So apparently my charger broke. Connected to the wall neither my phone nor my girlfriend's Fascinate will charge. Plugged into the computer nothing happens either.
Was wondering what I should do.
1. Are chargers covered under warranty? I have extended warranty/asurion full coverage.
2. What are the best replacement chargers? I'd prefer something from Verizon because I'd rather go to the store tomorrow and pick it up than wait for the charger to be shipped and delivered.
Any other help is much appreciated!
Also does anyone know the length of the charger cable that comes with the phone?
Verizon Wireless online shows different chargers/micro usb cables ranging from 9 feet, 6 feet, 3 feet, and 12 inches.
I bought a spare from eBay for $6 and its the exact same as the one that came with the phone.
i work for verizon and yes your charger has a one year warranty. bring it into any corporate store and they should replace it as long as it is not physically broken. if you have any probs replacing it PM me

A month after getting the phone my chsrger wires have already started showing at the phone end just from bending the wire to plug it in and place it on the desk. Would this be covered?

Are you saying that the insulation is breaking and you can see the actual inside wiring? If so then technically that would be considered physical damage but most corporate reps (or at least the managers) will exchange it as a one time courtesy. If you want you can pm me your number and I will stop by work tomorrow n put a remark stating that your charger started to fray n that if it continues to replace it as one time courtesy lol. If you live near delaware you can pm me n I will let you know which store to go to for a replacement

Sadly I live in PA but its not the wires showing its the steel between the outside casing and the inside wires. Kind of hard to explain.

Honestly I would just bring it in. if you have a hard time replacing it just pm me and I will help you out. I don't mind replacing things for customers because its probably been assembled in some third world country by a kid they pay 10 cents an hour to. Verizon is a huge company that can afford to replace a charger to a person that pays like $100 a month for cell service

If it's just the cable (sounds like it) then you could buy a microUSB cord for cheap at monoprice.com.

it's covered.
Unfortunately the Verizon Wireless store I went to wouldn't replace it. My wires were fraying and they said even though I'm under warranty they couldn't replace it.
Had to buy $30 travel charger :/
they suck! they are a bunch of corporate dogs licking their masters cracks! They could have at least given you a charger out of the returns and just put that one in the box! Horrible cust service
For $30 you could have gotten 2 cla adapters, 3 wall chargers and 5, 6' USB cables with shipping from monoprice.com

I think the google desktop dock is way to expensive, as i only need it as a charger and have no need for the A2DP function.
But all the cheap dock's on ebay uses the USB connection and not the dock pins, has anybody found a cheap dock that has dock pins connection?
It's much more convenient to be able to just drop the phone in a dock instead of needing to connect the phone to a dock, and be able to use the dock mode is a plus when you use it as an alarm clock.
I was wondering the same thing, is it that hard to reproduce that? I havnt seen anything besides the usb ones either and i have heard it can screw up the usb connection of n1s so didnt want to buy one of those
Exactly the same thoughts here
does anyone have specs of which pins do what? (i.e. do you apply +5 v to pin 1, ground to pin2, etc)
i've got some ideas on a homebrew dock.

Search for the thread: "Dock Pinout"
It seams that it alot harder, that there is a binary communication in one of the pins, not just a current that tells it to go into dock mode...
Doh! delete my post haha.

brought last week http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/330770220824?item=330770220824
Dock US $15.00
Shipping US $8.46 (Germany)
Thats €18,65 (a new one costs 60€ at launch day ..)
I bought the dock when I first got the nexus one. If you guys get one for cheap and want to continue using the Nexus One, go for it. I mean the phone does slide down easly if the bump against the dock. But the lack of wear on the usb connector is well worth it.
Do you mind giving any feedback on this unit? I want to buy a separate charger cause I have a spare battery and OEM dock the previous owner bought new with the phone but I want to be able to charge the spare battery without swapping back and forth from the phone. Its a real hassle. I don't want to buy a charger that ends up cooking the battery.

I finally found a HDMI cable locally.
That way if it did not work, I could return it.
I got it at WAL-MART. I looked at my local WAL-MART they do not carry this item. I found it at a WAL-MART when I was out of town this weekend, When I was walking around the electronics area.
I saw all the people with mix results so I held off for a quality cable from a company I can trust and been making cables for a long time.
I got the:
BELKIN - HIGH SPEED HDMI CABLE WITH HDMI MICRO CONNECTOR.
6FT. OR 1.8M
$30.00
I just tested it out for 5 minutes last night. It worked great. I set the HDMI setting to automatic. As soon as I plug cable in it worked.
I was saying, Awesome!!!
Hopefully this helps people who need the cable and are scared of what cheap cables can do to expensive electronics.
Running stock Gingerbread Rom.

That's what I'm sayin'! They all work the same. I'm not gonna spend 10x the price on something that won't work any better. To me, 1080p, is 1080p.
i can guarantee the $3 ones wont last..probably from ebay..lol but thats where i got mine from, cost me bout 10 bucks about two months ago and still works, i use it all the time especially weekends, make sure to check buyers feedback and also u can notice a crappy cable by looking at it...just be carefull when pickin but it's best to get one from a local store or t-mobile website
I had some money coming my way that I was not counting on so I say what the heck!!!
I saw all the complaints if all those cheap cables. I did not want to be one of those people.

