i bought the wrong OTG cable - Nexus 10 Accessories

I just received my OTG cable and saw it was the wrong one I've ordered.
It's turned so its in the way of the mini-jack and the mini usb is too long so there's a gap between the nexus and the plastic on the cable.
could someone point me to the right cable? preferably from aliexpress.com or amazon.co.uk as they will ship to Denmark.
Tnx

I know that sometimes on the US site of amazon it will show up the same on the .co.uk one. So I'll give you the link and see if it works. This is the OTG cable I use with no issues.
Edit: As I just read in the customer comments there. There appears to be some issues depending on the seller. I bought it from seller "Crazy-Store(ship from Hongkong)" (no affiliation to the seller other than being a customer).
Note: It did take about 2-3 weeks for it to arrive to me here in New York, USA.

tnx but they won't ship to Denmark.
I think I've found the right one on amazon UK but they won't ship it here either so there's aliexpress left.
is there a way i can be sure i won't the one with the long connector?

Hard to say given the circumstances. If you check out the comments that I mentioned in my previous post. I guess I got lucky. I'm sure there's someone on here that can or will eventually give a more definitive answer.
Of course, assuming the sellers are actually selling the correct product on Amazon, then I'd say you are going to get the correct cable. And again that's a pretty big assumption after what other people said on Amazon.

according to the comments on the amazon link a seller on ebay named itrimming sould have the right cable so i've made a bid.
Now i just have to wait +9 hours to know if i got it.
hate ebay when i just want to buy something

Bought my two cables here:

Takes usually 3 weeks to have them (Germany) but free shipping :laugh:

Sv: i bought the wrong OTG cable
Yeah but that one doesn't have the angled connector

Cheapest Place for Sync Cables?

Hi Guys,
I've been looking for a cheap place to grab sync cables for the HD2 but to no avail. I bought a few ones from a seller on Ebay except they seem to only just charge the phone but no syncing occurs.
Does anyone know a place where cheap sync cables can be found??
cheers,
Zhuk
It depends on your location, if you are in EU fastest and cheapest way to go is this
Bought already several of these - perfect sync and charge.
says its for the blackberry
Nevermind what it says it is 100% compatible.

Any micro USB cable should do. just search for "micro USB cable" on ebay and you should get several results.

Dead Wall Adapter

The ASUS wall adapter that came with my Nexus 7 is dead, I can still charge the N7 via USB connected to a PC but not via the wall adapter. I contacted ASUS for a replacement and they say it is not covered under warranty, I can buy a new one for $9.99. I bought the N7 at Staples and they will just replace the N7, cable, and wall adapter, basically return the entire package for a new one. However, Staples doesn't have any more in stock and doesn't know when they will be available. I also don't really want to replace the tablet itself.
Anyone know of a good replacement wall adapter? If the stock ASUS is so weak that it dies in a week, I don't really want to throw good money at another one and would rather get a better one. Also ASUS says three week delay in getting one which is also not really good for me.
Thanks all for your help!
PS, I called google, had I purchased from them they would have replaced it free.

That's rollox, of course it's covered but your first point of contact has to be Staples, your contract is with them not Asus or Google.

Thanks for trying to help, my first contact was Staples, they offered to exchange the entire N7 (wall adapter, cable, tablet) but are out of stock and can only say they will be available in two - three weeks. Staples suggested I contact ASUS as ASUS carries the warranty for the device when outside the exchange window for Staples or the 14 day window from Google.
I contacted ASUS and they won't replace the wall adapter under warranty, they offer to sell me one but also say it will be a long time (weeks) before being shipped.
I think its crap ASUS won't back the wall adapter and replace it free of charge under warranty!
So, I ask again, anyone know of a good wall adapter replacement?
Thanks in advance for all your help!!

Have a search, there's a thread on "chargers" which is US specific.

Ah, sorry Grizzly fan, come live in the UK m8
As for chargers, avoid any of the Griffin ones even though they make some good adaptors, personal experience and posts here say the N7 doesn't even recognise you've got one plugged in.
Many aftermarket charger/cable combos don't play well with the N7. I ordered this one that's supposedly made for the N7, hasn't arrived yet but possibly today. Might be worth a shot.

usb on the go support

Hi everyone!
From what I have collected so far, N7 will support usb on the go IF:
1) you rooted your device;
2) use Stickmount app
However, I cant really find any usb otg cables in my local stores....-_-......yes ridiculous, i know!!
So here comes the question.....will those mini usb male, full size usb 2.0/3.0 female cable works?
or even those adapters instead of cable, will those work with Stickmount?
TL;DR = can i use any adapter for the usb otg function?
Search for OTG .... several threads about it, using it, finding it (mail order online), etc...

