Micro usb port on the HOX - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Is anyone elses micro USB port a little wiggly?... By the way im talking about the port on the actual phone itself. I mean it charges fine and everything but it wiggles just the slightest bit. Is this normal?

Mine is rock solid. A little tight actually.

Ahh. I think ill just have to live with it because this was my second replacement for dead pixels and its near perfect. You can't wiggle it the slightest?

Mine is actually quite tight as well. My two Atrix devices had loose ports but my Galaxy Nexus one was solid. This HOX is actually VERY tight though, which I'm happy about.
They can loosen over time and I'd much rather have one that's more firm than not.

Mine is rock solid with the new charger but if I plug in my old charger cord it is a bit loose and wiggly...

I tried two different chords both sort of wiggly, It charges fine so ill just live with it, Ive had 3 bad onex's and dont want a dead pixel lmao

Mine is almost too tight...hard to remove the chord sometimes. I would keep an eye on it...had a loose micro port on an old phone and it got where it wouldn't charge half the time.

I will for sure! If it gets worse ill call HTC for an under warranty repair. Its actually not as bad as I make it sound though lol. I might be overreacting.

Why didn't they make Mini-USB the standard again?

Because phones are smaller? Mini USB had the same problem. If you suck at putting a cord in it will naturally loosen over time.

Yes!! I have noticed this also if you use a third party micro USB cord. The one that comes with the phone is very snug, others not so much.

htc one x dock

When are we going to see one for the att version? you would think there would be one released on the same day as the phone with the charging tabs built right into the phone.

Found this one but it costs more than I am willing to spend. Looks good though

Be careful, the AT&T version is the XL and the pogo pins are not in the same place. The international HOX accessories that use the pins won't line up correctly.

Cool thanks for the tip. They should be more clear about for what phone it is for.

If you're dead set on getting the dock, contact them and make sure it's compatible with the AT&T version and let us all know!
go to att.com its on their accessory page along with the media link and battery bank.

I bought the Hyperion USB dock and have used it for a few days. It's works fine as expected, but even the slimmest of cases must come off for the device to fit.
Also, to my disappointment, it cannot put the phone into dock mode. It seems as though only the docks using the pogo pins will be able to do that.

thats not true. it has to do with the usb connection not the dock itself.

Is there a dock that does this?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
It's almost certainly either a magnet sensor or NFC sensor that triggers the dock mode - the car kit doesn't even use the pogo pins, but will trigger the car mode app. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with the cable, either - the one that comes with the car kit doesn't appear to be anything more than a normal cable with an end molded to fit in the dock.
EDIT: Just ran the magnet I have across my phone with no success, so the Mototrola method is not likely how it works. Some Samsungs use NFC, so it could still be doing that.

The car mode is built into the USB cable using a special resistance on the usb cable with a small standard resistor.
- Dan
10k ohm works good for me
Do like in "penguin.cz/~utx/hardware/HTC_car_dock/" this instruction, but for our phone resistor must be ~ 10k ohm.

many docks do not have it built into it. I found this out when i purchased a dock for my galaxy note that "enabled dock mode" when used, however for me it didn't work. I found out that the issue was that i was not using the cable that came with it, instead i was using my own cable (it was pre routed which is why). After some testing i found that the cable did indeed make the difference. As far as i know i have not found any docks for the one x that have that built into the dock itself, the 2 that i did find, both relied on the cable still.

It's crap like this that's a double punch to the nuts. Why couldn't they just have made it the same pin design?
HTC needs to get their act together...
I love having docks.
It makes my life so much easier having one at the office next to my bed, I dont get the point of making phones with the pins if they are going to take a year to release a dock that uses them (slight exaggeration). Its a joke that the international one has it and not Rogers/AT&T... ugh
Yeah... any information on if / when this stupid dock is going to be out for the US would be nice.
I know it sounds dumb, but this is one of the reasons I bought the phone.

They'll make an ATT dock that's twice as expensive and charge us all!

Shift goes black when opening keyboard, hardware problem?

My wife has a Shift and whenever the hardware keyboard is opened the screen goes black. It just started doing this a few days ago. We already had one swapped out under warranty for basically just bugging out. Is this another case of faulty hardware or is there some simple fix like cleaning a contact? It doesn;t fc or anything just goes black.
Its bone stock, I mess with my own E4GT but don't touch her phone.
I have the same problem just never got it fixed. Its the flex cable going bad I believe
Sent from my PG06100 using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2
Indeed, it is the flex cable. I have had this happen to two of my shifts. The sprint store should replace it no questions asked. The only bad part is that the shift is not stocked in stores anymore, they have to order one in. Usually takes 3-5 days.
Yes the damm Flex Cable is the Shift's Achille's heel.
^^Ain't that the truth. This is my 3rd shift, but tomorrow I'll have an EVO 4G LTE!
Thanks guys I will let her know to take it in. This HTC phone seems a bit flaky, no wonder why they dropped support so quick.
I don't think it is necessarily their fault. I think broken flex cables are a curse of the sliding form factor. I know some other phones that have suffered issues with it as well.

