I notice that the USB cable for the Spice-Mi410/Ideos X6 is not the regular mini-USB connector. I am thinking of getting a replacement data cable (to keep in my office in case I need to charge the phone). Where can I find one or what are the replacement options I have?
Thanks...
Are you sure its not generic, because I thought all android phones have same usb socket. I remember using a LG cable sometime in the past.......
Ahh its generic i always use my brother's samsung cable, they are all alike afaik.

hi
it is very much available at any local mobile shop i got one for use at office
@whyzee, @nayneshdev: I tried with a samsung Galaxy cable and I couldn't fit it in. I haven't tried with other brands (Android phones). I will do that.
@haree: Will check the local mobile shops. I usually asked them for a cable giving my model name (which they didn't recognize ).

are you sure your usb socket of your phone is not faulty? make sure your clear that up too because triumph phones have had this problem....
Any MicroUSB cable is compatible with this Phone, I'm using Nokia N8's Data Cable because mine I forgot at my Bro's house (1000Kms Away) so can't go again only for the cable and as this is already working so I didn't tell him to send through Post (Courier)

The data cable that came with the box works, I think there is no problem with the USB socket. I will try the microUSB cable as suggested by ardX

yes it is not mini-USB but a micro usb. I think mini USB is mainly used in portable hard drives.

charging? where if the other 3 cable is plug on tv?
Dear Bongski55,
Thank you for this thread. I make many presentations through a projector, and the charging port is perfect!
Perfect! Just ordered one-now I don't have to hack together 2 cables to make one that charges and outputs video!

Hehehe...obviously with this cable alone you won't be able to charge at the same time connect to the tv.
You will have to use either an extender for the audio video cables or a USB extender.

The original question,the way I understood is "how to charge to tab at the same time connect to tv and watch movie or make presentation". I was assuming that there is no electrical outlet nearby to plug the charger and connect the usb cable.
As to how long or how short, the specs are all there in the dealextreme website.
I have no intention to defend this cable, My intention in posting this is to inform anybody interested that this is available for a cheap price and I am using it with no problems. If you are not interested to buy an 8 USD cable then you should instead buy the original Samsung AV cable here

In the other thread they say it is working.
I measured the cables and the pins and they are ok
I am using GT-P1000 Euro Tab, with Rotohammers Rom V2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939360
2.2 Froyo.
I have to stock HDMI dock and it is working.
When I connect the cable to the tab, and the TV and select the AV input, on the TAB must select something?, I had read that it is automatically had the picture on the TV screen.
I had also measured the rca cables, and the pins on the 30 pin connector and the have contact each other.
Please state what ROM are you using
When I plug the usb to Samsung charger I see the charging icon on the notification bar but it had the X red sign, like when you connect the stock cable to the PC

As I have stated this cable is an imitation/duplicate so I obviously cannot answer for the manufacturer/designer of this cable. Notice that the Samsung cable does not have USB. Maybe this is an after thought? Also notice that the cable are a bit small size and may not last long.....
As to complaints about this cable not working,maybe you can send your cable back to dealextreme as they do have return policy. I cannot vouch for the return service as I have not tried and have not experienced any defect on the items I got from dealextreme.
As I said-"you get what you pay for"......peace to all!
yes....we always get what we paid
The picture is smaller, up and down some inches black bar, and left rihrt very small black space
In LCD tv I can put a mode like cinema 1 and I have no black borders.

Basically, just got the X8 today (refurbished) from The o2 Shop.
Technically imo it should be in the box, but they argued that it's a refurbished phone so what's in the box is all you get.......still disagree with that, but they are ignorant *****.
Anyway, was just wondering where the best place to get one would be?
Would I be able to pick up a Sony Ericsson USB from say The o2 Shop?
Cheers in advance.
I don't know about you, but I lost my cable and I had to buy an official one from nokia, because I didn't find one from SE.. xD
just a buy a regular (mirco I think) usb cable
Thanks lads, however fortunately I just found my old BB USB which for some odd reason works fine with my new X8.

Why is it odd? Any micro usb cable works fine, doesn't matter the brand it's universal..
Ah true......bit stupid when it comes to these things
micro usb is universal...
really guys ?
for me, i tried to use other cable for charging & it is not ok
connecting USB is ok.. but not charging
any idea?
i tried with my previous Nokia cable
Any micro usb cable is okay
The problem is the power source.
SEMC standard charger have 850ma current.
Best practice : don't any charger over 850ma current.
U can charge by pluging into usb port on a pc or laptop.it's have 500ma current.

