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.

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.
i bought a blackberry cable from best buy... data and charging... 16 bucks. but when ever your puppy ate your data cable in the middle of the night and you're phone is at 30% battery, ya tend to pay for it...

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.
The USB wire the comes in the box was way too small for my liking, so i needed a longer wire, and I figured I might as well buy another wall outlet for travel or just for the heck of it. And I could not find a decent wire for under $5, until I came across this.

They are out stock on the Black Wall USB plug.
The only downside was the S+H, it was $6.60. So I ordered 4 wires, and 2 plugs ($9.74). Total came to $16.34, which is not bad as I could not find anything even close on Amazon.
The combination work perfect. I have attached some pictures below. (Note: All pictures were taking with SGSII, EXCEPT the picture with the SGSII in it, that was taken with a Nexus 4G.)
Just wanted to let everyone know in case someone also wanted to buy one of these.
lucky for me i dont have to pay s&h with monoprice, they're awesome regardless though. I live 5 minutes away from their dist. center so i can just pick up
Funny thing, the 10' cable is cheaper than the 6' in OP.
Also, this phone comes with the exact charger that my Droid Charge came with, but the DC came with a much longer cable.
I've got about 5 of those same wall chargers (in black). Be careful unplugging them, as 3 of mine have all left one of the prongs in the WALL SOCKET when I unplugged them. I notified Monoprice customer service, and they're sending me replacements, but they'll be of the same design.
I hope they change the design soon, because right now both of the prongs are just held on by a piece of solder. One too many tugs and they come right out. So once you plug it in, leave it!
Thanks, I just ordered one of the 6ft cables
Awesome! Exactly what I was looking for. Got 3 cables, 1 wall charger and 1 car charger.

Are monoprice good quality cables? The supplied cable with the epic touch is just.. ridiculously short. The block.. charger.. thing is fine, I just want a longer cable! I found some longer OEM chargers as well that I was thinking of getting off Amazon.

Either way its no big deal, just dont want to end up frying my phone because I cheaped out on cables lol.
also, for anyone looking for a car charger, ive read great things about:

i plan on getting that myself, waiting to hear some feedback on the monoprice cables first though, otherwise ill go with the samsung oem charger i posted above
YESS, those chargers are amazing... i purchased 10 last year, when they were like $1 each... dey are so amazing, i onli broke 2 so far, n that was my fault.... dey charge the phones super fast, n love the blue light....

I bought this one since it is an official Samsung charger, for cheap ($5):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001UB279A
But I bought it using the link shown below - the "buy all items" showing the Samsung car charger, Samsung regular charger + USB cable, and Samsung extra USB cable for $10 total.
Bear in mind - the USB cables are all the shortie length cables.
The car charger seems nice, has a spiral cord of decent length - same as my old Motorola charger.

Since I have not seen anyone answer your question, yes, monoPrice is an excellent site for great and cheap cables. Highly recommend them. Also, since you are coming from a BB, that is the brand of home/office charger that I always use... The foldable blade BB micro USB chargers that put out 5V worked perfectly on my Evo 4G and current Evo 3D... Looking to use that for my Epic 4GT when I get that in a couple days

I got one of those $2.28 wall blocks for my girlfriend's 2nd gen ipod touch. She was delighted because ipods don't come with wall chargers. At least the 2nd gen didn't. Apple trying to be "green" and crap.
Is there any risk using these non-Samsung chargers. Yes, they also put out 1000mA, but do they auto-shut off once the charging is complete, etc?
just a heads up the wall/usb charger plug has been discontinued
anyone know of another 1000mA option?

No risk using non-Samsung as long as you get one from a reputable brand or company. After all, the included chargers are usually POS and still get the job done. No offense, but the charger in the OP looks to be very cheaply-made. And I have to wonder if the components inside reflect that. If you invest in a higher quality charger now you will still be using it 3-4 phones later, if not longer, and they will pay for themselves. Same goes for cables.
Monoprice is awesome. When working in the A/V field I lost count how many hundreds of their cables and adapters I used. Several levels of quality usually available, at great pricepoints.
I've been using a Rosewill 4-port wall charger for a few years and it's been problem-free. Puts out 2 amps.
I am looking for a really long charging cable. I know about mediabridge, however I am looking for something longer. It needs to be minimum of 8ft. It needs to be a high speed charging cable. Data is nice but not necessary. HTC's OEM cable is amazing, but I need a cable which is at least 8ft. I have looked at previous forums for this and have not found anything, that is why I am posting. PRICE IS NOT A CONCERN, I'll pay $20 for such a cable, it just needs to be good and high quality and have rapid charging. Thanks.

You really gotta search some more. Amazon has GREAT cables, but mediabridge is probably the best. I have a few of these myself. How are you saying that you need longer cables? Mediabridge has a 10ft cable and you said you only need a 8ft one? Also, rapid charging is mostly a concern of the charger itself and not the cable (unless the cable quality is absolute crap).
Yeah it may be easy to find long cables, but it's not so easy to find ones that charge as well/fast as the short, authentic HTC ones. I'd also be interested in this - did anyone already buy and experience a quickly charging, long cable?

Placebo. Wires don't charge faster or slower. You might have a better connection or so with a gold plated connector, but it's no different if the wire is from china or if it's an authentic HTC one. There is LITERALLY no difference between the original HTC wire, the mediabridge 10ft wire, 6ft wire, or the coiled 2ft wire all of which I own at least when we're talking about charging time.

