Anyone know where I can get the charger for the TF that's cheaper than $30? The cheapest place I could find seems to be officedepot.com.

That's just a USB cable. No charger there.

I haven't seen anything any cheaper. So if you really need it then I would cough up the $30 & be done. I have seen them as much as $50.
Oh, you need the wall wart. You'll have to cough it up, as far as I can tell. I tried using the one from my Droid and it wouldn't charge, so just any wall adapter won't do.
You might find one on ebay as a last budget resort.
I could be wrong, but I read somewhere (probably here) that the charger just has to be able to give 12V for the transformer to charge correctly. So a switchable power-supply that supports 12V output and has a usb female plug should work fine. I have the Goobay NTS 1500 MW in my amazon wishlist (in Germany) and only wait for an occasion to order. But check on it before buying or wait until someone comes and confirms this. I'm sorry that I can't give you a link...
Excluding the DIY charging stuff we have posted around here, or cooking up sth able to do the job, I don't think you're going to be able to find anything. Maybe eBay or shopping.google.com at best, might have sth cheaper.
Last time I was in Fry's and saw the price, I was happy mine has had the easy life.

I was at Costco the other day and saw a bundle for a surge protector that included one that goes flat against the wall, but it also had 2 USB charging ports. Not sure what the voltage would be...hmmm...maybe I should go check it out, that is if you don't do it and report back before me......it was only like $15.
The TF101 uses the extra pins associated with USB 3.0, so any cable you use should be 3.0 not 2.0.
Yes, that's true. But I believe this is only important if one wants to use an extension cable to extend the length of the original cable. If you use the original cable and plug it directly into a USB-port it shouldn't matter whether it is USB 2 or 3 as long as it supplys 12V DC

Wouldnt the charger port be missing some of the pins (potentially)
Well, I originally read about using foreign chargers with the TF on transformer forums and just looked for the source again. Since I am not yet allowed to post links, I'll just give you the quote:
Something like this will work: Dynex™ - Universal AC/DC Charger for Cameras and Camcorders - DX-UA Not sure if you are near a Best Buy. It has to output 11 V minimum and have a USB connector. Folks over at xda-developers have confirmed this is a substitute and will work.

Has anyone found a spot to buy them? The ones on the Samsung site look different. And I want to make sure the end fits inside my case because the hole is designed for the cable that comes with the phone. I don't want to get into cutting the case or cable ends.

Don't waste your money buying them from samsung. All usb cables are the same, just find a cheap one on amazon or monoprice. You could just look at pictures and find one that looks small enough to fit your case.
Edit- well I guess this is wrong. I've bought a few couple cheap usb cables and never had a problem but other people have.
Just to let you know...the tmobile mytouch usb fits into the neo case too. They might be cheaper too

I used to think the same thing, but this is absolutely not true. You can download the app Galaxy Charging Current and compare your charging rates with different cables. If you don't believe the app, you can start from a specific charge level and time the charge with the screen off and no apps running. There can be a significant difference. There are several posts throughout the GS4 forums if you search for the app name.
This isn't only true for the GS4 either. I tried using a USB 2.0 extension cable I bought in 03 or 04 to extend my Palm Pre touchstone, but the phone wouldn't consistently charge with the extension in place.
How's the charging speed on those? I know some cheaper cables don't charge as quickly.

NOT all cables are the same!
The included one with the phone allows charging up to 1900mA. The one from the S3 (for example) will only charge up to 960. I have some that won't go over 460.

Its true about the varying speeds of usb cables. Here are some pics of the app with different usb plugs:

So is it the cable that is affecting the charging current, or is it just the charger itself?
Thanks

Both.
What is strange to me the phone with that app reports it's getting 1900mA when I use an old HTC charger capable of 1A (1000mA) @ 5V when using the OEM USB cable. Either that HTC charger's specs were grossly understated or the phone itself tries to sense electrical properties of the USB cable? Not sure if that last bit is even possible.
Anyone with knowledge on how the phone determines how much current to draw on a lower level? Kinda curious.
Also, there are sellers on eBay for the original S4 charging cable for something like $7, or same charging cable and 2A wall adapter for $10.
See for example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/230980370756
The part number they list (ETA-U90JWE) is the same as my OEM charger, that can do 2A @ 5 V.

