Can anyone recommend a long (6' +)USB cable that's compatible with the Touchpad? I bought a 6' from Ebay, but it was crappy. I could not use it to connect to PC, and the charging takes longer than the normal USB cable that came with TP.

I just posted that I found a compatible 6' cable (actually a pair of them at Meritline for $4.99 after using the discount code). The description on Meritline says that the cable they're selling is compatible with the Evo.

Let me know if the code still works.
The Meritline link is for HDMI cable, not USB. I was not able to find any micro USB cable there that say it's compatible with the EVO.
The Walmart product comes with a 5' USB cable. I think that's sufficient for me. Thanks!
This one from Amazon has been flawless for me.
Sorry, can't post links. Search B006DCSUB0 . That is the ASIN# on Amazon.
Exactly the one I was going to order. Glad it works!

Hi,
Did you buy this kind of converter?
If yes, where did you buy it?
I found this one:
http://www.fommy.co.uk/view-full-page.asp?skuno=83010
But I am not sure if this can be used to sync data or disk drive mode.
I also found this one:
http://www.pdaplus.nl/catalog/adapter-mini-usb-micro-usb-p-4165.html
Please share your info
Thanks.
The first one looks similar to the one that I got from eBay. It charges fine with my HP data messenger (or whatever it's called) but doesn't charge with the Desire unless I "wiggle" it about.
I bought mine here http://cgi.ebay.nl/MINI-USB-TO-MICRO-USB-ADAPTER-FOR-HTC-DESIRE-HD-MINI_W0QQitemZ110509230074QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_MobilePhones_MobilePhoneAccessories_MobilePhoneChargers?hash=item19badd07fa
But it seems that I can only charge my Desire with my USB cable + converters. It doesn't sync, I tried several of my USB cables.
Yeah I bought the ecell adapters and have the same problem, they only charge. Sent them back for a refund.
I did also get a usb cable from them usb to micro and that works ok, albeit a bit slow. Takes about 15secs to recognise its a drive. Seems to copy files across at a decent speed though.
Anyone had success with mini - micro usb adapters
I am going to buy this:
http://shop.brando.com/mini-usb-to-micro-usb-adapter-w-on-off-switch_p04160c0006d001.html
From the specification, you can charge AND sync !
And it is only $6 + $3 delivery cost (worldwide).
im new to usb phone, all previous have had proprietary connection
will any mini(or is it micro) usb cable work?
in other words can i get it from a pc shop and save $20 over vzw prices?
Micro usb cable, and yes

I would recommend monoprice.com or amazon. You can get a stack of micro-usb cables for <$10 normally.

Generic charger will work fine as long as the plug is Micro USB. Never buy cables in stores unless you're cool with 1000% markup

no markup if you know the right people in a local shop
not so fast
So you SHOULD be able to use any old usb cable, but its not always the case. I tried to use my Kindle USB cable on my fascinate and it DID charge it, but would NOT allow me to mount the SD card on the host computer. On closer inspection it LOOKS like the cable wouldn't go in all the way. Tried a differant cable and it worked fine.
The odds are that any cable WILL work, just sayin that sometimes...
I got a couple micros today from
monoprice and they don't sit all the way in but are enough to transfer if you don't bump the phone. My plan is to file or dremel the plastic head a little this weekend.
The receptacle is recessed just far enough to keep the plug from fully engaging.

My kindle cable works.. It's the latest Kindle, not sure if yours is older or not. It doesn't sit flush, but as long as you're not playing catch with the thing while it's plugged it's fine. I do all my adb work over that cable.

same issue here. I get all my cables from monoprice. Too bad the micro head is too fat, but filing it down is a good idea. I need to try that.
This one (OEM Samsung, but from another model) is cheap and works fine.
Can anyone direct to a USB cable that works for this phone but is longer then the stock.

Check out monoprice.com. I have ordered multiple cables from them. Good quality at a reasonable price. I have a 6ft micro usb to usb that I use now. Works just as good as the stock one.

Ditto on the suggestion for Monoprice. It's the only place I buy this sort of thing.
But that aside, if you can't find what you're looking for and want a REALLY long cable, you can easily find regular USB extension cables. Like 6 to 15 foot extension cables. Then you can plug your short micro USB cable that fits your phone into the extension.
Thx because the one that comes with the sensation is just to short I wish they made a micro USB to stand USB adaptor that would be great so I could have my phone charge via AC and it actually reach my desk.

Basically any USB to USB-Micro B-type cable will work.
I have an adapter cord, for USB usage,I normally use it on my computer.
Yup, monoprice is where its at. I got my 16 ft long cable for a couple bucks. It was definitely worth it.
what do u do with a 16 footer? i just want to sit in the back of the car while my wife drives
i'll second Amazon basics. i have a couple of their usb cords and they are great.
+1 monoprice

Heya,
I have a tablet stand and the cable delivered in the box doesn't fit under the tablet when on the stand.
That's why I'm thinking about purchasing an angled USB OTG cable.
But here's the thing:
Other OTG cables doesn't seem to work? I already purchased a normal OTG cable (just like the one which was delivered in the box), but that one doesn't function.. Do I have a faulty one or will the out of the box OTG cable be the only one which works properly?
Hi
I bought a few cheap ones on ebay. Angled or straight and all work well on my A700 or Galaxy Note.
Just one decided to die after months in my pocket near knife and keys but that's my fault
I guess you got a faulty one.

Turn the tablet upside down, problem solved!!!!
@Itchiee, possbile, but ugly. Also, I don't think that works with every app out there. Was also curious if somebody else experienced this problem.
@laloutre, thank you for your reply. I think it is a faulty one then It didn't work either with my phone, but I guessed it didn't support OTG. Stupid online company. I also bought a usb hub there which also didn't work..
There are USB connectors/adapters out there that are not specified as OTG compliant; these won't work. I got my OTG cheapie from Amazon & it works perfectly:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B005FUNYSA/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new
Most of the dealers are Hong Kong but a few are in CA. Worth the $2.
Does anyone know where you can buy good quality Usb 3.0 data cable for S5.
I bought two from amazon (AmazonBasics USB Cable - 3.0 A Male to Micro B (6 Feet / 1.8 Meters)) but they are not working for me,
on one cable connector is to thick for phone to plug in and when i plug in the other in to a PC nothing happens ( using original Samsung cable connect phone to PC just fine.)
Thanks
I know nothing about these but I was watching a review and this guy said it worked perfect for his s5. May I ask what is the purpose of these cords

weird..I have 2 diffrent usb 3 data cable from external harddrive and it works just fine
Keep an eye on monoprice.com they have the best deals on cables for sure and they are always high-quality cables. I don't see the USB 3 to micro on there just yet though.
Just sent them an email to see if they plan to carry them (i'm sure they will) and if so when they might be available. I'll post their reply.
You just go amazon or ebuy and throw your word "USB 3.0 data cable" And i think you must be select good reviewer product. and i think you can find a good 3.0 data cable from ebuy and amazon.. Just search your item..
