Charging via Micro USB cable or USB 3.0??? topic

I had a question. I know our phones can charge using a standard Micro USB cable but will it charge at the full 2 amps or is a USB 3.0 cable required to utilize the full 2 amps?

I am using original Samsung charger.

Thanks!

Micro SD help? topic

So I'm having an issue with my 64 g micro SD in my sprint note 2. I can add things to it just fine, but after an hour or so it corrupts songs to 2 seconds and says "sorry, this audio file not supported". If I out folders in it, it empties them. If an app tries to add its data to it, it almost completely wipes it clean. It's formatted to fat32. I've never had problems with my 32 g SD card. I'm not certain of the brand, it just says "hc" on it. Any suggestions?

[Q] Tired to install new micro usb port topic

Hey everyone..

I tired to install a new micro usb port on my HD kindle fire 7'' '' Big Mistake '' though I have some soldering skill, this was crazy.. It seem like the solder they used was made steel and it didn't want to desolder.. I tried dipping solder wick in flux.. I got it off, but when doing so, I removed 2 solder pads and ripped another one..
The pads I remove are from the 4 pin to the usb port. I will post pictures.. I was wondering if someone can help me find where I can trace the pins to. Or share a way I can fix the pads themselves..
Please help...



Please look at picture and show me on the picture where I can trace to.. please

[Q] ROMs on Micro SD topic

I just got a Micro SD card today and have formatted it as NTFS (as suggested by Nvidia's Shield User Guide). The file structure is browsable and all appears well. However, the ROMs I have loaded onto it are not working despite them working perfectly fine if they are installed onto the built in memory.

I had previously read that ROMs worked off the Micro SD and would not have purchased a 64gb card otherwise. Is this possible without rooting the device? Please, help me get this working!

[Q] My External Micro SD card is locked up! Can't write to it (android 4.3) topic

I'm not sure if this is related to the 4.3 bug or not but I have the tmobile galaxy s4 and I can no longer modify anything on my external sd card. Everything still reads fine but it seems alot slower than before.

I tried using es file manager to delete/write , but it dosen't work. It will say deleted successfully but when i refresh, it reappears. When i try to create a new file it says "sorry, operation failed"

I also checked the permissions file and it says it has r/w access for external storage.


Is my card just dying or corrupted or what? How can I fix this?

I just want to be able to use it again.

I also tried formatting. When i do it on the phone it just freezes. When I do it on the pc, it says write protected.

I tried gparted as well but it hangs during detection.


This is the default micro sd card that came with the phone...

Micro HDMI out problems? Look here! (Nexus 10 as desktop PC) topic

Hey XDA!
[This is my first thread, so please excuse any abnormalities you may find here. Corrections/ help would be appreciated. Thanks!]

As tech has progressed in the last couple of years, I have come to replace my beloved nexus 10 with my ever-more-powerful LG G2.
This transition is soley because of spec enhancements in recent devices, but very recently I realised what a horrible waste of an amazing (and still somewhat powerful) device that is, and I'd decided to do something about it. So, I shelled out a few of my Great British pounds (less than £5) and bought myself a microHDMI cable, and a USB OTG cable. I found an old USB keyboard, USB mouse and powered USB hub (not sure if it's necessary to have a powered one, but its all I have to hand), and got going on my small project.

[TL;DR: Ive got an unused nexus 10 laying around and a few other PC peripherals, as well as a microHDMI cable and decided to start a little project]

I realized the nexus 10's potential because of all of the useful (and more importantly- seperate) ports it has:
- MicroHDMI out for a monitor/TV (not necessary)
- MicroUSB port w/ support for USB otg
- Pogo pin port for charging, so battery is not an issue.

All of these things together can be used for a portable android- powered PC! So I plugged in all of my cables, and thought I'd be ready to go, but of course, that would be too easy.

Things that worked:
- USB otg cable and respective devices (keyboard, mouse, 16gb USB stick)
- MicroHDMI video out (sorta)
- Pogo pin charger
Things that did NOT work:
-MicroHDMI video out (screen size/ratio/density)
-MicroHDMI audio out
-Easy usability (phablet-style stock ROM does not like mice.)

Fixes/ work arounds:

1. MicroHDMI audio out:
This was probably the easiest (and therefore first) fix. I remember reading on another forum about the same issue, and it is easily resolved by turning the nexus 10's volume all the way down before plugging the MicroHDMI cable in. Worked first time, like a charm. However, in some cases this does not work and may require flashing another ROM, I personally reccomend cm10.2's most recent stable rom, as it is exactly what I am using. (if you are looking for the same outcome as me, this rom maybe a requirement anyway)

2. Ease of use:
This part did require flashing a new ROM. I used CM10.2's stable build, and banks GApps. Other supported ROMs are listed in the thread linked in this "2. Ease of Use" section. I used the flashable zip file listed in this thread: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2451956 ), to change from the mouse-unfriendly phablet ui, to the mouse-friendly tablet UI. This made the nexus a lot more useable as an android desktop/portable PC.

3. MicroHDMI video out:
This is a little more awkward, but it is still relatively easy and do-able. I did a little searchng and found this post ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...786&page=3/#25 ) which links to an apk specifically made for fixing this purpose. I downloaded and installed the app (Named something like ScreenRes I think - the exact name escapes me) and checked the box which said "Resize the screen when HDMI state changes" and used these settings for a 39" 1080p screen:
- Screen height: 1080
- Screen width: 1920
- Screen density: 280
Unplugged and re-plugged the cable, and voila!
PLEASE NOTE: This apk does require root access, and I have ONLY tested it on the CM10.2 stable build. This is the ROM I reccomend for this project/purpose. Also, dont forget to thank sbradymobile for his easy-to-use app!

The end result? A very useful android PC attatched to a beautiful 39" display bringing new life into my once-dying nexus 10. It's a shame to replace the beautiful screen on this thing, however with a cheap tablet/phone stand you can take tablet away with you and a keyboard and mouse without loosing any settings, files or convenience for a more portable android PC. Granted, It's not the most beautiful looking thing, but with a little cable management tou can make a neat and tidy android PC set up.

This is particularly good for productivity (e.g with apps such as kingston office, or- creating threads like this on XDA :P ) as well as media consumption, for things such as movies and with apps such as cheapcast or droidmote you could make a nice mid-point between a chromecast and a fully fledged laptop/PC.
Sorry for such a long post, I just wanted to share this idea as even though I'm sure there are others similar to this, I think there are other people like me finding their tablet being used less and less.

Please feel free to leave your thoughts and questions below! Thanks!

Sorry for the long post

Micro SIM Larger than 32KB - 500 Contact Limit? topic

My Header is Wrong. Sorry for that. It Should be;

"Micro SIM Larger than 32KB - 250 Contact Limit?"

I have a Sprint HTC ONE MAX with a Lot More than 250 Contacts.

I'm looking to find a Micro SIM that's Larger than 32KB in size so I can have More than 250 Contact Limit.

I remember when people who had Phones way back, had More than 1,000 and 2 People I used to know had over 2,500 Contacts on their Phones.

I'm looking for a Micro SIM that will have More than 250 Contact Limit that will NOT make My Phone work ANY DIFFERENTLY than it's working right now.

Anyone with Good Information as to What Micro SIM that I can get and where to get it, Please let Me and Anyone Else that Reads This Post know as well. And Thank You for the Information that You can Provide to Us All.
