Hey, recently while at a friends house my factory charger got chewed up by his dog. In a rush I purchased a blackberry branded charger, with a universal adapter and bought the micro USB add on. It charges fine, but will not recognize the phone when connected to my computer. Should I attempt to buy a higher quality 1 piece cord or do i require the factory cable to transfer data? I would just purchase the factory one but I would have to order it online and thats a bit of a hassle for me.
Thanks
edit:You can delete this, My friend lent my a 1 piece cord and it works like a charm. Thanks.

Starting to have problems with my USB Connector i think!
Basically, if i plug it in, nothing happens, doesn't charge!
If i wiggle it around and hold it in a set place, it starts to work/charge.
Im guessing this means there is a problem with the USB port on the mainboard of the phone?
Hell yeah, seems to happen alot in x10. That's what happened to me, then it fried my battery and wouldn't connect at all to charger or PC. Had to send it off for repair, luckily still under warranty tho. They fixed it, I now take real care when connecting.

Think it could actually be my charger!
Just tried my brothers Blackberry charger, same connection. Plugged in works fine, no waggling needed at all!
Im guessing maybe the connection on the inside of the cahrger is dying or, the hole in the charger has gotton a little too big and doesn't fit snugly in the X10 anymore!
Be carefully using blackberry charger, runs different volt/amp and wont do your battery much good in long run. Get a new Sony charger.

I'm curious as well. I thought that something was wrong with my phones USB port as I have to wiggle it around before it connects (very loose connection). tried plugging my phone in with other cables (blackberry and arc) and it stayed connected fine. Friend of mine plugged her phone in using my cable and it did the same thing as it does with mine. It's reassuring to know it's not the phone as that would be expensive to fix, the cable on the other hand is cheaper If you find one let me know.
Sorry, I seem to have lost the little tag on the USB cable that shows the model number.
Hi,
I have "datacable by OTB" which also charges my nokia for a few bugs from EBay. Every cable with mini- (micro-?) usb should do.

Asked my friend, Model Number is EC600L
Ye any micro USB cable will work.
Some people prefer OEM
It's a feature! micro USB was intentionally designed so that the cable will wear out rather than the jack.
On another thread it was suggested that biting on the end of the cable tightens the cable allowing it to connect. I seem to have revitalized my old original cable though I substituted a pair of needle nose pliers for my teeth.

If you really want a model number I recently bought an OEM cable for a spare for work etc its labelled CA-101
As above though its a standard micro usb cable ...
(used this cable recently to flash and then reflash my x10i after killing my phone with various patching and the cable works great lol!)
Note I also use a Nokia mains charger for my spare work charger as that's all the guy had on his stall and it works just fine
I have the Nokia CA-101. ill check the OEM one when I get home. but I like the Nokia OEM one. it's longer :3

I am using an BB micro-USB cable as my alternative cable which cost me MYR10 around 3USD. Bought from a local Computer shop. Mobile phone shop sell at higher price.
Notice that the stock cable charge my phone bat. will reach @ 40'c while the BB micro-USB cable will above 40'c. Maybe due to the stock cable having 'resistor' locate near the both end of the cable meanwhile the BB micro-USB cable don't have.
So I was charging my phone and using it at the same time...and the charger doesnt stay in. its so loose....anyone else have this problem?
When my wife and I first got our Captivates her connection was really loose and would fall out. It turned out to be the plug itself, so maybe you can take it back to where you bought it from and ask for a new one.
This is my third Samsung android phone (captivate and nexus s), and it seems to be a common issue. I think its the cable though, as an HTC cable is nice and snug.

Have you tried plugging in another cable yet? Micro USB is a pretty common cable these days.
No problems with loose connections here.
In MicroUSB, the springs are moved from the device to the cable - so try another cable.
Is anyone else having problems with the charging port not staying tight? When I first got the phone the original charger worked fine. Over time it loosened up, and I understand that. But it got to the point where it didn't charge. So I've been using an old cable. I went to Verizon the other day and took the original cable with me and they exchanged it for a new one(their brand of course). Well the other night, the old cable I've been using to transfer stuff to my phone is to the point where if you move it any it disconnects from computer. And tonight the new cable I got a couple days ago is loose. it's still working though. When I first got it it fit tightly in there. I've been extra careful not to pull it out at any angles or anything.
Try this cable
Try this cable. Works very well for me. Search ebay for:
Lot 5 White New Original OEM HTC High Quality DC T500 ExtMicro USB Cable Charger
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 5.0, and lately it won't charge naturally (it doesn't charge when you just plug the USB cable to the port and to the wall), but you need to charge it a certain angle (eg move it until you hear the charging sound but afterwards it won't charge when you remove it!)
I have the original Samsung adapter that came with the SGP Box, but I replaced the original USB cable with another one because of the charge-at-a-certain-angle problem. I changed my USB cable thrice now, but the problem persists.
The weird thing is, it charges perfectly on a BLACKBERRY CHARGER. Although the problem is still there when I charge it with the BB charger, it never got to the point where I had to apply so much pressure on my tablet.
I just want to know what is causing this problem and a solution. I can't always use the BB charger since my sister brings it with her to school everyday. -_-
I had the same problem with my Galaxy SI. I was forced to place a book directly under the usb cable so that the phone sloped downwards. I had different luck with different usp cables. My girlfriends usb cable -that was relatively new worked fine as it sat quite snuggly/tight. Others, new or old, that did not sit as tight did not work.
Take you phone to a PC hardware store and test a few.
Hopefully you will find that it is the usb cable that is worn and not the inside of the phone.
Thanks, I'll try that out!
