Huawei M5 MediaPad 10.8
I'm curious if anyone else using a Huawei tablet has had this disconnect issue when using aftermarket cables?
When I first purchased this tablet back in November 2018 I quickly realized that the only way I could get the tablet to stay connected to the RC was to use the original OEM USB-C cable it came with. I tried several other high grade USB-C cables and whenever the cable is touched/moved even the slightest bit, it disconnects. I found that using the original OEM cable solved this issue. I continued using the OEM cable from then until now without any issues.
I recently lost the OEM cable and am struggling with this issue again. This issue is only when using the cable for data transfer (such as being connected to the RC or connected to a computer to transfer files). The aftermarket cables charge the tablet fine even if the cable is touched/moved. They do not however transfer data consistently unless you can be completely 100% still while doing so (obviously not feasible for flight).
I have been in communication with Huawei to try and get a new factory cable, but no luck yet. I am unable to find an original oem factory cable for sale anywhere.
If anyone knows where to get one of these factory cables and/or has had this issue and knows how to fix it I would greatly appreciate any and all advice!
I'm tempted to tear this thing apart and re-solder/check for loose connection on the USB-C port, but since the factory cable has always worked, I'm not sure it will actually fix anything. In other words, I'm not 100% convinced that the USB-C port is actually loose/disconnecting since the factory oem cable always works just fine. Maybe the factory cable is just a tighter fit, I really don't know at this point.
