As far as i know, all USB cables are the exact same...
There is definitely a difference in quality, but I haven't had any problems sticking with any supplied cable. I did have some issues with my 3 for a dollar eBay crap, and my walmart brand cable though.
Edit, by supplied cable i mean any cable from a known manufacturer. Amazon brand cables seem to work fine for me, usually i use that or my old motorola cable.
I use my old Motorola cable because I got my GS3 as an exchange from Verizon. I have also used my kindle fire cable and noticed no difference. As said above a crap 3 dollar cable may not but the other should.

HI guys im wondering where can i find the best hdmi cords for my G2X phonw. I recently ordered one in amazon and arrived today but wasnt the same connection to my phone :/. Im pretty pissed off since was up for it, so now im posting this thread to see if any one can direct me to some good hmdi cords of the G2X? thank u for ure help.
i orderd an iogear cable from newegg it was like 12 buck free shipping. Works perfect. sorry cant post links yet
I got a 6' cable for $3 after shipping from Amazon. I should get mine in a couple days. It said it was for G2x; I hope it fits my phone!
whatever you do, stay away from the monoprice cables.. There are multiple posts about their cables frying the phone.
To input my two cents, don't buy a cable that reads gold plated or anything of the like. Off the top of my head I can think of Monster Cables. I don't know about MicroHDMI and Monster Cables.
Why? Well, digital cables only need to pass 1s and 0s (i.e. binary). Back in the day with analog cables, the wires used in cables really were effective. Nowadays, simple silver will get the job done the same as gold-plated / gold-tipped / dipped-in-gold cables.
I have a 3 part response to the post above.
1. Used to work at Circuit City, and we were, pretty much told to push cables, and that type of accessory. Why? Because the cost on say a 4" RCA Video cable was $7 when they would sell them to customers for $70. Yup. I purchase a $70 dollar Top of the Line Monster Cable Video only RCA cable back in the day for $7 bones. Cables are a big business.
2.Plenty of people, I know that work at electronic stores, say that when purchasing a HDMI cable, you don't need to spend anything more than $20 bux.
As long as its under 14'.
3.Silver is actually a better conductor of electricity than gold. I don't know how much better, it actually is. The reason they don't use Silver for plating cables and such, is becuase it oxidizes. Gold doesn't.
I order all my cables from monoprice.com

In what way did it not fit? Micro HDMI is Micro HDMI there is not varying versions its all the same size. Now if you are saying the surrounding rubber wouldn't allow you to plug it into the socket I can understand but the actual socket is all the same.
I have a problem with all my usb cables. They all worked fine, then they started to become loose where I had to wiggle it to charge. I then brought another one, it wotked perfectly fine, very stable. Now after like a week or two it started to become a loose. I could wiggle it around easily. Now my other usb cables dont even charge. I tried it on two other phones and its the same thing. Any ideas?

Is that the only way? I brought my new one from ebay. Are there any other places?

A common problem with micro USBs from what I've experienced. I'm saying it based on both my wife's Vibrant and my G2x. I bought the replacement originals from each company but same results.

I buy all my cables (cat5, hdmi, usb, coax, etc) from Monoprice (add a .com to the end - I am still a newbie so can't post links) whenever possible. Great quality at very reasonable prices.

Monoprice.com FTW. The ONLY place to get cables online.
I ordered one from amazon made by amazon and it charged for like two seconds and never worked again but it works with all my other electronics. I need an extended charger the for the stock one is too short.

If you just want a 6 foot extension , then you can use this USB 3.0 cable between the PS and the smaller transformer cable:
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-6-Fe...CAQ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320543979&sr=8-1
is that one confirmed to ne working because like i said i bought the amazon branded one and its a no go
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Think it has to be 3.0 cable for it to work as it requires more connections
return and get a 3.0 cable to see if it works for you. the only reason i could say that it charged is because it could be asleep meaning it charging from pc.

Get the official Samsung one and don't mess around with any of the third party ones. It's expensive, but from everything I've read it's the only one that really works. Make sure you get the 11 pin for the S3, NOT the 5 pin.

Yeh that's the one I bought awhile back but its crap, every few seconds it drops out.

Are you sure it was the official Samsung one? I only ask because I ordered what was advertised as the official one on Amazon but it wasn't.
I actually ended up getting a mini hdmi cable for my old Droid X to hook up to the tv since it was cheaper and it works great.

Gentlemen
I have forgotten my charger at home and won't be back for a few days but I need my tablet for class. So I ask do I have any options? Or do any local stores carry the cable?
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
I would try the local Best Buy store.
I'm not 100% sure, but maybe nexus7 cable can work. And if that can be confirmed, you're more likely to find that at staples, best buy, etc.

Note that you still need the TF charger - with standard 5 volt USB, it may take more than 24 hours for a full charge.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think the N7 has the same charger, since I believe that uses a regular micro USB.
Why wouldn't you check caseen. They seem to have TF chargers in stock on their website.

Ahh, thanks for confirming.
I wasn't entirely sure and was basing it on the fact that n7 also built by Asus and that my zagg power supply will only charge my phone and not tablet.
Only after buying zagg power and trying to use it unsuccessfully for tablet, I saw it said online that it won't work with n7, but they didn't mention our tablets, so I thought same cables etc. Oh well, good to know. Now I've just realized I've never seen (irl) or played with a n7 yet, wow.
Good luck op!

I haven't found any local stores that carry any accessories when my cat chewed up mine. Amazon has a few different brands. There is one that houses the wires in rubber instead of the normal plastic that I liked. Its also 6' long which is nice.
