Problems with 2012 Camaro. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey I have a '12 Camaro SS and it has its own USB port (for iPhone and iPod.) But I charge my S3 on it. Every time I connect to it I get this message

}
I don't care about music since it has an auxiliary input but I just hate the message. Can I get rid of it? Also the Camaro tries to read it so it's just an awkward silence when the radio goes out can I do anything so my s3 won't be detected but charged.?

Buy a car charger. The computer in your car is incompatible. Much like radios having iPod support. But yours doesn't have android support. You can eliminate the wires which are not needed for charging, but that's risky in its self.

You have two options. The first is to just get a car charger. The other is to enable UMS mode. Doing that would allow your camaro to read the phone as a regular USB thumb drive. I'm not sure if it would work for the internal SD card alone though, but it would definitely solve your problem if you had an external card in there (you could even put music on the card and play that through your car).

Since cables have molded plugs, you cannot mod them easily. There are two USB cables available that come wired to prevent the phone from getting a data signal on the cable. This would keep both the radio and the phone from sensing each other. There is a problem however. Charging from a USB port most new phones limit their current draw because USB can only supply 500 milliamps (1/2 Amp). When an AC charger is used the phone draws more current and charges significantly faster. Fooling the radio's connection to the phone could result in damage to the USB port.
The use for these cables is to fool the phone when plugged into 12 volt car chargers that have USB connections. Most of these chargers are detected as a USB connection by the phone, and the phone refuses to draw more current. You can see whether the phone thinks it is charging from USB or AC in the settings menu or with many battery widgets.
Amazon has two modded cables one a "Naztech" and the other from PureGear.

To answer your question, you would need to find a USB cord that doesn't support data. That or like everyone else said, buy a car charger.

MHL (micro USB to HDMI) adapter works fine!

I just tested today my MHL adapter from monoprice (http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8805&seq=1&format=2) and it works just fine.
It actually mirrors the phone screen all times but I could not change this behavior.

Sweet! I really dig monoprice... they did me good on hdmi cables.
I was curious to know if your touch inputs on the phone transfer over to the TV set as well. Like a circle appearing where your fingers are touching the screen.
kind of a stupid question but does this remove the phone charging abilities?

no. there is a micro usb port on the side of the adapter for charging.
In fact, you must have it charging to work.

I bought the monoprice one and, while it has a charging port, it doesn't require the charging cord to be plugged in in order to work... It just won't charge the phone at the same time if it's not plugged in.

There is nothing to indicate the sun was involved. If I had to guess I'd say the dock he used in conjunction with his DC power outlet malfunctioned and overloaded the phone with current. Of course it doesn't say the dock was connected to power either but that scenario is much more likely taking into account the type of damage.

DC power from the car. The article doesn't specify whether it was plugged in or even if it was parked (or did I overlook something?), just saying it could have been a rogue car charger. Hell it may have just been what you think and the SIII gets way to hot, but there are too many variables left unanswered to make a definitive assessment.
Edit: I see where he says it wasn't charging now. Who knows man. Weird place for it to overheat though.

[APP] Skyrocket Charger Test [Now in Google Play]

UPDATE (3/1/2014): Better late than never, the app is now available in the Google Play Store.
DOWNLOAD HERE
This version *should* work for both ICS and JB. I still don't have a Skyrocket, so can someone please download and test and let me know if it works? If it does not, I'll fix ASAP. I'm just publishing the same basic app to the Play Store to make it a little easier for you folks to install it after a flash.
If the Play Store version doesn't work for ICS and/or JB, v0.1 in this thread is for ICS, v0.3 is for JB
I created an app in Tasker's App Factory to test your Skyrocket's charger.
The goal of this app is to help you determine if your charger is providing a fast charge and to see if your charger will cause the dreaded wakelock. You should be able to plug in your charger and launch the app to see your charger type and current reported in the notification bar.
This app was created to accompany my thread on Skyrocket battery life here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759541
The apk is attached. Just install it and launch the app when you have a charger connected.
For Reference:
The app runs a cat of these files: /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charging_source & /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_current_adc
***Version 0.3 for Jelly Bean ROMs cats batt_charging_source instead of charging_source***
It uses charging_source and the values below to determine the charge type
0= No charger connected.
1= USB Normal Charge. There is 5VDC on pins 1&4 and data current is detected on 2&3
2= AC Fast Charge. AC Fast Charge. There is 5VDC on pins 1&4, and pins 2&3 are BRIDGED.
6= AC Regular Charge. This is the charge state that creates the wakelock. There is 5VDC on pins 1&4, and pins 2&3 are OPEN/DISCONNECTED.​
The app uses the batt_current_adc value to determine the charge current. Anything below 500 means your charger provides a normal charge. Anything above that will likely be around 900 and that is considered a fast charge.
The Tasker project XML is attached in the second ZIP if anybody wants to see what the app is doing.
Version 0.1
First attempt
V 0.3
Should work with Jelly Bean
Updated minimum OS to 4.1
Changed cat of "charging_source" to "batt_charging_source"
Installed this and tested it on 3 chargers, official, cheap brand, and car. Seems to work great!
So far all I notice is that it just doesn't launch if the device isn't plugged in (understandably), and the notification icon persists through closing the app (very minor)
I'm going to try it with another skyrocket and some knockoff batteries and will let you know!
Very nice app!
Edit: I'm running CM9 RC2/Nightly, just to give as much info as I can

