I would like a longer cable that will also allow charging from computer USB, car charger USB port, etc...
Basically I don't want to be limited to having to have that brick of a Samsung wall charger with me, and of course the longer cable.
Can anyone recommend one? I've looked on Amazon but all the descriptions just aren't clear enough...
Unfortunately I have been reading that the "bulky" charger is the only one that will charge the tab properly. My suggestion would be to buy a USB extension cable to solve ur short cable issue.

Really? I swear I read of a cable that would work on computer USB.... darn, my cable is short circuiting at the 30 pin so I need a new one regardless. I have an extention cable already.

I leave my tab plugged in overnight to my pc using the supplied samsung usb data cable. It charges at a slower rate but is typically charging about 70% over a 9 hour period.
I also have an USB3.0 2.0m extension cable (tried an ASUS transformer for a week), which allows charging and data transfer ok

That will allow the Tab to charge from any 2A charger (most common would be iPad chargers).
The tab will go into USB charging mode (e.g. charging disabled) with iPad chargers unless you use the cable above or modify the charger.
I haven't had time to investigate, but it MIGHT be possible to allow charging from unmodified iPad chargers with a kernel modifications. Not sure - it depends on whether we have separate ADCs for USB D+ and D- or not.
this will work, you could also buy the cable without the charger.

Dude not to be rude but the Guy is looking for a cable that will charge his tab from his computer. That is the stock charger and cable that came with the tab. That one doesn't accomplish the task

Can't charge from PC, not enough current available. Best you can do is adapters like th DX one to allow iPad chargers which are often more compact.

Tab, not Tab 10.1 - The original 7" Tab will charge from a PC, the 10.1 will not.
The cable will work with the Tab 10.1 just like the 10.1's stock sync cable - which means it will transfer data but not charge when connected to a PC.
Guys, I keep reading in this thread that the tab 10.1 can't be charged via a PC, well I'm here to tell you it can and does. Every night I leave mine connected to my PC, and in the morning it's charged! Admittedly it's a slower charge rate (seems to be around 6 or 7% per hour), but it charges never the less. I use the samsung supplied cable and nothing else.
Of course, it won't charge if the tab is in use via a PC USB port...
This is hooked up to the Samsung charger , I have-no idea what the heck is going on..... anyone else?

if you turn off the tab and then plug it in, does the battery screen come on and does the device charge?

My guess - faulty resistors in the charger or one of the wires in the cable is dead.
The Tab expects to see USB D+ and D- shorted together and floating at 1.2 volts, set by a resistor divider in the charger.
Does the cable work fine for USB data transfer?
I think the user has possibly used the wrong wording. If he's seeing the MTP mode come on that means that he's just got it plugged into a USB port on a machine whilst the tablet is on (whilst using the "charger" cable).
Simple answer if that's the case. The tab doesn't charge that way as there isn't enough power coming through the port to keep the tab on and charge. If you however switch off the tab, you should find it charges from the USB port
If not, let us know.
Actually the tab is going into MTP mode while plugged into the outlet, using the supplied Samsung power adapter and supplied 30 pin cable.
I think i need to call Samsung for replacement... although after really thinking about what I just typed I think might be simpler to just buy a new cable online.
Or is it the actual power adapter that's faulty....
Well that is quite odd then. Does the tab charge if you switch it off and then plug it into the outlet / pc?

No, his wording was explicit enough to indicate that the tab is falsely detecting the factory charger as a USB host. This will happen with iPad/iPod/iPhone chargers, and would happen with the factory charger if the cable were faulty (D+ or D- open) or if the charger were faulty.
Again, to the OP: Does the cable work for syncing to a PC to transfer data? If it doesn't work at all, that's a sign that D+ or D- of the cable is open.
Meh, some people use words such as charger and cable interchangeably in terms of their truer intended meanings at times.
I was simply trying to cover that base.
Not sure if the cable works for data ....as I do everything over the air. The cable was giving me troubles at the tab end, (loose connection) but lately has been working OK.
I also haven't been charging and using at the same time lately either. I really needto contact Samsung and talk to them about a warranty replacement, but I have a feeling I'd be better off just buying a new one off Amazon or the like....

I have the same issue. Check that with different cables. So cable and charger is not the reason
If you're running a ROM with Pershoot's kernel, you can "Enable Charge From ANY USB" (see link in my signature). If you're running something else, you can make yourself a "DIY Universal Charging Inline Cable" that will trick the Tab into charging off anything (again, see the link in my signature).
But before you go out spending money (even if it's just a little bit of $$$) you should see if the cable works for data transfer between your computer and the tab.
If the cable works, then the "DIY Universal Charging Inline Cable" will keep you going until Samsung sends you a replacement charger.
I had this problem and didn't know what was wrong for a while. It turned out the the charger wasn't plugged in all the way in the outlet. I guess it wasn't getting all the juice it needed.
Am suddenly getting this problem tonight also it sometimes turns my tablet off but won't let me turn it on till I pull the charger out.I've also noticed that if I plug it in when the tab is off the battery sometimes comes up saying it's charging
just plugged the usb lead in to 2 laptops and they both show a usb error
I started having the same problem 2 days ago. All of a sudden i plugged in the wall charger and it went into MTP mode. It will charge if turned off but I've noticed it takes a much longer time to charge. From 3% it took almost 24 hrs to completly charge. Thinking that I'll have to buy a new wall charger.
Please help
Another one about charging...
My 10.1 P7510 takes tooooo long to charge, even beeing off. If I connect it to my notebook data transfer is correct but battery keeps draining, or at least not charging. If I turn it off (either connected to PC or charger) the charging icon appears correctly. I must say that cable (and charger) are not the original ones
Is it a problem of the Tab, or cable, and/or charger ?
I think the charger did not have enough current to charge the tab while still using it. The stock charger should be rated at 5V 2A. I tried another charger with only 1A and it still worked. Anything lower than 1A will end up showing that MTP mode.

I've got the same problem myself except I had to clean the charger clean of marinade sauce (it's a long story, don't ask!) and I took the device back to my local Vodafone store (I got it on a Mobile Broadband contract) as I thought it was faulty. They claimed the device was working fine although they used their own cable and not mine. They also claimed that if it was the cable, I should be easily able to buy one.
I tried buying one in every store I could think of, including the phone repair shops and they didn't sell them at all!
It's just a shame that a tablet like this which could have been a great tablet is crippled not only with no MicroSD slot, but also using a crappy proprietary socket whereas all the other Tabs have a MicroSD slot/uses a Micro USB port.
(I've already ordered a replacement cable from Amazon UK in any case for a reasonable price)
mtp-connected and media scanner running
I bought. My Tab 8.9 last November, only started having this problem since last night. There is red cross and mtp-connected,also,"media scanner running". I am using original cable and adapter that come with the Tab. Has anyone here found a solution?
Hi!
All owners of Kidigi car dock should read and do this!
I got a Kidigi car dock with charger. The first thing I tried was putting the phone on the included charger - and indeed, it did charge in "AC mode" (aka 1000mA max).
Then I installed the cradle, connected the charger to the cradle and started using it.
But after 2 days I noticed it doesn't really charge when navigating or recording - and it was not an overheat issue. So today I looked again and it was charging in USB mode!
Apparently, the good folks at Kidigi screwed up the connection inside the dock (probably to trigger Car mode and forgot to connect it all).
The fix:
1) unscrew the four visible screws on the back of the dock (not the 4 center ones)
2) unscrew the fifth screw under the label on top
3) unscrew the phillips screw that holds the connector
4) short PINs on the phone side labelled D- and D+ (I just used a blob of solder)
5) that's it
Now it triggers Car mode AND charges in AC.
This fix is essential for anybody using this dock, and I'll be mailing Kidigi shortly to let them know they screwed up...
mine charges mine fine whilst using GPS and Bluetooth.
Not a quick charge tho but it definitely charges more than discharges if that makes sense .
I will check the pins tho thanks =)

I hope this wasn't on purpose for the sake of overheating?

It doesn't overheat from charging, but from using it (Navigation, recording, video...). AC charging does no harm in this respect (nor does it help).
You'll notice it when something is running and the brightness is on full - USB charging will not feed the phone and it will start to discharge.
So is this a problem at the charger end if so I have a belkin 1amp charger I can use.
I understand the data pins have to be shorted for it to see the AC mode.
In my power menu both the chargers I have say AC whether plugged in through the dock
or just to the cable and charger without the dock.
surely this means its OK or would show usb am I wrong?
I've opened the dock and can't see for the life of me the name on the pins +
my soldering skills are a bit much to be desired when working this small

No, the problem is inside the cradle itself - even though pins on your charger are shorted, they are not even connected through the cradle connector. You have to short them at the cradle connector.
Btw all chargers will work as AC then
Strange that it shows AC for you, are you sure it's right? Can you make a photo of the connector? Maybe you got a different revision or something...

Yes it definately shows AC for both my chargers whether plugged through the cradle or not.
Does yours show USB or something? Like I said mine does charge all be it very slowly when using copilot.
Is the writing for the pins obvious for you as I swear I have none

I'll be damned!
Plug phone in dock then plug in charger (shows AC!)
Plug charger in FIRST then put phone in dock shows USB!
In the instructions they say to do it the first way I think.
I wonder if it is charging AC then hmmmmmm?

Gonna go get dressed ( I'm having a lazy morning ) and i will double check but I swear its fine
EDIT : Confirmed mine is fine. I checked with the bundled charger cable as well as my own and whether the plug is in before the HOX is in the cradle or after, power settings shows "Charging AC" in all cases. I haven't seen USB charging at all with the cradle. They must have realised their mistake and fixed it.
Today the car dock Kidigi arrived.
When connecting the phone, I noticed that there is recharged via USB.
Through this tip, Is now loaded by AC ....!

