usb connector...somewhat fixed

okay so i had been able to charge my phone recently, but the tilt wouldn't connect to the computer (sync)
so i read the wiki and what not
i took off the rubber cover on the pins and noticed one was bent a little...so i unbent it and connected it back to the usb connection WITHOUT the rubber cover...and voila, it now syncs with the pc
i then tried putting the rubber cover back on and it WONT sync back with the pc
it only works WITHOUT the rubber cover now....any suggestions? should i just leave it like this?

Well, if it works without the rubber cover and doesn't work with the rubber cover, my suggestion would be to leave the rubber cover off. That is of course if you want it to work.

[Q] [q] is there any way to flip the screen?

Hi,
One of the thing I do not like with the i9000 is the stupid fact that the micro-usb connector
is located on the top of the device, basically because my car charger is or too short, or seems to be "almost broken" when dock it to the upper side of the device.
What i want to do is to put the device up-side-down in my car holder, so the connectror
will be at the bottom, but I need a solution that can flip all the apps by 360 degree...
Is that solution available? something that force the change for all the apps? so the home button will be on top of the device?
Thanks,
Tomer

i'm loooking for the same thing, nothing yet

The Tab can rotate 360 degrees, so it should be possible to do on the SGS too. 2.2 should enable it, though I doubt it..

seems like it can be done , bit over my head though.

Would love to see that done to the Galaxy S, because it would make it really easy to build a custom dock (want to have sth. like a long bench for my PSP alongside with the Galaxy S and maybe my Sansa e250, would be made out of Aluminium with the Charging Connectors fixed into place, maybe by buying secondary USB Cable and Charger to make it into one Cable so that the Phone charges everytime but also can with the same Cable be connected to PC, some sort of Hybrid thing.)

Hardware trouble with microphone and USB.

It started about 1-month ago, the microphone quit working. I purchased another usb/microphone connector from EBAY, installed, and all was good until the cheap USB port literally came off the solder. Purchased another and installed, but this time the black clip that holds the flex cable in place broke off. After several attempts with tape, the connector stayed in place, but the phone would only charge and sporadically allow me to use the phones full USB functions.
Right now the black connector is still broken off, the phone will only charge so no USB functions like fast charge, and the microphone works randomly. Is there an easy fix to reconnect the black clip? Actually, I've lost the black clip now, and don't think that the tape is doing a good job at all.
Another strange behavior was when the phones case was pressing against like usb/mic that was installed, it would not work anymore. It was almost like there was a short somewhere.

[Q] How do you remove the Antenna Cable in the Xperia Z

I've searched for a long while for help with this but I'm giving in now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/help/how-to-transfer-antennas-one-xperia-z-to-t2807997
This thread explains the problem I'm having but I couldn't follow the solution like the other guy could. In short how do I remove and then refit the antenna cable from my old phone case to the new one? I've managed to remove the black plastic cover over it but it still won't budge and in trying to make it budge I managed to pull of the gold connector from the wire.
Which actually brings me onto two more quick questions. I'm assuming the cable will still be good if I just put the gold connector back on the end? But how would you suggest I do so? Also in taking apart my phone I put a few wholes in the foil on the bottom of the battery whilst trying to leverage it out, is the battery still safe to use? It also has a few scratches/light dents on the side from the same process.

Good mount with dual screen? Maybe even wireless charging?

I was thinking of getting a mount that allows me to mount when in dual screen. Maybe even use while in dual screen.
One possibility was a mount for a tablet.
Maybe this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00585CLR2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
I haven't found a mount for a tablet that also has wireless charging.
It is useful to be able to use dual screen, but my main reason is that I don't what to take the phone in an out of the case because of reports of charging port failing.
UPDATE: I did get the mount above, and it works very well. I can mount with the dual screen (or without), while screen is open, both in landscape and portrait. The phone sits quite sturdy. And, no problem to connect power. It is nice to have navigation on one screen, and music/podcast on the other.

This is the one I have. I put the main phone in it and open the dual to the side. Works fine.

You are right. When the dual screen is 180 degrees open, there's still enough room to latch on. Worked today with my regular phone holder. Not amazingly stable, though.

Mine is pretty tight. So not much different for me.

would anyone try a velcro mount??
so the back of the dual screen case would have a permanent velcro thin pad silicone on, glued on, the more expensive baby version of the velcro strips, that is super soft, the hooks side will be on the car mount.
this way both screens can be on, like maps wide view.
not sure how many strips will be safe enough and probably would look super ugly but functional

Nah. My existing mount works fine

any chance you can show pics of the phone grip from the side or back? im just thinking with all the glass, one bump and drop and its cracks everywhere

Using my regular mount, phone isn't very secure. Works in a pinch.
The mount mentioned above works very well.

The one I bought on Amazon isn't available any more, but it was like the one below. It grips the side and still lets the screen open like others said. not great, but OK. Only came out once. Not sure if I can get a photo of it sitting in the case, but i'll see.
