I'm also interested in knowing that. The cheapest I found was for around $29

Can you tell me if some one have tried the sansa cable?
Look on google picture for the model

samsung and some other 3rd party providers offer the data sync cable for 19.00 usd...that's the cheapest i've found..and none of the olympia, wa carriers have any accessories except the hard leather case, the silicone case and the screen protector.
I bought a 2port usb car adapter that works well and now going to buy from samsung the cord.
I know once people get the proper pinout's ...sites like fommy or cellphoneshop will have them for like 4.99 or cheaper...
i love my tab..but for christ sake...where are all the friggen accessories?...*sigh*

You'll definitely need a real cable, and a charger capable of 2Amp output, or it probably won't charge properly.

I'm using a 1 amp charger from my Garminfone and it works fine (60% to full charge in 1.5hrs)
I also tried a 2 amp Iluv usb charger but it went into usb mode (pc connection mode) and did not seem to charge??
Cable and accessories are expensive!! I bought a data/charge cable from Aliexpress for $6.50. Should have it in about a week. Will let you know if it works. Paid with Paypal so I'm protected.

When i connect my tab to a usb-hub with 3,8amp it does not charge at all, it even continues to discharge. the hub is a 7port belkin with a 3,8amp power supply.

That's because when you plug it into a computer, it negotiates for power with the usb controller. You can see how much power it is getting by looking in the device manager under the usb hub. Most devices can only get 500 mA from a computer usb port.

Its not a computer, its a external belkin 7-port usb-hub with a 3,8amp power-supply.
No computer is connected.

A hub shouldn't really supply power at all without a computer connected to it, it probably defaults to whatever the lowest power setting is. Just because a hub uses a 3.2A power cable doesn't mean every single usb port will have that, it's sharing that power with all of them.

No its not the hub, its the samsung charger thats wired differently.
I just modified a usb-extension cable and now the tab charges from my hub and my laptop.
The changes you need to make to the cable have already been described here.

Also, you dont need 2A.
The samsung charger is charging with 1,5A only because it has 5,4V.
With 5V you will have only 1amp, so no need to buy a 2A charger/battery.
And yes it just jumped up 1% charging from my laptops's usb port while the tab was running.

Just to confirm, the DX cable both charges and syncs properly? I only ask as I had some bad experiences with ipod cables/docks from DX so I wanted to be sure before ordering.

If you need any other items why not go to the t-mobile store? Two items gets you 20% off,three items gets you 30%. They have lanyards for 5 bucks. Get with a friend and split the sale getting you the discounts.

Hehehe...obviously with this cable alone you won't be able to charge at the same time connect to the tv.
You will have to use either an extender for the audio video cables or a USB extender.

The original question,the way I understood is "how to charge to tab at the same time connect to tv and watch movie or make presentation". I was assuming that there is no electrical outlet nearby to plug the charger and connect the usb cable.
As to how long or how short, the specs are all there in the dealextreme website.
I have no intention to defend this cable, My intention in posting this is to inform anybody interested that this is available for a cheap price and I am using it with no problems. If you are not interested to buy an 8 USD cable then you should instead buy the original Samsung AV cable here

As I have stated this cable is an imitation/duplicate so I obviously cannot answer for the manufacturer/designer of this cable. Notice that the Samsung cable does not have USB. Maybe this is an after thought? Also notice that the cable are a bit small size and may not last long.....
As to complaints about this cable not working,maybe you can send your cable back to dealextreme as they do have return policy. I cannot vouch for the return service as I have not tried and have not experienced any defect on the items I got from dealextreme.
As I said-"you get what you pay for"......peace to all!

yes....we always get what we paid

anyone know where i can find a longer charging cable

I'm looking for a longer charging cable for my DROID 3, the one that come with the phone is too short. I have read that using cheap cables or cables that didn't come with the phone may cause problems.

Mediabridge makes a 6 foot micro usb cable that works great for charging and to a PC. It's on amazon for 6 bucks.

I just use a usb extension cable, seems to work fine

I always buy cables from Monoprice. I've been using a 10ft micro usb cable from them since I first got my OG Droid with no problems.

same here, thats one of the great things about a phone with a USB charger. you can just put an extender in the main charger and connect the OEM charging cord to its female connector. Sometimes i do wish i had one longer cord though because the cables come disconnected pretty easily if you tug on the phone.

Agreed i use a 16 foot BELKIN extension cable lol(use it for other things besides phone).

Cheap chargers may cause issues, but pretty much any USB cable should be fine. A really cheap long cable could have data transfer issues due to not having enough shielding, but for simply charging it would still work.

Replacement Data Cable

I notice that the USB cable for the Spice-Mi410/Ideos X6 is not the regular mini-USB connector. I am thinking of getting a replacement data cable (to keep in my office in case I need to charge the phone). Where can I find one or what are the replacement options I have?

are you sure your usb socket of your phone is not faulty? make sure your clear that up too because triumph phones have had this problem....

