QC 3.0 compliant cables?

Hi,
the last days brought some fuzz about QC 3.0 vs. USB-C 3.0. From what I learned, the main concern was that QC 3.0 would allow up to 18V where USB-C 3.0 limits it to 15V. I guess this is only of concern if QC 3.0 is configured to use 18V where it could also use 12V.
How many Volts does the HTC 10 use and which USB-C cables (besides the one that comes with the HTC 10) are compliant that they can be used to QC 3.0 the HTC 10?
I ordered these because they are USB-C 3.0 spec compliant and hoped, these would also work for QC 3.0 (not only charging but quick charging):
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B634WNK/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_cAlixb1AC04M7
Would it work to QC 3.0 my HTC 10 when it arrives? Can anyone shed light on this?

AFAIK the charger (bought in Taiwan) that came with the Device supports 5v 2.5A, 9V 1.7A and 12V 1.25A only

Actually, the original USB Type-C specification limits the voltage to 5.25v max ( 4.75v min)...
But there's another specification which is USB Power Delivery, which can handle up to 20V/5A, although it's only on this USB PD... QC does not follow USB PD spec. and the USB 3.0 specification does not allow any proprietary spec. to increase the voltage more than 5.25v.
Regarding the QC 3.0 compliant cable, as long as the cable follows the USB Type-C specification then it's okay, and the best is a cable that follows the USB 3.1 gen 1 Type-C specification as this is what HTC 10 actually have...
having more voltage only requires more insulation which for a 20V is very easy and even a cheap cable can do it, as the USB specification requires more shielding for the USB 3.1 gen 1 and gen 2 ( ie USB 3.0 and the new USB 3.1 ).. and that's compared to USB 2.0 requirement...
Higher current is what require more from the cable, as the copper needs to be thicker ( the higher the current, the thicker the copper cable needs to be )... you can see already some cables that are thicker than others, some of them because of thicker copper, and some for thicker shielding, and some might be from having both
I just ordered these cables which are very good according to spec. and reviews
http://www.amazon.com/Spigen®-pull-...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
specially that "Benson Leung" reviewed them and he approved it ( He's a 'Top 50 reviewer' list), the cables were actually faulty and he gave them 2 stars rating, then the company replaced it with newer version which where perfect and fully compliant with USB Type-C specifications including the requirement of a 56K ohm resistor which was wrong before... and the cables are USB 3.1 gen 1 compliant also so it should have full speed ( not just USB 2.0 speeds ).. but I still didn't receive them nor I have HTC 10 on hand ( not yet released here ) so I cant give my personal opinion on them...

Look this for accessories support

PD 1.0 5.25V max for 2.0 cables. For 3.1 cables it is 20V/5A which is PD 2.0. So honestly I don't see why people are all it isn't compliant. The only difference between the two. Is one can charge while transferring data and the other can't. People just make sure you have a complaint cable and you'll be fine.

But what is a compliant cable? How do we know if it's compliant?
Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Free mobile app

Any cable compliant with USB specification. Just because it's a quick charger you are using doesn't mean it needs it own cable.

One thing I will say though. Don't bother using skinny cables. Chances are they don't have enough copper and insulation. Those are probably not even compliant in a lot of cases.

Well, I found my charging cable! 7.96€ shipped to me.
http://www.portablepowersupplies.co.uk/portapow-charge-sync-usb-c-cable/
Nice and thick 20AWG power wires, also it's a charge+sync instead of their red colored "charge only".
Which means Quick Charge actually works because there's a digital handshake that needs to happen before Quick Charge works.
With 20AWG wires there's not gonna be a lot of voltage drop.. Perfect for charging.
Now I'll just go and look for a nice USB 3.0 data cable (A to C) as I doubt that PortaPow cable is USB 3.0... Quite unlikely actually.

I got Monocable ones. They are more expensive but have a lifetime warranty AND are BEEFY. 5X cable in the middle. Samsung is the other white one.

I use USB A-C cables that I bought for my Nexus 6P, and all of them are compliant per the USB spec. I've tested many of them with my HTC 10 and they all work just fine via QC 2.0/3.0

I just got these cables from Aukey and the weirdest thing is they don't work with the HTC 10 charger. Just don't charge. So I plugged the cable to my Samsung Quickcharge 3.0?(from my Samsung S7E) and they worked like a charm. So I think this cable may be suspect.

That is very odd... I also purchased these cables (but returned because I preferred the lifetime cable warranty from Monoprice better) and they worked fine with my HTC 10 charger and even charged at Quick Charge 3.0 speeds somehow.... The Aukey support said they were only 30 AWG, so I was a bit surprised they charged at the same/similar speeds to my HTC 10 cable and charger

Yeah man, I literally got this cable yesterday. First thing I did was plug it into my HTC 10 charger...nada. I'm like ah oh....played with it, plugged it into another outlet, same thing. Finally, took the cable and plugged it into my Samsung charger and boom...rapid charge.

