I have been able to use any number of aftermarket cables on my phone with no problem, but I still like the look of the stock HTC cable set the best

I have gotten several HTC cables off of eBay.
Sent from me

You can buy 10 cables at monoprice for what HTC charges for 1 and they will work just the same.

I just went to best buy and picked up a Blackberry cable. Lasted longer than all of the rest so far. Its rather thick too. And reinforced around the connector, where the HTC cable failed and frayed.

I too have gotten one off of ebay, but HTCPedia has them as well and they're pretty cheap. I bought an external charger and a spare battery and it's working out better than the charging the battery in the phone ever did...

Try verizon they may be cheaper then sprint. Or radio shack or best buy.

You lost both the cable and the charger? If it's just the charger and not the cable, any USB-wall charger would do (ie a Blackberry one).

I just ordered my TB, I want to know what accessories I should buy to make it the best phone on the market.
charger...
other than that...i dont use anything they gave me. not the car charger, car mount, screen protectors, and now not even the double case..
i recommend a tpu material case (jelly-like yet somewhat hard plastic material, NOT silicone which attracts lint and sticks to things) for $10 or less from amazon/ebay and a cheap screen protector from the same sources.

HTC Extended Battery
If anyone hunting around ebay sees the good stuff if you could throw up some links? I just bought 3 1500mAh batteries for 12.00 including shipping, so even if they dont work Ill have some nice paperweights. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200593732607&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Has anyone got anything from that company or have any dealing with close batteries

Agreed 100%. They should've sold it with the extended battery already on it for $299.99 in my opinion, but I'm sure that would have made some people think twice about buying it to begin with.
I always break my car chargers too, so I bought a little car usb charger and plug into that, havent had a problem since and I can charge anything now.

Yeah I have a little USB car charger that lets me use my own USB cable. Great since I can swap between my Micro-B cable (for the TB) and another cable such as say the Zune cable.

I recently bought a nice retractable one from my local Office Max. Liking it a lot! Charges just as fast as the original cable and works for data as well.

I think Google just started accessories for the Nexus 4, like a USB cable, maybe that one will be solid.

I don't know where to buy a charger!

Hi all,
I need to buy a charger for my SGS3. I need either a genuine Samsung one, or a safe and compatible micro-usb charger with an extended cable. I don't want to get one on ebay because I don't trust the listings, and Amazon's listings have negative reviews where users talking about their chargers have exploded and flown across the room.
I'm UK based so I don't want to order from other countries due to shipping times/costs.
Helpful inputs will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Any charger is compatible heck i even use the apple ipad plug and a OEM Htc cable and it works fine
the phone itself regulates all the charging not the charger itself..
but make sure you buy a Hi quality micro USB cable or else you could short your phone
Thanks for the reply, but where should I buy the product from?

Amazon is one of the best places and by sorting them by highest rated and with the most reviews makes it easy. Or if you want to keep it easy, buy the Galaxy S4 charger (2.1 A instead of 1.0 A!) off Samsung.com and if you register your device, they give you a 50% of promo code for mobile accessories which makes it about $20.

For the price, it wouldn't hurt to buy one but another thing to look out for is number of reviews, which can say a lot of the quality and utility!

Another good option is to check hotels in your area. People leave behind their phone chargers ALL THE TIME: they're not worth driving back for, and often people won't even bother to have them mailed to them. As a result, pretty much every hotel desk has a box of chargers that they hold on to for people who forgot to bring theirs. If you ask nicely, they might let you pick through it and take one. These are often the brandname chargers that came with the phones.
I noticed that the ones with a lot of reviews seem to be the most untrustworthy, I saw a listing with one that had 60 5 star reviews, but it also had 50 1 star reviews that talked about how the charger has literally blown up and flown across the room or stopped working on its second charge. As for local hotels... There aren't any near where I live

Can't you just go to some big retail surface around your area and get one from there? Any charger with a microusb will work. The only thing i'd look out for is the 1A charging current (like the original) so the phone finishes charging in in about 2h. Just avoid the real obvious crap ones from shady brands and you should be fine. You can just trade it in if it doesn't work properly. I got a bundle from energizer for a bit less than 20€ (around £17). Had a wallsocket charger with 2 usb sockets (1A), a car charger one (with 1A and 2 usbs too), a rather long cord and several ends to plug just about every device i could think of. Obviously microusb included.
What about the same as the one provided in the original box? It should be safe I think.

Its nice to be nexus branded but still pricey in my opinion. I bought a 2 pack OEM brand new Blackberry playbook 1.8a wall chargers for 4.99 on ebay a while ago. It was an amazing deal and the chargers work great and charge my phone a bit faster.
Just found out they have the daily deal again on ebay for 4.99! Great deal and alternative to the nexus one's if anyone is interested

I bought 6 of these a while back and it's one of the best purchases I've made for my phone. That micro USB is pretty much universal already so it is kind of future proof. I usually get a few chargers at once because they break but I'm still on my same one since December.

Yes
I was going to buy this charger, but i ended up buying the Nexus Wireless Charger because, afaik, it comes with exactly the same micro-usb Nexus charger + cable....
Is like 15€ for the microUSB charger and 25€ more for the wireless charging square......
I know that 15€ for this charger is a lot of money if you compare it with other chargers......but compared to Apple's officials accessories (charger in this case) imo is cheap and it's also standard (micro usb).
However...I admit, it's more fanaticism (to Nexus brand) than anything else.
Thanks for the heads up, just bought a spare as well as a wireless charger - it's about time!
Interesting. If anyone has any feedback, I'm eager to listen to what you have to say.
