My biggest concern... USB-C

I've got a lot of devices that use micro usb, and several quick charge adapters and hubs.
From my understanding the OP3 will only quick charge when using the specific charger and cable that comes with it.
Now I'm wondering if I'll no longer be able to charge while driving and using GPS... only true quick charge seems to catch up to that kind of drain.
Anyone have an idea how this might work?

I too heard that only its own charger will charge it, but with root and custom kernels I can only imagine it'll get open to any usb-c cable

It would still charge with any cable but not at "Dash" rate!

OnePlus AMA on Reddit they say there are Power Management chips built into the Chargers so doubtful of it being opened up to any USB-C cable at Dash Charge rates.

Nope not true at all. Any charger with a USB-C cable will charge this phone. Confirmed by Andrew on Android central

I submitted a question on what kind of usb type C connector they used. I'm wondering if they circumvented the "official" type C connection in order to implement their dash charging tech.

Get the £25 Car Charger that will stop problems with drain.

Okay, reading through the thread, I feel like I can give you some definitive answers, and maybe solutions as well.
1) The Dash charging management IS offloaded to the charger. This means that only a charger with the built in functionality will trigger Dash charging safely. However, they WILL be selling accessories for cars, walls, etc. Might be available now. Keep checking, and if you're really curious you can call them and find out if they have any plans for the above.
2) ANY USB-C cable will charge the device, but not at QuickCharge/Dash speeds. This isn't a matter of triggering it in the device via software; the device is missing the hardware to make this work without the proper chargers. So it WILL charge, but at normal speeds.
(That being said, I ADVISE AGAINST using any charger that's not branded for the device. These things can and have caught fire and gone boom, and there's a reason they test the **** out of them before releasing them into the wild. The kid in China making $2/hr does not get paid enough to care if you die, so that's your responsibility.)
3) The inclusion of quickcharging means you can get to a destination with a plug and be reasonably charged within an hour. Unless you're a trucker, you'll probably just need to carry a charger around with you if it becomes THAT much of an issue, or keep one at your destination (I do this with my HTC 10, since i only have one plug. Works fine, lasts overnight and the 1 hr train ride to work.)
Hope this helps.

I have a nexus 5x that has usb-c with no issues. I use the stock power brick to charge and bought a respectable anker usb to usb-c cable for my pc. Can use that to adapt to my car charger to. You shouldnt have any issues. When my op3 gets here ill still use the same anker cable.

I've been using the Anker 4.8A / 24W car charger for at least a year and have (quick charged) my Note 4, LG G4, Moto G, and other devices without any problems. But I've never owned a USB-c device, so I'm weary about using it.
I honestly don't want to spend another $100 on an extra adapter, cable, and car charger just to make it a little more convenient!

Well, while it is type C, and can charge at 2.1amps, it is also wise to understand the factory charger and cable are capable of so much more. It is essentially OPPO's VOOC, which takes the heat out of the device into the charger and pushes about 20 watts, even while the phone is active.
The below video (i came across) has a great comparison.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAS76EZ87dc

I don't wanna start new theme. So quick question. Does this usb-c support any hub with hdmi, full usb 3.0 (or2.0)and usb-c charging?

Keep in mind USB-C is the new standard, everything next year will be USB-C. So whats the difference between spending $100 on new chargers now or $100 next year when it is the only choice you have?
Also a quick google-foo shows there are several USB-C to HDMI/USB/USB-C adapters

Thanks for that info. I have to look that article up. I just wonder will is have USB-C Power Delivery 2.0 to Rapid Charge. I now know that not every smartphone that has a USB-C port rapid charges. Neither my Nextbit Robin nor HTC 10 do, and I later found out they weren't USB-C Power Delivery 2.0 compliant.

Not sure why you refer to USB-C to HDMI or DP but OP3 does not have video out support.
Think I'll just take the hit on my wallet and buy a spare Oneplus dash charger. I'm slightly annoyed they went for a protected system, when Apple did it we were unhappy, so far I've not seen the community complain about this new Oneplus 'feature'.

I was going to complain, but then I did the research on DASH/VOOC and realized it is best in class, better than anything on the market to date. Quickly Charge with little heat... I'll pay 30 for a 2nd charger. And if I am in a bind, I'll just use normal USB C and suffer as I do now with my 1+1.
My only grr moment is seeing a car charger is $30.

sorry did not see this. the oneplus 3 charges at a much slower speed using the stock nexus 6p charger. i checked

I use the dash charger at home and a standard 2.1A Capdase Power adapter in the car and a 2.1A Capdase Wall Adapter at work. Obviously only the Oneplus Dash Charger Charges at lightning speeds. But to be honest.the other chargers also do faster than normal charging. Im comparing from my oneplus 2 that one used to take forever to charge. I get a full charge with the dash charger in say abt 45 to 50 mins. And with the normal charger in about 1hr 30 mins. Which is still quite fast IMO. Oneplus 2 used to charge completely in about 3 hours. Im using the oneplus 3 cable with the Dash charger. The Oneplus 2 Cable in my car and an UltraProlink USB to Type C cable at work.
Tldr. Dash charger works super fast. Other normal chargers work just fine.

