I have 4 different micro usb to usb cables and though they all charge the phone, only the cable that came with the phone will establish a data connection with my laptops/desktops and with kies (not air) on these computers.
i have searched and read but not found any information on this. if the cable is not proprietary to the phone, any idea why this would be happening?
btw, I have also tried usb to micro usb gender changers on many existing usb cables and the same problem exists...only the cable that came in the box will establish usable data transfer connections.
sorry if this has been asked and answered before, i cannot find it. if so, a referral link will be greatly appreciated.
thanks all

Really? I have 3 from my old HTC phones, and 2 from my Amazon Kindle and all 5 work just fine to charge (from wall or computer), and establish data connection (from computer).
I will say on my iMac I had issues because the type of internal powered USB Apple went with on the 2009-2011 iMacs, some models have data communications issues and the only way around it is to use a different computer with a non powered usb hub internally. Seems any other macs they offer besides this particular model work fine as I have no issues w\ my MacBook Air 2011 or my Mac Mini 2011
yep... really. and that is on three different laptops and two different desktops.... all running windows 7 ultimate or professional (and one windows 8 developer preview). also i have bypassed powered hubs to test... still only the significantly heavier samsung cable the only one to work. btw, thanks for your uber quick reply

I'm wondering if your phone might have a bent pin or jenky config setting in the software somehow, that's just so strange.
If you plug in the non-sammy cable into the wall charger, does it charge?

And it probably goes without saying, but are you going into wireless, usb, data connection and enabling it before plugging in? You're on stock rooted I assume? Have you tried any other ROM to see if maybe it's something in your existing ROM that is messed up?
I'd be annoyed too, cause I travel weekly and leave 1 cable home, carry one in my laptop bag, and one in the bag that goes in the overhead bin in my roller-board. If I had to buy 3 samsung branded cables I'd be pissoff'ed hehe
yes the sammy cable charges from the wall.
the sammy cable makes a connection whether or not i enable usb before i plug it in or not.
when i preactivate the usb connect with the sammy cable i get the android usb connected screen. when I do it with any other cable i get a message that says: "attention, usb is connected, remove the cable" uber confused
any i am stock. havent yet rooted.
I've had this problem with my captivate. My friend gave me a micro USB that didn't make a data connection but charged my phone. and what I learned was the cable came from a third party vendor and just doesn't establish data because of the type of cable. If it comes for a phone (used HTC cable to flash my cappy) or some type of other device that needs data it will work. third party cables just charge from what I learned.

After 3 hrs on the phone with att customer ser, tech support, and the warranty dept (2x) the best anyone came up with was, as u said, notall micro usb ard the same. I found an adapter that may hhave come with phone (female full usb to micro) that worked with a regularlarge usb double ended cable, that also worked, this is most likely a cable problem. What I need to find is a reliable source of data friemdly usb to micro cables. thanks for your reply

