Longer data/charging cable? - Galaxy Tab 8.9 Accessories

Anybody here buy a longer data cable from anywhere? Is there one that even exists?
The original one is quite short, longer one would be nice.

I bought one from Amazon. $7 and works fine.

Or, you can grab a USB extension cable for 3 bucks. Works perfectly.

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.

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.

HDMI Cable?

What HDMI cable are you using and where did you get it for your Charge?
I bought a cable from amazon. Works perfectly.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'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 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.

Dock for 2014 model?

I've looked on Amazon for a dock for my new Moto X 2014 model. I can't seem to find any. The ones they say work, when you read the reviews people say that it doesn't work. So its a bit confusing their. Also anyone know if Moshi plans to release a screen protector for the 2014 model? I know they had one for the old one...

Gonna got with THIS instead actually
Says iPhone 6 but the iPhone 6 and Moto X are only a millimeter or 2 different in physical size, plus the bottom hole for the cord works perfectly too. The little cutout in the front will be unnecessary. Guess it'll be easer to hit the Home button I guess.

I ordered the stand (for work) when I ordered my new X, since it is on clearance. I also made my own dock from an old Droid dock (for home):
https://forums.motorola.com/posts/824127b4e7?commentId=815500#815500
In both cases, docking mode will not be engaged - have to set daydream to charging state. Originally there was a docking-enabeling cable to use with the stand, but I don't think it would engage dock mode, since the Droid dock will not engage dock mode on the X.
