I've been thinking about getting a cable to extend my N7 from the wall. I can't very well use the charging cable that came with the tablet because it's so terribly short, I was wondering, if I got some kind of Usb extension cable, would it affect my device. I can handle it charging a little slower, but I don't wanna ruin the battery or anything else. All help and any flaming is welcome, as this is kinda a nooby question. Thanks, dudes.

best place to get inexpensive cables
Sorry for the quick reply there. Basically you wanna get one of these. http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030302&p_id=5447&seq=1&format=2
As you can see they have them in various lengths. I have a 10ft one. These work much better then those plug in extensions that just add on to the existing cord. You lose a little voltage that way. With these cords you are getting a good quality cord for cheap with no voltage loss.
Actually, that's a mini connector, we need a micro. Don't think I can post a link yet, but Monoprice has a the same black cable with gold connectors in the micro size, too.
I buy a car charger trust 2.4 amp but no work on my s5. Other phones work ok. I use the usb 2.0 cable. I must return the car charger and get another one 2.1 A or buy a usb 3.0 cable?
It's unclear how you are using trust i.e. your subject doesn't make sense. But anyway, if the charger only works for some phones and not others, then probably it has an out of spec voltage or possibly poor aligned pins. You don't need a USB 3 cable. Just buy a name brand or better quality car adapter and you should be good.

Sort for my bad english. The brand car adapter is Trust.l have try to charge other Samsung phone and an iPhone and he work ok. On my s5 don't work only if l shut down the phone is charging but not like from a normal charger.
As the title says, my Z1 won't charge with wall charger, but it does charge with the power bank and the same cable, I've already checked if the adapter was faulty but it isn't, is it an hardware issue? I'm really worried about this as you know zuk's assistance is pure shi..

It is USB cable provided. Me and more people had the same problem.
Buy another cable. That is the problem almost assure.
Then you should write Zuk to tell them what piece of **** of cable they provide, and a solution for us who we are spending money on another cable.

Hi Everyone!
Unfortunatelly My x720's USB connector burned few weeks ago during fast charging.. It is burned, the connector is fuzed and I feel the burning smell, but it was already too late.
So the usb port got unusable, I can not use it for charging, and I am not able to connect to my phone!
I wanted to buy a new USB flex board but unfortunatelly there is no full (factory) version on the market!
I searched it many hours on the net, but there are only cheap ( remanufactured) version of it.
They have many missed parts, just have their solder points on the board, so these do not support OTG and fast charging.. I can not understand why can't make full version boards for a higher price, these versions are unhelpful items.
https://ibb.co/kYypx8
https://ibb.co/fnH4VT
https://ibb.co/fZM9x8
So I bought only USB C connectors and I will try to replace it on the original board!
I thing it will be a hard work, but I hope it will succeed.
If not, I have to buy a used phone for parts, and I will take out the USB board from it.
As I see, the X722 have the same flex board!
So I would buy a hard bricked x722 for parts for a good price!
Just very important to me that its USB connector be in a good condition!! Do someone would sell it??
I know unfortunatelly there are lots of users who have hard bricked dead x722...
So if you read this lines and you can help me, please write me, and I hope we can make a deal!
Thanks
Daniel
Hi, exactly the same happened to me, the USB port of my leeco was burned. I do not know if it would be because of the usb cable c stock that brings (bad quality). But you'd be surprised if I told you that, shortly after the usb port c burned down, I looked more closely at port C and there was melted black plastic on the pins of the connector. Then clean the connector with a fine needle (carefully), getting rid of the plastic, the remains are cleaned with cotton and a little isopropyl alcohol (which leaves no traces when it evaporates). After doing all the above, I was surprised when I plugged in the headphones and it worked, in the end I tried another cable type C first with the PC and it worked (it was recognized by the normal PC), then I took a chance with another charger I had at home (not the Leeco charger) and it worked ... I had no problem loading it. You could try it ..!

