original accessories from google? - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

I was wondering if it's possible to get the original accessories that come in the box from Google support or something? Got a pixel 3 xl for a good price but it came with none of those

I just bought the original charger from Groupon. They had a great price ($15). Not sure what it is now.

TLDR: Only Googly things worth purchasing (on sale) are the stand and fabric case.
Congrats on the new phone. You can buy anything in the box on Google... but why? They are ALL overpriced and there are many quality USB-C charging products out there. Deals abound right now on equivalent stuff. I took my P3XL out of the box and just plugged it into my existing P2XL stuff. Everything is still in the P3XL box. One useful thing is the USB-A to USB-C dongle which I use for USB thumb drives, but you can get that anywhere. I did break down and buy a G Stand when they were on sale half-price on BF. No way would I pay $80 for this. Still kicking myself for paying $40 BUT it is fast charging wireless and more importantly lets me use the phone on my desk at the right angle and it doesn't move around. Solid piece of kit once you switch off EVERY other function but wireless charging. Oh, and I ordered a carbon fabric case because I loved that on my P2XL.

Careful of low quality USB type C cables. I find even the Anker ones I bought on Amazon don't charge my phone as fast as the Google ones after only using it for a month... (Used ampere to check charge speed) And if you buy some really crappy ones you can kill your phone. Don't skimp on cables or chargers... My friend asked me why his phone doesn't register inputs properly when he's charging and he had cheap cables (the phone was doing funky stuff while plugged in)

Something like this might be a good buy for you

TBH, you can't go wrong with the Motorola charger. It's solid, name brand, and quick charges. (plus it's roughly 4.85 on amazon) The problem with ebay is fakes... for something like this.
Griffin 2A usb charger (charger only) use with a good microusb cable and you will never buy anything else again...
This thing charges so fast its crazy. And it's great quality, though expensive...
Be careful online.. Griffin sells their throw aways for super cheap in package so they look like retail products... (the upc might be 1 off or something)

I got 2 Motorola car charges I got off of Amazon over a year ago. Never had a problem work really well with at least a dozen of phones of people who have been in my car and it charges really fast even on the GS3.

The one on amazon is real, the one you posted looks fake. The original motorola pushes out 950mA. Your mileage may very with a fake. Plus, it's half the price on amazon. Why wouldn't you be able to use amazon over ebay?

Micro USB replacement cable

I was wondering if anyone knows of any good replacement micro USB cables. Mine has started to act funky and only charges correctly at a certain angle.
I know there are several cheap cables out there on Amazon and eBay but I was looking for something reliable such that if I flash through Odin or some type of future Bootloaders I do not wanna risk bricking my phone because of a bad cable.
Can anyone suggest or link me to official and not knockoff Samsung cables or some other alternative that works well. If not can on suggest a reliable Brand that I can search for.
Thanks.
Belkin make very good cables indeed. I have several; give them a shot. They're not overpriced, either.
I would stay away from the cheap ebay ones (as you said) - they don't seem to work correctly, never seem to charge/connect to my S3 properly.

buy any cable that comes standard with smartphone from nokia, samsung, HTC and sony will do.

Do you mean the official ones?
I bought few of these, works perfect.

my favorite cable and charger is the Amazon Kindle charger and cable. Especially the cable. I have a few of them and buy more as funds allow.
I've bought about 5 of these and they work perfect. They are very similar to the stock one from the S2. Shipping is free and was pretty fast.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Repla...id=1352330867&sr=1-1&keywords=galaxy+s2+cable
I hate that Samsung Galaxy S cable. It comes off way too easy.
My favorite one is Logitech cable: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Lo...556?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item336a98f674 . I have few because they come with the devices. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with HTC OEM cable. Only $1 on ebay and it works great.

This is the type of cables that I use. I bought 8 of them last year, and I have put them in my car, my wifes car, my daughters car (with cheap USB chargers of course). I put chargers on a couple of my motorcycles using them. I have a pair of bluetooth intercoms for my helmets that need micro-USB chargers for them both. I had to buy another bag of 8. I've given a couple of them away. So I have about a dozen charge connections, and only about $25.
There is no reason to pay more the $2 each for these cables. The USB works on them. They charge over USB. They charge at the high charge rate. They work correctly and they are reliable. And if one of them DOES ever fail, I won't feel bad.

Best place to buy cables at is Monoprice.

That's where I get my cables from. Never had a bad experience from there.

Stay away from the 89c cables from Hong Kong, they are horrible quality and don't conform to USB wiring standards. I had a bad experience the other day when I tried to plug the emergency cable I keep in my bag into my S3, wouldn't go in, I thought I'd somehow bent the charging port on my S3 but really it was just the ****ty cable.
Both ports connect perfectly to cell phone and computer. - The length of the cable is the right size (90 cm), not too long and not too short. - I have been using it for some weeks and it works fine for both transferring data and recharging my phone.http://dx.com/p/usb-charging-data-cable-for-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-90cm-length-59092
Although monoprice are quality the cable's micro usb side(metal part) isn't as long as the Samsung cable and they don't tend to stay in as well. But it's not that bad but noticeable. I love monoprice besides shipping costs

Cheapest wireless charger?

