Hey All, new to this forum but have done my fair share of lurking so will contribute as much as I can.
This problem that I've encountered is puzzling me. At first I thought my port on my phone was broken and have ordered a replacement part but before I do that and do a factory reset I was wondering if anyone has had similar problems. Hoping its a software problem bc of Android OS 10
- So oem usb-c to usb-c with fast charge (OEM) doesn't work
- 2 other usb-c to usb-c with fast chargers dont work.
- usb-c to usb-a with regular charger (think its 1a-2a) works, slow charge as expected when off faster but still slower
Any ideas outside of factory reset and port replacement??
Before you go to too much trouble, make sure the bottom of the port is clear of pocket lint or other debris that might keep the cable from fully seating in the port.
I recently bought the following ugreen cables, working just fine, rapid charge, etc

We have 2x 2XLs at home - I recently found out that one of the OEM cables was not working properly and charging only when IT decides.
I bought a new one from Aliexpress for a few USD and now it works/charges everytime (with the OEM adapter).

Yea I have a ton of those guys. Very nice
Back when MicroUSB was just coming about, my new phone had micro while my bluetooth headset and work blackberry used the older miniUSB.
Instead of buying all new chargers and car kits, I opted for those guys. Works great and an awesome solution. All of my data and charger cables are miniUSB with one of those bad boys on it. So I can use 1 cable for a wide array of devices.
Typically they are like $1.xx so buy them up.
Since I already tried 4 USB car chargers (Osungo Carjuice 2.1A, Belkin 2.1A, Ewent 2.1A, Belkin 1A) with several USB cables (my intention is to use this cable I got from dx.com), but none of the combinations succeeded in charging my N5 while using navigation on the road.
In the settings menu -> battery all of them display Charging (AC) when plugged in my car.
During night time they keep the battery around the same level and during day time the battery percentage even slowly drops.
I'm going to perform some measurements later today with Battery Monitor Widget and/or Currentwidget to get some numbers.
The stores close-by only sell this stuff for ridiculous prices, so I spent enough money on gas already. I haven't ordered anything online yet since it seems nothing is guaranteed to work and therefore I don't want to deal with the hassle of return processes plus shipping costs.
The only car charger that does work is the charger that came with my Galaxy Nexus car holder, but I never liked that charger since it doesn't have a coiled cable so the cable is all over the place across your dash and it has no universal USB connection to charge all kind of devices in your car.
Also I'm looking for a solution which doesn't require soldering of some sort.
Does the USB car charger + coiled USB cable which I'm looking for even exist and why is it so hard to just get a working car charger for your N5?
Today I did some measurements with Currentwidget and the problem lies in the cable which I got from Dealextreme.
When I tested with the USB cable which came with the N5 all chargers work fine.
Now I hope I can find a coiled USB cable which works just like the original N5 cable for a decent price.
Found one from Mediabridge, but it seems this cable isn't available in the Netherlands and on Ebay shipping costs are insane.
Does the 1A charger still charge the phone while navigating? Or is a 2.1A charger needed?

Both can charge the phone while navigating, as long as you use the right cable.
Very annoying since there is no way to tell which cable is good and which cable is not good.
This was also noticed in the following threads:
[Q] Terrible charge rate?
Need good car charger recommendations please
Discharging while using Navigation
Tried the cable which came with the HTC OEM Car Charger CC C200, together with a 2.1mAh car charger and it barely charged the N5 while navigating. The charging level went up 1% in about 25 minutes time, in comparison if you use the cable which came with the N5 the level will have gone up around 15-20%.
The Mediabridge cables (such as this one) should suffice (available on Amazon and Ebay).
Since those are not available in Europe and shipping costs are way too high, I now found an alternative from Speedlink. Hopefully this one will work just as good as the original N5 USB cable.
I am using PowerGen 2.1A car charger with 3' Samsung OEM usb cable and able to charge the phone while using Navigation, brightness at full, and streaming tune-in on LTE. Very happy with the setup.
I had a monoprice 10' usb cable, the thick version with cap on ends, the 3' samsung oeum usb cable works much better. Testing on my old phone Optimus G Pro, there are about +200mA improvement using the 3' samsung oem usb cable over the monoprice 10' usb cable. so make sure to use the shortest usb cable possible.

