I had been trying to find out what type of port the Viewsonic G Tablets docking port was and couldn't find the answer on the web. But i kept looking at it and couldnt help but see that it looked alot like the iphones charging port. So i tried a stock apple usb charging cable and to my disappointment it didn't fit. But for the sake of curiosity and frustration over not having a docking station that was easy to get in the U.S. I tried wearing down the sides of my old plastic energizer portable charger adapter for the iphone and after some work it fit. The pins even seemed to line up right with each other. My only problem is that i have no way to test if i actually works. So if anyone has and old usb iphone cable and dremel to grind down the sides like i did you can test to see if it is the iphone stock charging port customized not to fit the iphone cable. If anyone tries this please post back because i'm ordering cables to try it myself.
I will buy one Ipad cale to test.
I will buy one 30pin-HDMI adapter for Ipad to test if it is suitable for Malata Zpad..
Not sure if yo have seen the threads but there is a dock available and the same company is still working on a straight cable for hdmi out.
We will keep you guys posted on developments as you are not the only ones wanting them. Keep an eye out for docks here in the next few days.

The dock is available from some distributors in china and made for the ZPAD by Malata (I think). I got one last week and all tested well.
I'm hearing that there may be a few dock floating around here soon for quicker purchase in the US but don't know much more than that.... yet.

Nope... We have all tried over and over with no luck. it's a proprietary cable that took developers a long time just to get the hdmi out

Does anyone know where I can find a micro USB cable replacement that is compatible with Samsung's drivers?
My original cable crapped out, so I bought a Gigaware to replace it; phone charges fine.
However, know matter which drivers I try (or cpu), I can no longer get a cpu to recognize my phone.
And I of course need this functionality in order to use Odin (yay!).
T-mobile does not sell the original cable.
Any ideas or advice?
Thanks!
Idk but I do know LG does not work I've tried 3 different ones so far. No joy. So avoid those. Its not much but I hope it helped.

Thanks Twisted. Helps me know what to avoid.
Anyone know of/have one that works?
Been using this for about a month now, nice cable, works perfect. $6 is not bad either.

Awesome, thanks.
Ordering.
I have tried most USB cables out there and I'd recommend ORIGINAL cable since its nice and long and perfectly thin for a microusb yet high quality

only $1 here with waaaay much better reviews than the one you posted.
I'd personally think that the RIM brand is better quality build, though I could be wrong, and as far as reviews go, the cable I bought was nice and sturdy and can take quite a beating and works just fine :-/ To each his own!
Went with the cable from monoprice because shipping was MUCH cheaper.
Will post results on receipt.
On a recent stopover in Hong Kong, I bought several cheapie cables. These ended up being neither cheap, nor functional. They cost $2-3 each. And were only good for providing power to the phone.
At home, I have several cables from various devices (e.g. Logitech Harmony remotes, Blackberry, Motorola ...). All of these cables work just fine.
So the moral of the story is to stay away from cheapie no-name brand cables.

These cheap no brand cables are rare and useful. Try charging with them. Many of them charge 2X as fast as a normal cable, as the device recognizes the charging as 'AC' instead of 'USB'
Edit: haha I just noticed how old this thread was
wirelesss freak can u post a link to order a few such ones and get it shipped to inida?

I picked up a 3ft and 6ft lengths in black and "splurged" the extra few cents to get ferrite cores and the thicker gage power wiring (28/24 vs. 28/28 as they list it).
In comparison to the Samsung OEM cable, they have "chunkier" heads with harder and thicker plastic. They don't interfere with the phone housings in any way and are much more cat-proof. My cat made swiss cheese out of the ends of one of my Samsung cables.
The thicker gage wiring option is nice if you anticipate cable abuse (stepping on it, pinching the cable in doorways, etc) - great for vehicles and small kids. The thicker wiring does however results in a notably stiffer cable, so I can't easily wrap one tightly around my palm, for example.
For the prices they charge you could easily get many for the "price of one" in a brick and mortar store, so if you're one to deliberate to excess you could just order a few different options knowing you'll get something to your liking .
FYI - the best cable for Samsung phones and drivers are the blackberry ones IMHO there chunky on the tip and the wire is thicker than SAMMY's good luck everyone

Well, I'm thinking about just buying a micro usb to usb B cable converter.
Then, just go to any thrift store and buy a USB B cable that would come with a printer. Those things are everywhere and cheap. Unfortunately I've only seen the converter online, and it sells for 7USD.
I have been looking for a new cable that won't become lose where you plug it into the phone.
I have gone through them monthly. I can't use them in the car because they become lose and do not charge anymore. It's really frustrating not finding a good cable where the connector to the phone does not become lose in a couple of weeks.
Any suggestions would be great appreciated

