Every time i plug in the charger it thinks im plugging in a dock. All it would do is go into docking mode. Now the battery is dead and it won't do anything. Anyone have any advice on a fix or alternate way to charge. I tried every way possible of resetting before it died but to no avail. I appreciate any and all help guys.

My streak 5 did this to me, without any time to waste I went to Best Buy and bought one flat out, tried the new cable and I was good to go, I kept the good cable and returned the new phone to Best Buy.... crappy thing to do I know but i couldn't go without and dell was the only place to get cable.

Sounds like this might be a solution, unless it's the Streak7 that has the connectors wrong.
I'd guess that this has to do with the connexion points in the PDMI cable or port. It has pins that will trigger dock mode and pins that will trigger battery charging (iirc), so perhaps either the ones on the cable or on the S7 are switched around (or have some sort of jump going on due to poor QA).
Ugh, my new Dell 7 won't charge now either. I did charge it once, then flashed HoneyStreak, and now it won't charge. It can connect to my computer's USB port, but no charging.
I think I saw someone suggest to go back a version of HoneyStreak. Any suggestions?

The S7 cannot charge from the computer USB port; it only works with the mains adapter supplied with the device.

What's annoying is the LED goes red like it's charging, but it isn't... or it's draining faster than it's charging.

After looking further into my problem, i see now that part of the board where you plug it in at is broken. Dell sent me a new one, so im gonna crack it open and try bypassing the old charge port and put in a new usb port to charge it with. Then ill have two of them. Ill never know why dell didnt go usb on this thing anyway. Oh wait they did that so we cant buy aftermarket cables for it! Damn is dell owned by microsoft!! Lol. But thx for all the help and helpful ideas everyone!

I am having this problem with a new streak I got for one of my boys, the connector inside is broken. Did you ever get the part replaced? Or is it just an expensive paperweight? What did you have to do to change it out?

I think they planned to have an expansion port, where the connector was used for other things, like HDMI perhaps. HP did the same thing with the Slate 500.

Hmm I#m currently using the usb cable that came with the tab, im not sure if a dock is worth it, for me its only worth it if it has an extra ac adapter so i dont have to use the one that came with the tab.
I might get a second cable, not so sure about the dock yet, as the one I prefer doesnt appear to be on the german amazon site.

hi dudes
my galaxy i9000 does not charge!
i tried to charge it by a nokia n8 USB cable,cause i had forgotten my charger
after that whatever charger i used,even its own, no response!!!
now it doesnt work
several repairmen said that all the gadgets are ok, but the path from the charging socket to the port is cut off somewhere, and nobody has the map for this path!
please,please,please someone help me and provide me with the maps.i desperately need'em!
i spent 700 bloody bucks on this phone.my gmail is [email protected]
Never ever try another phone's charger on Galaxy S, or any expensive phone as a matter of fact. SGS, has different voltage and ampere requirements.
By repair men, do you mean Samsung Service centre? Service centre is your best option if you do not want to risk your phone.

Do you mean: 12kV/80A or more???
Tried standard and travel HTC chargers - no problem. Generic 1A/5V car charger - no problem.
Stop saying fairy-tales, please
I don't know about you, but when I tried using different chargers, the touch on my phone did not work. And I do not want to take the risk to screw up my 600$ phone over some 10$ charger... Get genuine stuff and be on the safer side.

Myhm. First of all, If i'd be you, I would do two things:
1. Compare parameters on orgiginal charger and the replacement
2. Look in accessory threads, for example First in a row
You know, I'm not you, so I like to learn before I write complete bull**** somewhere.
A little bit of education to be on safer side.
Stop being a ***** man. People make mistakes like I did not see the requirements for the charger before hand. The common notion is that if the pin/jack of the charger fits into the phone, the phone will get charged. That is why I said don't be like me and plug in random chargers which fit in the usb port.

