HTC AC Adapter

Anyone know how to get my hands on a second HTC-brand AC Adapter for the EVO that plugs into N/A wall outlet? (MODEL TC U250)

Would like to know this as well since it works reliably and is high power.

I like the HTC branded one too for it's power and size but here is a really good travel charger to consider.

It has a battery built in so it can also function as a backup battery when you're traveling and need a quick charge. With a 25% off for being a premier customer it's $29.99.

I'm pretty sure I saw some on Amazon

I found a kit for the iPod and iPhone that provides a 5V/1A car and home charger that allows the device to work properly (no wonkiness with the screen). They're both USB plugs and then you plug in a microUSB cable that you've provided (it comes with an iPod cord). The phone doesn't unfortunately recognize them as anything but USB BUT they are higher current so they should charge faster than the typical devices.
It's made by Philips and says "Fast charging at home & in the car" on the front. The part number is DLM2264/17.
This is the same thing on Philips' website (though on this link it's branded DLO and the one I bought is not).

I believe it was $35. I found it at Staples.

i was looking for one too and found this seller on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HTC-Desire-O...Accessories&hash=item255c9d25ac#ht_2798wt_733
they are OEM HTC models and dirt cheap (US $9 inc. shipping). just placed an order!

Enjoy waiting on that ac adapter for a month.

I've gotten two from Florida, took three days:

Does Vibrant come with a wall charger?

I purchased my Vibrant through one of those online retailers. With the package I got a USB charger and a car charger. It did not come with a wall charger ?
I think when I am traveling, the USB charger is no good. At airports I can only get to outlets..
If I am supposed to buy a wall charger separately, could someone point me to the cheapest option (ebay, Tmobile store, etc)

Can't help you on the supposed package contents.
But to charge your phone, you need to buy a USB wall adaptor.Then you plug your usb cable into it.
EBay will get you a good price.
Also take a look at DealExtreme.

Thank you all for the clarification. I bought one which had the USB thing for $3.50 on ebay. I think that was a pretty good price with free shipping.

HDMI and USB cables

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.

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.

Wall charger ...

Hi,
Can you use the wall charger from the Galaxy Tab 7" ?
Please if you have both devices to try it.
I would like to import this new 10.1" to Europe, The Netherlands.
And I am wondering the wall charger requirements.
Thanks.

I would also be interested to know if the charging cable is compatible between the original Galaxy Tab and the Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Yes it works. I'm using my cable that came with my 10.1 to keep plugged into my PC and I'm currently charging my 10.1 on the cable that came with my 7. It went from 0 to 50% so far no problems. Not sure if it charges any faster/slower than the one that came with it but I'd assume they are the same.

Thanks, so I can order NL gt 7 charger for my US gt 10.1 for use here in NL.

Thanks for that. Picked up a couple of genuine Samsung chargers from Tesco in the UK for £4.97 each (reduced from something like £40!). Potential UK buyers might want to grab a spare while they can!

i think he was saying that the cable will work. The charger might not. I was trying to use my cable with other USB wall chargers but the device won't charge on them... my guess is because they are less than 2ah. I would make sure the specs on the tab 7 charger match up to the 10.1 charger to be safe

The Galaxy Tab charger I picked up today is rated at 2A so it should be OK, with any luck!

cable and charger both work. both chargers are 5v 2A. one reason why it charges slower than the xoom and tf.
on the upside it does trickle charge via standard usb. my tf won't and of course my ex xoom wouldn't.

Sweet, i'm gonna have to pick one of these up then

Wow, those chargers are expensive on amazon. Does anyone know where to get cheap ones?

Ebay is probably the best place for all things cheap, unless you're wanting a samsung branded charger

Haven't checked for the exact right one but dealextreme.com has been the best in the past for misc electronics cheap.

good to know that. like many android gadgets, once you have it, next natural thing is to put several chargers in several places.

I hate how you can't just plug it into any usb. I have usb adapters everywhere and it would be nice if I could charge it while plugged into my computer

I posted this in another thread, but with these adapters, you can charge off ANY USB port;

I've bought two, leave one at home and the other comes travelling with me.
I also use a few third party cables designed for the original Galaxy Tab and they work fine. So happy to be able to charge my 10.1v anywhere

it does, but it seems like 1% per 3 min. just plug it in and see. it's the only honeycomb tablet that i've had that actually does charge via usb (xoom, tf, and gt101). the tf doesn't, but i'm sure it would if i had usb 3.0.

I really want a wall charger I can throw in my flight bag. Anyone have one they've found on eBay that charges the Tab 10.1? I really don't want to drop $40 for the OEM, ouch!

Seriously, why not buy one of the adapters that I posted about and use any charger you want? I think I paid about $7 Australian for two and now I can keep using all of the USB wall and car chargers I have amassed over the years owning Win Mobile and Android phones
If your heart is really set on buying a proper wall charger, if it says it will charge a Galaxy Tab (original) or iPad, it should charge the 10.1

European plug for charger?

I'm looking to find the European plug for the Galaxy Note 10.1 charger to replace the US one when I'm traveling.
Can anyone help me locate it or find the part number for it, please?
Thanks in advance!

