I really like the charger that came with my 6P, it's compact and charges both my Macbook and my phone, but I can't seem to find it for anywhere? It looks like the one from the Google store is not the same. Anyone know where to find it?
I email huawei but they never email be back

I find there to be no use with needing the stock charger over the 15w one from Google. Some may argue, well the type c cable is attached to the wall adapter. Sure, but what are you going to plug your phone into that has another type c port? I get your macbook has a type c port but it isnt as common as the type a usb port.

well i don't know how you can claim the stock charger is compact (it's easily 2x longer than the stock nexus 6 charger), but i do like that the plug is removable. the replacement they're selling on the google store has a hard-wired cable. it works and is good, but i don't care for the hard wired part
I could safely bet that Huawei made a deal with Google that they wont sell the stock charger so that Google can make more accessory sales.
You can always buy the dual port charger from Google (https://store.google.com/product/usb_c_dual_port_charger). Yes its more expensive, but comes with an extra long cable, and the way USB C is going you'll have more USB C devices in the future for that extra port to be useful.

I would buy the 2 port if not for the reports that only one of the ports supports rapid charging. I don't want to have to constantly make sure I have the "right" cable (will be using one for macbook and 1 for phone.)

Well, it's compact compared to my Apple USB-C charger which is more the size of a laptop brick. Also, agreed about the hard wired crap.

Yeah, well its is only a 22.5Wmax charger so having only one port supporting rapid charge makes sense.
If you need to identify cables that are identical you can always just put some colored tape around the ends or a sticker.
As you have a Macbook, you can probably find better USB C solutions for your needs; the Google Store page does say that "Wattage is optimized for smaller devices, like phones and tablets. Larger devices, such as laptops, will take longer to charge."
Not available unfortunately. Google charger is basically your only 15w charging solution right now. If you can wait a month I bet we'll see that change.

I got one yesterday will test it today and let you know. My understanding was that either port could rapid charge, but when you have two devices only one will rapid charge but the charger would rapid charge the device with the least amount of battery.

It seems, based on reviews here, that only one port will actually rapid charge regardless of your devices charge or which device was plugged in first. That might not be so bad (and expected given the rated wattage) but the charger isn't labeled to tell you which port is the rapid charge one and isn't sold with an explanation describing the situation.

I just tested this and you are absolutely right, the second port only charges whereas the first port rapidly charges. Now wondering if I should return it and save some cash and get the single port charger. Although it still seems like a handy device to have when wall outlets are limited.

For me, It's not really about unplugging the cable to use for something else. Cables go bad. If the cable goes bad, the whole charger is shot. That's a bit of a waste to me. Also, you can't buy different length cables for the charger either.

Considering that the Google Dual Port Charger does not support 3A on both ports and it is likely the 6P and 5X might be the only 5V/3A devices you might every see, it would have made much more sense for the this charger to have 1-3A Type C port and 1-2.4A Type A port!

That would make much more sense.
The weird thing is that it leaves 7.5W if you're fast charging your nexus, but as USB-C which is not widespread, so...
My theory, I think the dual port charger is future proofing for wearables with USB C charging ports. Most Qi android wear docks run at 5v/.55a or so, which is well within the 7.5W possible. Looking at it that way, its a phone + wearable dualport charger.
It also aligns perfectly with the real (not google) USB C standard of 5v/1.5a.
FYI,
I ran across this charger today on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Type-C-Charger-CHOE-Charger-Adapter-Included/dp/B017I7EX46
So far, it doesn't have any reviews (all the reviews are for the Type A charger), but it's also saying that the estimated delivery date is Nov 25 - Dec 8. So, I guess it's shipping directly from China. I ordered one anyway. Worst case is that I'm out $17.
Not only does the one port work for 3A (the one closest to the white Google face logo), the charger must be in the wall before connecting to phone. If not, it will max out at 1.5A.
With the stock charger, it doesn't matter.

I'm searching for a USB Type C battery pack with the cable built in like one of these micro-usb packs :

Anyone know of any available yet? I know USB C is fairly new technology so I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't even exist yet.
And for the sake of sharing and discussing - what power accessories do you have and what's important to you? Do you always want fast-charging or is that not important?
If you already have battery packs like I do, I bought a few extra micro usb to USB c connectors to use with them.

Has anyone found any of these since the OP posted this question a few months ago?
I want one too!
I will try it!
I never actually trust the quality of the cables that come with these chargers. Something about generic cables bugs the $#!% out of me (and no, I'm not one of those who use $200 Monster HDMI cables)
If not one with an integrated cable, I'd settle for a well built one (with a C Port) that will fit into a large wallet (and thin enough to fit next to the phone in a shirt pocket) like this one:

I have one of those and it seems mostly fine, the only frustrating thing is that you can't charge the power bank itself from a type A to C cable, even if it is spec compliant. Mine only seems to charge from a C to C cable. This seems to be confirmed by reviewers on Amazon too.

USB c 3A (can also use this to charge the battery)
Quick charge USB port (5v, 9v, 12v)
Ismart (2.4v)
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.

