Turn on mass storage? :P

Any micro USB cable will work.

The LG cable from my work Epic 4g doesn't work on my Razr. The HTC cable, blackberry cable, and Motorola cables all work fine. I did have to restart the phone to get the cables to work after I tried to use the LG cable.

LG cables are known to suck, avoid them like the plague.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] opensourcefan:
I've just been using any old cables I've had lying round, at least 3 different brands, lengths etc, no problems at all.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kimo91:
In fact I'm using my daughters old LG cord for both charging and data swapping on my Razr. Have you checked your cords maybe it has some corrosion in the micro part that's causing your issues?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dakota0206:
This is known issue with Motorola phones having to use certain micro USB cables. Not all will work on a cellbrite machine or for data transfer. Not every USB cable is the same. I am not sure the technical reason for it, but BB cables do not work. For what it is worth BB uses USB A to micro USB "B" cables.

The easiest way to tell if the cable will support debugging mode. The charge only cables will not trigger the debugging mode in the status bar.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Deron Baker:
Completely untrue. I have never unpacked my Razr's charge/USB cable. It is still in its box. I use the USB cable from my first-generation B&N Nook to charge and transfer data. I sideloaded over 20 gb of data onto my card with it and use USB tether with it.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
well according to the quote above, BB cables do work.

And ive been charging my Razr on my BB Tour cable just fine all day.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dakota0206:
OK some Blackberry cables do not work. This isn't even a debate. Just Google. There are several articles on this that go into what causes it. Most micro USB cables do work just fine. So don't say that "well I used these hand full of cables" so I'm going to pass that off as scientific proof that you must have a defective phone.

What idiot would pull a random cable have it work and say well that proves they all work?

It's mostly a problem with Motorola phones and some HTC. It has something to do with the amps (or something) the phone needs out of the cable. While all micro USB cables have the same number of pins, apparently not all have the same number of wires connecting all the pins. This is what I have read, I have not actually stripped a cable to find out.

I do have daily experience transferring data through all kinds of phones and we have a couple of cables that will not work on the Droid 3, X2, Bionic, or Razr. They are not defective cables because they do work on some other phones.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Topgun966:
What are you talking about? I have never used the vzn usb cable they are too short. I think there is some user error here.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
I never said that all BB cables or USB cables work.

In your post I first quoted you said BB cables don't work, implying that they all don't work.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shadowdancer123:
No problem here either, I've used cables as different as

2 metre könig usb cable with fake gold plating (really cheap brand)

0,7 metre cheap plastic cable I found in a box at work

The two original moto cables

A hair thin samsung original cable

If you're on a laptop, that's probably your problem. Or your front USB if it's a desktop.

I too have used numerous MicroUSB cables without any issues.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jesemalave1:
I tried.all My data cables and from different phones they all work... Must be because ford is the worst auto maker in America...phones know an import.man and the cables.are known too work fine.with data transfer even from my old nexus s... But are known not.to work.. Unless you drive.an imported car.. Technology now a days knows what you have
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jstuart83:
2nd that I've used blackberry cables HTC cables and other Moto cables and no issues here. I have purchased a cable before and realized later after reading the package it said for power purposes only, it would not transfer data but it was clearly stated on the package I just didn't take time to read it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iguana775:
I have used the USB cable I got with my Samsung Mesmerized with no issues.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] equake:
Its the pin configuration. There are some 4 pin micro-USB cables which will not work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ford_Tech:
Thank you for reinforcing, I thought I was losing my mind.

As for the rest of the peanut gallery, I hope you never get bugged by a cheap ass cable by YOUR store.

And the idiot that commented about Ford auto's was so out of line it's not even funny. Grow up jackass!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dakota0206:
No worries. Most people talk out of their ass and try to pass it off as fact.

Just FYI for all, it has little to do with how old the cable is.

Please dont say, "well i have this one cable from my OG Droid that works real good, so i reckon they all work good, that there phone must be busted."

Even the OG Droid cables will work because they were obviously intended for data transfer and charging so all pins are connected. While BB Curve 2/3 cables don't always work. The Blackberry just doesn't demand as much power draw.

The cables that tend not to work are micro USB cables intended for devices with a lesser demand of voltage/ampage/wattage (never know the correct term) The manufacturer skimped to keep cost down, and used fewer wires in the cord and not all pins are connected. Another good example is some feature phones.

But most, probably 90%, of cables made today will work just fine. I only have 2 of about 50 like this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shadowdancer123:
Just because I said they all work, I encountered an issue with my hair thin samsung cable (I use it for over night charging)

I don't normally handle the phone when it's charging, but last night I played Simon the Sorcerer on ScummVM.

