[Q] car charger

hi, just got x10 but i have for it 2 car chargers and both not working, does anyone know do i have to change some settings in phone? cheers for any help

Is your car lighter ok?

i have a similar problem,.... i have a USB cigarette lighter adapter that i used on my previews phone,....
it doesnt work when i try to charge my X10,... (im using the original SE data cable,....)

A lot of the standard car chargers won't work for X10 for some reason.. they must be wired slightly differently.. you need to order one which is X10 compatible. I had a Jabra adapter which I tried with my USB cable and it didn't work..
Also - This thread should be in the Accessories section. MOD - can you please move?
Thanks.

Just a note of advice here... Make sure you're using a USB POWER cable instead of a DATA cable. If you're using a cable other than the one supplied with the X10, it may not work for charging.
FYI: The Motorola microUSB chargers work perfectly fine with the X10

There is a fix for your problem in this forum. Take yourself a digital meter or something like this and check if there is resistance.
If they are not connected (I bet they aren't) just solder the two data pins in your charger together (middle pins). Then it should
work!

ya, my blackberry car charger works perfectly with the x10

I bought 2 chargers the other day. They both worked. Only paid $3.50 per charger too and got free shipping because I have amazon prime:

I'm using the Nokia charger and it's working great so far.

I don't understand about electronics that much.. my field is medicine
My question is, can we build it?
Cheers.

Unfortunately that is not all we need. As far as I know, there is some additional circuitry in that little box.

That's definitely the case; I've read that MHL devices switch between MHL & USB modes based on the resistance across two pins on the 5-pin microUSB connector. So you'd need to duplicate that, and there's also some circuitry to convert the MHL video out signals to HDMI. SiliconImage makes a family of such chips.
Also, there's probably some magic involved in integrating the +5V from the microUSB charger input into the MHL connector, so as to keep the SGS2 charged while it's playing video. You'd at least want some current/voltage limiting circuitry to protect your expensive TV & phone from being zapped by a bad charger.

Here is a far more detailed description of the mhl adapter: http://www.wilder-tech.com/pdfs/Tektronix_MHL-TPA_User_Manual_Rev-A.pdf
:good:

MHL Cable is an active cable, meaning that there is an active circuit (Controller) within the cable, there are ways to home manufacture it, assuming that you have the required equipment and knowledge . but it just doesn't any sense. Unless you are doing it as a study case.

Note 3 usb charging overseas?

Hi everyone I just have a quick question
Right now I'm overseas and the power voltage of this country is 220 v .
I forgot to purchase a wall adapter to charge my phone but luckily my cousins here all have note 3 's
Is it safe if I just plug my usb (that came with the phone) onto their wall chargers/aftermarket wall chargers ?
Here is a picture of my setup

This is very basic. You should always check the charger or any appliances if it has/supports 110V-240V input. Be vigilant.

All chargers have 110V-240V input range, and any usb charger can charge the phone. Check the output amps of the charger, if its lower than the stock charger then it will charge slowly, if its higher than the stock charger then it would charge fast but could damage the battery life as well. Otherwise any USB charger will works fine just after market cheap one may does short-circuit or over heat issues.

Thanks everyone

[Q] MHL not working. Any ideas please?

Hi all,
My Note 3 is using the latest official UK firmware (although it's rooted) and the HDMI MHL feature refuses to work, and I suspect it may be the dock.
I bought this

Basically, I plug it all in, it says HDMI connected. I then switch to the HDMI source on my monitor, the phone then quickly says HDMI disconnected, then HDMI connected. However the monitor stays black/in HDMI saving mode.
I was sent a second one from the shop because the first one appeared faulty and the second doesn't work either. I've made a quick vid of my experiences...any ideas?

Shameless bump!

I don't know much about MHL, so I can't give you specifics, but I know there are 2 different pin configurations. The MHL cable I have came with a little tiny adapter for that, and the only way it works is if I plug the adapter into my phone, plug the MHL into the adapter, and plug power into the MHL. Maybe it's something similar?
Mine isn't Samsung, but this is basically what my cable looks like, with the adapter thing....

Cheers, yea I did wonder about that. It's one of these mass produced Chinese items so maybe the sellers have got it wrong and it's not Note 3 compatible at all! I've messaged them and I'll see what they say about it all. Cheers

USB Port issue

Bought this phone as a secondary phone 8 month ago,,
And the USB Port has loosen up...
I bought the phone unofficially so no official service will offer service for me,
Can't I just change the USB C port to a new one?
All the available USB Logic board here are without the fast charging IC

I had this phone and swapped THREE charging boards. It keeps having the same issue and nothing will work. Tried different chargers too. I think this is just a flaw in the design of charging board. I unfortunately had to recycle the device.

The replacement charging board I received was different from the original.
And this is how I charged phone overnight for the contact with the board to keep charging the phone, otherwise it wouldn't charge at all even if the cable was jammed all the way in.

The available charging board here isn't good quality by looking,
I didn't opened the phone yet and I guess it's the USB female socket's issue, will changing this help a bit?
