What r u guys using? I saw an article in my Google feed that listed this one, but I see some negative reviews from people using pixel 2's. It'd also be nice to get something that came with a cable, but I wouldn't say that it NOT coming with a cable is a deal breaker. Need to get one of these ordered right away, so please help.

I use this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07234DKQ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_bE2pBbY3VNZHN
It's no longer on sale but other copied versions are available for $15. I only got it because AUKEY and Anker didn't have a Power Delivery one at the time the Pixel 2 XL came out. I know the phone charge rate is limited but I wanted to "future proof" and get a type-C charger that could do higher. I also paired with with an Aukey type-C to type-C cable.
The Aukey charger you linked should be fine. I prefer these charger without an attached cable because those can possibly go bad and you can't change the cable.

Great. Thanks for the alternative. I ended up just purchasing the one I asked about in the OP. If it performs poorly I'll ask for a refund from the seller and go with the one youve listed. I hope my purchase works and works well right out of the box, but I have yet to be impressed with a car charger for any phone. I'm a hopeful skeptic.
Yeah Aukey is legit and you should be fine. Keep in mind that it'll charge fastest with the screen off of course. However, I still get a good charge while using Android Auto and having navigation and music playing. It's definitely not the 0% change (sometimes still loss battery) that I had with the Nexus 5X with the screen on.

The choetech suggested as the alternative does have 100% 5 star reviews and a lot of pixel 2 xl users from what I can see. I think I should have probably went with that one, but the aukey is going to be here Monday. I'll try it and report here what I find. I noticed in the descriptions that the choetech delivers 3a. The aukey is only 2.4, but in a review someone noted that their pixel 2 xl says "charging rapidly" when plugged into the aukey's usb-c. I guess time will tell.
As someone mentioned, yes, there Verizon ones are ALWAYA solid, but they're usually.pretty expensive last I checked. I almost just went with that option, but I hate going in there and giving them my money. I try to avoid it.
Read the details again. The 2.4a is for regular USB and not USB-C Power Delivery. Both Aukey and Choetech do PD (Aukey is up to 24w and Choetech is only 18w) which includes the 9v/2a the Pixel 2 XL stock charger does. In the end that doesn't matter much because the phone is capped off below that. Also, the Aukey would be more "future proof" for devices to come if phones do go up to 24w.

awsome, thank you very much
I have the aukey and have been using it for about a week now with the stock little Google cord that came with the phone. I use a longer 10' Google cord (I've tried using the cheapo ebay cords and they've never lasted. That's why I'm here for the car charger cause they're the same) for the charging block in the house. That way I can still look at my phone in bed at night to set my alarm, etc. It still manages to creep there charger up while using the phone with the screen on. With the screen off I think it's about as fast as the stock wall charger. I'm not about to drain the phone and do a timed test or something though, so you'll just have to take my word for it.
I'm definitely satisfied so far. I'm glad I didn't do what I usually do and buy some eBay cheapo. Let's see if it stands the test of time though.
Just another update: it's still going very strong and functioning very well.

I don't have experience with the AUKEY charger, listed in the OP, but this one has fast / quick charged Nexus 6P, Moto Z2 Play and OG Pixel XL.

I don't have my Pixel 2 XL, yet. It arrives Saturday, but I'll try to recall to return and update this post.
ETA, this charger does fast charger the Pixel 2 XL.

have one of these in all 3 of my cars. they are great. price dips to about 8 sometimes so keep an eye out
I've given up on car chargers. I really started traveling so much for business that I needed something that would charge my laptop too so I just started looking for a full wall outlet thinking I can just use whatever. I gave up on looking for chargers with PD and just bought a new samsung laptop type c-charger thinking it has to have enough torque and it does.
I got a cheap power line charger with two wall outputs and 2 5volt 2.4 amp USB for the goons in my family that use iPhones.
But now any wall charger I use for a Fast Charge I can just use in my car.

This is the one I use in my car. Make sure you have a good USB cable of course. Anker 18W Dual Port Car Charger @ $7.99.
I needed it for the same thing you do. I use navigation a lot, and stream music as well. It charges at the same rate as the stock Nexus 5 wall adapter/cable. It is still able to slowly charge the phone while using navigation/streaming.
Here is the newer updated 24W car charger for $12.99. It no longer has a dedicated Apple/Android port, but has power management/device detection. So just plug it in to either port and it should quick charge.

