I read in other post that this phone comes packaged without a 'data cable'. I wanted to know if like I suppose, the phone needs this special cable to perform operations between it and the computer or if this 'data cable' is a common USB - microUSB cable.

Yes, the package doesn't have data cable shipped with it. However, you may use any USB to micro USB data cable for this. That should not be a problem.
Also, make sure to post the questions in QA section. You'll get better answers there.:good:
Ooops! My bad! I had several tabs opened with different forum threads and I wrote in the wrong one.
Thanks for the answer!
Mine got one in package, didn't know that they'd be shipped without one
this depends on regions/countries... on europe, most countries it comes with only with a usb cable, in france it comes with headphones headset, in india I guess it's with a charger, it depends...

This certainly seems to be the case as my UK XT1068 came only with the USB cable. On YouTube I have seen videos of people from different Regions/Countries with different variations of their box contents as described by onesolo.

hi
i lost my USB for PC cable for jabra bt 8010.
please help me, show me what cable i can buy to replace it,
it seems that it can use some other cable to replace.
could you help me
so thanks
could i use the USB for PC cable for BT330/BT500/BT800/JX10/BT 8040 for BT8010.
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.
Hey guys, I wanted to know if I can use another "universal" usb cable for transfer files to my note ( actually I know that is possible, I have already do it ), but I want to know if its safe (since its not the original).
Becouse its kinda annoying have to taking every day the usb cable from the charger to my computer to transfer files.
Thanks!
yes you can do it .
I ordered a bunch from ebay, but even the nice long cable that arrived with my Kindle works great.

Make sure the cable your ordering supports both DATA and POWER. I bought a couple of ebay before and it was only a power cable where it will only charge the Note but does not recognize the device
Hi.
I have broken a little the data cable(fisure in base of micro usb part)
Charging works but...i think it will break completely and i dont risk to flash roms with this fisure.
So where can i buy one original from htc? without a lot of expensive? I live in spain.
Thanks!

It's a standard Micro USB-B cable, you can use any standard compliant cable unless you're in for the *htc* bling. I use a blackberry USB cable for my HD2 and it works just as well as the one which came in the box with the phone.

Of course Micro Usb data cable is for all devices which support Microusb
Its just moving data so there some cables that dont have chargefunction but almost are not
Don't worry
I have Htc,Lg,Samsung usbcables and all of them works well while im flashing roms:laugh:
Does the USB port have any other function other than power?
Don't think so, only power AFAIK.
I plugged it into my computer and even tried pressing and pressing/holding the button on the Chromecast but my computer didn't indicate any hardware plugged in.
I wonder if the data pins are even wired to anything internally.
UPDATE: The USB cable that comes with it may not work for data transfer, tried it with my phone and it didn't work. So I tried a normal microUSB cable but still nothing.

It has bluetooth... so in theory that could be a simple alternative... we just need to figure out how to access hidden menus.

I tried this with a self powered USB OTG cable, just to see if the Chromecast would blink, bing, or do anything to show recognition, no dice. Also tried booting with a USB drive in, no difference.

Examining board
Based on examining the photos of the motherboard on ifixit.com...
Component EM1 appears to be a USB Common Mode Choke. That goes on the D+/D- pair which you can see routed from the USB port, so it wouldn't be present if there wasn't some use for data communication over the USB port. (Cost sensitive equipment.) The flip side of the PCBA shows TP1-TP20 (Where TP19 and TP20 appear to be GND). My guess is in that mix you have a JTAG port for programming/testing the unit initially with a pogo pin rig (evidenced by the dimples observed in each of those locations), and there might be more high/low GPIO pins where one might allow the unit to enter its USB data mode.

Looks like its already been rooted. With what looks like a dual usb otg. They don't go deep into what specific cable but, I would guess it is a generic dual usb one off ebay, or amazon, heres a quick one i pulled from amazon http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Cable-P...8&qid=1375052489&sr=8-3&keywords=Dual+Usb+otg
But if you read into it, they say you can root, but unless your a developer you probably wont get any benefit of rooting....yet, if at all.

Please correct me if Im wrong, but the cable you linked only charges the thumbdrive/keyboard/mice/etc NOT the Chromecast so how would one root it since it does need power from usb plug? I've been searching for correct cable and cant find it; link to correct cable would be greatly appreciated!!!

I own that cable from Amazon and it should work. It brings in +5v from a charger connected to the female microUSB port and then splits it to the female full size USB port and the the male microUSB port so both the USB host device and the USB peripheral device are getting power.

I also bought that powered OTG cable off Amazon and it will power the Chromecast as well as provide the means to flash the Chromecast via a USB thumbdrive. When you apply power to the Chromecast, it automatically flashed the bin from the USB drive. There was no interaction required (or even possible). Of course this was on the original firmware - if your Chromecast updated itself, you have lost the ability to root the device at this time.
Clearly the Chromecast does sense the USB drive and pulls data from it during the initial boot sequence. However I'm not sure if it would ever work for other devices such as keyboards or storage devices, etc.
I'm not sure why anyone would want to hook those types of devices up to the Chromecast however. Once you have root, you can telnet into the device, so adding a keyboard doesn't seem that important. The whole idea of the device is that you send it media from other devices and control it via that other device. Adding storage for example doesn't seem important since it can pull media off the network already (ie a NAS or another computer).
Anyway. That has been my experience with it so far. It's a long winded answer to more than just your question about the OTG plug.
I would personally love the ability to send audio out without having an hdmi TV be on through the usb somehow...

