bamp. am i worrying about nothing?

Have you tried the one from monoprice yet? I have one of their cables as well(10ft) and the plug is exactly the same as your picture. I used it on my OG evo and it worked. The only problem was it was a really tight fit and I felt like it was going to rip my usb port out when I removed it.(It happened to my friends evo so I know its possible) Needless to say I only used it once and thats it.

its pretty tight, plugging in and out.
im keeping a close eye on it.

It will work fine...
And yes its safe to use....

Hemmm i've forget a thing..
The PDA Charges only 1 time at boot.. why?
I've cortocircuited pins 1 and 2, with the male usb jack in front of you and the white plastic in the low side.
very nice ... what's the usb port for?
The phone will only charge once because you will need to short pins 4 and 5 on the mini USB side of your connector.
To simplify, the TyTN looks for this short to decide what to do with the USB connection. You need to trick it into thinking that the USB cable is a charger.
There's another thread on this somewhere else. It might be a bit difficult to solder, but it'll work.
Oh. One more thing: Your phone will charge more than just the once (after a reboot)... It should also charge if it's turned off (standby). Might take a minute or so, but it should work.

HTC wall charger from expansys??

Hi.
Expansys is selling a wall charger for HTC Shift. I was going to buy it but if you see the photo the jack isnt the correct one. So....Is the image wrong or are they selling a charger for other product?. I ve called twice and the operator is trying to contact HTC but no answer until now.....
Any idea?

The photo is the second section of the charger for the OQO e2
Expansys mixes up their photo's all the time....
Until now I didn't get any wrong stuff from them dispite that.
(But hey... there's a first time for everything )

Errhhh, it looks pretty much like my Shift charger, except that mine has a magnet around the cable about 4 inches from the connector. The connector looks identical.

[Q] Did Samsung change their USB cable design?

I have Nexus S (T-Mobile) and all of the USB cables I ordered in the past looked like this -
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But seller sent me these (below) claiming it's genuine. I'm guessing this is for Verizon model (since it has V-Cast tag?).. he thought there was a mistake and sent me another one but it's the same cable.
Did Samsung change their USB cable design overall or is that only for Verizon models?
So could anyone enlighten me...?
Thanks!
It seems as if they have. Should still work just as quickly.

It works but I don't want a knock-off and just wanted to be sure before I contact the seller again so I don't make a mistake.. because I thought all Samsung branded USB cable looked like the first picture I posted. Thanks!
I have just bought a galaxy note and the supplied usb cable in the box looks just like what you have been sent.

USB cable issue Prime

So I was just removing the USB cable from the adaptor and this is the end result:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

The plastic portion that was covering the USB part came loose and a piece of it broke off on the side. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement?
I figure that I could contact ASUS and have them send me a replacement, but I wouldn't mind having an extra adaptor and USB cord for my Prime as a back up.
My apologies for the not so great pictures, but I took them with my 4th generation iPod Touch.
Exact same thing happened to me so I just taped it up I would also like to know where to get one from.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA
You can get them pretty cheap on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw...&_odkw=tf201+charging+cable&_sop=15&_osacat=0
If you want to buy both the cable and adapter you could get that at OfficeDepot:
http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/768723/ASUS-Power-Adapter-For-Eee-Pad/
The same happened to me I just fixed it with electrical tape.
Got this issue to but luckly i just rang to the store i bought it from and made them send a new after a mail whit some pictures

Question Moisture detected ?

I'm nearly sure no water has gotten near this charging port, what happened was I tried to use another charger and it would charge for me, then I put the old charger back in and then this message popped up, iv used a hair dryer for like 5 mins on it, and still showing up
I can remove the message by force closing Android system, then I reset phone, and still the same,
Any clues? Or just wait it out?

Defective brick or cable? Use the one that works.
The Samsung 25w brick/cable are cheap and long lived. Using them makes troubleshooting much easier... I have three, the oldest is will be 4yo in October, still A-OK.
When It happened on my device it was because some dirt or fluff got lodged in. I used straw, in absence of canned air, to blow it out
