USB cable

[Extremme]

I realised all my USB cable seems to be only for charging. Anyone knows where I can buy data transfer cable from Qoo10?

No way to tell from those mountains of USB cables I have

How do you change that? I also tried using those cable to upgrade firmware for my gimbal but it also state not detected and it only charged my gimbal so I reckon its because the cable is only for charging?

Have u tried for other devices? Like other phones?

Test the cable using the USB debugger mode on the smartphone. If the desktop/laptop detected the smartphone, the USB cable is a charging cable plus data cable

Another way to test is by observing the charging mode of the devices connected to the cable, if the device can be charge at 1/2a, that cable is a charging and data cable because the micro USB port on the device detected pin 4 which is the ID pin of the port. If a cable comes with ID pin, it must be a 4 wires USB cable with the D- and D+ pins for data transfer.

Some cables may not be of a better quality.. i did encountered before.

Quality cables that charge fast & data transfer come at a premium price.

Buy Amazonbasics cables. Stop getting the cheap China $1 SLS cables.
