Quality Usb cable that is no bigger than stock. - Galaxy S III Accessories

I'm looking for a quality USB cable who's micro end is no bigger than the stock cable we get from Samsung. My case fits the stock Samsung cable perfectly, and i would like another for car charging. Everything i find either has an end that's too large to fit with my case, or reviews that aren't very good. Even the "stock Samsung" cable on amazon is a cheap aftermarket claiming to be genuine, which does not sit well with me. I'm fine with aftermarket, but i can't find any quality ones with a small enough end.
I could get the cable from Samsung:

But it appears to only come with a charger, and I don't want to pay 35$ for a cable.
Any Recommendations?

... what even the what?
Anyway, I just grabbed a pocketknife and trimmed the plug down to size on another micro usb cable I had lying around, fits my case perfectly now as it used to be too big before.
If you don't care too much about looks maybe this is a solution?

On Ebay they are sold for about a couple of dollars, real Samsung ones.
Recieved mine last week and looks like it is a genuine one, same thickness of cable, only slighter shorter than the one who came with my Galaxy.
But bought the one for the Note, so maybe that one is a bit shorter.
Anyway of is good quality and better than the imitation ones who have thinner cables.

USB data cable

Do any of you guys and gals know of an aftermarket cable that will work with the captivate. I lost the original one that came with the phone. Have since bought two different chargers, one from the att store (zero charger), and they charge the phone but don't put it on USB mode like the original one did when I plug it to a laptop.

All you need is a standard MicroUSB to USB cable. Make sure it's a standard cable, and not a "charge only" cable though.
A bit of advise, generally if you buy a cable that isn't a Samsung USB cable, you're going to have to take a razor blade to your new cable and cut away some of the rubber around the MicroUSB plug. You'll see that untrimmed, you might have a hard time getting the cable secured in the phone's port.
Thanks man. I actually just noticed the "charging only cable" written on the tag on the cable. Now I know what to look for. And you're right, the one I bought from a gas station was always popping out. The one from att fits like a glove though.
Sent from my rooted Cappy.
All it takes is a razor blade or something similar, and a few seconds. I use a bunch of generic USB cables which all have fat plug heads. Trimming a little of the rubber off and they all work perfect.
Weird, for some reason my original cable from ATT now is really loose, I have to like set the phone down a certain way to keep it charging/plugged in.
The only cables that now do fit snuggly are the ones from my external mini hard drives with the fat head, haha, I wonder why...my captivate still looks normal, can't figure it out.
I guess I should see if my normal cable fits with my externals or falls out of those too, if so it would be the cable. But it seems weird that the fat headed cables fit snuggly with my captivate, so that makes me think maybe its the captivate.
long winded stupid post, sorry.

Check out www all4cellular DOT com
They have the OEM Samsung Captivate (U.S./Edison) Wall Charger and USB Charging+Data Cable for $6.95 + $2 Shipping.
The item number is "eta0u60jbe". But this item # includes BOTH the USB Wall Charger (# ETA0U60JBE) AND the USB-to-Micro USB data/charging Cable (# ECC1DU2BBE)!
I bought two of these and they are EXACTLY like the original Charger and ~5ft. USB Cable that comes with the Captivate. They are OEM/Samsung-branded and labeled and are not Chinese-made knock-offs. I am in SoCal and received them within a few days of ordering.
Here's a direct link:

I had similar issues, till I realized that the problem was with the sliding door for the microUSB port - make sure it is pushed all the way back (you may hear a click) - its only then that all my MicroUSB cables fit w/out any modifications to them.
as always YMMV.
hope that helps
I second the Monoprice.com recommendation. I buy ALL my cables there. The heads on their micro USB cables are too large to plug into the Captivate unmodified, but I used a Dremel to fix that.
Both of my Monoprice cables are going strong, in contrast with my OEM cable, which started out excellent, but is now so loose as to not maintain a connection unless the phone and cable are precisely arranged.