I bought a bunch. Even micro to C. I am one of those lazy people that would rather buy cables for work and home in different rooms so I don't have to move them or carry them.
I have to say the Monoprice ones are more expensive but they look beefy and has a lifetime warranty.

[Review] Choetech QC 3.0 car charger

For anyone in the market for a new quick charger for their car....
I picked up one of these off a large online retailers site. Model CHOE-C0046T Best part was it included a new USB C cable. I suspect by their product listing on their website this item will undergo a single change where the quick charge port itself will be USB C... Right now both ports are USB A with one QC 3.0 and one regular usb port.
Charger has been working great and for $13.99 you can't beat it in price considering it comes with a cable.

I must agree with Dottat on this device. I also picked one up, and must say even at $13.99, it's a hard deal to pass up.
The USB-C cable seems solid. The charger itself is compact and small, so it doesn't protrude insanely far from your
cigarette lighter outlet.
Dottat gave many of the specs, so there's no need to repeat them all here. Suffice it to say, I am a satisfied customer
with this purchase!

Very nice car charger here, and the fact that it comes with a good quality USB type c cable makes it even better. Very small and compact. Great addition to my HTC 10!

So, before i get into this further, i would like to acknowledge that i received a discount on the device to write a review. With that being said, here goes: The highlighted blue USB slot is the QC 3.0, while the other is the 2.4A smartport. I own an HTC10, and it charged my device rapidly without getting hot in the 18 minute trip from work to home. It does trigger the rapid charger connected on the 10, which means it is taking advantage of the QC 3.0. The type-c cable is very well built and solid. This charger is great bang for the buck.

I also just picked this up Monday. I must say I'm impressed. Charges my phone great. Plus I got a free cord with it can't beat that. I recommend this to anyone looking for a 3.0 rapid charger for car.

I wanted to chime in on this since I grabbed one of these off Amazon. The USB cable seems of good quality, as does the actual charger itself. I have two HTC 10 devices and have now used this to charge both of them many times. I experienced no issues so far and everything appears to work quite well. The phones charged up quickly, as I would expect from a QC3 device. This was not a brand I was aware of before purchasing this product, that said I will definitely be looking at their stuff going forward.

I also received this car charger for review. Here is my review that I posted on Amazon:
I tested this CHOETECH QC 3.0 USB Type C Car Charger with my HTC 10. The charger charged my HTC 10 at full QC 3.0 speeds while testing. So far I have not run into any issues with the charger and it fits into my car's port with no issues. The car charger is actually much smaller than I was expecting,but still fits without issue.
Pros:
- Small size
- Comes with a USB C cable
- Charges at advertised speeds
Cons:
- None that I know of yet. I will update my review if I find any.
I have received this product for free or discounted price for my unbiased review. This does not affect my review score, as I try to review each item honestly.

I received a large discount in exchange for a review on Amazon as well. This is the second item I've received from Choetech (both were at a discount and I'd not previously heard of the company) and I've been very pleased with both. This car charger in particular is very nice. I don't think there's a whole lot to say about car chargers; either they perform as advertised or they don't, and this one does. It charges my LG G5 quickly without heating up and is small enough that I can leave it plugged in all the time. I do wish both ports were QC 3.0, but overall, that's the only thing I would change about it. It's a nice bonus that it also came with a decent quality USB-A to USB-C cable.

I too received a Choetech QC 3.0 USB Type C Charger, as I've done some reviews for Choetech in the past. I got this at a discount, but those who have read my reviews in the past know I can be overly critical BECAUSE I get things discounted. This, in the short time I've used it, seems like a hit. I mean, nobody is going to drop their pants for a car charger, right? It's a solid little unit, looks to be well constructed, and comes with a good quality A to C USB cable of decent length and thickness. QC 3.0 on one port, standard charging on the second, and it worked reliably in the week I tested it.

I have also received this device on discount and have zero complaints. Worked great on all three of my USB c devices. All hardware that was included is of top quality and works as advertised. Only thing I wish is that the cord coiled up so that it isn't laid out on the floor of my truck or in my console.

As everyone else said, this charger works great, exactly as advertised. I've used it on a few longer trips now, and have had no trouble getting to full charge nearly as fast as on my home charger. If you have multiple devices, you might want to check out a multi-QC3.0 charger rather than the one QC, one regular port, but for a single phone and a GPS, this works perfectly.

Quick question that might be a little obvious... Can I charge any kind of device on the second (non-blue-non-quickcharge) USB port?

Puts your phone in quick charge mode after you plug it in and a short car ride later you arrive home with a charged up device.
Highly recommend this to anyone needing a good car charger for their HTC 10 at a good price to look no further than this device.

