I lost my sync cable & charger. Is there good oem sync cable / usb charger out there? (Ebay, Amazon...)
Thanks.
there was a guy that reported being able to get it at Fry's (brick and mortar, not from the website).

It's like no one has ever asked this before....
AC adapters seem to be pretty rare, and there isn't a lot of stock out there. You can check the stores that carry the TF (Fry's, Best Buy, etc) and see if they happen to have any, but I wouldn't hold my breath at this point.
I signed up for a stock notification from some website and got notice that they had some in last week. I ordered that evening and they were down to only 26 in stock. Got the charger and cable on Friday.
one of my friend said the sync cable is available at Asus service center.
I will make a phone call to check and get one if it is really available.
The sync cable should cost around $6.
p.s in Taiwan now.
Actually, u dont need to buy the adapter from Asus at all.
Just get a ipad AC adapter would be fine. The out put is 2Ah currency.
Which is acceptable for Asus TF101. I personally use it already.
I believe they are sold at Office Depot.
See hear:

I would do more research before buying this as the ipad charger is 5v and will charge but very slow

What he said. It's been known for quite some time that the ASUS charger has a 5V 2A circuit AND a 15v 1.2A circuit. The higher voltage circuit is carried on the extra pins provided by a USB 3.0 connector.
An iPad charger will work, but only if the unit is off or in sleep, and it will work very slowly.

there's a US guy on ebay doing the cable-only shipped to the uk for £20, and he threw in a usb F --> F 5.5/2.1 barrel adaptor with mine as a free gift. you'd just need to add a cheap 12v ac/dc adaptor to that.
but needless to say, research and double-check polarities etc carefully before plugging anything in.

It not just the cable, it the complete charger. Yes, still a little more than I'd like to pay.... But the the cheapest price so far, for an official Asus charger.
Charger/cable now available from Asus
http://us.estore.asus.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3613
The charge cable and AC adapter is still out of stock in Taiwan.
I went to the Asus official service center yesterday. They said it would be
available around early Sep.

search ebay for "ASUS Transformer TF101 - USB Connector Cable". it comes up as an international seller item on ebay uk.
note though that asus UK is now doing the cable + original charger for £25 with free shipping which might be a better deal unless you want to also hack together a car charging option.

If you are in the usa you can go to office depot store or website and buy the set (cable and AC) for $30 plus tax, and website shipping free over $50. The website shows status in stores close to your location. In stock means 2-3 and limited stock 1-2.

do there exist any battery chargers that are not cradles? I don't need a cradle. But I need to be able to charge my spare battery when I'm travelling. I'm not going to carry my cradle while flying around. But I don't see any battery chargers for sale, I mean ones like we use for our camera batteries. What's the deal?
also, are there any standards in batteries within HTC? or does each model use a different type of battery

thanks for the link... for $10 US Dollars, its worth trying out...
i received the charger and - so far - it appears to be working very well. one plus is that it has a USB cord that allows you to use your laptop or a cigarette lighter adapter to charge your battery. it also has the built-in prongs to plug into the wall. certainly a good investment (so far)...
What? I thot the USB cord was to use it as a USB charger for the actual PDA? Ur saying it can charge the battery from a laptop too? Sounds good. Now if only my TC would actually get delivered to me...

yes, the charger came with a USB-to-USB cable so that i can use the charger from my laptop or any device that supports a USB connection.
I use this one...
http://www.boxwave.com/products/versachargerpro/index.htm
It has a car charger, wall socket charger, airplane charger all in one!
it has modules for american and european plug outlets as well
It's a little expensive but well worth it, cause it basically takes 3 different pieces and combines them into one
I'm waiting for that one to arrive as well, actually my TC is so delayed and we get it until next month...
But I thought the battery charger was also capable of being used as a charger.
anyway, as for the aeroplane charger I've never been on an airline that has a charging socket. Maybe you need to be in business class?
Yeah, only a select few airlines have the chargers in the seats...but either way it's good to have something like that when it's available...BTW, how much did you pay for the spare battery?
I also bought that Battery Adapter PRO thing from boxwave...it looks pretty cool, it uses AA batteries in a box to recharge your phone, and it says it can sustain 5 charge cycles from one set of batteries. Looks kinda cool. I hope to receive that, and the cradle I bought from them tomorrow.
Not enough power to charge direct to the phone.

I have tried to use the USB charge direct to the TC, but It cannot provide enough power to charge direct the Phone:
USB Travels Charger:
Input: AC 110-240v 50/60Hz
Output: DC 4.2V 350mA (Charge the second battery)
Output: USB 5.0V 800mA** (I tried to use this to charge my TC)
HTC original wall charger:
Input: AC 100-240v 50/60Hz
Output: miniUSB 5V 1000mA**
However, If you only want to get power from notebook or car to charge the second batter, it's OK.
Actually 800mA is OK to top up, but only if your batt has say 15%+ left.
My battery is on order, HTC official one for 29 pounds.
I wonder about the ebay ones for US$5, but I've been burnt on a camera batt once, brand new off ebay, canon packaging $20 vs $40 in store, max charge was like 20%...
Tho now I think of it 30P is a lot...

Agreed...10 years ago ebay was an ok place to buy stuff. Now its truely buyer be ware. I never buy electronics from ebay, what a junk yard. Buy straight from the vendor, you get what you pay for...
Kinda bothers me that the unit only charges via an AC Adapter, I was hoping it would charge through the mini usb. Anyone know of a way to get a spare. I'm already dreading being without this GTab if the charger breaks.
I'm not at my tab right now but I looked at the adapter once before and saw m630 (or something like that) on the back. When I google'd it I found a kodak m630 for like $14.

