Why does only the USB cable that came with my phon...
I recently acquired a Nokia Lumia Icon from Verizon. I have a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 computer running Windows 8.1 with the Windows Phone App for Desktop (WPA4D) installed. I had a very difficult time getting my Icon to be seen by my computer when connecting it with one of the half dozen micro USB cables I have laying around. WPA4D would not recognize it. Then, I connected it using the USB cable that came with the phone, and WPA4D immediately recognized it. Then I unplugged it and went back to a different cable - it was again not recognized.
What is different about the USB cable that ships with the Nokia Lumia Icon? If I want to order more, like from Monoprice, what do I order to get the same thing? Why is Nokia (apparently) using some sort of proprietary cable??
Thanks,
Eric
It is not proprietary.The charging/data cable for my GPS works.
A lot of the cables are just for charging and that is all they are wired for and they don't even have the data pin. Full size USB cables are the same way.
If I needed an extra I would get it from Nokia.

I lost the USB cable that came with my phone (wt19i Live With Walkman)
I lost the USB cable that came with my phone (wt19i Live With Walkman). However, the charging power adapter still here.
I don't have any other cable.
My phone's USB port use Micro-B connector.
If I buy a high quality USB cable with Micro-B connector, will it be compatible for both charging and data transfer?

I used to be able to just plug in my phone with the USB cable to my Windows 7 computer and browse phone storage with no issues. Now my computer sees it as an android phone but when it tries to automatically install the drivers for my phone on the computer, i get an access denied error message. No option on the phone that i can see that allows me to mount phone as a usb drive. This used to work just fine with nothing more than just hooking up the cable. What gives??
Let's get that access granted again, e_rock_b. The HTC DNA doesn't have a special USB Mass Storage Mode that needs to be turned on. Usually, it's as simple as connecting and browsing http://vz.to/1jktbZD as you mentioned. If your computer is no longer allowing that easy access, try the steps at http://vz.to/1jktvr6.

When I use the same cable with the wall adapter it charges just fine.
LOL My situation is the opposite. plug my iPhone 3GS with USB cable and attach to mini adaptor (or whatever the small one is called) and it does not charge. Connect the same iPhone 3GS to my MacBook, using same cable, an charging takes place for iPhone. Then, connected the iPhone to the AC power with the large Apple AC adaptor and it always charges. Seems to be the small adaptor and sometimes a third party automobile adapter.
At first I thought this might be because I was using third party USB cable, but now wonder about that since there are so many problems that others are having.
Having scoured the discussions, it appears no definitive answer has been given. Am I wrong. Maybe I never found the answer to what is happening here.
if you can help, please reply to help all of us with the issue still - June 2011.
Thanks! -

Why do my iPhone cords for my 5 say it is not certified and may not work with this device? It's the same cord that came with my phone. The only difference is the iOS7 update.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Troubleshooting iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch accessories

Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to its factory default state. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue.
Best of luck,

when i plug my phone into the usb port with the apple charger that came with my phone i get an error msg say charging not supported by this device. But when i use a gigaware (radioshack brand) usb charger, no error msg. Why?
- Try restoring the iPod, first from backup and then try to factory settings/new iPod to rule out a software problem.
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and broken or cracked plastic.
- Could you have damaged something when you took the iPod apart and replaced the Home button? -
my iphon 5 said "only compatible sim cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iphone. please insert the sim card that came with ur phone or visit a supported carrier's store to receive a replacement sim card" what do i do??? i leave in diferent country now!!!???(((
in many countries to make phones seem less expensive
carriers pay most of the phones price for the customer
but this come at the cost of the phone only being able to work
with the carrier this is called a sim lock
the only people who can remove a sim lock is the carrier which
the phone is sim locked to they been doing it like that for at least 20 years -
I lost the original USB cord that came with my phone. I don't have enough available space on my phone to update wirelessly either and no matter how much I delete I still can't seem to free up enough space to update. I don't know what to do? My phone won't connect to any iTunes.
You have two options at this point.
Option 1
1) Buy another cord and attach to itunes (applestore will have them or you can order them online).
2) Find another cord to use.
Option 2
1) Connect your device to a wifi connection and plug device into a power source.
2) Backup your device in icloud using: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766.
3) Erase all content and settings.
4) Setup as a new iphone (and do not restore from backup).
5) Your phone should now be completely blank.
6) software update over wifi.
7) Setup your phone and restore from icloud backup.
8) Gratz your running the latest version. -

You do have iTunes installed right?

What is function of USB cable that came with 15" PowerBook G4 Combo?
Here's a really easy way to score 10 points.
Among the cables that shipped with my 15" PowerBook G4 Combo and the accompanying 20" Cinema Display two years ago is a USB cable with a silver cord. At the other end from the USB plug is a black triangular plug with a square metal end encased in plastic. (I can't get the plastic off, so I assume it's part of the plug and not protective casing for shipping.)
Can somebody please tell me what this cable is for? I never found anything in the documentation that explained what it was, and since I've apparently never needed it, I don't know. I looked at the Forums for the 15" G4 but didn't know what search terms to use, and a Google Image search didn't turn up anything I recognized.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 15"Oh, jeez. And I thought this would be simple.
Alas, I can't remember whether it came with the PB or the display, but I think Michael might be right (more pyramidal than triangular). Head-on: mouth is the right shape, doesn't have what looks like a notch in his drawing.
The tech at AppleCare also thought it sounded like a printer/scanner USB cable. It's definitely not one of the short connector critters in the article a brody refers to (but it was fun looking at the pictures).
I did a scan and have a clear picture of the plug, but no website to put it on; I'm also not sure what a brody's instructions refer to. (Look at it this way, if I knew stuff like that I probably wouldn't be posting a topic like this.)
So I have another idea: I live near an Apple store, and I'll go there soon, and if someone there can identify it (based on past experience, I'm not so sure), I'll come back here and then we'll know.
Thanks to all. Anon. -
my device doesn't seem to be recognized by iTunes with the cable provided with the brand-new iPad Air? I am unable to synch. Suggestions.? Is that cable in the box only for charging? It is a lightning cable and I did upload the latest Operating systems for both the iPad and iTunes.
It is a sync cable.
Try a different usb port.
reinstall itunes.
Turn the pc off/on.
