Ok Guys and Gals,
I had a topic going on for a while about windows not detecting my Tablet.
we went round and round about drivers, Novacom, and even formatted my system.
But here what it was My micro usb cable.
My dog had eaten my Hp one. so I bought a generic one through EBAY
I my son took my cable for whatever reason so I grabbed the one that cae with my phone and it fixed everything
So heres my question
what is the right Micro usb cable to buy that will give optimum power abnd data transfer
A micro usb 2.0?
anybody that can help would be great
Any decent microUSB cable will work, its just 4 wires inside linking your Touchpad to your computer. I have used a Motorola, Blackberry, etc branded cables with no issues. Its not uncommon for cheap generic cables to have issues if they shipped with a defect.

could you help me
so thanks

or could i use universal usb cable which has the same size for this one?
because I tried to find out cable but failed, no one sells that.
please help me to answer this question.
thanks so much
hi, just like you i also need usb cable for my 8010. ive googled high & low but to no avaiL? especially as im in the Philippines . . maybe by this time you have new info? pls help & thanks
Its just a usb-to-micro-usb cable.
thanks, but the micro usb's available on ebay are for motorola & looking at the pics -> - > they look different . .
Micro usb is micro usb. Its a standard.
usb may be a standard, but ...
... apparently the cable ends are not. I've have three different Jabra headsets in the past several years, all of which used a usb charging cable and none of the usb cable ends on the headset side were compatible with each other. I made the mistake of ordering off ebay and the cables I received did not fit my 8010. My advice: Don't buy a usb cable unless the seller can confirm that the cable works with your particular headset.
@kihoalu
thanks very much. if you get wind of a supplier, pls post. im sure there are others who also need this cable
I wish I knew why yours are all different, my 8010 came with a standard micro-USB port. The charger and the computer sync cable are quite normal.
Is it a proprietary cable? Looks like a variation of mini USB. Need to get some back-ups for the cars and work...
Thanks!
It's a normal micro USB plug, but the plug is slightly recessed into the body of the device, and some cords with fatter ends may not fit well. I found some OEM Samsung cables on Amazon that weren't for the Focus specifically, and have rubbery ends instead of the hard plastic tips like the Focus cord has, but they're the same dimensions and work quite well.
It is proprietary in a way. To charge the phone any micro usb will do however it will not connect to zune nor the pc without the included cable.
Well, looking at Monoprice.com a few days ago, they several different mini-usb cables, some with 4, other with 5 connectors. I ordered 2 of each just to try with various devices I have, hoping some with work with the Focus's as well. Just charging would be fine with the Car, but want PC connection at Home and Work. (though BT works for that as well)
Anyone else? Lets see what we do about getting some inexpensive cables for these phones!
Every micro usb cable i have found (including one i got for 1.98 from amazon and one i got for 6.00 from frys) has worked just fine for all tasks
My cables came in today, this one works just fine. 5 connector mini-usb, soon as I connected to my PC Zune software launched and synched items.

Just over a buck a piece....
I guess I need to get some new cables. Good information.
The cables I got off Amazon for $3/each all work for syncing with the Zune software on my PC, but then, they're OEM, so they should even though they weren't made for the focus specifically. They were a bit shorter than the cable that came packed-in, but my chargers are pretty close to where I put my phone anyway, luckily, so that worked out.
The OEM connector is so short. I always need to connect an extension to comportably use my phone while its charging.
I cannot find my original micro usb cable that came with my Bionic. I bought one from Amazon that said it was compatible with my phone. However, when using it, my PC doesn't recognize my device. I hopped onto the Moto site and they seem to have generic micro usb data cables as well.
Suggestions?
This seems to be a common problem. I was able to get Motorola to send me a cable, VZ tried a couple of times both cables were not data cables (I don't blame VZ, I don't think they can tell what the cables are).
The Moto cable part number was SKN6378A.
(My LG Rev phone was replaced with a Bionic, the LG cable would not work on the Bionic).
My problem is simple, i'm tethering my Wifi Nexus 10 to my Galaxy S3 and the S3 just doesn't have the staying power of the tablet and the AP is battery intensive.
I have considered:
Extended battery (unofficial) - don't want the bulk.
Extended battery (official) - not cost effective.
The other option would be usb otg and charger cable but I'd like a single cable if possible.
To make it clear - I'm looking for a double ended micro usb (B) cable.
If anyone knows of a reason this wouldn't work please do say
You could use this adapter with your original cable to see if it dies the job.

I have the same setup (nexus10 and s3) let us know if it does work.
You could try monoprice.com. I get all of my cords and such from them.
eBuyer tend to be pretty good for this stuff.
Just FYI, I tried this using an OTG adapter and a standard USB-A to USB-B micro cable. Depending on which side I plug the OTG adapter into, the S3 charges the Nexus (when the adapter is plugged into the S3) or vice versa (when the adapter is plugged into the N10).
EDIT: It would be interesting to try though what would happen if one was to connect the four pins (VCC, D+, D-, GND) directly to one another, with the ID pin being left unconnected (since that is what a Micro-B to Micro-B cable would most likely do). My guess is that nothing will happen, since neither of the devices assumes a master/slave state and so it doesn't know that it should supply power to the other device. I guess I need to order some Micro-B plugs at Digi-Key and whip up a cable...

I am interested if anyone knows the specifics of the micro usb connector used in the LG G2. I am only asking since I mixed up a Motorola Droid usb - micro usb cable last night with the OEM LG cable and thought my 24A update screwed the usb connectivity completely. It was just a cable mixup but it bugs me that the majority of my existing usb cables don't work with the G2. I would understand if the G2 had been shipped with usb 3.0 but it is a 2.0 spec but obviously a slightly different connector spec than older micro usb phones like my older Droids. I like the better connection - more tight and snug feeling with the G2 and OEM cable but I'm not sure what kind of cable to order if I was going to buy more for emergency or travel purposes. Is the new connector usb 3.0 compatible but simply not wired to usb 3.0 transceiever h/w ?

I just picked up a $3.00 USB OTG cable with a fullsized female usb to plug in USB sticks to transfer movies for the guys are work.
OTG is fully supported on the G2, (even shows the plug n pop Graphics of a usb stick inserting.)
Sometimes however it can get a lil finnicky in regards to format however.
I always format my usb sticks on the phone in settings then its good to go.
OK, so the format of the cable is not usb 2.0 micro usb but actually OTG (on the go). I was not aware that OTG had a physical connector change in it's specification, I guess I thought it was simply an enhancement of capabilities of the current micro usb connection. It's wierd how some micro usb cables seem to interoperate OK with OTG and some other don't.
Sorry for the misleading nature of this thread, I simply had a usb cable that went belly up and may have been working intermittently before. I just tested with a plain vanilla .99c usb-micro-usb cable and it work absolutely fine. I imagine the micro usb connectors on these cables can get hosed pretty easily and the G2's female connector seems to be pretty sensitive (some female connectors can be that way
