Is it USB3?
Where can I buy one to recharge my n7 in 2h30min?like original cable.

Its a normal micro USB cable, USB 2. A cable is a cable, most of them should work (all of them actually, a standard is a standard...)

+1 Look around, the Asus charger is rated at 2A and that's the "trick" for fast charging, modules/generic by others are often rated at .5A to .7A like those in (non-smart) phone days from Motorola & LG's or even Samsung's. The standard/universal micro-usb cable from HTC's are great (got like half of a dozen of them around) and their charger is rated at 1A and it will charge the N7 at a slower pace, but it's fine for overnight and so far so good, no problems (knock on woods - )
Oh, yeah, BTW - those generic ones from eBay or sold on Amazon as a bundle are just as good in that, they work too - dah dah. From what I know, practically all of these cables - branded or otherwise, are made in China ...
Do you have a cell phone? Most likely it uses the same cable. I charge my S2 and N7 with the same charger/cable combo. You can find one at almost any cell phone store.
Every USB Cable will fit as long as its a micro USB. loads of places sell them but eBay would be your best bet, PC World is a rip off

Cheap thin cables have significant resistance, and do not deliver 5 volts at one amp. If the drop is severe, the Nexus will go into slow charge mode, like charging from a PC.

I was also under the impression that the supplied N7 cable is a USB3 cable and the charger output is 5V @ 2Amps. If I use the original charger, I can substitute my Bionic cable and it seems to charge just as well. The supplied cable is quite thin compared to the typical usb2 cable.

USB3 is an entirely different kind of connector and has minimal PC support as of yet and is not backwards compatible. USB2 is almost universally supported by virtually every PC manufacturer.

AFAIK USB3 isn't entirely different from USB2, and actually backwards compatible. I have USB3 HDD Drive and can easily connect it to my old laptop or USB2 port on my PC. same with my USB3 card reader, i can use it on my USB2 with no problem. Downside just reduced speed, USB3 to USB2 will only reached max speed of USB2 capable of.
I have two USB3 ports on my desktop and they look nothing like the standard USB2 ports. I also have a USB3 hard drive and its cable will not fit anything but the USB3 ports on my desktop.
According to Tom's, there are significant differences even if you can plug one into the other.

Max speed will always reduced if you plug USB3 device to USB2 ports.

The first caption in the article you list says "USB 3.0 Type A Connector. Yes, it’s backward compatible with USB 2.0." which contradicts your statement about your hard drive and cable. You may be thinking about the micro USB Type B connector for usb 3, which is a different thing entirely.

I am only going off what's on MY motherboard as far as connectors and they are visually different from the USB2 connectors. My USB3 HDD enclosure came with its own cable and the end that plugs into the USB3 ports on my MB does not fit the USB2 ports. Apparently, it shouldn't be that way, but it is.:silly:

I'm currently in L.A. until 2/26, so not until then. I was somewhat surprised myself because I assumed they would be backward compatible, but there is definitely something different on the USB3 end of the cable and on my motherboard that prevented me from plugging it into any of the USB2 ports.

Since I have gotten the Epic I have had so many issues with windows seeing the phone and installing the proper drivers even right after restarting the phone. Im lucky if windows see's the phone one out of 10 times I have to plug unplug etc etc until my pc's see the darn phone.
So I caught a post earlier that suggested to try a different cable and BAMM!!! phone links every single time no issues. Im using the usb cable that came with my evo now. Just side by side you can see the huge quality difference.
Samsung might want to check these cables and I suggest if your having charging or communication problems with the phone to try a new cable.
Let me know if any of you are also able to reproduce this!!
Yes. My cable actually broke the 2nd day of owning this phone because it was tugged on a little too hard while i was using my phone with it charging. It wouldn't charge the phone unless it was being pushed upwards or held a certain way.
Pathetic.
I've since been using my girl's MyTouch 3g cable and have had no issues whatsoever.
I just purchased a few new cables from monoprice. I've always had awesome results from them and they are cheap.
Yes the cable that comes with the epic should not be used with a computer IMO. Just look at the charger that plugs into the wall and compare it to the USB pins on your computers case.
The pins are raised a lot higher on the part that plugs into the wall compaired to how raised the pins are on my PC's case. I'm running an antec 1200 and I would consider the front USB ports to be really "tight". I then tried a different cable and have had no problems.......OTHER THAN BATTERY LIFE IN GENERAL sucks on the epic.
I didn't Realize there was a problem with the usb cable on th
e computer side but I have been using my I mac since my pc took a dump b. i think the phone end of the usb cable is just crap.it seems to disconnect really easy and not near as robust as the one that came with my hero. Still love my epic though!

Come on. Both the cable and the wall unit sucks. A phone that is 500 bucks and you give me a .7 amp charger and a cheap ass cable? My HTC touch pro came with a 1 amp charger, that looked nice, and came with a good cable.

