant make your goldcard, use bubby's guide to make the goldcard and then use the hackkit to do the root.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigdog533:
I tried to go to psas.revskills.de site to make my goldcard but cannot access from firefox or I/E did anybody have the same problem. Is there something ive done wrong firewalls are turned off but still no go.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cmrune:
hmm.. tried going to the site and it doesnt work. Says webpage is unavailable.

antivirus is off as in disabled, or totally uninstalled? cause if you download the program even when the antivirus is only disabled weird **** happens, you have to have AV totally off the comp.

i might be a little biased in my suggestion.... :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigdog533:
how do i get custom rom on to my sd card on phone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pirateghost:
A. plug it into your computer, when prompted on phone, choose disk drive, copy rom over to phone

B. download straight from phone

C. take out SDCard, put in a computer, copy rom to SDCard

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennizz86:
hi iguys,

i have some questions about the sgs 2

i got it since a few weeks and everything was fine,great battery life up to 17 hours zith light/ normal use.

i tried to flash cwm isecure kernel to flash roms, all went fine

then i found out rom manager is not yet fully compatible with sgs2

so i flashed back to stock firmware,now my battery life really sucks

with little use i can hardly get 6 or 7 hours out of it

and most of the time its just standby

i have everything off bluetooth,gps,wifi, display set to 10 percent, background sync

the only thing i have on is 3g connection..

i have better battery stats installed

and i see these 2 things always 100 percent full.

suspend/events

no matter what, theres no app draining because when i wipe everything to factory settings or through recovery, the drain remains, even with 3g off

also when i check my normal battery history,

i see 2 times android system in the stats, doesnt one need to say android os ? instead of two times system?

sorry if this is a double post, but i searched and couldnt find something similar then this.

hope you can help

hmm i really don't get why though, coz I have an awesome battery life with my S2, i got at least 2 days, with alot of calls n txts in between. I use it for my music player in the car as well, n i travel quite alot.

tried recalibrating the batter?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennizz86:
yes i tried, i also tried to wipe battery bin file through cwm, also with no succes,

my phone is charging now, so i am going to check how the battery life is with CM7 or another rom.

do you have 3g on all the time ?

i also have a question about the connections options, do you have an option to only use 2g ? in stock rom, i dont, i remember having it on my galaxy mini
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennizz86:
Update, the new battery i got yesterday seem to have no change in my dramatic battery life,

i flashed CM7 build 38 last night,

and still the same, it drains like hell!:(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Start at the beginning .

Wipe phone install stock rom wipe battery stats install

better battery stats .

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

Dont mess around installing roms that cannot cure a problem .

With a 100% charged phone and GPS Blutooth and Wifi OFF test overnight and look at what's waking the phone , ideal twelve hour sleep should be a 2% battery drop .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennizz86:
ok i will try that, turn everything off, also the 3g connectivity ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennizz86:
and for wiping the battery stats i have to flash cwm kernel on top of the stock rom yes ?

Freeze wifi sharing services and flash Litening rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennizz86:
wifi sharing is not using any power on my phone :)

also with better battery stats, i dont see nothing unusual in the stats,

also on top of that i have watchdog task manager installed, i never get any notification from any app going crazy :)

i almost never use wifi because i have 3g and unlimited internet every month,

sometimes i use the gps, when im done with it turn it off :)

i cannot get a normal 8-9 hours with normal use,

mostly doing some facebook checking, sending some texts, a little bit of ping, checking the weather..

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilhaiti:
During the storm this past weekend somebody (me) spilled a drink on my phone when the power went out. I immediately took the battery out and tried to dry out the phone as much as I could. The next day I powered up the phone only to find out that I could not make phone calls using the earpiece. Speaker phone and Bluetooth works fine. I also discovered that media will not play through the speaker although plugging headphones in works fine...the ringer and notifications work fine. Other than that, the phone works great. I tried flashing another ROM to see if just maybe it was a software thing...it wasn't.

The real issue is that I don't have insurance or store warranty coverage and my bootloader is unlocked. There is also signs of moisture on the phone. For now I can live with it, but I wanted to ask if anyone knew of any other options I could try. Or...maybe there is a way to redirect the sound??? Please help!!!

Lesssons learned:

1. Finish all drinks

2. Don't sit the phone next to the drink.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysticdrew:
If the phone works in general... then most likely a specific piece is ruined related to the phone speaker/mic.

