Does anyone have a 3rd party charger and/or cable that will work with the TF?
I am also interested in finding that question out. I move around alot, and would like to have an extra charging cable.
Would the cable for the iphone/ipad work?

No Apple cable will work on this device. The Transformer has a proprietary charger interface, so the cable would have to be made specifically for this device.
Similarly, all Apple product chargers use their own proprietary interfaces, so chargers made for iPhones or iPads will only be made to work with iPhones or iPads, not other devices.
And the funny part is that someone responded...

Haha, no iPhone cable would not work with Asus. Last I checked, Asus cable was proprietary as well.
Wait a little, soon someone's gonna dismantle one and they will be anywhere (monoprice, ebay)... (i guess(hope), the apple cable actually is everywhere even if it is proprietary...)

cable no, but the ipad charger itself is 5v 2A. Has anyone tried one, if it works may provide an easy solution for car charger.
I would love an additional cable. I'm going on a trip and I could just see me losing the one and only way to charge the Transformer. Stupid proprietary cables. I still love my Asus Transformer, but we need uniformity.

It is a different size entirely. If you would like me to post a picture I suppose I could, but unless you're going to take a crow bar to your TF to wedge it in and hope the pins magically match, you're SOL. Sorry.
I think he meant the wall charger (the one you plug the usb ipod cable in...)

I believe they're just referring to the charger itself not the apple sync cable. And no that isn't likely to work as the ASUS charger gives out 15V/1.2A on one of the pins unique to USB3
The 6ft USB 3 Male/Female extension cable is now back in stock on monoprice. For those that haven't been reading up, this is essentially an extension to charge your Transformer since the extra pins in USB 3 are used for power.

Any car charger in the market? Off topic but optimumwifi is getting 6mbps down, 10mbps up on this baby.
Bumping this thread. I find it hard to believe (or at least surprising) that this has been out 3 months now and I still can't find any third party replacement cables and/or 15v chargers. Paying $25 for a factory one is simply not something I can do, it just makes me sick to my stomach.
The most important thing I would like to find is the cable. I did buy a monoprice USB extension cable, which at least makes using the device while charging possible - but it is no solution in the case of this factory cable breaking in any way. I always like to have an extra charging cable on hand, and usually pay $1.99 or less for such things for my other phones and tablets.
need cables
@brunes
I agree with you. This reminds me too much of the original asus eee pc. There were no additional chargers nor expansion ssd (mini pcie) available for months. People were coming up with all sorts of work around ideas. Argh.
The idea of not having a replacement cable and charger does make me very uncomfortable. This is really unacceptable, and I hope Asus fixes it immediately.
I have to think about a post I read: just buy a second one and immediately return it with the bad charger if yours goes bad. This seems to screw the retailer, but hopefully Asus covers their cost in these cases.
In any case, it is a bad problem. I wrote my newegg review to exactly highlight this problem.
Not having a replacement cable is not a very comfortable feeling.
Anyway, an iPad charger does work for the tablet. I don't have a dock so no way to test it.
However, I noticed that using an iPad charger, theTF does not chnage the battery icon to charging and it charges a bit slower.

It is charging at 5V. I assume using diodes to charge the cells in parallel instead of series without causing a short. Only other explanation is ASUS put DC-DC regulator in to ramp up the 5V. Only works while off or asleep and is sloooooowww...took me 8 hrs to get 22% charge on 5V USB.
a rabbit just chewed up my new transformer's cable
i emailed asus, but from my googling it looks like i'll have to spend about $40 ordering a replacement cable from a random retailer. sucks!
Check the DIY charger thread link in my signature. With 2 off the shelf parts you can have another charger for under $15.
I lost my sync cable & charger. Is there good oem sync cable / usb charger out there? (Ebay, Amazon...)
Thanks.
there was a guy that reported being able to get it at Fry's (brick and mortar, not from the website).

It's like no one has ever asked this before....
AC adapters seem to be pretty rare, and there isn't a lot of stock out there. You can check the stores that carry the TF (Fry's, Best Buy, etc) and see if they happen to have any, but I wouldn't hold my breath at this point.
I signed up for a stock notification from some website and got notice that they had some in last week. I ordered that evening and they were down to only 26 in stock. Got the charger and cable on Friday.
one of my friend said the sync cable is available at Asus service center.
I will make a phone call to check and get one if it is really available.
The sync cable should cost around $6.
p.s in Taiwan now.
Actually, u dont need to buy the adapter from Asus at all.
Just get a ipad AC adapter would be fine. The out put is 2Ah currency.
Which is acceptable for Asus TF101. I personally use it already.
I believe they are sold at Office Depot.
See hear:

What he said. It's been known for quite some time that the ASUS charger has a 5V 2A circuit AND a 15v 1.2A circuit. The higher voltage circuit is carried on the extra pins provided by a USB 3.0 connector.
An iPad charger will work, but only if the unit is off or in sleep, and it will work very slowly.

there's a US guy on ebay doing the cable-only shipped to the uk for £20, and he threw in a usb F --> F 5.5/2.1 barrel adaptor with mine as a free gift. you'd just need to add a cheap 12v ac/dc adaptor to that.
but needless to say, research and double-check polarities etc carefully before plugging anything in.

