Hi. I'm in the idea stadium of a DIY car holder/charger since the ones out now looks stupid to me.
I need a smaller charger like the Nokia dt-900 which people tell me doesn't work well with n4 (comments on that?)
While looking at what is out now I've come to notice one thing (many actually), some sellers say that to get the n4 to work with their chargers you have to place the phone high on the charger in order to line up the coils. Looking at LG's charger this looks false:

}
The charger is placed above the phones centre line. This isn't really that a big issue but anyway strange.
The charger I need also need to be powered at 5 or 12v to simplify installation in car.
Please feel free to help me with your findings in this matter.
As for the DIY details, I'll let you in later on.
EDIT: The phone has to be high on the charger, not the opposite as I wrote :s
The Nokia chargers don't work well with anything pre- Hardware Revision 12 (if I remember correctly). So if you have a brand spanking new Nexus that says it is Revision 12 the Nokia might work.

What's the difference between revisions that makes it work?
I thought the problem with the nokia charger was that it didn't provide enough power to actually charge the phone reliably.

I've been using this for a few months now.

I don't have a car charger so no, i don't sit in my car and wait for my phone to charge...
I didn't get an in-car charger with my Nexus so i don't even know what you're on about with a stock charger... Unless you moaning at everyone who uses in car chargers? Cos they're pretty handy when you're using Co-Pilot on long journeys.
While disassembling the HD2 to fix the overheating CPU issue, I accidentally snapped the cable that is attached to the volume controls. Since hacking on the hd2 always involved the volume controls, it's necessary that I find a solution, so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I circled in red the point on the cable that snapped. So all in all, I ask if this current board/cable can be repaired or do I need to find a replacement.

Ok judging by all the replies so far suggesting I just buy a replacement, it's safe to say that this part is unfix-able and must be replaced?
Only ever seen a ribbon repaired once & that was done by a micro soldering expert & done due to lack of available part.
best bet is new at about $25 inc P&P WW .
Used can found on xda I expect if browse or post a wanted part thread ...
I m a good electronic tecnichian,I solder from about 10 year,I chipped many and many ps1 ps2 xbox ecc.I have a professional aoyue 968 soldering and reworking station,and really good hand and sight.I ve tried to solder the flex of my hd2,the one for spare parts,so I could maybe have 2 hd2 instead of one.I can tell you that it s not possible,and I m sure that no one could solder a thing like taht
So I finally have a tv with hdmi and I called around 4 a micro hdmi radio shack wanted 40usd for it I was like kiss my ass lol so I went to biglots a store that sells stuff that other stores don't found a 5ft cord 14usd the brand is (e source) I will include pics hope the don't get crappy after upload.. any way the cord mirrors acer for a second then goes blank just kinda figure its a cheap crappy cord so if that's true can someone point me a good cheap cord 10ft preferable please thanks guys!

Not sure about that particular cable but can say if it has Ethernet it is a 1.4a rated cable. One of the newest standards out. I used a cheap cable on my wife's Xoom and had non problem. Many places to get cheap cables.
Mono price.com. , merit line.com shoot even amazon and eBay. Maybe there was a different issue there.
I see that it is a crap cable I plugged it in again and it worked but it was a little off like with the picture size like I only see 2 squares of the right top side app draw button
Thanks I didn't know this was the new style I will exchange it tomorrow b4 I leave for Detroit test at my brothers house
Edit- also cable needs to be in one position or no pic its 100% a dud can't wait to play n64 or modern combat 3 on big screen!

Not sure if that helps.
Here is another great site I go to although nothing to with phones explains a lot.

Hi,
I'm after an external battery pack, preferably with quite high capacity, that has a micro-usb port to charge the pack. I've seen like mini-USB one's and the DC in but I need a micro-usb one to make things easy for me
Have you come across one like this?
Cheers
check my instagram post. 2nd from the latest. can't get the short URL since I'm on my phone right now. instagram: ijustzeke

I have this as my backup

It's more than enough.

Don't know if you can charge it via microusb though, not released yet.
I've had good luck with Anker's internal batteries in the past (HTC Sensation) so I'd trust their battery packs. Not sure off the top of my head if any of them charge via microusb.
http://dx.com/p/cager-b030-10000mah...er-w-adapters-sd-slot-2-led-light-grey-167568
The cager ones look to have a microusb port, although I can't vouch for the quality of the batteries. Considering the N4 can support usb-otg with a custom kernel and external power, the cager may be a nice touch if you are looking for external storage via sd card.
the anker astro3 (10,000mAh/ 3A) charges with a micro-sd cable -- there's a short curly one supplied (+ alternative tips) which you can then reverse to charge the N4 from the Anker.

i got mine for £25.99 shipped from amazon uk and i'm very satisfied with it. it's about 20% larger and heavier than the N4.
Can I use Nexus 6p's charger for my oneplus 2.I have read somewhere that it shouldn't be.Is that true?

You can use any charger you have in hand.
This Nexus charger will work fine, quick charge won't work because op2 doesn't support that only standard 5V 1.5A/2A

Wow O.O very scary indeed
Any way i think that was a damaged/defective cable... I've been using a generic dual port charger and op2 official cable, also portable anker e5 and it's working fine

Pretty sure that's only if you use a cheap low quality charger.
As long as it's a good quality charger, then it will be fine. I've been using an Anker multiport charger for over a year with no issues. Got the USB-C compliant Anker cables recently as well, the default OP2 cable isn't exactly great quality.
