how do u short the data pins?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyler13:
To short the data pins, I actually cut a USB cable, stripped back the insulator, re-soldered the +5V and ground wires, soldered together the data pins on the microUSB side of the cable, and stagger cut the data wires on the other side. Prior to the re-soldering, I slipped some shrink tubing on one end of the cable to re-insulate everything. Not for the faint of heart. :D

Background for those that don't know... Typically, Android phones look for little to no resistance on the data pins to detect a high current charger. Any other load triggers USB mode since most PC's are only designed to supply 500mA via USB. I assume this is a safety issue to prevent overdrawing a PC's port. Apple operates differently. They look for some nominal resistance as USB and switch to fast charge under open or some higher resistance. Most chargers >500mA are designed for the iPhone market unless they explicitly state other compatibility. Therefore, the data pins are floating. Any charger can be used at its max rating if you trick the Android phone with the homemade cable described above. Of course, then it becomes a power-only cable, useless for data. Clearly, OEM chargers for Android phones short the data pins internally so your OEM cable can be used with a wall charger (fast) or with your PC for data connections and nominal (slow) charging.

So the powergen mentioned above has two 2.1A ports, one labeled NA (non-apple) and A (apple) so you don't need to worry about mix-n-match devices and cables. Any USB cable will fast charge on the appropriate port. With my homemade cable above, my Galaxy Nexus will fast charge on either port.

Fast forward to the G2... Just got it yesterday and while in the car, I noticed my homemade cable only permitted SLOW charge on either port. Huh. Kinda a head scratcher. I ran in the house and got the OEM LG cable and both ports worked with FAST charge. So I tried one more thing, I grabbed a regular USB cable and observed the following: the phone went into FAST charge on the apple port and SLOW charge on the non-apple port. I can only assume that LG is detecting fast charge in a different way. The fact that a standard USB cable doesn't work with the data pins shorted at the charger but the OEM cable does makes me think there is something about LG's cable that allows it to pull max power from the charger. FYI, I plugged the OEM LG cable into a 850mA Motorola AC charger and it registered as SLOW charge.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canecbr600:
I have pretty much the same thing, had a cable that would only do slow charge, so I stripped the wires back, and on the micro usb side I cut the green and white(data) and twisted them together. Now its fast charge no matter what charger I plug this cable into.... not sure why urs isn't....
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidiac13:
My AT&T branded charger doesn't give me the slow charge notification.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canecbr600:
Yes, but its not a 2 amp charger. We want a bigger fast charge vehicle charger...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaronInkjet:
I tried the USB plug in my car (Scion 2012) and two different Belkin cigarette/USB chargers today. The USB and one of the Belkins gave slow charging. The other Belkin did not -- worked fine. They were supposed to be identical, but I had suspected one was a fake. Guess I was right. :(

With rumors running abuzz about the next iteration of the nexus 10 being by Asus...

With ASUS being able to make a tablet (T100) with a full Windows 8.1 pro licence, Z3740 Atom SoC, a dock, all at a sub 350$...

What do you guys think the odds are that the next Nexus 10 sports a Bay Trail SoC (Z3740D to support 2560 x 1600 in order to avoid a downgrade)?

Those are more ASUS "features" than Google design features.

Google has a specific design standard that the vendor matches. All their capabilities are irrelevant if the feature is not one slated for the design by Google themselves.

So, yeah, zero.

Why do you think the docking stations for Nexus 7 took for ever and are still non-existant for Nexus 10? Google didn't really design for those features.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palingenesis:
I have the LG Nexus 4 and my screen was cracked recently. I dropped it while jogging. The screen still turns on and the touchscreen works (only where there are not any cracks), so everything appears to be working still. I have been shopping around for screen replacements but there are so many options and the prices vary so much that I am not sure which to buy. I am looking for the cheapest option of course. I do not mind replacing the screen on my own. I have found prices ranging from $30 to $300. Most are in the $100 range.

I watched a video on youtube on replacing it and they showed the replacing of the front of the phone. Is that what I need? The entire front end of the phone (screen and digitizer) or is there a cheap way of replacing the glass only? If you could, could you please reply to this with any feedback/tips and perhaps links to some good replacements from reputable only companies? I would appreciate it.

Here are a couple that I found, though I do not know if this would be enough.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Nexus-4-...er-Glass-Cover-Black-/231006405500#vi-content

This is for the glass screen only.

Since you have seen and maybe researched many screens, can you please tell me which ones the most non reflective, yet budget friendly?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noowb00:
The easier method is to replace the whole front panel which is also the most expensive. If you're thinking about replacing the glass only, you'd require to heat the glass from the display just to remove it because the whole thing is bonded by glue. Furthermore, I'm not sure myself whether the glass that they sell has it's digitizer with it because if I'm not mistaken, N4's glass is fused with the digitizer with (the zero-gap thing). I personally recommend replacing the whole front panel since it's way easier.

[HTC One X] Mr Davo:
Hi Everyone,

Originally when I got my One X I was able to plug it into my car stereo through a USB cable and the phone would act as a mass storage device. I would then navigate through my songs using the stereo's remote control - I could navigate through songs using the back and forward arrows, and through folders using the up and down arrows. Similarly when I plugged the phone into my computer I had the option of treating it like a mass storage device as well.

