Only the original Oneplus Type-C adapter is working with otg. It seems, this is not a bug, it´s a feature.
Other adapters can only be used for standard data transfer and charging.

So is Amazon... I ordered 3 USB-C cables for $9 each.

i think otg cable from orzly is also working in OP2

I got a three micro b to type c adaptors on EBay from the exotic far east. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=301725222332&alt=web
They do reasonably well with power xfer, sketchy to adequate on data xfer (depending on which example), but are a bit fragile with a hard and slightly brittle plastic. Using the OPO cable or a 1m Kopi cable I can sustain 1750+mah until the phone throttles back the charging rate (measured with USB multimeter and Battery Monitor Widget).
I expect that a better quality adaptor would be more rugged but not have huge performance gains outside of connection stability (quite important if you need to xfer large amounts of data in small chunks.

Consensus on best USB C cable for quick charging?

So since Quick Charge 3 isn't technically spec for USB C, none of the Benson Leung cables will ~actually~ charge at full Quick Charge speed, correct? Is there a consensus on the best quality cable that will charge at full speed, preferably USB 3.0/3.1? It looks like a lot of the cables with the 56k ohm resistor in it don't hit QC3 speed and I just don't want to fry my phone.

What's wrong with the cable that comes with the phone?

The one for the nexus 6p is the best I've used. I've used the lg G5 one but not the one that it comes with

The best cable is the one that comes with the phone...

The problem with the one that comes with the phone is it's only USB 2.0 I believe, and they're $20 cables. There's got to be better cables out there than that that are USB 3.0.

Here is the list with verified USB3.0 to type c cables.

No USB Cable?

I was a bit surprised to find out that the Pixel 2 doesn't come with a transfer cable, and the only adapter is USB-C to USB-A. Luckily I still had mine from the original Pixel XL, but it was odd that Google didn't include one. Just a heads up for those who haven't received there's yet

That adapter allows you to use your old charging cable to transfer. Adapter into the Pixel 2, old charging cable into adapter and into old phone

I was surprised as well to see no USB-C to USB-A cable included. I also used mine from my original Pixel XL, but Google's cables are of such high quality that I would have loved to have another.

Correct, but this post isn't really about the adapter. It's about Google including one less cable versus last year. The original Pixels included the adapter, a USB-C to USB-C cable, and a USB-C to USB-A cable. The USB-C to USB-A cable is not included with the new Pixels.
And like the new Pixels, some phones these days only come with a USB-C to USB-C cable. The included adapter doesn't help in that situation. Very few devices fall into that scenario, but it still could happen.

The original came with the adapter too? I don't remember that

It did indeed. I've used it frequently for USB OTG.

FYI, you cannot use a normal USB-A cable and the C-to-A adapter and connect your Pixel to a PC. It will not allow you to charge or connect to transfer files.
Really sucks, because I used this at work a lot with my original Pixel XL. Something changed with the new hardware and it prevents you from doing it. Luckily, I also have the original C to A cable that came with my XL.

Definitely a bummer for someone going from iPhone to Pixel 2. Now I have zero cables I can use to charge my new phone in my car. I left Apple because I was tired of being forced to buy extra things to do basic stuff so a little irked that I need to buy a special connector for car charging. Anyone have recommendations on a good cable that will actually work for both charging and data transfer?

They replaced it with the headphone cable.

There are heaps of good USB C to USB A cables out there. If you need one you can buy the google one from their store. Would have been nice to get one in the box, but I still have 3 lying around that I've used for previous type C phones.

So which third party USB C-A cables support the full 18W charging capability of the Pixel 2 besides the overpriced one from Google?
Edit: I found this one which supports USB 3 and up to 3A, if anyone is looking.

No USB A-C cable supports 3A charging unless it is out of spec. Google's A-C cable does not support 18W charging.

Do not use a 3A legacy cable to charge your phone, or you may risk damaging something.

Well the cable that I linked does have a 56kΩ pullup resistor, so it should adhere to the USB spec to prevent any damage.

Has anyone tested it to make sure it does though? I've seen several reviews from Nathan/Benson for cables that claim to have a proper resistor but don't.

