I'm a Nexus 6p user but looking for a good alternative for the supplied power cable and brick. I've looked on the One Plus site and I can find the cable, but not the wall portion (USB-C). Am I missing something here? The only brick is for the One Plus One...
Thanks
That cable is usb-c just on one end, the second is just reversible usb-a (I think) that goes to normal USB port.
Exactly, use any previous charger "brick" that can supply 2A

anyone ever come across any longer than average account chargers? been trying to find one on the net with no luck. I know I can use a account adapter with a usb port and get a longer micro usb cable but I dont like the thickness and weight of normal usb cables.
Go to amazon and buy a micro-usb sync cable. I got one of those that was like 15feet and plugged it into the wall charger adapter thing that came with the phone
So since Quick Charge 3 isn't technically spec for USB C, none of the Benson Leung cables will ~actually~ charge at full Quick Charge speed, correct? Is there a consensus on the best quality cable that will charge at full speed, preferably USB 3.0/3.1? It looks like a lot of the cables with the 56k ohm resistor in it don't hit QC3 speed and I just don't want to fry my phone.
What's wrong with the cable that comes with the phone?
The one for the nexus 6p is the best I've used. I've used the lg G5 one but not the one that it comes with
The best cable is the one that comes with the phone...

The problem with the one that comes with the phone is it's only USB 2.0 I believe, and they're $20 cables. There's got to be better cables out there than that that are USB 3.0.
Here is the list with verified USB3.0 to type c cables.

Hi all,
I just have some clarification questions regarding the chaos that is currently USB-C. Will ANY USB-C with PD support charge any other USB-C phone, tablet, or laptop if those devices support PD? Do we need to ensure that the charger used supports specific charging voltages, or will any of them work at different charge rates?
I bought a 2017 HP Spectre x360 13" a few months ago. (SIDE NOTE: If you're looking, this is an amazing convertible Ultrabook... 4k screen w/ Pen, Core i7, 512GB NVMe SSD, 16GB RAM, Thunderbolt3). It charges via a 45W USB-C charger. I generally have laptop chargers everywhere, so I ordered a bulk of Dell LA45NM150 chargers from eBay. They say 5V/20V on the sticker. Should these also charge my Galaxy S8, which charges at 5V and 9V? Do chargers need to say Power Delivery or PD to meet PD spec, or does that come along with having multiple voltages.
Likewise, I am guessing my laptop NEEDS 20V to charge? So if I took say, a phone charger and plugged it into the laptop, would it just not charge since it can't switch to 20V?
I am also speculating that if a USB-C charger only says 20V on the sticker, will it fry a Galaxy S8? Or is there protection for this sort of thing?
I am no newbie to power, chargers, electronics, tech.. but there's a lot of gray area right now on this stuff it seems.
Anyone?

Also, another related question -- Is there any advantage to using a USB-C to USB-C charging cable and brick vs a USB-C to USB-A cable with a brick?

USB-C to USB-C supports ThunderBolt 3 and USB 3.1. So faster data transfer and charging... USB-A does not support this... I think....

So then, why put a USB-C port on a wall charger? Just so you can use the same USB-C to USB-C cable?

Yeah I guess so... USB-C will be universal soon enough anyway so this will no longer be a worry haha!
Hi all,
I need a new USB cable for Android Auto in my car. Having some problems and want to start by ruling out the cables as a problem. (Pioneer have told me the cable included is not usb-C certified). It needs to be plugged into the back of the Pioneer unit which involes removing half of my car interior, so I want to buy a good cable and not have to do this again any time soon!
So it needs a 'male' end to go into the back of the unit, and a 'female' end which sticks out of my glovebox permanently. Then I'll need a second cable (a usb-a to usb-c to attach the pixel.)
Having seen all the news about dodgy cables and Benson Leung (Spelling?) approved cables I confess I'm more confused than I've ever been. Plus the options seems less with the male to female cable and I can't find any recent online reccomendations.
Can someone either tell me what I need to look for, or preferably, link me to a high quality male to female cable on Amazon UK? and of course one that's certified and will play nice with the USB-C device (my first gen pixel) that's gonna be plugged into the other end.
Getting the other cable is less of a problem, there seem to be plenty of lists online for recommended high quality usb-a to usb-c cables.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I can use none google usb cable to charge pixel6pro but I cannot charge oneplus8pro by google usb cable.
Is there any secret on google usb cable ? Will it is clue to brick pixel6pro if using none google usb cable ?
You can use any quality cable. The only other brand other than an OEM cable that I trust is Anker, although I've gotten lucky with some (now discontinued) random name brands.

It is the OnePlus cable isn't a standard USB cable it is a propitiatory standard, that said any good quality cable should still charge the OnePlus phone but only at 15W (if memory serves).
Anker all the way for me as well, i cannot remember the last time i used the cable that came with a phone.
As mentioned by @MrBelter it's the OnePlus cable that's the issue.
I've had this cable for about 4 years (see link), and used it on the Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 4 XL, and Samsung Galaxy S21 with no issues...still using the same came on my P6P.

OnePlus either uses firmware within the USB connector, or a specific resistance value to determine if the cable is an OP cable and it's likely they do so to limit legal liability from users who unintentionally try to push 3A - 5A through a cable not designed to handle current that high.
Folks have unintentionally used shoddy USB cables to charge a smartphone that resulted in the death of the user.
When folks speak about a "quality" cable, it's referring to the wire gauge of the cable, as it's the gauge of the wire that dictates how much current can safely pass through the wire without causing it to overheat from the high resistance caused by pushing more current through the cable than the cable is designed to carry.
A quality manufacturer will list the gauge of the wires within a USB cable and if a listing doesn't have the wire gauge listed, my rule of thumb is it can handle no more than 10W (5V @ 2A). MonoPrice is a well known manufacturer of quality cables and they lifetime guarantee all their cables with a no-hassle lifetime warranty.
