hey guys
i had a nexus 6 and have a bunch of QC 2.0 chargers
now that i have a 6P, can i still use the wall adapters and plug in a full size usb to usb 3 cable into the wall adapter?
does the wattage of the adapter work? or should i look to buy a new one with a usb c port
thanks
It'll charge, but not at full speed since the 6p isn't QC certified. You'll have to get usb-c chargers that can deliver 5v/3a
whats the best charger i can get on amazon? not just cable
I use this one:
http://www.amazon.com/SONEic-Type-C-Charger-Devices-Included/dp/B017BVLLC6
It's identical OEM charger that shipped with the 6p/5x, just rebranded.
so thats the same price as https://store.google.com/product/usb_c_charger darn... nothing cheaper on amazon!
Awesome thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. Because I didn't like the ones in the Google store. I wanted another of what it shipped with.

Nexus 6P original adapter charging vs. third-party chargers charging
Hi, here are some points for Nexus 6P charging and Quick Charge 2.0:
1. Nexus 6P doesn't support Quick Charge 2.0/3.0, but its original adapter supports 5V/3A charging, actually the speed is even faster than Quick Charge 2.0 18W maximum power (6P original adapter charging efficiency is better than Quick Charge 2.0)
2. Mainstream Quick Charge 2.0 port is USB-A port, you can use a USB-A to USB-C cable to charge your Nexus 6P. But be sure to use the qualified cable, you should choose the USB-A to USB-C cable with 56K Rp, about how to choose type-c cable, you can refer to Google engineer Benson, he reviewed nearly all the type-c cables on market, see https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung
3. Original Nexus 6P original adapter is with female Type-C port and a type-c to type-c cable, so you'd choose similar format third-party chargers. I found some female type-c charger adapter is also with Quick Charge 3.0.
4. Here there is a Nexus 6P charging analysis http://www.tronsmart.com/nexus-6p-charging-analysis by Tronsmart, although it seems an ads by Tronsmart, it offer some important info about Nexus 6P charging, maybe it is useful for you.
That is what I know, any question or opinion, let's discuss.

You happen to know if there is an EU plug available for this charger? I can't seem to find anything other than US plug.
I use this Anker multi port charger, it has a native USB C port, plus 4 regular USB ports. With a total of 40W, I can charge a lot of things at the same time, and it's the best solution for travel. The cable is detachable, so you should be able to find a European AC cable for it

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.
I was wondering if all the Nexus 6p chargers I got were the same.... From what I understand, the Pixel XL is QC 3.0 compatible which is 9v/2a = 18w, while Nexus 6p chargers are 3v/5a which is 15w.
Would it be better to use QC3.0 chargers instead of the same ones used on the Nexus 6p?
I wish we had some clear answers on all his T_T
The pixel is not QC compliant. While the amperage and the Volt's might be compatible it charges a little different. QC 3.0 is a Qualcomm thing. I can't explain the details but I know they are different.

The pixel does not have Qualcomm 3.0 compatibility even though it does have the hardware capability
Instead uses the USB C standard with power delivery.
In other words for a charger to Supply the maximum of 18 Watts to a pixel XL it needs to be PD power delivery compatible.
Otherwise it will use standard charging capabilities up to 5 volts 2.4 amps with proper cable
Thanks! I was asking because I saw this info come out today that the Pixel is capable of only 15w charging while the Pixel XL is capable of 18w. Does that mean if I am using my old Nexus 6p chargers, I am getting a slower charging speed than if I were using the charger that came with the Pixel XL in the box?

Correct
Unless your old Nexus 6p Chargers are compatible with PD Power delivery they will act and charge like standard dumb Chargers
The new mac book 12", pixel c and a few other devices used the same PD Power delivery their charges should be 100% compatible with pixel XL
Hmm so my Nexus 6p charger shows rapid charging, when plugged into my PXL

5v 2.4A 12w and or 5v 3A 12w / 15w is "fast / rapid"
What does the app Ampere report? Mind installing and taking a screenshot?
How about the other way around, how would a Pixel charger affect the Nexus 6P? Is it fine to charge for several minutes?
I used my Pixel charger to charge my Nexus 6P from about 40% to 100% and it showed rapid charging. Took about the same time it would take for my 6P to charge on it's factory charger. Haven't tried the other way around yet but I'll try it and see how it goes.

Hey all, just acquired my new Pixel XL. It's my first USB-c device so need to get some new cables... I was looking at USB-c car chargers on Amazon but not seeing any rave reviews on much. Do you all have any recommendations? Is there a certain standard of charger that is best for the Pixel (I.e. quick charge 2.0 or 3.0 etc)?
Thanks everyone for your input

The pixels use usb-pd and not quick charge 2.0 or 3.0. Currently, there is not a lot of great options. there are a few threads taking about it in this forum.

