USB Data Cables

My OEM data cable was stolen or went missing while at work last week. I was tired of having to keep track of one data cable between work and home. So I went and bought 3 for each area I like to charge/data sync my phone (office,bedroom, and work office).
I found a US seller on eBay that shipped 3 data cables for the HD2/Nexus One for around 10 bucks. Upon getting them, I put one to my Home PC, one to my alarm clock in my bedroom and when I got to work, one in my work PC.
The data cable for my work PC had a error message saying

}
Once I got home I tried it out on my PC and same thing. I brought all 3 cables to work today and now 2 out of 3 have failed.
I emailed the seller and he/she would send out replacements which is awesome but... I'm worried.
I've been using these work PC's for over 3 years and they worked fine for data/charging on PSP, iPod, MotoRazr, MotoRizr, G1 and N1. Up until now, I haven't had a single problem.
So would it be they are cheap cables ($3 a peice) is it my N1 or are the work PC's both experiencing motherboard failures? Do are N1 require a certain data cable?

extremely unlikely that all of a sudden, multiple PCs are having hardware issues. those cables must be bad.

Cables seem bad...and expensive. I ordered 3 of these and they worked fine.

}
2 then you find Airsync this is where the cost comes in
3 now on you computer you will need double twist
PC: http://download.doubletwist.com/doubleTwistSetup.exe
MAC:
After launch Airsync on your Android phone
You will see
Note: numbers may Vary
4 on your computer type in you’re the number
Note:
Numbers may Vary
5 next u should see a screen like this
Note Phone name may vary
6 next click
And your done
Now to sync your Data
Go to www.dropbox.com

Or you can do it for free by getting Google Music and never sync again. Plus doubletwist desktop app is very buggy and is very prone to crashes.

I can attest to the doubletwist desktop app sync being buggy. I found it unusable.

I haven't found it that buggy but it is slow. It seems to take almost twice as long to move files about using it instead of cables . I only really use it if I can't be bothered to fetch a cable.

Kinda useless with the b0rked picture links. Cannot you just use attachments?

Mac version of doubletwist is fine for me. Never had any issue. I no longer us it though, instead I use isyncr

[Q] Using CDMA like a GSM telemetry link?

Hey guys, wasn't sure where to post this but I figured I would start here.
I want to know if I would be able to use something like a remote desktop or another way to retrieve data from a serial cable to a computer over the network.
I am on a Formula SAE team for my school and a member from last year had built a car computer for use of a telemetry link. I know he attempted to use his GSM network but T-mobile capped him so low to where it didnt really ever work right.
Right now I have a Sprint Epic 4G Touch. I was wondering if there was a way to link my phone to either the car computer or the actual CDS data acquisition system just to see live data coming from the car as opposed to logging the data and viewing it later.
I still have to boot up the car computer and see whats all on there as far as specs go but I did snap a few pictures.

Basically its just a serial port out from the data acquisition unit to the computer. Just seeing if there was a way to go from the computer to my phone for the telemetry option. Or if there was a way to fab up a serial cable or unit directly to my phone so I can see the raw data at a computer nearby.
Any information regarding telemetry would be much appreciated. Thanks!

30-Pin Dock Connector to Micro USB Data Adapter - CHARGE VIA USB!

Hey guys! Just a heads up on this USB adapter I snagged from USBfever:

IT ALLOWS YOU TO CHARGE VIA USB! It should, of course, be noted that it will probably not charge as fast as it would with the OEM charger or any 2 amp charger. But it does work. It didn't take long to get it (they ship from Hong Kong) and the price is worth it. I have also used it with my Sharper Image portable power pack with success. May have to get myself another one as a backup.

I bought the same one...
Also bought the SD/USB adapter and pickup a original galaxy tab dock for gen 1 model for a fiver down the market,
The dock is a tight fit but I dremeled a slit down the side so it fits much better....

MUST HAVE it too

I have one of those too, but is too tight of a fit for me to dare use it. That's not necessarily representative for other units though, as these chinese accessories don't exactly match up from batch to batch

After some more use I've discovered that while it will let me charge via usb it will not actually recognized that it's connected to a computer. But it was still worth not to carry that big block around with me.

Thanks buds but the link to the driver is stale & not sure what its called do you have a name or a good link ? Oh and do you know where the maskrom short would be ?
TY

Also does anyone know where these pins go to on the board ? The traces are gone & shining a high powered light thru the board doesnt show anything that they were connected to..
