My desktop cradle is here!!!

Well, it took almost a month to get here but it arrived!
I bought 2 desktop cradles and a spare battery.
http://www.netimes.com/shop/desktop-cradle-w-2nd-battery-charger-for-htc-hd2-t8585-htc-leo-p-2457.html?cPath=80_731
It came all the way from HK.
I thought the phone would charge only using the power plug but you have to use the usb cable. The power plug is used only for charging the spare battery.
Here are some pictures of it standing on my office at work:

Looks very good quality. But it seems like its totally standing on MicroUSB no other support... i hope it will not damage MicroUSB port....
wat you think???

HD2 is so pretty!!!!

It stays very well. The place where it stands its very tight and the usb port is not the support of the device. It stays there good even without inserting it to the maximum. I'm quite happy with it.

Hey there...
Looks like the same cradle as the one I ordered. Still waiting for mine to arrive though. What is the build quality like?
David

The build quality is pretty good. Can't complain.
Its light, made of hard plastic and the sides have a silvery plastic cover.
Besides the silver sides (which give it a cool look) the rest is just hard plastic. On the bottom there are 6 rubbery stand points which give it a good grip on the desk.

Thanks... Wish my cradle had arrived - left my USB cable at work, so can't charge my phone!

Dont be so simple minded lol. Go buy yourself another cable for work and one for home ?

Well, that's why I bought the cradle!

How many hours it takes to fully charge the original battery?

I have the exact same one (I think), took me about two weeks to get it from Hong Kong to Norway..
The grip is firm, almost too firm for my likings.. Have to use both hands when lifting the phone off the cradle..
Question to lorin.bute: Have you experienced any problems when syncing with activesync using the cradle?? My computer recognizes the connection when I put the phone in the cradle, but I get a "time out error" when attempting to sync.. Works fine when using cable only.. Only tried on one computer though, and without the AC-adapter connected...
Speaking of which, are you sure the AC is just for charging the second battery?? I've allways thought that charging through USB doesn't give as much current (500 mAh or so?) as AC does...
One last thing: Do you have that INSANELY bright blue LED on the back/right hand side of the cradle?? It freaks me out!

Yes, the grip is quite strong.
I have no problems with the sync. I sync at home and it definitely works. At work, active sync runs but no items are synced. Everything works fine.
If i don't connect the cradle to the pc, the led doesn't turn on ... and there's no charge symbol on top and s2u2 does not show the battery. that for me meant that it doesn't charge with the power plug. Remember that i have the one with a spare battery charger.
Yes i do have the blue light... that goes all the way to the roof of the room
It doesn't bother me that much.

I haven't fully discharged it. When i do i'll let you know.

got my new dock today as well. Here are some (not so brilliant) pics

Is that the one with the audio output? Wasn't that offered only with the UK plug?

yes this one has the audio output, i'm currently charging using the usb cable although it did come with a uk plug.

Correction: It does charge only with the power plug. It wasn't before because i had the spare battery charging. Now its just perfect because i don't want it syncing all the time

I've also ordered the same style cradle with the OP. The total payment is just 30$. And as u said here, it seems to be worthy with that amount

The shipment costs 7 euros with the royal mail (which is very slow). I received it in almost a month. If you chose DHL for the shipment you get it in 5 days but you pay 20-30 euros.

Car chargers

Does anyone know of a car charger that fits in perfectly in the cig lighter in the car. All Incar chargers I have ever bought never fit in perfectly and with the slightest amount of touch lose power until I push it in again.
I want a nice snug fit just the the cig lighter has with its own lighter thing. I absiolutely hate the give/movement these incar chargers have.
Any ideas?