USB Tethering not working - SGH-i997
Hi all,
i have install Avatar 7.0 to my Samsung SGH-i997 from "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174227". it's look cool.
But when i am trying to USB Tethering, the massage shows as "Unfortunately,Setting has Stopped".
how to Fix this issue.
Is anyone else having issues with the connection to their note dropping in an out using a USBc - A 3.0 cable? I have tried several cables and at least two different PCs, and if I leave it connected, I will get the windows usb detached, and usb attached sounds, sometimes back and forth over and over again.
In some cases it does it constantly, but then I think it has settled down and do a large copy and it might drop during the copy.
So far it doesn't seem to be happening with an older USB2 cable using the micro to usbc adapter and I don't have the OEM cable right now to make sure it is not the aftermarket cables (two different cable manufacturers).
Just checking to see if maybe there is something I am missing before I reach out to Samsung.
Bob
Okay, the cable that came with the phone seems to work with no problems.
Has anyone had problems with USBc - USB A 3.0 cables? I find it odd that the problem was on two different manufacturers and multiple cables/computers. If quality is the issue, then how do I know what cables to buy? I sure as hell don't want to have to pay samsung prices for all my cables!
I've read somewhere here on XDA that the included cable with the Note 8 is actually USB 2.0. The one included with the Gear 360 is USB 3.1, so if you got the promotion for that you can try and see if that works.
After an hour on the phone, being asked the same questions over and over, going through 3 people plus the chat for support. Samsung tells me to use the USB 2.0 cable that came with the phone and that they don't support non Samsung cables! I posted on Their FB page and have received some encouraging replies. So hopefully they will either tell me what I am doing wrong or send me a new phone.
I would also make sure that the phone is not putting something to sleep that is causing that as well. I had this happen when I was transferring from pc to phone the first time. It wouldn't stay connected, would always drop. Problem went away after factory reset,but I transferred files before I did anything else the second time and had no troubles.

Could there be something putting it to sleep on USB3 and not USB2? I have tested quite a bit and the only difference is 2.0 vs 3.0.
And samsung is sticking to ONLY samsung cables are supported. WHAT?!?!? They include a USB 2.0 cable and tell me THAT is what is supported on their 3.1 capable connection??? I am so close to just sending the damn thing back.

i bought a few aukey usb 3.0 cables from Amazon, and use them effortless all the time with this phone..
Have you tried going into Device Manager > USB Root Hub(s) and disabling Power Management?
If you're performing a large copy, it's "possible" that the host (PC) "may" be dropping the connection.
As for the cables, I've used several brands without difficulties.

It was just a thought, the only time I had trouble was before the factory reset, and I did set up all the auto sleeping stuff to help with battery(turns out I didn't need to). I always have used the Anker branded USB 3.1 3ft cords for transfer from pc to phone. They seem to give the best speeds .I never really tried to troubleshoot,using different cords,problem just went away.

Two different, but related questions. First I asked if anyone was having problems. Very few replies. Next I was asking if anyone had success with 3.0/3.1, since Samsung is telling me they don't support any cable but their 2.0.

Samsung makes USB 3.1 cables. They were telling you to use those if you want USB 3. They would never, ever give tech support on random 3rd party accessories (especially with the glut of crappy Chinese ones), so asking them for help with other manufacturer's cables will be futile. They're not telling you to never use 3rd party cables, but that they can't possible troubleshoot every single random cable.

No one has told me where to find a samsung 3.0/3.1 cable. They are telling me, and giving me part numbers ONLY to the 2.0 cable that came with the phone. I specifically mentioned that they are telling me that I am restricted to 2.0 and no one is telling me how to get 3.0/3.1 speeds. I can understand them not supporting 3rd party cables, but USB is a standard, and I am testing with several different cables. I have ordered some expensive, since samsung has not, depite my request, given me a link/part number for a Samsun 3.0/3.1 cable, to see make sure it is not the cable. Right now it looks like it is the phone.
My Note 8 started dropping and picking up connection to usb with the original charger. I plug it in to charge and it connects and reconnects once and then fast charging is turned off or dropped and it doesn't fast charge anymore. I replug It in to see if I get a chance for it to get fast charging. It goes to regular charging. I don't see any damage in the port and have used 2 of the same cables. I will keep monitoring this event. Ive never had this happen to me before with S8+ and Note 7. It sucks because it charges so slow when it's not fast charging and I compared charging durations with my S8+ and it's charging slightly faster than My Note 8. I need more time seeing what's up with this. Help is welcome. Thank you.