I got a few cables from ebay for $3.90 each shipped and they work great.

Uh, check the cell phone shops, since most are shipping from hong Kong, they shouldn't charge much to ship to Canada instead of US. (Just guessing though, or you could try ebay)

Anyone try this car mount?

http://www.mobilefun.com/37623-samsung-galaxy-note-2-car-mount-cradle-charger-with-handsfree.htm
Its a power mount like iBolt
It has a built in speaker on the cigarette lighter
Comes with a charger
Activates car mode
Custom fit for note 2, not generic
Fits with or without a thin case
Small foot print
Only $33
I just ordered the same one from Mugen. I hope automatic car mode works as the MobileFun site says.
Please post back. Deciding between this and the iBolt.
This one is cheaper and offers the same benefits as the iBolt, but is a custom built cradle and not a generic clamp.
This is where I ordered it from: http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2-car-mount-cradle-with-handsfree.html because it was a dollar or so cheaper after liking them on Facebook.
I didn't notice until afterwards that it will ship from overseas somewhere. They said it will take 4-5 weeks to get here. I don't know if MobileFun ships from the US or not, but I'm not happy about the wait I'll have to endure.

I think mobilefun is a uk company.
Biggest difference I'd say is lack of usb audio

SAMSUNG QI Wireless Charger Stand PAD FAST CHARGE Dock for $39.99 fake?

I just bought this thing off Ebay and didn't do my homework because some people have bought other wireless chargers that were cheap like this one. I'm going to go to Best Buy and will pick up the original one to compare to the one that is coming. The one off ebay is $39.99 while the one's on BB is $69.99. Sounds too good to be true. I already contacted the seller and told them that I WILL KNOW if it's fake. I'll post my findings here so no one gets screwed like probably I did. I'm going to return it (almost certain).
Sounds too good to be true, so.....
Keep us posted.

I saw a video on YouTube where someone waswas explaining tdifferences between a fake wireless charger and an original wireless charger. There were somesome subtle differences and you could only tell by having the original and fake one side by side. I think that someone mentioned that the fake one would only do a "wireless charging", while the original one would say "fast charging", when you would put the phone (S7 edge) on the charger. Also there are power bricks that are fake too. Honestly, I would only buy these charges from BB and maybe B&H. Not even AMZN, because there have been fake ones in there too. I'll pick up the original one probablyprobably today from BB. The one from Ebay is coming tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.
OK, so I just picked up the original wireless charger pad for $75 at the local BB. Now I have to wait for the one coming from eBay. I also bought a car charger that is supposed to be from Samsung too, but BB doesn't carry that one. I'm also weary about the car charger. It sucks to have to deal with this, but it is what it is.
Update: just tested the car charger bought from Ebay (hopefully original Samsung charger). My phone does say "fast charging", so I'm thinking that is a good sign.
I've just recently taken delivery of four of these (black) sold and shipped by Amazon.com LLC for $36.34 a piece.
They are quite genuine. Not sure why anyone would want to risk eBay when those are available.

Some of the stuff I buy from eBay ends up coming from Amazon. But anyways, after carefully looking at the one that came from BB and the one that came from Ebay, the Ebay one seems original, but it almost looks used (the BB one looks more glossy, if that makes sense). Also the chargers look slightly different. The Ebay one has a V in the back, while the BB one has a VI. Also, the packaging is different too, so I'll probably be returning both and buying one from AMZN like it was mentioned above. Even at AMZN you have to be careful because some sellers do slip fake chargers in there too. So bottom line, don't get this from Ebay.

Precisely why I referenced Amazon.com LLC as the seller. Maybe others have had an experience dissimilar to mine, but I've never received a fake product from them - and even if it were to happen, has anyone ever had them deny a legitimate return?
With Red Weasel Sales (TM) you take your chances. Maybe you'll win, maybe you'll get burned.
If you find out it's real, and there's more, please post up links. Nobody wants to pay full price lol.
