Why is my 5x "Charging slowly"?

Just got my 5x today, and it does "rapid charging" when I connect with the charger in the box, but when I connect using other USB cables/plugs (one supports QC 2.0, the other is a regular charger but supports 2.1A charging), I get a message that the device is "Charging slowly."
Are there other certain specs that a cable or charger has to have to take advantage of rapid charging?

Fast charging on USB-C is apparently very picky when it comes to cables. I havent't tried charging from the USB-A cables that I bought, but the reviews for one that I was considering said that the cable limited the charging capability to 500mA. I know little about qcomm's Quick Charging but I do know that it requires feedback from an enabled device before it will allow full power. I wouldn't be surprised if the lack of that feedback from the N5X was limiting current from the charger, but it definitely looks like a quality cable is the first step to success. Notice how thick the factory LG cable is...
Most cables limit current by a significant amount. Even factory ones. That's why the OnePlus One charger was so popular. The wall dongle was nothing special (2.0A) but the cable was thick enough to actually let it output that current. The only difference now is that our phone will actually tell us if it's hooked up to a crappy charger/cable.

Thanks for the reply, I'll have to do some hunting on Amazon for another cable and see what happens.
Appreciate it if anyone else can chime in too.

the Nexus 5X does not support Qualcomm Quick Charge, at all.

Thanks, I know QC is not supported, I was just offering up that I tried one, and that I tried multiple charges that support 2.1A charging.

Interestingly enough, if I use either of the QC certified chargers that I got along with my S6 (which only output 2A) I get rapid charging. Using an Anker QC charger (also 2A) I don't, and using a different charger (can't remember the brand at the moment, but also 2A, but not QC), I also get slow charging.
Hmm...

Charging speed on various ROMS

I know DASH charge is not supported on roms until later in July when the source is released but what are the charging speeds on various roms?
Do they get full charging speed at 5V?
On my oneplus 3 - Oxygen OS - I get 5V 1.5amps with the google nexus 5v/3a charger. In fact, it seems to limit charging speed to 1.5amps max for non dash chargers.
Can ROMs get 5v/3a?
Thanks,
Rico

Not until OP releases the source code. Hopefully by the end of July DASH charging will be implemented in custom ROMs.
The OP3 light ROM is basically custom stock and supports 5V/4A charging.

Not exactly what I mean. Can any of the custom Roms charge at higher than 1.5a at 5v? Most phones now can at least go to 2a if not 2.4a. Nexus 5x/6p can charge at 5v/3a.
Any Roms with charging rates above 5v/1.5a?
Any kernels?

i got that same observations too if some kernel is released which can take at-least 2A of current without the dash chargers it would be awesome as then we can charge fast from power banks too

I would love them to remove the 1.5a limit as it 'currently' stands... Crazy that they don't allow rapid charging that's possible with Nexus usb-c to usb-c spec adapters

I can use Dash Charge here with CM13, no problems at all.
Maybe you are using an old ROM?

Certainly you can do that. I was continuing to talk about how the Stock ROM from oneplus is handicapped by limiting charging that isn't Dash, to 1500mA max input current (as far as my observations and a quick Google have shown), just complaining about Stock basically... Java
I guess they want you to buy more Dash equipment instead of getting 3A rapid charge out of a usb-c to c spec charger

This is because the Limit of the cable. Most cables only support 1500mA. So to prevent it from smelting it will only Dash charge with a Dash Charger..

People tend to not understand that the limitation is there for safety reasons. You can't safely use all kinds of fast charging with all kinds of hardware.
DASH keeps the voltage at stock 5V and bumps up the current to 4A, which would destroy standard cables (too thin).
Other types of fast charging mostly keep the current lower, but bump up the voltage. OnePlus 3 *does not* support QC3 (technical limitation, not software) so you're stuck with 5 volts. And at 5V you can't safely go above 1.5A with any cable.
So, if you want fast charging, you have to use DASH or VOOC (VOOC accessories are confirmed to work as intended with OP3 and tend to be cheaper).

