[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] V@no:
It seems the body of the phone is so thick at the bottom towards the front, that the usb connector sits way too deep, because of that some micro usb connectors can't reach all the way through to properly lock in. The cable that came with the phone has such thick plastic around the micro usb connector that when pulled a little sideways it acts like a crowbar, pulling the plug out the connector, all it needs a slight pull to the side and the cable disconnects.

Looking at the hole (screen is up) it seems the bottom edge of the metal casing of the connector is almost at the edge of the plastic:

however top edge is about 1/8" away from the edge:

View attachment 1589512

That 1/8" of plastic is what stands between the connector and cable.

I just checked two other phones I have and their metal casing is at most 1/16" away from the edge of plastic.

Cable from HTC One X that has much slimmer plastic at the connector works almost perfectly, but it still not as secure as on other phones though.

Anyone experiencing same issues? or it's my phone defective?

My advice to u is if it wiggles u might want to talk to samsung..wiggling can cause damage to the motherboard due to disconnection and conection of power source ...goodluck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] One4mNoWhere:
Mine too but I have the sprint version. When to the store to complain but they couldn't help. I didn't have this issue with my sprint galaxy 2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dmwitz:
I've had the same problem on my International Note II since day one. Rather annoying. I came from the SI so I thought it was due to the usb being on the bottom instead of the top.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] twanskys204:
Well if u guys are just "dealing with it" dont move the cable at all,,, I know somtimes it happens ..maybe dont charge it in the car..where its more plausible to get moved
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] V@no:
The purpose of this topic is not seek for a solution, but rather gather information if more people have the same issue, if it's a design flaw or defective selected units.

The wiggling is inside the connector, not the connector itself.

Well we clearly know its not a design flaw, s3 has the same exact plug...plz gather that im simply heeding a warning to not move the cable thank u:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Evo:
This has been discussed before on another thread. It is a widely known issue. The thread mostly concerned AT&T Note IIs, but it appears it's on pretty much every single variant. Last I checked (and it's been a while) there was no solution other than being lucky enough to get your phone replaced for free.

I am on my second Note II (i-317) and I had this very issue on my first device, albeit, the problem seemed to have been a lot worse on my first phone. It's not so bad on this one. Even the Best Buy rep who I've been dealing with for a while, mentioned the issue to ME, when I went in to complain about my terrible battery life on my original Note. He said he was having the same issues with his Note II. He said it's almost like Samsung built the stock charger end too small. He said he didn't think it was a design defect of the phone, itself, because when he uses other non-stock chargers they fit perfectly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] brochador:
same here.. at first i thought someone unplug my charger but then it's happening most of the time.. i can't think of any solution so i'm just dealing with it..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sling:
Mine came with Defective cable as well.

For the fix I trimmed some plastic sleeve off so it slid in further gets bite now

