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.
Got this from the German Amazon site. 5 days shipping to UK.

Works with a 2 amp charger I have, no not charging symbol.
Will test later with laptop and Mac usb

Wait, so finding a 2 amp 3rd party charger isn't enough?
No, there is some circuitry in a branded Samsung Tab charger that tells the tab to pull down the full charge. A third party charger will work but very slowly and the tab shows a not charging symbol in the menu bar. This little adaptor in my first post fools the tab into thinking it is connected to an official charger.

Don't know. The package came in a jiffy bag with just the invoice and no other packaging so it's hard to do any detective work by manufacturer or product code.

I ordered a couple from the Amazon DE website a lot cheaper than Amazon UK, if you order more than one, even though you have to pay post and packing.
Nice find i just hope they work.
I don't read German so it was fun placing the order

Wish I'd bought two at the time. Now I have to pay another lot of postage.
It's charging now from my laptop USB. 5% in 10 mins so much faster than normal.
I have a couple of these data/charge cable on order, they seem to get a good review, they are cheap at only £1.60 each.
They take about 10-15 days to deliver, so dont buy if your in a hurry.

I bought a couple of 3rd party cables too. They seem identical to the original, minus the Samsung logo. You'll still need an adaptor like in my first post of you want to charge fast from usb or 3rd party chargers.

I guess the stuff you used is essentially what's inside these adaptors.

I dont want to go modding chargers, some are not easy to get into, also some device might not like the mod, it`s easier just plug in an usb adaptor , also+ , I am definitely not going to mod the ports on my notebook , when the usb adaptor work on your notebook too.

dunno with tabs, but i had an experience with blackberry which oftenly charge with 3rd party charger (for car) which caused ic charging damage. I had mili charger but haven't use it with tabs just because the original travel charger is so simple to carried out with
I received my usb/usb adaptor`s and they seem to work great with all my usb chargers and even with my notebook, though the data connection does not work.
There is no circuitry guys. Its a standard for USB charging where the data lines are shorted. I use my 1A HTC desire charger regularly and it works just fine. Just need to get a good charger.
What I'd like to see is something to let me charge and sync at the same time because often at work battery dies while I'm debugging.

Not Correct, I have been soldering the data lines together on my usb chargers for years to get my Sony mp3 to charge and non of these chargers will give me full charge mode, just trickle, now the usb/usb adaptor works great.

Have to agree here! I've several HTC USB chargers, and not one of them will do more than trickle charge my Tab unless I use one of these adaptors.

I'm sorry I don't keep it. But there are so many sellers there and check their reputation before you choose one
sent from my Note2
I think that the Note 2 requires an 11 pin adapter and it runs about 35 bucks. I bought a 5 pin mhl adapter on amazon for 12 dollars then bought the 5 pin to 11 pin adapter from Newegg for 9 bucks. So I spent 21 bucks for a working mhl.

So I have messed around with this for about an hour playing games and just playing on the phone. It works fine and is nice and snug. I even have it hooked up to a 20 foot HDMI cable via a female to female HDMI adapter.

The camera app works with mine, mirrored it on the TV. I didn't think it would since it don't remember it working with my note 1.
eh really? Wow, i have been holding my self back from buying since i don't think it'll work. Thanks. What rom are you using? and are you using the official MHL adapter (from Samsung)?
I have official MHL with stock unrooted. Seems to work fine, but it doesn't seem to want to do 1080p, so it does 1080i. I hear 1080p works, but it is choppy.

Galaxy Note 2 definitely requires an 11-pin MHL adapter, or an 11-pin adapter for a regular 5-pin MHL adapter.
I just stumbled upon this and am considering picking up one myself. Not sure on the number of pins

Anyone have any luck with HDMI adapters to hook up to tv's for the S4? Which ones? I'd rather not get the official adapter if possible but I bought a cheap $11 one from newegg thinking I'd save $30 or so and it didn't work out too well.
So I'm curious to hear what works for others and where you got them.
I'd like to start a list of sorts in this thread to maybe help others out when looking for an adapter.
Info on type, price and where it can be purchased would be great.
Thanks
You may need this http://goo.gl/tOcYq to make the non samsung mhl adapters work. Samsung uses a 11 pin micro usb plug instead of the standard 5 pin.

It can be used plugged with or without being plugged into power source (MHL2.0 spec perhaps?).
I think it was Samsung's site that some of the reviews were less than favorable for the adapter.
I used my Galaxy S2 hdmi/mhl adapter and added a 5 to 11 pin adapter for $3 from monoprice (the same website as in post #2).

I think that I read somewhere that the reason there is no plug supplied with the charger is that "most people have lots of chargers already". But also I guess it is a way for us to hand over even more money.
I have not tested this fully but I bought a new, third party, charging cradle for my Gear S2 watch and I would guess that stand should be able to charge the watch 3 also as it is a bit bigger than the original Gear S2 cradle.
Tho I have not really looked into the specs either the S2 cradle or the Watch 3 charge pad.
