OEM charger $17 on ebay!! possible? - Nexus 6P Accessories

hey, i am looking fo a charger OEM, since i have forgot mine in the hotel
so what is really concerning is that i have found a seller on ebay is selling OEM charger for $17!!!
i am asking if this can be true since in my opinion Aliexpress is more trusted than ebay " at least i can see the feedbacks"
This One
And this one
and what is your openion on this
SONEic - USB Type-C AMAZON
I know Amazon is safer since they have banned all uncertified type C cables....

Basically every charger is made in China and since Huawei is a chinese company and these ebay sellers are from China, it wouldn't surprise me that these chargers on eBay are legit although in my experience I would advise caution . As for the charger you have linked on Amazon, I haven't tried that one but I bought this one and haven't had any issues so far.

To be brutally honest with you, and this may seem a bit elitist and privileged to some, but I wouldn't trust my $600 phone with anything but an original charger or one bought directly from Google, and not Huawei, not ebay or amazon, and this goes for both chargers and cables.

Considering Google only makes 2 mediocre chargers (dual port 22W, and tethered 15W) I would rather get a 3rd party one. I have the Google dual port type C charger, but I also have ones from Choetech and Tronsmart that all work just as well as my OEM charger. I rarely use my OEM, in fact it's been in my drawer of chargers for a while now because other companies made better more versatile chargers. OEM chargers don't always use the best circuitry to control voltages, current etc, but with 3rd party chargers they have incentive to make better charges due to the intense competition. I witnesses this with my HTC 10 stock charger and Samsung one from my S7 Edge; OEM isn't always the best to say the least.

I've been very happy with the BlitzWolf charger

The thing is google store isnt available in my country and there is no work around, although I have a us shipping address :/

I'm using a Choetech charging station that's reasonably priced (slightly higher than what your looking at) and I've got to say it charges in very similar times to the original OEM charger, it also has the added benefit of being able to charge my smart watch and tablet at the same time too. Perfect for people who don't want chargers plugged in all over the place.

Hope this helps.

Looking for a good charger for the car and wall.

I used to have one that was both at the same time, kind of like this one. www.accessorypost.com/zipkordcombo.html
It had replaceable tips for different devices but I only had one so I spliced a different tip together from a different charger.
What's the best charger like that available? I don't care about the price, I just want to know which is the best one.
Is that really worth the money?
No idea but I had one like it before that my brother broke, so he owes me one whether or not it is.
micro usb chargers are pretty much standardized, there's no real "best" charger. Generic wall charger charges my phone at the same rate of the official wall charger included with the phone.
I keep a generic car charger I bought on eBay for a dollar, and keep an official HTC charger at home, and another generic wall charger I bought for a dollar at work. Not to mention plethora of microusb cable at home, work, school, friend's house, laptop, etc., spending that much money on one product seems silly to me.
I am happy with the OEM Sprint car charger:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GPQTJQ
It is better built than the OEM HTC car charger and has a secondary USB charging plug.
That solves nothing. I want one that can be used in both the car and house like I had before. Does anyone know of one that does that, other than the one I linked to?
Look on amazon dude, there are quite a few. And don't be rude to people who are trying to help you.
I think that's what u looking for

I was not being rude. Just because someone points out that something is not helpful is not being rude. Plus, I have looked at amazon. What I'm asking for is opinions on which one of those is of the best quality.

Thanks for finding that. It's a bit iffy given that it comes from ebay (I haven't had a lot of good come from ebay electronics purchases in the past) and because it says it's new but it has scratches and signs of use. Still, not a bad price. Do you know if that's one that'll last a while?
The one I had before was from a company called Gomadic, who sells a charger and different tips for different phones. It's a great charger and outlasted my phone, but the charger costs almost 30 bucks and each tip costs about 6 dollars, and then you have shipping added on to that.
I'm thinking about buy one to for my car...I'm going to see them

best replacement s4 WALL charger

Looking to replace my oem S4 charger, I realize the samsung one is high quality and charges at 1900mA, but I don't want to spend $40+ on a charger..anyone have any good and cheaper alternatives, what will charge at least at 1200mA, links please? I been looking around amazon and online but I'm scared to get some cheap chinese ones.

Any other charger will charge slower than the official Samsung one because of the way it implements a quickcharge spec. That said, I use this one and it works well - but definitely slower than the Samsung one:

Any cable should be fine as long as it meets USB specs. I got a bunch on Monoprice that work great.

I bought this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CQS0S7E
It's probably NOT true OEM, but it does charge my S4 at 1900mA. However, the cable that came with it did not work. It won't even fit on the s4, or any other microUSB ports. It looked used/broken. I am using a regular USB cable from monoprice and it works fine.
btw, I ordered from BLUTEKUSA. I don't see them on the list of sellers right now, so it might be dangerous to buy these as there are a lot of negative reviews on the other sellers.

Bought a very cheap original Samsung Note2 charger here, does the job wonderfully.
Here's a small review of some charger I tested:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44651947&postcount=128
Seems like the blackberry playbook charger is all good, charges the phone perfectly and efficiently.
I am using the iGO Dual USB Wall Charger for Tablets. It has two 2.1Amp ports, comes with a 6 or 7 foot USB cable and the A97 tip for charging. Works wonderfully and found it on clearance at RadioShack for $8.98. I can charge my iPad and my S4 at the same time with no issues.

Type-C Charger [attached cord]

Howdy!!
I am obsessed with USB chargers that have all of the following qualities:
Reputable vendor (preferably OEM)
Attached cord
High amperage
Long cord (1.5m-2m)
In the past, I did much research and found one adapter that I became obsessed with this thought, and did a lot of research. After buying dozens of chargers, I found this. So I bought about 10x of them, gave as gifts, and placed them everywhere, I even have a spare one still in the package. Now that I have this type-C phone, I need it's successor. I prefer the attached cable because when I move around at night, I don't want the cable to come out. I also don't want someone to steal the cable off of my charger.
This is what I found, but it's looks cheap, and the cord is too short. If I don't find anything better, I'll have to go for it.
as far as attached cables go, I think the one Google sells is your only reputable option

I didn't realize that this had the attached cord. At $25 + shipping it's a bit steep, but I might go for it. Thank you.

This looks great! I've put it on my wishlist but it's currently out of stock. Might have to go with the Google charger.

Please suggest a good wireless charger!

Hi,
I've just bought the Nilkin MagicTag Type C Wireless charging receiver for the Mix. Considering how long the battery lasts, I realized I could live with the slower charging speeds of a wireless charger. I have only bought the receiver as of now and I need to buy a couple of wireless charging pads\stands.
I've seen a lot of cheap ones on ebay but I understand that there are a lot of fake ones being sold on ebay which doesn't offer close to the promised output.
Can someone suggest a reasonably priced good quality wireless charger? Thanks in advance!

Get the Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Charger,whether it be the stand,or,the less expensive model that lays flat:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/mo...charging-stand-black-sapphire-ep-ng930tbugus/
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/mo...s-charging-pad-black-sapphire-ep-pn920tbegus/
You can get these virtually anywhere for less than MSRP,however,ensure that what you're getting is indeed the Samsung branded one (lots of identical knockoffs that don't have "SAMSUNG" on the face of the charging base).
Also,some legit items are quite a bit cheaper as they may not include the charging cable & Samsung 2a adapter.
If you already have that,then the less expensive model(s) make sense.
Otherwise,read the fine print to ensure the cable & wall adapter are included.
Any 2a or above should be sufficient,but,don't expect high speed charging,due to the sticker you have not being able to provide it.

