Google Nexus 6P USB-C Charging

Re: USB-C Charging

I received the OnePlus Type-C cable. It's pretty nice. I'm using it with the Fastmac U-Socket, and my phone displays "Charging rapidly". Looks like a promising setup.
 
Re: USB-C Charging

I'm not sure if that's true. What about the following cable...

PECHAM C32 Nylon Braided 6.6ft USB3.1 Type C Cable USB-C to USB-C Male Cable Reversible, High-Speed Data Cable for Macbook 12 Inch, ChromeBook Pixel, Nokia N1 Tablet and Other Type C Supported Device

Amazon.com: PECHAM C32 Nylon Braided 6.6ft USB3.1 Type C Cable USB-C to USB-C Male Cable Reversible, High-Speed Data Cable for Macbook 12 Inch, ChromeBook Pixel, Nokia N1 Tablet and Other Type C Supported Device: Computers & Accessories

Except someone is saying they are OOS until mid Nov to early Dec?

"I have to comment out of the 9 reviews on here, most have gotten a free product for their "fair and unbiased" review. Which one guy tried it on his friends equipment. I do not trust the reviewers on here when I see a vendor giving stuff to guys for free and they say it is AMAZING!!
Of course if I did not earn it and it worked ok, I too would say it is AMAZING!!

As far as the product, I will probably order one, they look like a nice cable from the pictures but the USB-C 3.1 devices are new and am curious if they will truly fast charge a Nexus 5x. I just got mine and no one seems to have anything out for them as of Oct 23rd 2015

And how are these guys reviewing the Type C to Type C in Sept 2015 when I am trying to order one on Oct 23 and they say they will not be in stock and received from Nov 18th to Dec 8th 2015....HMMMMMM"

Its great if it works. Personally I'm waiting for 10 foot cables. I have a bunch of them around the house and love it. I'll patiently wait.
 
Re: USB-C Charging

What type of adapter should be used for C to A cables like the OPT cable, or just regular A cables/charger? Also, would it be worth getting C chargers from other OEM's?

I have one of the C to C cables on the way and will report on the quality when it arrives.
 
Re: USB-C Charging

Probably a silly question, but don't the cables themselves need a power brick? I have one of those power centers where I can plug in multiple devices, and I leave my charger plugged in one of the sockets to charge overnight. Won't I need one to use an adapter for Micro usb?

Re: USB-C Charging

I just purchased 2 of these wall chargers from eBay. Both came to $13.98 total! Ktec USB Charger AC Power Adapter KSA29A0500300D5 *NO CABLE* 5.0V 3.0A 15W Red
I ordered several usb a-2-c cables . I think this will give me the "Charging rapidly" signal.
 
Re: USB-C Charging

Would it be a good idea to buy a OnePlus Two micro usb to usb-c adapter and use a micro usb cable with the adapter to charge? I already bought the OnePlus Two C to A cable for syncing.

I need a longer Type-C Cable

As the title says I'm looking for a charging cable thats longer than the stock one. I am not sure how long it is but its just short of what I am in need of. I want both sides to be Type-C so the included wall charger works. Any suggestions?
 
Re: I need a longer Type-C Cable

Monoprice has a 6ft USB-C. Works fine. Reasonable price.
 
Re: I need a longer Type-C Cable

You're using a different outlet AC adapter though. If I recall correctly the one provided with the phone has a Type C female input so you need a double sided Type C plug.

Click that link again and change the length/color. It's a multiple listing page that includes C to C. I bought a bunch of A to C and C to C because they support USB Fast charging at 5V/3A.
 
Re: I need a longer Type-C Cable


Not all cables are created equal and its more than just wires. Glad someone took the initiative to point this out publicly.

I know everyone is in a rush... Just wait. The market is still maturing.
