How to get a replacement AC charger & cable for a new Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini

I've had my new Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini for a few days.  Last night I plugged in the phone's wall charger and cable to charge.  The following message appeared on the screen: To charge faster use the charger and cable provided with this phone.  I did use the charger and cable that was shipped with the phone.  Then the charging indicator under the Settings menu changed from charging to not charging several times.  I noticed that the plug into the phone was a little loose. 
There is a little black tag on the cable with the following:  For warranty replacement of your phone call 1-866-406-5154
I called the number to see about getting a new cable and wall charger.  I was offered a free medical alert necklace if I was older than 50, and then I was told that I had won a free cruise and was asked about personal info such as social #.  I never did get to speak to anyone about the problems I am having with my charger. 
So, I'm hoping I get two things resolved with this post.
I need a new cable and wall adapter to charge my new phone.
I would like someone to know that the cable that came with my new phone has a black tag on it with a phone number.  And when called, they ask for personal information in exchange for a free cruise on a ship.
Thanks!
Liz

  • HT3702 How do I get details of what charges were for to make sure they are mine?

    There are many charges on my latest credit card bill for iTunes NZ Cork IRL for 07 September, 09 September , 15 September , 18th September, 19 & 20 September, 24 25 & 26 September.
    How donI find out what these were for?

    If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases (the most recent purchase is above the list). I'm not sure if auto-renewing subscriptions show on there. If you can't find the charge or don't recognise it then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I cannot get the ringback tones to work on my new Samsung Galaxy S III

    I have a new Samsung Galaxy and I purchased some ring tones and ringback tones for specific contacts. The tones work fine but the ringback tones do not work at all. I am registered, I have taken the appropriate steps to purchase, attach and manage these songs. What is the problem?

    Are you managing your ringback tones through your MyVerizon account online?

  • Getting a replacement start up disk for imac

    How to get a replacement start up disk for my imac?
    I lost the original startup disk and the mac didn't start up, only with "?" folder.

    Call Apple technical support. They can probably sell you a new set of the original disks for a reasonable fee, if your iMac did come with installation disks (Macs that shipped with OS X 10.7 or 10.8 did not come with disks).
    Regards.

  • Does apple make a black charging cable for a MacBook air?

    Hi All,
    I'm looking for a black charging cable for my new MacBook Air. I realize that this sounds like a ridiculous request, but my cat has an affinity for white cords. Anyone know where I can find one?

    Bloody Cats,
    I have  a similar problem unfortunately they don't, the Patent protection on Apple's Mag Safe tech is mostly likely why you can buy a non Apple one.

    Is it free to replace a charging cable that has stopped working?

    If you are still under the 1 year warranty, and Apple determines it is defective, then yes it is.

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
    If the basic troubleshooting steps don't work, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and probable replacement.

  • Does anyone know how to get Adobe to stop charging for a subscription that is no longer being used?

    Does anyone know how to get Adobe to stop charging for a subscription that is no longer being used?

    For full details on cancelling a membership and subscription see the following page:
    Cancel your membership or subscription | Creative Cloud
    Depending on where you are in your subscription cycle / membership and the type of membership
    If you have an individual membership, and opted for the annual membership (lower monthly fee). If you are cancelling in the middle of your membership, then you would be billed 50% of what's left of your membership for the remainder of the year, basically that would then in $$s become more like having taken out a month-by-month membership (higher monthly membership fee).
    If you are in the last month of your annual membership or your are on a month-by-month membership, you can log into your creative cloud account, cancel the plan yourself (no additional charges apply), by logging in with your Adobe ID and password, click your name in top left of screen and click on Manage Account.

  • Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different?  When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

    Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different?  When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Does anybody knows where can i buy a replacement AC power cable for my cinema display 27"?

    Does anybody knows where can i buy a replacement AC power cable for my cinema display 27"?

    It may not be the same molded plug but I would think any normal 3-prong computer power cable should work.
    How about this one?
    922-6529 Power Cord - Apple Cinema Display
    I've always had the theory that if you put two computer power cords in a drawer they will breed and you'll end up with a lot more!   My parts drawer is always full of them.  They like to knot up by themselves as well!  Maybe that's how they breed.

  • The battery for my macbook pro 13 says "service battery".  Now I want to get a replacement but the reviews for it are horrible! Does anybody have any suggestions?

    The battery for my macbook pro 13 says "service battery".  Now I want to get a replacement but the reviews for it are horrible! Does anybody have any suggestions? I don't want to spend 130 dollars on something I'm going to have to replace in less than a year (which is what normally I been reading)  I do design work and I take my mac everywhere.  Having to always look for a plug or having to be constantly plugged in doesn't sound ideal to me.  Please help me. what should I do???

    Why does it matter if it a scam????? I'll let you figure that out by yourself.  If I'm going to replace it, why should I be contempt with a battery that I have to replace within months (as stated by some people in the comments). The issue here is not if I should or not replace it OBVIOUSLY I'm going to have to before it starts going crazy.  The underlying issue is why is the replacement battery for a lack of better words " a bit crap."  It comes with a 3 month guarantee?? Is that a joke?!??!?! Some people complained it malfunction after only 8- 9 months? I'm sorry but as an Apple fan I think it's absolutely rubbish. I know there is no magic cure I'm just hoping someone shines the light on how crappy this replacement is.

  • Micro B charger cable for CK-100

    Hi,
    I have a CK-100 car kit and trying to find a replacement/upgrade charge cable (CA-134) with a USB micro B connector instead of the 2mm that is fitted.  The user/installation guide mentions that an alternative USB cable may be supplied but all searches have failed to find one.  The alternative is to make up a cable RJ45 at the CK end, I can buzz it out but does anyone have the pin out for the RJ45?  I've tried the CA-146 adapter and to be honest it's naff - it runs hot and the output is reduced to the point that whilst running my satnav app the phone will discharge faster than it can be charged, I've also tried the adapter on a standard car charger with the same results.
