The junk usb cables from ebay doesn't provide much power for charging..
Trust me I've been through this and did alot of testing couple years back. None of the ebay usb cables managed to provide more than 200mA on my old phone and couldn't power on any of my usb hdds. Only the official ones from htc and those that comes with a usb hdd are quality.
If you're only planning to transfer data around then I guess it doesn't matter.
On one of my places (lounge front of the TV ) I using Kindle USB cable as its quite long works great

Very true. I ordered a 2m cable from eBay a few years back and plugged in to an OEM HTC wall charger. My device - HTC Desire would take more than 10 hours to charge (that's without using the device whilst charging).
It seems to be difficult to differentiate between good and bad *long* [charging] cables. I am now thinking of going for a branded one such as Lindy to see if that is better, alternatively perhaps a 'fixed cable' AC wall charger.
Noticed that my 3m long usb cable from ebay takes longer to charge the phone than the official htc usb cable so you guys are right.....

What about this belkin one 1.8m long.... £4.28 and expansys which is an actual retailer:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Belkin-Pro-Series-USB-USB-micro-B-6-feet-1-8M-/190671072901
Try a decent quality cable from somebody like Cables2Go or (like above) Belkin, much better quality and can carry much more current

I'm sure there are many different cables sold on ebay...
But yes, long USB cables tend to have a lot of resistance. Actually, they're generally not even very good for data transfer...
That said, a quality USB cable should be fine. In any event, it's not like some devices which actually have modified cables for charging.
I have ordered the above belkin one for myself, will see how well it works and report back once I get it.
I use the USB cable from my old Nokia phone. Works pretty well. I guess name branded cables are better than generic ones.

It's not HTC, just the usual cheap rubbish.
What to look out for to order a quality USB cable?
Got my 2m belkin cable yesterday, trying it out now and definitely faster charging than my no named 3m cable. What is the best way to test it?
Will time it tomorrow when it requires another charge.

Yeah is there an app that measure the current coming out of charger?
In the mean time I would just charge with the original HTC cable for a set period if time and then the same for the Belkin one.
Yeh was going to do it that way but makes it 2 days before results or 3 using the cheapo 3m cable too....

I don't quite understand what you mean by the above- what makes it 2 days and what results?
Charge the device for say 30 minutes with the Belkin cable and then the same for original cable. See which does it quicker/charges more out of the two.

Surely its possible to know how much current is drawn from charger via the device itself? Current Widget claims to do it.
Can anyone point me in the direction of cables to get that will actually charge up my Note II using 2.0A? The cables I've found will at most only charge at 1.0 A and I was wondering if anyone had any actual cables (like the OEM that came with the Note II) that they could recommend?
I don't want to short out the cables myself.
Also wondering if there's some sort of App that would allow me to force my phone to charge as though it was always on AC power. I'm not rooted.
Any info would be great, thanks.

Yes I charge at 2 amps. It's the actual charger/brick/plug not the cable that pumps the amps. Not only do I charge at 2 amps but I also get good data speeds. Monoprice sells great stuff at great prices. If you can find REAL OEM equipment at a good price I would suggest you get it but if not give them a try.
i use monoprice cables as well. never had any issues.

That's not exactly true. The cable plays a part in how much of the current gets sent to the phone. That's why a lot of the times you have to short the cable so that it reads as a charger and not a data plug.

Well I've been using smartphones for over 10 years and I've never had to short a cable to get it to read as anything other than what it was. Just my guess, if you have to purposely short a cable to get it to work right, you probably have the wrong cable. I use these cables all the time and my phone charges just fine with no shorting. Now I am using the brick that came with my Note II and I use the brick that came with my Galaxy Tab 2 7 when at work, which also charges at 2 amps. The reason why I buy so many of them is because the cord is a lot heavier than the OEM ones and the added weight sometimes makes the connector loose. But Monoprice has a lifetime warranty on all their products and a easy return policy so if a couple do fail over time it costs you nothing to get a replacement.

Yeah, there are several threads about this as most USB cables are designed to read as data cables and therefore do not give you the maximum current for charging. Most people short out two pins to make it read as a charging cable. That's why I posted the thread looking for cables that are already designed as charging cables and not data cables. They're pretty difficult to sort through. Thanks for the links.

This morning I woke up and the microsd cable was broken, I guess in my sleep I bent it and it won't charge any more..(just the cable part) from the charger. Is there a place online to buy the oem original asus cable or something compatible? Something that will charge as fast as the original one.
I use a genuine BB cable from a 9900 Bold and it shows charging at AC rate, not USB.

