Happy New Year fellow Androidians! I'm looking for a right angle charging/data cable that's longer than 1m (3.3 ft). Has anyone come across one yet? I haven't been able to find one anywhere. Thanks in advance!
Is this the kind you are looking for?

I've been looking for a spare wall charger for my Transformer. The main one I have is dodgy at best and I need to send it back for replacement but a spare one is always handy anyway. According to the spec this one is compatible. Just wondering if anyone else has tried one like this?

Thanks!
I see it's 5V/1A... Don;t think that's enough for (proper/fast) charging of the TF101...
nope it will only trickle charge it same as putting it in a USB port and take days to charge if at all. You need 15 volts to charge it properly.

i have the same problem and has been living with it for the last 1 yr or so! don't know if it was the usb port or the cable's fault but don't have another cable to try
one word of advise though. don't try flashing any sbf or you might end in trouble with an incomplete flash......

thanks for the link. keeping it just incase i decided to do it too. i've already bought a couple of cheap/fake batteries and a desktop charger.
46c each!!!??? that's cheap enough, except the postage/freight is going to be much more
good luck and let us know the outcome.
Just in case either of you were wondering, I have not received the USB ports just yet. I will be posting a successful repair one way or another!
crashed and burned. destroyed the PCB where the USB ports are soldered... theyre just too small to be re-soldered by human hands. only way to charge my defy at this point is by macgyver some cut USB cables onto the battery terminals..
i'm sorry to hear that! you could alway buy a second battery and a desktop charger to get around your problem like what i did. they both can be bought from ebay for a few dollars each, like:

Hey Im wondering if anyone is using this with there Nexus, I have one but the cable doesn't fit well due the the slight curve on the bottom. I currently sanded the cable down a little bit and fits perfect, but wanted to know if anyone has modded there's in a different way. If you don't know what this cable is, here you go : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slFDCV4uDPs
I love this cable!

This is supposed to be released soon I think. It's what I am waiting for. I have found nothing else suitable.

I've got two Simple Touches with loose charging ports. I was as careful as I could be for years, but eventually the not-very-durable attachments broke and they are unusable.
I've taken one of the Nooks apart, but can't find any numbers on the port or the board, or specs on the details of the port to buy some more. So far the best I've come up with is: Micro USB port type B, female, 5-pin, 4-leg. The pics I've found on these show variability of the leg shape and the spacing, and whether the bevel on the male connector faces up or down relative to the legs.
Can anyone help me with further specs for these ports or where to get them? I've spent hours researching this (right now I have more time than money) and no luck so far. My hope is I can mess around with a friend's hot air soldering station and get at least one of these to work again. And beef up the attachment so it doesn't break again.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Sorry to hear about your nook problem.
I am not a technician but the micro Usb port is a pretty common one, So I think a common Micro USB port will work
If you can please contact a professional technician .They will do the fix quickly. If not post this in mobileread forum
(http://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=231) The technical genius in here seems to absent
these days.
Check out these ebay links.
http://www.ebay.com/bhp/micro-usb-connector
You can contact the sellers with your orginal port(picture of the port) and get verified. Also check local phone
hardware sellers or even Amazon.com.
Wish you all the best.

Thanks. I couldn't keep the link I had to the different variations on the 4-leg placement (because I'm new) but I originally had a similar link included. There doesn't seem to be a way to clarify what exactly matches the Nook port except maybe as you say, with ultra close-up pictures. Ebay had a bit more detail in general than Amazon, but still unable to narrow it down sufficiently. There were probably ten different types that were close-but-no-cigar.
I did contact a local cell phone repair place that gets raves for replacing phone ports, but they won't do a Nook, and if it cost more than $20 or 30 wouldn't be worth it. I also have spent hours sifting thru stuff on the mobilereads site (it's how I felt able to take one of the Nooks apart and start messing around) which has some great details, but not this exact one.
Hay, don't be so concerned about this port.
I personally use 3 phones and my sister got 2 phones.
So we use different mini Usb cables to charge or transfer files to our devices.
But we never had problems.
So the lesson is most of the devices use same or identical mini usb ports.
Therefore just use the most common port and just experiment.I know Nook use safty steps to prevent short circuits. So don't be so worried but be careful with the soldering.
(Use the ebay sellers to get the port you want.Most of them are very helpful.)
Best Regards

There is a place in San Diego that advertises NST repairs (among others), including the micro USB port. Obviously they are in the repair business, but you might get lucky if you contact them. Maybe they can give you specs on the port. Heck, since they are in SD, they might even be able to give you a Mouser part number!
Try searching for the connectors on mouser.com or the like. You should be able to get a good description of the dimensions from the datasheets. You can order in quantities as low as one.