It not just the cable, it the complete charger. Yes, still a little more than I'd like to pay.... But the the cheapest price so far, for an official Asus charger.
Charger/cable now available from Asus
http://us.estore.asus.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3613
The charge cable and AC adapter is still out of stock in Taiwan.
I went to the Asus official service center yesterday. They said it would be
available around early Sep.

search ebay for "ASUS Transformer TF101 - USB Connector Cable". it comes up as an international seller item on ebay uk.
note though that asus UK is now doing the cable + original charger for £25 with free shipping which might be a better deal unless you want to also hack together a car charging option.

If you are in the usa you can go to office depot store or website and buy the set (cable and AC) for $30 plus tax, and website shipping free over $50. The website shows status in stores close to your location. In stock means 2-3 and limited stock 1-2.

A PM has been sent.
I found out the other day that my mains charger has stopped working. I have no idea why or how, thinking it could be the phone itself, but it still charges on the usb cable that I leave plugged into my Xbox to charge instead. This is inconvenient because of the length of the wire and the slowness in which it charges.
Is there a solution to this or a little trick to get it to work? Because I have no idea why it's broken or not charging my phone.
Not the end of the world anyway because I found one on ebay for £3.49 which I'll get if I have no answer to this. Thank you in advance

Try a different charger. If you had to find one on eBay, I have to assume you don't have another handy. Borrow one from a friend or something. If it still charges via USB, it sounds as if the AC charger failed for some reason. 3 pounds for a new charger isn't that much.
Hi All,
I was searching for USB Dock for Note and found THIS on eBay.
for only $6.78 + Free Shipping :laugh:
I saw many of THE SAME docks going for $19.99 - $24.99 on eBay and Amazon,So this is definitely a good Deal IMO.
One Another Good thing is Economy International Shipping is also cheap on this.
only $1.99 to INDIA in my case. So gifted one to my buddy!!!
I dont know if I plug in MHL cable in back and use it as HDMI Dock
That would be awesome
-----------------------------------------------What Works and What Dose not------------------------------------------------
1. MHL Cable : NO (You can not connect MHL cable behind the Dock to do HDMI out )
2. Data X'fer : YES (You can simply attach your data cable to Computer to Transfer files to/from Phone)
3. USB OTG : ??? (Dont why know anybody would do this but i will check it tonight see if it works!)

Thanks for sharing this! great buy. just ordered one.:good:
Thx, bought.
I ordered one too.. I am going to check if the dock is actually charging my Note as "AC" instead of "USB".
I ordered a cheap dock and battery charger (brand is Hyperion --> here) and it charges my Note in "USB" mode. Not only it takes longer, but the Note have issue such that with USB charging, the Note will stop going to Deep Sleep (search XDA for this) when unplugged from USB charger and it loses the battery much faster. The only solution is to REBOOT the phone..which is very annoying at the very least.
MHL wont work
Well apparently, this dock is only good for charging / desk clock only.
you can not use MHL cable behind the dock and HDMI out.
It doses charges via MHL cable but dose not do HDMI out.
I know tht part sucks the most, but that is what it is.

Really? I have the same dock as you, but my dock doesn't charge my phone in USB mode.
I just found this out yesterday, but: if you have a spare battery and want to charge that and your phone, use the right port to charge both.

With this dock, it only gives up to 500mA. Samsung and HTC OEM charger give 1100mA.
Also, I tried the charger with both the International Note (shown as USB charging) and AT&T (shown as AC charge but gives 500mA).
However, for charging extra battery it is indeed useful.

Oh ok! That's really helpful info. Also, I thought you meant that there was an actual "mode" that the phone went into charge.
Do you know if the official Samsung dock charges gives 1100mA?
Have you tried using different cables and the samsung wall charger with the cradle? On a previous phone I had an Anker cradle. The wall charger that came with it did the same thing but when I connected my HTC charger to it all was fine.

I have. I even get a replacement dock from the seller and same result. The dock have 2 microUSB port: one for "sync" and the other for "charge" using the included power supplies. I tried connecting one and the other and then even connecting BOTH at the same time (to power supplies, to laptop, etc.)
FYI, the dock have TWO charging capacity: for phone and extra battery. The power supply that came with the dock is rated 1.5mA. I maybe wrong, but maybe the circuitry inside the dock prevent it from receiving more than 500mA to charge both the Note and the battery at the same time?
I don't have the Samsung OEM charger, so I don't know if this is common to all dock.

they may work with dash charge, but they aren't original, you can see it at the connector: https://gyazo.com/861bf8178186a4b49a7b937995537e18 real ones don't have this. not that it's a big deal though.

As long as they work as advertised, I don't really care what brand it is.
Currently, I am waiting for the reply of the seller and then I'll order it.

To confirm me that it really works to load in Dash mode with this charger. That would make it easy to ask for a refund in case it doesn't work.
Unfortunately, I've just missed another promo which made it 11USD.
Thanks for sharing, if it works then its worth it seeing as its a lot cheaper!

The car charger does get hot, indeed. But that's the whole idea of DASH charging -- keep the heat away from the phone battery where it can only slowly dissipate. The car charger is quite sturdy and made (almost) entirely fro metal, so it'll cool down quickly after charging.
I am not sure if it's an issue as I could not watch it too closely while driving but the DASH mode charging seems to have ended around 75% and afterwards it went on with normal mode. Not sure if that's how it is supposed to be as I've never watched my wall charger that closely.

Nice sounds good, I might get one in the future, but on the other hand I also have some referral points over at OnePlus.
They now redirect to another one that should suit better for the one plus 5. The linked one is only for one plus 3/3T. I think I will buy it later and test it.
I just like how I am able to top up my battery while navigating with GPS on. Tried or during a weekend getaway and worked nicely.
