What accessories have you guys purchases soo far. Dont buy a Verizon Xoom case. It blocks the power cord from plugging in without having to open the case.

This would probably fit better in the Accessories forum where you will find other posts already on what people have bought.

I have just switched over to the Storm (which I am loving but missing the flexibility of the 6800) and so I am selling off my old 6800 on Verizon. It is in perfect working order except that the USB sync doesn't work with the computer (or at least not on mine). Would be good for someone who wants a spare or doesn't care about syncing with a computer, or someone who wants to try out ROMS etc on a spare.
Comes with box, accessories and 1gb Sandisk card for flashing.
Make sensible offers please. Email is rosshardy - at - tampabay.rr.com or reply on this thread and I will try to check in on it.
I have a buddy looking for one, I was going to help him find one on ebay but I like to help out members on the board here first. Any indication of price? Does the unit charge just not sync? Any scratches? Had a screen protector on it etc...
Yes it charges fine, just doesn't sync. Not unusual, I had 2 others that did the same and never worked out if it was hardware or my computer (I think hardware though). I should also mention that I have a car charger for it and another 4 gb card for media as well if the person is interested.
It has a minor ding, screen is immaculate, was only used for 3 months and I am obsessive about my phones. I can send pictures if you want to email me with your address.
Anything around the $150 plus shipping would be acceptable I guess if that seems reasonable? Or make an offer
hi sir, check ur PM...
I also have a XV6800 that I am looking to sell. I just had it replaced by Verizon, so it's a refurb with a 01/19/2009 refurb date. I can even give you the Factory diagnostics test sheet they sent with it.
Nothing wrong with it whatsoever.

How much? Looking for any trades?
I think a lot of people wanting a pda cheap (no data plan with 6800) on verizon will be picking these up. Keep posting up anyone who wants to sell theirs and we will try to find buyers! I will get back to my buddy and see what his budget is and all that. Thanks all!

Is it me ? I am an IT consultant, I have been into electronics my whole life,
well since 7th grade,i`m 45+ yrs old and treat everything with respect....
How could my 5-6 week old HTC EVO already have charging issues ? when i got home tonight I plugged in the factory HTC usb charger and heard a click.....
well guess what no the little "Charging" light does`nt come on unless I wrap the wire under the phone, this will not be good in the car....
Bringing it to a Sprint store is not an option as i`m not on a plan,i`m one of the
other customers
is there a repair center ? or should i buck up another 60 bucks for a charging mat

I really dont see how you can be complaining then, since you dont even pay for service...
If I'm correct $35 should cover any repair when you don't have insurance.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yep, pay the $35 and then ask to add TEP...or not, depending on your perspective, it may or may not be worth it.
or you can always fix it yourself.

Thank you for the information, I looked into the charging mat and that is not an option as it too utilizes the micro usb jack,and with the new back on the phone that it requires makes my Seidio Innocase Holster Case Combo useless...It seems the charging mat people don't have a holster available (yet??) Anyways if i position the phone just right its taking a charge, but still , poor design for sure on HTC`s part here...I will look into having it repaired or order a jack and attempt tit myself I guess....Happy Holidays to all
Hi guys,
Can anyone tell me how on Eart I go about getting the charger replaced under warranty? I've registered my TF on Asus' site but I'm finding it difficult to raise a request for this. Basically, the plug on the end of the charger keeps coming loose and my TF only seems to charge intermittently as a result of this. The charger is a little bizarre in my opinion. Could have been built a little better and they could have at least given us more slack with the cable! It is painfully short! Thanks!
Vipergrm,
I called the customer service number here in the US (888-678-3688) and waded thru the many menus until I got to the TF people and told them mine had just quit working. They gave me an RA number to return the bad unit which they plan to replace. I had purchased a spare just in case and now i am using that one as my main charger.[they call that playing the odds] I plan on building a good one using a 12volt 2amp switching power supply. There is a thread on how to do that.
Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot for your reply. So they actually want the charger back before they replace it? That's a total pain. Is there no third party ones available anywhere? I can pay about £3 for an iPod/iPad charger but yet the Transforner is £25 for some reason. Probably the same in US dollars. Oh well. I'll try find a second one here in the UK. I suppose a spare is always handy. Thank you!

