Will the USB type-C cables work with any USB port and USB wall charger? If I can get away with ONLY buying cables, that'd be nice.
Yes, if you buy USB-A (Legacy) to USB-C Cables. However, you (obviously) won't get fast charging from your other adapters.

So I need a "6P fast charger" for fast charging? Otherwise it's normal charging? Or will my N6 fast charger work (minus the cord obviously)?
Correct. The N6 uses Qualcomm 2.0 which is different. However, if you want fast chargers, you can buy quality aftermarket chargers (like Choetech on Amazon) for much less. Also, be careful on which cables you buy (a lot of bad ones out there) REGARDLESS of whether you buy A2C for normal charge from your old charger's, or C2C for new (fast) chargers. Again, Choetech's are good/aprooved, but there are other good ones if you search.
If you're looking to get the fastest charge, go with a C-C cable and premium Type C charger. This should allow 3.0A 5V of power delivery.
I just need extra cables at this point. One for my car charger and one for work. What cables off of Amazon would you guys recommend? Nothing crazy expensive..

Here is the the spreadsheet, so just go ahead and take your pick. It has pricing too, so you should be good to go with this.

Agreed, and the Choetech I reccomended (with Choetech cables) puts out 2.95A, which is about the same as you get when you measure the Google charger.
Choetech cables were tested and approved by a Google Engineer:

These are what I use. But any in the above spreadsheet will work.

Just go with any of the C-A cables on the spreadsheet that are approved. You can use any of your qualcomm charges to do 2.0 amps, but will need a 2.4A charger to get 2.4A current.
If you want a 3.0A charge go with a C-C charger.

This is a collection of reviews of products sold on Amazon which have been tested for compliance with USB specficiations: https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/s0Inv If you find a cable you wish to purchase, I would recommend researching it in that G+ collection, here on XDA, or (failing all else) check the Amazon reviews to see if someone tested the cable to ensure it is compliant with USB specifications. If you can't find that information in any of those locations, I would probably skip purchasing it.

I assume that you're referring to my post. Yes, I have found a few reviews stating that it isn't compliant and I know I may be taking a risk. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find that cable on Benson's list. I got it because with the discount, it was free. I don't use it very often, but I'll keep an eye out for anything unusual while doing so. I also didn't say that he should go for that cable, I was just sharing information about one of the cables I have.
At home I use the stock power adapter and cable, and in my vehicle a Nektek branded one found here. This particular one I don't believe is on his list, but two others are, so hopefully this one follows suit. It does rapid charge, which is nice.
I'll update if anything runs afoul with my Nexus 6P and LaoHe cable pairing.

I keep getting a red X Through my battery when plugged into my laptop to charge, is this normal? I really dont want to plug into the wall to charge
Really hope this doesn't become the case and that it will charge off of any USB charger...in particular like the one in my car that accepts USB Devices.
My friend has a galaxy and has the same issue, idk if its our laptops or what
Okay this has been address. please search but ill answer for you.
This device uses 5v 2a to charge. Hence the wall unit. you computer is 5v 1a or 1.5a (its not enough)
The device will maintain and in some cases when screen off slowly charge when plugged into computer or usb adaptor with the red "x" through it.
you can find a usb adapter cable which has a switch to allow you to charge while connected to a computer. its a data and charge switch. search for it. i think its on ebay.
also you can find on amazon or google shopping wall chargers for the p1000 which work for like 8$

Having this Y-cable will also help with the fact that the USB cable that came with the tablet is so sort. I have a lot of 5V power supplies around but they are all from 50ma to 1a. Can't believe this thing needs to much power to charge, I would think that 1a would be enough just to maintain it when in use.
OK, I got a couple Y/Split cables and I still have red X when plugged into two USB ports, I even tried two ports that are on different controllers... as well as two USB3 ports in my laptop. I even tried my desktop. No luck.
Has anyone gotten this to work?

The red x will show up if you are charging with anything under 2A. If I remember correctly usb 1 puts out 100ma and usb 2 & 3 put out 500ma. Even with a Y adapter you will only get 1A. If the screen is off then you will charge the battery however with the screen on, you are using the same amount of power that the usb is providing. Therefore the x because the battery is not charging.

To be clear, I am using a 10.1v not a 10.1 - there could be differences, but I doubt it.
They have the right chips. I read the actual quick charge 2.0 will charge faster than the fast charge the phones come with. But then I thought, since the chips are there, would some simple mods make this work?
delete this someone ......answered my own question
Hmmm... interesting question...
When thinking back to how certain kernels could enable faster charging when connected via USB to pc, maybe this is possible...

Quick Charge by Qualcomm ups the voltage to as high as 12V, I believe. The fast charging in the new Nexus line is at a constant 5V. If the phone's internals (which goes way beyond just having a Qualcomm CPU) is unable to handle increased voltages, well... I'll remind you that lithium is a reactive alkaline metal. Burns and skin grafts hurt.

