hey guy do you know what place that sells cheap micro usb cable for hd2? thanks:
eBay. You can get em for like 2 bucks.
You can also get cheap, quality cables at monoprice.com
Buy.com & also Amazon has really good ones, and if you have a Prime account (for regular internet buyers) shipping is normally free.
I use monoprice for all my cables (HDMI, DVI, USB etc.)and have never had a bad experience.

Depening on if you ahve any mini-usb cables they make an adapter from ini to micro. only a couple dollars.
Also check C/L. I found one for $5, Ebay charged $1 + $3 shipping for the same thing.
I'm using the default Asus wall charger but my cable is breaking and going weird.
Are there any decent and cheap replacements on amazon/whatever available?
The few I've managed to find all have comments on how slow it made their Nexus 7 charge and they didn't recommend it
What should I be looking for to find a cable with decent charging rate?
The OEM HTC micro USB cables have worked great for my Nexus 7. I'm getting ready to order several more from online.

Authentic Logitech and Samsung usb cables work good.
Ditto for stock/OEM micro-usb cables from HTC, the ones that I owned have a sticker/label on the cable and the # DICMUSBT and Model DC1130 - OEM from Motorola from the pre-Android era worked just as good for me, YMMV.
Online vendors on eB*y such as eForcity dot com (NOT an endorsement, but has been buying from them for 10+ years) should net you quality items at a fair & competitive product and usually get them delivered w/ free shipping in 5 to 8 days, coast to coast.
Monoprice 24awg usb cables are the best I have found, when coupled with a quality ac adaper (or car charger).
After buying OTG cables from Amazon and eBay and having to wait for them to be shipped from China, with some not even working when they arrived, I've been looking for a good place to order cables from that isn't South-East Asia. I've been getting cables from Monoprice for awhile and love their quality and prices, and I finally found they had OTG cables for sale. I never realized they were selling OTG cables since they were buried under the "Cell Phone Accessories > MHL Adapters" sub-catagories for some reason, which makes no logical sense.
The cable is actually 6 1/2 inches, which is a whole inch longer than any other cables I have. All in all they work well
They cost $1.43, with Shipping&Handling being between $1.50-$2 to the US, and Shipping to Canada is between $3-$4. International Shipping prices are very expensive so I don't recommend Monoprice for anybody in any other countries other than the US and Canada.
You can find the cable at the following url:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?p_id=9724
Just thought I'd let people know of a good reliable place to get OTG cables from.
Thanks for the info
Thanks japzone. Just bought one. Monoprice is one of my favorite go-to places but I didn't think to look there. Thanks again for the info.
Hi all.
My original samsung charging cable has given up.
In fact it might have been a dud to start with as my phone took 6 hours ish to charge on a good day.
I am looking for a replacement but I understand that the note 2 uses a special cable and I can't buy a normal data cable.
Please could you recommend a good one that I could buy from the UK? Preferably from Amazon.
Thanks all.
You have a android phone not a crapple
You just need a micro usb cable
Should cost you around $1 on ebay
If you need the charger as well you want one with 2amps of output also very cheap on ebay

I posted this on another thread the other day. Another member had the same question.
I can recommend a couple of good options:
1. If you definitely prefer OEM, you can get one here, BUT, be sure to order specifically from the seller called AmazingSteals. Alot of other sellers are selling knockoffs. After reading a bunch of reviews on Amazon, I decided to order from AmazingSteals, and got a genuine OEM charger and cable. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009YDFX7Y/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
2. If you don't need OEM, check out this Anker. It's awesome. It has 2.0a and a 1.5a ports for simultaneous charging. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B8L36A6/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
I have both. Either will work great.
Sent from my Nexus 7
Thanks all.
So the cable doesn't need to be a special 2 amp cable?
The charge itself is 2 amp and isn't faulty so doesn't need replacing.

There is a difference in the cables supplied by samsung or electronics that need Alot of mah. Get one on amazon that is for electronics that have big batteries. If you have a good charger with bad cable you get the lengthy chargers. Takes too long... Trust me

What about the blackberry cables?
I have a spare one but it doesnt say what it can carry.
The BB cable should be fine. The only way besides an ohm test is to just use it and monitor the charging behavior.

