Does the Charging Cradle charge the tablet faster than the micro USB connection?

No, I don't think so. I do know it takes longer if you place the tablet in the cradle and let the photo album run. The photo album will automatically come on and you have to push the off button on the side of the tablet once to make the screen go dark. I love the cradle.

The back side of cradle has micro USB connection (for 5 volt DC Power in) then charging time depend on your AC adapter or your USB host.

Yes it does. It is also much more easy. All you do is drop it in the cradle. It uses the same power cable you have now. It just plugs into the cradle. I recommend it.

it is the same, however you do not have to remove the cover or lift the tab to charge. I use the dock at home and the cord when travelling.

The dock is rechargeable when you connect with the USB cable/cord. The tablet or phone would have to be charged with whatever separate USB or electric cable/cord came with the tablet. Since the dock is bluetooth, it should make no difference if you want to charge either the tablet or the docking station. However, the dock does not charge the tablet. It is merely a dock that you can set your tablet in if you would like or you can leave it off the dock and still use it.

Yes, this item should allow you to charge from a standard USB wall charger to a mini USB device. Do note that the end that connects to the tablet/device is the mini USB which generally is not standard.

Mine came with a charging USB cable exactly like the one that came with your tablet. However, mine did not come with the adapter the USB plugs into, which in turn plugs into the wall. There is also a required adapter piece that comes with the cradle, that fits into the bottom of your tablet. This is how the cradle charges your tablet. It's white and is hid on the underside of the cardboard box that comes with the cradle. Make sure you don't throw it out accidently! I almost did.

Why would you use a 25ft wire to connect you tablet to charge. There is microsecond delay with the length, resistance in traveling the distance but you should not see any effect. Why not use a short USB cord?

I have been using the charger for my phone and charging via the USB. I believe the issue with my tablet not charging was actually something that occurred internally and that it was not the wall charger.

The charger that comes with the cradle, is the same one that comes with your tablet, just without the wall-plug adapter.So you'll be limited to using your tablet to when it's plugged into the USB port of a computer.

The dock uses the same charger you have when you bought the tablet. The dock comes with its own cord.

Charging does not limit it's functionality, however using the device slows the charge rate, I.E. it will take longer.

I think that it is a bit slower to charge than the charger that comes with the tablet. That being said, I still use it more often when I take it to work or vacation because the cord is longer.

If you mean, can you do that while the base is in the position shown above...then No. If you look at your tablet, you will see two contact points on the left side, towards the bottom. That's where the base connects. This base allows you to charge your tablet without having to pop open the USB port cap. And when used with certain tablet covers, you can charge the tablet without removing it from the cover. I love this cradle, don't have to worry about damaging the USB cord while charging. It's only CON is that it's difficult to use the tablet in portrait mode while it's connected.

It is the same micro USB that other androids use. When I use the Samsung charger it comes with, and can get a full charge really fast. Other chargers take more time.

Yes. I don't know if charging time is longer when both are connected though.

I don't remember getting a charger with this. I'm pretty sure you use the one that came with your device. That being said, I'm glad I bought the cradle and have been very happy with it. You should be able to find a standard USB charger to plug your cable into just about anywhere these days.

This charging cradle will not work for the S Tablet. The charging interface for the S Tablet is completely different from the newer Z Tablet.

How old is "older" ? If the tablet is only a couple of years old, and the problem is located where the charger cable fits into the tablet, then the cradle will not help. If you know the cable connections at the tablet are good, and there is nothing wrong with the tablet, then the cradle should work for you.

The cradle works fine with my Sony Tablet.However I have to remove the tablet cover every time I want to charge it. That is the only disadvantage.
