I thought it was just one cable... but i've gone through 3 S6 Edge, and 1 S7 Edge, and all the cables that comes with the OEM BOX are complete ****, and instantly disconnects when you connect to PC as a data cable... wtf? I have to use my Xperia Z3 cables to actually get my S7 Edge to transfer from my PC...
anybody else have problems with the oem cable?
OEM cable is really thin... never been a fan. I use LG's cables since I have a few spare ones. Or other ones I have bought.

Does *any* Micro USB cable work with the Nexus One?
Like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-Cable-Micro-1-0m-Black/dp/B001QATRCA/
The G1 USB cable I currently use was the same price as the above, but it was actually branded as a "G1" cable.
Anyone know for sure?
yes, any micro USB cable. Heres a breakdown:
If your phone has an extUSB port, any extUSB cable or miniUSB cable will work.
If your phone has a miniUSB port, any miniUSB cable will work, extUSB would work but it cannot physically fit into a miniUSB port.
If your phone has a microUSB port, any microUSB cable will work, but no miniUSB or extUSB will work.
extUSB is HTC's semi-proprietary USB port which is simply miniUSB with an audio connector and unique socket shape.
All USB ports and cables of the same form factor have the same pinout.
MicroUSB has replaced MiniUSB and all new released portable devices will have microUSB most likely.
Xperia X10 miniPro connections?
Hi Folks - This is my first post and still getting used to how this board works, so please be patient with me!
I've got a similar problem regarding miniUSB leads... I've recently bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 miniPro... It charges via the USB port but the connector is not standard!
I'm wondering if anyone knows the pin-out of the socket and also where leads with such a connector can be purchased online?
Thanks for any help!

And you thought asking Nexus One owners would be a good idea?
Try a Sony section, someone there is bound to know.
All microusb cables are not the same I found this out recently.
I bought a microusb "blackberry" that fit into my nexus one no problem but when I tried to use it to transfer files; windows would act like it didn't know what device it was.
Now i'm currently using a kodak microusb that will allow windows to know its the nexus one and I can I mount my phone but everything is copy write protected.
So when I get home I have to go back to my old beat up cord that wont stay in my phone until I find a suitable replacement that will let me mount and access the files.
I bought some blackberry microusb cables on Amazon for a penny back in March (yes, 1 penny each!). They work perfectly for everything. I guess somehow wondercoolguy managed to find cables that were even cheaper then mine

This BB wire fits the nexus like a glove but hates transferring information. Yes I got my wire for 1.00 from a mertine if I remember correctly....I hate that place
Afaik any micro usb cable will work. Micro usb is the new standard.
I haven't seen any charging-only cables but that is a possibility.

I have been using micro-usb cable for my external disk, Nexus/GalaxyS and my previously own Nokia N97. No problem for charging, transfer files or tethering. I even use old N97 charger (micro-usb connection) on Nexus One before. None of these had any problem.
Micro-USB is a standard connection, there shouldn't be a problem. If there is, it could be due to the system mainboard or mainboard's USB port itself. Try not to connect too many devices through a USB-hub that link up from a USB port of the system. If you really need connect it via a USB-hub, get those hub has a dedicated power adapter.
Just buy any cheap cable, it will work. I also bought two official HTC chargers for my phone as well as some random USB to microUSB cables. All work fine, just as do the cables from my Nokia phones, cameras and cables I found under my girlfriend's bed lol

