Beware of aftermarket USB cables

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.

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:

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.

Thans from another dutch guy who borght his stuff at mobilesupplies.nl for reasonable proces. Two charges a Docking station and a bluetooth keyboard in leather case.

question about charger

A quick question about the supplied AC charger of the Nexus 10.
I ordered one from the USA Play Store and i'll need to use it in Europe as well. Does the charger work at 220V or is just 110V?
Thanks!

As an electrician, it won't. You would need the correct wall adapter.

Why wouldn't it? My N4 charging adapter works with 110 and 220.
Read what the adapter says on it. It'll tell you.

Just looked at mine, it says 110-240v. Should work with an adapter.

Alright, thanks! I'll just need an adapter.
Can't wait to get my hands on the device... it's been shipped and should be delivered tomorrow

Well you would need an adapter. The standard us wall receptacle won't fit in Europe

Bulk interest Philips Qi charger??

I'm sorry guys, just checked the stock again and almost all the stores in the country are empty now I suspect that some Dutch people who read this thread quickly got one themselves or something. A store which had 4 yesterday, now has 0 and normally these chargers never sell fast. I still have two reserved which I will offer to the people that first responded (will contact you soon).
Sorry again! I really hate that this happened but I couldn't go and bought some yesterday without knowing if people are interested and being stuck with them.
Admin plz lock this topic!
Hi all,
The Philip Qi charger just got discounted here in The Netherlands to €20, this one: http://www.philips.co.uk/c/-/-dlp7210b_10/prd/en/consumer
However, shipping to the US is normally very expensive (0 to 2kg = €19,95). But if I strip the chargers from their packaging and only send the charger/powersupply I can fit about 7 in the box which results in $32 (€23) total costs. I know another XDA user (dralways) who arranged the N4 and N10 for me I could ship the chargers to him so you could pick it up (stillwater, oklahoma) at his house or he could ship it from within the US.
This topic is to see if there is any interest as I know quality Qi chargers are very expensive in the US and I like to help you guys out.
You can have it for $32 (€23) but I always appreciate a small tip for my troubles ? I will test them all before shipping. Payment is through PayPal if we can gather enough people to proceed.
About the charger: it has a very good build quality and charges as quick as the normal USB charger. Output of the Qi charger is 1 A or 1000 ma compared to the 1.2 A or 1200 ma of the stock USB charger, so very close. Furthermore, one of the stronger Qi chargers I've seen. I don't have any troubles to get my phone to 100% (some chargers are reported to charge only to somewhere in the 90s). I will try to post some pictures tonight!
Let me know, if you are interested!
Rob
UPDATE:
I can probably fit one charger in a large padded envelope, shipping to the US would be €9,50 so if you prefer to have it send straight to your home we are talking about $40 (€29,50). For other countries, just contact me for a shipping price. The stock at the stores is very limited (I know someone who works at one of the stores and can check the stock of others) so I've to look, depending on demand, how much I'm able to get. If I can get interest in 7 devices total for bulk then that one has priority,
Users interested (need to have interest for 7 units total):
- Jrob2k (1)
- nateysmith (2 or 3)
- incognito2 (1)

I'm interested

@nateysmith it works wonderful here, haven't had any problems with it. Note that the charging output is 1 A (or 1000 ma) which is very close to the 1.2 A (1200 ma) of the USB charger. Most Qi chargers have a lower output.

What is the connection like from the mains to the charger? Is it something I might already have (MicroUSB? I can dream...) or would I need to find a mains adapter to use it in Canada?

EDIT: Was too eager. Maybe later, broke right now

Nope, I can fit one in a large envelope. 2 is always possible but then the shipping costs are €19.95. That is why I'm trying to get a bulk of 7 shipped to dralways in the US so let me know what you want.
I will try to buy as many chargers as I can get this week, so far I have 2 reserved in one store and 2 in another. There is a possibility that I can get 3 - 4 more available in another store, so stay tuned!

Would love to get 3 to germany. I send you a PM

n00b status, but PM sent. Thanks. :good:

Fast charging USB cables on Amazon?

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
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Betron-Rein...TF8&qid=1455478189&sr=8-2&keywords=betron+usb

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.

20W Wireless Charger

Does anyone know where the new wireless 20 watt charger for Note 10+ (with US plug) can be bought from, or at least pre-ordered? It seems unlike the phone itself, it was announced but haven't been made available. Please post links if you've seen an online store that has it for sale.

That would be the one I'm asking about, thanks. It's actually a 20W wireless charger, not 15W. This phone arena link explains the reason it's listed at 15W only is because FCC is slow and lazy, and they don't even have a 20W certification process for wireless chargers, and they only moved from 5W to 15W last year, so they were able to certify the charger for 15W only. Also Roland Quandt, the guy who originally leaked this charger says he's personally witnessed this charger working at 20W charging rate.

best buy have them in stock already you can have it shipped
