Is there a cable longer then the original that will charge like the original?
The cable is too short, and i cant find a longer one anywhere. I need one that would charge the phone fast like the original.
I use a 3 foot usb cable extension with mine

There is nothing special about the original cable, it is just a data cable/charge cable. It is the charger that is special. The stock charger is internally shorted to charge [email protected]?2 amps not [email protected] Get a good quality 6 foot data/charge cable from monoprice. The monoprice cables have small ends that fit on almost all cases with smaller USB holes. EBay cables are hit or miss.

Grab your stock charger, install Galaxy Charging Current on your phone and test different cables. You'll see that the stock cable charges much faster. This goes for car chargers too. I have a Samsumg OEM 2 A car charger that I tested with different cables. The difference between the stock cable and even good quality cables is notorious. What really isn't that special is the charger. Even a USB charging port from a laptop can provide more than 500 mA. By the way, you are confusing DC and AC currents.if you are referring to the 500 mA of the USB standard, they are DC too.
That being said, I too wish there was a 3 meter cable that could charge as fast as the Samsung original.

I bought my phone brand new from a local Verizon Corporate store and obviously my phone came with the Galaxy Note 3's standard white Samsung 2.1amp charger and white USB 3.0 charging cable. I needed extras and wanted to order something as close to stock performance and charging speeds that I could get without paying out the a$$ for a couple of real OEM wall chargers and cables from Verizon, so I did a little research and found a couple of good combos off Amazon that matched the same charging rates that the OEM charger/cable combo gives me.
I ordered an Amazon Basics 2.1amp output wall charger, this Amazon Basics 9ft long USB 3.0 cable, this small/low profile PNY 12volt/2.1amp "Rapid Charge" Car Charger, and this 8ft long Mediabridge USB 3.0 "SuperSpeed" Cable.
I tested combos of each cable(OEM White Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Cable, Amazon Basics Cable, and the Mediabridge Cable) with EACH charger(OEM White Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Wall Charger, Amazon Basics 2.1amp Wall Charger, and the PNY 2.1amp Car Charger) using the "Galaxy Charging Current" app and got the same results all across the board with each combo, even the Samsung Charger/Samsung Cable combo. So unless that app spits out skewed numbers on a consistent basis, I believe it's safe to say that as long as you get a decent quality charger that can truly pump out 2.1amps like the OEM Samsung Charger and a decent cable to pair up with whatever charger you purchase, there's no need to spend the big bucks and go OEM....unless you're just one of those kinds of people that HAS to have OEM everything just for the extra peace of mind and to make sure all of their accessories are of the same matching Samsung brand. I see no reason to spend that kind of money when a MUCH cheaper alternative will get the job done just the same, PLUS the "craftsmanship" and quality of the aftermarket chargers/cables I mentioned appears to be outstanding, if not maybe even a little better than the OEM Samsung combo...besides the fact that the fancy OEM cable has the glossy, white, square-shaped plugs at the each end of the cable with the "SAMSUNG" name emblazoned on them and those aftermarket cables gave me a hard time squeezing past the charger cutout on my Spigen Slim Armor Case(some shaving of the plug is necessary in order for them to fit through my Slim Armor charging cutout).
If you're not concerned with all that fanciness, save yourself quite a few bucks and opt for the cheaper alternatives...just do yourself a favor and do your research first...you WON'T be disappointed. :good::good::good:
You got lucky. I've tested about half dozen cables by now and none of them managed to deliver the same current as the stock cable. Out of curiosity, what current did you get? 1800 mA?
Yeah, it's mostly testing with the Galaxy Charging app on whether or not you get the max current or not. I got lucky that my wife's Lumia's data cable is at par with the stock cable and use that for Ingress sessions. I also use the HP Touchpad wall charger as a secondary charger, it gives out 2.1 amps, one of the best chargers around.

