The cable I have now for my current droid is only like 12-18inches long and its rather annoying. How long is the cable your S3 shipped with?
thanks in advance!!
Just over three feet .
I have a shorter 16 inch lead but that is to short .
jje
Not long enough. I had to use a different 1.5m USB cable because the original won't stretch from the plug to the table by my chair.
Can you use any standard usb to mini usb cable? I agree, it's too short :-(

I bought an OEM Samsung Wall charger for my GS2. I use that with my GS3. It's about 4 feet long.

Yes you can use any cable with the adapter..
Just try not to use one of the really low quality cables though.

Im using a cord that didnt come with the phone, could that be the problem ?
Although I dont see why it would be because it charges when plugged to PC so why not sync ?

I know that SG2 is only supposed to do TV-out via samsungs proprietary cable and that TV out via headset output is not enabled. Is there a mod to enable it? I´ve tried the same nokia cable that used to work on GS1 and I could only get sound.
I just got an official samsung one from Ebay for $15 and it works perfectly. Sometimes it pays not to be cheap
Nah you can only use TV out through the micro USB port. I bought a generic adapter off eBay. AFAIK it is not possible through the headphone jack and no hack will make it work.

where is the setting for tv out?
how to connect to tv?
I´ve found a lot of regular USB to RCA cables on ebay, but I didn´t find any MICRO USB to RCA.
The GS2 has MICRO USB port, right? Or is it Mini?
I can't charge my s3 with this

It simply doesn't charge at all.
any possible solution to convert the device and stuff?
extra info. is that I live in Thailand
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.

now that you mentioned the cable, i tried another cable and it worked...
my original cable was this paul-squid looking cable, i tried it with my N8 cable and it worked....
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 was just browsing Amazon, and ran across a 3.0 otg cable. Has anyone got this? Just wondering if it is any faster than a regular cable?
I think I might get it, since my ferret decided to use mine as a chew toy.

It'll only be faster if you're using a USB 3.0 peripheral (e.g. flash drive). Given that USB 3.0 external hard drives are more common than USB 3.0 flash drives, this won't be a benefit for most people. 99% of flash drives in people's pockets are USB 2.0, which means whether they use this cable or the normal microUSB (USB 2.0) version, they're still going to be reading and writing at USB 2.0 speeds.
thanks, may pic one of these up.
I have it and it works great.
Ordered one.
