Mini USB 3 Cable? - Galaxy S 5 Accessories

I am looking for a really short. Maybe just a couple inches long. USB 3 Cable. Does anyone have one they would recommend or know of somewhere that sells them?

here's a 1.5ft, that's pretty small
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HM3R3E/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I ordered a few different lengths 1.5, 3ft, 6ft, because the regular usb cables (of which i have a million now) don't seem to charge for **** on the s5. I also got a braided style, flat ribbon style, and of course in neon colors so i can find the correct cable in a pile of others.

Links please for best braided/material wrapped or high quality cable you have found.. Going to order a few since it's impossible to get a wireless back plate right now and hate seeing better cables right after I order lol.. Thanks guys!

I found this one. Only concern is the quality. How can I be sure it's good? It's less than 2 dollars after all. I'd hate myself forever if I ruined my brand new phone because of one stupid cable. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004TZVKIS/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_0dEstb0WR6YWE

Btw the braided cable i got doesn't charge more than 1.1 amps. The thicker cables typically will allow full amp draw.
Often times the cheapest cables will end up working perfectly, so don't have any fear there. The phone has a charge controller and will recognize any problems with the cable and prevent flow to the battery.

htc one x dock

When are we going to see one for the att version? you would think there would be one released on the same day as the phone with the charging tabs built right into the phone.

Be careful, the AT&T version is the XL and the pogo pins are not in the same place. The international HOX accessories that use the pins won't line up correctly.

Cool thanks for the tip. They should be more clear about for what phone it is for.

If you're dead set on getting the dock, contact them and make sure it's compatible with the AT&T version and let us all know!
go to att.com its on their accessory page along with the media link and battery bank.

I bought the Hyperion USB dock and have used it for a few days. It's works fine as expected, but even the slimmest of cases must come off for the device to fit.
Also, to my disappointment, it cannot put the phone into dock mode. It seems as though only the docks using the pogo pins will be able to do that.

thats not true. it has to do with the usb connection not the dock itself.

Is there a dock that does this?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
It's almost certainly either a magnet sensor or NFC sensor that triggers the dock mode - the car kit doesn't even use the pogo pins, but will trigger the car mode app. I seriously doubt it has anything to do with the cable, either - the one that comes with the car kit doesn't appear to be anything more than a normal cable with an end molded to fit in the dock.
EDIT: Just ran the magnet I have across my phone with no success, so the Mototrola method is not likely how it works. Some Samsungs use NFC, so it could still be doing that.

The car mode is built into the USB cable using a special resistance on the usb cable with a small standard resistor.
- Dan
10k ohm works good for me
Do like in "penguin.cz/~utx/hardware/HTC_car_dock/" this instruction, but for our phone resistor must be ~ 10k ohm.

many docks do not have it built into it. I found this out when i purchased a dock for my galaxy note that "enabled dock mode" when used, however for me it didn't work. I found out that the issue was that i was not using the cable that came with it, instead i was using my own cable (it was pre routed which is why). After some testing i found that the cable did indeed make the difference. As far as i know i have not found any docks for the one x that have that built into the dock itself, the 2 that i did find, both relied on the cable still.

It's crap like this that's a double punch to the nuts. Why couldn't they just have made it the same pin design?
HTC needs to get their act together...
I love having docks.
It makes my life so much easier having one at the office next to my bed, I dont get the point of making phones with the pins if they are going to take a year to release a dock that uses them (slight exaggeration). Its a joke that the international one has it and not Rogers/AT&T... ugh
Yeah... any information on if / when this stupid dock is going to be out for the US would be nice.
I know it sounds dumb, but this is one of the reasons I bought the phone.

Micro usb port on the HOX

Is anyone elses micro USB port a little wiggly?... By the way im talking about the port on the actual phone itself. I mean it charges fine and everything but it wiggles just the slightest bit. Is this normal?
Mine is rock solid. A little tight actually.

Ahh. I think ill just have to live with it because this was my second replacement for dead pixels and its near perfect. You can't wiggle it the slightest?
Mine is actually quite tight as well. My two Atrix devices had loose ports but my Galaxy Nexus one was solid. This HOX is actually VERY tight though, which I'm happy about.
They can loosen over time and I'd much rather have one that's more firm than not.
Mine is rock solid with the new charger but if I plug in my old charger cord it is a bit loose and wiggly...

