Now I'm home, it's much easier to post links
Can't believe nobody has posted about buying this.
Whoa that's cheap! Thanks!
EDIT: Apparently the cost of shipping the to my place costs more than the charger itself. :/
Not exactly economical.
Make sure you check to buy it from Yellowdeals. Look on the right under more buying choices. I believe that is what the OP is pointing too. Thanks for posting the deal.

Last night I went to YellowDeals' merchant page. They have tons of OEM products and free shipping for all of em.
Also I got a different price on my pc. Is Amazon still doing the different prices for different people crap they in trouble for a couple yrs ago? On pc, it was 3.18. Not much difference, but still.
Ordered a few to have as back up. Can't best that price. Thanks

I recently lost mine. I have other chargers around the house but another "Samsung" one would be nice. And you can't beat that price. Thanks for the heads up.
Bought two, thanks for the heads up.
I just got 4! need one for each computer XD
I got mine from Seller1ON1. Charger+cable+car charger, all for 9.44 with free shipping. All are samsung branded, chargers look 'slightly used' with scratches. But they are pretty legit Samsung ones.
Anybody find one on the Canadian amazon list? I could use another one for myself.
thank you for this. just picked one up.
Hey, I need a USB JIG after I bricked my phone. It really needs to be on Amazon because I have a gift card there. Will someone please sell one to me for around $5 in US?
Thanks!
They are like $7 shipped.
That's fine, I have $10, so that sounds good...
Try this.. It might work for ya

It might be too late to post this for you, but you can actually make your own jig quite easily. Follow this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0aoabVtPJ8
I actually made one myself, and I have used it ever since. Although it is not going to be as good as the pre-made jig, but hey if you need it to unbrick your phone right away, you can just buy the resistors at RadioShack or any hardware shops near you
Thanks Xx-Ness-xX , great and as i've been looking for
I see that the answer to a lot of problems is "get a new cable". If you want a good USB cable for your Epic 4G and don't want to pay the outrageous prices at Radio Shack or Best Buy, etc., then get your cable at http://monoprice.com. We're talking under $2 for gold-plated micro USB cables. I bought a handful and they've worked perfectly for me.
No, this is not spam, and I have no connection whatsoever to monoprice.com. Just a happy customer.

It's just an addendum to a common answer. Lots of questions are answered with, "Get a better cable." This is a way to get a better cable without getting ripped off for $20-$30.
If it belongs somewhere else, like accessories, a moderator can feel free to move it.
And there is already a thread, "Monoprice or nothing, " in that section.

I found it easier to just pick up some Blackberry OEM cables on eBay...
I know everyone hates the stock cable and I expect mine to fail me, but so far I have used nothing but the stock cable and have had no problems! Like I said I have read all the post about get a new cable and when it does not work right I will know why!
I did buy my phone later so maybe they changed something but it is a thin p o s samsung cable!
I have tolerated the charge cable coming out of my phone since day 1 with my Note2. I call to ask for a new cable and I am told to send my cable and charger to Samsung. After their technicians evaluate for defects, a new charger and cable will be sent out. So, what you're telling me is that I won't be able to use my $700 phone and $100/month service or communicate with friends and family until you figure out what you did wrong and send the replacement???---> Supervisor (same Filipino voice) directs me to Section 13, page 383 of the owner's manual. No cc option to send beforehand and charge in case I don't return the defect. So sorry for your inconvenience. You know that ain't right.
I think this is how it always worked as far as warranty goes. So, what do you think they should have done?

My experience with T-Mobile/HTC/Asurion/Motorola has been simply send a replacement or send and if we do not receive a replacement we will Bill your cc.
my usb cables always go bad. i just go buy a replacement and be done with it. its not worth any delay or warranty replacement when they cost less than $20 at any store.

You can't spend $15 on a charger to use your $700 phone and $100/month service and communicate with friends and family? Do you really need someone to tell you that it is OK to go buy your own damned charger instead of crying about how the world is screwing you? How much coddling do you require before you take matters into your own hands and solve a problem like an adult?
Sorry if I seem crass, but seriously, did the thought never cross your mind to just get another charger? And, why do you feel the need to point out the perceived race of the technicians at Samsung? Would it matter if the voice was Filipino or Indian or White? Do you think that has anything to do with your charger or the validity of your concerns?
If it were me I would just use one of the chargers from the other five phones I own.

...how is this a warranty fail? Seems they are doing what they stated they would do. And surely you have to have another micro usb laying around until you get the replacement.
You have a $700 smartphone and $100/month service and can't afford a new $20 charger?...serio I seriously?

They want the ac adapter too. But to answer your question and shut down all the negative rich people in here, I do have a backup charger. In fact I have 3-4 ac adapters and probably 3 cables from my HD2 and S2, in addition to the white on white pair that came with my white Note2. They have different varying mah output and are not Samsung oem(voids warranty, for those that gave that solution...I gave the S2 to the wife(who leaves her charger at work, often)...I take a charger to college and leave one at home. Charging or paying for a charger is not the issue, or the point. The point is service. You have lower expectations and bigger pockets than someone of the people that visit this thread. What you eat won't make me run to the restroom. My expectations are higher, in that: I expect a company to fix something that is defective, I expect them to offer more than one possible solution as experience has shown with other companies within the industry(T-Mobile,Motorola,HTC,Asurion), I expect them to be accomodating to continue to earn my business. People get on like I asked for a new Galaxy Note2. Pay this thread no mind then. This thread is for like-minded individuals with expectations and little disposable income. This thread is for people who like options, consistency, and quality workmanship from suppliers. I was trying to bring awareness and generate constructive conversation.

