Does anyone know where I can get properly working 6ft micro usb cables that actually charge the phone?
I bought one off ebay and it was completly junk, my phone would drain faster than it would charge.
Something under $10 would be ideal.
Thanks

Amazon, purchase the mediabridge brand. About 6 bucks if I remember right.

Might also consider MonoPrice.com for your cables. They are cheap and supposed to be as reliable as any big brand.
Personally, I get the Amazon Basic cables, but so far I've only needed a maximum 3' cable.

Kindle charger
I use a 6ft white kindle charger and it works as well as OEM. If I recall correctly, it was only ~$10, I purchased it on Ebay.
@Amazon bought Samsung branded ones for $2.50 a pop. I've been buying and using these for years and have not had an issue yet.

I bought a 3m, 9ft usb cable off ebay and works fine.
AmazonBasics USB Cable 2.0 A-Male to B-Micro 6 Feet / 1.8 m
Been using it for a month now. Charges the phone perfectly
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.
Try out PortaPow
I got this for my road trip and found it extremely effective in providing AC power when a normal cable (the one that came with my HTC) did USB charging.
This allowed me to charge while streaming music and navigation and kept the phone fully charged my whole road trip. It works in any computer or USB port to allow AC charging for your phone

I bought a few of those and they started having bad connections after a few weeks. The premium ones have a much better connector and seem more durable

Another vote for Mediabridge. Very inexpensive, very well constructed, and they stand by their products. Had one go bad and they replaced it very quickly. Great people to deal with.
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.
I use a genuine BB cable from a 9900 Bold and it shows charging at AC rate, not USB.

Thanks !!!!!
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!

Haha I was scrolling down to see if anyone would mention monoprice and you beat me to it. But yes try monoprice. Just ordered their premium micro-b USB cables which is the type you're looking for and just received them yesterday. Very happy with my order. Can get what you're looking for for less than $1.50 and no shipping.

Buy the amazonbasics one. Cheap, good quality, gold plated, nice thick feel to it and very long!

This one is the 3ft cable but they also have 3ft and 6ft premium cables in black and white. If you go back a page to the full listing of USB cables scroll down to the section USB 2.0 Cables - Micro-B Type and you'll see all the different cables you're looking for. The first 4 are the premium cables. I got both 3 and 6 ft cables and no problems with charging times.

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 did two tests both using the Asus power adapter that came with the device and these are the specs for it from the Asus website:
Output:5.2V 1.35A/7W for other USB device
Input:100-240V AC, 50/60Hz universal
I attached two pictures using battery monitor widget. Just adding in too my n7 is unlocked and rooted but completely stock other than that. The first picture is with the Asus USB cable that came with the device and the second picture is with my 6ft premium cable from monoprice. Sorry if this isn't what you were asking for.

yeah was looking for the mA delivered to device...have you noticed any difference in how long it takes to fully charge the n7? I know there's tons of cables just looking for one with comparable performance to stock one.

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.
Bought a pre-owned N7 today but it's missing the official usb charging cable. Don't suppose there's a cheap solution? The Asus shop only sells the cable and adapter together and it's rather pricey here in Ireland.
I know there are cheap non official cables you can get but I'm not sure whether they will just cause more problems.
Help! Thank you!
Don't you have any micro USB cables lying around? Any of them should work perfectly.

i am going to tell you right now that that suggestion is not good. A while back, i bought 4 OEM LG cables to charge my devices, including my nexus. The cables charge all of my devices other than the Nexus. below this is a link that i posted on amazon to some cables that i have indeed bought and can confirm work with no issues with the nexus 2013 revision.

best of luck
All cables are NOT the same.
From one to the other you can go from .48 amps to 1.1 amps depending. I've seen some output zero on one devise and .44 on another. Get yourself a little monitor to test those cables. Also you might want to get a dumb cable that only charges vs. a smart cable that charges and syncs.