Sure, I understand that, but none of this is what I'm asking as far as I'm aware. Let me say it like this..
I'm sat here with three Nexus chargers.
They output 5V at 3A (to a 5X and 6P) as per USB-C to USB-C spec.
I also have a PC motherboard with a USB-C port. It also conforms and allows 3000mA through the cable. Because all USB-C to USB-C CABLE is supposed to allow up to 3000mA by the standard. DEVICES can request that to be 1.5A or 3.0A.
The USB-C to USB-C spec cable is 3000mA
I plug it into my OP3 and it only allows 1500mA
I'm pretty much just *****ing at Oneplus for not allowing something LESS than Dash charging on a certified specification for the USB-C port.
We are taking 5V 3A USB-C spec (can't by design be thin cables) versus 5V 4A DASH (custom USB-A cable) which means NO danger of melting cables.
So is the OP3 port just not compliant?
To follow up from wiki:
All USB-C to USB-C cables are considered full-featured USB Type-C cables and must be active, electronically marked cables that contain a chip with an ID function based on the configuration channel and vendor-defined messages (VDMs) from the USB Power Delivery 2.0 specification. USB Type-C devices may optionally support bus power currents of 1.5 A and 3.0 A (at 5 V) in addition to baseline bus power provision; power sources can either advertise increased USB current through the configuration channel, or they can support the full power delivery specification using both BMC-coded configuration line and legacy BFSK-coded VBUS line.

So basically Oneplus in my eyes must have made a call to not enable 3A on a USB-C/USB-C cable, seeing as the in-device hardware is able to stomach 4A. It's just a matter of allowing communication to the USB-C spec charger to say, send 3A, I can cope with it.
I'd love to hear what you guys think.
I have a USB-C/USB-C car charger with 2x USB-A ports, and so i'm really bummed out that the OP3 won't accept the perfectly reasonable and safe 5V 3A it can give. I use the two other USB-As for other devices, so I don't want the single port DASH car charger from OP. It's a waste of space and investment...

I see that I forgot to mention another important piece of information before - the statement that I quoted here is not entirely true.
Remebrer that OnePlus boasted about keeping the device cool even while fast charging? Well, that's because they moved some of the hardware from phone to charger itself. Meaning that the phone alone does not have all the necessary internals to handle different charging inputs. Which is probably the reason that it only gives you 2 options: DASH or standard 1.5A @ 5V.

Yes, but literally three amperes is less than four amperes. The voltage is the same. There is no different internals technically required to intake Less then the maximum amperage, that's just plain electronics.
The issue with heat they quote is due to Qualcomm Quick Charge using higher VOLTAGE which means a greater 'pressure' of current. Higher voltage needs better internals, but both of what I'm talking about are 5V and need no additional hardware to receive LESS amperage of 3A versus DASH's 4A.

every new roms support dash charge now

Google Pixel/Pixel XL Use USB Power Delivery up to 18W, do not support Qualcomm QC

Benson Leung said Google Pixel/Pixel XL Use USB Power Delivery up to 18W, do not support Qualcomm QC, I wonder what kind of adapter the two phones use. I used a 5v/3a USB C charger and USB C - C cable with my Nexus 6P. Does this adapter and cable work on Google Pixel/Pixel XL?

Will it work? Sure.
Is it the optimal option? No.

Thank you @testinguser. Can't wait to get the phone.

Umm... USB Type C will charge at 3A, no?
Shouldn't it be 5V/3A for the Pixel / Pixel XL also?

Absolutely, USB C is designed to negotiate with the charger how much juice is sent. the pixel works at 5V 3A (15W) and up to 9V 2A (18W), Basically if the plug fits it'll get some sort of charge. There are loads of USB C chargers with PD, the spec goes up to 100W and any charger will provide any device with the maximum it or the device can handle (So a 100W charger will give 18W to the pixel and the Pixels 18W charger will give 18W to a laptop for example)

If you have a true USB-C 5V/3A charger now, it will work fine, but as stated it is not the BEST option. 5V/3A = 15W.
If you buy a USB-PD (Power Delivery) type C charger, it has the capability to charge the Pixel at 9V/2A = 18W, so a 20% faster charge... in a perfect world, instead of 0-50% power in 30 minutes, you'd get 0-50% in 24 minutes. BUT, we don't know how long the phone will charge at 18W. Hopefully to 50%, but it has to cut down current eventually just like all QC chargers, or else it'd damage the battery.
The charger included in the box is USB-PD compliant.

