I'm looking for cables for charging and syncing my titan without the stupid adapters that come with it. I hate the combined plug for the headphones adn mini-usb. I don't want to have to tote around the adapter. Does anybody know where I can find these? I'd like a car charger, a sync cable, and maybe a wall plug charger. All depends on the price for what and how much I buy.
no adapter needed
You can directly plug the charger into the phone, the only reason the adapter has an odd shape is to keep you from plugging it into other usb devices.
I use my car charger from my 6700 with no problem.
I thought the same as you, then figured out you can plug mini usb directly into phone.
wow, I feel a little stupid right now, but just a little bit because that wasn't exactly obvious. I'm really happy about that now though. That means the only real point of frustration is having to use two adapters to get to normal headphones or buy a new adapter. I'm just happy I can car charge and use a normal synce cable with no adapter. Thanks man, that's a big help.
I wouldnt charge my mogul in the car cause its so much easier to weaken your batter when charging inside a car

Can you explain this? I'm an electrical engineer, so I should understand any reasoning that you know of for this. I would think that all the charger is is a DC plug with a regulator to keep it from going over the rated 3.7 volts. Is the current higher than the wall plug? I don't get how this would work?

Only thing I could think of is that it charges at a higher amperage and that in turn makes the battery hotter. I compared my HTC wall charger with the USB car adapter I use and they have the same current and voltage.
Everything I can find says that the only way we can "quick" charge is with the official OP Dash charger?
anything else we use will only do normal/slow charge?
As far as I know, this is correct. Dash Charge and Quick Charge are entirely different technologies that are used to accomplish a similar goal.
I believe that you can still use the QC charger, but as a normal charger. Just like Dash Charger when plug other phone in, it just turn into normal charger. But there is a potential problem here, Dash Charge works by pumping a lot of amps and keep the voltage the same, while Quick Charge doing it vise-versa, and QC is a technology develop by Qualcomm, meaning the SoC itself in the OP3/3T would support it, it just the rest of the hardware do not. If for whatever reason, the QC charger still provide more voltage than 5V, it could damage the phone. I don't know what is the max voltage the 3T can take before it get damage. If you want an official answer, get it from OP.
USB C plugs will work from what I've read, but nothing will quick charge but the Dash chargers--just normal chargers. Which is fine for me honestly, I use a regular charger at home (overnight) and keep the dash charger with me for work/etc where I need to pump juice faster.
That's dumb....I was hoping for quick charge 3.0 support plus dash charging. GAH! I might get a dash car charger then....I use my phone a lot. I like being able to charge fast while I use GPS. I use GPS a ton. And my new portable charger....QC 3.0.... That part of it is useless now.... grrrrr, but is this verified?
Maybe we all should contact Anker, and ask for Dash Charge support. What I very want is the multi ports car charger with at least one Dash Charge. But such charger do not exist anywhere.

Would love to see some 3rd party support.. in principle the idea of moving this function outside the phone seems appealing... but I hate only having 1 vendor to buy from... and I'm not even clear.. can I use the Dash charger to charge my non-OP devices? (ie. reducing the # of gizmos I have to travel with).

Yes but it won't "dash" charge them.
I asked the same sort of question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69856748&postcount=5
I've been using an anker QC 3.0 charger on the OP3T and it charges fine.
it doesn't get hot, doesn't say it's fast charging but it seems to charge at a reasonable rate nonetheless.

Thanks for that.
I'm interested in knowing if the voltage/amps/whatever are going to mess with the OPO battery that's not rated for the Q3.0.
Does anyone know if USB-PD charging would on the 3T? I ask this because as a nexus 6P user i have a number of charging accessories, and USB-PD is baked into the USB-C standard. So logic would dictate assuming the 3T conforms to the standard it should be able to charge at 5V 3A, which would be slower than dash charge, but quicker than the average charger.
Have a good one!
I have a 7 port anker usb3 hub that has 2 charging ports and a 2amp 12v wall wart. It charges just as fast as the OP3T charger. Full charge from 50% after work in under an hour.

