I would like a longer cable that will also allow charging from computer USB, car charger USB port, etc...
Basically I don't want to be limited to having to have that brick of a Samsung wall charger with me, and of course the longer cable.
Can anyone recommend one? I've looked on Amazon but all the descriptions just aren't clear enough...
Unfortunately I have been reading that the "bulky" charger is the only one that will charge the tab properly. My suggestion would be to buy a USB extension cable to solve ur short cable issue.

Really? I swear I read of a cable that would work on computer USB.... darn, my cable is short circuiting at the 30 pin so I need a new one regardless. I have an extention cable already.

I leave my tab plugged in overnight to my pc using the supplied samsung usb data cable. It charges at a slower rate but is typically charging about 70% over a 9 hour period.
I also have an USB3.0 2.0m extension cable (tried an ASUS transformer for a week), which allows charging and data transfer ok

That will allow the Tab to charge from any 2A charger (most common would be iPad chargers).
The tab will go into USB charging mode (e.g. charging disabled) with iPad chargers unless you use the cable above or modify the charger.
I haven't had time to investigate, but it MIGHT be possible to allow charging from unmodified iPad chargers with a kernel modifications. Not sure - it depends on whether we have separate ADCs for USB D+ and D- or not.
this will work, you could also buy the cable without the charger.

Dude not to be rude but the Guy is looking for a cable that will charge his tab from his computer. That is the stock charger and cable that came with the tab. That one doesn't accomplish the task

Can't charge from PC, not enough current available. Best you can do is adapters like th DX one to allow iPad chargers which are often more compact.

Tab, not Tab 10.1 - The original 7" Tab will charge from a PC, the 10.1 will not.
The cable will work with the Tab 10.1 just like the 10.1's stock sync cable - which means it will transfer data but not charge when connected to a PC.
Guys, I keep reading in this thread that the tab 10.1 can't be charged via a PC, well I'm here to tell you it can and does. Every night I leave mine connected to my PC, and in the morning it's charged! Admittedly it's a slower charge rate (seems to be around 6 or 7% per hour), but it charges never the less. I use the samsung supplied cable and nothing else.
Of course, it won't charge if the tab is in use via a PC USB port...
This is hooked up to the Samsung charger , I have-no idea what the heck is going on..... anyone else?

if you turn off the tab and then plug it in, does the battery screen come on and does the device charge?

My guess - faulty resistors in the charger or one of the wires in the cable is dead.
The Tab expects to see USB D+ and D- shorted together and floating at 1.2 volts, set by a resistor divider in the charger.
Does the cable work fine for USB data transfer?
I think the user has possibly used the wrong wording. If he's seeing the MTP mode come on that means that he's just got it plugged into a USB port on a machine whilst the tablet is on (whilst using the "charger" cable).
Simple answer if that's the case. The tab doesn't charge that way as there isn't enough power coming through the port to keep the tab on and charge. If you however switch off the tab, you should find it charges from the USB port
If not, let us know.
Actually the tab is going into MTP mode while plugged into the outlet, using the supplied Samsung power adapter and supplied 30 pin cable.
I think i need to call Samsung for replacement... although after really thinking about what I just typed I think might be simpler to just buy a new cable online.
Or is it the actual power adapter that's faulty....
Well that is quite odd then. Does the tab charge if you switch it off and then plug it into the outlet / pc?

No, his wording was explicit enough to indicate that the tab is falsely detecting the factory charger as a USB host. This will happen with iPad/iPod/iPhone chargers, and would happen with the factory charger if the cable were faulty (D+ or D- open) or if the charger were faulty.
Again, to the OP: Does the cable work for syncing to a PC to transfer data? If it doesn't work at all, that's a sign that D+ or D- of the cable is open.
Meh, some people use words such as charger and cable interchangeably in terms of their truer intended meanings at times.
I was simply trying to cover that base.
Not sure if the cable works for data ....as I do everything over the air. The cable was giving me troubles at the tab end, (loose connection) but lately has been working OK.
I also haven't been charging and using at the same time lately either. I really needto contact Samsung and talk to them about a warranty replacement, but I have a feeling I'd be better off just buying a new one off Amazon or the like....

