Is it me or the charging wire that comes with the phone is super stiff like every time I take it off the charger it feels like its going to break my port. Has anyone else had this issue ?

Not here. It was a little snug at first. Now it's fine.

I slept on my phone and now thw kickstand won't sit flush. Should I call VZW to try to get it replaced?
tbolt ^_^_^
I'm pretty sure normal wear and tear, and stupidity aren't covered.

i agree, only way you get a new one is if you pay asurion the monthly warranty and call them to get it replaced(100 deductable) or buy a new one from verizon. They wont give you a free one.
Physical damage is not covered by the warranty.
Send pix of bent kickstand
Might be easy fix if ya carefull using tools

If you call them and try to get it replaced for any reason besides the bent kickstand just to get it replaced its fraud. Its why our deductibles have been going up when it comes to asurion etc.., but you gotta do what you gotta do- just some of us dont condone that
try to fix it yourself, or even take the kickstand out. it annoys the **** out of me and it's completely useless.
Not *completely*
it does keep pocket lint out of the speaker
It would be less useless if they moved the usb port and you could watch videos in the widescreen way and actually charge the phone. But obviously they didnt and the kickstand was an afterthought which is why it peels, bends and is in the way

Haha good one. Mine peeled off about a quarter of the way, so I took an emery board and went the whole rest of the way, then used metal polish. Now it's stainless.

If its in the way take it off
If you wanna complain then complain to HTC
I'm sick of people crying about how the phone is built
If you don't like it buy a different phone

They did that on purpose so you would pay for the desktop dock.

Man i think i rather sleep with a girl than my phone, but you got to do what you got to do... if the phone is not good in your eyes you should dump your girl *cough* phone and get a new one.

I would have a little more respect for that strategy if they actually had the docks availabe for sale at launch or even 3 months after launch, especially if the so-called multimedia dock had HDMI-out or any other multimesia functions for that matter.
Thanks, Robertus
wow, got a lot of funny responses. Ya'll are right though. Pretty stupid on my part. I got drunk and fell asleep on it.
I never said anything negative about the build though, so I'm not sure where some people came up with that.
I bent it back a little and it's ok with the cover on it. So I think I'll leave it at that. Thanks everyone for their interesting responses.

The official htc dock Just came out, and isn't available through verizon yet. I wanted it day one. It does charge with or without the extended battery, though. It also charges one extra regular or extended battery, too. I guess we are lucky htc put one out at all. The Inc 1 never got an official dock. Ha

I'd call around to local bicycle shops for a replacement : D Someone needs to stick it to the man and design a case with the kickstand facing the opposite direction.

I have the seidio dock. It's angled poorly for screen viewing (in my opinion), and extremely difficult (in relative terms to other docks I have for other phones) to get the phone in and out of it. There's a lot of resistance both in and out with the usb plug.
As for kickstands...why all the hate? Personally I think it's a fantastic accessory to the phone and puts it at the perfect angle for watching videos or reading off the phone while it's on my desk. Yeah, usb placement sucks and maybe you can't watch five hours of video on it with the kickstand, but other phones you can't watch anything at all without holding the phone in your hand or getting a dock.
Just got my nexus and was comparing it to my old gs2 and noticed that the size was almost identical. So, I decided to try it in my car dock... It fits great.
The charger port works if you file the lip a bit, or you can just put it in backwards and it will work just fine that way.
ATT was discontinuing these about 8 months ago, you might be able to find one if your lucky.
Please tell me that's the Infuse 4G dock?
That's currently holding my SII (E4GT), and since they are nearly the same size I was hoping to use it yet again haha.
I just threw out my sg2 dock 3 days a go. Damn!
That looks like its gonna scratch the chrome edges

I'm attempting a battery door mod on the original case that will allow me to change out the battery whenever i want with a charged one.
I have filed out enough space to remove the battery from the case while the case is still on. There will be a little piece of ribbon at the right that will life the battery out.
The NFC and qi chips will be attached to a piece of plastic with Velcro on it so that when when you pull it from the case the NFC and qi chip will be attached to that piece of plastic and will allow me to remove the battery.
I am planning on finishing the case and the battery door in leather.
One thing I'm having trouble working out is how I would be able to charge the nexus 4 battery without it being inside the phone. Any help on this would be appreciated.
Cheers
Steven

That looks really cool but I'm not sure if it would work. The nexus 4 battery has a rather strange connector on it. See pic.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Hmm. Yeah I guess I never saw the Nexus 4 battery out of the phone to see if it had the same gold connectors. It looks like these people have a way, but it doesn't seem very convenient.

Ok so I've mocked up a prototype. The concept works just need to get it looking a little better with the help of either some cut sign vinyl or leather glued to it. Have a look and tell me what you think
PS. I put a little piece of leather under the NFC chip to raise it slightly to make the connection with the added height. Works great!

Just had a though. A clip on case on the back might do the trick to hide some of the rough bits lol.

I am looking for stand and spare battery charger like I had for my Fascinate & my Gnex. Battery goes into compartment, phone goes into front groove either horizontally or vertically. A micro USB "Y" cable connects to phone & to charger. Handiest thing I have used in a long time. Can't find one for S4.

My old phone cradle/charger from my sprint S2 (Epic 4G touch) fits the S4 perfectly.

I was looking at that one but from the pic's it doesn't look like the vertical support is very tall. i was wondering how well it supports the back of the phone
I never had a problem with support. Between the usb connector going into the bottom and the back lip the phone is pretty sturdy when docked.
