Nexus S USB Port Replacement Part - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a replacement for a USB port on my Nexus S. So far I have found:
(I'm unable to submit links since I am a new user): ebay item "5x Replacement Micro USB Charging Plug Samsung Nexus S i9020 S5570 Galaxy Mini" $22
I was looking for more information about the actual USB port, such as pitch and layout so I could buy it directly from places like mouser/digikey (electrical part suppliers). USB ports should cost about $1 each in quantities of 1.
Thank you,
Alan

Your best bet would probably be eBay and get one of those HTC 7 Pro/HTC Arrives that are being sold with bad ESNs as "parts only" (should be cheaper than the other auctions/buy-it-nows).
Thank your for you input but I'm afraid that is not an option as there are rarely any faulty 7 pro for sale.
I'm looking for an usb port like this one only reversed.
edit:
its called Reverse Mount Micro USB Charging Port Connector and it appears to be the same as desire z / g2

Proper USB charging cables

Hey!
Found this forum as I was looking into why the h*** my USB chargers didnt charge my new S4 :silly:
This thread helped me a lot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274321
But one question remains unanswered:
Where to find a decent USB cable that serves same ammunt of current as the original charger+cable?
I feel a need for a longer cable than the 1M delivered with the phone.
First I tried a cheapo 3M cable, unshielded=300mA
Then a shielded 3M=600mA
Cut the shielded 3M one into a 70cm cable, and did not connect the shield=1900mA, just as the original cable.
Is it really so that any cable more than 1M long cannot be used if I want to achieve the full amps?
Or is there a good quality cable 2-3M out there just waiting for me to find it?
From my experience of buying Micro USB cables for use whilst driving and charging the phone.
All apart from the supplied Samsung cable are useless and don't deliver the 1900 mah charge.
I have lots of Mini USB cable or various lengths which I don't use any more.
So, I decided to buy a micro to mini USB adapter.
I bought it from Amazon UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mini-Micro-Adapter-Charger-Converter/dp/B008CAH5NA/ref=sr_1_1/275-7996231-0241748?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1373119829&sr=1-1&keywords=micro+to+mini+adapter Other suppliers will have them.
It works perfectly on any mini cable I attach it to, cheap retractable's to long length cable, giving 1900 mah all the time.
I've since bought another 2.
If you buy one of the above, you might need to remove some plastic from the end that fits into the phone, as it can slip out of the phone when tugged.
That only effected the first one I bought, not the other two.
It's easy it fix, just use a sharp knife in the joint seem of the plastic, to separate both halves, file off any excess plastic and close the plastic case around the metal work, it will relock into place.
In my opinion, for the price it's worth buying at least one.
I found a 10' cable (~3M) that charges at the same 1.9 rate as the stock cable.

You might want to consider monoprice. Have used their HDMI cables for years. Got a buddy in TV for 35 years who has used their cables at the network forever. They're also very reasonable. Their premium cable (6ft) will set you back $3 US +shipping.

Of topic, but 10' is ~3M.

LMAO, I knew that. Not sure what I was thinking when I put 1M in there.
Thanks for your replies!
First of I have ordered some of the adapters mentioned.
And for the cables.. Live in Norway, so tried to find some sellers who ship here...
Seems like I need to look more into that after my vacation :silly:

I just got my S4 and my existing set up does not deliver the needed current. I am not surprised the existing cable did not work since it was a flat wire that I pulled from a retractable setup. It looked nice running up my dash. Now I have to find a replacement. I only need about 50 centimeters or about 20 inches.
Any suggestions?
Mediabridge micro usb 2.0 cables on Amazon are high grade cables. I've purchased a couple of them.
I'll find a link for you.

They have a couple of sizes. I purchased the 6 foot cables.
*Note:
Not all cases accept the size of the usb connector though, as it is slightly larger than the stock cable, without notification.

USB Type C Data Cable from Best Buy (or other local shop)

so, i'm seeing some posts about the wrong kind of USB-C cable frying devices. three questions.
1 can anyone recommend a good USB-C to A cable for data? my computer doesn't have c, and i want to be able to access adb and root and all that jazz.
2 are there any cables that allow charging safely? i hate proprietary chargers, and the one they provided is way to short. Answered
3 i see everyone ordering from amazon, but I live down the street from best buy. i'd rather just go buy one now. i don't want to go ask an empoyee because they may not know which cables work, so i'm asking here in case anyone has bought one from a big box store.
More than likely the only one you'll find at Best Buy is the Apple branded one, which works just fine but is over priced.
The only other USB C cables I've seen there have been various adapters.
I have a "j5create" brand USB A Host adapter from there that works just fine. Only reason is that I used to have an employee discount, otherwise almost every accesorry at that store is overpriced.

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..
Best Buy has them for $20 but can be bought for about $10 shipped http://www.ebay.com/itm/Belkin-MIXIT...W/322397095951

CHOETECH USB-C to Micro USB Adapter

Hi everyone, thought I would share this with you all. I have in the past had problems when it comes to not having my type c cable with me, and it seems all my friends only have micro USB cables which aren't much use to us 6P users.
I was offered to review this product by Choetech, and am very happy to say that this is a great solution if you have forgotten your cables.
They are type-c to micro USB adapters which can be attached to your key ring, and do not take up any space whatsoever!
I have attached the link here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-CHOETECH-Connector-Keychain-Resistor/dp/B01ICPPHGQ/ref=nav_ya_signin?ie=UTF8&qid=1476191615&sr=8-2&keywords=choetech+usb-c&
The email for the contact at Choetech is [email protected], if you contact her she will offer you items to review for a very well discounted price on the items.
Hope I have helped some of you out!
I bought a package of 6 cables from choetech and they are extremely well made. Works for data too when connected to PC. Good thick cable and OEM looking ends. Well worth the small amount of cash I paid. ( amazon on special )
I will have a boo at those ends Thanks.

Pretty much get most of my accessories from these guys
I got a pack of these for a honest review and although I haven't used it much my colleague has borrowed it off me many times to charge his LG device due to not having a spare USB Charging cable at the office. He cannot fault the device and says it still charges pretty quick albeit not as fast as USB C to C but that is to be expected.
They are nice and small enough to fit on a keyring and not loose easily.
It's nice to know that should I forget a USB C charging cable that I can rely on keeping this with me as it's on my keys and my friends all have at least one Micro USB cable lying around so i can always rest easy knowing i have a charging solution.
Again i'm impressed with Choetech especially considering before my Nexus 6P I had never heard of them , but they really are good value for money, designed well and seem to be pushing at our limited accessory market which is a massive plus as this is the 2nd accessory i've bought and can happily say i will continue to buy more from them.
