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.

Probably if anyone can post photo / link to the gt tab 7 charger?
So, we all know what to look for specific.
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.

Thanks for this! I saw your other post and went ebay chasing, but the link made it much easier...
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
Can anyone tell me the exact model number for the simple USB wall charger?
I had it for the GSII.
Looking to buy off ebay.
Mine came with a different charger that needs converter. Picture below...
I bought this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/120869020359?ssPageName=STRK:null:IT#ht_1116wt_905
because my Gnex shipped with an European plug and US adapter (which I hate carrying around). It is OEM and you get the wall plug and USB cable as well.
does it really matter what usb wall adapter is used? I bought a generic one that can double as a car adapter for when I need it in the car and it works fine for me when plugged into the wall.
what if the charger overheats the $600 dollar phone and it catches on fire then destroys your $500,000 house...
Better 7 dollar charger than -500,600 loss....hmmmm?
they sold out and now I cant find any wall charger like that, the only wall charger similar is this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006YCORR0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A1SALXWWS9Y6O
But the usb cable is suk !!

That's the only reason I haven't bought that one yet. It's the same USB cable that came with the Nexus S, but I want the same one that came with the Galaxy Nexus, but with a US adapter like that one.
Is there a place to get the same charger that shipped with the Verizon Galaxy Nexus (without the Verizon stickers)? I've searched everywhere, but can't seem to find anything official.

No idea which ships with Verizon version but Amazon has the little OEM 1.0A US charger which is what I got. It works great. I just use the Motorola micro usb cables. My GSM Nexus came with a travel adapter but with UK blades only. I ordered a replacement from Clove but it was missing the other blades too. Either Clove misrepresented the description because it claimed to have multiple blades you can switch out or Samsung packaged mine wrong so I got a refund.
So im from India and i bought the GNex even though it hasnt been released by samsung here. Somehow, within 2 months my USB port has got fried. The local cellphone repair man says my IC needs replacement and he hast been able to find the IC for weeks now.
So rather than giving up on this baby completely, i'm thinking ill pick up an external battery charger so that i can at least USE the phone (with ever so limited functionality). Anyway, since i'm in India, ill need to make a purchase from ebay USA and i need to be sure that the external battery charger im getting is right for my phone. Ive narrowed it down to this one
http://orders.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ImportHubViewItem&itemid=200730160116
Has anyone used this one...any reviews...or any other help anyone can offer me. I bought this phone for about $400 odd and dont want to part with it this easily. Thanks!
PS: I have the International GSM version i9250 with stock battery
Have you tried charging with the pogo pins? Plenty of people have made their own pogo pin docks that work great once you enable fast charge with a custom kernel.

There's two ways to utilize the pogo pins. The first option is that you can actually buy/make a pogo pin dock, and in essence you just set up the dock so that the pins press up against the contacts on the phone and provide a charging current. Samsung offers the car and desktop docks to do just that, though they're really expensive and hard to find lately. If you make one yourself, you only need to connect two of the three pins, but you'll need a custom kernel in order to actually charge at 1A instead of 500mA. The other option is to connect an inductive charger to the pogo pins, and it can even be done internally if you have the OEM extended battery cover.
Several tutorials for DIY pogo pin mods are available in the DIY Workshop thread.
The external charger should work just fine. However, personally I would try to find the official spare battery charger (Samsung sku EBH-1F2SBE), just to eliminate any risk of getting something that's incompatible. Expansys has them in stock, and they even ship to India. I checked Expansys and they seem to have the desktop dock as well.
Another option may be to simply replace the USB board. If you're feeling up to it, you can read the guide here. Keep in mind that you may need to find a different USB board for the GSM version, but the procedure should be pretty much the same.
Thanks a lot guys. Im a bit sceptic about making my own charging dock but i think i'll try and replace the USB flex cable. That might help. And thanks a ton for those expansys links. They're charging $30 for shipping but at least its genuine stuff. Will report back on progress.
Cheers!
Back with more bad news it seems...
I decided to give my phone to Samsung for repair. They managed to get my charging port to work but now my mic isnt working. They said they replaced the flex cable but i really dont know what they did. I was just wondering, are the mic and usb connector assembly both on the USB flex cable? So is it possible that they used a bad part? Any other possibilities? Any help would be appreciated guys. Is it worth ordering a flex cable and getting it replaced now?
BUMP!
any help at all would be appreciated please!
Fixed!
So all that was needed was a flex cable. Ordered it, got Samsung to hook it up, and everything works! Thanks to all for the help!
My chargers are all ripped somewhere and not charging right so I'm going to buy a new one. Besides the amps, are there any difference between chargers? I was told to order an HP 2.1A off Amazon but my gut tells me to get a Samsung one. So if there's any special or good wall chargers that have the usb cable someone let me know, thanks

i'd suggest buying an original samsung one for your device
better safe than sorry
The little samsung brick is 1amp. You can probably get one for $5.
Is getting a bigger amp one better or will it just overheat the phone?

it charges ridiculously faster but will over heat the phone too much
So I might as well just get http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0051ZJA64 ?
I was looking for a good charger with a long cable, this one says the cable is pretty short
My suggestion is to buy chargear and long cable separate. I think 6 feet is the longest microusb cable I have seen
Make sure it has data transfer capabilities. Although most do I have gotten one in the past that was a charge only cable.

