Hi,
From last few days, the charger for my Nexus 5 is charging my phone very slowly (around 10-15% in an hour). I tried using my friend's charger (Nexus 5) and it was working properly.
I called Google Play support and they asked me to perform some troubleshooting steps (like running phone in Safe Mode etc..). I performed those steps and issue was still present and I responded them the same. I also conveyed them about phone being charging using different Nexus 5 charger. After that, they replied me with steps to be taken to replace the product. But they have specified to ship whole device i.e. phone alogn with all accessories.
Has anyone replaced any of their phone's accessory before? Here the issue is clearly with charger only so why do I need to ship the whole device?

I'm was facing the exact same problem with my nexus 5. I was also told to pack up everything and ship the device. So i called google and they told me that, I'll get the brand new device even if my charger is at fault. I dont know why they dont just change the charger instead of giving the whole new phone.
PS: My device was just picked up by courier and i will get the new nexus 5 in 2 days :fingers-crossed:
If I were you, I would throw away the stock charger and get the official nexus charger from the playstore (if you think it's worth it) or the blackberry folding blade charger which you can find in the accessories section. It's really not worth swapping your perfectly working device for a new one just because of a charger and seeing that the Nexus 5 is prone to some issues, I would certainly think 10 times before replacing it.

Well, the folding blade charger mentioned in the accessories section looks different. The amazon product page also doesn't specify the charging speed of the charger. Looks fishy to me.
Why don't you order it from the ".com" website?
funny, my charger also started doing the same thing (charging ridiculously slow) about a week ago. Didn't bother about warranty though.

I think the one mentioned in the thread is currently showing sold out on '.com' site.
Don't RMA for a charger when your phone is perfectly fine. The stock charger is slow,
http://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-AC...8-4&keywords=blackberry+folding+blade+charger are the chargers we're talking about they're 1.8A.
http://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-AC...8-4&keywords=blackberry+folding+blade+charger would be your best bet. The others are $5 for 1.
You can read about these chargers for http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo.../hands-best-fastest-cheapest-nexus-5-t2729066 ... I have these chargers, they work great. Got 2 for $5.

-nevermind, its not the same.
The fast charger has dual voltage output. One of the outputs is 9v. I'm fairly sure this is the fast charge element.
Doesn't matter how high the mA rating is for the 5v chargers they will not trigger the fast charge process.
I'm gonna keep looking and post here when I find something!

Step 1 - look at the charger that came with your Note 4. If you don't have one, ask someone who does.

Absolutely not. This is just a regular charger. Rapid charging is not the same thing as adaptive fast charging. Rapid charging is just a function of the 2amp output, vs 0.5amp on old school usb chargers. Rapid charging is 4+ years old technology, and is the standard charger you find almost everywhere.
Ah this really sucks, i had one nicked a few days ago in a hostel in Romania, i will settle for unoffical if anyone has found one?
I think these are both on backorder until November 4th, but it gives you a place to start.

Register your Phone with Samsung.. they will send you a 50% off coupon. Use this to buy as many OEM batteries as you wish.. $20 is cheap for factory battery.
EDIT. Sry I was speaking about the battery rather than the charging cable. But you should also be able to gr the cable from Samsung as well with the coupon code
Are we able to use the Note 4 charger on other things like Bluetooth and such?
Wondering if it would damage them from charging too fast if it does.
Should I buy the Samsung wireless charger or the Verizon one?

Lets see if anybody else is having similar issue.
I found a post that people are saying it's related to the lock screen, when they enable day dream mode it worked for some people. I tried it the phone stayed on for awhile, when I came back a hour later it was flashing blue again so I'm not to sure what the issue is.

Yeah, I can always buy that Samsung Wireless Fast Charger , its just $69 and if you register your new flagship, they are throwing 30% off coupon codes too. However, my point is, if the they have decided to give away these old generation fast chargers, the least it should do is charge. I have tried using a different fast charge adapter and a Nexus 4. Still blinking!
Anyway, I've written back to Samsung about this one, lets hope they get back. If not, I'll have to take it back to BestBuy and pickup another one!

