Did anyone else notice the new included USB Cable? ECB-DUE4EWE

I've noted that is bigger than my cable of my S4. What it's good because I was always fighting with the short cable when it was pluged to the wall.

micro usb has short in it

just noticed this morning when I plugged my USB cord in. anybody else have this problem?
oh, i have already tried different usb cables as well. it's rooted, so im pretty much screwed.
A bit more description might yield better results. How long have you had the problem? Does it work when plugged into a computer vs. wall?
I've randomly had times that my phone wouldnt "recognize" that it was plugged in to a wall charger, but that lasted for no more than 5 minutes.

Other people have had luck getting htc to repair/replace damaged handsets even after unlocking the bootloader. I would try that, what the worst that can happen, they say no lol. I wouldn't volunteer that you unlocked the bootloader, but it shouldn't really matter, since that has nothing to do with a damaged usb port.

think i broke my phone....help?

ook so this might be a bit hard to follow but here goes. ok i got a coffe mug thatkeeps coffee warm its a usb that plugs into either a usb port or a 12v adapter for ciggarette lighter. and i dont have a car charger for my hd2 so i plugged my usb into the 12v adapter witch has obviously a usb in the back you simply plug a usb into ok so i tried this to see if it would charge my phone and it didnt / no big deal soooo i plug my usb into my laptop to charge my phone ...not working not the battery wont hold a charge instead its not even showing the charge icon on the batt indicator like its not plugged in ....thought maybe i messed the usb end of the plug up plugging it into the 12 adapter for the coffee mug so i tried a second plug that had nothing to do with the experiment and its doing the same thing acting like its not even plugged in ...so did i fry somthing? batt is low but seems to be fine phone works fine other than the no charge issue and no anomalies occured when it plugged into the 12v adapter
update when charger plugged in says plug in charger confirming it doesnt know its plugged in

Sounds like you fell victim to the poor quality of the microUSB port on the HD2. If you can, I would re-flash back to WinMo6.5 and send it in for a warranty repair. If not, you're next best choice would be to send it into a 3rd party repair shop. =/ Sorry.
well this is the usb chord im talking about not the microusb

What? You plug the USB cord into the microUSB port and you're not getting any reactions. Sounds like the microUSB port is broken...
nonono ok have coffe mug with usb charger and 12v adapter you plug usb into i plugged usb from my usb data / charging cable into the usb 12v adapter to see if adapter would charge phone and now the phone says plug in charger when already plugged in like its not recognizing the charger is plugged in on both usb data cable i used to try the 12v adapter AND seperate charger that had nothing to do with adapter and the usb charger cable plugs into the phone
oooh ok where i plug the cable into is the microusb port i get it ... ok that seems to be fine to it was working perfect until i tried to use the usb 12v adapter to try charging the phone could the adapter have fried the charger hardware in the phone ?

Possible, the voltage is pretty high and could conceivable short your charging circuit...
All of the USB adapter should be outputting about the same since the USB ports are standardized for electrical output. I suspect your USB data cable could be at fault. If you phone doesn't react to your USB cable being plugged in, you also may want to try pressing one of the hard keys on your phone so that it can realize that you are plugged in via USB. I have that issue with my phone from time to time and just press one of the hard keys so that the phone knows it is plugged in for charging.
that somthin that can be fixed or is that a throw the phone away problem
believe me i tried ...... i pressed all kinds of buttons and no reaction.... and now the battery died so i cant do anything

I wouldn't throw your phone away... Try a 3rd party repair shop - they should be able to fix it for around $70... Expensive, I know, but it's better than spending $500 on a new phone.
they said if a different charger isnt working the phone is a goner

Definitely not true. They don't know what they're talking about and I wouldn't trust them anymore. Try CellularDr.com. I sent my phone in to repair for the exact same problem and it's in the process of getting fixed now. They even have the part to repair it. I've called and talked to them, they can fix it and they don't care about custom ROMs on the phone.

ok well maybe the pin's are ok, but cable is still broken:
even with wall charger it takes 5h to charge with original cable, but 1.5h with other cable
also KIES works fine with other cables, but not with original cable ...
guess I need to chuck it into the bin

[Q] OEM usb cable malfunction

Hello community,
trying for half an hour to connect my note 3 to the pc using the OEM usb cable, I kept getting error 43 "Unknown Device" stuff but the phone was being charged. After that, I plugged it in my usb 3.0 external drive cable and got recognised instantly. What do you think is the problem here? I did happen to land the phone-edge of it in a yogurt bowl last week but, after cleaning it, it has been working normally this much time!
(Hope) someone else had a similar experience and worked it out...
Thanks,
jim
Original cable that came with my Note 3 has broken wire inside from new, I need to move it around few times just to get it connect inside and charge phone, Note 3 itself works fine with usb2 cables, or usb3 cable from my back up HDD, so I strongly suspect one of the wires inside your cable broke or has poor connection as well, but here it's data line, not power like in mine. Solution is very simple, use another usb3 cable, that should give you fast charge, or even usb 2, but here probably charge will be slower. You can find inexpensive cables online, also I don't think cables have full 1 yr warranty, like phones do but you may as well try warranty claim. BTW there is nothing special about Samsung charging cable as far as I know and at least in my case any USB3 cable will charge my phone at full speed, just like original cable as long as charger is original.

yes, Kies 3 has been installed since the beginning with the drivers. And as long as the phone is recognised through another cable, the drivers are definitly installed! Thanks again!

As long as I have the backup cable, I just leave the OEM in the wall charger and everything is fine. There is the fact that my Knox is 0x1, but I can just try the warranty with the cable and the receipt :angel:
Thanks again!
