Check out my overview of the Orzly Type C cables!
Are you convinced of the cable? Is there the Amazon?
OnePlus One
Yeah it's good! Useful if you want a cable for work and home etc. I haven't checked Amazon yet

Hi I am using this cable and have had no issues actually i got this cable at the same time as my phone so have been using these ones and have faced no issue till date.
However I will measure time to charge from 50% from both cables and post the same

Samir
Samir_a thank you for confirming this test
lorded 12345 - think for posting this thread
doing a amazon search for orzly type c lead me to a pack of 4 which i have just ordered now
very useful for me as i can use one with my usb car charger, one at home, one at office and the final one for my power bank.
Great thread..thank you
Also interested for USB-C adapter......i saw something on eBay at £0.96, but i don't know if is a trustfully source...

Hi Samir
Did you have enough time to do the charge test ? I'd like to buy some cables for my OPT.
I ordered a couple of these adaptors
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB-...le-New-Macbook-Oneplus-Two-2/32432538845.html
But I'm not sure about quality... And those cables are nearly the same price.
Thanks
Just tried out the Amazon HAMA USB-C Cable and it fits poorly.
Even touching the cable interrupts charging / communication isnt working at all.
Hi i have faced no such issue with Orzly cables
Here is the result of short test done
Time for 1 percent charge
Oneplus Cable which came with Phone around 3 minutes
Orzly C Type cable around 2.2 minutes
There's a month delay on getting the Orzly cables via Amazon. Instead I ordered a cable from Monoprice and their Type-C conversion cap.
http://www.monoprice.com/pages/usb_31_type_c
Thats really strange because the C type cables were the first accessory available by Orzly
Thanks for the review. Probably gonna pick up a couple of these cales :good:
Just bought a 5 pack from orzly for 12.99. Not bad!

I did too, received em pretty quick. They charge as fast as the original cable. Great build quality.
The unbranded USB A to C cable in my country is hard to find. (Thailand)
(I just found one price is massive 16.7 USD. for each (100cm. long))
I ordered a Vinsic 3.1 Type C on amazon. There is a coupon code I used, I don't know if it still works for 2 dollars off. VTJKQWRG
I ordered the OPT on the 3rd and It has not been shipped yet. I have the cable and no way to test. Reviews are positive though.
http://www.amazon.com/Vinsic-Chargi...ls&ascsubtag=f402d30a391849e29fe1585f4f3a3e46
I bought three of those multi packs (containing 4 cables) to share with my brother who also bought an OPT. Cheap and from the looks of it, good.
I need a buy a new car charger anyway so I want to get the most capable one for the HTC 10. I suspect that would include the quickcharge 3.0 spec and a USB-C port?
Will there be any benefit to QC3 over USB-C compared to QC2 and a USB-A to USB-C cable?
I've looked on Amazon but I don't see anything that appears to fit the bill. Are there any other phones out now that have both QC3 and USB-C that we can gain experience from? I know the Nexus 5x and 6p has USB-C, but they don't have QC3, right?
Look for Tronsmart chargers (QuickCharge3.0) over aliexpress, might take a few weeks to deliver but the product is nice and cheap.
Even better if available over ebay/amazon.
I've just ordered this one from Amazon in readiness.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Charger-Vin...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01
Plus 3 of these USB cables.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Release-Ank...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Anker PowerDrive+ 1 looks quite good.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/AUKEY-Quick...723334&sr=1-2&keywords=aukey+quick+charge+3.0
Just be sure to get the USB-C cables that are really up to the spec, or you could burn up your new phone. See here for tested products:

Thanks guys, really nice choices here. I'm looking for a car charger myself.

I looked at that one but it appears to only have USB-A connections. I'm under the impression that USB-C to USB-C will give better charging results?

This one on Amazon seems to fit your suggestion. $20 on Amazon Prime seems like a decent deal.
http://www.amazon.com/Charger-Tronsmart-Quick-Charge-Technology/dp/B018K7LHBU
EDIT: In fact, it's an even better deal at $11 with discount code "USBCCHAR". I just ordered one.
I don't think you'll notice much difference.
HTC deliveres also an USB A to C cable with the 10.
There is a maximum of charging speed and I think you can get that also with an USB A to C.