I have the same issue. Check that with different cables. So cable and charger is not the reason
If you're running a ROM with Pershoot's kernel, you can "Enable Charge From ANY USB" (see link in my signature). If you're running something else, you can make yourself a "DIY Universal Charging Inline Cable" that will trick the Tab into charging off anything (again, see the link in my signature).
But before you go out spending money (even if it's just a little bit of $$$) you should see if the cable works for data transfer between your computer and the tab.
If the cable works, then the "DIY Universal Charging Inline Cable" will keep you going until Samsung sends you a replacement charger.
I had this problem and didn't know what was wrong for a while. It turned out the the charger wasn't plugged in all the way in the outlet. I guess it wasn't getting all the juice it needed.
Am suddenly getting this problem tonight also it sometimes turns my tablet off but won't let me turn it on till I pull the charger out.I've also noticed that if I plug it in when the tab is off the battery sometimes comes up saying it's charging
just plugged the usb lead in to 2 laptops and they both show a usb error
I started having the same problem 2 days ago. All of a sudden i plugged in the wall charger and it went into MTP mode. It will charge if turned off but I've noticed it takes a much longer time to charge. From 3% it took almost 24 hrs to completly charge. Thinking that I'll have to buy a new wall charger.
Please help
Another one about charging...
My 10.1 P7510 takes tooooo long to charge, even beeing off. If I connect it to my notebook data transfer is correct but battery keeps draining, or at least not charging. If I turn it off (either connected to PC or charger) the charging icon appears correctly. I must say that cable (and charger) are not the original ones
Is it a problem of the Tab, or cable, and/or charger ?
I think the charger did not have enough current to charge the tab while still using it. The stock charger should be rated at 5V 2A. I tried another charger with only 1A and it still worked. Anything lower than 1A will end up showing that MTP mode.

I've got the same problem myself except I had to clean the charger clean of marinade sauce (it's a long story, don't ask!) and I took the device back to my local Vodafone store (I got it on a Mobile Broadband contract) as I thought it was faulty. They claimed the device was working fine although they used their own cable and not mine. They also claimed that if it was the cable, I should be easily able to buy one.
I tried buying one in every store I could think of, including the phone repair shops and they didn't sell them at all!
It's just a shame that a tablet like this which could have been a great tablet is crippled not only with no MicroSD slot, but also using a crappy proprietary socket whereas all the other Tabs have a MicroSD slot/uses a Micro USB port.
(I've already ordered a replacement cable from Amazon UK in any case for a reasonable price)
mtp-connected and media scanner running
I bought. My Tab 8.9 last November, only started having this problem since last night. There is red cross and mtp-connected,also,"media scanner running". I am using original cable and adapter that come with the Tab. Has anyone here found a solution?
I have a VZW Galaxy Nexus and it won't charge while it's on,but when I turn it off it charges. Also It will charge while powered on when its connected to my VZW branded car charger. Anyone know why this is?
In settings>battery does it show charging(USB) or charging(AC)?

Are you using the stock USB cable and charger?
Not all USB cables or chargers are made the same.
I bought one micro usb cable that looked high quality but didn't charge at all when in use and charged very slowly when not in use.

Wrong place, you need to check in: Settings > About Phone > Status
Might it be a faulty USB cable? Have you tried with a different cable/charger?

Try on a different computer, maybe your computers USB ports are malfunctioning or the GNex overloads them when the phone is on?
Not sure what the problem is. I've tried two dfferent computers usb ports several different outlets and two different cables. The only time it truly charges is when I have it hooked up to my car charger
I'm having a similar problem with the GSM version. I had the original Galaxy S and had to replace it because over time it completely stopped charging no matter what cable I used. Is this an issue with Samsung phones? Now My Galaxy Nexus seems to only charge with certain cables and some cables that it originally worked with no longer charge it. I've tested the cables with other devices and they seem to work. I'm wondering if I should begin the lengthy process of shipping it off to the UK for warranty service. Anyone have a link to a tutorial on how to flash everything back to stock and relock the bootloader?

Resolution?
So today my Galaxy Nexus (GSM) has started doing the same as the OP. I did not charge at all last night on the charger. I turned it off. Took it downstairs to another charger and plugged it in and noticed that it was charging. I figured it just needed a reboot. I turned it back on and left if on the second charger and it quit charging. Now I've moved to a third charger and the same thing is happening....no charge except while turned off.
I don't think I have done anything to harm the phone--the only thing I've ever done to it is swap the battery to the larger version. I'll try to switch the battery back to the OEM when I get home from work to see if that makes a difference. In the mean time, does anyone have any ideas on this? The phone is only ~6 months old, would I be wrong to say that the warranty would take care of this? Thanks.

My SGS2 did this as well. I had to tweak the USB connector on my phone. I bent it slightly toward the screen and all was well, never had to mess with it again.

