The only charger that's charging my Pixel C is the original charger that came with the device.
I have a number of other chargers here, even a QC3.0 charger, and another USB-C charger (from a Moto Z2). None of them is charging the Pixel C! They do light up the charging icon, but when I look into the battery settings, it says: 'not charging'
What are your experiences with charging the Pixel C?
i use the factory charger, the charger from my oneplus 5, and if it is connected to my pc it charges during that time. i remember using a few others also and have had no issues with any specific charge method. in fact, i am sorta surprised by the post. i know the factory charger has a built-in cable, so i might first look at the cable used with any other charger. i bought some usb-a to usb-c cables from amazon and the oneplus 5 is a good usb-a to usb-c cable.
I purchased this from amazon
Anker Quick Charge 3.0 and USB Type-C 24W USB Wall Charger, PowerPort+ 1 for Galaxy C9 Pro, Nexus, Moto and More
I think it came with a cord
Anker PowerLine+ C to C 2.0 cable (6ft), High Durability, for USB Type-C Devices Including Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, the new MacBook, Nintendo Switch, Google Pixel, Nexus 6P, LG V20 G5 and More
this is optional.

All my chargers do that, including the original one. It takes maybe half a minute to a minute before this changes to "charging" in battery settings. So it's not a charger problem really.

well.... it once drained the battery, the screen stayed on because a charger was connected, but it did not actually charge the battery. i thought it was charging, some time later i noticed that it was not!
this and other experiments made me write this question on the forum.
update: due to a problem with the PIN I had to factory reset my Pixel C https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73807273&postcount=20
and ever since, different chargers NOW do charge the Pixel C!!! strange, but that's how it is now....
Sorry for resurrecting this old thread. Hopefully this may help others with this problem.
I am on my second pixel c and both had/have this problem with aftermarket chargers. For me, the problem is not that the chargers won't charge the unit, but that they won't charge the unit every time they're plugged in. My workaround is to run the ampere app and repeatedly plug the charger into the unit until it shows it charging. Normally it takes no more than 5 tries. It even charges rapidly.
I currently use an anker charger that works as above, my previous charger, Aukey, also worked similarly. Strangely enough, it doesn't matter which end of the cable(usb-c or USB) is removed and reinserted to get the pixel c charging. This proves to me that it's not a bad connection.
I can confirm that the Anker aftermarket charger works great. When I plug in the Pixelbook charger into the Pixel C the tablet will charge but it will reboot android everytime.... Very annoying!

Moto X Pure and Quick Charge 2.0 woes with 3rd party accessories
There are few threads around with discussions about the 2015 Moto X Pure and Quick Charge 2.0 (QC) problems with various accessories:
Anker powercore+ 10050 charging issue
Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 10400mAh Portable External Battery Fast Charger
Some people seem to have better luck in that their battery packs work with the Pure.
Since this is an important issue to me I wanted to get some more information about it. For me the most important use case is the car charger. I use my phone for navigation and a non-QC charger is not able to keep up and the phone keeps discharging while navigating.
I have the Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 30W 2 Ports USB Car Charger and it does not work with the Pure.
The symptoms are:
When I plug it in I get the splash screen for "TurboPower Connected" and the battery icon in the status bar shows the lightning bolt for charging. However if I look into the battery status screen it shows that it stops charging few seconds later. It will re-start charging few seconds later but it stops again.
I am using the included 20AWG cable but the symptoms are the same with Anker 20AWG cable and any other micro-usb cable I have tried.
The non-QC port works as expected, for 5W charge. (about 1A on 5V) but that is not enough.
I have the Anker PowerDrive+ 1 and Anker PowerCore+ 10050 on order and will experiment further and report when I get it.
Which QC2.0 charger do you have and is it working with the Pure? What cable are you using?
========================================================================
Bootup reports below that these chargers work for him for both rooted and non-rooted Pure:
Tronsmart Quad Port (4-port) 54W Rapid Car Charger
Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 18W USB Turbo Wall Charger
Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 42W 3 Ports USB Desktop Charging Station
Anker Quick Charge 2.0 18W USB Turbo USB Wall Charger
Several people below report that the
Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 36W 2 Ports USB Car charger works with the Pure. Note the difference to the Aukey 30W car charger that only has 1 Quick Charge 2.0 port.