It uses the screen like a track pad, and I had a problem with the pointer jittering about the screen.

Unplugged the charger, and it went away. Reconnect, back to jitter.

Plugged in a thicker also noname cable, problem went away.

I guess the Samsung cable isn't EMI shielded (like they should) and that caused an issue.

Threw away that cable, problem solved.

Technically if it's only four pins on the micro side, it's not actually a micro usb cable. =)

The fifth is some sort of cable check pin.. Can't seem to find exactly what it does.

All these posts and not one person threw out samba file sharing or es file explorer. Both allow you to transfer files to and from a computer no cables. Samba works in windows for drag and drop ease. Es works in the android os and allows you to cut, copy and paste in the file explorer.

That said except for to charge and rsd lite I never touch a cable. I transfer files from any room in my house with ease. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] opensourcefan:
No need to get all bent because people didn't necessarily agree with you, especially considering you said...

which is just not the case as you found out in this thread. Yes there may be better compatibility with real moto cables but it's not quite the end of the world as you initially made it sound.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jacob_s:
I do agree with equake:

For more, see the Wikipedia article on USB (the Charging ports subsection).

It's rather rare, though they're out there on extremely cheap charging kits. I do agree LG don't seem to work well - my parents had old Chocolates Touch phones before they got their Nexus phones and were unable to get the old cables to work (though it seems to me the cables worked fine with the old phones for some reason). Also the cable that came with the crappy generic brand multifunction charger that Costco throws in with the phones didn't seem to work either. I'm presently using a generic Newegg Microusb cord and it works great with the added benefit of being much longer :-)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankyvee:
If your talking AMPs then you are including the adapter that is attached to the cable. I thought the OP was talking about just the cable no adapter. It is true some devices require more juice than others and if the threshold is not met then the device does nothing. USB ver 2.0 cables only have 4 pins on an A type connector. Pin1 is + 5 volt power, pins 2 & 3 are for data and pin 4 is ground. Some USB cables are just charge only and do not have the data lines connected example, pins 2 & 3 are not connected. And then there are special cables like the motorola usb programming cable which has two power lines of +5 volts on the B type connector (micro end of the cable). This type of cable is required to SBF or load Fastboot files if you are soft bricked and your phone's battery is completely dead. Also there is a USB ver 3.0 cable which can have 6, 9 or 11 pins depending on type of connector A, B or powered.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rushless:
The whole point is the OP is wrong, since you do not have to use just the cable stated in the OP.

The wording of the OP has created the perpetual silliness in the thread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
If I hold my Prime under a bright light, I can see evenly spaced out lines of dots. They're evenly spaced out in both the horizontal and vertical directions. I see them on dark/black backgrounds, and I even see them when the screen is off. As I said, it's only visible under a bright light and on black backgrounds. Does anyone know what this is, and do others see it as well? Another way to describe it is that it likes like there are tiny glitter speckles evenly spaced apart from each other.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
This is the actual touch-"part" of the screen. Nothing to worry about.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nunyabiz:
its the capacitive touch grid
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ducktaperules:
duno if this is what u can see but it maybe the grid inside the touch screen. i have seen something that sounds similar before on my nexus one and concluded that this is what it must be.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Aaaah. Thanks guys! I've been inspecting it carefully since so many people have random complaints, and this is something I've never noticed on another device before. I think you're right that it's the touch screen. Thanks! So far, loving the Prime.

[HTC Desire S] Nexus04:
When using the Desire S should the Home, Menu, Back and Search buttons be hilighted? Is there a setting to turn it on if there is one as my eyes are bad and I quite often hit the wrong button by mistake.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Depends on what ROM you're using. Not possible to tweak it if you're on a Stock ROM.

If you're on a custom ROM, then all ROMs with the RCMix tweaks have a feature to keep the button backlight on all the time.

Just go to Rcmix tweaks>Display Options>Backlight settings>Set to "Always On" and you're done.

Hope that solves your problem.
[HTC Desire S] Nexus04:
Hi just to update it seems it`s not possible to highlight the soft keys(that is the Home, Menu, Back and Search keys) They are automatic, triggered by the ambient light sensor and from my point of view this is very annoying.

As I am running the stock rom at the moment I am looking at the market to see if there are any apps that will solve this. If anyone knows of any that can do this can you let me know?

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Like I said... Not possible on stock ROM. In my knowledge... There is no app in the market that can let you do that... Least of all, without root.

I would appreciate a brief explanation on how to use setcpu or fauxclock or something like that. I would appreciate if someone could tell me which apparently works best wirh synergy kernel and some initial setting to put in. Ill hit your thanks button everyday for 20 years if you'd take the time. I can root, and flash but this process is something I'm completely in ghetto dark about.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
SetCPU is very simple. Once you install the application, all you need to do is adjust the sliders appropriately to the speeds that you want. Lagfree governor will give you the best performance, but battery life will suffer.