I'm sensitive to your question about the voice. My point was that I did not think that I was genuinely transferred to a supervisor and the voices were distictively alike. In addition, I was implying that the place handling my concern was not Korean, or American. The Samsung Return Center for the United States is about 15 minutes MAX from where I live. I grew up less than 10 blocks from there. The service I was being provided by phone was too far removed from Samsung Korea or the Samsung Return Center America. The rep told me she was in the middle of the Pacific.

Obvious troll fail, where do I get two minutes of my life back?
I think that this post is valid for the simple fact that I have had the same problems with my OEM cable coming out of the phone so easily and sometimes it won't even charge the Damn thing. It's ashame when my old HTC cable fits better in my Note 2 than the cable that came with it! I don't have a problem using a different came to charge, but I do flash Roms using Odin, and I have found that Odin only works with the OEM cable! So there is obviously a difference in these usb cables. It is a problem, especially for me. If just for flashing alone. I have my Htc cable in right now and it fits perfectly. No falling out. I think we should stop throwing insults and really see that there is a problem. I am completely happy with having the best phone ever created, but it's a nagging thorn in my side when the freaking cable it came with sucks.
I think Samsung should send all registered owners of Note II a free replacement USB cable. The stock cable sucks big time.

Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I myself had issues with the cable/adapter so I sent both of them in with return label they provided me with, in the mean time I used my old 1A charger. The whole return and shipping back the replacement took less than a week, didn't even experience any inconvenience. When they say "technicians has to evaluate the defect", it doesn't mean they will hold on to your defective item and can't ship the replacement till they figure it out. They will ship the replacement as soon as they receive the defect.
Yes, I do think they should send the replacement first and have CC option, but this is their warranty policy and you complaining here posting "Samsung Warranty Fail" won't change anything or get you a new cable/adapter anytime soon....
This gave me a good laugh thank you. We all have the same cable. It works great when u not using the phone. Meaning just plug it in and walk away from it. If u wanna use it while u charge it u need a better cable to lock in to the micro usb port. It has nothing to do with getting the charger replaced. They not gonna do it. If by some chance u do get it replaced it will be by the same junk u been using.

I have a hard bricked Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710). My fault, fortunately it was the spare phone after a recent upgrade.
So I could send it to Texas or find a local person about an hour away with a Riff box and try that.
BUT I am thinking about getting a Riff Box myself and documenting the experience.
That way if I hard brick... again I can fix without sending to someone else to do JTAG and I can post it also.
Here comes the question. From what I read, I will either have to solder or jury rig or buy a 'JIG' to connect the cable
to a chip on the motherboard. Does anyone know for sure which 'Jig" would go to the 'SPRINT' version of the S3?
I also read posts saying the 'Polish' jigs are better...
But again which jig will work with the sprint U.S.A. version of S3?
(sorry can not post URL examples do to new to forums)
If no one on the forums has done this for the sprint S3 then this may be something that should be done and posted for others to read.
Jtag no longer necessary.
All you need is an SD card. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43724690 This is proven to work, pioneered here for Sprint S3 and has worked on T-Mobile and Verizon as well.

tried the SD did not work with this brick.
I appreciate the cross reference, I did search forums before posting and I already tried the SD card, used a level 10 16gig, maybe I should have tried a 32gig card... but I did try that. I do know unix and I prefer openbsd for gateways, and freebsd for servers over linux.
BTW I did get a reply from the company FONEFUNSHOP LTD in UK, concerning the "Samsung i747 / i747M / T999 / T999v (aka. Galaxy S3) JTAG Jig (+ 1 X 12 Pin Molex Port) " and the response was:
--not sure as we dont see that model over here in the UK, i doubt it, so i will say no.
So -bump- if no one knows, I could try posting with the riff box support forum as a presales question... They do list the SPH-L710 as a supported phone... but what jig?

Fingers crossed... Just ordered a Riff Box from ipmart... l paid for UPS shipping with insurance from ipmart and used paypal to give me some protection but it was less than $150, which is a good price if I get it. I did use a vendor listed on the riffbox.org site so I should be supported according to their site.
I never did get a good answer on what jig. To try something I ordered the multi-com jig off an ebay seller in California for a JTAG Samsung I747/I747M/T999/T999V (Galaxy S3) but I have no assurance that will work on a SPH-L710 because the seller did not know either.

I ordered the RIFF box on a Friday and got it the following Thursday. Faster than I was ready to use... So IPmart is okay!
I ebay ordered the jig for the T999 mentioned afore and bad news... while it looks like the correct connector on the jig... the way the jig is built it will not fit the phone it appears. The cable pins are in the way, if the cable pins had been on the other side maybe.
As to your question. The software with the riff box has a "clues" section as part of the resurrection that gets downloaded... and it explains exactly where to solder along with a photograph of motherboard and pin numbers. The clues section is must read and may also include tricks. Since you need the riffbox and the software to do this I will not repeat the information here in respect to the manufacturer.
I may give up on trying to find jig and just solder.

This may be the way to go to avoid soldering, but I don't really want to put out another $70 and wait another couple weeks for another thing from China. Google "JPIN JTAG Molex Flex cable for Samsung LG without soldering support Riff Box"
after looking at my HUGE tip on my soldering iron... I am going to order it.
I just put the jig I could not use up on ebay. Someone will benefit.
