Just need a cable that works, really..

Pretty much, any micro usb data cable is enough

Thank you. I just bought a Xoom from EBay and I'll try to rooted. But I read an somewhere about the OEM cable maybe it's needed for unbrick the Xoom if something goes wrong?

[Q] SD Card read as CD drive

I just went from Humble 4.22 to Gummy FE 2.0. So far I like it better. But when I plug my phone into the computer it just says "charging" on the charge and shows up as a cd drive on my computer. I flashed the "sd card fix by kejar" thing twice and it didnt work. What do I do?

HDMI cable

Will any micro HDMI cable work with the ATRIX 2, if not can someone recommend the one that works best with my ATRIX?

Thanks a lot, I saw somewhere that certain HDMI cables won't work well with it, just making sure.

Phone to phone charging?

Would it be possible to have a double ended micro USB cable that could plug into to phones and have an apple that could determine which phone got charged? Since phones can stop themselves charging ect could they give the current out?

From what I have seen, the usb ports on phones don't provide power, they are used strictly for data, and charging the device itself, not other devices.
So there's no possible way it could do this? I just think it would be a really useful thing to have

Semi Broken USB cord from gnex

So after using my oem cord in a gnex the male side no longer "clicks in" and its kinda bent. So beware!

No direct correlation. I use the same oem micro usb on my GS3, G.Nexus, & Nexus 7. Sounds like you are doing it wrong. I will say the OEM Samsung cords are kinda cheap feeling, but it is not bending because of the G.Nexus.
Maybe it was just me then haha,know of a place I get a new one?

You don't need an OEM. You can use any micro usb. Target, Walmart, RadioShack.

Phone won't charge

My girlfriend says her One S won't charge. Any idea as to what the problem could be?

Faulty AC adaptor, bricked phone, faulty microUSB cable

It could be the power adapter I guess. She says she can charge it at work. It can't be a bricked phone because it's on.

Yeah, I'd just try a different adapter. I've had this issue where an adapter will work for one phone and not another.
