You don't need the same micro-usb cable that came with the phone. any micro-usb cable will work just as good. I have found that the cable that comes with this phone works well only with this phone and constantly loses connection with other devices. If your looking for a replacement cable, I would stay away from the Samsung OEM cable.

Stay away from cheap Sears ones to.mine makes my touch screen all jumpy while it is plugged in.

I got a few of these a while back. They are identical in every way to the cable that came with my Infuse, AT&T Galaxy S2 and now my T-Mobile Galaxy S2. They are "real" Samsung cables (not that it matters).
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Repla...ef=sr_1_1?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1324396585&sr=8-1
and here with the OEM charger: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Travel-Charger-Adapter-MicroUSB/dp/B0049IE70I/ref=pd_cp_cps_1
That being said, the 98cent cables from Monoprice work perfectly fine.

I have bought plenty of other cables, but its just that the cable my SG2 came with is really good and it fits nicely and secure in my phone. I've bought a lot that seem to not stick in the slot properly
This is the cable it cane with.

Thats not the same cable that comes with the t-mobile galaxy s2. That charger isn't the t-mobile galaxy s2 oem charger either.
To the op, I have yet to see a place that has the actual cable or chargers that come with our phones.
Edit: op, the Tmobile sensation 4G micro cable is a decent cable and does sit securely in this phone. I'd take that cable as a 2nd choice if needed urgently.

I don't have my phone since it arrives tomarrow, but every BlackBerry cable I've ever tried on my Vibrant worked just fine. Heck I even use my wifes BlackBerry car adapter now and then. They both use the micro usb cable. I can't see why they would be any different for the SGII.

Yeah I have the sensation 4G cable as well. I bought these gold plated cables online, but they don't charge my phone. Spent $10 for 3 of them. What a waste.
I previously bought 3 other cables from a different company and they were a POS. They came apart with in weeks. No joke. But I found that original SG2 T-MOBILE cable to be amazingly good. I wouldn't mind spending cash on them.

That's not the cable that came with mine. I got the same cable for the T989 as I got with the AT&T Infuse and the AT&T GS2 i777. All except the Infuse came from corp stores in sealed boxes. I guess they change "official cables" depending on their inventory. Mine all are all (Amazon ones and the ones in the box) identical to this one: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/APCBU10BBEBSTD as are the ones I linked to on Amazon and all have the Samsung logo on them and are sealed Samsung packages with the part number on them. If you go to the link above click on the "see all" button.
Also added a pic of the charger that came with both GS2's (AT&T and T-Mo) but not with the Infuse, that was slightly different but the cables were the same. It too is the same as the one from Amazon I linked to that was like $10 for the OEM cable and OEM charger.

Oh wow. I got completely different cables and charger. Mine came sealed too and they have the Samsung logo. I'll upload some pics when I get home. The quality build on the cable and charger are really good. That's why I wanna get some spares.

That picture is the exact charger/cable that comes WITH the infuse and not the gs2. You got shafted. As the cable that comes with the gs2 is more premium and the charger is like the ipod/iphone one but in black.
Guess chargers just aren't your thing.

Thanks, your photo is very helpful since it confirms what I've haven't otherwise been able to confirm, the charger outputs up to 0.7A.
I picked up a T989 off of ebay that didn't come with a charger. Hmm. Anyway, my Nexus One chargers seem to work fine with it, but 0.5A chargers do not charge it. FWIW, the T989 manual at Samsung pictures a charger that looks like this one at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OSURT2
which is claimed to be up to 1.0A

The only problem with the oem cable is that it is too short.

If you're still looking for it search Droid Charge OEM charger on eBay.

Official Samsung Docks

They are now listed available to order and will ship in three days, 1/23.
http://www.mycellworld.com/Samsung-OEM-Multimedia-Desktop-Dock-P182792877-P93055.htm
http://www.mycellworld.com/Samsung-OEM-Vehicle-Navigation-Mount-P182792874-P93056.htm
They both only list compatibility with the i515 so I wonder if they will work all the same with the i9250.

The car dock (second link) is the same one that's been on Samsung's website for a while:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECS-K1F8BEGSTA
It DOES NOT have the pins for use on the side of the Nexus.
I'm looking for one that does have the pins so I don't have to unplug everything when I want to take the phone in and out of the dock.

The description for the car dock says you can plug your car charger directly to the mount. I'm so confused. I just want the pins...

Honestly I'd be happy just to use the desktop dock in my car. Double sided Velcro and stick it right to my dash. It's what I do with the car dock anyways (using the disk thing it comes with) and there's no annoying suction cup to worry about when the temperature drops. Plus it's lower profile and much easier to drop the phone in and out of. Especially when the suction doesn't want to play along.

I posted this mainly because I hadn't seen the multimedia dock available yet anywhere else, I just included the car dock link in case someone wanted both.

Seriously? $64.95 for a piece of plastic with USB headphone jacks wired to the prongs. Did Samsung subcontract this out to Monster Cables? Nice to be able to insert/remove phone wihout plugging/unplugging, but pricing is obscene.

Yes I made a thread asking about this about a week ago about a 3 pin charging cradle. Its finally coming out! .....and then I seen the price of the damn thing -.-

That is exactly the same thing I first noticed. As much as I want a dock for my phone there is no way I am going to spend 65 bucks on it plus another 10 dollars or so on shipping the stupid thing to me.

but does the official pogo pin car dock support VZW models?
i don't think it was made for the vzw models.

and why would you say its the old crappy version? just the price? the picture and discrption are of the good one. part number is even different although that could be their internal cataloging number. still no evidence of this being the old verizon model.
as for the price on the desktop dock, i'm assuming it has to do with the internals. has an hdmi output while only physicly connecting to the phone via 3-prong connector. supposedly the car dock sends audio to the mount via bluetooth and the mount is able to give you the aux output line from there. wondering if it is sending data to the home version the same way.

