I use a 2m aftermarket cable to charge my htc one in the bedroom, genuine short cable I keep for the car but I need a long cable for bedroom. Can you get a long genuine htc cable. Or how about if i use the original cable along with a usb extension, will it still flag as slow charging and fake charger...?
My usb extension shows is fake smoke charging recommend using HTC charger is message I get don't know if it's because of the brand of USB cable or if there is one that will work

The cable you bought is a data cable, 28awg cable. You need 24awg if you want it to charge like a normal cable.

Are you using an HTC OEM AC to USB charger? If you are not, then that might be why you are getting that slow charge message.

i've got this and it charges really well, takes about an hour to charge from ~50%.
however it could be a combination of this cable and the Anker 5Port 40w charger.
Finding it hard to get a cheap cable in the UK. Amazon UK is near £30. I have found this one which specifies 28/24 but is still quite expensive...anybody see any cheaper for 28/24awg...

It probably is a 24awg cable. Not because of the charger since the the current would be limited by the thickness of the cable. Like I said, it's a simple case of buying the correct cable. OP your phone will charge slow with a DATA cable which is usually 28/28AWG. You need 24/28AWG (24 for 5V and 28AWG for data transfer). A good google search will find you these quite easily. Amazon is probably best bet
To be honest..
I probably wouldnt bother with thicker cables. I mean it will help but only a small amount. Install a Kernal like elementalX to enable the qualcomm fast-charge feature that HTC suppresses stock.
22 AWG okay for charging ?

Hi, thanks for the information. My stock usb cable is broke now. i understand the phone requires 25awg for fast charge. i happen to fine a long cable of 22awg. will this work for M7 ? here is the link to it .. just wanted to make sure before i make the purchase.

No, they make a lot of difference. What he bought, is a USB cable initially, one which probably wasn't advertised as a 'charging cable' more a data cable. So they have a much thinner wire because 5v is not going through. Your average USB charging cable provided for mobile phones is 24AWG, with 28AWG cable for data, 'data only cables' off ebay are 28AWG and 28AWG (higher the number, thinner the wire), these take hours to fully charge a phone
fastcharge
If you are rooted, kernels like ElementalX and TeamSeven gives you the ability to activate USB fastcharge. Might help you if you experience slow charging
Just wanted to know what are specs for the charger/cable. I can get tons of aftermarket chargers for my ip4 at a buck or two at the most from asian sellers from asia. am I right that I simply need a 2a charger, with a mini usb cable at the end? just looking into getting extra for when they decide to release it to the public.

Anyone tried to trace pinout yet? IIRC, I read somewhere 2 of the pins in the cable were shorted, signaling to the OP that it was to take quick charge. I'll try to find that. The same article / post discussed temp sensor limiting amount of charge since the OP would get hot. Not as quick as true fast charge, but faster than standard.

I have a question. If you use the OPO charger, but plug a usb extender into it(and the OPO cable goes into a usb female at the end of the extender cable), does does having that non-OPO cable in the chain slow things down? Mine does seem to charge slow, but I've honestly never connected the OPO cable directly from the charger to the phone to compare. I honestly don't understand how anyone could use it like that (or any other cable coming with a phone). Not even long enough to stretch from an outlet to a table top if the outlet is right next to the table. My Dell Venue 8 Pro cable is amazing(ly ridiculous). It's maybe a foot long. I guess they expect us to charge our devices on the floor? With the DV8P case the cable would barely even reach the floor!
i can confirm that using the OPO wall charger with a 3rd party usb cable does result in a slower charge time. I tried 2 different cables-- both were of different gauges and lengths-- both resulted in different charge times and were all at least 2-3x slower then the OPO cable. anybody with knowledge as to what kind of cable OPO is using and where we can buy longer versions?

I can also confirm slower charging using the stock charger with aftermarket cable. But most of my cables are cheaper, is it possible that the gauge of the wire inside the cable is higher on opo cable? Allowing more amps through?
Also, @effluent , if using an aftermarket cable slows things down, I'm assuming putting an extension in the middle will have very similar negative impacts.

