No headphones. It comes with a wall charger and usb cable.

Charger situation

Is it just me or is there a thing with the sidekick where it only takes the samsung charger. Because I have mulitple micro USB adapters and when I need to charge my phone, none of them work even though they fit perfectly.

Are you sure your cables aren't defective? Either that or it must be a problem with your phones since I am able to charge my phone with any microusb cable and I can also mount the phone as an external storage. I am running ayoteddy's gingerclone rom.

i would suggest taking the phone to a phone store because one of the usb things you may have thought fit but you really made the port bigger by squeezing it in ther i have done this before

galaxy nexus adapter wotn work on nexus s

My nexus s adapter broke, now they send me a new one, but it is for the galaxy nexus. I thought no big deal, because the specs look the same. I tested it, and unless my eyes were deceiving me it worked. Second time I want to use it, it suddenly doesn't work. Does anyone know if the adapter from the galaxy nexus should work on the nexus s? And what could be wrong? The cord looks fine and hasn't received any damage..

What exactly is an adaptor? Are you referring to the micro USB cable, or the wall outlet to USB charger. Either should work, the U in USB does stand for universal.
try a different phone on your galaxy nexus "adaptor". The issue may be your NS

I'm referring to the travel adapter.

At the moment I have no other device to test it on.. and my old nexus s adapter still works when I bend the cord (the cord is broken).

Check out monoprice.com. I have ordered multiple cables from them. Good quality at a reasonable price. I have a 6ft micro usb to usb that I use now. Works just as good as the stock one.

Ditto on the suggestion for Monoprice. It's the only place I buy this sort of thing.
But that aside, if you can't find what you're looking for and want a REALLY long cable, you can easily find regular USB extension cables. Like 6 to 15 foot extension cables. Then you can plug your short micro USB cable that fits your phone into the extension.

Thx because the one that comes with the sensation is just to short I wish they made a micro USB to stand USB adaptor that would be great so I could have my phone charge via AC and it actually reach my desk.

maybe try something like

Basically any USB to USB-Micro B-type cable will work.

I have an adapter cord, for USB usage,I normally use it on my computer.

Yup, monoprice is where its at. I got my 16 ft long cable for a couple bucks. It was definitely worth it.

what do u do with a 16 footer? i just want to sit in the back of the car while my wife drives

i'll second Amazon basics. i have a couple of their usb cords and they are great.

Cheap cables are just fine.
Also, it's impossible for the phone to charge while using OTG. For OTG to work some of the pins are used for handling data and therefore cannot be used to charge.

I ordered one from china, took about 3 to 4 weeks, then I ordered from ebay..
they work fine... they only work with jellybean....

Actually, the thing that prevents charging isn't the pins, it is a software toggle that turns the phone's port into a power supply for the external device, the charging circuit is switched off in the pm chip. There are charging/power usb otg host cables available for phones that support it, e.g., Nexus 7, with patched CM10.1, and the phone can get charged while usb hosting.
the 4 pins are still 2 data, two power, in otg mode.
I don't know if a software fix would work for captivate. I've got the datasheet for the cappy power management chip somewhere. if I can find it, I'll report if the chip can support it and if so, then maybe the N7 fix could get ported to cappy.

AW: USB OTG Cable
I use a 0,70€ cable... I don't recommend it, the connection between phone and usbstick interrupts too often.

Yea. It's a bit of a gamble when buying cheap cables. I also bought a really cheap usb otg cable from dealextreme and the connector on the phone's end is too loose. The OTG cable that came with Nokia N8 is ok.

I use this OTG cable: www.amazon.com/Electronics-Micro-USB-OTG-Cable/dp/B005GGBYJ4/. Small US company, offers a lifetime warranty, only takes a couple days to get from Amazon (free two day shipping if you have a Prime membership). I've had a few from them and never had an issue (other than I tend to lose them). Perfect fit and just the right length. Good stuff.

I bought one from Conrad electronics here in Germany, it costs like 6 euros and works perfectly.

I bought a cheap £2.99 cable from Amazon UK which works just fine.
The packet it came in states the brand as 'Afunta' (Made in China).
