I like them there, I just don't like how easy they are getting stuck if you press them on the edges. Might just be a bad model, I'll have to stop by the store later.
[G2 General] usefulidiot127:
I hadn't experienced it in daily use but I can make them stick if I press down on the edge like you mention above. I don't usually press it that way so I'm not too concerned.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
I've tried to press the buttons every way possible and mine don't stick at all. Maybe exchange for a new device?
[G2 General] edwards2243:
This is an issue with the Verizon model. From the looks of your signature, you don't have a Verizon model, thus you're not going to experience this issue. :good:

I'm having the same issue, but I don't think it'll be a deal breaker causing me to exchange.

[Xperia Z1 General] Dpk1:
Screen seems pretty good in these pics (i.e head on at least)! However, judging by these photos I think my XZ screen (JDC panel) has slightly better off axis viewing than on Z1 (shown in pics above). I guess I'll know it in a couple of days when I'll have both side by side in my hands. But having looked at the Z ultra screen in person, I'm positive that Z1 would probably have a better display than my XZ.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Pfeffernuss:
Have been looking for a while to find an (affordable) micro USB cable which is a lot longer than the stock cable. When charging the phone right now I must contort myself in strange positions because of the rather short length of the supplied cable.

So I'm looking for a longer (>1.5m) cable but that one must also still charge with the same rate as the stock cable: 1900mA...

After reading some reviews on Amazon for example it seems that those cables are rather hard to find. They all lower the amount of charging current.

So the question is: does anybody know of such a cable (and has tried it himself with Galaxy Charging Current for example so it charges with 1900mA for sure :angel: ).

Thanks in advance :good:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] hexitnow:
Mah is not a charging rate. Its known as a discharge rate or capacity of the battery/cells. You might have better luck searching for it as 1900 ma (milliamps) or 1.9A (amps). I use lithium batteries in all my rc trucks and the radios and had to do a bit of studying about them, improper charging or discharging can lead to degradation of the cells or catastrophic failure (explosion).

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Pfeffernuss:
It's not rated for 2A at all :cool:

Those (cheap) cables rarely (or even better: never) offer the same loading charge. Especially at that length.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] DarkStarr:
These work: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AR4M04S/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Using one on both my HP Touchpad that has a Charging Current app and it says 2A and my S4 is also using one. It also claims 1900mA. They are good cables for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Pfeffernuss:
Can't order those ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ipaq_101:
I have the exact same problem as you, I have tried 10 different micro USB cables and only the white cable from the S4 charger chargers to 1900 or 1.9amps.

I ordered three of these below, as other forums recommended them, they should arrive today or tomorrow, if you can wait, I will test the output on them and report back.

Already some from Amazon.de on the way and ordering from US-based sites is often quite difficult for us Europeans. However, I would of course like to know your result, so please :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] joazito:
Funny, I usually strive to find smaller (10-30cm) cables.

What I need someone to explain to me is how do you know the cable isn't charging at max intensity. Does it not charge at all, or you measure the current, or what?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ipaq_101:
Just got them, they charge at 1.9amps, perfect fit and they look great.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Pfeffernuss:
Well done! Thanks for the update! :good:

Shorter cables are handy for their own purposes as well, like in a car or something. However, when I'm watching tv and the phone is being charged the supplied cable, for me, is much too short. Very awkward to play with the phone when the cable is short, hence I wanted a longer cable.

Longer cables alas usually lower the charging current so while it surely does charge the phone it takes much, much longer to do so :p
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jujuburi:
Could I have an eBay link of this cable please?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Pfeffernuss:
With $32 shipping not a viable option. Would like them though as both cables from Amazon.de don't charge with anything above 1000mA :(
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ipaq_101:
Yea that isn't worth it, unless you order 10 and maybe sell them on ebay locally yourself to recoup the shipping cost.

I bought 3 and the company is less than 50 miles form where I live, so the shipping was only $2.50.

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

I linked the website you can buy them from, they aren't sold on ebay.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] :
Hi, did you get the cables? Looking at the photos on Monoprice they look fantastic.

I am honestly tired of the crappy cables, even the S4 came in with a cable that I can't fold.

Need something like the Apple USB cable...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ipaq_101:
Yes I got them as I posted earlier and they look just like the pictures on the website, I got the black ones.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] xviralx:
Would you happen to know if they work with the neo hybrid case by spigen? The cut out for charging is just enough for the official cable to fit in.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jujuburi:
And shipping to my place shows rate of 63 bucks :o Not everyone lives in States!

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

You won't be disappointed, by far the best cables I have gotten that aren't OEM. They are cheaper than and work better than all the other nonsense cables on the internet, most of thr OEM ones on ebay and Amazon are just counterfeits.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Badelhas:
I understand your point, I personally have had a good experience with aliexpress for these kind of simple stuff...

But do 3 meters cables even work for this purpose, even if they are genuine branded ones?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ipaq_101:
The only way to be sure is to order it, It's not expensive so if it doesn't work, not a big deal.

As far as length is concerned, 3ft, 6ft, or 12ft, makes no difference, its what is inside the cable that makes all the difference.

I am no engineer, but I know that theoretically the shorter the distance, the less the current has to travel.

I have a 2 foot cable that charges at 0.3 amps, so the quality of the cable is crap. I ordered the 6ft cables from monoprice and it charges at 1.9 amps, so the 3 foot ones would as well.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Badelhas:
beware, it´s not 3 foot, it´s a 3 METERS cable - 10 foot ;)

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

I double checked the aliexpress deal I posted and the shipping cost is outrageous, at least for my country (20 bucks). Also, I checked a couple of other sellers and some reviewers say it dosent charge the S4 in a normal speed. I must than agree with ipaq_101, the quality must suck so I would only buy one if some users says a particular deal is worth it. Which takes me to my initial question:

Can someone point me to a proper 1.5 - 2 meter cable deal please?

Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ipaq_101:
Ok I tested it with the Neo Hybrid and it does fit, however it does push out the plastic bezel front and back ever so slightly, hardly noticeable.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Badelhas:
OP, have you received your cables from Amaxon.de already and can give us your opinion? I live in Portugal and would also like to order some, can you please post the link to the deal?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Pfeffernuss:
Yes, received them, as I already wrote here, both are utter crap (700-1000mA) :(
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Badelhas:
Sorry I missed it. So no solution for us?

I actually use a cable which is a little longer and it works but I can't remember which device I took it from and the length difference is not that great. Would love to buy a 2m cable that would work, though. If you find any please tell ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] se1000:

Monoprice 's 6 foot cables work fine for me. They charge at 1.9A.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
It's not really what you're looking for.

But this 10' cable charges at a verified (by me) 1220 mAh.

http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-H...5&keywords=Mediabridge+micro+usb+charge+cable
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Badelhas:
I tried that but it dosent even start charging, at least with the extension I´ve got here. And are you sure your´s charges at the same 1.9A the OP is looking for?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Pfeffernuss:
Sure, it works fine as in: long distance but loading is slow as crap.

All I want is a somewhat longer cable that doesn't degrade the loading speed. Your "solution" will, 100% certain.

[Edit] Success at last. Received the 1.50 meter cable (€7) and finally...:

Monoprice Micro USB Cables

Sorry to bump this thread but to those who ordered the monoprice micro usb cables , any updates? I've read some reviews on the site and many of them have issues with the micro usb side eventually becoming very loose. Another one where it stopped working with his Note 2 because it melted from too much current?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ports394:
why dont you just buy a extension cord to plug your charger into....
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] se1000:
No problems with my cable. IMO, some people are just rough on their electronics. The normal monoprice cables are not fragile.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] LouZiffer:
If you use the device and excessively move it around while it's plugged in, the micro USB end can work itself loose from the cable sheathing. My kids have done that with two of them. Monoprice has honored their warranty and replaced both with no questions asked. Meanwhile my cable, which was ordered along with their initial one, is only used for overnight charging and is as good as it was when it first arrived.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ongbac:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tony722:
A couple different models of Monoprice cables were mentioned in previous posts. Here's my results:

I purchased 3' and 6' "Premium USB to Micro USB Charge & Sync Cable" and they charge my S4 at 1900mah. :)

I purchased a 15' "USB 2.0 A Male to Micro 5pin Male 28/24AWG Cable w/ Ferrite Core (Gold Plated)" and it changes my S4 at 980mah.

Hope this helps!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mediumraresteak:
Hello Ya'll,

So I recently purchased the G2 from Verizon and a few things to note about the new GRam and updated camera with OIS. Maybe it's supposed to stutter/lag in this setting but when I play The Simpsons: Tapped Out, I see a noticeable lag when swiping across my screen in certain areas. It slows down noticeably as if it's struggling to process the graphics. I'll have to try it with more games but that's my 1st impression unfortunately.

For the camera, it seems that any sky or even upward shots with the sun just even slightly in the FOV destroys the picture. The white overtakes the picture and everything seems overexposed. If this is normal for a smartphone camera then no complaints. But just even taking a picture out my window without the sun seems washed out and I can barely make out the trees. The 1080p/60fps recording seems to suffer the same problems as the camera when indoors. The ceiling lights wash out everything and it doesn't even resemble anything close to 1080p. Maybe I have a defective unit?

If anyone else is experience this or I'm over estimating the phone's capabilities, please let me know so I can be content. Thanks in advance.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mik-el:
Hi guys!

I have noticed that developers continue to develop new Android versions for the HD2, there is always something of new (KitKat it's already avaible).

Developers make Android Roms bootable from MicroSD through a partition without delete W.M.

They can edit the Linux Kernel in any way.

Surely you know projects like XDAndroid that use the "haret.exe" file.

But which sofwares and which coding languages do they use to "build" these Roms?

I read about

-Eclipse and Android Studio

-Gedit and Nano

-Kate and Vim
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mik-el:
What do you know? Help me
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HypoTurtle:
ROMs/kernels are written in C / C++. And are built/compiled usually from the terminal in a linux OS.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mik-el:
So Is the procedure to make Roms for

native

Android phones the same of the one to make Roms for

not-native

Android phones?

Right?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lolerpro8:
Well, yeah...

When you compile you rom you need to imstall ot this way:

You need 3 things:

1. Ext4 partition on your sdcard

2. Some recovery build for booting over haret ( you can take sd twrp's)

3. Your rom in flashable zip.

When you have all that, make a folder in your sd card, put your android flashable zip and extract your sd recovery there. Then run haret from that folder, and flash your android trough recovery. Then reboot, and go to the folder you have made for your android build, there should be a folder called NativeSD. Go in it an run haret an you will be booting in your android

ADD: You need to install w/ NaticeSD method only
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HypoTurtle:
In a way yes. A Rom is made up of a kernel which is bundled with a ramdisk (essentially boot instructions). to make a boot image.

On top of which is the system files which make up the OS itself. During compilation device specific details are taken from the files and baked in to the files that'll be running on the device itself.

The problem with making ROMs for non-Android devices is getting the device specific stuff - the HD2 is close enough / the same as a couple android phones (Nexus One / Desire S (??)) so getting these files was relatively easy.

You've mentioned haret.exe, which i believe just needs a rearranged ramdisk, other than being able to flash an open bootlader (magldr / lk in the HD2's case) that would be the only way to run android on a WM device.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lolerpro8:
