I have a friend that good at Welding.
He spent two days to Transform this micro USB plugs.
Now, this mn2 is also work well on micro USB.
He can throw out the mn2's USB charger and just use the micro USB cable to charge mn2 like phone.
Amazing!

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.

I know this is a silly sounding thread, but I've purchased multiple USB cables lately all that seem to quit working after 1-2 weeks to about 6 months. It's very frustrating. So I was hoping someone might point me to a reliable cable. I was thinking of purchasing a left angled cable next because almost every place I use my charger it's located on the right side of where my phone will be. This'll be my first angled cable purchase and I want this to be a lasting solution so posting this for some feedback.
What do you guys use and how long does your cable normally last?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Grompy

I don't know the brand of one cable, but it's worked for me for a long while (using it now). The other one however is actually a Sony Ericson data/charging cable, and I haven't had much problems with that one either.

I use an HTC cable. It works perfect. I wish it was longer but eh.

The only USB cables that have failed me are those super thin ones, such as the one that came with the phone. These 28/24AWG cables from monoprice should definitely last.
I use a thick blackberry cable but any thick usb cable will do.
I've had the best luck with thick blackberry cables. Just picked up a Gigaware USB cable from Radioshack a couple months ago and it's been working great as well.
I have always had luck with the one that comes with the phone.
I got a cheap OTG cable, but it wont exactly fit on my S4, now, i cut the micro usb and connected it to my old samsung micro usb cable, and connected the 4 wires but its not working.
Now there's a lot of cheap otg cables but im afraid im gonna end up buying the same thing.
Please, if you guys got a working OTG cable, please post the link where you bought it from.
Thanks
I bought this for my Xoom but it also works with the s4, tested it with ps3 controller. Only thing is that it sticks out a bit meaning its not perfectly flush but it does work. $4.44 add on item for prime

Ive scoured the internet trying to find a solution. My USB cord fits really snug in the port but wiggles side to side as if it were really loose. What can I do to fix this annoying wiggle.
Also the phone charges fine its just wiggly.

I believe that just might be the make of the Nexus 5, as my phone does the same thing.
Oh OK ..whew well that makes me feel much better...thought I had received a bad one. Thnx

I agree - the usb charging port is very wiggly! Try another cable.
I'm using the charging cable that came with the phone and there is lots of play in the connector - both vertical and horizontal. I will often have my phone plugged in while working with tasker and it seems the usb cable easily works itself loose as the phone is moved around.
It's rather disconcerting. I'm going to try another usb cable to see if it's any better to try to see if the problem is the port or the cable. What is it like on YOUR phone?
OK - I tried another cable and it is MUCH better! The usb cable that comes with the charger is a very loose fit. Try some other usb cables and report your findings. I'm using the one that came with my kindle and it's a much snugger fit.
Hello,
I have noticed that my micro USB is pretty tight. I have to insert the charging cable with a slight angle and wiggle it a lot to unplug it.
Is this normal ?
Thanks for the feedback !

The charger that came with mine is also pretty tight but all other chargers I have used seem fine. Maybe it just needs to be broken in a bit? haha
Thanks. I just have used my kindle cable and this is indeed better !

Tight is better than loose. The cable keeps falling out of my N7.

The micro USB cable that came with the phone isn't what I would consider 'tight', although 'snug' seems more appropriate in my case. I definitely don't have to maneuver the cable into the phone to charge it, nor do I have to wiggle it a lot to pull it out.
I realize if you remove 'micro USB', 'cable' and 'phone' from my post, it could be taken WAY out of context...
Edit: Actually this is the case with this entire thread =P

Actually, it's been several years since I taught 9th graders so I don't often instinctively think "that way" these days! It was so second nature--especially with Shakespeare.
Thanks for the chuckle. (I LOVED 9th graders---really!)
Oh, and after reading this, it was REALLY hard for me not to reply (there) to your "Kind of a bummer but after the first time you should be fine" in another thread.
Mine is very snug but sure does charge fast!
Same here, my micro USB is very snug. I had some trouble with it multiple times, especially in the dark. I've sort of figured out the right angle to plug it in at now. Just not used to it being this difficult time compared to my old phone and nexus 7