Mine died a couple of months back ..I called ...got a RMA ...sent it off and I got a brand new one sent to me. I had already bought a spare so no problem.
I believe (but don't quote me) a IPod/Ipad charger operates at 5 volts...a TF at 15 volts.....look up 15 volt chargers that put out 1200mA or more like on ebay...I'm sure your find they aren't the cheapest thing going.
For an alternative check out this thread....I have a simular one I made for a spare and keep the other extra TF one I bought in my travel case

I need a lot a power for my phone and I thought having a couple of extra batteries would be a good idea. I am planning on carrying around two extra batteries in my wallet inside a plastic bag. Is that a bad idea? Also, how fast does the battery lose power if I fully charge it and don't use it for several days? Thanks.
Bought this today

Be carefull when you buy replacment batteries, I've bought another one in ebay, i've bought the same one, it's says samsung, but I can only charge it at 26%. so bad :/
---------- Post added at 09:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------
but anyway, buy some, it's helpfull, and cheap ^^
Yes, I know ebay sells a lot of low quality and misleading products. I still would like to know is it safe to store two batteries in my wallet in a ziplock bag and how quickly do fully charged batteries drain over time when your not using them. Lets say I kept them in my wallet for a day, few days, a week and I didn't use them. Will they still be fully charged? How fast do they lose their charge? Thanks.
Bump.
Bump, maybe the mod could move this to the S4 accessories forum?
I also bought 2 batteries replacement and a wall charger for them... Hopefully are good, with my S3 the ones I bought were really useful.

I don't trust ebay, full of scams and ripoffs. This looks like a good deal from a legit company.

its around 115 grams btw and only a tiny bit thicker than the s4. really a great buy from the look of it if you need extra battery.
I ordered two of these.
If no one can answer my questions I am going to repost this in the accessories forum.
So I have a S4 that was dropped in water and everything works great. . . other than the touchscreen. The picture is clear as can be on it, but I just cant touch it.
So I am looking for ideas on what to do with such a device.
Any ideas would be great.

buy circuit cleaner, buy a cheap toothbrush with no rubber bristles, open up your phone, remove your motherboard, spray brush and motherboard and quickly clean before liquid dries up, also do the same thing to the flex cables connection ports to the lcd and digitizer. lastly for good measure spray the charging port flex connectors and the actual charging port are cleaned. if it doesnt work you might need a new digitizer + lcd assembly.
Throw it in the garbage or claim on insurance. While sometimes phones recover after a water soaking, you will usually end up with a paperweight after the real damage begins to materialize later on.

If the phone was waterlogged recently, I would say to let it dry for a few days to a week,before turning it on again.

I did claim the insurance on it, and kept it. So I have a extra one to mess around with. . . . if I can get it working.
I am not sure if it will work, but I am thinking of getting a cord to do video out and use a bluetooth or use mouse and seeing where I can go from there.
I know some phones have chrome OS as a ROM so I might try that.
If you can't get it to work...
If you can't get the phone to work, you can sell it for "parts or repair" on eBay. People do this a lot with their broken phones and you can get a pretty good amount of money for a newer phone like the S4. The person who buys it will either try to fix it or use it for spare parts. I've seen broken iPhones go for hundreds of dollars. Trust me, even if it works now, it won't work a few months from now. I had a phone that got waterlogged and after it dried out it worked just fine but it died a few months later.

Was it Assurian? Won't they bill you for the retail price of the phone if you don't return it to them?

If I am going to pay the same price for a lost phone vs a broken phone then I will call it lost and keep a half broken phone around for a fun project.
And I am almost sure they get their money worth...
$10 a month for 3 years is 360 plus 150, so I have paid them $520 in the long run. Now they give me some refurb phone, and I am going to say they are still making out very well. . . and that is just counting the insurance I pay on that phone. . . . so I have not even added in the money I pay or the other two lines.
Just saying. . . .
Also, not really the point to what I am asking, I am more looking for fun or cool ideas as to what I can try with it.
But the price of phones are so high only because we all pay the price and let them charge it. I mean do you really think it cost $600 to build a S4?
With 27.2 billion US dollars in profit for 2012 I am going to take a guess and say they are not hurting? Well thats just how I feel about it.
Well I might try to repair it, but after that I am still trying to find something cool to do with it. . . . . I dont want it just sitting in my desk for the next year.
Just an idea
Here's an idea:
For a small amount of money you can get some really good emulators on the Play Store that will allow you to play Play Station 1, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance and PSP games on your phone. There are also emulators for older consoles, too. Download ROMs (but only for games that you paid for) and turn it into a dedicated gaming phone!
Try these:
FPse
DraStic
SuperN64
PPSSPP
My Boy!
or you can paste plastic googley-eyes on it, sharpie yourself a crazy-mouth, and use it to keep your important documents from blowing off your desk!
