anyone know where i can get a cheap OEM samsung cable? ive been through 6/7 cheap ones on ebay and they dont last me too long till they become loose on the end of connection and i have to wiggle it a bit to get it charged? this did actually happen to my oem cable that came with my phone but it lasted for about 10months before dying on me,
just bought these. as it seemed to have the quickest delivery and price option for me atm and im in dire need of a cable lol

This one worked out well for me. Though I highly doubt it's oem. But everything fits nice and snug.

Get a OEM blackberry cable. They're more beefy and sturdy. A lot better in quality IMO

I agree with jthatch, but I have also loved the cables I got from the ol' cable heaven of Monoprice. You can get 1.5ft-15ft from 65 cents to $1.75 for the longest cable. I bought five 3ft and a 10ft for less than $5 and now there are cables wherever I need one. Monoprice Micro USB cables.

I have a USB cable from my old Nokia E series so I plugged it in my Atrix and see the phone charged, connected to PC. Is there any harm to the Atrix of doing that for long period? If not I can use it as office charger for the hungry Atrix. Thanks

I got same issue on mine. That's bit annoying actually.
@ OP
It still being micro USB, it isn't a motorola stuff but a general standard... It may probably be slower to charge.
You can read about it on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#Charging_ports_and_accessory_charging_adapters
(I can't link as I don't have enough posts, sorry)
some cables have better quality even if not branded. try it out on your pc, connect a lot of devices so the electricity consumption increases and if the Atrix doesn't lose connection it's a good cable.
btw, the problem with the touch screen happens with all capacity touch screen devices due to itself works with static. some chargers/cables will give you this problem and there are even some models (mostly Motorola) that get affected easily, although Atrix is not one of them, yay!

Never, I mean NEVER, buy cables at best buy. As long as you didn't buy an hdmi cable from there its not too bad I buy my cords online from amazon usually. Where i can get ones that work just as well for a couple dollars or less. Perfectly good hdmi cords for $1.50 lol. 6 foot micro-usb gold plated as well for a couple dollars... from amazonbasics
I am in need of a few 20 awg charging cables, just like the oem one. I have a pile of various cables here, some are charge only, but none seem to charge as good as the original one. I have been looking online, and can't find anything good. Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks
EDIT: The Kopi 20AWG cord charges at high rate, comparable to the OEM charging cord.

I'm new so I can't post links yet, but I bought one from Kopi Incorporation Limited through amazon. I searched 20 awg charging cable and it was the one that came up with the best reviews.
I had bought a 2.1A car charger for my new G3 and the cord that came with it was absolute crap. Wouldn't charge the phone at all. I am hoping this will work for that as well as the OEM cable does. I will post results once I get it on Monday.

I am fed up with the garbage charging cables, literally every month I have to buy a new USB cable. I have tried many different companies and they all break after 1 month or less of use. BTW I am travelling Europe so anything here would be great. BTW I've spent about $100 in just USB cables.
P. S
I've just lost my **** because a cable I bought 3 weeks ago stopped working an hour ago. I can't warranty it because like I said I'm traveling.

I have two of these:
((Can't Post Links... It's $7.99 on Amazon, just search this "aLLreli® 10ft 3M Premium Gold Plated USB 3.0 Supper Speed Data Sync Charger Charging Braid Cable - Extra Long"))
One for my Note 3, and the other for my Note 12. They are braided, long, and hella durable. I would say my only complaint is that the braided cable is thick, and sometimes hard to coil up to fit in a tight bag.

I've never had issues with the original cables.. I also use the (prettymuch identical) Note 3 cables.
Just find a Mediamarkt or Saturn or Conrad and look for reinforced gold-plated USB3 cables.
Also, perhaps it's an idea to change your methods of storing the cables. Mine have been everywhere from folded in the bottom of my bag to tangled in a suitcase with tons of junk, never had one break on me.
I can't say that I actually paid any attention to charge cables. I connect my Note Pro to whatever charger is nearest to me, the original one or other USB 2 cables from mobile phones. Never had any problems.

honestlyI hate to say it but I bought exactly that cable from amazon uk . It was the worst one out of the 12 cables I bought in the past 6 months . It broke after 2 days of use Just stopped charging and fitting in the Slot. Right now I'm on my 13th cable which costs me $ 10 usb 2.0 and its lasting me about a month so I'm getting ready for it to die again

I hate to say it donkon, but I've had the opposite experience. I too have the aLLreli cable, and it has worked great for me. Other than maybe a 2M option, 10 feet IS a little long, the cable is great. It connects solidly, allows me to read in bed while having it plugged in, and send to be a good cable.

I'm starting to think my galaxy note 12.2 might be the culprit as I have never had a problem on any device. Before a cable dies I get an alert that my tablet is too hot and it will not charge . Next event is my cable stops completely working.
Sent from my SM-N910F (Note 4)
Could be, how do the contacts within the tablet's port look? Anything bent or misaligned?
Only other possibility is the charger itself.
The port looks good to my knowlegde but I've had a couple cables have pieces come out of their ports after using them a couple times. But I think that might be cable qaulity related. 1 have my original new Note 4 adapter I was contemplating to try but I am afraid that will get broken too if I use it with the tablet
Sent from my SM-N910F (Note 4)
Yeah I wouldn't try. I keep that one reserved for my Note 4 since the tip has a unique feel to it (the shape) just so I know which one is connected to the special fast charger for the Note 4.

