Hi guys,
Dog chewed the cable and so far I've tried a replacement cable from poundland, Asda (Polaroid) and both slow charge.
Does anyone know of a decent USB cable I can get from a shop that will charge like the official cable.

I bought this one from Amazon and it seems to charge the same as the original cable.

Hey guys, first time poster!
My Galaxy Nexus is on the way and I'm looking to get a second micro usb cable, one that I can take to work and charge from the USB port on my work computer.
Will any old cable work for the Galaxy nexus? Is there any half decent ones going around?
Any micro usb cable will work just fine.

This is a pretty good one as it is quite flexible and not too short:
5 Feet USB A to Micro USB M/M Data Cable for Cell Phones, Charge Cell Phone on PC and Transfer Data
And if you use MrRebates.com, you get 3% cash-back and $5 or so just for signing up.
I find the USB cable that comes with the device too stiff and too short.
Just wondering where you can but and how much for our micro usb charge cable and the wall plug?
Looking to at, least get another cable but want same exact OEM as what came in the box with our phones.
Any help is appreciated.

Last night my cat decided to chew through my HTC usb cable, so i need to get another one.
I've read somewhere that HTC cables have certain pins shorted out that enable faster charging (than regular micro usb cables).
Is there a particular feature i need to look out for when buying a replacement micro usb cable, or is the safe bet to get a genuine HTC one?
Thanks in advance

If I rember well the Samsung cables are shorted, not HTC.
I would go for Samsung or HTC cables, they work at least... had one from my Toucpad, broken, hama, broken, noname, broken, samsung (from nexus) working, one X, working
It's actually the charger that has the pins shorted to enable fast charge. If it was the cable then the cable would only work as a power cable (no data/sync). Just get any decently well made micro USB cable and use the official charger and you will still have fast charge capability. I've used a couple random micro USB cables I happened to have lying around and they all allow fast charge when I use the HTC charger, and none of them allowed fast charge on my other USB/AC adapters (except my iPhone 4's adapter). I went on eBay and found a couple of cables that do have the pins in them shorted and they fast charge on all of my power adapters. They theoretically shouldn't be usable for syncing since the data pins should be shorted however - and I don't want to test it because then the phone would start trying to pull >500mA out of my computer's USB port, which it may not be able to handle. And I don't like fried motherboards.

These are really good quality, generous length, plug fits like the original and they "AC" charge from the HTC adapter.

What your one x charger cable is, is a micro USB to USB cable. That's all you need, I use my fathers from his Samsung galaxy s and it works fine. You can use any micro USB to USB cable, I saw one just yesterday and a store for 3 dollars, they're quite cheap

Hi, as you might already know that the in box charging cable is pretty short in length, so I need an alternative, a lengthier cable. I was wondering if I buy one of those cheap MicroUSB to USB cable and connect it with the charger would that harm my device? What you guys say?
Thanks in advance.

Yes - I use my kindle cable with an HTC charger and that works fine
Of own experience and I say no. Mine old usb cable that worked fine with Note 1, didnt worked with Note 2, when I plugged it in mine computer and it didnt recognized the phone. Why do Samsung have to copy everyhting Apple do? They changed the Lightning cable and Samsung changed god damn theirs microusb.

That's not a cheap cable by any means!

I've used el cheapo USB cables off of eBay with all my Android phones and have never had problems. A few cables have been dead on arrival but they're so cheap, I usually buy like 5 at a time anyways.
Of course, if you want to be absolutely super sure that the cable won't do any damage, you should buy official cables. But I see that as insanity, I'm not paying 19,90€ for a cable that I can get for €0,99 minus the Samsung logo. I just will not do that.
Hey Guys, wondering if there has been some update that has rendered charging from usb to micro usb useless? I have been pulling my hair out. I thought all my micro usb cables had gone bad, but then I noticed the HTC charges with no issues when I test with the same cables. I notice the Note 2 will now only charge with a brick type adapter. I use the HTC power adapter charger to use on the Note and it charges fine. My Note 2 is international and is rooted.
Can any of you guess what might be going on?

Nevermind.
I found it it was the usb ports on the surge protector that has gone bad.
