I also got an HTC 10. My dog ate the ten's charging cable. Can I use the LG G5 one on my ten? Does lg have a 56k ohm resistor in its cables??
The problem with the 56k resistors is only present with USB type C to type C cables as far as I know, so the cable that came with the G5 shouldn't be a problem.

where can someone pick up an oem G3 usb cable? i've tried googling the part number but nothing comes up but there are plenty of G2 oem cables, will the G2 be a suitable alternative?

G2 cable is fine. A USB cable is a USB cable. I use cables from my old Blackberry. I even use the USB wall adapters...the one with the wire still attached to the wall plug.
I am using about 4 different USB cables and they all work. Go monoprice.com is where I go for cables.

I second Monoprice. I buy all my cables there and I've never been let down.
Using cables from my Galaxy S4, since I bought some spares.
The cables need to be heavier gauge to carry current. That's all.
Plug in a cable, if it works it works, if it complains about not charging throw it away and find another cable. Stock cable isn't necessary for the phone to charge.

Anyone that had the G2 experienced first hand that a lot of aftermarket cables weren't compatible with the phones fast charging feature.
As someone with a G2 and a G3, the cable and charger that came with both were identical.
I actually just had an issue with an old USB cable where it's pretty much woren to crap and I picked up a generic one at Target and it works fine as well. 6ft no name one and it works great.

Sweet thanks!
I found a few oems on eBay. Some had charging block included. Others had oem block with 6 or 10 ft cable. Pretty tempting.
I don't think a ten footer would charge as fast though.
Hi
Sorry if this is a repost but I couldn't find answer anywhere.
I am looking to get a 3m cable to charge my Note3, the extension cables I have tried have varied in success, I have 1 that works well and is fast but the wife has claimed it and I can't find where I got it from.
I am happy to use the supplied plug, extension (e meters) and OEM cable or the supplied plug and a complete USB to USB 3.0 micro B cable (3meters). Does anyone know of a tried an tested 3 meter cable that offers a good charging time?
Also, does the USB 3 micro B cable charge faster than a standard USB to micro USB cable? I know the transfer rate is quicker just not sure if the charge/power rate is better?
Any help appreciated.

The charging rate is the same. The difference is in the carrying capacity of the cable (the cable rating). If the port you're using can output enough Amps to make charging faster (the stock wall charger is 2.1 Amp), you also need a good cable to go along. The cable that comes with the phone is able to sustain 2A charging rates. But if you're buying a 3rd party cable, check the Amp rating. USB 2 or 3 won't matter if the cable can only sustain 1A current flow. This purports to be able to carry 2.1 Amps... http://www.amazon.com/Hi-mobiler-Hi-Speed-Gold-Plated-Connectors-Smartphone/dp/B00TCBTFYK
Thanks for the response, the information is good to have. Unfortunately this item doesn't ship to Scotland but now I know what spec details I'm looking for.

I have 2 of these 3 meter Mediabridge USB 2.0 cables I really like. They're rated for at least 2.5 amps.
Sorry but I can't post links yet since I don't post often. Below is the info though.
Mediabridge USB 2.0 - Micro-USB to USB Cable (10 Feet) - High-Speed A Male to Micro B

Item model number: 30-004-10B
You might try this 10' 24/28GA USB cable from monoprice ($1.46) There's a 15' one, too, costs a whole 0.50 more.
The issue with long cables is that, if you use thin conductors, there's a voltage drop (resistance drops voltage), which can reduce charge speed or even put you out of USB spec. These cables use thicker conductors to carry current.
Don't let the prices fool you; monoprice cables are pretty decent.
Thanks for all the answers and advice. One of the cables was £90! The others don't deliver to Scotland

Thats about £86 more than I paid per cable.
I saw this one on Amazon UK for £5.99. In the customer Q & A section someone said it delivered a full 2 amps.

