I'm looking for a USB-C plug for my Nexus 6P. There are so few on the market and I would like to try one.
http://www.amazon.com/Charging-Qualcomm-Certified-Supported-included/dp/B017I7EX46/
Anybody tried this charger and cc cable? Reviews say it works pretty well, but is there any tool like CheckR to test and approve the usb-c plug and cable? This might be important to note, due to the whole fiasco with the cables which would damage the phone/charger due to incorrect build. Benson Leung only tests AC cables as far as I know.
While there is the potential for a USB C charger and cable to not be powerful enough to meet the 3amp charging spec, a type C to C cable is unlikely to fail to be compliant in the same way as the A to C cables are.
The A to C cables were mostly non compliant as they were being identified as being compatible with the USB C spec and thus being able to supply 3amps of power, whereas in reality cables/chargers with type A connectors max out at 2.4 amps or in most cases a lot less.
A-C cables required a 56K resistor, but most companies initially used a 10K one which was the issue. C-C cables don't need a resistor the way that the A-C ones do,so they should all be compliant from what I understand.

I have been looking at the end chotech charger on amazon for 2 days now trying to figure out if it's OK or not since it's not on the Benson list of approved chargers.
Are you saying that if you get a charger like the one in the original posters link that has a USB c port you'll be fine because there is no USB A cable in the equation?

It should be fine as long as it only supports 5V/3(like the Choetech does) and not a different quick charging method like QC 2.0/3.0.

Sounds great I'm ordering it right now.
One more question, I found a C 2 C cable and it's 3Meters long. Does the length of the cable matter?

Even if it supports Qualcomm's QuickCharge, isn't part of the QC spec that there's a chip inside the charger to identify QC-capable devices and otherwise act as a 'normal' charger?
I would think so long as it supports 5V/3A you would be fine no matter what other standard it supports.
Here's a link to a google doc that details cables and charges that have been tested. It says if the item is compliant or not.

I don't see an issue, but keep in mine that longer cables could have a current drop due to increased resistance over the length. It shouldn't be a huge amount so I wouldn't worry about it. I use the Google 6ft C-C cable and get the full 3A when my battery is below 40%.

That's correct, but I don't want to fully recommend something that could cause an issue. I have a charger with QC 3.0 over the Type-C port and I have 0 issues using it. It still violates the USB standard to have QC 2.0/3.0 over a Type-C port, but that doesn't mean it won't work. It works, but could potentially cause an issue at some point. I can link you the post by Benson Leung along with the appropriate USB standard if you need it.

By any chance have you tested this one?
USB Type C Wall Charger, Tronsmart 33W Dual USB Turbo Wall Charger with Quick Charge 3.0 Technology for Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X (5V/3A)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019C23ZGW
Still waiting to receive mine. Obviously it's not up to spec because of the type-c + QC 3.0 standard on the same port but hopefully it works fine. And I also really want that extra type A port and foldable pins. I'm also thinking of getting a Robin when it comes out which uses type-C but with QC 2.0.

I haven't tested that charger, but I do have the exact same model with 2 Type-A ports instead of 1 A and 1 C. Maybe Tronsmart will send me one to test out You can see a review of the version I have in my signature (last link that's says Tronsmart Titan). I have their car charger which also has the same voltages over the Type-C port and it charges my 6P just fine even though its technically not in spec.

Yeah saw that when you first posted it. I've had other Tronsmart chargers and cables before. I also bought the Titan when it first came out too and they haven't failed or anything yet. I'm just a little cautious since type-C is new. Hopefully Tronsmart sends you the wall charger to test. I won't get mine for a few weeks due to international shipping and everything.
I've got the Choetech C to C charger and cable. Would recommend it without any hesitation. Build quality is on par with the stock charger, but nothing more. It's not braided or anything, so it's a normal cable with a normal charger

