I'm honestly not sure where to post this so please lmk if this is the wrong place.
Short: I bought 6 cables from two companies (4 cables from Syncwire and 2 from Paracable) and all 6 cables do not charge my phone and have PC connection issues.
Long: My phone is a Sony Xperia XZ1, I'm using the default charger (Sony UCH20W), and the cables I bought were this Syncwire cable and this Paracable cables. All 6 cables shared the same issues and I'm not sure why. When I use my Sony charger, the cable does not charge my phone. I tested this with my Dad's Huawei Mate 20 Pro as well and no charge was detected. However, it should be noted that non Quick Charge chargers do work. The cables work with my Anker power bank, my old htc standard charger, as well as an Apple 12W charger. The other issue is with PC connection. If I plug my phone into any PC, it will charge the phone, but that's it. For my PC specifically, it will detect my phone as a device, however, the second I try to move a file, it will either instantly disconnect and then reconnect (after Windows cancels the file transfer), or the file transfer is very slow and eventually fails. I tried this with my Dad's computer and this other spare computer and both of those computers failed to even recognize my phone as a device. The same goes for the Huawei, can't transfer files on my PC and fails to be detected as a device with the other two PCs.
Why is this exactly happening? Does it have something to do with the fact that those 6 cables use a 56k ohm pull-up resistor? I feel like that doesn't make any sense, but at the same time, I have 2 other USB c cables that do work. The stock Sony cable and this other syncwire cable (USB 3, did not advertise to include a 56k ohm resistor). I've emailed Syncwire and Paracable, and both responded with the cables are made to USB C 3.0 spec and that they should work. I find it hard to believe that I got 6 DOA cables. Any ideas is appreciated. Thanks!

Have you checked to see if those cables have the same pinout order as the cables that do work? Also, some cables have fewer pins than others, such as cables meant for digital cameras.

I don't have a pinout diagram for any of these cables so I can't confirm 100%, however, for both the USB A and C side, they look identical in terms of pins and design. I do have links to the cables above and the syncwire one specifically advertises that it's for phones quote "supports Sony Xperia XZ/XZ premium/XZ1/XA1/X Compact and other USB C devices" and all the other USB C features like "supports currents up to 3a and transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps." Judging by the description and user reviews, I feel like it's safe to say that it supposedly supports Quick Charge and file transfers. The paracable site doesn't say it explicitly, however, email support, they said that the cables "are made to USB-C specifications." Again, the paracable support their 18W Dual QuickCharger so I would assume this would at least work with a Quick Charge 3 charger. Their USB C to USB C 3.1 states that it can "Charge up to 60W (20V/3A)" and "Transfer speeds of up to 5gbps," I don't see any other differences other than the connector and my cable being USB 3.0 vs 3.1, so again, I would assume this cable supports file transfers.

I guess there's no real way of telling unless if I take the cable apart (which wouldn't work as I will most likely need to return and refund it).

As the cable is too short, I attached an extension cable.
However, now it does not charge. If i connect the short cable that came with the Transformer, it charges fine. Any suggestion?
The TF101 "short cable" as you call it, is a USB3 cable, what has +5 pins inside. One of these pins control the 15V charging (the tablet takes 15V from the charger instead of the usual 5V USB), if it can not send the signal through, it won't charge. You need a USB3 extension cable what's pretty expensive though.
Get this one or a similar one. As you can see, 2 reviewers vouch that this cable works.

Got on of this USB 3 cable while at HK and work without any problem.
Thank you guys. Will be purchasing one. I am guessing Belkin F7C008QAF Conserve Valet USB Charging Station - Energy Saving wont be working with this :/
That is correct, because the transformer looks for termination of one of the usb 3 pins, if you plug it into a usb 2.0 or lower extension/hub it just wont work. You must have a usb 3 extension/hub, or, there are many DIY chargers that are probably cheaper than a usb 3 extension cable and definately cheaper than a usb 3 hub.
Even a usb 3.0 hub or charging station will not charge it. Usb does not provide the voltage required. Only the outlet adapter will work

I am very bothered by the LIES we have been sold, specifically, buying USB cables which advertise USB Type-C Specifications, and then it turns out they are not USB Type-C Specifications.
Look at this review by Google Software Engineer, telling us about these Fake USB Type-C cables that many of us have purchased.

@slickromeo
One+ cables are deliberately not following USB Type-C standards.
(As far as I'm aware) they are configured to work optimally with One+ products.
I have multimeter. Where exactly would one test to see if the resistor used in 56 kΩ?
I'd imagine one would have to cut open the connector and visually verify the existence of the resistor. I think there would be too much variables involved to just connect the multimeter to a couple of pins, but I could be wrong.
EDIT: NVM
Benson Leung1:30 PM
+Eric Hawkins Unfortunately since USB Type-C is such a new standard, at this point you sort of need some specialized equipment. I've been using this, which is publicly available on Amazon as well : https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/twinkie
If you have a Chromebook Pixel 2015 in dev mode, there's some simple terminal commands I can share that can verify if a cable is good or bad.
I'm going to work on seeing if there's anything I can do on the Android side as well, maybe a battery charging statistics app.

