[Q] Did Samsung change their USB cable design? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have Nexus S (T-Mobile) and all of the USB cables I ordered in the past looked like this -

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But seller sent me these (below) claiming it's genuine. I'm guessing this is for Verizon model (since it has V-Cast tag?).. he thought there was a mistake and sent me another one but it's the same cable.
Did Samsung change their USB cable design overall or is that only for Verizon models?
So could anyone enlighten me...?
Thanks!

It seems as if they have. Should still work just as quickly.

It works but I don't want a knock-off and just wanted to be sure before I contact the seller again so I don't make a mistake.. because I thought all Samsung branded USB cable looked like the first picture I posted. Thanks!

I have just bought a galaxy note and the supplied usb cable in the box looks just like what you have been sent.

HTC wall charger from expansys??

Hi.
Expansys is selling a wall charger for HTC Shift. I was going to buy it but if you see the photo the jack isnt the correct one. So....Is the image wrong or are they selling a charger for other product?. I ve called twice and the operator is trying to contact HTC but no answer until now.....
Any idea?

The photo is the second section of the charger for the OQO e2
Expansys mixes up their photo's all the time....
Until now I didn't get any wrong stuff from them dispite that.
(But hey... there's a first time for everything )

Errhhh, it looks pretty much like my Shift charger, except that mine has a magnet around the cable about 4 inches from the connector. The connector looks identical.

bamp. am i worrying about nothing?
Have you tried the one from monoprice yet? I have one of their cables as well(10ft) and the plug is exactly the same as your picture. I used it on my OG evo and it worked. The only problem was it was a really tight fit and I felt like it was going to rip my usb port out when I removed it.(It happened to my friends evo so I know its possible) Needless to say I only used it once and thats it.
its pretty tight, plugging in and out.
im keeping a close eye on it.
It will work fine...
And yes its safe to use....

Pretty sure I wasted my money my stupid note..

I literally bought a new note, only because it had the screen I wanted over the galaxy SIII because android 4.1 SAID IT SUPPORTED USB AUDIO...CM10 has been out for the note for MONTHS and we STILL DONT HAVE USB AUDIO
But the galaxy SIII has USB audio work perfectly fine..WTF
So, you bought a phone but are mad it doesn't have the features of another phone that is newer, that is on a more recent version of an OS and its the phones fault that "you wasted money"??
Sounds like you should have done more research..

Well I am pretty sure if you feel this way, then take measures to replace your device, posting will not address your issues/wants and or requirements. Additionally homework on your end would help in your quest.
Thank You and....

Problem with s3 handset

Hi guys
My brother picked up a galaxy s3 cheap last week and this message stays on the screen. Also the any sim card he puts in it doesn't work.
It looks like someone has done something to root/rom it. Can anyone help me get it to the standard samsung rom?
