Has anyone seen any kind of battery cases made, even if they are type c in general that allow data transfer and desktop mode out with the case on?
Also, is there a way to get desktop mode out through the dual screen?

I've done searches and read here and on other forums. I am at my wits end. I'm using my touch pro with my laptop but the phone get's hot and turns off. It also doesn't charge while tethering. Does anyone have an actual solution to this problem? Is there a Rom that solves this problem? I love my phone but I travel 2x a month and don't want to pay for the WIFI in these hotels.
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks

doesnt sound normal to me, did you contact sprint TS about this issue (wouldnt tell them you are tethering tho)?
get a long usb cable, put the phone next to the AC. the phone should be cooled enough to charge while tethering.
Go to Settings (WM, not TF3D)|System|Power and the Battery tab.
Make sure "When device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the PC." is unchecked.
As cloudy987 indicated, get the phone into a good cool air flow. Maybe even take the back off while tethered. Plastic is not that good a conductor.
there is a hack out there from nuerom that makes it so your battery driver works differently and allows it to charge more or till it hits a little bit of a higher temp or something (too lazy to re read the posts) but there is also a over/under clocking utility on the site that works on some versions of winmo (i think on 6.5+ it causes a deadlock on boot and forces you to factory reset ) but it allows you to change the processor speed to lower while teathered and makes it so the device wont over heat...

this was a issue for me while on energy roms,i had to go to tweaks and in the tool folder and disable the fast charge toggle,i have to on most custom roms,but no issues after i turn it off
could be that the USB connector is getting screwed up... the one on my Titan went and it started with not being able to tether/sync, then it progressed to not being able to charge it.
I actually melted my phone with wifirouter and had to replace it. Luckily it was under warranty. Most of the time simply placing it on a small desktop fan kept it cool. Unfortunately for mine the damage was done before I figured this out. Treat it like an overclocked PC. It needs extra cooling to keep it from cooking itself.
I picked up an HTC desk dock today and may have found a pretty substantial security flaw.
If you dock the phone while it is locked, Dock Mode will automatically enable.
From the Dock Mode home screen simply click the small X in the left hand corner and it takes you to the regular desktop. No need to enter any security code...
Basically docking the phone over rides the security measures and opens the phone to anyone who might want to use it or access your information.
Is there a setting that I am missing???
If you REMOVE it from the dock, it remains in an unlocked state and is completely vulnerable.
Can someone else test this for me please. If there is no way to work around this, its definitely going back. I cant leave this thing on my desk unsecured.
I can't help you, but what are you trying to hide from your wife?

I use app protector. Select the apps you don't want no one to access and it's done...it require a code unlock it. problem solved...

If you REMOVE it from the dock, it goes back to a locked state... but as long as it remains on the dock it is wide open.

if you are leaving your phone in a location that require it to be secure with a lockscreen, I won't even leave my phone there AT ALL! people can always just take your phone and try to unlock it at their lesiure

Im not trying to hide anything from my wife, she knows better than to access my phone, tablet or computer without my consent. I do work in a very competitive market that has pressured people in the past to do such things as steal contact lists, emails, etc.
It is also a secure floor in a building where only badged employees are allowed. So the idea of the phone disappearing is not very valid. If it suddenly disappeared off of my desk, there would be a complete lock down and no one would be going anywhere until it was located.
I will definitely check in to the app protector program. Thank you!
FYI, this dock: http://www.cellularfactory.com/det.jsp?d=51136&c=765263 doesn't trigger dock mode automatically, costs less than the HTC (currently $20) and has enough clearance to allow you to dock the phone in a case, as long as it's not too thick for the USB connection to plug in.
Oh, and for a few $ more, they have this one: http://www.cellularfactory.com/det.jsp?d=51135&c=765263, which also charges a spare battery.
Visidon app lock is also a cool facial recognition app that allows you to lock specific apps.
Spoke to three different people at HTC today, one of which was from an engineering department of some sort. He was shocked to be able to replicate exactly what I have described here.
I think they will try to figure out a fix for this in the form of a software update of some sort.
In the mean time, time to go back to just plugging it in to the USB cable.
Good to know a fix for this issue is on the way.
anyone know if there are any? Im new to the laptop dock and 1. cant find where to get them and 2. how to pin them to the "task bar" area. The laptop dock is SOOOO close to being a replacement for a netbook/laptop but without these it just falls short.

Unless you hack it to run a full version of linux, you're pretty much stuck with web apps.
I have 2 questions regarding this matter:
1) Could someone explain why if the current CM10 build I have on my GS3 (10-20121201-NIGHTLY-i9300) apparently has the value for config_unplugTurnsOnScreen set to false (according to the current github file: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base/blob/jellybean/core/res/res/values/config.xml), but still the screen turns on when unplugging from charge?
2) I actually also want this to happen when starting to charge (so that the screen keeps off when put to charge instead of turning on...), yet I didn't find a config_plugTurnsOnScreen configuration... Does anyone know where else (and if) this option could be found and tinkered with?
As a side note, I have modded my gs3 with the touchstone wireless charging trick and I put it on and off the touchstone charging base quite oftenly and would like to prevent it from turning on the screen each time I put it to charge or remove it from charging... maybe there's a general android option that handles wireless charging options so that the screen is not affected on those events? (something like these WebOS options intended for the original use of the touchstone on WebOS: http://www.webosnation.com/keep-screen-while-touchstone)
Thanks!

Time to resurrect a thread!
I also have a similar question, but not pertaining to CM rom, but stock. It should be the same value in both roms, I am assuming. I saw somewhere on this forum that the value may be in a jar file or in the kernel itself (Which I downloaded the source, but am not very confident and modifying a kernel at this point in time).
Hi guys
My wife brought me this phone from E-BAY and I accept that I have something completely different inside the case (namely something lower spec).
So far (in general) its good enough for my needs, but I have no idea of the hardware spec I have OR the software involved (seller in Hong Kong claimed Kit Kat).
Also, when I recently connected to my car charger the screen went dim so I quickly unplugged it and the phone took over an hour to switch back on afterwards. Since then my home screen and desktop screens have gone haywire and the phone keeps putting itself in silent mode. Phone itself still dials, makes and receives calls but sound us absent everywhere else ie video/mp3 playback. The "home" button no longer appears to work either, like the volume buttons.
Is there a PC program that I can try to plug into to help me establish exactly what I've got under the hood, with a view to downloading a compatible ROM ?
CORRECTION.
Label in back of phone states the model as being SM-G900H.
Apologies for my bad navigating but this phone is my only source of internet.
Many of the controls no longer function as they should do and its difficult to navigate the forum (unfamiliarity) with inconsistent controls. Can anybody point me with tips towards recovery please ?
Can't find the original eBay listing now (of course) but all I can offer is maybe some pics of phone and the label inside if it would help. At THIS moment in time my priority is to find out exactly what my hardware is so I can then try and source a suitable ROM to install, can anyone suggest a PC utility that can "investigate" my hardware (and maybe software) so that I can begin to try and correct what is wrong.
