Good USB TYPE C That Support Quick Charge 3.0? ~ 6 FT ? - Sony Xperia XZ Accessories

hi everyone , can someone suggest a USB Type C Cable That Support Quick Charge 3.0 With ~ 6 ft Length?

Anker cables have worked well for me, I have a 3 foot and 6 foot that both work great with an Anker 3.0 Charger

It's pretty quick, but to be honest I usually charge at night so I don't pay attention

Normally, cables are cables, and they all wear out, are similar quality. But the USB-C from "snowkids" appears better than usual quality. Using for one month with XZ and quick charge, no problems. It's braided outside, even has a leather-type cord holder (like velcro with Anker), to keep it together. From amazon, 4.5 stars out of 5 with 355 reviews. USD$14 for two cables

hi guys...
i have an OEM Sony Quick charge 3, and i'm using OEM Sony usb type C that comes with XZ... but the charging time is so long!
anyone have any idea why?
thank you!
charger pic is attached below!

well, since quick charge 3.0 pumps more voltage instead of increasing amperage, ANY cable should do the trick, as long as its not some cheap ass cable you happened to get at a flea market.

10000mAh power bank with QC3 & Type C

Hey guys,
I have been trying to find a 10000mAh (or around) power bank with a QC3 output + normal output and a Type C input.
The closer thing I could find is the Tronsmart Presto, but this has only 1 output.
This Anker has been great for me. Charges extremely fast and reports "Charging Rapidly". Comes with a nice mesh bag and micro USB to USB cable. I bought their PowerLine USB to USB-C cable to charge my 10.

Yeah, I got something similar (only it has 2 outputs, not just one)
The only thing that I would prefer is for the input to be Type C instead of micro usb.

I saw that one, but it's just ridiculously large - would like if they make a 10 000 mAh version.
EDIT: actually, it's not just that: the input on the Ravpower is micro usb - I am looking for a type C input
It's almost like they made this specifically for you :good:

The type C port on this one can be used for both input and output. However only the micro port supports charging the power bank with QC.

QC Chargers

I have a QC 2.0 charger that worked fine with my Note 4 (2A) and Note 3 (only 1A), but doesn't charge my axon. It seems to be a protocol negotiation issue. Right when you plug it in, it says 1.5A, 1A, etc.. then after 30 seconds or so, it goes to discharging.
Has anyone tried their phones with other QC chargers (not the stock one that comes with the phone)?
The Axon 7 is QC 3.0, so maybe that's the issue?
My old non-QC charger work just fine with my Axon 7 (though of course they're not as fast).
I also have a quick charge 2.0 charger that doesn't work with my USB type c cables. However when I use a micro USB cable with an adapter it works fine so maybe give that a try.
Anyone recommend any QC 3.0 chargers? I would like an extra one for travelling and maybe one for the car.

This cable doesn't *advertise* using a 56k resistor. I'd stay away from it unless clarified.

It seems to be working just fine. However, the built-in cable might seem like a bonus but it's not such a good idea... It will be the first part to break (as always with attached cables) and you charger will loose its value.
I'D consider this instead. Same price but you need an USB type C cord (this pack is awesome). I own both these articles and i don't regret buying them one second .
Sorry, I can't post links since I'm a new XDA user...
I've bought on Aliexpress a Choetech wall charger (ASIN B01D9QZV28) and a Choetech car charger (ASIN B01582ELMC).
They work great with the supplied ZTE USB-C cable and a Choetech USB-C Cable.

Thank you for the suggestions. You know, it just occurred to me that my car (2016 Mazda CX-5) lacks a 12v "cigarette" style outlet up front. I have two always on dedicated USB charging ports in my arm-rest. Those ports are not quick charge ports though. I have two other USB ports up front where the 12v socket is usually located and these are standard USB for the infotainment setup. Hum.... The phone will charge OK on a standard USB to C cord right that lacks QC 3? Bummer. Was thinking I could get QC in the car but not likely! I will need the suggested cables either way though.
I may have a 12v in the armrest too, but same deal - I'll need longer cords.

If it's standard USB A ports, the phone will charge at a normal rate, just not at QC rate.
That's what i like about those cables. 1 is really short (~30cm/1ft) one is very long (~2m/6ft) and the rest are a standart length (~1m/3ft). They all provide USB 3.0 and QC 3.0 support.
Ordered! Thanks again.

At home, I use the quick charger and the USB cable that came with the phone as well as a Insignia 10 ft. USB-C to USB 2.0 cable with Insignia USB AC adapter.
In my car and on the go I use a Platinum QC 2.0 car adapter (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/platinum-quick-charge-car-charger-black/1638009.p) and AC adapter (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/platinum-quick-charge-wall-charger-black/1637019.p) with VCE cables (https://www.amazon.com/VCE-3-3FT-6-6FT-OnePlus-950-3PACK/dp/B01J0VVKEY). The cables are Benson-approved and USB 3.0 for a really good price.
I keep my old Samsung quick charge brick (from my Note 4) and a USB type-c cable from my OnePlus 2 in my bag for when I'm out and they work just fine for quick charging. Not as fast as the ZTE cable/brick combo, but pretty close.

