Just in case you guys wanted to know I just bought a Car Charger from eBay for under $5. I checked with Verizon and it costs around $30. Though I'm sure the build quality is gonna be better with Verizon.

My previous phone was a HTC Vogue AKA Verizon XV6900 and all of the cables that came with it work with the Eris...
Any car charger with a USB port will do. I picked one up at bestbuy for $5, use it for my iTouch and Eris. Works great D:

I second that. I bought the one from Verizon because I needed one right away for a road trip. It's just a basic USB car charger.
so my BB curves mini usb car charger will work for my Eris?
thats awesome.....
Another option is to use the Griffin Powerjolt Dual Universal and your stock cord. You can see it at griffintechnology dot com

The only great thing about monster is the profit margin they make stores. God I used to love convincing people how they "needed" a monster cable to get things to work the way they should. Of course this was when I made commision way back when I sold them lol.

Just order from monoprice and get the amazing gold plated microUSB cable for like a dollar.
LOL, Monster Cables.
Better one though is the Denon ethernet cable that costs $500: http://usa.denon.com/us/Product/Pag...roductId=f7d26b3a-05a6-4724-a5c1-2a63642a6206

Yep. Bought that one for the car and bought 2 6ft ones for indoors. All work flawlessly.
I ordered some generic cables on eBay and they work just fine. I do like the way that the micro usb side of the cable that came with the phone is angled, making it easier to plug in in the dark.
I've looked online and found the Samsung replacement part but it appears they are only 2' 9" long (which is a LOT shorter than the cable that came with the phone).
Here's one of the sites where I found this:
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=38609&cat=888
Has anyone seen a longer (and possibly cheaper) cable like this?
Thanks!

Just buy the monoprice cable and score the right side of the microusb end with a knife or something so you can easily insert it in the dark.
Anyone seen one that is at a right angle that goes in the phone instead up straight up?
So when plugged in, in the car and mounted it doesn't go up like 2 inches before it turns back down.
**nevermind found one on ebay (searched usb cable micro angled)
I bought a 2 pack of retractable cables on ebay for portable charging. To my surprise they work to transfer data, too. It's interesting because the last retractable phone cable I bought could only be used to charge (samsung instinct)
Bought mine from NewEgg and an expensive one is about $15. I choose some that were $4 a piece. Works great
Just placed my order for 2 6ft ones. One to have at work and one at home.

do not get right angle! I made that mistake, it covers the 3.5 mm audio.
get an "Up angle" for a while usbfirewire.com was the only vendor and was $16 to $20 shipped depending on length, but they recently started showing up on ebay for $7 shipped.
I got an up angle from this vendor and it came fairly fast for hong kong (abut 7 days) and was a very good gauge and quality:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Usb-male-AM-up-angle-90-degree-micro-B-cable-/390255590008
$7 shipped
Can anyone recommend a *thin and flexible* USB charging cable? I bought these from Amazon and although they work fine, they are too stiff and thick and I am worried that they will damage my port with prolonged use since I have to bend the cable before the phone lies flat on the table while charging. There are many other options out there but it is hard to judge by the picture how thin and flexible the cable is. I am looking for something as thin and flexible as the OEM cable. Thanks
Got mine in the mail the other day. Took about 3 days or so to get. Very quick shipping. The usb part that plugs into the phone is pretty snug.
What HDMI cable are you using and where did you get it for your Charge?
I bought a cable from amazon. Works perfectly.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UH0Z9Q
That's awesomely cheap. Ordered.
Monoprice adapter
I went and just ordered a short adapter with a cord so I can use my super long HDMI cables with it and not have to worry about an adapter putting all that stress on the port. Also it is dirt cheap.

not bad i just ordered mine.
I was when i found out the phone didn't include one.
thnks!
Monoprice is awesome! I get all my cables from them, they are top quality, cheap and shipped quickly, what more can you ask for? Monster Cable should be shot for what they charge for their stuff
Wow that is cheap, just ordered mine I can't wait for it to come

I got that one, I leave it hooked up to one my my Sony Bravia's HDMI ports (it has 4).
I can't get audio to play via HDMI for the life of me. I tried two different HDMI cables/adapters, multiple HDMI ports, reboots, etc.
Halp.
Selective HDMI sound
Is there a way to control where the HDMI sound goes to. Because sometime I have monitors i hook my phone up to and would like to be able to control the sound to come out of the speaker on the phone?
.... Swypo... Delete
This is sort of on and off topic. Anyway, to these users, what kind of things can be displayed with the HDMI cable? Can you stream things like netflix, youtube, slingplayer, ETC? I currently a TB owner, but so far I have had a lot of issues and we will leave it at that.
Using the cable I had gotten for my X2. The X2 starter kit was on sale for $20 on release week
Nevermind, found the answer.
Cheap Chinese one from eBay. Works fine, but build quality is questionable to say the least.

