Does anyone know if the charger/cable for the galaxy tab 7 will work for this?
I think they are both 5v - 2a.... But are the usb cables the same?

Never tried the charger but cable work when I bought mine, seller misplaced the cable and I had to run to Verizon store to get a cable and it was 7" tablet.
Cheers,
See my post here.
Hey Guys, wondering if there has been some update that has rendered charging from usb to micro usb useless? I have been pulling my hair out. I thought all my micro usb cables had gone bad, but then I noticed the HTC charges with no issues when I test with the same cables. I notice the Note 2 will now only charge with a brick type adapter. I use the HTC power adapter charger to use on the Note and it charges fine. My Note 2 is international and is rooted.
Can any of you guess what might be going on?

Nevermind.
I found it it was the usb ports on the surge protector that has gone bad.
Our stock charger works well and all, but does anyone know of a USB C QC3 charger? I just want to be able to use C at both ends.

I thought only Type A was officially supported for QC 3.0?

No, this is incorrect.
Q6: Does it matter what type of charging cable is used with a Quick Charge adapter?
A: Quick Charge is designed to be connector-independent. Quick Charge can be implemented with a variety of formats, including USB Type-A, USB micro, USB Type-C, and other proprietary connectors.
Quick Charge high-voltage operation is designed to minimize charging issues associated with long or thin cables, allowing for a superior charging experience, independent of cable type.

The reason most cables/charges are A is backward compatibility with older devices and cables as only new USB-C devices will come with USB-C cables so it's easier to have A terminals on the end for the widest variety of accessory compatibility.

This is the one I have. It powers up to 24w but the 10 charges at quickcharge 2.0 speeds lol.

I was a bit surprised to find out that the Pixel 2 doesn't come with a transfer cable, and the only adapter is USB-C to USB-A. Luckily I still had mine from the original Pixel XL, but it was odd that Google didn't include one. Just a heads up for those who haven't received there's yet
That adapter allows you to use your old charging cable to transfer. Adapter into the Pixel 2, old charging cable into adapter and into old phone

I was surprised as well to see no USB-C to USB-A cable included. I also used mine from my original Pixel XL, but Google's cables are of such high quality that I would have loved to have another.

Correct, but this post isn't really about the adapter. It's about Google including one less cable versus last year. The original Pixels included the adapter, a USB-C to USB-C cable, and a USB-C to USB-A cable. The USB-C to USB-A cable is not included with the new Pixels.
And like the new Pixels, some phones these days only come with a USB-C to USB-C cable. The included adapter doesn't help in that situation. Very few devices fall into that scenario, but it still could happen.
The original came with the adapter too? I don't remember that

It did indeed. I've used it frequently for USB OTG.
FYI, you cannot use a normal USB-A cable and the C-to-A adapter and connect your Pixel to a PC. It will not allow you to charge or connect to transfer files.
Really sucks, because I used this at work a lot with my original Pixel XL. Something changed with the new hardware and it prevents you from doing it. Luckily, I also have the original C to A cable that came with my XL.
Definitely a bummer for someone going from iPhone to Pixel 2. Now I have zero cables I can use to charge my new phone in my car. I left Apple because I was tired of being forced to buy extra things to do basic stuff so a little irked that I need to buy a special connector for car charging. Anyone have recommendations on a good cable that will actually work for both charging and data transfer?
They replaced it with the headphone cable.

There are heaps of good USB C to USB A cables out there. If you need one you can buy the google one from their store. Would have been nice to get one in the box, but I still have 3 lying around that I've used for previous type C phones.

So which third party USB C-A cables support the full 18W charging capability of the Pixel 2 besides the overpriced one from Google?
Edit: I found this one which supports USB 3 and up to 3A, if anyone is looking.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KX8A2OW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3SVXSHXC5D9W1&psc=1
No USB A-C cable supports 3A charging unless it is out of spec. Google's A-C cable does not support 18W charging.

Do not use a 3A legacy cable to charge your phone, or you may risk damaging something.

Well the cable that I linked does have a 56kΩ pullup resistor, so it should adhere to the USB spec to prevent any damage.

Has anyone tested it to make sure it does though? I've seen several reviews from Nathan/Benson for cables that claim to have a proper resistor but don't.

Not sure if there is a way that I can test this.

I literally just got the cable today and noticed it's only saying charging. It should say "rapid charging" if fast charging is work correct?
Anyone confirm of a A-C cable that actually can fast charge?

I bought that and have 2 of them here. Nice cables! I can transfer data fine with them.

I did bring up Accubattery and it will only charge at 1a even with a 2.4a charger, which is disappointing.
I received my phone yesterday and found this to be very annoying. I have a few questions:
-Is the USB-C on this phone 3.0 or 3.1 spec or just 2.0? I just assumed all these new phones had 3.0+ speed
-According to google store, the cable that comes with this phone is 2.0 spec ($20 effin dollars?). Is there a 3.0 spec cable that will work?
-Are there any third party cables out there that will fast charge and have 3.0+ spec? (of course 3.0 is pointless if the phone itself maxes out at 2.0)

I picked up this one, it has not come in but it is USB-IF certified, so there should be no issues.

I searched and searched a week ago and couldn't find any!
There are dual usb-c but none that will do PD two at a time. https://store.google.com/product/usb_c_dual_port_charger
