USB cable issues (keeping connectivity) - One (M7) Accessories

Hi all..
this is a general question really about the issue with Micro USB cables and the connector's ability to stay connected.
I know it isn't my phone as when i buy a fresh cable it clicks in nicely.
Does anyone recommend a decent cable where the connector stays connected after more than a few weeks of use?
I've obviously used Stock HTC, but also PortaPow (power only), Blackberry cables, Nokia Cables, Samsung with varying success.
Thanks

Regular (but more reliable) USB cable

Hi,
I'm looking for regular USB synchronization cable for Artemis. My Artemis was defective and HTC have replaced it, but now I have problems with connection Artemic <-> PC. It looks like cable disconnects from time to time (sometimes when I touch it).
Do you know where to buy more reliable cable? I think my original, shipped with device is connected to loose. Maybe plugs in cables made by other brands are made more solid.
Thanks in advance.
Any usb to mini-usb cable will do, just choose a more reliable looking one at your local pc store
I'm not sure if any mini-USB cable will charge and synchronize data. I saw cables only charging some PDAs (without data transfer), but charging and synchronizing other PDAs in some Internet shop.
Thanks anyway.
My standard USB to miniUSB cable does a perfectly good job of charging and syncing my Orbit.
Thanks,
I bought mini-USB too and it works without any problems (better then cable shipped with Artemis).

[Q] USB Port not working

I have an E4GT and my USB port is being fickle. It doesn't connect unless I hold the cable in a strange upward tilt position.
In order to rule out any software cause for this, I ODIN'd back to stock but that didn't change anything. I tried all sorts of different USB cables (stock cable, monoprice cable, HTC cable) but no dice.
Anyone have this problem? is the USB port portion soldered on the motherboard or can it be replaced easily?

[Q] No USB Cables Will Charge My Galaxy S3 Help!!

I’m having a problem charging my AT&T Galaxy S3 rooted. No USB cables work to charge my phone. Whether it be the one it came with in the box or one from wall mart. I’ve also tried all the USB cables, HTC, Samsung, and others. Also tried the USB mini Best Buy sells for these phones.
Before I had this problem USB cables would work just fine but all the sudden they stopped working.
The only way I can get any USB cables to work is if I hold it at an angle and itll charge and stop randomly but charges very slow if held at an angle.
Only way I can get my phone to charge is if I use a wall charger. I have tried all the USB cables with my car, lap tops, and usb to wall adapters.
HELP PLEASE!

That's a hardware problem.. not much we can do about it. You most likely damaged your USB port and will need to replace it.
You can contact mobiletechvideos.com for their services if you don't know how to replace it yourself.

[Q] Is the HTC USB cable special or something?

Since I do not have the original one for this phone I tried my Nexus 7's USB cable and its rather loose, I don't think I can flash a ROM with it due to the chance that it comes off during flash(which it does from slight movement when connected as MTP; its not coming off per se, but it does get disconnected).
But why does it? MicroUSB should be identical, or is the DHD USB port broken?
All microUSb cable are the same.
You can try to clean usb port.
You can find plenty help page on internet with: how to clean microUSB.
It doesn't matter for witch phone. All are the same.

Which USB cable should I get?

Hi there,
So my original OnePlus data/charging cable is damaged and I have to put it in a certain position to get it to charge my phone. I had a spare but my friend has left it at his parents house and I don't think I'm going to get it back. I've been using the short charge cable that came with my OnePlus power bank to charge my phone.
I tried some old micro USB cables that I had lying around from older devices. They work for charging but they don't seem to let me connect my phone to my PC.
I also do not like the style of USB head that OnePlus put on their official cables, the plastic tab with the contact points does not sit firmly in the USB ports on my computer.
I want to get a couple of replacement USB cables for charging and data transfer but I don't know which cables would work with my OnePlus One. I would like to avoid an official OnePlus Micro USB cable as the USB connector is too loose.
Can anyone suggest a cable for me to get? I would like it to be able to charge at full speed and also work with USB file transfers and have a normal USB head on the cable so it sits firmly in the port.
I just don't want to order a wire and find out it doesn't work with the phone. I seem to remember my phone has always been picky with USB cables and I do have some driver issues that may be caused by the wire type.
Thanks,

Using 1+'s original cable is always the best get.

Actually, yes. I've had my One for more than 2 years now and changed the cable as well. There are actually 2 cables I can recommend as of now - from Nillkin and from Aukey. Both are sturdy, solid, fast and just do their job as good as they should. Aukey, however, is much better in one aspect: it's longer. 2m vs 1.2m. Aaaaand it still charges with full 2.1A current, which, in my opinion, is pretty awesome. Both of them are also pretty cheap - you can buy them for ~ 5$ - just search for them on Aliexpress
I had good experiences with Sharkoon and LogiLink cables.
I've got the 5 pack from Anker and it's doing well. On a test it had good performance and was very cheap on Amazon.
Item model number: AK-B7103011
ASIN: B00Q88RI0S
You should get USB cable with Micro USB
Thanks for the replies, I guess my main concern was getting a USB cable that works for data transfer. I ended up ordering a triple pack of Aukey USB's. 2 x 1m and 1 x 2m cables. The description said that they work with 2.1a chargers and USB 2.0 data transfer which is what I need.
Thank you for the suggestions !
Can you please share the link of the purchase

Here you go, that's the exact pack I bought.
Is this as good as the original cable for charging & data transfer
You can try BlitzWolf reversible micro usb cable. It's able to charge with full 2A current and most funny, it's really reversible, so it does not matter which side you connect to your phone (unlike normal micro usb connector).

Yeah, it charges quickly, and data transfer works great. I haven't benchmarked it or anything but its doing its job, and the 2m cable is great! It still charges quickly despite being longer. The micro USB head has a satisfyingly click when plugged in and the USB head is normal and works well.
