So clumsy old me I lost my charger in a hotel while on vacation, it's impossible to get it back so I'm currently using my Nexus 6P charger to charge my Pixel XL and rapid charging seems to be working fine.
Question is are both chargers the same and can any harm come to my phone's battery from using the Nexus 6P charger?

No. I use my 5x charger all the time as a secondary.

I have the Anker Powerbank IQ 13000mAh and it has been my solid and trustworthy companion for almost two years. However if I try to charge my Nexus 5x (I do have a recommended usb c to a cable) with it,it charges just for a split second and then turns off only to switch on a second later. Charging the Nexus 5x is impossible with it. All my other devices charge perfectly fine. Does anyone experience the same problem? Is there a fix?

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!

Maybe a noob question here, but I was hoping to get wireless charging on my 2XL with a Nilken USB-C adapter. Works great on my N6P, but on the Pixel 2XL I get no charge. It registers as charging, but the battery % never goes up, even after an hour+. Is there an obvious reason why? I can't find any info anywhere.
Suggestions on getting wireless charging working?
Can't wirelessly charge a phone with a metal backing
If you really need wireless charging, there are USB-C pads that you mount inside a case. Check Amazon

That is my point. I bought a Nilken USB-C wireless charging adapter for my Pixel 2 XL. It works on my Nexus 6P fine, but won't charge my 2XL. Seems weird to me.
This is what I'm using:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y5FDXD4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My Pixel 2 XL will only charge with my old Pixel XL or the new one that was shipped with the phone. Even my car charger won't charge up the new pixel. I get the charging icon in the display but it always stays at the same charge?
Maybe your in the same boat as I am in?
That it will only charge with the Pixel chargers (old or new)?
Anyone else having this issue??
That link is for the short version. I'd think being the XL you'd want the long version.
That would suck. I need to be able to charge the phone while using it for navigation for long-distance road trips.

That's the exact adapter I used for my Pixel XL and my wife's Pixel. We quit using them because quick charging is sooo much faster.

Wow, that sucks! Ive been using my Samsung charger without any issues, and I double checked my off brand car charger and it was working fine. Charging normal as far as I can tell. If you can't charge with normal chargers, might want to RMA...

I tried charging last night with a standard low amp iPhone charger and I didn't get any charge at all, even though the charge light was on. Seems the Pixel 2 XL wont charge with low amp chargers? I was able to charge on a high amp car charger. Try that maybe?
That's what I thought, thankfully I have 2 pixel chargers now, (1 from my old Pixel XL and the new one)
Another note:
Had to RMA my brand new Pixel 2 XL as phone calls could only be heard from the speaker not the earpiece itself. I thought we had fixed this issue previously when I called into Google Support and we wiped the phone thus fixing the no sound issue but I noticed this past Saturday that it came back!
New phone should be here Tuesday or Wednesday.
Don't think the Pixel 2 launch this year was as smooth as Google would have liked!
It charges me with the turbo charger from the N6 as well as 2 port charger I have in my truck. It just says charging, not slowly or rapidly... The 2 port quick charger was for the N6.
A wireless charging coil that works with this phone would be great. I am somewhat invested into qi technology with the cradle in the truck and the stand on the night stand.

Seems like because the qi adapters are not fast charging, and the Pixel 2 doesn't seem to charge at all with low power chargers, wireless charging might not be an option yet. Inwas hoping too! Awesome to just thrown the phone on the cradle at night and no wires to f with. Maybe another battery case manufacturer will make a battery case with wireless charging again.

I have the same wireless add-on and it used to work brilliantly on my OG Pixel, but you are correct - I can't get it to work with my 2 XL. Like yours, it says "charging" but the percentage doesn't move overnight. Interestingly, I don't think it reduces in power either (I haven't been paying close attention, but I'm pretty sure I've woken up to the same % each morning that I fell asleep to). I will try again tonight.
The short vs long version of the hardware are identical except that one is longer for when it's in a case you can center it on a flat qi base, so that won't make a difference.
Very strange. I do have a fast charging wireless charger on order that I will try when it arrives, but I'm not confident it will solve the problem.
I got this one tonight and it seems to work just fine: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074SHBXC5/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

my charger looks similar. What powder brick are you using? I have a 3 different 2a wireless charging pads, and have been using the Samsung quick charger and still can't get any juice to my Pixel 2XL. I wonder if a USBC to MicroUSB will make a difference? But I don't see why...
So curious why this doesn't work!
