replacement charger/cable

[here4kids]

without ordering directly from Samsung, where do I get some that will work as designed? seems any replacement I've gotten charges at a trickle..... not the intended 1% per minute. sometimes it seems it's the cord, other times the wall plug. shouldn't be this hard!

Samsung chargers have the data pins shorted to indicate that the charge is coming from the wall, not a USB port. You can buy a replacement charger for a Samsung that's not made by Samsung, but that has the short, or if you can do tiny soldering, or work on a cable, you can do the modification yourself.

Android Central sells the Samsung charger for $15. Samsung Micro-USB 2A Travel Charger - Android Chargers & Cables
