My (stock) USB Data and Charging cable from my G2x has finally stopped working. I have a couple of USB cables that will charge my phone from the AC wall plug in the meantime, but none of them do data transfer. Can anyone point me to an aftermarket data and charging cable for the G2x?
P.S. My apologies if this is not in the right forum.
Ebay? Get an OEM cable.

I've tried them before, it's how I have two cables that charge, but do not transfer data.
You can pick up the cable you need from Monoprice.
I have 3-4 of these cables, and they all work fine for charging and for data as well.
The PID's of the cables I ordered, and worked fine were:
5459:
10ft USB 2.0 A Male to Micro 5pin Male 28/24AWG Cable w/ Ferrite Core (Gold Plated)
($1.34 a cable)
5458:
6ft USB 2.0 A Male to Micro 5pin Male 28/24AWG Cable w/ Ferrite Core (Gold Plated)
($1.40 a cable)

I've gone ahead and ordered the 5459 SKU, because of the extra length. It'll be here in a by sometime next week at latest.
I bought 3 of these, they work great.

$1.99 each, and they are in the USA already haha.

The DZ has a Micro USB connector. No big suprise to a lot of people, I'm sure. But I have come from a Touch Pro 2, which had a Mini USB socket. So I've had to get some new cables (e.g. for car charger, retractable cable to carry around etc).
Of course the phone does come with a suitable cable for its mains adaptor, but some of you, like me, might like to have more than that.
This might help out those who want to keep using their mini usb chargers on micro usb devices.. it's only $2 and free shipping.
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.41527
Edit: This page has micro usb cables (including htc oem) for under $3 and probably usb wall adapters as well. There's also good deals at monoprice.com for the cables at least.
Can the transformer charge through a usb cable connected to a computer? Every time I try it won't do it (I'm plugging it into a usb 2.0). I can only charge by using the AC adapter. Anyone see this?
Only of the screen is off or the power is off, and even then it's very very very very slow.
So for all intents and purposes, no.
Why not charge it through power adapter?
For mobility, I ordered this:
charger cable extension (to make the USB charging cable longer)
USB 3.0 A male - A Female Extension Cable (10 feet)
Not really a asus accessory but for myself I ordered this mini surge protector with dual USB ports... being in south, we get a lot of lightening storms so this is a must (for bed-side and you don't want to buy huge surge protector). Plug into wall next to a PC or something:
Belkin mini surge protector dual USB charger
Hope that helps!

Let us know if that extender cable works for data and/or charging. Thanks!
it charges in 1 of 2 ways
USB [email protected]=10watts
Wall [email protected]=18watts
so, as you can see, the wall is the much more effective choice.

I have one of those Belkin units, they're very nice. But I can't find the specs showing the output on the USB ports. Is 15V @ 1.2amps a standard and this supports it? A bit ignorant about such things...

Charging through USB 3.0 from expansion card?
Has anyone try charging TF (& Dock) through USB 3.0 available from expansion card?
I have and it doesn't work but several people have tried and it does. Seems to be hit and miss as to whether it works or not. Even same usb 3 cables have different results.

There could be many things at fault here. First would be the usb 3 port and whether its on the mobo or card, and then i would put fault on the drivers (or not having installed them)
Why don't people want to use the charger that came with the unit? I can't imaging not using a unit with a least the same output (V & A) as the factory unit. Also, does anyone know if the pinouts track with what is coming out of a USB 2.0. It would not be too good to put power into the wrong pins.

No I mean to say that some people, including me, are trying to extend the charging cable by inserting a usb 3 extension cable between the mains charger and the tf.
It works for some, not for others
I just got this today.
If your looking for a Motorola Mini-USB to Micro-USB Charger Adapter.
Tried it on the G1 house charger and it showed it charging.
Tommorrow I see if it can get the phone to a full charge.
I tried it on my Motorola P790 Portable Charger, And it showed it charging.
On the next few day I see how much it can charger up the phone.

Data connection is possible with this adapter.

Yea I have a ton of those guys. Very nice
Back when MicroUSB was just coming about, my new phone had micro while my bluetooth headset and work blackberry used the older miniUSB.
Instead of buying all new chargers and car kits, I opted for those guys. Works great and an awesome solution. All of my data and charger cables are miniUSB with one of those bad boys on it. So I can use 1 cable for a wide array of devices.
Typically they are like $1.xx so buy them up.

