Hello guys. I own the P605 model for 2 years now and since then the tablet runs smoothly like butter. Now the only problem i encountered is that the delivered USB cable is showing some signs of tearing at the side of the micro-USB pin after becoming suddenly yellowish in color after the last charges. My question is which USB cable should i buy now for the original charger of my note tablet to have the same power supply as before, considering that it has to provide 2A and 5,3V. I hope you can help me out on this task and i m looking fwd to your answers.
Unless I'm misunderstanding you, any micro USB cable will work with your charger. Some companies advertise gold plating, cables specifically made for charging, or faster/optimal charging speeds, but any cable will work. I've used about 5 different cables with my tablet and my phone. All of them were just lying around the house.

do yourself a favor and don't cheap out. those 5/$5 cables have crappy connectors and fall apart quickly if they even charge at all and usually dont carry data. Anker's cables are great, and not overly expensive. I haven't had luck with nylon braided cables either, stick to rubber i would say

I'm using a PowerGen 3AMP Charger & Motorola MicroUSB Cable... Nothing else seems to charge fast enough, and I have a bag full of 20 broken MicroUSB cables... I panic and think my MicroUSB Port on my phone is broken each time, but if I buy a new cable, things are fine. The Motorola MicroUSB cables are the most durable it seems...

Stock whatever came in the box when I got the s3. Wouldn't want to mess with any other chargers not made for my phone it could result in my battery exploding. Read somewhere using different charger can cause that.
Im in the middle of looking for a good combination. My 2yr old broke the USB cable so I've been looking for one that does the job. So far they suck.
Any inexpensive suggestion would be nice.

I'm using my Kindle charger and some random 1Amp charger I bought for like $1.60 on eBay. Nothing's exploded yet. I dunno about fast charging, I just charge mine at the end of the day and have no hurry (thus, sometimes I use the Kindle charger if I'm lazy).

I use the charger from my galaxy tab 10.1. Works great. No problems. Charges me up about twice as fast as the phone's charger will.
I bought this from ebay, and it works well - charges pretty fast. 100% in less than 2 hours I'd say.

I have bought an HTC charger before thinking it would be the same, but it's not. It charges really slow.
In short, stick w/ the Samsung charger.

Look for a charger that's rated at least 1A (1000mA) and is not from a generic manufacturer. Read: Samsung, Apple, Motorola, HTC, HP, Amazon. I personally do not like others. Watch out for fakes, esp if you buy an Apple charger.
Buy a 28/24awg or thicker micro USB cable. Monoprice (can be found on Amazon) has some and I believe Medialink cables are 24/20awg, which is even better. Remember at least 24awg on the voltage carrying lines, a lower number is better.

The problem with the cables is that they rarely specify the thickness of the cable. You pretty much have to eyeball it from the pictures.
But Great advice. Gonna keep that in mind on my next purchase

28/24 awg, gold plated connectors, ferrite cores, $1.40. Doesn't get a whole lot better than this. http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5458&seq=1&format=2
My USB cable charger cord that came with my P-600 is starting to loosen up. You know, when you have to adjust out so it's in the slot just right in order for it to charge. I know that you can't use just any AC adapter combined with just any USB cord to get the power needed to charge a tablet fast and efficiently. Are there any recommendations out there for a new AC adapter and/or USB cord that has been proven to work well with this tablet? (Besides buying a replacement from Samsung.)
Thanks.

Cant recommend anything specific but remember the note 10.1 2014 uses a 5.3 v charger (and not a 5v charger like most smartphones)

Right. I think most smartphone chargers won't even be able to charge a tablet at all because a tablet, any tablet, needs more power (volts) to charge it effectively. I've tried using my Galaxy S3 charger to charge my Note 10.1 just to see if it would work and it shows the charging icon with a line through it (doesn't charge at all).

Any charger will work, but the higher-wattage ones will charge faster. Samsung ones are available all over the place AMZN/FLEABAY/A4C/etc. for cheap (<$10).
My original charger and a supposed duplicate purchased later seem to be charging slower as time goes by. Just as with my last purchase have read a good bit. But I too need advice on the best safe but fast charger and cable. I'm seriously considering the above recommendation for the Anker 40w (8A) 5 port charger. At most I charge only two devices at one time and usually only one. But if this is solid and reliable, the extra ports are ok. Before ordering, several questions:
- I notice the write up states two ports have the IQ charging - is this the case and are they labeled?
- I'd be charging my LG G3 with this too - any issues doing this?
- Lastly, seems cable length/gauge can affect charging speed, right? Which cables are folks having best experience with? I'm considering: http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Premium...ref=lh_ni_t?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A294P4X9EWVXLJ. I prefer long cables if possible...
Bottom line, want a solid charger and cables for my Note 10.1 2014 Edition (and LG G3 if possible) that I won't have to replace in 6-12 months. If there's a two-port of same top quality, let me know too!
Thanks in advance!!

Went ahead and ordered the Anker charger and instead, am trying the http://www.amazon.com/Hi-mobiler-Go...8252875&sr=8-2&keywords=28/24+micro+usb+cable. See it's 28/24AWG hopefully will do the trick...only worried about the gold plating (ones tried before from Amazon seemed to get "lose" their prongs and slip out of my tablet's charging slot). Not sure if it's the gold being softer or ?
In any case, do let me know if anyone thinks the charger would create any issues if used on my LG G3!

