I purchased this cable off eBay for a spare. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300510528360
When I use this cable the charge function works fine but when I plug it into my PC Windows gives me an error loading the MTP driver and there is an <!> mark on the MTP device in device manager.
When I swap in the stock cable in the same USB port it comes right up without error.
Obviously the difference is the cable but my question is:
Is the cable DEFECTIVE or just incompatible? It is cheap enough where I'll just order another one. I read numerous times where the GTAB 7" cables should be fine ..... or was that for charging only?

Can anyone tell me that how i can use the USB Cable to charge my I780.
Do i have to install any driver or patch in my phone
thank you so much
Set your USB mode to storage card or install the Samsung USB driver provided with the phone. Then it should be charged after plugging in.
With usb chargers for the power plug it won't work with the provided usb cable. What I did: I've bought an additional charger, cut off the cable and connected it with the plug of a spare usb cable. Now the phone also gets charged w/o a pc...

Hi,
I've used a USB charger on all my phones for a few years now. Just plug phone in on my desk and no worries. However my new Defy doesn't seem to take a charge from the USB on my network device (it's not a full PC). However my HTC HD2 could get a charge from it so:
1. Is the Defy more power hungry that it won't charge from an ND (I assume NDs put out less power over USB than a PC)
2. Does it just not show on the battery on the Defy that it's charging?
3. Have I missed something simple? I've gone into USB connection and selected charge only. I can't install drivers on the ND though, could that be it? The ND hasn't said it's found new hardware either though.
Thanks in advance for advice
motorola has a notorious reputation on this, they require a usb driver to be installed for charging some of their phones...
i think there's some strange combinations at work about this but, just use a standalone charger and it should solve the problem.
Thanks. I thought it would be that.
Bit short of plug sockets at work but I'll figure something out
Another point to note is that the Defy is very fussy regarding USB cables. A lot of cheap ones will pass data but no charge.

Would you consider hacking a usb cable to make a charging lead? A standard usb lead plugged into a PC will try to enumerate with the PC before it starts to draw power from the PC. However if you hacked a usb cable and shorted the DM and DP lines on the phone side, the phone 'should' detect the cable as a mains charger rather than a PC, thus enabling charge without any drivers on the PC. It would be something like the attachment...
Thanks for all the replies. Although my USB cable wasn't cheap and was capable of charging an HD2 which must be more power hungry than a Defy, it turns out the Defy is really fussy. It's charging fine through the Motorola USB lead on my network device.
My USB loading experience
Hi,
just to share my exp:
- loading with most USB loaders: fine
- My Car loaders and my multi power adaptor with usb can load everything but the defy
- on Computer no problem (some say you will have better battery performance when loading on non Computer: I can´t see a difference)
- cable doesn´t change anything

I've bought a couple of USB cables from ebay. My Defy seems to connect and disconnect when using them, like it has a loose connection. If I use the Motorola one, of course it's fine!
I just purchased 3 micro-USB cables. I took one with me to test it out on tlmy chine at work, however whenever I plug it into my laptop windows pops up with a message saying unrecognized device, further clucking the popup and seeing what is wrong with it complains that the device is unreadable or may be corrupt. I am wondering if the cables that I bought are "cheap" or if something else is wrong. The stock cable works fine. Is there a specific cable that works with this device? What extra cables have you bought that work with windows, Odin, or normal chargers. Once I get back I can link the cables that I purchased.
These are the cables I purchased. I tested a different one on my desktop (instead of the laptop), and it pops up with the same error message

The original post was written with my phone.
For those who had problems with their Kies or Windows not recognizing their S3 or find that copying your files using the MTP device mode slow, change your USB cable. I had problems rooting my Rogers G3, copying files to my computer was impossible and when I connect my G3 to a Vista desktop computer, I get the error USB device not recognized (code 10). Then I remember I have no problems with my Win7 laptop. The only difference was the USB cable. I use the same cable on the Win7 laptop and Wahla! Everything worked beautifully!
You would think there is no difference in a regular USB cable but it does. Hope this helps those having those nightmares trying to connect their phones to Kies.
Well.... i could see maybe if your USB cable was damaged somehow that it was hindering functionality... or was just a crappy USB cable to begin with.... but USB is USB. Pin layouts haven't changed.... nor has the wiring layout for USB cables changed. Yes, we have three different classes of USB now... but as far as i'm aware, it's only the USB controllers that are different, not the cables that are used. If they changed the cables, then i don't think that there would be a possibility of pretty much universal backwards compatibility between all versions of USB. I've used my S3's micro-USB cable... my old Motorola Atrix 4G's micro-USB cable... hell, even the micro-USB cable used to charge my Logitech mouse... never had a problem with any of them. Soooo.... a damaged cable is the only thing i can think of that would have caused issues with it not recognizing the device.
I thought the same. This 'damaged' usb cable is from my Samsung Vibrant. It still works with my Vibrant. How do you explain that?
Anyway, just trying to help.
Didn't help me either unfortunately. My laptop works fine but have the problem on my desktop. Setup my parents Galaxy S III with its new cable and had the same problem. Luckily I found that I can use the USB 3.0 port as a workaround...
When I plug phone via USB into PC running Windows 11 the phone will only charge.I don't get any options on the phone for file transfer and the PC doesn't detect it. Any tips. It's usually pretty straightforward.
maybe a driver problem?
It came down to the cables I was using.
The Huawei cable I use for the 65W charger didn't work. The Huawei cable for the 15W Wireless Charger didn't work. Found another cable in my cupboard (don't know what or where it comes from) but it now works and I get the options for transfer on the Fold and it shows up in PC's file manager.

Thanks for replying. It was a cable problem.Doesn't seem to like Huawei cables.Very strange.
So the Huawei cable ends are Purple and Orange in colour. Both cables don't work for transfer but only charge when plugging into your PC. The cable end which is White works fine.
Just in case someone else runs into this problem since the phone doesn't come with a charger and cable and you might use your Huawei cables and find you can't connect to your PC to transfer files but only charge.
That isn't new. Samsung had before issue where if you used non Samsung cable the Samsung phone will nag about port was wet, when it wasn't. But now it seems Samsung finally got rid of that limit so charging with any USB C works now. But it seems you need to use original cable for phone when it comes to transfer of files.