When I first bought the phone I believe that it had Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) installed, however I recently installed the Android Revolution HD ROM, and since installing it my car stereo is unable to read from the phone using a USB cable. Furthermore (and I believe this is related) whenever I plug my phone into a computer I am presented with "HTC Sync App", and do not appear to have a mass storage icon under "Computer" (or "My Computer").

Here are the full details of my ROM (and firmware) version:

Is there an app or a tweak of some sort that will allow me to connect my One X as a mass storage device to my car stereo again?

Other than this short coming the new ROM is an excellent innovation.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Davo

I recently acquired a nook HD, and I immediately went on to install CM 10.1.

Things were fine and dandy until I loaded up about a quarter of my e-book collection (roughly 3gb's) on to my Nook.

I had placed them into the external 32gb SD I had, and when I checked the storage stats, Aldiko had imported them into the internal storage space.

Immediately after I searched up solutions, I found leapinlar's SD swap for CM 10.1/10.2.

I ran it but nothing happened.

I am currently running CM 10.1.3 RC-2

It is rooted.

My CWM version is stated to be "EMMC CWM-based recovery v. 6.0.3.2"

I've tried all of the SD swap zip files loaded onto all sorts of locations.

I have tried many permutations of installation ordering.

I've cleared data, repaired permissions countless times.

At this point, this today marks two weeks since I ventured into this endeavor.

And for the longest time, I have given in.

I made an account on this forum to ask this question; to shout a plea for help.

Prior to making an account, I scoured this forum looking for answers--I found very little in terms of helpful information.

Someone enlighten me on the exact steps and the details of how they got this swapping concept to work.

[General Accessories] evil510:
Great timing with your post of this, vectron. I have a knock-off version of the same unit that I got off of ebay. I am actually in the process of making my own micro usb version that I can use in between the charge cable and the phone. I am awaiting for parts to arrive from china, so it will still be a while. Up until I took it apart and removed the usb ports, I was using it in between the charger and cable and it worked great. I agree that it is a "must have", especially for those trying to figure out an ideal charger/cable combination.....
[General Accessories] vectron:
Post details of your DIY!!! micro-usb update will be highly desirable!!! One connector is surface mount, the other one is through-hole on this device. Definitely feasible to remove and white-wire with micro-usb ;)

[General Accessories] JCreazy:
Would I be correct in assuming that the app that you are using basically gives the same information as this device?
[General Accessories] vectron:
Relatively speaking yes. But Galaxy Charging current app only works with Samsung Galaxy phones, and for example you will have to buy premium version to use it with older models like S3. And if you want to figure out your charging current on Nexus or any other tablet or iDevice - this voltage/current meter will still work without a need for an app. Also, very important, keep in mind that app gives you total current through the charger and the wire. Those are 2 variable and you will not know which one is bad until you break it up. Thus using both voltage/current meter and app gives you the most info when you troubleshooting your connection.

Not for me.

Based on Vectron's review, I ordered and received one from Amazon. I love it.

The information is interesting: on my Note 2, I use the app Galaxy Charging current lite

and it always reported '1680 mA' (yes, I kept hitting 'refresh'), while the usb current gadget displayed 1.1 A (and yes, I connected to a 2A wall charger).

So the app is not accurate.
[General Accessories] SiliconBug:

As far as I know the device does not provide that info, and the app has no way to guess it, unfortunately.

[General Accessories] dakota2808:
looks to me like the galaxy charging current app average (in mAh) is pretty accurate when compared to the charger doctor...good to know, albeit it rounds up.
[General Accessories] moeburn:
uh... no. While your algebra is correct, mAh/mA = h is only true if all other things are equal. All other things, in this case, being voltage. And they are not equal. The voltage of your battery is somewhere between 3.6 and 4.2 volts. The voltage of your *USB* charger is always 5 volts.

So to get the total amount of time it would take to charge your phone... you need POWAH!!!! (power)

Power (watts) = volts * amps

Total amount of power in my Galaxy S3's battery:

3.8v * 2100mAh = 7980mWh = 7.98Wh​

Total amount of power being delivered by my Samsung USB charger:

5v * 1A = 5W​

Total amount of time required to fully charge a completely dead Galaxy S3 battery, using a Samsung charger:

7.98Wh / 5W = 1.596h = 1 hour, 35 minutes, 45 seconds.

*gets very annoyed when people do not understand electricity*

**also, don't go around telling people "it's not the volts that kills you, it's the amps!" - it's neither. it's the watts.**
[General Accessories] vectron:
I agree, but you are missing a point. While a handful of people will understand these details, and not to insult everybody else - majority needs a simple basic "concept" formula to round off calculation, not to mention for some english is not even a first language. Otherwise, you need to continue with more formula correction factors to take into account heat dissipation and efficiency of conversion, and so on. Oh, also keep in mind that majority of people charge their phone when it's on and probably syncing all their social media updates in the background among other things that drain your battery while charging. How about factor in people using PC usb cables instead of a quality 24AWG gauge wire cables? Or all of those cheap ebay ac adapters? And so on...

Just makes it easy to simplify the equation instead of preaching EE101. No reason to get annoyed, especially around Holiday season :) Just trying to help people with hundreds of my reviews here on XDA :D
