Hi guys,
I'm getting my Pixel 2 in few days and I'm currently looking at accessories on Amazon. I would like to get a dock/craddle to recharge overnight on my night stand. I don't believe I need fast charging/PD for that, since the Pixel will have all night to charge. Do you have any recommendations ? I can use my Google charger power brick if the dock doesn't come with one.
How much time does the Pixel 2 takes to charge anyway on fast and slow charge ?
Thanks,
Neo.
I looked into cradles and to be honest they are way too limiting. In order to use them, you have to put the phone into a slot so that it charges, it is fixed and not very flexible.
Instead, I use a mount called a Clutchit and a regular power cable.

With it, I can just place it on the mount, in any orientation (portrait, landscape or anywhere inbetween). It just holds it and it is very easy to take and put it back on without worrying if I got it into the slot correctly. It will even hold a tablet.
I use it with a 6ft cable to an original Pixel 2 charger plug and chargers in Rapid mode.
No association with them other than I own several of these.

Pin number :1-2-3-4-5-6
Anyone knows which pins to use to charge directly or have the circuit of this battery?
Thanks a lot.
why dont you just use the battery slot in the cradle that you use to sync to the pc?
if you havent got one just look for one on ebay
saves messing about like this making a charger
in fact buy this one

Thanks for your help. The problem is fixed. I repaired it myself by connecting directly DC 5V source to the pins in the board.
@Danksolutions,
Can you tell me the detail how you connect DC 5V to the pint which pint should be connected. Thanks a lot
角落的两个，充电时测试灯才会亮！
或者2和5都可以··~~
1 and 6 or 2 and 5,two ways are OK!!!
I want something that will plug directly into a micro USB phone. I'm aware of the multitudes of this design:

I had one, thought it was garbage, it made an irritating noise both charging and discharging, its connection was hit and miss as bumping it might disconnect it, and eventually less than 6 months later it stopped working. It was advertised as a 2800mAh but its charge was extremely poor. Yet, those are the only type of chargers I can find, all from various companies using the exact same design.
The Motorola P790 is ideally the type of thing I'm looking for, it even comes with a slide out USB so it can't get damaged, but it's no good since it's a mini USB and would require packing around cords:
I'm not looking for a mega charger, one charge or so is fine as I'm not trying to carry around more than a second phones weight in a charger. I find it extremely odd that with so many phones out there, there hasn't been a decent micro USB charger without cords that I can find.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I've had my phone for about 2 or so months and it hasn't been charging. More accurately, it's been charging extremely slowly. Ever since the first time I've charged it, it has yet to ever charge to full battery even when I leave Kris charged overnight. I've already changed the battery and that hasn't affected anything so I'm pretty sure it's not the battery's problem but the phone's problem.
I don't have any mega-draining apps downloaded or running (I always exit fully out of my apps) other than the default ones running in the background. I've also tried switching chargers to no avail. I've gone from the Samsung charger that came with it to another USB cord to a battery-only charger and none of them have worked. I charged it overnight but today when I disconnected the phone from the charger my phone just shut off.
If you could help me at all that would be very much appreciated
Could be a faulty charge port?
I had a similar issue and traced it to the charging cable. I swapped the cable (not the charger) between my phone and the wife's and the problem followed the cable. Got a new one and the problem was solved.
Best way to test is with the power off

I have gone through many a headache over wireless charging and felt I should make this point to help other parents...
My son is 4 and has my old nexus 7 (2013). Like many kids he promptly broke the USB charging port on this tablet and I was forced to figure out a wireless charging solution for him as replacing the port would have only bought me some time. I've tried a lot of wireless chargers. Even ones that cost 2-3 times the price of this one. All of them have the same problem which is getting the tablet into the perfect charging spot. I have a fintie case on the N7 for protection against my son and that has always made wireless charging tricky. Not with this charger!. It's so easy my 4 year old son can land it every time. It's also way more likely to stay on the charger than any other charger i've had so far. The tablet rests perfectly on the charger propped up (he can keep watching videos this way too).
Save yourself some time and frustration and get this charging stand... for the $22 it currently goes for you won't be disappointed!

When I get a chance I will upload a picture of my son's tablet in the stand....

What a handsome and cute boy,haha,i was wondering whether the charging pad works with my oneplus 3,lool
Hello again! So you might know by now I am always in the market for power supplies that will trigger fast charge on a Nexus 6P, Google Pixel or Pixel 2 device! Well I found this cigarette lighter adaptor from Bestek that supplies more than 2.4Amp to the USB port plus has 2 additional cigarette lighter female sockets for more connections!
There are some better pictures on ebay than I could possibly take, but found it for a much lower price on Amazon if you are interested in snagging one of these.
I just upgraded to a Pixel 2XL and was very interested in how well it can charge my new device. I was unaware that the Pixel 2XL actually kicks into charge overdrive when you turn off the screen. So it took a while to capture this image showing it supplying 2.7 Amps!

Add to this, the capability of supplying almost 5 Amps total, and being able to switch each side off and on independently! You have a 12V cigarette lighter socket and USB port per side! Plus you have a display telling you how much current is being used! You can't beat this for the price!
