Thanks for the tip, bro.

The shop was offering me just the ori cable for RM129..

I need a wall charger and sync cable with that funny ipad-like 30 pin connector to keep at the office in case I wanna transfer big stuff to the Tab or to charge it. Small files easy la because of FTPServer on the Tab which allows me to FTP files to/from over WIFI and/or 3G.

BTW, on stock ROM I noticed that I wasn't able to charge via USB from a computer, but the Overcome ROM enables this feature. Hurray for custom ROMs smile.gif

Going back to Gurney Plaza tonite to scope out other shops ha ha..

if you don't mind get from ebay, you can refer to
http://stores.ebay.com.my/iBestMart/_i.html?_fsub=2532570015

I got mine from there. Using it until today, no issue at all. Thinking to get another set as spare.

You're looking for a latch-on piggyback pack or a cabled pack-charger thing? Perhaps the one below?

You will need the following items:

1. Powerbank. Recommeded to have one that can provide 2 USB port with 5V 1A each or 1 USB port with 5V 2A. Capacity recommended to have at least 4000mAh. The one (as in the picture) I'm using is 5000mAh. I bought at Singapore during a fair for S$79.

2. A USB Y-Cable (for HDD used) to combine power from 2 USB ports.

3. A Female Mini-USB to Female USB adaptor.

4. Galaxy TAB charging adaptor (DIY). Circuit diagram can be found on web.

5. Galaxy TAB charging cable.

6. When all items are connected and plug to Galaxy Tab. You can see it shows 'Battery Status - Charging (AC)' witness by Benny88 and other members.

With above setup, I can charge and use my Tab at the same time. The same setup can be used to charge HTC Flyer with Micro USB cable instead of Galaxy Tab cable.


Note:
a. If you can get a PowerBank to supply 5V 2A, then you don't need item 2 and 3. You can charge and use your Tab at the same time.

b. If your PowerBank with 1 USB port and supply 5V (500mA or 1A), then you don't need item 2 and 3. You can charge your TAB with 'Battery Status - Charging (AC)' but you cannot use it while charging. If you do then you will risk your PowerBank auto shutdown due to overload.