You'll have issues with the PowerCore since its QC compatible. I just purchased a Aukey Quick Charge 2-port which is the same as the Aukey you bought but both ports are QC 2.0. Both mine and my wifes MXPE is in on the way and should be delivered tomorrow. I will have to try out the adapters and from the sounds of it, I don't think it will work.
I also purchased two Aukey QC Turbo Wall Chargers. From what I've been reading, Anything QC 2.0 is going to give the Pure an issue with charging. However, in one of the Aukey/Anker threads, an unrooted phone gave issues but when rooted, it worked fine.
I posted this is one of those threads:
So I tried this with my Aukey and interesting results. The un-rooted, stock MPX exhibits this behavior (stops charging after 10 seconds or so). But on the rooted MPX, it keeps charging with no issues. Rooted MPX, Xposed installed (Bootmanager, Apps Ops, Rootcloak). Attentive Display and wave off but everything else is normal.
For my car, I have Tronsmart 4 port QC charger (http://goo.gl/y200OR) for my car and it works with both rooted and unrooted phone.
In addition to supplied turbo charger, I have Aukey 1 port wall charger (http://goo.gl/qKq5YS), Aukey 3 port charger (http://goo.gl/rwXPkh) and Anker 1 port wall charger (http://goo.gl/3huSvk) and they all work fine with both phones.

Good to know that the Aukey 1 port wall charger works because that's what I bought for me and my wife. I don't like that they hardwired the cable to the brick. The OEM charger will be staying in the box.
It seems that wall chargers have no problems at all but external QC battery packs has issues. It could be an issue with the phone reading the power output or something.

Thank you, I'd be interested in hearing how those models work.
It is unfortunate that device that are both certified by Qualcomm to be QC2.0 compatible do not work together. Hopefully this will be handled properly by Motorola.
The behavior difference between rooted and unrooted Pure is strange but at least it gives hope that this can be fixed with a software update.
I have the Quick Charge Certified external battery packs Aunkey and Anker. they both charge for under a minute then stop charging.
Tried multiple cables,

If you look at the post above yours, its the same product and he says it works.
For those having issues with Quick Charge battery packs...are you using the phone while the charging stops or do you have it charging with the screen off? I remember seeing an article that showed how charging actually slows down while the screen is on.

I have exactly the same problem. It worked fine with N6, but MXP stops charging after 5 seconds with the same charger. I tried different cables and found out that some short ones from accessories like Logitech Perfomance MX or selfie stick work with slow rate. Sending back Aukey.
OEM wall charger is crazy fast. It went from 24% to 72% in less than 30min.

Thanks for the report. Mine mostly only stays charging for few seconds but sometimes it keeps going for longer (I've only tried for few minutes though).
There seems to be a consensus forming that the rooted units work better with third party power supplies. I just cannot fathom why that would be so. Certainly the firmware could configure the charger differently but why would it?
I received my Anker PowerCore+ 10050 today and I have to say the form factor of excellent. My old battery pack is 15000mAh and at least subjectively it feels more than 50% larger. If only this one had two outputs it would be a killer. I cannot speak for non-QC2.0 charging speeds though.
It also charged like a beast. I connected the Motorola 25W Quick Charge 2.0 charger to it and my Kill-A-Watt indicated ~24W output. Even taking into account a 10% inefficiencies in AD-DC and DC-DC converters that is a lot for the promised 9V / 2A input. This is for charging the battery with the Moto charger.
As for using the battery to charge my Moto X Pure the data is not consistent. At work I plugged it in using a unnamed cable and it would charge for ~10s (indicating TurboPower Connected) and then stop completely, not restarting at all.
When I got home I plugged it in using a Monoprice 1.5ft cable it keeps in charging (with "TurboPower connected") even after multiple connections and disconnections. I think more experimentation is needed.
Hello
I need to replace the usb cable that connects to the original charger that comes along with the phone.
There are cables out there that are sold as original Samsung cables but don't fast charge the phone in 78 minutes from 0% to 100% even if they are connected to the original charger.
So is there a cable that truly fast charges the phone exactly like the original in 78 minutes?
The cable has nothing to do with it. Use a regular functioning USB cable with a Quick Charge 3.0 charger (such as the Samsung charger with the lightning bolt on it, or the Anker Quick Charge series) and the phone negotiates with the charger. The cable is just a medium. I prefer the Anker PowerLine+ cables for their durability; the stock Samsung cables are fragile.

