I have a couple of 3rd party cables and with both it seems like the USB-C connector is slightly too large to fit in the port on the OP5. These cables fit fine on other USB-C ports but on the OP5 it feels like it shouldn't fit in there and that I'm going to break something if I keep forcing it. Anyone had this experience before? Visually they look slightly bigger than the dash cable that came with the OP5 but it's a standard size port so it shouldn't make a difference.
I use Anker cables without issue

Everything fits here too with All of my different cables and adapters
Mine (1x local cheap store, 1x AliExpress with 90° connectors) work just fine. No issues here.
Another vote for Anker cables here, fabulous quality, braided cables and never had an issue with them, I have Anker hubs and they're great too. Should be available from your country's Amazon site. As for the cable you already have, if it "feels too big" (ooer) then I wouldn't force it, you could end up damaging the port and then you're in a world of hurt.
Aukey cables are fitting a little bit more tight (than the original one), but nothing to be concerned about. Better more tight that more loose.

I ordered 3 6ft USB cables from monoprice. They fit my og evo bot don't fit into the new evo lte. The
black plastic housing on the cable is too bulky to allow the male pins to fit into the female charging port on the lte.
Issue resolved. I think one of the three cables I ordered was too bulky and I just filed it down with a nail file to make it fit. The other two cables fit no problem.

I was going to say the same thing. I got a ton of those cables from Monoprice and they fit just fine on 2 EVO4GLTE phones GF and I have at home. I have the gold plated versions to. Was there any point to this post, or is this just a gripe?
I have several of the same cables and am using the Otterbox defender. No issues for me.

i had to trim the case of my og evo for these monoprice cables to fit.
im hoping it wont be the same for whatever case i get for the lte.
I also ordered several microUSB cables from monoprice, but they all fit fine for me.
A 15 ft, 10 ft, a 6 ft, and a 1.5 ft.
I only have a TPU case on my phone though and the cutout for the microUSB has plenty of clearance. Is that the issue?
So. Who's getting one? Can't tell from the description if it's just a usb cable with a Pogo end or if it includes a different charger. Not sure how it would charge faster simply by switching to a different connector.
Just do it a search for the nexus 10 Pogo on ebay. Cost is $20 with $6 shipping direct from our Korean friends. Available starting December 28th.

Update... Reread description and charger is not included. This is only for the cable but they claim 25% faster charging with this cable. Still one expensive cable on par with what the fruit company would charge for their oem cables.
Just to tell you... this has already been posted in the N10 Accessories subforum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045369
It sucks that we have to get it from an aftermarket company, instead of Samsung or Google! They added the pogo to the tablet but didn't make a cable, that's dumb of them because people would buy right away if they would've made it available as an extra accessory.

Apple probably would have sued and that would get the entire N10 in hot waters. Probably a good move IMHO although it sucks for us N10 owners.
Speaking of which, the pogo cable's gone from ebay. Wonder if they sold out or if something else is up. Maybe they got the letter from Mr. Fruit.
Bad news eBay pulled the listing for the charger.

The abstract for Apple's magnetic connector patent reads:
An electrical plug and receptacle relying on magnetic force to maintain contact are disclosed. The plug and receptacle can be used as part of a power adapter for connecting an electronic device, such as a laptop computer, to a power supply. The plug includes electrical contacts, which are preferably biased toward corresponding contacts on the receptacle. The plug and receptacle each have a magnetic element. The magnetic element on one or both of the plug and receptacle can be a magnet, which is preferably a permanent rare earth magnet although electromagnets may also be used. The magnetic element on the plug or receptacle that does not include a magnet is composed of ferromagnetic material. When the plug and receptacle are brought into proximity, the magnetic attraction between the magnet and its complement, whether another magnet or a ferromagnetic material, maintains the contacts in an electrically conductive relationship.

Interesting. I know it's not a patent that they license out. The fact that they haven't sued for it, though, probably means that this patent is a bit more specific to power while POGO cables allow for some manner of data transfer, too (in regards to docks). There are instrument cables that have magnetic connectors, too.
I'm assuming, of course. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The plantronics legend has a magnetic connector as well and they still selling them so I guess anyone can make them
Looks like it. I didn't read the entire patent but I would assume it's not that broad.

Why is that bad news? It was probably a fake.
TomTom has used a magnetic connector very much like the POGO plug on the 2535m and 1000 series GPS units over the past couple of years. Almost identical in concept...just a different number of pins. Supplies power and supports other functions as well. This is on millions of units currently in use worldwide.

So I recently picked up some USB cables but, I found they are a little loose. The best cable that I have used is the one that comes with the Nexus 6 and presumable their similar flagships. I'm a big fan of how tightly it plugs into both ends. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could pick some up (cable only) or a similar option that makes a nice tight connection with the device and type A port because, the aukey ones I bought are a bit loose fitting on both ends.
I love these. The detents on the plug give a satisfying dull thump when I insert it into my phone, and they lock firmly. They look great too. It's a shame they'll be pretty much useless next fall when I move on to my next phone which will most certainly be USB-C.

If you're lucky enough to be able to pick this up locally, these cables are a steal at $3 bucks. Supports quick charge 2.0 and lasts about a year of daily use.

This. Anker is the only company I will buy chargers and cables from. Very high quality and customer service is world class, should you need it.
Amazon's Kindle Fire cables, I use em religiously. It takes a LOT to make them break.
If you're into buying stuff from chine, I couldn't recommend Aukey enough.
Anker my friend. They are very well built at a good price. Never seen one even wear out. Plus those 5 or 6 packs of powerline from amazon comes with a handy 1 footer for flashing
Anker Powerline+ is the only cable I could recommend. PROS: Amazing strength, quality, comes up to 10 feet. CONS: Few colors, kind of expensive for a cable. Review: The cable is superb quality, and the Powerline+ Series (and Anker in general) has great quality control. Warning: Beware, the regular Anker Powerline (non +) cable that I used to have had a quite low quality tip, and began slipping from my phone's port after a month of moderate use (which to me was a huge deal). My Powerline+ has yet to suffer that, and still provides a great snap and fits snug in my port after 2 months of moderate usage. Bottom line: Worth the price, and it isn't even THAT expensive. Great and probably best overall cable.

I wanted to have wireless charging on my 3a XL to prevent wear and tear on the charging port. I charge once a day using USB cable and I realize if I will do this everyday there is a risk of damaging the charging port. Although it did not happen on my previous Android phones, i still wanted to be cautious as i like the 3a XL so much and planning to do upgrade after 3yrs or so.
I was able to get a Nilkin Qi Wireless charging receiver and Anker Qi charging pad. The receiver fits OK on my Poetic rugged armor case. I can now do wireless charging without hassle!
Cool that you got this working.
I will say that according to the breakdown guides that I saw on the 3a series, the USB port is actually modular. So if it did break for some reason (I agree with you that it is a pretty rare, but not unfathomable, thing to happen) it should be super simple to replace. No soldering needed. Just pull the old module out and replace with a new module. https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Google+Pixel+3a+Teardown/123256
I wonder if those steel plates they sell, so that the phone will stick to magnetic mounts, would work if placed between the Qi charging adapter and the phone...?

It won't and you could risk a fire from the heat that gets pumped into the metal