Thanks for checking. Excuse my lateness. I had a feeling that would be the case because it charges severly slower with my USB-C Rapid Wall Chargers.

That's great, It takes me about 70-72 minutes for a full charge from 0-100%. On top of the speed, I really appreciate that it doesn't overheat. I feel more confident with any smartphone that doesn't overheat while charging.

Dash Chargers and Cables

hello, guys!
I am planning to keep my op 3t for its usable life (2 years?) so these days I am looking for correct car dash charger and cable for cheap. I have already have a quick charge 3 car charger and a bunch of Samsung quick charge 3 compatible cables from my wife's galaxy s7 edge.
I have following Questions:
At what pace my qc3 car charger charge the op3t if I use a genuine cable?
do we have some cheap alternate options for Dash charger type c cable and/or car charger?
if I use a USB type c converter for my other Samsung cables, will they perform as good as op genuine cables?

I think the only way to really charge as fast as dash charge does is to use a official charger from their website, other than that charging times will be longer

I recently found a bunch of articles on non-compliance for chargers/cables/adapters, and was curious if these issues were fixed or not. I just bought a pack of 3 micro USB to USB-C adapters, and the amazon page says they include the Ohm resistors built in but I'm not sure they are safe--and won't risk damage to my house or phone over cheap adapters. Aside from the official ones, anyone have insight on good chargers with cables on Amazon or in stores? Don't mean to hijack the thread, but it seems applicable here.

I bought the cable on Amazon and it seems nearly identical, I have not compared them side by side tho, first day left oem wire (that came with phone) at work and have my dash charger at home, about 60 min charge for the day is great.
So the wire I bought from Amazon seems to work perfectly fine and on point with official 1+ outlet dash charger... It was like 13.50 or something.

Well you can check that dash charge works on different cable, when you charge by it you should have Blue led + dash charge info at the bottom of the lock screen

First I thought that it is, but isn't. Since the OEM Dash cable was a bit too expensive for me, I tried this one https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B074H6MGZH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
To be honest, I was only looking for a cable that looks like the OEM one because I was 99% sure that I wouln't get the Dash charge capability for the 10 € that I paid.
Turns out better than I thought and got a bonus. Looks and feels like the OEM and supports Dash charge.

Non-Mix2 or Xiaomi chargers incompatible with Mix2?

I accidentally hooked up my P10 charger to my Mix2 and woke up this morning with the phone on 44%. Once I realized what happened I tried it again and noticed it came on showing fast charging but within 10 seconds stopped charging altogether. Meanwhile the Mix2 charger had no problems with my P10.
So where do you think the problem lies? Is the Huawei charger incompatible with the Mix2 or the Mix2 incompatible with other chargers? Anyone tried different chargers with their Mix2?

I have used multiple usb-c chargers and all work fine for me. Every QC3.0 charger should work fine. I use a blitzwolf QC3.0 charger as my primary charger.

The charger from my HTC One X+ wouldn't charge my Mix 2, but my ancient Blackberry charger does. Not sure where the incompatibility is.

That's my point. Does is have to be QC3.0? Every other phone I've owned worked with all chargers.

So it's the phone that's incompatible. I wonder why they'd do something so silly like this? Or is it a software bug?

So what 3rd party chargers would you recommend

I tried using a QC4.0 charger from my Z17 and it works without issues, but for some reason an old Xiaomi phone charger of mine didn't want to work. Probably as long as the charger supports QC, then it would be fine

My yoga 910 ultrabook charger works fine with mix 2, also aukey and powerbank without Quick Charge, only huawei charger wont work for me.

I use a Tronsmart WC2F and it charges my Mix 2 just fine.

I'm charging mine with the quick charger that came with my htc 10 with no issues. Just as fast as the xiaomi charger.
Being a Snapdragon platform most Qualcomm Quickcharge certified chargers should work.

I think you've solved the problem. The P10 is Kirin and likely not compatible with the Snapdragon 835.

I've been using my pixel xl charger because I recently picked up a mi mix 2 used and the QC 3.0 charger that was sent with it didn't work. This has been about two weeks and all seems fine. I watch it though and make sure the second it's 100% I take it off. I haven't left a phone on charge overnight since before the fast charge technology came out. I always take em off soon as they're at 100. Anyone think that's bad? I mean I have Google searched quite a bit and didn't see anyone using the of Pixel wall chargers for mi mix 2 but it was that or a Dash charger from my ole OnePlus and I'm quite sure Dash will toast anything that's not a OnePlus device.

