My nexus s adapter broke, now they send me a new one, but it is for the galaxy nexus. I thought no big deal, because the specs look the same. I tested it, and unless my eyes were deceiving me it worked. Second time I want to use it, it suddenly doesn't work. Does anyone know if the adapter from the galaxy nexus should work on the nexus s? And what could be wrong? The cord looks fine and hasn't received any damage..
What exactly is an adaptor? Are you referring to the micro USB cable, or the wall outlet to USB charger. Either should work, the U in USB does stand for universal.
try a different phone on your galaxy nexus "adaptor". The issue may be your NS

I'm referring to the travel adapter.

At the moment I have no other device to test it on.. and my old nexus s adapter still works when I bend the cord (the cord is broken).

Thanks
Consider they're basically identical phones yes, it will work. Just about any micro USB charger will work.
Thanks....
I bought this because of the extra USB port.

I wouldn't think it's the firmware. Is this happening when the cables are plugged into a PC or the charger or both? If it's only from the charger, then it could be the charger itself. Hopefully it's not a problem with the female plug on the tablet.
The charger and pc side of it both work fine just not the otg part lol they say turn the tab off and on with the cable inserted but still does nothing and i dont have to do that for the otg cable on my s3...im beginning to think both cables ar dead...i might try splicing them togetherlol 2 cables from 1

LOL, I completely missed the "OTG" part. I've bought a ton of stuff off eBay but I'm always a little leery of what I buy, especially anything electronic. You can get them for $1 + $2.98 shipping on Amazon. I feel a little better buying off Amazon for some reason. In fact, after looking at them, I'm going to go ahead and order one.

I bought the cable below and it works pretty well, though the phones battery still drains faster than the cable will charge. Even with the OEM 2A charger. What you should be looking for is an 11 pin MHL cable or adapter (other phones use what I believe is a 5 pin cable). The nice thing about the one I bought is that it includes an adapter for the S4 but it will work with any MHL compatible device.

You are correct. 11 pin MHL connectors will work with the S4, which also means the Note 2, S3, and a few others will be compatible with the S4. However the S2 is a 5 pin connector and will not work.
I was looking for one too. Thanks!
Thanks for the link
Did you check the adapter? What about the video quality?
This one does not work...

I had actually gotten this one and was wondering why it was not working, I thought it might just be rom. Was trying to find more info. I guess it might just be the cable, dam.
Anyone have experience with an HDMI Adapter working with Cyanogenmod?
Ive scoured the internet trying to find a solution. My USB cord fits really snug in the port but wiggles side to side as if it were really loose. What can I do to fix this annoying wiggle.
Also the phone charges fine its just wiggly.

I believe that just might be the make of the Nexus 5, as my phone does the same thing.
Oh OK ..whew well that makes me feel much better...thought I had received a bad one. Thnx

I agree - the usb charging port is very wiggly! Try another cable.
I'm using the charging cable that came with the phone and there is lots of play in the connector - both vertical and horizontal. I will often have my phone plugged in while working with tasker and it seems the usb cable easily works itself loose as the phone is moved around.
It's rather disconcerting. I'm going to try another usb cable to see if it's any better to try to see if the problem is the port or the cable. What is it like on YOUR phone?
OK - I tried another cable and it is MUCH better! The usb cable that comes with the charger is a very loose fit. Try some other usb cables and report your findings. I'm using the one that came with my kindle and it's a much snugger fit.
Hi guys i purchased a hdmi to mhl adapter cable for my S4 i9505 (i have attached image, intented for S4) which is rooted running on stock rom 4.2.2 JB.
It is not working with my s4, i have noticed that the mhl port does not insert fully into my s4, and goes in about 3/4, is this normal?
I have tried restarting phone and tv, connected to power source correctly etc. Are there any other considerations?
On a side note, i tried this cable on my Note 10.1 2014 tablet and it inserts fully in, i get the "hdmi connected" message and it works flawlessly. However its not working on my S4.
If anyone has any suggestions or solutions, please let me know. Thanks.

Maybe needs power adapter connected to the phone. I know the Genuine Hdtv Hdmi adapter works with the S4 without requiring power connected. Also Its Mhl 2.0, not sure what ur cable is ? 2.0 or 1.0?
It is connected to power source, the issue is its not inserting fully into my s4. I tried it on a mates S3lte today and it worked and went in fully and worked.
What could be the issue? Any suggestions?
P.s. im not sure if its mhl 1.0 or 2.0 but the cable was advertised to work with s4.

When I got my Genuine Samsung MHL adapter, I couldn't get it to work at first either. Same problem, the connector looked much longer than regular micro-USB, and I found it strange that it stuck out so much. In the end, I figured that there was a reason that the MHL connector is longer, and I pushed it in slightly harder, and it finally snapped in properly, and my S4 told me that the adapter was detected. It does take more effort than a regular micro-usb cable to connect properly, so try using just slightly more pressure than normal, until it pops in all the way, or at least until the device is detected. If veins are popping out of your forehead, then you're pushing way too hard, and something else is wrong.

I tried to put alot of pressure but it did not go in. Werid thing is, i tried the mhl adapter cable with another friends S4 and even on that, it didnt go in and gave the same issue.
Now im wondering if Samsung possibily made some early batches of the S4 that take the 5pin connector? And that being the reason why it does not insert properly into two handsets i have tried on. Any ideas or suggestions people? Thanks
