Type C cables that Charge Rapidly. - Nexus 6P Accessories

Hi I got a 6P a while back I'm useing my Nexus 6 charger/adaptor an I notice that when I plug a white cheap USB to type c cable to my phone it says Rapidly charging..So I ordered 2 Spigen USB 3.0 to type C cables an when I plug them into my Nexus 6 adaptor it says just Charging but seems to charge fast..I also ordered a Cheotech Faster charger that came with a USB to type C cord an when I plug it in it says just Charging if I use that cheap White type C cable with the Cheotech charger it says Rapidly Charging..Very weird..So I'm wondering even tho it says just charging is it still Rapie charging fast.My wife hooks up here S7 edge to the Cheotech an it says Rapidly Charging..

2 pictures of what I purchased from Amazon..

USB-A to USB-C won't fast charge your 6P. You need a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-C charger capable of fast charging at 5V/3A.
I suggest you take a look at Benson Leung (engineer at Google) on Google+ or over at Amazon for an approved charger and cable.
I personnally have the Choetech USB-C charger and the USB-C to USB-C cable for travelling and it works perfectly.

It says fast charging if charging over 2A I believe. This is "fast" charging, but USB-A only goes up to 2.4A. Full USB C to USB C will allow 3A of charging speed. You shouldn't have bought that charger or cable.
Get a Type C charger and Type C to C cable. Anker makes good, stylish cables as well.

Mine only says charging at 2.4A. I only achieve fast charging at 3A. It's a 20-30 mins difference to full charge. Not a big deal.

5V 3A Charger?

Currently I am using both N6P and M8.
N6P supports 5V/3A but no QC2, and M8 supports QC2.
I don't want to carry 2 chargers all the time, so I did little bit search and found this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0122P71FC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
It seems to be a good one, with 5V 3A, 9V 1.67A, 12V 1.2A, so now I guess I can use it with Zaptip.
Anything similar to that?

I have charger along with a USB-A to C cable. My 6P doesn't register as quick charging when using it.

On 5V 3A?
If that's what it's actually outputting then the nexus doesn't see it that way. I suppose it may be my cables. I don't have a USB-C to A adapter to try the C to C cable that came with the phone.
FYI I have this charger and it registers as fast charging with my Nexus 6p:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HPTU00E
Can't say for sure if it charges exactly the same power/speed as the stock charger, but did notice it was definitely charging very fast..
It's the $10.99 20W black version.

Says 5V 2.4A for each port. So I guess it would be slower than the stock one.

Possibly but it did say rapid charging and it did charge plenty fast to me.
Honestly the stock charger doesn't seem very fast to me

When I plugged in my 6P's 5V/3A charger at 19% it said it would take 1 hour to charge. When I tried my iPad brick(5.2V/2.4A) and a USB C to USB A I got from amazon and it said it would take 1 hour to charge from 18%. Both said charging rapidly. It seems as long as the wall adapter puts out 5V and 2A or more it should charge rapidly, regardless of the wall adapter being USB A or C.
This charger situation is a nightmare. But....
I bought one of these awhile ago for $12 on sale, and I didn't expect for it to quick charge the Nexus 6p, but it does seem to register as quick charging.

The charger listed in the first post will register as quick charging when using a USB 3.1 certified A to C cable.

5V 3A Type A Wall Plug

So I bought the USB 2.0 A to C iOrange-E 6.6 Ft (2M) Braided Cable on Amazon just now and realized that I still need a type A wall plug that is 3A rated so I can get fast charge. In wake of the Benson reviews I have no idea what wall piece I should be using.
Any help??
It doesn't exist. Currently only C to C cables can support 3 amps.
I've got a 2.4A 4 port USB A charger from mPow I've been using for about a year, folding plug, very nice, seems to charge everything quickly. I'm charging my new RavPower battery with it now. When my 6P shows up next week I'll give it a shot with my new iOrange cable. I highly recommend this charger as a travel charger though, been magical.
I should note, it does say 5V 5A on it.

What is a good wall plug and power bank?!

Hello
What is a good wall plug give me as speed as google wall plug?!
Dose anker Q.C 3.0 gives the same speed ?!
And what is the best power bank also gives nearly or same speed as google wall plug ?!
What about ravpower power bank 20100mAh with type c?!
QC 3.0 will not work with the 6P. You'll need a charger that accepts USB C on the adapter end to gain the full advantages of 5v/3a charging that the 6P takes. Example would be the Choetech USB C charger or the Tronsmart USB C charger.