I have also tested with various combinations of the OEM sammy cable and charger, AmazonBasics 3' and 9' USB3 cables, a nexus 7 wall charger and an Anker 2.4W car charger. All did very well and charged around 1800mA. My laptop charges it at a little under 500mA.
I also had to shave the AmazonBasics end to fit with my Slim Armor case. I don't get why they made it so large in the first place, its HUGE. Also, the AmazonBasics cord is very thick and stiff, more like cable TV cable.

I'm with you. I've been using that cheap sprint 2amp dual use ac/car charger with the monoprice cables and it charges just as fast as the stock samsung combo.
By the way, ~9 feet (3 meters) is a long ways to charge something.
If you ever notice if you buy one of the cheap cigarette lighter chargers it shows USB charging in the battery properties. This limits it to around 500ma. It must be internally wired to charge at the USB standard. Now buy cigarette Lighter 'fast charger' and it will show AC charging in the battery properties. It must be internally wired to charge at a higher amperage.

In the bottom line, only the samsung original cable can charge with maximum power?
No, just a good quality cable imho. Monoprice 6 footer or similar. Only one thing that bothers me with monoprice cable is the wire tends to pull out of the terminated end if you pull at it too much. What I love about them is the terminated ends are small.

Hi
Sorry if this is a repost but I couldn't find answer anywhere.
I am looking to get a 3m cable to charge my Note3, the extension cables I have tried have varied in success, I have 1 that works well and is fast but the wife has claimed it and I can't find where I got it from.
I am happy to use the supplied plug, extension (e meters) and OEM cable or the supplied plug and a complete USB to USB 3.0 micro B cable (3meters). Does anyone know of a tried an tested 3 meter cable that offers a good charging time?
Also, does the USB 3 micro B cable charge faster than a standard USB to micro USB cable? I know the transfer rate is quicker just not sure if the charge/power rate is better?
Any help appreciated.

The charging rate is the same. The difference is in the carrying capacity of the cable (the cable rating). If the port you're using can output enough Amps to make charging faster (the stock wall charger is 2.1 Amp), you also need a good cable to go along. The cable that comes with the phone is able to sustain 2A charging rates. But if you're buying a 3rd party cable, check the Amp rating. USB 2 or 3 won't matter if the cable can only sustain 1A current flow. This purports to be able to carry 2.1 Amps... http://www.amazon.com/Hi-mobiler-Hi-Speed-Gold-Plated-Connectors-Smartphone/dp/B00TCBTFYK

I have 2 of these 3 meter Mediabridge USB 2.0 cables I really like. They're rated for at least 2.5 amps.
Sorry but I can't post links yet since I don't post often. Below is the info though.

You might try this 10' 24/28GA USB cable from monoprice ($1.46) There's a 15' one, too, costs a whole 0.50 more.
The issue with long cables is that, if you use thin conductors, there's a voltage drop (resistance drops voltage), which can reduce charge speed or even put you out of USB spec. These cables use thicker conductors to carry current.
Don't let the prices fool you; monoprice cables are pretty decent.
Thanks for all the answers and advice. One of the cables was £90! The others don't deliver to Scotland

Thats about £86 more than I paid per cable.
I saw this one on Amazon UK for £5.99. In the customer Q & A section someone said it delivered a full 2 amps.

They do a braided nylon option which would really suit my needs.
Poor reviews on the springs on the micro USB end though which surprises me with anker

I posted the following yesterday but it didn't seem to be here today....
I used an app called ' Galaxy charging current' to check the current being delivered. I found the following.
Always using the supplied OEM 3pin plug.
1. OEM cable only = 1200mA
2. 3m USB extension and OEM cable = 650mA
3. 3m braided USB to micro USB = 850mA
I'm going to test my wireless charger at work tomorrow.

