Samsung Galaxy tab 8.9 car charger recommendations?

[0okami]

Hi everyone
I'm looking for a car charger that would actually charge my 8.9 tab.

I have hooked up my tab to various USB sockets and im still getting the red X on the battery. I even tried a 2.1a socket. No luck. This is going back to amazon unfortunately.

XTG (Does not charge my tab)
"Ultra Compact High Output Dual USB Car Charger - 2.1A Output Ideal for Charging iPad, iPad 2, Galaxy, iPhone, HTC, Droid, GPS, and Other Tablets, Smart Phones and USB Powered Devices"
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00470C35E/ref=oh_o03_s00_i00_details DOES NOT WORK for me.

(actually, i might keep it for my HTC evo. I like how its blade fused)



samsung galaxy tab 8.9 and XTG 2.1a car charger showing device is not receiving charge from the 2.1a usb charging port. XTG at fault?

So if anyone can recommend something that does work, please do let me know. Im trying to find something low profile instead of having to use a DC-> AC -> wall socket -> usb in the jeep. >_<

Here's UPDATE in case someone has the same issue with charging the 8.9 tab via usb.
With these steps followed, I was able to get USB charging from any usb socket. Not just wall.


I rooted my Galaxy 8.9 following these instructions:

And then, I flashed this rom:

After that, I flashed this Kernel:

And then, I enabled USB charging as described in here:

And DONE. Now its charging from USB.
It charges slow but that's expected. If i want to charge faster, I use the wall socket.

You were very close to getting it correct with your first post. That car charger you have is plenty powerful at 2.1a (I'd actually recommend getting one that does both 1a & 2a to charge either a phone or tablet in the car). My understanding of the Galaxy Tab is that they won't charge correctly over USB. By default, they just behave as mass storage devices. If you want to get your Galaxy Tab to charge over USB, you'll need a special USB adapter that connects inline with your existing charging cable. This little gem was designed for the earlier generation of Galaxy Tab, but the charging issue is the same.

Or, you could buy this nifty external battery, which includes the required inline charging cable.

Obviously, you were able to get it to work by rooting, etc. But for those who may be interested in a vanilla solution, this may help. Also, sorry for not posting links, but I'm a noob poster, and the rules don't allow me. You should be able to find the products I mentioned above pretty easily though.
