Hello!
I am looking for some cheap 2A chargers for my G2. The original costs ~15€ !
There are a ton of "claimed to be 2A chargers" on ebay and amazon, I would like to learn if you have tested any of those and they did supplied 2A.
thanks in advance for your help!
Try Belkin or Hama. I never buy off ebay so I can't point to any specific one, but those brands are cheap and decent. They're proper registered brands, (Hama is German and one of the world's largest, Belkin is from the US and also one of the larger brands) so they have to provide what it says on the package.

does it safe to order charger from ebay?
I bought charcher few year ago from net and he exploded and burned... its very dengerous..
what do you think about this charger. I got good recommend.

I couldn't find any cheap hama chargers online, and the belkin ones that come with the EU plug costs the same with the original charger but those with the US plug and an adapter costs half the price, which is strange and could only mean two things, 1, they're fake, 2 belkin is making good money from european customers!
the nillkin option is good....

Mobileplanet seems very pricey for things like wall and car chargers, batteries, etc.
Boxwave doesn't seem to carry any power supplies at all.
I'm at a bit of a loss where to go get this stuff for reasonable prices. (Either super-cheap chinese knockoff crap or reasonably priced OEM - I'm not into expensive chinese knockoff crap!)
TIA,
Richard
lionbattery.com sells for StarTrek only batteries but their 1900 mAh is probably the best you can get. It's not so cheap...
You can get some audio adapter (jack) from ebay.
I have even purchased some car holder from Expansys.com (HTC Store) but it's not so perfect (especially with the fat battery) because it was the cheapest one
That's all you need

HDMI cables in general can be more expensive than you'd expect, but here's a reasonably priced adapter...

You can also try monoprice.com
to answer the initial question: why are they expensive?
because while they are often referred to as adapters, they are actually not. an adapter is something that changes the shape of plugs from one shape to another, like travel adapters for different outlets, the usb otg adapter or when you have a cinch to 3.5mm plug. but this box does way more than just convert the shape, it converts the signal. there is a chip in there that does a lot of work which is also why you need a power supply, it doesn't just charge the phone, it also powers the mhl chip.
and since it actually does something and is not just a piece of wire, it might well cost 20eur, but certainly 50 pounds is too much, i'd have to agree with you on that. still, i am waiting for a cheap german shop to offer them. way less trouble with payment and shipment.
I've noticed there's a few cheaper DK30's, there's a fulfilled by Amazon one for £23 delivered and a few on eBay for £25 delivered. My concern is I know there's cheaper non-official docks out there and although the ones I'm looking at on ebay/Amazon are claiming to be official, they may be fakes. Has anyone ordered a cheaper DK30 recently and was it as expected? I might be worrying over nothing but thought it worth checking first to see what others thought.
Thanks,
John

This is the one I bought
http://www.ebay.com/itm/290988627774?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Its legit. Sony branding, sony tag on the USB cable.
$27 USD including shipping... that sounds about what your pricing is.
They're probably not fakes but for the price you're probably better off buying two aftermarket ones and still have change to spare. I got one of these and it's pretty good. Only gripe is that the charging time is quite slow via the magnetic dock. But it's nice how it comes with a short micro USB cable as a pass through in case I want to plug it in for a faster charge or plug in my SmartWatch 2 to charge at the same time.

Why would you want a 2mA charger? That wouldn't even charge enough to keep up with drain at idle.
Are you looking for a 2A charger, maybe? HUGE difference.
I use the HP touchpad charger for my devices, it's 2A. Got it straight from HP for $5.
Or maybe 2,000mAh ? LOL

The good chargers cost money. Samsung and apple make the best chargers. Sticking to brand names is worth it. Got 4 samsung 2a chargers now one of which is powering an s charging pad. One to keep in back pack. The other two are for my apt or my folks house.

Chargers meant for the iPad are 2amp at least. FYI.

The oem Samsung chargers are 2A and can be found on ebay for a few bucks. I use the same charger for my LG blue tooth and my Sena bluetooth on my motor helmet. It charges them REALLY quick
Probably fake if on eBay.

If you are an idiot shopper and don't know what you are buying or who you are buying from then yes, it could be. Thats why you research your seller and the item
Ok. Why I said probably.

