search amazon for charge only micro usb, bazillions.
Thanks ! Actually I did it but I only found the "Portapow" model said not to be compatible with the Note 2. So I guess this would be the same for the Note 3.

I found that trick. From what I understand you have to cut and solder the green and white wires initially used for data.
Does anyone know if it is safe for the phone and computer (or the house when connected to the wall outlet) ??
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...+m,aps&rh=i:aps,k:charge only micro usb cable
I only found one in the list that ship to France. He is the one mentioning the cable is not compatible with the Note 2. I guess that's only about the fast charging feature. ..
Thanks for your help ! I just ordered one. I'll soon know if it rocks.

If you use the adapters for the Galaxy Tablet then any cable becomes a no-data high current charging cable.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/190677630730?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Using this I get 1800mA charging for my N3 (and no data).
iGO cable is your choice, but it's rather expensive (and you have to buy micro USB plug). The cable is NOT data capable.
Thanks for the trick Craig ! This is an interesting solution easier to carry in a bag and when needed data are avaliable.

Hmmm... From my google search not more expensive than the other cables. Currently I am waiting for the delivery of my first order and if it doesn't work thanks to all of you I'll have several other solutions

To be able to fast-charge from a PC USB port without having a custom kernel that allows it. The note 3 is capped at 450mA on USB.

In case you've forgot the power block for the wall outlet when visiting some of your customers, you may have to connect to someone computer to refill. For security reason it's better to avoid spreading some data of one of your customer to the network of another one.
Same story when you are using the USB of a computer connected to an unknown network: all the content of your phone can be used (personal and professional) and I guess you may get some viruses that will be happy to contaminate other computers when you'll connect your phone to their USB.
A no data cable is a physical protection.

You could just splice a normal cable and cut the white and green cores?

Some of the newer USB 3.0 hubs, e.g. the 10 port from Anker provide a charge only connection (2.1 A). The 9 remaining are data and power (0.9 A each)

Just wondering if all MHL adapters are the same. Meaning, can I use a generic non-HTC adapter on my Rezound?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
I believe so. Someone posted that a monoprice one worked on his GSII. I know that is a different phone but it is likely that HTC hasn't blocked generic ones if samsung didn't.

The monoprice adapter works for my Rezound.
Thx for the help, just order a 10$ mhl adapter. After this bad boy set me back 600$ i'm trying to squeeze all the accessories I can outta this weeks paycheck.
I'll let you guys know how it goes when I get it.
The thunderbolt/EVO 3D htc mhl adapter works.
How can I control my phone with out touching it?
(Watching netflix and don't want to get up every time)
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
The Monoprice MHL adapter works like a charm. You can't use your HTC cable in the adapter though. So pick up a long enough 5 pin micro usb cable( I am using a 6' wish I would have bought bigger) and long enough HDMI cable for your set up so you don't have to stand next to your TV operate the phone and watch it on the TV.
to further add to the question, if you're going through the MHL->HDMI to your telie, will it also keep your phone charged?
Yes you plug the adapter to the phone and the wall

Yeah its a lot going on for our phone to display on a TV. My wife's Bionic has hdmi out, that is so easy! Just bought a hdmi to micro hdmi cable from monoprice for 3 bucks for my wife's phone. The Rezound looks like a octopus just to display to the TV!
Where u guys getting the monoprice MHL? Amazon? I haven't connected any phone to my tv since my original EVO days. Would love to do it with this one. Thanks fellas

No, the video parts of the NFL app will not work. I have tried it and when you try to access video content, the screen you are connected to view blank.
Thats weird. I thought u can view anything that's on your phone... Even the home screen!? Is there anything else that doesn't work through the mhl?

I recieved mine from Monoprice, works great. But it HAS to be connected to power (charger or USB both work) to function, not just if you want the phone to charge while using the adapter.
What I did was use a short HDMI cable, short micro USB cable plugged into one of my TVs USB ports for power, and then mounted the adapter to the back of my TV with velco. I then use a micro usb extension cable to connect the adapter to my phone, cutting down a TON on the octopus effect. And I can always disconnect the adapter to take it with me somewhere.
Is this the adapter everyone is buying, its $14 not $10 so want to make sure I'm not missing anothr one on their site. http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083314&p_id=8675&seq=1&format=2
I assume it is the same as an MHL connector. My questions are 1) Does it also charge your phone so it doesn't die if you're trying to watch a movie on an HDTV and 2) For the following product linked below, what is that small connector for that's next to the part that plugs into the back of your TV? I see that the other end of it plugs into your phone but can't figure out what the 3rd connector is for.

I'm looking to buy a longer charging/USB cable that has the same connector as the stock one that came with the phone. I have a ton of those micro usb wires, but these have a tendency to easily disconnect. I have a USB extention cable, but that limits the charging to less than 400mah or less.

I got mine on amazon for a couple bucks each. Try searching "htc oem cable." Mine are white from another htc model but perfect in all ways.
I would pick a couple of these up. They are a hell of a deal. Very thick, about 4ft long, and data exchange work perfectly. Charges my phone quickly too. Hard to believe they were only $1, and He's a US Seller so you will get them quick.

The cable for the Amaze has a 12pt micro USB end. It's the same cable needed for the HTC Flyer. Compared to other micro USB cables that are only 8pt. This one fits more securely.

I'm glad I read this thread. I'm using my EVO charging cables and they work but are very slow.
If charging current is low check the ground connection between both end , it may be disconnected . I bought couple of cable from ebay all same problem later make one and i happy with that charging current now 800 plus .

Generic. The samsung cable is unstable, therefore often charges too slow due to usb charger stability detection.

original cable use if Odin problems is old advice .

Well, I guess, those extra pins won't make a difference, coz the slot in ur S3 may have the same no of contact points as there are pins in original S3 cable..!
I use a cheap no brand one when I'm at work and the Samsung cable at home. No differences at all.

You have to have USB 3.0 and the correct drivers on your computer.
Here is why there will likely not be any USB 3.0 accessories that actually work..
The Note 3 is not capable of hosting 3.0. It would require more power to legitimately host a USB 3.0 device. Not only that, the hardware is just not capable nor are there any drivers for it in Android.
It can read and write at high speeds from a computer because the computer hosts the drivers and has the correct drivers. Only if it has USB 3.0.
Any accessories you see that say 3.0 (like OTG cables) are not really 3.0. Especially if they are not manufactured by Samsung.
