as the title asks, i ahve so many USB cables lying around, and most (if not all) work with connecting device to pc for syncing and transferring data, but can any cable be used for flashing or does it have to be the one it came with? if so, how do i identify it?
any help appreciated
bumped for urgency and importance.
any cable works.. as long as it syncs it should do the job
thx for reply. as long as there is no risk with doing it thats great. i just dont want to get half way through and it fail on me or sumthing. lol
thx again
any cable will work ... but BE SURE TO USE THE SAME CABLE (ie connection)
dont change to a different cable (because that will be a different usb port)
so i should say port is important not cable... but in your case just use the one cable
and do read the pdf

For charging there must be a connection (short) between two pins in mini-usb, imo pin 4 and 5 (not shure!).
Some newer firmwares have a selectable option ´load by usb´, this will be able to charge w/o the short.
???????

When you connect the USB cable to the computer, do you see any changes near computer clock (small icon trying to connect)? have you installed ActiveSync?

It will charge your device but verrry verrrrry slow...
I had several devices and from my experience (hours of installs and spending time with the device connected to my pc) usb charging stinks

This is my opinion,too...
If you are traveling and need to use GPS, but maps are loaded on a external card and you have your viewpad charging on lighter outlet.
or (my case) you have some serious amount of text to write and you need the keyboard connected as well as your wall mount charger....
Is there any known way to connect the battery charger and a peripheral as keyboard or usb mass storage device at the same time?
I'm thinking about some surgery to the usb-to-miniusb converter that I use to connect my desktop type keyboard to the viewpad, but don't know what could happen to the usb device or the keyboard. Neither know which of the 5 pins (contacts) of the charger is the active one...
Any suggestions?
Tnx in advance.
anothe question....
Ok... since there is no answer over 24hrs, I'll make another question to make this a little more interesting for you people could help me...
Is there any chance to connect a keyboard (already working) plus a SD card at the same time??
I'm making some fun stuff with a keyboard and making some surgery I could install some kind of "external USB Port" on the keyboard.... but, should it work?? I mean, keyboard and flash memory together, connected to one-single miniUSB port....
Developers.... any suggestion??
Thnx again...
Forgett to say.... on Viewpad7 with FROYO 2.2.1
Another idea
Ok, easy people... That bunch of comments about my topic make s me feel kind dizzy...
Just kidding....
Making some research (on goggle, haha!!), I've found that USB port on a pc have a 5volt-500mA output... So, if that's nominal out and that power could charge the viewpad AND don't turn on smoke any peripheral, Then I just have to connect power out on a wall-mount charger to the 1st pin (wire) of a 5 contact miniUSB, regarding on the power out put on 500mA.
(thanks isIran for your assistance )
now... PLEASE SOMEONE STOP ME IF I'M HAVING SOME IDIOTIC, TABLET BRICKING, IDEA!!!!
Thnx again
Hi,
The Viewpad wall charger have a non standard conector, if you look in the contact part you will see double connection.
In the main charger body you will find the pinout:
Pin 1 & 6 +, pin 5 & 10 -
These pins (6&10) are longer than the data pins to ensure that the power connections mate first and un-mate last.
The wall charger is 2 A and the USB PC port only 0.5A (0.9A for USB3)
For this reason a wall charger change in 2 hours and a PC USB in 15 hours.
A dedicated USB charger should short the 2 data lines together. The device will then not attempt to transmit or receive data, but can draw up to 1.8A
for this reason the device know when it's connected to a computer or to a dedicated charger (like a Garmin GPS)
Probably modifiying a connector (or keyboard) to provide energy and data will work.
Did you try a USB hub?
Less us know the result of your experience.
cheers
You could solve the keyboard problem by using a bluetooth keyboard and you can charge the tab on the USB port at the same time.

Right, this solve one problem, but is much expensive and less fun... Besides, didn't solve the flash drive plus charger issue...
About pins 6 &10... Just noticed that (in over a year never look that closer the charger pin).
I'll try usb hub, but I'm afraid to burn some flash drive or worst...
Thanx for your interest and helpful advice...
Can someone explain to me, why I use a long USB cable can not charge the phone while I was busy ben.Bij ics was not because he did just load.
i don't understand your question.. can you perhaps elaborate more on your situation that way we can also give you a more detailed solution?
EDIT:
If you mean: your cable is not working because it's not genuine, then i highly suggest you use the original Samsung cable.. as not to put your device at risk
I hope this helps

use only genuine cable bro
Use any non-cheapskate cable and it will work well.
All microUsb cables are genuine (since it's an open standard) but must ones are of doubtable quality and not capable of powering more than maybe 0.2Amp (the phone uses 1 Amp on wall charger)
