What micro usb - HTC EVO 3D

Can anyone recommend a decent aftermarket replacement micro usb lead as I borrowed some cheap one off a friend and the device gets really hot and sometimes hardly charges, I know the blackberry and Motorola ones are usually pretty thick as all the cheap ones are soooo thin.

Probably Not the Cable
If the cable thickness wasn't enough to transport power from the charger/port to the phone the wire would get hot, not the phone. The problem lies more in the charger and what is running on the phone, not the cable.
In regards to your concern over your phone getting warm while charging with a small cable that could be due to whats running on the phone while you are charging (could be a runaway app). I have seen similar problems when charging in the car while running GPS with the screen on and streaming music. The problem is that all chargers output the same voltage but not the same amperage. USB Ports on a PC and many chargers only provide 500 mAh and with multiple apps, wireless modems and the screen may be pulling about that much power or more and end up using up all the power coming from the charger. It sounds like you need a charger with a higher amp output.

I have a 2amp charger in my van, but the phone generally get hot in the van anyway....
But when using the standard HTC charger and cable at home, they all get hot, I.e. charger, cable and phone

Why not buy the original cable for your phone on Ebay then?
They are like $3.00 ...

I don't like buying stuff like that from eBay because I had genuine cables off there before and they were rubbish, doubt they were actually genuine.

Any after market cable should work for you.
I never have problems charging my phone with any cable..
I agree with the post above about you running extra apps and that's why it's heating up.

I like OEM BlackBerry cables. They are longer and seem like a thicker guage. Have always worked well for our devices.

I did buy a so called factory htc evo charger for $3 or so. It was either bad or a fake. It was def not a 1 amp charger. The battery wouldn't charge.

You need to be careful with what you buy.
I know there's many knock-offs on ebay.
Check the descriptions closely.

Go to monoprice.com they have a variety of micro usb cables for cheap that are great quality.

Aren't they just USB 3.0 chargers?
No. It's a proprietary connector AFAIK.

I meant that the cable draws power from USB 3. So any USB 3 plug would do? Not sure where you'd get the cable from

Oh, right. Yes, they will draw power from any powered USB port.

Extra usb cable.

I ordered a 2amp usb car charger but I don't want to use the factory cable I use at home. I just want another one. Does anybody know a cheap cable to buy from somewhere? Does the usb cable have to be sorted?
Also I wanted to purchase a dock for my note. I don't know which one to get? Should I get the oem one or the one with an extended battery (even though I don't have an extended battery..)
Any opinions?

Great Find!!! Thank You

Dual USB Car Charger

Can anyone recommend a good dual USB car charger? I would like to be able to simultaneously charge my EVO 4G LTE and my Samsung HS3000.
Thanks!
If you don't mind ebay check my link. Can't beat less than $2.50...I've ordered several for friends and family. Target has the same one for $16ish.

Here is the one that I have. I like it because it does not protrude out too much from the lighter. Been working for almost 2 years.

Actually, my ebay charger did have the Griffin branding on it. I've ordered on two separate occasions and both are working great. It puts out an amp through each USB port and gadgets charge just as quick as with the HTC wall charger.

Be careful using generic MicrUSB chargers and cables on the HTC View/Flyer!!!

I recently tried to charge my Flyer at a friend's place using their microusb charger, which as many of you know works on the Flyer. Those of you in the know also probably realize that getting a microUSB cable into HTC's modified EXTmicroUSB port can be a little finicky at times.
WELL BE CAREFUL... in fact I'd say avoid it using microUSB completely if possible! Only use the HTC supplied cable and charger.
I broke my Flyer as the microUSB cable bent and snapped the charging pin inside the port So barring an expensive repair my Flyer will never charge again.
There's a thread here on repairing a View using a Flyer USB port board. Cost about $50 with shipping. Look for it for more info.

I really don't get the big deal over wireless charging. Instead of plugging in a cord you lay it down. Am I missing something?

Not at all, I'm not a big fan either but some people like it.
After about a year my GNexus usb port broke ( using a Philips Docking Station to charge ) so constant wair/tear on usb port can render it useless. I've seen others with similar problems. The wireless option would preserve the port for more important things other than charging.
I tried wireless charging I preferred the extra batteries route

It's just about convenience. I still haven't jumped on board, hasn't been worth the price IMHO, so far. Even with the $20 cover, you still have to get a wireless charging pad.
One other thing to note. Wireless charging is slower and thus preserves not only USB port, but battery longevity! Efficient.

I wonder how long it would take to charge the Note 3 battery. My S4 battery took quite a while to charge. The Note 3 battery is give or take about 1000mAh bigger than the S4

Another consideration is whether cases will still fit since the charging cover is thicker.

I like wireless charging, since it is pretty convenient... have 3 charging plates at various plates at home/work, using it with S3 right now. Wonder if there is a Qi card option vs. the plate for the Note 3, given that it is pretty thin.

You can mod it to fit but i hear with the wireless backplate, your case won't fit
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
I hope it doesn't increase the thickness of the device much, unlike the S4 where it was pretty noticeable. As for charging speculation, I'm wondering if there will be a USB 3.0 specific wireless charger solution or something, if that's even possible. Otherwise I'd imagine it'd take forever for such a high mAh battery to charge up wirelessly to the point where I think it'd be better just to buy the spare battery/battery charger base accessory seeing how good the battery life is.

my nexus 7 takes about 5 hours
If that were the case here then two hours vs. five would be too slow for my tastes. My Note 3 went from 1% to 100% in two hours on the 3.0 charger...
