I ended up buying a cheap 5 dollar 6ft micro USB cable from Amazon, And it must not be able to handle a full 1 amp of power to go through it. It takes FOREVER to charge the phone through that cable, So I had to go back to the short HTC cable.
 
Some cables are shorted internally which identifies itself as a high power cable, this tells the device that it can draw up to 1.5 amps instead of the usual 500 ma. Of course the power supply must be capable of the higher current draw, even with the special cable standard usb ports on a pc can only deliver 500 ma. The device, in our case, the phone also has to be capable of fast charging and must have it enabled. This just covers the power aspect of a usb cable, we haven't even begun to discuss the data connection! :p:rolleyes:

i want to transfer files quickly.. I'm trying to root my phone ,but my cable is a cheap made in china crap that is falling apart. What is a good brand?
 
I either use stock just for charging and then I have a 10' flat Aduro that connects my TV to the dock. :thumbup:
