Beware of aftermarket USB cables

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.

Galax Tab Sprint Cable
I have the oem cable and this aftermarket cable from ebay.
I've been using the cable from ebay since I got it.
The cable works fine and is longer.
Again I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab
Ebay Item:

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.

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:
http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=charging+p1000&catId=0
Be sure to use a "gold supplier" if you want to have more guarantee that it actually be delivered.
Thans from another dutch guy who borght his stuff at mobilesupplies.nl for reasonable proces. Two charges a Docking station and a bluetooth keyboard in leather case.

Charging a US N7 in Europe

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

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.

UK Wall Charger Question

I bought my Note 3 from France and therefore it came with an Euro plug.
I purchased a "Genuine Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9000/N9005 Mains Travel Adapter Charger" from Amazon market place. The item arrived today but the model is ETA-U90UWE and has an 5.0v output. Appears to be the charger for the Note 2!
Those who have the official UK charger, can you tell me the model number please?
Thanks in advance.
Exactly the same model number for me bought my BTU N9005 in december. Looks exactly the same as the one i got in the sealed box with my phone.

Thank you for replying.
The model which outputs 2A @5.3v is EP-TA10UWE
The supplier has accepted a return and has advised to send the right charger.
I am not 100% confident these chargers are genuine but rather really good clones. Samsung don't even sell the EP-TA10UWE but they sell the 2A @5.0v ETA-U90UWE for £20!

Genuine s8 wall charger - can't find

Hello
I'm struggling to buy a genuine Samsung wall charger (UK plug). I spoke to Samsung UK who said they don't stock it and it's very hard to know whether eBay or Amazon ones are genuine. Amazon itself isn't selling one either.
I have checked through Samsung genuine part seller sites and they don't stock one. I have got two wireless chargers and need genuine adaptive fast charger to go with one of them.
Can someone help me with info on where to find one.

20W Wireless Charger

Does anyone know where the new wireless 20 watt charger for Note 10+ (with US plug) can be bought from, or at least pre-ordered? It seems unlike the phone itself, it was announced but haven't been made available. Please post links if you've seen an online store that has it for sale.

That would be the one I'm asking about, thanks. It's actually a 20W wireless charger, not 15W. This phone arena link explains the reason it's listed at 15W only is because FCC is slow and lazy, and they don't even have a 20W certification process for wireless chargers, and they only moved from 5W to 15W last year, so they were able to certify the charger for 15W only. Also Roland Quandt, the guy who originally leaked this charger says he's personally witnessed this charger working at 20W charging rate.
best buy have them in stock already you can have it shipped