Shout out to @Nathan-K and Benson. I've spent hours reading their G+ pages and Amazon reviews and I'm blown away by the work they're doing trying to hold manufacturers accountable and keep consumers safe.
Tl;dr - most are junk currently, and some are even dangerous. 1 specific Verizon version for usb-c pd (TYPECPDVPC ONLY!) is the most acceptable one.
Sent from my Pixel XL
Check out this spreadsheet it has chargers on it and one is type car. There are no perfect PD chargers at the moment (18W) AUKEYCC-Y7 and Verizon 27w TYPECPDVPC are the least bad. It is probably best to take the 3W hit at the moment and go for a 15W non PD car charger like the Belkin 15w F7U005bt04-BLK or Nomad B015NN0OKO. Personally I have gone for the AUKEYCC-Y7 PD charger as although not perfect it is at least cheap.
Bear in mind that some chargers come with a fixed USB-C charging cable. Ones that are cable less will need a decent cable as well. Decent ones cost as much as the chargers. So given the current price I recommend going for the Belkin 15W charger with built in cable

None of the USB-C chargers are anywhere near good.

So there's no issue using an old micro USB charging cable? I planned on using my old ones and I purchased a 2 pack of USB-C to Micro USB adapters from Amazon. Can't seem to get clarification about the micro USB chargers..
I have no clue with micro > C adapters. The OEM A>C cable works great and make sure any 3rd party A > C cables should have the required 56kΩ resistor.
I am using a few of these from Anker on an old .5a Moto charger, older Anker car charger and an extra thrown in my work bag.

Of course there is an issue, you need to use either use a micro to c adapter with a 56k ohm pull-up resistor in it or a an approved a to c cable that also has a 56k ohm pull-up resistor.
EDIT: make sure you bookmark that google spreadsheet and check it for up to date~ info.

That visnic is no longer even on the spreadsheet
I got the v3 CCTA from tronsmart and returned it, the pixel sees it as a device when you unplug and plug it into 12v with car turned off/not powering socket..
The 27w Belkin is now considered bad after further testing has shown it to allow the pixel to backfeed power.
Oh, all Belkins are now in the bad -2 recommendation..

A Micro to usb type c adapter didnt come with the phone. You can use the USB A to C cable that came with the phone with legacy chargers.
Has anyone plugged their pixel into an "old" charger and actually had an issue? I see lots of people going crazy about chargers and also see lots of people that use any old charger they have with a cheap adapter and they have no issue.

I use my old charger with the oem a to c cable and my old a to micro cable with a micro to c adapter that has the 56k ohm resistor just fine, it's just slower than max, but no big deal. hardly ever have to use it, but have it just in case.
I have been using an old Anker pre QC charger and it has been working fine.
I haven't tried the QC3 charger in my wife's car yet.
For now the A>C cables with the 56 ohm resistor is the safe way to go.

Plus one. Have this and love it.
I use this one I bought off Amazon. Been using it for a while. Never had any problems with it. Rapidly charges my pixel and you can charge 2 items at the same time. Check it out for yourself.
Belkin
The Belkin 15 watt used to be recommended as it was the charger for the 6p. I have used it with the 6p and now the Pixel. Not sure why it went from 2 to -1. Obviously it does not do PD with the Pixel, but I cannot see it doing harm. Same is true for the Google 6p wall charger. I sue that with the Pixel also. Any thoughts?

I would guess the change is for charging as noted. There are some further comments about a lack of IR drop compensation circuitry in the Google+ information below. I view the list as simply somewhat subjective opinions from an engineer, and like you said, I couldn't find comments in Google+ to suggest the Belkin you're talking about might pose a threat to a phone. My previous Razr M would tend to lose power when charging and using navigation, so I may just keep the Belkin PD model and see what happens with a replacement, in spite of the current -2 in the list.

Hi all, just ordered a Pixel XL to replace my 4 core failing Nexus 6P. I have no idea what kind of charger is coming with it, and even if its OEM, I'd like to have 2. I have read many threads about the non PD compliant chargers not providing rapid charge, and am wondering what the consensus is on using a Nintendo Switch charger? My local Best buy has the official Google Pixel XL charger for $34.99, and the official Switch AC adapter is $10 less. Has anyone tried this, or have any thoughts on using this? With all the stories about nonPD if I have to, I'll just get the official google one, but was wondering if this was an option.
Thank you!
The Pixel XL comes with a USB-C charger and a USB-A to USB-C cable, so any standard USB-A rapid charger will work.

Thanks for the reply. I was under the impression from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/accessories/usb-c-pd-chargers-google-pixel-xl-t3474205
that only certain chargers provide fast charge. I did not buy the phone new so I don't know if it comes with the standard google charger or not.
belkin type c rapid charger should be available for cheap at your local walmart/target/best buy. pretty good quality cable for the price.
My switch charger ended up damaging the port after continued use. I recommend saving up for the official one
Tried many chargers, only the original Google ones seem to charge at rapid charging speed. Oh Belkin car charger ones does as well.
I tried a NS charger (HAC-002 USZ) on a Pixel XL a day ago and it worked fine and did rapid charging.
Mine didn't come with a charger (bought off eBay). I bought a so called fast charger (can't remember brand but it looked legit Qualcomm fast charge capable) and it says it's fast charging but it takes about twice as long to charge as my old OnePlus 5 did.
