Hi there
Can anyone recommend where I can get a good quality but cheap micro usb cable for my samsung mobile phone? I bought one from the pound shop, which charges fine, but I am looking to install cyanogenmod and the quality isn't good enough for the data transfer that I need. Any official leads recommended? Thanks:beer:

What do you mean the quality isn't good enough for the data transfer?
It's a digital cable, it'll either work or it won't (generally), if it connects and the phone is seen by the PC it should work fine.
The main difference between the cheap ones and the more expensive ones with the likes of usb cables is the build quality (will it work at all, and how well it copes with long term use being pulled about repeatedly).
The only problem I've ever had with cheap usb cables is that the connectors tend to wear out/become loose fitting after a while.0