Fauxclock does not work with Synergy, so you can only use SetCpu.

EDIT: if you want your settings to stick when you overclock, don't forget to check "set on boot" when you are in SetCPU.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GreggoryD502:

I use setcpu and have from day one. It was the first paid app i bought. The are drawbacks. The best way to adjust cpu setting is through scripting. It not hard but if you lazy like me or just stupid and cant follow instructions setcpu is the way to go. Its pretty self explainatory.

After my battery got really low, Power Saver mode turned in. I have it set to go on at 15% . Normally the settings return to normal once plugged back into a charger or the battery level goes back up. This last time I let the battery get down to 5% (I know..) . You know how when it gets that low, it will dim the screen really fast and disable tactile feedback? Well the thing is, it nwver reset itself. I even changed the power settinf and reboot the phone. I had to go into the screen and touch settings to reset them manually.

Anyone know why the settings did not return to normal?

I have the same issue.

Unlocked bootloader with amon recovery and CleanRom 1.2

When economy mode kicks in due to low battery level, certain settings are not restored upon charge, namely the background data, though I found it was set to CDMA only with LTE disabled as well.

When I tried a Sense3.5 rom on my incredible it did the same thing, so I think this is an issue with Sense, not just the Rezound.

I think we need to start opening tickets with Verizon/HTC for them to address their issue.

[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
Hey all, just wondering if the beats audio make any difference. I currently use PowerAmp...usually with no EQ. My music files are mostly .flac with some .ogg and a few mp3's. I'm using Bowers & Wilkins C5 headphones on the go and Shure SRH 840 at home. Is it worth it to look for a ROM with Beats or is Beats all hype?
[HTC Amaze 4G] saulcho009:
I tried a pair of Beats. They sound similar to my $50 earbuds. To me its just a marketing gimmick. The bass for me seems too overpowered as well, and I love boosting my bass so don't get me wrong. If you're looking for sound quality, you could get earbuds/headphones with equal or better for cheaper. Sony earbuds/headphones have excellent sound quality with a cheap price tag. Best bang per buck IMO.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tombeach22:
I think he means the beats audio that comes in certain roms...

I wasn't able to notice a difference but just try it yourself
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
the beats EQ on the sensation makes even my ipod headphones sound beast, id like it on here.

with the headphones i havent tried the in ear beats, ive tried the over the ear ones at staples and they sounded great
[HTC Amaze 4G] edyts:
I got a pair of the solo hd headphones, they are over ear headphones, and music sounds amazing, id recommend them, though they are pricey.
[HTC Amaze 4G] saulcho009:
For ROMs I noticed that bass boosting doesn't kill the other sounds and sounds cleaner.
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
Yes you are right. I even said in my OP which headphones I'm using. One thing I've found is that the stock HTC player with beats audio does not play .flac files.

I was really wondering about beats audio vs something like powerAmp. I have powerAmp now but I find none of the preset eq settings are satisfying. I know you can set custom eq but that's really a pain in the ass and time consuming.

Someone in another thread suggested PlayerPro, but it doesnt seem to recognize .flac files either (at leas the free version).

So I guess the question now is, should I convert my songs to mp3 to take advantage of beats audio, or PlayerPro.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
i used to love poweramp, i just think its ugly as crap. beats eq sounds perfect for alot of music i listen to. metal, rock, techno, etc. its also annoying having 3rd partys apps, just makes your phone run slower

[HTC Inspire 4G] huged789:
Hi folks:

I am fairly new to rooting. I picked up a lost HTC Inspire 4g and rooted with ACE kit. The whole time i had the phone, i pulled out the original Sim Card.

This lost phone is from ATT and i am tempted to pull out my in service ATT iphone 3g sim card into this newly rooted phone running mike1986 revolution hd 6.3.1 rom.

questions:

1). since my original iphone 3g is on 3g, will i get caught and billed for 4g service?

2). will ATT come and get me and ask me to return the phone since it has IMEI # and it might transmit these back info to the carrier at some point.

3). any other concerns and other risks that might be come up?

Hey everyone,

I've been playing around with my new phone for a few hours now.

So far, I love it!

However, I have noticed a strange bug. The browser seems to be dimming webpages.

To see what I'm talking about:

1) Open google.com

2) open the tab viewer

3) click on the google tab - it expands to fill the screen

4) as soon as it fills the screen, the page immediately 'dims'

As it is filling the screen, the background appears nice and white. However, once it completely fills the screen, the background immediately dims to a darker white...
