Hey guys, I did a search for my issue, but found no relevant solutions.
I am using a much older ROM, Gingerblur 3.1 with v 1.83 and I just bought a new lapdock. The funny thing is, all the instructions came in Spanish, but I don't think that would necessarily be the issue. The weird thing is when I open it with phone plugged in, it does not go into lapdock mode, but on the phone I get prompted to go into Webtop or multimedia mode. I go into Webtop mode and it looks like how the lapdock mode should look, however, I can not use the touchpad or a USB mouse that I plugged in. However, on the phone screen itself, it shows a mouse pad essentially, and option to go to keyboard, so it thinks its only plugged in via HDMI to a screen only. The funny thing is though, if I do not turn the phone screen on by pressing the power button, it says No Signal Input: HDMI, which implies that it knows a phone is connected via USB since that screen does not come up when the phone is plugged in. I am also not using a case so I know it is firmly plugged in with no obstructions. Someone else had the same issue with a different ROM in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598132&page=2
Please help! Is this a ROM issue? I was planning to switch over to the NottachTrix4G ROM, but it seems the same issue may be occurring there. I think I still have 30 days to return it, but I would love to resolve the issue. Any thanks would be much appreciated.
I had this problem. You buy from onesaleaday? Sent mine to Motorola for repair. Defective USB connector. Thread is in accessories forum. Moto couldn't find serial number in their system, but they took care of me.
Probably your documentation is in Brazilian Portuguese.......not Spanish. Look same but not same.
It is not a ROM issue.

It is in Spanish for sure, I can read Spanish. I bought it on Amazon from some reseller who had only one in stock from Bakersfield CA, which is a 2 hour drive from me. Thought it was a good idea. Should I return it? Or can Motorolla help me out with a product I did not buy from them?
I really feel like the USB is not defective, or that it at least is detecting my USB connection since it prompts the message about NO HDMI cable in place, which cannot be achieved unless the phone is plugged in. Obviously you can't test with just the USB connection alone and no HDMI, but my IT spidey senses are tingling. Could you link me to the thread you were referring to? I was looking for it but I could not find it.

Mine was doing exact same thing. There is a known issue where connectors, especially USB in lapdock do not stick out far enough to make a good connection. I called Motorola, they arranged overnight shipping both ways, no problems. Had it back in a week fully functional.

Turns out mine starts with a serial number starting with a B, but all the localization is for Mexico according to the packaging. Gonna try to see whats up with a warranty.
Edit: My B serial number was in the system, and I have files a warranty replacement request, thanks so much for your help CaelanT!

Glad I could help.
As an added note for anyone else, the shipping is handled better if you have them set up the RMA over the phone, and do not set it up yourself online.
They actually told me this themselves when I called them. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised at the customer service being as good as it was.

however, this solution actually resolved it for me, I should have trusted my IT sleuthing skills because I knew the USB connector was working since it was charging properly, let that be a lesson to anyone else searching for a solution, if your phone is charging while plugged in, the USB connector is working properly, this is probably related to the fact that I am using nottachtrix4g which I have seen mentioned before as an issue
I had posted previously that not charging was an indication of USB failure. None of the normal USB functions were working for me. My apologies if I sent you down the wrong road.

I sent mine to Motorola as well and got it back with a message that there was not a problem with the device. I was running stock Atrix when I first tested. Nottachtrix didn't work for me either.
I was under the assumption that the Lapdock was simply a HDMI monitor and USB Host. Have since installed CM10 (epinter) and still experiencing the same issue.
**Ninja Edit: Yes I'm a noob
I connect my lapdock and it works. After a few minutes the display still works but the keyboard/trackpad are unresponsive. Any ideas?
Just wanted to post up another suspected failure - i just received my atrix(Hebrew edition) lapdock from Ben's Outlet - no charging on the usb port with my bionic (dismantled the dock location to connect the wires before modifying the casing)
I'm guessing after all the reading in the forums I've done that the only option is to warranty claim with Motorola ?
I also noticed i have no serial sticker on the bottom(but do have the hologram and another model number sticker) - I'll have to check the box for the serial unless there's another way to get the serial number?
Thanks for posting up this discussion! Saved me hours of banging my head against a wall, i really wish the thing was working though...

