I've seen a little chatter on the New Trent battery packs, but haven't seen this issue, so I wanted to see if I can figure out what's up.

I've had the IMP500 (5000mAh) for 3 or 4 months and really like it in general. Well, the little micro USB adapter has a little too much play and after 30 or so plug ins and outs it has a hard time maintaining a connection, to the point where it's almost unusable.

When I use the included wire, it shows up as AC charging. But, if I use a 'real' USB cable, it shows up as USB... which as we know can't provide a positive charge while using.

I know about the whole shorting of the 2/3 pins to force an AC charge, and I can see the mechanics that give me AC with the New Trent wire. But it would appear that I'm out of luck without getting a new one of those.

Anyone know of a USB wire that will force AC charging?
[HTC Rezound] mike.s:
No, because any cable that shorts 2-3 isn't a USB cable, just as a charger that doesn't isn't a USB charger. They simply don't meet the specifications. If they're labeled "USB" anything, call the manufacturer and complain.
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
yes, a USB charging ONLY cable: available here:

http://www.amazon.com/Naztech-Micro...BCAY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331144352&sr=8-1

the reviews on there matchup to what we want... a usb format cable that is shorted for 'charging only' it won't work for data.
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
Amazing, thanks! I hunted amazon but didn't come up with that one. I'll have to try it out.
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
Got this today and it works like a charm. No more soldering together pins in old i-pod chargers for me. Thanks again for the lead.

[HTC Rezound] mike.s:
One can buy chargers from reputable companies which follow the USB charging specification for under $10 (car or AC). Why mess with non-standard chargers and cables which are no cheaper, from bit players?
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Back when I got my Dinc, I bought like 10 of these, they were actually on special for like $2.99 ea.. they are now close to $5 (amazon prime free shipping).

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001P05K9K

I bought the other day one of these the other day as I didn't have a Car charger...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002TOKTHO

< $3.50 with free shipping (not amazon prime).

I had a meeting the other day and I ended up connecting my Rezound using one of the cables above with the charger above and got AC charging indication on the phone when it was charging.

Works great.

I also have 4-5 of these around the house ... Not phone related

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0037G2BMY

I use them when "family" comes over with their broken desktop computers and need me to "fix" them. Instead of stringing them to my office, I just plug one of these in and Wifi them so that I can work on them remote from my notebook. They are like $8 and work great.

Hello,

where to find this "Naztech Micro USB Charging Cable" for delivering in Belgium (europe). It's on amazon.com but delivery is only US and CANADA

Or do you know another cable wich deliver full power as with wall charger and original htc cable (about 850ma)

Thank you.

[HTC Rezound] mykehorn:
Have you guys heard of Mediabridge? I got one of their ethernet cables, but now it's the only brand I buy when it matters. If anyone is still looking for a charging only cable, they have a long 6 ft. cable and a coiled cable - though they do have sync cables with the same stats too (and cheaper).

Here are the charging only cables from Amazon:

Oops, I guess I do too much lurking and not enough posting because it tells me I can't post outside links until I've had 10 submissions.

Simply do an Amazon search for Mediabridge USB Charging Cable and they should be the first 2 results that show. You can compare them with the data/sync cable because the data cable is a single color where the charging only has a dark cable and light grey terminals.

If you're interested in the data/sync cables you can find them under Mediabridge Hi-Speed USB 2.0
[HTC Rezound] V0latyle:
If you're using a wall charger or a car charger, either modify the cable (not ideal) or the charger itself (more ideal) to short the D-/D+ pins. When the phone detects the data pins shorted together it assumes it's connected to an AC charger. If you do this to a cable, make sure that only the micro-USB end is shorted and cut the wires so the USB A end isn't shorted.

Many PC USB ports are limited to 500mA draw anyway.
[Kindle Fire General] micromarty:
I just installed the Energy CM9 rom onto my fire. It starts to boot but never gets past the animated loading screen. I have also tried the same thing with the Hash COde ICS Rom. Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire General] daggy1985:
What Rom did you come from? Did you wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory data reset, and system? Did you check the MD5 for the zip?
[Kindle Fire General] geokhentix:
I second this. I'm using the CWM-based recovery. Is there any way to get into recovery before the CM9 boot starts?
[Kindle Fire General] daggy1985:
I would assume you press and hold power button at firefirefire boot screen until it turns from green to orange, which will load recovery. That's the way it works with twrp.
[Kindle Fire General] nind:
Did you try the original CM9 ROM from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1411895 ?

Please make sure to do a "factory reset" on CWM if you switch between ROMs.
[Kindle Fire General] micromarty:
I did and it took forever to boot but it worked.
[Kindle Fire General] nind:
That's usual for the first boot, it should be very much faster on the next boots.
[Kindle Fire General] JeepLKW:
I had this happen when I installed the ICS Energy rom. I wiped my KF back to stock and flashed the rom back onto the KF. I let it sit on the boot animation for maybe a minute or two and it came back up.

