Hey. As my G Tab 10.1 making its way the my home from the USA in these days, I want to buy a USB adatper. I looked at Ebay and I found a lot of generic USB adapters, which cost about 5 $ and the Samsung Genuine adapter at about 20 $. Is there realy a different between a genuine one to a generic one?
Only real difference is build quality, they work just the same.
Thanks. I think I will go for the generic one. Is there a chance it will damage my device?
I suppose any thing unofficial has the potential to do some damage, shorting something out etc... But I think you'll be extremely unlucky if that happened, as I'm sure they sell them to 100s if not 1000s people and not only for one type of tablet.
Swyped from my finger, to your face on my Samsung Galaxy Note, using Tapatalk!
I just got a bunch ordered off eBay and they were only 1 amp. Tablets will not charge on 1A without a hack (galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-enable-usb-charging-on-your-computer-and-all-usb-charging-adapters-on-your-galaxy-tab-10-1/) but I suspect you will ruin your battery that way, Samsung disabled it for a reason I would imagine.

use this cable with any usb charger and it would work

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!
I got a real samsung charger for $13 of Amazon 2 weeks ago. Price is up to $15 but I don't have to worry about slow charging or special fixes. I ordered from the HollyCellular guy. Wasn't Prime but got here (shipped from LA to South East) in 2 days.

I'd go bootleg for the usb dongle adapter but not the charger. Read too many complaints about them.

Saw that on amz. It had lousy reviews. The top review said it was flimsy or made the tab feel flimsy.

$30 gets an SD and USB OEM reader. That does not break the bank for most of us. I bought an extra after market power cored, longer than the stock one. Does not charge when hooked up to the PC and yes, I've rooted the USB script to charge when hooked up to the PC. Yet the stock power cored works fine.
Go figure. From now on I'm a OEM purchaser with the exception of brand names like Logitec and others.

Does it charges your tablet if you plug an USB charger ?
Can you connect an USB cable to your PC and use it for file transfer ?

I got one back in December and I have to say, I really like it. At first I was afraid it was not going to work, but once it arrived and I tried it with my sandisk flash drive 8gb and my other 3 flash drives. I was really happy with the outcome and how easy it is to use it.

Greetings all. Just picked up a 10.1 from a local BB. super excited to open it up in a couple of hours.
As far as accessories, can someone verify that the travel charger and the usb cable that came with the 7" galaxy tablet will work with this 10.1" as well?
Any recommended place to get these two from?
cellphoneshop seems to be the place to get some cheap $3-$5 chargers and usb cables.
any other sites?
I refuse to pay the obscene $20 and $35 that samsung is charging for the cables and chargers....
thanks
I believe the 7" tab stuff will work. I'm going to confirm that today after work.

Sigh, If thats the case then by tab is going straight back to best buy in a week
The 7 inch tab stuff works fine on the 10.1. The usb adapter is backorder at samsung and does not appear anywhere else.
I went to my local Best Buy this weekend and saw a space for USB connection kit on the shelf. The sales guy couldn't find it in the internal system or on their website though. The SKU was 2837365 and he said it was an accessory previously discontinued for the 7" tab that is coming back for both. Not sure if anybody else saw this. I think I saw someone else posted they saw the same thing at another website forum too.

Yes it will, one of the features of honeycomb is the ability to do USB hosting. I haven't bought it yet, but I believe the keyboard dock has USB ports. Now I don't have any reports saying that anyone has tried it out yet, but thats what I wouldlook in to

It does NOT have USB ports but does have a pass-through of the 30-min Samsung Connector they "claim" allows you to use the USB -or- HDMI adapters. I have neither to test this but I have the keyboard dock and there is only the 30-min and a headphone jack.