I'm pretty sure the original htc car charger does not support QC 3.0 rapid charging unlike the Choetech. You will only be able to charge at slower speeds.

Yes, it's true.

Awesome find. I did not see this brand on the qualcomm website. Is it due to list being not up to date? Also do you guys use the phone while it is charging? I pretty much drive around and use gps all day. Would this be in while in charger? If not can I just use the usb c cable this charger comes with and stick it in my regular t Mobile charger? If I use it that way would it be ok to charge and use phone without overheating battery? Thanks in advance

Does anyone use a Xiaomi 10000mah Powerbank Pro with this?

Sorry for such a specific question, but does anyone by chance own a Xiaomi 10000mah Powerbank Pro (the 2016 dark grey one with QuickCharge 2.0), and can confirm that the QuickCharge 2.0 works with the HTC 10?
Reason I'm asking is because of the included Type C cable. EVERY Type C cable I have tried did not work with the stock QC3.0 plug. So I want to make sure that I can charge this phone with the QC2.0 feature before buying it.

Non HTC 10 chargers?

I don't fully understand why, but I've read that due to our phone using USB-C for charging, that I should probably just use the OEM cable and charger my phone came with. I have an LG G5 charger and cable laying around, but the specs are slightly different than the 10's. Would it damage my phone to use that as a spare charger? Also, can somebody give me a simple explanation why USB-C is delicate for quick charging?

And secondary - which charging do you intend to utilize: Qualcomm QC technology or conventional charging - when asking about different adaptors..?

I'll rephrase the question, not statement, in a way that might be easier for you to understand. Here it goes: Can somebody give me a simple explanation as to some people allege USB-C is not compatible with Qualcomm QC?
Also, since my question is about quick charging, and since the LG G5's charger uses quick charging, that's the kind of charging I want to do.

i would check the output voltage, htc can accept ~5volt ~9volt and ~12volt.
if you have a good usb-a to usb-c cable (stock or somethink like aukey (NOT ANKER)) i would feel comfortable becouse the phone and the charger communicate with eachother on what voltage to charge.

To be even more precise, on just one model ID of their PowerLine USB C cables, the rest of their PowerLine USB C cables are fine.

Anker’s Powerline 3.1 Gen2 cable has a flaw that causes it to “remember” the charging voltage for a laptop that it’s plugged into, then accidentally provide that higher voltage to a phone unless it’s unplugged from the more powerful charging base. This can overload your phone and destroy it.
Anker has already replied with the following recall:

Anker’s Powerline 3.1 Gen2 cable has a flaw that causes it to “remember” the charging voltage for a laptop that it’s plugged into, then accidentally provide that higher voltage to a phone unless it’s unplugged from the more powerful charging base. This can overload your phone and destroy it.
Anker has already replied with the following recall:

Right, and that's a USB-C to USB-C cable. Not sure why you're recommending to stay away from Anker's USB-A to USB-C cables.

Aukey 3.0 car charger

I had the Aukey 2.0 charger for my V10 already but caved and went for the 3.0 now that I have only one battery for my V20. Okay you need this car charger. It flies. This will hold you over until aftermarket V20 batteries come to the market soon.
I was so impressed that I also upgraded my Anker 2.0 PowerCore+ pocket sized power bank to the 3.0 version as well. Its 10,000 mAh. Here's the link for when its back in stock on Amazon.

I bought this charger and it doesn't seem to want to quick charge my phone.
On your lock screen, does it say "charging" or "fast charging"?

Are you getting the charging icon in the upper right corner with the special symbol within the battery icon? A circle with the flash symbol inside.
A non-Quick Charge charging connection shows the battery icon with just the usual lightning bolt that you see on all other devices when charging.
But on the lock screen it should say fast charging and the battery percentage at the very bottom of the display.

I'm having the same issue with the following chargers:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019C23ZGW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
From the lock screen I just get "Charging" not "fast charging" or "rapid charging". I've also tried different types of USB-C cables but no dice. However, if I plug in the supplied charger that came with the V20 I get fast charging.:crying:

I'm not sure why it's happening honestly.
I get the standard lightning bolt charging symbol up top, and just "charging" on the lock screen. It isn't fast by any means either.

I would shoot Aukey an email. I'm sure they will want you to reply before you leave a bad review.

