Pro vs. CD player (pro lost)

Ok so ive had my PRO for about 48 hours now and Ive already broke it.
My touch screen is toasted. I plugged my phone into my girlfriends cd player in her car to see if it would pick up as a mass storage device and play music off the memory card. Yea so that was a bad idea. After about 30 seconds I noticed that the phone was showing a charge. My first thought was "thats wierd" then I started to smell something burning. I quickly unplugged the phone. All seemed well until about 12 hours later when the touch screen went totally unresponsive. Thinking it was my rom I promptly hard reset and reflashed. all went well until i realized I couldnt recalibrate my screen. (cussing)

Well at least i can still make and recieve calls using the keyboard keys. SO the point to take home here is this: Disable charging while connected to PC if you want to play in your cars CD player.

Re: Pro vs. CD player (pro lost)

Wow, what kind of USB does that car CD player have to put out that much more power than a normal USB??? I'd be afraid to plug any kind of mem card in there too ... thats definately NOT normal

Re: Pro vs. CD player (pro lost)

Do people seriously use those USB ports on their CD players? Huh, who knew...and here I was thinking I was crazy for streaming over bluetooth.

Re: Pro vs. CD player (pro lost)

I think the main problem was that the cd player didnt regulate the power because it wasnt designed to charge devices. I think it pushed all 12 volts through the cd player to my phone.

It works fine with a memory card or regular jump drive.

Re: Pro vs. CD player (pro lost)

If it wasn't designed to charge devices, then why did they use a data/power port instead of just a data port? It's got to be something wrong with the CD player. If it is designed to push power as well, it's pushing way too much.

Re: Pro vs. CD player (pro lost)

Definitely an issue with your cd player, I use my phone in that way all the time since my phone has all my newest music and it charges while doing it
