Charging Cable Recommendation

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...

What kernel and Rom u using??
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

sounds like your phone thinks its charging from a usb and not ac when its charging from the mains open settings > power
under battery status it will say either not charging, charging (usb) or charging (AC).
if its saying usb then there is something wrong with the cable thats stopping it from showing s an AC adapter.

Have you tried a different adapter?
The cables could be fine, but your adapter/plug is defected.
Also, do as treebill said. Try checking in which mode (USB/AC/Not charging) your phone is recognizing as being charged.

I have exactly the same problem, I'm using official usb cable and adapter. I had tried other cables and adapters but same thing. My One X is not unlocked or rooted, and I'm with the last official rom 2.17.401.2 but it was happened and with previous rom 1.27.401.11. Even with switch off phone charging is very slow I try to restore my phone but nothing at all. Sometimes it's charge like it should but most of the time it's slow. Any suggestions or I have to go straight to repair center?

Ok.
Li ion batteries take 3-4 hours to charge. If its taking longer, there is huge current draw from the phone. Or, as you say, "no".

help me...

Are you REALLY sure your chargers aren't messed up?
I f**ed up the charger given with my One X(details below) and after that, my charger would only give me usb power instead of ac. I've been using this charger bundled with my Samsung P2 mp3 player that I got 4 years back.
We had gone on a trip where the room's fan rotation knob was missing, so the only thing I saw fit to change fan speed was fitting that tiny pin from the fan regulator in my AC Adapters usb port, which messed it up. Retarded I know, story of my life... -_-

Hey there, I faced the same problem. Having a blackberry Bold3, I tried recharging my OneX with the charger that came with it. BB charger charges my OneX WAY FASTER than the HTC charger that came with the phone. (1hour max for full charge) And battery holds an entire day too.

no one??

If you haven't rooted nor unlocked, and your phone was charging perfectly before, then I don't think it's a software issue.
It's either your charger or cable. If you have tried a different charger/cable that works well with other phones, then I guess you need to have your phone looked at.
Good luck

This is a relief. Mine took 3 hours to charge from 0 to 100 , I thought that there's something with it.

[Q] Car charger keeps disconnecting/reconnecting when i try to charge s3?!

i have one of those bullet usb car chargers and i recently tried it out with my s3 at 15% battery life and it keeps comming up with the lower battery warning while i'm connected to the car charger and the status bar shows one moment it's charging, one moment it's not! I opened up this charger and the data lines are by default shorted together. The charger is rated at 1aH max. Any ideas?? I've attached pics of the insides of the charger.
Suggestions are welcome. I've just been using my s3 wall charger off ab inveter since switching to android and it's getting pretty annoying.

Does the charger work with other devices?

USB port bad on your S3 possibly? My s2, i remember, when you pressed it down it disconnected

Try a different charger.
Not all chargers agree with all phones.
If it's not out of the question just get a new car charger made to work with the t999.

No problems charging on other chargers or charging My s3 with this car charger when the car is off with the car battery left on. When the car engine starts, the voltage of the cigarette port drops from around 14.5v to ~12v

It's a 12v power source.... Can you try another car charger?? What model is it?

When a car isn't running though it's around 14v...this is when my S3 has no problems charging on this charger. I have some usb car chargers (idevice chargers) that don't have the data lines shorted and these work fine with the S3 apart from them not charging at 1aH.

[Q] Charging as USB even though I'm using the wall original wall charger

Hi!
I bought my GNII a week ago and phone is awesome!
The only problem is it takes soooooooooo long to charge. I didn't assume that something was wrong yet since it is new. After charging for the third time and it's still slow, I searched for answers but came back empty. So I'm here hoping somebody could help at least so that I could do everything on my end before contacting my provider.
Here are some information:
1. Charger that I am using is the stock charger that came along with the phone. USB cable and Original Charger.
2. Phone is not rooted.
3. When I plug it using the wall charger (USB cable + Original Charger) it is being detected as USB instead of AC.
Hope somebody could help.
Thanks!

