Hello everyone,
Is it okay to use my Tilt 2 wall charger for my Ipod Touch 3G? I tried it out this morning and seemed to work fine, but I need to make sure that the Input voltage and amps for the Touch3G is okay with the Output of 5V--1A of my Tilt2 wall charger. If anyone knows the battery specs of their Ipod Touch3G, please tell! I tried searching for it but I guess I didn't search hard enough. Or, if anyone has had experience with this. Thanks in advance everyone!
Regards,
K
I always charge my iPod Touch 2G using HTC chargers. No ill effects...
Good to hear
Tyvm.

Hm, I dont think you understood the question. The Tilt2 wall charger has a specific output Voltage and Current. The Touch3G has a specific input on its battery. The input has to be okay with what the Tilt2 charger outputs or else it can result in unnecessary loss of battery life. I've tried it, worked fine, my problem was that I could not find the specs on the Touch3G battery online. I was wondering if anybody had any experience with it, but the question was answered. Thank you.

All in all, its to save money on buying a stupid wall charger adapter from apple if the tilt2 adpater suffices since you can plug in USB in it.
If you have a look at the second picture of the Apple USB Power Adapter (UK) it looks like it says it has a voltage out of 5v Dc at 1A

Oh man, thank you so much for that one. Best help yet!

Ok just in case anybody cares, got one of these on order from Overstock. Decent deal I'd say, 6.72 including shipping.

There's nothing to correct. The evo uses a micro (type d) connector. The cable on overstock is a mini (type c).

If you already bought a mini cable, why not get a mini-to-micro adapter?
Nevermind...that was a usb adapter. Why can't I delete my own posts? wtf.
Add the w w w .monoprice.com/products/search.asp?keyword=6973[/url] $4 and change. In stock now
I have a brand new New Trent Battery charger, but when I hook it up I get the trickle charge only which stinks. I was told there is an adapter out there that will make the Tab forget that your hooking up a USB cable, but I cant find the adapter. Will a Samsung USB connection kit work?http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B005518J6Q/optimapagecom-20/
If not, can someone post up a link of what I need to get the battery pack to charge the tab. Thanks.

I did already bought one and it didnt work. Can someone post a link?
here's the link buddy..i purchased this and it works.

however i also purchased this and i like this one better the the first one
http://goo.gl/VJDYK
I personally think 2nd give u more value for ur money. you would have to carry only one cable then 2.
Ordered it. Thanks for the link! Mod can close this thread now.
I ordered the first item a month ago. Finally arrived, and they sent the second item. I'm not complaining. Much better item.

I guess this will to the trick as well?

Hate to resurrect an old thread but wondering if that cable from dealexterme helped fix the issue. I have a new trent external battery and its charging the Tab SLOWLY.
so how is the reliability of dealextereme, never heard of it or ordered from it.
thanks.
I purchased 2 of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OSURT2/ref=oh_o05_s00_i00_details
and NEITHER one worked with my Gnex!! It wouldn't sync, charge or anything.
Is there ANY way to get a STOCK USB for the Gnex? (the one that came with the phone, http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SCH-I515MSAVZW-accessories last item on the 2nd page)
Also had problems with other micro USB chargers.....a lot seem to have some sork of short in theme.....lose power when I move the phone around....how hard is it to find a working cable? Anyone with similar issues?
I have various cheap eBay micro usb cables and OEM ones and they all work. Perhaps take a look at your gnex micro USB port? Maybe a piece of dust is in there. Or the contacts are screwed. Its probably more complicated than that, but it doesn't hurt to check. GL
I'm using USB cables I got for very cheap and they all worked so far...can you try the cables with another phone?
Hmm well I can try when I get home. My Droid 2 was the same way! only the stock USB would work and a few aftermarket micro USBs wouldnt work! And you guessed it, my Droid 2 USB worked fine with my GNex :S
I bought 2 of these cables and they work just fine:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001XXUOQI/ref=oh_o05_s00_i00_details
They look like the one that comes with that charger, though. Very odd.
I have always had the best luck with the oem motorola micro usb cables. Well made and never a charging or pc connectivity issue and you can usually find them cheap on Amazon.
I have one cable that plugged into PC or into my AC jack gives me just AC, no data connection.
My other usb cable charges but no AC and gives data.
I bought this charger + cable combo.
They are the same models that come with the phone. They work flawlessly.
The kit was a little cheaper back then, but definitely beats having to order random cables till one of them works.

Ditto! works like a charm.
Most of my micro USB cables work, but this one that came with an LG Optimus One (and worked on my Nexus One, HTC Panache, Nook Color) does not register in my GNex. Not sure why - maybe something about the shape of the port or the depth.

Thats weird cuz a different cable came with mine! looks a lot nicer...
Bought mine from seller Yellow deals using the same links posted in this thread. The charger itself works, but the U4 micro USB cable does not for both charging and data transfer. Bummer.
My dad has an Optimus V and I have a Galaxy Nexus. His cord won't charge my Nexus and my cord won't charge his phone.
I wasn't sure why it was this way.
I've tried all kinds of LG chargers and LG usb cables, and none of them work.

I'm almost sure that you manage to damage your USB port, just like I did. It won't do anything but charge AC only through pc and nothing more, no matter what cable I use.
I'm just waiting for my replacement part arive from Hong Kong. 1,5 month already and no word of it. I guess it take that much time anyway.

That'd be tragic. I dont think thats the case because GNex #1, GNex #2 and Droid 2 all had the same issue (certain cords short out, stock ones do not) So I am leaning towards manufactures quality....Just ordered 2 different cheap ones from ebay....waiting....
Definitively a damaged port. I bought a port from Hong-Kong as well, and it took 6 weeks to ship!!
After replacing it the phone charges with all my cables though.

Bought 2 of these cables from monoprice:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=4868&seq=1&format=2
Tested them with both the OEM charger and the HTC T-Mobile myTouch 3G Car Charger and both give AC power.
Turns out NOT to be the port(or at least i dont think so) I got a cheap $1 one from Ebay and an AWESOME cable from Amazon!! Love it! check it out, looks like a rope xD http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003V42O6K/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
They both work great
Hello guys,
The reason I ask this question is because when I was trying to root my phone I was using a micro usb cable that I bought off of newegg and it only charged my phone.. I had to switch to the usb cable that came with the phone to actually let windows detect my phone.
The cable you bought was most likely a pin-shorted one that enables "fast charging". Any standard USB cable will work with the device. If you want a spare, get a BlackBerry OEM cable. For some reason, they're quite high-quality.
e: My old one's quite worn out. Just bought a new one.

But the weird thing is the cable works for my LG G2X. It doesn't work for my S4.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/6ft-Samsung.../140944620745?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:US:3160
I ordered that cable and it came today... Plugged it in to my phone and it didn't detect it. It only charges.
Any of you other guys have that problem? I'm going to try the blackberry one that k0nane suggested.
I tried a blackberry cable at work and it didn't detect my phone. Went to my car and got my Nexus 7 cable and it worked fine for detecting phone + rooting. My HTC and 5 foot long generic cable has worked fine.
Connect directly to computer if you are currently connecting through a hub?
Yeah I've tried connecting through the back of the computer and it's a no go. Anyone else have any ideas? I just bought the blackberry cable and I hope it works.
I got my BB cable today, and while I can confirm that it works normally, it's a disappointment. Certainly nothing like the cables of old. If you need a cheap one, you're probably still better off with it, but the legend it ain't.

Sweet. Hopefully it'll work for me too. I'll keep you posted.
