Confirmed fast charging longer cables?

Those who have their phone know the cable on the fast charger is 1 meter, which is not long enough to reach any table youd ever have a plug next to.
I tried two different type C -> Type C cables and neither would fast charge with the included wall wart.
Anyone find a longer cable that fast charges with our plugs? 2 meters would be great.

It's tough sledding hacking through all the different Amazon.com listings to get something with an actual USB 3.1 and 3A rating for a 2m cable. The ones I;ve seen are either out of stock, take forever to come from China or overpriced in the $25-30 range. Would love to hear from anyone that actually found one too.

I bought a type C to A from amazon for the computer and it charges rapidly on all my wall chargers down to 2.4 amp.
Monoprice was out, otherwise I would have ordered there. >>> http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13010
this is what I'm using, fast charges and mounts no problem.
http://tinyurl.com/oyahw4h amazon link
I would bet this will work. same brand as what I have, they have a real thick jacket on them. It's a good cord.
http://tinyurl.com/oyahw4h amazon link
edit, I just read the description on amazon for those cords
....Note for Nexus 5X/6P: In order to ensure FAST CHARGING, please ensure the charger can output 5V/3A. The cable can afford 3A current did not mean it can provide 3A. We recommend use Google official USB Type C charger with our USB C to C cable...

That monoprice page is goofy.. title lists it as USB 2.0 and then the description goes on to talk about USB 3.1

Monoprice 2.0 six foot c to c cable charges just as fast as the 3 foot cable that came with the phone. High quality stuff. The phone doesn't support higher than 2.0 anyway.

USB 2.0 refers to the data transmission standard and really nothing to do with charging amps. Although, to be USB 3.1 compliant, I think the cable needs to be fairly stout to handle the increased loads in both data speed and charging power. My guess is this cable is in fact 3.1, but someone made a mistake updating the title.

I understand that. Monoprice's 2.0 c to c cable supports up to 3A. No point in spending almost double the price on the 3.1 cable..

What I am saying is that it is hard to even trust the 3A rating with the conflicting statements on 2.0 vs 3.1. Do you have the cable and have tested it? That would be different.

Yes I do have the cable. Monoprice has that 3.1 description on all of their type c cables for some reason. The 2.0 3a cable works just fine.. I just went from 49% to 82% from when I went outside to winterize my boat and when I just went back in to check my phone, not sure how long that was, but a pretty short period of time. I usually put it on the charger when I turn on the TV at night and take it off when it hits 100% before I do to sleep.

I ordered this USB A to C one, http://.ebay.com/itm/261840366171 . The phone says Charging Rapidly. I have not done any data transfer with the computer, but upon plugging it in, the computer detected it ok. It ships from the US, but took a little while with standard shipping. Maybe almost a week;

just got some usb-c to usb-a 3.1 cables from techmatte this coupled with my Insignia 5v 2.4a charger from best buy are giving me a "rapidly charging" icon on lock screen

It might say rapidly charging but I doubt it's as fast as the stock charger. I've used a USB-A to type C cable, got rapidly charging, but it was only max 1800 mAh as opposed to the 2800+ with the stock one.

I dunno about that. I have used a couple 2A Samsung USB chargers with type a to c cable and my phone charges almost as quickly as the stock charger at least in regards of empty to full. I think the difference between the stock and alternate high amp chargers that are around 2A is how quickly it can do a partial quick charge from say 0 to 50% but from 0 to 100% I haven't noticed much of a difference.

I got one of his cables to review... I got it to charge 2.2A + using a 2.4A charger. But I do think you are correct in that there probably isnt a 3A option with anything using USB TYPE-A. 3A seems to be the realm of pure USB TYPE-C.

I purchased this cable and it charges at the same rate as the short OEM cable supplied with the 5x.

That's really odd. Mine registered fast charging immediately. I tested with Ampere multiple times and received the exact same reading with both cables.