I also purchased kindle replacement cable from amazon that fits much snugger -

Is it true that supercid = 1111111 will not get a JB update? You can only use your original carrier cid, such as ROGER001 or CWS__001:confused:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Meosuper:
up up up up
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
Yep, but I wouldn't recommend it. There is already a jb stock rom pulled from the AT&T OTA update in the Android Dev. If you ended up doing the OTA from AT&T, your bootloader would update, and a lot of other stuff would update. HTC isn't playing nice with the Dev community right now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] powers516:
that's lame...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
HTC One S users who have SuperCID and took the JB OTA are getting hard bricked... so.. Wouldn't recommend it
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] korruptedimage:
I have a stock Android 2.3.6 galacy exhibit 4g and when I boot up into recovery, an update is automatically found, installed and then reboots the phone doing the same thing every time recovery is booted into. My problem is, I cannot find this update package in my internal sd storage to save my life nor do I even know what the update package would be called. Can anyone please help?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] theAPANT:
I'm not certain but it might be called update.zip, because if I remember that's the only name that will flash in the stock recovery. As for finding it, just try searching for update.zip. it should be on the root of the sdcard(no folder) because that's the only way I thought it could install. Any ways I'm probably wrong but at least you can try.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] korruptedimage:
i tried that too. it was unsuccessful. im almost out of ideas. does anyone have a clue about multi csc code that can automatically apply upon booting into stock recovery and then make it automatically reboot the phone?:D
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] korruptedimage:
This is exactly my problem. I just took a picture of it. this it what it says as soon as i boot into recovery. No options. Nothing. Just reboots
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] korruptedimage:
sorry i thought it posted my picture with the link. only place i have to upload it is on facebook but heres the link. if anyone can help, please do.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] theAPANT:
I'm not sure really what CSC code is but I think your talking about stock Odin flash able package. That should get you back to stock and flash the stock recovery and wipe everything. However i think it will bootloop after it flashes so you will have to boot into recovery and wipe data. If so check out the wiki. There is all the info you need. I have another idea though. I haven't done this myself but you should be able to push a clockworkmod recovery.img to the phone from a terminal if you have adb also in the wiki. I can't view your pic because I don't have a Facebook but maybe someone else can. Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
That is the stock update pushed by Samsung from what it sounds like. Also sounds like a data packet might have dropped during the downloading of it causing a bad install. For simplicity get cwm Installed and boot thru that and flash from cwm. Wiki has all the info needs.

Wiki please read completely on rooting and install of cwm. Suggest 6.0.1.2 version. Personal preferences on that.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] korruptedimage:
Problem solved. I just randimly pushed the 3 buttons on the phone before the rebooting part came up in the script and finally got the menu, took may tries to get to that point but as soon as I got to that point, I was quick to install clockworkmod successfully. Now problem is gone. Hope this thread maybe helps someone else
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] raylu:
I have a similar problem. Which 3 buttons are we talking about? Power+Home+VolUp?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tazmaniondvl:
Easiest way, take out battery, push volume up and power, insert battery while holding, when Samsung appears release only power, when the android guy with package appears press menu
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] thmitsu:
Make sure you push the "Menu" capacitive button (left in the row of four buttons below the screen) when you see the green Android guy and the box. That will get you into the stock recovery menu.

I had to reboot into recovery a couple of times because I missed that part. What a pain!
[Asus Transformer TF700] pollardhimself:
Any one have a fix for the low audio when playing movies with mx player? You can hardly here anything with the stock speaker when watching a movie. However youtube and all the other apps have alot louder audio.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Swipe up on the right hand side of the screen whilst playing. ;) MX, like many videoplayers, has internal volume control.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Look into Dice player - it has built-in settings to amplify the sound... Besides that, it's the best video player I've used...
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I found that Volume + is the best app for boosting volume for any players including internet video streaming and Youtube etc.. It's a master volume boost for all your audio, master volume, headset volume and blue tooth volume. The boost is extremly high so set to about +14 (+20 is max) should be suitable for anything you throw at it. After you installed, make sure you go into preference of Volume+ and set the gain, then go into settings ->sound.> effect volume and put a check for volume+, reboot and voala!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Yes, Volume+ works fine, but it's just another app that will always be running, sucking up CPU cycles and memory.... I've found that my volume is fine for just about everything except for certain videos, which is where Dice really shines...

More of a personal preference (I used to use Volume+), but if you start adding all of these little "add-ons" (volume+ to increase sound, Lux to do auto-brightness, live wallpaper to display a static wallpaper, etc), you end up consuming quite a bit of memory and/or CPU cycles for things that you don't really need extra apps for...

When I was trying to tune the stock kernel, I tried to (and did) find ways around using all of these "add-ons" (due to the poor performance of stock) and I think that my system is better tuned because of it...

Just my opinion, of course!

Please post MODS in themes and apps unless the code is provided to bake into a ROM or modify an app, for example adding 4 in 1 boot menu, modifying mms app to send more than 10 group recipients...real development. Changing bootanis, sounds, colors, etc and any flashable mods belong in themes and apps.