You do not need any special device to test the cables as you suggest. There are two apps I use to test the current flow on my nexus to determine which Micro USB Cables charge it the fastest. The apps are Current Widget and Battery Monitor. Don't need both but both can be used for the purpose of seeing how fast your phone is being charged.
I have many cables I have tried and found that OEM cables do work best for charging, for after market cables I own, the mono price thin Micro USB cables work the best on my nexus 7. I also have amazon basics USB cables but those do not charge well enough. I have a nexus 7 and a moto x currently, so when I can I use the moto x OEM cable with my nexus 7 and any cable with the moto x (the moto x has some kind of optimized charging ability and I have found it charges well enough regardless of cable, but the nexus 7 needs the right cable to charge at a good rate)
Thanks for all the replies....I knew I was asking a valid question. One day my N7 2012 just stopped charging with the supplied ASUS cable. Luckily I had a Samsung travel adapter lying around which it didn't seem to mind! Thanks for the Amazon links but unfortunately I'm not in the States (Ireland).
My Asus cable went bad on me within the first 2 weeks of me buying my tablet (new). I used an old HTC cable with the Asus wall charger for a while, then went with a Qi wireless charger. Much better than factory, now. That's my suggestion to you as well, just go with a Qi charger and be done with wires!

Just get a few micro-usb cables on eBay...
Have you guys found any cables that work with the OEM charger? I broke my original cable, and it seems that all my other cables have too much plastic shielding around the USB port to go into the slot. I have ordered a Monoprice cable and I was wondering if anyone has used this with the OEM charger
I have not had any problems with charging using my various mixed brands of micro usb cables. I have a dedicated 5 port usb charger capable of outputting a max of 2 amps per port and all seems fine. The only problem I've run into is one of my portable chargers seems to not like the N7.
Every single ASUS charger cable I have owned has failed more than once..
They are made cheaply but they charge a fortune for them..
You can find a cheap, but higher grade cable if you look in Amazon or eBay..
Just check what is the maximum Amps it can take..
I go through cords every day.. The ASUS cables failed the fastest..

Not really on topic, but no,. it won't work - different resolutions and all that...
I came across Benson Leung's blog posts for USB Type C cables that pass muster, preferably USB IF Certified. He's an engineer with Google. There are about a hundred or so "compliant" cables but there are probably hundreds more that are not, tons are on Amazon and at Best Buy. One quick thing to look for that good cables have is a solid pin , there is no vertical seam down the middle of the pin that plugs into the phones charging port.

I use both the iOrange-E and Anker Powerline...didn't even read this list before I purchased them.
I do use Anker's Micro-B to C Adapters though and haven't had any issues.
this is so annoying. so I've gotten two USB c adapter he recommended so I can use one with my Samsung charger, which I assume will work no problem. and one ill use in car. but my car chargers are old, and i think quick charge 2.0. so if I use the adapter, will it blow my phone up?? I have no idea. lol ugh. so annoying.

You should check to see if they are Benson's list for compliance. He forced them to issue a recall for one of their products. I'm returning an Aukey 3.0 charging station today that is overheating badly while the 2.0 charging station I have from them runs fine.

Correct I was thinking about this Aukey charger, my mistake. They laid into Aukey hard core. obviously both companies have put out some inferior products with regard to Type C USB standards. we cant give them blank check on brand name...yet.

Heads up, I picked up a couple of cables from Benson's list. One iOrange-E and one WolfBlitz.
Unfortunately the WolfBlitz does not appear to support Quick Charge 3.0. I'm getting a message to use the original LG cable. The iOrange-E cable does not have this issue. Both were $10 on Amazon for the braided 6 foot long versions. I like the braided versions over the stiff Belkin type cables because They are eaiser to keep in my coat pocket when connected to my small 3.0 QC power bank.
I bought a good quality braided USB A to USB C cable to use as a spare for my LG V20.
When I connect my phone to my PC using the cable, the phone indicates "Charging" but it doesn't show up as a removable drive and there is an exclamation mark on the COM6 device in device manager.
Switching back to my OEM LG cable, everything works just fine.
This is the cable that I bought:
http://www.hi-online.co.za/pdp/snug-type-c-to-usb-3-cable/_/A-270091AADG5
When looking at a cable in-store, I honestly don't know how to tell which cable will work and which won't.
Now, I only really need the cable as a spare for charging purposes but I'm concerned about whether its safe for me to continue to use it for that.
There aren't a lot of options available in stores where I live but this is one other option I saw:
http://www.kanex.com/usb-c-usb3-cable
Will that work?