No there aren't , the problem is with the defective 4 pin usb cable bundeld with few of our sets actually we need to have 5 pin cables for proper charging , had exactly the same problem with my s3 puechased a HTC usb cable after that my problem was gone for good.

Yep the one packed with it is usb3 which is a bit faster. The other one is usb2 which is a bit slower.

Hi! Some breakthrough. I charged my phone at the office using the wall charger and plugging it to a UPS and VIOLA!! It charged as AC!! Could you (or anybody) know why?

Root, flash a custom kernel which supports fast usb charging

will it charge like AC after flashing? Rooting it would be my last option since I just discovered it could charge as AC without rooting. The only problem is why it charges as USB on wall charger but AC on a UPS.

That kernel will charge at 900mA by default over a normal usb connection.
I flashed it rather that the sock kernel just for that reason, plus for me it gives improved battery life etc over the stock kernel. You can overclock also but I have no desire to do that with the Note 2 as its pleanty fast enough already.

Does anyone know off a kernel that actually has usb fast charging enabled in it ?

[Q] Slow Charge with Including USB3.0 Charger

So this is an update to a previous issue I had...
When I first got this phone, the included USB3.0 charger charged much faster than a standard microUSB charger. But then it stopped charging fast. It pretty much stopped charging at all really. Like maybe 1% battery added in like 20 minutes.
So I sent it into Samsung and they returned it saying they couldn't replace it because the wall adapter part was actually from a Note 2 which doesn't support the 3.0 wire (even though it was absolutely the one that came in the box). Once I got it back, I found a brand new set of the same wire and adapter (it was covered with the packing plastic wrap and all that stuff which is what makes me think it was actually a replacement). I plugged in my phone and it charged quick again for about a day. Then it went back to charging slow again.
I still need to get down to T-Mobile to see if they'll exchange the wall adapter which supposedly doesn't work with the USB3.0 cable even though both times it worked at first. It's their mistake but I have a hard time believing they'll own up to it... The model on the adapter by the way is EP-TA10JWE with an output of 5.3V 2.0A.
Assuming they don't exchange it... What do you guys think are my options here? I ordered a 3rd party USB3.0 cable from Amazon and that does the same super slow charging as this (and it didn't come with a different wall adapter anyway so it was kind of a stupid purchase on my part). I tried plugging the cable into a computer with USB3.0 and it didn't make a difference. Is there a different wall adapter that is known to work with the fast charging on this phone that I can buy? Is it AT ALL possible that the connector on my phone is the problem and I need a new phone? That would be terrible, but if it's something I need to do I will. It charges just fine and the same speed as any other phone when I use a microUSB cord and adapter like the one that came with my old S3.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

That's weird brother. I checked my charger and i have the same model number and mine charges extremely fast. Maybe it's a problem with the device it's self.

I've noticed the same thing with mine ..and definently trickling on USB 2 .. I thought USB 3 was suppose to be all the hype about how it would do when u turn fast charge on in a rooted phone with custom kernel.. The charging is slower than my note 2 on USB 2..

its so weird that it DID charge faster for that first couple days (and again after I got the new one)... And I have 2 friends with Note 3's that say they charge faster than their previous phones (one of them had a Note 2).
I just don't know what to do...

The enhanced speed with USB 3.0 is for data transfer, not charging. Using a USB 2.0 or 3.0 will charge your phone at the same speed.

Well first of all, every review says it charges faster with the included 3.0 charger... So I don't see how you could be right about that... Not trying to argue, it's just that was one of the features that everyone talked about... And second of all, the 3.0 charger that came with it barely charges at all anyway anymore, so even if that was true, either the cable, adapter, or phone still has a problem... Phone charges fine, maybe 3 hours for 100% charge with a microUSB cable... About 1% in 10 minutes (that's as long as I can bring myself to bother testing the 3.0 charger for). And that's if the screens off. If the screen is on it actually just won't charge at all, it's like it drains quicker than it's charging with the screen on with that 3.0 cable... Again I say "cable" but it could be the cable or the adapter or the phone that's the problem... I'd love to find a way to figure out which it is...

For some reason the 3.0 charger charged lightening fast today ... Maybe the jedi ROM had to settle in for a few days maybe?
