[Q] I9505G GPE Question - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know where i can find a replacement usb flex cable that will work for my phone? (Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition - GT-I9505G)
It charges but won't connect via USB data. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello,
Make sure that isn't PC or USB cable problem (try another PC/cable if possible). If nothing changes try to factory reset or reflash factory image
If still not working and you're sure that your USB connector it's broken, you can buy the replacement on eBay, search for "galaxy s4 usb flex" or "galaxy s4 daughterboard"
You can use component from i9505/i9505g/i9507/i9508 and US/Canada etc variants. I'm not sure about i9500 component.

Sorry to reply so late it was my cable got a new one from the dollar store of all places and it works now. I now know I have at least 2 cables that can only charge now.

Galaxy s3 usb connection issue for in car use.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Hello, struggling to find anything similar to the issue I am having, sure one of you more tech savvy folk could help.
My car a 10 plate golf has a built in media port through which I can charge and use my media devices, however since receiving my S3 I cannot get it to work. The in car system display states 'media device not recognised.'
To work around this I bought an aux jack to jack and plugged in to it that way and this works fine whilst the phone is disconnected. However when I connect the phone to the usb to charge, it automatically defaults to media device not recognised and disconnects the aux.
My old phone had the same issue (HTC desire) however this could be set to usb charge only which would prevent the car system from trying to use it as a media device simply providing charge.
However, I do not appear to have this option on my shiny S3.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could work around this? I do not really want to charge the phone using the cigarette lighter socket as this has fried other devices in the past.
Many thanks.

Hi, just so you know this isnt the S3 forum, it is the galaxy 3 forum, however I know the problem you are referring to and it happens because "charge only" support was removed from ICS onwards unfortunately. There are apps out there designed to get around this, so far Ive not actually found one that works. I would suggest posting your question in the S3 Section and the general android section as you are more likely to get an answer as and when someone comes up with a fix. hope that answers your question, sorry I couldnt be more help.

SlimPort not working properly

Hi everyone, happy new year best wishes for all...
Im having problems with my slimport connection like some of the people in this thread:
http://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/nexus/o3LTHLbSiv0/vRa3xRaER58J
I get a random connection, i can get like 20secs of mirroring then it fail (no image mirror, no audio, just like unplug it) 5secs then is working fine again. I can get 20secs of 20min sometimes, but it fails again and reconnect. Does someone of you use slimport and hace experienced the same issue?
sorry for my bad english, is hard to explain the issue ^^

That happened to me when I used a very cheap HDMI cable from pound land. Replaced the cable with my original one and it worked fine. Also is it an original slimport or a cheap China copy as I bet cheap ones do the same.
Finally when pairing with your T.V make sure your playing something in H.D on either YouTube or video player as that helps to make a good connection.
Also only use a USB connection and cable when charging never a wall charger as that stops connection.
If you're still having problems then maybe the slimport is damaged.
If you're T.V is an old Samsung they have problems looking at the link you posted as we'll.

LS980 and USB OTG

cant find a solid info that the LS980 supports USB OTG. tried google and now that their discussion filter is gone, it make finding answers a bit harder. same thing here, nothing for sure that it works, but it does for other G2's??
anyway, just got this phone last week and also got a new canon t5i dslr. was hoping to be able to pull the sdhc out of the camera and get an OTG reader for my wifes phone( also a ls980) so she can post pics without the need of a pc, whilst out and about.
thanks for any info!
It should support USB otg I can't think of any reason that lg would disable that feature I know that it is supported in android 4.2.2 by default but it should work.

Works on my d800, I don't see why it wouldnt on yours. Buy a $3 adapter on amazon/eBay and check. I'm about 99.999% positive it will work.

Well i have a ls980 just like you and although i have not used usb otg on my phone i can say that when i go into recovery to wipe data there is an option to wipe usb otg data. I dont know why they would put an option for that if you were not able to use it.