Hi everyone,
and thanks in advance for any help / advice that you may have for me.
I'll start off with my question, before I unload all of my information. I simply would like to know exactly what type of USB Connection the Sony Tablet has, and therefore, what specific USB Cable I need to buy in order to connect it to my PC running Vista.
I bought a Sony Tablet and have been surprised the lack of information in regards to the USB connectivity of the device. Specifically, the exact 'cable type' required to connect the device to a PC. Everywhere I have read so far, it simply says USB Micro, or USB 2.0 micro. But when I try use the micro USB cable that I currently use with my Xperia Play phone (which works fine for PC transfer with the phone) it's doesn't work at all with the Sony Tablet. It doesn't even register on the PC when I plug the cable into the tablet. Just nothing.
Since then, I have read a lot about USB, and found that there are different types, like 'Mini USB' versus 'Micro USB'. Apparently there is also Micro USB 'A' and Micro USB 'B'. And finally, apparently there is 4 pin micro usb and 5 pin micro usb type.
hope this all makes sense, many thanks guys.
Austab.
This tablet uses micro USB, I'm pretty sure the cable for your Xperia should work fine with the tablet. Perhaps you plugged it in upside down?
Thanks for the reply, I agree with your thought train. If it works with the Xperia, then surely it should work with tablet. I'll try it again after work today, and confirm. Is it actually possible to plug the cable in the wrong way around?
I'll kick myself if I did! Thanks again, cheers.
Austab.
It cannot be plugged in upside down, unless you use extreme force and break it.
***
But yeah, this cable *should work, if it works with your Xperia Play. In principle there is only one kind of micro-USB cable (well, actually it could have either regular type A *OR micro type A connector at one end, but let's keep it simple. Mini-USB is a different kind and A and B are just connector types.
See this picture with different USB connectors:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Types-usb_new.svg
Your cable should have a regular USB A connector (the one on the top left) at one end and micro-USB B connector at the other end (the one on the bottom right).
Yeah, it should work; I'm using the same USB cable that I use with my Xperia Arc.
For what it's worth, I've been having issues too. Mostly windows fails to find the drivers and install them. I've talked to multiple Sony reps and have tried multiple computers but haven't had any luck. Maybe it's a bad cable but I have had Windows detect the device...just unable to install the plug-n-play drivers.
Systems I've tried it on:
Custom built - Windows 7 with Service Pack 1
Dell - Windows XP Service Pack 3
Sony Vaio Laptop - Windows XP Service Pack 3
I had the same problem on both of tablet P and tablet S. I can tell you, its more about luck than the wrong cable type! At the end, it just works after retrying a few plugs and unplugs.
Hope they can get a fix for this soon.
Hey again guys, I've now tried the cable again with my Sony Tablet, and I'm definitely plugging it in correctly. There's no response whatsoever on the tablet or the PC once I've plugged the cable in.
When using the same cable on my Xperia play, the phone will instantly start charging once I plug the cable in to the PC. However, the PC doesn't actually recognize the phone as a device (i.e. it doesn't show up in windows explorer, or launch the Ericsson Phone Software, as it once did). It charges the phone, but doesn't talk to it, if that makes sense.
So it would seem that some Micro USB cables are good for charging only, but not for data transfer / PC recognition.
I'll buy a different cable tomorrow so will let you know if it works then.
Thanks again for all the replies guys I appreciate it.
cheers again,
Austab
Looks like the cable is faulty then and you have to try another one.
I bet one of data wires is broken, or a data contact inside connector is broken (worn down), because when you connect your Xperia Play it should also be recognized as a device.
Then again, maybe there is something wrong with your computer.
Can you try the same cable on another computer, and see if the device is recognized, before you buy a new cable. Or let them check the cable at the store to see if it really is faulty.
My understanding is you need an OTG USB cable, (On The Go) - this is what you need to connect USB keys and other hard-drives and so therefore I would think external PCs too.
I bought a nokia one for around 5 pounds from amazon, do a search for OTG USB cables,
thanks
Pratish
He wants to connect it to a computer, not connect external devices to it.
So he needs a regular micro-USB cable.
the cable is USB Host finde with this name
People, wtf are you talking?!
He *does not* need USB host (OTG) cable. That's for connecting USB devices, like keyboard, mouse, USB-storage etc., to your tablet.
He wants to connect his tablet to a computer. For that he needs a regular type A USB to type B micro-USB cable.
Hi,
Would seem like op had a charging cable, not data one. As stated, he need a regular data cable with appropriate connectors. OTG has nothing to do with it.

Hi Crazzzik,
so you're saying that there are micro usb cables for charging only, and then there are micro usb cables for data + charging etc? That would explain things perfectly for me, as my cable seems to work for charging devices, but not communicating with a PC (i.e. data transfer).
I'm getting a new cable today - sorted!
Many thanks everyone for your help & advice
Austab
Yes when I got the cable for my sony tablet s, I saw several usb cables that would fit the tablet, but on the package it said specifically "for charging only, not meant for data transfer", so they do make the cabkes just for charging, as a PC tech, I was a little embarrassed that I just found this out this weekend.
Thanks
I also got a microUSB-cable adapter, it works fine with usb driver / joypad and keyboard
but not sure if it's capable for connecting with PC or even for charging
hello all,
I recently bought the usb cable for the tablet they sell at the sony store. The micro usb to female normal usb ( I think you know what im talking about). It is sony tablet specific. The micro usb end of the cable is square instead of tappered at one side. it worked fantastic for plugging in and usb deviced to the tablet, but when I tried to plug it into my galaxy s, it wouldn't fit. just thought those thinking of buying one would appreciate the heads up so its not a shock if they try to use it on any other devices. Im sure you can find that same cable at any well stocked computer shop.
i borrowed a htc wildfire s cable, this works and installs drivers.
I guess the U in usb isn't so universal, found out today that you HAVE TO use the cable with the (v-cast sticker) in order to transfer data and any other cable INCLUDING the ones they sell at the V store will only charge the phone.

The LG cable from my work Epic 4g doesn't work on my Razr. The HTC cable, blackberry cable, and Motorola cables all work fine. I did have to restart the phone to get the cables to work after I tried to use the LG cable.
LG cables are known to suck, avoid them like the plague.
I've just been using any old cables I've had lying round, at least 3 different brands, lengths etc, no problems at all.

This is known issue with Motorola phones having to use certain micro USB cables. Not all will work on a cellbrite machine or for data transfer. Not every USB cable is the same. I am not sure the technical reason for it, but BB cables do not work. For what it is worth BB uses USB A to micro USB "B" cables.
The easiest way to tell if the cable will support debugging mode. The charge only cables will not trigger the debugging mode in the status bar.

Completely untrue. I have never unpacked my Razr's charge/USB cable. It is still in its box. I use the USB cable from my first-generation B&N Nook to charge and transfer data. I sideloaded over 20 gb of data onto my card with it and use USB tether with it.

well according to the quote above, BB cables do work.
And ive been charging my Razr on my BB Tour cable just fine all day.
OK some Blackberry cables do not work. This isn't even a debate. Just Google. There are several articles on this that go into what causes it. Most micro USB cables do work just fine. So don't say that "well I used these hand full of cables" so I'm going to pass that off as scientific proof that you must have a defective phone.
What idiot would pull a random cable have it work and say well that proves they all work?
It's mostly a problem with Motorola phones and some HTC. It has something to do with the amps (or something) the phone needs out of the cable. While all micro USB cables have the same number of pins, apparently not all have the same number of wires connecting all the pins. This is what I have read, I have not actually stripped a cable to find out.
I do have daily experience transferring data through all kinds of phones and we have a couple of cables that will not work on the Droid 3, X2, Bionic, or Razr. They are not defective cables because they do work on some other phones.

I never said that all BB cables or USB cables work.
In your post I first quoted you said BB cables don't work, implying that they all don't work.
The same guy posted the same incorrect information on android forums.com....
Stop wasting money on cables from the verizon store.
No problem here either, I've used cables as different as
2 metre könig usb cable with fake gold plating (really cheap brand)
0,7 metre cheap plastic cable I found in a box at work
The two original moto cables
A hair thin samsung original cable
If you're on a laptop, that's probably your problem. Or your front USB if it's a desktop.
I too have used numerous MicroUSB cables without any issues.

I used to have an HTC Touch-Pro or Diamond on Win Mobile (ick!). It came with a rather nice accessory though -- a little hub of sorts that would allow for a data connection to a computer while allowing the insertion of an AC charger as well. Does anyone know if such a critter exists in Micro (not Mini) USB form? I am currently unable to tether via ad-hoc (stupid company laptop), so I'm using EasyTether to tether via USB. However, the power-hungry Rezound sucks more juice than can be gained through the USB port (discussed in other posts), so I discharge as I go .
Anybody know where I can get one if they exist?