You want a charger cable that won't fail.... Stop buying them online. I've bought them everywhere online and they just can't compete with the usb/charger cable from tmobile.... Maybe be the same for other service providers. Plus you get 30 days to refund or exchange.... So you know after a month if it's worth it which it is.... Those teeth won't sit down and ruin the quality of the charge like 90 percent of the cables online.

You just have to find the right cable. I went through this same thing with my galaxy s5. I got the application "galaxy charging current" and compared the milliamps of all my cables. Some would only do 4-500 ma. Some would do 1800ma. It just depends on the cable. I'm using the cable I got with a ps4 right now, and it will do 1800, and it's 4 feet long.

Try a fast-charge cable, it has the correct pinout (shorted pins) for fast charging.
www<DOT>amazon.co.uk/dp/B0088HTYUE
And you can't overcharge, it's the phone that demands the current, not the charger that pushes the current through the phone. The phone's charging circuit protects the phone for overcharging and handshakes the right charging current with the connected charger. Charging Android is quiet a complex thing...

its not the cable, but the wall adaptor you plug your cable into. the thing you want to pay attention to is the amperage (written mA). most any USB adaptor bought at a wallmart powerstrip section will push 2.1 amps. stay out of the tech section of the store, those will cost a lot more and only push 1 amp.

The cable shouldn't matter but I have the Samsung multi-charge cable (3-in-1) and it doesn't support fast charging even if the Note 4 is the only device plugged in. I do have a cheap 6 foot cable I got from Monoprice which supports it just fine.
Needs to switch to 9 volts to fast charge. Look at the charger

The only thing to watch out for is that this cable will have slightly higher amperage (1.67A) than normal going through it, still not as high as a [email protected] charger, though. Higher amperage result in a lower gauge wire (thicker wire). Just FYI as this is a common failure amongst USB cables that is often times not stated. For a 2A power charger, for example, you would want a 20AWG cable instead of the dinky 26-28 AWG that are normally given.

It's a bit of both, wear is more dependent upon quality of the cable of course but higher amperage through it than what it was designed for can result in excessive heat dissipation which is never good and does bring down the MTBF.
For actual charging speeds the gauge of the cable and as well as the length both make an impact on charging speed. Most OEM cables you get with your phones are normally the more beefy, good quality 1 meter 20AWG ones which is just about right for [email protected] (10.5W). For longer lengths you will want even thicker gauge wire as the losses will be higher and thus resulting in less actual power. A lot of companies get by making "USB certified" cables because the requirement is 28AWG or thicker, they're normally the ones you can find for just a dollar or two on monoprice or something.
For the fast charger ([email protected] (15W)) a 28AWG is likely sufficient, still would prefer a thicker one as when the phone is not fast charging it will switch back to [email protected]
Here's a useful calculator to determine the proper cable size needed for the charging load:

Hello friends, in my country there is no Dash charger from official oneplus. but there are some oppo's vooc charger available. as far as I know vooc charger works in 1+3.
and there are two types of charger from oppo.
1. 5v-4a (same as dash charger)
2. 5v-5a
so if I use the 5v-5a charger would it harm my device? would you recommend it?
thanks in advance

I'm afraid using an adapter would kill your charging speed (reduce to normal speeds).
You need compatible cable for DASH/VOOC speeds - mainly because they are thicker than normal ones. Well, any standard micro USB to Type-C is not designed for such high amperage and it becomes the weak link here. The phone will think you're using a normal cable and won't pull more than 1.5A through.
Tl;dr: you need a DASH/VOOC Type-C cable, no adapters.

I don't have any charger actually, I use my laptop to charge it which is very slow, and I don't want my laptop on for whole night. so I needed a charger badly. as there is no dash cable here I have to order it and as for now have to use the ordinary usb-c cable for the phone.
You can use any wall charger with 1a, 2a. It will not charge Fast as Dash, but faster than the laptop.