Pretty much any micro usb cable from a reputable manufacturer will work (its the chargers where you get the differences). I've used my S3 cable, an old Motorola cable, and a monoprice (generic) cable for charging it and other devices with no problems.
Some generic cable don't work very well. I've had charging problems. You can get the Motorola cable pretty cheap on amazon.
Mine stopped working after about 3 weeks. The cable was never bent or even removed from the wall adapter either! It's very possible that you didn't bend the cable in your sleep, and instead the cable just stopped working like mine did. Since then, I've just been using one of my many HTC cables plugged in to the Asus wall adapter that came with my N7 FHD. It works perfectly!

This is true! I think the post you quoted would have been better stated by saying that any cable FROM A REPUTABLE MANUFACTURER should work just fine. Not just ANY cable because, unfortunately, there are many 3rd party cables that are just junk. If you have a cable from your current or previous phone, and it's a phone manufactured by a reputable company, then it should work without a problem.

Fixed my post I've never bought a no name cable but I can imagine if they're cheaply/poorly built they'll have terrible impedance and charge too slow.
Also note that really long cables will charge slower (unless they use lower guage wire)
For Monoprice, avoid the 24AWG ferrite bead ones (the ones that go for about $1 for a 3-foot one). While they seem like quality cables at first, I've had 4 and 3 of them have gotten flaky over time (the D+/D- ones broke on one of them so it doesn't talk to a computer anymore, and the other two often lose connection when moved around).
I have a bunch of different standard cables from eBay (different lengths), even the colorful ones. All work without problems. It's a digital cable ( 2 data and 2 power lines). if it's not broken or shorted any cable should work. Of course if you approach the maximum length (5m -15 ft) of usb and the cable is not up to the specs it may start failing but for 1-3 m should not have problems with any cable. If we speak about the power adapter (not cable) it's another story. There are many variants and not all provide the specified power, but if the specs are correct the 2A and 3A ones should work. Car adapters , an even more different story. I'm not using my Nexus 7-2 in car (have a build in Android navi now), but I used the first gen Nexus 7, and I tried 3 different adapters until I found one which provided enough power to charge the tablet with GPS and navi on (most will let the tablet slowly discharge). I think this model require less power so maybe even some which did not work will work now.

Output:5.2V 1.35A/7W for other USB device
Input:100-240V AC, 50/60Hz universal
I attached two pictures using battery monitor widget. Just adding in too my n7 is unlocked and rooted but completely stock other than that.

I haven't actually been able to test the time it takes to fully charge since I usually charge it overnight but I'll try to run some tests and time how long it takes with the different cables and I'll post my findings. From what I've seen so far from using it, I haven't noticed any difference with charge time between the stock cable and the monoprice one With my experience using it to charge my droid razr (xt912) definitely no difference with charge time compared to the stock motorola usb cable. I'm sure with the n7 it's totally fine.
Hi All,
Got a car charger and multi port charger coming from choetech, I've used their stuff in the past and they are up there with anker as 3rd part cable companies go.
heres an early preview of them, They are looking for beta testers so you can sign up here: http://www.choetech.com/Support-review.html
Be interesting to see what these are like with the htc 10, i will let everyone know more once i receive the items.
@Phil750123, Thanks for sharing this information, I'll be glad to test the car charger!
I actually have the qc3 wall charger. So far it's charging pretty fast on my s7. Agree with other posters that the quality seems really good. Will know how it compares to stock when I get the HTC 10.
Yeah their quality is great. They were the first to come out with a good USB type C wall charger for the Nexus 6p
They're just a little bit logo happy.
RoHS eh idk. Fake CE.. And don't even get me started on that FCC logo.. Someone needs to tell them who/what FCC is..
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulates interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable.

Why on earth would a charger need that..
To me they just look like another chinese manufacturer.
Atleast have the brains to use appropriate logos so they'd be semi passable, like I don't know TÜV or UL and so forth..
And, of course, they're nowhere to be seen on Qualcomm's certified accessories list. Not even any QC2.0..
P.S. I did apply for testing, they sent me an email, I replied. Let's see if they send something lol. I'm not a liar so I'm gonna be honest if I do get their stuff for review
Yer they look decent I already have some of their usb c cables, I've just ordered the qc 3 portable charger from them aswell so il review them all and see how get on. But yer they make no mention of favourable reviews they just want a review, which means they are confident in their products which hopefully means they are good
Nice, I have some on the way, they look good.
I actually asked this question at qualcomm but they wouldn't answer, maybe someone knows the answer here, hopefully it is not too confusing.
I was wondering about the QC 3.0 technology chargers. My question is, say I buy a wall charger or a car charger that supports QC 3.0); will it charge my type C phone (say an LG G5 or an HTC 10) as fast with the QC 3.0 technology using a type A to type C cable? I know if I charge a type C device using only type c it will get me faster charges, but if I do type A to type C (with QC 3.0) with the right charger will I still get the best results?
Thanks.

type A to type c wil reduce charging times even with 3.0. I went with these cables and for a car charger I got this one both should give the rapid charging.