I've used both the expensive and the cheapos to varying degrees of success. Some of the better cables don't fit well into some devices due to the protective cases. . As much as I want to use Samsung cables when the kid destroys one it hurts(I am guilty too) so I buy the cheapos off ebay by the dozen. Seldom have had an issue and they last a good while . I just trash em at first sign of getting worn.

Does anyone else's G3 not like any micro USB cable other than the OEM that came with it? I've bought half a dozen micro USB cables here and there and my G3 keeps giving me an error that the cable is incompatible and that I need to use the cable provided.
I'd really like to use a 6', possibly fun, flat, and/or braided. Any suggestions?
The G3 is really weird about USB cables. Sometimes I have seen even the OEM one it came with called incompatible even with the OEM charger. At the same time, a cheap Walgreens cable will (usually) work. The OEM charger is 1.8amp and identical to the G2 charger. I have used everything from Motorola chargers from Droid3 to Asus chargers for N7, to an old Apple white cube and they all work, usually.
The best 6ft cables I have ever used are the cheap but gold-plated Monoprice ones. They pretty much always work, regardless of the charging block.

It's such a frustrating crap shoot. I bought a 3' at Five Below that my G3 likes just fine but the more expensive ones I've tried keep getting rejected. I'll try the Monoprice and see if I have any problems. Thanks for the help.
Mine G3 like mideabridge USB 2.0 from amazon but 5-6ft I think.
I have two of them one wore out fast the other works great.
The only problem I have is interferes with my bumper case.
I have one other cable that the G3 lines but it is short 1 ft or something and I don't remember were I got it, probably amazon.
I have tried multipal cables on the same charger.
My monoprice car charger will do fast charge with the right cable(OEM or Meadia brige)

I use the verizon branded fonas 6 ft 2.1 A micro usb led on tip AC charger and the plain non vz one. Both work just fine.
Used anker 1' that came with my astro e4 13000mah battery.
I try to barely use the original charger to keep it nice for resale. Plus my chargers are a bit faster and are thus better for phones battery health anyway.
I hope the free battery and charger hurry up and get here!

This is my first USB C device so I don't have a lot of information if I should be just purchasing random USB C cords on Amazon to charge my OP6T at work. Any suggestions or information on what type of cord I should get would be helpful. I would like to purchase 2-3 cords in different lengths if possible (one for work as mentioned, one for the car, and one for my battery pack).
USB c has been out long enough to trust the reviews of them on Amazon. Just check the ratings and read some of the reviews

I have a USB-A--> USB-C cable from Anker. Definitely can't complain.
I have been using the Aukey cables without any issues so far. Get the longer ones for data and the shorter ones if you are only using it for charging.
I've had a couple that worked fine elsewhere but would not dash (yeah I now they lost the right to use that name) charge my OnePlus devices, I'd read the reviews and make sure you're ordering something that's going to leverage your charger. I've got a couple older OnePlus cables in the drawer which I'm assuming will work but I cant prove it until the 6th.
If you want fast charge you have to use the originals. If you want spares you can get some in AliExpress for a reasonable-ish price.
If you want cables to use with batteries or don't care about fast charge, I find that TOPK cables are pretty good, cheap too. They usually come in several colours, have cord and are pretty flexible.
An engineer at Google, Benson Leung, took it upon himself to test many cables for standards compliance. I cannot get his site to load, but I found this article that lists some of his approved cables. http://buyandroidchargers.com/list-of-benson-leungs-usb-c-google-engineer-usb-c/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S8GU544/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dkTJBbN069J3Z
Based on the recommendation here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/accessories/ordinary-usb-cables-support-dash-t3838411
I wanted a longer cable to plug into my computer, as well as a couple of additional cables to charge at work and in my car. I am also purchasing the OPPO charger for work as well, since it can be had cheaper than the OnePlus wall wart.
These are replacing worn out and slower type C cables.
I thought if you want fast charge you have to use the charger. The cable can be any quality cable

AFAIK USB type A side has additional pins for DASH/Fast Charge. That's why it won't work on any other cables.

I was going to say, I haven't had a look see for a while but this morning I hit Amazon and there are a number of cables that work with dash charge according to the reviews. Some that don't, also according to the reviews. My big takeaway was half the price of the official goods so I went ahead and ordered the same one the fellow above me linked because it's the first one I ran into that was 6 ft instead of a meter. Glad to here someone got there first and it worked: Amazon reviews are good but I have more faith in a thumbs up from a fellow phone person.
Anker all the way.

Can you link a fast charge cord or adapters from AliExpress? I swear I never know what's fake on that website. I've ordered a few things from them before but only on smaller purchases.
I ordered one from Amazon .. it comes from shenzen China. Where most electronics are made in China..
It's literally a official OP cable but packaged in a generic box.
I tested and it works for dash charge..
It's exactly the same except it says dash on the tip .
And it was under $7