You can try tearing apart the phone ( I believe there are tear down guides online) and then using rubbing alcohol try to clean out any corrosion, especially around components that are having issues.

If that doesn't work, then you'll have to try to replace the component. unfortunately not sure how easy that is. Tons of components sold for iphones but doubt as much for atrix.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilhaiti:
Yeah, I was thinking of that as an option...being optimistic, I was gonna try to use the phone for a few days and see if it miraculously clears up...wishful thinking
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
I bet your Atrix will revive once the hangover subsides! :)

No really, it will be ok I'm sure, I've seen cases where people inmerse their devices into pools and toilets only to discover a few days later that they keep on ticking.

The clue here is to be patient and keep it from using it for several days, and I'm talking 3, 5 or even a week! So be very patient.

Remove the battery and let it dry inside a bag, box or bottle filled with uncooked rice or if you have plenty of dry bags (those that come inside some medicines or electronics) use them!

Try not to disassemble the Atrix to avoid dust contamination, but if you wan't you can go ahead and do it. The Atrix is very easy to disassemble. Just use common sense, and if you use alcohol to get rid of moisture and corrosion, be wary that even cotton or cotton swabs can be dangerous since there are components that are cold-soldered onto the motherboard and can be peeled-off very easily.

Don't use a hair dryer, since you could damage the plastic if not used correctly.

Let us know how it goes!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilhaiti:
I sat it in rice over night, and used a blow dryer on cool but still not dice so far. Unfortunately I don't have any other form of comms other than my Atrix...I may go and buy a cheap Go Phone to use and let the Atrix take a nap. I will be patient...I'm thinking that it will wake up one day and everything will be OK

Atrix = featherweight!!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
So if the only part that's not working at the moment is the ear speaker, then maybe you can get a spare from cnn.cn and replace it yourself. Very easy to do by the way.

The bad thing is that I think they don't sell the speaker alone, but the whole modular assembly that contains the speaker, power button and biometric scanner. But check the site above to verify.

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pukemon:
Was it a mixed or sugary drink? It could've pooled up in your speaker into something sticky. You might want to try cleaning it with alcohol disassembled. Or even dabbing it with alcohol while assembled but leave battery out and let dry at least a day. Each time you dab it with alcohol, try sopping it back up with a dry q tip.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilhaiti:
Unfortunately it isn't just the speaker, media will not play through the loudspeaker either...kinda weird because the speaker phone works just fine. Also, game sounds don't play. I'm thinking it might be an amplifier or something.

It was a mixed drink so it did have some sugar in it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zxo0oxz:
I dropped my atrix in the toilet. It was only in there for 2 seconds max, but I dried it off and tried to see if everything still worked. None of the speakers worked, but I put it in a bowl of rice for a couple of hours in the Texas heat, afterwards everything was working fine.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamastang:
I have taken my Atrix for about a 10 minute swim, after jumping in the pool with it on my hip in an otterbox defender case. I felt something on my hip and noticed my phone there! I immediately jumped out of the pool, removed the case and battery. Dried what I could with a towel. Then put the phone in rice for about 3 hours. I then took the phone out of the rice and gave it another bath in alcohol, swishing the phone around to make sure the alcohol got every where the water got... I then let the phone sit for 4 days next to a floor vent in my house. Not directly on the vent. After the four days I tried powering the phone on. The phone powered on with no problems(no sim or memory card.) I then put my sim and memory card in, plugged in the phone and tried powering the phone on again, an it would not power on.

I then took the phone apart(not completely did not dis-connect any ribbon cables etc..) and used a q-tip and rubbing alochol to wipe any contacts that I thought might have signs of oxidation or water damage. Put the phone back together and let it sit again next to a vent for another 3 days. Put my sim, memory card and batter back in and the phone powered up with no problem.

I am currently using the atrix, the only thing that does not work is the front facing camera. It just doesn't seem to want to power up... but that is something I can live with. I did even after the 7 days had some moisture between the LCD and digitizer, so I let the phone sit in my hot car for an hour or two of an on to help get rid of the moisture.

Hope this helps.. I would recommend if you see any moisture to turn the phone off and let it sit, as if you can see moisture, there is also probably some that you cannot see and could cause more damage.
