I have broken the plug - where the cable plugs in, so I need a new charger asap, preferably from a UK store rather than online, otherwise I will be out of charge by the end of the weekend, anyone know anywhere that sells them ?
+1, in the same boat!
Unfortunately, swearing lots at my charger did not bring it back to life.
Regards
I have yet to find any electrical stores that stock them.
I got a spare from the Asus Uk Online store.
PS: You've only broken the plug?
Use a usb port whilst the screen is off. It's slower but will charge.
Loads of shops sell a Plug with USB slots as well.
Unfortunately they won't output the powe the same way the ASUS one does, but they'll do similar to USB charging (i think)
Staples sell the official charger, cover, screen protector and dock
Charger is 29.99

This guy has a cradle at 11 euros in hong kong he also sells trough ebay.
With tranportation I got my for about 22 euros.
Regards,
Be advised that the cradles offered by eXpansys, Brando, and others lack both external AC power and a spare battery charging slot.
I bought one from eXpansys based on bad information, and I'm pretty much stuck with it (it's not worth paying the shipping to send it back for what I would receive as a refund).
The lack of external AC means that if you shut off your computer, you also shut off charging.
The lack of extra battery slot, well, that's just a huge PITA!

It might be worth getting a power adaptor with a usb output. I received one with my fortuna clip-on gps. Along with my usb car adaptor, this means I just need a usb mini cable to use all power options, and also to sync the phone.
ie keep the adaptors where you need them, and just carry the usb mini cable around. It turns out this is a much tidier charging solution than I ever managed for my old p900.
Also, Be adviced that USB charging is way SLOWER than AC Adaptor Charging!
If you have doubts, record the time it takes to fully charge a battery or simply check the differences between the heat it makes when u connect to a USB charger and AC charging(which is HOT)
I got a dock from ebay - like the expansys ones (etc) it only charges through the USB on the computer. However, this suits me as most of my day is in front of the machine and even when off (as I use a docking station) the USB is still powered and hence charges the TyTN.

Rich, is it possible to plug in the Tytn charger cable into the back of the cradle and use it as a stand-alone charging station ?
I have the brando one, and I can use it via USB charging or by ac power.
Its uses the same connector in the back
Finally received mine today (the Brando/eBay one).
For some reasons, it syncs much slower than just using the USB cable??? :?
And the bright blue LED is constantly on... which is a bit annoying.
tytn cradle I had it.

thanks
so,
i was readin gon the forum that its not a good idea to use the usb charger as it does not fully charge the phone.
now, i was looking on eBay for a charger and they have crazy deals like $.99 for a wall charger & car charger w. $3 shipping.. ($4, NOT BAD!!!) but, they seem to be the mini-usb tipped ones which would indicate slow-trickle charging right?
i am looking for something that i can have in my car and possibly office to charge my phone quickly and "the right way"...
please let me know what good experiences you have...
btw, i am also trying to keep it on the thrifty side.. so i cant throw around $30 per item....
thanks,
.milkman
This is what I had ordered for my 8525...
http://www.elitextreme.com/usbsyandchcr.html
although, this is what they sent me instead...
http://www.elitextreme.com/ci85usbsyand.html
Not what I wanted because of the large footprint this style leaves... but it still works the same and gets the job done quickly.
both come with wall chargers for the unit (and also a USB cable so you could plug it in to the computer if you choose that way instead)
I'm looking for a replacement charger (actually just the cable, as I can currently only charge the TF by plugging it into the dock).
google throws up several results which look the same. Cheap, but no specs, no picture of an actual transformer charging plug on the end of then...
http://www.the-internet-shop.co.uk/asus-transformer/75248-asus-transformer-240v-mains-charger.html
http://www.chargerstore.co.uk/Froogleftp2/asus-transformer-mainsch.html
Except i found another site that ships the cable alone, and looks legit (with pictures, etc.).. and wants £15 for just that!
So I'm sceptical - how these other stores are managing to sell a charger+cable for 1/3 the price of the cable alone. Or are they just scams? Has anyone bought one of these cheap chargers and had it work?
Sorry, no experience of either.
Subscribing to see if someone can confirm suitability.
I was just about to pull the trigger on the 240v wall charger, but then did some research into their other 'Transformer' products such as the car charger, mount and noticed this item:
http://www.the-internet-shop.co.uk/asus-transformer/75753-asus-transformer-signal-booster.html
.....This is a signal booster for the Transformer's phone signal!!! I think they have their products mixed up. I noticed that they have no photos or description about the connectors either.
I'd be interested to see the pouch they are selling with belt-clip!! I'd love to carry my TF'er around my waist all day.
Those chargers look unsuitable and the post above by Paradaz seems accurate in stating the the "seller" has mixed up his items.
If you only want a cable then you could look at this:-
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250952924163?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
or the Asus Store UK who also sells the complete charger with a cable.
Hi guys, does anyone here know where to buy the US adapter part of the charger? I am speaking specifically of the piece that goes into the charger. The two pronged plug insert itself. Here is a link of an item on ebay that includes the adapter with the charger.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-USB-Wall...ccessories&hash=item3a742ee563#ht_3518wt_1018
So ideally I'm looking to spend less than $9 (otherwise I can just buy above item and keep the charger as a spare). I don't want to use an US adapter on top of the Hong Kong one on my tab because it becomes way to bulky and would not fit the outlet near my bed. I'd need to use this outlet as its most ideal.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
EDIT: I'm going to post this in the galaxy tab 10.1 forum as well just so it gets more hits. Its a bit dead here with respect to there.
I think you'll have an hard time getting just the pronged plug...and that's 9$ with shipping included, so maybe it is better to just order the full charger.
...but you made me curious...
Contrary to my previous GT-P1000 charger, the charger on my new 7.7 (European edition) does not feature a USB socket on top where the USB plug then goes, like the one on the Ebay link. Instead, it features an integral cord coming out of the charger (a stand-alone USB cable was also provided in the package for PC connection purposes)
Do you mean that the US version features the much more practical "charger with USB socket + USB cable" solution?
This is important to me since I figured the chargers had been changed from model to model on account of a technical imposition (the cord end from the charger, on the tab side also features a different, slightly longer plug, when compared to the GT-P1000 one)
If it is the case that the charger format is optional, I will jump and get one of the "old" ones as the previous arrangement (charger + separate cable) is way more versatile.
XK
The US version charger is a usb charger adaptor. Also, it has the front plug portion changeable for regions if you have the fittings. I'll take pictures when im home

Is anyone using the charging pins on the back of our wonderful phone?
The genuine Sonim XP8 Single Bay Drop-In Charger seems quite steep on the price, but if there are no alternatives... :crying:
I would like to hear experience of real users, of the genuine charger and alternatives available please.
After spending a minute poking with the USB-C charger (the rubber door being in the way doesn't help) I realized that I will be wanting to use the back charging connectors.
can someone at least tell me the charging time with that charger please?

AT&T has the GPSLockbox single tray charger with slot for a spare battery to charge for around $30. I use that and I prefer it. Just drop it in and let it charge. The dock uses a micro-USB charger and not USB-C
