You don't need the same micro-usb cable that came with the phone. any micro-usb cable will work just as good. I have found that the cable that comes with this phone works well only with this phone and constantly loses connection with other devices. If your looking for a replacement cable, I would stay away from the Samsung OEM cable.
Stay away from cheap Sears ones to.mine makes my touch screen all jumpy while it is plugged in.

I got a few of these a while back. They are identical in every way to the cable that came with my Infuse, AT&T Galaxy S2 and now my T-Mobile Galaxy S2. They are "real" Samsung cables (not that it matters).

and here with the OEM charger: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Travel-Charger-Adapter-MicroUSB/dp/B0049IE70I/ref=pd_cp_cps_1
That being said, the 98cent cables from Monoprice work perfectly fine.
I have bought plenty of other cables, but its just that the cable my SG2 came with is really good and it fits nicely and secure in my phone. I've bought a lot that seem to not stick in the slot properly
This is the cable it cane with.

Thats not the same cable that comes with the t-mobile galaxy s2. That charger isn't the t-mobile galaxy s2 oem charger either.
To the op, I have yet to see a place that has the actual cable or chargers that come with our phones.
Edit: op, the Tmobile sensation 4G micro cable is a decent cable and does sit securely in this phone. I'd take that cable as a 2nd choice if needed urgently.

I don't have my phone since it arrives tomarrow, but every BlackBerry cable I've ever tried on my Vibrant worked just fine. Heck I even use my wifes BlackBerry car adapter now and then. They both use the micro usb cable. I can't see why they would be any different for the SGII.
Yeah I have the sensation 4G cable as well. I bought these gold plated cables online, but they don't charge my phone. Spent $10 for 3 of them. What a waste.
I previously bought 3 other cables from a different company and they were a POS. They came apart with in weeks. No joke. But I found that original SG2 T-MOBILE cable to be amazingly good. I wouldn't mind spending cash on them.

That's not the cable that came with mine. I got the same cable for the T989 as I got with the AT&T Infuse and the AT&T GS2 i777. All except the Infuse came from corp stores in sealed boxes. I guess they change "official cables" depending on their inventory. Mine all are all (Amazon ones and the ones in the box) identical to this one: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/APCBU10BBEBSTD as are the ones I linked to on Amazon and all have the Samsung logo on them and are sealed Samsung packages with the part number on them. If you go to the link above click on the "see all" button.
Also added a pic of the charger that came with both GS2's (AT&T and T-Mo) but not with the Infuse, that was slightly different but the cables were the same. It too is the same as the one from Amazon I linked to that was like $10 for the OEM cable and OEM charger.
Oh wow. I got completely different cables and charger. Mine came sealed too and they have the Samsung logo. I'll upload some pics when I get home. The quality build on the cable and charger are really good. That's why I wanna get some spares.

That picture is the exact charger/cable that comes WITH the infuse and not the gs2. You got shafted. As the cable that comes with the gs2 is more premium and the charger is like the ipod/iphone one but in black.
Guess chargers just aren't your thing.
Thanks, your photo is very helpful since it confirms what I've haven't otherwise been able to confirm, the charger outputs up to 0.7A.
I picked up a T989 off of ebay that didn't come with a charger. Hmm. Anyway, my Nexus One chargers seem to work fine with it, but 0.5A chargers do not charge it. FWIW, the T989 manual at Samsung pictures a charger that looks like this one at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OSURT2
which is claimed to be up to 1.0A
The only problem with the oem cable is that it is too short.
If you're still looking for it search Droid Charge OEM charger on eBay.

Hey guys, I have a question regarding your Samsun GNex charging cable. I woke up this morning after plugging my phone in last night to find that it was at 20% battery and the cable was not being recognized. After I jiggle the charger, the phone occasionally and fleetingly recognizes the cable but quickly loses the contact. When I tried to charge the phone with a different cable (my Kindle Fire charger), it worked without any issue.
Has anyone experienced similar failures of their cable in this manner? It worked the night before without any issue but now it is giving me problems. The cable is not visibly damaged, and I am careful with my devices/accessories so I do not believe that the problem is from my carelessness.
Finally, I got this phone from the Verizon store, would I take the cable to them or to Samsung to get it replaced? I hesitate to go to VZW because I don't want them to see that my phone is rooted (in case they ask to plug it in in front of them).
Thanks!
Yes I have the same problem I don't know if its just that they (Samsung) shipped out the wrong charger cables or what but I Use my Brothers cord for his Droid 3 and it works flawlessly snug and all..

Yeah, it worked fine until today, so I don't know if it was because they sent the wrong cord. Oh well, I will get in touch with Samsung about it.
*******Update******************************
My original cable has not suddenly started working again. it now charges and transfers files which is good because my Chinese knockoff cable had a loose fit on my phone.