Am I right in assuming that I can charge the phone with any old usb charger and usb c to a cable? Would like to be able to have a spare setup plus I travel to mainland Europe quite a lot so would need a different charger there.

Yes, it would be a problem if that weren't true.
So you are saying that I can (but won't get the speed)?

It works perfectly fine with the charger of my old ASUS Nexus 7.
Charges fine plugged in to the USB on my laptop at work, just a lot slower as you would expect.

using the old oneplus one charger shouldnt be a problem then right?
whats more healthy for the battery, dash charging or charging it slowly (old/different charger + random usb-c cable)?

Charging a lithium battery slower is always better.
Do you need to use a non-dash usb-c cable to use other chargers? I tried it with the dash usb-c cable but my old Samsung charger and powerbank do not work.
in general i also think its better to load with lower speed - therefore i bought a additional loader with 2A. But i read somewhere, that the DASH charging will not heat so much. How this should be possible if this is true?

Dash charging does not heat up the phone because the needed components for high-speed charging are in the wall adapter itself.

ah okay, so for batterie its better to charge slowly - but for the smartphone itself dash charge would be better? i guess i will load my phone anyway only if really needed with dash
I've just come over from a Samsung s8 plus that was unfortunately stolen without insurance and couldn't quite bring myself to fork out another insane price for another one. Purchased this OP5 carrier free @ my local o2 here in England (as i had a £150 voucher).
As a consequence, I have accumulated a large amount of both Quick Charge and Samsung adaptive fast chargers.
It seems that the OP5 charges very quickly on these which relieved me, I would say def on a similar level to QC 2.0 and the Samsung.
of course the Dash charge is just ridiculously quick.
i was reading that the OP5 does not support quick charge and only dash charge.
I beg to differ?

I'd be hesitant to use a QC adapter with the OP5. You're taking a risk of damaging the battery, or worse, the phone. There are most likely slight difference in the charging logic between the two adapters. I'd email OP support to get more info.

seems to work just fine, i doubt an adaptive fast charger will cause damage as it will act like a regular usb charger. will ask- cheers
Different charger wont damage anything people.
Lithium based charging system is more complicated as acid or Ni based battery, but simple.
1 rule for the power supply, it need to keep the power output the more stable as possible. So use high qality charger, samsumg are just fine. I'm using a HTC.
You can take any charger you want @ 5v. from 0A to 4A. You can use a 100A, but the phone will draw only waht it need, and the wire gauge will limit the power draw.
Let say the wire is too small, the voltage will drop, the chip will detect it and reduce the demand.
dash charging or fast charging are just brand name, the physics is the same. The power supply has a higher wattage, because the device can take it.
And the USB wire has a higher gauge compared at standard.
Use dash chager on a old phone, and you wont have any benefit if the phone draw only 700mA.
Or simply take a desk adjustable power supply, set it @ 5v4A, plug OP usb cable or any big gauge USB, and OP5 will show ''dash charging''.
Conclusion.
Depends of the voltage/amp/gauge, not the branding.
** BTW , even with cheap power bank, power supply or any supply, I really doubt it will damage anything. On my wife op3, we use any bank ( even the budwizer one), we plug it with iphone supply, 120voutlet with the usb option, dash, kindle supple, etc. annnnddd it still working juste fine. She has, ebay cable also.
Well all the stuff is in the charging brick on the dash charger. All the heat it's dealt with in the brick. That means the brick from Sammy doesn't and more heat then the phone could safely handle may do damage over time? IDK but the we all know heat kills electronics.
I use a quick charge (the one of got for my Nexus 6P) on my op5 but only at my couch so I pull it off the charger when full, don't let it sit on charge when 100%
You can let it sit on charge at 100%. Phone will disable charging anyway.
i actually think OP have stealthily allowed the qualcomm quick charge to work as it charges almost exactly as the s8 did on the sammy brick. i used a non quick charge old LG brick and that charged waaay more slowly.
honestly someone charge using a quick charge or sammy adaptive fast charge brick and tell me if im right or wrong ...