Warp Car Charger

Has anyone picked one up yet? Is there any alternatives to the one plus brand that's cheaper?
Saw this one
OnePlus 7 Pro Warp Car Charger, Oneplus 6T/6/5T/5/3T/3 Car Charger Dash Charger 30W with Quick Rapid Charge USB Data Cable Power Charger for One Plus 3/5 / 5T / 6 / 6T/ 7 Pro (Charger+Cable) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SRKYNJ2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_f8OgDbFYR0ZJM

I've seen 2 cheaper ones that SAY they Warp charge, but I zoomed in on both, and the stats aren't high enough. They are only high enough to be Dash chargers..
Dash is still pretty fast though.

I did buy one because I spend a lot of time in the car. I also bought a spare OEM cable for it, so I don't know if it works with non-OEM cables (haven't tried, but I expect not). The charger is solidly built, as expected, and does warp charge, getting fairly warm in doing so.

Direct from OnePlus. I never found it anywhere else. At the time, they were less expensive, still riding the 'new device' wave, probably.
Oh yeah- and it does come with a cable, I just got a spare while I was order and paying shipping.

SuperVOOC car charger

So far so good.
OPPO SuperVOOC Car Charger.
Maximum 10V 5A 50W stable output to charge your phones and support 5V2A Quick Charge.
Multiple over-current, over-voltage protection.
The only strange issue is there was no cable included so I had to order one also.

Yes I know. Tried my last oneplus charger displays "superVOOC", but that's not SuperVOOC 2.0! It has a huge difference in charging speed.

Hey mate, i'm looking at getting this too. Did you have to buy the official USB C cable for it to work? I can't work out what the requirements are for the cable in order to get SuperVOOC 2.0 speeds. Just curious as i bought a standard USB C cable (one in the box is too short IMO) and although I had it plugged into the SV2.0 charger I couldn't get it to charge at SV2.0 speeds

The cable has to be the official one, because it's the only one that has [email protected] Most other cables have 5A. I also looked in China but couldn't find any that has these specs, yet.

I have also bought this charger and it is Super Vooc charger, meaning it is not 2.0 version, I use it with original cable, but the speed difference is not huge, it still charges fast enough.

hello
have a nice day

I have some advice for UK residents.
The SuperVOOX car charger its only 7.99 pounds in the OPPO official website, but it seems to be permanently out of stock.
Now, accidentally I found they are selling a bundle of the supervooc car charger + supervooc cable for 18 pounds, I think it´s a great deal so I bought it last weekend and it should arrive soon, heres the link:
https://oppomobiles.co.uk/car-kit.html
The funny thing with this is that the bundle is not listed in the web in the accessories or in any other part, you can only find it if you search for something related like "car" or "supervooc"
I also chatted with them asking about the car charger being out of stock and they didnt tell me about this bundle...

Great find. I’ve just bought a OnePlus 8 Pro wich supports WarpCharge 30T. This is the same as VOOC 4.0 I believe and they are both 5v @ 6A = 30W. Would this charger and cable charge my 8 Pro at 30W? Many thanks in advance.

not sure if it will be any good but the reviews of the product seem to indicate that it is in fact the real deal, i personally need the super fast charging as i drive since it takes me 30 minutes to get to work super fast charging would be ideal.
anyway i have decided to buy an inverter for the car to use the one that came with the phone for now, but it would be nice to have a proper car charger without all the extra mess them wires are going to be making.

USB type-C cables don't have to be OEM but they do have to be the right standard (& the standards get added to frequently so get an up-to-date cable), Qualcom PD/QC is much more common than Mediatek VOOC & they work in completely different ways.
VOOC pulses the power wires to communicate between charger/cable/phone (all 3 have chips) whereas PD/QC communicates via the data wires.
The result of this communication is different too, VOOC leaves the line at 5V & just changes the current [Edit]it seems SuperVOOC can also select 10V[/Edit] but PD/QC selects between various Voltage/current combinations & can get up to 20V.
If communication fails completely the charger defaults to 5V & max 2.1A with the phone deciding how much current to draw.
The previous micro-USB fast-charge standard is different again, it uses a plain cable & just communicates between phone & charger to select 2.4A, 3.1A or 4.2A vs the default max 2.1A

So, any feedback or review?

yes apologies i completely forgot to let people know, so basically the item works well and the phone tells me it is charging at super vooc 2.0 speeds, however I've used the app ampere and its definitely not as fast as the wall plug version but is certainly fast enough, also I'm not using the stock cable that came with the phone as that didn't seem to work very well with the charger so instead I'm using another one of my cables which is a volutz cable, i wasn't actually aware it would work since i bought it for another phone but seems to work really well, so all in all i would highly recommend the charger as it seems to be the best option for on the go and is certainly cheap enough.