Hi
@Kener97
Thanks for the response, I would try it, maybe it would work for me as well, but it is pretty melted..Unfortunatelly I have already disassembled the phone. I did not have another cables, but now I have two good quality fast charger USB C cables, but now I already can't try it! I happy that you can use your phone after the accident. Yeah, you're right the original cable has very bad quality. I had already thrown it into the trash.
So I decided If I have already disassembled the phone than I will try to replace the USB C port in the next week and then I'll se what can I do.
@tsongming
Thanks for the links, but as I wrote, these USB boards unfortunatelly are not the original items just cheap versions with many missed parts! Check the images!!
You can see teir solder points on the boards. So these don't support OTG and fast charging... Only the normal charging without communications. These are not an option to solve the problem. Maybe if I would replace the missed parts from the original board if the connector replace won't be suceed.. )
I will write the result!
Anyone, any other solutions? Or anyone known where could I buy the factory version boards?
Regards,
Daniel

I don't know, but the x722 and x720 is the same at the USB port and the poor quality USB cable as well!
I just recommend You don't use the fast charging especially don't with the original cable!

Thank you for the answer. Do you think the problem is the whole charge or Just the cable? Is It ok to use fast charge with third party cables?

The cables are notoriously bad, one of my x727s was destroyed by a bad cable. Fortunately, Amazon exchanged it for a new phone.
We have 4 Leeco phones in our house. I have replaced all of the USB cables with highly rated cables, that have a replacement guarantee.

Although some people recommend also switching the charger block. I don't agree with them, and think that is overkill. Its the stock cables that are garbage, not the the charging blocks.
We have four of these charging blocks and no issues with any of them. In fact, in late December, when the X727 that I returned had its usb card burned. My dad ( a retired electrical engineer) took apart one of the blocks and found it well constructed.
Next, Leeco charging blocks are approved by and meet Qualcomm standards.
https://www.qualcomm.com/media/documents/files/quick-charge-device-list.pdf
If there was an issue with the charging blocks on a large scale, would they still provide this publicly available list? No, I don't think so.
Should you decide to go ahead and replace the adapter anyway, The pdf list has a section with Qualcomm approved chargers under the "Premium Power Banks" section

There are plenty of people with bricked X722's, go to the X722 unbrick thread and message those people, maybe some on will sell you their expensive paperweight for cheap.
If you live near a large city there is bound to be a shop that does repair at the component level. perhaps they could fix your damaged board or as you mentioned transfer the chips from the old board to the 3rd party board that has missing chips. The issue is that some of those chips are likely fried.

Hi!
No, only will work the slow charging and USB communication with the cheap, useless USB flex board!
But there is a solution, to get a new original x720 USB board with all functionality!
After 3 months and Iots of time what I spend on the net, I found TAOBAO chinese site, and to my surprise some seller selling the original version board there with a good price!
Use the Crome browser with built in translater!
Only one problem, TAOBAO is a chinese "domestic site", and nobody ship to abroad.
But I did not give up! And I found the final solution, that's Yoybuy! (Yoybuy.com)
Yoybuy is a forwrding site!
You can buy everything form chinese sites helped by Yoybuy, for a cheap price!! From Taobao or many chinese site and you can use it English.
Just register at Yoybuy and copy the Taobao item's link to Yoybuy and they will buy the items, what you want! You can pay by paypal as well!
I hope I could help you! My phone is back to life, and it is like a new one!
Regards
Daniel
PS. Definitely buy a new good quality USB C cable for charging ( I recommend You the Oneplus DASH cable) to stay the USB connector intact!

I think you make a good point about the the LeEco charger. Precisely, it is the cable that is the biggest culprit. I recently bought a x720 and had it for a week charging with an old charger and cable of my le 2. One day i couldn't find the le 2 charging cable so I decided to use the one that came with the pro 3. Just seconds after plugging the cable in I smelled burning plastic and could see smoke coming out of the usb port. I removed the cable and could immediately see that it had melted on the pins close to the edge. Funny enough, if i plug this burnt cable on my le 2 it is charging but if i plug it into the pro 3 it gets hot and starts to produce smoke. I have tried with other type c cables and the port is burning them also. Now it looks like I need to replace my usb port. I will have a closer look at it to see if it can be cleaned but I'm not hopeful. I hope i can get original parts for it because i was sold an old phone by an AliExpress seller who claims it's new. I have started a thread on it. Hopefully I can spin it out to ask anyone with information about where to get genuine parts to help restore these old phones.