Because phones are smaller? Mini USB had the same problem. If you suck at putting a cord in it will naturally loosen over time.

[review] Philips as351 bluetooth speaker dock $50 @ Walmart

Just got the Philips Fidelio speaker dock for my phone. Its built pretty solid. The usb port is adjustable so if you have different phones that have the micro usb port turned the other way it will fit. There are also little nubs on each side to keep the phone from rocking, and a back support so all the stress doesnt go on the usb port. It was simple to find and connect with bluetooth. There is also an aux input and a usb port for another cable if you need it. The front and rear charger both run at 2A but if you have both plugged into devices it will charge at 1A each. The sound is ok, the bass seems like its trying to hard... haha.... but not bad at all. It is portable also taking 4aa batteries, I havent tried that yet though and dont know if it will charge the phone on batteries.
Some Cons: You have to push the phone down pretty hard to get it to charge. The only buttons on the speaker are power and an independent volume button. If youre closer to the dock than your phone or the screen is off on the phone that could be slightly irritating. The biggest problem that I had was there is a little circle piece of plastic at the base of the speaker and that prevented my phone from charging with the bumper on. But after a little time cutting it it fits perfect with the bumper still on. looks ugly but works.
Best thing its only $50 for a refurbished model at walmart.com free shipping and $6 for the extended warranty. All in all not a bad deal and Im glad I purchased it.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Philips-R...ker-System-for-Android-Devices-Black/21117024
i got the same speakers, the big problem for me is the app for android, it sucks a lot
I love this dock I have it also I've had it for a week now I have no complaints. The sound quality is amazing and the Bluetooth will still work on the other side of my apartment. Its a great buy:thumbup::thumbup: so happy I purchased this over a wireless charging dock. BTW mine charges perfect with a bumper or case on or naked. Once I adjusted the lil movable pegs that go up and down. It works perfect on my N7 also.

Did you already receive yours and test it? It looks very similar to another one that's white that doesn't work on our phones. But it does show a Nexus 4 on it charging so I am not sure. Just want to make sure some one has tested it since there are a few that have known issues. Thanks for pointing this out.

Yeap, I got mine today and it really works very very good. For some reason it seams that it charges the phone really fast...i will make a test of how much it takes to full charge a a phone to %100 because it really feel faster than a regular wall charger

yes thanks, you can get the app to log this info with the screen off so you can see how much current the charger is pushing. Go into settings and check the Log Option and the app will save it to file. Turn off the screen and let the phone charge for 15mins and check the log file.
Anybody knows what its normal battery current for any Qi Wireless?? I looked at the Nokia and it says Charger input current: 300 mA
Charger output current: 750 mA ... what is the input current and the output current if somebody knows???
there's no standard output for Qi chargers, the better ones will output around 8-1000mah. Around 700mah is enough to charge the phone slowly with the screen on. The stock usb charger you get with the N4 is rated for 1200mah but averages around 900mah.

This is great that there are Chinese knock offs for this industry. Hopefully, that means there is enough market in this area for the phone manufacturers to further integrate in their future releases, significantly driving down costs. While this is a nice to have, I cant's justify the value of a wireless charger for my lifestyle where I use three chargers. While I may not the "typical" user, it doesn't make sense to spend upwards of $136 on chargers, especially since this is a highly developing technology that's likely to change by the time I would need another phone in 12-24 months. I'd be interesting to see how many people one vs multiple chargers with their smartphones. I'll be interesting to see what happens to the future of wireless charging. Some things that currently exist already look like significant improvements: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/01/10/wireless_charging/
but I digress...
How is the quality? Would you say it feels more solid or plastic?

I have not but I am a bit apprehensive about having my phone support itself by the charging port. Seems like a recipe for broken solder joints.

That's a concern of mine as well. It looks like there is a lip or back of sorts, but I cannot tell how extensive or supportive it is. If I order it and it proves unstable, then I could just use it with the phone laying down on a table. I'm more worried about its ability to safely carry and deliver electric current
Nope, not touching it if the phone is supported by the port.