I guess on the initial boot you gotta be patient haha
[Epic 4G General] AOD_Corwin:
Debating on google voice. My boss swears by it but I read more bad then good. I know sprint users get basiclly a more functional version, but is it worth it. What am I losing. I know if I go cm9 that ill pretty much have to go to google voice for functioning voicemail. Yes I know how to move the vvm, but results seem veried on the annoying 9016 txt. Who's using google voice and is it worth the effort?
[Epic 4G General] stilesja:
Don't do the integrating with your sprint number. Just set it up as your voicemail. That way its not a permanent thing that takes sprint support to undo. Just choose skip integration when you try it out. It will have you dial a code to forward unanswered calls to gv and then you are set.

I like it. The transcription is mostly useless. It understands me fine but real people leaving messages it is just laughable, but I do live in Tennessee so that may he part of it lol.
[Epic 4G General] AOD_Corwin:
I had it ounce before but gave up real on it quick, but found that could be unintergrated fairly eaisly from the web site. Your not the first person to mention using it just for voice mail. How about for txt messaging though
[Epic 4G General] stilesja:
I don't use it for txt. Pretty much voicemail only for me. It doesn't do Mms to gv number so that's a non starter for me.
[Epic 4G General] majjhima:
I like GV for easy importing, editing, and backups of my contacts which is handy when flashing ROMs often. I also really like being able to block unwanted phone numbers. It has been handy sometimes to be able to send SMS from the web client, but I generally just use the stock messaging app on my phone. Since I'm using the integrated GV number, my SMS messages still show up in GV. The call screening is also nice when you want to know who is calling before actually accepting the call, though I disable it for known phone numbers. I like managing my contacts from my desktop where it is easy to setup groups and add photos. GV is great for making cheap international calls, too. I can't think of any lost functionality from the default Sprint services.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I use gv as a secondary number.

Don't integrate with sprint, its pointless lol for all that you can just chill with your regular service lolol

Also android backs up contacts to your profile....
[Epic 4G General] AOD_Corwin:
So sounds like the way to go is.use it for.voice mail but not.txt.as.it doesn't support mms anyhow. Though you can text from your pc

[Epic 4G General] saramon:
I have been using Google Voice since it came out, one of the original invitees, I did integrate with Sprint because I have been using my gv number for gosh probably about 5 years now. Started to use it on my archos 5it back in the day, and setup an soip so that it was basically a phone when I had wifi connection. It is nice to know that I will always have the same number, even if I don't feel like porting, or pick up a tablet with only wifi connectivity. Also, all my text messages are backed up for 5 years now, never loose one unless I delete it. Their visual voicemail is pretty meh, especially the transcription service...
[Epic 4G General] worldwidepmp:
I'm fully integrated, and I have no problems with it at all. I also love how I can run it on my Kindle Fire to check SMS and missed calls if my phone is upstairs.
[Epic 4G General] saramon:
Or any computer, say you leave your phone at home accidentally, you can still get your voicemails, and send sms...
[Epic 4G General] pvtjoker42:
i went full GV integration because I spend most of my day in zero cell signal coverage.. so it was a way for me to be able to send texts over wifi.. and who can't help but be amused by the voicemail transcriptions.. lol
[Epic 4G General] AOD_Corwin:
Yeah adding it to my kindle was one of the reason I wanted to jump back in. I just have to make sure its all reliable as I get a lot of sales calls and txts and email and crap
[Epic 4G General] saramon:
One thing to be aware of, is that MMS is pretty half assed, in that I don't think you can send an MMS using your GV number unless you integrate. You cannot do an MMS directly from the app itself, you have to send it with messaging. If you get a MMS the image or video will be sent to your Gmail account.
[Epic 4G General] JBizzleFoSho:
I went for the full integration. To list what I call benefits:

-Better voice mail

-Able to respond to voice mails/texts from any computer including my HP Touchpad and prevents me from tapping away on my phone at work.

-Always have a place to keep track of all my conversations.

-Been enjoying the ability to have different voice mails messages for different contact groups

-Blocking of spam numbers and texts (Enjoy this immensely)

the day it can handle MMS properly, I'll be one happy camper.
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
Same, full integration and I love it. There is no reason not to do it really.... Always have texts available from a PC, being able to send texts over wifi when you're not in a signal area... It's awesome
[Epic 4G General] AOD_Corwin:
Ok last questions, and I'm sure I should ask a sprint rep or something, but I garantee this is faster.

With sprint my cell to cell is free. Do I still get that with google voice. And if I'm in california and I call the inlaws in canada (on their cell no less). How am I billed. Or am i. Web site says one cent a minute, but if google voice is basicly voip then how are we billed. And of corse if this is voip, does that mean in a data dead spot I have no phone unless I un intergrate.

