HI guys im wondering where can i find the best hdmi cords for my G2X phonw. I recently ordered one in amazon and arrived today but wasnt the same connection to my phone :/. Im pretty pissed off since was up for it, so now im posting this thread to see if any one can direct me to some good hmdi cords of the G2X? thank u for ure help.
i orderd an iogear cable from newegg it was like 12 buck free shipping. Works perfect. sorry cant post links yet
I got a 6' cable for $3 after shipping from Amazon. I should get mine in a couple days. It said it was for G2x; I hope it fits my phone!
whatever you do, stay away from the monoprice cables.. There are multiple posts about their cables frying the phone.
To input my two cents, don't buy a cable that reads gold plated or anything of the like. Off the top of my head I can think of Monster Cables. I don't know about MicroHDMI and Monster Cables.
Why? Well, digital cables only need to pass 1s and 0s (i.e. binary). Back in the day with analog cables, the wires used in cables really were effective. Nowadays, simple silver will get the job done the same as gold-plated / gold-tipped / dipped-in-gold cables.
I have a 3 part response to the post above.
1. Used to work at Circuit City, and we were, pretty much told to push cables, and that type of accessory. Why? Because the cost on say a 4" RCA Video cable was $7 when they would sell them to customers for $70. Yup. I purchase a $70 dollar Top of the Line Monster Cable Video only RCA cable back in the day for $7 bones. Cables are a big business.
2.Plenty of people, I know that work at electronic stores, say that when purchasing a HDMI cable, you don't need to spend anything more than $20 bux.
As long as its under 14'.
3.Silver is actually a better conductor of electricity than gold. I don't know how much better, it actually is. The reason they don't use Silver for plating cables and such, is becuase it oxidizes. Gold doesn't.
I order all my cables from monoprice.com

In what way did it not fit? Micro HDMI is Micro HDMI there is not varying versions its all the same size. Now if you are saying the surrounding rubber wouldn't allow you to plug it into the socket I can understand but the actual socket is all the same.

I have a problem with all my usb cables. They all worked fine, then they started to become loose where I had to wiggle it to charge. I then brought another one, it wotked perfectly fine, very stable. Now after like a week or two it started to become a loose. I could wiggle it around easily. Now my other usb cables dont even charge. I tried it on two other phones and its the same thing. Any ideas?

A common problem with micro USBs from what I've experienced. I'm saying it based on both my wife's Vibrant and my G2x. I bought the replacement originals from each company but same results.

I buy all my cables (cat5, hdmi, usb, coax, etc) from Monoprice (add a .com to the end - I am still a newbie so can't post links) whenever possible. Great quality at very reasonable prices.

As far as i know, all USB cables are the exact same...
There is definitely a difference in quality, but I haven't had any problems sticking with any supplied cable. I did have some issues with my 3 for a dollar eBay crap, and my walmart brand cable though.
Edit, by supplied cable i mean any cable from a known manufacturer. Amazon brand cables seem to work fine for me, usually i use that or my old motorola cable.
I use my old Motorola cable because I got my GS3 as an exchange from Verizon. I have also used my kindle fire cable and noticed no difference. As said above a crap 3 dollar cable may not but the other should.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good low priced headset for the 360. Or if you know one that works for the PS3 and 360 that would be good.

I don't know if the 360 uses Bluetooth but any Bluetooth headset will work with a ps3.

Turtle beaches. I think I have the x 12's,but I'm not sure.
Make sure you youtube the video on how to use them simultaneously with hdmi output. You have to use the composite cable that came with your xbox, and you need to pop off the plastic housing on the xbox end with a butter knife to get it all to fit. This way you dont have to spend any extra $$ on various cables.
Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.
Not saying Amazon reviews are the most legit, but the X12's have better reviews than the AX120's. I've never bought from the site that I linked by the way, I just saw them there for cheap. And like someone already mentioned, you have to use the composite cable that came with the XBox if you use HDMI. If you don't use HDMI, don't worry about anything. If you do, you need to cut off the plastic "flap." I just used a knife, took my time, and cut it off. Now I can plug in the composite and HDMI at the same time.
Once you use a decent set of headphones, you'll never want to use the stock headset again.

Yeah, after I saw the sale for the trittons I saw people saying they weren't any good. I might just go with a cheap pair of turtle beach for now. Thinking about just getting the turtle beach communicator it's only $25 but it's just for chat.

I was wondering if there are and android sticks with a scart connector.
Since I have a very old TV and getting one with a HDMI connector isn't an option for me I was hoping if there is a product like this.
If So, what are the costs of this product.
The ones I've seen So far are all HDMI.
I am aware that there are HDMI to SCART cables but they are a bit to expensive.
Thanks in advance

no offence dude but if you can afford a pc, an internet connection, a mini pc, power to power it, you can afford to buy a $2/£2 hdmi-scart adaptor from ebay :good:

Yes, that cable will not work - converting HDMI to scart is not that simple. Best bet is to get the stick with the a/v output I mentioned above....

i was really just using that link as an example , the proper cable should be there somewhere, and are you sure it wont work? im sure ive used a xbox360 converter before with no probs on an old tv at my sisters
edit: if the cable above is wrong as mentioned then jetfin's option probably seems the easiest route.
however i cant find any support for this device so if you do run into a problem which lets face it with these sticks you probably will at some point, theres not gonna be much help.
also something to note :c+p'd from the website
"""""Now on to the less than stellar bit. The camera. We were all excited because we thought we’d found a bargain basement way to add Skype video calling to our TV (compared to products like the Logitech Skype camera which costs hundreds of dollars). But to our dismay Skype refused to work with the dongle, and not only Skype. We tried Tango too, and even Google Talk failed to load. So it looks like there’s either a) a bug in the firmware or b) the thing is designed not to let you access the camera via a video chat application.
It totally ruins the point of having a camera in the device, what else are you going to do, photograph (or video) yourself sitting on the couch? Not really, eh?"""""
360 outputs in interlaced too. I'm guessing you would need to have a deinterlacer too. There is a hdfury that converts to VGA then you could VGA> to rgb thru a deinterlacer prob only cost couple of hundred quid lol

I have forgotten my charger at home and won't be back for a few days but I need my tablet for class. So I ask do I have any options? Or do any local stores carry the cable?

I'm not 100% sure, but maybe nexus7 cable can work. And if that can be confirmed, you're more likely to find that at staples, best buy, etc.

Note that you still need the TF charger - with standard 5 volt USB, it may take more than 24 hours for a full charge.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think the N7 has the same charger, since I believe that uses a regular micro USB.
Why wouldn't you check caseen. They seem to have TF chargers in stock on their website.

Ahh, thanks for confirming.
I wasn't entirely sure and was basing it on the fact that n7 also built by Asus and that my zagg power supply will only charge my phone and not tablet.
Only after buying zagg power and trying to use it unsuccessfully for tablet, I saw it said online that it won't work with n7, but they didn't mention our tablets, so I thought same cables etc. Oh well, good to know. Now I've just realized I've never seen (irl) or played with a n7 yet, wow.
Good luck op!

I haven't found any local stores that carry any accessories when my cat chewed up mine. Amazon has a few different brands. There is one that houses the wires in rubber instead of the normal plastic that I liked. Its also 6' long which is nice.
