New LG phone comes with HDMI ADAPTER.
It's that LG 3D phone.
It's the micro HDMI to normal HDMI cable.
I wonder why we did not get it???

Because if you use the one that came in the box and it fries your phone, it's covered under warranty?
Are there any online that are cheap and GUARANTEED not to fry your phone?
Offtopic: I can't believe shorting any pins on an HDMI interface to the phone chassis (or to one another) can fry your phone. What kind of ****ty design is that anyway?
This one works perfectly for my SGS2 and my wifes G2x: http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Micro-Ca...B003VWYBC2/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1?tag=5336653508-20

i wish every phone came with one that had hdmi out
I accidentally bought a 2X and it came with and HDMI cable, (which I kept when I sold it for a G2X)
the manual that came with mine said that a microsd card in included in the package. there wasn't. the guy at the wind mobile store took down my info and said he'd get back to me. it's been 6 months. i don't think i'm hearing back.
oh, i also did not get an hdmi cable, though i did buy a package with it, a usb cable, screen protectors and probably a bunch of other crap for something like $10 off ebay a week after i bought my phone, so it's all good. i guess.

Yep. Bought that one for the car and bought 2 6ft ones for indoors. All work flawlessly.
I ordered some generic cables on eBay and they work just fine. I do like the way that the micro usb side of the cable that came with the phone is angled, making it easier to plug in in the dark.
I've looked online and found the Samsung replacement part but it appears they are only 2' 9" long (which is a LOT shorter than the cable that came with the phone).
Here's one of the sites where I found this:
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=38609&cat=888
Has anyone seen a longer (and possibly cheaper) cable like this?
Thanks!

Just buy the monoprice cable and score the right side of the microusb end with a knife or something so you can easily insert it in the dark.
Anyone seen one that is at a right angle that goes in the phone instead up straight up?
So when plugged in, in the car and mounted it doesn't go up like 2 inches before it turns back down.
**nevermind found one on ebay (searched usb cable micro angled)
I bought a 2 pack of retractable cables on ebay for portable charging. To my surprise they work to transfer data, too. It's interesting because the last retractable phone cable I bought could only be used to charge (samsung instinct)
Bought mine from NewEgg and an expensive one is about $15. I choose some that were $4 a piece. Works great
Just placed my order for 2 6ft ones. One to have at work and one at home.

do not get right angle! I made that mistake, it covers the 3.5 mm audio.
get an "Up angle" for a while usbfirewire.com was the only vendor and was $16 to $20 shipped depending on length, but they recently started showing up on ebay for $7 shipped.
I got an up angle from this vendor and it came fairly fast for hong kong (abut 7 days) and was a very good gauge and quality:

Can anyone recommend a *thin and flexible* USB charging cable? I bought these from Amazon and although they work fine, they are too stiff and thick and I am worried that they will damage my port with prolonged use since I have to bend the cable before the phone lies flat on the table while charging. There are many other options out there but it is hard to judge by the picture how thin and flexible the cable is. I am looking for something as thin and flexible as the OEM cable. Thanks
Got mine in the mail the other day. Took about 3 days or so to get. Very quick shipping. The usb part that plugs into the phone is pretty snug.
I broke my charge port on my evos shift 4G a bit. It's working still for now, but the middle plastic strip in the port that the pins are directly against has snapped off, So I was going to replace the whole port with some soldering phone tear down action. Problem is that I haven't been able to find the actual replacement part I can use.
Any ideas to where I can find one?
It's just a micro usb cable.
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=4868&seq=1&format=2
You misunderstood I think. I don't need a cable. I need the actual plug that's built into the phone you plug a cable into. As in I have to take the phone apart and do some soldering.
Try to find a charger port for an evo or a g2 or anything really they all use the same micro USB charger and port so the ports from one of them phones should work, maybe find a cheap bricked phone or something and take the port lol

Not planning on buying a broken phone and having to carefully un solder and remove a part that only cost around 75 cents new. I'm really surprised no one here has done this before. I may have to make a tutorial when I do it.
Then check eBay or microcenter.com that's all I know,no one else has ideas and you can't find that 75 cent part so your gonna have to do something before it gets worse