Charging issues

HI,
I'm using the charger that came with the phone into a wall socket(uch20).
If I use a USB-C cable it charges at around 1100ma for 5 minutes and drops to under 600ma and phone then discharges faster than charging. I have left it overnight and woke up to 7% battery this morning.
If I use a Micro USB cable with a USB-C to Micro USB Charger I get a around 1100ma all the time and the phone charges fine.
I'm using the Sony UCB20 Cable and some Aukey USB-C ones I bought on Amazon.
The Micro USB adapter is a Aukey one and the cable is a Sony UCB16 cable.
I'm also using the Ampere app to check the MA.
Anyone know what the problem is.
Thanks

USB Type C to Type C Quick Charge

I upgraded to LG V30 from Nexus 6P. Skipped the Pixel and Pixel 2 series...
I have a large supply of USB Type C to Type C cables that rapidly charged my Nexus 6P....they will not fast charge the V30 though.
My Type A to C cables will not fast charge it either with anything but the stock LG charger.
I tried the "AUKEY Amp USB Charger with 60W Dual USB C & 4 USB Ports for LG G5, HTC 10, Nexus 5X / 6P and More" from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EXWXVWO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
That is supposed to support Quick Charge from both the Type A ports and Type C ports but LG V30 would not say fast charging with any of the ports or cables I used.
Is anyone having any luck with 3rd party Quick Chargers? I wireless charge at night with a dock and in my car but I like to have quick chargers spread around the house for when I need to charge up fast before running out of the house.
I'd prefer Type C ports so I can use all of my Type C to Type C cables...but I'll take anything that works. Looking for multi-port options like the Aukey above so my family can charge their devices too at the same time.
Any suggestions?

Thanks....really looking for one that has USB Type C ports...I have like a dozen of those cables now (type C on both ends)...all a different color than the USB Type A to Micro USB cables that all the other phones in my house use...makes it easy to grab the right cable among the bunch of them...
Are you getting super slow charge, like 4 hrs reported or just not quite as fast?
I have the Nexus 5x and that charger charhes my V30 close to the OEM QC3 charger, just slightly slower.
I did have some issues with a desktop USB-C PCI card triggering a file transfer mode, which gave it that 4 hr slow charge estimate. I had to reset it in developer options and reboot (even though it already was set to "charge only"). Something buggy going on.

I think it may be charging close to stock charger with my Nexus 6P compatible chargers and Type C cables....but my battery lasts so long and I wireless charge at night...so have not done real test where the battery was close to zero yet.
Was hoping for the phone to confirm it is in fast charge mode...but if it still charges fast that is good enough...we'll see...
I have the same issue. chargers and cables that work with my Nexus 6P do not necessarily charge the V30. seems the USB A to USB C cables don't work as they do for the 6P.

I had something similar with the htc 10. Charger and cable both from aukey together would not work but same components paired with any other worked.
The fastest possible type C charging is Power Delivery (PD)
19V vs 9V (QC 2.0)
should we all email LG to let the know the V30 is very picky with QC3.0 chargers? maybe they can resolve this in a future update?
My V30, V20, and G5 all exhibit the same behavior when using USB-PD: 5V 2A or 9V 1.67A peak. So if you want the fastest possible charging you need a charger that supports 9V. The 5V 3A chargers wont cut it.

Yep, been noticing this too... Only 2a. It's still ok speed but not as good as the qc3 charger. Wonder if those who got c-c chargers got the 9v?

This has worked great on my v30. Charged it from 25% to 95% in about 40min. Only thing I don't like is that it has no light to tell if it's connected good in the plug

The fastest possible type c charging is the fastest charging standard both your phone and charger support. My zte Max xl will only charge at 5v 1.5a from a usb-pd charger, but it will charge at 9v 1.15a with a qc 2.0 charger.

I've got this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074N3ZJQJ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0722DMYTN/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and they QC my VS996 perfectly. Love the 6.6ft cables, especially bedside and in the SUV.
I've discovered something interesting about the V30 and PD. The V30 accepts 12V via PD but not via QC3.0. Up until now all of my PD chargers have been 5, 9, and 15V but I recently got a power bank that outputs 5, 9, and 12v. I've never seen a phone accept 12v before.

I have a 12v c-c power delivery charger and it still won't fast charge my phone. When I plugged it into the a to c yesterday it said fast charging 1h 10m remaining to full and when I use the c to c it says charging 1h 20m remaining. It's not much slow but it is and it makes no sense because usb c is the fastest possible way to charge something over USB.
Why would they make this phone use USB c if they aren't even taking advantage of it? My 6p had a bigger battery that charged faster than this phone because they actually utilize the USB c.
