Adaptor to get a full charge from 3rd party chargers

[sparkyxda]

Got this from the German Amazon site. 5 days shipping to UK.

Works with a 2 amp charger I have, no not charging symbol.

Will test later with laptop and Mac usb

Wait, so finding a 2 amp 3rd party charger isn't enough?

 

[sparkyxda]

No, there is some circuitry in a branded Samsung Tab charger that tells the tab to pull down the full charge. A third party charger will work but very slowly and the tab shows a not charging symbol in the menu bar. This little adaptor in my first post fools the tab into thinking it is connected to an official charger.

Don't know. The package came in a jiffy bag with just the invoice and no other packaging so it's hard to do any detective work by manufacturer or product code.

I ordered a couple from the Amazon DE website a lot cheaper than Amazon UK, if you order more than one, even though you have to pay post and packing.

Nice find i just hope they work.

I don't read German so it was fun placing the order

Wish I'd bought two at the time. Now I have to pay another lot of postage.

It's charging now from my laptop USB. 5% in 10 mins so much faster than normal.

I have a couple of these data/charge cable on order, they seem to get a good review, they are cheap at only £1.60 each.

They take about 10-15 days to deliver, so dont buy if your in a hurry.

I bought a couple of 3rd party cables too. They seem identical to the original, minus the Samsung logo. You'll still need an adaptor like in my first post of you want to charge fast from usb or 3rd party chargers.

I guess the stuff you used is essentially what's inside these adaptors.

I dont want to go modding chargers, some are not easy to get into, also some device might not like the mod, it`s easier just plug in an usb adaptor , also+ , I am definitely not going to mod the ports on my notebook , when the usb adaptor work on your notebook too.

dunno with tabs, but i had an experience with blackberry which oftenly charge with 3rd party charger (for car) which caused ic charging damage. I had mili charger but haven't use it with tabs just because the original travel charger is so simple to carried out with

I received my usb/usb adaptor`s and they seem to work great with all my usb chargers and even with my notebook, though the data connection does not work.

There is no circuitry guys. Its a standard for USB charging where the data lines are shorted. I use my 1A HTC desire charger regularly and it works just fine. Just need to get a good charger.

What I'd like to see is something to let me charge and sync at the same time because often at work battery dies while I'm debugging.

That's odd. My desire charger shows the Not Charging symbol and takes ages to charge my Tab

Not Correct, I have been soldering the data lines together on my usb chargers for years to get my Sony mp3 to charge and non of these chargers will give me full charge mode, just trickle, now the usb/usb adaptor works great.

Have to agree here! I've several HTC USB chargers, and not one of them will do more than trickle charge my Tab unless I use one of these adaptors.
