Nexus 5X car charger - Nexus 5X Accessories

Nexus 5X just announce yesterday, google said it support fast charge, 5V @3a, TOTAL 15W, but never mentioned if it support qualcomm quick charge 2.0 . Since the Nexus 5X use snapdragon 808, it suppose to support quick charge 2.0?
But anyway, since the nexus 5x use the type c port, the regular car charger won't work it, at least you need to prepare another type c cable or adapter. but today i will recommend a tronsmart type c car charger:
http://www.amazon.com/Charger-Tronsmart-Qualcomm-Certified-Technology-USB/dp/B0146FK3G0/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1443600918&sr=8-5&keywords=type+c+car+charger
With this car charger, you just need to plug and charge your nexus 5x directly, and it also offer another port which support quick charge 2.0. So if your family have the old nexus 6 or samsung s6 etc, they also can get quick charge.
Let me know your thought about this little cool car charger?

The problem with that charger is it doesn't charge at 5V/3A like the charger that comes with the phone (USB Type-C 15W (5V/3A) charger). The Nexus 5X and 6P do not support Qualcomm Quick Charge technology, so the Tronsmart charger will charge it, but not at full speed.
We need a car charger that does 5V/3A and uses USB-C. The only one I've run across so far is this one: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B014F2NQ36
I assume there will be many more options in the coming weeks.

Is that a reputable brand? All my aftermarket chargers have pretty much been either Anker or Aukey and I've had great success with them.

That's good to hear, I hope to see some Type-C 5V/3A chargers soon because I need/want tk change over most of my chargers from QC2.0 to the USB Type-C standard. I believe they would need to be Type-C to Type-C and not type a to Type-C in order to support the 3A at 5V which would make it even easier in the long run

Tronsmart said:
You can pay attention to our official website or androidpolice, driodlife, androidcentral, androidheadline. They are our media partners and will promote our new products with some coupons. The tronsmart type-c car charger(5V/3A) will be coming at the end of this month or the beginning of next month.

So do you have an answer as to whether or not a type-a to type-c can support the 3A? I just received my "Google USB Type-c to USB A Plug Cable" and am curious. thanks!

Tronsmart said:
Hey there, the correct terminology of the" type-a to type-c" should be " USB A to USB Type-c". So "Google USB Type-c to USB A Plug Cable" is as same as "USB A to USB Type-c Cable" Only different expression
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am just writing exactly what appears on the packaging from Google...
I don't believe you answered my question...can that type of cable somehow charge at 3A? Thanks!

Tronsmart said:
Sorry for my misunderstand. Only type-c cable can charge at 3A. You can pay attention to the their ports to recognize them.

Has there been confirmation whether the Vinsic that everyone rushed to buy doesn't also split the 3A between its USB A and USB Type-c?

Looking for the right car charger? LOOK NO MORE!

Ive came across this cool car charger and I wanted to share it with my fellow streakers. Ive been using this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d.html/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/180-9586428-1608559?redirect=true&ref_=oss_product&a=B003JP7GN2 all in one car charger and I must say I love this thing. It's small, convenient, and charges just about everything. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do. you'll thank me for this, thats a promise.
No ones willing to give this a try? Lol
It is nice, could you post the technical information such as input & output.
comon, its not a car charger !!!! its just an adapter. a car charger would consist of some thing you plug into the car and the other end would plug into the phone. let me know when you find a REAL car charger !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes it is, it's a car charger, mains charger, 9v battery powered charger but I doubt it outputs more than 500ma per usb port, the listing has no details on that.
I fail to understand how that plugs into my phone to charge it, WITHOUT using the cable that my phone came with ???????????
A REAL car charger for just about any other phone does not require the use of a data cable. Like i said thats just an adapter just like the one i already have.

I tried something similar to that, and it didn't work. It was a Griffin charger rated at 2.1 amps for the iPad. Not sure if that one is different since it isn't as specific as the one I picked up. I returned it immediately.
Yeah they have the one for the iPad too, its rated at 2.1 amps. Its like $28.88, this one is $12.88. Im sure if it didnt work, this one wont either. Thanks for the quick reply. I really need a car charger, Bestbuy didnt have any either when I got my Streak last Saturday. I updated it to 2.2 last night and its a totally different phone. I love it!

I can confirm that the Verizon one linked above me does activate quick charge. I haven't used it other than testing but it did get the same notification I get with the turbo charger.

$15.99
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XJ7OTS0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
This charger seems to be sold under different brand names, like Extsud, Ivoler. Seems to be the same device, so this is the least expensive price I found. Here's the Ivoler below, a few dollars more, but seems to be the same thing -- except it comes with a USB cable. I have plenty of those already!

http://www.amazon.com/Charger-iVole...ords=Qualcomm®+Quick+Charge+2.0+car+dual+port
Be careful! Some "dual port" car chargers have only ONE Turbo (Qualcomm 2.0) port, and the other is a regular port. Why? 2.0 technology is backwards compatible, will not hurt non-2.0 devices. So, silly for a dual port car charger being advertised as "2.0" to have only one actual 2.0 port in many cases. Read the descriptions carefully!
Both these (same device under two different brand names) does have TWO Turbo (Qualcomm 2.0) ports!

