Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with the charging cables and my note, so I'd like to hear if someone has an answer to this thing.
In short, I have the official Samsung charger and a Note that's fully operational, no dirty contacts on the charger, no broken pins or anything.
When I use the short Samsung USB cable with the charger, my phone charges normally. Yesterday I bought a longer USB cable(1.8meters long) and the phone just discharges during charge if I use it.
What's the huge difference between these two cables that makes the one I bought not work with my phone? Does anyone know of a certain brand of cables that 100% works with Note that I can order from eBay? I really need a long charging cable, and this Samsung one just doesn't cut it.
Thanks for the replies!

Try using a 2A charger..

Hi,
I am soon getting a Nexus S and I want some details of the battery charger. I want to know if the charger is compatible with ~240V voltage input.
Thanks
Yes. 110v-240v

Thanks for the reply! I got my answer.
Bump.
So this Blackberry wall charger should work fine charging the Nexus S? It says it discharges "100-240 volts—works with most international voltages"

I ask because I'd like to find a wall charger that plugs directly from the plug to the phone, without needing to connect the actual USB cable.
Hi,
Do you know if its possible to charge the i9000 using apple's car socket and a standard usb cable? I guess it should not make any difference, should it?
Thank you.
It shoud work, but very slowly. I have a car-USB adaptor and charged the phone with it, but it barely keeps the battery level. I bought a direct car charger and it charges very very fast (but the phone warms a lot). You'd better buy one, mine is a dealextreme one, very cheap.
I have a question for the xda community hopefully you guys can help me out: ok so i have been charging my tab in my car using both the cigarete lighter and ac outlet, but i have noticed that it discharges faster than it charges, for example if i am using the gps while charging the tab the tabs battery will drain. On the other hand if i am charging the tab at home on a regular wall outlet it charges fine. In comparison my samsung galaxy s charges fine in the car via the cigarete lighter. I am using the original charger that came with the tab. Any ideas as to why it drains faster than it charges? Thanks.

The Galaxy Tab USB port is wired slightly differently to other USB ports, which results in only getting a trickle-charge from regular USB cables. You need something like this...

I can't vouch for that particular seller, but I have one of those adaptors and it makes all the difference when plugging into anything USB.
Incidentally, when you say you're using the charger that came with the tablet, are you saying that it came with a car charger? I've not heard of that before.
Check the output of the charger. It should put out 2000mA. It should be written somewhere on the charger.

What I meant was that I am using both the cable and adapter that came with the tab on the car ac outlet

@johncmolyneux
I had read that the port was wired differently. Thanks for the link into ebay for the charger adapter. For the price, it's worth checking out.
I guess I can give it a try

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a decent USB cable for my sons N7?
Need to get a replacement, but the ones i currently have are not beefy enough to charge properly.
Cheers

Same problem, can only find pathetic skinny fragile things.
I have used this cable without any probs
AKASA part no AK-CBUB05-10BK
bought from CPC order code CS20881
Try a flat ribbon cable, Amazon Uk have them http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb...onics&rh=i:electronics,k:flat micro usb cable Various lengths and colours. I use a standard 1.2mtr blue one that I bought last year.
I'm using Logitech cable for charging (got it with the mouse) and Nokia cable for PC (they are always connected, that's why separate cables), so get one of those.
I've only had problems with 3 years old Samsung cable because it kept falling out (it stays in on my SE phone)
I really doubt beefyness of the cable affects charging though. I charged my tabled on just about any cable I've found laying around in the house with no problems
The reason as to why your charge cannot keep up is most likely due to using a charger with lower amperage (i.e 1amp/1A).
As long as you purchase a 2amp charger and compatible usb cable, then you shouldn't have any more issues with draining the battery faster than it can be charged thanks to the 2amp charge rate.

Thanks for the reply guys, this is using the Asus charger that came with the device, just that the original cable split, so I need a replacement.
Have looked at the cables, might get one of the flat ones as they look good.
Cheers,
Paul.
Just to let you know I bought the flat ones and they fit and work really well.
Thanks for the replys all.

Trick is to get a short a cable as you can. The impedance really effects charging. The difference between my stock and a 6' cable is like a 60% drop.

So my situation is that, using the app Galaxy Charging Current, my current seems to be fluctuating. I got several cables and they were okay for a few weeks and after a while their performance started to degrade even though there was no abuse. The cables would be charging at 1800mA one moment, the next it'll be 1400mA. The values would also change if I plug in and out the cable. Oddly though, using the same cable and charger combo on another phone, the charge would be about 1800mA. I'm thinking that the USB port might be broken because when plugged in, I could wiggle the USB quite a bit. Also, I'm using an original Samsung charger too. Anyone else had any problems like this before? Did changing the USB port helped? I don't really mind changing it, but I rather not spend money on something unless I'm pretty sure.
