So I recently upgraded from a Xperia Play, which I've been using a 6ft usb cable from Monoprice to charge along with the original OTG wall outlet adapter. After upgrading and plugging in the Note 2, I've noticed that while it says "charging" it never actually goes up in charge, and seems to only SLOWLY go down in charge. My assumption is that the cable is only supplying a very limited charge to the device... maybe only like a quarter of the power the OEM cable does.
So now to the questions:
1- What is the reason behind this? Is there a fix where I can keep using the same cable?
2- If I can't fix it easily, is there another (preferably cheap?) 6ft cable I can buy? If so, what keywords/terms should I be looking for when making this purchase?
Many apologies if this has been answered, but I tried searching and couldn't find answers to my exact question. Links to the other threads would be welcome
