I've never had a problem with a stock HTC cable.

Monoprice cables are working.

I didn't get the ones with the choke.

I've been burned too many times by getting "third party" stuff. Sometimes it's absolutely fine, and sometimes it's not and I don't have the time F around to find out. I was burned again this time. Because it's a flip of a coin. Both non HTC cables, both made in china. $6.00 ones do not work 0.87 cent ones do. I thought I was getting a HTC cable orginally (which I'm sure would have worked fine too, if it was). But it was falsely advertised as HTC brand and it was not. Yes I know HTC or Motorola may farm it out. But they will always work though.

Sometimes it's the time involved, not the money, that I will go with a brand name.

If you think everything from China is made to the same specs think again.

Try looking through the reviews on all the micro usb cables on Amazon.

I should have asked for recommendation first. But I thought I was ok going with an "HTC Brand" cable. But I was duped.