Hey there, i bought an adapter and just use my usb cable that came with the phone..
Its a tight fit with just a little movement. Never looses the connection, have had no problems

Belkin Micro USB charger
I use it with this http://www.fommy.co.uk/view-full-page.asp?divid=HTC&model=HTC+HD2&skuno=82268. The Belkin Micro charger can be bought from much anywhere and it works very well.

car charger
I use Igo chargers, never had problem, just buy new tip when you change phone. Don't have to carry charger for every phone. They have multi charger kit, comes with home,car, &tip, & retractable cord. Love it, they fit snug, with led lite. Quig

i got one of these for 3 bucks on sale. and for the price it friggin rules!!!

I use a dual USB car charger from Griffin Technology known as the powerjolt.
http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powerjolt-dual-universal
No other car charger fits my cigarette lighter slot as well. I think this is quite tight but can still pop out. My high tech solution is to stick a bit of card in there with the cahrger. It works perfectly and doesn't need to be wedged in very far to create a rock solid connection.

Works well, snug fit too.

The leo ´s plastic parts are covered by some kinda smooth coating. I wonder if it takes damage if you use car holders (especially the brodit one - I think I might buy this one). What do you guys say? Has anyone experiences with this?

is 500mA enough to charge the phone + use navigation or play music?

I bought this one at walmart on our way out of town one day to run my HD2 and my daughters iPhone 3G...My HD2 always overheats when I use it (the LED flashes orange and green after about 15-20 minutes) Even if I dont have anything else plugged into it.
Mine may be an isolated issue (though I dont see how)...but I dont know if I would recommend this...as overheating the battery often cannot be good in the long run.

Does this sit flush on the top of the lighter jack?...that would be the perfect solution so I could unplug the cable but leave the adapter in and still be able to close the ashtray (change drawer) lid.
...Have you had any power or overheating issues?...(see my post above)
It looks like the price in your link has gone up to 12.99...but a quick google search gave me a price of 5.99+free shipping

canadian captivate download mode usb jig no soldering

If you have a samsung galaxy s captivate i896 and have :
phone - ! - computer
or
the phone will not go into download mode and you have tried all button combos
this is what you need to do
go to your local THE SOURCE store and buy
nexxtech resistor value package 1/4 WATT 5% CARBON RESISTORS $5.99

1) open up the package and find two wires with colour combination
BROWN - GREEN - YELLOW - GOLD (gold is the last one on all of them )
the two wires are 150K each combined equal 300K ohms
2) twist one end of each wire togather and then bend the entire piece into a U shape
View attachment 463946
3) take the U shape and wrap tape around it only leaving a little bit of metal ends exposed
View attachment 463947
View attachment 463948
4) take a micro usb wire ( i used the factory cable included with phone ) and cut the end that you plug into your phone to charge off take a blade and peel away all the plastic until you can see metal and and circut board attached
5) break-off the circut board untill all you can see is the metal plug that goes into your phone and 5 little metal strips on the other end
View attachment 463949
6) remove the battery sd and sim out of your phone
plug in the micro usb plug you just stripped into the phone
put in the battery ( just the battery no sim no sd )
7) now take the taped wires in a U shape and touch one end to the metal strip closest to the headphone jack and take the other end and touch the second metal strip closest to the headphone jack on the micro usb plug hold steady for couple of seconds and you should have download mode
( do not touch metal ends, hold taped sections only)
If you see phone - ! - computer or your phone starts up but not in download mode you did not hold the wires to the plug steady enough take out battery put battery back in and try again

Just a note, not all MicroUSB cables have a nice pin-out like the one you have there. Most of the MicroUSB to USB cables I've seen don't utilize pin 5, so getting access to that pin can sometimes be a PITA.
Glad you got one made up though!

the usb cable i stripped was the factory cable that comes with the captivate edited orginal post to clarify norcal einstein thanks for the pointer

attached is a jpg i made showing clearly which pins need to be connected together on a micro-usb "plug-in" as shown in the above post
i know there is already an image, just it's hard to see and i know finding clear pictures on the internet isn't easy

thanks... ill be hitting radio shack when they open...

