Bionic wall charger question

[CobbFC09]

Do they have any longer ones? The one that comes with the phone is like 3-4ft, which is very inconvenient.

Its just a standard Micro SD cable. You can buy them dirt cheap on ebay.

What exactly should I search? Micro SD cable didn't yield any results.

cables: USB Cables

they also have these: For only $1.85 each when QTY 50+ purchased - High-Speed WALL Power to USB Female Converter (1000mA) - White | Power to USB Converters
I wonder if they charge as fast as the stock charger...

So any of the USB 2.0 Cables - Micro-B Type will work?

glad i could help!
Now you know where to get good cables cheap, also i got a a few TV mounts for me and my family and friends installed all our HD tvs and i paid the same price for 6 tv mounts what i would of paid for 1 or 2 of equal quality at the worstbuy

plus maybe next time if you use your bionic for gps or bedside mode or would like to and think paying 80 for both docks is ridiculous
pick this up from them
For only $3.01 each when QTY 50+ purchased - Universal GPS Car Mount Holder | For Garmin

and the Bionic app from the store for free and you got all 3 modes and can use that dock

i cant speak of the quality as i will be getting mine 2morrow delivered at around 11am so i can post pix if you like and a review after i use it for a few hours

Yeah, the site is pretty cool. If only I knew what all that stuff is.

Is it possible to buy the piece you plug into the wall on monoprice? I assume it would be cheaper to buy the piece and a cord than buy another wall charger from Verizon.

Thanks again bud!

Did the black ones really become discountinued? It says they are on hold, but then below that it says: "This item has been discontinued".

looks that way... I ordered a couple of the white ones and some 6 foot usb cables, they seem to work just fine.

I wish I had remembered to order the microHDMI to regular HDMI cable from there when I was ordering the usb stuff.

 

[CobbFC09]

This is really weird. Now it says that the white ones are on back order and below that it says, "This item has been discontinued".

So now both the white and black are being discontinued?

 

[JStrider]

maybe they were having quality control issues with them? I bought several of the wall outlet to USB converters, and it appears to have died already, after about 7-10 hours of use... I havent used any of the other ones I got... I'll see how long they last...

 

[CobbFC09]

Hopefully they get some more or something. I am in need of a couple.

 

[JStrider]

get the black, the white ones glow almost like a nightlight. If you have an option.

Says they are still hold.

Dont waste your money! the second one I ordered died on friday, after just a 7 or 8 hours of use over a two day period. I actually heard it make a popping noise when it went out.

It might just be a fuse, I'm gonna take them apart when i have a chance and see if there is anything worth seeing.

I've got the third one still, haven't used it at all yet, dont think I will, I dont want to risk a failure and having it fry my phone!

If they both hadn't been discontinued I most likely would've bought a couple. Worked out well that they did get discontinued.