Well my X10 usb port is broken and won't charge, so I decided I might as well get a new phone (I looked up trying to fix it and etc but came up with nothing). I bought the phone unlocked and had it imported back when it first came out so no warranty for me. Well anyway the point of this is I decided I don't want to spend so much money right now so I'm gonna stick with phones provided by my service provider which is T-Mobile US, so at the moment I have the choice between the Samsung Vibrant & the myTouch 4G and I just wanted to hear some opinions on that (I don't really like physical keyboards so the G2 is out) I'm still going to do my own research but its always nice to hear other peoples thoughts.
you could just buy a portable charger for the battery...
RS Online has micro USB-ports, and if you fear that won't look any good it's a good opportunity to hack it into wireless charging:
http://www.rs-online.com/index.html
http://www.slashgear.com/htc-evo-4g-touchstone-hack-adds-wireless-charging-video-1389601/
Um a portable charger wouldn't be able to help me if I need to connect the phone to the computer to do things like flashing and etc
Have you tried another charger? Had the same problem and a new charger worked, phoned my provider they sent me a replacement and I just swapped the charger.

Yeah tried multiply different ones. At this point I know its a fact its the usb port because its jiggling.
So what's your plan with the broken device? RMA, selling as defective, or leaving in a drawer?
If the latter then try fixing it first - it's not the first phone with a loose micro-usb port.

Hi.
The mic on my phone has stopped working so no one can here me now during a phone call. I've tried a factory reset and re-installing my current rom checkrom v6. Still the problem is there.
It seems to me to be a hardware problem. My niece dropped my phone onto a dinner plate and got tomato sauce on it. Not a lot but some of it got into the speaker and micro usb port. I cleaned it immediately but looks like it's caused some damage.
Can anyone offer me a solution to this problem.
I'm thinking I'll need to replace the mic on the phone. Can anyone link me to a guide on how to do this? I'll probably replace the usb port as I've had issues with that for ages now.
Thanks
If you are not a person who is able to fix phones and such then I'd advise you to simply send the phone back to your carrier and tell them to fix it. (if you've still got your warranty)
Unlucky :/ Maybe next time don't let your niece near the phone within a 5 mile radius?
Have a good day and good luck with the phone :]

I'm on pay as you go and I bought the phone second hand about 7 month ago so sending it back not really an option.
Just to update, when I turn on the speaker function when in call the mic works fine.

I believe the part for the USB port will have the lower mic attached anyways. I think you're looking for part number GH59-10949A. You can find service manuals for various Samsung phones on www.samfirmware.com. But you'll need to register on that site (it's free) to download them. Passwords on the archive files are "samfirmware.com".

That's because the speakerphone function uses the top mic, not the bottom mic.