Well the link that craven667 gave you is actually a step in the right direction. Because it does give you an idea of what your looking for. Now as they mentioned before you could just take it in to Sprint if you have TEP. Sprint will repair it for free. If you don't want to do that, or don't have TEP. You may want to consider is a repair service, like THIS ONE. Although I've never tried this type of thing. Also, as I thought it looks exactly like the EVO4G charger port. Which they sell on Ebay. I did a quick search and found THESE When you think about it only makes sense that HTC would use the same charger port across a bunch of different phones. It's just more cost effective. Also found THIS YouTube video of an EVO Shift teardown. Plus THESE still pics of a torndown EVO Shift.
Problem:
Broken charging port.
Solution:
Take it to the sprint store and have it repaired under WARRANTY.
Problem:
Sprint store refuses to repair/replace phone
Solution:
Go to another sprint store and/or call sprint
Problem:
Went to 3+ Sprint stores and called sprint and no resolution.
Solution:
Use TEP.
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.

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'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 use the monoprice premium cables too. Had it for a couple months and no breaks yet. And life time warranty. Better than the amazon basic cables.
Ah yes, already checked monoprice, looks like good quality cables, but problem is that they don't ship to my country
And even if they did, I checked country next to mine, price would be ~20$, so..
TnX anyway
Try amazon. I bought mine through there.
Have you thought about wireless chargers? Fry's usually has those for about $20, and they come with a USB cord.

1.Someone have\tried visible led cable type?how his quality?charge time?...?
Thanks very much!
My USB port is slowly dying. It only charges when the cable is in a certain position and when I move it , it stops charging.
Anyone know of a good place to get a new flex cable? I looked at etradesupply, but the shipping is too expensive. The port is 17.99, but the shipping to Canada is 31.99.
I bought 2 off amazon, but when I install it, everything works except the loud speaker. At first I thought it was a defective cable, so I tried the second one I bought as the spare.......still no sound.
At this point I thought I messed up my phone, but when I put the original one back, everything works again except the charging port.
Anyone have any experience with this? Know of a place the sells one that works?
Thanks
Where are you located? Ebay?
Since the N5 has built-in wireless charging, you could just buy a cheap qi charging pad to charge the phone wirelessly.
I'm in Canada.
I did think about eBay, but I'm worried it will be the same as the amazon one. I was hoping someone had ordered one from somewhere and can confirm it worked.
Are you in Toronto? Maybe post an ad on a buy sell trade forum for the part? Any local repair shops gave the part?
Sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm in Vancouver.
I have contacted several reputable businesses in Vancouver, but they want to charge to install the part. I understand their point though since the profit is in the labour.
I'm hoping I don't have to go that route since its substantially more expensive. The cheapest I have been qouted is $60.
I have opened up the phone and am comfortable installing it, so I'm hoping I can save some money doing it myself.
Is this the piece you need? A wireless charger could charge the phone if the USB port is able to transfer data.

The one I have works for sure because it actually came from an LG phone. I purchased two phones: 1 with a smashed glass, the other with a damaged emmc. I took the motherboard from the phone with a smashed glass and put it into the phone with a defective motherboard.
I have never purchased replacement parts from a third party except for non-oem pre-assembled LCD/digitizer/glass/frame from Aliexpress.
The USB replacments from Amazon look exactly like the original with the same number of contacts, etc.?

The amazon one I got, looks exactly like the one in the phone right now.....thats why I'm confused as to why it didn't work. I tried 2 and both the loudspeaker didn't work. Everything else works......however .
I'm not sure which vendor sold the part but were there any negative reviews or buyers mentioning this problem? Could it be something unique about your phone's speaker? I doubt it because the speaker for the d820 and d821 have the same part number.

There were only 2 reviews.....one said they had the sound problem and the other said it was fine.....I guess its hit or miss with third party parts.
It was the cheapest I found, so that may have something to do with it not working.

OP purchased them from Amazon but I'm not sure of the price.
