Any micro usb cable will charge your phone. You can get cheap ones on eBay or on monoprice.com.

Here's what I bought:
<From Amazon>
*Wall Charger -> USB- $2.45
*USB -> MicroUSB- $1.48
Total- $3.93 (free shipping via Amazon Prime)
But from monoprice.com-
*Wall Charger -> USB- $2.16
*USB -> MicroUSB- $1.02
Total-$3.18+S&H.
For my location, the cheapest S&H was $1.88, making Monoprice $5.06, or $1.13 more expensive then me buying it off of Amazon.com, so bought it off of Amazon.com.

Most people don't get free shipping from Amazon though, so it's not really a fair comparison.
I do that that if you're buying from Monoprice you'll probably want to throw in some other random stuff to make the shipping cost worth it. Even with the cost of shipping included though, Monoprice is still a pretty good deal.

Sorry to bump this, but I found what looks like the OEM HTC charger and cable for pretty cheap on eBay. Seems like a great deal if it is indeed OEM.

I suggest Ebay, make sure the seller is realiable (most of them are anyways), unless its some random inspire user selling a charger.

Go to the nearest hotel. A corporate hotel like a Holiday inn express and tell the clerk that u left ur charger about a month ago . If he asks what room just say it was under the name of a coworker that u just meet that day . Change the subject fast and say its a charger that has a microusb like the blackberry or Motorola and that ur in a bit of a hurry to catch a flight. He will probably pull out a box full of cellphone chargers if ur in luck . If not try the next hotel lol.

[B&M] $1 Micro USB [email protected]

Got three of these micros usb cables at the "Dollar Tree" for a buck a piece.
They are actually thicker and seem to be better quality than the uber lame cable samsung provides, but perhaps not as sturdy as those blackberry cables everyone loves. They make a good enough connection for ODIN to work, also lets me access the SD Card in windows just fine.
If you happen to have a dollar tree where you live, you no longer have an excuse to not pick up a few extra cables for charging, laptop bag, backpack, etc.
Plus when your samsung cable stops being picked up by ODIN you won't need to come crying to XDA anymore.
They also had mini usb, full size usb printer/scanner cables (A to B I think?) and etc. all for $1. Even picked up a USB car charger for my wife's car. I doubt it will last more than a few months, but compared to wal-mart price I can buy 14 of these chargers vs 1 wal-mart charger.

Pretty awesome, I looked for some last time I was at one (weeks before this post and before I even had this phone) and didn't see any other than ipod crap. I'll keep my eyes out.
Usually Meritline or Monoprice is my buddy for cheap quality cables and ebay (china) for little chargers and stuff.

Great find! Got mine today and a 2 USB port cigarette lighter adapter - car charger for $2.16 for the win.

I went to my dollar tree and they didn't have any micro usb cables. Bummed but they did have a firewire cable that I don't need for anything.

Awesome Find!!!!
Will look into this!

I purchased a BB cable off amazon for about $1.19 including shipping. Took like 4 days to get here but man, these BB cables sure are something. I'll try n place a link up once I get back on my computer @ home

Cool can't wait for link!

Those cables look like they're one hell of a deal for a buck! They do look a little cheaper made than a blackberry cable, I still have mine from my tour , but for the price? Worth all 100 pennies.

They do not last. I've been buying these for a while. Usually only last a month, 10-15 uses.

Meritline has 5ft cables for $1.50 each when you buy two. Idk how long they'll stay this price
http://www.meritline.com/usb-a-to-micro-usb-male-male-cable---p-40558.aspx

Good stuff, glad to see some other cheap options in here. For what they are, these cables should be a buck or two after all. Stores charging $9.99 or more are just out of their minds.
Anyway, I hope mine last longer than a month, if I have any crap out I'll be sure to update the OP.
I went back to grab a cable for my dad last week and they were all sold out, so I think I'll grab a couple of those blackberry cables posted in another thread.

Excuse my tardiness guys, 12 hour shifts at work tend to throw me off a bit much. Here's a link to the BlackBerry micro USB cables i was talking about. The $1.19 ones are gone, but the this one is only $0.14 more @ $1.33 (with shipping) which is still a deal.

Cool, I'll have to remember that. Especially now that I have Amazon Prime for a year (aka 2 day shipping for anything)
Meritline has 3.3ft cables for $1.79 for 1 and $1.20 each for two: http://www.meritline.com/3-3-feet-u...-phone-on-pc-and-transfer-data---p-56587.aspx
Of course they aren't the quickest shippers but if you just need extra cables and don't need them right away, they're perfect.

i prefer 6ft cables
i spend extra on startech 90° cables
worth every penny

6ft might be good for a home, bedside, or computer cable but for a mobile/travel cable 6ft would be cumbersome

i use a 6ft in my car as well
my passengers thank me every time

Got micro HDMI ???

