Search ADP-H01. Due to the same proprietary nature of the NC's charging cable that causes it to break so easily in the first place, about $20 is the best you are gonna get from any seller you can trust.
Hi, nook color cables on eBay. Around $7 and free shipping.

I have tried two cheap off brand cables that advertised they were designed for the nook color. They were simply microUSB cables and charged but very slowly. I bought the bullet and get an authentic one from B&N and now it charges so much faster.
Just bought one of these on ebay for $3.63, free shipping. Will give a report on its performance when it arrives.

Sorry to burst your bubble before it comes, but there's one things on the page that is a dead giveaway of it's authenticity:
Compatible With
Amazon: Kindle 2, Kindle 3 / Wi-Fi / 3G + Wi-Fi, Kindle DX
Barnes & Noble: Nook, Nook Color
BlackBerry: etc...

If it's compatible with ALL of these, then it's only a micro usb cable, not the proprietary one shipped with the Nook Color.

It isn't a generic USB cable, as it has a transformer on the micro USB end and says it's a dual USB / charger cable. It probably won't charge as fast as the OEM cable, but it's better than nothing.

That's what I meant by generic. It's not the proprietary cable.

Well most of you already know that NC's USB cable's tip is delicate & today I broke it
I Googled & found that those Non B&N cables take a lot of time compared to original ones. Is it true ? Or Cheap cables also work ?
Some Black Berry phone cables are also similar [USB Hot sync] can I use them ?
Problem is I am from India & importing original cable costs a bomb :-/
they still giving free cable replacement or stopped ? I know they never ship it to India
Cheap cables do not have the necessary extra pins. A cable at B&N is $15. I understand the shipping may be costly but other cables will barely work if at all.
I had great luck repairing mine with super glue. The outer shell had started to crack but did not completely shatter. Super glue bonded the connector shell back together and is holding the plug in place. Your mileage may vary.
B&N definitely need to redesign the connector though.

I'm from the Philippines, and Barnes&Noble had replaced my NC's USB cable free of charge TWICE now. The original USB cable broke after two weeks of using it. I called them through Skype, which didn't cost me anything. All you need to tell them is that your USB cable broke and you want a replacement. All NC's USB cables are covered by a 1 year warranty. Everyone knows how crappy the NCs USB cables are--even b&n admits it. Once you get them on the phone, all they would ask you is to provide the email you used to register your nook, the shipping address you put in your b&n account, and sometimes they ask you about the last four digits of your credit card if you put it in your b&n account as well. Lastly, of course, the serial no. of your NC which you can find in the NC's box or by logging in your b&n account. Your main problem is that b&n doesnt ship warranty items outside continental US. In my case, I had a friend in the US whom I made as the recipient of the USB cable, and had her ship it in the Philippines.

Guys thank you for replying I will try free cable from nook color, will ask my friends....
What is amp rating of Nook cable ? What if I use my iPhone 4's charger with Nokia's mini USB cable ? Will that do ? or any harm ?
I am using the stock charger with Nokia's cable & I think it will take 10-15 hours for a full charge :-/
I also found a black berry mobile's cable whose rating is 0.5A.
Thank you !
Nothing will work, i am also from India. I tried everything, even root level kernel modifications to allow high current charging. In the end had to get a new one, someone here on xda was kind enough to ship it for me though. Seriously xda rocks...!!
What were they thinking when they designed the cable??

Nook's AC adapter pumps out 1.9amps, most USB cables and adapters pump out around 1amp(at least most around my house). I can't say for sure how much the cable is rated for but considering the Nook's adapter pumps out 1.9amps I'd say it's about the same. If you don't have the Nook's AC adapter you'll have to use you're computer's USB port.

The Nook's cable is pretty much proprietary when it comes to charging(notice it isn't your average micro usb plug on the end). Normal micro usb cables work fine for data transfers and trickle charging(ie: takes forever to charge and will actually continue to loose charge if you use the Nook while charging) In the end I'd look into a way to get the official cable. If you aren't in the US you might try looking elsewhere online or ask someone here on XDA if they'd be kind enough to forward the package.

I'm in the market for a new cable to charge my Note but there is so many in the market that i'm quite confused.
I know that the Note uses a micro usb to usb wire. I'm using a 1.8m cable that i
got when i bought a kindle and i am looking to purchase one at the same length
as the kindle wire is peeling near the connection point , and it is quite un sightly...
http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-...id=1344947903&sr=1-4&keywords=micro+usb+cable
This would work right? It is named micro b instead of micro usb though. .

