5.99 for converter of older cables. I like these instead of buying new cables at this time since I have a ton of micro usb stuff still. Any reason I shouldn't use these? I'm sure it won't charge as fast as stock charger/file xfer, but otherwise?

I ordered some cheapo ones from eBay but they will probably get here before the actual phone. They should def be slower but I think the charging should be comparable.
I was about to ask the same thing. Those look good enough. I don't want to replace all my cables especially since some of them do double duty (charge PS4 remote).
Whenever i buy some type c cables I'm going to buy like $50 worth so I can have them in the myriad of places I keep them.

Would love to see some sort of sticky charging guide here. Not sure if I should be buying adapters, c to c, standard to c, new chargers, or what...
I'm thinking I'll keep my current 6 port charger and just getting some adapters so the micro usb can still charge, but really don't want to lose the quick charge feature, so maybe I should replace my charger, i probably should replace all my cables, they're getting kind of worn and I know sometimes the cheaper ones won't charge @ 2 amps.
New car charger?
Already going to have to replace our tylt wireless chargers we have by the bed, would love a usbc dock I guess...
ugh too much research to do again....I guess that's the silver lining of the phone not getting here for over a month
Will be interesting to see if anyone can get some solid numbers on how much these affect the charging rate.
I think ill use my standard cables with the adapter for a while. Til i get to know them better.
I'm really hoping I don't have to be stressed about fast charging otherwise it's going to go back to Google.
dx.com has a 5-pack for about $5, free shipping doesn't kick in until $15 spent, so you might as well browse.
I just bought a 4-pack of USB C cables in Amazon for $20 and called it a day. That + the one that comes with the phone should be a good start.

Me too. The one with the 4 colored ones? Will it work for fast charge?
Yeah, that's what I bought. Supposed to arrive next Wednesday.
I have no clue if those cables will limit charging speeds. No real way to tell until we get the phone and compare with the cable shipped with the phone.

They are obviously only 2.0 cables but I figure unless you're spending big bucks right now on 3.0 A -> 3.1 C cables (or even 3.1 C -> 3.1 C with new chargers), pretty much ANYTHING we buy right now will be replaced later once we have more mainstream 3.x cables to buy at good prices from Anker or somebody. But this is the best price I could find for 4x cables that have good reviews. I've found a few that are a tad cheaper but with no reviews, so I decided this was the right answer for me.

Little confused on what I need for my new phone coming Friday. Obviously, I have a host of Micro USB cables that I'd like to be able to use with my new phone. I assume there must be some adapter that is recommended.
I also need a cable to run from an Anker charger to my new phone.
Thanks!
Confused or not you really should spend some time reading through the other threads that are already here.
The situation has started to clear up quite a bit but all the info is already here.
I started to read through one of the threads but I just got more confused. Lots of talk about what wouldn't work and the one plus one cables being bad.
I'd be happy to research more on my own, if you could point me in the direction of a quality thread or post.
Thanks
Essentially, some companies are producing USB Type-A to USB Type-C cables that don't meet the standards set out by the USB Consortium (made up of Google, Apple, and many other tech companies). These cables that don't meet the specification could allow a device (such as your phone) to try to pull too much current from a charger, USB port, or USB hub and thus damage them. Worst case scenario, they cause a charger to overheat and start a fire!
SO, your best bet is to buy USB Type-A to USB Type-C cables directly from Google or any of the cables Benson Leung (a Google engineer) has reviewed highly. It doesn't matter if they're USB 2.0, 3.0, or 3.1 as the Nexus 6P only supports the slower USB 2.0 speeds and it's all compatible!
Are there any certified adapters or recommendations on something that converts a Micro USB end to a Type-C end? I'd prefer to just extend the cables I already have rather than replace them.
I sadly have not seen a verified adapter yet. You could take a chance on buying some that haven't been disqualified and test them with this app, and return them if they fail. Otherwise, some people are keeping track of verified accessories on this spreadsheet and someone might find good adapters.

I looked through his profile and all of the reviews he's done and none of the adapters have met specifications. You might be better off going with cables instead of adapters.
Thanks you were both very helpful!
All this info above is true. But just an FYI I've had my phone for about a month and only used the micro USB to c adapters (other than a couple times to test with the googled one ) since my case I got had the port too small for the Google charger to fit through and I've never had any issues. The charger or phone doesn't get any hotter or warmer. The phone does charge slower than the Google charger, but that's because the power adapters I'm using are about 1500mah bricks.
Just wanted to chime in that I was not able to get any of my microusb OTG cables working using an adapter. (2 different microusb F to usb-C M adapters purchased through Aliexpress) Perhaps I was just unlucky, though.
They seem to work for connecting to a computer. I also see videos from XDA's youtube channel where they use one of those adapters for connecting a 6p to a computer.
Strangely, one of the adapters shows that it's compliant through the aforementioned app!
The cables/adapters that are out of specification can work fine; but it all depends on how your devices, chargers, and hubs handle the incorrect cable. While you might get lucky and it'll work fine, you might also get unlucky!
Why take a chance? And why support companies that don't follow the rules?

