Is the cable a data/charging cable or a charging only cable? I have read that the charging only cable will charge things faster.

Recently when I was searching for a replacement for my data transfer cable for my portable hard drive, somehow it came up that I could use the charger cable that came with my Samsung Galaxy S3. I hope this is helpful.

That cable is heavier but I haven't tried it with my hard drive yet. Logically speaking, why shouldn't it?

It's a USB cable. Should be fast on any phone. The S3 is USB 2.0, BB10's are 3.0 compliant.

I would say to look elsewhere for a cable to charge most newer smart phones. I have had this cable for a year now and it never really was fast at charging but recently has become so bad that even with my phone plugged in and NOT using the phone it will drain the battery. I am very disappointed because I have bought shorter cables for about a dollar that charge faster than this one.

Yes. This cable is power and data wired. Be sure if you are getting cables for reasons other than charging your electronics, it must state that it is a data cable as well. This cable simply extends the USB port, so it is wired for both power and data.

Hi, I just tried charging two Galaxy S4 phones with this device. They are displaying a charging status. What I don't know for sure is what charge current they're drawing. If there's a way to get the phone to tell me that, let me know and I'll check (yeah I could cut the cable and put an ammeter on it, but I'm not quite that curious...).

No, one cable is for data, one only provides power. It will work at the same speed as any other usb cable.

It does charge pretty fast for a non brand charger. Prob not as fast as the charger the phone actually came with but MUCH FASTER than when i tried to use a different charger. My phone previously warned me that it would charge slowly bc the charger was not meant for my phone. But with this charger it does not say that.

NO. IT ISN'T! When I plugged it into my computer's USB drive as far as my computer was concerned there was nothing there. It will charge your phone but I've stopped using it for that too because who knows how much voltage and amperage it's really pulling and I decided it wasn't worth risking a$700.00+ phone for a cheap cord. All of Samsung's cords except for one are back ordered by 4+ weeks. I went to Samsung's US website and for $19.99 ordered a Data Charging Cable that you can plug into your computer's USB port for file transfers and also to charge the phone. The easiest way to get to the item to order it is to go to www.Samsung.com\US\support, type in the name of your phone, then choose your model phone from the drop-down menu (phone models are specific to wireless carrier). When that takes you to your phone's support page, choose accessories & check "Data Cable". It should take you right to it. Oh, to order you have to have a Samsung account which if you don't have one already you can sign up for one on the website. Also I registered my phone on their website & got an email with a link for 50% off the purchase of anything under $50. Hope this answered your questions.

I use this cable for charging of two Amazon Tablets. Have not used it for data transfer so unable to comment on its ability for data transfer. Works fine for charging.

This is NOT a charger. It is only a charging cable. I was very dissaoointed that I spent that money for a charging cable

That is the fastest way to charge both the phone and case. It will charge if you leave it in the case but it will charge slower that way

I received this a couple of days ago and it has a charging cable. Some people might think it is the wrong cable but it fits on the right side of the port. You don't need the data side to charge the battery.

Yes the USB is also the charging cable. I load my pics using USB all the time.

It is not a charging cable. It is for transferring data from a thumb drive to your phone or vice versa. It is great.

The charging cable has a USB connector. Just get a USB adapter that fits into any electric outlet. Mine works fine. I recommend 2 amps for faster charging. (I just bought this one for my husband. The one I have is about a year old and I like it very well.)

For charging only. You will not be able to access your device with the cable. Wish I would have known this before I bought it.

I use a PC, but it does support data transfer as well as charging. I have had the cable only a short time, but it is working just fine.