I finally found a HDMI cable locally.
That way if it did not work, I could return it.
I got it at WAL-MART. I looked at my local WAL-MART they do not carry this item. I found it at a WAL-MART when I was out of town this weekend, When I was walking around the electronics area.
I saw all the people with mix results so I held off for a quality cable from a company I can trust and been making cables for a long time.
I got the:
BELKIN - HIGH SPEED HDMI CABLE WITH HDMI MICRO CONNECTOR.
6FT. OR 1.8M
$30.00
I just tested it out for 5 minutes last night. It worked great. I set the HDMI setting to automatic. As soon as I plug cable in it worked.
I was saying, Awesome!!!
Hopefully this helps people who need the cable and are scared of what cheap cables can do to expensive electronics.
Running stock Gingerbread Rom.

And where did you get it from? There's a TON of FUD out there about cheapo cables frying phones, hence people's reluctance to buy from monoprice/ebay.

That's what I'm sayin'! They all work the same. I'm not gonna spend 10x the price on something that won't work any better. To me, 1080p, is 1080p.

i can guarantee the $3 ones wont last..probably from ebay..lol but thats where i got mine from, cost me bout 10 bucks about two months ago and still works, i use it all the time especially weekends, make sure to check buyers feedback and also u can notice a crappy cable by looking at it...just be carefull when pickin but it's best to get one from a local store or t-mobile website

I had some money coming my way that I was not counting on so I say what the heck!!!
I saw all the complaints if all those cheap cables. I did not want to be one of those people.
I was just posting a options some people don't mind spending more on a quality product.

I've used my $3 cable almost everyday since receiving it 2 weeks ago and I've had no problems at all.
The cable actually looks like good quality....I got it from Hand Held Items. I'm usually the first to say when something looks cheap, but this $3 cable looks the exact opposite. I'm still shocked that stores can make money selling a HDMI phone cable for $30. What a ripoff....smdh
But I'm not knocking anybody who purchased that $30 cable, by all means if you got the money and want to do it .... perfect!

I'm kind of afraid to get one. Many reports of it shorting out batteries and ruining phones. Or were these stories just 'urban legends?'

I understand...Im not trying to sell anyone anything, I just wanted anyone that may be in the market for a cheap HDMI cable to know where I got mine from. I'll admit, some of the reviews aren't so great, but there are more 5 ratings than 1 ratings. I guess I have one of the 'Good' cables.
Nonetheless, good luck with any decision you guys make.

I got HDMI cable off ebay for me and my dad for $1 each lol, still working strong, but I cant say these $3 ones for our phones will be the same, I will be picking one up for mine soon.

I return mine. I am trying cheaper cables now that I know my phones HDMI port works. The Belkin one was a perfect fit.

Since I can't post links: Visit NewEgg then search the item: RCE-6-MHEF
6+ft mini-hdmi to hdmi male for less than $7.
Food for thought... seems none of you have heard of the future of internet shipping -- NewEgg... quality cable if you ask me, have 3+ of the normal hdmi and they sell adapters if you already have a hdmi cord, because how many times do you hook up your phone to a tv anyways?

Good link. I have to check that out.

3rd party microUSB cable

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...

White 2A wall charger plugs...for a reasonable price?

Been looking to pick up a few extra of these, but I'm not having much like find white ones for an inexpensive price. Searched ebay and Amazon, anyone found a place where they're inexpensive?

Thanks - those are $12 each. Looking for something a bit more reasonable though.

The second one is $8.25 with free shipping.
Pretty good price I think
Edit: actually if you dig deeper there is one for $4.99 with free shipping

you might want to research well before you go out and buy a generic 2A micro usb charger, as far as I know, to toggle 2A charging on the S4, D+ and D- pins should be connected with a certain value of resistance. You can look it up, there was a thread for that.

if everything's built the same as the old black powergen i got, it'll output just as well as the samsung charger - ~1500mA without the need of a charging adapter.

I have made one order from here
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free...all-Charger-For-Samsung-Galaxy/759338600.html
As soon i receive i will make a review

Well I got a spare genuine charger plug I'll sell for $10 shipped. I got a second hand s4 from someone who kept the USB, ended up buying the set so this guy is just a spare.
Pm me if interested

Currently using a note 2 2amp charger from ebay was around $9 shipped. Charges just as fast as the orignal one.
