I bought one of these: HERE
It doesn't work, so I'm wondering if any one has experience with this cable, it says it's an OTG but I get no power from it.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I tried to plug in several things like my PS3 controller and a HDD but nothing.
I'm wondering if the pin that is supposed to be shorted to ground is on the mini end and not the micro end like we want it to be.
Otherwise I wonder if I I can modify it work rather than send it back?
Do you have the 3.1 update?

I lol'd at these two getting owned
But anyway I built my own usingthis and a usb extension. Followed this instructions. So my guess is that the cable you have doesn't have the 5th pin (brown wire) grounded. I butchered a regular micro usb cable just to find out it didn't have the brown wire at all.
Hope this helps!

This is my guess also, but the eBay guy as you can see clearly sells it as an OTG cable. I have been in touch and he says his supplier says it's an OTG but he doesn't have the technical expertise to understand, let alone advise.
I guess the solution is as you say, I went to the workshop, and even tried the local electronics store and it seems you can't buy the micro-usb plug as an individual component so butchering other stuff seems to be the solution.
As for the tutorial, thanks, but I shouldn't need it, otherwise I should probably send back the certificate for my degree in Electronic Engineering that's on my wall, cause I really wouldn't have earned it

Yeh, It does look nice and neat, that's why I ordered that one, if I get the time I'll make some myself and just give them out to people I like on XDA. Just need to find the micro plug, mini plug is easy to get hold of.

Well, the iGo is no good, because they probably don't have the data lines connected, as it's for charging.
The one in your next post on eBay won't fit if it's an CA-157 substitute, I got hte real Nokia CA-157 and the connector is squared off at the end, picture: HERE
however, I did get a file to the end of my CA-157 and filed it to fit, and YES it works (taking a picture now)..... attached.
The cable you linked to on ebay is just a micro usb to a mini usb, an OTG cable is a Micro male to USB female.
4 bucks free shipping: Ebay
Spend 4 more dollars and get one with a cool blinky LED in it:

This ist a very good information and now I have the same cable as you working perfectly for me! In the first place I ordered the cable in the believe it would fit anyways but after receiving it yesterday I had to face the fact that there is an A and B standard of the micro usb plug. Your tip has saved me money, thanks for that!

No problem. I have this and the cable from my OP now working too. I opened it up and found the ID pin was not connected so I soldered it to ground and that works now. SO I have a direct cable for my HDD and a female USB (the filed Ca-157) for other stuff.

I'd heard that the stand was around £35. For a moment I thought Clove had got one, but that turns out to be the normal desk stand (I think, see http://www.clove.co.uk/accessories/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s3/cables-chargers)
Like the idea of the wireless charger because I've seen how easy it is, based on the three HP Touchpad's we've got in the house.

The Touchpad folks in the house haven't noticed any difference in charge time (apart from the initial one) between wired and wireless charging.
That said, the difference in the initial charge was quite long, (one TP was wired charged, the other two wirelessly), in the order of an hour if memory serves me. And if the Samsung charger is anything like the HP TP one then you don't have to be too precise with your device positioning.
Just wish that the Samsung S3's charger also allowed a headphone out - kind of like the old (?) Apple iPhone/iPod dock (the one with the remote). It'd be nice to give that Wolfson DAC a spin by using S3 as an iPod replacement.
The important questions are, is it compatible with my current PowerMat that I own. Also, I have read about PowerMat's new NFC charge card that should be out sometime this year. You swap out the NFC card with their NFC+Charge card and there is no need to switch phone backs.
September? WTH!

Yes what is the hold up?
What I've heard is that basically it was a last minute addition and was never going to be ready on time - it wasn't delayed, it was always expected to come this late after launch. Might get the LG Optimus LTE2 instead, as that also comes with wireless charging apparently.
Found this really good deal on ebay
for $4.99 including shipping for magnet adapter for mircoUsb
i think this is better than magnet actual cable(like in 2nd like below) because then i can use my cable for other purpose and dont have to carry 2 sort of cables.
the whole point of mircoUsb is that its universal so i like to keep it that way.

i would say this cable was pretty good. you could text while it plugged in and it would fall. which is all i wanted.
i think these are great deals wanted to share them. this is better than opening the seal and loosening them just for charging every night.
Have you received yet?
Because i heard it can't suck in phone well drop out all the time.

