[Q] Can't charge with other microUSB cables?

Hey All
Just got my VZW Galaxy Nexus and am loving it. When I first connected the phone to the computer, I used my old HTC Incredible microUSB cable to connect. I realized this was silly, as I hadn't installed the drivers yet. So I pulled the cable and installed the drivers. Upon reconnecting, I couldn't get anything to register. No charging, no data... I tried uninstalling the drivers, restarting both the computer and the phone and still nothing. The phone would no longer register that it was even being plugged in. I grabbed the cable it came with and it worked fine. That is the only cable that will actually charge the phone. I can plug it into any USB charger, and as long as i use that cable, the phone will charge. Additionally, it is the only cable that I can use to connect the phone to the computer. I tried other old cables, but none work. All chargers and computers work with that nexus cable, but none of the other cables work. Any thoughts on this? Is this an amperage issue through the cable? Why would data connection no longer work and why did it work the first time?
Thanks for your thoughts!

I've had a similar experience, tried the charger from my droid OG, and it didn't work. Plugged in the old droid, still charges, new cable charges fine though. Weird, huh?

Having the exact same issues and getting worried...This morning I plugged in and it said charging. Now, even using samsung plug it doesn't say "Charging". The cord appears to be charging but the OS doesn't say so.

At home I use the AC charger that came with my Nokia N97 mini: no probs. At work I charge with a cheap brandless USB cable plugged into my laptop: no probs.

Ok, I guess I'm going hunting for a working cable. My friends Orig. Droid cable works so I might trade out with him...might not mean anything, but the cables that work have slits cut in the forward facing part of the microUSB, and the ones that will not charge do not. This may be an issue of my available sample, but perhaps there is something else going on here? Just jabbing in the dark here...

I'm now using my Nokia CA-101D MicroUSB cable (with an extender, because the single cable is long only 10 cm) with my PC and it works perfectly.
The original Samsung cable that come in the box is always into che AC USB adapter, to recharge de GNEX on night.

Interesting. I had an old Motorola Charger (one piece unit, not separate charger and USB cable) that would't charge my Galaxy Nexus. However, I have used a Kindle 3G charger and Blackberry charger that have both charged it without a problem. I figured that for chargers that separate the cable and AC adapater it would be the problem with the adapter and not the actual cable but I could be wrong.
I did read on another forum that newer devices with bigger screens like the Nexus can't take a charge from older chargers because of the makeup and power use of the newer devices.

I was thinking some companies switch the pin-outs of their cables/ports so you can't buy a normal cable and have it work....I could be totally off base though.

Mine works on 4 different cables on two different boxes. Haven't even opened the one that came with it yet.

You guys not working are you with a Verizon Galaxy Nexus?

Oddly enough, I've used my old Incredible cable (perhaps it was my Thunderbolt one, though) with no problems. I'm on the Verizon Nexus if that makes a difference.

Using OG Droid usb for data transfer and an old LG usb to charge overnite. No problems. I haven't even unpacked the nexus one yet.

there are no special cables.. they all have the same pin out, the only reason why some work and others dont in cars, is based on the actual charger itself.
if you have a cig charger with a usb female port, you have to rig it to work, the middle 2 pins are shorted out with foil/tape and it'll work
if you have a full cigarette with cable unit, nothing you can do about those, they either work or not (mid 2 are shorted on build/factory)
i use any old 1A-1.5A usb cig charger, then short the 2 middle pins using ANY cable (i am using bb cable) and it works fine.. even did it with several cables and chargers for friends so we didnt have to spend no stinkin $10-15 bucks for a charger
all this bs is really a way to control the market of accessories, making you buy new ones that are shorted out sine the old ones arent and wont charge

I went on eBay and bought a spare set of 5V 1A home and car plugs, those seem to work great.

Longer USB cable

I was wondering if anyone has bought a longer USB cable, the one that came with the AT&T Ion is too short and the phone has to be on the floor while charging.
A cable might seem like something so basic that any cable with the right connectors should work, but apparently not. The Kindle has the same type of port and the Ion and yet the Kindle cable doesn't charge the ion (when used with the Ion power adapter, of course). So if you've found a long USB cable that works, please post it here.

I think I saw one in a Japanese store the other day that was circum $5 for a 6 ft cable, and I'm gonna go buy it tomorrow. I'll report back if it works or not.

Used Ion Power plug - 6' HTC Micro USB cable worked well.

I had a longer cable from my Xperia X10, so fortunately that worked out for me. I have succesfully used Blackberry, Samsung, and generic cables though. You can get a Sony Ericsson cable for about $6 on Amazon too.

