Given the price difference, if I buy an N4 while over in the US on business, will it work in the UK on our 3G networks? Are there any technical differences between the two phones (other than the plug for recharging from the wall socket of course!).

No, they are the same, N4 only has one variant. US version is the same as WW version.

OK, great. Would it make a difference to the returns policy if there was a problem with it. Could I return it from the UK to whoever handles it in the UK or is it not a worldwide warranty?
And, is the charger like an HTC one where the plug has a USB socket for the cable meaning I could use my current charger?

It uses the standard micro USB cable but the ac adapter uses a different output voltages. Nonetheless' it will still work.
I think if you will have to sent it back to U.S instead of the UK. I also think you have to return it to wherever you purchased your device.

I picked up a couple aftermarket usb cables of Ebay for my tab so I could connect it at the office and use them in the charger for travel. I realized today I cant connect to my PC when I use the aftermarket cables. Just a heads up
You have to get the cable that matches your tab model. The pin outs are not the same between models.
Where??? I always got my accessories for my phones on Ebay without issue.
I believe what the OP is saying is make sure get charge and sync cable. I'm guessing the one he bought was only capable of charging. Fewer pins to connect = cheaper costs.
The pins are different for different models. When I bought a second cable off ebay, I couldn't get the cheapest, because it wouldn't work for my model. I had to buy the at&t model.
I bought a couple of these usb sync/charge cable recently from the eBay and gad no problems with them. They came with proper boxes wraped up.
If yoy need the link, let me know and i will send it to you.
Thanks.

Just (arrived yesterday) got an after marked cable from ebay, just tried to use it and my Tab appears to shut down (black screen, no response from buttons etc).
Luckily I have my original cable with me but now that's doing the same (into a PC and mains).
Is this a massive coincidence of have I just goosed my beloved Galaxy Tab?
I bought a number of cheap retractable cables from ebay and they all work well for sync and charge.

I really hate that the OEM cables are so dang short. I'd love to find a couple of longer ones.
Sent from Galaxy Tab with XDA app
I use my OEM cable tho it is short, I use my USB cable extension from my logitech wireless mouse, It works just fine.
Of course when syncing I plug it direct to PC
I bought two different from DealExtreme a couple of months ago.
Both are working fine on my Dutch operator-free stock rom Tab.
The cables are a bit thinner then the original but for me works fine both charging and pc connection.
Shipping is free but some packages get lost "somewhere".
So it is just a risk you might want to take.
Only $ 2.90 to lose so for me better then eBay
Example: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/designer-s-data-cable-for-samsung-p1000-1m-length-51931
Bought there very cheap other accesoires as well:

When your at it I think you prefer to order a 2Amp car charger for example as well.
AliExpress also has lot's of items:

Be sure to use a "gold supplier" if you want to have more guarantee that it actually be delivered.

Hey guys, I have a UK Xoom and the backend of next week I am off to New York for a wedding for a week. I want to take my Xoom with me however I am unsure if I can charge it with my UK power adapter. It's obviously rated for 220-240v will the lesser voltage of the US power supply still charge though my current adapter or will it not work altogether? I have no idea how I am going to charge it if I can't use my UK adapter. :-S
Sent from my XOOM using XDA Premium App
Can't speak for a UK xoom. I got, one from the US and use it in australia.
My charger states 100-240v and I can use mine here or in the US....in fact in many countries, I just need a plug adaptor, not a voltage convertor.
not a problem. just get an adapter.

