I just bought micro usb cable from pc shop. Try charge my IncS its show charging but after 1/2 hour the battery only charge 10%.
Same case when i use in car. Charge while using gps to navigate, but my battery still drain fast and at the end shutdown.

TQ
Sent from my HTC Incredible S

yeah i was in the same boat. i bought an aftermarket usb cable. and the cable wouldn't charge or allow me to mount my sd card on PC from Phone. But it works on Nokia C3-01 phone just fine.
I'd stay away from those cables and just buy the genuine HTC cable, atleast they are reliable.
if you want a more cables just look on ebay you can find them cheap, i buy mine for AU$3

I bought cable for Samsung captivate, it`s work fine with pc & car charger. Before Samsung cable i bought cable "prolife" and couldnt charge phone with that.

I've bought this cable: http://dx.com/p/designer-s-flexible-usb-charging-data-cable-for-htc-174cm-length-73860
Works terrible.
I get slow downloads and slow uploads.

Not surprising. The cable is flat, so the pairs aren't twisted, basically clobbering the noise immunity.

Couldn't not be because the shield is not solder in both ends?
By the way, thanks for the insight.

Same problem. I tried with a nokia micro usb cable and it doesn't work! The usb cable of my kindle instead works fine

But the original HTC cable is also flat: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=196200&phone=196001
I'm reading at Amazon for a guy that reviewed the cable as only working for charging... but in the product description says that should work for data:

There must be a different issue here

the htc cable appears to be slightly thicker, which should give them room for the twisting.

I've find out that the problem only happends when I connect the cable to the monitor (external Dell monitor) and does not happend when I plug the cable directly to the desktop (the front USB port).
I must add the Samsung OEM cable is 95 cm and the "HTC" is 174 cm.
So I think is a matter of noise and cable length.

Replacement Data Cable

I notice that the USB cable for the Spice-Mi410/Ideos X6 is not the regular mini-USB connector. I am thinking of getting a replacement data cable (to keep in my office in case I need to charge the phone). Where can I find one or what are the replacement options I have?
Thanks...

Are you sure its not generic, because I thought all android phones have same usb socket. I remember using a LG cable sometime in the past.......

Ahh its generic i always use my brother's samsung cable, they are all alike afaik.

hi
it is very much available at any local mobile shop i got one for use at office

@whyzee, @nayneshdev: I tried with a samsung Galaxy cable and I couldn't fit it in. I haven't tried with other brands (Android phones). I will do that.
@haree: Will check the local mobile shops. I usually asked them for a cable giving my model name (which they didn't recognize ).

are you sure your usb socket of your phone is not faulty? make sure your clear that up too because triumph phones have had this problem....

Any MicroUSB cable is compatible with this Phone, I'm using Nokia N8's Data Cable because mine I forgot at my Bro's house (1000Kms Away) so can't go again only for the cable and as this is already working so I didn't tell him to send through Post (Courier)

The data cable that came with the box works, I think there is no problem with the USB socket. I will try the microUSB cable as suggested by ardX

yes it is not mini-USB but a micro usb. I think mini USB is mainly used in portable hard drives.

Cables cable cables

I'm in the market for a new cable to charge my Note but there is so many in the market that i'm quite confused.
I know that the Note uses a micro usb to usb wire. I'm using a 1.8m cable that i
got when i bought a kindle and i am looking to purchase one at the same length
as the kindle wire is peeling near the connection point , and it is quite un sightly...
http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-...id=1344947903&sr=1-4&keywords=micro+usb+cable
This would work right? It is named micro b instead of micro usb though. .

Any reason you can say why it is not ideal to use USB cable to power a phone ?
I have been using USB cable most of the time to charge my phone from laptop. I was under the impression that slow charge is always good for batteries.
Please explain

I believe it would be because he has read the product description. It doesn't state that it shouldn't be used for charging, but just to make sure that your device can take the amperage of the cable. This cable is specified for use with Continually connecting devices (eg printers, HDD etc), and not for charging. The Link below can be purchased in a 2m Length (slightly longer).

Thanks all.
Found out that amazon doesn't ship to singapore. Have decided to purchase from gmarket although refunds are harder.
The seller is here: http://list.qoo10.sg/item/FREE-GIFTS-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S3-CASES/405902986
And to those saying that other wires apard from the one given by samsung.
I have been using the kindle one since i bought my note. And it is still going
strong. Apart from the ics brick bug that got repaired by warranty.
Also by the time it really starts to show that your battery is spoilt. Your plan
with whatever telco should have expired and you are entitled to a cheaper phone
with renewal. Live free guys

How important can a USB cable be ?

