Hi All,
I have broke my original usb cable and looking for one in white color as my handset and charger both are white. I have checked ebay, only cable is like €13 and charger plus cable is €13.50. Cant understand why only cable is like that expensive. I remember previously I managed to find it in less than €5. But now seems to be double in price.
Guys any idea or link where can I buy cheapest in Germany or from web.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks & Regards,
Uppal
Are you talking about Micro USB to standard USB as in a cable that fits in a mains plug to phone?
Yes Exactly.

Grab it from eBay if you must have a white one, otherwise try an electronics store or computer shop. That's where i got my 1.5M cable from, it's really nice to be able to charge and lay in bed at the same time
Precisely! I got mine from e-bay, and it's even retractable...

I try to get a case when I brought the wildfire,but they said it's not existing.
so I ordered from a shop one week ago.
most of shops said it will arrived at this friday.
I ordered a case, but is comes as a 3 in 1 pack, case ,screen protector,and a cleaner.
also, I got 3 mini usb to micro usb converter. because most of my charger and cable is mini usb. and I don't keep a lot of new micro usb cables. just a converter is OK.
and a auto 12v charger, my old one is dead. this time I pick a conpact design,and support 1A quick charge.
totally around ￥130 = 130/6.8=$20
the case is tight, fit very well.
only one small problem, the power key at the top, you need to press it harder than before. sometimes troble me when using one hand operate.
I forgot the most important thing I brought today,
Mr.Android!
Go on then give us a clue as to where you bought them

it's on a local web shop, like ebay, but mostly cover domestic because of language.
may be you can try it on ebay.
there sould be some Hongkong dealer's support international delivery.
I can only help you with the price for reference.
I have the superbly gorgeous RED version of the Wildfire - any chance that case exists in Red? If yes, any chance you could help a fellow out and buy me a set - I'll paypal you the cost + some extra for the bother..?
While I'm waiting for my Wildfire to be unlocked (thank you 3!!) ebay has taken a bit of a hammering!
6 screen protectors £1.95
Extra sync lead £2.84
Car charger £2.25
Oh and a Wildfire specific car mount (not ebay) from USA $11.09
I might order a couple of those mini-micro adaptors as they could come in handy

Well the red one might possibly - maybe - probably not tho..do...
As the color of my wildfire is a way more delicate red I'd like to find something more colortrue to the actual phone...
as for the bling version. lol. if i were a 12-yo girl maybe - in this life - never! - But thanks a lot for trying

it would cause poor contact if the quality no good.

The junk usb cables from ebay doesn't provide much power for charging..
Trust me I've been through this and did alot of testing couple years back. None of the ebay usb cables managed to provide more than 200mA on my old phone and couldn't power on any of my usb hdds. Only the official ones from htc and those that comes with a usb hdd are quality.
If you're only planning to transfer data around then I guess it doesn't matter.

Very true. I ordered a 2m cable from eBay a few years back and plugged in to an OEM HTC wall charger. My device - HTC Desire would take more than 10 hours to charge (that's without using the device whilst charging).
It seems to be difficult to differentiate between good and bad *long* [charging] cables. I am now thinking of going for a branded one such as Lindy to see if that is better, alternatively perhaps a 'fixed cable' AC wall charger.
Noticed that my 3m long usb cable from ebay takes longer to charge the phone than the official htc usb cable so you guys are right.....

What about this belkin one 1.8m long.... £4.28 and expansys which is an actual retailer:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Belkin-Pro-Series-USB-USB-micro-B-6-feet-1-8M-/190671072901
Try a decent quality cable from somebody like Cables2Go or (like above) Belkin, much better quality and can carry much more current

I'm sure there are many different cables sold on ebay...
But yes, long USB cables tend to have a lot of resistance. Actually, they're generally not even very good for data transfer...
That said, a quality USB cable should be fine. In any event, it's not like some devices which actually have modified cables for charging.
I have ordered the above belkin one for myself, will see how well it works and report back once I get it.
I use the USB cable from my old Nokia phone. Works pretty well. I guess name branded cables are better than generic ones.

It's not HTC, just the usual cheap rubbish.
What to look out for to order a quality USB cable?
Got my 2m belkin cable yesterday, trying it out now and definitely faster charging than my no named 3m cable. What is the best way to test it?
Will time it tomorrow when it requires another charge.

Yeah is there an app that measure the current coming out of charger?
In the mean time I would just charge with the original HTC cable for a set period if time and then the same for the Belkin one.
Yeh was going to do it that way but makes it 2 days before results or 3 using the cheapo 3m cable too....

I don't quite understand what you mean by the above- what makes it 2 days and what results?
Charge the device for say 30 minutes with the Belkin cable and then the same for original cable. See which does it quicker/charges more out of the two.

For that you can't use an app, you need a multimeter.

Surely its possible to know how much current is drawn from charger via the device itself? Current Widget claims to do it.
Recently I lost my USB cable that was delivered with my GTI5800. Now I have to use a spare of my family but when they need it, I can't.
So I was searching for a place to buy a new stock USB, but can't really find it.
Can someone link me to a store that sells it, or does someone have a spare stock USB cable left?

You can from a Samsung shop or an electronics shop that sells mobiles too
If I am not mistaken, the blackberry USB cables are identical to ours
Also, if you are Indian, you can buy such cables on the roads in any street

G3 uses a micro usb cable. One of the most easiest available wires in the world after Ethernet cable. I have seen BB cables and they seem to be abit thinker than ours, but that shouldn't make any difference.
However if you want the orignal one, here's the link to Sammy's official website -
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/APCBU10BBEBSTD
You can purchase it from there for only $19.99

If you happen to own a kindle with worn out cable give Amazon a call and they will give you discount on it.

I had this problem took mine back to att gave me a new cord and ordered me a new battery dont know why but hey...got a spare...
Guys this is just s standard urn cable with a micro usb end. I actually have a thick BlackBerry cable plugged into the wall plug that came with my phone and everything is good.
Although I do remember the skyrocket, where people had to be really specific on what they used to charge their phones because if they didn't they would actually have a charging wake lock, but this doesn't seem to be the case on this phone!

That's hardly any help, do you not think he did that already?
To the OP, I can't recommend any specific cable to you, but I do have some experience with some of those "OEM chargers" that are often advertised on Amazon. I ordered 2 of them off amazon, and both of them were not actually OEM chargers and they both barely worked. One didn't even charge my phone (emailed the seller and got a refund, but it's the principle), and the other one had a faulty tip that didn't sit tight in my phone. The only thing I can suggest is being careful, sorry I can't link you a cable. Hope you find one.

I have bought many cables from digitalkynectonline on Ebay. The cables have held up very good. I have bought 6ft and 10ft cables and they are reasonably priced. The ends are molded unlike some of the cheap cables you get on ebay.The cord is heavier than than alot to and seems to take alot of abuse. The ends seem to fit in the phone nice and tight.
I have putchased the cheap ones off of amazon. Only use prime. Most work for several months. Expensive ones seem to work as well as the cheap ones. If I get one that does not work I ship it back at no cost. For $2 or $3 dollars a cable it is worth it.

I don't like buying cables chargers or batteries on amazon eBay or other similar sites. I've been burned a few times. Rather then taking my chances, I order from reputable company's only.

I know this might seem out of left field, but Motorola's MicroUSB cables have always been incredibly reliable for me. They're made tough and any deep operations I may do (S-OFF, adb sideloading, etc) work flawlessly with them. They're not the perfect price like at monoprice.com but if you don't care about price and just want quality, Moto ain't too shabby.