You're right, never saw that piece. Sammy is desperate to sell off its official accessories. S6 Edge accessories were very inferior, so I didn't even look at the Samsung section this time, straight to SpiGen.
Same issue as you all with the note5. Same Samsung charger that bestbuy gave away.
Sent from my SM-N920V using XDA Free mobile app
Same here. 20 minutes of charging then it quits. I'm going to return it to Best Buy. Maybe they'll give me credit towards a better charger. More likely they'll just exchange it for another.
I have same problem with s6 edge plus. I will try to exchange the phone.
Google product engineer +BensonLeung has tested several cables, and the vast majority of them fail to meet the Type C specification, some even dangerously drawing too much power.
Interesting to note that the hugely popular Orzly cables fail his tests.
can't even trust the word "certified by **** company" on the products anymore. that's why you just can't ignore product reviewers.
Haha, I was just coming to post this myself. Its good we have people looking out for this sort of thing. Stuff like this always pops up in the early phases of new tech or standard roll outs. Remember all the faulty knock off lightning cables for apple stuff when that first launched?
Potentially bad news for those of us with the One+ cables though;

It sucks he has not recommended any chargers or USB-C to USB-C cables. The only cables he has reviewed are USB A to USB-C and it is my understanding that these will not quick charge the device anyhow.
I have started a Google Sheet to track USB Type C cables and accessories. I have also enhanced to include N5X and N6P products. Check it out!

Not to change gears but I topped my 6p off yesterday before first boot up and let it and my htc m8 both drain completely, them plugged 6p to packaged charger and my m8 to a nexus 6 fast charger and a 6-ft micro usb I bought fro at&t and the m8 charged... Much... Faster. Are Google's fast charging claims unfounded or is the N6 charger from Motorola just that fast?

Remember that the M8 has a 2,600 mAh battery and the 6P has a 3,450 mAh battery. The 6P battery is almost 35% larger than the M8, and will require more time to charge. How much charge did the 6P have when the M8 finished charging?

Ditto. I bought 3 and I might keep them for slow charging, like overnight. The price wasn't bad.
That's is a very fair point and good question. If I'm not mistaken between 65-75%. Nothing crazy, but one thing I will say, I play a game that drains the battery very badly, even after I close and even force close the app (love it so much I am willing to live with it) but I drained it all the way back down this morning playing the game and instead of turning it back on and starting the charge from 1% and leaving it on so I can track its progress (after a restart, the game normally doesn't cause any battery drain until I open it again), I left it off to charge, and I came back less than 40 minutes later and the thing was full.. I couldn't believe it so I turned it on and unplugged it and sure enough, 98%. It could be that the game was causing such drain (which is scary because the it never eats battery after a reboot) that it slowed the charging process, but I guess I'll never know for sure.

should we still have to worry about even if we use a basic charger (5v - 2a) to charge our 6P with those generic cables? seems like the google engineer only tested and raised concerned with rapid charging. this might get too far once wireless charging stickers/cases are introduced.

Based on the text in his reviews, it sounds like the risk of damage is to your charger, not your phone. The phone can (obviously) handle a 3A charging speed but a USB A charger most likely cannot.

Hey everyone! As you all know im always doing reviews on loads of products and have reviewed these cables with the OnePlus 2! Obviously they work perfectly for that as they were built for the OnePlus 2 originally. I did contact them though and they did let me know that as soon as it was brought to there attention they corrected the issue and i actually received the new version of the cable today and i will review it and have the video up tomorrow! For everyone using a OnePlus 2 its nothing to worry about though. The only items that it could affect are things that power at 3A so just keep that in mind before you go throwing out your cables!

I don't have first hand experience, but I see a few problems.
First, the USB C factory charger charges the phone to 70% in 15 minutes. It isn't like previous devices where you would throw it on the QI charger every spare moment because the battery took forever to charge. Second, the voltage output is not device specific and would take longer to charge the phone than using a standard USB C cable/charger.
I guess what I am saying is that yeah, any of the QI compliant stickers would work, but I ask, are they useful? I lived by QI on my Nexus 6, but seeing what type of battery life I get now, coupled with the ridiculously quick charge times, I no longer see the merit.
I don't mean to thread crap, but it took me a while to get over QI when weighing my options to upgrade. I honestly no longer miss wireless charging. I miss my dual facing stereo speaker and my almost 0 bezel from my Nexus 6, but not QI.
I hope this somewhat helps.

Definitely helps, and yes I too am struggling with just getting over wireless charging. It's just hard to cast aside all the wireless accessories (for 2 phones, my wife has one as well).

I'd just get another stock charger. They are more likely to be better for your phone as many 3rd party ones aren't great. However if you have to get another one that isn't stock then I'd recommend one from anker.

Thank you, 3rd party ones are generally universal so they aren't built to supply the exact amount that particular device needs which can cause damage to battery and can even lead to explosions because of the lithium battery but that's rare.
I bought those one. Works fantastic!

I bought this one from eBay last year and still use it everyday.

Hello everyone, I am in the same dilemma, my original charger was damaged, but I do not know what to buy, I also agree that anker chargers are certified by cualcomm, But I would like to buy the original charger, but on the google page are too expensive, suggestions?