Hey guys, quick question (sorry for the NOOBness) :( lol , ive got a rooted and flashed HTC that i bought couple days ago, and the mem card is only 4gb, iwant my 16gb with everything on it.... how do i go about switching everything over oto it.... ive tried copying everything onto computer and putting it then on my new sd card, but also when i tried this i put my sd card in and an error came up saying it was corrupted, prior to this i formatted my sd card on the computer and nothing was on it, when i tried to click on something it would come up 'app not installed'

Does anyone know what im doing wrong as im DYING to have my bigger sd card.... many thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
On ur 4gb sdcard have u any partition on it? (ext3/4)

If so u will have to partition ur new sdcard (ext3/4) to the same size r slightly bigger.

Then simply nandroid backup ur phone, copy the backup to ur computer then copy the backup from computer onto ur new sdcard, put sdcard in phone then boot into recovery and full wipe then restore backup and reboot.

Also copy any important things on ur old sdcard to new 1, music, photos etc etc.

Hope that makes sense

Hello i want to send back my phone to warranty just want help checking everything is alright and ask a few questions

my phone says

xxxlockedxxxx

pyramid pvt ship s-on rl

HBOOT 1.29

eMMC-boot

and i had to change my cid as i used super cid when flashing and ruu.I changed it to htc__003 which i recieved a software update but found that was the wrong one

so then i changed it to HTC__001.Is that the write code for the united kingdom unbranded htc sensation Xe

.It is now currently running android 4.0.3

How can i check that i removed root access ?

And what does rl stand for next to s-on i hope it dosnt stand for relocked

How can i check i used the right cid?

Thank you for your time it is most appreciated
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
you are fine

now for your questions:

1)use the root checker app

2)RL it is not relocked

mines says the same after S-ON

3)see here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195475
[HTC Sensation] chrisund123:
The cid for world wide English unbranded is HTC__001.

I've no idea what the RL means but all phones have it. It's nothing to worry about. If you have s-on and locked, you're fine.

If you ran an RUU then that will have erased root. You can check by installing terminal emulator and typing "su" then enter. It should fail if you are unrooted.
[HTC Sensation] mti89751:
I typed Su in caps lock and it said error

and what would be the cid for united kingdom or would I be able to get away with the one I currently have

I bought the phone from t mobile but it carries no branding from them

thanks for replying about my s-on Rl query it has put my mind at ease
[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
Android is case-sensitive, 'su' should be written is lowercase.
[HTC Sensation] mti89751:
thank you I did that and it says Su not found and I also used root checker like someone suggested above and it said no root accec

do you know the cid for the HTC sensation xe English united kingdom unbranded
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
a user above says that is htc_001 the one that you have changed

i assume it is the right one

take a look also in the thread i linked to you previously
[HTC Sensation] mti89751:
I changed it from HTC__003 to HTC__001 which I found in another thread to be united kingdom unbranded HTC sensation xe but the user above said it is world wide English I'm a bit confused now
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
maybe he was meaning the same:confused:

but also take a look in thethread i told you

maybe you find something there

merry christmas:)
[HTC Sensation] mti89751:
I checked the cid in the link you posted thank you and its says and I quote UK unbranded HTC sensation is HTC__001 which is the one I changed my cid to

can you please kindly do me one last favour can you check that the ruu I flashed is the right one I chose Europe 3.32 which I later received an update which made it 3.39

http://vi8.info/HTC-Sensation/Sensation-XE/

and is there a diffrence in the cid beetween a sensation and a sensation xe
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i haven't seen before such an update to 3.39

my device is european unbranded too

and i know the update comes to 3.33

about cid: different devices comes with different firmwares so different cid
[HTC Sensation] mti89751:
I accidently used an diffrent contitnent cid and I was prompted to update I did then changed my cid do you think this will make much of a diffrece If I claim warranty
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i am really not sure for an answer:(

go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1443587

ask there

someone will know something
[HTC Sensation] mti89751:
Sorry my mistake my hboot is 1.29 my software version is 3.33.401.153 is that normal for a HTC sensation xe UK unbranded
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
now i understood because actually there is not such an update as 3.39;)

yes and it is the latest one
[HTC Sensation] mti89751:
last favour of you I ask

I checked your thread you posted however that is for the sensation not the xe

can you please find out if HTC__001 is UK unbranded htc sensation xe

many thanks
[HTC One X+] wdkingery:
Are you using a custom rom on your ATT (not international) one x+?

