TBH, you can't go wrong with the Motorola charger. It's solid, name brand, and quick charges. (plus it's roughly 4.85 on amazon) The problem with ebay is fakes... for something like this.

Griffin 2A usb charger (charger only) use with a good microusb cable and you will never buy anything else again...
This thing charges so fast its crazy. And it's great quality, though expensive...
Be careful online.. Griffin sells their throw aways for super cheap in package so they look like retail products... (the upc might be 1 off or something)

it came with an iphone cable, gave it to my sister.

I got 2 Motorola car charges I got off of Amazon over a year ago. Never had a problem work really well with at least a dozen of phones of people who have been in my car and it charges really fast even on the GS3.

The one on amazon is real, the one you posted looks fake. The original motorola pushes out 950mA. Your mileage may very with a fake. Plus, it's half the price on amazon. Why wouldn't you be able to use amazon over ebay?

Charger for the car?

Hey everyone,
I'm planning on buying a car charger for my phone soon as I take a lot of road trips and now that I finally have a phone with navigation I thought this would be really handy to have.
My question is: What is the best cell phone charger? What should I be looking for? I hear that some chargers can burn out the battery if left in for too long.
Also, I'd like a charger that would be able to power my ipod as well.
Thanks!
Edit:
I was browsing around and saw this one:

Look in the captivate general thread for this discussion ...
Why would this be in general? this is an accessory is it not..?
the only thing I can say about that is ...

The answer your question is there regardless.
The answer to your question is a bit more involved than yes or no, and involves USB standards.
Perhaps it should be moved ... not my call to make.
i just bought this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230503161988
for $8 not bad
I got mine free from Wal-mart when I bought my captivate and it does a good job of charging it.

Got this same exact one and a blackberry micro usb charger. Works great.
For the love of God don't cheap out... Been there, done that, don't waste the $$$.
Cables that work for $1.70:

A quality Griffin charger for $11.50:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001Q2FM5E/ref=oss_product
You haven't by chance verified that the $1.70 cable fits well in the Captivate slot?
I only ask because I have a mini-to-micro USB adapter I'm using with a mini USB cable right now and it appears to fit in fine. Unfortunately in reality the plastic around the male piece blocks it from slotting in fully and I have to fiddle with it to ensure it's in well enough to charge. Moving the phone in the slightest can dislodge it and sever the connection.
I'd like to buy this cable to work with my current home/car USB chargers but wanted to make sure it wouldn't have the same issue.

Yea... I've used them to both sync and charge my phone and they work fine.
Moving the phone around won't cause it to come out.

It's not the over charging that's the problem, it's the functioning
AT&T not as good as Samsung
I bought the AT&T branded Captivate car charger at the AT&T store, but I've noticed that it doesn't fit into the phone's slot as smoothly as the wall charger that came with the phone. Because of battery power decrease problems, I've just ordered another wall charger from the Samsung website (for use at work) instead of getting a 'generic' one from AT&T.

I looked at this baby in an AT&T corporate store after popping open the package. There is no indication whatsoever about the mA. Forget asking a store clerk. They look at you like a deer in headlights.

I've got a griffin powerjolt dual ... works like a champ. I do not believe that it is a rapid charger and that it only puts out the USB2 standard 500mA per port. I personally do not like rapid chargers as I've seen problems with them in the past ... but ymmv.

I just got mine as well. Fits right in. The glowing Motorola logo is kind of annoying though.

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

I bought a bought 3M/10ft usb cable from eBay but the connection that goes into the phone is quite loose.
Can any recommend a quality/branded cable of that length from a UK stockist ?

That's hardly any help, do you not think he did that already?
To the OP, I can't recommend any specific cable to you, but I do have some experience with some of those "OEM chargers" that are often advertised on Amazon. I ordered 2 of them off amazon, and both of them were not actually OEM chargers and they both barely worked. One didn't even charge my phone (emailed the seller and got a refund, but it's the principle), and the other one had a faulty tip that didn't sit tight in my phone. The only thing I can suggest is being careful, sorry I can't link you a cable. Hope you find one.

I have bought many cables from digitalkynectonline on Ebay. The cables have held up very good. I have bought 6ft and 10ft cables and they are reasonably priced. The ends are molded unlike some of the cheap cables you get on ebay.The cord is heavier than than alot to and seems to take alot of abuse. The ends seem to fit in the phone nice and tight.
I have putchased the cheap ones off of amazon. Only use prime. Most work for several months. Expensive ones seem to work as well as the cheap ones. If I get one that does not work I ship it back at no cost. For $2 or $3 dollars a cable it is worth it.

I don't like buying cables chargers or batteries on amazon eBay or other similar sites. I've been burned a few times. Rather then taking my chances, I order from reputable company's only. I would recommend PowerByGen they are very good products. Check them out. http://www.powerbygen.com/Cables_c_12.html

I know this might seem out of left field, but Motorola's MicroUSB cables have always been incredibly reliable for me. They're made tough and any deep operations I may do (S-OFF, adb sideloading, etc) work flawlessly with them. They're not the perfect price like at monoprice.com but if you don't care about price and just want quality, Moto ain't too shabby.

Just want to know how it works with the Nexus 5. It is at a pretty good price and decently rated as a 4 starred device on Amazon.