I dont know if anything I said was taken to heart please disregard it because I found out that my work disabled the flash drives to read only. It's not the cables fault all my cables work at home sorry
I just bought the S7 Edge and my old Micro USB chargers will not plug into the phone. They work just fine on my old Note 4. Do you have to use the factory charging cord or am I doing something wrong?
Not sure what you're doing but all of my old micro USB cables work just fine.
Mine, too. I've used several old cables. Micro USB is micro USB.
I could not get them to actually fit on the charging point in the phone. I spoke to the Samsung rep at Best Buy. She said some of these old chargers had a different number of pins. I bought another charging cord and it works fine. Tried the old one at my office and at home and neither would fit on the charging prong in the phone. I thought they were all the same as well.
TLDR: I am only able to achieve a stable data connection using the Samsung usb-c cable that came with the phone. I've had my S8+ since the first day it was available in the US, Apr 21. And I've had this problem since that day.
Details:
When I plug my phone into a computer (transfer files, etc) or my car (Android Auto), it always works fine with the Samsung cable. It almost never works with any other usb-c cable I've tried, seeming to succeed only if the cable sits just right in the port. If it happens to work, and I move the phone/cable at all, it stops. On a computer, the "you plugged in a device" dialog pops up over and over again really fast (1 hertz).
I've tried it with both usb 2.0 and 3.0 ports on a couple towers and 3+ laptops
I've tried at least 3 different kinds of cables and at least 10 total cables. The cables don't sit loosely in the port or anything. They fit snug and hold fast, as I've come to appreciate about usb-c.
The other cables all work fine with other usb-c devices I have -- Pixel phone, Nexus 6p, Nexus 5x, Chromebooks, Nintendo Switch controllers
Charging works fine 90-95% of the time with other cables. When it fails, it slow charges, saying "Ensure the cable is plugged in properly" or something like that
I see articles online encouraging purchase of all kinds of non-Samsung usb-c cables to use with the S8
I would conclude the port is loose, but the cables all fit snugly, and the Samsung cable *always* works. I don't have to wiggle it in the port or anything--no effort at all.
This hasn't been a big deal for me until this week. I have usb-c cables all over the place I can charge with, and I carry the Samsung cable in my backpack for when I need a data connection. But now I have a car with Android Auto, and want to keep a valid cable in there.
Has anyone else experienced this? I searched around some, but couldn't find anything.
I'm using three different brands of type-C usb cables, micro usb cable+included adapter (micro usb to C). All are working fine.

It's a big I aqh3 I'm 99.9% positive. My MacBook pro power cable is as good as they come but it flaps like 3x then just says fail on my phone screen despite it working fine lol. It does not do this on for example the eng rom for root
I bought 3 type c cables from 3 different manufucturers. Only one of them doesnt work as advertised. Whenever i plug the phone with the cable the humidity sensor is switched on and it tells me the phone port is wet and i can not charge. Cant fidn any logical explanation but thats what i get

I experience the same problem. I haven’t tried the original cable. I just gave up on PC cable cause I never really needed it. I just wanted to use my usb c desktop connector to feel cool since usb c isn’t popular on a desktop yet. But yea constant disconnects unless you plug it without moving it, a slight wind can blow and cause it to disconnect. If the OEM cable works no problem, I’ll just buy one from a4c android store or amazon.

Hi!
My original usb cable broke so I had to buy new one that was advertised as fast charging cable. But it's not fast charging. I still have S7 Edge's stock charger. Just cable is new. Does S7 Edge detect usb cable somehow (with some software) and refuse to fast charge if it is not stock cable? Any ideas?
it depends on the quality of the data cable, it might be marketed as fast data transfers, but the truth is your cable is not of that quality which is required to transfer the enough current for your s7 edge that can be identified as fast charge. so if possible return the previous cable and biy another which can be of other brands.
Ok, I will try. So the phone itself is not validating cable somehow?
No, It requires that fast adapter and fast charging option should be enabled on your beloved phone... That's it.
I'm going straight to the point.
Does the redmi note 7 is picky when choosing a type-C Usb cable?
I tried to charge the phone with the nintendo switch type-c usb, but it won't charge.
Last Saturday i went to buy a type-C cable a good brand around 12.00 $ but it didn't seem to work. i bought a random one from a store "miniso" the old telephone line cord ones. And it actually charge it.
what i want is a usb that is larger than the one that comes in the box (.
A. do i have to search for specific brand or something?
anyone know why? need had seen this problem before

Sounds like you were the victim of a proprietary cable followed by a faulty one.
Redmi Note 7 uses any standard USB type C cable.

Any cable works for me. I've used the macbook cable as well as a 3rd party one.
My RN7 won't charge with micro usb cable and USB-C adapter.
With another device - Huawei - it is working without problems.
I think the RN7 is picky
