A friend bought this and I borrowed it... sounds awesome and 6000mah to boot.

I've had this for almost 18 months, works perfect, actually charges quicker than some of my wall chargers, not the new 2.0 ones, the old ones.

Case-Mate Fuel - Battery Extender Case

I just stumbled across this while helping a buddy of mine find a decent case for his iPhone (yeah... I know. Don't get me started ) and I came across something that is pretty damn cool. At least in my opinion. It's available for the iPhone (because what isn't?) and Blackberry but not yet for the Google phones. Let's cross our fingers and see if maybe one day they will release a G1/MT3G version. It's a bit expensive, but extremely convenient and useful.
http://www.case-mate.com/iPhone-3G-Cases/Case-Mate-iPhone-3G--3GS-Fuel-Battery-Extender-Case.asp
I placed a suggestion and it appears that you can vote on an idea.
Perhaps if you are as hopeful as I am that they will release a model for the G1 you can encourage them by voting for it.
http://feedback.case-mate.com/pages/26011-product/suggestions/302086-make-a-google-g1-and-or-mt3g-fuel-holster?ref=title
Don't count on it. Our G1's are becoming outdated hardware and we may not see any more accessories or upgrades (donut) made for them anymore cause of it. I personally love this phone and would have bought the mt3g had it had a physical keyboard. I use the 3200mah extended battery and don't mind the size so much as not being able to use a belt holster. This is a nice product though, and if it was available for the g1, I would buy it.
It's the same concept as the motorola charger, but in a slick design and a belt holster. I'm sure you could build one out of the moto charger, but a larger battery would be more practical in my opinion.
wow, that is pretty big but for the extra battery it is worth it. The only problem is if they ever do make it for the g1 we wont be able to listen to music with it since it will cover the speaker and use up the headphone jack (unless you use ad2p)

On the contrary. There is another port that you can use to plug your headphones in and you can still use your headphones and even charge the charger while your phone is docked inside. It'll also work as a port to connect to your pc because it's miniusb like the one that is already used on the G1.

Yeah... those are nice, but I already carry two spare batteries in my pocket and I have a car charger but since I'm quite possibly the heaviest G1 user in the forum (yes I will accept any challenger!) it's still not enough. I can use up all three batteries during one shift at work (I work night security).

Car Adapter...

Anyone pick up a car power adapter yet?
Getting the bugs worked out of my GPS, now I need an adapter...
Here's the car mount I picked up...
It's a 12V device so you don't need anything except a plug that will fit and a power port adapter. Tip is positive. You can make one from parts at Radio Shack if you wanted to.

Correct... I might have to do that if there's not an actual power adapter ready to go for the Tab.... I might take a look at the assortment of Igo adapters.
I really like that mount, seems like it fits really well. What is it and where did you get it?

I recall you posted about that in the ZT-180 section. In fact, I think that I inspired you to find it.
I don't know if these tablets can be charged through the USB, like phones can.
Picked up the one from RS that wasserkapf mentioned....
Had to get a seperate tip because the 4 in the package didnt fit...
Worked fine.... Thanks for the feedback...
Where did you get the extra tip?

You would not use the USB for Gtab. Instead used your AC 110 adapter that came with Gtab and plug it in the 110 outlet.

Here is the proper link to that adapter:

The price is right, but if a similar one is available locally, at a reasonable price, I would encourage people to buy locally. By supporting local merchants, you help ensure that they survive. It is also easier to return to a local merchant if you have problems with a product.
Thanks.. what is the wattage on this one? Does it deliver the full 2amps that we need? I have a 1.5 amp one and it gets hot fast.
as low as $5.18 on ebay

$5.18 shipped from ebay.
and $6.48 shipped as well.
One thing to ask about though, the specs says max 2A, did you confirm it supplies 2A @ maximum voltage 12v ? were you able to charge the GTab while the it running with blutooth enabled ? The thing is if it doesn't supply the required 2A, the battery might no be charged properly if at all when the GTab is powered up.
Thanks,
I was able to charge the tab while it was running. You adjust the voltage to 12volts and attach the proper tip. For 4$at big lots it was worth checking out.

