I orderd my google pixel 2xl in the U.K. while I live in the netherlands, so when I ship the phone to the netherlands I won't be able to use charger that come with the phone because it has the U.K. charger plug which is different from the plug we use in the netherlands.
Now I will be able to charger the phone using the usb-c port in my computer but that is obviously not a good solution.
What would you guys recommend me to do, should I buy a travel adapter and use that on the charger that comes with the phone? Should I buy a new charger but than I would also need to buy a new usb type c cable and I have heard that you can't just buy any usb type C cable. Or should I buy the official google pixel 2 charger in germany? But that would cost me 45 euros which is way too much imo..
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but thanks in advance.
i got a us version
and i don't live in the us
so i just used an adapter as there no other options for chargers
so using an adapter is the cheapest solution for now
as the only PD charger outside the us is google charger
Hm, you're making a problem in a no problem situation... Buy a travel adapter and use the UK charger. If you have extra 50 euro get one from Germany but the only difference is aesthetics.
Thanks problem solved I'll buy an adapter.

I purchased my Vibrant through one of those online retailers. With the package I got a USB charger and a car charger. It did not come with a wall charger ?
I think when I am traveling, the USB charger is no good. At airports I can only get to outlets..
If I am supposed to buy a wall charger separately, could someone point me to the cheapest option (ebay, Tmobile store, etc)
Can't help you on the supposed package contents.
But to charge your phone, you need to buy a USB wall adaptor.Then you plug your usb cable into it.
EBay will get you a good price.
Also take a look at DealExtreme.

Thank you all for the clarification. I bought one which had the USB thing for $3.50 on ebay. I think that was a pretty good price with free shipping.
Can anyone tell me the exact model number for the simple USB wall charger?
I had it for the GSII.
Looking to buy off ebay.
Mine came with a different charger that needs converter. Picture below...
I bought this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/120869020359?ssPageName=STRK:null:IT#ht_1116wt_905
because my Gnex shipped with an European plug and US adapter (which I hate carrying around). It is OEM and you get the wall plug and USB cable as well.
does it really matter what usb wall adapter is used? I bought a generic one that can double as a car adapter for when I need it in the car and it works fine for me when plugged into the wall.
what if the charger overheats the $600 dollar phone and it catches on fire then destroys your $500,000 house...
Better 7 dollar charger than -500,600 loss....hmmmm?
they sold out and now I cant find any wall charger like that, the only wall charger similar is this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006YCORR0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A1SALXWWS9Y6O
But the usb cable is suk !!

That's the only reason I haven't bought that one yet. It's the same USB cable that came with the Nexus S, but I want the same one that came with the Galaxy Nexus, but with a US adapter like that one.
Is there a place to get the same charger that shipped with the Verizon Galaxy Nexus (without the Verizon stickers)? I've searched everywhere, but can't seem to find anything official.

No idea which ships with Verizon version but Amazon has the little OEM 1.0A US charger which is what I got. It works great. I just use the Motorola micro usb cables. My GSM Nexus came with a travel adapter but with UK blades only. I ordered a replacement from Clove but it was missing the other blades too. Either Clove misrepresented the description because it claimed to have multiple blades you can switch out or Samsung packaged mine wrong so I got a refund.
Hi guys, does anyone here know where to buy the US adapter part of the charger? I am speaking specifically of the piece that goes into the charger. The two pronged plug insert itself. Here is a link of an item on ebay that includes the adapter with the charger.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-USB-Wall...ccessories&hash=item3a742ee563#ht_3518wt_1018
So ideally I'm looking to spend less than $9 (otherwise I can just buy above item and keep the charger as a spare). I don't want to use an US adapter on top of the Hong Kong one on my tab because it becomes way to bulky and would not fit the outlet near my bed. I'd need to use this outlet as its most ideal.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
I ordered mine from a store in the UK. Everything is great only that I use an adapter for the wall charger and it's bulky and uncomfortable. Also, there are some plugs in my home that aren't charging my phone for some reason. I figured I need an original charger, but I can't find one. We have different wall plugs in Europe.
I love the fast charging and I don't want to give that up.
My charger says: Model MSCN04UR
Input: 100/240V 50/60Hz 0.5A
Output: 5.0V ==- 3.0A
Any ideas on what I can order?

I live in the UK and when I go there, I see chargers with UK plugs... That's why I suggested checking there...

Same like me. I want a google's type a to c charger.
Try an adapter. I've got these. I know they make your setup bulky but they work fine w/ US plugs.

Hey Guys,
Finally my cheap EU Adapter for the chargingplug is broken. The one i got was delivered free by honorbuy, where i bought the phone.
Can you recommend a good and stable Adapter or May be even a complete EU charger to USB cable? It would be nice IG it had a good shipping time. I feind this on amazon:
https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B01EN...X236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Leeco+adapter
Is this good? I dont want to damage the battery
Thanks in advance

Any QuickCharge 3 compatible should do perfectly

I bought my original LeMax 2 in the US and got a USB-C charger and cable (both sides), so I had to find and deal with a wall plug replacement at home.
It's worked fine and is still working, even if the US->EU adapter is somewhat large, at least *after* I found out that I wasn't reversible (despite USB-c) at the charger side (but reversible at the phone side).
Le next (sorry but 'le' is 'the' in French and it's soundy very silly to say 'the Le') Max2 I bought for my son and that came with a US charger, a flimsy US->EU adapter and a USB-A to USB-c cable: That charger and the phone no longer seem able to negotiate proper voltage levels, but the problem seems to be more with the cable, as it works with another USB-A to USB-c cable. This original cable is a bit odd anyway, as it is actually reversible at the USB-A (non-c) side.
Since I wanted to cut down on the risk of electrocution and my son borrowing my charger I bought him an Anker QuickCharge 3 compatible charger from Amazon (https://www.amazon.de/Anker-PowerPo...79601842&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+quick+charge+3). Works perfectly and very quickly.
And then I went full steam ahead and bought another Anker charger to consolidate my sockets, since I have quite a few Androids and was running out of outlets (or rather daisy-chaining extension chords and sockets to nightmare levels):
https://www.amazon.de/PowerPort-Hoc...79601842&sr=8-5&keywords=anker+quick+charge+3
This one is a bit pricy but allows for quite a bit of consolidation, while it also offers at least one QuickCharge port.
And once you've tested QuickCharge, it's difficult to go back
It's full metal and feels very solid. Hopefully it also doesn't waste power unless it is actually charging.
Ask me again in a year or two if they fulfilled their quality promises without killing any phone or tablet