I've used my $3 cable almost everyday since receiving it 2 weeks ago and I've had no problems at all.
The cable actually looks like good quality....I got it from Hand Held Items. I'm usually the first to say when something looks cheap, but this $3 cable looks the exact opposite. I'm still shocked that stores can make money selling a HDMI phone cable for $30. What a ripoff....smdh
But I'm not knocking anybody who purchased that $30 cable, by all means if you got the money and want to do it .... perfect!

I understand...Im not trying to sell anyone anything, I just wanted anyone that may be in the market for a cheap HDMI cable to know where I got mine from. I'll admit, some of the reviews aren't so great, but there are more 5 ratings than 1 ratings. I guess I have one of the 'Good' cables.
Nonetheless, good luck with any decision you guys make.
I got HDMI cable off ebay for me and my dad for $1 each lol, still working strong, but I cant say these $3 ones for our phones will be the same, I will be picking one up for mine soon.
I return mine. I am trying cheaper cables now that I know my phones HDMI port works. The Belkin one was a perfect fit.

6+ft mini-hdmi to hdmi male for less than $7.
Food for thought... seems none of you have heard of the future of internet shipping -- NewEgg... quality cable if you ask me, have 3+ of the normal hdmi and they sell adapters if you already have a hdmi cord, because how many times do you hook up your phone to a tv anyways?

I hope this is what you are looking for...it's about as close as you are going to find to original and I use 2 of them so I know they work for data and charging.
i bought mine
my stock one got chewed up by my dog, i found that most micro-usb cables in my house only worked for charging,
finding one on ebay worked best. it looked more generic than most, no stickers on the back, but oddly enough, its the same (exterior looking) one that came with my galaxy tab.
my choice: ebay- cheap and quick shipping
Get it from samsung

I'm sure its good quality and all, but I paid under $10 for the one I got from Amazon.com (link above to the other thread) and it has worked for everything just fine. I have 2 of them now and I use them both for charging and data transfer all of the time. I guess it all depends on personal preference and how much you are willing to pay, but for $30 you can get three cables (and the 1 amp chargers with them) from Amazon if you are willing to wait 3 or 4 days for delivery. Of course, there is always the chance of getting a bad one when the seller sells 100s or 1000s of them but the same holds true for Radio Shack. I can only report the results I got.
I think the OP should buy one from Amazon.com ($10) and send me $10 also...still saving $10 in the process.
I prefer the stock SGH-i777 charger and cable over the SGH-i727 ones. You can get factory 2nd OEM ones on ebay for less than $5 with free shipping.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Samsung...Accessories&hash=item2a1a6cb3f6#ht_1490wt_905
Just a warning. Factory second means they have some scratches on the plastic charger. But the cables were brand spanking new. I ordered 3 of these. The SGH-i777 cables are a tad longer and feels more durable.
Get one here. 6ft gold plated for mega cheap.

You should never pay more than this for a silly cable. I have at least 4 of these and never had any problems.

soooo, ive not had the epic for quite some time, but realized that this dock was still chilling on my desk. ill give it away free if someone wants to paypal the shipping price. i think i can ship it for 8 bucks plus a dollar to cover the paypal fee.
any takers, let me know. i will add some pics shortly.
although it is not in the picture because it is unplugged, it comes with a 12v dc usb charger that plugs in to the back for the dock to charge the phone. this can also charge the phone solo. i will send it too.
it needs an aux cable to do audio out. i bought the aux cable seprately, so i will keep that.

When I bought the G3 they (Best Buy) told me it charges right out the box. So what I do, I buy the Duracell wireless charger, put my phone on it and what do you know nothing happens. So I go to an ATT store and ask them why do we have a back plate with prones to charge but it doesn't charge they said that it should be charging and that maybe I had a defective charging station. So they looked further and found out I needed the wireless folio case. So it doesn't charge out the box. So they gave me 50% off the folio case for telling me it charges out the box. Now I have to wait 3-5 days to charge wireless. And now I cant even use my Spigen cases to charge my phone wirelessly!! Ma'an what a day.lol

At least they sold you the right charging mat. Only the AT&T version uses the power mat technology. All the other G3 versions out there use Qi charging. But none of the US versions come with the charging components in the case "out of the box." I guess the wireless companies want to force you to buy another case.
50% off of a circle folio is not bad at all. I need to purchase one as I just for a powermat from at&t for 10! Clearance package for the iPhone 4s but the powermat is the same. Now I just need to purchase the case to charge wirelessly.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

This is accurate. For a limited time there is an offer of 50% off of an accessory with a LG G3 purchase...the folio case is included. Hopefully some business in the Asian Pacific Rim will develop a replacement back housing for our AT&T G3 variants so that powermat will work without a flip case.

That's interesting. I've tried three corporate stores in Chicago, and none had them. On the website, they're listed as "online only." I also tried doing the live chat to see if they could tell me where the cases might be in stock, and was told they're available online only. Clearly that's not true, but I wish there were a way to find out what stores have them.
The ones at the corporate store are the one whites. I don't believe they have the contacts for nfc or wireless charging. The one online is the Grey model. It states pma ready.

Wow, I'm here in Massachusetts. The corporate closest to my house had the PMA QC cases and the powermats.. I assumed that all corporate stores would be similar.
I'm gonna have to make a trip to the store and see if I can find one then.

There is a way. Go to att.com and place it in your cart. Proceed to checkout and for shipping, select in-store pickup. It will prompt for a zip code and then tell you the closest stores that have it in stock.

Replacing back
I have a question... Could one just buy a replacement back off of eBay for a carrier that supports qi charging...like say t-mobile, and switch it with the att battery cover? Or are there internal components required as well?