You stated previously: "Never ever try another phone's charger on Galaxy S, or any expensive phone as a matter of fact.", what is absolute bull****.
As it is shown in the thread linked by me, ANY charger with current bigger than 900mA will work properly and safely.
The issue, that you have plugged something completely irrelevant to your phone doesn't means that SGS will work ONLY with original charger. Period
And Merry Christmas.
Since there are a lot of knockoffs on ebay I thought I would come in with a pleasant surprise. I bought http://item.mobileweb.ebay.ca/viewitem?itemId=130783773578this expecting the worst and was pleasantly surprised at how well it works on my Note2. The only thing is the usb cord is not very long and you have to have it plugged in so that the phone is charging for it to work, but for the price is awesome.
I ordered one just like that off of ebay as well and it works for me too. They all have to be plugged in to power to work.
Well I learned something today. This is my 2nd Samsung phone and first experience with mhl adapter and didnt know it HAD to be plugged in. Thanks.
Thanks for the link.. at $12 it's a cheap enough gamble.
Can you detail where the length is lacking? Easy enough to add an extension for length?

The HDMI part of the cable is 6 feet like advertised but the usb power part is less than half that length. I have a usb extension cable somewhere but can't find it to try it :banghead:

That's what's posted up a bit and mine wouldn't work without power source. Learning curve lol.
One thing I did notice is that even with it plugged in and "charging" after a couple hours on watching you tube the phone dropped from 80% to 72% battery so not really sure if it's charging or if it just takes that much power. I was using the wall charger that came with my phone so it should have been getting the 2 amps.
I think this mhl cord probably only allows 500ma. Something I use to counter that is this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nkahoang.screenstandby
It allows you to turn off your screen, because even on the lowest brightness it still eats up the battery.
Good thread. There are a couple on amazon like this as well
For those of you who shop at monoprice, their 11 to 5 pin adaptor is back in stock and they even bundle it with an mhl adaptor.
I can't link to it as I just registered here, but it's under accessories>cell phones
Seems like very little anticipation for this.
Is it the lack of features people may have hoped for or the price scaring people off?
Seems like if it can be rooted a whole bunch of possibilities open up.
I may be the only person I know aware of it or wanting one in real-life... How about you guys?

I want one, but waiting to see what interest there is from developers. I have a pebble that I'm pretty happy with. Neptune pine looks good too
Price isn't to much of an issue - it's a new technology, and they are still trying to figure out a good pricepoint. Just light when lcd/plasma screens came out; they were 10's of thousands of dollars
I see a lot of people who were interested using pebbles and Sony. I just thought the Camera function and the syncing features were quite cool in comparison to the others on the market.
I want one, but the price and the proprietary charger are making me think twice.
If the battery life was longer, the charger might not be as big an issue, but if you happen to stay overnight away from home, you can't just plug in any micro USB charger to top up your Gear.
Sony got it right with their 2nd gen smart watch. They switched from a proprietary charger to generic micro USB.

It is usb though no? It just needs that clip for charging? Unless you mean that's annoying which I agree.

Yes, a micro USB plugs into the charging cradle. But who is going to carry the cradle around with them?
Would have been much better to have the usb port on the watch.

An opening for a micro USB port on the watch would defeat the water resistance feature. I might need to buy a second charging cradle.
The anticipation or potential lack there of is due to the fact that it will only pair with the GN3, GN10.1 2014 Edition and won't work with the GN2, GS3 and GS4 until they all get 4.3. It doesn't work with any other phones which I don't think was smart. Samsung should have made it more open to get more users into it. It could have been a gateway drug into more Samsung sales.

The new Sony watch has a better water proof rating than the Gear, whilst still having a micro USB port.
Same with the Experia Z1.
Maybe Samsung wanted to put some of the charging circuitry in the cradle instead of the watch. Good to reduce weight and size, but not very practical...

Im hoping developers take the Gear seriously and do what they can with it. I pre-ordered it so Im excited... but everyone here is making me skeptic lol