I have a feeling that the Google chargers will be the best quality ones you can get. I have both of the Google chargers - the single port and dual port - and have had great results with both.

Is there a desktop dock that supports quick charge? or "charging rapidly" as us Nexus owners refer to it as. I'm looking for a dock to charge my phone as quick as possible on the Nexus 6P, I've seen a few docks about but none seem to support this! I thought the introduction of type c on the note 7 may mean more/better docks available for USB - C type phones but that doesn't seem the case.
What are people using for desktop charging/docks? Pictures would be fantastic.
I'm pretty sure there are some custom docks, kididgi make one & I think you'll find a thread about it right here. But I can wholeheartedly recommend the Sarvi dock for the Nexus 6p.
http://www.sarvidesigns.com/
Its a graceful looking yet very solid dock. The major benefit being that it does not have a built in power supply. Instead it comes with a few adapters that allow for almost any phone charger to be tightly attached to the stand. This means that you can use the fastcharge plug & cable with it. It also means that the dock will most likely be able to be adapted to any future phone that requires a different plug.
I have the sarvi unit as well, has been a number of months of trouble free use.
Definitely like the look of them as its fairly future proof and I can use it with my different devices, phone and Tab. Shame they're out of stock and the website is a bit poor.
Thank you
Yeah the site sucks but the product itself is very good.
Still can't buy one.

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.

Anyone, find a longer type C cable to replace the one shipped with our Mate 9? I just purchased a 2 meter cable from Bestbuy that was certified fast charge but it does not show up as Supercharge when charging. I noticed that our cables actually have 5A molded into the cable at the type C end and the one I purchased from Bestbuy was rated at 3A. I Googled but could not find anything. Just wandering if anyone else has found anything.
Thanks, Dhatw.
Looking for this myself for a while now. Actually I'm looking for any charger that supports the super charge feature, regardless of length.
Be careful if ordering off of Amazon, I bought one that was supposedly an OEM Huawei Mate 9 charger, but it wasn't. Slow charging...
I believe I read that Supercharge connectors have extra pins that aren't on a standard type-C cable, so you may need proprietary cables.
None of my longer usb c cables supercharge.
Not horrible speed though, about the same speed of my nexus 6p with quickcharge.

One of the very unfortunate parts of having this SuperCharge technology is that only Huawei's cables and chargers will work with it. I have seen some on Aliexpress, but I don't think they were longer than the original. I've also never found the car charger for sale.
I agree that a "regular" type C fast charge cable is not too bad as far as charging speeds. I just didn't want to mess anything up and also would like to get all that I can from my phone and charger. I emailed Huawei to ask them if they have a longer cable but don't expect a positive reply if at all.
Dhatw.
This is the first phone with Supercharge. With the P10 about to come out, and probably more, perhaps Supercharge accessories may become a little easier to come by before too long, due to increased demand/market.
Where do most people place their supercharge? I find that when I do need to fast charge, it's either at work or while I am away from home. At home, I just leave it on the charger over night, so I do not see a need for it to be at home. Also, I heard that leaving it on supercharge over night could eventually cause a quicker wear and tear on the battery as opposed to just standard charging?
Anyone else do the same thing?
I have mine at home for when I need a quick charge, but I normally use slower chargers, as I believe it's better for the battery. I also normally only charge to about 90% or so, and don't let it get below about 40%, unless I know I'm going to need a full charge. I most commonly need a quick charge in the car, but that doesn't seem to be available yet.
SuperCharge ONLY works with the Huawei charger brick, and Huawei USB A to C cable.
With that said, USB PD works with this device quite well. My Pixel XL charger actually puts more current/power into the Mate 9 than it does my Pixel XL! Measured at the wall, the Pixel XL maxes out at about 18W... the Mate 9 hits 20W. It's not as good as SuperCharge, but it's close. There aren't too many reputable, good type C chargers available right now, so your best bet is to buy the charger on the Google Store for $35 that comes with a quality 6 foot USB C cable as well. I personally have Apple's 6.6 foot/2M cable as it is the longest/best charging cable for type C you can buy right now at $19.

Is that safe tho? I know there was a story the htc 10 was charged with a nexus charger and it made the phone incredibly hot.

I haven't noticed any issues. The phone doesn't really get warm either. This is using an e-marked (chipped) cable as well, so if it fails, it's Huawei's fault for breaking USB spec.
Has to be a certain gauge or something for this cable.
A few popped up on Amazon, anyone tested any of these longer cables out?

Thanks, order placed. I expect it will fast charge, but not supercharge.
I bought a couple of these on AliExpress, they look excactly the same (so they are 'short') and they do work with SuperCharge, very happy with them!
I think you would need a REALLY REALLY thick cable if you want to charge with 5 A and have a longer cable.

I got mine yesterday. Seems to fast charge. So no real difference from super charge. The 6 foot C to C cable seems solid.

Thanks, can you download Ampere and check out the actual charging current with the phone in airplane mode, screen brightness at minimum and the battery at 50%?
Stock cable should give about 4300-4400mA
