Can you use a regular micro usb charger in place of a 3.0 cable?
Thank you for the help
Yes, no problem. In fact with my S5 there is only a usb 2 cable supplied.

Yup, you sure can.
Just an FYI: The USB3 cable is in fact micro USB as well. It's just the USB3 version of microUSB. The USB3 port on the phone is backward compatible, so a USB2 cable will work just fine in there. :good:
Yep it will work

So which will charge quicker the stock charger or my nexus 7 charger?
I think they are both 2 amp chargers. What is the advantage of the extra plug on the charger?

It's USB 3.0. You'll get faster data transfer speeds when plugged into a USB 3.0 port on a computer.

faster data transfer rate.
OK thanks.
So the charging rate is the same depending on the "block" amps?
I think the USB 3.0 charges faster even if it's still the same 2A charger

It would seem so, yes. In re: max charging amps, it seems that the S5, much like the Note 3, will charge only at 1200mA while the screen is on and 1800mA otherwise. See discussion here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...48184-galaxy-note-3-max-charging-current.html
To the OP, thanks for starting the thread... I hadn't even realized that the new Micro USB 3.0 connector actually was backwards compatible with the older MicroUSB 2.0 for charging!
Great link thanks!
Yep Confirmed!

Hi,
I was wondering if using a 2A charger with a normal Micro USB cable will charge my Note 3 as fast as the same charger with a Micro USB 3.0 cable?
Considering that USB 3.0 only delivers a higher output compared to 2.0 when plugged into a PC, I guess it makes no difference when using wall chargers?
Am I right ?
Thanks in advance,
Ben
USB from a PC will always be less than a dedicated charger whether it is usb 2 or 3. A 2 amp charger is what I use but also pay attention to the lead as some are far better at handling higher currents than others as I found out trying various leads whilst running the app at https://play.google.com/store/apps...=organic&utm_term=galaxy+charging+current+apk

The phone detects if you are using a wall or usb charger, the second is considerably slower. Some usb chargers cheat to seem wall chargers so charges much faster.
What if I use a micro USB cable that is attached to a wall adapter plug, will it still charge fast on note 3?

Charging is not depend on USB 3.0 or 2.0, it acts differently only while transferring data. Otehrwise for charging both works similar.
The stock wall adapter has 2Amp output and I’ve a power bank with same output and the Power Bank provided with a short USB 2.0 cable and with both it takes same time to full charge. So no issues with the cable.
I have a weird question that I've tried to search on here and on google but maybe I'm just wording it wrong!? But basically I need a longer cable. I would like to get a Type A to Type C cable and take advantage of the many fast/regular charging ports I have at home. However I'm worried about ruining the device's battery in the long run. I know nothing about chargers and all that so I could just be paranoid? Let me know what u guys think
Basically to sum it up, I'm wondering can i use the fast charging block I got from the nexus 6? I know what cables work but I'm wondering mostly about the charging block end of it
I don't know if USB A/3.1 cables are rated for 3+ amps. I've used a 2 amp charger with a usb A/3.1 cable to USB C and it worked fine, but don't have a 3 amp USB A wallwort or USB C to A extender to try with the one that comes with the nexus.

Wouldn't the 3 amp be pointless as the phone only has charging 2.0? I could be way off with that statement by the way lol
I've got this A to C cable, and I love it: http://www.amazon.com/Charger-iOrange-E-Reversible-Connector-ChromeBook/dp/B010VFFRCE
2m is a good length for me, and it works really well with my turbo charger from my Droid Turbo.
As far as a C to C that you can use with the charging brick that came with the 6P, this one would probably do the trick: http://www.amazon.com/TouchTonic-US...qid=1449102918&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+c+cable+2m

Thanks! The iOrange one is the same exact one I bought just now! I'm gonna use that cable with one of my Motorola fast chargers for the Nexus 6! Obviously it won't fast charge but it's good to know it won't harm my device!