did you have to pay for the replacement? i always thought if it was hardware you shouldnt have to pay for it by today my screen just went out and days before this it always shut off after puting it in keyboard position

If it's a hardware issue, which it sounds like it is. Then you should not have to pay anything. It also depends on the condition of the Device. If the Screen is Cracked or the Device is beat up, they sometimes try to claim it's your fault. But if the device is in good condition they don't usually say anything until they check it out. It might be a good idea to Un-root, and take the Device in to Sprint.
no its not cracked, theres not one ding scratch or anything to it, it almost looks like it came right out of the box im already nervous as it is with these kind of phones so i do my best to take care of it but thanks for the info..it makes me feel alot more reassured:laugh:

Like I mentioned. Un-Root, then off to Sprint to have them check it out. But it definitely sounds like it's the Flex Cable as mentioned earlier. But if it's in the condition you say, you shouldn't have any issues with Sprint resolving your issue.

[review] Philips as351 bluetooth speaker dock $50 @ Walmart

Just got the Philips Fidelio speaker dock for my phone. Its built pretty solid. The usb port is adjustable so if you have different phones that have the micro usb port turned the other way it will fit. There are also little nubs on each side to keep the phone from rocking, and a back support so all the stress doesnt go on the usb port. It was simple to find and connect with bluetooth. There is also an aux input and a usb port for another cable if you need it. The front and rear charger both run at 2A but if you have both plugged into devices it will charge at 1A each. The sound is ok, the bass seems like its trying to hard... haha.... but not bad at all. It is portable also taking 4aa batteries, I havent tried that yet though and dont know if it will charge the phone on batteries.
Some Cons: You have to push the phone down pretty hard to get it to charge. The only buttons on the speaker are power and an independent volume button. If youre closer to the dock than your phone or the screen is off on the phone that could be slightly irritating. The biggest problem that I had was there is a little circle piece of plastic at the base of the speaker and that prevented my phone from charging with the bumper on. But after a little time cutting it it fits perfect with the bumper still on. looks ugly but works.
Best thing its only $50 for a refurbished model at walmart.com free shipping and $6 for the extended warranty. All in all not a bad deal and Im glad I purchased it.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Philips-R...ker-System-for-Android-Devices-Black/21117024
i got the same speakers, the big problem for me is the app for android, it sucks a lot
I love this dock I have it also I've had it for a week now I have no complaints. The sound quality is amazing and the Bluetooth will still work on the other side of my apartment. Its a great buy:thumbup::thumbup: so happy I purchased this over a wireless charging dock. BTW mine charges perfect with a bumper or case on or naked. Once I adjusted the lil movable pegs that go up and down. It works perfect on my N7 also.

[Q] Screen not displaying anything but touch still works?

I Have a HTC ONE X from at&t that recently got repaired by a shop. i got a new lcd.difitizer assembly kit and after repairs my phone worked for about an hour before screen went blank. touch screen still responds but no display coming on. Can Someone tell me whats happening?
The shop i took it doesnt even know all they do is come up with a solution that may or might not work and want to charge even more.
First off they should not charge extra to fix something that they "repaired" that didn't work an hour later. It sounds like they ****ed up and the ribbon cable for the display portion of the lcd is loose or damaged.

thanks for the response i dont know if it could be ribbon cable because they also tried connecting my old lcd and that too would not turn on
i pretty much paid them to make my phone a very expensive paper weight
If that's the case that leaves the back light on the lcd itself. Which would still be their responsibility or the connector piece which is also.. I feel bad for you man, crooks like that suck.

If it's the back light a new screen is needed. If it's the connector, maybe solder? Prolly a new main board though.

I ordered a few different lengths 1.5, 3ft, 6ft, because the regular usb cables (of which i have a million now) don't seem to charge for **** on the s5. I also got a braided style, flat ribbon style, and of course in neon colors so i can find the correct cable in a pile of others.
Links please for best braided/material wrapped or high quality cable you have found.. Going to order a few since it's impossible to get a wireless back plate right now and hate seeing better cables right after I order lol.. Thanks guys!

Btw the braided cable i got doesn't charge more than 1.1 amps. The thicker cables typically will allow full amp draw.
Often times the cheapest cables will end up working perfectly, so don't have any fear there. The phone has a charge controller and will recognize any problems with the cable and prevent flow to the battery.
