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.

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.

May want to edit OP to reflect MicroUSB, not MicroSD - Might be helpful.

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
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)...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004OZMWUS
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.
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

I had issues too with finding appropriate changers. I ended up buying one of those Duracell car chargers and it works.

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!

I purchased one of these cables at Fry's (Frys # 7673737) and when I use it with the usb plug block which came with the Note II it charges faster than the original Samsung cable. I also get higher numbers on the Galaxy Charging Current *Lite* app. It was originally $14.99, but on sale now for $4.95.
Hey there rvb1. How much higher were your numbers when using the galaxy current charging app? I am curious because I was in the market for a new cable and live within distance of Fry's. Wish I had known sooner, I already pulled the trigger, purchased, and now waiting for d.i.y. usb and micro usb connectors to fashion my own heavy gauge, high current cables. A few of them I will make for charging only (data ports bridged within plug) because I have another charger or two (non-samsung) that will not charge at high rate unless the data ports are bridged. Until now, I have been using a usb adapter that I made to do so. Anyway, good find and at a good price.....
With Cygnet I get maximum 1800. With the original Samsung cord I get 1300.

Anyone that understands the whole wiring and power in cables; why is that if the charger is 2.1 amps, why does it not fully hit that or am I mis understanding the concept. I know different USB cables will vary.

It may have something to do with the overall supply of power to the outlets. As in the wiring through the house. I think that's the only other legitimate option as to why we can't get the whole 2.1. Or maybe even the hp concept for cars. Maybe have 300 hp rating but after output and everything you're at 275. Just my 2 cents

Reason for the whole horsepower deal in cars it's simply the fact that at the crank or the flywheel it will make all that power it just loses the power going through the hole the whole engine to the actual wheels I can go further in detail into that but its not necessary

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...