Glad you got it worked out.
If you're interested, to help with protecting my USB port, I ordered some of these. They come 3 covers per order.
(I am in no way affiliated with this company...)
I decided it was prudent after reading all the horror stories on the forums about USB ports failing/overvoltage warnings/computers not detecting/chargers not registering.
hi guys,
after abit of help. i bought a hdmi adaptor, from amazon this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007K8NNOA/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
so that i would be able to play content from my phone straight through to my tv. I also bought a new hdmi lead and i connected using the phone charger and lead that came with the phone.
When i plug it all together it shows on the phone that hdmi out is connected and i can display video or photos on the external device. But no matter what i do i cannot get a picture to display on the tv.
Am i doing something wrong? Or does it never work? I tried rebooting the phone i tested the hdmi lead to make sure it works. Is there another option on the phone i need to select to i need to use a different app?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Are you on the stock rom/kernel? I can't say I use this feature as much as I thought I would, but I have noticed some kernels break this feature (though I can't say which ones anymore - been a while) and I've seen some roms break this as well. I don't know if this was a placebo or what, but I also noticed that it broke for me after removing some of Sprint's or HTC's bloatware... I think it was the transfer app, but it doesn't make much sense to me why.
I'd try it on a full stock rom/kernel first to make sure it's not software related. Then try it on multiple TVs. I actually had an experience once where it wouldn't display on my TV, but worked fine on my HDMI enabled pc monitor - same symptoms you're describing. Tried different kernel, all was better. But I've also read about people just having a bad mhl adapter or bad hdmi cable too.
As above it needs to be supported by rom and kernal. Try a stock configuration and see what happens. If that fails it might be a faulty adaptor, these cheap ones are known to fail easily.
i appreciate your guys help. i am on stock rom/kernal. my tv is pretty new. The phone is showing as having a hdmi connection so wasn't sure if it could still be the adaptor? i will try it on another tv at the weekend. if it still doesn't work maybe send the adaptor back?
so it should display whilst playing a film through the stock video player? i dont need to use a special programme or anything else?
It automatically displays whatever is on the phone's screen. No need for anything special beyond plugging it in. It could still be a faulty adapter even though the phone shows hdmi.
Another idea might be to double check your tv out settings on the phone. Make sure those are correct.

ive looked everywhere in the phone settings and cannot find it. also i read through the manual and must be really dumb as i cannot see anything in there about it either.
@ scariola thanks i tried your suggestion as well.
i would be really interested to hear if anyone ever got this to work?
You have to have it plugged into the wall outlet as well. Just a thought
just an update guys i tried it on an oldish portable tv and it worked? so no idea why it doesn't work here at home???
still thanks for all the help.
Hi, I have the Galaxy Note i717 and had to replace my charging port as it had stopped charging reliably. I bought one of the many on ebay for around 8 bucks. I proceeded to put it in when I received it but to my dismay I no longer could get service at all, just wifi. So just to verify it was nothing I broke I put the old pcb back in and service returned. At that time I believed it was just a defective unit, so second try at it same thing no service old one works fine. Is this a problem anyone has ran into before? Any help I would appreciate.

It is quite possible that either your new port is the wrong part, or is damaged.
The port wiring is different between models ...I.E. SGH-I717, N7000, and other note models.
Even the charge cables are different part numbers between models, but visually look identical.
It just sounds like the port wiring is different to me ..
I suggest getting the port directly from samsung...even though it will cost a bit more.
At least then you have a fall back if the port won't function.
Or perhaps have the port repaired by Samsung directly ....
I'm sorry I can't offer more help .g

Well both pcb boards that they sent me have the same markings as the one I removed. They also say on them SGH_I717_SUB_REV1.0_1107
So I do believe it to be the correct part. Just to clarify the new boards do charge the phone just cellular service stops. Maybe by some crazy luck I got two faulty boards. I wasn't sure they were going to send me a replacement so I ordered from another company as well so I guess I will have to see if that one works,
Interesting ....
The part seems okay ...
And the odds of two bad ports in a row is remote at best ....
Some time ago I saw a thread about an extra wire that traveled down from the antenna to the charging port....
And users were reporting that this very small wire was being damaged or missed when the port was serviced.
I've never seen this wire or connection ......but I figured I'd bring it up ..
Try a general search on the topic ...and see if it yields a result.....
I just remember it being a big deal ....g
Just wanted to update the post in case this happens to anyone else. After getting the free replacement for the first part I believed to be defective I also ordered from another company as it took more than a month for my replacement, so I believed them to had stood me up. Well the one from the other company arrived today, and worked. Maybe the others were for different networks or something. I don't know if that is possible Rogers vs ATT frequencies and what not but it worked and all is well.