I guess I don't understand why you bought a dual port charger inferior to the one below and more expensive.
I specifically hate the dual port chargers that only come with one Quick Charge port. That makes NO sense. Both ports should be Quick Charge or nothing.
The one below has TWO Quick Charge ports, so no need to much around trying to figure out which is which. And the ports safely downgrade if it's not a Quick Charge device. You can charge a simple flip phone if you want.
And it costs less money.
Soon, all devices will be Quick Charge so you will need both to be Quick Charge anyway... When my wife rides in the car we both charge our Quark phones.
But again, if you plug a non-Quick Charge device into a Quick Charge port, it still charges just fine. So, no need to EVER buy a non-Quick Charge charger again.

Car charger for Galaxy Note 5

Hi guys, as we all know, the galaxy note 5 support fast charge aka qualcomm quick charge 2.0 technology, once you use the qc2.0 charger, you won't get back to the regular charger. It can charge your phone from 0%-60% in 30mins. Samsung give us the qc2.0 wall charger, however, if you are looking for some car charger which also support qc2.0, here is my recommend.
http://www.tronsmart.com/products/tronsmart-quick-charge-2.0-4-ports-rapid-car-charger
I find a review for note 5 and this car charger, check it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWwcobpbskk
Please note, only one port (blue port) support quick charge 2.0 for our note 5, the other 3 port can support up to 2.4A, which is enough for all of our electronics, including iPad.
The tronsmart chargers are certified by qualcomm, see the list here:
https://www.qualcomm.com/documents/quick-charge-device-list
and they are also qualcomm featured qc2.0 accessory brand, see the screenshot here:

so Safety and Quality is not a problem.
and besides this model, tronsmart also have other car charger from 1 port to 4 port. I want to mention the following two:
dual port car charger , which both port support quick charge 2.0, total 36W.
http://www.tronsmart.com/products/tronsmart-cc2f-quick-charge-2.0-and-voltlq-technology-two-in-one-car-charger
if you have two device which support qc2.0, then this is the accessories you are looking for.
three port car charger, which 2 port support up to 2.4A current, and 1 port qc2.0.
http://www.tronsmart.com/products/tronsmart-cc3pc-quick-charge-2-0-rapid-car-charger
In case you don't need 4 port in your car charger, you can consider this one.
Any questions, feel free to comment here.
Thanks for this. I always looked for 2.1 or 2.4 amp chargers. I didn't know about the other certification.

Yes, the other three port are all supporting 2.4A, the total watt for this charger is 54w , the most powerful car charger i have ever seen, and yes, the certification is important, because we don't want to risk our car with low quality car chargers.

What cable do you use with it. None of the "Samsung" cables on Amazon seem to be "genuine" and mostly get bad reviews.
Here is the latest car charger I received. As with the others I have reviewed this car charger supports QC 2.0 in both ports. I used it on a 3 hour trip. The charger kept my phone topped off even while using the GPS Navigation and listening to pandora. Check it out! Its 16 dollars.

I have a quick charger from Techmatte. It works really well for me, quick charging, and for only $10, you can't beat it.

I just use the cable in the package. I think it is enough and good to use.
I have the Choetech 2.0 car charger. It works good. I didn't even know they had faster car chargers until recently. I have 3 wireless chargers so my phone is usually always charged. I don't like wires but the 2.0 car charger saved me the other day when I was on my phone a lot looking for labor deals. lol I might give the 2.0 car charger to the wife and get a Choetech wireless car charger for me.

Hi guys, as we all know, the galaxy note 5 support fast charge aka qualcomm quick charge 2.0 technology, once you use the qc2.0 charger, you won't get back to the regular charger. It can charge your phone from 0%-60% in 30mins. Samsung give us the qc2.0 wall charger, however, if you are looking for some car charger which also support qc2.0, here is my recommend.
http://www.tronsmart.com/products/tronsmart-quick-charge-2.0-4-ports-rapid-car-charger
I find a review for note 5 and this car charger, check it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWwcobpbskk
Please note, only one port (blue port) support quick charge 2.0 for our note 5, the other 3 port can support up to 2.4A, which is enough for all of our electronics, including iPad.
The tronsmart chargers are certified by qualcomm, see the list here:
https://www.qualcomm.com/documents/quick-charge-device-list
and they are also qualcomm featured qc2.0 accessory brand, see the screenshot here:
and you also can find the information here:
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/quick-charge
so Safety and Quality is not a problem.

[Review] TechMatte USB 3.1 Type-C to Micro USB Adapter

Hey guys, just wanted to do a review on the TechMatte USB 3.1 Type-C to Micro USB Adapter! Since I don't have a standard USB to Type-C cable, I picked up a pack of two adapters. Though it's made of complete plastic, I feel it'll still be sturdy. It gets really snug with your micro USB cable and that's perfect, I've only been pulling buy the adapter when unplugging, don't want the connection between cable and adapter to become loose.