I have bought from dx.com before. With the free shipping, it takes a while, but the stuff comes.
Hey all, I tried searching for this "usb cable", "can't charge", "unable to charge device", but did not seem to come across anything. Either that or I'm blind...
Well anyway, I left my charger/cable that came with the HTC One (T-mobile version) at the SO's place, so I thought I'd try a usb cable I have at work plugged into the laptop. My phone comes up with a notification saying "Unable to charge device. Please use the supported charger".
I came across this the first day as well, when I used the HTC adapter and my cable from work. Since then I've only found that the HTC adapter + usb cable that came in the box will work. I haven't tried bundled usb cable with the laptop. Is this for real? Does anybody know what kind of charger/usb cable I should be looking for in case I wanted to get a spare or have an extra set to use?
tl;dr
HTC One adapter + bundled USB cable = will charge fine
HTC One adapter + random usb cable from work = "Unable to charge device. Please use the supported charger."
Laptop + random usb cable from work = "Unable to charge device. Please use the supported charger."
Nobody else is experiencing this? I have 4 usb cables here at work and none of them work. Thought they would've been all standard USB cables. Perhaps not eh?
btw these cables I have from work have worked on the Nexus4 previously.

Thanks for the info...it was on page 174 on the PC too. It seems to be a different issue though, with an adapter that has less than 1A input. My problem seems to come from the USB cable I'm using, since the HTC adapter + my usb cable doesn't work, but HTC adapter + HTC usb cable does..
I borrowed a different usb cable from my coworker and it seems to work in the laptop for some reason. He mentioned that he's heard similar stories like this before which involved different wiring of the power/data lines in the cable or something....in any case I just found it really odd that it turned out like this. As far as I know there's no indication of different types of USB cables...so how the heck would I know which cable to get if I needed a spare!
Not all usb cables are creAted equal..
Perfect example would be a usb cable from an LG G2X
On samsung galaxy s2. Turn the phone off and plug into normal cable.. turn it on.. it charges
Turn the phone off.. plug it into G2X cable.. turn it on.. it puts the phone in download mode.

Just a FYI, the page numbers may be different; one can setup the number of posts in a page in the user control panel. I think mine is set to 50, so I think that might be on page 6 for me if I'm using my PC. It's generally better to link just that individual post to be sure people see it.

There are a few posts afterwards, but in the end I think it was more of an adapter related issue rather than a usb cable issue.
Also, I managed to find another USB cable at home that I hadn't tried yet (it was a cable that came with a portable HDD), and lo and behold it worked when I plugged into my pc. So I guess it's just the usb cables I have at work that for some reason don't want to play nice with my phone. blah.
Recently picked up the v30 and purchased an otg cable to be able to hook my printer to my phone for work (did this on my g4 no problem). First plug shows up and when i plug it in, the phones usb status goes to "power supply" (like im trying to charge another device, not charge my v30). If i changs it to any other option, a second later it changes back to power supply. I thought this was strange as nothing was even plugged into the otg cable. Returned it and got another one of a different brand , same problem. Got a specific cord thats usb c on one end, printer plug on the other side. Same exact thing. All of these cables worked fine on my buddies Motorola, so at this point, i can only assume its the phone. I have tried plugging multiple devices to the otg cables, even getting a usb to micro usb to try my old otg cable and all had the same problem. Verizon sent a brand new phone to me thinking my cable port was bad. It did the same thing as well. If anyone else has run into this issue or has any advice, that would be much appreciated. My work printer is old and the wifi direct sucks to hook up constantly and it likes to disconnect in the middle of printing.

Regarding connecting a external DAC to the V30 I currently have that working with my V30 and my FIIO Kunlun E18. The cable used is below. I know that it's not the same thing that you are talking about because it's not exactly an OTG adapter but it works for my purposes. Good luck to you.

It's plug and play but when the DAC is connected it asks you if you want to set a default app to the USB device. Be sure to select NO and just cancel out if window. I was selecting yes when I had USB pro music app installed and it prevented me from hearing anything from LG music player, YouTube,and other 3rd party apps.

I'm also facing the same issue with an otg adapter, exact same symptoms.
Is there any solution other than buying specific otg adapters like the ones listed above?
I've also noticed that my V30 is very picky when it comes to usb connection. I have an usb c flash drive, and if it moves in the slightest, the connection just drops. It also happens with some usb cables that I've tried to use to connect the phone with my pc.