Right? Well at least we got 16g sd cards. They have to give and take you know? lol
my cord works just fine.
However i only have one mini usb (the one that came with it) so i ordered some micro usb to mini usb adapters so i can use all my old cables.
Just order a bunch of microUSB cables from monoprice. It's like $1.20/cable. I ordered 7 so I have a large collection of easily lost cables.
How the hell did I not know about this site? THANKS
When I connect my G2 to my PC, I get the message about how it will benefit from a 3.0 USB port. As far as I can tell the USB adapter it comes with isn't a 3.0 compatible cord. I was thinking about ordering one from Amazon. What do you guys think?
*UPDATE*
Looking at the connection, a 3.0 micro cable will not connect to this phone. Wonder why I get that message. I'm guessing that this is a misnomer my PC is throwing up.
My guess is this is just a generic warning Windows 7 likes to put out for anything it thinks might be usb 3.0 compatible

No other phone or tablet I have ever used has said this, even some new ones using Snapdraon 600 chipsets. My guess is that the Snapdragon 800 in our phones does in fact feature a USB 3.0 controller for it, but we probably just have the port for a 2.0 cable which is standard.
EDIT: found this:
LG’s G2 is equipped with the Snapdragon 800, a 2.26GHz quad-core Krait CPU paired with the Adreno 330 GPU. It supports USB 3.0, up to 4K video playback and capture, and supports Quick Charge 2.0 for up to 75% faster charging times.

I am seeing the same error. Based on the color of the USB on the supplied cable, it is not a 3.0 cable. However, the device is 3.0.

Did you see the pic I posted above? A 3.0 micro usb cable has extra pins and it's a different shape. The chipset might have 3.0 architecture, but the port is only 2.0. Maybe on a future model this might com about, but not on this phone.

Yes, I did, and the emoticons in my post were not intentional, as they are supposed to be the letter B.
The cable you posted is not what we are looking for. We need to determine if there is such a cable as a USB 3 to USB micro. This is different than the pictured cable, which is UB 3.0 to USB Micro B.
I do not have my stock cable handy, so I cannot remember if it is USB 3 at all. Is the plastic blue inside the USB side?

I think you're a little confused. You refer to "USB Micro" and "USB Micro B" as if they are different connectors. They are not. Yes, people commonly refer to it as a micro USB connector, but only because they don't know or drop the "B". The LG G2 has a USB 2.0 micro B connector on it. It does not have a USB 3.0 micro B connector on it. The cable pictured earlier in the thread is the proper USB 3.0 A to Micro B cable. Obviously, it won't fit in the LG G2, because the LG G2 does not have a USB 3.0 micro B connector. This does make it very strange that a computer would pop up a message saying that the device would work better on a USB 3.0 port when it doesn't have the necessary physical connector to support USB 3.0 but, well, sometimes technology does strange things.

What is a micro cable that's not a B? You mean a micro A?
The stock charge cable is not 3.0.
Can't you just check the transfer speeds?
The Lg G2 micro usb is not a Hdmi port, but it still supports it, through a MHL adapter. So maybe it also supports usb 3?
I am wondering if we can disassemble the phone and replace the USB board with a board that has a USB3 port soldered to it. Then of course also cut out the outer case shell to have a bigger hole. Wouldnt look as nice but it sure would be nice getting much faster speeds since both the chipset and storage system are easily capable of so much more.
Also, this is what a USB3 micro-B connector would look like on a phone:
The micro USB port is not MHL incompatible. It uses slimport like the Nexus 4.
Based on the service manual and the physical configuration of the port I believe that this phone has a USB 3.0 port, but we just don't have a cable or adapter yet to access the rear pins. Attached is a sketch I made showing what the port looks like. The service manual on page 468 supports the physical configuration of the port (3 pins on each side of central standard usb 2.0 5pins ). I am hoping the Nexus 5 will have this port and help LG push out the necessary adapter. I hope we can get some official confirmation on this at some point. I would use USB 3.0 for transferring or recording video directly to flash drive. There is also a potential for 4K recording like the Note 3. So big files would be common place while recording a 4K. 4K streaming from a G2 to a ultra HD tv has already been demonstrated at a trade show in August.
So yes, I believe a micro USB 3.0 port could be added, but by no means would it be easy, or look right. Best just hope for an adapter.

The LG G2 definitely does have a USB 3.0 connector, but unfortunately it is a proprietary non-standard connector. See my previous post. I can not find a cable with this strange new connector anywhere.

When they are saying its an A cable or B cable, they are really talking about the what the end connector will be. Think of the A connector as the standard usb connector you connect to your computer or to your wall charger. Then think of the B connector as the tiny usb connector you connect to your cell phone or tablet.
Companies sell A to A usb cables or A to B cables (which is what all cell phones use). A simple wiki search on usb will help clear things up.

You're saying it is USB3 compatible, then is this why the plug feels very tight to fit into the connection port? Sometimes it even makes a bit of a cracking sound, as if its not connecting properly, before finally fitting properly.
Looking into the connector, it does look a bit different from my Razrs connector.

That is probably for the most part because it new, but can't say for sure. My Google Nexus was getting quite loose, and I know it was tight in the beginning. It doesn't have anything to do with the proprietary USB 3.0 connector because if the plug is ever released it will be about twice as long as a standard micro USB 2.0 to reach the extra pins. I still can't figure out anything more about it.
Unfortunately from comparing various tear down of the LG G2 and the FCC teardown pictures of the Nexus 5, the Nexus 5 looks to have a standard micro USB 2.0. Definitely not as wide as a standard USB 3.0 and not as deep as the LG G2 proprietary USB 3.0 connector.