North American power connector

If you bought an HK 6810 from negri like I did, you likely received a converter for the 220 power connector.
I decided to buy one meant for north america and got this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VG7C5U
works well and doubles as a secondary usb cable

I just ordered a couple of them at that price as I like to use oem 30 pin cables.
If you want the cord for the one they ship with instead of the 220 connector then one of these work....... http://www.amazon.com/1-5M-2-Slot-S...AON4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327086550&sr=8-1

In case folks missed it, but this one is cheaper and the same model:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Detachable-Charger-ETA-P10JBEGSTA/dp/B004CGHDEO/ref=pd_cp_pc_2
I bought one of these for my original Galaxy Tab:
http://www.amazon.com/GTMax-Travel-...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1327576779&sr=1-19
It's cheaper with a longer cable and works well. Cable is not detachable.
I am currently using following one,mini charger,really small.

Hi Aoler,
Does it charge as fast as the stock charger the tab came with?
I have another USB charger that takes 2x to 3x longer than stock. Thanks

charge timing a bit longer than original one,I dont mind.I recommended because it smart good design product ,security ,no heating while charging. charge to android phones ,iphone4 as well except ipad2.
Well I ordered this from ebay. Thanks for the tip, man! I charged my Tab from the 0% last night and it took over FIVE HOURS to reach 100% with the stock charger at 240v in Dubai. That is crazy.

Not to hijack the thread, but does anybody know if you can just get the detachable tip for the US, if so where can one get it?
I ordered my tab from Negri as well and received the HK tip detached. It would be great to just get the correct part for the US rather than buying a whole new charger?
I am currently using my original SGT 7.0 charger with it, charged fully in ~4 hours.

Does the tip from your original charger interchange with the new one? If so, your best bet is buying a used one off ebay since I can't find just those tips for sale anywhere.

Thanks for the reply. As far as I know they should be interchangeable. Considering that the power supply is generic in terms voltage, just the tip out differs for what region of the world it is used.
I searched high and low for the US connector to no avail - I'm sure it's out there somewhere. Thanks again.

Found a cheap oem charger here. Don't know the company though, so order at your own risk.
Wow...that is cheap. Thanks. I pulled the triggered and ordered one from Amazon.
In my search last night I found the part for the US detachable tip.
Manufacture Well Shin, part number: WS-069-N.
A Tawainese based company that I guess supplies international connectors for power supplies. Apparently you can't just order one from them directly.
This same topic was also discussed in the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 forum, with similar results - users having to buy a whole new charger, which is silly.
Anyways, thanks. Good to know that there's a cheaper option out there.

Magnetor Charger

Anyone try Magnetor X... http://www.amazon.com/Magnector-Performance-Magnetic-Charging-Adapter/dp/B00JEN5S6A/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1412040478&sr=1-1
It seems like a great alternative to the dock... I don't want to always be taking out the thing to plug in... Magnetic and call it a day.\
I just bought three, arrived before my wife's Z3C (I'm getting the T-mobile Z3 when it's released). Look high quality enough.
I ordered one which it appears is in the same package as the phone so hopefully today or tomorrow. I'll report back if no-one else has by the time it arrives.
I heard these may not have enough clearance if you have certain cases on your phone.
clearance is limited, but the magnet has real bite - the only criticism is that it can lean away from the screen towards the rear of the phone, although that depends entirely how you hold it once attached - no led indicator, but the phone does that for you, and no issues as to the effectiveness of the charge (I've used 36% battery on the first day with moderate/reasonable use) - not perfect, just a lot better than you thought it would be......

One girl on here that I talk to said she's been using the magnetic charger on her Z2 and absolutely loves it! So I think it's worth buying (already did actually lol, but waiting for Z3 as I have the HTC One M8 right now until it gets released here in the U.S., so have to wait and see). Apparently it charges twice as fast as the regular USB wall charger does.

Right, I have one of these now and can report it's excellent. The magnet is pretty strong so holds to the phone well. Only problem I've found is that the Smart Connect app sees it as the same as the dock which is a little annoying as I used the dock at night to do things like turn off bluetooth and start Sleepbot etc.
I also bought an actual magnetic charging cable (this one: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/magnetic-charging-cable-sony-xperia-z3-z3-compact-z2-black-p41526.htm) and the magnet on that is far weaker and comes off if you touch the phone at all while charging.
I definitely recommend the Magnetor X
thanks! i definitely am going to try this!

