I picked up a couple aftermarket usb cables of Ebay for my tab so I could connect it at the office and use them in the charger for travel. I realized today I cant connect to my PC when I use the aftermarket cables. Just a heads up
You have to get the cable that matches your tab model. The pin outs are not the same between models.
Where??? I always got my accessories for my phones on Ebay without issue.
I believe what the OP is saying is make sure get charge and sync cable. I'm guessing the one he bought was only capable of charging. Fewer pins to connect = cheaper costs.
The pins are different for different models. When I bought a second cable off ebay, I couldn't get the cheapest, because it wouldn't work for my model. I had to buy the at&t model.
I bought a couple of these usb sync/charge cable recently from the eBay and gad no problems with them. They came with proper boxes wraped up.
If yoy need the link, let me know and i will send it to you.
Thanks.

Galax Tab Sprint Cable
I have the oem cable and this aftermarket cable from ebay.
I've been using the cable from ebay since I got it.
The cable works fine and is longer.
Again I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab

Just (arrived yesterday) got an after marked cable from ebay, just tried to use it and my Tab appears to shut down (black screen, no response from buttons etc).
Luckily I have my original cable with me but now that's doing the same (into a PC and mains).
Is this a massive coincidence of have I just goosed my beloved Galaxy Tab?
I bought a number of cheap retractable cables from ebay and they all work well for sync and charge.

I really hate that the OEM cables are so dang short. I'd love to find a couple of longer ones.
Sent from Galaxy Tab with XDA app
I use my OEM cable tho it is short, I use my USB cable extension from my logitech wireless mouse, It works just fine.
Of course when syncing I plug it direct to PC
I bought two different from DealExtreme a couple of months ago.
Both are working fine on my Dutch operator-free stock rom Tab.
The cables are a bit thinner then the original but for me works fine both charging and pc connection.
Shipping is free but some packages get lost "somewhere".
So it is just a risk you might want to take.
Only $ 2.90 to lose so for me better then eBay
Example: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/designer-s-data-cable-for-samsung-p1000-1m-length-51931
Bought there very cheap other accesoires as well:
http://s.dealextreme.com/search/p1000
When your at it I think you prefer to order a 2Amp car charger for example as well.
AliExpress also has lot's of items:
http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=charging+p1000&catId=0
Be sure to use a "gold supplier" if you want to have more guarantee that it actually be delivered.

Hi Guys!
I am pretty new on this forum, although i have been on xda years ago when i used windows mobile. Now i am proudly owner of a Nexus 7 16gb. I got this pre-ordered on the day Google announced it, and got my sister to bring it to me in the Netherlands. I own a C60, with pretty much no flaws except a very tiny screen lift which doesnt bother me.
Well, I started this topic because of the following:
Since I got the US version, it also came with the US wall charger wich doesnt work in the Netherlands.
Therefore i recently ordered a original EU wall charger to charge my Nexus 7. Charging with my laptop takes forever, wich seems to be a common problem with this nexus. Also other wall chargers don't work (dont show charge, or trickle charge. anyways, it takes forever).
Now i got this US > EU converter thing, so i can also use the US wall charger that came with my Nexus.
Since im now i cant post a picture of this converter, but its the first thing that shows up when u google: us eu converter
Only thing i am concerned about is the voltage. I got this simple converter wich only converts the plug type.
I have been told since im going from US (110v) to EU (220v), there shouldnt be any problems charging it using this converter.
But just to be sure, i would like to hear your opinions Is the original US wall charger compatible with 220v?
Thanks a lot!
You will be alright using the adapter. A friend of mine bought the nexus in the US and he uses one of those adapters to convert it to a EU adapter. The flat adapters will work in all of EU the round adapters will sometimes not fit in South European countries like Spain

Alright thanks!
So it will not be risky to charge with? I know it will charge with the converter, but is it safe for my Nexus?
Im asking this because i have already ordered a original EU Asus wall charger, it is not like i need it desperately to work.
But if i can use both EU and US charger with converter, it would be very convenient for when im not at home.

No risk at all. The charger will use the amount of power the nexus 7 needs to safely charge itself.

I looked around on different threads, and I can't seem to find the answer. does anyone know or have a good OTG cable which they use with the Nexus 7?? Thanks in advanced!
P.S. Is this in the right place forum for this?? or in the future am I supposed to put accessories questions in the accessory forum??
P.P.S If you haven't already figured out, I new, thanks for the help
Also
Also, If you use or know of a good docking station for the nexus 7, which supports data transfer between a computer and the tablet, that would be nice. Thanks in advanced
Sv: [Q] Good OTG cable?
You can buy OTG cables from E-Bay / Dealextreme. Take a look there, most of them is pretty ok and they are very cheap.
I use a OTG cable from a local store on my Xperia(Same cable, works 100% on Nexus 7) and its a pretty basic one. Just order a cheap one.
I got mine off Amazon ....2 bucks. Works fine! Took 3 weeks to get here.....but I didn't pay attention ....it was coming from Hong Kong. Lol

What is the best one for me to purchase? I looked online and they vary wildly in price, and some require external power to even function.
Anyone have some recommendations?

The cable from monoprice "mhl hdmi cable for android phones and tablets" works and doesn't need a power cord, it comes with everything you need including adapters. New here, so I can't post links

Whatever you do, Don't buy the super cheap ones off Amazon. Buy the more expensive Samsung one. I've bought several cheaper ones of Amazon and they always break or have super bad quality. They have "Samsung" branded ones on Amazon for 20$ but then you run the risk of getting counterfeit. I ordered this one straight from Samsung http://m.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-H10FAUWESTA over 8 months ago, and have used it across 3 devices (S3, S4, and Note 3) and haven't had any problems. Good luck!

No problem, glad I could be helpful. Another thing I would recommend is the Samsung smart dock. Found herehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009QW3TBK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1382314772&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70 it has a whole bunch of features. It is a USB hub, MHL adaptor, dock and headphone jack all in one. It's a bit spendy but an amazing little gadget. You can put your phone on it and just plug an HDMI cable straight into it and it works. It's pretty freaking cool.
OK can anybody help me . I just need to by a type-c cable to regular USB so I can have charger in my car and work i dont care about fast charging at this places just need a charger but with all this talk about incompatible cables and all I don't k ow what to get I mean i m just gonna use my old regular chargers just need the cables ... So would any type -c on amazon work

What's wrong with getting a cable directly from the Google Store. You don't have to worry about compatible and you know it will work. It's only $12.99 at the moment which is cheaper than most of the USB C Cables that are on the USB C Complaint Website that has been vetted by Benson Leung

I can confirm it's a nice cable. I bought one for my car. It's a little long, but the braided cover is nice. Cable is a little stiffer than a regular USB but it's pretty thick, but not quite as flexible as the OEM cables.
I'm about sick and tired of the terrible USB cable that came with this phone. Fast charging with the OEM cable is nearly impossible!! Can anyone recommend me a decent quality USB cable that supports fast charging and at least 6ft on Amazon? I would really appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!
if you're in the UK check out the betron pleated USB cables. Fast charge compatible and only £3.99 free delivery. works great

Yeah I'm in the US, I tried two purchases but didn't have any luck with delivery to US. Looks like exactly what I'm looking for though.

I second this. I got a red one of these cables and can't believe how good they are.
Fast charge as soon as plugged in, no more unplugging and replugging to get the fast charge to work.
Connecting to pc works flawlessly as well and data transfer speeds are fast.
Do you know where I can purchase one in the US? Or possibly even one that will just ship to the US? I can't find anything online that will ship to the US.
