No worries - it's just a standard cable.
I've used 3 non-HTC cables and my Touch works fine. One was even an unofficial PSP cable.
Go nuts and use any USB cable you can find. I have never had any problems in the last year. As a matter of fact. I don't even remember which USB was the one that came with my device.
I have used non HTC cables from eBay, but a couple of them recently stopped working (wouldn't allow ActiveSync). The cable that came with the phone seems to be better quality.
The USB standard is universal, any USB cable will work without damaging the device, as long as the heads match.

same to me but i think that other usb cables sometimes drop connection during active sync
no worries, i use a Nokia usb cabel to my htc
Ehm... No, you should use the one, that came with the Elf. Others do not fit in the spot, but still will work.

Hi,
Is it possible to upgrade my imate jasjar using an ordinary USB B-type cable? The cable is used for my camera, and it plugs in my jasjar. Also,I tryed activesync with it, and it worked flawlessly. Why am I asking this is that the original cable is not with me right now ,and I wanted to know before I try to erase my ROM and upgrade my phone.
Thnx
everything should be fine, i cant see why there would be any issues, ive used 3/4 different cables now, depending on what pc im using, and ive rom upgraded on all of em, no issues
Thnx for the reply, but were those cables different activesync cables or just normal mini USB cables (like a cable that came with your camera,scanner..etc)? I just want to be sure as you didnt note from where did you get those cables. Thanx
I've lost track of where my originally supplied USB cable is - I've updated ROMs in a couple of places (home/work/etc) with different cables purchased from eBay as simply "USB A to USB B Mini" cables, so you should be fine with any cable that works to sync.
Cheers,
Steve.

Yup - I've used a cable from another source with no issues whatsoever. USB cables are a standard item, there's nothing special about them (apart from some are more physically robust than others).
hi all does anyone know if it's possible to connect a usb flash drive to a mini usb and if a ppc will read the drive when plugged in?
It's possible. I saw some software that allowed you to do that, but beware, it will drain your battery severely.
thanks kraize, i wasn't planning on using it too often unplugged anyway but didn't think a flash drive would use that much power. would be nice if i could connect up a laptop hdd to the mini usb but not sure if it would have the power to run it anyway or access it?
It won't work. I tried it on my kaiser, and it didn't work. The only phones that can do that are the HTC Advantage, and the XDA Flame. No other phones has that hardware capasity.
Thanks hollywould, i did suspect that would be the case and thought someone would've tried it. didn't think it would be able to access hdd but was hoping
Previously my USB port was working fine and mass storage was working correctly. Now I can't connect to my laptop and it says USB Device Not Recognized. I wiped out my laptop and it still doesn't work. I've looked around and nothing seems to solve my problem. I'm on SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0.2 and running Windows 7 32-bit. Can anyone solve my problem?
Are you using the stock samsung cable? If so ditch it for anything else. Their stock cable flakes out...
Sent from my ACS frozen Epic
I'm using the stock cable. where would you recommend to get another one?
i have been dealing with this problem for about a week and a half. I never thought it was the USB. I borrowed my brothers blackberry usb cable and it worked like a charm. Thanks.

I have tons laying around from various other devices, any Micro USB should do. If you don't have any from other devices then any place like radio shack, office max/depot, staples, microcenter, bestbuy.... should carry them, probably even walmart and target in the electronics section. You are looking for a micro USB cable.
You don't need anything fancy(expensive) that's gold plated, high speed, etc... Just try to find something that looks a little less flimsy than the one Samsung gave us.
1. Buy this
2. Plug phone into PC
3. ?????
4. CEELLLEEEBRATE GOOD TIMES COME ON!
Just use a different cable. The cable that comes with the phone is a pos.... How i know?? My girlfriend almost threw the phone and the laptop over the window.. when she got tired of being trying she asked me and I just got the cable from my Evo and voila!!! Its working!!!
Also I had issues if it was a case USB and not one directly on the mobo.
I just used my sisters cable and now it works like a charm.
Hey guys. I bought this http://www.ebay.com/itm/10cm-OTG-Mi...737062?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5ae61d4ee6 and tried on my new HTC One X. It didn´t fit so I had to push on it little bit. After that I find out that on this **** product is some metal attact that I removed with my nail. I attached and force this **** to my lovely phone. Do you think I could damage the usb input of One X? Or shall I be worried? It works but I dont want to have it damaged..
So anyway, this **** doesnt work, so can you please help me to buy new micro USB to usb host adapter?
I am sorry for my english. Thanks
I dont think there`s a difference between brandings of the cable... looks like u`ve just had no luck
My one works good... used it to connect my PS3 Controller to the device.

Are you also able to use USB storage with it?
I tried the Samsung MicroUSB to USB adaptor and my One X refuses to recognize my Xbox360 controller
The One X doesn't support USB host, unfortunately, so external storage, controllers and keyboards will not work.

Yep. There's some discussion about it in the general area, I believe - noone noticed it wasn't in the specs, a bit of an oversight really...
i also tried reading a usb flash drive with a host cable, no luck
the same cable work with xperia s
My S9 works when connected to bluetooth but the screen is black. I can't use the screen at all. How can I retrieve the data on my phone without paying almost $300 to repair the screen?

get a MHL cable and if your digitizer still works, you should be able to navigate thru the menus and be able to bluetooth or wifi all your data off of it. if your digitizer is broken, use the MHL and a OTG cable for mouse/keyboard control

Thanks so much. Is the MHL Micro USB Male to HDMI Female Adapter Cable for Android Smartphone and Tablet the correct one to purchase?

no problem man
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=s9+mhl&i=mobile&ref=nb_sb_noss
those are the cables, and yep, youre correct. the list in the link has everything from a hub style connector (should need something that heavy duty) to the samsung branded one and everything in between. Remember that if you buy one that isnt the samsung one, then compatibility issues may arise. You could just buy it, use it (gingerly and carefully) then return it. Kinda shady, i know, but yeah.

I've purchased the cable and still nothing. It came with a micro usb. I'm not sure if I'm connecting it correctly but I am getting nothing on screen. Can you please help me connect it properly. All I want to do is turn on smart switch so I can transfer my info. :crying::crying:

take a phone charger brick, plug the usb into it and the other end into the mhl adapter. Plug the usb type c into the phone and an hdmi cable to the mhl adapter and tv. MHL adapters need power to work