AT&T was running a deal a few days ago where you get 25% off if you buy 3 accessories. I bought 3 of the Nokia wireless chargers for around $60. Might check and see if they still have that deal going.
I use this one (broke it down and mounted in my car dock) with my N7 LTE ... Charges faster (measuring amps) than wired connections. Just grabbed one for my N5.

sure thing.... I've been meaning to take some pictures of it anyway... it's amazing what you can do with a little bit of foam double sided sticky tape. Keep in mind this is for an N7 tablet so it has a bit bigger footprint than a phone car mount.
With that said, I hope someone (like google) does a QI car charger mount. I'm already missing my gnex pogo mount.

I know. More concerned about how exactly these things are usually configured prior to being slapped in a nice square plastic case to be plopped on a desk/dresser/etc... to see if doing what i'm thinking about is even possible. If they come small enough, i might be able to get it to work. If not, i might still be able to rig something up somehow.
Yes, though I didn't use it, this one seems really cheap. But for me, a reasonable priced product means quality to me. I would highly recommend this one, "RAVPower Qi-Enabled Wireless Charger". It's really light and a great gadget to charge my lumia 920 in a wireless way. They're also compatible with many models. You can check it here from its amazon page, simply search RavPower wireless charger.

That's kind of what I thought until I read an article online the other day that talked about how most Qi chargers are made in China for less than $2. After reading that I told my self I am not paying over $20 for a Qi charger and found one for $10 shipped on Amazon. Its been awesome and I can't find any flaws with it.

-Yeah, I didn't notice the 1A detail when I bought it, but that is kinda funny. I know it's using 1.5A because I hooked it up to my Kill-a-watt and that's what it was reading- 7.5W, 5V, 1.5A. So that is kind of odd, but cool.
-I haven't tested it from 0-100, but from 2%-80%, it took right at 1hr, 15 minutes.

$19 Qi Charger That Works Great!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E9MUNWU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I ordered one to test it out and I love it. I already ordered another one for the nightstand.
$19, no tax and free shipping. It took about 2 weeks to get to me but for the price I'm ok with that.
I'm not sure about charging time but it doesn't seem slow. It only comes with a usb cable so if you need a power plug for an outlet then you will need to supply your own.
I've only used it caseless so far as the cases I ordered are taking their sweet time coming in.
I didn't think I would like wireless charging that much but ... yeah, I like it alot.
I think its better to add a few bucks and get this: http://www.amazon.com/Okeler-Wireless-Charging-Charger-Samsung/dp/B00EXLZIF4/ref=pd_rhf_ee_p_d_7
much better looking
Round or rectangle, its just a personal preference.
I wouldn't mind a small super shallow one for my carholder.
Yea..or. You can buy the Nokia DT-900 Qi Plates from a known company with history for $25 shipped new in box on ebay all day long.
And unlike either of those it comes with both a AC Adapter and cable and does not ship from China.
Shhhh, don't tell anyone but they are all probably made in china.

This is where I got mine, he sold 17 of them new for $25 shipped.

I also did some searching and seems there are a bunch for $30 right now. If you check back ever few days you'll def be able to nab one for around $25 or maybe even less. There's a ton of them out there since they came free with Lumia purchases. I don't think I've seen any for 70 dollars, seems the highest is around 40.
here's the AT&T link, I bought 3 of these a month or so back. Deal still looks active.

Here's another for even cheaper. It used to be $19, but they discounted all their models to $15.

Can confirm this one work great for a car dock mod
I just ordered the Nokia one from Amazon! I trust Amazon more than at&t for a few more dollars! My nexus 4 charging orb would cause burn in on my screen so I had to stop using that! For example when I load Facebook, u can clearly see it on the blue screen when its loading

I ordered one to test it out and I love it. I already ordered another one for the nightstand.
$19, no tax and free shipping. It took about 2 weeks to get to me but for the price I'm ok with that.
I'm not sure about charging time but it doesn't seem slow. It only comes with a usb cable so if you need a power plug for an outlet then you will need to supply your own.
I've only used it caseless so far as the cases I ordered are taking their sweet time coming in.
I didn't think I would like wireless charging that much but ... yeah, I like it alot.

I work for AT&T and the Nokia DT-900 is currently 50% off. It's not advertised and I didn't even know about it until I scanned it and saw it. Lucky me I get an added 40% discount. I'm not into wireless charging, but for only $15 I'll take it!
Getting back to the Lerway... I own one and it's a pretty decent charger. Not too finicky about positioning and appears to charge as fast as hardwired. It's actually a rubberized plastic which I didn't realize from the pictures, this compliments the N5 quite nicely.
But, if you can get a Nokia for 5 bucks more, don't be stupid, go for the Nokia.
I have two Nokia Qi chargers, one at work and one at home. They're great with the Nexus 5, no problems at all.
ONE WARNING THOUGH: The DT-900 use a proprietary charging cord. Not micro USB. Don't get the DT-900 for use in your car, it won't work!
They make a car charger, with a one piece cord that plugs into a car cigarette charger, but that is the CR-200 and will cost you more than the on-sale prices people have posted.
I have mentioned it few times now but the one in eBay is 10 dollars and change and works great . nice packaging too and ships fast . that's what I use every night.
