Compact USB-C to MicroUSB adapter. Solving the compatibility problem. - Nexus 6P Accessories

I have several popular amazon brand adapters but the problem is they're too thick. I carry one in my wallet but some how I lost it after just a few days. I've been on a mission to find the adapter that I can easily carry in my wallet but not easily disappear. I don't want to keep paying for something that I only use once in a while. Most adapters on Amazon go for $3-$5, not cheap for a tiny adapter. We know those have the pull up resistor and are safe to use.
Someone left a good review for this ebay adapter from seller goodtops165 (IDK about the similar adapter from other sellers, they all look the same) so I give it a shot. It costs $1.38, 2 weeks to ship.
The adapter passes CheckR test and it behaves like other USB-C to MicroUSB adapters that I have. It comes with a sleeve and it's is slimmer than others. :good:

Very much reminds me of the OnePlus adapter with the red case and all.
Does this one allow OTG adapters to work?

I got one!

For a couple of bucks worth it to keep 1 or 2 of these on hand.

UK AC Charger i9000

Hi does anyone know where I can buy a genuine original AC charger for an i9000? Mine broke (loose connection on the microusb).
The model is ETA0U10UBE Samsung Travel Adapter I've not found a seller yet of these types - maybe some of you know where I can source one?
Many thanks
Some of many....

You're just fantastic. He asked for the specific model number, and... One question: are you working as the car dealer? If not, think ab. the job change. I can imagine: somebody comes to you, asks for Passat, and leaves you with Corsa
The charger for SGS is a STANDARD MICRO-USB charger.
All you need is to grab one from ANY manufacturer and that's all.
I personally use one Nokia micro-usb charger (from my Ex-smartphone), a Motorola micro-usb charger (from the bluetooth handsfree) and the genuine one ... all are charging the battery perfectly. We are talking about a standard here ....
So, as long as you can buy a charger that has micro-usb plug, it is generating 5V and has a current limit of maximum 1A, you're good to go.
Is this the one you are looking for?

MicroUSB cable that's flexible when cold?

I have a pretty standard micro USB cable in my car for charging my X. It gets crazy stiff in cold weather though. Does anyone know of any cables, or brands of cables, that stay a bit more flexible, especially in cold weather?
The cable that came with my 2013 Moto X was very flexible, and felt like it had a silicone jacket. The one that came with my 2014 moto X wasn't quite as nice. I don't know which one you will get if you order one off the motorola site, but it is worth a try.

You can buy "fabric braided" micro USB.
It looks like this:

Looking to buy an OTG cable - Does brand matter?

I've been looking around Amazon for an OTG cable and there are the usual Chinese made ones which are really cheap and the so-called branded ones which go for a big more.
My main reason is because I want to use my DS4 with my Z5 as the bluetooth connection has too much input lag to enjoy the emulated games I want to play.
Nope. Just get one of eBay for like 99p (uk price for me) they're only a cable that adapts one type of plug to another
Also... Quite a few brands make dual usb sticks now. Which are a great option also. I have this -

Doesn't matter... I'm using a OnePlus OTG adapter and it works great

There is a video online talking about exactly that (discussing Digital Camera controlling and OTG cables), this dude tried a number of cables until he found one that worked properly.
I purchased a cheap ebay one and it doesn't clip into the port cleanly, I am now using the one that came with my Xperia Z3

Nexus 6p Docking Station

I'm posting this thread to get some advice or direction as to which Docking stations would be fully compatible with the nexus 6p. I know when buying cables we have to be careful cause a lot of the cheaper ones tend to ruin our devices. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks!!

I'm very curious about this too
Beson Leung (a Google engineer that's checking/reviewing Type C accessories) has an Amazon list of everything that he approves of: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/KF89JCHI0KT4/
There's only one dock on the list so far: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B017K46T1M/
He also reviewed another dock but it didn't make the cut.
I bought this dock : Sarvi Dock
This particular dock allows you to use the charger that came with the 6p. I love it. No issues whatsoever.

There is an extensive thread about this already, including the dock shown above (I ordered 2, got one, it was missing parts/instructions and was obviously used, and it took a month to get a refund).
Should check out the other threads on this.
