I purchased one of these cables at Fry's (Frys # 7673737) and when I use it with the usb plug block which came with the Note II it charges faster than the original Samsung cable. I also get higher numbers on the Galaxy Charging Current *Lite* app. It was originally $14.99, but on sale now for $4.95.
Hey there rvb1. How much higher were your numbers when using the galaxy current charging app? I am curious because I was in the market for a new cable and live within distance of Fry's. Wish I had known sooner, I already pulled the trigger, purchased, and now waiting for d.i.y. usb and micro usb connectors to fashion my own heavy gauge, high current cables. A few of them I will make for charging only (data ports bridged within plug) because I have another charger or two (non-samsung) that will not charge at high rate unless the data ports are bridged. Until now, I have been using a usb adapter that I made to do so. Anyway, good find and at a good price.....
With Cygnet I get maximum 1800. With the original Samsung cord I get 1300.

Anyone that understands the whole wiring and power in cables; why is that if the charger is 2.1 amps, why does it not fully hit that or am I mis understanding the concept. I know different USB cables will vary.

It may have something to do with the overall supply of power to the outlets. As in the wiring through the house. I think that's the only other legitimate option as to why we can't get the whole 2.1. Or maybe even the hp concept for cars. Maybe have 300 hp rating but after output and everything you're at 275. Just my 2 cents

Reason for the whole horsepower deal in cars it's simply the fact that at the crank or the flywheel it will make all that power it just loses the power going through the hole the whole engine to the actual wheels I can go further in detail into that but its not necessary

Hi, I I recently bought this adapter online so i don't have to carry two separate cables when I travel (one for tab, and other for phone).

This product works well as it allows you to charge your tab with a micro sd cable and standard tab wall charger or any charger with usb dongle. If you have any questions let me know, I but I highly recommend this to all tab users who also have phones that charge through micro usb.

I have (2) different micro usb host cables for galaxy s 2 and I was thinking of trying to consolidate and use them here too but I don't know how to compile a kernel with host capabilities.
If someone where to be able to make one for me that will work with overcome I can test this.

If you want to use a computer or an usb wall charger you can buy a USB DC dongle and it will charge.

Nice! This is exactly what I was looking for, as I've repurposed my P1000 as a head unit and need to charge it in the car while it's in use, and didn't have any success hacking together a cable with resistors to do the trick.
what about file sync? i mean can it work like regular usb cable to connect tab2 to PC, for file managment and stuff?
it should be possible, since it's regular usb2.0 on the other side of the cable and micro-usb is just the same wiring but smaller...
so i noticed it doesn't charge from a PC's usb, and it will do if i use magical adapter mentioned in replies here, right?
The Question is = will it allow file management and charging at the same time if i use micro-usb and usb-charge adapter?
also found this: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/592818965/for_Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_USB_Adapter.html
it only states that it charges over micro-usb, not sure if it can transfer data.
and this: http://www.sunsky-online.com/view/232254.htm
this states that it's for P1000 (dunno, do they have same connector?) and it doesn't clarify if it's for charging only or can transfer data
Dear XDA tribe,
My dad recently handled me his Samsung Galaxy Tab P-1000.
It has been on my desk for a long time without turning it on, like it hasn't been used for over than 5 months.
Now I got an adapter and I wanted to charge it and use it.
I plugged in the charger and the battery appeared and it was charging a bit green. I gave it an hour then tried to power up the tab, it did not work.
Now when I put it in the charger it gives me the following, and it keeps appearing and disappearing. On and on.
I would really like your help, thanks in advance.

Should be right charger, doesn't look like mine but mine is USA plug.
The symptom you describe, it is as if the connection isn't good.
Try plug it snugly and leave it for 5-8hr and see how it goes.

It used to charge with it, like I could see the battery getting more greener and all. But it doesn't do that now.
I tried getting it into the download mode, ODIN finds it, and looses it in 2 seconds.
The charger says as follows;
OUTPUT: 5.0V = 1.0A
Well,his charger looks different as he is from Riyadh. Priyana's method should work
But mine is 2A. I think this charger is a bit underrated. Should be ok still. But charge slower. Don't go flashing until it is full.

Well, I don't really think it is charging.
I left it for an hour now, it's still doing the same thing.
Would it be a good idea to open it apart so I can remove the battery and let it work straight on the electric plug?
Hhmm..
I think the circuit doesn't work that way.
But you can charge using a PC USB port too albeit slow.
I still think you don't have the right wall charger.
Sure it isn't mixed up with some other Samsung device?
Edit: attached picture of my charger, with the removable bit to change the pin plug, I suspect a UK plug is available.

Yes, just keep charging. You know that car charger may work better? Those that goes to cigarette lighter.
Car batt has higher amp and the DC charging is more pure than AC to DC.
I don't recommend opening and I don't know if it works.
In my HTC magic, if I take out the battery, the charger won't power up the phone.
The point is, just keep charging if you can, on PC, USB 2/3 or car.

Alright, I fixed it. Here's what happened;
I thought that since the connection seems to be interrupted, I thought that it was time to change the battery since so much time has passed on and the device didn't work.
So I got a new battery, installed it and WA LA !

FYI: Best chargers for any phone that charges with microUSB, are the stock Blackberry ones (the old, bulky ones, not the newer cubes)! By far!!!

I am using one of these cables, but in a different manner, ie I am accessing a WD Passport 1TB external drive. (does not have ac in) Both my drive is powered AND my phone is charged. (tried using both a 10kmAh external battery pack as well is direct AC adapter.
Know it's not exactly the setup you are using, but as far as cables go, the phone seems to work well with this setup. YMMV

But... the 4.1.2 update stopped the USB from working on my Note 2, and someone else is reporting a similar problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38611244&postcount=42 . What happens is the Note 2 does detect it's using a dock, but the USB functionality doesn't work for some odd reason (even after a reboot).
I will reply again if it starts working in a future update.

Probably the same as the s3 - shorted pins = otg+no charging, resistor fools the phone into thinking it has an accessory/dock that can charge safely.

It sees that it's in a "dock" but nothing I plug in will work. It does charge though. If I short out the pins I get host mode, but no charging. This is with the Jedi rom, not stock.
In the car I have to use the usb port on my FM Transmitter which is like 70ma! So it's a trickle charger. I tried the ones with my car socket adapter nope as they are 500ma.... I also have a 2.1A adapter but yeah that of course won't work.
So do I need to fish out a 100ma for it to charge properly in the car? I think I have some usb car adapters somewhere from other gadgets I can try....
Picky phone.... Any tweaks to make it accept more juice?

I too am having big issues with using car chargers. I guess I never tried before. I tried with several chargers in several cars. No luck at all getting my T-mobile Samsung Exhibit 4G to charge. I want to start using it for navigation.
What is the duracell charger mentioned above. I saw a duracell charger at the drugstore but it was just a lighter plug adapter and looked just like any other. Do duracell cigarette lighter plug adapters work with the T-mobile Samsung Exhibit 4G better than other adapters?
Is this a known issue about T-mobile Samsung Exhibit 4phones not working with car adapters? I will search for other threads on the issue but haven’t seen it except for here.
I am running peach sunrise if that matters.

The Duracell one gives the proper power out for this phone, as well as the Nexus 4, so I would imagine it works on all Android phones, making it a good investment. Some come will Android and iPhone plugs, too!