Great thought
This is really a great thought.
Belkin and Anker cables recommended
My experience with Type-A to Type-C cables with my Nexus 5X:
I initially tried a 1m Bestek cable which was very inconsistent for charging and got returned. My suspicion is that it didn't meet the Type-C resistor spec.
I have had good experiences with a 1.8m Belkin cable (but v. expensive) and several 1m Anker cables (mid-price).
I ordered the revised Orzly cable last night from Amazon (the individual one, not the 4 pack - don't need that many right now). I know the Pixel C comes with a charging cable, but I wasn't sure if the power adapter was removable to use for data transfer. Either way, it'll be nice to have the extra cable as I'll keep the power one plugged in by my bedside and keep the other one with the other USB cables by my computer.
I'm thinking about getting this:
http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digi...d=1449677741&sr=8-2&keywords=Kingston+DTDUO3C
I already have a OTG cable that I bought for my Nexus 6P but this looks like it would be pretty handy on the go. Does anyone have any experience with this storage stick?
Got my Pixel C today (in UK) and can confirm the charger doesn't have a cable that removes :-\
Update 11/12 got a type c to c and type c to a data/charging cable today, the c to c works fine and the data transfer speeds are ace, approx. 30 secs per 1gb of data from pc to laptop on a usb 3.1 port and around 40 secs per 1gb the other way, this is the cable I got: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B014P2DBJA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
I also bought an A to C cable too, this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B011TH8BB2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 and no joy at all geting it to work as a data cable, tried using every type A port (usb 2 & 3) on my gaming pc and on a work laptop too, the Pixel shows as if it is charging for a split second then nothing. Tried to same cable with a numerous wall socket/chargers and same behaviour, so faulty/non-compatible cable I guess. Anyone have a link to a working type A to C cable (UK) please ?

I can confirm the Bestek A to C cables don't work well. See my post above for UK A to C cables. Belkin is pricey but excellent, Anker is mid-price.
Search for Benson Leung on amazon.com. He has tested many USB C cables.

Sorry missed your link before, I ended up with this Orzly one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B018F8BDFE only had the red one in stock! lol But to be fair it will stop me getting it mixed up with an old/standard one! Works great for both data and charging (using a wall socket with type a or via pc).
I have the red Orzly too, it smells like a chewing gum, from an outdoor vending machine. The tool CheckR told me that this one is not recommended using with the Pixel.
As I initially bought it for my 1+2 phone, I can't blame me too much in that case.
Can I use inbox typc c to type a USB + female USB a couples as a otg ? Will the type c resistor suits this config ?
If you are in Australia, I picked up one of these Belkin cables from JB HiFi, very expensive but been spot on for both data and charging the device