I am having issues as well...
My phone has a Rev1.0_1107 part, and I cannot charge unless I play with the cable, so i decided to replace this port.
1st was from China (ebay) and received no signal, only wifi. Rev1.0_1107
2nd was a replacement from the same company, same issue. Rev1.0_1107
3rd was from a place in CA (ebay) and is Rev2.0_1206 and same issues.
I can put my original part in there, and I get signal just fine... anybody have any ideas on this matter? It's frustrating to have to keep battery swapping and would like to get this fixed.

Noted... thanks. I have searched them out and they only appear to have the cable for the N7000. Can anyone else recommend a place to buy these from?
Just noticed that when it's near my window, I get 1 bar of service... So it's like my signal strength is uber weak. I have a microcell in my home, and it is functioning properly (other ATT phones are connecting just fine) and works again as soon I put the original cable back.
Hi,I have a samsung Note N7000.
I'm have a similar issue,start with high power charging issue every 5seconds.I bought a replacement from ebay company in New Jerse it fixed that problem.but it created a problem when I make a call the other end can not hear me.I email the company and they sent #2 replacement.after
the charging port board was installed now I dont have any signal for service.the pcb# N7000/i9220_sub_Rev1.0.
I'm going try different company.what should I be looking for?I'm wasting too much time on this.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I wanted to bring this to others attention. What Gregsarg said about a white wire running down from the antenna is correct, or at least it is on an i717. It runs down from the right hand side of the board, behind where the flex board connects and onto the little round connector on the flex board, it's probably that that's been missed off of some phones as would be noticed by only getting 1 bar of signal! I've also noticed that the UK version of the note only has 4 brass connectors on the flex board 2 for the antenna and 2 for the speaker whereas the i717 has 5, 3 for the antenna and 2 for the speaker. I'm not sure what the difference is between a white or black i717 to be honest, i'd have thought it would only be the outer casing that had changed, I can't see them changing parts too, that just sounds stupid!
Anyway, the reason I'm posting is not just because of the above, it's because i'm in the middle of fixing an i717 for someone and was searching to see if a N7000 part would fit and although it looks as though it would I'm not willing to test that theory! I will say though that the missing brass connector is also connected to brass connector 2 on the Ariel/speaker module but on the flex board that connector also has a resistor above it which would likely cause an issue!
The part that i'm ordering is from a company in the UK but is a Rev 2.0 board and not the rev 1.0 that is in it already so i'm hoping that's not an issue else i'm gonna have to buy from China which is cheaper but will likely take an age to get here and the customer wants it done ASAP so what they want they get! I will update this thread once i've fitted the part and got it running along with a link to where I got it from.

The part that i'm ordering is from a company in the UK but is a Rev 2.0 board and not the rev 1.0 that is in it already so i'm hoping that's not an issue else i'm gonna have to buy from China which is cheaper but will likely take an age to get here and the customer wants it done ASAP so what they want they get! I will update this thread once i've fitted the part and got it running along with a link to where I got it from.

When getting the part, Revision usually does matter. Also the serial number under the revision number (Usually starting with DRC or DRG) can also matter. Getting the identical one is usually the best bet (albeit not the easiest considering people on ebay use stock images and don't show you the ACTUAL part you're getting.)

I got the new part this morning, it was a REV 2.0 board and after putting it all back together including the white/grey ariel wire I can report that it's working perfectly, as good a signal as it had before and is now charging properly. The link to the UK based seller is here for anyone interested that needs a replacement in the UK - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300819833823?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 The part is £19.99 with no P&P and arrived in 1 day. Just in case the link doesn't work then the name of the supplier is gravedigga1.
EDIT:- I heard back from my customer today who has reported having problems with wifi, signal and loudspeaker! Therefore the Rev 2.0 part won't act as a decent replacement for the Rev 1.0 unfortunately. I wasn't able to fully test as the customer didn't leave his sim card in and he uses 1 of those weird networks which I don't have a sim for. I have managed to source another UK supplier on ebay for an even cheaper price of £12 and they verified that it is a Rev 1.0 board they have in stock and have put 1 aside for me. Once I know that one works for definite i'll report back again just to update the thread but this time the customer is bringing the phone when the new part is here so it can be tested fully before it goes back to him!
I just find it strange that even though the Rev 2.0 is exactly the same in every way as the Rev 1.0 board that it has these issues although i've not heard of the loudspeaker problem before so I think there's a fault with it anyway.
Yeah these notes are getting really dodgy in their old age. We've decided to basically not fix abutting except the screens anymore because getting the right parts is a nightmare.