Wow, it worked! I thought for sure my Fascinate was bricked. Thanks for the info.
When I was in The Source buying the resistors, I saw a product called 'iGo Power Tips', which allow you to charge virtually all your gadgets from a single charger. It's marketed toward people who will be traveling overseas where the power outlets are different. Anyway, one of the Power Tips supports a micro-USB connection and sells for about $6. Rather than tearing apart my power cord, etc. (which is about $20-$30 around here), I just bought one of these puppies and it did the job. I hope this can save someone a couple of bucks.
Thanks again.
Darryl

compare to the price you paid, it is good to buy it on ebay. it is cheaper and solid build. just search for "micro usb jig".

Edited by the author

I bought 4 micro usb plugs for $2.95 on ebay and spent like $3.50 for the resistors (though enough for 3 jigs) so cost me like $2.15 per jig. Would have cost liek $10-$15 to ship a jig to where i live -_-;

Yeah, I did the same thing, except I didn't look very hard at the resistors in that pack, and got 2 packs so I could have 3x100k. My USB plug is pretty ugly and cheap, and pin 5 is actually on the other side of my plug (I think it's 1 and 5 on the back, and 2,3,4 on the front). But it works, and that's all that matters - got me into download mode after an Odin 1 Click crash at boot.bin totally borked my phone, and my computer couldn't even see it when it was connected (so one click unbrick obviously wouldn't work, it couldn't see the phone).

Thanks mate.. It worked like a charm. I had tried all possible combination button but didn't worked so finally did this method and it worked.. M so happy to get my Galaxy S back..

Considering myself as a semi-experienced flasher, I was skeptical............but it is so easy to hit the contacts that this is a no brainer!!! I actually had free repair set up with Samsung..yes, believe it that they can be so good.......but this did the trick
Forget all the ebay built ones............if you have a RadioShack even 1 hr away, its worth the drive and the $2 or so for this whole fix.
EDIT: I must say that I first saw this one you tube on a video by triggerhappy22, but seeing it here also, made me less skeptical.
And a tip: You can charge the phone even when you are in the soft brick mode. It so happened that my battery was discharged when I was trying various methods to unbrick. I did not realize since the brick screen stays on whenever you connect to the computer via usb. If you take it off the computer and the phone goes black, your battery needs to be charged. So, put it on an external charger for about 1 hour, and you will have enough juice to check if you can get to download mode....
Good luck !!
Second EDIT:: I have ATT CAPTIVATE.so also works in USA !!

Jig works on any Samsung Galaxy S phone, I know it works on Galaxy S II international so I assume it works on any other Galaxy S II. Don't know if it works on Galaxy Note, but probably does considering its basically the same phone bigger screen.
Edit: It works on a TON of samsung products.
Any Galaxy S and Galaxy S II variants
Infuse 4G
Nexus S
Droid Charge
S5830
Impression (SGH-A877)
Galaxy Player
Galaxy Prevail.

The Canadian captivate is the same as the united States captivate!

usb looks like this
hi, unfortunately my captivate (build 1011) is hard bricked. I'm trying the solder less methods. first I followed the instruction from forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889128 but still no result.
now I follow ur instruction. I cut the usb cable and made a 301k wire jig. my usb now looks like this
with the two ends of wire jig do I have to touch just the metal wires of usb? or have to insert them into the tiny holes from the metal wires come out?

it looks like you may have accidentally shorted some of the connections by having the wires or connectors touching each other. this will stop the jig from working, as will dirt or oil on the contacts and wires.
it shouldn't matter whether you touch the wires or the back of the connector where the wire is attached, as long as it is a good connection. inserting into holes is okay, but don't push too hard or you can break the connector contacts.

Jig works on the galaxy series, not sure about the others. You'd have to check in the Wave section.

[Q] Charging Cable Comes Unplugged?

Does anyone have trouble with their charging cable (micro usb end) coming unplugged/slightly disconnected from the phone during charging? If mine isn't exactly perfect or you ever so slightly bump the phone, it will become unplugged. Any chance the manufacturer's warranty could cover this? I leave it plugged in overnight and wake up to see that only charged 55% because gravity shifted the cable. Definitely cannot use the phone while charging either. Ugh.

I've had to mangle every cable I have with scissors and sandpaper.

Wow mikey.....would be much easier if they let you have sharp knives in the "hospital"

Why don't you just buy another OEM cable. I got 2 of them last week from Amazon for a little more than $2 each.
They were exactly the same as the OEM 's

I had that issue on my captivate too. Charging door would be completely open but it seemed the cable just wouldn't stay in place. I would have to flip it so that the loose part would be on the bottom whenever I used it while charging. It seems that the port is just poorly designed because other cables would do the same thing.
Sent from my Inspire "4g" using XDA app

Are you sure the door is open completely? I was sure mine was too but you really have to put some pressure on it to get it all the way. There is a distinctive click when it reaches full open position.

Yep clicked and every thing it seemed like when plugged in only a part of the metal clips in the cable would actually clip in.
Sent from my Inspire "4G" using XDA app

Yes, I am sure the door is completely open. I can shove the cable all the way in, there is just no force to keep it there. It used to just be a minor problem, but lately it is getting worse.

I have the same problem. Every time I move the phone while it's plugged in, the phone stops charging or loses it's connection to my pc.

I have found the problem is the actual port not the cable. If you use any cable other than the OEM it will stretch the port making the OEM cable loose. I was able to fix this by VERY VERY VERY CAREFULLY with a sharp strong knife by gently prying the top of the port inward to collapse it so the 2 little tabs on the OEM cable to catch. Hope this helps.

I did the exact same thing, just using a small flathead screwdriver from an eyeglass repair kit to bend the micro usb port inward a little bit. I also used a safety pin to gently pry up on the tabs (the ones seen in Mikey's pic) of the micro usb plug itself.

I had that problem with the stock cable. I sharpened a staple and used it to bend the pins (on the cable's micro end). That worked for a couple days but it stopped working again.
With the right cable, I don't have trouble any more. I found this "solution" on accident. I needed some more USB micro cables, so I checked out monoprice, of course. I got some gold plated (with ferrite) and some regular cables. The regular ones hold a little better than the original, but not much. The gold plated are outstanding though. I can hang my phone by just the cable and shake it around without it coming off. I only bought and tried the 1.5ft and 6ft, but they are both exactly the same besides cord length. Any length should work, but I promise nothing! You will have to cut off some of the end to make it fit though. I used a razor blade and sliced the edge plastic right off, super easy. I wouldn't even consider it an issue, but you will have to do it, especially if you have a case.
tl;dr: if you have trouble with your cable, get some gold plated ones from monoprice.com. Here's the 6ft cable: (you have to append it to monoprice.com, not enough posts to post link) /products/product.asp?c_id=103&cp_id=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5458&seq=1&format=2

My gf cable is loose but mine fits tightly. Same phones btw. I dont think all cables are created equal

I only have the problem when the phone is in a case ...which is why I take it out of the case whenever I connect it to a computer.
Currently using the Body Glove case.

Ok, here is another scenario. Sister bought a new captivate two weeks ago and has had the same problem. But a few days ago, it just started working fine and holding. Or, at least that is what I am told. How does that happened? This is confusing!

How To: R&R USB charge connector port.

I purchased my International Note in May and love it. It's an amazing replacement for my Dell Streak 5. A few weeks back I was charging it via my PS3 and it couldn't decide if it was unplugged/plugged in. At that point it would intermittently charge, and then things got worse when it would think it was plugged into the car dock or it would load the Samsung audio hub.
I did some research and narrowed it down to the USB hub (duh)... I tried cleaning the USB cable and port connections with no results. I figured out I could shut the phone off, plug in the USB and it would charge the battery but it would still randomly load and close the dock apps, or turn on/off the screen randomly. The phone was almost useless at that point.
If you are dealing with the above symptoms, all my research and experience points squarely to replacing the "Charge Connector Port USB Flex Cable" to fix these problems. From what I've read this problem is not an isolated Note problem, or even isolated to just Samsung and can be narrowed down to the 3rd and 4th pin.
Anyway, I found a few retailers on eBay selling the part I figured I needed for fairly reasonable prices. I bought one from a US based retailer, and one from one based out of China. Similar prices from both, and only one day difference in delivery days. I also purchased a iPhone tool kit on eBay for a whopping $5. You need a small Phillips screwdriver, a pair of tweezers, and a pry tool to pop off the flex cables. Oh, and guitar pick. We'll get to that later.
Tools and the Note

