Where can I get all the Original accessories.
I bought the phone from someone on eBay and it came with no accessories.
I have had several problems with other USB cables.
I would like to buy the original Motorola wall charger, usb cable and hdmi cable.
Hopefully for cheap.
maybe if you ask motorola nicely they'll send you some new parts?
You think they would send them for free?
What would I have to say?

I've not had any problems with any of the micro-usb cables I've used. I've seen the hdmi cables at microcenter fairly cheap. Pretty much any usb wall charger will work, this isn't an iPad.
Amazon.

anyone recommend one of these?
also need a couple protective cases, what's good?
the one listed for the Aria should be fine. you just need one with a micro USB connector. I have a power outlet to USB port adaptor in my car, and just use a normal USB cable for charging. saves me the hassle of buying a new charger each time i get a new phone.
i haven't felt the need for a case yet, so no recomendations from me there.
I can't find it on the website, but Walmart has a DC car charger with just two female USB ports, which is awesome, would actually let you charge two USB devices at the same time using the original charge cable. (Also, since HTC is awesome enough to use normal mini-USB ports, a replacement cable is like $10, not $29 as with iPhone). Anyone have one of these that can confirm it works with the Aria?
Like others said, you don't need a car charger specifically for the Aria. Just look for the cheapest micro (not mini) usb charger you can find. I picked one up from my local Fry's for $4.
I have two Honda CRV's and both come equipped with USB port.
Does that mean that any 'ol generic miniport connector will work as "a charger" ?
If anyone comes up with a suggestion for "cradling" inside car, please post
Thanks for the replies.
does this page list the device that is recommended ? the 3.99 item?
maybe these
or also on dealextreme.com
i just bought one off of amazon for a penny.

Any microUSB cable should work, that is the beauty of companies that stuck with connector standards.
a great place for cables is monoprice.com. really cheap price for great quality stuff. I grabbed 4 microUSB cables, an HDMI, and some component cables from there for less than $10.
I bought a used Motorola xoom and it only came with the charger cable. It doesn't have a usb or hdmi cable so I need to buy these.
Any recommendation on where to get these? Can I buy generic cables or do I have to buy the overpriced motorola approved cables?
www.monoprice.com
I think you should go back to the store you bought it from and ask for the USB cable because every box contains --> Xoom, Micro-USB data cable, Power Cable, manuals and random papers.
To answer more completely, first of all, you should definately have gotten a USB cable, no hdmi. Ebay for the hdmi, and demand your store deals with the usb, so you get the original one.
Finally, Motorola isn't apple, you can use any cable that fits.
Macbots drool as I XOOM through the Galaxy to my hearts Desire.
Come to think of it I don't think I got a cable either...I need to go back and open the box back up - I know the charger is still in it (I used the dock since day one)

How have you not used the charger? My charging dock needs the charger out of the xoom box, which dock are you referring to?

My standard dock came with a charger, but to answer the OP any USB to micro USB cable will work and same with the HDMI. Monoprice.com is really good for low cost but still good quality cables.

Standard dock is the charging one? I would have loved a second charge but my charging dock was just the little dock and a last ic adapter for use with a case.

Aww thanks. Actually I bought my xoom off ebay. Only 600$ for the 3g version but it was like 1 month used still in perfect condition. It only came with a charger though.

Yeah, standard dock came with a charger identical to the one in the box with the xoom. Plugs into the back of the dock it self. Never had a need for the other.

I bought a hdmi cable from Amazon.com but after about 4 months it cause my phone to reboot every time I plugged it in. If anyone knows of a great and well lasting one could you post a link to it, thanks.
I doubt the cable is the problem. It's just... a cable. Something's probably up with the mirroring app/kernel that's causing the phone to reboot when enabling the HDMI output.
It's was working for about 4 months then it started making my phone restart. I also tried it on another EVO and got the same results

I bought mine from Monoprice and it works really well. Kinda had to wiggle it a little at first but now it works flawlessly with hdmiwin.
There is definitely some cheap stuff on Amazon. I just bought an HTC wall charger and Samsung 16GB MicroSD Class 10 and I'm pretty sure both are counterfeit products. But, they were cheap and work so far.
I bought a MediaBridge Category 2 HDMI cable for my PS3 from Amazon and haven't had any issues. They have a mini cable on Amazon for $7.99. I can't post links yet , but this is the title "Mediabridge - High Speed Mini-HDMI to HDMI Cable - Category 2 Certified - 10ft."

The answer to any cable question is Monoprice.
More specifically for this question, go here - http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10253
I also bought a cheap cable from amazon, but never had the problem you are mentioning, http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Male-Cab...=sr_1_11?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1325266208&sr=8-11 if that helps
Yeah don't waste your time on anything more than just generic hdmi cables. They all perform the same.

i had purchased a cheap one from merritt line and it lasted only a few months as well. other cables worked fine but not that one.
I get all my cables from MONOPRICE...they have the best prices/quality. IMHO
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.

I bought few of these, works perfect.

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.

That's where I get my cables from. Never had a bad experience from there.

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

I seem to be having issues with chargers for my phone.... What works for you guys???
I'm using a PowerGen 3AMP Charger & Motorola MicroUSB Cable... Nothing else seems to charge fast enough, and I have a bag full of 20 broken MicroUSB cables... I panic and think my MicroUSB Port on my phone is broken each time, but if I buy a new cable, things are fine. The Motorola MicroUSB cables are the most durable it seems...
What USB Power Brick & What USB Cable Combo are you guys using?

Stock whatever came in the box when I got the s3. Wouldn't want to mess with any other chargers not made for my phone it could result in my battery exploding. Read somewhere using different charger can cause that.
Im in the middle of looking for a good combination. My 2yr old broke the USB cable so I've been looking for one that does the job. So far they suck.
Any inexpensive suggestion would be nice.

I'm using my Kindle charger and some random 1Amp charger I bought for like $1.60 on eBay. Nothing's exploded yet. I dunno about fast charging, I just charge mine at the end of the day and have no hurry (thus, sometimes I use the Kindle charger if I'm lazy).

I use the charger from my galaxy tab 10.1. Works great. No problems. Charges me up about twice as fast as the phone's charger will.
I bought this from ebay, and it works well - charges pretty fast. 100% in less than 2 hours I'd say.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/170848013630?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I have bought an HTC charger before thinking it would be the same, but it's not. It charges really slow.
In short, stick w/ the Samsung charger.

Look for a charger that's rated at least 1A (1000mA) and is not from a generic manufacturer. Read: Samsung, Apple, Motorola, HTC, HP, Amazon. I personally do not like others. Watch out for fakes, esp if you buy an Apple charger.
Buy a 28/24awg or thicker micro USB cable. Monoprice (can be found on Amazon) has some and I believe Medialink cables are 24/20awg, which is even better. Remember at least 24awg on the voltage carrying lines, a lower number is better.

The problem with the cables is that they rarely specify the thickness of the cable. You pretty much have to eyeball it from the pictures.
But Great advice. Gonna keep that in mind on my next purchase