3Shirts,
The cable I bought is this one, which is made by Magnector X: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JEMESHG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The reviews for it appear to be strongly favorable, so I am confident it will work great. What brand is the one you posted though? Can't find the maker name anywhere.
If you scroll down on mine, it says that Magnector makes this charger with Japanese parts not Chinese, so that may be the difference? Not sure. People who I've talked to on here who have the Z2 or Z3 and this charger cable say it's amazing too. So I definitely agree with your statement, though I have yet to try it out (I have the cable but waiting for Z3's release here in the U.S. lol).

Since it's also Magnector I would assume the magnets on that are as good as the ones on the adapter so it's probably great. Looks to basically the same but a fully wired version rather than being a microusb adapter like the OP.
I myself have also purchased this magnetic cable check out my review in the other magnetic cable thread. :good:

Yes I agree. Thanks.
The one I got's connector is smaller and I thought that made it more practical.

Deleted. Wrong thread.
Just tried mine. Works much much better then the cheap one I bought on ebay. The magnet keeps it in place if you move the phone around, when the cheap one would fall off.

I bought both the Magnetor X wire and adapter to test out the sizes, convenience, etc.--they will be coming later this week. I am discharging my phone until it goes 1% or so, then charge with various cables and adapters I have in hand (including OEM). Then compare it with the Magnetor X.

Wireless charger working?

I'm having problems to find a good wireless charger for my s20u... the camera module gives me issue with my old anker charger (it leaves some space between the charger and the phone) and it takes forever to fully charge it (like 6 hours from 5 to 100%). Any of u using a wireless charger that works fine with s20u? If possible, I'm looking for one that doesnt keep the phone standing up, I rather have a pad. Thanks!
I use the official Samsung one that stands up. It's like $80, but has a cooling fan and works great.

I really dont like the ones standing up because i often use the phone while charging and im worried it might fall down, anyway can you give me the exact code name of the one you're using? There are so many different chargers from Samsung. Thanks!

Thanks! I noticed its not made for the s20 ultra tho, and in the samsung page reviews:
"Had this with no issues with my S10+. On the S20 Ultra, you can only charge in landscape mode which isn't helped with the Always on Display being in portrait. It's not an east or west alignment, it's I think the Qi pad in the phone is too high and the charger itself may be too low."
Do you have a problem like that?

I charge mine in portrait all the time. I've never tried landscape though. I can try landscape Monday and post an update as the charger sits on my desk at work.

I always use portait as well so would be fine, i just dont understand why that guy said it worked in landscape only though. I guess maybe because the camera module is so big that in interferes with the charge, like with my charger now... but it works for you so I really dunno!

Maybe he's not using a case? I use an OtterBox defender pro and have used a dbrand grip.

Yea I use a case as well (ESR) but shouldnt the case make it even worse since it adds a layer? So you have some space between the phone and charger due to the module camera and also the case layer on top of that?

I bought mine from Amazon Australia. Yootech is a similar one looks a little better to be honest

Thank you!! I was hoping it was the other CHOETECH one, the one with the phone not standing... because i often use the phone while it's charging and its not confortable to me to use it while standing while its much better if its just laying on a pad.

Yes thats the one I was hoping you had. The real question is: does it work? I just had to return the one i bought yesterday because it doesnt really work well with S20U, and if you check forums all over the world a lot of people have problems to use a wireless charger with S20U. Some are WAY slower than with S10+ (like both mine, the 700mAh difference doesnt make up for 2 hours extra time), others keep disconnecting while charging it... and since I cant keep returning the chargers, I was hoping to find someone who can confirm me something that works. I was suggested the totallee one, too bad they dont see them here in europe. :/

The one i have has no issues with the 3.0 quick charge it come with. I think to get the fast charge it needs to have Samsung adaptive fast charge or quick charge 3.0 brick. My phone was charged from 5% to 100% in 2 hours and 50 minutes.
