I've been using Android N since they started the developer opt in (not flashed, not rooted) and today I noticed that neither my Pixel or my 6P say fast charging today. I'm using the original chargers and cables that came with them. I have not tested the charging speeds with an app. Before I do this I just wanted to check if anyone else team into this issue?

Seems to be working on both my, conicidentally, Pixel C and 6P
my pixel C never fast charged with the original charger. I didn't even know this feature existed.
I have 6.0.1 non-rooted.

Hi all I just got my Pixel XL but didn't come with the charger. I just wanted to ask if the Galaxy S7 edge fast charger is compatible with the Pixel? I do get the rapid charge message when charging but wanted to know if the charging speed is the same as the original Pixel charger?
Thanks in advanced..

I am currently using s7 edge charger. I have no problems with fast charging. I think phones kernel tell's charger to draw specific amount of current. So i think you should be able to use it safely. To answer your question, it should be very similar to pixel charger.
I use whatever charger I have in the house but only a couple will rapid charge. My Asus chromebook's usb-c charger will rapid charge it. That is super nice since I travel a lot I only need the one charger.

I agree with the guys here. I have used my Note 7s fast charger as well as the charger for my kids switch without issue.

Thank you.. Yet for some reason I still feel like it's not charging as fast as it's advertised with the stock charger. ? maybe I'm comparing with the OnePlus 3T, that was the fastest I seen.

I don't think the charger speed competes with my old Note 5 or 7 with the stock charger.
I've also noticed my USB 3 ports on my computer seem to be as fast or a little faster than the stock charger.
Does anyone know if I can use my old Nexus 5x charger? I was reading on a few threads that the OG pixels did not work with the Nexus chargers and wanted to see if that held true with the pixel 2.
Thanks!

Don't know why a PD charger wouldn't work on the Pixel or Pixel 2. They may be lower wattage but might not charge as fast.

FWIW I've got a dozen miscellaneous USB-C chargers kicking around and they've all worked fine on the Pixel 2. These include what Google was selling initially with the Nexus 6P and the separate 3A chargers which were available via the Google Store at the time.
I haven't found any charger or cord around here that won't work. So far nothing has blown up. That's always nice.
Yes

Yes, the Nexus 5x charger works with my Pixel 2 and does register as rapidly charging.
Yes, I used it last night to charge my phone
I have 2 Nexus 5x chargers and neither seem to work. In both cases they show 'charging', but after several hours the battery is at the same level.
My 5X charger works great.

I have a Vinsic USB Type-C cable and wall charger that worked fine on the Nexes 5x. I tried it on the Pixel 2 and it can't seem to charge. The lighting bolt in the battery icon that usually indicates charging just flashes but it doesn't seem to be charging the Pixel 2 at all.
Does anyone with Vinsic USB Type-C cable and wall charger have this issue with the Pixel 2?
Are certain brands of Type-C cables and chargers that were compatible with Nexus 5x no longer compatible with Pixel 2?
i actually haven't taken my P2XL charger out of the box, because I only charge my P2XL on my N5X chargers.
They always register as rapid charging, fyi.
Tried using my old Samsung charger (that used to work on my Pixel XL)at my bedside lamp table last night and when I woke up this morning after sleeping bout 7 hours my battery level was only 60%?
Also my old car charger never seems to top it off but did with my Pixel XL.
Do I need to purchase all new chargers?
I have used several different chargers including really old adapters with usb c cables and all have worked for me
It may have more to do with the cable than the charger. I was using Volta magnetic cables with my 6p and they didn't work with the p2xl. Had to switch to regular cables. The OEM charger DOES charge much faster than my old ones but I'm assuming that's just a voltage/wattage thing.
Using one that came with the Nexus 6P. No problems.
I've used an Asus, HTC, and Aukey QC charger all with no problem.
Aukey, Samsung, and Huawei (mate9) chargers all worked with no issues.

My old Pixel XL car and wall chargers seem to only work when plugging it in one way. I plug it in and get no charge, I turn it around an re-plugin then it works lol. Mines getting replaced anyways!

Yes
My pixel 2 XL stopped charging at all of the sudden and only accepts slow charging and with a "Chinese" cable. The original cable doesn't work. No the cable ain't broken or the charger. My girlfriend has a pixel 3 and she uses my charger and cable and works on hers. We used also her charger and cable ( from pixel 3s ) and on her pixel 3 everything works comes to mine it doesn't even recognize to start charging.
Are you using the original brick and cable? A friend of mine has a google one device that after an update, it won't charge unless it is used with the original brick and cable...
Yes I'm using the original one.. I wrote it all but I don't know why XDA deleted some stuff.
Anyway yeah always used the original one and always been using. Never used another cable or charger actually.
It just happened put of nowhere, morning was fine when I went to bed couldn't charge it.
The only way I'm able to charge my phone now is with those lame cables of 1£ and it charges super slow. 5h for 80%. But that's literally the only way.
I've done factory reset, hard and soft resets, battery calibration, cleaned the port with toothpicks... Nothing seems to work.
It's a weird problem because the original cables don't work just the non original ones , which charge super super slow, but I'm also sure the cable and the chargers don't have any problem because I live with my girlfriend and she always uses them ( the one who came with my phone and the one who came with hers , she has a pixel 3 ) and no problems with her. Just with me.
Maybe my battery is faulty ?

Hi folks something very odd happened yesterday and I'd love your views please.
I have a Pixel 2 XL that recently stopped charging overnight and turned itself off. It was plugged into non official fast charger from Amazon I'll call "charger 1". I turned it back on and it still refused to charge.
I then tried another charger (charger 2) and it also didn't charge. I then even plugged it into a laptop and Windows said there was a power surge and wasn't going to charge it.
I had also noticed an electrical smell and the phone getting hot when it was plugged in and not charging.
I am going to return it to Google but as I need a phone for my business I went out and bought a brand new Pixel 3a XL.
Now here is the strange thing. The official charger that came with my Pixel 3a XL charges my old Pixel 2 XL and also now the two chargers I used yesterday (charger 1 and 2) don't charge either phone...
It seems a remarkable coincidence both chargers 1 and 2 broke at the same time. Could my Pixel 2 XL somehow be responsible for breaking chargers? If so, then why didn't it break the charger that came with my Pixel 3a XL?
Now I don't think I can return the Pixel 2 XL to Google.
Any help appreciated! Thanks
If the charge port on the phone had a short in it, then yes you can possibly be trashing chargers.
