accessories of my wildfire just arrived, case,protector,converter,auto charger - Wildfire Accessories

see the images.
I try to get a case when I brought the wildfire,but they said it's not existing.
so I ordered from a shop one week ago.
most of shops said it will arrived at this friday.
I ordered a case, but is comes as a 3 in 1 pack, case ,screen protector,and a cleaner.
also, I got 3 mini usb to micro usb converter. because most of my charger and cable is mini usb. and I don't keep a lot of new micro usb cables. just a converter is OK.
and a auto 12v charger, my old one is dead. this time I pick a conpact design,and support 1A quick charge.
totally around ¥130 = 130/6.8=$20
the case is tight, fit very well.
only one small problem, the power key at the top, you need to press it harder than before. sometimes troble me when using one hand operate.

I forgot the most important thing I brought today,
Mr.Android!

it's on a local web shop, like ebay, but mostly cover domestic because of language.
may be you can try it on ebay.
there sould be some Hongkong dealer's support international delivery.
I can only help you with the price for reference.

I have the superbly gorgeous RED version of the Wildfire - any chance that case exists in Red? If yes, any chance you could help a fellow out and buy me a set - I'll paypal you the cost + some extra for the bother..?

While I'm waiting for my Wildfire to be unlocked (thank you 3!!) ebay has taken a bit of a hammering!
6 screen protectors £1.95
Extra sync lead £2.84
Car charger £2.25
Oh and a Wildfire specific car mount (not ebay) from USA $11.09
I might order a couple of those mini-micro adaptors as they could come in handy

Well the red one might possibly - maybe - probably not tho..do...
As the color of my wildfire is a way more delicate red I'd like to find something more colortrue to the actual phone...
as for the bling version. lol. if i were a 12-yo girl maybe - in this life - never! - But thanks a lot for trying

USB data cable

Do any of you guys and gals know of an aftermarket cable that will work with the captivate. I lost the original one that came with the phone. Have since bought two different chargers, one from the att store (zero charger), and they charge the phone but don't put it on USB mode like the original one did when I plug it to a laptop.
Sent from my rooted Cappy.
All you need is a standard MicroUSB to USB cable. Make sure it's a standard cable, and not a "charge only" cable though.
A bit of advise, generally if you buy a cable that isn't a Samsung USB cable, you're going to have to take a razor blade to your new cable and cut away some of the rubber around the MicroUSB plug. You'll see that untrimmed, you might have a hard time getting the cable secured in the phone's port.
Thanks man. I actually just noticed the "charging only cable" written on the tag on the cable. Now I know what to look for. And you're right, the one I bought from a gas station was always popping out. The one from att fits like a glove though.
Sent from my rooted Cappy.
All it takes is a razor blade or something similar, and a few seconds. I use a bunch of generic USB cables which all have fat plug heads. Trimming a little of the rubber off and they all work perfect.
Weird, for some reason my original cable from ATT now is really loose, I have to like set the phone down a certain way to keep it charging/plugged in.
The only cables that now do fit snuggly are the ones from my external mini hard drives with the fat head, haha, I wonder why...my captivate still looks normal, can't figure it out.
I guess I should see if my normal cable fits with my externals or falls out of those too, if so it would be the cable. But it seems weird that the fat headed cables fit snuggly with my captivate, so that makes me think maybe its the captivate.
long winded stupid post, sorry.
i bought a blackberry cable from best buy... data and charging... 16 bucks. but when ever your puppy ate your data cable in the middle of the night and you're phone is at 30% battery, ya tend to pay for it...

Check out www all4cellular DOT com
They have the OEM Samsung Captivate (U.S./Edison) Wall Charger and USB Charging+Data Cable for $6.95 + $2 Shipping.
The item number is "eta0u60jbe". But this item # includes BOTH the USB Wall Charger (# ETA0U60JBE) AND the USB-to-Micro USB data/charging Cable (# ECC1DU2BBE)!
I bought two of these and they are EXACTLY like the original Charger and ~5ft. USB Cable that comes with the Captivate. They are OEM/Samsung-branded and labeled and are not Chinese-made knock-offs. I am in SoCal and received them within a few days of ordering.
Here's a direct link:

I had similar issues, till I realized that the problem was with the sliding door for the microUSB port - make sure it is pushed all the way back (you may hear a click) - its only then that all my MicroUSB cables fit w/out any modifications to them.
as always YMMV.
hope that helps
I second the Monoprice.com recommendation. I buy ALL my cables there. The heads on their micro USB cables are too large to plug into the Captivate unmodified, but I used a Dremel to fix that.
Both of my Monoprice cables are going strong, in contrast with my OEM cable, which started out excellent, but is now so loose as to not maintain a connection unless the phone and cable are precisely arranged.

