Any ideas on where to buy a spare USB cable or charger for cheap?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
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.
I have read countless threads and looked at many chargers and I just can't seem to find a 2a car and a 2a home charger. I just ordered this charger and this cable and it just doesn't work above 700ma. When I use the stock cable I get to 1300mah for a sec and then about 900 steady. This is on both ports. Someone please help me before I lose it! The only one that works at 1500mah is the cable and charger that came with my phone.

Thanks in advance.
Well, I can say from repeated certainty that this 6' cable charges at the same rate as the stock cable but is actually nice.

Also, my Qmadix car charger with dual 2.1A ports does very near stock AC levels when charging 1 device. My results are in the mega 2A car charger thread, but that's a spendy charger.

I saw a cable at Best Buy which is pretty nice, it has El Wire that flashes quickly(battery at 0-65%), slow (battery at 66-99%) and turns off when the battery is full. Would that cable be okay to use to charge my phone?

go on the google play store and buy the nexus 7 2A charger. im using that one for my note 2 and its working flawlessly.
I have a cheap gas station 2 port usb car charger rated at 2amp for one port and 1amp for the other. Works great and I think it cost maybe 10 bucks. My phone charges at well over 1300mah in the car using a cheap usb cable I got at walgreens or some ****

I just went to Walgreens also. They have 2 usb port car chargers that charge one port at 2.1amp and the other at 1amp. It was only 10$. They also have a 2.1 amp wall charger as well.

I'm also looking for 2A replacement... How's the charging time compare to the stock Note 2 charger?
how do you measure the output while the device is charging? Is there an app to test how much juice is coming in real time?
I use a 2A HP Touchpad charger in my living room and a T-Mobile branded 3A dual USB charger in my bedroom (see links below). The T-Mobile charger charges my Note2 from 9% to 100% in less than 2 hours when I only use 1 of the USB ports. I'm not sure what the rate is when both ports are used. I've had this for a couple years and use it to charge (individually and simultaneously) my phones and tablets without any problem.

2 Amps. Extra USB port. Fixed wire (so you don't lose it). Bought it in October and it works awesome.
$12.89. It's the best option out there, IMO (aside from the stock one).

I have that one, super slim profile so it looks like its part of your car instead of something plugged into your cigarette lighter. Works like a charm.
Hi,
Can anyone recommend a decent USB cable for my sons N7?
Need to get a replacement, but the ones i currently have are not beefy enough to charge properly.

Same problem, can only find pathetic skinny fragile things.
I have used this cable without any probs
AKASA part no AK-CBUB05-10BK
bought from CPC order code CS20881
Try a flat ribbon cable, Amazon Uk have them http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb...onics&rh=i:electronics,k:flat micro usb cable Various lengths and colours. I use a standard 1.2mtr blue one that I bought last year.
I'm using Logitech cable for charging (got it with the mouse) and Nokia cable for PC (they are always connected, that's why separate cables), so get one of those.
I've only had problems with 3 years old Samsung cable because it kept falling out (it stays in on my SE phone)
I really doubt beefyness of the cable affects charging though. I charged my tabled on just about any cable I've found laying around in the house with no problems
The reason as to why your charge cannot keep up is most likely due to using a charger with lower amperage (i.e 1amp/1A).
As long as you purchase a 2amp charger and compatible usb cable, then you shouldn't have any more issues with draining the battery faster than it can be charged thanks to the 2amp charge rate.

Thanks for the reply guys, this is using the Asus charger that came with the device, just that the original cable split, so I need a replacement.
Have looked at the cables, might get one of the flat ones as they look good.
Cheers,
Paul.
Just to let you know I bought the flat ones and they fit and work really well.
Thanks for the replys all.

Trick is to get a short a cable as you can. The impedance really effects charging. The difference between my stock and a 6' cable is like a 60% drop.

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with the charging cables and my note, so I'd like to hear if someone has an answer to this thing.
In short, I have the official Samsung charger and a Note that's fully operational, no dirty contacts on the charger, no broken pins or anything.
When I use the short Samsung USB cable with the charger, my phone charges normally. Yesterday I bought a longer USB cable(1.8meters long) and the phone just discharges during charge if I use it.
What's the huge difference between these two cables that makes the one I bought not work with my phone? Does anyone know of a certain brand of cables that 100% works with Note that I can order from eBay? I really need a long charging cable, and this Samsung one just doesn't cut it.
Thanks for the replies!

Try using a 2A charger..
My original usb cable has lost its performance to charge my galaxy note.
Its current just 400mA (galaxy note normally need around 1800) . So it'll takes more time to charge.
As my experience with samsung device.
Samsung usb cable is easly lost its performance to charge.
I've tried :
blackberry gemini usb cable (400mA)
Galaxy tab usb cable (1100-1600mA)
So I'm planing to replace my usb cable with sony xperia z usb cable. (I don't know the current yet)
Anyone ever tried this usb cable?
Or do you have alternative suggestion?

Is this a serious question?
Of course, i am.
Is there something wrong?
I was getting about 500ma with my original usb cable. It was chaging very slow (about 6-8 hours to 5-100%). Used to be 2 hours to full charge when i got the smartphone.
I had a spare original motorola usb cable in my house and tested it.
It immediately give me 1800ma.
Too bad motorolla dealer is not avaiable on my city.
But thanks for your suggestion.
Yea the stock cable sucks to the max. I am using Galaxy S3 mini thick USB cable with 5 pin. The original one only have 4 pin, it's slow and produce high pitch noise while charging.
I'm using the newer monoprice 1 and it's awesome the older models would come loose after a few uses and this one I've used it over three months and no problems whatsoever and charges at 1800 ma

Not strange if you read the reviews. They are not getting what they ordered. It's not coming from Amazon Prime. I have 4 of the one I posted and they are excellent cords, and I have tried many. Heavy duty construction with a snug fit. Data transfer works flawlessly and charges super fast. For 5.99, you can't beat it.
Just tried to order a couple from Amazon.com and it's another no Can do.
Here's a picture of an extra one I bought.

I use the Monoprice premium USB cable. They're cheap Chinese made, but they work well and fairly durable. Just buys a couple of them and you'll be set. The best part, they're cheap enough that when they do break, which none of mine have yet, you'll most likely not care and you'll already have a back up, assuming you bought more than one.
Personally, I keep charges and USB cables all over the place--car, backpack, work, home.
I just switched to a Nokia brand one. Came with the e52. Full 5-pin, never seen it below 1800 while testing.
Here it is on Amazon
I had a cable from Mediabridge (not the one in the link, an older model), it was nice and snug, than became loose, than melted (seriously)...
If you want to charge to 1800 mA, you need a cable that is short or thick. Most cables I tried that weren't $1 on eBay were OK.
