Any suggestions on this? It seems my nexus is very picky about only using the stock cord. I couldn't even get it to charge with my galaxy S2 cord. Charge icon was on but didn't charge.
Thoughts?

I use a USB 3.0 Cable extender that I got for like $3 off eBay. Charge time is the same and the cord is 6ft longer
Search and you will find a great thread on cables and chargers and what works and doesn't and why.
I picked up a couple of these when they were on discount ($9.95 at the time). LONG 6ft cables and they work great for not only the Nexus 7 but other devices as well (Raspberry Pi)...

Even at the current price of $16.31 I would not hesitate to buy one.
Thanks guys, I will try that. I hate this little cord.

I used $random cable in the house, works fine. Just make sure you use the OEM charger, unless the cable is super crap it should just work.
Im using my old charger from my blackberry curve 8300 with a mini usb to micro usb adapter on it because it was the longest charger I have. It worked to charge my original evo 4g, it charges my evo lte, and it charges my nexus 7 as well.
Here: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5458&seq=1&format=2
I paid $3.94 total. Should have been smart and ordered two (other half wants one) but I wanted to be sure it works. It's great and plenty long enough.

I've got a couple of 2mtr cables with right angle micro usb plugs, cheap as chips off eBay and they work fine.

Hi, I I recently bought this adapter online so i don't have to carry two separate cables when I travel (one for tab, and other for phone).

This product works well as it allows you to charge your tab with a micro sd cable and standard tab wall charger or any charger with usb dongle. If you have any questions let me know, I but I highly recommend this to all tab users who also have phones that charge through micro usb.

What I want to try next is to plug my s2 otg cable into the adapter and get host mode.
If anyone can link me to the kernel that works with overcome let me know.

I have (2) different micro usb host cables for galaxy s 2 and I was thinking of trying to consolidate and use them here too but I don't know how to compile a kernel with host capabilities.
If someone where to be able to make one for me that will work with overcome I can test this.

Got mine yesterday. Works Recomended!
I was gonna buy 1 but the description says "Computer + micro usb data cable can not charge. Please use the original wall adapter to charge with this cable!"
is it true that when you plug it in to a computer it will only do data but won't charge the battery?

If you want to use a computer or an usb wall charger you can buy a USB DC dongle and it will charge.
Ill link you to the one I have.

Interesting! What magic is making this happen? I thought usb was limited to 500ma draw before the computer starts complaining. Is this safe? I mean, it works, thats great but i'd love to know why/how?
No idea... but it charges for me. Slower than from the original USB wall charger but it will charge.

Nice! This is exactly what I was looking for, as I've repurposed my P1000 as a head unit and need to charge it in the car while it's in use, and didn't have any success hacking together a cable with resistors to do the trick.
what about file sync? i mean can it work like regular usb cable to connect tab2 to PC, for file managment and stuff?
it should be possible, since it's regular usb2.0 on the other side of the cable and micro-usb is just the same wiring but smaller...
so i noticed it doesn't charge from a PC's usb, and it will do if i use magical adapter mentioned in replies here, right?
The Question is = will it allow file management and charging at the same time if i use micro-usb and usb-charge adapter?
also found this: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/592818965/for_Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_USB_Adapter.html
it only states that it charges over micro-usb, not sure if it can transfer data.
and this: http://www.sunsky-online.com/view/232254.htm
this states that it's for P1000 (dunno, do they have same connector?) and it doesn't clarify if it's for charging only or can transfer data
I am looking for a replacement USB cable similar to the one it came with that has the right specs for the device. I see the one in the Play Store but for that price is a little much. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Any standard microUSB cable and a 10W wall charger will work. Some examples are the B&N nook color charger, kindle fire charger, etc. Amazon has a good selection of 10W+ chargers as well.
Logitech usb cords work good.
Well my cable crapped out on me and I can't seem to find another one. I looked on amazon but only found knockoffs which usually die quickly as well

Why not send it back to sammy for replacement? I swear some of you guys go round robins barn looking for replacement this or that when all you gotta do is send it back to sammy. Even if you bought it second hand, I'm sure they will replace the cable. I've taken my phones into other carriers and had them replace trivial stuff... Like dead cables.

I just buy a bunch of cables from monoprice. They're cheap and I haven't seen any difference compared to the original samsung cable. Since all the phones in the house are android phones, it's easy to just buy micro usb cables in bulk.
Why buy anything if you don't have to? I could have that cable and wall charger replaced with a 5 minute phone call. That's my philosophy anyhow.

I called verizon they won't replace with anything but a 1amp charger and want my.OEM one back which was a no go. And I never knew you could call Samsung. Also as far as going to the carrier last time this happened to me they replaced it with a 1 foot generic cable that didn't even work my store sucks. Will be calling Sammy today though thanks everyone

For what it was worth I just ordered mono price premium cables since that was all o needed anyway. Samsung wanted my whole charger and its a two week turnaround I don't have a spare charger to use.

any cheapo USB-microUSB will work to charge the phone. I use the one that came it it a lot, but I have extra cheapo in the car, in a bag I take to work, another in my backpack for school, a few more around the house.
For charging, they're fine. To transfer data, just fine too. Where I notice a difference between cheapo and the one that came with the phone is when I WiFi Tethering and using the MHL adapter while streaming a movie or sporting event. Neither can keep the phone charged, but the cheapos, the GN2 drains the battery faster. 20% per hour vesus 10%.
Thus, if you have a cable from other phones you don't use anymore, just use it. Although, I like the calling Samsung idea.
I bought this one and has worked like a charm

I have authentic / genuine OEM charging cables from Samsung. PM me if interested.
In the car I have to use the usb port on my FM Transmitter which is like 70ma! So it's a trickle charger. I tried the ones with my car socket adapter nope as they are 500ma.... I also have a 2.1A adapter but yeah that of course won't work.
So do I need to fish out a 100ma for it to charge properly in the car? I think I have some usb car adapters somewhere from other gadgets I can try....
Picky phone.... Any tweaks to make it accept more juice?
Just curious....
I have no problem using my car charger, or USB port on my stereo, I have even used a 9v battery to charge my phone. Maybe you have a bad port

Could it be the USB cable? I noticed with the duel port backup battery I have 2.1/1A it will only charge on the 1A port. I was hoping for quicker charging on the 2.1A port.

Yeah it's annoying.
I too am having big issues with using car chargers. I guess I never tried before. I tried with several chargers in several cars. No luck at all getting my T-mobile Samsung Exhibit 4G to charge. I want to start using it for navigation.
What is the duracell charger mentioned above. I saw a duracell charger at the drugstore but it was just a lighter plug adapter and looked just like any other. Do duracell cigarette lighter plug adapters work with the T-mobile Samsung Exhibit 4G better than other adapters?
Is this a known issue about T-mobile Samsung Exhibit 4phones not working with car adapters? I will search for other threads on the issue but haven’t seen it except for here.
I am running peach sunrise if that matters.
Thanks
Drew
The Duracell one gives the proper power out for this phone, as well as the Nexus 4, so I would imagine it works on all Android phones, making it a good investment. Some come will Android and iPhone plugs, too!

Highly recommend the Samsung Spare Battery Charging System. Comes with a space battery, a charging station, AND a cord that can connect into your phone to charge directly from the outlet.

Just make sure it's a 2A charger (vs the more common 1A for most smartphones.) And yeah, the HP TouchPad charger works great Really want to get the OEM spare battery charger too...