I don't think any cable will work. Just to be sure, I tried the Kindle cable with the Ion adapter again, and it also didn't work. That cable connects to the computer fine, and the charge seemed stable, but when used with the wall plug it wasn't charging steadily although the LED light on the phone was on all the time.

The problem with some micro-usb cable like the one I bought from Wal-Mart is that they do not have an extra line that allows for data connections to computers and that extra power is what keeps the phone charging stable.

I use this 6' cable from AmazonBasics

Works great for data or charge. I travel with it VERY frequently and I abuse it. Used it for just under a year with my x10 and the phone-end started getting loose. Amazon replaced it free and my new one has been going strong for almost a year. I'm honestly surprised they last as long as they do the abuse I put them through

I got a mediabridge 6 ft cable from Amazon, it wasn't as cheap as some of the others posted here (I ordered before that post). Tried it during the weekend and it worked perfectly, so something must be missing from the Kindle cable.

I just recently went to Kyoto, and accidentally left my charger in the hotel (usual pretty careful, but eh). So I just went to the nearest tech shop and bought a nice 1.5 meter cable, and it's so much nicer. Kinda makes me glad I left the damn charger.

Also, anybody know if the ION will support an OTG cable?
from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Its been touched on, but just in case. The Ion uses a micro USB connection, that is the socket on the phone itself. There are lots of connections that look like micro USB, but aren't...obviously those won't work, as they don't fit. So when buying a longer cable, make sure its Micro USB (not Mini USB, by they way...that too is different)
Also, as mentioned, some older cables..especially those that came with some older cell phones, would be power only...no data transfer ability (AT&T loved including these with older Samsung phones, as they wanted you to buy a $30 data cable before leaving the store). They'll charge the phone from a wall or a computer, but with hit or miss results..some will confuse the phone, as it doesn't know what type of connection it has, others will charge very slow, etc. there is no reason anymore to buy a power only cable, especially considering all these cables are cheap. I lucked out, my logitech mouse came with a 6 foot micro USB data cable for adjusting its button configuration and charging...so i just use that with the wall mount, works great.

I ordered a bunch of USB extension cables from eBay, my cable is like 14 feet long now lol they are cheap

Micro USB replacement cable

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good replacement micro USB cables. Mine has started to act funky and only charges correctly at a certain angle.
I know there are several cheap cables out there on Amazon and eBay but I was looking for something reliable such that if I flash through Odin or some type of future Bootloaders I do not wanna risk bricking my phone because of a bad cable.
Can anyone suggest or link me to official and not knockoff Samsung cables or some other alternative that works well. If not can on suggest a reliable Brand that I can search for.
Thanks.

Belkin make very good cables indeed. I have several; give them a shot. They're not overpriced, either.

I would stay away from the cheap ebay ones (as you said) - they don't seem to work correctly, never seem to charge/connect to my S3 properly.

my favorite cable and charger is the Amazon Kindle charger and cable. Especially the cable. I have a few of them and buy more as funds allow.

I've bought about 5 of these and they work perfect. They are very similar to the stock one from the S2. Shipping is free and was pretty fast.

I hate that Samsung Galaxy S cable. It comes off way too easy.
My favorite one is Logitech cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Lo...556?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item336a98f674 . I have few because they come with the devices. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with HTC OEM cable. Only $1 on ebay and it works great.

This is the type of cables that I use. I bought 8 of them last year, and I have put them in my car, my wifes car, my daughters car (with cheap USB chargers of course). I put chargers on a couple of my motorcycles using them. I have a pair of bluetooth intercoms for my helmets that need micro-USB chargers for them both. I had to buy another bag of 8. I've given a couple of them away. So I have about a dozen charge connections, and only about $25.
There is no reason to pay more the $2 each for these cables. The USB works on them. They charge over USB. They charge at the high charge rate. They work correctly and they are reliable. And if one of them DOES ever fail, I won't feel bad.

Stay away from the 89c cables from Hong Kong, they are horrible quality and don't conform to USB wiring standards. I had a bad experience the other day when I tried to plug the emergency cable I keep in my bag into my S3, wouldn't go in, I thought I'd somehow bent the charging port on my S3 but really it was just the ****ty cable.

