Wall Charger replacement?

mikejames07 said:

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could purchase a replacement OEM wall charger for my Galaxy Gear. I've been to Samsung's website but I could only find the replacement cradle. I've also checked eBay and sites like Amazon.

why can't you just use any usb wall charger? I charge my gear with a 4-port anker wall charger along with our phones. works fine.

wow. just wow.
resell value... yeah sure, people are gonna pay you more because you have the original charger.

Try

Emailing Samsung Support ask them ...making sure you state your location ..worth a try

50/50 chance of a useless reply :silly:

Ok... your opinion is noted, however, it has no relevance to my question.

maybe it doesn't, but your way of thinking is flawed, and greedy.
charging cradle is using standard micro usb connection. 99% of the cables/chargers will work with it. everyone own a few at least, they come with nearly every device. micro usb is present on more than 90% of devices. you charge everything with one cable. yet you are trying to get the original charger - for no reason.

Buy it from someone that charges it from a standard micro-usb, having the original charger sitting unopened inside the box...

I ordered a spare dock charger from Samsung. It came with a wall charger. After discount I paid $18.00. I am using the dock charger in the car so the wall charger is not in use at all. I have no need for it.

I guess I wasn't around whenever you were crowned "knower of all things usb and resale", strange though considering you obviously have no clue what you're talking about. First of all having the original box and original contents along with any item being resold greatly increases the overall chance of it selling, it reduces the amount of time it takes to sell, and most importantly items sold with their original box and contents on average bring in 15% - 30% MORE MONEY than the exact same items being sold without the original box and contents. So wow, just wow, it actually does make a difference whether you want to believe it or not. But I guess whenever you sell something of yours you just give it away for practically nothing because otherwise you'd be greedy right? Let me know whenever you're ready to sell your Gear because I'd be happy to give you $20 bucks for it! Secondly, just because a different cable might fit into the port doesn't mean that it'll work the same way. You're "any old cable will do" theory is kind of ridiculous considering cables by themselves have different resistances which alone could cause longer charge times and faster battery drain, and each adapter has it's own voltage and amp outputs which can also effect different devices in different ways. It's funny how none of those things ever crossed your mind yet somehow you're an authority on the subject. LOL Wow just wow!
