Hello guys, just got my new s8+ but the charger broke at one end and now i am looking for a new one.
Do they matter? or i can get any cable?
I decided over
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerLine-Pull-up-Resistor-Samsung/dp/B01A6F3WHG
You should be good with that.

In my country, the price is kinda higher, like 10 euros. Thats why i am asking if its any need for this cable or can i go for some basic stuff?
I orange is who I bought from. These days the cables are made good not like how it was when it first started.
I got the anker one, waiting to come tomorrow

Ok just in case anybody cares, got one of these on order from Overstock. Decent deal I'd say, 6.72 including shipping.

There's nothing to correct. The evo uses a micro (type d) connector. The cable on overstock is a mini (type c).

monoprice will have more in stock in the first couple days of september, cheapest around. I'll probably pick up a micro usb cable while I'm at it.

Monoprice rocks. Looks like they aim to have the micro HDMI -> HDMI cables in stock in just under a week. Excitement, I has it.

If you already bought a mini cable, why not get a mini-to-micro adapter?
Nevermind...that was a usb adapter. Why can't I delete my own posts? wtf.
Add the w w w .monoprice.com/products/search.asp?keyword=6973[/url] $4 and change. In stock now
I found out that the Sprint store has the hdmi cord for the video out feature on the evo!!

Lots of places online sell them for a lot cheaper than Sprint. I know ebay has them for very cheap. I bought a 10 foot HDMI-microHDMI cable on ebay for less than $15....

Was there a time they didn't have it? It's an accessory for their phone, it's always been there.

It wasn't available for like..a month.
Monoprice has the best prices on them.
Sprint price for their relabeled Chinese crap: $500
MONSTER Cable: $250
Sprint cable, from eBay and without the Sprint/HTC label: $15
Better cable from eBay: $10
Have fun wasting your money.
(In case you can't tell, yes, this is an exageration, but the point remains the same.)
I think this is the right cable from monorpice:

my monoprice cable has a flaky connection which causes my video output to be intermittent. I'm not sure if its the cable or my 2 week old evo.. please let me know if you get one from monoprice.

i had the same problem with my monoprice cable. Went to their site and did an rma, they send me a new one for free and told me to keep the old one. the new one works much better. With a connector that small, if its off my a few micrometers it could make it loose.

Thanks... i just submitted an RMA. I tried the cable on another EVO and had the same issue, so I'm pretty sure it's the cable...
Can someone recommend where to buy the proper cable for connection to the Xoom so that one can connect USB devices? I've bought two so far, and the first one was the right connection to the Xoom, but didn't have a tight enough contact point. The second one did not supply enough power to the device.
TIA
This cable works great. Mine came yesterday.

I can't say which one to get, but I can say: do not go with the ones at meritline.com. They say OTG, but they're just charging cables. (followed someone's advice from another thread and now I'm waiting for one to ship from ebay)...
If you want it fast, and don't mind the price, you won't go wrong with the original Motorola cable: http://www.store.motorola.com/Camer...olor_map,price,size_name&searchRank=salesrank
+1 Using the Motorola cable with no issues. It's expensive but the convenience of knowing it'll work and shipped fast was worth it to me.

Also got this cable. I was quoted 2-4 weeks for shipping, but it only took 8 business days (10 calendar days). The guy even took a picture of the package when he shipped, kinda funny. The cable works perfectly.

Unfortunately, I can also confirm the meritline ones do not work... guess I'm going after the Moto one.
Just got the motorola branded OTG cable at best buy for 20 bux. I know there are cheaper alternatives but those reviews are so hit or miss.

Anyone know where I can find the OEM usb cable that comes with our phones? I can find various OEM Samsung cables but not the ones that are exactly the same as ours...
OEM cable is ****
i dont mean to be a d***k bout your post but was it really that usefull? regardless if its **** or not, thats what im looking for and im asking where i can find it because ive looked through ebay, amazon etc and no go...
Hard to say where you can find that OEM cable. Have you tired Samsung Cellular Accessories on their home page?
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/APCBU10BBEBSTD
$20.00USD, highway robbery...
Just saying.....
Hope thats it because that's what they are selling now.

lol yea it is a robbery... but ive seen that one cheaper at ebay, im looking for the one that comes with the phone... you know, the one that has a squared box around the micro and has a white "usb" icon.... my dog chewed mine so id just like to replace it and keep an original
Good luck with that cable my friend. I don't think you'll ever be able to get one unless you've got a friend in a cell store that will do a B & E for ya on a new box. BTW, if you ever do find one, never use it to ROOT or transfer data. I use it strickly as a charging cable.
Sorry!
lol theres gotta be an online store where i can buy it, i mean i know i can buy any other usb cable but i want one like the one that it came with... and why do you say that? thats the cable i used to do everything to my phone!
Read the forum about rooting your phone, almost everyone who knows anything about rooting will advise you not to use the stock Samsung cable.
Do as you please, its your phone my friend. Just saying.....
It seems a little thin, but I've used the OEM Samsung cable that came with the phone to flash many hundreds of times during testing of ODIN tar packages and Auto Root features. Never had an issue.
I get the picture my friend, you've been lucky from what I have heard but if its not broken, don't fix it. Good Luck in your search and give the dog some food, maybe he won't eat your phone next. jking........

jaja i do, shes just hyper active, and thanks... i just ordered a gold plated 15 ft one but im still searching for the oem... just so i can have it
Well if you give up monoprice.com might be a good place to not get robbed for a cable. I mean paying 5 bucks for Amazon's much longer, much stronger cable is a rip as well but thats the main one I use I also use the OEM one I just cant find it half the time.
I bought HTC OEM USB cables off of ebay for $0.99 each, and they are really good quality. Came from china, and took two weeks, and but worth the wait.

hi, i saw this:

is it good as the original charger?
i wanna be sure its ok and won't make damage to phone's battery or something..
thanks!
Seems this one is an OEM charger. Not original but still good.
Suggest to buy the original one to add $10 rather than brick your $400 handset

While I agree with the other reply that the charger you're speaking of will probably work, I also agree that it's probably better to spare yourself a potential headache and spend the extra few dollars by getting a new original SAMSUNG charger. The reason I say this is because I've learned first-hand about the problems that can arise from buying 'economy' or generic replacement items for basically anything electronic and so I don't go the cheapest route anymore, especially when it comes to computers and smartphones