Yes you have a valid point except that there are no certified adapters yet as far as I know. Which means for someone like me it's not about money, but it's about being able to use micro USB still since practically every other devices I have uses that still. Ie tablet, controllers, remotes.

Does anyone know of any power banks with Type-C with a cable built into them? I can find a lot of them for MicroUSB and Lightning, but none for USB-C. (I ask because my previous phone had wireless charging, so I used a Qi power bank to avoid having to bring a cable with me, but I can't do that anymore.)

Yes, a Type-C version of that is exactly what I'm looking for. At this point, I'd even be happy with a MicroUSB one that had a slot to keep a MicroUSB-to-TypeC adapter in (like how some now have slots for MicroUSB-to-Lightning adapters).

Prior to owning that powerbank, I had this, which I later gave away to a friend with an iPhone. I'm wondering now if it's possible to just buy the USB C adapter and bin the lightning one that comes with it. Worth a try perhaps?

I thought about that too, but I'm worried that a type-C adapter won't fit in the Lightning slot since it's bigger.

I think you misunderstand. This thread is not about finding a powerbank that have USB C port on it. It's about finding a powerbank that have a USB C cable permanently attached to it. Something like this, but USB Type-C:

Tl;dr - most are junk currently, and some are even dangerous. 1 specific Verizon version for usb-c pd (TYPECPDVPC ONLY!) is the most acceptable one.

Check out this spreadsheet it has chargers on it and one is type car. There are no perfect PD chargers at the moment (18W) AUKEYCC-Y7 and Verizon 27w TYPECPDVPC are the least bad. It is probably best to take the 3W hit at the moment and go for a 15W non PD car charger like the Belkin 15w F7U005bt04-BLK or Nomad B015NN0OKO. Personally I have gone for the AUKEYCC-Y7 PD charger as although not perfect it is at least cheap.
Bear in mind that some chargers come with a fixed USB-C charging cable. Ones that are cable less will need a decent cable as well. Decent ones cost as much as the chargers. So given the current price I recommend going for the Belkin 15W charger with built in cable

So there's no issue using an old micro USB charging cable? I planned on using my old ones and I purchased a 2 pack of USB-C to Micro USB adapters from Amazon. Can't seem to get clarification about the micro USB chargers..
I have no clue with micro > C adapters. The OEM A>C cable works great and make sure any 3rd party A > C cables should have the required 56kΩ resistor.
I am using a few of these from Anker on an old .5a Moto charger, older Anker car charger and an extra thrown in my work bag.

Of course there is an issue, you need to use either use a micro to c adapter with a 56k ohm pull-up resistor in it or a an approved a to c cable that also has a 56k ohm pull-up resistor.

I use my old charger with the oem a to c cable and my old a to micro cable with a micro to c adapter that has the 56k ohm resistor just fine, it's just slower than max, but no big deal. hardly ever have to use it, but have it just in case.
I have been using an old Anker pre QC charger and it has been working fine.
I haven't tried the QC3 charger in my wife's car yet.
For now the A>C cables with the 56 ohm resistor is the safe way to go.

I use this one I bought off Amazon. Been using it for a while. Never had any problems with it. Rapidly charges my pixel and you can charge 2 items at the same time. Check it out for yourself.
Belkin
The Belkin 15 watt used to be recommended as it was the charger for the 6p. I have used it with the 6p and now the Pixel. Not sure why it went from 2 to -1. Obviously it does not do PD with the Pixel, but I cannot see it doing harm. Same is true for the Google 6p wall charger. I sue that with the Pixel also. Any thoughts?

I would guess the change is for charging as noted. There are some further comments about a lack of IR drop compensation circuitry in the Google+ information below. I view the list as simply somewhat subjective opinions from an engineer, and like you said, I couldn't find comments in Google+ to suggest the Belkin you're talking about might pose a threat to a phone. My previous Razr M would tend to lose power when charging and using navigation, so I may just keep the Belkin PD model and see what happens with a replacement, in spite of the current -2 in the list.

So I didn't realize that this cable was USB C to USB C, I am coming from the HTC 10 which is USB-C Male to USB-A Male. I need a 6 foot cable, I am looking for recommendations since I have heard that some these USB C cables can be flaky.

Personally I love the i-orange braided and it is 6.6 and 10 feet. It was even recommended by that Google engineer dude.... They now seem to be called veckle
Check this one out!
I usually use their brand or Anker

My personal favorite Type-C cable is Blitzwolf. It's Benson Approved, durable, beautiful, and very good quality. I have 2 8ft Blitzwolf cables and have used only one for the past 3 months. I keep is in my pocket, I'm not super rough with stuff but it's pretty durable for the few times I stepped on it and i usualy carry it coiled in my pocket on my knee or in my backpack. I honestly couldn't ask for a better cable.
I'll admit, 8ft i ridiculously long and probably unnecessary for regular use. But it's amazing.
Blitzwolf!