You are quite right, I just asumed it wouldn't work in the US as it was a UK adapter but they do indeed seem to be generic adapters! Mine also states 100-240v, thanks Sickboy.
Hi Guys!
I am pretty new on this forum, although i have been on xda years ago when i used windows mobile. Now i am proudly owner of a Nexus 7 16gb. I got this pre-ordered on the day Google announced it, and got my sister to bring it to me in the Netherlands. I own a C60, with pretty much no flaws except a very tiny screen lift which doesnt bother me.
Well, I started this topic because of the following:
Since I got the US version, it also came with the US wall charger wich doesnt work in the Netherlands.
Therefore i recently ordered a original EU wall charger to charge my Nexus 7. Charging with my laptop takes forever, wich seems to be a common problem with this nexus. Also other wall chargers don't work (dont show charge, or trickle charge. anyways, it takes forever).
Now i got this US > EU converter thing, so i can also use the US wall charger that came with my Nexus.
Since im now i cant post a picture of this converter, but its the first thing that shows up when u google: us eu converter
Only thing i am concerned about is the voltage. I got this simple converter wich only converts the plug type.
I have been told since im going from US (110v) to EU (220v), there shouldnt be any problems charging it using this converter.
But just to be sure, i would like to hear your opinions Is the original US wall charger compatible with 220v?
Thanks a lot!
You will be alright using the adapter. A friend of mine bought the nexus in the US and he uses one of those adapters to convert it to a EU adapter. The flat adapters will work in all of EU the round adapters will sometimes not fit in South European countries like Spain
Sent using my Nexus 7 with Tapatalk
Alright thanks!
So it will not be risky to charge with? I know it will charge with the converter, but is it safe for my Nexus?
Im asking this because i have already ordered a original EU Asus wall charger, it is not like i need it desperately to work.
But if i can use both EU and US charger with converter, it would be very convenient for when im not at home.

No risk at all. The charger will use the amount of power the nexus 7 needs to safely charge itself.

Yes it will Sammy already showed off the back and charging plate
It's got what appears to be five charging pins. Or some charging pins and some pins for something else. Some of the U.S. carriers hid the pins on the N2 in order to disable wireless charging so there's no way of knowing yet who will offer it and who won't.

presumably 2 pins for NFC and 3 for wireless charging
I just don't see the reason for hiding the wireless charging pins, its an accessory you can sell and make money on. Albeit an overpriced accessory that won't fit into standard batter cases but some folks like it.
Thanks guys... I hadn't seen pictures with the back cover off before. Hopefully Samsung will release official Qi flip cases this time

I would think you can get a better deal than that if you're buying those generic brand Chinese ones (which I'll be buying for my Note 2).
Qi pad itself isn't specific to the Note 3. They'll hike the price up when marketing it for the Note 3

I haven't bought mine for my Note 2 yet but I honestly don't see why they wouldn't work..
I know for sure though that they're no different than the $60 set you found.
But the real question is did Verizon muck up the wireless charging pins on the GN3 like they did on the GN2?

They mucked up the GN2 to sell more HTC DNAs (which has WC), VZN added WC to the LG2 so there is the possibility they might try something fishy but who knows. I suspect not since they are releasing the device pretty quick.
According to their site (Verizon), the Note 3 will not have wireless charging. Don't know if it says on the Note 3 page, but do a comparison with the Note 3 and G2 and there is an X on the wireless charging category while the G2 has a check.
Wireless charging on note 3
Fcc filings show there is wireless charging. But that only means it is available on the phone. Whether carriers do something to block that is a whole other story. Why they would want to do that is beyond me since that equates to more accessories being sold
Ta da!

Hey guys!
I can't find the charger for my LG G2 D802! I must have misplaced it but I can't find it anywhere.
Since I won't compromise with the quality of the accessories I use for my phone, I want something that's either the original charger or as good as the original charger. In Denmark we don't have the option to buy cable + wall charger from LG directly.
If you post an EBay link - the seller must be located in Europe. Please help me, I'm generous with the thanks button =)
I use my iPad 2 usb charger and it works great. It's a 2A charger so I can charge the phone fast as well.

Thanks for the link. The ampere and voltage should match the original 100%. Unfortunately, though, it seems like it's sold out :/
I also need the cable. The cable has to be high quality cos flashing stuff/10
Lol i got a quote of 72 USD for an original charger... Denmark.....
I use these guy's products. High quality and very reliable. Good delivery time as well. Only took 5 days to ship from UK to New Zealand.

I bought this cable http://www.dx.com/p/micro-usb-male-to-male-data-flat-cable-blue-150cm-159895#.U47NFzdI3Ns
because its long and seems good and cheap.
Anyway downside of dx.com (not th eEU part) is that you have to wait sometimes a month for the product to get to you.... (luckily after 20 days you can ask them to re-imburse you)
If looking for a charger on this page, or cable or anything... ALWAYS see the one with the most reviews and best rating.