Portable charger with built-in type C and C-->Micro adapter

hi all. wondering if anyone has seen either of these products?
1. A slim portable charger that has a built in type C charger...basically something like this: http://www.amazon.com/LinearFlux-Portable-Charger-Micro-USB-Devices/dp/B00L3MNYV6 (but with a type C and not micro usb). I don't even need to be super fast, but bonus points if it can still charge rapidly.
2. An adaptor that is female type-C to male micro-usb. Most adapters I've seen are the other way around (and yes, I'm still waiting for one to be certified by Benson). In my case, I'm looking to carry the Google charger (https://store.google.com/product/usb_c_charger) with me. However, I'd like to able to charge other micro-usb devices with that cable and not carry another charger (eg work blackberry, portable battery pack that has a micro input slot, wife's Note4, etc).
Thanks everyone!

Ok, seriously, the MOMENT you get this thing please post results. It says 3A under the type C port and that is EXACTLY what I am looking for if it does actually charge our phones at 3A.

Agreed. Looks really promising, but I'd still love to have a smaller, thinner one with a built-in type C cable...Thanks for posting though, I will definitely look into it.

Just got it! Works awesome. I would say, it's as big as a phablet, twice as wide. It does charge rapidly with the Google USB type C cord that comes with the phone. You can charge this using a micro USB, or the included cord that came with the phone. It's a bit on the heavy side, but I need the juice to last me since I'll be in the woods all weekend long for the big hunt. Overall, it does what it says. I'm happy with the purchase.

That is big but that is a lot of juice. Probably 4 charges easily.

I've got it and it's not small but is very good. with the 5x you could probably get close to a weeks worth of charges out of it

Amazon is best place to buy any product.

Although it does not precisely fit the OPs request, Anker have released a 20100mAh pack with USB C http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00M0EWED0 I thought it worth posting as packs wit USB C are so thin on the ground so far.
Looks like max charge rate is 2.4A per port not the 3 we might have hoped for. This is the same rating as the Micro USB version of this pack I already own. The USB C has improvements such as metal construction and faster recharging of the pack using the USB C for input. Not enough for me to upgrade.
There were two smaller power packs with USB C listed on the Anker website recently but these have disappeared from the coming soon page

I just got mine and its also reporting a full 3amp charge. Its also fine with charging from the type C as well apparently so it can reuse your existing charger (it says micro in but you dont have to use that one).
Its a big heavy beast but its got a lot of range so this will work for camping and traveling. Now I just need to find a compact one (preferably with an integrated type-c cable) for a booster when on the motorcycle.

Ive just looked up the Anker USB C pack on their website again, Although it is not made clear in the product description, someone has asked about charging a N5x using the C port and the answer from the Anker teamQ+A is that the C port is 3A after all.

Thats great news, I am a bit of a fan of Anker products, I hope they do produce a smaller USB C pack in time.

I want that too. Id love a small like 3-4k one with the cable built in like Anker makes for micro SD just for using a spare while on the motorcycle but I am glad I picked this up. Its great for long-distance trips and can charge multiple devices without noticing.
Unfortunately I did notice one shortcoming, while it charges my N5x rapidly the charging of the Nexus 9 is horrifically slow, like .5amp slow. For some reason it must not be communicating properly with the tablet to do the full two amp charge.

Yup. Using it now for a micro-usb car charger, but tested it with couple of wallchargers also. It was nice package cause it had two adapters on relatively small price and nice look. Got the silver adapters to match the OP3
I also got 2m type-c cable from Vandesail also, works with wallcharger like a charm.

is this http://www.amazon.in/OnePlus-USB-Ty...scsubtag=938d8938-8a24-4438-8ae0-22cc28b73eb5
good ? or any other good alternative

Hmm seems that the Vandesail adaptor worls only if inserted "backwards"
Seems odd because I thought Type-C plug is flipable. Have to try the adaptor on different kinds of setups.

Just because something isn't compliant with the spec does not make it inherently unsafe. It just means it does not comply.
For example razor makes their usb ports using green plastic to match their brand, this means they are not compliant with the standard colour coding, does it make them unsafe, no.

Those listed adapters/cables are not just "judged" by their look. they are tested and are found insafe for nexus P6 use.
I don't know if they are safe to use for our OP3, there is a chance they are cause OP3 uses usb-C 2.0.
however, I'm only using adapters/cables who are 100% safe. why take the risk?
Please read some more about Benson Leung , and you will understand what I mean.

USB-C limited to USB 2.0 transfer speeds?