That cable used to work with first pixel for fast charging but, does not work with pixel 2 I own 2 of them and was disappointed

I literally just got the cable today and noticed it's only saying charging. It should say "rapid charging" if fast charging is work correct?
Anyone confirm of a A-C cable that actually can fast charge?

I did bring up Accubattery and it will only charge at 1a even with a 2.4a charger, which is disappointing.

I received my phone yesterday and found this to be very annoying. I have a few questions:
-Is the USB-C on this phone 3.0 or 3.1 spec or just 2.0? I just assumed all these new phones had 3.0+ speed
-According to google store, the cable that comes with this phone is 2.0 spec ($20 effin dollars?). Is there a 3.0 spec cable that will work?
-Are there any third party cables out there that will fast charge and have 3.0+ spec? (of course 3.0 is pointless if the phone itself maxes out at 2.0)

I picked up this one, it has not come in but it is USB-IF certified, so there should be no issues.

USB cable help/recommendation

Hi all,
I need a new USB cable for Android Auto in my car. Having some problems and want to start by ruling out the cables as a problem. (Pioneer have told me the cable included is not usb-C certified). It needs to be plugged into the back of the Pioneer unit which involes removing half of my car interior, so I want to buy a good cable and not have to do this again any time soon!
So it needs a 'male' end to go into the back of the unit, and a 'female' end which sticks out of my glovebox permanently. Then I'll need a second cable (a usb-a to usb-c to attach the pixel.)
Having seen all the news about dodgy cables and Benson Leung (Spelling?) approved cables I confess I'm more confused than I've ever been. Plus the options seems less with the male to female cable and I can't find any recent online reccomendations.
Can someone either tell me what I need to look for, or preferably, link me to a high quality male to female cable on Amazon UK? and of course one that's certified and will play nice with the USB-C device (my first gen pixel) that's gonna be plugged into the other end.
Getting the other cable is less of a problem, there seem to be plenty of lists online for recommended high quality usb-a to usb-c cables.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Question PCIe 2-Port USB3.1 Gen2 Card

I have tried USB-A to USB-C cable on my computer but the only thing that works with the cable is windows file transfers, in fastboot it just never connects to the device, i have used my GFs PC that has a native USB-C port in the front to do my fastboot commands and it works just fine.
My PC dont have USB-C and my motherboard is this : Asus Tuf Z390 Plus Gaming Wifi
The case is a Be Quiet : PURE BASE 500 Black
I have tried all the back USB-A ports and the 2 in the front same results.
I wonder if this PCI-E Card can help me use my fasboot commands on my computer or is just a faster transfers i get with it?
ST Lab PCIe 3.0 USB3.1 2-Port (Type-C)

Tried using another A-C cable? Might be the cable itself is faulty

You might want to try out another cable. Sometimes they just suck.

I have 10 different cables that are USB-A to USB-C, maybe they all suck, but the original Pixel 6 Pro USB-C to USB-C is good, maybe you can advise me on a good USB-A to USB-C cable?

Anything by Anker. Edit: Be aware that last I looked, they also sell USB 2.0 USB-A<->USB-C cables, so I just want to give you a heads up to look out for that and I'm sure you'd want to only buy a USB 3.0 USB-A<->USB-C cable.
Also, I don't know if the recommendation is still the same, but it was always advised in the old days to prefer USB ports that are built into the motherboard - sometimes even more specifically on the back of the motherboard (for desktops). I know this doesn't help you, but just "let the buyer beware" that using an add-on USB-C card could also cause problems.

Do you have the latest USB drivers installed?
And like others have said, try different cables. Can't tell you how many times I've seen this problem solved just by using different cables.

Be aware that last I looked, Anker also sells USB 2.0 USB-A<->USB-C cables, so I just want to give you a heads up to look out for that and I'm sure you'd want to only buy a USB 3.0 USB-A<->USB-C cable.
I highly recommend Anker cables like this: USB Type C Cable, Anker PowerLine+ USB C to USB 3.0 Cable (6ft), High Durability, for Samsung Galaxy Note 8, S8, S8+, S9, S10, Sony XZ, LG V20 G5 G6, HTC 10, Xiaomi 5 and More.
Double-check Anker's site too in case they have a better sale price right now.
