Using a non-DASH charger and non-DASH cables? - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

I am thinking about buying the Oneplus 3 since I haven't changed my phone in a long time. I have a few questions about the charging.
Is the DASH charge just the wall adapter? Do I need to have a DASH charge specific USB-C cable?
Can I get DASH charge with a regular USB-C cable to DASH wall charger? (I am asking this because I use long cables because of the location of my outlets and workstation, ~10-15ft)
If I charge with a basic, QuickCharge, or non-DASH wall adapter will my charge speeds be basic or does it revert to QuickCharge (with quickcharge adapter) because it is using the SD820 chip? Also the same question if I use a non-DASH powerbank (I only need a small powerbank not the big ones they are making)?
I am not sure if this should be place here or in the Accessories forum. Please let me know thanks.
Thanks for the help.

1. For DASH charging you need both the adapter and the cable, both are specific and AFAIK there are no aftermarket alternatives.
2. No, with standard cables you won't get DASH speeds. Wires in normal cables are simply too thin to handle high current of DASH.
3. If you're using non-DASH charger and/or cable, you'll max out at about 1.5A, so a bit less than half the speed of DASH (could be slower, depending on hardware used). QuickCharge is not supported, it'll work at standard speeds.
4. Same logic applies to power banks. And DASH capable power banks don't exist (yet?), so it doesn't really matter what bank you're using.

Sorry but ive to correct you... Vooc charger and cable from Oppo can gives you dash charger. I think its same technology they just call it VOOC ... Ive bought the oppo wall charger + cable for half price of oneplus just to have it spare. And it dash charge

Thanks for the help. So just to clarify there is no QuickCharge but I can use DASH or VOOC products correct?
Do they work the same way where when I use a DASH/VOOC charger I MUST USE a DASH/VOOC usb-c cable in order to get rapid charging speeds?
Thanks

Oh, yeah, forgot about that, thanks for correction ?
DASH *may* have some slight software differences, but hardware is the same.
Still not a lot of choice when buying stuff, but at least a bit more.

Yes, DASH and VOOC will get you full charging speed, everything else will charge at standard speeds.

Can anyone provide me a link for the vooc charger and the oppo cable? If i can save some money buying those, then better.
EDIT: nvm i found them on ebay.

Thanks for the help.
Do you know of any long DASH/VOOC cables for sale somewhere?
On a side note do you know about the Oppo VOOC power bank (6000mah) since I read Oneplus is not making a DASH power bank anymore. Have you read about its DASH use or where to buy it?

Sadly I don't think this will ever exist ... OnePlus commented about cable length and they said they can't make it longer due to technical limitations (physics ...). High current = high resistance = lower max length.

charger + cable for the oneplus 1

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.

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...
Also very very useful: PortaPow USB Power Monitor:

(ps can't post links yet, grr..)

My biggest concern... USB-C

I've got a lot of devices that use micro usb, and several quick charge adapters and hubs.
From my understanding the OP3 will only quick charge when using the specific charger and cable that comes with it.
Now I'm wondering if I'll no longer be able to charge while driving and using GPS... only true quick charge seems to catch up to that kind of drain.
Anyone have an idea how this might work?

I too heard that only its own charger will charge it, but with root and custom kernels I can only imagine it'll get open to any usb-c cable
It would still charge with any cable but not at "Dash" rate!
OnePlus AMA on Reddit they say there are Power Management chips built into the Chargers so doubtful of it being opened up to any USB-C cable at Dash Charge rates.

Nope not true at all. Any charger with a USB-C cable will charge this phone. Confirmed by Andrew on Android central
I submitted a question on what kind of usb type C connector they used. I'm wondering if they circumvented the "official" type C connection in order to implement their dash charging tech.