I bought both the 3ft and 10ft red braided cables on the 29th of may, used them almost daily since (10ft for sure, 3ft I only use in the car so not as often) and I've got no issues with the retaining pins. In fact they're bloody stiff, they fit in my Nexus 7's loose USB port (dropped it with a cable plugged in, ruined the cable, loosened the USB port) as if there's no issue at all.
Also got the 6ft non-braided one for a mate (he doesn't have Prime) on the 29th of March and I haven't heard him complain about it at all. It may just be a bad batch with failing pins.
If you want any pics/info on the red braided cables feel free to ask.
Have you checked amazon? Compare prices to ebay
I just got my S9 yesterday, and need a few cables for the car, office, etc. The Samsung OEM is pretty expensive, so I'm looking into Anker ones. I've used Anker products before without problems. Does anyone have any feedback on Anker or other brand, type C cables that work well with Samsung phones? Thanks!
In the same boat, first C device in the house, 2x s9
I started with the anker adapter 2 pack. Looking at the usb3 powerline anker, the plus look thicker, good or bad, not sure. Been a few years since i bought cables. Just looking for fast charging myself,
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AHKYIRS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I bought this 5 pack of cables for my G6 and I have used them fine with the S9 in the car.
There is a 6' cable (for work), three 3' (one each in both cars with spare I don't know where), and the 1' is used with my portable charger.
they work fine, are braided and thick.

i got the belkin ones since they ended up being $8 each with best buy 3 accessory discount promo. problem is they are 6ft, little long for in the car imho. seem to be pretty good quality, says 2 year warranty
I finally received my Anker cables, and they work as they should. Good product for the price.
In case anyone wants to try them, they're the Anker PowerLine USB-C to USB 3.0 Cable (3ft) with 56k Ohm Pull-up Resistor.

I've been using those same cables. Working very well for me, too. Check out the links here for reviews of other good USB-c cables:

I got these - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01LYW4WIY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 by Choetech. They are great quality and fast charging works.
I'm using anker. They are very good.
Still really happy with the Choetech cables after a couple of months. One of them did bring up a "moisture detected" message a couple of times but they all seem fine now.
Aukey 3 pack on Amazon. No issues. One gets baked in the car. One gets beat up at work. One at home. OEM cord is still in the box.
This has been my favorite cable to date. Long, braided and the ends have a stress relief part of rubber to connect the cable and connector.

Not advised since the length of the cable drops the voltage, but I use these to make 20ft C to C cables...

I am surprised to see that I need an original onplus cable to enjoy dash charging, the one that came with my op6t is the usual 1m which is short for my installation. The electricity socket being far from my desk I need a 2 meters cable like the one I always used but dash compatible. Where can I find one?
I just bought the following cable and Dash Charge works perfectly: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07LBR54RD/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_XO8nCbB02GB5G

Long USB Cable that works with Dash Charging?
Greetings All,
Can anyone recommend a long usb cable, at least 2m, that works with Dash charging?
Thanks
Been using these forever now, 6ft nylon braided and it DOES support dash chsrge. Phone makes noise and lightning bolt flashes when plugged in.

The 2m cable that I bought last year for the 6t is starting to go wacko, it will show warp on my 7 pro but it won't charge in warp speed, I bought the one in the last link, I will see if it will charge as fast as stock cable
Does anyone know what specification USB C car charger I should buy to charge rapidly? I tried my old OnePlus car charger but that uses a different technology and charges relatively slowly.
I have and use both of these. Work great and no issues so far. Many will recommend Anker too. good luck

I believe it's USB c pd 2.0 (power delivery).
I bought this at Wal-Mart on clearance for $13. It includes the charger and an extra USB c to c cable. It states now "rapidly charging" when connected and it is quite fast. Can't tell about durability since I bought it yesterday. Reviews say it's cheap, but so far so good. If you look for it, make sure it has the USB c to c cable and states 5.2 amps on the box. There is another with a USB a to c and 4.8 amps that is not pd 2.0.
Thanks all,
In the end I bought https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07PN4SKGQ...+charger&qid=1557994468&s=gateway&sr=8-2&th=1 - I liked the form factor and it seems (after 1 day of use) pretty robust.