Still, there's something off about the charger on the G2. It doesn't match my Razr one, but the Razr plug fits in the G2. The other way around works, but is very, very tight.
Where did you find the breakdown of the G2? I've been looking but didn't find anything.

I have seen some comments and reviews that some USB-C cables are dangerous to use on our phones. Mainly the "Amazon Comment" from a Google Engineer who said that a particular USB-C cable could harm the device.
I am looking to buy some cheap Micro-USB to USB-C adapters for my current chargers, does anyone know if they are safe to use?
Is there a thread that has all the tested and confirmed cables, adapters and chargers? Seems this USB-C thing is more confusing than I though it would be.
I think you are better off buying a USB 2.0 Type A to Type C cable instead of a micro USB adapter. This one has been recommended:
http://www.amazon.com/iOrange-E-Braided-Reversible-Connector-ChromeBook/dp/B010VFFSL4/
Something like this is NOT compliant, according to the same Google engineer:
http://www.amazon.com/Adapter-TechMatte®-Convert-Connector-OnePlus/dp/B0151RKYBG/
bummer, I don't need "fast charging" all the time so I'm ok with standard charging speed for the most part. However I certainly don't want to "harm" my device with a cable or adapter that is not properly engineered.
Most if not all of the cables he recommends are around $20 for just a cable. Craziness...
I don't think you will damage the phone, but there's a risk you will damage the other side, i.e. charger or computer port. Now frying a $10 charger is not a big deal as long as you are not setting the house on fire, but frying a computer USB port is a different story ... that's what I'm really worried about.
I love how iOrange raised prices on their cables by $4-5 each. That's a 25% increase since gaining popularity yesterday.

Work, car, etc. I don't want to remember to take the charger/cable with me to work or in the car, I just want to leave them there. And the short cable that comes with the 6P is well ... too short. If you have a desktop computer sitting on the floor or want to charge from the wall or the car, it's just not good enough.
Fair enough!

This has nothing to do with travel. and the c-a cable it comes with is too damn short to use for much beyond data transfer. Unless the USB a charger is literally plugged in right next to where the phone is going to sit.
I'm trying to figure out how this new charging thing works as far as the required cable/charger.
I bought the iOrange-E cable from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/iOrange-E-Braided-Reversible-Connector-ChromeBook/dp/B010VFFSL4/
I have a charger from my old Galaxy S4 that is 5V-1A. When I plug the iOrange in that charger and to my phone, it will say "Charging" but will not steadily charge. What I mean by that is that it'll change states to charging, then it'll stop charging, over and over again.
Another charger I have is 5 V - 2.1 A. With the iOrange cable, this works fine. It will say "Charging."
I have an Anker car charger. This is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FYQKMRG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
I'm not sure what the V/A is on that but with the included USB C -- USB A cable that was shipped with the Nexus 6P, it will charge.
I don't have the USB specs but does anyone know what the minimum is for simply "Charging"? How about "Charging Rapidly?"
I'm assuming my 5V - 1 A charger is too low since it doesn't seem to charge the 6P properly.
I saw the same thing with an HTC 1.5A charger. It charges for a few seconds and then it stops. Not sure what's going on, you'd think that it could at least pull the 500mA or 900mA per the USB spec. Another Anker charger that I have works.
I have this adapter Delmkin
It passes compatibility test using this app CheckR when hooked up with a tronsmart micro-USB cable.
Somebody mentioned that we have all what is needed inside the box and that's true and all but thing is most people don't want to carry their cables/chargers with them wherever they go. I have at least two charger with cables in each room of the house. One in each car and one at work. Makes it convenient since micro-USB cables/chargers are so cheap. Now with USB-C its a different story. One these cables are not cheap at all and now we are learning most of them aren't even complaint with the specs. So it helps to have a tiny adapter to be able to use all the cable I already own with Nexus 6P.
Both cables included with the 6p are too short for my use cases. I've bought a C to USB 2 cable but I'm having trouble finding USB C cables longer than 6ft. Also I've noticed that there are plenty of issues with cables that are advertised as rated as one thing but really another
I like the one+ cables. I know they are not over 6ft but just a suggestion.....I have a USB extention cable....USB A male to USB A female that I keep in our minivan. It allows any charging cable to stretch across the entire vehicle for long trips when kids/passengers battery is low on any device. They are cheap and worth using if you are using a USB A to USB C....if it's C to C then I'm of no help to you lol
Isn't there a issue with the cable in that it's 2a vs 3a? And yeah primarily concerned with c to c to replace the one packaged with the phone

A cable is a cable, but will be rated to carry a certain amount of power with a certain amount of losses. The longer the run, the more the losses.
Longest I've been able to find are 6.6ft. Cable Matters is one that uses metric and so is a little longer than a 6ft cable. PECHAM C32 [2 Pack] 6.6ft USB 3.1 Type C Cable USB-C to USB-C Male Reversible.