Same problem here. I bought my phone around Dec 21st and just 2 weeks ago the original cable refuses to charge the phone. It also didn't allow me to transfer files to my phone. I currently have 2 new cables. One cable is from www.monoprice.com and one is from www.cellphoneshop.net (China). Both of the "backup" cables work fine as well as one of them being 8 feet long. (makes it that much easier to plug in at the library sometimes.)
FYI - my original Droid Eris cable crapped out after about 4 months so it does not surprise me. What I would like is a good backup wallwart to use at my office. The phone charges so much faster with the ac adapter.
Solid USB cables are cheap (also recommend monoprice.com) so its not a huge deal, but wish they'd last longer.
Mine's still going strong at this point.
I'm still using my Blackberry cable.
I love monoprice, why spend 150 on HDMI when you can get it for 5. I got in touch with Samsung and after some discussion they had me send my old one in (they paid for shipping) and they will send a new one. I was a bit annoyed that I had to send the old one since it was a hassle, but oh well.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OSURT2/ref=oh_o05_s00_i00_details
and NEITHER one worked with my Gnex!! It wouldn't sync, charge or anything.
Is there ANY way to get a STOCK USB for the Gnex? (the one that came with the phone, http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SCH-I515MSAVZW-accessories last item on the 2nd page)
Also had problems with other micro USB chargers.....a lot seem to have some sork of short in theme.....lose power when I move the phone around....how hard is it to find a working cable? Anyone with similar issues?
I have various cheap eBay micro usb cables and OEM ones and they all work. Perhaps take a look at your gnex micro USB port? Maybe a piece of dust is in there. Or the contacts are screwed. Its probably more complicated than that, but it doesn't hurt to check. GL
I'm using USB cables I got for very cheap and they all worked so far...can you try the cables with another phone?
Hmm well I can try when I get home. My Droid 2 was the same way! only the stock USB would work and a few aftermarket micro USBs wouldnt work! And you guessed it, my Droid 2 USB worked fine with my GNex :S
I bought 2 of these cables and they work just fine:

They look like the one that comes with that charger, though. Very odd.
I have always had the best luck with the oem motorola micro usb cables. Well made and never a charging or pc connectivity issue and you can usually find them cheap on Amazon.
I have one cable that plugged into PC or into my AC jack gives me just AC, no data connection.
My other usb cable charges but no AC and gives data.
I bought this charger + cable combo.
They are the same models that come with the phone. They work flawlessly.
The kit was a little cheaper back then, but definitely beats having to order random cables till one of them works.

Ditto! works like a charm.
Most of my micro USB cables work, but this one that came with an LG Optimus One (and worked on my Nexus One, HTC Panache, Nook Color) does not register in my GNex. Not sure why - maybe something about the shape of the port or the depth.

Thats weird cuz a different cable came with mine! looks a lot nicer...
Bought mine from seller Yellow deals using the same links posted in this thread. The charger itself works, but the U4 micro USB cable does not for both charging and data transfer. Bummer.
My dad has an Optimus V and I have a Galaxy Nexus. His cord won't charge my Nexus and my cord won't charge his phone.
I wasn't sure why it was this way.
I've tried all kinds of LG chargers and LG usb cables, and none of them work.

I'm almost sure that you manage to damage your USB port, just like I did. It won't do anything but charge AC only through pc and nothing more, no matter what cable I use.
I'm just waiting for my replacement part arive from Hong Kong. 1,5 month already and no word of it. I guess it take that much time anyway.

That'd be tragic. I dont think thats the case because GNex #1, GNex #2 and Droid 2 all had the same issue (certain cords short out, stock ones do not) So I am leaning towards manufactures quality....Just ordered 2 different cheap ones from ebay....waiting....
Definitively a damaged port. I bought a port from Hong-Kong as well, and it took 6 weeks to ship!!
After replacing it the phone charges with all my cables though.

Bought 2 of these cables from monoprice:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=4868&seq=1&format=2
Tested them with both the OEM charger and the HTC T-Mobile myTouch 3G Car Charger and both give AC power.
Turns out NOT to be the port(or at least i dont think so) I got a cheap $1 one from Ebay and an AWESOME cable from Amazon!! Love it! check it out, looks like a rope xD http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003V42O6K/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
They both work great
The reason I ask is because I have multiple USB charging cords laying around the house, and I actually wanted to take 1 to work. And since at work I need a long cable, I brought to my job.
The problem is that the cable I brought to my job is not an official Samsung cord, and it would plug into the bottom port, but it wouldn't charge. So then I went to another cord and apparently that one won't even plug into the bottom. The ironic part is that all of these cords would plug into my old Samsung Epic 4g Touch and worked fine with it. But now I've come to presume that not all chords are the same.
My question is has anybody else encountered the same problem? Or do I have a faulty bottom port? Yes I know I'm probably sounding paranoid, but it would be nice to know if this is an isolated incident. Thanks everyone.