I use the Owl QI Charger. I have a slightly older model, but the company is awesome. The first version the phone would still drain. Without me even saying a word, the company contacted me and sent me a new faceplate so the phone is closer the the QI unit and now the phone charges while using google maps and playing podcasts over bluetooth.
Next the phone was doing ghost touching. The company sent me out a brand new charger at no charge and the problem was resolved.
I admit the QI charges slower than pluging in directly, but the phone does indeed charge and is incredibly convenient not having to manually attach a cable.
Here is their site. .Ships form Korea.

Go on ebay and search for "scosche revolt c2" I found this after looking for so many different chargers and this finally matched what a wanted, 2.1amp from each port and slim profile.
It's $9.99 from ebay and usually sells for like $20+ at besbuy/amazon
What about a decent cable that can handle a good 1.5 amps too?

I am told the Air-Dock will meet your needs, charger and cable both. I have one on order but cannot personally confirm their claims yet as I have not received it. Check out the Air-Dock post here at xda for people who have actually used it.

The included micro-usb is moderately large and while it would fit in the Google "bumper" case, it would flex it quite a bit too. So if you already have problems with some cables fitting your case, that one might not be for you.
*speaking from experience with their old model, not sure about the PowerIQ version, but it looks similar.

Got one too, along with the 40w wall charger in the past. Power IQ is interesting. It seems to max out at 1000ma on the Nexus 5 even though the chargers are capable of more.

The only problem with qi charging and sat nav together is mega heat build up. Which I don't want
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I have some short duration data to share... with music (on device) playing and gps active (and screen on the entire time), my battery monitor recorded a drain of about -800mA. When I plugged it in to the Anker it went positive, but jumped around quite a bit: 409, 701, 611, 344, 451, 292 mA. So that got it from 77% charge to 82% in about 10 minutes. My battery temp monitor only comes on at 40^ C and it did not, so heat was not an issue.

I was interested in getting this since I needed a really good and fast car charger but the anker 24w is more than double in price on amazon.ca. I don't think I want to drop 30 bones on a car charger.
Are there any other reliable car charger brands?

Yeah I had the same problem with the 18w at the time. I don't know why they price gouge so badly... I mean really, almost every major city in Canada is basically near the border with the US, doubling the price is ridiculous.
Luckily there was a 30% coupon I could apply at the time, so the price was only a few dollars more, but still...

I can't count the number of times I have been gouged by amazon.ca. The prices are always doubled or tripled. I usually just check amazon.com first if I ever want to buy anything. I'll check local places and Canada Computers (they usually great prices) see if they have anything similar to the anker.

Hi Ben, are you using the charger's built in USB cable to get that charging rate or a different (OEM?) one?
Thanks
Is there any charge cables or adapters out there that are not genuine Samsung that will charge the Tab S properly? It seems like the only way I can get a normal charge is using the wall adapter and cable it came with. I have tried 3 different after market cables and 3 different wall adapters that don't seem to work with the Tab S. Are these wall adapter or cables just not putting out enough power?
Not really, I haven't found anything that will charge it properly except it's original charger. The sad thing is, the original charger is not widely sold. Something Samsung has been struggling with.
Sent from my SM-G900FD using XDA Free mobile app
This is MHL compliant. 2Ah, 5,3V. Most newer chargers for tablets do that. Including those cheepo ones from China. I have several of those (some multi USB chargers) which work well on the Tab S.
Staples near me was closing down, I got an original Samsung 2 Amp travel charger for 3 bucks, normally $23.00 marked down to $9.00 and when they rang it up at the register it came up as $3.00. I agree any 2 Amp 5.3 V charger should work to charge the Tab S.
Sorry to bump an old thread but has anyone else had luck with aftermarket chargers?
I have the 10.5" , I have a usb power meter and it shows my original charger charges my tablet at up to 1800ma , not bad for a 2000 ma charger, I have tried a couple of other third-part chargers they are rated at 2000ma + and they only charge my tab at 1000ma , but my Nokia 1020 charger that is 1500ma charges my tab at 1400ma so that is very good for that charger, it`s an Nokia AC60X , I wonder if Nokia does an 2000ma version of this charger.

I installed 2 110v recepticles, one on each side of the bed, that each have 2 USB connections. The USB plugs on it are rated for 2 amps each. Using the factory charging cable these things work great. Both mine and my wife's charge just fine using them.
Also have a 5v 2 amp USB wall wart that came with an ecig battery and it works fine too.
Do you know the make and model number? , they sound very handy to have.

