What is a good power bank for the nexus 5x that can charge fast and hold a few charges?
I'll be camping next week and would like something for pictures and biking and hiking, and for pictures. Not in network but would like for pictures, will be running in airplane mode to save battery.
Any help would be appreciated.

Does it require USB type-C fast charging? Also, how portable do you need it to be? Very slim, pocketable, big but fits in a bag?

Doesn't have to be usbc, as slim as possible, it could fit in a bag.

Well the slimmest ones are about the same dimensions as the phone but thicker, 5000mah, and are usually only 1A. So that would only get you something like 1.5 charges at a slow speed.
I would go with something like a 10000mah capacity. Those are usually 2.4A and now support Quick Charging 3.0 making it good for possible future devices. It'll also get you a good 3 whole charges at a decently fast speed. It's also still relatively pocketable especially compared to the bigger ones.
I have the older QC 2.0 version of this paired with a short 1 foot USB-A to type-C cable:

It's on the short narrow yet thick side. I don't carry it around all the time but only when I definitely know I'll be using the phone a whole lot for videos/pictures. It's in the glove box most of the time for just in case.

I use the 10k mah xiaomi power bank. I think there is even a new version by now. I ordered it via banggood and I use a USB type a to c cable from aukey with it. I
have never managed to drain the battery within one weekend, it even lasts a full 5-day week with moderate - heavy use and I managed a full 7 days with my phone battery and the power bank. The latter of course with not so heavy use, but I was still impressed.

If you're using a type A to type C cable, it'll only charge at a 1.8A or 2.0A with 5V rate and not hit 3A mark. It might say "Charging rapidly" but actual numbers are lower than the stock charger. Basically, at 15% over 60 minutes (with the screen off and no use) you'll probably be around 70%. Stock gets you to 90%.

Got myself a Xiaomi 20.000mah powerbank a few weeks ago. Works very good and I am able to charge my phone around 5/6 times. The phone doesn't say 'Fast charging', but I think it is pretty fast. Would definitely recommend.
Used it camping for a few days, charged it up two full times, took about an hour to get to about 95%

Plain and simple but alot useful.
I am using Kingston Mobilelite Wireless G2 (I think there is G3 now)
Powerbank, SD card, USB, Wifi/LAN bridge in one.
I can stream music/video, copy files and charge at the same time.
I would recommend buying Xiaomi Powerbank 10000 mAh Pro - it's designed for USB-C devices and charges Nexus 5X really well.

Got this dock off of ebay (had a bit of money in paypal I want to use from selling my S2). Dock is decent, it doesn't have that great of a support for the device meaning it can still wobble a bit.
Another thing that has me worried is the 500mAh output stamped on the base. I know the Note 2 has higher output usb charger, haven't brought it home yet but will see if it affects.

Yeah, that's all. It will work. The OEM charger has several charging rates too, the lowest being 300mA. So this one will work the lower amperage just affects the speed of charging. There is a slight possibility of not charging the device while the device is in use with a lot of juice being pulled by the phone. But you'll probably be ok.

That's because the iPad charger doesn't have the data pins shorted out to enable fastcharge . Easiest way to accomplish fastcharge with your charger, is to buy a charging cable (data pins shorted out, so it is not a data cable:
http://dx.com/p/usb-male-to-lengthe...for-samsung-i9500-9300-htc-white-100cm-207353
It even has the lengthened micro usb connector the Nexus 7 needs.
Or maybe better, buy this one, found in another thread here on XDA, this one is confirmed to work in fastcharge mode with any usb charger:

Yes I know, and that's the reason the iPad charger won't work on fastcharge.
You need to either shortout the data pins of the iPad charger, or use a charger cable with shorted data pins ( a so called charge-only micro usb cable) to make the iPad charger use full capacity (fastcharge mode). There are also cable adaptors for sale that will shortout the data pins for you.

Yep, that one works because it follows the USB standard rules, and not the Apple USB standard.
No iDevice (iPhone/iPad) charger will fastcharge an android phone or tablet without modifying the datapins or use a charge-only cable / adaptor.
The Blackberry Playbook charger is known to work
Get an HP touchpad charger if you can. I can provide empirical evidence that it will actually charge your n7 20 minutes faster than the stock charger. I posted a thread about it here some time ago. "Best aftermarket charger ..." Or something like that.

That will do the trick - but you don't need another cable if you already have one.
I went with the charger without cable option and got 2 chargers for less than that price. Just have eBay sort the search results by price+shipping and optionally USA sellers only to find a better price without waiting for a slow boat from China.