Τhanks a lot socal87. I was thinking the same thing as you but i got worried from negatives reviews in amazon ( saying that the cable they bought wasn't fast charging the phone).
Also in another well known forum, there were comments like the following :
"Samsung plays with the extra pins on the microUSB connector to tell the phone different things - like USB/AC charge, or fast/normal charge."
"My troubleshooting with 7 different cables showed me that the the very new Samsung charger cables that came with non-fast-charging phones did not fast charge when connected to the fast charger adapter portion. It appears that the cable does in fact matter. I tried many combinations of cables and adapters during my testing."
I will buy an Anker cable as you suggested. In another forum i read than indeed the Anker cables do the job right with fast charging. Thanks again.
Of course the cable has to do with the charging of the phone, try charging with a cheap $2 cable from eBay and try yourself.
Best cables (that i use) are from Monoprice, get their Ferrite core one, best cable out there, charges my phone to 90% in around 70-80 minutes with normal charging (no Fast Charging)
Try any original cable from HTC Nokia Samsung Motorola you can find one in repair place ask him for used original one or new...
Τhank you all for your suggestions. I have already ordered an Anker powerline cable from Amazon and i face any problem i ll buy one of those you suggested.
Blitzwolf does be more better distance charge of 1m at Maximum average 2,1-2,4A of 9V/2A or 5V/3A
You can find Samsung original cable in any official service. I have paid 5$ for a 2m long cable and it takes about 1.h20m to charge from 1%
Has anyone found any cheap chargers that can charge this phone like the Essential charger does (really fast)? I have bought two different chargers and neither of them can really even charge the phone. The lock screen says it's charging slowly, and the battery meter acts like it's charging, but it doesn't actually charge. The chargers were both Quick Charge 3.0 chargers too. None of my old phone chargers with a type-c adapter will charge the phone either.

No idea. Honestly, I don't know of anyone who consciously needs to control the speed of their charge. I avoid charging overnight by rapid charging during the day at work.
does it really need PD? they are kind of expensive and there are chargers out there with 5V, 6V, 9V, 12V @ 3A

I'm not sure how Android is programmed to display "Rapidly Charging", but I'm sure it's not by charging standard. Probably based on supplied power, but it definitely doesn't charge as fast as the stock charger. I noticed this with my QC chargers. It will say rapidly charging for a couple minutes and then just not charge at all or say charging slowly. Frustrating as hell so I bought an extra USB PD charger.
My Samsung chargers all work, and charge the phone to 100%. They just say charging, not quick charging, but whatever... The % goes up.

Yeah...it doesn't. I'm such a tool I assumed it did and bought two Ankar QC3 wall chargers and a Tronsmart QC3 car charger. None of them are able to charge the phone at all, says that it's charging slowly but doesn't seem as though it's charging at all.

Phone needs a charger with USB-C Power Delivery and not QC. Anker has at least one model and Incipio has one as well. There are many others on Amazon.. The cool thing about those is that they also change my XPS-13. Only carry one charger when I travel.
I've got a few QC 2/3 chargers and a few USB-C PD chargers and what I've found is that depending on which USB-C to USB-A makes a difference whether I get rapid charge or not.
I'm slowly converting over to USB-C to USB-C but it is stupid expensive for some things like the power packs with USB-C...
Anyway, try a few different cables and see if it works for you, also it seems to work a tiny bit better on the Oreo Beta however my QC 2.0 car charger doesn't charge as fast as it did on 7.1.1 but luckily the car chargers are the cheapest USB-C PD items to buy, roughly about the same price as a cable.
One last note, the same charger and cable don't always go into rapid charging mode so replugging the cable in sometime kicks in rapid mode for me.