I just bought micro usb cable from pc shop. Try charge my IncS its show charging but after 1/2 hour the battery only charge 10%.
Same case when i use in car. Charge while using gps to navigate, but my battery still drain fast and at the end shutdown.
Its look like the charge slow using aftermarket micro usb. Do u guys face this problem? Why this happen, i tot all micro usb cable is same.
TQ

yeah i was in the same boat. i bought an aftermarket usb cable. and the cable wouldn't charge or allow me to mount my sd card on PC from Phone. But it works on Nokia C3-01 phone just fine.
I'd stay away from those cables and just buy the genuine HTC cable, atleast they are reliable.
if you want a more cables just look on ebay you can find them cheap, i buy mine for AU$3
I bought cable for Samsung captivate, it`s work fine with pc & car charger. Before Samsung cable i bought cable "prolife" and couldnt charge phone with that.

Not surprising. The cable is flat, so the pairs aren't twisted, basically clobbering the noise immunity.

the htc cable appears to be slightly thicker, which should give them room for the twisting.
I've find out that the problem only happends when I connect the cable to the monitor (external Dell monitor) and does not happend when I plug the cable directly to the desktop (the front USB port).
I must add the Samsung OEM cable is 95 cm and the "HTC" is 174 cm.
So I think is a matter of noise and cable length.
OK I had a USB cable that Verizon sent me with my like new phone aka used and the USB cable is a data cable and will I can not root with it or any thing it will charge the and that's it my bro let me use his USB cable that came with his Droid 3 using the same computer and it works I can movie my stuff to the SD card but not with my data cable all I can do is charge my phone with it and the box says its a data cable so can you guys give me more info and yes the drivers are installed right because my bros cable works

Sounds like a somewhat faulty cable. I'd recommend just using a different one or take that one to a Verizon store and seeing if they'll swap it out for a new one.

I think the Moto cables are crossover data cables. This pin configuration would render normal cables as only power cables. It helps them make ONLY their cables work for data, so you buy theirs. **This is merely my theory as to why only Moto cables do data though. Switched pins on phone and crossed over wires.**
If someone has one that currently just charges it, and wouldn't mind maybe ruining it for the better of society , could you open it up and cross over the data wires?

My Kindle cable works fine with my Droid 3 for data and charging - I travel with only micro-USB cable, it's the Kindle cable, and that works. In fact, I just plugged in a cable from a WD Passport external hard disk - that also works fine.
I do suggest people to use the Moto cable if they are having trouble using others, but I have never had an issue using non-Moto cables with the D3 for anything, from charging to USB data connection to a computer.
Sounds like a bad cable. The data wires are more sensitive to physical issues than the Vcc and ground wires. I one had a cheap generic USB cable I was using and while it charged devices fine, it would cause Windows or the device to hang if i tried transferring data.
I'm in the market for a new cable to charge my Note but there is so many in the market that i'm quite confused.
I know that the Note uses a micro usb to usb wire. I'm using a 1.8m cable that i
got when i bought a kindle and i am looking to purchase one at the same length
as the kindle wire is peeling near the connection point , and it is quite un sightly...

This would work right? It is named micro b instead of micro usb though. .

Any reason you can say why it is not ideal to use USB cable to power a phone ?
I have been using USB cable most of the time to charge my phone from laptop. I was under the impression that slow charge is always good for batteries.
Please explain
I believe it would be because he has read the product description. It doesn't state that it shouldn't be used for charging, but just to make sure that your device can take the amperage of the cable. This cable is specified for use with Continually connecting devices (eg printers, HDD etc), and not for charging. The Link below can be purchased in a 2m Length (slightly longer).

The seller is here: http://list.qoo10.sg/item/FREE-GIFTS-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S3-CASES/405902986
And to those saying that other wires apard from the one given by samsung.
I have been using the kindle one since i bought my note. And it is still going
strong. Apart from the ics brick bug that got repaired by warranty.
Also by the time it really starts to show that your battery is spoilt. Your plan
with whatever telco should have expired and you are entitled to a cheaper phone