Play it safe and don't spend a lot of money. I recommend this USB A to C cable from Belkin F2CU032BT06, comes in various colors and it is USB-IF certified..
Can be bought for about $10 shipped http://www.ebay.com/itm/Belkin-MIXIT...W/322397095951
I also own this 6 pack and they have worked well with my Pixel XL and the Pixel C https://www.amazon.com/1-6ftx1-3-3ftx4-6-6ftx1-Hi-speed-ChromeBook/dp/B01MG36MBZ
I just ordered some of these https://www.amazon.com/CHOETECH-1x1-6ft-4x3-3ft-1x6-6ft-OnePlus/dp/B01N4E9AN6 and https://www.amazon.com/Cable-CHOETECH-Packs-3-3ft-Braided/dp/B01LX8GCZ5
Listed in this deal alert http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...-type-c-cable-multi-packs-sale-amazon-35-off/
Got in my Choetech 3pack and 6pack USB A to Type-C today. Man great sturdy build same as the C-C version. The braided is so nice, and transfer speeds on both cables are whopping fast! Good charging, tested several different brand OEM chargers. I ordered these after seeing they were on sale again on a slickdeals post and though I'd take advantage.
UPDATE: using the USB Device Tree Viewer application on Windows 10 I am able to see this cable is able to negotiate SuperSpeed on my ASUS Z97-A. Dirty testing transferring a 1GB zip file from the PIXEL C to my Samsung EVO 120 SSD it takes roughly 20 secs to complete. By comparison it takes twice as long in Highspeed USB ports roughly 42 secs to complete the same test. Similar results as my Belkin 3.1 ss10 cable.
I recently received a CHOETECH USB A-C Cable with Current Voltage Monitor for review and I have got to say its come in really handy so far.
I've always wondered just how much current I was getting from my many chargers that all claimed to be up to 2.4A. I know from there various different charge times that they weren't all providing what they marketed at. This tool has come in really handy for helping me weed out the good chargers from the bad.
Before anyone comments that this cable wont allow my nexus 6p to charge at the 3A that it is capable of I know this already, but this cable has allowed me to test me standard USB-A port powerbanks and car chargers that I still use with USB A-C cables. I know USB-C equivalents are available but I don't see the point in replacing my old chargers for the benefit of 600mA.
The CHOETECH cable comes in a nicely presented package that gives basic info about the product.
The cable is neatly coiled up using rubber bands to keep it safe in transit and the instructions that come with it are both clear and concise.
Using that cable is as easy as just plugging it in and it works straight away, alternating between voltage and current.
I found this cable to be alot more accurate than apps that I have tried to use in the past giving me results that I would expect to see from the charging device I was using.
Usings a mains adapter gave me the best charging current while a cheap nasty car charger gave me very poor current but I suspected this from my charge times. Apps I had used in the past gave me very unreliable results so I am glad I've bow got this cable.
I'll definitely get my use out of this.
On a side note, even without the volt/ammeter this is still a very good quality charging cable and it doesn't interfere with data transfers. I would definitely recommend to anyone interested.
If anyone in the UK is interested in one if these cables or the Micro USB equivalent I've got some discount codes that reduce the price down to £6 which is a bargain for these cables.

Great stuff, thanks for the post faybarn. I just bought one of their USB-A to USB-C cables (without current / voltage monitor though).
is there any other options on this that's available to ebay or aliexpress???
Hi everyone!
I just recently got a 3rd party refurbished U11 to tinker with as I really missed Android. I loved it, but the USB-C charging port seemingly "fried" days after using it in the middle of a charging session. I noticed the port and included USB-C to A cable were very hot. This cable and accompanying "quick charging" adapter were a cheap wholesale combo that were included with the phone, not OEM charger equipment.
I got a replacement from the seller and everything has been smooth since, but I highly suspect the questionable charger and cable for the damage from the first round. I haven't used the included quick charger yet and have instead been alternating between my buddy's MacBook Pro USB-C charger (fantastic, btw, really long cable and amazing charge time), and an Amazon Basics USB-C to A 2.0 cable in conjunction with an OEM Samsung adaptive quick charge adapter (adequate and seems promising).
What I'm wondering, though, is:
A). Am I crazy for thinking that cheap charger fried the first phone?
B). If it is indeed plausible, will the Amazon Basics cable I'm using be safe and reliable in the long run? I've done some research regarding USB-C cables, safe and standard resistance in compliant cables, and quick charge in general, but I'm having trouble coming to a conclusion.
Attached is an image of some charging information from when my phone was plugged into the Samsung adapter via the Amazon cable. If anyone could give me some insight I would be greatly appreciative. I love this phone and want to make sure I'm not doing anything that could potentially damage it.
