Most micro USB cables that came bundled with phones or gadgets were built so cheaply that they don't even have data pins. They're a pain to sort out whenever I want to program a board.
Im also finding this with USB-C unfortunately
The one good thing about Google's Social media experiment was that guy who reviewed USBC cables to see if they actually adhered to the standards.
It's shocking how many didn't have the proper resistors or components to properly handle data and charging.
I used to keep every cable that came with any electronics. USB-C convinced me to throw away any cable I didn't specifically buy. Even my charging cables are USB4 240w 40gbps because I got so tired of guessing which cable did what. I don't even need those specs but I'll never have to wonder which cable to use.
You cannot make a statement like this and not drop a link or a brand name my guy
Monoprice is my go-to for cables. Has been for years.
Anker builds pretty solid cables too. They're the go-to at my place of work.
Why not, I'm sure plenty of companies make the same cable available across many wholesalers?
I'm sure the USB forum is finding ways to identify cable capabilities easy. /s
They are useful for dummies like me though! When I let my phone run out of battery while installing an update, I thought it was the end for it. But it turned out that it had just bricked itself by desperately using every single ounce of juice, so it could no longer tell the charger that it wanted to charge.
Solved by buying a dumber charger!
I recently went through my collection of Micro USB cables because I couldn't fit them into the drawer anymore. About 80% wouldn't even receive any data at all.
This this this...what the fuck.
If anyone here has a synth and it uses USB and they can't get it to be seen by the computer this is why...ask how I know
My old kindle was a nightmare for this reason. Plus the socket got funky with age on top of that, and eventually there was really like 1 special cable that would work and it always seemed to end up hidden under 50000 things.
Still, that does speak to the battery life of the kindle.
Yep. When I wanted to transfer files between phone and computer I had to try out 3 cables before I found one that was data capable.