Apparently there are a lot of knockoffs with the Samsung logo being sold on ebay and Amazon. Its hard to determine whether the one we are getting is the real deal until we have it in hand and closely observe it. Check out these videos on youtube.
Samsung Real vs. Fake Wireless Charger
The only way to ensure that we get the real deal is to buy direct which costs around $50. Considering the Nilkin Magic Tag doesn't support fast charging, I don't think the 2A fast charger is any good.
Are you using a wireless charger? Is there a faster receiver available?
Since, this is my first time using wireless charging, does using fake wireless chargers cause any harm to the device? Like heating issues? Or is the only drawback lower charging speeds?

I don't use knock-offs of anything,if they're going to be deceptive about what/who they are,I sure as Hell am not about to encourage their shenanigans by rewarding them with my honestly-earned $$$.
With no regard for being genuine,I'm certain they couldn't care less about the safety of what they sell.
Also,the el-cheapos tend to be tempermental about charging,having smaller/weaker/fewer coils.
The Samsung chargers are discounted periodically,you just have to look around.
Regardless,you will pay a bit more vs knockoffs,but,you get what you pay for & believe me,w/wireless charging,it's worth it.
Otherwise,you might as well just plug-in the ol'school way....................
The only other brand I recommend is the TYLT stand:
https://www.amazon.com/TYLT-Wireless-Charger-Galaxy-Phones/dp/B00DG8NUC8
It's not fast,but,is reliable.
They only real drawback for this one is the proprietary cord/adapter.

Is there a sticker which supports 2A fastcharging? I ordered the Nilkin Magic Tag based on the reviews on amazon. But unfortunately, it only supports upto 1A charging.
If you know of one, please suggest.

1A is the highest rated one I've seen to date & outside of Samsung devices,I don't think there's anything,whether it be accessories/stickers/phones,that support/include fast wireless charging.

Thank you for the links. Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't offer international shipping on the items you've mentioned.
For now, I've managed to get the Nillkin Magic Tag and a Nillkin Magic Disk III Fast Charge Edition.
I wanted to get the Samsung Wireless Fast Charger but they are priced ridiculously high in New Zealand and its hard to say which one is the real deal on ebay! They have even managed to create knockoffs with the cooling fan built-in making it almost impossible to identify the genuine one from the knockoffs.
So I got a reasonably priced fast charger from Nillkin which claims to support Fast charging on compatible devices.
Guess I'll have to live with the slightly slower receiver until something faster is available for International buyers.
Cheers!

here is what i learned. unless your USB C tag is also fast charge you won't see any difference.
i had both the nillikan and the one that i linked which claims fast charging. unless everything in your setup is fast charge you aren't going to see the difference. with just a regular nillikan tag and the fast charger it will be normal. you need to get a fast charge tag - check Ebay.

Yes. I am aware of that. I just bought the fast charger as the price difference between the standard variant and the fast charging edition wasn't much. Moreover the standard variant was out of stock when i ordered.
If at some point, a fast charging receiver becomes widely available, I can make use of the fast charge feature.
Till then, I'll have to adjust with standard wireless speeds.
All of the generic tags currently available on ebay and the Nillkin Tag only support upto 1A charging as mentioned by KOLIOSIS earlier.
So I thought I'll get the Nillkin one as Nillkin is a decent brand. Some generic ones don't even come close to the speeds they claim.

I can vouch for the TYLT stand. I have two of them and they work great. It's definitely faster than the other flat style charging pads I've used. I gave one to my son for his Nexus 6, and he loves his too.

Third party Dash Charger and cables

Where can I buy a third party EU charger/cable that will give me the Dash Charge speed? They're all sold out on OnePlus's website so we can't even buy the proprietary charger from the company who makes it! I see a ton of "original" chargers on AliExpress but I'm skeptical as to whether they are actually original or will give me the full charging speed. Any feedback would be appreciated.
I've bought both cables and charger from AliExpress and those look and work exactly the same as the ones included with the phone.
This combo rapidly charges my op6
Both purchased from AliExpress.
I think that buying something labeled as oppo's "vooc" will acheive the results you're looking for.
Get Oppo chargers then. I have the AK779, but you'd need a different one than that.