I bought the above Kanex USB-A to USB-C cable and found that it has the same problem as the other cable that I bought. My V20 shows charging but I cannot transfer data and there are exclamation marks in device manager.
I researched a bit further after buying the cable and found that Benson Leung has also given a negative review of the cable on Amazon, stating that the cable is not spec compliant.
I really like Spigen products, decided on this.

As Bensor and Nathan K point out repeatedly, the USB C spec forbids proprietary fast charging such as QC 2 and 3. USB C supports PD fast changing. Oddly, the LG charger that comes with the LG20 has QC3 but I don't use it, I use a Benson-approved PD charger.
Just had my Kidigi USB C dock break that I was using with my Nexus 5X. I am struggling to find any docks that have USB C and Power Delivery. Has anyone found one? It's not really important to have the PD because I only use this charger for at night when I'm sleeping but it would be nice to have if it's available. Thanks!
I am very happy with my Seifio USB C dock, but they have been out of stock for quite a while. https://www.seidioonline.com/product/seidio-desktop-charging-cradle-type-c/
Can someone clarify power delivery? I'm getting mixed results.
Are you looking for a dock that will charge your phone? What's the purpose of being USB and not charging?

FYI, I just received my new phone, Seidio Surface case and holster. I had the same setup on my original Pixel XL and it worked fine. However, for some reason the bottom of the Pixel 2 XL case is thicker, causing the USB C port to be recessed too far to connect to the plug on my Seidio USB C dock.
I will be contacting them for suggestions, as the two Seidio products should be compatible with each other.
USB C charging for the Nexus 6P was 15w. Power Delivery for the Pixel and Pixel 2 are 18w. Some laptops and macbooks can charge at even a higher rate
I cannot believe that USB type C PD has been out for years and there is not ONE usable dock.
I just bought this one, came in yesterday used it couple times now says it's RAPID CHARGING. seems to be charging well mind you it's only been one day.

I am very happy with my Seifio USB C dock, but they have been out of stock for quite a while. https://www.seidioonline.com/product/seidio-desktop-charging-cradle-type-c/

I've never used a dock, but I can't imagine buying a dock like this where all of the phone weight is propped up on the charging port. Those things aren't welded in like a car trailer... they snap all the dang time. I am currently in the market for a USB-C dock, but am specifically looking for one that has a "rest" for my phone.
I've seen a couple out there, but one is Samsung and the other looks identical, but with a different name.
It seems we just need to create our own and we'll sell millions...
I ended up buying this dock. It's great so far even though it doesn't fast charge. I just have it on my night stand so I don't really care about fast charging there. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071HFM217/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ycgdAb6TYTBSR
Looks like this one is PD and even if it isn't at least it has a USB C connection and not an attached USB A cable.

Good find! I just found more USB C CharmTek docks at AliExpress and they're cheaper too, if you don't mind slow shipping: https://charmtek.aliexpress.com/sto...pm=2114.12010608.0.0.69e148caGflmWA&topMenu=y

Nope. Just noticed it. Not too many bad reviews really. I don't know if I want to get one or not though.

Doesn't seem worth it. I've been burned too many times on Amazon with trusting their reviews. Just basically threw away $8 on a screen protector that ended up being complete garbage however had a 4.5 star review.

One of the reviews shows the connector broke after a few uses. Why are there no quality docks out there? Everything is so dang cheap. I'd spend $50 if I knew it would be a solid dock that I could use for a long time.

As theBeachBoy said, that's not a dock, so it's not what people in this thread are looking for. But if anyone is looking to buy a multiport charger that supports PD, I've owned that Anker one for a year. I have it setup near an older iOttie car mount that I use as a dock on my desk, and it works great.
