Is there a difference between 4 pin for the Sammy one and 5 pins for generic ones?

Are you talking about the USB cable? I lost my original S3 cable, hence I am using my old HTC Desire cable now. Didn't see any difference yet.

Apparently the Samsung one gave me troubles when charging. Like stopping at a certain percent and not charging anymore.. Tried another and that one has no problems.. How many pins does yours have?

hmmm interesting. Anyone knows why sammy has 4 pins instead?
Generic. The samsung cable is unstable, therefore often charges too slow due to usb charger stability detection.

Strange. My Samsung cable provided has 5 pins. But oh well, as long it doesn't give me problems, i will use it.

No brand. Generic. Bought a couple from a Market stall.
Multiple cables .
original cable use if Odin problems is old advice .

Well, I guess, those extra pins won't make a difference, coz the slot in ur S3 may have the same no of contact points as there are pins in original S3 cable..!
I use a cheap no brand one when I'm at work and the Samsung cable at home. No differences at all.

I assume it is the same as an MHL connector. My questions are 1) Does it also charge your phone so it doesn't die if you're trying to watch a movie on an HDTV and 2) For the following product linked below, what is that small connector for that's next to the part that plugs into the back of your TV? I see that the other end of it plugs into your phone but can't figure out what the 3rd connector is for.

The HTC micro usb cable is quite a bit longer than the one I got from Samsung so i'm planning on using that one instead of the samsung one. Of course with the correct adapter from Samsung!
Any reason that should cause problems?

It should be absolutely fine as it is either the adapter or phone itself that controls the current.

I have such cable and it doesn't work too well. It disconnects itself quickly and doesn't charge properly. But danger: no. Try it and if it works it's ok.

It should just work fine and relatively safe. However, I bought some cheap cables on eBay and it can't charge at all!! Transfering of data is no problem but charging is a problem. I dont know why but I assume its just some poor quality cables.

There wont be any problem.. i have been using my old htc cable too cos its longer..lol... on both my note and s3.. so no problems at all.

I tried a cheap USB cable that works fine as a data cable and can handle 2.0 speeds but used on S3 and after 8 hours only gave around a 30% charge because looks like the cheap cable must not have been able to handle the 1000mah current.
I use my old HTC cable and adapter to charge my sgs3 works fine. Got a cheap extended cable to use with my original Samsung desktop dock, but that takes ages to charge my phone.

1. What do you mean by you "cannot use the phone"?
2. Are you using the original Samsung charger?

I cannot unlock my phone (sliding to unlock has no effect) while it's charging.

Then use the original Samsung charger.
Other chargers gives higher charging current thereby making the touchscreen unusable while charging

Its because the non-oem cable or wall plug. Get a different cable and try again. If it works, it was infect the cable. If not then plug it into ur PC/laptop with the new wire, if it works properly it was the wall plug.
Highly recommend getting a OEM or descent charger.

I'm looking to buy a longer charging/USB cable that has the same connector as the stock one that came with the phone. I have a ton of those micro usb wires, but these have a tendency to easily disconnect. I have a USB extention cable, but that limits the charging to less than 400mah or less.

I got mine on amazon for a couple bucks each. Try searching "htc oem cable." Mine are white from another htc model but perfect in all ways.
I would pick a couple of these up. They are a hell of a deal. Very thick, about 4ft long, and data exchange work perfectly. Charges my phone quickly too. Hard to believe they were only $1, and He's a US Seller so you will get them quick.

That is not an OEM cable, it is MicroUSB. They work, but the are not OEM.

The cable for the Amaze has a 12pt micro USB end. It's the same cable needed for the HTC Flyer. Compared to other micro USB cables that are only 8pt. This one fits more securely.

I'm glad I read this thread. I'm using my EVO charging cables and they work but are very slow.
If charging current is low check the ground connection between both end , it may be disconnected . I bought couple of cable from ebay all same problem later make one and i happy with that charging current now 800 plus .

search amazon for charge only micro usb, bazillions.
Thanks ! Actually I did it but I only found the "Portapow" model said not to be compatible with the Note 2. So I guess this would be the same for the Note 3.
Sent from my SM-N9005 with Tapatalk
I found that trick. From what I understand you have to cut and solder the green and white wires initially used for data.
Does anyone know if it is safe for the phone and computer (or the house when connected to the wall outlet) ??
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...+m,aps&rh=i:aps,k:charge only micro usb cable
I only found one in the list that ship to France. He is the one mentioning the cable is not compatible with the Note 2. I guess that's only about the fast charging feature. ..
Thanks for your help ! I just ordered one. I'll soon know if it rocks.

If you use the adapters for the Galaxy Tablet then any cable becomes a no-data high current charging cable.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/190677630730?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Using this I get 1800mA charging for my N3 (and no data).
iGO cable is your choice, but it's rather expensive (and you have to buy micro USB plug). The cable is NOT data capable.
Thanks for the trick Craig ! This is an interesting solution easier to carry in a bag and when needed data are avaliable.

To be able to fast-charge from a PC USB port without having a custom kernel that allows it. The note 3 is capped at 450mA on USB.

In case you've forgot the power block for the wall outlet when visiting some of your customers, you may have to connect to someone computer to refill. For security reason it's better to avoid spreading some data of one of your customer to the network of another one.
Same story when you are using the USB of a computer connected to an unknown network: all the content of your phone can be used (personal and professional) and I guess you may get some viruses that will be happy to contaminate other computers when you'll connect your phone to their USB.
A no data cable is a physical protection.

Some of the newer USB 3.0 hubs, e.g. the 10 port from Anker provide a charge only connection (2.1 A). The 9 remaining are data and power (0.9 A each)