Belkin and Anker cables recommended
My experience with Type-A to Type-C cables with my Nexus 5X:
I initially tried a 1m Bestek cable which was very inconsistent for charging and got returned. My suspicion is that it didn't meet the Type-C resistor spec.
I have had good experiences with a 1.8m Belkin cable (but v. expensive) and several 1m Anker cables (mid-price).
I ordered the revised Orzly cable last night from Amazon (the individual one, not the 4 pack - don't need that many right now). I know the Pixel C comes with a charging cable, but I wasn't sure if the power adapter was removable to use for data transfer. Either way, it'll be nice to have the extra cable as I'll keep the power one plugged in by my bedside and keep the other one with the other USB cables by my computer.
I'm thinking about getting this:
http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digi...d=1449677741&sr=8-2&keywords=Kingston+DTDUO3C
I already have a OTG cable that I bought for my Nexus 6P but this looks like it would be pretty handy on the go. Does anyone have any experience with this storage stick?
Got my Pixel C today (in UK) and can confirm the charger doesn't have a cable that removes :-\
Update 11/12 got a type c to c and type c to a data/charging cable today, the c to c works fine and the data transfer speeds are ace, approx. 30 secs per 1gb of data from pc to laptop on a usb 3.1 port and around 40 secs per 1gb the other way, this is the cable I got: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B014P2DBJA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
I also bought an A to C cable too, this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B011TH8BB2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 and no joy at all geting it to work as a data cable, tried using every type A port (usb 2 & 3) on my gaming pc and on a work laptop too, the Pixel shows as if it is charging for a split second then nothing. Tried to same cable with a numerous wall socket/chargers and same behaviour, so faulty/non-compatible cable I guess. Anyone have a link to a working type A to C cable (UK) please ?

I can confirm the Bestek A to C cables don't work well. See my post above for UK A to C cables. Belkin is pricey but excellent, Anker is mid-price.
Search for Benson Leung on amazon.com. He has tested many USB C cables.

Sorry missed your link before, I ended up with this Orzly one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B018F8BDFE only had the red one in stock! lol But to be fair it will stop me getting it mixed up with an old/standard one! Works great for both data and charging (using a wall socket with type a or via pc).
I have the red Orzly too, it smells like a chewing gum, from an outdoor vending machine. The tool CheckR told me that this one is not recommended using with the Pixel.
As I initially bought it for my 1+2 phone, I can't blame me too much in that case.
Can I use inbox typc c to type a USB + female USB a couples as a otg ? Will the type c resistor suits this config ?
If you are in Australia, I picked up one of these Belkin cables from JB HiFi, very expensive but been spot on for both data and charging the device

Play it safe and don't spend a lot of money. I recommend this USB A to C cable from Belkin F2CU032BT06, comes in various colors and it is USB-IF certified..
Can be bought for about $10 shipped http://www.ebay.com/itm/Belkin-MIXIT...W/322397095951
I also own this 6 pack and they have worked well with my Pixel XL and the Pixel C https://www.amazon.com/1-6ftx1-3-3ftx4-6-6ftx1-Hi-speed-ChromeBook/dp/B01MG36MBZ
I just ordered some of these https://www.amazon.com/CHOETECH-1x1-6ft-4x3-3ft-1x6-6ft-OnePlus/dp/B01N4E9AN6 and https://www.amazon.com/Cable-CHOETECH-Packs-3-3ft-Braided/dp/B01LX8GCZ5
Listed in this deal alert http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...-type-c-cable-multi-packs-sale-amazon-35-off/
Got in my Choetech 3pack and 6pack USB A to Type-C today. Man great sturdy build same as the C-C version. The braided is so nice, and transfer speeds on both cables are whopping fast! Good charging, tested several different brand OEM chargers. I ordered these after seeing they were on sale again on a slickdeals post and though I'd take advantage.
UPDATE: using the USB Device Tree Viewer application on Windows 10 I am able to see this cable is able to negotiate SuperSpeed on my ASUS Z97-A. Dirty testing transferring a 1GB zip file from the PIXEL C to my Samsung EVO 120 SSD it takes roughly 20 secs to complete. By comparison it takes twice as long in Highspeed USB ports roughly 42 secs to complete the same test. Similar results as my Belkin 3.1 ss10 cable.
I would like to buy a 10 ft wall charger for my pixel XL. Wasn't sure if it needed to be USB C to USB C or what so I can get the fast charging capabilities still. Anyone have any suggestions for longer chargers? The stock one that came with the phone just isn't long enough.

Does it come with the wall adapter? Because the only one I have has only usb c connection on it. The one that came with my phone.
I hear ya on the charger that came with the phone, they could have definitely made the cord longer.
I plugged it in for the first time and was like WTF . Barely reaches to a table.
Why not just use a cheap two prong extension cord and plug your charger into that?

It does not come with a wall adapter. You'd have to buy a USB -a adapter to USB -c or just buy another wall adapter.
I bought this
