Jumping Off the 3A Bus! - Nexus 6P Accessories

Considering how screwed up the 5V3A situation is, I decided to jump off that bus and order some regular, high quality, low price, 2.4A (per port) Aukey chargers that can be used with cheap ass cables that no one wants. They will be Type A to Type C so other phones and tablets can use them. And no QC 2.0 because they are about 1/2 the price and if QC 2.0 or 3.0 becomes an issue with other devices in my house, I will buy new ones. The car charger is $12.99 (They sell a bigger one for $6.99) on Amazon and the wall one is $7.99. Google's massive FUBAR solved!

Yo thank you so much I just ordered one with that code! I hate taking my original charger to work with me I always feel like it will break down over time from heavy handling this saves me Fri that problem.
Aliexpress.com will have their big annual sales on 11/11 and Tronsmart is one of the featured brands.
Thanks for the code, I just ordered 2 of them. Awesome price!

I was looking at power-banks for my upcoming trip out of country but I am confused about the different standards and which one the note supports. I see things like "Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0" or "PowerIQ" Which one does the Note support?
Have ordered this one (has QI too)

Got one that's about $30, and charges at 2.1 amps. It's a real steal at Fry's electronics.. No, it's not QC capable, but if you don't need all those frills, this is the deal.. plus it's got an emergency led light.

another Nexus 9 brought back into daily use due to Raspberry PI charger

This poor guy had been collecting dust for the last five years due to his frustrating 4 hour battery life. Eventually it would even uncharge while it was plugged in to the wall with the display at minimum brightness, bluetooth and such disabled.
Be careful as I believe Nexus 9's have only been evaluated up to 1.5A. I have it plugged into a circuit breaker just in case (and have wrapped red electric tape near the tip to distinguish it from my other micro usb chargers. I'm quite sure if it would melt, although the regulator on the charger cord looks pretty legit, so who knows. Some Nexuses are older than others, mines gotten quite a lot of use so when I use this charger it doesn't even run warm let alone hot.

Did you test it with another phone/device? I can only guess but i guess its not related to the P7Pro.
P7P prefers PD...
It also seems to require data pins to work - a cheap "shunt 5V into the port" 2 wire charger won't work apparently.
This one should work:
https://www.amazon.ca/Outlet-Charger-Waterproof-Adapter-Motorcycle/dp/B09D34DTTZ
These only works on very simple devices. Like a flashlight, or a radio
Thanks, guys.
One of the two leads will charge it.
Not sure why the other one doesn't.
So, I swapped the leads.
The other lead is charging a low-power GPS device.
I'm going to check the device that kodabmx posted.
I missed it in my previous shopping search!

Motorola Edge 30 NEO ReadyFor USB-C to HDMI

Dear community,
I'm interested in buying USB-C- to HDMI, but wondering if I best can buy the official Motorola ReadyFor USB-C to HDMI or an alternative branche.
As one of the disadvantages is, that you can't charge at the same time when the ReadyFor USB-C to HDMI adapter is plugged in.
I found for instance DINTO USB-C HUB 3x USB to and 4K HDMI adapter, but is that one compatible and with this one I can actually charge and use the USB-C to HMDI at the same time?
It might look to good to be truth? What do you think? I already asked the seller, but they just say, try it, you can always send it back, but I want to avoid that.