I have the same problem with the original cable not fitting snug. Yes, the door is open all the way...until the click. I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one have the problem. Been doing it since day 1. I'm afraid to cut any bit of it off since its already slimmed down and there isn't much left to cut

I have a 1009 model. Assuming that means it was manufactured Sept,2010. Now to find a microUSB
We have some micro USB 5' Cables coming in Monday. If they are like the sample they not only fit the Captivate properly, but when plugged into our new Car Plug ->USB (2100mA) adapter, my Captivate shows "Charging (AC) ".
We originally brought in the Hi-Power USB car adapter so iPad & Tablet customers could both run & charge at the same time. We have had enough request from customers looking to use it with Smart Phones, that I had to find the best matching cable.

As mentioned, get your cables from monoprice. I mean, you just can't beat a usb cable for $2. If it needs trimmed, I usually just use a razor knife/box cutter to remove the bulk, and it works perfectly. I actually had to order a 25ft. VGA cable from them a couple of days ago...$8. Seriously. Definitely the cheapest place I've seen to buy cables.

[Q] Buying USB Cable.

HI, i want to buy an Original Samsung USB cable, EXACTLY the same one that comes with the
Galaxy SII i9100
so that i can use it to root, put roms, etc.
the cable code that its in the label says
"U2 APCBU10BBE
KD1B202TS E"
anyone knows where i can buy one ONLINE (with worldwide shipping)
THX!
I guess you might have been able to do some searching in these two days and would have found some place to get the cable. In case you haven't, try Export Prive.

son, it's time to accept Google's friendship !
Am I missing something here? Why is it so important to get the original Samsung USB cable? It's just microUSB.
I didn't even bother taking the original Samsung cables out of the box since I have so many laying around. I use my cables from my previous HTC devices. I also use generic cables that I bought for spares. It all works just fine.
I rooted my SGS2 and with just a generic microUSB cable that happened to be nearby. And I charge my SGS2 with my HTC chargers.

I wonder if that is really an original cable, especially at that price. Ordered 3 anyway.
Yeah I've never bothered with specific cables before but Galaxy S2 requires a specific USB build cable. I've flashed my ass off with Galaxy S and different cables but SII would not work (properly) until I used the cable that came with it. Tried on different PC's, Mac (running Fusion), different USB cables etc... only Samsung's worked.
It might be that the length of the cable needs to be very short because SII is not powered the same way GS was powered.
thx everyone!! yup i heard in a lot of places that i must use original cables for specific
things..
google is my very best friend ... but not all does fake cables aaaaalll over google,
the easy way its not an original cable, and the hard way... well i dont undestand Z xD
and no, i dident find where to buy it yeet!, cant find it ANYWHERE!

Received my original cable from Export Prive today. The cable is a U6, so the cable is slightly thicker and the microUSB connector is also slightly thicker in the plastic area. It still fits in the opening of my SGP Silke case and the cable works fine for charging and data connection.
Received the really cheap cables from ebay. Turns out that they are also original Samsung cables with the code:
S1 APCBS10BBE
FL1Z412ASB
The connectors are identical to my original U2 APCBU10BBE cable and the wiring feels slightly stiffer.
Extremely good value for $2 each! Charges fine, transfers data through USB mass storage fine as well. Will test flashing next time.

I beg to differ. Firstly, the SGSII requires a micro usb B connector. And secondly, the quality of the wire used in the cable itself can limit the charging rate. Really thin cheap cables like the retractable ones limit the charging current. And cables with poor shielding/grounding cause the touchscreen to become unresponsive and you have a higher chance of a firmware upgrade going wrong due to corrupt data.

Nope, my HDMI cables cost me $3.95 each.
For some things cheap cables will work, for others, you need proper ones.
My proper Samsung microUSB cables cost me $2 each only anyway, so what does this have to do with cheap/expensive cables? My argument is that you need quality cables. And price does not equal quality. You can get good quality items for cheap price too. Except for microSD cards.
hey sleepy cat,
the cable's you've ordered from KTS-AME, do they work with KIES and Galaxy S or SII?
I've ordered a cheap one on Amazon and KIES doesnt recognise my phone.
so if the KTS-AME one actually does the job of getting my phone back with KIES, I am going to order it for my Galaxy S I9000.