This may be a little off key here and if I'm in the wrong thread I apologize but...
I have the i717, bought the charging port off of eBay and replaced it. After plugging in the phone the touch keys at the bottom lit up like I was in business. After allowing the phone to "charge" for about 2 hours, the touch keys were the only thing to work and light up on the phone. I could press the lock key on the side and the touch keys would come off and on like it was on the lock screen but the screen was black. Has anyone encountered this before? If so, please help!
Thank you
Btw, it seemed like the phone was charged/charging bc those touch keys were on...

Pease Help..i717..charge port
Hello ,
My name is Russ and I have a Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-i717 ( AT&T ) which I love . About two months ago the charge port quit working , so I ordered one from Ebay ( Flex cable , Mic/USB board ) , installed it and my signal was weak after installing it so I reinstalled the original board and it went back to full power . I thought it was a bad board , so they sent me another , I installed board #2 and the speaker on the back had no sound , put my board back in and the speaker went back working . So I had the supplier send me another board #3 . I got it installed , and the Mic wouldn't pick up , I put my board back in everything goes back to normal . So I thought it might be the supplier , so I tried a different supplier , same thing . In total I have tried three different suppliers and I lost count on how many boards I have installed .. Every time I can reinstall the original board and it will stop whatever it's doing wrong . My board Number is SGH_I717_SUB_REV1.0_1107 , DRBL12IN BF , 69 . I am at a lost , I don't know if there's something I'm doing wrong . Thank You for your time ib6469 ( Russ )

Please let me know if anyone has had any luck finding a board that works... i am in the exact same boat... email me at bnanda0827 at yahoo.com

So it looks like basically fixing the charge port on a galaxy note just isn't going to hapen if you want service. Nobody has found a solution?
Hi ,
My galaxy S2 is have a problem .... whenever i connect it to a power out / computer the power supply starts fluctuating because of which i cannot use my usb port on my phone to charge so i take out the batter and charge it with an external charger.
Is there any way i can root my phone without connecting it to my computer ?
And one more thing is there anyway i can get my USB port to work ?
I bought this phone when i was in USA but after i shifted back to India this problem started occurring.
The service center people cannot repair or replace it as its the USA version and not the International version.Some parts of International version are not compatible with this US version according to the service center guys.They also said that its IC is short circuited but i think when IC is short circuited the phone does not give display but its working all fine.
Please help me with these 2 things -
1.Rooting my phone without connecting to PC
2.Getting my phones USB port back to work
I'm guessing your USB port has a problem check out this thread
in my case the phones not charging.....
The phone reboots when the charger is connected
The answer to your question is no. Unless I've completely overlooked something.
You will need a good usb port to be able to root the phone. There have been a couple of people who have reported that they successfully replaced their own usb port, and say it is relatively simple to do. It may take a while to get a replacement port, but since the part is small, shipping to India should not be prohibitive. Replacing your own usb port seems to be the only practical fix for your problem.

where can i find a working USB port ?
Google it. Not being rude but damn...
If you have a question about when the next CD by your favorite artist comes out, you google it right? When you need to know where to find which site has the best price on that CD you google it, right?
Use that same logic here. You need a part, google it.
Also, eBay has been known to have items people want to sell that anyone can bid on. Knowing you need it shipped overseas, it would be good to make sure the seller will ship it to your location before buying it.
(Searching these forums will present you with the answer as to which part you need to look for)