I bought a cheap magnetic charging cable on ebay and it doesn't stay attached well. It would be okay for in the car or on a desk perhaps, but you can't hold the phone with the cable in or pick it up, it'll just fall out.
Does anyone know if the cable pulled from the official dock is any better?

I pulled the cable from the Sony DK30 (Z Ultra dock) and it's pretty much as you described it. The cable pretty much detaches itself when I put the phone on the carpet for charging. Even if it doesn't detach, moving the phone is enough to shift the cable to the point where it stops charging.
Looks like these have made their way to Amazon now. A little more expensive but delivery is likely to be quicker http://amzn.to/1gfEhyI

I agree with you, If the magnet is too strong it will drag the phone of someone trips over the cable, pulls it... and so on.

I wouldn't want it very strong but it has almost no strength at all. if you even lightly touch the cable it dislodges it.
I'd like to hear from someone who has the official one and the 3rd party one how the magnet strengths compare
I wouldn't waste your time on the one from Amazon, my first one I had didn't work and I've just received a replacement and the magnet is so weak if you move the cable it falls off!
I'm going to wait for more to come out.

see thats the problem sony isnt making cables like these, it designed the magnet charging port for the dock not for cable when cable is a better idea. its just depends on quality of magnet used isnt the cable now.
so lets wait for other 3rd party to make better cables.
the Chinese ones are no good as for now.
atleast they brought up a great idea.
Ordered one of these on ebay and the magnet is pretty strong but it's just very sensitive to tilting (I mean, it easily goes off when putting force in an angle). That's not weird though, look at the width of the magnet. Don't think much can be done about it... I can lift the phone by the magnetic cable if I just keep it straight.
Charging seems to go pretty slow though, perhaps it's more ment to deliver power while being in a dock (and just keeping things up to par) as opposed to actually properly charging it?
Would have to check how fast/slow it actually is but seemed to differ quite a bit with the regular usb charger. Any other opinions on this?
Hi,
i get DK31 and take the cable of. No difference with what i charge the phone /magnetic cable or original charger /

That is very different to my Amazon one. There is no chance of moving the phone at all with the magnet on the cable. It holds the connector to the phone but any movement in the phone or cable and they come apart.
Do you have a link for the one you ordered ?
I think the speed of charging is entirely down to the source used. My new Macbook pro charges full speed but my wife's Dell laptop is painfully slow

Agreed.
Many people questioned Huawei behind the logic of this decision and they mentioned that it's much easier to lose the small charger puck without a cable so although it's true that the cable insertion point may break over long time use if you bend it every which way, that's not of course 100% guaranteed so in their eyes they'd rather risk that over entire loss.
Whether or not we agree is a different story of course but I'm sure someone can easily make a better third party charger if there's enough of a demand for it.

Or it could have a Type-C port for the hell of it. I would like a spare one with a non-fixed cable for traveling.
Pretty annoying that you still can't buy a second charger. I would really like two more...one for my travel bag, one for the bar in the kitchen and one for my bedroom. Also kind of annoyed that its more expensive than the somewhat similar Apple Watch charger(!) and is actually more primitive.
The Huawei charging cradle is now available at Google Store:
https://store.google.com/product/huawei_watch_charging_cradle
Got my extra charger today from the Googs. They ship it SmartPost , but it does eventually get there. It's packaged all fancy like the watch...same cloth textured cardboard, a little pull tab to pull out the inside, etc. Sorry, no pics.
Have any of you tried any of the third party charging cables on eBay?

Not what I'm after. A non-cabled unit would be much more portable, like my 360 had. I already carry multiple USB cables, so just the puck is all that is needed.

Call me crazy, but has anyone actually tried this charger on our smartwatches.. It looks an incredibly similar fit.
As a back up and spare etc, this could be a cheap option to carry around. These spurious ones even use micro usb.
If the pins are the same but location is slightly different I am sure I could modify.