All 5 ports are IQ.Charges a Note 10.1 2014, S4, Note 3, Z blue tooth headset and a LG tablet all at the same time and all quickly and fully. Great charger.
I found an issue with the Anker and one of the half a dozen devices of all kind I charged with it.
The touchscreen of my Huawei Tablet acts weird when connected to the Anker. This is a not uncommon thing, but first time i encountered it. And found the reason.
The Anker emits some weak 80v AC current on the GND line. Tested with another brand name charger(One for All, the universal remote maker). That one carried 20 Volts. My previous fav charger also emits AC, like with the Anker, the Texture of the tablet's aluminium case felt rougher during charging, when softly brushing over it with a finger tip. Only there were no touch troubles. Which can be avoided by touching the metal frame with your thumb during tapping the screen.

Is there any concern with this potentially causing damage, or just an inconvenience if plugged in while using the device (if one's unit was emitting that current)?
In my case, I haven't noticed this with either my Note 10.1 or LG G3. My guess is if it hasn't happened after a month or two, I don't need to be overly
concerned - the unit is functioning properly?
Personally, overall been happy with the Anker and haven't noticed any issues...
Thanks!
I had no damage so far, and the Note is happy with the Anker. And it seems that many or most chargers seem affected, like at least three of mine. Probably Samsung's too. Connect a multimeter to Usb 5v ground(the metal shield of the plugs seems to be griunded, though I tested with the plug for my Huawei tablet. Connect the meter's ground probe to something appropiate, like central heating, water pipe or the third line of the mains, which should be "protective ground" or something.
The current only produces a slightly bitter taste on the tongue, near nothing, but it's amazing how the feel of a metal surface changes.
Hello xda members, i have been experiencing a problem on my tablet Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Android version 4.3 since the past month. It does not charge as usual and a red cross pops up on my battery icon indicating slow charge. I don't know if it's the adapter or usb cable which is causing this, but I tried a set of new charger and cable ( Sony brand ) and still I get the red cross.
What do you advise me to do?
Do i install an app from the store to check if my battery is causing this or do I need to try charging it with a new original adapter and usb cable?
Thank you and awaiting your reply.
The red cross only indicates that the tab is not recieving enough power and even if energy is coming in, it is not enough to charge while using. Understanding this, anything can be cause for the current not being enough:
The adapter could be damaged.
The adapter you are using is not the samsung one and thus is giving less Amperes(Out tab needs 2A and most adapters give 850A-1A).
The cable is damaged.
The cable you are using is not prepared to transport 2A.(This happens to me with the chromecast ones)
The microUSB port on the tablet is damaged. An indicator may be the tablet overheating like crazy when charging but this is not probably because when this happens the device, in most cases, takes energy or not.
I personally find that the cable, if you are using samsung's adapter, is most commonly the problem. Using a cheap cable or a damage cable causes this for most of the tabs I have known.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for replying mate, actually I'm using both original samsung adapter and cable which came in the box.. I will be heading to some shops looking for a Samsung cable and see whether it resolves the problem or not.. What is weird is that sometimes it has the red cross and sometimes it doesn't. Yesterday evening it was slow charging and this evening it was normal charging.

It happened to my brother, he changed cables and changed from light socket and he said he had no more problems; he also may have cleaned the usb that goes into the adapter; ol' "blowing nes carthige" style. I would recommend getting a Q-Tip with alcohol and cleaning every metal part you see in your cables, speacially the 4 metal bands inside the male and female usb port from the adapter and the cable(remember to let it dry before pluggin it again).
BTW, it must be a good cable but it is not necessary for it to be a samsung one. If you have a good phone around and can use that cable, it should be fine(I use a motorola defy one which had a 850mA adapter and it works marvelously; "meh" cellphone but the accesories are darn good), just dont use other adapters because of the Amperage difference.
Also, if you are using any kind of extensions, specially usb port extensions, don't. They are a sure culprit of the problem you are experiencing. I dont know why but these cheap electronics really affect the energy passing through; maybe its the cheap copper or bad solder.

I bought my original LeMax 2 in the US and got a USB-C charger and cable (both sides), so I had to find and deal with a wall plug replacement at home.
It's worked fine and is still working, even if the US->EU adapter is somewhat large, at least *after* I found out that I wasn't reversible (despite USB-c) at the charger side (but reversible at the phone side).
Le next (sorry but 'le' is 'the' in French and it's soundy very silly to say 'the Le') Max2 I bought for my son and that came with a US charger, a flimsy US->EU adapter and a USB-A to USB-c cable: That charger and the phone no longer seem able to negotiate proper voltage levels, but the problem seems to be more with the cable, as it works with another USB-A to USB-c cable. This original cable is a bit odd anyway, as it is actually reversible at the USB-A (non-c) side.
Since I wanted to cut down on the risk of electrocution and my son borrowing my charger I bought him an Anker QuickCharge 3 compatible charger from Amazon (https://www.amazon.de/Anker-PowerPo...79601842&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+quick+charge+3). Works perfectly and very quickly.
And then I went full steam ahead and bought another Anker charger to consolidate my sockets, since I have quite a few Androids and was running out of outlets (or rather daisy-chaining extension chords and sockets to nightmare levels):
https://www.amazon.de/PowerPort-Hoc...79601842&sr=8-5&keywords=anker+quick+charge+3
This one is a bit pricy but allows for quite a bit of consolidation, while it also offers at least one QuickCharge port.
And once you've tested QuickCharge, it's difficult to go back
It's full metal and feels very solid. Hopefully it also doesn't waste power unless it is actually charging.
Ask me again in a year or two if they fulfilled their quality promises without killing any phone or tablet
This has been bugging me for a few weeks now and I've been getting rather upset at the thought of returning my phone thinking there is something wrong with the charge port. Every (all three of mine) USB-C cable eventually slides down off the port just enough to make it kind of loose or wobbly. But there's good news, apparently it is designed that way to prevent what is called a 'friction fit'...
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/phone-by-google/a4nlyABPKJ0
This could be a cop-out too, I've had some USB mini cables that were less than stellar. As for now though, it's comforting thinking it was made that way.