Okay, reading through the thread, I feel like I can give you some definitive answers, and maybe solutions as well.
1) The Dash charging management IS offloaded to the charger. This means that only a charger with the built in functionality will trigger Dash charging safely. However, they WILL be selling accessories for cars, walls, etc. Might be available now. Keep checking, and if you're really curious you can call them and find out if they have any plans for the above.
2) ANY USB-C cable will charge the device, but not at QuickCharge/Dash speeds. This isn't a matter of triggering it in the device via software; the device is missing the hardware to make this work without the proper chargers. So it WILL charge, but at normal speeds.
(That being said, I ADVISE AGAINST using any charger that's not branded for the device. These things can and have caught fire and gone boom, and there's a reason they test the **** out of them before releasing them into the wild. The kid in China making $2/hr does not get paid enough to care if you die, so that's your responsibility.)
3) The inclusion of quickcharging means you can get to a destination with a plug and be reasonably charged within an hour. Unless you're a trucker, you'll probably just need to carry a charger around with you if it becomes THAT much of an issue, or keep one at your destination (I do this with my HTC 10, since i only have one plug. Works fine, lasts overnight and the 1 hr train ride to work.)
Hope this helps.
I have a nexus 5x that has usb-c with no issues. I use the stock power brick to charge and bought a respectable anker usb to usb-c cable for my pc. Can use that to adapt to my car charger to. You shouldnt have any issues. When my op3 gets here ill still use the same anker cable.
I've been using the Anker 4.8A / 24W car charger for at least a year and have (quick charged) my Note 4, LG G4, Moto G, and other devices without any problems. But I've never owned a USB-c device, so I'm weary about using it.
I honestly don't want to spend another $100 on an extra adapter, cable, and car charger just to make it a little more convenient!
Well, while it is type C, and can charge at 2.1amps, it is also wise to understand the factory charger and cable are capable of so much more. It is essentially OPPO's VOOC, which takes the heat out of the device into the charger and pushes about 20 watts, even while the phone is active.
The below video (i came across) has a great comparison.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAS76EZ87dc
I don't wanna start new theme. So quick question. Does this usb-c support any hub with hdmi, full usb 3.0 (or2.0)and usb-c charging?
Keep in mind USB-C is the new standard, everything next year will be USB-C. So whats the difference between spending $100 on new chargers now or $100 next year when it is the only choice you have?
Also a quick google-foo shows there are several USB-C to HDMI/USB/USB-C adapters

Thanks for that info. I have to look that article up. I just wonder will is have USB-C Power Delivery 2.0 to Rapid Charge. I now know that not every smartphone that has a USB-C port rapid charges. Neither my Nextbit Robin nor HTC 10 do, and I later found out they weren't USB-C Power Delivery 2.0 compliant.
Not sure why you refer to USB-C to HDMI or DP but OP3 does not have video out support.
Think I'll just take the hit on my wallet and buy a spare Oneplus dash charger. I'm slightly annoyed they went for a protected system, when Apple did it we were unhappy, so far I've not seen the community complain about this new Oneplus 'feature'.

I was going to complain, but then I did the research on DASH/VOOC and realized it is best in class, better than anything on the market to date. Quickly Charge with little heat... I'll pay 30 for a 2nd charger. And if I am in a bind, I'll just use normal USB C and suffer as I do now with my 1+1.
My only grr moment is seeing a car charger is $30.

sorry did not see this. the oneplus 3 charges at a much slower speed using the stock nexus 6p charger. i checked
I use the dash charger at home and a standard 2.1A Capdase Power adapter in the car and a 2.1A Capdase Wall Adapter at work. Obviously only the Oneplus Dash Charger Charges at lightning speeds. But to be honest.the other chargers also do faster than normal charging. Im comparing from my oneplus 2 that one used to take forever to charge. I get a full charge with the dash charger in say abt 45 to 50 mins. And with the normal charger in about 1hr 30 mins. Which is still quite fast IMO. Oneplus 2 used to charge completely in about 3 hours. Im using the oneplus 3 cable with the Dash charger. The Oneplus 2 Cable in my car and an UltraProlink USB to Type C cable at work.
Tldr. Dash charger works super fast. Other normal chargers work just fine.

That's great, It takes me about 70-72 minutes for a full charge from 0-100%. On top of the speed, I really appreciate that it doesn't overheat. I feel more confident with any smartphone that doesn't overheat while charging.