I'm using it on my G6, but I'll be upgrading to a v30 soon.

My USB cable is A to C.
I can vouch for the quality of Anker cables and chargers, I've been rocking them since the v20 released. Zero issues, I am usually rough with my stuff and Anker holds up.
I use Anker products. Always good.
Another vote for Anker PowerLine cables...
My Verizon V30 came with an A to C cable as well as a C to C cable.
My TMobile variant came with only the usb a to c. Kind of odd that different variants came with different cables. I also have been using Anker power line braided cable ??

A friend of mine has an AT&T V30. She only received the charger and C to C cable. I didn't believe her because I thought it was strange. Then she showed me. Sure enough.
Even weirder is that some variants come with both an a-c and c-c.
This one works and it is prettier than all my other cables too !

Yeah, I'm surprised that Verizon would do ANYTHING EXTRA for their subscribers. But I'll take it.

I believe so. Aren't they also the only carrier offering the V30+? If so, I believe they're related...
Firstly , .... Anker cables are solid , its all I use
Also , 1 meter or shorter if you are looking for the data speeds to be the fastest.
Just got the V30 for my girl (from AT&T) and was surprised at how little came with it. Just the charger and c-c cord. I am a Samsung guy and hell there is always a boat load of goodies in the box. Just was interesting to see how LG does things.
I bought a $5 6ft c to a cable from Five Below and have had no issues.
Sent from my LG-H931 using Tapatalk
Anker powerline+ cables! I have the 6ft cable and it Fastcharges perfectly. Also comes with lifetime warranty so save the box/serialnr sticker.
Its 12 dollars for a 2pack so the price is good.
Gray or red.

Edit: I just realised this thread is 2 months old lol.... anyways great cables!
Blitzwolf cables are amazing and very worth the cost. I've been very rough on mine for testing for a little more than 6months and it's still amazing.
I bought it because it looked like good quality and was on the Benson Approved list, seems the list (website) is gone now. But i bought 2 of the 8ft cables and only use one to see how long it lasts under regular use with moderate abuse.
Blitzwolf cables are available on Amazon.
I'm having trouble finding a good quick charge 4+/4.0 charger does anyone have any suggestions/ does anyone use one already?

I don't see anything anywhere in either products' listings that would suggest that those are actually QC4 chargers, however, as Qualcomm's specifications indicate, QC4 does support USB Power Delivery, which is what everyone should be using anyway.
I've been charging my U12+ on PD for the last week and it tops up blazing fast.
Greetings,
guess I found one that's quite expensive though. But it should work:

Already tried via MediaMarkt and Expert here in my region. Both without look. They have Hama, and checked with me in their system, if they could ordering from Hama directly. No way they could order it for me...

I do think they're being untruthful. I don't see any indicator other than "QC4.0" that indicates that it's Qualcomm certified, nor did I see the phrase, "Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.0" in the listing. I don't trust it.
I only use OEM and Anker chargers & cables, for what it's worth.

Yes you are probably right. I would wait for a Qualcomm certified charger anyway. Just saw someone post about the first one linked and they seemed to know it was 4.0. No reviews or comments anyhow, I would never purchase something with no reviews lol.
As for Anker, I've had issues with their cables and HTC phones. They seem to work for a little while then they stop. They also wear out quickly to where the micro usb connection becomes loose and falls out easily. Seems it's hard to find a good cable.
I need replacement micro USB cables for my M8 and M9 and can't even order one from HTC. The "HTC OEM cables on Amazon are fakes. They look exactly the same except they do not have the HTC tag.

This is what I'm using to charge my U12 Plus. Since one of my cats has decided that the supplied cable from HTC is delicious, I was sort of forced to try out how USB Power Delivery works. And it works fantastic:

Yeah I think their charging blocks are good I just know their charging cables are bad for HTC phones. The old micro USB cables, they wear out quick and stop working. The USB type c should be much better I haven't tried one yet.
I need an OEM HTC micro USB and can't even order them from HTC. The ones online that claim to be OEM are full of it.

Even one like this? I haven't connected one to an HTC phone (I bought this long after no longer having a Micro USB-equipped HTC), so I can't offer to test for you, but this is what I've got in my Jeep to power my wireless charger:

The clips on the micro USB wore out quickly and would not snap in like they are supposed to so they fall out. I still use micro USB for non-phone devices. But they guaranteed the cables would work with HTC devices since HTC devices are very finnicky with charging cables, if it's not HTC oem, most of the time they do not work right. My first pack I ordered from them, a pack with different sizes wouldn't work, they said that was the older style so they were great and offered me a upgraded version for free, like six different cables and they were the ones that worked but didn't last long. Anyway, the USB-C should be much better since they attach much differently.
It is hard finding a good micro USB cable.

I am not a fan of using adapters but thanks for sharing the parts you are using. I emailed Anker support and requested that they recommend the best cables to use with the Hama QC 4.0 chargers and will post an update once I hear back from them.
