Can someone recommend where to buy the proper cable for connection to the Xoom so that one can connect USB devices? I've bought two so far, and the first one was the right connection to the Xoom, but didn't have a tight enough contact point. The second one did not supply enough power to the device.
TIA
This cable works great. Mine came yesterday.

I can't say which one to get, but I can say: do not go with the ones at meritline.com. They say OTG, but they're just charging cables. (followed someone's advice from another thread and now I'm waiting for one to ship from ebay)...
If you want it fast, and don't mind the price, you won't go wrong with the original Motorola cable: http://www.store.motorola.com/Camer...olor_map,price,size_name&searchRank=salesrank
+1 Using the Motorola cable with no issues. It's expensive but the convenience of knowing it'll work and shipped fast was worth it to me.

Just got mine from Meritline, and boy, am I disappointed. Haha. Looks like I'll be buying one from BestBuy with my gift card when I get the chance.

Also got this cable. I was quoted 2-4 weeks for shipping, but it only took 8 business days (10 calendar days). The guy even took a picture of the package when he shipped, kinda funny. The cable works perfectly.

Unfortunately, I can also confirm the meritline ones do not work... guess I'm going after the Moto one.
Just got the motorola branded OTG cable at best buy for 20 bux. I know there are cheaper alternatives but those reviews are so hit or miss.

There's nothing to correct. The evo uses a micro (type d) connector. The cable on overstock is a mini (type c).

It wasn't available for like..a month.
Monoprice has the best prices on them.
Sprint price for their relabeled Chinese crap: $500
MONSTER Cable: $250
Sprint cable, from eBay and without the Sprint/HTC label: $15
Better cable from eBay: $10
Have fun wasting your money.
(In case you can't tell, yes, this is an exageration, but the point remains the same.)

i had the same problem with my monoprice cable. Went to their site and did an rma, they send me a new one for free and told me to keep the old one. the new one works much better. With a connector that small, if its off my a few micrometers it could make it loose.

It's about 2ft. and says its OEM Samsung. It does look like the cable that was in my t-mo Vibrant box only shorter.
Purchased on the Thur. 18th received Mon. 22nd.
Hope this helps

Monoprice.com sells them pretty cheaply but if you need one now, the T-Mobile stores (Limited / Corporate - not sure about the Kiosks) have an L-shaped USB DATA cable for $10.
BEWARE! Some USB cables are for charging only. It has come to my attention that certain stores such as Radio Shack, etc have been selling $20 USB cables that do charging only. This is likely not intentional, it's just due to inexperienced staff.
For example, this caused someone to come to me and ask why they couldn't mount their phone to their computer. Well, you can't if the cable doesn't support it. Make sure it's a data cable and it will do both before buying.

if you need one fast, try going to the tmobile store and ask if they have any extra vibrant usb cables (or any other micro usb cable) in the back. say you would pay for it,but u need it quick because your cat chewed yours up. usually they wont charge. worked everytime for me. i did it to get headphones and cables for 3 yrs =)
tmo has them for 15 bucks. just bought one the other day. it wa n the mytouch slide section - dont matter its the same cord.

I buy all kinds of USB cords off of Amazon. I bought 4 BB OEM cords for 60 cent a piece and they all shipped to tether for 2 bucks (they were only 3 feet though) . And I got a 6ft cable for 2bucks free shipping. I would try there first. I ordered them all on Monday got them by Wed. The Bb cords came from NJ not sure where the other one came from.

I was reading through the threads and saw a few comments from members who said the stock Samsung charger is not that good
This is my first experience with a Samsung Galaxy phone so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a good USB Cable
I've already experienced some issues that may be USB Cable related. Some files I transferred through FTP would not complete. It showed up while the phone was charged but when I unplug it the file disappeared (on internal storage)
So if anyone could possibly suggest a good cable, preferably with a link to purchase , I would greatly appreciate it thanks!

Whether or not the Samsung cable is sub-par, you are going to want a better charger. You'll want at least a 2 amp charger (Amazon basics has a decent 2.1 amp one).

I used this charger last night on my GS3 with the old cable from my Droid Charge (which appears to be nearly identical). Seems fine. Charge was decently quick, and there wasn't excess heat at the connector or with the device at large.
My only complaint with the included TouchPad cable is that it "hangs" upon removal, whereas the Samsung charging cable feels a lot smoother going into and out of the port.

TBH, you can't go wrong with the Motorola charger. It's solid, name brand, and quick charges. (plus it's roughly 4.85 on amazon) The problem with ebay is fakes... for something like this.
Griffin 2A usb charger (charger only) use with a good microusb cable and you will never buy anything else again...
This thing charges so fast its crazy. And it's great quality, though expensive...
Be careful online.. Griffin sells their throw aways for super cheap in package so they look like retail products... (the upc might be 1 off or something)