I have tried 'A1 SD Bench' to test my Note 8 with a 512GB Samsung T3 SSD.
The best results I can get is:
Read: 33.42MB/s
Write: 35.57MB/s
I have tried the following connections:
- Direct USB-C to USB-C
- Note 8 <-> USB-C all-in-one hub <-> USB-A to USB-C cable <-> Samsung T3 SSD
- Note 8 <-> Original Samsung USB-C to USB-A female <-> USB-A to USB-C cable <-> Samsung T3 SSD
Any ideas how to get full USB 3.1 transfer speeds?

It charges slow but it's very consistent at temperature management. The device does not heat up like the ones using other fast charge technologies. I just read a comparison article and Samsung's version is definitely not the fastest, but it's definitely one of the cooler ones.

The OP isn't asking about charging speed, he's asking about data transfer over USB.
I have USB 3.0 and 3.1 type A ports on my desktop PC and using a 3.1 Type C to Type A cable it's very clearly much faster than using the cable in the box, which does appear to be usb 2.0 wired.

Yeah I rarely use my phone when it is charging. I use pushbullet on my computers so I wont miss a text or call. I compare the charging speeds of Note 8 to the Note 4 in the morning charging. The Note 8 will not be charged in an hour whereas the Note 4 easily did it. Sorry OP. I'm done.

That brings the question: how do you tell which cable is really wired for USB 3? And what's the difference? Wires have to be the same, is it just shielding? I would imagine due to higher frequency, if signal is not clear it would negotiate lower transfer rate?
I have couple USB wires from Note 7, maybe those are better made?
And is the phone really capable of accepting data anywhere near full USB 3 speeds?

I found an article that states USB-C hubs downgrading speeds to USB 2.0 so I guess thats one of the main reasons the DEX is also limited to 2.0 speeds.
https://gtrusted.com/samsung-galaxy-s8-seems-to-downgrade-usb-3-1-hubs-speeds
I however cannot get USB 3.1 speeds even when using a direct USB-C to USB-C link.
If the Note 8 is not capable of utilizing the full speed of USB 3.1 speeds then I'm quite disappointed.
One of things I really wanted to do was backup DSLR pics from SD cards to SSD rapidly without a laptop whilst on travel.

Are you using a 3.1 capable cable?

It turns out the USB-C to USB-C cable I got is not usb-3.1 spec:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/B06Y4N4K9Z
The USB-C to USB-A cable I got that came with the Samsung T3 SSD is definitely USB3.1 spec so Samsung USB-C to USB-A female adapter is probably USB2.0 speeds.
And according to the article going through a hub also limits the connection to USB2.0 so I'll either need a new USB-C to USB-C 3.0 cable or USB-C to USB-A 3.0 female adapter to do further testing.

Best USB - C Cable for Note 8?

Heyy guys. Can anyone suggest some good USB type C cables (3rd Party) which supports Fast Charging for our Note 8?
Do include those which comply with USB Type-C standards/ are compliant cables and are USB IF Certified.
Also please tell me how much maximum current does our Note 8 supports with Adaptive Fast Charge (QC 2.0).

You will not find anything that charges your phone faster compared to the cable and charger that comes with your phone.
I'm using a USB 3.1 Type C (Gen 2) cable together with the Anker PowerCore Speed 10000 QC which is a QC 3.0 charger and it doesn't charge any faster compared to the cable and charger that comes with phone. Both take about 1:30 to charge the phone from 20% to 100% while having the screen turned off.

By exact search term if u mean "USB Type C Gen 2 Cable" then I have already tried that but did not get any fruitful result. That's why I asked you to tell me about it.

I have this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01L...ker+type+c&dpPl=1&dpID=511f-4aaDiL&ref=plSrch and its one of the best cables out there. You can tow your car also [emoji13]

OK. This isn't funny any more :'(

Take look at this cable which is gen2 and USB IF certified USB Type-C to USB-A Male 3.1 Gen2 Cable - 3 Feet (0.9 Meters) - Black.

I have Trilink braided USB-C 3.1 cables, they work perfect and my phone charges the same as with the OEM cable that it comes with.

I have these also and seem to do it for me. I know on the V20 you needed to make sure it had the 56k ohm resistor. Does this hold true for f2f he note 8 as well? I know some usb c cables don't have it