Wow, 80 cents??? I just ordered one, but should have ordered two or three at that price.
I just received my cable from monoprice.com today. hooked it up to the TV and everything worked great. I would suggest buying the cable from there if you are looking for one. Video and sound worked flawlessly.
Can anyone confirm that the very cheap one off Amazon in the 2nd post has working audio? If not i'll just go with Monoprice,
Thanks,
I got one from walmart belkin 6 footer for 30$ and it works great.

I got the official HTC brand car charger on Amazon for $15. It has 2 charging usb ports and comes with a coiled micro usb cable. While your Inspire is plugged into the 1st port, the 2nd port can be used to charge any device that gets its power from a usb port (such as an iphone, ipod, etc for example). I imagine the official charger is $25-$30 at AT&T or Best Buy, so Amazon is the way to go. I wouldn't trust the cheap crap on eBay. Yes it's cheaper, but $15 on Amazon isn't exactly big money.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003OQUJRQ <<the link says for HTC Thunderbolt, but it works with the Inspire
thanks, i'll get it from amazon.
Hi
I just bought a 3rd party microUSB cable from ebay for $2. In outer material comparison it is better than my HTC stock cable. I did notice some differences in the microUSB pin though. Can some one please tell me if.this causes any issues in operating ? If you see the last image the female area for the actual connecting pin is slightly smaller than the stick cable's. Though if I gently connect it to my phone it does fit.
So aren't these things supposed to be standardize ? Why is the HTC pin different ?

Mind posting a link to we're you bought it from.
And how are they performing?
My wife always has issues with cables on her sensation, some end up fitting really loosely and fall out extremely easily. The last one I bought her was $20 and worked great, but is really beat up now, I need to get another one.
Type R-blood
This $2 cable (including shipping) really performs well, I am in India so I got it from ebay.in. Amazingly it had a warranty also. I have used it 2-3 times now and. works quiet well with my HTC travel charger. I plan to get more of these if they come up on daily deals again.

$20?!
Goodness gracious....the US Congress wouldn't even overspend like that. (Slight exageration. They would spent $400 on a USB cable)
Look at Monoprice.com. Enjoy the savings.
Don't hessitate to buy a cable there just because it's $1 instead of $20. The quality is not lacking. Monoprice just sells a cable that costs $0.50 to make for $1 for a 50 cent profit instead of selling a 50 cent cable for $20 to make a $19.50 profit.
I won't even get into the lunacy of $100 Monster Cables.
+1 for monoprice.com
Good lord $20 bucks for a cable? Where can I purchase that haha.
Seriously, always compare prices before buying online.

I recommend monoprice to anyone looking to buy cables. Never had a single issue with any of the microUSB or HDMI cables, wall charger, or cig lighter adapter I've bought from them. Between 2 10ft MicroUSB cables, 4 HDMI cables, wall charger, and the cig lighter I've spent about as much as I would have for a single HDMI cable at WalMart, let alone Best Buy...
I'm in real need of a car charger for my S5. Does anyone know where I should buy one? Or what brand to look for? Thanks!
I almost always check on Amazon first. And boom, solution. Go for the one with the fewest negative reviews. I choose plemo for its reasonable price and so far has no complaints.

I am using maxboost car charger which I bought from amazon. This is by far one of the best chargers I ve had. Very compact and powerful.
A handful negative reviews said 2.4A port does not work with S5, but mine seems to be an updated version with so called smart port, both charges S5 fine. Currently, black color is out, and white one still available.
It can be found from here: http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Port-Maxboost-4-4A-Charger/dp/B00ISGCAJM/
I also recommend the brand plemo. I bought it on Amazon and have been using it for about four months now. Really chuffed about it. Charges my S5 really fast (definitely faster than the stock charger). Also charges my other devices including the Canon camera and the GPS.
ive got a belkin usb port and it works fine on uk gs5