Haven't tried it, but something like this with USB PD sounds like it would be good - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Charger-Delivery-Output-Adaptor-Samsung/dp/B01M2BLLVN/
I had my phone plugged into a regular USB jack on a car this weekend and the battery didn't charge at all
Alas, not available in the US...
My Poco F2 Pro charges fine (and very fast) with a USB-C to USB-C cable connected to a USB-C fast charger such as a Samsung. But if I try to charge it with a USB-A to USB-C cable connected to any charger, the phone only draws 0.5A ( I have a USB power dongle to check this ) and that's not fast enough to actually keep the phone charged when in use.
Every other phone I've tried will at least draw over an amp, even those which support fast charging.
I've tried multiple chargers, multiple cables, and nothing except C-C with fast charging will actually charge the phone.
Is this normal behaviour for the phone, or do I have a fault with mine. (It was bought second-hand with a warranty, but no charger or cable in the box).
No it's not normal, mine charges at least at QC3 speeds with various compatible chargers, powerbank and cables. Even with Huawei's fast charger, which seems not to be fully compatible, it charges about 2A (measured in accubattery).
It has a strange behavior if it's like that. What about original cable and charger, that's A to C, should charge very fast.
I had another issue regarding charging, whichever charger/cable I was using (let's say max 5V/2A), in accubattery it was measured around 3A, and the charger would overheat like crazy. You know when you want to charge slower, all what they tell you on the web is to use a less powerful charger... and this is what I did, but not with great results though. On my previous phone it was working just fine. On my wife's Mate20Pro it's also working well, but not on F2Pro. Even if the cable was rated 3A and I would connect it to the original charger, it would still draw 5A from it... Only way to solve it was AccA apk so I limit the current that the phone draws and I'm happy.

Unfortunately I don't have the original charger and cable as it was a used phone which is otherwise in perfect working order. I've had no problems with c-c fast chargers, but nothring else works.

What ROM is on the phone right now? May I suggest going completely stock with MiFlash to rule out the software part?

Just search and buy original charger if u want full charging speed, one guy made a great test of different chargers and different cables on this phone, check this here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/poco-f2-pro-charging-study-how-fast-does-it-charge.4189013/
There's something wrong with his device.
0.5 A is too low for any charger.
When i plug my P7P in to an Anker Nano III the P7P vibrates 4 times about 10 seconds apart before charging commences normally, is this how a PPS charger negotiates with the phone or is there a problem be it the charger or the phone?
Didn't even know what PPS was, but just did some reading on it. That explains my car charger. The delay happens no matter what I plug up, my iPad, wireless earphones cases, Pixel 4 XL, and now my 7 Pro. Seems like they're working as intended.
What is PPS Fast Charging, and What’s the Difference Between PD, QC, and PPS?
As the latest addition to the PD 3.0 standard, the PPS fast charging standard is the best charging technology for USB-C devices. Get a RAVPower PPS fast charger and power your devices in minutes!

Never noticed this with my OnePlus 9 charger (that's also a PPS charger). I'll have to look out for it next time.

Well, even if the charger fails to negotiate the PPS charging protocol, it would be still charing at minimum speed, usually the standard 5 Volts at around 1-2 Amps (depending on the charger/phone).
It seems like it's being interrupted for some reason. Unless you have the same issue with other chargers, I'm pretty sure it's the charger you're trying to use (Maybe even the cable).

I've noticed that recently with newer chargers, some even explicitly mention it on their pages.
I don't know why newer ones are doing this compared to older PPS chargers, speculating either lower cost for a charge control chip that instead has to reset between negotiations or it's intentional to solve bugs with devices that might not negotiate right unless the connection is reset.
Cheers for the answers everyone, if it wasn't for the regular nature of the handshake (for want of a better description) and then charging as you'd expect I'd say the charger is wonky (Anker Nano III) simply because it is brand new.
I have ordered a new cable just to rule that out all my old cables as well.
I must have more charging bricks knocking about than a charging brick shop but from what i can gather only the Nano III is a PPS one
Hopefully it is OK now and the new cable seems to have sorted it out but i guess i will see more in the coming days.
The cable i got is an Anker 643 (just for future reference) I have always used Anker cables so i must have had an iffy one.
Hi, i noticed that my phone wasn't fast charging, despite i have an anker that reaches 18w. What kind of charger can i buy that allow my pixel to have fast charge?

Any charger which can handle at least 23w. Anything over that(per port) will be useless.
Also the biggest gripe of the Pixel 7 series is not having rapid charging.
Thank you for the reply! I had to buy a new charger because mine was not compatible I guess. The phone didn't show up the "fast charging" indication and it took 2.20 hrs to charge from 30% to 100%.
The Anker Nano 3 is 30W, PD 3.0 and PPS this is the UK version but all other regions version have folding pins which make it super compact.
