Charging cable for Oneplus 3 - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I need a couple of more charging cables for Oneplus 3. One for my car and other for work. I was wondering can I buy some extra Oneplus 3 cables or do I need the adapter also to go with it. Can I just buy USB-C cables if I don't need the dash charge option?

The Dash charge system requires both charger and cable to be DASH compatible, currently only OP sell those as far as I know. I have 5-6 other non-dash type C cables stashed at work etc and they work just fine, charge the OP at "normal" speeds rather than dash. Fine for charging when Im in bed.

So basically if I buy a USB Type C then I will get normal charging but not dash charging. Are the generic USB-Type C cables compatible with the dash adapater? I believe a normal USB cable will not work

Mini USB to Micro USB adapters

I purchased a couple of Mini USB to Micro USB adapters from Amazon. These are for Blackberry, and allow you to use your old WM sync cables and power adapters with the newer micro USB phones. I can confirm that they provide power and USB connectivity, so all those old chargers and cables can be put to good use.
Also a quick note: I am using Blackberry charger on my Aria, and it works fine.
beware i bought some off ebay that only charge
but 3 of them for 2.98 shipped not bad

Ditto.
FWIW the seller mine came from was Eforcity
Its best to get a charger thats similar spec. I have a Palm charger that 1amp 5 volts and it charges the phone just fine to full power in about an hour, however i have another charger from am a windows mobile phone thats 850 miliamps and 5 volts and although it charges the phone it charges slower more like over an hour.

Extra Long AC Charger

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

Charge 2 Devices with One USB Cable?

I I am looking to put a little charging station in the storage compartment of my home theater sectional. I really would like to only run one USB cable to charge my devices. I am a bit worried I will not be buying the correct pieces for my needs. I bought a 16ft. pluggable USB cord on Amazon recently, but there seem to be worries that a single USB cable may not provide more than 2.1a.
I would like to charge at least two smartphones (HTC One X and Note 2) at once and at their full charging rate. Assuming that this is even possible, could someone provide me with a wall adapter and USB hub that will work for this? I like the looks of...
PowerGen Dual USB 3.1A 15w Travel Wall Charger
and
AmazonBasics USB 2.0 4-Port Ultra Mini Hub
(I can't post links yet).
If this is an impossible task, what are some other good options? I looked at the Belkin Valet, but it appears too large, and has some issues.
Well a note 2 alone takes more than a standard usb 2.0 cord to charge at full speed. Maybe try a usb 3.0 hub and tablet wall charger. Not 100% sure its possible though

Okay, that makes it sound like I might want to change my mind about this whole one USB cord plan. How about running an extension cord instead of a USB cord, then hooking it up to a dual USB wall charger like this-
Kensington AbsolutePower Dual 2.1A USB Wall Charger (Amazon)
Would that work for two Note 2s?
If it can charge 2 ipads then it can charge 2 note ii's

How to Charge & Tranfer Data - Both Ends Type-C !??

Now A70 charger comes with both ends type-c , and as I am buying it soon I got some queries popping in !
1] Can I use my old standard Samsung fast charger to charge safely A70, and it wont cause any harm to the phone ?
2] Can we use Samsung Normal Slow chargers to charge A70 Safely too?
3] How to data transfer to my PC as my PC don't have type-c port. Can I use standard type-c to Standard USB cable and will it transfer data - Totally not sure ?
Can u guys tellme any other manufacturers phones that have type-c on both ends?
You should be able to use any regular USB-A (i.e. computers, most chargers, etc) to USB-C cable for data transfer and normal charging. Not sure whether you'd get 25W of fast charging that way though, I'd suspect more likely just regular Quick Charge 3.0 as long as your wall-charger supports that.
Having a USB-C to USB-C cable in the box seems odd to me too - perhaps there's something about the 25W charging system and the new charger that might cause issues if people tried to use a regular old cable rather than the supplied one, so they've stopped that being possible?

Thx Andre.
Need more opinions from folks !
Like andrew explained already it's simple, just use USB-A to USB-C cable.

Accessories Included cable and charger compatiility

I'm looking for a longer cable ( maybe not white) that can still charge at 33W using the included charger but i'm really confused.
It seems that the provided cable is only usb 2.0 (like the phone) but has an extra pin in the ground position in the usb3.0 layout. That pin is probably used to communicate to the provided charger (CC pin in the type C port for standard Type C to Type C PD cables) following the power delivery specifications.
Are common usb3.1 A to C cables fully compatible with the charger or i'm forced to buy a new charger too? Anyone that has already bought a cable has some advice?

The cable just need to be 3A to delivery 11V/33W.
I bought this: Orico B2-ACA01 and works like stock Xiaomi cable (appers Mi Turbo Charge on screen).
My older cable Orico HTF-10 is just 2.4A and can't achive 33W.
Well, there is another options to buy: Baseus, Blitzwolf, Anker. Look about amperes, need to be more than 3A and deliveries 33W or higher.