Ah, yes, I see what you're saying. I just read the spec docs from USB.org about it. Type-C is truly defined outside of the USB 3.1 specs. The USB 3.1 spec sheet makes no reference to Type-C in section 5.2.1.
Haven't made it through the type-c spec doc yet. I'll keep reading.
I have the Anker PowerPort 2 that has a max of 2.4 amps per port and a Nekteck USB Type C to Type A cable (that's tested and approved by Benson). When trying to charge, the max mA that I've seen is around 1550mA.
Why is that? I was expecting around the max of ~2400,mA
I actually ordered this exact combo on Amazon, curious to test it myself.
Are you using Ampere to measure? If so, before plugging in the cable, you need to note the discharging rate (some negative mA). Then plug in the phone and note the charging rate. You have to add the two numbers together to get the actual amperage from the charger because Ampere can only measure the overall system in/out amperage. So if you were doing something really intensive and plugged into a slow charger, you may see it say "Charging" but have a negative number!

I forgot to mention that stuff! Yes, I am using Ampere and discharge is around -150 to -300mA. The average discharge rate and average charge rate added together (around ~1800mA) still comes up quite a bit short. Hope the combo works out for you. Or at least confirm my findings.

Huh... I wish that Google engineer would clarify things. Myself and others have been discussing the Type-C spec over here and the documents seem to indicate that a Type-A to Type-C cable that has the proper identifying resistor would be limited to drawing 1.5A. I'm hoping I'm wrong.
Also, try measuring the discharge for a minute or two. I've seen mine settle in around -1000mA if I let it sit awhile. But then, I don't know if that's accurate...
Man, this is such a mess. I got an Aukey 12W / 2.4A Home Travel USB Wall Charger just to see if it there was something wrong with the Anker charger. Nope. The Aukey floats around 1600mA too...
For good measure, I used the supplised USB Type-C to USB A cable - same charge rate. Then I used the charger and C to C - that floats around 2700mA.
Are there any 2.4A chargers that actually charge at that rate?!?!
The USB standard for an in spec Type A to C cable will charge at 1.5A. Only a type C-C will charge at up to 3A. Please Google/search the forum next time before creating an OP. It doesn't matter if you use a Type A to C cable with a 5V. 4A charger it will only give you 1.5A by the USB charging standard. If you use a C-C cable you can get the Max rate

Yes but he goes on to say in other reviews that the USB A-C standard dictates the output of the cable.
As discussed thoroughly in 2 different OP's which you can find below.
Here is a quote from @Elnrik
"No, when I say proprietary protocols, I mean protocols. Not physical wiring. As in "2.4A, which is negotiated over a BC1.2 protocol like CDP or DCP, is appropriate over the Type-A connector." and "By the way, the maximum current of 1.5A is defined by the BC1.2 specification for CDP and DCP, but in practice, a range of other current values are possible using Apple's proprietary protocol or other protocols that bump up the defacto maximum current with a Type A connector on one end up to 2.4A". ~ Benson Leung. The evidence of 2.4A charging on compliant cables is out there, I invite you to google it for yourself. Unless you wish to continue to willfully ignore that. Up to you."

The charger is rated for 2.4A.
Unless you have a crap charger it's got current limiting circuitry. Not likely ro damage it using it for its rated output.
I doubt I'll burn the cable up.

The point I have been making is that the resistor in the Op cable is incorrect. This means the phone will attempt to pull 3A even though the charger/cable aren't rated for it. This would clearly cause an issue. I haven't seen any out of spec cable hold a 3A rating with the correct resistors and actually deliver it from a A-C cable. I'm nor saying your wrong I'm simply stating that this has been brought up by many people who are just as qualified. I've taken some EE course myself being an engineering student an all, but this doesn't mean I know enough to make a 100% correct assessment of the cable/charger situation. If it wasn't an issue we would see reports of chargers burning out so there is an issue somewhere

I haven't seen any threads regarding USB Power Delivery for our Nexus 6P (or at least no recent threads). For Instance, http://www.techtimes.com/articles/9...-but-they-don-t-support-quick-charge-2-0.htm
Does anyone know if our phone supports USB Type C Power Delivery? I skimmed through a couple of articles that states its possible, but nothing affirmative.

Gotcha. Thanks for the follow up. Would be pointless for me to get a PD charger if the phone doesn't support it. I would have only gotten it if there was a charging speed benefit.

That Anker charger is still a good choice if u have multiple devices, for me I use it to charge my 6p, tablet and my iPhone 4(yeah 4) and fyi it does charge the 6p at 3A 5V aka rapid charging
Nathan k/Benson Leung(can't Rmb who) suggests not to use that charger with laptops though

You can get good quality 27 W wall chargers, USBC to USBC for around $15 on Amazon. Lots more charger/cable/Leung discussions under the Accessories sub-forum