Nope I sure don't but I did buy them a Lowe's at about 19.00 each. They have one 110V outlet and two USB ports. I have also seen a device you just plug into your existing outlet that will give you 2 USB and 2 110V outlets but I don't know how they are rated for current. Just make sure what you buy is rated at 2Amps for EACH USB port or 4+amps total.
I love mine! Charge the S10.5 and the Galaxy S4 every night on it!
Is this the one, the only one i can find on the site.

Nope that is a plug into the existing outlet type of thing. Mine was a replacement receptacle. I looked at Lowe's and Home Depot sites and could not find one that was rated at 2 amps for each USB port. 3.6 Amps was the best I could do. I know the one I bought is rated for 4.2 amps overall as this was the very reason I bought it! Pretty sure it came from Lowe's or Home Depot they're the only two places in town. I do know that I didn't find it online. I remember being in the store and looking at every one they had and reading the specs on each box and I found the ones I have so I scarfed them up as soon as I saw they were rated for 4.2 amps.
BUT - That one you found should be fine and save you from having to hard wire it. Just remember, only one port is optimized for 2.1 amps! I have to go to Lowe's today so I might pick one up for the kitchen as my wife uses an old Toshiba tablet for recipes and that would be convenient for her.
I am in the UK so i would have to buy a UK version, but a lot of company's make products for more than one country, sometimes under a different name, but getting a charge that charges at full speed is not easy to find, they are a lot of brands that do not work.
Maybe i should look for iPad compatibility as apple products are notoriously hard to charge at full speed using third-party chargers.
Try the app below, and see what kind of charging speed you get, remember you will only get the fastest charge to around 80% then the tablet slows the current down lower and lower till it hits 100%
You have to manually presw the refresh the free version, the full version is only 50p in UK money.

Thanks for the info on the app! I went through flashing about 6 ROMs this weekend trying to find one that didn't cause such slow charging. Using this app, I discovered it was the cable I was using. I have two original Samsung chargers, and with good cables, they both change the tab at 1800ma. The old cable I had only showed 500ma.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/BlackBerry-...1434981326&sr=8-5&keywords=blackberry+charger
This is what I use, it was reduced to £1.95 so I got 4 of them. I will check it later with the app but it charges a little faster than the one that came in the box.
This is what I get from the charger I linked above.
GTCC, so you get 1108mah not that good, did you give long enough for the average to build-up.
John.
This maybe just a side comment but prior to buying a SM-T00 I owned a Nexus 10. I was going to buy a second charger for my Tab S but tried my Nexus 10 charger and it charges just as fast as the charger that my Tab S comes with. Maybe Nexus 10 OEM chargers are a cheaper alternative on ebay.

Dear experts,
I wonder why the 5X has no Qi feature, as the Nexus 5 had. Generally, I wonder, why most of the new phones relinquish inductive charging. Can someone tell me why?
Is the feature not demanded by the market / the customers?
Has it any other major drawbacks?
I mean, I know that inductive charging is slower and less efficient than wired charging (though getting more and more efficient), but I love this feature on my N5 and don't ever want a phone without it again. Cases featuring Qi are looking not so good in my opinion.
Can anybody give me the reason, why most of the new phones relinquish inductive charging?
Cheers
"...because Google thinks we are stupid"
I agree with that article. Not that people are stupid but wireless charging, as it currently is, really isn't worth it. The time and convenience you get with it is negated by the longer charging time. Plugging a type-C cable is quick and easy and much faster charging.

Qi charging is worthless MOST of the time. HOWEVER, when it is useful, there is NO EQUIVALENT.
Going to bed? Place phone on pad to charge overnight. Much less hassle and quick charging doesnt matter since there is plenty of time.
Sitting at work? Place phone on pad to keep charged. Easy to place and remove for meeting and quick charging doesnt matter since this is only for keeping it charged.
Car Mount: place phone on Qi enabled car mount = muss less hassle and more safety when you're doing something else.
Useless applications:
- airports (not enough time, slow charging)
- Coffee shops (same reason)

But it's more of a luxury than a necessity cause you have to purchase all those charging pads. And then it can't even charge at regular charging speed. In the car that's pretty useless especially if you use music and/or GPS going. You'll still drain your battery. Is it really that much of a hassle to plug in a cord, let alone, a reversible cord?

it's a luxury much like buying additional USB-C charging cables and adapters is, no different.
Qi charging can charge at 2A nowadays, so it would likely not drain.

Kind of but those cables are cheaper. Also, the first 3 Qi Wireless chargers I see on Amazon can use a 2A wall charger but all output only 1A. Lastly, in the case of the Nexus 5X, even a wired 2.4A car charger can't provide enough power to charge the phone while using GPS and playing music. But I think that's a temperature throttle issue.