Are you using a USB C to USB C cord? I see both of those have C to C ports. Those are going to be fast charging. Just get a C to C cable and you'll be better
Fast charging USB A ports are colored orange - those have green or black which would not be fast charging ports.
If you read the description on the first one, it says the USB c port is the QC port and the USB A port is "AiPower Adaptive Charging USB-A port with dedicated 2.4A output" which is NOT QC and is not recognized by the V20 as a fast charger

It's the same thing for the second charge, the Type C port is your QC port
See specs listed
Specifications:
Input: AC 100-240V
USB-A Output: DC 5V/2.4A, Works with most of USB devices, like iPhone,iPad,Tablet, GPS or other standard usb devices
USB-C Output: (Type-C QC3.0 Port): 3.6-6.5V/3A, 6.5-9V/2A, and 9-12V/1.5A
Dimensions:2.76 x 1.02 x 2.01 inches (70.0 x 26.0 x 51.0 mm)
Product weight:3.63 oz (103g)

I just about to order one from aukey for qc3 may be I should get confirmation first, I am using a qc2 charger from aukey and it is fast charging fine

Which one are you ordering? They have different kinds(depending on # of ports). If the one you're getting has an orange USB A plug - that is QC 3.0 (Aukey likes to color code their stuff)
This is one I just bought and use at work - see how it has an orange port vs the green port of the one listed above by gchild00http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/accessories/aukey-3-0-car-charger-t3494667/post69527312
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018RR30TK
The ones listed above, the QC are on the USB C port and not the USB A port

Hi Thanks for the suggestion.
Unfortunately, yes I am using a USB-C to USB-C cable and just getting a regular charge I emailed Aukey and they are going through some troubleshooting steps with me. One suggestion was for me to try it on another phone but I don't have another phone with USB-C to USB-C quick charging capabilities. I've also tried different cables to no avail.
Funny thing though is that I'm seeing the same issue with a Tronsmart Quick Charge 3.0. I emailed Tronsmart and they told me that Quick Charge 3.0 is not supported on the LG V20 but is on the LG G5. I don't think that's accurate but checking the Qualcomm website and the list of supported devices that was updated on 09/26 it looks like the V20 is not listed.
However, it seems that this may not be an accurate list and it seems that others have been able to get the QC 3 functionality....perhaps I was sent two faulty chargers from two different manufacturers????

Thanks so much. I must have missed that. I sent the link to Tronsmart to prove to them that the v20 support QC 3.0.

Just wanted to provide an update concerning at least the Tronsmart QC 3.0 charger. So after sending multiple pictures to Tronsmart of their charger providing a regular charge and the stock LG charger providing a fast charge they determined that because the LG V20 is a newer device that they have another product that can provide QC 3.0 using USB-A. My original Tronsmart model is W2P2TE but I was told that I can contact the seller and have them replace it with the W2PTU model.
https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Tron...01ER4J564/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_pdt_img_top?ie=UTF8
I'm a bit disappointed because I purchased several USB-C to USB-C cables to get QC 3.0 but now they are saying that their newer revision can do it with USB-A..that doesn't sound right to me. So I'll just send the product back to the seller and get a refund.
Also, on a side note for those that do have a QC 3.0 set up plugged into the LG V20 using USB-C to USB-C cables, does the V20 say fast charging (just like with QC 2.0) or does it say rapid charging?

That sounds completely stupid. If their charger is truly QC 3.0 then it shouldn't matter how new/old a device is. If the device supports 3.0 then their charger should work. Leads me to think that there is something wrong with their QC 3.0 management and they are not Qualcomm Certified (and in fact no where do they list that they have Qualcomm certification)
Even when you look at the description of that "new" charger it says QC 2.0 lol
Product Description
Tronsmart Quick Charge 3.0 USB wall travel charger.
1 Quick Charge port compatible with Quick Charge 2.0 and 1 Type-C port. 33W total
Also it looks like it is not Benson Leung approved (in fact he went on to say it violated some USB type C regulations)

I have 3 different QC 3.0 chargers and all are giving me the Max output (that my USB multimeter can read)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/help/charging-speed-t3495600/page2
All 3 of those are giving me 9.2v @ 1.67A for 15w of power and would fluctuate as a QC 3.0 charger is supposed to. That 15w is the limit of my USB multimeter so I'm waiting on a new one that can read higher to see if they can hit 18w of power (but seeing as how the chargers instantly pegged 15w I'm inclined to believe they'll do 18w).

So far only those 3 - Aukey wall charger and car charger and an AIcase wall charger.
Haven't uses an Anker product as of yet and with the revelation that Google may kill Qualcomm QC in future releases of Android I'm gonna hold off on buying anymore

Yes I am thinking for the same sounds like qc3 is more a transition product

I bought this one here to keep in my wife's SUV (we both have V20s). It has dual QC 3.0 ports. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B2BMIMS/
I also bought a 5-pack of Aukey braided USB-C to USB 3.0 cables https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-USB-C-Cable-Braided-3-3ft/dp/B01B634WNK/, and they work great with it. Shows the fast charging icon on both ports of the car charger. Unfortunately, I don't have a tester to check the power output.
