    Crap cables!!!!

    I have a Galaxy S1 and the wife has an ACER E40.
    For some reason we only have one USB/charge cable between us
    So far I have bought 5 MICRO-USB cables and none of the bloody things work
    The phones both indicate they are charging yet the meter never seems to move, in fact you can leave them plugged in all night and the power level % remains the same.
    None alow data transfer, I just get USB device not recognised on my PC.

    I tried the cable on my daughters HTC, same result.

    I would have thought MICRO USB was MICRO USB

    Any ideas?

    BTW, original cable works perfect on all phones

    I get this and I've come to the conclusion that cheap micro usb cables are to be avoided. The cables that come with devices seem to be fine but cheap after market ones tend to be problematic.