(Sorry for my bad English)
Seems I'm the only one with a working dock out the box!!
Mine is aslo writing AC charge, but it is definitelly not AC charge. Going to fix it
I'm definitely curious how mine is going to work.
Ordered mine last week through ebay, so I hope it's a late build without the problem.
'Cause I don't have a blob or solder or whatever can fix this thing...
Hi guys,
I recently bought one of these Kidigi car mounts for my HTX One X and have found that the battery will slowly drain (about 1% every 10 mins) when I have it docked and am using sat nav (Google Nav or Co-Pilot). My battery app says that the phone is charging (estimates about 6 hours to charge 30%).
I've checked the charging method and it shows that it's charging via AC (not USB).
I've tried a few things like running Co-Pilot in power saving mode, dimming the screen, closing down all over background apps, but my battery still slowly drains.
Do you think this soldering fix might help?
Thanks all.
AC or USB changing
Hi, i've brought various chargers off ebay and other sources and even when the phone reports AC charging i've had leads that use wire so thin that the phone cant get the high current charging to work.
Check that your adapter is providing more than 500 mA. Certainly I've had no trouble with it charging the phone while navigating.
I have a question regarding this mod. I bought this charger and am fixing to recenter the microusb port to properly mate with otterbox commuter case still on. The OP states to just short the 2 data pins together, but I'm wondering if I should do this with a resistor to load balance the lines or if that is even necessary?
I'd like to buy a new and extra cable (not the charger) to connect my device to my computer and charge it then as well.
Apparently this kind of cable, micro data usb, seems to be universal. Is it really so as I don't want to damage it if I buy a generic cable.
Any help me would be great
I was also wondering this because I would like to buy a much longer cable since my power outlet is far from my bedside table.
The cables are universal, so any length would work for charging (data transfer not guaranteed).
Actually they are not that universal. While I dont have any technical specs there are quite large differences.
eg a PC USB slot will only deliver 500 mA UNLESS certain pins are connected that allows the connected device to tell the PC that it can take more than 500 mA. They will look the same but 1 cable will only deliver 500 mA & a different cable could deliver 1000 mA.
Another cable might be wired up for delivering power only from a USB slot or from the wall adapter, but at the same time not be able to do any data transfer.
To be sure I bought an Htc official cable.
You could always just buy a usb extender. That way you can use it for multiple things.
USB cables
Sorry to revive a dead thread, but there is some unclear info in here that I thought I could clear up:
Micro-USB cables are universal in the sense that they will all fit and to one degree or another charge your phone. The combination of the charger and the cable, however can yield wildly different charge rates. If you want fast charging:
1. Look at the small print on your wall charger and see what current level it will output. You're looking for something 1 amp or higher. Some chargers will say something like 500ma, which is 500 milliamps or half an amp, and that's slower.
2. Consider buying a special "charging" cable. These cables use the USB power that would normally be used for data to charge the battery faster, and thus they won't work as data cables when plugged into your computer. Here's an example of a charging cable from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-U...1367955673&sr=8-2&keywords=usb+charging+cable
Basically what you want to look for on your One V is in the power settings for the phone it should say "Charging (AC)" when you plug it in and *not* "Charging (USB)". With the AC setting you know you're getting as much charging power as you can get.
I use my old Blackberry charge/USB cable with my One V without issue.

Yeah, I don't even use my HTC cable anymore. I originally stopped using it because I dropped my phone while it was plugged into it and it bent the connector. However, I HATED how short it was!! Then, I noticed that my Blackberry cable had the same end on it, and I've been using that for USB tethering, and I use my Samsung bluetooth earpiece charger to just charge my One V. lol
Oh, and I use the HTC USB to wall socket adapter to plug in my ecig. XD

Hi!
I bought my GNII a week ago and phone is awesome!
The only problem is it takes soooooooooo long to charge. I didn't assume that something was wrong yet since it is new. After charging for the third time and it's still slow, I searched for answers but came back empty. So I'm here hoping somebody could help at least so that I could do everything on my end before contacting my provider.
Here are some information:
1. Charger that I am using is the stock charger that came along with the phone. USB cable and Original Charger.
2. Phone is not rooted.
3. When I plug it using the wall charger (USB cable + Original Charger) it is being detected as USB instead of AC.
Hope somebody could help.
Thanks!

will it charge like AC after flashing? Rooting it would be my last option since I just discovered it could charge as AC without rooting. The only problem is why it charges as USB on wall charger but AC on a UPS.

That kernel will charge at 900mA by default over a normal usb connection.
I flashed it rather that the sock kernel just for that reason, plus for me it gives improved battery life etc over the stock kernel. You can overclock also but I have no desire to do that with the Note 2 as its pleanty fast enough already.
Does anyone know off a kernel that actually has usb fast charging enabled in it ?