Considering my Kindle cable charges mine just fine, I would say you're golden as long as you buy a well built cable. (Kindle obviously doesn't need a lot of current and seems like it is 20 feet long)

Will test and see how it goes.
Samsung cable charged 17% per hour and the blackberry cable does closer to 40% per hour.
Bonus.
I just got the anker dual port chargers. One for the wall one for the car.
Any recommendations for cables?
I prefer amazon since I'm on prime and I get a lot of gift cards from my cc company.
I got tripp-lite cables which wouldn't charge more than .4... I got 6 cables so it's not just one or two defective ones.
On amazon I don't see a cable with clean reviews.
In fact most cables and chargers that say samsung oem have reviews saying they are counterfeit. One would think amazon.com would guard against that.

Well, Amazon opened a door to any "merchant" so you can list anything you want under existing legitimate product
For cables, use only Monoprice stuff - http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Plated-24AWG-micro-B-Ferrite/dp/B003L18S0E/ - this cable has 24AWG rated wires which handle up to 3A of current and will charge Note 2 at full 2A speed. Plus, they have gold plated connector and ferrite filter bead. 6ft cable for $3.28 shipped - YOU CAN NOT BEAT THAT!!! That what I use at home and in the car for years now.
I also noticed there are some Monoprice with 28AWG only, those can handle max 1.4A so more appropriate for 1A charging. Also, be careful the seller is actually Monoprice because I noticed a bunch of shady vendors listed under that Monoprice cable listing.
Does monoprice ship overseas?

Not from US Amazon, you probably need to go to their www.monoprice.com website or see if Amazon in your country has Monoprice guys listed.
I would recommend the monoprice ferrite micro usb cables too. I bought 3 (6ft cables) and it charges all the gadgets at full speed (note 2, S3, tablets). It works so good people keep on taking mine. I had to buy 6 more. Also if you order from Monoprice directly it comes out to less than $8 for 3 6ft cables.

Thanks again Vectron, I saw lots and lots of reviews on Amazon that their Monoprice cable failed. Did it get better now?
I'm about to order one.
Order from the monoprice site not amazon it's cheaper

I've had very poor luck with these Monoprice cables ordered directly from them. They work great, for a short time. I ordered a dozen in both 6 foot and 10 foot length this summer. Since then, every single one has crapped out. They develop shorts or the connectors become weak and won't stay in the phone. It's a real disappointment as they work great initially and are a great price. My OEM cables are still going strong and get the majority of use. The monoprice cables lasted anywhere from 1 to 5 months. None longer. If it had just been one cable, I'd chalk it up to bad luck. But 12 cables is too many.
Note 2 cable repair
Samsung Note 2 charger is of 5 Volt 2 Amp and the data + charging cable is shielded cable, not the ordinary one. It takes lots of time if you charge through other cable or charger. One good thing about this USB cable, it is not soldered, it is crimped. So, you can repair it with little efforts.
There is a video on youtube for the same, As I am new in this community, can't post the link. You can copy the above text and search in google.
So I'm from South America and Amazon/MonoPrice won't ship to my country (Brazil).
Anyone knows a place with good quality cables that have international shipping?
Aliexpress, Dealextreme, etc... but with a USB-C compliant cable. I'm afraid that buying cheap-quality ones I'll be damaging my dear OP3
I have the original cable and charger, but I'd like to have some spares if I eventually break or lose mine.
Thanks!
I purchased my spare charger and cable from eBay, from a user named 2014flybear, his ad is titled Original Oneplus Dash Fast Charger US Adapter Type-C Cable For Oneplus 3 A3000. As far as I can tell, the ones I received are original accessories and are working perfectly.

This Google engineer reviews all models from Amazon. There are a lot of tech blog publications about him and his work.
I've bought mine directly from Anker through Alieexpress.
(I'm not allowed to post external links, yet. But you'll find them on Ali.)
These are original cables. They're having a sale on 11/11.

They raised the price just before 11.11. Usual price is that stated for 11.11. Funny...

That is true probably to make it look like a great sale!
Cable Matter and Amazon
Obviously Amazon is great because of the international support. Cable Matters is a great cable company.