I guess we will see what happens. The Titan is a beast, but I can't use the full potential is has with 2 phones. The wall charger should work fine if it's anything like their car charger.
I do not work for CHOETECH, I merely providing informative information because I've tested several usb type-c cables and chargers, and the CHOETECH are still some of my favorites. Also you can check out my video reviews of all for several companies on my youtube channel. 'Techbswift'.. I reviewed a CHOETECH wall charger weeks ago and I still use it everyday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...tech-rapid-charger-actually-nexus-6p-t3263173
So CHOETECH has heard it's customers loud and clear and they continue to ensure all their products meet the standards. They are getting ready to release an updated car charger and a new top of the line 3 in one wall charger. The wall charger will be extremely sweet because it will be the first on the market that provides a 3 in one charger, and it will follow type-c standards. I'm extremely pumped because it will have the ability to charger my 12" Macbook Retina and my phone at the same time. Having only one usb port on the Macbook sucks... The charger will also have auto detect so if you are charging less say your Nexus 6p and a Note 5, it will know the exact settings to charger the Note 5.
The updated car charger will drop sometime around the end of the month ( I hope) and will be an updated version of the charger they released. I still use the old charger but I guess they wanted to ensure their car charger meets 100% of the expectations of usb type-c standards.
I stole some of this information from the web pages on Amazon, and if you haven't grabbed one of the old but amazing wall chargers yet the link is below.

1. 5v/3a type c rapid adapter is the first 3rd 5v/3a USB-C adapter on the market now.
2. With a 5v/3a type c port, the upcoming 39W 3 ports type c wall charger will be perfectly compatible with most type c devices, like 12'' Retina Macbook, Google Pixel C, Nexus 6p/5x, Lumia 950/950 XL etc, the other two auto-detect ports can charge most of android devices and apple devices, which will be a must have at home and on office desk.
3. As for the upcoming 33w Type C car charger, with an Quick Charge 2.0 port and a Type C 5V 3A charging port, this car charger can charge most of devices also.
That's good service right there. I will wait for the new one to be released to pick one up.

For #1, they really need to ditch their wall wart design and move on to power bricks like Anker and Aukey did long, long ago.
#2 looks like the first of it's kind.
#3 is already available and is just OKAY. At $16 and no included USB type-C cable, you're not really saving anything over the Google charger on the Google Store.
Im dissapointed they dont release these in the UK.
We have no type c wall charger apart from Google official.
Hello
Im about to order QC 3.0 charger by AUKEY (I understood that it's really recommended)
and I'd likfe to buy a type - c cable that fits the 3.0 qc and will not harm the phone.
What cable do you recommend?
Thanks!
I bought two of these in the braided cord variation. I'm extremely pleased with the quality.
I'm unable to post a link, but iOrange-E makes a fantastic USB Type-C cable that I've been using since the G5 launch in April. It's found in Amazon for eleven bucks I think.
I got the iSpecle cable and it works perfectly!

As far as I know iOrange-E cables, altough great, are not compatible with LG G5 Quick Charge 3.0. I believe the only cables compatible with Quick Charge 3.0 are those that support 3 amps. The iOrange-E cables supports up to 2.4 amp only.

Not sure if this is true. I was using a 6 ft braided iOrange-E cable since I got the phone up until my dog decided to chew on it, but during that time, QC 3.0 worked flawlessly.

Were you using this cable with the wall charger that came with the G5?
I was using the iOrange-E cable with the wall charger that came with the G5 and it worked perfectly up until a few weeks ago. Less than a two month life span and now the phone constantly complains about slow-charging when using the iOrange-E cable. I switched to the cable-matters cable posted above and have had no issues. I actually already had the cable matters cables for car/travel use and they work perfectly. I do wish they made a 10ft cable, but oh well.
iOrange-E 2.4A cable works because the G5 included wall charger is not Quick Charger 3.0 certified but only Quick Charger 2.0 certified and as such it don't requires 3A cables.
Both specifications - QC2 and QC3 - are reported by G5 as Fast Charging, but make no mistake: the charging rates are not the same. QC 2 charges 0-50% in about 25-30 minutes while QC 3 charges 80% in 35 minutes.
To exploit the above Quick Charger 3.0 rates, you need not only a Quick Charger 3.0 certified charger but also a compatible 3A cable.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a compliant compact USB C car charger? The addition of QC 3.0 would be a nice feature as well, but it isn't mandatory. Thanks for your time!
ive had this one for more then a year now and love it.