OTG has been around for a while now....
Here's me rocking it on my S2.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCrecOR34Fs&feature=g-upl
I know Samsung made the 11 pin micro USB to use MHL and OTG accessories the same time because it was impossible before, and everyone says you can't use both over a normal hub so when the Hell is Samsung gonna release an accessory to do that, because they have delays on Allshare cast, MHL converter adapter(in some countries) and you can't game on Tv with wired controller, mouse, keyboard etc until Samsung bother to release it all, I mean I'm really getting pissed off having a phone capable of so much but right now just feels like an S2 with a bigger screen.
I got the connection kit for the Galaxy S3, it is infact made for the Galaxy S2, but works perfectly fine on the Galaxy S3.
Here is a review I did of it and the MHL adaptor. Sadly they didn't work together(one can wish)
http://geektech.ie/index.php/review-galaxy-s3-accessories/

Some please answer the above question. I want to use the microusb port to charge the phone and still use the other ports for mouse/keyboard/flashdrive/etc.
Also, it looks awkward to have large thing hanging off the phone so will this still work through a microusb extension cable?

Can you confirm that you can use one usb port to charge the phone while using the other port for OTG? I recently asked this question on MobileFun's video on this product and someone seemingly from the company says it can't.
http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=_SOcHFC3MnI
Has anyone come across a USB OTG adapter that can also be used to charge the Note 10.1? I wouldn't want it to require power, but if there were an optional ability to plug the power cable into the USB adapter, it would allow charging and use of the USB device at the same time...

OP, you can charge the GN 10.1 while using OTG cables if you have the special Samsung dock for the GN 10.1, which is expensive and hard to find right now; this special dock has an additional 30 PIN connector in the back into which you can plugh OTG cables.

I just order the Juiced OTG.
The reviews on Amazon say it works with the Note 10.1 and there are a few YouTube videos of people using it with their Note 10.1. You have to use a micro USB cable and not the Samsung USB cable to charge it.
Oh, I like that. Thanks! Just ordered one from Amazon UK. Looks identical, £1.39 delivered. I have no idea how they can possibly sell it so cheaply but since amazon is underwriting it I guess I can't lose... Amazing!

The best option would be to get a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and allshare. This way you can have the Note plugged while using all the rest. And when you want to use a usb you unplug it and then plug it again. This is what I do. It is quite expensive to get all the above but at least they work.
The Ekit is the identical item of the Juiced USB OTG
Amazon UK sell them here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/eKit-Connection-Compatible-Galaxy-10-1/dp/B006LWAR9U

Received this today, shipping didn't take too long to the UK. The seller included a free micro SD USB adapter with it. The OTG adapter itself works fine, the lid feels like it might break off eventually though. The micro USB part is longer than usual which allows the adapter to fit over my Spigen Slim Armor case.
The PK'2 Paris USB is a perfect solution. Its micro SD card and a 16GB thumbdrive with a USB and Micro USB connection.
http://pkparis.surinternet.com/epages/box23967.sf/fr_FR/?ObjectPath=/Shops/box23967/Products/200202
Although it is on the expensive side. It is really convinient to have all of those things available on one small USB keychain.
Meenova is awesome!
I've got to say that I love the Meenova. It has been handy for numerious devices and it is a quality product!
i got that SAME one lol, sitting on my desk but too lazy to open and test it, course the meenova is the best for its small size

Heyo!
A few weeks ago I sent my LG G4 into the service because of faulty connector ( known issue that makes device to stay on bootloading screen ) and then for a faulty camera. After it has been returned, I saw a BIG, HUGE and SIGNIFICANT problem: charging with the original USB Data Cable ( which came with the phone ) takes more than 3 hours to get to full battery. The time was never great, but it was never like this. I also have a small USB Charging Only cable ( which came with a portable battery that I bought ) which charges the phone in about 1h 30-40m ( or something like that ) from 5% to 100%. The thing is that the small one has been damaged ( almost like the iphone chargers do, but on the other end ) and I need a new one. So can anyone suggest some cheap USB Charging Only cables?
I use the cable from my Galaxy S4 and that works fantastic!

Hello,
Same problem here, yesterday my usb cable shows me 4 hours to charge while he usually tells me an hour even changing decision so I took another usb cable (the one in my X98 tablet Air III) and worries disappeared.
