OK, so I picked up a charger that should have worked with our tabs; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005QZ8BDC/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details.

It's a 2.1amp USB charger, pretty much as same as our stock chargers, though marketed for the iPad. I wanted to get it because I so dislike how the stock charger wobbles so much when you plug it in, since you have the area around the base of the plugs raised up from the rest of the charger; it can't really lay flat against the outlet. That, and the fact that it has folding plugs, making it easier to toss in my bag (why did Samsung design something as clean and attractive as the 10.1/8.9 tabs, then give it an ugly and unsteady charger?) It looked like a perfect solution.
Only it charges no faster than it does from a regular USB port (if you have a kernal capable of supporting USB charging). Surfing the web will eat up power faster than you can charge. It charges my SGS2 just fine, though, pretty quickly I might add. Is there a different pinout with the stock charger?

I purchased the car charger from the eBay seller Yourcharger. I have had it for 3 weeks. It works very well. It charges just as fast as the factory wall cable with the factory cord would. It is far better than paying for dell's car charger. I also have his USB cable for the streak and it is excellent too. Having a 6 foot cable makes it alot easier to talk on the phone while it is charging. I recommend his products when it comes to the streak. The quality is excellent and the product works just like OEM.

Yup, i have the 6 foot cord and it works like a champ. I do not need the car charger as my wife got me thw car kit as agift.
Using a wireless charging receiver only works on my Moto X but will not work on my parents? The receiver plugs into the micro USB. Theirs is stock and mine is unlocked/rooted.

500mA seems kind of low. Depending on the settings in the phone (screen brightness, apps running, etc), it might just not register as charging if the draw is higher. I've used older chargers for other phones that sometimes don't even register, or won't actually charge the phone if it is on (drains faster than the charger can supply new power).
There's more running on my phone than my parents. It is recognized by all my other devices, Nexus 7, Nexus 10, Galaxy Note 2, and Galaxy Note 8. It seems like it wouldn't work on the tablets because of the mA rating but it does. I don't get why it doesn't work on these phones in particular.
I've been tracking this cable since I first saw them on Kickstarter and got a pack today. The idea here is that this micro USB cable is reversible just like the USB "C" type. Basically there's no more flipping it over and back and then back again to get it to plug in. The way the micro USB cable should have been designed from the start. The best part is that "fast charging" feature still works with the cable plugged in to the stock Samsumg charging base. I just confirmed this on my Tmob S6 Edge.
Also cable works just fine with Spigen Neo Hybrid Series case.

You can buy znaps also if you don't mind waiting a little bit.
I received this a while back for review and wanted to share this to the community. This is a typical micro USB cable that has a build in monitor that gives you information on the Voltage come out of your charging brick, and how much Amperage your device is receiving. It works really well and is solidly built. This even works with my Fast Wireless chargers. The monitor provides a wide voltage of 3.6-20V and current measuring range of 0.1-3.0A, however it only does 480mbps transfer speeds if you use this as a data transfer cable. Price is a little higher than others, but the build is so much better of stuff I used before this. Its great if you are trying out different chargers and charging bricks. Also, would be perfect for the Pixel XL since its the most finicky device with voltage and amperage.

I'm a little bit tired of the stock one because it's too short for me. I don't know why but I everything I think it's a good cable, it's too expensive. I would like to find a 2 meters cable which is resistant and will work properly.
I'm currently using this one:
USB-C 3.0 Cable RAMPOW Braided Fast Charging Type-C Cable (6.5ft/Space Gray)
https://www.banggood.com/BlitzWolf-Ampcore-Turbo-TC10-3A-Durable-USB-Type-C-Charging-Data-Cable-p-1188424.html?rmmds=search&cur_warehouse=CN
this one is awesome, very durable and fast charging
I always use aukey since the first time i use mi5, that cable still works until now