I measured the output of the power adapter supplied and it was around 18V open circuit and definitely AC despite the center positive symbol on the back of the wall wart. Can you confirm that the 12V DC center positive adapter charges the tablet. I would love to buy a car adapter for this for when I travel. Thanks.

The ZT-180 uses a 9V 2A power supply. The g-tablet uses 12V 2A. These are not compatible.
Don't know if this one has been posted, but here is the exact power supply:
http://shop.accessory4you.com/05-chanpin/p-001-1.asp?id=2388
On a related note: When I was looking for a PSU for my ZT-180, a co-worker gave me one from a broken portable DVD player (9V 2A). He also gave me the automobile adapter that came with the portable DVD player. It is rated at 12V 2A. I'm not sure why the different ratings for the same device, but I didn't even want to try it on the ZT-180.
It looks like it may work on the g-tablet, but I'm afraid to try it. I don't know the model DVD player it came from, but I'll ask the guy who gave it to me. He went deer hunting, so I won't see him until after Thanksgiving.
EDIT: It looks like Radio Shack has an automobile adapter that MAY work with the g-tablet.

I'm not sure what it was you were measuring. A 12V DC PSU measures at 18V AC ?
Mine measures 12.28V DC. In AC mode my meter doesn't even get a read from the power supply.
My zt180 has a 12V 2A adapter.

I found a 15v charger for less than $4 USD, which requires an adapter cable costing $3 USD, costs include shipping. I ordered both from China and when they arrive I will post pics. This charger is within 20% as good as the stock charger, e.g. 1000ma vs 1200ma.
The stock chargers are great, but they are unfortunately MORE proprietary than the 40 pin cables. Our ONLY source for stock chargers with be ASUS for a LONG TIME. Maybe no one else noticed on shop.asus.co.uk, but the price of the AC Adapter AND 40 pin cable, with EURO and UK plugs, dropped to £25 today.
Good luck.
Do they actually have car chargers thats strong enough to charge a tablet?

I got one from here:

The only issue is shipping them to China, I dont know if he has a closer source (one would think so since everything is made in Asia).

Think I'm gonna have to order one from the UK store. My charger is about to stop o=working completely as the face part of the plug keeps coming off. I have no idea why this is as I have not mis-treated it in any way. Would Asus cover this under warranty perhaps? I put this down to poor construction of the charger plug.
Okay, I am an idiot. I left my charging cable for my prime at home and am out of town for the weekend. I have looked on amazon, but the inexpensive cables they have have no overnight options. I will be back home on Monday already. The only other one is the Asus version for $45. by the time I add overnight it is too expensive. I found a few on ebay, but they look like they are coming from Hong Kong and again, no overnight option.
I thought about buying the keyboard, but as I understand it, it uses the same charging cable but does not include one. can I use a USB cable to charge the keyboard and or prime through the keyboard's USB port?
any other options?

You can only charge the prime via the proprietary port that is on your prime and your dock.
There is nothing you can do short of look harder online for another charge -or- wait until 'monday'

Hi All,
I was searching for USB Dock for Note and found THIS on eBay.
for only $6.78 + Free Shipping :laugh:
I saw many of THE SAME docks going for $19.99 - $24.99 on eBay and Amazon,So this is definitely a good Deal IMO.
One Another Good thing is Economy International Shipping is also cheap on this.
only $1.99 to INDIA in my case. So gifted one to my buddy!!!
I dont know if I plug in MHL cable in back and use it as HDMI Dock
That would be awesome
-----------------------------------------------What Works and What Dose not------------------------------------------------
1. MHL Cable : NO (You can not connect MHL cable behind the Dock to do HDMI out )
2. Data X'fer : YES (You can simply attach your data cable to Computer to Transfer files to/from Phone)
3. USB OTG : ??? (Dont why know anybody would do this but i will check it tonight see if it works!)

Thanks for sharing this! great buy. just ordered one.:good:
Thx, bought.
I ordered one too.. I am going to check if the dock is actually charging my Note as "AC" instead of "USB".
I ordered a cheap dock and battery charger (brand is Hyperion --> here) and it charges my Note in "USB" mode. Not only it takes longer, but the Note have issue such that with USB charging, the Note will stop going to Deep Sleep (search XDA for this) when unplugged from USB charger and it loses the battery much faster. The only solution is to REBOOT the phone..which is very annoying at the very least.
MHL wont work
Well apparently, this dock is only good for charging / desk clock only.
you can not use MHL cable behind the dock and HDMI out.
It doses charges via MHL cable but dose not do HDMI out.
I know tht part sucks the most, but that is what it is.

Really? I have the same dock as you, but my dock doesn't charge my phone in USB mode.

With this dock, it only gives up to 500mA. Samsung and HTC OEM charger give 1100mA.
Also, I tried the charger with both the International Note (shown as USB charging) and AT&T (shown as AC charge but gives 500mA).
However, for charging extra battery it is indeed useful.

Oh ok! That's really helpful info. Also, I thought you meant that there was an actual "mode" that the phone went into charge.
Do you know if the official Samsung dock charges gives 1100mA?
Have you tried using different cables and the samsung wall charger with the cradle? On a previous phone I had an Anker cradle. The wall charger that came with it did the same thing but when I connected my HTC charger to it all was fine.

I have. I even get a replacement dock from the seller and same result. The dock have 2 microUSB port: one for "sync" and the other for "charge" using the included power supplies. I tried connecting one and the other and then even connecting BOTH at the same time (to power supplies, to laptop, etc.)
FYI, the dock have TWO charging capacity: for phone and extra battery. The power supply that came with the dock is rated 1.5mA. I maybe wrong, but maybe the circuitry inside the dock prevent it from receiving more than 500mA to charge both the Note and the battery at the same time?
I don't have the Samsung OEM charger, so I don't know if this is common to all dock.