Nothing from Samsung is ever cheap, especially brand new and on eBay, unless somebody is just needing cash like crazy lol

Go to ebay and type "Samsung genuine note 3 charger". Narrow the search field to Buy Now and Least to Greatest.
Now if you're going to come back and say "hey, all those are from China and HK"! My response is going to be, what part of our device isnt? So dont go expecting one from a US seller because we all know where they got their from and price jacked it.

How do you know, I mean REALLY know what you have is genuine? Are you using CORE or comparing disassembly or using o-scopes?
Isn't yours "stamped" like everyone else's?
I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A9PO5AM/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I bought it when I bought the samsung QI wirelss charger pad a while back. The pad needs a 2 amp charger. The build quality is pretty good. I wanted one that the cable doesn't come off because my wife steals all my USB cables. I've been happy with it. I use it all the time for my Note 3, 2013 Nexus 7 and the QI pad when I have the time to lay my tablet down and not use it while its charging.

Because since I stopped buying "genuine" from eBay, amazon or the like I haven't had to buy more chargers to replace "genuine". All the chargers I've received with my phones or I have bought from the OEM itself are still going strong. The only charger I would trust not bought from a big known corporate OEM or similar is phi hong of which the original nexus one and galaxy nexus came with by the way. My phi hong nexus one charger is still going strong. Phi hong makes good power supplies also. Ive also researched what you get when you buy fleabay. Dirty unreliable power that 9 times out of 10 isnt rated what it says on the sticker and if it does output what is says on the sticker you're getting a charger that probably wont last 3 months or might start a fire or burn out your phone or your battery. Buying from amazon or eBay is very high percentage you're buying disposable to save a buck or two and being a tree hugger I realized myself and other people were spending more going that route. Peace out.

Well, my Note 2 didn't come with a charger and I bought a "genuine" one off ebay. That was a year ago and I recent went to the Note 3. Now that charger I bought off ebay is still working fine. So either it's "genuine" as it was advertised or its a really close copy being it looks the exact opposite as the one that came with my Note 3.
So maybe, just maybe, there are genuine Samsung chargers on ebay.
You guys believe this is indeed a genuine product? the seller really emphasizes the legitimacy of it a number of times in the description.. given the price what do you guys thinks?

It's even cheaper on Aliexpress
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...1899f9bbcf48fbbcb-1497181164482-05162-2v37IQv
As for authenticity, it will probably be the same Samsung charger that is sold without the Samsung branding. What happens in China is once they get the specs and production blueprints from the OEM, they start making on the side for themselves, in addition to supplying the OEMs with required number. Remember the previous fast wireless charger from Samsung which they sold for $75? The same thing has been available on Aliexpress for over a year now for about $15 and I have not seen anyone complaining about it.
Three years back I bought a 3 coil wireless charger called Itian A6 from Aliexpress for less than half the price of Tylt Vu from which they cloned it. And to this day it is working fine and I am currently using it to charge my S8+. But at this price, I am seriously considering getting the clone of Samsung's new convertible wireless charger.
Well.. this dude proves the non genuine Samsung wireless charger is crap, which is the main reason I asked the question:
Issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkR3H1Tnlp0
Resolution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr4RlrfHIMk
I guess that can also happen. But if you buy from Aliexpress, you have buyer protection and all you need to do is make a video that demonstrates the issue (within the stipulated time) and you will get a full refund.
In 2015 I and a friend bought 16000mah power banks by Choetech that can charge itself and other devices with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 spec. When we got the power banks, my friend's was working fine but mine won't charge itself with QC2.0 (as indicated by the lack of green LED) although it did charge other devices with QC2.0 speeds. I took some photos indicating the issue and the seller issued a full refund of $30.

What a douche, he buys a fake one and whines about it that it doesn't work.
Personally i wouldn't buy anything from china that says its genuine and is half price of the original msrp, expect it to be fake.
I bought one of these it's definitely fake, it feels cheap and nasty. It's not even leather... it's hard rubber you can even see the joint molding on the side. It scent is very strong, I usually have my qi charger sitting in front of me on my desk just above my keyboard but now its back in the box waiting to hear back from the seller for a refund.
The sliding mechanism does not slide like the genuine product doesn't feel solid, cheap sliding mech with a lot of friction.
The bottom rubber which is suppose to help the device not slide around doesn't even touch the table it's too thin.
Also does not come with a charger or cable just the pad and clearly a poor quality USB-C adapter due to the print was half faded.
After all that it does support fast charging which was surprising lol I haven't tested it long enough to see if it cuts out etc
Thanks for the info! I'll be sure to NOT buy these then..