:BUMP:
Also looking for a 1900mA charger/usb chord combo. Found 2 "OEM" fakes on Amazon (reviews reported fake), and can't just buy, and hope for the best on eBay. Looking to see if someone has bought, tried, and tested a charger/chord combo that does 1900mA from a reliable source. I'm not paying $40+ for a charger/usb chord from samsung. There's got to be an alternative.
Newegg.com sells them.
I've ordered this charger + cable (aware of the risk of fake, will be comparing to my included/OEM), this micro USB cable, and this micro USB cable.
Also waiting on this car charger.
Using Battery Monitor Widget app to get mA readings during charge.
Will report back with results as I receive and test.
I bought this, since my S4 came with the european one, this is 100% original (Same that comes with the S4 and Note 2):

Wasting money here ... finally received above cable via DX.com and nope, only transmits 700 mA max to the S4. fakkkk
So I purchased both the white Samsung Wireless charger and the black Verizon charger. My thoughts:
I'm upset that they both only charge at 640. This is HALF what a normal USB charges at. Also, the Samsung uses a standard Micro USB as power supply, while the Veirzion has a special adapter (annoying). Also, the Samsung is more sensitive where the device is placed on the pad, has to be directly in one spot or it won't charge. The Verizion has a much larger charging area.
So my question is -
1) Are all wireless charging bases only charging at 640?
2) is there a better charger that used micro USB?
Thanks,
Normal USB 2.0 charges at around 500Mah. Some special ports offer more power.
The stock Samsung wall charger, can output UP TO 2amps
My wireless charging receiver, a generic eBay one claims up to 1amp, and i usually get between 400 and 800 depending on what im doing.
The base itself, I think sends only up to 1amp, so the real limitation is in the receiver in the phone.
Second part of your question, are you asking about the charging plate?
In terms of what charger plate to get, Is the standard micro USB plug so important to you ?
there are some pretty handy ones, such as the Panasonic QE-TM101 that offer a feature where you can place the phone anywhere on the pad and the charge will start.
I cant comment on the Verizon one because im not from america

I have been looking for the same answer you are, I bought a off brand wireless charger off eBay and that charges at 640 as well. So I'm guessing it's the norm right now unless I'm wrong.
But I really wanted a wireless charger for bedside so even if it's slow I'm okay with it so far.

That's expected. 640 is max rate wirelessly. I don't have the Verizon pad, but have several of the Samsung ones (thanks to the 50% off coupons) and none are sensitive to where you place the phone.

Have been looking for a while to find an (affordable) micro USB cable which is a lot longer than the stock cable. When charging the phone right now I must contort myself in strange positions because of the rather short length of the supplied cable.
So I'm looking for a longer (>1.5m) cable but that one must also still charge with the same rate as the stock cable: 1900mA...
After reading some reviews on Amazon for example it seems that those cables are rather hard to find. They all lower the amount of charging current.
So the question is: does anybody know of such a cable (and has tried it himself with Galaxy Charging Current for example so it charges with 1900mA for sure :angel: ).
Thanks in advance :good:

Mah is not a charging rate. Its known as a discharge rate or capacity of the battery/cells. You might have better luck searching for it as 1900 ma (milliamps) or 1.9A (amps). I use lithium batteries in all my rc trucks and the radios and had to do a bit of studying about them, improper charging or discharging can lead to degradation of the cells or catastrophic failure (explosion).

What I need someone to explain to me is how do you know the cable isn't charging at max intensity. Does it not charge at all, or you measure the current, or what?

Shorter cables are handy for their own purposes as well, like in a car or something. However, when I'm watching tv and the phone is being charged the supplied cable, for me, is much too short. Very awkward to play with the phone when the cable is short, hence I wanted a longer cable.
Longer cables alas usually lower the charging current so while it surely does charge the phone it takes much, much longer to do so

Yea that isn't worth it, unless you order 10 and maybe sell them on ebay locally yourself to recoup the shipping cost.
I bought 3 and the company is less than 50 miles form where I live, so the shipping was only $2.50.