Is it possible to enable 15W USB-C fast charging? (5V/3A)

I ask this since it seems more feasible than enabling something like Quick Charge 3/2.X since this method is open and not proprietary.
It also seems feasible since the OnePlus 3 can clearly handle up to 4A of current at 5V (dash charge) so in terms of hardware it should be able to handle 3A at 5V similarly to the Nexus 5X/6P via the standard USB-C spec.
It doesn't even seem to be able to handle 2.4A via a USB-A to USB-C cable, or even via a USB-C charger using a USB-C cable.
Is there some hardware or software limitation I'm perhaps missing? If it's a USB-C device it should be able to charge via the USB-C standard
To my knowledge one plus promised dash source by the end of July. Also to my knowledge is something must be enabled and PCB hardware must enable fast charging. Galaxy s7 doesn't have qc3.0 despite having the correct hardware.

i do understand something needs to be enabled for QC2/3.X but why for USB-C?
Short answer ... no one knows and they're talking out of their ass ...
Long answer - Even if its a hardware/software enabled type feature - most do not know how to program it well enough to incorporate it. So everyone has to rely on source code with it already programmed to include it with any rom. Some guys can program it but dont have the resources and/or phone to do so. The average programmer reading your comments doesnt know specifics which is why you get a lot of "to my knowledge" "as far as I know" "in theory" type statements

Quickcharge is closed and proprietary, it's just the licensing is cheap. It only work on phone that have recent qualcomm SoC. Yes our OP3 have a SD820 but the manufacturer also have to implement it in the phone, with software but also hardware.
It's a shame that Oneplus didn't use Quickcharge because with the price of one Dash Charger or VOOC charger you can buy a 6 port quickcharge 3.0 charger... And quickcharge can use standard cable (if you use another usb C cable than the one provided, the red and blue one, dash charge don't work even with the dash charger)
So I'll tell you one reason why the Oneplus 3 won't support quickcharge even with some hack : charging a lithium battery at a high voltage make it go BOOM!
Quickcharge use 9, 12 or even 20V to make charge faster (and it's an advantage with low quality usb cable). So the phone have to be able to convert 9 or 12V down to 4.2V and it's a hardware matter.
Now for the 5V/3A of the USB-C spec, it's Oneplus that limit it (and it's safer that way). I tested many charger with a voltmeter. I used some charger from 1.8A to 2.4A and it only draw 1.5A. I used a genuine apple charger at 1A (the A1400) and it only draw 0.5A, the same when it's hooked on a computer. With the dash charger and the dash cable, it go up to 3.5A. It's not 4A but it charge pretty fast. With the same charger but with a normal USB-C cable (2.0 and 3.1 i tried) it draw 1.5A.
So the dash cable use some extra pin to make the phone identifying the dash charger and the dash cable, when one is missing, it charges at 1.5A or even 0.5A.
Why Oneplus don't use the full 3A of the USB-C spec? Dash charge/VOOC I guess.

you can have BOTH. why REMOVE USB-C 15W charging?
charging slower is safer than charging at high voltage or intensity, I didn't imply anything else.
If the charger provided can do 5V 3A like the one provided with the Nexus 6P can actually charge at 3A a Oneplus 3, how can you sell a dash charger with a dash cable that do 3.5A (and the VOOC charger that is even more expensive and need a micro usb to USB-C adapter)

Easily? Dash charge is far more quick not to mention heat efficient
Also, slower charging is not safer by default -it's less hot charging that is safer more so,
Dash charge is heat efficient? Yes it will be warmer on a cold day. Like any battery charging slower is better for the battery life.
I don't understand your last sentence, sorry
If you are talking about the efficiency between the power on input and output from the charger, I think that the power is not high enough to really make a difference with a standard charger.
I am still a big fan of Qualcomm quick charge because I could use a 3 meter (10ft maybe) usb cable not even made of thick gauge.

I think what he is getting at is during quick charge the higher voltage results in more heat in the phone, with dash charge the heat is contained in the charger. Thus phone stays cool during charge which is safer for the phone.

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?

No one can explain your statement due to it is simply nonsense..
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.

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.

Anker did a recall on their PowerLine type C cables. The rest are fine.

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:
We are offering all of our PowerLine USB-C A8185011 users a full refund.

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.

Can i use VOOC 5V-5A Charger?

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
Your device takes what it needs.

link edited, my apologies
Yes u can use VOOC charger as dash charger, you only need to convert the cable end, from micro to usb C
Am using VOOC powerbank (batt pack) with usb c converter, and it charge my OP3 in dash speed (3000++mAh charging rate)

I only have ecommerce link in my country,
You can try amazon, but you also can grab one from samsung
So, it's this 1$? Or what? If it's same price or similar, take Dash charger + Cable.

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 would rather not use that even if it works, you risk frying something.
Those adapters are designed fur 1A, not 4 ... That's a huge difference.

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.