I beg for forgivness at my question that are probably searchable, but if mess with my phone to long my wife yells at me so quick answers instead of searching mean I get to sleep in the bed instead of the floor

Edit: as i read more in to this i basically find some web pages that rave about it and some that says there is a ton of hidden fees. The hidden fees com in to play that if you call mobile to mobile, but at some point it is routed through a land line (rare case) your using minutes and may not realize it. doesn't bother me at all. long distance call. i cant call the in laws unless in canada unless i put cash in my Google account.. i would never call any other country. the way its worded on the website is awkward. it might be saying its free. it might be saying its 1 cent a minute

Edit2: Under know issues from sprint. quote "Charged incorrectly for calls to Canada (Calls to Canada should be free while using Google Voice)

If you are being charged for calls to Canada please contact Sprint Customer Care to request a refund for these charges."

so its enough an issue that it showed up in the know issues web page
[Epic 4G General] knightsriot:
Google Voice is actually all I use. I had Sprint but I discontinued the service cause lack of funds (I'm a broke college student now, listening to REM & The Fray on my iPod headphones at coffee shops.) no, but really, there is literally Wifi everywhere I go, so that's my way of communication. Everything works. I think Voice is awesome. I recommend it. Just don't sync it with your Sprint number cause it'll do the "ring 3 times & send the caller to voicemail" thing. Last time, I checked, that could be fixed in the settings though.

[Epic 4G General] josidhe:
GV works just fine. If you integrate it, you won't even realize it's there. By default it will let you use the native messaging app, so you never even have to load Voice except to listen to voicemail (making it no better or worse than VVM). MMS works identically to regular Sprint messaging; I send and receive them all the time the usual way.

Once you get cozy with it, it's just a nice way to know your texts are automatically backed up, and it let's you set custom voicemail greets for each person/group in your contacts.

I haven't seen anything negative about it that wasn't fearmongering or a relic of a past issue raised by someone who didn't know what they were doing in the first place.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
The only negative is if you are like me and use a Google Voice number to set up a business line. Once you set up your Sprint number to use Google Voice as well they share the outgoing message on voicemail.
[Epic 4G General] danipoak:
I don't have a landline so I got a number and have it forward to mine and my wife's cell phones. If I want to make a call using it I just open up the voice app. I wild do the integration but google won't let me forward multiple numbers to one cell phone and using it as a "land line" number is first priority.
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
I was never able to integrate google voice with my sprint number. Always says error try again. I already had a random gv number I made from before however, I dunno if that makes a difference. I talke to a sprint rep today and she was clueless too.

So yeah I've been running cm9 for weeks now with no voicemail. If any kind soul would like to enlighten me on how to get voicemail working on cm9 that would be great.

[Epic 4G General] AOD_Corwin:
No. My wife's family is Canadian so I'm sure we will at some point. But I haven't yet
[Epic 4G General] virgillette:
I read that if you integrate, then calls to you will be seen as a voip call and not considered a mobile call. Not good for my family that all call me from their free cell to cell plans.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I recently just let google voice handle my voicemail (right in the phone settings it let's me choose googlle voice for vm) because I didn't know what it was gonna be like, and I love it. I didn't integrate with my sprint number, they're still 2 separate ones, but I dialed the number it gave me to provision and now when I get calls to either number, they both direct to GV and its VVM :D me like
[Epic 4G General] Mobius360:
I did the same thing a couple weeks ago and things are working great. It integrates with CM9 very nicely after the last update.
[Epic 4G General] petridw:
I used to have my number integrated with GV and had problems with it losing text messages. Basically every couple of months I would suddenly stop receiving texts from one contact for anywhere from a day to a week, and then suddenly all of the missing texts would unload on me at the same time. This led to some wonderful misunderstandings with the GF. It also always seemed to happen with only contacts I texted frequently, so it was always someone important.

I loved having it integrated though.. the online text backup, texting from a pc, voicemail, are all awesome. I just need to be able to trust my texting service. I may give it a shot again at some point down the road.

I think my galaxy nexus (perhaps nfc?) is causing a fault in my MacBook causing it to shut down.

When I set my cmda Nexus on the left or right grill of my MacBook Pro 2010 15' the screen immediately goes black. Then I have to press MacBook's power button and log back in.

Anyone else notice similar problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Shut down or sleep? Its probably sleep. The phone is probably interfering with the magnets that the MacBooks use to detect if the lid is closed and sleep the computer. I faintly recall a thread on this already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Lol. Not me in the video obviously but sounds cool. I'll have to try it with my new MBP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yep mine does it on my late 2008 unibody MacBookPro. Bottom right corner when looking at it from the front. As I said, just an issue with how Apple uses magnets to detect the screen being closed. Not sure why you'd be putting the phone on the computer like that in normal use... has to be in a very specific place. I wouldn't want the blunt aluminum edge to scratch my device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aidanbree:
I have noticed the same. I sometimes place my phone on the macbook when tethering whilst on the train.

I noticed it went to sleep then realized it must be the magnet in the speaker stimulating the lid closing. If you move it off and wait a few seconds it will return to normal.

Btw, mines in a case so not scratching!