If the charger puts out less than the tablet needs then it will just charge slower (or not at all if it's really low) and if it puts out more than the maximum the tablet uses the extra will just go unused. Voltage is a different issue.

Having your device plugged into a USB 2 500mA computer port obviously charges slower then a 2000mA wall charger. It would be pretty faulty design if plugging your device into your computer would cause hardware damage.
Man, this really sucks, the Monoprice cable mentioned earlier in this thread is having the same issue I had with another micro USB cable, it doesn't seem to fit into the Nexus 7 snugly, it doesn't seem to go in all the way. (I hope I don't have a busted charging port), It doesn't seem to charge it at all, even with the stock Nexus AC adapter. I'm about to break down and buy the official Google charger again, even if all I need is a new micro USB cable.
I'm using 2 different monoprice cables, one in my car and one at home, and both fit well. Sounds like the port has gotten damaged.

So, I just decided to buy a whole new charger off Amazon. If that won't work and I determine that the micro USB port is busted, I'm not going to be very happy, haha. does anyone know if Google repairs them for a fee?
I use a Playstation Vita charger which seems to charge my N7 very fast. On the other hand, I've tried an old mobile charger also and the battery level goes down whilst plugged into it.
If under warranty and purchased from the PlayStore, yes, otherwise, if under warranty, ASUS.
Hi everyone,
I just bought this car charger, hoping that I could get a faster charging inside my car, as it says at Amazon (and also in the pack of the product) that it works with android phones (Motorola’s ones as well).
Unfortunately, it seems it does not work with our Nexus 6.
Has anyone own the same charger and have similar troubles?

For our phones you need a Qualcomm certified charger that charges at 2amps 18w or higher.

But, despite not being a certified quick charger (Qualcomm technology) any charger should work anyhow whith the phone, right? I have myself plenty of old ones that works fine with the Nexus, but this one.

I have the charger and it works fine to charge the phone. The post that states you need a Qualcomm Quick Charge certified charger is also completely false. You only need that if you want to take advantage of the fastest charging rates possible, but other chargers certainly work just fine, and I RARELY use the charger that came with my phone to charge it.

How about a bit of clarifications... does not charge AT ALL? Or charges, but slow?
If it does not charge at all, then you need to make sure that it is actually making contact with the cig lighter plug. Does the charger have a light? If so, does the light turn on? Have you tried a different USB wire? If you've tried a different wire, and can confirm that it is getting power from your cig lighter plug, and it still doesn't charge AT ALL, then your unit is defective. End of story.
If it charges, but slow, then its working as expected.
It doesn't charge at all.
Tested again with an iPad and with a blackberry and it works normally with both. It just does not works with my Nexus 6...
BTW, my Nexus 6 works with other car charges that I have (an old Samsung one and a belkin too).

I got a new nexus 5x and I don't have the original wall charger.
I was thinking to charge it with the cable/wall charger that came with my 6p.
I was wandering weather it would be safe to charge with the 6p charger and if there are any differences between the two chargers.
Thanks.
They should be the same.
I am currently charging my 5x with my 6p charger with zero issues.
I had to borrow a coworker's 6P charger for my 5X and I charged to 100% w/ no issues.
I sold my 6p but kept the charger. used and compared it to the 5x's. they charge at pretty much the same rate. it just depends on thermal throttling and heat on how fast it charges. all good and nothing to worry if you ask me ☺

Look at the "what's in the box" in the Google store for the 5x and 6P. Both have the same 15W (5V/3A) charger listed.
There is no difference between the chargers.
So as long as the Watts, volts, amps are the same I can use any (non cheap) wall block? I have TONS of Samsung wall blocks and just bought 4 USB type c to a cords...still only have 1 wall block. Can I use the Samsung blocks?

Take a look at the article below. Yes, you can. However, it won't charge as quickly if it's a Samsung quickcharge charger. What really matters is that your cable is compliant. There has been enough talk on this board about that already.
Personally, I have four different chargers that I use. All work well.
1) The original one that came with the phone.
2) An old 1A charger from Samsung (non-quickcharge). Doesn't charge quickly. I use it over night.
3) A wall outlet with a 2A USB plug built in. Charges pretty quickly, but not as fast as the original charger, which puts out up to 3A.
4) iXCC dual usb 4.8A 24W car charger. Puts out 2.4A to each port and charges my phone almost as fast as the original charger.
