Mini USB to Micro USB Adapter

Does anyone know where I can buy a mini USB to Micro USB adapter for my car charger? I don't want to have to buy another car charger.

i bought a few of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002N8JJ04/ref=oss_product
they're pretty great
i chose them over a smaller rigid converter, because these are less likely to break your usb connectors

Check Monoprice.com

I went looking for low-cost adapters while waiting for my phone to ship, and there just didn't seem to be any that were cost-effective.
I wound up buying a brand new car charger for $6 on amazon and a handful of new USB to micro USB cables for less than $2 each on monoprice.
I can't see the economy in spending $5 to make my $4 mini-usb charger compatible with my phone, when a new charger is just $5 anyway. I really hope that monoprice starts selling some ridiculously cheap adapters in the near future.

Thank you very much!
Exactly what I was looking for. Now I need to come up with $25 worth of stuff to get the free shipping.

you can also get them at radio shack or bestbuy.. except at best by you have to buy it with a short cable as well cause that the only way they sell it, at radio shack you can by it by itself

I called Radio Shack, $12.95, ouch and no thank you. I can buy a whole charger for that price at WalMart.
Petronic's point is well taken. Gonna follow the same route too.
Thank you for all of the replies!

These deal seem to be to good to be true. Anyone order from them before?

dealextreme.com is real popular in the GPS hacking world. I have never had any issues. Google them and I think you will find they are well used and received.

Dealextreme got some great price. But shipping take about a few week because of international shipping from china. And customer service is bad. I purchase many thing there. For the price you will pay for a item there is a you how you say, "you get what you pay". Ebay us buyer is the best choice for faster shipping and little pricer item for HTC Evo.

I got a few and they are great. Saved me from tossing out my old cables.

i assume that converting the mini usb to micro usb adapters will work with all the tilt 2 chargers i have. i have a car charger and 3 wall chargers and it would be nice if all i need to to buy a handful of these adapters instead of buying all new chargers...never can enough chargers i say.

I picked a couple adapters. I wanted to use one on a charger and one on a data cable. But when I plug them in, the phone thinks it has been docked and I can't use it as a data cable. Will the one linked above work on a data cable?

http://www.meritline.com/mini-usb-micro-adapter---p-47016.aspx $2.09 shipped.

dealextreme.com is legit. I ordered from there two times.
If you want to have some real fun order there cell phone signal blocker. It works awesome! There is nothing more fun that being in a car with someone talking on their cell phone and a second later they are having their call dropped. F'n hillarious!

Hdmi cord for evo

I found out that the Sprint store has the hdmi cord for the video out feature on the evo!!
sent from my HTC evo

Lots of places online sell them for a lot cheaper than Sprint. I know ebay has them for very cheap. I bought a 10 foot HDMI-microHDMI cable on ebay for less than $15....

Was there a time they didn't have it? It's an accessory for their phone, it's always been there.

It wasn't available for like..a month.

Monoprice has the best prices on them.

Sprint price for their relabeled Chinese crap: $500
MONSTER Cable: $250
Sprint cable, from eBay and without the Sprint/HTC label: $15
Better cable from eBay: $10
Have fun wasting your money.
(In case you can't tell, yes, this is an exageration, but the point remains the same.)

I think this is the right cable from monorpice:

i had the same problem with my monoprice cable. Went to their site and did an rma, they send me a new one for free and told me to keep the old one. the new one works much better. With a connector that small, if its off my a few micrometers it could make it loose.

Thanks... i just submitted an RMA. I tried the cable on another EVO and had the same issue, so I'm pretty sure it's the cable...

Micro USB cables - overpriced and cheaply made

My first micro USB cable broke the other day when my phone fell off my bed... it bent the metal plug (lol) and broke the cable.
I bought a replacement cable from best buy. 20$ down the drain. A month later the cheapo cable was not charging, and I had to force the cable through yoga positions to get get it to charge.
And like me, the cable was not supposed to do yoga every night and it ceased to work.
Best buy had failed me. (Surprise surprise)
So I went on amazon and ordered a 6 dollar cable. Woo! Cheap!
....
2 days later (Amazon prime )
Cable arrives.
HOLY CRAP
It is a gold plated cable, and feels to be about the most durable USB cable I think I've ever seen.
I've been using the cable for the past month or so and its awesome. The connection is great, (no wiggle. Hehe) and the cable is just durable.
So to all of you with micro USB cable woes... go to Amazon and buy that 6$ cable (so lazy I can't even link... smh) it will ruin all other cable experiences for you.

I totally agree with you! I went to radio shack looking for just the USB cable as I dont need the plug that you connect it to bc mine is fine..They wanted 20-30 bux for just the cord!!! Im like no way...I went to amazon & read sum reviews some neg sum positive but the one that came in works great for me so far (knocks on wood)! Here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004T0GHOU/ref=oh_o04_s00_i00_details
Also got this micro SD reader: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012Y02CE/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details When I plug it in it says its a sandisk...working fine so far so much easier than having to use my phone to transfer files!

I'm going to have to also support Monoprice. My only advice is that you should probably use Paypal if possible. They had a data breach a year or so ago where some user data was compromised.

wow guys, never, and I mean never buy cables from Bestbuy or any other retail store. Always buy online, and if you spent over 5 bucks for cords, you overspent on cords! a great website to find deals on any cords is slickdeals.net (there's a saying at those forums that if you spend more than 5 bucks on HDMI cable's, you are either ignorant or a moron that likes to waste money.)
P.S. - HDMI is digital so its either you have a connection or you don't, gold plated **** is still ****. Don't waste your money on things that doesn't even effect picture quality. Sorry for going out of topic, just want you guys to save some money.