Compatible USB-C cable

I bought Blitzwolf 3A USB-C cable which I am using in my car with Android Auto & my HTC 10.
While I am switching to 1+3t I am thinking if I can still use same cable for Android Auto+charging in car
Any ideas?
The cable should be fine, but it will be trickle charge. Only the dash chargers provide quick charging.
I got this one for $6 on Amazon and it's Benson approved. I also brought a few Otium adapters, which sell a pair for $7 and of course Benson approved. They are so small, so I just have them all over the place. One in a bag, one in the bedroom, one in the car, and one in the office. If anyone found a good Benson approved USB-C cables that sell in packs with at least one 6ft, please share.
I bought a pack of these: https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Adapter-Type-C-MacBook-Google/dp/B01ANLA6OU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1480436320&sr=8-5&keywords=usb+b+to+c+adapter which work ok and I didn't have to buy all new cables, at least for now. I will eventually get a new cable though.

These allowed you to trickle-charge via standard microUSB, correct? I have a 3T on the way, and I don't look forward to being chained to one charging cable.

Yes, they work fine. Description states it also has a 56kOhm resistor to prevent damage, but I don't really have any way of testing. I generally only use it as a backup at this point.

I had a Oneplus One and the only thing that broke on it was the charging cable, so being tied to one cable gives me pause.
Always go for high-quality well known and reviewed usb-c cable's. As dash charge uses 4 Amps+ you will definitely need a high gauge cable (thicker copper wires) to safely carry that amount of current. Tell tail signs of cheap cables are obviously slow charging but the worse case is a buildup of heat and short out of the cables. Braided also tend to have higher wear and fraying resistance. I went for one of these Anker PowerLine+ USB-C to USB

Yeah I just got one of these but Dash charging doesn't work. Might buy an extra from oneplus and reverse engineer and make my own.
I did discover the 1+3T slurps 1.5A (voltage drops to 4.6V)out of my desktop-PC USB2.0 socket when no data-connection is provided, and nicely reduces the current to 495 mA when connected to USB.
This with original dash-cable and Legion meter. I did not try for long though, as my mainboard is only rated for 1A.
From a good high current (IKEA) 3 x 2.1 A adapter it also takes 1.5A, with no voltage drop. So it looks to me that the phone is charging with 1.5A unless a dashcharger is directly connected, or reduced to 0.5 A when connected to USB.
When connected through my Legion meter, it will charge with 1.5A even if connected to a dash-charger.
From the cable-tables, you can select AWG 23 for 4.7A, AWG 27 for 1.7A and AWG 32 for 0.53A, so there is quite a difference

If you want to be able to quick charge you will be tied down to the stock cable. I have an abundance of USB-C cables that I used to use with my Nexus 5X (charged at 2.3A on average) and none of those cable come close to charging the OP3T at 4A. I usually get around 1.4A when using 3rd party cables.
Gor this one in AliExpress, dash working and fast delivery to Spain https://es.aliexpress.com/item/100-...-Flash-Charging-USB-Wire-For/32708785156.html
I bought this before 3 months https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...32695530105.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.nTY2Iz support dash
Also seeing about 1.5a while using high quality cables and powerful charger...tested using Ampere. Just glad that this is my first android phone that I don't need to charge throughout the day.
Previous phones: mytouch4g, s2, note 3, note 4, note 5.... Never really put the 6p through its paces.

[Q] Need a new charger - where should I look for a good one?

Hi.
Two questions:
1. Where should I look for one?
Found this on Ali-express but wanted your opinion:
http://bit.ly/2ze7U2U
2. Regarding the cable: are all cables the same? Or is this (in link - the one that comes with the OPO) different (can move more current)?
Trying to save where I can
Thank you!

I have been using a 5V 2.1A charger (from Belkin) but with a "regular" old Samsung micro-usb cable and it took 6 hours to charge till full.
I can't imagine it's right.
Perhaps a new, more powerful cable?
Also, how long should it take to fully charge the One?
Thank you!!! :good:

if you use cable that support fast charge you can charge your phone less then 2 hour...just get a cable that support fast charge or support quick charge 2.0 and you will see the difference....
getting a good cable makes all the difference. I'm not sure if it is due to Lineage, firmware or the kernel... but my OPO has been very picky with the charging cable for at least the last 9 months. I first noticed this when my Jaybird Bluebuds X flat short cable charged significantly faster (then i lost the cable). then on some cables, it would say it's charging but the percentage would remain constant or even drop at a slower rate! I then tried different cables and charger combinations using the the AccuBattery app and OPO Charging Current app to note the ampere.
the xiaomi fast charging micro usb 1.2m flat cable is cheap and charges "fast". I highly recommend the xiaomi cable (i even bought like 4 of them for the office and for home).
paired with new-ish samsung quick charge chargers (which came with the S7 and C5 Pro that i had lying around), i get about 1.58A (screen off).... i also get comparable results with an old Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 charger from like 2011 and an ipad 3 charger.