I've plugged it in to many different cables, all work just fine.
I have an HTC one that gave me problems (difficult to physically plug in; once it was in charging was fine with the Note 2 adapter). So yes, I have noticed that. I assumed it relates to the changes (?) Samsung made in the port to allow for other connectors like docking and MHL, etc. (at least I think I read something about that). That same HTC cord has worked with every other phone I've ever used, including the Note 1. But most of my cords have no issues with the Note 2, so I'm chalking it up to tight manufacturing tolerances as companies try to cram more stuff into a small port.
I have been using an htc one with my pc. Im surprised it even charges my phone at all since most car chargers wont and we all know that charging by pc is really slow. I mostly use it for transfering files though. Maybe you do have a faulty one? Another thing you ahve to realize is the orig charger is a 2 amp and most other ones are 1 amp.
--------------- GNote II (AT&T) USB Defect !---------- Yes This Is QUITE a Problem !!
USB defect / ATT GN II.
Seems to be quite a few shipped GNOTE II / AT&T have a HUGE problem with the USB ports..
Loose USB jacks ports ...Cable not fitting in properly...EXTREMELY loose, wobbly.
Cable falls out literally with ease...I have already shorted out my device from an instable jack/cable.!
Device is being replaced already via ATT , has to be ordered via wherehouse drop shipment for as all stores surrounding me (East Coast / Sold Out)
Store reported (3) device returns for loose USB cables. if you have this problem, under no circumstances do you allow AT&T to give you USB replacement cables,
return it for a new device. Reason being is any unstable power connects are probably killing your board in the background completely unknown to most.
What might not show now will definitely show later.
LOOSE USB power cord are for sure signs of future trouble to come. Luckily my ATT store was familiar with the situation prior from me coming in and gratefully assisted.
Samsung is aware of this problem, not sure how this is going to be addressed.
Please post here if you have experienced any problems with your USB cord/phone connection.
As of this very moment, Unfortunately I am phone-less.

I had problems from the minute I left the store after first buying my Note 2 - I notied that even though connected in my car, it didn't say charging - I figured at first maybe I needed to change a setting or something.
I got home - and while trying to root the damn thing - It kept connecting then unconneting from my computer - I couldn't transfer files or anything.
I drove back to ATT immedialy and they gave me a new phone - I have not had a problem since.
One other strange thing- When I first started using that FIRST Note 2 I bought, I when ever I tried to use the keyboard - all I got was a dialer key pad with the letters below the numbers - I looked and I had a samsung keyboard installed - but it only turned on when I wrote emails - if I tried to write a text I got the old fashioned keyboard - I nearly went mad - how can you put a keyboard like that on a phone like this?
Anyway - I didn't even mention that when I returned the phone with the USB Problems and I have not seen that old fashioned keyboard on my new phone since.
I guess it is the price I pay for being an early adopter - I always like having the latest and greatest - It is in my addictive nature - In any event, my new NOTE 2 has been flawless - knock on wood - and I couldn't be happier.
i have a gray one and the usb port is fine here.
I have the same issue & Im going to get it replaced for a White one but will cost me $35 restocking fee since I'm exchaning my grey for a white.
I have a grey one and it seems to be fine. So I could test this if I plug it in and jiggle the power cord?

I have the i317M (Rogers Canada) version and I had an issue with my micro USB port. The issue I was having was that the phone was not charging properly. Some times it would charge and other times it would not charge. I took it back to the Best Buy Mobile store I got it from and they gave me a new one. I didn't experience any of the "loose" issues some of you have experienced though. Cable fitted tightly.
I basically tried everything to prove that it was not anything I was doing - swapped cables, chargers (used the one I have for my Nexus 7), device reset etc. and the symptoms would not go away. When I took it to back to the (1 week after I got it), as soon as the guy there plugged into a charger, it would not charge and that was it. No arguments from them, they had a white one in stock (I had a gray one originally) and he offered it to me if I didn't care about the color. I got it and so far no issues yet. It charges properly now with different cables (but only using the OEM charger so far) and the cable is not loose at all.
I think that this will always be a problem for microUSB ports the tip is too long and thin. thats one thing about the iphone that was much better. the connector should be wide and short so there is nothing to bend off when strain is put on the connection.
my note 2 is working fine, for now, but I had (and am having again now) the same problem with my note 1. around a month after I got the note it wouldnt charge well, then eventually, not at all. I had gotten the phone wet and didnt think i would be able to return on warranty so I bought another note at full price and swapped the microUSB ports and returned the new one. I have been extremely careful with it since then rarley using it to charge. I bought two extra batteries and a battery charger and only used the port for data transfer. well, I put the new port in around may and that one is beginning to stop working.
I just ordered a spare battery and battery charger I recommend doing the same. its actually much more convienient anyway to not have to have your phone plugged in all the time.

I have the grey and no problems thus far with the usb port..crossing my fingers !!
My USB port is just a tad loose compared to my other devices including my original AT&T Note but it's not falling out or randomly not charging... I can hold it upside down with the stock cable without the phone falling. I use some Monoprice USB cables that fit much tighter than the stock cable anyway...
Grey note II btw.
I noticed some chargers not fitting correctly... and when I lay it down its fine... if I pick it up I hear the charging and not charging tones change. Could be the charger tho as it's not the Samsung cord. I have a blackberry cord that fits perfect and stays however.