I have a D802 and a generic OTG cable. My friends USB 4GB stick works without problem, but when I try to connect my Kingston DT101 4GB USB stick, that "stick animation" is shown on my LG G2, but memory isn't mounted. I can't see my USB stick in Settings -> Memory. Is there something I can do to make my Kingstone USB stick OTG compatible?

[Q] Need help recovering data from phone with broken Screen

Hey guys!
I've been looking around for help on this one but I've come up short.
I've got a Note 3 and I've killed the LCD. the phone still works can hear it working etc.
I need to backup a game (clash of clans... ). To do this, normally i'd link it to my google account, and then sync it to my new phone (another note 3).
However I cant get access.,.. And Keis will backup my apps but wont let me install them on any phone other than the original!
I saw there was a prog called Android Connect, however my phone didn't have USB debugging enabled. And i'm far too noivice to compile a kernel to enable it.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking a HDMI MHL2.0 cable to get the screen onto the TV, but i'd still need to control it somehow, and the usb port would be taken up by the hdmi adapter so cant plug in a OTG cable and a usb mouse!.
I've tried a MHL1.2 cable and it wont work., but I've found on ebay, mhl1.2 adapters with USB ports, but none that support MHL2.0..
Such a predicament! any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I've invested a lot of time (and admittedly money) into this game and i'd hate to waste it!
Thanks
Sam
I'm in a similar situation. My girlfriend just got a S5 Active a few weeks ago and has managed to break the screen already, and they say guys are hard on stuff. Screen will not come on at all and has a pattern lock. Is there any other way to get into the phone to backup files? Kies would be fine in my case but I can't unlock to use it. Since it is new I hadn't had a chance to set up Samsung find my mobile or Android device manager. Help us both please!

Is your phone rooted?
Hmm looks like this thread died
Nah phone is pretty stock... I have an Sview case so it unlocks the phone for me...
Have ordered an MHL2.0 cable so should be able to see the screen, but still no idea on control
Disregard - didn't see you had not enabled adb.

Unfortunately I don't think I have developer options enabled. Which is causing this predicament.:crying:
Ok. I'm stupid.
Google sidesync. Download and install pc application. Then go to Google Play store on your pc and find sidesync and click install, select your device and let it install remotely (wait about 3-5 min). Reboot your device, launch sidesync on your pc and connect your device via usb. Select usb in pc app.
If all goes well, you'll have full control and phone screen on your pc.

Just tried this with my new Note 3, and you have to run the app on the phone before you can mirror...
Dammit.... so close!
Thanks for the suggestion! feel like im getting somewhere
Argh. I din't recall having to run it first... but yes, progress is always good!
Another option is the Samsung media dock, you can use it to get mhl and usb kb/mouse at the same time.

Lost fast charge and USB data transfer A7 (SM-A7100) - Hong Kong version

Hello. I'm from Mexico and bought SM-A7100 by Internet. Recently, I plugged an OTG USB cable on V8 phone connector. After this, phone lost fast charge and USB data transfer.
On official Samsung repair and service center in my country, technician told me probably sub PBA part (charge system) is damaged but this is not available here. Is it possible to get imported part for this phone model via Internet? Any suggestions? Is charge system expensive?

I really hope you found a solution. Ive been looking an answer for this annoying problem for 6 months!
Ive read almost 50 threads in differents forums about this problem but no solution at all.
- Tried changing charging port. Cost me a few dollars but no solution.
- Tried USB debugging on and off from developers menu.
- Did MTP+ADB option in *#*#0808#* menu.
- Turned Low Battery Dump "on" in *#*#0808#* menu.
- Tried 10 or more different original Samsung cables.
- Upgraded PC USB drivers.
None of them worked for me.
Hope you have made a progress.
Thank you for your response and for your best wishes. I have changed charge port too without success, but it appears the problem is related to logic board of the phone. Since it's a hardware issue, I left the search for a solution. If I get a favorable result, then I'll inform the procedure to you. Best regards.
