Retractable data/charge cable for Omnia

[Guest Ingvarr]

Can anybody recommend one, if bought one recently.

I am thinking about this one - http://www.thepocketsolution.com/PSI-46099...sfer+Cable.html , maybe any other choices?

I bought one from Amazon recently. It works perfectly, and also charges straight from the mains using the 3-pin mains adapter thats included. The kit also includes a car charger, although I haven't had a chance to test it yet. The whole set cost £4.99. The URL is http://www.amazon.co.uk/EASYi-RETRACTABLE-...4533&sr=8-1

Isn't this one is a charge only? I need one that will allow data transfer too.

[Guest DaZelator]

BoxWave's MiniSync cable can do charging (on USB charger) OR syncing/charging (on computer). The one for the Samsung i780 should fit: http://www.boxwave.com/products/minisync/m...g-i780_3078.htm (picture attached below).

nice photoshopping! ;) but you need the female connector for the 3.5mm plug!

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Why does the first one have 2 connectors exactly?

[Guest Ingvarr]

Its because i780 will not charge the device from "ordinary" USB unless it senses ActiveSync connection, therefore you needed different connector "for charge only". I am not sure if its same with Omnia latest firmwares.

[Guest omnia newbie]

The first one comes up the idea similar to Geronymous........rather... a 'break through box' with TV output, audio output, USB charger/sync with adapter, to either cigarrette lighter/wall charger.......... hi hi.. may be too much to ask.. ?

VERSION 2

I think I will go with this one - http://www.gomadic.com/samsung-omnia-retra...-usb-cable.html

Its the most compact, and most importanly, uses replaceable tip. So no need to buy a diff cable for diff device, only snap in the new tip inplace.

In fact, there is no need for additional cables. The original sync cable will charge the Omnia when you change your usb settings on the device. Change it to storage device instead of ActiveSync and it will charge.

Then you're not doing something right. Works fine for me. Always has.

By "charging" do you mean that the charging light eventually turns green signaling a full charge ? On which ROM version are you on ?