AMEN!

monoprice rules
i'l like to add my support for monoprice as well, there's no reason to buy any sort of cable from anywhere but there unless you're getting it for free... 9 times out of 10 when i buy something from there i usually end up getting 2 or 3 plus some other stuff since everything its so cheap. Quality is never an issue, in fact my monoprice hdmi cables have outlasted other store bought (Expensive!) hdmi's.... i dont understand how the people who work at monster cable, etc can sleep at night knowing they's built an entire business based on lying to, misleading, and ripping people off who don't know much about tech....

I live by monoprice haha

I bought some from amazon for 49 cents i bought like 5 of them. I've had them for over 5 months and still working great. I have them all over the house lol

+10 for Monoprice....I have an Amazon prime account and I still go to monoprice first for the quality of their cables. Their search and site layout is nice too, they are like Radio Shack on steroids (the good king of steroids)

Yes best place ever to buy any wire. Don't let people in best buy or any other retail store try to sell you the same exact wire for $20. They convinced a friend of mine into buying one of those $50 monster hdmi cables, and I was like bro you just got robbed. I took one of my hdmi cables that I purchased from monoprice and hooked it up to his tv and asked him if he could see a difference. He ended up taking that cable back.

monoprice is the ****. i got a 50' hdmi cable on sale for like 10 bucks, along with a 1/8th to rca audio for my stereo system, for dirt cheap. i think it was like 5 bucks. the left channel died a year after i bought it so i emailed them and they mailed me another no questions asked. i have a micro hdmi to hdmi for my phone and it works great got that for a few bucks most likely.. their stuff is so cheap. my friend does audio work for theaters and concert venues and he uses monoprice for everything. they're a solid company with a really good rep.

I go to comcast for HDMI cables. They don't have anything long but if you have hd service from them (and probably if you don't) you can walk in and tell them that your hdmi cable dies and they'll hand you a new one. Between that and moving a few times in the last couple of years, I have 6 comcast hdmi cables still in the baggies they come in ready to go

I just bought a cheap male / female USB extender cable for less than $2. Yeah, it's a bit kludgey but you can get whatever length you want, more or less and they're sold everywhere online for ridiculously cheap prices.
I'm really disappointed there aren't more 3rd party versions of the Tab's USB cable though. God forbid they use something like PDMI.

The Juiced systems cable.
I own one of the Juiced Systems extra long cables and can vouch that the cable charges at about the same speed as the stock cable. Make sure you buy from the Stoned Organics Seller. The other people that are selling cables, i have no idea what kind of crap they may be selling. Good luck.

Micro USB replacement cable

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good replacement micro USB cables. Mine has started to act funky and only charges correctly at a certain angle.
I know there are several cheap cables out there on Amazon and eBay but I was looking for something reliable such that if I flash through Odin or some type of future Bootloaders I do not wanna risk bricking my phone because of a bad cable.
Can anyone suggest or link me to official and not knockoff Samsung cables or some other alternative that works well. If not can on suggest a reliable Brand that I can search for.
Thanks.

Belkin make very good cables indeed. I have several; give them a shot. They're not overpriced, either.

I would stay away from the cheap ebay ones (as you said) - they don't seem to work correctly, never seem to charge/connect to my S3 properly.

my favorite cable and charger is the Amazon Kindle charger and cable. Especially the cable. I have a few of them and buy more as funds allow.

I've bought about 5 of these and they work perfect. They are very similar to the stock one from the S2. Shipping is free and was pretty fast.

I hate that Samsung Galaxy S cable. It comes off way too easy.
My favorite one is Logitech cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Lo...556?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item336a98f674 . I have few because they come with the devices. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with HTC OEM cable. Only $1 on ebay and it works great.

This is the type of cables that I use. I bought 8 of them last year, and I have put them in my car, my wifes car, my daughters car (with cheap USB chargers of course). I put chargers on a couple of my motorcycles using them. I have a pair of bluetooth intercoms for my helmets that need micro-USB chargers for them both. I had to buy another bag of 8. I've given a couple of them away. So I have about a dozen charge connections, and only about $25.
There is no reason to pay more the $2 each for these cables. The USB works on them. They charge over USB. They charge at the high charge rate. They work correctly and they are reliable. And if one of them DOES ever fail, I won't feel bad.

Stay away from the 89c cables from Hong Kong, they are horrible quality and don't conform to USB wiring standards. I had a bad experience the other day when I tried to plug the emergency cable I keep in my bag into my S3, wouldn't go in, I thought I'd somehow bent the charging port on my S3 but really it was just the ****ty cable.

Both ports connect perfectly to cell phone and computer. - The length of the cable is the right size (90 cm), not too long and not too short. - I have been using it for some weeks and it works fine for both transferring data and recharging my phone.http://dx.com/p/usb-charging-data-cable-for-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-90cm-length-59092

Although monoprice are quality the cable's micro usb side(metal part) isn't as long as the Samsung cable and they don't tend to stay in as well. But it's not that bad but noticeable. I love monoprice besides shipping costs