Thanks for the feedback. I was trying to get it to report "No charger connected" when one isn't connected, but couldn't get it working. I'll try adding that again on my next version.
This Is Awesome! It allowed me to figure out which charges in my house were actually doing the trick. Thanks

The app should tell you that your charger will cause a wakelock if it's one that will. Is it not doing that for you?

If your charger is recognized as type 6, it will give you a notification like in the attached image. Type 6 causes a wakelock.

I really need more info before I can tell you anything for sure.
Is the charger the stock Samsung charger or is it one you picked up at walmart or some other store?
My Samsung charger has two parts, the data cable with micro USB on one end that plugs in the phone and USB on the other that plugs into a pc. And the other part is a plug that plugs in the wall and the USB data cable plugs into it. Now is your charger all one piece or is the data cable separate from the wall plug?

Nokia wireless charging works.

Just got the n4 today. My Nokia wireless charger works fine.
You can buy it at Att or Verizon or Tmobile I'm guessing.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Haven't found anywhere online with them in stock though. Amazon, T-Mobile, and AT&T all list it as backordered or something similar. My corporate discount gets 25% off at Verizon, but they only have the flat one right now, sadly.

so it doesnt work? Disconnecting randomly isnt doing what its supposed to do. I dont consider it working unless it works like normal.

im wondering if maybe using a high power (2-3 amp) USB adapter would make a difference.. like the ipad charger
amperage too low?
I'm hardly an engineer, but the specs say the DT-900 is only 300ma. Maybe that's causing the problem with the N4.
I tired both the Nokia puck and the JBL speakers in a Verizon store. Both had the infamous charging/not charging problem.
It's a no-go for either I'm afraid. I can assume the same for the Fatboy pillow too...

The charger works perfectly fine, you just have to make sure that the nexus 4 isn't sliding off because of the glass back. That'd what was causing it to connect/disconnect for me. Works great after I just put a piece of microfiber cloth on it before laying the phone down.

I wonder if it makes a difference that he is using the dock as opposed to the pad? Thoughts
I've seen it mentioned that the reliability of the charging depends on whether NFC is turned on or off. Think it was mentioned by someone on Engadget. Not sure how that would affect the Qi charging, but worth a shot I suppose.

Guys, it very may work for Droidz, if you read The Verge's report you will notice that the charging issue seems to not affect ALL Nexus 4's, read below is an excerpt from The Verge's article
""The Nexus 4 and the Nokia DT-900 are supposed to properly work together," says Menno Treffers, chairman of the Wireless Power Consortium. Indeed, not everyone is having trouble pairing the Nexus 4 to the DT-900: Engadget reported success, for instance. But a single bad experience instills doubt in a standard that needs as much traction as it can get early on in the game."

Nexus 4 fits in the $5 infuse car dock!

I ordered the Infuse 4g dock from ATT for $5 shipped because it was supposedly a perfect fit for the Samsung Galaxy S3. However I sold my S3 for the Nexus.
To my pleasant surprise, the dock fits perfectly with the N4, maybe even a little snug when trying to take it back out.

Haha... this will be my 3rd phone that I've used that dock for. Wonder if my $0.01 Infuse Desktop Dock will work as well.
Best investment ever.
Edit: Does sound out through USB work?

this desktop dock is different from what is being talked about in the thread right?
because one of the reviews of the dock mentions how the S3 does not fit snug in the dock, can any one verify?

I have no idea if the other one would work, but my guess is no

Didn't know there wasn't one. This will be my first stock phone (whenever Google gets around to shipping....).
Is it charging? The Nexus 4 also fits the SGS2 car dock...like a glove. BUT its not charging it unfortunately. Strange.

Does the infuse car dock charge the N4?
Looking at those pictures, do the mount points scratch the phone at all? Are the corners of the dock rubbery? Looks like a good option till some magnetic/wireless charging mounts come out (if ever!).
Where did u get that for 5$

This dock does work as well, I had this for my Infuse. It isn't a tight fit, but the gap on each side of the phone is probably the thickness of a sheet of paper.

Does it? Dam I just gave my dock away to :/
It's hard to believe it fits since all the dimensions are bigger on the nexus, maybe its because of the corners being more rounded on the nexus.
it was available for awhile from the att store before sd blew it up

I ordered one and it was initially backordered and eventually canceled. Was hoping it would work with the N4, now it does, and I don't get one. :crying:
where for $5
I don't see it for $5? The links that are shared on here for $13 is for the desktop dock and not the car one. Car dock looks like it is $26-27 on amazon?
