How is the Galaxy S3 hooked up for charging in this mount? What cable do I need? I see no place where the charger will charge my phone.

I'm not SURE about the GS3 because I have a GS4; however, the GS4 uses a microUSB. This item ***comes with a USB->MicroUSB cable*** that connects to a USB port on the left side of the FM Transmitter that installs in your 12V socket. As long as there is power to the FM Transmitter and the cable is connected to your phone, it will charge your phone. I did find that the charging cable does NOT charge the phone unless the on/off button for the FM transmitter is in the ON position. This isn't a big deal to me.

There is a usb port on the right side, it comes with the cable, however it doesnt have a lot of charging power, my s4 actually drops in battery when its charging and the navigation is on

Uses standard USB and plugs into the side of the power adapter (cig lighter portion)

There is a short wire with a mini-usb connector that goes from the car plug to the phone. You don't need an additional cable.

There is a cable built into the mount unit. Once the mount is plugged into the lighter/power outlet, this cable is plugged into your phone for charging. Works great!

The standard usb cable for charging the phone goes into the base of the 12 volt adapter and the other end connects to the bottom of your phone where you charge it.

As others have mentioned, no way to charge vertically (portrait) with any of the popular Samsung style USB cables.Perhaps with an L shaped connection?

We have a Galaxy S4 and the micro USB is available. The case plugs into the phone and there is another below the case to allow you to charge and use. I hope this helps...

You need the kind that will charge a Samsung phone. If you look up samsung phone charging cable, you'll have the right one.

You can use a standard "Android" phone charging cable to charge it. Just like you would charge a phone.

Well, the charger that I got was a USB to mini-USB cord, which I assume you could plug into whichever USB wall mount you had. This is not a terribly informed answer, but it's the best I've got.

This charger has many adapters including the micro USB that fits your phone, I did some research but ensure your self if that's the port of your device. I have a Samsung S3 and it works perfect.

I only have the S3 version so not sure if it would work or not. They have the same port, though not sure it will charge well or not for that version, sorry.

I have a Galaxy S4. Plugged in every USB cord I have in order to charge it but none showed any charging at all. I even went so far as to use the original USB cable that came with the AC adapter / charger. It still would not charge it. Not even a slow charge. Plugged in my wifes Galaxy S3 ... works perfectly.

The charging cable plugs into a jack on the window mount. The window mount then plugs into the phone directly.

Dear Pete,The Samsung Galaxy S3 does not have a Micro HDMI port so it will not be compatible with our cable. You will want to use an MHL to HDMI adapter cable for your device. We recommend contacting Samsung as they make 2 types of adapters to ensure you purchase the correct one. Pleas contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions.Thank you,BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

I have GS5 - works great - phone gets hot, but never a prob. you need an internal BestFire® Ultra-thin QI Wireless Charging Charger Receiver For Samsung (S5). its available on amazon - just do a search. that's about $14 more, but worth it. Also - it fits inside WITHOUT any other backs. tight but fits. get it - you'll not regret it. love wireless charging.

There is no power adapter (charger) or cable included in this product. There is only a battery, a clear plastic case to hold the battery, and the white charging case pictured that you insert the battery inside. The "charger" that the seller refers to is the external charging case you insert the battery into, and has an LED that indicate the status of your battery (charging or fully charged). You have to plug this external charging case to a cable and power adapter provided by you (that came with your Galaxy S5). It does not come with another "travel charger" and USB 3.0 cable as one is led to believe. There is no power adapter (charger) or cable included in this product.

The charger does not come with a cable; you have to use the cable you already have, or buy a separate one. But yes, you can use the USB to Micro USB charge cable that came with your Galaxy 3.That said, your Galaxy 3 is designed to charge with a 1 amp current. The charger only puts out about half an amp. It will still charge your phone, but it will charge very slowly.

My S5 doesn't fit either. I don't mind that it's a regular micro-usb 2.0 instead of the 3.0, since it will still charge and there's no data involved, but the waterproofing flap has nowhere to go. It rests unevenly, and only charges at all when i take off my case.

I found that with my Samsung Galaxy S3 that when the charging port is damaged, I was unable to completely charge the phone. I also purchased a new OEM replacement battery to see if that would help and it did not. If the charging port is damaged/failing this wireless charging unit may only serve to charge your phone until it completely gives out. Of course, as long as you get a phone with the same charging port as on the portable unit (i.e. Samsung or iPhone) you can still use the portable charger on whatever phone you end up getting. It "should" buy some time.