Hi everyone @xda,
Here's a new thread I wanted to open to share a recent experience.
I currently have a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 7. Both are recent ones and I have myself newly fallen into Android and tablets.
So far, I only had small cell phones and I could charge them with almost every charger and USB cable in the world.
No so easy with the Nexus 7.
First, it seems it's charger delivers a thick 2.6A so any charger weaker than that, and the full charge would last for ever...
But another weird thing is that I noticed that, if I use the stock charger with another USB cable, the charge is SSSLLLLOOOOWWWW....
Even better. I have the dedicated Nexus 7 dock.
If I use the USB cable that came with my previous Sony Ericsson mobile, the Nexus 7 won't even consider it is charging.
Same USB port, same dock, but different cable (from Belkin or the stock cable) : no problem, it charges !
So, I have come to the conclusion that the USB cable can make a big difference.
Can I be wrong ?
Regards.
NexusPenguin

Yes.. I broke the USB cable of my Nexus 7 after 2 weeks... The only one who charges the Nexus as fast as the stock is the samsung cable of my SGS2. With another cable (lower than 2A), it takes more than a night to charge my nexus...

Hi Albadros,
Thanks to confirm that...
For a moment I thought I was a little stupid thinking the USB cable could be at fault !
So the cable DOES make a difference... I'll take care of the cable I'll buy from now on
Regards.

It's hard to find an USB cable where the informations are written but you can buy a charger micro-USB and it's written on it. You must have the same as the Nexus charger (2,0 A). (I think a charger for BB Playbook has the good characteristics)

In my experience it has something to do with the cable length and how the charger is constructed...
but there is already a thread about this topic:

In disagreement here. Got my Nexus 7 about a week ago, and right off the bat the USB cable that came with it (asus) was awful. Just like the crap that came with my S3. Not sure how or why, but the USB cable that came with my Pantech Crossover a few years ago is still the best for me. It charges my N7 fast as hell, and it's pretty durable too! Only cable I have that doesn't seem cheaply made, again as confused as everyone, I repeat a PANTECH cable..

Phone not charging

Hey everyone,
I recieved a new LeEco Le 2 yesterday. It is Le X526 Indian version. The charging cable has normal USB on one end and USB C on the other. There is no response when I plug the charger. It is not charging. I tried by switching it off and same result.
The adaptor is working as I could charge another device using it. There is no way for me to check the cable since I don't have any other USB C device. Now if has only about 10% left. I have switched it off and kept for charging. What should I do now? Any suggestions please...

Gonna do that. I bought it from Flipkart for an offer price. Hopefully, it can be replaced.
Update : My father has got it to charge by adjusting the USB C end. Definitely something wrong with either the cable or the USB port on the phone. He noticed something weird too. He was able to connect the normal USB end of the cable on the adaptor both ways. Is it also reversible? Anyway, I am gonna leave it untouched till it charges fully and do more inspections later.

I am a little confused now. Now it is working most of the times. Even when it does not, I can adjust it a little bit and it works. In effect, I can get it to work everytime. I am wondering whether the problem is with the cable somehow. Does nobody else have this problem? Is it really worth the hassle of replacement? Somebody please confirm..

There may be some kind of insulator covering one of the contact pins. IF YOU SAY IT WORKS, PLUG AND PLAY, then no need to return. IF YOU FEEL SOME INCONVENIENCE AND HAVE TO KEEP THE CABLE OF PHONE IN CERTAIN POSITION FOR IT TO CHARGE, JUST RETURN IT. MOST PROBABLY, THE FLIPKART GUY BRINGS A REPLACEMENT PHONE WHEN HE COMES TO PICK THE PHONE ITSELF.

Yes replace it.
Why you are taking loss just replace it.

Replace Phone

Thanks everyone for your valuable suggestions. I have requested for a replacement. But the flipkart customer service is not making it easy. First they wanted me to reset the phone even though this is a hardware issue. Then they wanted me to install SmartChk app to verify the problem. But after that, now they want me to verify whether the problem is with the charger or the phone. When I told them that I have no USB C cables, they want me now to go to some shop and check this. Without doing that they won't proceed.
Update : Everything is fine. I went to a Leeco service centre and found out the issue was with the cable. I found out that if there is any issue with the phone, it would take around a month to repair it. They didn't even have cables in stock. Surely, flipkart will deliver faster. Flipkart gave me 2 options. They would either give me ₹200 with which I can buy a new cable or they will replace everything. I went with replacement. No quality cable can be bought for that price and I don't want to take any risks with USB C cables right now. Hopefully, replacement has no issues.

My Le 2 is not charging. When I connect it to charger, it shows that it is charging but the battery percentage is not increasing. I don't have any other device to check if the problem is with my type-C cable or not. Any help will be appreciated.

Change your charging cable.

My Le 3 is not charging. When I connect it to charger, it shows that it is charging but the battery percentage is not increasing. I don't have any other device to check if the problem is with my type-C cable or not. Any help will be appreciated.

This is ultimately a fault of the USB-C design. Look in the port and you will see it has a thin piece of plastic inside of it. This slides into the charger and has contacts on it. If that little piece of plastic gets cracked/bent/broken, the port is toast. Yes, your octa core, 32 GB 5.5" HD display device can be rendered useless by the cracking of a tiny piece of plastic bending.
This is why Micro USB is the superior connector, all the contacts are mounted to the interior of the port that is secured to the device. Yet another example of the tech industry replacing something in existence with something worse just o sell you new cables and adapters.

My Le 2 x520 is not charging. When I connect it to charger, it shows that it is charging but the battery percentage is not increasing. I don't have any other device to check if the problem is with my type-C cable or not.
