another charger thread - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

I searched hard through the forms to find the best charger for my pixel and I've decided that the universal 22.5 one google sells is the one I want. However it has been sold out on their site for ages!
I've looked through the sheet the USBC developer made and the top rated chargers are the 18w and 22.5w ones.
I'm sold does anyone have a link to snag them. I'm looking for atleast 2 (office and spare). I have 1 18w and if someone knows where to get those I'd gladly look at your source as well.
Ideally I want to steer clear of non oem chargers if possible(I have an Anker one that's great but that was lucky imo).
Thanks :good:

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.

If you would have searched the titles of threads in this forum for the word "charger" then you would have found my thread. Please remember to search in the future, if you did not this time.

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.

OEM charger $17 on ebay!! possible?

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.

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.

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.