Would anyone happen to know where the cheapest, compatible wireless charger is sold for the G3?
Bro if you buy cheap you can't get mad when it don't work good. It is never worth it to go cheap
I don't know if I would say that. Some people got a cheap wireless charger from AT&T that was fine but out of stock now. I'm not talking about the back cover I know AT&T's is different. I bought a LG Vest case from Korea for 20 and it was 60 in the US. Same exact case. It's kind of hit or miss though. I want to get wireless charger but only if I can find a deal on a good one. I think buying cheap batteries is different though. I want a slim case but I don't know what ones work with a wireless charger. I guess maybe I'll just get a bumper or something.
Depending on the item, I'll buy cheap such as chargers or cables. They've worked for me for X amount of years. If it breaks, I'll buy a new one and it will still be cheaper than buying a quality one that costs 4 times as much.
I just ordered this http://www.ebay.com/itm/22147408925...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I see a lot of people and on YouTube using this. The Qi chargers are nothing special. Its all plastic and the internal is just a chip, with wire and coil for charging. You can even buy the internals on eBay and put it in to your own case if you're that creative.
I have Nexus Wireless Charging orb I can sell you
Qi-compatible wireless adapter with NFC
My adapter finally arrived! I used a sharp knife and sliced out the old one after I tested this one.
Chinese website that only took 2 weeks to deliver!
It works with my Nokia Wireless charger just fine. However, with the standard white, flat, Qi-compatible charger I got on Amazon for $8, it says "charging slowly" and to plug in to the usb port to charge faster.
I'm just glad I don't have to buy the LG-branded wireless charging station for $50+!

My Nokia DT910 charges fine with no slow charge warning, but randomly disconnects and then immediately starts charging again. Is it doing that for you?

Where could i find a case with headphone jack and whireless charger?

Hi,
Ive seen a case on some dudes iphone 10 with a charging port, headphone jack and apperantly powerbank inside of it (wich is triggered on a button press)
My question is, has anyone found something along the lines of that for a pixel 2 xl? it would be nice to see something like that with whireless charging in it.
The powerbank isnt really a needed thing since i have a big capacity hand held one with solar panels in them
or has anyone in general found a whireless charger case for the pixel, i dont want those charging pads wich you stick in your charging port and then behind your case, because it prevents me from connecting my phone to my pc directly,
Kind regards
Sadly Ive been waiting for one of these since I bught a pixel in 2017
Sorry I don't have a good answer I want exactly what you have described. Bu since October 2017, Ive not found one. I think the pixel is still too much of a rare phone for accessory manufacturers to be bothered

yeah, me too, i lowkey gave up on looking for them, all i found was powerbank cases, i ordered one waiting for it to come tho
We're lucky to even get that. Personally, a battery bank with type-C Power Delivery does the job for me when I know I'll be taking a lot of pics and videos. I have the old short, thick design but there a handful of tall, slim ones now just barely smaller than the footprint of the Pixel 2 XL.

Has no one found a case like this yet for the pixel 2 or XL??? I'm actually genuinely interested in this. I found a case for the iPhone that added a headphone jack and while I love my Sony 1000x m2 sometimes I just like to plug in with without fear of battery drain or disconnecting. No Bluetooth headset is perfect and never really will be when you cut cables.

Authentic Pixel chargers on Amazon for $22

Amazon seems to have genuine Pixel 2 chargers on sale for $22. at the moment.
-- I dont have 10 posts yet so can't share the link, but they have them, ordered it yesterday--
(shipped and sold by Amazon is why I believe this one is genuine)
Picked up a black and white Pixel 2 XL from Craigslist last week after my S8 turned 1. I was itching for something different
It came in one of those flat boxes with just the G on the front of the box and no accessories. Thus wanting a fast charger. I spent a little time looking and didn't come across a kit that seemed reliable for my new stormtrooper for less than the genuine thing from Google for $37 or so with tax.
Will update the thread if it's not legit when received later this week.
Wanted to share the find.
What is the link?

I just joined and until I have 10 posts I'm not allowed to post the link.
Or I would have...the site restricted me when I tried.
I think this is the Google charger they're referring to.
https://www.amazon.com/Google-Wall-Charger-Pixel-XL/dp/B077NNS9PB
Yes.
And I received it. Appears to be in authentic packaging and can confirm it fast charges.
Any Power Delivery rated charger should work. I have a couple Aukey chargers that have a PD USB-C port as well as a QC 3.0 USB-A port, since my girlfriend has a Galaxy S7.