I have the same problem with the original cable not fitting snug. Yes, the door is open all the way...until the click. I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one have the problem. Been doing it since day 1. I'm afraid to cut any bit of it off since its already slimmed down and there isn't much left to cut

I have a 1009 model. Assuming that means it was manufactured Sept,2010. Now to find a microUSB
We have some micro USB 5' Cables coming in Monday. If they are like the sample they not only fit the Captivate properly, but when plugged into our new Car Plug ->USB (2100mA) adapter, my Captivate shows "Charging (AC) ".
We originally brought in the Hi-Power USB car adapter so iPad & Tablet customers could both run & charge at the same time. We have had enough request from customers looking to use it with Smart Phones, that I had to find the best matching cable.

Monoprice...ALWAYS!!
As mentioned, get your cables from monoprice. I mean, you just can't beat a usb cable for $2. If it needs trimmed, I usually just use a razor knife/box cutter to remove the bulk, and it works perfectly. I actually had to order a 25ft. VGA cable from them a couple of days ago...$8. Seriously. Definitely the cheapest place I've seen to buy cables.

Are MHL cables basically the same??

Hi guys
I seen these cables as cheap as 5.00 up to 30.00 and up for this adapter
So did anyone try the cheap ones and do they work just as good as the Samsung adapters???
I find no difference. I bought dealerextreme.
Sorry for my english.
no problem thx
It's a standard connection type, so they should all be the same (although manufacturing quality may not be the same on some of those cheaper ones I guess).
i bought one at monoprice and the screen constantly flickers from the note. ive heard others say the same thing and that the official samsung mhl adapter does not do this. any truth to this?
I have a few HTC chargers at home and a car charger none of them work on the note.so even though the port may look the same there seem to be some differences.the same might apply for MHL cables as well.
On ebay there are some cheap adapters which described as "genuine" (search f.e for item 120834740772). Is it really genuine Samsung?
Has anyone bought and tried it?
I bought this:

Don't buy those. They are very bad quality, USB connector broken off. They are either Samsung QA failed item or knock off. The seller trying to trick you into believing it's OEM with packaging. Stay away.

Yes, I also thought there's something wrong there.
Too much to be be truth.
I got a cheap one and the screen does flicker to white noise, for a couple of milliseconds every now and then, so basically works perfect.
I bought a $10 one from amazon (ASIN: B005SV08SK) and it seems to work good. It came with an extra usb cable to power it too.
I'm glad I sold mine that came with the 4 infuses on Ebay back when we bought them. They were going for big bucks and I made out like a bandit

USB Dock Station for Galaxy Note for only $6.78 + Free Shipping

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 know why anybody would do this but i will check it tonight see if it works!)

Thnx.
I ordered one of these to station on my bedside cabinet, so my note would act as a nice alarm clock. The unit is reasonably solid, but feels a little unstable out of the box (it wants to tip over backwards if placed on a less than solid surface, e.g. carpet)). However, once you plug your power cable into it this seems to help with the stability due to the location of the socket.
The unit itself has a very subtle light on the top, like a thin white crescent, to show when the unit is powered, and the contour of the aperture fits the Note's body perfectly. In fact, it holds it incredibly tightly, so I have no risk of accidentally knocking the note out of the cradle during a particularly robust "bedroom gymnastics" session with Mrs RTR, if you get my drift.
All in all, I'm more than happy with mine.
I tried a few different docks, but ultimately decided to go dock-free, simply because these docks are pretty much only usable with the Note naked, whereas I prefer leaving my Note in its case 24-7.

I don't blame you.
But I almost never use any phone with cases. I sure buy couple but like after week or two stop using them.They make them phones thick.
But I recently dropped my note , and it has scratch/ding . So back to case till the dock arrives.

There are some docks now appearing which have removable rubber inserts which claim to accommodate the Note with a Gel/TPU case, e.g.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Desktop-C...-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-i9220-AC32-/170817592805
Anybody tried one?
Thanks.
BTW I offered the seller 5.99 ea. for two,he gave me $6.49 for TWO.
So try offering him lower price. not a huge saving but hey dosent hurt to try!

Just read the description on the eBay page and looks like it ships only with the cradle and no cable included ...
MHL dont 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 have the same one from deal extreme. The dock was a little snug at first, but has loosened to a great fit. I've been using my phone as an alarm clock for a long time now and I can finally see the dang thing without picking it up now. Only thing I wish it had was a home button on the base so I could wake the phone without pushing it back. Overall I'm very happy for $12 shipped.
i like it, but can't buy, because i'm living in vn, so......

Cheapest original white usb cable

Hi All,
I have broke my original usb cable and looking for one in white color as my handset and charger both are white. I have checked ebay, only cable is like €13 and charger plus cable is €13.50. Cant understand why only cable is like that expensive. I remember previously I managed to find it in less than €5. But now seems to be double in price.
Guys any idea or link where can I buy cheapest in Germany or from web.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks & Regards,
Uppal

European plug for charger?