Ok, now, on to this tutorial type thing.
To get started - shut off your phone, and pop off the battery cover. Remove the pen, battery, sim and SD card and set them aside. At this point you'll see nine screws that secure the rear portion of the phone to the metal frame. I used the screwdriver to loosen them to the point of almost being free and then held onto them with the tweezers, then put them in a lens filter case. I lost one.
After the 9 screws have been removed it's time to use the guitar pick to separate the two pieces of the phone. Holding the phone with the screen towards you, slide the pick in on either the volume rocker side, or power button side. You can then slide the pick down towards the bottom of the phone. It may take a bit of work, but just be patient and take your time. Work the sides and bottom of the bezel and it will pop free much like the battery cover does.
Stairway to Heaven
Now, you will be greeted by the powerful innards of the Note!
At this point of the job you will need that nifty little pry tool and more patience. There are 3 screws located on the housing that the speaker is molded into that cover the USB port. Remove those screws, and you'll see the antenna cable attachment and flex cable. Initially I removed all the flex cables. I looked closer and realized all you need to do is remove the antenna cable mounted to the charge port and pop free the two flex cables at the bottom of the phone and one screw on the power button side of the phone.
Three screws to remove the speaker housing.
Once this screw had been removed you can slide the flex cable attached to the charge port free and remove the old part.
Take the new part, slide the flex cable under, bend it up and connect the two flex cables and antenna. Make sure these are secure, the smaller flex cable powers your capacitive buttons! Now, it is just a matter of working in reverse.
I found this to be a very simple job and better than that my Note is back to being awesome again. All of the problems previously mentioned are gone. The phone charges just as it should and everything is right in the world.
And, just for your consideration I included pictures comparing the parts from the different suppliers to the OEM version. I am using the Chinese version as it seemed to be a better constructed piece. Search for them on eBay as "easytradingco".
Left - Chinese, Top right - OEM, Bottom Right - USA
If anyone has questions, don't hesitate to ask! Hope this helps!

I'm gonna be doing this in about 2 minutes and I'm scared as hell. If anybody has any special tips not mentioned above please post below.
ok..i'm diving in!
OK. I did it but I couldn't put it back together (and I also lost a screw! but found it again..lucky me!)
When you slide the housing back in, start from the top of the phone and work to the bottom. The bottom slides back very easily but the top is extremely tricky.
I'm surprised no one else had to replace the usb charging port?
THANK THE LORD!!! IT'S ALIVE! Thanks to Rosh I resuscitated my phone! I'm totally gonna buy another spare part.
And I'm probably gonna buy a white housing to mix and match parts.
Anways, thanks Rosh!
This is the part I bought mine from. Like I said, I'm gonna buy another. I couldn't flash certain ROMs without fixing this first.

Glad I could help, leafsacc!

I changed mine a couple weeks ago, the only thing I noticed different, BOTH boards were stamped GT-7000/I something with a date.
Both boards look identical, but, the one that I took out of the Note, appeared like the one in your upper right photo. "Gray tape" or whatever
it is, and the new one does not. Since replacing it with the one that looks similar to the one in your lower left photo, the signal level on
my note is a little iffy in spots, where it wasn't before. I'm guessing that the one I ordered, from China...may not quite be like the one
that was the OEM version (my note is the international version, Amazon Germany).
tnx