Both ports connect perfectly to cell phone and computer. - The length of the cable is the right size (90 cm), not too long and not too short. - I have been using it for some weeks and it works fine for both transferring data and recharging my phone.http://dx.com/p/usb-charging-data-cable-for-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-90cm-length-59092

Although monoprice are quality the cable's micro usb side(metal part) isn't as long as the Samsung cable and they don't tend to stay in as well. But it's not that bad but noticeable. I love monoprice besides shipping costs

[Q] Specific USB cables for S4?

Hello guys,
The reason I ask this question is because when I was trying to root my phone I was using a micro usb cable that I bought off of newegg and it only charged my phone.. I had to switch to the usb cable that came with the phone to actually let windows detect my phone.

The cable you bought was most likely a pin-shorted one that enables "fast charging". Any standard USB cable will work with the device. If you want a spare, get a BlackBerry OEM cable. For some reason, they're quite high-quality.
e: My old one's quite worn out. Just bought a new one.

But the weird thing is the cable works for my LG G2X. It doesn't work for my S4.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/6ft-Samsung.../140944620745?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:US:3160
I ordered that cable and it came today... Plugged it in to my phone and it didn't detect it. It only charges.
Any of you other guys have that problem? I'm going to try the blackberry one that k0nane suggested.

I tried a blackberry cable at work and it didn't detect my phone. Went to my car and got my Nexus 7 cable and it worked fine for detecting phone + rooting. My HTC and 5 foot long generic cable has worked fine.
Connect directly to computer if you are currently connecting through a hub?

Yeah I've tried connecting through the back of the computer and it's a no go. Anyone else have any ideas? I just bought the blackberry cable and I hope it works.

I got my BB cable today, and while I can confirm that it works normally, it's a disappointment. Certainly nothing like the cables of old. If you need a cheap one, you're probably still better off with it, but the legend it ain't.

This morning I woke up and the microsd cable was broken, I guess in my sleep I bent it and it won't charge any more..(just the cable part) from the charger. Is there a place online to buy the oem original asus cable or something compatible? Something that will charge as fast as the original one.

Pretty much any micro usb cable from a reputable manufacturer will work (its the chargers where you get the differences). I've used my S3 cable, an old Motorola cable, and a monoprice (generic) cable for charging it and other devices with no problems.

Some generic cable don't work very well. I've had charging problems. You can get the Motorola cable pretty cheap on amazon.

Mine stopped working after about 3 weeks. The cable was never bent or even removed from the wall adapter either! It's very possible that you didn't bend the cable in your sleep, and instead the cable just stopped working like mine did. Since then, I've just been using one of my many HTC cables plugged in to the Asus wall adapter that came with my N7 FHD. It works perfectly!

This is true! I think the post you quoted would have been better stated by saying that any cable FROM A REPUTABLE MANUFACTURER should work just fine. Not just ANY cable because, unfortunately, there are many 3rd party cables that are just junk. If you have a cable from your current or previous phone, and it's a phone manufactured by a reputable company, then it should work without a problem.

Fixed my post I've never bought a no name cable but I can imagine if they're cheaply/poorly built they'll have terrible impedance and charge too slow.
Also note that really long cables will charge slower (unless they use lower guage wire)

For Monoprice, avoid the 24AWG ferrite bead ones (the ones that go for about $1 for a 3-foot one). While they seem like quality cables at first, I've had 4 and 3 of them have gotten flaky over time (the D+/D- ones broke on one of them so it doesn't talk to a computer anymore, and the other two often lose connection when moved around).

I have a bunch of different standard cables from eBay (different lengths), even the colorful ones. All work without problems. It's a digital cable ( 2 data and 2 power lines). if it's not broken or shorted any cable should work. Of course if you approach the maximum length (5m -15 ft) of usb and the cable is not up to the specs it may start failing but for 1-3 m should not have problems with any cable. If we speak about the power adapter (not cable) it's another story. There are many variants and not all provide the specified power, but if the specs are correct the 2A and 3A ones should work. Car adapters , an even more different story. I'm not using my Nexus 7-2 in car (have a build in Android navi now), but I used the first gen Nexus 7, and I tried 3 different adapters until I found one which provided enough power to charge the tablet with GPS and navi on (most will let the tablet slowly discharge). I think this model require less power so maybe even some which did not work will work now.

I haven't actually been able to test the time it takes to fully charge since I usually charge it overnight but I'll try to run some tests and time how long it takes with the different cables and I'll post my findings. From what I've seen so far from using it, I haven't noticed any difference with charge time between the stock cable and the monoprice one With my experience using it to charge my droid razr (xt912) definitely no difference with charge time compared to the stock motorola usb cable. I'm sure with the n7 it's totally fine.