Chances are, you are using TWRP (Thank you Lloir for for the recovery needed to flash custom ROMs.) But where did your stock recovery go? I don't know where mine went; I guess I overwrote it.. So now it's gone.

Well, if you are using TWRP, and you let your phone

then you may be in a pickle; unable to charge your phone. (What happens? IDK, but here is discussion about it.)

So you may say "Hey, I don't want that to happen to me."

Well if you don't, you'll need to reflash your stock recovery, which you can now conveniently find in this thread, after you are done using TWRP.

I'm hopin this can sticky so others can find it easily.

This has been around for a while, Flash TWRP when you want to go into recover then flash stock recovery for the rest of the time.

I had tried to update to the leaked jelly bean, but something went wrong & caused a soft brick. I have now restored the phone and it's running as follows.

Android 4.0.3

Baseband I9100XXLQ6

Kernel Ver. 3.0.15-I9100XXLPH-CL118559 se.infra@SEI-45 #3

Build no. IML74K.XXLPH

However it keeps saying damaged usb storage and not recognising the sd card. When trying to use the camera it says. 'Turn off usb storage before using camera'

How can I fix this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
sound like your usb port has gone faulty..

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanbmx:
Hmm interesting. I'm guessing it was a flash failure that has caused this. However it is also running a non oem battery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Flash failures don't damage the the USB port/circuitry (hardware). The only thing a flash failure can 'damage' is the internal storage (by making it unreadable as opposed to physically damaging it; this can often be fixed with a JTAG repair).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanbmx:
Need to find someone that can do it then. Anyone know of anyone in the midlands that can fix it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Ask local mobile repair shops. Given it's a fairly specialised/fiddly repair (unlike replacing a display for example), not many do it given people who get JTAG's done tend to be people who voided their warranties ;) (you're not going to get business out of 95% of phone users who keep their phones stock/don't mess with them).

If you can't find one locally, Google should yield plenty where you can post to & have them post back to you when it's done.

Edit - Actually, having just re-read your OP (in my previous post I was merely countering the idea that a bad flash could trash the USB/charging circuitry), your phone probably doesn't need JTAG'ing. JTAGs are done when a phone is non-bootable. Yours works. Have you tried formatting internal storage ? What I'm getting at is your phone isn't bricked. Bricked phone's don't boot. There's no such thing as a soft brick, it either is or it ain't.

Other people might have things you can try but formatting internal storage is the first thing I'd try with a problem like that before I paid someone money to look at the phone in the first instance.

Extra edit - As much info as you can provide around exactly what you did & when (every single step) might help yield a solution as well (stuff like well I flashed a rom, it didn't work so I went back to ICS stock isn't enough. If you want a shot at not forking out money to fix this we need every single little thing you did).

I followed this guide. It got to hidden.img and then failed through Odin.

After that it would come up that it needed to be restored via kies.

I spoke to dannyvidd who helped me get it back up and running by installing the kernel again. But now I have the damaged usb storage.

How do you format the internal memory?

Hi this happened to me did you do a re partition and select the wrong file e.g 32gb

Load up odin and do a repartition first without loading any rom.

Be sure to load the correct partition file.

ah possibly. so just load the 16gb .pit and repartition.

once complete run the pda file?

maybe a silly question, but the jelly bean flash didn't work so I'm back to running ICS. do I need to find the correct pit file to go with the Rom I'm running?