This is true, the outer pins on a USB are for charging, positive and negative. The inner two are data in, data out. At the very least, a cable will always have positive and negative, so all cables will charge unless there's a break in either positive or negative or both. If there's a break in data in or out, it should still charge but it won't communicate with a PC or something like that.
The issue OP is talking about sounds rom or kernel related. Nandroid > Try something else. Hope for the best.
I've noticed that on 4.1 my USB charging worked fine. Now that I am on 4.1.1 it still charges over USB, but at a decreased rate. In other words, before 4.1.1 it easily charged over night and now it will only charge to about 80%. Does anyone have any ideas why that might be?

I just did the same thing, and it worked. Gnex was only charging when it was off, now, it's fine. I had to do the same thing to my old Fascinate for the same issue.

Having the exact same problem, won't charge with the original adapter as well as spare adapters, also wont charge through USB. Car charger is the only thing charging it right now.
Explain further?
Could you explain further what you mean by "bent slightly toward the screen?" are you talking on the phone or on the cord? If on the cord, then the whole metal connector? Or just something inside.
My phone won't turn on. I own a samsung galaxy nexus (verizon). I've had it for 16 months. I was talking on my phone then ended the call. Had it charging to the wall. Set my alarm for the morning. When I woke up my phone was off. I tried to turn it on. No luck. I did the 10 second volume down plus power button. Still nothing. I pulled the battery and did the wall charger no luck. I plugged it into my computer with the usb. It doesn't register it. The phone has no lights on it. The screen doesn't light up notifying me of it charging. The little flasher light on the bottom doesn't light up. Please help I'm out of options. I called verizon and they said i'm off warranty. I have no other options that I know of besides to get a new phone. I love my phone. I unlocked and rooted it. I have everything on it. I need to get it back on. Any and every idea will be tried. Thank you!!!!

Question: Did you use the same USB cable from the wall charger to the computer?
Could be a couple of things...if the answer is YES, I would change USB cables and see if that fixes it.
If the answer is NO, you could try to clean out the microUSB port. It's possible that some dust got into it, causing a small shunt or keeping the pins from connecting. I know my previous Galaxy Nexus had this issue...found out I had a piece of lint that somehow got into the MicroUSB port and kept the USB plug from seating correctly.

tkirton,
I used a different charger than the micro usb cable. in fact i used multiple different chargers. I also blew out my usb ports and cable. I tried again and again, using different usb ports as well. it didn't work. My computer just doesn't seem to identify the cable or phone like it use to.

If you have exhausted all possible means then the last resort for you is to try the USB jig. Usually it can wake the device up and put it to ODIN mode. If that fails too, then its a possible major hardware failure.

When i connect my charger i get nothing. no symbol no lights no response. and the centering of the usb charger didn't work either. my phone has such a tight fit i couldn't even fit a thumb tack pin into it.
I've done lots or research on the USB jig. I'm going to try it. or find someone that has one. wish me luck!

Hey guys.
first of all i am using rooted GN2 N7100.
ive been rooted for about more than 6 months, with stock roms. but this recent few weeks. my phone wont easily charge via AC adapter. i thought it was the adapter fault. the symptom is, a 1 second repeated gap of connect/disconnect when plugging in the adapter. and it will stop for a few minutes. and it will continue that way again and again. so ive made some test. tested that ive made are as below:
1. Tested the adapter with other phone. it works fine.
2. try to change the cable but with the same adapter, still wont work
3. try to change the adapter but with the same cable, still wont work.
so.. i thought at 1st it was the microUSB port for SURE!!! but im proven wrong when i desperately need to make my phone stays alive, i try to plug in the cable to PC USB port!! WALLA!!! it work just fine!!!!
so i thought it must be the software.. so i decided to flash a custom roms.. was hoping that it will replace the system files to a new one and making the charging works. after ive done that. it still wont charge.. and restore back to my backed up stock roms because i dont want to deal with all the "EFS" hanky panky thing.
so now im out of idea. (u know how pain it is to wait for ur phone to charge on PC USB right guys? )
by the way. i found out something, if i use a cable that is not capable on transferring data and connect it to the adapter and to my phone. it works just fine!!! what does this means?
i need all u pros out there to guide me on this. tried to google this case in 2 days aready. so i think, my case is one of a kind for note 2.
Because of my phone will charge normally using PC USB but not in AC Adapter. so i really believe my MicroUSB port is still in good condition.
i hope that im not wrong.
just please help... thousand thanks,
anyone? please..................

Ur problem is unique 4 sure. R u on 4.3 or 4.4?
U can check if an AC Adaptor+cable of other Note2 phones work?
If it does, buy new one.
If not, mUSB port could be a problem. U said it charges on PC. That is DC current not AC. Which suggests that your port is working partially. It is receptive to DC not AC.