well I went with blitzwolf ...I don't use my original charger as blitzwolf is faster(just a tad but still) ...BW-S5 is my main and I've ordered an BW-S9(I'll make BW-S5 a second to charge my phone in my shop and also charge clients phones/tablets if needed - I fix them too)
BW-S5 has an extended review from a dude with all the pros and cons ...great review if you want to look at it(he'll do the S9 as well but didn't receive it yet and I couldn't wait, I needed a good 2nd one)
P.S. Using custom cable made by me to avoid getting slow charges(only power cable, no data - for safety too)
I'm on this charger: http://s.aliexpress.com/qeaIfIrE and reversible micro USB cable from the same manufacturer (reversible micro usb seems to be not available to buy any longer though, I can see regular micro usb only)
Both are excellent.

Chotech SMT0008 5V/2.4A charger
Hi anybody who want to use a longer cable (1.8m -3m) without losing the charging speed, I would recommend Chotech SMT0008 5V/2.4A charger. You would be able to increase the charging speed up to 10-15%.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/CHO...er-for-iPhone-Samsung-Xiaomi/32742790687.html
This charger can supply up to 5.5V to compensate USB cable resistance (especially when using a longer cable).
https://lygte-info.dk/review/USBpower Choetech usb 5V 2.4A SMT0008 UK.html
Don't forget a good quality cable as well for fast charging. Up to 1.5m 22AWG is OK, but over 1.5m get a 20-21 AWG cable. If you want to learn about cable resistance during charging the below article is helpful.
https://goughlui.com/2014/10/01/usb-cable-resistance-why-your-phonetablet-might-be-charging-slow/
I myself use Chotech SMT0008 5V/2.4A with a Tronsmart 20AWG 1.8m cable. I have tested some cables: Mageek 21AWG 3m, Blitzwolf 21AWG 1.8m, Ugreen 22AWG 1.5m all of them are OK. Avoid VoxLink cables !! their "fast cable" uses fake 24-28AWG!

Which Charging cord is the best?

Hello, I just purchased a Pixel 2 and wanted to buy a 6' cord that I can use with the fast charge. I was looking at Anker because I use them for my Nexus 6 and they work well BUT I read reviews on Amazon and I cant find one thst will fast charge. A second question is i wanted a extra brick and plug for car and I wsnted the USB ends... Thoughts?
You'll need a USB-C to USB-C cable that supports Power Delivery (PD) to connect to and fast charge with the original Pixel 2 charger.
I have these which fast charge properly: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0756QGTVQ
For a car charger, I use this Meagoes charger which also properly supports PD: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076H7X8QN
The same cables as above also work properly with it, or if you prefer a shorter cable (3 ft): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L0F6AJI
For an extra wall charger, Anker has this which also fast charges properly: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y427WT7
I second this, have the same cables and just bought a second pack since they're on sale. They have the 56k Ohm resistor built-in for protection as well (from what I've read this is key to not frying your battery on usb-c/quick charge devices).

Well I've been using on my P2 for several months. I obey the Li-ion 20-80% charging suggestions by Battery University and using these cables it charges in about 45 minutes for this battery percent range. So their spec may be true but that charge is more than fast enough for me. To each their own ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have these which fast charge properly: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0756QGTVQ
For a car charger, I use this Meagoes charger which also properly supports PD: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076H7X8QN
The same cables as above also work properly with it, or if you prefer a shorter cable (3 ft): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L0F6AJI
For an extra wall charger, Anker has this which also fast charges properly: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y427WT7

Most excellent!
I have two extra cables, one from Anker and one from the AT&T store's tech dept, both USB C to USB A. After 15 or so months, I noticed that my USB C to USB C cable no longer securely fits into the Pixel 2's USB C port. As a result, sometimes I plug in but there is no connection, i.e. no charging. The problem has spread to my Anker USB C to USB A cable. For several months I barely used the USB C to USB A cables. I requested an RMA for the Pixel 2 and the original USB C to USB C cable securely plugs into the new device suggesting the original Pixel 2's port is mysteriously damaged. Sharing this experience in case anyone else is going through or has gone through this.
The cable doesn't make much difference as long as it meets USB-C standards. The limitation is the charger; even then, I believe the Pixel 2 will fast charge at 18w, not 30.

I've noticed the USB port gets clogged with gunk over time. Use something thin like a plastic pick and gently scrape it out. If you can get tiny swabs, use isopropyl alcohol to clean it a little better. This solved my charging problems.