Can't really prove this to you with data, but I use AutoMate on my N5X daily with GPS and screen on the whole time, in Texas, and the phone does not lose much charge, if any. Usually stays the same or increases by 2%-3%

Actually the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are probably the closest to your request. They are a wee bit larger than the N5.

Qi wireless car chargers go for $50 or more. Type-C car chargers are cheaper. Unless you know of a Qi Wireless QuickCharge for $15-$20.
Yeah QuickCharge wireless charging is "coming soon". "Coming soon" the key phrase and this was back in June 2015. And when that comes out it'll be more expensive than wired QuickCharge for sure. More than $15-$20 type-C wall chargers out already now.
There's a whole thread about the Nexus 5X not charging or barely charging with the screen on.

EeZeEpEe, I see u are an opponent of Qi. Have you actually ever tried it? When I got my N5, it was the first phone for me supporting Qi. I thought, this is a useless gimmick for nerds. But then I gave it a try. Since then I never ever charged my phone wired again.
I think I will go for the Galaxy S7.

Nope but I'm just saying that it's nice but not cheaper, faster, or that much more convenient. If it's the same price as wired, it's slower. If it's able to match the speeds of wired charging, it's more expensive. And with type-C reversible cables, plugging in isn't much of a hassle.
The GS7 will have type-C and wireless charging anyway.

My personal theory is that since the 6P is metal they couldn't use qi, and therefore couldn't let the budget 5X have a feature not in the premium model. Lack of wireless charging is why I held off on getting the 5X so long. I really hate having USB cables hanging around. Having a pad or two on a desk or night stand is much nicer. Hopefully it comes back in the next Nexus.

I bought a 5x within a minute of it going live on the Play Store. Naive fellow that I am, I was actually hoping against hope that it would have the same magnets in the back that the Nexus 5 has, so I could continue to use my Nexus-branded Qi charger.
I was shocked to find out that Qi was not supported at all. Instead, Google saddled us with a new-and-not-quite-ready-for-prime-time USB standard.
They tell us it's great because you can't plug it in the wrong way. Hmmm - a solution in search of a problem.
Faster charging? Again, this solves a problem I didn't have.
USB-C, for me, is just another proprietary cable. I do not own any other USB-C devices, and don't anticipate getting any in the near term.
USB-C cables: I bought C-to-A and C-to-C cables from Amazon before it was discovered that not all of them are actually compliant with the standard. I bought the wrong kind of cables. I could've gotten two or three more Qi charging pads for what I paid for those (useless) cables.
I know that for many following this thread, fast charging is goodness. I have no need for it, gimme back my Qi.

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.

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
Just wondering what wireless chargers everyone is using.
Seeing that the Pixel Stand is so expensive. I've opted to use my Samsung Fast Wireless charging stand as my main charger, but noticed that my old Nokia DT-900 charger (back from my Nexus 5) still manages to show "charging rapidly" on my Pixel 3, so I have it as an extra charger for my living room.
So what chargers are you guys using or what do you recommend?

I have a lot of Wireless chargers ( Nexus 4 wireless charger, energizer wireless charger, Samsung ) but none of them support 10W so I ordered ( Lenovo Fast Wireless Charging Pad W03 )

I couldn't get it to work. It looks like it's charging, makes all the little noises and displays, but the charge doesn't go up. I'll try it again I guess. I have so many USB c cords and chargers now that it's really never a problem. My laptop also has a usb c port for fast charge. I did notice the old Nexus charger got pretty warm so it kinda threw me off the wireless idea. Maybe on black Friday the Google one will go half off and I'll get it then.

Pixel 3 capability of 18W - what does it mean for 10W or 39W Qi chargers
Following up on a research.
I see lots of wireless Qi chargers, with advertised high wattage numbers. Also Pixel 3's battery array is advertised to support 18W speed charging.
Does it mean:
1. that 10W chargers are slower than what pixel 3 can handle ?
2. that 30W+ chargers are a waste of money?
3. should I look for exactly 18W chargers?
Also my 4 years old Duracell Powermat does not charge the pixel 3, I can't see why.
Last bit - if you use a charger that works, could you please link it from amazon/somewhere else please?
Thanks,
JD

The pixel supports 18w charging over USB.
The wireless charging maxes out at 10w.
Any charger over those power levels will be throttled back to meet the phone's requirements. You will not charge faster than the phone is capable of.