There is a difference. My eBay 6ft wire charges about 3-4x slower than the authentic HTC one. 8-9hrs vs 2-3hrs is no placebo.
My bad, I should clarify. There is no difference between real, quality usb wires. Like I said, you brought a crappy cable from eBay. You can google this if you're so inclined. There's no difference between two real usb cables. Also, "real" usb cables often have the usb certification logo on them.
Tldr; buy from a reputable seller that has good reviews. Should be little to no difference in charging.
Protip: Don't buy usb cables longer than 16ft
That's better - I didn't know there was such thing as USB certification. Basically don't trust eBay unless the product is genuine/expensive. Better off going to some big-name company like best buy.
Years ago people were wholly convinced that every and all cables are the same, which is just not true. Somehow some knock-off cables have some slow charging wires or whatever. Don't know how or why, but just a warning that if you buy some random cheap cable off eBay, it might not work nearly as well as a genuine product.

Technically speaking, it all depends on the materials they used and how the wires are enclosed. I would say most of the cables you see are indeed pretty much the same, but I generally do buy things from eBay. It could've just been a fluke. I haven't had to change or buy new usb cables in a while, but in no way would I recommend getting a big-name wire like monster or whatever from your local electronics shop. Amazon should be fine if you read the reviews.
I also recommend Monoprice.com's cables. Variety of cable lengths and great customer service. No point to risk and sift through random eBay or Amazon offerings.
Monoprice 10ft 28/28AWG cable. Using the stock HTC charger. No difference in charging time.

The original cable is not unique. It's just a normal microUSB cable. There are charging-only microUSB cables (often included in external battery chargers) and there are also badly-made cables, but the One's cable is nothing special.

Like I said, placebo. All certified wires that charge + usb transfer should have very minimal differences. You either get crappy cables, or you don't. The only problem I've ever had is the connectors falling apart. Never had a usb cable that charged my phone slower using the same adapter and I've had quite a few different cables from eBay, Amazon, etc.

You'd think people would realize why this is important. Imagine how many devices you would eventually kill with wires of varying draw.

Better check a 5pin USB cable vs a 4pin USB cable... that's probably your problem. I got that all the time with my crappy rosewill cable once that I bought from newegg.
4pin vs 5pin makes a huge difference... especially when an OEM charger is at 2mA rating

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
So, I just picked up a Pixel C to replace my Nexus 10, using the developer discount, and I'm really annoyed that I can't get started rooting it yet as I have no way to connect it to my computer. If you're going to put out a device that uses a brand new connector standard, the least you can do is include a cable for those who haven't owned any usb-c devices before. I wouldn't even have minded a straight usb-c to usb-c cable, as unlike most, I actually have a couple usb-c ports on the new PC I recently built. But instead all I get is a dedicated charging cable. Who the hell makes dedicated charging cables anymore???

I can definitely see where you're coming from. You would think with as much as they charge for the C, they could at least throw in a short cable. Fortunately, I have a 6P, which came with a (very short) data cable. I remember people were upset when they found out the 5X didn't come with a data cable either.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure you check out Benson Leung's profile on Amazon to see which Type C cables are within proper specs: http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A25GROL6KJV3QG/ref=cm_cr_rdp_pdp
He even fried his Chromebook Pixel while testing a cable that was not within proper specs. So I would definitely recommend getting one he has positively reviewed.
I personally bought this one he reviewed: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010VFFU1W?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00
Haven't had any issues with using it on my 6P thus far. Luckily, the prices of these cables have dropped since more companies are making them.
I was annoyed that it didn't have one in the box when I opened it yesterday (I just wanted to unlock the bootloader to get that out of the way), until I remembered I could use the one from my Nexus 6p, albeit very short. Well after one PC refused to even turn on, I tried the other older one and after getting the SDK tools installed, it wouldn't recognize the Pixel in ADB or Fastboot so I gave up and just joined the N beta.
The captive cable is annoying as well. I have the OEM charger that shipped with my 6p, and purchased the 2 port charger from Google before Benson started reviewing 3rd party items on Amazon (I wanted to be sure it would work and not damage anything so I went straight to Google). I actually haven't purchased a charger for work (really don't need to charge my phone at work, just have a charger in the bedroom, living room and car) but I have the Pixel charger here at work now. I was thinking it would be nice if it wasn't a captive cable because then I could charge my phone from my tablet with a double ended USB C cable. Still an option with the cables I have at home, but it would have been nice.

+1 for this cable. I got it to use in my car as a charger due to the length and the braided cover. I haven't used it for data transfer/flashing but it's a very good cable and has the same satisfying click as the OEM cable that came with my 6p.
I agree. I too was disappointed that a cable was not included.
Yeah that caught me off guard. You'd think they'd be trying to get as many C cables out there as possible. Every microUSB product comes with a cable even though most people have dozens, but then they dont ship one with a brand new standard...that's shocking.
Hey, you guys are asking a bit much for only $500 +
Yea it does suck but I grabbed and adapter and a cable off of amazon for like $5-10 each, they were here in a few days.

I should have read this thread before I bought a USB cable. Luckily the force was with me and I chose the one you recommended anyway. Arriving today. :good::good::good::good:
Am totally with you on this. I mean for the past x amount of years you have been supplied with charger which doubles as a data cable. This is probably the first device I have owned where you have a dedicated charger.
Also, as a so called development device, I am really surprised they didn't include the usual charger / data cable set up.
This is my first USB-C device, so that makes it an even bigger pain. I am sure things will change over the years, but for the time being its going to be a case of picking up overpriced USB-C data cables / mirco-usb adapters, etc.
