Is there any way for me to be able to recognize if a micro USB cable is good for data transfer as opposed to just charging?

I have quite a few micro USB cables but not all of them allow me connect my Android device to my computer (I've tried both on linux and Windows). Most of them (the majority) charge the device but don't recognize it when connected.

Would appreciate any insight on this so as to avoid buying the wrong cable in the future.

Thanks

A very easy way to connect two PCs is to use a USB-USB cable. By connecting two PCs with a cable like this, you can transfer files from one PC to another, and even build a small network and share. The USB standard provides for notifying the device that it can fast charge if it sees that the data pins on the device end of the cable are shorted together. Apple is non-standard in this respect, but rewiring cables this way has worked with all my Android devices (4 Samsung phones and 2 Amazon Kindle Fires).

No. XKCD made a good cartoon about how frustrating this is.

When you identify a cable that works well, you could mark it so it's easier to find next time, maybe by wrapping it with a piece of electrical tape.

I know this question is a little old, but I figured it out last night, I believe.

On the ends of a USB cable, there is normally the USB logo:

However, this is apparently missing on the 'charge only' cords. After looking at 2-3 of them last night looking for a data cable, I realized that 'fact'. I don't know if that's a standard for all manufacturers, but I seriously doubt the random ones I was looking at were the same brand.

One of the cords with the missing logo had a paper flag/label that said it's only a charging cable, further qualifying that it does not transfer data.

Please post as a comment if you find this to be wrong. I'd like to hear other's results.

You have 2 types of cables,

Sync

-one is a charging cable and this contains inside it only Two Wires (Positive & Negative) It Can't Transfer Data,

-and the other is a Data Cable and this Contains Inside it Four Wires (Positive, Negative, Data transfer & Data Receive),

So when you go and buy a cable ask for a 'Data Cable' Not a Charge Cable, That's It.
