What's a USB charging cable? It's a USB cable with the 2 data pins shorted out.
Whether we're talking 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0, there are still two kinds of cables. The ones that ship with phones are called Data cables. For wall chargers, you're better off with an honest to goodness charging cable. All the cables I've collected over the years came with phones. So they're all data cables. Data cables don't have the data pair shorted out. Charging cables do.
After figuring this out, I dragged out a bunch of old wall chargers that I couldn't get to work with my Blackberries over the years. With the charging cables they all work.
Looking around the internet reviews, it looks like an awful lot of people don't understand this distinction. As far as I can tell, any wall charger will work with any phone or tablet as long as the Amp (wattage) requirement is met. No mystery. You'd think all the folks that make USB wall chargers would short out the data pair to avoid all those negative comments on the internet about their charger not working with this or that
