Has anyone got any suggestions for the above?
Thanks.
I'm using an LG plug for a non-7 LG Optimus phone (3D/C900/7Q), which seems to work ok. It's 5.1V compared to 4.8V on my european charger, but I checked and the device doesn't get too hot and it charges fine AFAICS.
Mine came from Handtec with a 2 pin Euro type charger, they just sent me a travel plug to go with it. Will any micro USB charger not work? I use whatever's lying around (HTC and Nokia) and they seem to do the job fine.
The original charger is called "LG STA-U14UD" and/or "LG STA-U13UD"
Looks like this:

And is available apparently from ebay sellers like this and this.
Here and here are examples. No affiliation.
Also for completeness, there's one on Amazon but it doesn't have a USB cable plug, it's wired:
Mine arrived from Germany to the UK with the LG STA--U13ER European 2 pin charger. The seller had included a two pin to UK adapter. Works OK and saves me taking an adapter when I work in Europe.

Just got my charging cradle from the US ($29.99 inc p&p about £16 all in). Not bad, only issues are if you have a case its a little difficult to slide into the cradle. Allows sync and charging (Supplied with 2 pin mains US charger) but will charge from the USB port (USB cable suppied).

Which version of the StarTrek do you have?
I have the Cingy 3125 and it's stated that it is not compatible with it. Might be the bigger battery that the 3125 has?
Charging Cradle
Beware... although some people have forced their 3125 into that cradle, many have discovered damage to the connector inside their phone.
This cradle was not designed to work with the extended battery and hopefully a newer version will be out soon.

Take my word for it having used it, it is not currently designed to work with the 3125, but does work well with the Qtek 8500 and Smartflip models. Its because of the thicker battery and alignment with the male connector in the charger and the female end in the device.
I bought a cradle for mine and it does not work for some reason.
Exists cradle with the charging additional accumulator!

Charger
Is there actually a way of getting this charger and not buying this stupid knock off?
I also like the charger.
Man, i want this charger so bad. I take it no one has had any luck?
I tried everything, I emailed anyone and everyone who listed a phone with this silly charger. Not one of them would sell me the charger without the phone.
I even tried telling them how terrible these phone are and just send me one of the chargers from a return. It didn't work.
Charger FOUND
.....oh wait.....
I FOUND IT! muhahah
thank me guys =)

It simply doesn't charge at all.
any possible solution to convert the device and stuff?

Thanks a batch !
Are you sure the device actually works? (Confirm it on another phone)
My APC charger works flawlessly.
If it does, please measure the resistance (Ohm) between the 2 middle pins on the connected cable and post the result here.

thank you so much for mentioning that word mate
I have misplaced my original micro USB cable and charger.
I just ordered and received what I think/hope is an authentic Samsung cable and charger. I have plenty of aftermarket cables but I wanted to get the real thing to increase the odds that CASUAL/No You Verizon will work when I try it.
The items look/feel real. However, on the end of the cable that has the micro USB connector that plugs into the phone, there is no pin in position #4.
(refer to this diagram for pin positions: kineteka.com/Media/Default/Page/micro-usb-b.jpg)
Can someone verify if their original cable has a pin in position #4?
I understand that pin #4 isn't actually needed for charging/syncing, but this will help me determine if what I got is actually a genuine Samsung cable.
Thanks!
There is no position 4 pin on mine.

Thanks so much for responding AND for posting a pic!
That looks exactly like mine. I think I got the real thing.
Thanks again!
I have bought this charger which I thought was UK... It seems it's US plug even if we have 220v compare to 110/20V in the US... But I was using a UK to EU adapter causing the seems to be original charger ti have a hell of slow charging and sometimes even drain if i was using tunein while charging... I wanna ask that by using a wrong adapter I'm loosing power or just that this charger sucks? Thanks

Hard to say, if it is a LG charger for the G3 it should work, but the adapter could be bad too. We travel a fair amount and find it is always best to invest in good quality adapters.
I have had problems with 500 ma chargers doing the same thing, charging really slowly and discharging slowly when using the phone. I can't see what the specs are on the adapter, it should be 1A Output at 5V.
No, it should be 1.8A
The charger is 1.8A but the adapter is cheap...
