Anyone had to replace usb charging flex cable? Are the different revisions compatible with each other, like mine is REV11A.

My problem is simple, i'm tethering my Wifi Nexus 10 to my Galaxy S3 and the S3 just doesn't have the staying power of the tablet and the AP is battery intensive.
I have considered:
Extended battery (unofficial) - don't want the bulk.
Extended battery (official) - not cost effective.
The other option would be usb otg and charger cable but I'd like a single cable if possible.
To make it clear - I'm looking for a double ended micro usb (B) cable.
If anyone knows of a reason this wouldn't work please do say
You could use this adapter with your original cable to see if it dies the job.

I have the same setup (nexus10 and s3) let us know if it does work.
You could try monoprice.com. I get all of my cords and such from them.
eBuyer tend to be pretty good for this stuff.
Just FYI, I tried this using an OTG adapter and a standard USB-A to USB-B micro cable. Depending on which side I plug the OTG adapter into, the S3 charges the Nexus (when the adapter is plugged into the S3) or vice versa (when the adapter is plugged into the N10).
EDIT: It would be interesting to try though what would happen if one was to connect the four pins (VCC, D+, D-, GND) directly to one another, with the ID pin being left unconnected (since that is what a Micro-B to Micro-B cable would most likely do). My guess is that nothing will happen, since neither of the devices assumes a master/slave state and so it doesn't know that it should supply power to the other device. I guess I need to order some Micro-B plugs at Digi-Key and whip up a cable...

I noticed that the USB cable which came with my phone is a regular MicroUSB 2.0 cable. Looking at the phone USB connector, I see there are a couple of more pins on the both left and right side. Also on the specs there is USB3.0 support. Does someone know where to find an USB 3.0 cable for this phone?
Thank you
I am interested if anyone knows the specifics of the micro usb connector used in the LG G2. I am only asking since I mixed up a Motorola Droid usb - micro usb cable last night with the OEM LG cable and thought my 24A update screwed the usb connectivity completely. It was just a cable mixup but it bugs me that the majority of my existing usb cables don't work with the G2. I would understand if the G2 had been shipped with usb 3.0 but it is a 2.0 spec but obviously a slightly different connector spec than older micro usb phones like my older Droids. I like the better connection - more tight and snug feeling with the G2 and OEM cable but I'm not sure what kind of cable to order if I was going to buy more for emergency or travel purposes. Is the new connector usb 3.0 compatible but simply not wired to usb 3.0 transceiever h/w ?

I just picked up a $3.00 USB OTG cable with a fullsized female usb to plug in USB sticks to transfer movies for the guys are work.
OTG is fully supported on the G2, (even shows the plug n pop Graphics of a usb stick inserting.)
Sometimes however it can get a lil finnicky in regards to format however.
I always format my usb sticks on the phone in settings then its good to go.
OK, so the format of the cable is not usb 2.0 micro usb but actually OTG (on the go). I was not aware that OTG had a physical connector change in it's specification, I guess I thought it was simply an enhancement of capabilities of the current micro usb connection. It's wierd how some micro usb cables seem to interoperate OK with OTG and some other don't.
Sorry for the misleading nature of this thread, I simply had a usb cable that went belly up and may have been working intermittently before. I just tested with a plain vanilla .99c usb-micro-usb cable and it work absolutely fine. I imagine the micro usb connectors on these cables can get hosed pretty easily and the G2's female connector seems to be pretty sensitive (some female connectors can be that way
When I first got my G Flex I didn't have this issue. Now it has slowly progessed to the point that it's dropping the connection every 30 seconds. This is a brand new Windows 8.1 PC and it's connected to the USB 3.0 port. (I've also tried the standard ports) I've found a hub that's externally powered. Could that help? Can I do a factory reset and keep my root? TIA
Sounds like a bad USB cable.
Try it with another PC /different cable
Worst case it's a broken USB port on the PC or phone.
Have you tried cleaning the USB port on the phone/PC?
Hi,
I Have had issues with the micro usb charge port on my HTC Raider.
I have resoldered the jack to the pcb and in the process I managed to break the flex cable that attaches to the motherboard.
I was wondering if anyone has information on the pinout of the flex cable?
I only need the vss and gnd just to get the unit charging again.
I have searched all over the net and no luck.
I plan on ordering a new connector but in the meantime I need a working phone.
tia.
I think... @repairsuniverse might be able to help