Hi, did you get the cables? Looking at the photos on Monoprice they look fantastic.
I am honestly tired of the crappy cables, even the S4 came in with a cable that I can't fold.
Need something like the Apple USB cable...
What Qi-charging options are there for the xperia Z5?
Any chance that Sony will release something similar to WCR14, or are we stuck with fitting generic receivers between the phone and a case?
As I know, z5 doesnt support wirelless charging out of the box

Yeah, exactly, no support for wireless charging. However, Sony has released cases with built-in wireless charging for earlier models of the Z-line
and I was wondering if anyone knew if they are going to release a similar solution for the Z5 Compact.
At the moment it seems as though the only viable option is to install a qi-receiver bought on ebay or a similar site and pair it with a case.
Not so bad i guess, since it probably is a hell of a lot cheaper and you get to choose whichever case you want.
Awaiting my Z5C now and will update when I have installed a qi solution.
That is impossible becouse that cases before have connection over magnetic charger and z5c dont have it.
Okay, bummer..
I thought they might solve the problem of the missing magnetic port by using the micro-usb connection..
Just wanted to confirm, I purchased a Qi Wireless Receiver that connects over USB - no dice. They don't have the "teeth" that microusb ports have and due to the water proofing the port doesn't turn on.

This.
I will be ordering up a high amp one soon to hopefully help me get my phone through the day. I'll report in if it does or doesn't work.
I am using this one

in combination with this case

looks perfect and my phone gets from empty to 100% in about 6 hours.

Looks nice! what kind of amperage are you able charge with tst receiver?
I'm going to be ordering this one:

Review show that it's pretty close to 1amp in most cases.
And using this so every time its in my pocket I'll have this in there charging it..
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B018T...X236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=qi+power+bank
Ampere shows 200-600 mAh (depending of the position)
Its working really good and its cheap, don't get why not all the companies install it in their phones ...

Just wanted to confirm, I purchased a Qi Wireless Receiver that connects over USB - no dice. They don't have the "teeth" that microusb ports have and due to the water proofing the port doesn't turn on.

Just wanted to post to say that this is wrong. What it needs to work is a connector has the data pins to be connected so that it shows that it's capable of outputting higher than 500mA. I'm using the Zoer receiver that has that and it works fine. Amperage is between 260mA to 770mA depending on the qi charger that I use.
no, not really. This qi definitely works.

You just need one with 4 pins instead of the cheaper 2 pin ones. I have one which definitely works. Unfortunately, xdadevelopers doesn't let new users post links for some reason, so I can't help anybody with the link to the one I use. I spent a lot of time working out what to use and finally went into a 'retail store' to test the one I ordered before ordering my own z5 compact. If anybody wants the link to the ebay item, just email at [email protected]. Make sure you choose the 'A type' for the z5 compact. Works a treat. There is a lot of confusion about qi on the z5. Some people are saying that it is because of its waterproof attributes, you can't do it. Not so. This works perfectly and once on, can be used with any QI standard charging mat.
Guy, anyone tried with the quickcharge wireless pad yet? By the way, do we need to have quick charge supported receiver coils in order to use the quick charge charging pad?

I've never seen a quick charger receiver? I gave up on this in favor of quick charging at lunch
For those that have gone down this route a couple of questions please:
1) How has the QI receiver lasted if the phone is submerged? Did it just need rinsing in clean water and drying out or was it screwed?
2) Is there a maximum thickness to the case which I should worry about?
3) What sort of time does it take to charge up?
4) If I'm playing music or video will it charge quicker than I'm draining the battery?
Thanks!
I just got this one:
ASIN=B01E15W2ZA
and it works good with my Xperiy Z5 Compact. It charges with about 600...700 mA, something les than with a normal charger, but absolutely enough for my purpose - modt of the time I just want to recharge over nitght. It goes up to 100 %.
The included power bank feature can also be used via Qi, but probably smarter it to use it with a cable to not waste Your capacity as heat.
By the way: Even NFC works through the receiver!
But still I folded the receiver cable twice to position the receiver on the lower edge of the beackside of the phone. This way I avoid the risk, that NFC sensitivity gets reduced and I can line up the phone better on the charger, because it must lay quite exact on the cross.
i have qi charger for 5c and it works. i order plate fro qi and qi charger from ebay. just this qi sticker must set under some case. another way it is possible to broke it.