USB Dock Station for Galaxy Note for only $6.78 + Free Shipping

Hi All,
I was searching for USB Dock for Note and found THIS on eBay.
for only $6.78 + Free Shipping :laugh:
I saw many of THE SAME docks going for $19.99 - $24.99 on eBay and Amazon,So this is definitely a good Deal IMO.
One Another Good thing is Economy International Shipping is also cheap on this.
only $1.99 to INDIA in my case. So gifted one to my buddy!!!
I dont know if I plug in MHL cable in back and use it as HDMI Dock
That would be awesome
-----------------------------------------------What Works and What Dose not------------------------------------------------
1. MHL Cable : NO (You can not connect MHL cable behind the Dock to do HDMI out )
2. Data X'fer : YES (You can simply attach your data cable to Computer to Transfer files to/from Phone)
3. USB OTG : ??? (Dont know why anybody would do this but i will check it tonight see if it works!)

Thnx.
I ordered one of these to station on my bedside cabinet, so my note would act as a nice alarm clock. The unit is reasonably solid, but feels a little unstable out of the box (it wants to tip over backwards if placed on a less than solid surface, e.g. carpet)). However, once you plug your power cable into it this seems to help with the stability due to the location of the socket.
The unit itself has a very subtle light on the top, like a thin white crescent, to show when the unit is powered, and the contour of the aperture fits the Note's body perfectly. In fact, it holds it incredibly tightly, so I have no risk of accidentally knocking the note out of the cradle during a particularly robust "bedroom gymnastics" session with Mrs RTR, if you get my drift.
All in all, I'm more than happy with mine.
I tried a few different docks, but ultimately decided to go dock-free, simply because these docks are pretty much only usable with the Note naked, whereas I prefer leaving my Note in its case 24-7.

But I almost never use any phone with cases. I sure buy couple but like after week or two stop using them.They make them phones thick.
But I recently dropped my note , and it has scratch/ding . So back to case till the dock arrives.

I have the same one from deal extreme. The dock was a little snug at first, but has loosened to a great fit. I've been using my phone as an alarm clock for a long time now and I can finally see the dang thing without picking it up now. Only thing I wish it had was a home button on the base so I could wake the phone without pushing it back. Overall I'm very happy for $12 shipped.

Micro USB replacement cable

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.

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.

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

Loose magnetic cable

Hi.. i recently bought a magnetic cable from an local online store for $5.5. It said to be original from sony.
But the magnet is not so strong, so it's easily loose whenever i pick up the phone.
Does the original one fits and tights properly? I think mine is not.
How to differentiate the original or not?
Thanks. Please share your experience. Or maybe if you have 3rd party cable, can you recommend me a good brand which is not so expensive?

A cable with "Fifa World Cup Brasil" - themed box and when you open it, there's only a cable inside and nothing else? It's a fake.
There's no original magnetic cable, especially from Sony, every single one advertised as original... just isn't.
Magnetic port was originally designed ONLY for a charging dock, like Sony DK48, if we talk about the one compatible with Z3/Z3C.
I have one, recently bought it and I'm pretty satisfied. But the charging itself is slower, compared to the "traditional" - through microUSB. But, well, I just wanted not to open these frustrating flaps and I only charge the phone at night so I don't give a damn.
But if you still want a magnetic cable, there are a plenty of reviews of magnetic cables on YT.
I personally dropped the idea of buying magnetic cable only because not all of them are sure, so I bought magnetic charging dock.
@romcio47. Ah okay.. exactly like that..
How do you think about non original charging dock? It costs $9 in that store, much cheaper than original. Do you recommend this?
I'm thinking about, whether cable or dock, it's just a copper wire to distribute electricity..lol. can it be dangerous to use non ori one?
Not in case with charge adapters, the non ori one seems not stable.

I don't even know if I have an original one. It has Sony logo, it looks like an original one, works perfectly good, fits well but I bought it without the original box, it was sold -40% of original price!
The charging dock deliveres different voltage and amps than the charger itself due to a little circuit inside. It deliveres 5-9V DC and AFAIK 1.8A. There might be a danger if you use non-original one but as I told - I'm not even sure if I have original one but it works flawlessly

As it has been said, there is no original cable. Just the DK48 dock for about 18€
I also bought a cable connector and the magnet fell out after 10 minutes.
I suggest you get your money back or have it replaced by a working one. Better get money and buy a dock.
The fake dock i bought works flawlessly.
I think that Magnector-X-202 could be a Good cable