Well I know its no iPhone 4s in terms of volume, but how hard would it be to be for an aftermarket company to make a car cradle that works with pogo connectors? All you have to do is have raised spring loaded prongs so that it would work with a tpu case.

Desktop dock is pretty awesome, but a little too pricey. Nice find

The description of the desk dock looks pretty off. That thing DOES NOT have an HDMI port unless it comes with an extra wire to hook into the micro USB port. Take a look here for all the official dock options which may or may not arrive. http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/02/samsung-galaxy-nexus-docks-and-chargers-get-a-proper-fondling-prongs-put-to-use/#more-54594

Try to find two DV casette cases and make this: http://imgur.com/a/wruWi#0 I'm going to add in Micro USB to HDMI® MHL Adapter soon to the bottom case and boom you've got yourself a media dock for less than $12.

guys did you think about one issue,that power button is at the same side as 3 gold pins ?? so inserted without root it would be pretty useless

I never used the power button on my Nexus S when it was docked.

Desktop doc

Hey there all. I just got my S2 this past week. It's a nice repalcement from my old MyTouch 3G.
I was looking at getting a desktop doc for my work, and was wondering if anyone has seen/gotten this one:
USB Battery Dock Cradle For Samsung Galaxy S2 II i9100 from eBay.
(I'd post the link, but guess I'm still a noob )
It says that it's for the i9100, but I figure ours would fit as well. Also, it will connect to the PC instead of just charging.
It's cheap, but I don't want to toss $10 bucks down the drain if I don't have to.
Thanks

is that slot in back for an extra battery? that is a nice looking dock, but i think the i9100 is smaller?
also, welcome to xda... here's your first thanks!

Yeah, that's what it's supposed to be for. Guess I need to keep looking. I was thinking the i9100, and ours was the same size.

10 bucks?! I only see it for ~$20
I thought the i9100 was bigger? because the T989 is more rounded?
Can anyone confirm because I would love one of these.
I like the samsung one for ours, but dislike how it doesn't charge the phone. It's only a stand and it was $50!

Galaxy Nexus Desktop Dock Now available @ Expansys

Hi All,
just thought I would let you know the Desktop dock is now available from Expansys UK @ £49.99, showing 100+ in stock.
The price is not the best, but its the only place with stock at the moment.
Thanks

Just got mine from amazon

Got mine from Amazon (Germany) too, yesterday... like it very much, and got a nice surprise when the stock launcher went into portrait mode while docked --- EDIT: oh sorry, I meant Landscape mode of course.

It only charges the phone?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

From the looks of it only charging and audio + the infamous dock mode or at least thats what says on the site .

Can anyone check if it works with the CDMA version? What about the extended battery?

I am kinda upset now that this is available when I just spent some money on a MHL adapter.

I'm all for the desktop dock, but the issue I have is that little USB jack in the ass end of my phone is very delicate, and I'd rather not "jam" it down on any metal jack over and over and....you get the point.
Admittedly with dropbox and so forth the micro USB jack is only good for flashing roms, and for now charging.
I'm holding out for the pogo pin adapter.
A long time ago with my first microusb jack phone on my USB A to Micro USB Male cord I took the male jack and filed the "hooks" off of the USB connector so that it slid in easily with no force at all. I found it hard to gauge the force due to the "hooks" pushing back or a misalignment being the case.
I don't see the dock on Amazon or Expansys US sites, can anyone post a link?

I'd like a link as well.
Unfortunately for me, I was able to damage the USB port on the galaxy nexus (don't ask me how, I have no idea), and once I get the replacement part I wouldn't like to take the risk again.
It's a bit overpriced, but I think it looks cool to use it as a clock at side of my bed. Would be nice too if a USB port was on it, but I think it doesn't.

I think the topic creator was talking about this dock here that is available with the pogo pins
http://www.expansys.com/samsung-google-galaxy-nexus-desk-stand-226695/

Hey, it is not possible to turn the screen off while on this dock? I do not see a way to hit the power button like the car dock has (the button extension on the car dock itself).... That would really be a bummer....

Can anyone post a pic of the back?
I want to see if it works with the seidio extended battery.

I just called customer service to see why my order is still being processed and they told me it will be out of stock until april 10th. I wasn't going to play this "oh its coming next week" every week game with them, so I cancelled my order... I'll just buy from Amazon.de or Amazon.co.uk

Yes thank you, i wondered how people had got mixed up with the HDMI dock, which is obviously named and looks a lot different.........
so what you guys rate it out of 10? the reason i ask is i have a tendancy to break to micro usb ports on my phones, and think the pogo pins would save me from doing this....
thanks guys!!!

I dont see why it wouldnt work. Just seems to use the micro usb port. I hope they make a samsung dock that includes an extra battery like they did with the gnex.

According to the Samsung Accessories page they have one
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-T999MBATMB-accessories
Samsung Galaxy S® III Spare Battery Charging System
ETC-CP1G6LGSTA
but it doesn't look like it has a charging port for the phone and the spare battery..

$50 for a desktop dock or a car dock. That is outrageous for a piece of plastic.

I can't decide if I want to buy two docks or wait for an all-in-one option. I want something that will charge the phone, the battery, and have built in line out. Nothing I've seen has all three.
Maybe I'll wait till Jelly Bean comes out with play-through USB feature and just get a clock dock.