That would be the cheapest thing that you can get delivered quickly; Aukey is another economical option that you can check.
Aliexpress ones sell for cheaper usually (or even half the cost during sale) but those take alot of time to deliver (it being shipped from China via standard international shipping).

I found this useful https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...JsQaXK1dl8I91V4-eP_sfNVNzbA/htmlview?sle=true
I would choose Anker on Amazon if I want to buy a QC 3.0.
I love tronsmart products because it has lots of models:http://www.tronsmart.com/products/quick-charge-3-0-car-chargers From 1 port to 3 ports, USB A port to Type-C port.
Easiest way would be to take a look at the Qualcomm QC certified list. It's a great starting point.
Also the list has direct links to product pages which is certainly a nice touch.
https://www.qualcomm.com/documents/quick-charge-device-list
Because if it's certified "by Qualcomm" (UL really), I'd say it's up to snuff..
Of course the list isn't updated instantly but rather monthly, so when new devices and accessories (or power controllers) roll out, and they pass the certification process, they'll be added there eventually.
I follow
https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung/posts
for his tested products and I think everyone will be fine.
Qualcomm has a list as well
https://www.qualcomm.com/documents/q...ge-device-list
I applied to review a free Choetech QC 3.0 car charger, hope they can contact me soon.
Here is the thread link to apply: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/accessories/preview-chloetech-quick-charge-3-0-t3369060

I'd be careful with these..
"Dodocool" doesn't have any accessories listed in Qualcomm's certified accessories list. (PDF)
No QC3.0 accessory OR QC2.0 accessory.
Their products do seem OK but I'm personally not gonna trust any manufacturer for example being my QC3.0 charger unless they have something on that list, at least some product that shows they have actually made something that complied with Qualcomm's standard, especially since that list isn't updated daily rather monthly.
P.S. That's a wall charger and this thread is about car chargers and besides, the 10 ships with a QC3.0 wall charger.
Edit: Now I actually looked at the Dodocool QC3.0 wall charger reviews, this one has pictures and NO UL LOGO hence it's not UL listed hence it's not certified.
I would avoid it. Might be perfectly fine and fully compliant OR it could kill your dog and burn your house down etcetera.

Spotted these on my Google feed and it got me wondering.
http://m.androidcentral.com/my-htc-10-hates-pixel-c-charger
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/phandroid.com/2016/05/18/htc-10-usb-type-c-incident/amp/
I've personally used the following chargers with a lot of USB C cables.
HP elite x2
Huawei 6P
Galaxy s5
IPhone 4/5/6/7
Usb 3 on a laptop /pc
To name but a few, the chap in the article says that his phone superheated, my phone obviously gets hot /warm /warmish when charging but no more than I'd expect.
I'd prefer not to shorten my batteries life expectancy and I know it's probably best practice to only use the htc charger, but would these other chargers actually do any damage?
I also never overcharge my devices and I've not had any problems as yet.
Anyone else had any issues?
Cheers
I doubt it cause critical problems, but I always use HTC cable and chrage just in case.

I have several cables and chargers because I travel and work and spend time in different rooms in my house, I'm not going to cart one charger around with me all the time, if I did it would be a first on any phone.
Its just when I read about it I can't remember seeing an issue with chargers / cables on previous devices.
Hyperbole stuff. The cable themselves support up to 20V/5a. The phones he is testing on supports PD1.0 not 2.0 or 3.0(3.0 currently being developed). The cables are agnostic and if you use a wall charger then you will be fine. You just have to watch out for knock offs, or cheap crap that cut corners.

The ones I buy are Monoprice ones. They are slightly more expensive but they do have a lifetime warranty. Samsung ones do scare me. They are so much smaller than I am comfortable with. They always seem to cheap out on them.

