I have misplaced my original micro USB cable and charger.
I just ordered and received what I think/hope is an authentic Samsung cable and charger. I have plenty of aftermarket cables but I wanted to get the real thing to increase the odds that CASUAL/No You Verizon will work when I try it.
The items look/feel real. However, on the end of the cable that has the micro USB connector that plugs into the phone, there is no pin in position #4.
(refer to this diagram for pin positions: kineteka.com/Media/Default/Page/micro-usb-b.jpg)
Can someone verify if their original cable has a pin in position #4?
I understand that pin #4 isn't actually needed for charging/syncing, but this will help me determine if what I got is actually a genuine Samsung cable.
Thanks!
There is no position 4 pin on mine.

Thanks so much for responding AND for posting a pic!
That looks exactly like mine. I think I got the real thing.
Thanks again!

I know that SG2 is only supposed to do TV-out via samsungs proprietary cable and that TV out via headset output is not enabled. Is there a mod to enable it? I´ve tried the same nokia cable that used to work on GS1 and I could only get sound.
I just got an official samsung one from Ebay for $15 and it works perfectly. Sometimes it pays not to be cheap
Nah you can only use TV out through the micro USB port. I bought a generic adapter off eBay. AFAIK it is not possible through the headphone jack and no hack will make it work.

I´ve found a lot of regular USB to RCA cables on ebay, but I didn´t find any MICRO USB to RCA.
The GS2 has MICRO USB port, right? Or is it Mini?
I can't charge my s3 with this

It simply doesn't charge at all.
any possible solution to convert the device and stuff?
extra info. is that I live in Thailand
Thanks a batch !
Are you sure the device actually works? (Confirm it on another phone)
My APC charger works flawlessly.
If it does, please measure the resistance (Ohm) between the 2 middle pins on the connected cable and post the result here.

now that you mentioned the cable, i tried another cable and it worked...
my original cable was this paul-squid looking cable, i tried it with my N8 cable and it worked....
thank you so much for mentioning that word mate
The cable I have now for my current droid is only like 12-18inches long and its rather annoying. How long is the cable your S3 shipped with?
thanks in advance!!
Just over three feet .
I have a shorter 16 inch lead but that is to short .
jje
Not long enough. I had to use a different 1.5m USB cable because the original won't stretch from the plug to the table by my chair.
Can you use any standard usb to mini usb cable? I agree, it's too short :-(

I bought an OEM Samsung Wall charger for my GS2. I use that with my GS3. It's about 4 feet long.

Yes you can use any cable with the adapter..
Just try not to use one of the really low quality cables though.
I recently replaced by usb flex cable because the usb port wasn't charging the phone properly anymore (2nd time I might add).I noticed that my reception was incredibly poor after this so I tried to put the old one back in, but now the reception isn't any better in a lot of placed, though I think its back to LTE speeds for data when its available whereas before it wasn't but it many places I get no reception at all or very poor reception.
I may have damaged a little cable/plugin on the flex port, but i'm not sure what it is. Can anyone identify this? (picture)

maybe that part powers the antenna?
I think you might have accidently unplugged something somewhere else on the phone when you replaced the board. Or you ruined the actual lil wire that attaches to the receptacle in the pic you posted. If you swap boards shown in the pic and it doesn't fix problem it's something else.
I really have nothing against Aukey, I've been using their products for years but this was surprising and disappointing to me. Last night i plugged my phone in and it wouldn't charge. Upon inspecting the USB tip came off while sitting inside my charger. It wasn't due to mishandling as the end that goes into the charger stays there dormant in the wall outlet and I only plug the opposite end in to my phone when I need to so it was strange to see it break off that way. I honestly think it's part of a bad batch but I will opt for a cable with a better quality connector end going forward. It was within my return period so no problems. Other than that the cable works just fine. I will still buy from Aukey, just not this one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087QK2LB2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Concerning, I've had the same happen from Aukey.
I went for some no name cable instead afterward.

Yeah these work just fine with no issues. I think the tips were poorly constructed so cheap is not always best.
good to know, thanks!