I only have my dash and 1 Sam qc brick rest are cheap but with dash block it obviously says dash charging, with the qc it just says charging, and with the 3rd party bricks it says charging slowly. So hope that helps
Just download an app like ampere and monitor the current using the different chargers, then you will see if it's more efficient or not.
It might charge quickly using those other chargers but the heat won't be transferred to the charger like it is with Dash charge
Likely it is QC2.. only with dash charger it will go further and faster
any 3rd party cables that are dash charge compatible?, read somewhere its based on the thickness of the wire ...

I agree a 100 percent with the above, you're right, people need to stop thinking high amperage kills a phone, just like all electronics: They only draw the amperage they need.

But this is just plain wrong, dash charging has nothing to do with QC quick charge. It's as different as it can be!
QC quick charge:
The brick highers the voltage to more than 10v. This way, less amps go through the cable, the the wires can remain thin.
(P=U*I) --- e.g. --- Power = Volts * Amps --- example: 5v * 2a = 10w / 10v * 2a = 20w
This way, you can have a greater power while the amps remain the same, while using a normal, thin cable.
The voltage regulator/BCM in the phone takes the voltage down to safe levels for the battery. This creates alot of heat inside the phone, which is bad for the battery.
Dash charge:
Dash charging transfers the BCM to the charger, little to no heat is generated inside the phone!
The BCM controls the flow to the battery by altering the voltage.
U = I*R --- e.g. --- I = U/R --- e.g. --- Charging amperage = Voltage / Internal resistance of battery --- e.g. --- When the voltage is pushed up, the flow into the battery gets higher.
Remember, this is all done in the power brick, so the voltage of the electricity going through the cable is lower (3-6v I would say).
This translates to a higher current (amps), So the cables have to be thicker! That's why dash charging only works with official oneplus cables (and some OPPO cables, but those are all Micro usb).
In other words, there is no way dash charging works with other powerbricks!
I hope this clears up all the misunderstanding surrounding quick charging techniques.
Cheers!

yes i agree but it seems like the OP5 allows qualcomm quick charge (or some form of it) to work as ive checked and a quick charge brick charges much quicker than a regular non quick charge brick.
this seems like great news as the phone has a versatility between both techs. makes commercial sense for OP to allow QC (albeit at the same level as a S8 from my experience) to work as their dash tech limits brick and cable usage.

Yes, you are right, it could be possible (although unlikely) that oneplus has adopted 2 fast charging protocols in the oneplus 5.
I was just saying it can't dash charge using a samsung adaptor/cable.
I you want, I can try to hijack some cable to read out the voltage when the oneplus5 is being charged with a samsung adaptor.
That would be very interesting to see !!
Can't seem to get it to charge as fast as the OP5 charger, will post ampere reading here in a bit.

That's impossible, read my post above to see why
I checked the voltage while charging the OP5 with a QC charger It stays at about 5 volts, so there seems to be no QC capability in the OP5.
There is no QC functionality for the OP5. Regular charging, just draws power like a phone with neither QC or Dash. You can still get a relative fast charge from a higher output brick. (output 5v 1.2a-2a) Higher the amps, the faster the charge. Of course this is dependent upon cable quality and charge logic.
Any car charger that works well with the v60? I saw some Anker but don't know what would maximize the charging speed for the phone. Thanks in advance
I use an Aukey QC3.0 charger in my vehicles, and it works plenty fine. It charges at about 2.5A, which keeps the heat down and is better long term for the battery. If you get one that charges 5A, you'll start to stress the battery and wear it out prematurely.

I'm honestly not sure. There may be, but I haven't bothered looking for them. Fyi, when I plug in to mine, it does register on the phone as fast charging. It's just not as fast as the 5A OEM stock charger (which I only used once to see what it can do, but otherwise stick to slower charge rates for battery health).