Any MicroUSB cable is compatible with this Phone, I'm using Nokia N8's Data Cable because mine I forgot at my Bro's house (1000Kms Away) so can't go again only for the cable and as this is already working so I didn't tell him to send through Post (Courier)

No no not saying they wont work....its the performance aspects of cables.
kindle cable contained in link is 5-6ft long , allows usb sync , built for 2amp current flow and user reviews are solid which = Good quality.
A little explanation on why I'm buying new cable,
My stock is defective micro connection wasn't sure easily falling out of device.
I took it to ATT service center showed them what was up and they ordered replacement cables that sucked.
1st Rcable was too short -Samsung was only 3ft long.
2nd Rcable didn't sync to pc - Off the wall brand 6 ft long.
From that point I broke out utility knife modified stock cable cutting some plastic off sleeve on micro end.
Connections now sure but cable looks beat up so replacement was needed.

Well I received my Amazon Kindle replacement cable today
Kindle Cable is of good quality , connections are firm much better then stock oem that came with device.
I highly recommend it.

Yes, from my previous post:
I've struggled with a variety of the longer, non-OEM micro USB cables - the Amazon Basics, cables from Monoprice, etc. I had problems with all of them, either not providing enough current, or just flaking out within a short time. At one point I thought my phone (EVO 4G) had a problem with the micro USB jack (it didn't). Then one day I found a great cable on Amazon:
Search Amazon "Mediabridge - USB 2.0 A-Male to Micro-B Cable (6 Feet)"
I've been using this cable for several years now, and it has proven to be very durable (I've run over it with my office chair a number of times), and has always provided the full current of the charger I am using with no issues at all. I purchased another one recently to use in another location, and the quality is the same. I've been using these cables with all of my phones, and currently with the Note II.

I'm using this one from Monoprice, with the standard OEM Samsung wall / desk charger that came with the Note II:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5458&seq=1&format=2
It's six feet long, and is a pretty thick cable. I used it today for the first time to charge my new Note II. Coupled with the standard Samsung charger, it charged my Note II from 12 % to 100% in two hours, thirty one minutes -- and that included charging during two incoming phone calls that each lasted about 10 minutes.

If my calculations are correct that's putting about 1120 Ma per hour into your phone.
I wonder if it would charge that fast on usb and have data too?
I also wonder how that compares to the stock USB cable that came with our charger.

Good questions. I was wondering the same things, particularly as the Monoprice cable is double the length of the stock one. At some point, I'll try both charging from my laptop with the Monoprice cable, and switching out and using the stock USB cable, for comparison purposes. My problem (well, not REALLY a problem at all!) is that my battery seems to be lasting around 27 hours, so it may be a while before I can get around to doing this!

My stock usb cable that came with my Samsung charger shows charging on USB, even though it's plugged into the wall.
Conversely, put my note on my 2 amp car charger and the note says charging on AC.
Something is not right with the stock setup. Sure it charges but it should read charging on AC if it's on AC.

Just did a test. Found a usb cable from another device and plugged that into the Samsung stock charger. Now it reads "charging on AC."
I used that same cable and USB on my desktop. My note said charging on USB.
I think the cable was the bottle neck on the charger and the usb port on the desktop is not putting out enough power to make the Note believe its on AC.
USB is USB as far as our desktop/ Note goes, but if you are using AC, then the cable becomes more important if you want the fastest charge. What's apparent is we didn't get a real charging cable with our Note II. .

So far, I haven't had any problems with my stock Samsung USB cable. You can always try the Monoprice cable I mentioned in a prior post. Also, I've read on these boards that it sometimes helps to try different USB ports on your computer, and that it can actually make a difference in charging.

Interesting topic I have been wondering about myself. The cable I got with my Note 2 is not good. The connector, when attached, is easy to move aside, does not hold in place and the sad thing is, it is original manufacturer cable.
I used several different cables and found out that the problem is the height (length) of the micro USB connector, which protrudes from the connector's plastic cover. The other thing I found is that standard Samsung cable, delivered with the phone is few fractions of millimeter shorter than any other cable I compared it to, and suffers from it.
Amazon basics cable I ordered recently might have the connector metal only barely longer, but holds much better (in fact it fits tightly and feels very well fixed in the socket). Contrary to some, I have not observed any problem when charging the phone with this cable and original charger. Maybe the newer cables are already adapted to the chargers as well.
The fact that the norm is not always the norm is also proved by original Samsung MHL adapter (with HDMI out). This has "micro USB" connector (here it is 11 pin though) which is roughly 1-2 mm longer than the one on supplied charger cable. This one gets "all way down" into the hole and still does not even touch the case with its plastic part (there might be ~ 1mm space between the plastic of connector and Note 2 case).
Now, when I look at potential micro USB cable for Note 2 I always check the length of micro USB metal part. It must be longer than original cable from Samsung, otherwise it will have flimsy connection.

Length
I try and use a shorter cable as the longer they get the more power you loose. I use a 6" inch usb A to B Micro. I love this cable because my phone can sit right next to my computer and its getting the max power.