I've used generic charging cables for YEARS with many different types of cell phones and have never had a problem. I think I had a charging cable fail once, but never any damage to a phone. I always go with the cheapest ones I can find.

I too use generic chargers and cables. As long as the specs of the stock charger are met (voltage and amps), you should be fine. I usually get my gear from monoprice.com. Their stuff is very cheap and I haven't had a problem with it [yet]!

Yep they are all over amazon, just get from a reputable seller as some are fake. I bought some batteries from this seller in the past and they have it for $5.50 http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Travel-Charger-Detachable-Charge/dp/B006YCORR0/

Ah for some reason I misread that and thought you were referring to an external charger where you insert the batteries into. My mistake but I was looking for an OEM charger cable also though, so this works too lol. Thanks
I had external charger but its not oem just the really cheap black one with the red/blue light. Worked fine for me.

Does it work well for extended batteries? I have a Qcell coming in this weekend and would love to have a good working external charger for it.
OK I don't know why this thread was closed, it was definitely not resolved... I think you guys misread my question... The Note 2 does NOT have the same charger as the Note 3... The Note 3 uses a USB3.0 cable which has a different A/C adapter that looks very similar but is a different part and I guess the problem is that it works differently with the 3.0 cable. My phone was sold, NEW by T-Mobile with the wrong A/C adapter in the box... To those of you that replied that it's the same charger, you're wrong. It's clearly a different kind of cable, even if the adapter part looks similar. And to whoever closed the topic, i understand moving it to the questions section (sorry about that) but the question hadn't been resolved at all. I was wondering if anyone had the same situation happen and any tips on how to deal with T-Mobile on this situation... Here is the original post below:
Has this happened to anyone else? My friend said he saw similar threads but I just did a search and couldn't find any...
My T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 apparently came with a Note 2 a/c adapter. I found this out because after about a week, the USB3.0 cable stopped charging my Note 3. Luckily I can still charge with older microUSB cables, but I called T-Mobile for a replacement and they claimed they don't have replacement cables yet because it's so new and I should call Samsung. So I called Samsung, they said to send in the cable and a/c adapter and they'd replace it. But then today I got an email that they're cancelling my replacement because what I sent is NOT a Galaxy Note 3 charger and is in fact Item# ETA-U90JWEBXAR (obviously this is in reference for the a/c adapter part and not the USB3.0 cable which is a 3.0 cable).
So anyway now I'm waiting for my cable and a/c adapter to get back to me so I can go back to T-Mobile and complain. I have a really bad feeling that they're gonna fight me on this and claim I switched the chargers or something. Has anyone had this issue and have any tips on how to make it right?
Thanks
BTW I apologize in advance if A/C adapter is the wrong term haha. I think it is, but after typing it like 10 times in the above paragraphs it's starting to sound like gibberish...

Have you tried going to a tmobile store? And just to let you know, the two chargers perform the same function. As long as the charger is a 2A charger, then it will charge the phone the exact same way.
And about the thread closing, a mod here has been going crazy with closing threads in the Q&A section.
The USB 3.0 cable is the only difference. The charger is the same even though different part #. I have both charger and they're the same. I even have a tablet charger and that is quite different, color and shape, but it works all the same.

see i thought that they'd work the same too. so that's good to know, and i didn't try the 3.0 cable in a different a/c adapter before mailing it back to them.
also, like i said in the post up above i'll be going to the t-mobile store as soon as i get the charger back from samsung in the mail. but when it first stopped working and i called t-mobile they said they don't even have replacement cables to give... so between that and samsung saying t-mobile put the WRONG a/c adapter in the box... i have a feeling i'm gonna have a HUGE problem getting a replacement from t-mobile, which is why i made this post... to ask if anyone else has had a situation like this.
The n3 charger output is 5.3vdc and the n2 is 5.0vdc. That's just because of the bigger battery on n3. Thou it doesn't hurt anything because both are rated at 2.0A.

So lets say I get T-Mobile to replace the A/C adapter and 3.0 wire and it still doesn't work... Is there a chance just the 3.0 charging portion of my phone is damaged somehow and not the microUSB charing port? Would that even make any sense? Gonna really suck if I have to get my phone replaced...
I doubt the 3.0 is damaged as the pins are only active when you connect it to a 3.0 port in a pc.

yea that's why i was thinking the note 2 a/c adapter that came with it just simply doesn't support 3.0 cables and maybe that's where my problem lies... hopefully t-mobile will replace it. bah.