Any reason you can say why it is not ideal to use USB cable to power a phone ?
I have been using USB cable most of the time to charge my phone from laptop. I was under the impression that slow charge is always good for batteries.
Please explain
I believe it would be because he has read the product description. It doesn't state that it shouldn't be used for charging, but just to make sure that your device can take the amperage of the cable. This cable is specified for use with Continually connecting devices (eg printers, HDD etc), and not for charging. The Link below can be purchased in a 2m Length (slightly longer).

Thanks all.
Found out that amazon doesn't ship to singapore. Have decided to purchase from gmarket although refunds are harder.
The seller is here: http://list.qoo10.sg/item/FREE-GIFTS-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S3-CASES/405902986
And to those saying that other wires apard from the one given by samsung.
I have been using the kindle one since i bought my note. And it is still going
strong. Apart from the ics brick bug that got repaired by warranty.
Also by the time it really starts to show that your battery is spoilt. Your plan
with whatever telco should have expired and you are entitled to a cheaper phone
with renewal. Live free guys
Hey guys, about a month or so ago I was at work charging my phone and my coworker tripped on my charging wire and destroyed the usb part that connects to the actual charger. So it's now just connecting the metal frame to the charger which still works but I would like to get a new cable. I want to get the exact one I had since it matches the white charger and it's the longest stock cable I've received. Any ideas where to get the stock cable? thanks.

no offence, i posted in the note 2 forum i was thinking the kind of phone would be obvious along with my signature. I see on samsung's website only the black option.
My apologies, I didnt see the title. Samsung adveritises so many accessories they dont even show thier USB. I dont see them on thier site but they are on ebay for around $5 US. #ECC1DU4BBE is the oem part #, you should be able to find them by seaching with that. Happy hunting

Is there a way I can know for sure if cable is real or fake? I've already got some cables from eBay, but they can charge max at 200mA which is useless.
I usually buy my microusb cables from monoprice and so far they've performed just as well as any OEM cable.
They also have them in white. Just search for white microusb and boom. With 2 cars and 6 devices that use microusb cables, it's just easier to buy in bulk in all different lengths.
Yeah I saw monoprice and it seems awesome, but they don't ship into my country. And even if they would, shipping prices for nearby countries are ridiculous (around 30$ of shipping for 1$ cable).
So does anyone know any good eBay seller or other shop with international shipping that sells reliable 2A cables?

Wow even my dollar store USB gets 800mAh through it. Not sure how to verify genuine Samsung cables, other than the general esthetics like the signature shape of the micro usb tip and the printing on the cable itself wich should say something like (E324705 RI AWM 21104 22AWGX2C 80°C 36V). But yes in your case unless heavily damaged, Im guessing its not oem lol.

Hi all,
I purchased a used Nook HD+, and have already began reading threads here about how to root it, etc. I have rooted my last two HTC phones with help from XDA, so look forward to being part of this Nook community as well.
My Nook is still in transit right now, but I already know it is missing the charger and cable, so I'm trying to determine whether I need to purchase replacements, or whether I could use standard micro-USB cables and phone chargers. I see an HDMI port listed as being on the Nook, but does it have micro-USB as well? Like I said, mine is still in transit, so I can't look myself. Any idea if a standard Android phone charger would suffice? If I need a dedicated/proprietary charger and cable, I wanted to go ahead and order them even though my Nook hasn't arrived yet.
I appreciate any help. TIA
It does not have a standard microUSB port. It uses a proprietary connector and charger. Look in the accessories forum to see sources.

Thanks. I had forgotten there was a B&N store nearby, so I actually went in today at lunch and was able to check one out in person. The plug is reminiscent of an iPod/iPhone. I usually shop on eBay for cables and chargers, so will probably go that route.

Yesterday, my Micro USB broke. I could tell after I had my phone plugged in for an hour and it only charged 15% and when i plugged it in again the cable was loose and the slow charging message popped up.
What are the best USB cables that are cheap? Amazon/eBay
What are you using?
Thanks

I was looking for a small one with free shipping. I'm currently using an old Moto one and where it plugs in its way bigger than the HTC. I'd get another HTC one but they aren't real on Amazon and have bad reviews
i belive the Amazon Basics works pretty good, i used several Amazon Basics cables with no problems at all.

I'm worried about the size of the end of the cable. The HTC ones are way smaller, here's a photo next to an old Motorola one.
