Yes - the port on the HTC Rezound is a MHL port. It is a Micro-USB and Micro-HDMI port in one. So either will work.
My phone overheated using an aftermarket micro usb that works on my thunderbolt so I would stick with HTC micro usb cables

Yes, you can use a regular micro-usb.
Be careful, I had trouble with a USB power adapter that I used at work with a regular Micro-USB wire. The adapter caused the phone to be glitchy when using while plugged in.
My charging cable hasn't really been working well and I just noticed it only has four golden colored prongs inside of it. Can anyone confirm this isn't correct before I order a new one?
Edit yea its not the cable this thing is just barely charging.

Is it the OE cable? And charger? If its not that's your problem.

mine does the same thing from time to time. if its charging slow unplug it and plug back in, then make sure the red light is on. i have noticed sometimes when i get a email or text and the charging indicator goes off(red light), it seems to only be trickle charging per say.

I don't think I have ever used the charger & usb cable that came with my Note 2. I have never had any issues with it charging. In fact, I am currently using a Motorola wall unit with a no name cable upstairs, & a cheap wall unit from Walmart & the cable from an Acer tablet. Both charge fine.
I'm using OEM charger and cable I installed an app called galaxy charging current and its showing a ridiculous fluctuation. I'm thinking it may be a faulty charger. It charges much faster on my car charger.

So I just noticed the charging port on my new Note 3 is different than the one on my chargers (which I had been using on my Galaxy S4).
My old Galaxy S4 chargers still seem to fit and charge, but they only take up half of the charging port.
Is it okay to use them? Is there an advantage to a charger that is made for the Note 3?

Note 3 has a USB3 port, while the S4 has a USB2 port.
It's okay to use a USB2 charger in a USB3 port. However, a USB3 charger will charge your phone faster.
Any USB2 cable (== charger) will work with the Note 3. The port is a USB2 port + an extra bit for the USB3 pins, so it's compatible with both.
I owned (was stolen) an S4, I Keep my note 2, and I've had on my hands the note 3, all both includes exactly the same White charger in the box (5v/2A) no matter if its White, Pink or Black, samsung will include the same part.
Use the usb3 cable only for high speed data transfer, using an usb2 cable for charging has no impact on charge time while the wall charger power it's the same.
P. D. I'm waiting to see the new nexus 5 prior order the note 3, considering how important maybe Android 4.4
I also have the desktop multimedia doc for my s4 and note 2 and that doc works with the Note 3. It doesn't go in as.easy but works fi ne

The only benefit in using the usb3 charger cable is when connected to a PC because it charges at .9amps with the usb3 vs .5amps with the usb2. on the wall charger is all the same because the output is controlled by the adapter. Hope this help!
So you guys are saying the USB 3 cable doesn't charge the phone faster when plugged into a wall? It sure feels faster, but I could be wrong

No way it charges fast on Wall charger, only charger fast when connected to a usb3 port on a pc, as paitobp said.

So you're saying it charges faster when connected via USB3 to a PC, even faster than when plugged into a wall charger?
I haven't been able to test this myself, but so far in order of fastness I can see a clear distinction between the following:
USB3 Cable in Wall charger > USB 2 Cable in Wall Charger > USB 2 cable in PC.

No, it's faster when connected to a wall charger (2A vs upto 0.9A).
Also its well know not every usb2 cable charges fast you need one from Samsung or equivalent capable to handle 2 amp w/o raise resistance due cable temp.

+1 ^ what he said.
Sorry if I misspell,
Note 3 will charge faster on Wall charger no matter if you use the USB 3 cable or an GOOD USB 2 cable.
When connected to a PC with usb 3 ports, using the USB cable will charge faster coz pc ports are limited TO 0.9 amp on USB3 AND 0.5 Amp on an usb 2 port or usb3 port with an usb 2 cable.

The charge speed on Wall charger must be exactly the same disregard if using usb 2 or 3.
From Galaxy Note II Samsung is providing the same 2 amp / 5v wall charger.

As I said in other thread there are motherboards that control the current in their usb3 ports, I got a latest Asus that can give 2amps (at least that what it says)

Yes but this case the phone coz not detecting a charger configuration will limit current to STD usb (0.5-0.9A). NO matter if the motherboard gives 2amp to each usb3 port the Note 3 will take only 0.9A, yo enable high power charge mode D0+ & D0- terminal must be in short.

Right now, a wall charger is a wall charger, in early 2014 the quickcharge 2 certified chargers will become available with a chip in the charger that communicates with the sd800 and allows it to charge very fast... Unfortunately, the only way to do this now is through a usb 3.0 outlet on a computer and quickcharge software
The note 3 wall charger is not the same as the note 2 charger. The look the same but the note 3's puts out a little more than 2 or at least it's what it says.

Ipad4 charger is not compatible to Note3 while S4 is able to charge via Ipad4 charger
When I charge with a cord the power to the device will go in and out like the connection is loose at the contact. I'm using the HTC charger the phone came with.
I've found that if I apply pressure to the plug in the phone it never looses connection and if I jiggle it while in the outlet it goes between charging and not charging.... Any advice?

Could be the charger or the port or the outlet. Try another charger and outlet. If it's the port and you're under warranty return it.
Well I'm unlocked and s off.. can I return it if I undo everything?

I had this problem long before I s-offed or rooted, so I highly doubt it's that. The included HTC cable stopped working for me. It also doesn't work in any other device I have tried it with. I now use a Samsung cable (the kind that came included with the i9000) and it works fine. Try a different cable and see how that works.

When I first got it, I shorted the pins to force it to charge in AC mode. Now that I know it is capable of 2.1amps and our phone can accept similiar amperage, will I need a micro usb 3.0 cable for it to charge at 2.1amps? Or will my old galaxy s3 usb 2.0 cable be able to charge it at 2.1 amps as well?

No, a USB 2.0 cable will charge at the same current as a USB 3.0 cable (1800mA with the screen turned off, 1200mA with it on).
If the max is only 1.8amp then why is our charger rated at 2amp?

Change the color to black and it's less than half the price. Isn't there an app that will tell you how much current it is drawing while charging?

I believe there is also a loss of energy during the transfer of energy. The process is not 100% efficient.