Thanks for clarifying, I wasn't sure. I think the HTC 10 charger comes with 3.0 quick charge, but it is a type A to type C.
I actually just got my QC 3.0 Powerbank from Choetech and I love it. Charges everything fast just like the spec allows for, and has a great build quality. One small thing I like is that when fast charging, the first light to the left switches from blue to green to indicate that. I just appreciate the assurance that my device is gonna be juiced up quick. The only thing that's odd about it is that you need to press the power button for charging to begin. I'd prefer it to just start when a device is connected, but that's my personal preference.
Overall I still really like the thing, great to have a powerbank that charges just as fast as my wall charger, before I was stuck with one that didn't have and QC capability. I'll include some pics below.
If anyone has any questions about it, let me know. Should also be getting a 6 port QC 3 charger from them soon too, will post on here when I do.

I was looking at this on Amazon last night, but they don't seem to be on Qualcomm's official partner list, which makes me a bit nervous for my battery (which I'm not super impressed with anyway so far - one of the reasons I was looking at the power bank). Do either the phone or the charger get hot while charging? The HTC QC3 charger seems to prevent overheating.

They aren't, but speeds have been up to par with what I'd expect from QC3 so far so I haven't had problems with it. The charger gets warm after a bit, as does the phone (warmer than with stock charger) but also nowhere near as much as the M9 would when charging. Don't know if you've used that before, but when charging regularly it would get so hot that it had to stop, and that's even with screen off. It was crazy bad at charging, which is a thing I never thought I'd say about a 2015 flagship....so I'm glad the 10 is better in that regard, at least. I'd imagine almost any third party charger is gonna make the phone hotter than the OEM one will, but I didn't have a problem with the heat it generated, overall.
Choetech Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 Powerbank
I actually have the Quick Charge 3.0 Powerbank from them too.
I did a written review here on Amazon:

and a video Review on YouTube:
For whatever reason, the YouTube vid isn't showing properly, so here's the link:

Im still waiting for the main qc 3.0 to arrive from china, but i also got the choetech qc3 portable charger and it works great.
Im just waiting for my usb multireader to come and il check out the voltages etc.. just to double check its all safe, but i've had choetech stuff in the past and had
no issues, they have good warranty so they must trust their quality.
Anybody have any good luck with aftermarket pixel home/car chargers on Amazon etc...?
Search for Benson Leung and USB C and you will get all kinds of info on safe cables. He is a Google engineer that tests them.

Yeah I've read it, so damn confusing! Doesn't give much info on charger "blocks" , just cables from what I see..

You need to look at the other tab on the spreadsheet. It lists wall chargers, power banks and even car chargers.
There is also this site, not as many listed, but links at top to cables, ac chargers, mobile chargers, etc. https://usbccompliant.com

i have a question related to charging. first i will say that i have previously used any charger micro-USB fast or slow cheap or quality and never had an issue whether the phone had fast or not etc..
so my question is with USB C being the next thing in adapters and now my laptop has a few of them can all things USB C be plugged into all chargers with USB C? for example my laptop is USB C and what happens if you plug that into your Pixel?
Thanks
I prefer anker, they make good quality stuff at an affordable price.
I don't worry about the spreadsheet and I have no issues. I don't get the cheapo $5 chargers I stick with reputable brands. I appreciate what he's doing but the lists are very confusing. I've read so much conflicting in for about what's safe and what's not.. Some say ALL USB C to C cables are fine and there is nothing to check. Some say you do have to worry about them though.
Some say you can use micro USB adapters with old micro USB cables and not worry.. Some say you have to worry.
None of it makes sense so I don't bother. I think it will be fine

Same here. Recently purchased the Anker PowerPort+ 5 USB-C with USB Power Delivery and couldn't be happier.

I feel the same way. I tried reading all the articles and it confused me more than anything. Such as the one you buy from Verizon the cord is supposedly junk and it doesn't charge properly....
The way I see it is if the charger is charging properly and the phone isn't running hot, then you should be good to go....
I'm using my Anker Qualcomm quick charger 3 car charger with decent success. It's probably not charging as fast as possible for this device but it works.
I have a Choetech type C charger at work and also a RavPower type C ac adapter which came with my Ravpower QC3.0 USB power bank. Both works flawlessly.