I should have been more clear. I'm looking for a USB C to USB C charger for the car to use with the 6P so that I can get the "charging rapidly" ability.

This one charges at full rapid speed and has an outlet for another device. (in short it rocks!) https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0172QQNBY/
I think I'll go with the Aukey one, that looks really nice. Anyone know of any good 1ft C to C cables? Amazon doesn't seem to have many 1FT sized ones.
Choetech makes good cables and has a 1' one. They also sell a nice, compact charger with both a type C and a qc3 port
Can't post link, but the Blitzwolf model is what I've used with my 6p the past year and I highly recommend. Built-in cable with a second port for another device. Go to Amazon and search for: BlitzWolf 27W 5V/3A Type-C Port Attached Cable + 5V/2.4A USB Quick Charger
Blitzwolf is good, and likely the same as what weisguy linked to. It's sold under many brands, I think aukey or Anker or one of the bigger brands has it too
I have this one and I really love it. Small, but good, and approved by Benson Leung.
I just stumbled upon this when looking for a new car charger that would keep USB C for my 6P, and the new Nexus in case it also doesn't support QC, but wanted QC support as well for USB A since I just bought an expensive Anker Power line+ USB A to C cable (they don't offer C to C). But, I wanted 2 USB A ports, not just 1.
Lo and behold, the only car charger of its kind! This puppy has 2x USB A QC 3.0 ports & 1x USB C with QC 3.0 as well.
I will have it Saturday and test it out for both my Note7 and 6P. Their other products have pretty good reviews. I guess the customer service may suck if the product fails according to some reviews, but it seems like a low failure rate, and with Prime I'm not too worried.

5V/3A is the USB C standard, so any C charger should work. But the new Nexuses could use QC - my Tronsmart car charger has had USB C with QC and works fine with my 6P and any QC device I tried. But more importantly, I have a 6P and so does my girlfriend, but I also have a Note7, so the flexibility is nice.

Benson approved really doesn't matter for this. LG, HTC, Samsung, and Qualcomm all support/back using QC over USB C with properly made cables and chargers. Just because it doesn't adhere to the standard doesn't automatically mean anything is wrong with it. USB C power delivery calls for what, 20V at 5A or something like that? It can obviously handle the load.

I just don't trust it that's all. there are too many manufacturers making type c chargers with Vbus hot and bridged CC - which is dangerous for devices/chargers. IMO if they are willing to break one spec, they are likely willing to break multiple.

Sure, for about 15 minutes. Thought I posted back here but apparently not.
It's trash. Yes, it has all the mentioned ports and it works perfectly with each device briefly. Problem is, it becomes thermally overloaded and the charge speeds drop DRAMATICALLY. USB C charging, even at 5V/3A, was by far the worst. Charging a USB C device by itself would rapid charge for about 30-45 minutes before slowing way down. QuickCharge generally worked okay for a little bit longer. If you had 2 devices charging at the same time, you'd be lucky to keep them going for 20 minutes. Also, it constantly drew power (a significant amount) from my car's power port because it was ALWAYS very warm to the touch which made the overheating problem happen even faster if I didn't unplug it in-between uses.

Good to know. I've been having a frustrating hunt for a fast charging car charger.
I took this Aukey charger with me on a one-month, 3,000 mile road trip and it worked perfectly the whole time, just used the C-C cable that comes with the 6p charger. Can't recommend it enough.

I bought this one price was right and it charges almost as quickly as oem. The only con is the cable is built in.
You can look at the brand anker ?
I use this one. It charges just as fast as the OEM wall charger. Plus it has a standard Qualcomm quick charge 2.0 if you have another device.