I've simply bought a charger on ebay. For less than eight bucks you get the plug plus a charger and usb cable :good: (search for "EU Mains Travel AC Charger Adapter + USB Cable Samsung P6200 P6800 P7300 P7500" )

Is that OEM, original Samsung?
Also, I'm always wary about purchasing things from Hong Kong or China. Would prefer Europe. Thanks!

What's strange is, the GT-N8013 plug (excluding the cable) comes in two sections: the prong and the charging head. You would think the purpose of this is to interchange various prongs into the same charging head when traveling. But it seems that these interchangeable prongs that fit this charging head are difficult to find! I'm looking for a European one myself, with no luck. Why buy a whole new plug when you can just change the prong? It defeats the purpose of the interchangeable and portable design.

You can buy that plug from Ebay as noted above and only use the prong with the stock charging head(or visa versa) but who's to say it will fit? I don't want to spend extra $ and wait two weeks for delivery to find out it won't fit or work.
The prong interface/connection to the charging head seems proprietary, or almost proprietary.

I can tell you that it will definitely fit - I use mine this way

Probably should have been more precise in saying European plug: what I meant was the so-called "Europlug".

Well, I ordered one of these and just as suspected, they are NOT BRAND NEW. That's why I don't like buying stuff from China. You have to wait 2 weeks for disappointment. You think they're new? Look at them more closely. Garbage. They repackage these from the bottom so the seal is not broke.

Thanks for the update!
I contacted Samsung about getting just the plug as a replacement part, and I must say they weren't very helpful, saying that I'd have to just buy a new charger. For the moment I'm just using a simple plug adapter which is doing the trick, but I hate the extra bulk. Ugh! First-world problems!

Yes, I hear ya. You can order that one from Ebay. They are the correct type and Euro prongs will fit your Samsung plug but they are not new. These are repackaged with scratches, marks, scuffs, nasty and they have THE NERVE to re-apply the protective clear plastic film back on the pieces! And these sellers on Ebay are selling them as NEW!. Granted, it is only $8 but everything is scratched and the supplied cable doesn't fit properly into the 30-pin jack. So you're paying 8 dollars for a European plug. I never even tested it because I'm not in Europe yet. The prongs could be messed up too!
Samsung's response and marketing is just ridiculous in this respect. WHY make a two section plug when you can't swap the prongs out when traveling. Defeats the whole purpose of it's design. Defeats the whole purpose of portability WHICH THIS TABLET IS ALL ABOUT. It perturbs me.

I am looking for the same thing. We purchased 2 note 10.1 tablets in Australia and live in Italy. I have been looking for a travel kit, but the only one I have seen is in Hong Kong. I will probably just buy a new European adapter, and one for the US if we still have them when we go back.
Generally when we travel I take 2 good (SKOSS) universal travel adapters and a 3-way plug adapter. Hotels (and most houses/apartments) have a limited number of outlets and not always the standard plugs. With this setup I can charge everything overnight on 1 or 2 outlets. When traveling lighter, I just take the cables and use the 2 port usb adapter that comes with the SKOSS travel adapter and charge a little slower overnight.
By the way I have had the same problem with several different devices. I have never been able to buy the plugs separately from the oem. If you are sure you need the standard European 2 round prong plug, there are very small and cheap US to European adapters. We have 20 to 30 of them and they work well. Just be sure or you will be spending far too much on a travel adaptor when you get there. In stores they can run 50 euro. You can get them cheaper online, but that is not usually an option when traveling.

That's what I'm running with right now. 50 cent adapters bought online. Work great, just a little bit of a nuisance having a plug in a plug...

I found another solution for this problem. The connecter for the interchangable plug is the same as the really cheap 2 prong connector for most electronics. Instead of using the plastic plug, use the cheap plastic cable that comes with most radios or DVD players (that aren't permenantly attached). I purchased 2 European travel chargers then noticed the shape of the plug is the same as the generic 2 prong cable.

It is so call 8 plug. Search on eBay. Even your laptop's charger has that plug most likely.

He hah! I thought so. It's what I would call the pig tail that that plugs into the wall and then into the power brick. You have one with your battery chargers, old hard drive adapters, universal power supplies.
I thought it was the same, glad to have it confirmed. I already travel with one that I use for a battery charger, universal power supply and an inverter.

This also makes it easier for me because the Samsung usb cable is so short. I can use the "pig tail" to plug into the wall and the brick is closer to where I need it to charge my Note while I use it.
This cable is really inexpensive and works better than a cheap adapter. Just stay away from the sony version, it has a square side and I don't think it will fit.

I have been able to find these cables locally in most large cities internationally. I have also been known to order from amazon a week or 2 before traveling, and have things delivered to my hotel. Saves time and money, but can be problematic, mostly from credit card companies.

It depends, I see a lot of "Micky Mouse" (3 prong grounded) connectors for laptops, but YMMV.
I keep a couple at work for visitors, our genius IT department said they would have to order the whole power supply to get the cables, I just went to a local electronics store and paid 2 euro each for the cables...
