Phone only charges with nexus 7 cable - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

It all started about a month ago, I noticed that the battery percentage started to go down when it was plugged in and in use. At first I thought it was the cable, because I tried with a nexus 7 cable, and it charged like it suppose to. I used different cables (generic, galaxy vibrant, stock and nexus 7), neither charged except the nexus 7 one. It can be the wall charger because it charged, and th cables work on other devices. I think its the internal usb port, but why would it work with the nexus cable?

Does the nexus 7 cable has anything different from other micro usb cables?

MHL cables?

Do you stream any videos from your Nexus to your TV via MHL? If so, how exactly does it work? Also, what cable brands would you recommend?

Note II Not Charging Properly...

I have a relative who is has note 2 that was recently rooted. We have gone through many different roms trying to resolve the issue, but to no avail. The phone can sit on the charger for over 12 hrs straights, and will not reach 100%. currently it has been charging for 8 hrs, and is only at 35%. could the wise minds of XDA assist me in coming up with a solution to this particular issue?
Likely a faulty usb cable.

Faulty cable or bad usb port ..... are they charging it with wall or usb from computer ? Usb from computer will not give enough amps to charge it

Call Samsung they'll fix it under warranty.

The note 2 uses a stock 2amp charger. If you are using any other charger, you will have that problem. Most other chargers only output .5amps

All valuable points, one more to go with them, a faulty battery can do the same thing.

Yep, welcome to the club. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2404135
There are a few people who are having the same issue. And seems like you (and me included) are part of that unfortunate lot including even Nexus 4 users.
No solution in sight so far :\

Micro USB otg

I just bought the Nexus 7 32GB yesterday and I am coming from a Toshiba Thrive. I am looking at OTG cables for the main purpose to charge USB speaker and possibly my Samsung S3. Is this possible? Thanks.

You're looking to use your new tablet as a charger? Why not just buy a pocket charger, which have been coming down in price?
I used my Toshiba thrive since it had a full usb charger to charge my speaker which was usb chargable and my phone there was no open outlets.