Great info. Now I wonder if the Tronsmart W2PTE will charge at 9V/2A...

USB C port output:3.6V-6.5V/3.0A,6.5V-9V/2.0A,9V-12V/1.5A(MAX)

Technically it has the ability to, but I wonder if it can.

My guess is no because that is relying on a QuickCharge handshake to occur between the device and charger. Pixels will use USB Power Delivery which is an entirely different specification. It'd be great if it does, but I highly doubt it.

It seems even the ones on Amazon that are PD units all are either 15w (5x3) or have the 9x2 spec but don't actually show it as addressable in handshake.
I just want to give someone my money and I am getting upset that I don't have anyone to give it to...

@bigblueshock It seems Tronsmart W2PTE not a 9v/2a PD charger, I saw Choetech has a 29w USB C PD charger

Great Phone, I am thinking to buy it.

uhh, QC3 supports both 5v3a and 9v2a. I use my QC3 charger with my Pixel C and it rapid charges.
The same will most likely be true for the pixel phones

I think it still doesn't work because the difference is in the protocol for handshake, not a limitation in the ranges of current.

Wouldn't it be nice if the phone could say what it was receiving and how it had negotiated? I've accumulated quite a few mains chargers, power banks and cigarette lighter adapters.
A QC2.0 PSU makes my Pixel XL say charging rapidly, but it doesn't say how rapid. Another mains charger said charging slowly, which was odd (you'd expect that from an unpowered USB hub) and others just say Charging.
How are you supposed to know what's what? The supplied PSU says Charging Rapidly, but clearly it's more rapid.
Even just putting it as an option in the developer menu would be good enough. It would then enable me to check all my various adapters and establish what does what.
Wouldn't it have been nice to just have one standard?!

There are special USB adapters that you plug between phone and charger that will tell you what it's using and what the voltage and amps are.

I'm seeing unexplainable results, like faster charging from my old Motorola Nexus 6 Turbo Charger than with the included Pixel charger....

But that doesn't actually MEAN anything. I had a bad car charger that would overheat easily over time. My Nexus 6P would say "charging rapidly" and Ampere would show 100mAh, charge completion time was over 3 hours, etc.
Google designed the phone for USB-PD, nothing else. QC 3.0 does work with this phone. Unless someone uses a USB power meter and posts solid numbers like mentioned in a previous post, people need to stop posting this ****.

Charging cables amp issue

I bought from Aliexpress about 15 charging cables for me and 2 of my friends ... all of us have S8+ phones
The cable's description shows 5V 5A cables for Huawei Mate 9 10 P10.
The issue is these cables are not FAST charging our phones as needed.
Are there any requirements for the fast charging cable other than the current rating?
My understanding is the Adaptive Fast Charging uses 9V 2A (18w) while the cables are rated 5V 5A (25w) which means the cable bought should be superior to what is needed.
Does anyone have any explanation why these cables are not charging fast charging (Adaptive Fast Charging)?

Yes, they went bad. I buy cables from five below, and usually the type c 6ft works out of box. Then if you drop the cable so many times or do something, it stops fast charging. Now sometimes it doesnt work out of the box. Idk the construction behined the fast charge cable but the oringal samsung and more expensive dont seem to have this issue

Question Obscenely long time to charge

Not sure what's going on here but just plugged my P6P in and after about twenty minutes of doing something else I checked it and started laughing. Also the net standby stuff is at 33%. Is all this because of this months patch because it's charged better than this last month. Anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it? Thanks in advance for any help.

I had a problem charging my phone for the past 3 months. Finally upgraded to a new GaN3 charger and it solved all my charging headaches and future proofs me for a few days. I have these fancy magnetic adapters I bought too which really add to the experience.

There's the links for you all. Has worked with everything I have put on it so far. Pixel buds, samsung watch, S21 Ultra, Pixel 6 Pro charges FAST with no heat.