I'm confused on the One Plus cables - they say they are 2A cables on their website, not 3A. So if they are only pulling 2A and im using 1.8A blackberry charger, how is that harmful to my phone? I guess in other words, how can I still use the One Plus cable with a charger safely?
I have these cables http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...cm_cd_asin_lnk and I did not get the charging rapidy . Not sure if these work I will try again tonight or tomorrow.

Hey guys I'm in the process of setting up a store specific to Type-C products (type-c.io - not up yet). I'm in talks with supplies from Asia about getting the correct cables and was wondering what would you guys pay for cables shipped from North America?
@xray49er when you say you got the cable listed at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010VFFU1W/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk and it did not rapid charge your Nexus 6P, where you using the stock charger included with your Nexus 6P ?

Edit #2, I Purchased a 5V/3A car charger that only charged at 1.7amps (false advertising), are you certain that the charger you purchased is truly 5V/3A? test multiple cables, together with the GSam Battery Monitor app to see how many amps its charging
@slickromeo No because this is a usb A to C cable so I used a fast charging chrager that was 5v/3a. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0122P71FC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
All the cables in question are designed like the OnePlus USB-C cables, Basically if your using a device that doesn't charge at 3A you have nothing to worry about
Anyone tried the cable matters ones?
They have a usb 3 to usb type c cable

Hi guys, I'm looking at these cables.
It has a data sheet, is it possible to tell by this whether its in spec?
Everyone, once again, remember that there's NO WAY to tell if the USB A-C cable is compliant by just plugging it in.
It's pretty complex.
The Google Engineer wrote how to do it: https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung/posts/jGP5249NppF
I bought these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S8GU544?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01
I have no issues with them...And the guy from Google didn't review them. They also seem to be on the "compatibility list", based on the description of the item at least.
I've been playing around with the Android App Ampere - I'm wondering if it might be possible to identify bad cables based on the charging rate - based on this post, they should be 2A, not 3A. If you compare the power usage before and during charging, you can deduce the charging rate.
On another note - I'm putting together a database of usb-c compliant cables here to help people find compliant usb cables. I'm primarily focusing on usb-a to usb-c cables as that's where the biggest issues appear to exist. Right now the listings are based on Benson's reviews, but I'm planning to expand it to include additional cables once I find an accurate way to test cables.
I bought these awhile back:

You got your links messed up. FRiEQ links to Belin and vice versa.
It lists "USB Fast Charging @ 5V 3A" in the description, so it's unlikely to pass by Benson Leung's assertions that cables that list 3 amp charging speed typically don't adhere to the spec.
My phone should be here shortly, I was going to get the PECHAM 6.6 feet cable thats on amazon but there are reviews saying it doesnt work with the fast charging even though specs would lead you to believe it could
Anyone know of a type c to type c cable of at least 6 feet or more that works for fast charging?
It doesn't
As an owner of that cable, I can verify that while it works with the AC adapter that comes with the 6p, it does not work connected to the USB-C port on my PC's motherboard. The factory cable does work through the PC.

Oddly yes, I just ran upstairs and confirmed it. It clearly says "Charging Rapidly" with this cable and the OEM AC Adapter. Yet it doesn't recognize it at all hooked to the pc. Yet when I use the OEM C-C cable that came with it, it works in both. Very odd.

Anyone else with cable suggestions?
I just returned that cable. Even with Type-C to Type-C cables we are seeing some trashy ones. That one and Cable Matters' one don't charge as fast as the stock one, but considerably slower. I have tested them with Battery Monitor Widget, which logs the battery changes (i.e. gives you a log of the timestamp and the battery %), which is far more accurate than calculating with an amperage measuring app. These apps can only extrapolate based on other things, and can be very inaccurate depending on the device. Some reviewers praise the construction, but I didn't find it all that good. It was stiff, not like an actual cable made of strands, but like one thick wire, it kind of kept its shape when you bent it, very inflexible.
BTW, the monoprice ones seem high quality. I ordered this one. I haven't gotten it yet, but I think they're pretty trustworthy. If you believe their video here they say those connectors without the seam on one side allow for faster speed, though I wouldn't know why. The USB 3.1 cable seems to be much more expensive cause it has a chip to support 3.1 speeds.
Hi,
I ordered an additional USB-C cable off Amazon: Anker Usb-C to Usb3.0 to have a spare charging / data cable.
So, the first cable that arrived fit into the phone but slipped out at the slightest touch. Additionally, my PC did not recognize the MI4C in any useful way (no MTP, no MI PC Suite) - both work instantly with the original cable.
After contacting Anker support, they said the cable is faulty and immediately sent me a replacement.
The second cable fit into the phone much nicer. It sort of snaps into the socket like it should.
However, my PC still does not recognize it..
Charging seems to work with both cables.. .at least the phone detects that it gets power.
I'm puzzled now.. what is wrong with the phone and/or the cable?
Is the MI4C using some special standard that the cable doesn't support?
Which cables work?
Thanks
Jo
Hey Jo, i use the Anker USB C to USB 3.0 and it works fine withe the Mi-4c and the PC, no problems at all...

"Leung adds that this won't have an affect on the OnePlus 2 itself as the handset doesn't support Type-C fast charging, and that the warning is more for owners of the Type-C compliant Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, and Chromebook Pixel." from theverge . com
If you have Nexus or Chromebook with USB Type-C - don't charge him with Mi4C cable
Does anyone know about a good micro-usb to usb-c converter with an 56k ohm resistor?
i use the Anker and its working fine for me - you may buy one of this list rated with 5 stars
Any cable that is approved for Nexus 5X is good for the 4C?
Any USB Typ c "compliant to the Norm" cable will be OK. So i would say yes. But its not a issue if you use a non compliant cable only with mi4c. This will work because our phone throttles the current when being charged with 5V. But if you use it with other equipment later a non compliant cable may damage USB hubs, Laptops USB ports or PSUs. I will Not take this risk and would buy a compliant cable.

The cable we that came with our MI4c phone can only be used with the MI4c phone - and might damage chargers, laptops etc. if we try to charge a "normal" USB-C compatible device (like the Nexus 5X phone) with this cable. Right?
However, using a standard, normal USB-C cable, like the Anker one mentioned earlier in this thread with work with MI4c phones and any other "normal" USB-C compatible device. Right?
I just want to be clear, and not fry anything that doesn't need to be fried, if you understand...

As I understand it, its only when 'Charging' devices that the cables you are using becomes important.
Real Type-C devices are USB 3.0 and can draw a lot more power than USB 2.0 devices.. So their cables need a higher rated resistor to protect your devices.
The Mi4C is a USB 2.0 Device with a Type-C connector, hence any cable should be fine as USB 3.0 is backward compatible. But if you use the Mi4C Type-C cable to try and charge a Nexus 6, Lumia 950, Pixel or Mac Book it could fail and damage your device.
I guess that explains why it would barely charge when left connected to my laptop.

Same here. I'm confused because there are many unknown brands and the price range is wide.
So my phone came with the UCH12 charger and a usb C 3.1 cable, 1st gen i believe.
The adapter says it supports quickcharge 3.0, so can I use quickcharge? I read online that only the UCH12W can do quickcharge but I don't undersand why. What's the difference? My usb cable is a UCB20 model.
Can someone explain to me if I need the UCH12W adaptor and a different cable or something, or I just need a different cable with the current adapter?
According to my adapter it can output: 5 V/2700 mA, 9 V/1800 mA, 12 V/1350 mA, and according to the xperia.com page of the UCH12W that also outputs this exact same amount of power. So what's the difference and why doesn't quickcharge seem to work for me?

As I understand it (and hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong), the only difference is the cable. I read in one of the other threads that the cable that comes with the XZP doesn't support quick charge but the cable that comes with the UCH12W does support it. I'm guessing this is due to a wiring difference in the cables. I got the UCH12W on eBay and my XZP quick charges without issue, but I haven't tested this with the cable that came with the phone. I'll give it a go when I get home and see if this is true.
Long story short, I think the UCH12 doesn't come with a cable while the UCH12W does. Other than that, I'm pretty sure they're both the same charger.

Thx! Can you tell me, what model your usb cable is? It's on the little white leaflet thing, if it has one. So in theory, I only need a specific cable to do quickcharge?
So my cable that came with the phone is a UCB20 model, on the xperia site, I can see models like the UCB30 and UCB32. UCB32 won't do as that is a usb c - c cable, the adapter has an A connector first, so that's not gonna work. But the UCB30 is supposedly 2nd gen usb 3.1 type c cable. And it can support higher power flow. Could it be that the UCH12W comes with a cable like this? I didn't want to buy the cable because my the XZP only has a 1st gen usb c slot, so I wouldn't benefit from the 2nd gen speed at all. But maybe power would work.

UCB32 won't do as that is a usb c - c cable, the adapter has an A connector first, so that's not gonna work. But the UCB30 is supposedly 2nd gen usb 3.1 type c cable. And it can support higher power flow. Could it be that the UCH12W comes with a cable like this? I didn't want to buy the cable because my the XZP only has a 1st gen usb c slot, so I wouldn't benefit from the 2nd gen speed at all. But maybe power would work.

The cable that came with my charger is UCB20 and quick charge does appear to work with this cable, so if you have that one, it should be just fine.

I have downloaded an app called Ampere, it can relatively measure the ampere of battery charge and discharge. When i'm home in the weekend, I'll check with a portable battery, my old Z3 Compact adapter, and my current adapter. If nothing else my current one should shlw the highest amperage of the three. But I'm not sure my phone uses quickcharge. Because I don't experience the magic of putting my phone charging, me coming back in 30 minutes and I should see amazing results.