Like the look of them RylanM, thanks
They do a braided nylon option which would really suit my needs.
Poor reviews on the springs on the micro USB end though which surprises me with anker

I posted the following yesterday but it didn't seem to be here today....
I used an app called ' Galaxy charging current' to check the current being delivered. I found the following.
Always using the supplied OEM 3pin plug.
1. OEM cable only = 1200mA
2. 3m USB extension and OEM cable = 650mA
3. 3m braided USB to micro USB = 850mA
I'm going to test my wireless charger at work tomorrow.

I bought both the 3ft and 10ft red braided cables on the 29th of may, used them almost daily since (10ft for sure, 3ft I only use in the car so not as often) and I've got no issues with the retaining pins. In fact they're bloody stiff, they fit in my Nexus 7's loose USB port (dropped it with a cable plugged in, ruined the cable, loosened the USB port) as if there's no issue at all.
Also got the 6ft non-braided one for a mate (he doesn't have Prime) on the 29th of March and I haven't heard him complain about it at all. It may just be a bad batch with failing pins.
If you want any pics/info on the red braided cables feel free to ask.
Have you checked amazon? Compare prices to ebay
Ok hopefully someone can explain this to me. I'm looking to get an additional charger for my G5 so I need a wall wart and a cable. There are multiple wall plugs that state Quick Charge 3.0 but some output to USB A and some to USB C. Does this make a difference? Will charging speeds be different going from A to C vs C to C? There are so many type C options and I can't even begin to narrow it down if I'm still unsure of going from A to C or C to C.

This is exactly what you're looking for. Bought it for my G5 and couldn't be happier. Enjoy ?

Hi,
I have bought the oneplus 5 and I am looking for safe accessories 100% compatible with my smartphone.
Because of some articles findable on the web, I'm a little afraid to use another cable and another charger than the original one XD
I have not followed all this history....
I know that Benson Leung have a website where he said what cables are good but, the Oneplus cable doesn't folow the Default USB Power for type C cable so a "good" cable who respect this Default USB Power is safe to use with the 5 ?
For example I have this cable OUI POWER, I used it for my Oneplus One for few mounth and it's very good !! But can I use it with the adaptator included (microUSB to TYPE C) on my 5 ?
And what about the charger ? And adaptator like TYPE C to microUSB or TYPE C to TYPE A?
I have found (in franch amazon because i'm french... so I can't buy a LOT of approuved cable by Leungs ):
- Micro USB to type C Adaptator
- Type C to Type C cable
But I need type C to type A adaptator and type C to microUSB too.... And I don't know what choose...
A technical electronic's lesson seams to be important
Thanks
Always go for a known company. Anker, Nillkin or Aukey. I have bought the Anker 24W Wall Charger (2 USB Ports) with Power-IQ, Anker Car Charger (2 USB Ports) with Power-IQ, one Anker Powerline II USB Type-C Cable (6 ft) and one Anker Powerline II Braided (Red) USB Type-C Cable (6 ft).
Additionally I wanted to get an Anker Powerbank but in Bulgaria they cost an arm and a leg. So far I am more than satisfied by the quality of these products. At home I do have few Nillkin cables, chargers etc, and their quality is on par with Anker. I have not tried the Aukey products but a lot of people are recommending them.
Hi everyone, I'm thinking about buying an Anker Powerline+ USB-C to USB-A 3.0 but I'm not sure if it will work with my device. Has anyone tried that cable?
P.S: The official USB-C cable for the HTC U11 is not available in my country.

Thank you. Maybe I have a faulty USB port because a bought a cheap USB-C cable and it doesn't work, it just shows "slow charging" and it takes up to 5 hours to reach 100% also when I connect it to my PC it shows a message that the device could not be recognized.

Check your power block? If you use a QC compatible block and cable it should fast charge. Try the anker cable

I bought a Quick Charge 3.0 and a USB-C 3.0 and it works perfect. All the problem was related to the cheap cable I bought before.