Huawei from my 6p, LG G5 and some Apple USB C to USB C ones.
Have some others but i tend to use these ones and my original HTC cable
This device is officially my debut into the world of USB C; I've never had a single device that uses it. I'm excited, but also cautious as I've read it can be dangerous if you buy a less-than-reputable brand for cables.
What brands would you recommend? Ideally, available on Amazon since that is where I buy pretty much everything from
*Side question - My previous device is an S7 Edge, and as such I have multiple QC 2.0 compliant chargers around the house and in my car (including wireless). I want to clarify whether I can continue to use those and expect fast charging or not*
I am using an Anker 2.0 car charger with mine with no issue. I did have to get a USB-A to USB-C adapter to be able to plug my car dock in (it's got a fixed USB-C cable).
I bought the Anker Powerline+ cable and a 3 pack of the regular Anker Powerline cables just to toss around, they're good.
Im using usb cables from a store called five below, got 5 black meshed ones right when the s8 came out. Now they are sold out. They are 6 feet 2 and working good

Go for Anker PowerLine USB-C to USB 3.0 Cable. It has 3ft including plugs and made up of aramid fiber reinforcement which makes it stronger and more durable.

This is what I've been using on my S8+
USB C, Veckle Type C to USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1) 6.6 Ft Braided USB C Cable
My S8+ arrived today, and I've ordered the following Aukey 5-pack from Amazon (UK). They will arrive tomorrow.
I've had pretty good luck with Anker and Aukey products, alike. Sounds like there's no hiccup with their USB C lineup. Has anyone used both, or prefer one over the other? Why?

I've used both in the past, and have no preference and for me it comes down to price/offers and convenience (in stock/out of stock). Both make quality products in my experience, and you can't go wrong with either. I usually look first for Anker or Aukey products when I need things like cables, power packs/external batteries, car or wall chargers.

Just had my Kidigi USB C dock break that I was using with my Nexus 5X. I am struggling to find any docks that have USB C and Power Delivery. Has anyone found one? It's not really important to have the PD because I only use this charger for at night when I'm sleeping but it would be nice to have if it's available. Thanks!
I am very happy with my Seifio USB C dock, but they have been out of stock for quite a while. https://www.seidioonline.com/product/seidio-desktop-charging-cradle-type-c/
Can someone clarify power delivery? I'm getting mixed results.
Are you looking for a dock that will charge your phone? What's the purpose of being USB and not charging?

FYI, I just received my new phone, Seidio Surface case and holster. I had the same setup on my original Pixel XL and it worked fine. However, for some reason the bottom of the Pixel 2 XL case is thicker, causing the USB C port to be recessed too far to connect to the plug on my Seidio USB C dock.
I will be contacting them for suggestions, as the two Seidio products should be compatible with each other.
USB C charging for the Nexus 6P was 15w. Power Delivery for the Pixel and Pixel 2 are 18w. Some laptops and macbooks can charge at even a higher rate
I cannot believe that USB type C PD has been out for years and there is not ONE usable dock.
I just bought this one, came in yesterday used it couple times now says it's RAPID CHARGING. seems to be charging well mind you it's only been one day.

I've never used a dock, but I can't imagine buying a dock like this where all of the phone weight is propped up on the charging port. Those things aren't welded in like a car trailer... they snap all the dang time. I am currently in the market for a USB-C dock, but am specifically looking for one that has a "rest" for my phone.
I've seen a couple out there, but one is Samsung and the other looks identical, but with a different name.
It seems we just need to create our own and we'll sell millions...
I ended up buying this dock. It's great so far even though it doesn't fast charge. I just have it on my night stand so I don't really care about fast charging there. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071HFM217/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ycgdAb6TYTBSR
Looks like this one is PD and even if it isn't at least it has a USB C connection and not an attached USB A cable.

Doesn't seem worth it. I've been burned too many times on Amazon with trusting their reviews. Just basically threw away $8 on a screen protector that ended up being complete garbage however had a 4.5 star review.

One of the reviews shows the connector broke after a few uses. Why are there no quality docks out there? Everything is so dang cheap. I'd spend $50 if I knew it would be a solid dock that I could use for a long time.

As theBeachBoy said, that's not a dock, so it's not what people in this thread are looking for. But if anyone is looking to buy a multiport charger that supports PD, I've owned that Anker one for a year. I have it setup near an older iOttie car mount that I use as a dock on my desk, and it works great.
