Has anyone ever used an Hdmi adaptor like the one here on Newegg?

I have a Newegg gift card to burn and was wondering if this would be worth it?

Do it!
I got one just like it for 4 dollars shipped from Amazon and they work great, especially nice if you have a 15-30ft HDMI cord.

charging problems

I have a rooted skyrocket running stock rom and when I am charging and using it at the same time the touch screen goes crazy. Has anyone experienced this and what can I do to fix it?

Like it'll lag to unlock? Or get stuck/freeze on the lockscreen?

I'll be scrolling website and it will select instead of scroll or be brousing through photos and instead of going to the next pic the current one will zoom. When I'm typing a email or text it puts the wrong lettoer up or don't space. The screen just does crazy things.
It only does it when its charging because when I unplug it the crazyness stops

Same here. My phone has a mind of its own when charging. Off the charge and its fine..

What charger are you using? I think this is revered to as a "grounding issue"
I notice it when using really powerful chargers
1a and lower don't seem to cause the issue

Listen to the cube when it's plugged in.. If you hear a high pitched whine you need to have at$t replace your charger and possibly your battery.. At the least your charger, battery is just a hey give me something.

Guy I bought my SR from had three of them and had to have all of his chargers replaced twice.. One of them three times until he got good ones.. And the one he gave me wasn't good.. I ended up using my i777 charger and throwing the cube one away.

wow! it looks nice
just put a small hole at the bottom for a charger and id love to buy one!
or even better, put an 'extender' of sorts thats mounted to the base, that goes to the back so you can use your own charger.
EDIT: looking at it more, and after calming down from the nerdgasm, i can see that wouldn't work...
Still really nice looking though!

ok this was just a quick sampole i made, Hopefully tommorrow im getting together with my lazer guy and Im goimg to have android lasered on front and the android logo on the back.

you should message a mod about this first though. its against the rules to sell things like this in most places, if you got permission then it should be fine, but just don't get banned by accident.
also, whatever you do, try doin it in a more general place, this could work for much more than the g2x
good luck!

Charging problems

As the title says my phone isn't charging properly. I know it's not the charger itself because my gf uses it also and it works just fine for her. I've bought a new battery and it hasn't made a difference either. My phone this morning after 4 hrs in the charger has only gone up 5% this problem has been going on for weeks now. Im hoping someone here has an idea what's wrong.

Last thing it could be is a hardware issue, either a bad connection or somethings wrong with the charging connection to the battery.
Could also be a bad USB cable, if it's going bad it won't hold a good connection very well.
If you're out of warranty then your best option would be to buy a external battery charger and an extra battery, not ideal, but at least you'll have a way to use your phone.

I know, so it isn't a problem with your battery or charger or USB cable, then it has to be your phone, but it's impossible to know for sure what's wrong. You might be able to fix it by replacing the charging port, or it could be a bad connection from the charging port to the motherboard, or it might be a bad connection from your battery to your charging prongs...
Could be a number of issues. If you're under warranty still then send it in to Samsung, if you're out of warranty then search around and see if you can get it repaired for a reasonable price, swapping batteries will also work for the meantime.

I've only had my phone for a few months so it should still be under warranty. Do I call up Verizon and they take care of it?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Yes, they will try to troubleshoot it but by the looks of it you've tried everything. They will just send you another phone. As long as your current one doesn't have any physical damage or water damage

Exactly, if Verizon won't help you then Samsung will. Try Verizon first, you definitely deserve a new phone.

Thanks you guys. I will definitely try Verizon. One more quick question. Will they send me a new phone first before I send mine in?

Charging

As this SG3 ages, it's getting harder to charge. Im having to buy new cables as well as bend, twist, shimmy, shake & do other creative tricks to get it to charge. Does anyone have any tips, tricks or suggestions that may help?

Check Amazon for a qi wireless charger, and also get a qi wireless receiver for your s3. It's a flat card with contacts, you just lay it on top of your battery (making sure the contacts are lined up), put the cover back on and poof, you charge completely wirelessly
This is the charging pad I got (but there are less expensive ones): http://www.amazon.com/gp/other/aw/d...6lMu6WT3Yl7h3k9T/JvVKlsYqVKlSA/9k=&precache=1

Nah, its not defective; the micro-sd pins are worn out. It just old...its seen over 1.5 yrs of hard use. But it has definitely been a good one.

I love the koolpad (the 1st link). I have two of them and I haven't charged any other way since. I believe it charged equally as fast as when it's plugged in directly