I'm looking to find the European plug for the Galaxy Note 10.1 charger to replace the US one when I'm traveling.
Can anyone help me locate it or find the part number for it, please?
Thanks in advance!
I've simply bought a charger on ebay. For less than eight bucks you get the plug plus a charger and usb cable :good: (search for "EU Mains Travel AC Charger Adapter + USB Cable Samsung P6200 P6800 P7300 P7500" )

Is that OEM, original Samsung?
Also, I'm always wary about purchasing things from Hong Kong or China. Would prefer Europe. Thanks!
What's strange is, the GT-N8013 plug (excluding the cable) comes in two sections: the prong and the charging head. You would think the purpose of this is to interchange various prongs into the same charging head when traveling. But it seems that these interchangeable prongs that fit this charging head are difficult to find! I'm looking for a European one myself, with no luck. Why buy a whole new plug when you can just change the prong? It defeats the purpose of the interchangeable and portable design.

You can buy that plug from Ebay as noted above and only use the prong with the stock charging head(or visa versa) but who's to say it will fit? I don't want to spend extra $ and wait two weeks for delivery to find out it won't fit or work.
The prong interface/connection to the charging head seems proprietary, or almost proprietary.
I can tell you that it will definitely fit - I use mine this way

Well, I ordered one of these and just as suspected, they are NOT BRAND NEW. That's why I don't like buying stuff from China. You have to wait 2 weeks for disappointment. You think they're new? Look at them more closely. Garbage. They repackage these from the bottom so the seal is not broke.
Thanks for the update!
I contacted Samsung about getting just the plug as a replacement part, and I must say they weren't very helpful, saying that I'd have to just buy a new charger. For the moment I'm just using a simple plug adapter which is doing the trick, but I hate the extra bulk. Ugh! First-world problems!

Yes, I hear ya. You can order that one from Ebay. They are the correct type and Euro prongs will fit your Samsung plug but they are not new. These are repackaged with scratches, marks, scuffs, nasty and they have THE NERVE to re-apply the protective clear plastic film back on the pieces! And these sellers on Ebay are selling them as NEW!. Granted, it is only $8 but everything is scratched and the supplied cable doesn't fit properly into the 30-pin jack. So you're paying 8 dollars for a European plug. I never even tested it because I'm not in Europe yet. The prongs could be messed up too!
Samsung's response and marketing is just ridiculous in this respect. WHY make a two section plug when you can't swap the prongs out when traveling. Defeats the whole purpose of it's design. Defeats the whole purpose of portability WHICH THIS TABLET IS ALL ABOUT. It perturbs me.
I am looking for the same thing. We purchased 2 note 10.1 tablets in Australia and live in Italy. I have been looking for a travel kit, but the only one I have seen is in Hong Kong. I will probably just buy a new European adapter, and one for the US if we still have them when we go back.
Generally when we travel I take 2 good (SKOSS) universal travel adapters and a 3-way plug adapter. Hotels (and most houses/apartments) have a limited number of outlets and not always the standard plugs. With this setup I can charge everything overnight on 1 or 2 outlets. When traveling lighter, I just take the cables and use the 2 port usb adapter that comes with the SKOSS travel adapter and charge a little slower overnight.
By the way I have had the same problem with several different devices. I have never been able to buy the plugs separately from the oem. If you are sure you need the standard European 2 round prong plug, there are very small and cheap US to European adapters. We have 20 to 30 of them and they work well. Just be sure or you will be spending far too much on a travel adaptor when you get there. In stores they can run 50 euro. You can get them cheaper online, but that is not usually an option when traveling.

That's what I'm running with right now. 50 cent adapters bought online. Work great, just a little bit of a nuisance having a plug in a plug...
I found another solution for this problem. The connecter for the interchangable plug is the same as the really cheap 2 prong connector for most electronics. Instead of using the plastic plug, use the cheap plastic cable that comes with most radios or DVD players (that aren't permenantly attached). I purchased 2 European travel chargers then noticed the shape of the plug is the same as the generic 2 prong cable.

It is so call 8 plug. Search on eBay. Even your laptop's charger has that plug most likely.

He hah! I thought so. It's what I would call the pig tail that that plugs into the wall and then into the power brick. You have one with your battery chargers, old hard drive adapters, universal power supplies.
I thought it was the same, glad to have it confirmed. I already travel with one that I use for a battery charger, universal power supply and an inverter.

This also makes it easier for me because the Samsung usb cable is so short. I can use the "pig tail" to plug into the wall and the brick is closer to where I need it to charge my Note while I use it.
This cable is really inexpensive and works better than a cheap adapter. Just stay away from the sony version, it has a square side and I don't think it will fit.

I have been able to find these cables locally in most large cities internationally. I have also been known to order from amazon a week or 2 before traveling, and have things delivered to my hotel. Saves time and money, but can be problematic, mostly from credit card companies.

It depends, I see a lot of "Micky Mouse" (3 prong grounded) connectors for laptops, but YMMV.
I keep a couple at work for visitors, our genius IT department said they would have to order the whole power supply to get the cables, I just went to a local electronics store and paid 2 euro each for the cables...
