Is this thing a joke? It's barely 3 ft long. How the hell are we supposed to use this effectively and safely without it falling on the floor plugged in and crack the screen? It barely reaches my bedside table.

Buy another charger? I use the blackberry playback charger personally long cable fast charging and pretty cheap to buy.
Adjust accordingly. Just know that if u do replace the cable or use another charger, the charging rate won't be as fast. See https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/oneplus-one-charging-cable-alternative.68517/
But I completely agree, it should have been longer. I just adjusted accordingly and all is good now, the cable should have been at least 6 ft.

Yeah I've noticed with other chargers it takes forever to charge. Are there any longer cords out there that are a higher rate of charge?

I have no idea about that, maybe someone else can provide input on that. I do love the fast charging rate on the phone though, I'll even pay OnePlus $5-10 to have a larger usb cable with their special battery juice.

Yup I know how you felt.. I used the blackberry folding charging for my N5 and it charged super quick and the cable is super long.
The blackberry folding charger was 1.8A.
I thoroughly recommend the blackberry charger. It has to be this one:

Should be able to grab it from your location too. A lot of sellers sell this particular charger. It's got a 6ft cable and charges quickly. I've replaced all my chargers with this one and it works a treat.

If you're looking for a longer alternative, this one will charge at the same rate as the original cable.

Does anyone know of a good car charger? You know, the kind that plugs into your cigarette lighter socket.
I had one at one time but it died after only a week of usage.
I got this one and it works fine with a spare microusb cable. Best part is that I can now have two phones charging at once.

I got a similar one, but it has one port meant for an ipad/tablet, which outputs 2A - that is helpful for when I am running car navigation and wifi hotspot at the same time. I also had to get a charging-only usb cable because regular cables would trigger usb storage mode on the phone.

To bad the Charge won't draw more than ~0.8A... Also, it is the charger causing the phone to go to mass storage mode, not the cable. A microUSB cable is a microUSB cable, and if the cable says "charging only" they have the data pins shorted out (I believe that's what is done) and it really isn't fixing the root cause of the issue.

The only way you could speed up charging would be to modify it via the kernel, or try to force load a module that does the same thing. Odds are the fastcharger script just gets the system to recognize USB charging as a wall charger. Either way, I wouldn't recommend using anything that says it'll make your phone charge faster unless there was SIGNIFICANT data to support the claim as well as evidence that it doesn't harm the hardware.
Charging the battery too fast is very dangerous too. I tried "supercharging" one of my batteries and it almost caught fire.

It could be the cable, but the odds are against that. The way to tell if it was the cable would be to try it in another AC charger to see what it does.

Samsung smartphones and Tablets charge in std mode (Charging USB) unless the two data wires are "shorted". (I have seen it done directly in a high speed charge only cable or in the Samsung chargers. Some say they use a resistor.) When the data pins are "shorted", Samsung switches to high speed charging. (Charging AC). I have been harassing a factory overseas for a dual car charger (2100mA) with one std. Port (iPad) and one Samsung port. It should be available soon.

I haven't tried another car charger personally, but can vouch for the Verizon one. Always works for me and I just leave it plugged in the lighter outlet in my center console so whenever I need it, it's easy and quick to plug in the phone. Also has the scrunchy style cord to keep things neat. But at the same time, it makes it more difficult to use the phone while it's plugged in as it keeps wanting to pull back lol

Well as long as the power supplied is 5V (the usb standard) and under 1.2 amp (the output of the factory wall adaptor) you should be safe not burning out your phone. If you are just asking about a usb to micro usb cable then it shouldn't matter since the cable should supply the right voltage anyways.

This is one of the reasons I bought the oem charger. Had the ac/usb issue. Changed wires and still does that. Used my gnex charger and it didn't give me problems.

at least you narrowed it down fast to the wire. in my case after swapping just the wires it was still the same. then when i used the original n4 charger on my gnex, my gnex suddenly had the ac/usb charging issue. my problem with not getting another charger was i sometimes charge both phones at the same time so i needed one more. good thing a couple of searches led me to the buychina site and now all works well.
I am very interested in this topic as I believe I'm going to need a new USB > MicroUSB cable. My cat accidentally knocked off my N4 while it was charging using the original cable/charger. While it seems the charger itself is okay, the cable is what I am worried about. The end seems slightly bent and, while it will plug into the N4 (which will report charging) it doesn't go as "easily". From visual inspection I think the problem is with the cable's microUSB end; I really hope that the N4's socket itself is not bent/damaged in anyway, but I cannot see any visual signs thereof.
I was really hoping to pick up another OEM charging kit, but it appears that (assuming they are legit ) that one can only find them on Taobao/ChinaBuy as linked above? I was hoping Amazon would have them. With this in mind, will there be anything specific to look for finding another "USB to MicroUSB cable" from Amazon to use with the existing, undamaged OEM charger? Thanks.
I'm no expert but I believe there shouldn't be any issue of you get a different cable. I've used an HTC, Samsung and Asus calls with the LG charger and there aren't any issues. If it's just the cable you need, go with Amazon. It'll be faster

Great, thanks. It seems logical that all "USB A > MicroUSB B" cables should be capable of the same thing, but I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something that would say, impair my ability to use this cable for not only charging with the OEM wall charger, but charging from my PC's USB ports, connecting to said PC via USB Debugging for rooting/flashing etc...

