:-( seems it wasn't the cable after all.

Talking cables, I'm using Milkshake? brand retractable with DUO? combo 
micro/mini USB, really great idea, micro is on 'sliding rail', I use it with 
probably all my USB micro our mini things.

I'm not sure it charges my old L2 Motorola, but charges everything else.

2012-03-20 Thread Martin Visser
I've never felt much love for those type of cables. What you gain in
compactness, you lose in reliability, in my experience. They tend to use
thinner gauge wire (to enable the smaller) bending radius, which either
limit current (well, increase voltage drop) or just break through fatigue.
Also the ratchets are, well, ratsh*t.

Finally, I have even seen (have) Ethernet type cables in this holland-blind
format that seem to have pairs that aren't twisted, so I don't feel like
risking my Gigabit bits on them with the expected crosstalk.