I doubt if it's the latest firmware - at least by itself. My wife and I haven't had any problems charging our phones from multiple sources/different cables.
You could try turning "Adaptive Charging" off and see if it helps, although I still have mine (and "Adaptive Battery") on.

Thank you guys for the help. I actually turned everything that has to do with the word "adaptive" off so I'll test it over the next few days. Woke up to my phone only 85% charged on my wireless charger/lamp which sucks. I just wish Google didn't set so many restrictions on what can charge the phone at it's fastest and keep it there.

My P6P and my wifes Pixel 6 charge faster than that and we use one of THESE to make it as slow as we can overnight (with adaptive charging) so i dont think it is anything to do with the recent patch.

Turning off Adaptive Charging and using a nice PPS charger and cable will alleviate most of the charging complaints for the Pixel 6. Those old USB-A or regular PD chargers won't cut it.

I also recently experienced the same issue as the poster, and honestly idk what it could be other than an individual defective phone or a bad update. First noticed the issues about a week or two ago for me; although don't have an exact date. It doesn't happen 100% of the time, but it does frequently occur about 90%
At LOW battery, I'd be getting 9w draw (read on an external USB C charge-reader). Accubattery and ampere, while less accurate, also read 930MaH charge. Google stating 4.5 hours till full charge. Despite my phone stating its being "charged rapidly"
Contrasting that to what I consider "normal" at 18w-23w draw on the charge-reader, or 3600 - 4600 MaH with accubattery and ampere
Same charge speed on all bricks I used. Tried different outlets, cables, even my car:
* Google charger
* ANKER 30w PD
* ANKER 65w PD PPS (brand new)
* FasGear 30w PD AC (car)
* Used 4 different USB-C to C cables: one by Google, two by Anker, one by UGreen.
* same charging speed from 1% through 50% (which is supposed to be when it charges the fastest)
* temperature was normal
* technically only "adaptive charging" is relavent (which was off), however for ****s and giggles I turned anything adaptive off.
Beyond the testing I did above, I checked accubattery's history and saw several days (where I charged from sub10% to 100%) report the maximum off-screen charge was still below 1000MaH throughout the entire charge session

It sounds like something might be physically broken at your end. I'd suggest to contact Google. They will want you to go through a couple steps (probably factory resetting the phone, changing cable and power brick), after that they will probably offer you a replacement/repair the phone.

Indeed. I wonder if there could be something physically or electronically borked with the USB-C port/connection on the phone itself.

Be careful with USB-C, it easily captures dust that is pushed in the back of the slot when you plug the cable, and after a while it prevents the cable to be fully inserted, creating connection issues.

Anker Powerline III cables don't fully support PPS. Charging would disable and enabled, in an apparently random way. Anker's 10ft usb c to c cable works fine though. So extraordinarily thin cables like the powerline 3 probably provide less than ideal charging speed.

This is the product I'm referring too.
USB Power Delivery is much more powerful, supporting up to 100W of power to charge up even the most demanding gadgets such as laptops. It’s also safer, as gadgets and chargers communicate with each other over the USB cable to confirm the optimal charging power level. This handshaking approach supports voltage steps at 5V, 9V, 15V, and 20V for power outputs ranging from 0.5W to 100W. The new USB Power Delivery Programmable Power Supply (USB PD PPS) standard supports configurable voltages too, enabling more optimal charging. If two devices fail to communicate a suitable power rule, USB Power Delivery will default to the next power option supported by the relevant USB protocol, such as USB-C 1.5A
PPS itself does not enable 100w charging. USB PD 3.0 does. So that wattage bottleneck you're referring to doesn't matter since PPS is another charging standard built intop of USB PD 3.0
So what I was saying is that an extraordinarily thin cable like the Anker Powerline 3 may not be ideal when using a PPS charger. Works fine with USB PD 3.0

So what I'm getting at right now is that my 100 watt flow cable is actually charging slower with my wall charger then the one you linked?

Are you using a Powerline 3 cable and a PPS charger if so? It may perform sub optimally, in my experiences.