DUDE!!!! The 12V charger can KILL your phone.. The phone is designed for 5volts..
As long as the charger supplies 5 volts it is okay... even a 10 amp charger will work fine (if availiable ).. The current is controlled by the device (nexus 4 in this case).. It will draw how much current it requires.. Voltage on the other hand is decided by the charger.... 12volts will fry the device...

Oops, thanks for this heads up! I've used the 12V charger for weeks without any noticeable damage (though the screen goes haywire when it is plugged in). I'll switch to the original N4 charger now.
I want a charger with longer wire than the one which comes in retail box. I was going through this Nokia AC-20 charger. Can someone tell me if that will be advisable to use with N5? The output of that charger is 750mAh, so I guess it will take some more time to charge which is fine with me. Should I go for it? Is there anyone who uses the AC-20 charger?

I don't use car chargers as I don't think they are safe! A simple crank of your engine causes the voltage to go up a lot... Even though the branded ones are totally safe, I prefer not to use them..

Why don't you just buy a longer 6ft+ USB cable and attach it to the charger?
The plugin part of the charger is the important part. The port is a standard microUSB cable so you can use whatever cable you want.

I think you need a usb 3 cable.
The title say's it all. When I use the included charger the phone charges much more quickly than when I use a 3rd party charger. I've tried a variety of different charges all with the same result. I know this was supposedly fixed in the most recent update, but it seems to still be affecting me.
AFAIK, most 3rd party chargers that I've come across only output 1A, such as my old iPhone adapter.
The one included with the OPO outputs 2A.
This is the same with my note 3 adapter outputting 2A which I've tested and performs the same as the OPO adapter.
I heard that the OPO usb does make it charge faster too. Saw someone on this forum tested it, can't remember which thread though.
Using Galaxy S3 charger took forever, I charged now with the OPO one and it went 20% in 20 minutes.
the S3 charger gives 1.0A, while I have also the Asus TF101 charger which gives 2.0A....
I will verify later the cable too.

The title say's it all. When I use the included charger the phone charges much more quickly than when I use a 3rd party charger. I've tried a variety of different charges all with the same result. I know this was supposedly fixed in the most recent update, but it seems to still be affecting me.

it's the same with my Note 2 and my Note 8. They need 2A chargers, otherwise it's sooo slow, like the OPO.

Link that the OPO usb makes it charge faster? I use a usb cable from a previous phone bc the OPO usb is too short.

Found It, http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/accessories/charger-cable-oneplus-1-t2802484 I'm not sure if it's true though. I might try some of my 3rd party cable and compare to 1+1 cable.

I was trying to find a app that keeps track of the charging rate but I didn't have much luck. That would be a definite confirmation. But yeah, I would for certain want to know.
I am pretty satisfied with the charging rate right now though. Using my Nexus 5 usb with the oneplus one wall charger. Alternatively, I have the blackberry folding charger which is 1.8A charges really fast as well even though it isn't 2A.

I bought this external battery pack because I wanted something to power my Nexus 6p, with rapid charging. I can confirm that this battery pack registers as charging rapidly on the lock screen. This charger also can charge 3 devices at once. It has a USB type c port, 2.4a USB port and a quick charge 2.0 USB port. The charger still delivers enough amperage for rapid charging while charging 2 devices at the same time as shown in one of the pictures.
Finally this charger has 4 indicator lights on it to display how much capacity is left in the power bank. The size of this power bank is a little bigger than a nexus 6p and it comes with 2 USB type A to micro USB cables. Overall this power bank is a great value and already came in handy many times!
I received mine today too its great!
Wow, that one battery badboy! May get one...
Been happy with mine.

Nice! Wish it came in 10000 mAh

I really like mine. I pretty much use it wherever I go. I actually bought two one for home and one for work.
hows the weight on this thing? Seems beastly ... is it pocketable? Id like to get one but concern about the size. I'm used to easily putting an extra battery in my pocket so not being able to replace battery will take some getting used to. Wish this came in like 10,000mah at half the size
weight is fine, but it's too thick and wide to be pocketable. I've posted more in depth in the other thread for this, but it's a really good product that delivers fast charging and plenty of juice

Ehh, if you have small pockets it isn't pocketable. I can fit it in my back pocket, it sticks out the top of course, but it does fit.
I bought this thing also, LOVE IT.

Yes this thing would be tough to fit into a pocket, but it if you have a bag you bring with you (backpack) then you'll be fine.
Edit: sorry meant to quote @kellybrf
I have one that's 15kmah has two USB ports, one that supports Quick Charge.
How long to recharge it with 6P's charger ?

If you mean to recharge the 6P with the power bank, it seems to be the exact same speed as the stock charger, around 100 minutes for 1-100%.
i think he meant how long to charge the ravpower battery pack using the official Google 6p charger.

The ravpower charges via micro USB not USB type c. I haven't checked how long to charge it but I'll let you know as soon as I drain it.
