Charger connector play

My DROID X has a little looseness in the micro USB connection next to the HDMI connector. I have always been careful not to put any strain on it. I note that the HDMI connection male plug fits up snug against the DROID providing its own strain relief. But the micro USB make plug does not, and the female receptical is recessed from the edge of the housing by an estimated 15 mils. Does anyone else note a worrying looseness in that charger connection? One cannot see from the outside whether this connector is surface mounted or a thru-hole component. But if the pick and place is off a little or has too wide a tolerance, it could explain this. Any "bat wings" engineers care to comment?

My charger is the same way.  When I'm in my car with the charger plugged in, I randomly get the message telling me the charger has been disconnected, and that I should unplug the charger itself to save the environment or whatever.

  • Ipod 4th generation will not charge or play on any of our docking stations

    Hi my son has an ipod touch and it will not charge or play on any of our docking stations. We had an appointment today at the 'genius' bar and i was told there is not a problem with his device!, I am at a loss as my daughters ipod plays on all our docking stations so why not my sons? Any help or advice would be great as the person at the apple store was not that helpful and i am left feeling very frustrated.

    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Sometimes this works
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    Last, go back to the Genius Bar and bring a dock.

    i have upgrade my iphone 4 to ios 6 and from this moment every day my iphone go to block. it turn off and i can't turn on if i don't connect to charge connectors.. someone have the same problem? how can i solve it?

    I am experience a similar problem, my iphone 4 either turns off by itself or I am unable to answer a call. Everything just blocks. After contacting 2 different apple service spots still no answer as to how can we fix the problem. Worse, I am unable to revert back to ios 5.1.1 where everything worked just fine.

    Fixed it. It is on Chevrolet's end. Press config to access the configuration settings. Turn menu/tune knob to highlight vehicle settings. Press menu/tune to select the vehicle settings menu. Choose return to factory settings.

  • Can you charge and play shuffle (2nd gen) at the same time?!

    we purchased a shuffle to run our 'on hold' music at work, and its a pain in the arse to remember to charge it every night. im so used to my iPod video that lets me charge and play at the same time...
    any suggestions?!

    Hi Jen,
    I have the USB Power Adapter plugged into a power
    outlet and the shuffle plugged into the adapter. I'm
    running a headphone to RCA cable to an audio
    receiver's inputs. This allows me to listen to all my
    songs on the Shuffle without needing to have a
    computer near by. I've been using this set up since I
    bought the Shuffle. I have to mention that the
    Shuffle I own is 1st Gen...
    Again, hope this helps.
    With all due respect, Rick, Jen (the original poster) was asking about how to charge+play a SECOND GENERATION Shuffle...you might note that fact is even included in the Subject field...
    But now that you've mentioned yours is a 1st Gen Shuffle... 1st Gen Shuffles ARE available from the online Apple Store as refurbished for $49. Perhaps she should think about getting one of those?

  • Using power adaptor charger while playing iPod

    I have a charger for my iPod Mini. I think it's called a "USB-based power adaptor." When I got it about a year ago it cost about $20. Uses a cable for the iPod into it and then plugs into a standard outlet.
    I am also able to run my iPod through one of my more high-end stereo systems. A great advantage, particularly for "home recording," to listen and get full stereo sound.
    The question is:
    Can I use the charger adaptor while the iPod is playing? Either through the stereo system or using the iPod just by itself?
    It would seem that should be no problem. Wouldn't it be the same principle as using an iPod "dock?"
    If I can do this, the nice thing would be that I could keep my iPod fully charged while playing. Either through the stereo system or playing just the iPod alone.
    Could any harm be done by doing this?
    Thanks in advance.

    In theory, it shouldn't do any harm. The reason I added the qualifier is that its possible that a non-Apple charger could in some way, not be quite up to spec and could behave oddly. Of course, Apple chargers can go bad, too. iPods will stop accepting a charger once they are fully charged. I have used chargers while my iPod has been connected to speakers with no difficulty and no harm to the iPod.

  • HT1665 Logitech rechargeable speaker S315i no longer works with my iphone 5.  It won't charge or play music.  Is it to do with the speakers or iPhone?

    Hi, my My Logitech rechargeable speaker S315i no longer works with my iphone 5.  It won't charge or play music. When I switched to iPhone 5 I had to buy an adapter - but it still worked perfectly...now it just stopped working???  It still works with my original iPhone (first model!!)
    This must have to do with the iPhone upgrade....has anyone had this problem?
    Landy

    Try this procedure; it has worked for many people.
    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

  • IPod Touch 4g won't charge and play at the same time

    I used to have a 4g Nano that I would play in my car through an aux cable and charge through a cigarette lighter charger. I just got a 4th gen iPod Touch and it no longer lets me charge and play at the same time. If both wires are connected it will only charge and not play, once I pull the charger part out it will play through the speakers. Is there a fix to this? Do I need a different charger so that it won't think it's simply docked?

    You would need to turn off hard drive mode via iTunes iPod settings on your home system to do this. I don't know if you have this mode on or off already. I thought I read that there is a way to enable/disable hard drive mode via the iPod buttons but I don't remember how.
    Thanks,
    Steven

  • Constant, erratic beeping while charging and playing simultaneously

    Hi,
    My 5th gen ipod started beeping through speakers/headphones while charging and playing at the same time. Once it has been unplugged from the ac charger and switched off/on again it is fine. This wasn't really much of a problem - a bit annoying - but as I mostly charged overnight and used during the day it didn't bother me; until now. I bought a dock with remote but as the dock automatically charges the ipod when the inserted it causes it to beep/bleep ALL the time, rendering the remote pretty useless cause i can't listen to music while it's in the dock due to the incessant beeping.
    HELP! - how do I stop the beeping? Is it normal? I want to know if this is something that can't be cured before I go ahead and do something drastic like resetting my ipod completely...

    there appears to be no solution...if yours does it you're stuck with it, as am I. :I

  • Clicking sound when charging and playing

    My ipod makes a really weird clicking sound when it's charging and playing music and videos either though the clicker isn't on.

    I have tried just about everything very methodicly.
    Got Tune Tech for iPod software and cleaned everything, tried the diagnostic mode to see if everything was OK. I was thinking on the lines of some sort of macanical/electronic failure (SDRAM) but everything was all right
    So I plunged in and retrograded to firmware 1.2 and VOILA !
    The instructions found on MacIntouch were very simple and easy to do.
    My faithfull 5G iPod is back to good working order....for now !
    No more freeze when charging.
    I hope Apple will adress this firmware problem in the next update.

  • Charge Connector Port

    Why has Apple changed to a different type of charge connectors on the new MacBook Air?  I have found it very inconvenient because now I cannot use the chargers of my other MacBooks for my new McBook Air. It is a big turn off for me for Apple products.  In fact, I would like to exchange my new MacBook Air for an old one with the old charge connector!

    This has happened to me twice now.... The first time I was under full warrenty and they had to replace the power jack and the mother board (since it shorted once I tried to plug it in not realizing what happened.
    If your computer didn't short, you just need to get the new part and install it (or you might be able to glue it back on?). The part apparently comes in some "Miscellanous" pack of parts that also includes things like stickers. It took them forever to figure out what part they needed to order.
    Hopefully you can get yours up and running again. I'm going to try and convince Lenovo to just send another part out and get someone to install it. Quite honestly, I think it is unacceptable that a $1800 laptop can have a tiny plastic part break and destroy the whole laptop. The thing is made of carbon fiber but can't take normal wear and tear.... the last lenovo I'll ever buy.