I give this product a 9/10! Only taking a point off because when I use it with my portable charger, if I use it one way, it'll say "Charging Rapidly", but if I flip it, it'll say "Charging".
Ask me any questions that you have!
I bought a pair of these on Amazon. I'd give it more like an 8/10. Reason being that the fit and finish of the assembly isn't perfect, at least on mine. They work fine, but they have a huge logo (companies need to market, I get it, but logos are often overkill) on each one.
I can't really complain, they do the job and they're cheap. Good simple way to get connected to your older cables, I guess.

I have these but be careful, they don't follow USB C standards. So if you hook an adapter USB A connector to some old legacy port on a pc or wimpy charger, it may try to draw more power than the charger or port can handle and damage it (the port or adapter, not the phone)
A Google engineer has been handing all these knock off manufacturers their asses on Amazon about it.

IMO we want out of spec cables. How else will we hit anything above the max usb A spec of 2 A? Just need to make sure that the chargers support 3A.
That's fine as long as they warn you that it's out of spec, which of course they dont. Standards exist for a reason.
If I were them, Id sell it as a "feature" and warn folks to make sure they use a 2.4 amp+ charger and not a usb 1 or 2 port.

Even with 2.4A you still risk a brown out and meltdown... albeit less so than using a 1A charger. But the risk is still just as real.

Oh right, *5V/2.4A. I was confused since it's rated 18W, which would mean more than 3A at 5V. Didn't realize it could work at 7 or 12 volts.

EDIT: Benson tested this one and says it is out of spec and he was surprised since the design has a fixed cable. Back to the drawing board.
No - that one is fine. The issue is a badly designed cable not adhering to allowed USB specs with a plug end that isnt USB type-C, failing to specify a pullup where it only charges at a rate that USB type-A or micro USB can handle (i.e. 2.4A max). If it tricks your phone to think you are connected to a true 3A source, it can burn out the charging source by pulling out too many amps. It works fine if you have a true 3A charger (which I have yet to see in any USB type-A format).
If a cable has the correct pullup to legacy USB standards, that would be equivalent to a safety valve for your charging device and it wouldnt be forced/tricked to push 3A.
So, for 3A charging, you need a true USB type-C cable at both ends going to a 3A charger (or direct mount). For any charging source with USB type-A, your known max is according to the old USB standard of 2.1A in most cases, although there are some type-A 2.4A options out there too.

+Mike Kendall As long as the cable you are using is spec-compliant with respect to the resistor identifier, meaning the cable identifies as a "Default USB Power" type, any USB Type-A charger should be safe.
If your question is which charger is best meaning will get you the best charging speed from an A-C cable to your Nexus, it's a much harder to answer . It depends on the wattage output of the charger in question, and whether or not the phone is able to negotiate with the charger to get that highest wattage level.

I see that the user TechMatte Inc http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=6510467 is currently suspended. That probably explains why the threads that they were giving these away in are gone.
Due to that I will most likely return these to Amazon and wait until an updated model comes out that is compliant with the USB C spec.
Wow I don't find that settling at that :/ I will ask for a refund

Contact TechMatte through amazon directly... They are about to launch a new revision of these with full USB-C spec, and will send out replacements for the old ones free of charge. I just contacted them and all they needed was my shipping address to send out new ones.
It's a pity they messed up the first batch, but their customer service has really impressed me thus far.

USB-C Charger replacement options?

I bought a Nexus 5x from the USA, but I live in the UK. I will therefore need to replace the wall charger when it arrives.
For my old Nexus 5 I use an iPad charger. This is fast, and adaptable, since I travel a lot, I can switch the figure of 8 input on the iPad charger to whatever country I am in, and it allows me to carry only one charger and switch between Nexus and iPad charging.
I realise that the old iPad charger will be quite slow to charge my new nexus 5x. I would like a replacement that is at least as dependable as my iPad charger, but with the usb-c standard. The perfect charger would have swappable plugs, like the iPad, with a usb-c AND standard usb 2/3 ports.
Any ideas?
Nobody found an alternative to this yet? Is it at least possible to buy a standard, genuine, nexus 5x charger with a uk plug?
Can't you just use an outlet adapter?

Well, I had a Moto X 2014 with quick charger and I lost it, so my replacement was the 5X. In order to keep my previous chargers I bought a micro usb -> Usb C adapter. It's works pretty well for both charging and data transfer and isn't that expensive and you can still use your previous charger.
http://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B018AM74KI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
Remember that the OEM charger has an output of 3.0A so you might use a big charger, like the one of an IPAD or S6.

From what I understand though, the old USB formats are not capable of delivering 3.0A. It has to be USB-C. Adapters will turn your charge to 2.5A maximum.
I might be wrong, but have read a few things that suggest this. With my official Google charger I can charge my Nexus 5x fully in about 30 minutes.

I already own an Anker multi port charger, and have just bought the new one which has 1 USB C port and 4 standard USB ports with a total out put of 40W. The USB C port is rated at 3A and charges my 5x quickly. The other ports are 2.4A maximum and I have had no problems charging several devices simultaneously, Its a little smaller than a cigarette packet and has the figure 8 socket for change of power lead when travelling.
