Does anybody know where I can find a USB cable for my Kaiser that is in the form of a bracelet? I'm tired of being caught without a USB cable when I need it most.
I've found these USB flash drives, but nothing that's just the cable, with mini-usb on one end.
I like this
很不错 我喜欢！
How about one of these bad boys? Sounds like a much more useful and dare I say it, less pooffee solution.

If you get one, let me know how it goes. I'd be interested.
It's a phone charm, Micro SD card reader and mini usb leader all in one.

That's arguably just as poofey. If I went that direction I'd probably pick up this guy instead, it looks a little less bulky.

Granted, it doesn't have the card reader, but why do I need that when I have my phone?
very interesting, this would come in handy while i am at work and i dont wanna carry an extra USB cable around....
This one would probably also work, and dosen't look really bulky.

Good find! This one is my favorite so far.
For those interested in Powermat for the EVO 4g, here's a video showing all...

Wow... I can't believe anybody would buy into that crap.
Don't get me wrong, we've been selling these at Best Buy for ages it seems now, but that seems to be much more of an inconvenience than plugging in a stinkin' cable! You can't even use the phone when it's charging!
Thanks but no thanks. I get a killer discount on those things though...
Looks awesome. I'm going to buy 3 and use 2 for my cars so I can outfit them in the center console. Pretty sleek. I have a friend at BB.
Sent while sitting on the toilet.
yeah i use the evo for the a desk clock when its nap time and this charge mat would not work in its design. and for 60 bux ill pass....
yea, I really dont see the point of these. You still have a plug to plug into the mat, so its not like you are "getting rid" of any wires. And it really only takes a second to plug in the stock cable, not that hard.
its more for the people who just drop thier keys and stuff on a desk when they get to work/office. I tend to use my phone no matter where im at so a cable is where its at.

Presuming you don't need to use the USB port a lot, this can keep you from damaging the charging connector on the phone. Considering the cost of the phone I rather like the idea of this device.
Now can anyone tell me if they make a charging dock for just the battery. On my old Samsung Instinct it came with to batteries, there was a plastic case with a charging port you would put the battery in the case and then charge the 2nd battery through the plastic case while you were using the first battery iin your phone. do you guys know if they make anything simliar for our vibrants? im just tired of constantly having to be around an outlet all day. i dont believe in having a smartphone is you cant use its features. Im not going to turn off gps, wifi, screen brightness etc. whats the point i mine as well go back to 99 and buy a flip phone.

Kinda sucks though, since you already got your spare and this comes with an extra one.

i wonder if ebay has something like that. kinda hefty price (for just a charger in my case) whats a new OEM Battery go for?
Ebay has wall chargers. They usually come with a knockoff battery also. Even if you dont use the knockoff the bundle only costs like $10 so its worth it. I have 2 knockoffs/chargers and though they charge kind of slow the work great as do the batteries.
EDIT: Found one thats the charger only. http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-Charger...474841?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c17ce3759

thanks, thats what im looking for. hows that working for you??i will be using an OEM battery in it
what about this one, kind like i described in my origional post. only thing is, has to be charged on a computer. hmmm.... not realy a problem cause its a backup. opinions guys??
http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Battery-Cha...g kong, i dont know about ordering from there
Got myself a new Transformer. Unboxed. Looks gorgeous, but wait... the two bits that make up the wall charger don't seem to, you know, slot in? It's very loose, and when plugged in doesn't do squat all. No charge. Am I being an idiot and not fitting one piece to the other right, or do I go back to the shop to get a replacement? :/
It snaps together, and when I got mine it was a pretty snug fit. So you may have to apply a little force, but it does snap together.
Right, the problem is that however much force I apply, the thing doesn't want to snap in. I've been googling like mad to see if anyone else has this problem and did find this one chap with the same trouble; he ended up having to ask the shop to swap it.
When I got mine it was already together
I had to press with what I would deem as an 'unreasonable' amount of force to get them to snap together. Just FYI.
Lucky you. Sigh.
I've even tried to charge with my Samsung Tab's wall adapter. No goddamn luck. Fail, ASUS, fail.

Can you take a pic?
I was going to upload the pics, but I followed advice given in another thread and--using enough force I thought I was about to break them--bent the prongs outward. Voila: it now snaps in and charges. Still a bit of a fail on ASUS for not shipping the two pieces already joined, or better yet make the wall adapter a one-piece affair. Ah well!
This happens to everyone. You really need to FORCE it. There's no particular technique that worked for me, just slide and apply a lot of pressure...you only need to do it once, thankfully.
yeah the amount of force required to put that thing together is insane. after about 5 minutes i grabbed something heavy and just started pounding the thing to death with it until it clicked in lol
That is the one area of the transformer that has disappointed me so far, the charging systems. I didn't understand why the unit wasn't assembled in the box... why I can't charge via usb...and why the cable is so short.
Other than those gripes, I love this thing!!

Seriously the cable length is ridiculous
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Heh, I wedged a coin between the prongs to bend them a bit. Thanks everyone for the suggestions, though.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab's cable is also stupidly short. A trend, I guess?
Mine took some force but it wasnt like i had to stand on a table to make it work.

I could see pre-joined but not a one piece affair. I like that its modular because that means you could get plug adapters that could make it fit any country you move to. This is how it should be with mobile devices.

Apparently so is the Iconia's cable. Very strange, as if they expect us to build a little charging stand next to an outlet just for these Android tablets. Somewhat easily solved with a USB 3.0 extension cable, but it's an ugly solution (at least for me, my extension is blue).
not assembled because it's modular and different countries have different adapters. They are wrapped separately and the only variable in the box.
Also, the oem ipad adapter should provide plenty of oomph to charge and comes with a long cord from outlet to charging unit. Again, not as nice and neat as a normal two piece charger and cable, but neither as the add one. Plus, the apple one is modular too and can take a regular one piece like the one on the asus if you don't need the extension cable or if someone comes out with a longer stock cable.
Weird, mine came already assembled from Best Buy.
I do remember my GTablet came with the adapter apart, but that was easy to put together.
Hell I didn't even know it was in 2 peices, got mine yesterday from Newegg and it was already together. Yes the cable length is a joke but I heard about that earlier this week and ordered a 6 ft USB3 cable extension from monoprice for like $4 and it got here today and using it now to charge mine and it's working fine, highly recommended!
Yeah mine was pre-assembled, got mine Monday of this week (and it was brand new stock). Maybe they're doing that on the newer units. I have no idea how I'd ever get it apart if I needed to, I tried and the two pieces are very tightly attached.
The cable... yes the cable is crazy-short. So if you want to use a USB extension, it has to be a USB 3.0 one?
May sound odd but its the only reason why i like iphone is the accessories and im looking for one that will work on nexus s one thats a case that connects to the micro usb slot and has solar panels on back to charge phone at same time seen plenty for iphone but thats it and i hate these ones where u need usb cable and is something u only get out when needed because they look bad so a case with solar panel on back is all i want and plus protects the phone
If anyone knows of anythin be nice let me know thnx