Well the wall charger that comes with your nexus 6P outputs 3 amps.
And it does charge the phone a bit faster in my experience, than a 2 amp one does. I assume if the AtoC cable you got passes the tests and actually meets usb C spec it'll work fine with 3 amps though.

The 6p stock charger is rated 5 volts at 3 amps. So yea the phone was designed to utilize 3 amp current.
Source: I'm an electrical engineer.
Just to check, if I needed to a very long cord to charge with (I am happy to sacrifice fast charging for a longer cable) would using a regular charger (http://www.amazon.com/Cygnett-CY0355POGUS-Groove-Charger-Smartphones/dp/B00DMJ9U66/) with a USB-A Extension cable (http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Pro-USB-Extension-Cable/dp/B0002Y6CYM/) and then a USB A-C cable (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WJSPFOW/) be good or would that harm things?
Basically the Extension would plug into the wall charger and then the USB A-C cable goes from the Extension cable to the phone.

Ah good to know! Well at home I don't need fast charging so I'm gonna use the stock charger at work and the longer one at home! Thanks for the info guys

It has USB 2.0, which refers to data transfer speeds, which is a separate thing from the 3A charging.
With all the returns and obtaining of phones I've amassed a nice stockpile of Samsung fast chargers and a few Samsung USB C cables(and adapters).
I've read before that USB C allows for non standard use of cables by manufacturers so I'm wondering if anyone has tried or knows if it will be an issue using the said chargers/cables (yes I know the Samsung chargers are only QC 2.0 spec).
I have a QC 3.0 car charger I got from Aukey during a sale. I have some Aukey USB A to USB C cables too that work fine with my Note 7 too.
Trying to see if I need to slowly replace my Samsung chargers with official QC 3.0 wall chargers (will need at least 2)
Here at work I am using my Note 7 charger setup. Left LG flat cable at home.

Thanks for the reply, that puts me a bit at ease. I'll probably still get some QC 3.0 wall chargers but wait until I see a sale from Aukey for one.
Sorry. Side question.
What's the wattage for the US Samsung fast charger?

It's adaptive fast charger and does either 5.0v @ 2A or 9.0v @ 1.67A so 10w or 15w respectively
All QC are backwards compatible. QC 3 will know you are using QC 2 and charge at the rate of QC 2. If you use a QC 3 charger and have a QC 2 device the device will only draw QC 2. So you have nothing to worry about as long as they are QC compliant

I'm using a samsung galaxy s7 fast wall charger and usb cable and my mate 8 just sticks at 21% without budging. Is it the charger or the cable that is most important? I feel like it should at least charge some with this. Do I need a special USB cable just to charge?
You need a huawei fast charger!
QC 3.0 also does some good but not as faster as huawei original

Yes, you need an Official Adaptive Fast Charger Kit for Huawei Mate 8.

You can charge the phone using any usb charger. Quicker charging will only happen when using a Huawei fast-charge compatible device, of which there are not a lot but you don't need the original one for that as well.

Nope, any micro-sd cable will do.
Hy, I need to buy a USB Type-C to USB 3.0 C Data Cable Fast Charger (5A or 3A), perfectly working with Note10+.
I have seen a lot of cable, but I don't know if they work.
Have you found a working cable?
Thanks

These work well with the 45w charger: 60W/5.0A 10ft USB Type C to USB C... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MBG6772?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Then you are not going to get charging as fast as with the standard OEM 25W or 45W Samsung chargers, none of the clones have the same specs as the Samsung OEM units, they have an unusual specification to which the phone is matched. (And only Note 10+ takes advantage of the 45W version.)

I need USB c to USB 3.0 cable to connect the Note to laptop or to Android Auto and for charging with a QC 3.0 charger.
I am using a baseus qc 3.0, 5 ft long, I precisely bought it to connect the phone to my laptop, which lacks the usb C port, charges at 25 W and transfers data well, search for it

Beaseus cable has got only a trasfer rate up to 480MBps.
I have found a VAS-A47 Vention cable and it is the only that has got a transfer rate up to 5Gbps.