I'm using an extra cable SilverTec.
Braided cable. got an option for 1m to 0.5m.
I'll send you an image later or not just google it. pretty solid.
doesn't come lose. bought it for around $3.5 for the 0.5m
the 1m should cost around $6

There's another thread around here about this. But, I have yet to find one better than this one PortaPow 3.3ft 20AWG Charge+Sync Micro USB Cable. It's one of a very few on Amazon that actually specs the conductor sizes. Also, it's one of the few sync (not charge only) cables with over-sized power conductors. You need a sync cable for turbo charging to work. It was actually a little scary tight when it was brand new. It's not braided, so if you are looking for aesthetics, this is probably not the one for you.

I'm happy with the braided 6.6ft Cambond reversible USB cable I bought on Amazon.
Anker cables are widely regarded as one of the best. Very well made, and use thick gauge wire. Check out the reviews on Amazon for what people are saying.
Monoprice best place to get your cables. Cost way less than others and last long time. Just look at this one for $3 http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=103&cp_id=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=9762&seq=1&format=2
I've found that OEM Blackberry cables are the best of both worlds, the usb connector is not as loose as other generic cables and they are not as tight fit as the Anker cables, you can find them at Amazon.

+1 to the PortaPow listed above. Been using one in the car for almost 6 months and connections have remained firm. I have this PureGear car charger and Quick Charge works well using this cable. Well worth the $7.49

But, you'll have to wait till Jan 2016
If you want to use quick charge on your nexus 6, make sure to get some better quality cables, because the crap cable won't give you enough power. i get mine tronsmart cable from their deals, and it can charge my lg g4 at full speed, great quality.

I like my Aukey 10 foot cable. I haven't tried it with the Turbo Charger.

I think they all get loose after a while. I bought a nice one at Target and after a month it went bad, I now have to jiggle it at the USB side for it to work, do they make anything like they used too????
I am having a nightmare trying to find any USB 3.0/ 3.1 type c to type c (at least 5gbps) cables in the UK longer than 3ft!! I have found a couple of 3 ft ones but I will be using it to charge my S8, there is no way a 3ft cable is going to reach behind my desk and down to the socket. I would also like to be able to use it as more than purely a charging cable, hence wanting 5gbps or the newer 10gbps speeds. I am amazed there isn't a single cable longer than 3ft for it other than a few old usb 2.0 ones which are useless these days (and I suspect won't even charge it at full speed).
Couple of 3ft ones, one by Belkin and one by Anker, but nothing longer (in the UK anyway). There must be a demand for them, connecting a charger will need longer than 3ft for anyone that has it on a desk, and connecting it to the back of a pc of docking station will as well!

They have a few others on there as well that are 6 ft.

I don't see why not use 2 cables. Personally I use 2 cables simply because always having to pull the cable and do what I got to do then put it back from my desk is real bothersome. I don't know how your setup is however.
If you're looking for a cable to use with the OEM charger, the unboxing videos I've seen show the included charger with a USB A connection, so you would need a C-to-A cable. (You might already be aware, just making sure.)

Yeah I am using 2 cables, this is the second one. I already have a 6ft USB C to A cable so that's covered, I just want a c to c cable 6ft and at least 5gbps usb 3.0 so it is somewhat future proof (vs all the usb 2.0 versions I keep finding that are too old and slow for my needs).

Yep I have C to A already. No Idea why C to C at longer than 3ft is so hard to find, I'll just have to wait I guess.
C to C isn't all that popular currently. There are very few things out right now that require C to C.

Both of you are acting like children. The likely reason why its so hard to find is because the manufacturers likely consider the main use-case to be phone to phone data transfer or Phone to PC charge and data. In this scenario most people would want the devices relatively close together. It just might be too early for a cable like it to be widely available. I managed to find 1 (I think) on the amazon UK site. It comes in a pack of 5 cables with varied lengths. It appears they have the cable but I don't see it in a stand-alone pack just yet.

I'm not sure why you are saying I acted like a child! I was merely saying that nobody is perfect and it's not okay to insult people. He didn't swear at me, he did it to someone else. I intervened as you just did.

Hi so I tried looking around and I believe it's still pretty new so I wanted to know what you guys did.
I just got the Huawei p20 pro and my girlfriend the pixel 2
We need new wires coming from ios and micro usb
Do. You guys recommend magnetic usb c or not yet because they don't support Huawei fast charge and we need atleast 6ft cables
I tried looking online and Amazon but there's too. Many options I don't know which one to go for
Thanks for your help Guys
