I bet you can. I don't have a 6P so I cant test it out for you, but I bought a bunch of Amazon cables that work very well for me. And I bet the cable that came with the 6P is good so you should be fine.
Thanks for the reply.

Hello all.
I have had Nexus 4 for 2 weeks now. Absolutely love the device. Doesn't really have any problem with it. Last night, my phone didn't charge when I plug it in the wall charger (LG charger with Kindle USB cable). So I thought I forgot to charge it. I plug it in the wall charger at work, a HTC charger/USB cable. It is still not charging.
But if I plug it into my laptop, it chargers and I can transfer files between the phone and laptop.
I haven't even rooted the phone yet. Locked bootloader. Stock everything and the latest update.
Noticed that there is something similar going on with S3. So this is not a Samsung problem. It's an Android problem.
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: Nevermind.
I think it's the charger's fault. Glad it's not our phone though.
Have you tried using the wall adapter and cable that actually came with your Nexus 4?

the wall adapter was from LG. I don't think the USB cable is faulty since I can connect to Laptop ok.

You should try the wall adapter and cable that came with your phone just to be certain the phone is faulty. Different adapters have different current outputs and different cables are better Suited to handle larger or smaller outputs. The kindle cable you speak of I know for sure is not designed to consistantly output at higher levels. Also, Older Samsung wall adapters like the one that comes with the Epic never had enough current output to charge my HTC phones anywhere near as quickly as my genuine HTC wall adapters.

I have seen some comments and reviews that some USB-C cables are dangerous to use on our phones. Mainly the "Amazon Comment" from a Google Engineer who said that a particular USB-C cable could harm the device.
I am looking to buy some cheap Micro-USB to USB-C adapters for my current chargers, does anyone know if they are safe to use?
Is there a thread that has all the tested and confirmed cables, adapters and chargers? Seems this USB-C thing is more confusing than I though it would be.
I think you are better off buying a USB 2.0 Type A to Type C cable instead of a micro USB adapter. This one has been recommended:
http://www.amazon.com/iOrange-E-Braided-Reversible-Connector-ChromeBook/dp/B010VFFSL4/
Something like this is NOT compliant, according to the same Google engineer:
http://www.amazon.com/Adapter-TechMatte®-Convert-Connector-OnePlus/dp/B0151RKYBG/
bummer, I don't need "fast charging" all the time so I'm ok with standard charging speed for the most part. However I certainly don't want to "harm" my device with a cable or adapter that is not properly engineered.
Most if not all of the cables he recommends are around $20 for just a cable. Craziness...
I don't think you will damage the phone, but there's a risk you will damage the other side, i.e. charger or computer port. Now frying a $10 charger is not a big deal as long as you are not setting the house on fire, but frying a computer USB port is a different story ... that's what I'm really worried about.
I love how iOrange raised prices on their cables by $4-5 each. That's a 25% increase since gaining popularity yesterday.

Been steadily increasing since the engineer made his post. I understand, but on the other hand, I need a cable.

Good thing I ordered 2 the day the article came out. I thought they would raise prices with all the free publicity they got from the article.
What about those from one +? I bought a couple when they were in Stock

If i you don't need 3.0 data speeds, thats the way to go. There is a google doc put together on reddit from all of Google engineer's comments/posts: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/3robzo/google_spreadsheet_for_usbc_cables_with_benson/

Based on the photos, it seems identical to the cable Google sells. Wouldn't be surprised if they both came from the same place.
My question is this: why are people buying all kinds of usb-c to other versions of usb cables? The phone comes with everything one needs to charge or plug into a computer. Unless everyone wants cables for every room in the house...?

I leave my stock charger in the living, but I want an adapter for overnight use to plug it in to my 2.4v Nexus 7 charger that stays in my bedroom.

The 6p comes with 2 cables already... One usb-c>usb-c and one usb-c>usb-a... So use the usbc/c cable for home and the usbc/a cable for travel.

Work, car, etc. I don't want to remember to take the charger/cable with me to work or in the car, I just want to leave them there. And the short cable that comes with the 6P is well ... too short. If you have a desktop computer sitting on the floor or want to charge from the wall or the car, it's just not good enough.
Fair enough!

This has nothing to do with travel. and the c-a cable it comes with is too damn short to use for much beyond data transfer. Unless the USB a charger is literally plugged in right next to where the phone is going to sit.
I'm trying to figure out how this new charging thing works as far as the required cable/charger.
I bought the iOrange-E cable from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/iOrange-E-Braided-Reversible-Connector-ChromeBook/dp/B010VFFSL4/
I have a charger from my old Galaxy S4 that is 5V-1A. When I plug the iOrange in that charger and to my phone, it will say "Charging" but will not steadily charge. What I mean by that is that it'll change states to charging, then it'll stop charging, over and over again.
Another charger I have is 5 V - 2.1 A. With the iOrange cable, this works fine. It will say "Charging."
I have an Anker car charger. This is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FYQKMRG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
I'm not sure what the V/A is on that but with the included USB C -- USB A cable that was shipped with the Nexus 6P, it will charge.
I don't have the USB specs but does anyone know what the minimum is for simply "Charging"? How about "Charging Rapidly?"
I'm assuming my 5V - 1 A charger is too low since it doesn't seem to charge the 6P properly.
I saw the same thing with an HTC 1.5A charger. It charges for a few seconds and then it stops. Not sure what's going on, you'd think that it could at least pull the 500mA or 900mA per the USB spec. Another Anker charger that I have works.
I have this adapter Delmkin
It passes compatibility test using this app CheckR when hooked up with a tronsmart micro-USB cable.
Somebody mentioned that we have all what is needed inside the box and that's true and all but thing is most people don't want to carry their cables/chargers with them wherever they go. I have at least two charger with cables in each room of the house. One in each car and one at work. Makes it convenient since micro-USB cables/chargers are so cheap. Now with USB-C its a different story. One these cables are not cheap at all and now we are learning most of them aren't even complaint with the specs. So it helps to have a tiny adapter to be able to use all the cable I already own with Nexus 6P.
I have seen quite a few threads on certified usb c cables. This may be a dumb question but why is there a need for people to buy other type c cables if the 6p comes with them?
Extras buddy.. Not everyone wants to use the same cable everywhere

Because someone might want to leave one at work, get a charger for their car, and just have a longer cable or extras. My cat ends up chewing on my cables while I am sleeping, so I am waiting on more cables to come before I leave my charger out at night.
One for car, work, bedside, etc.
Thanks guys. I figured it was probably for extras but wanted to double check as I'm still figuring out this type c thing and didn't know if I need to buy any other cables
Isn't the included Type C-Standard A cable a bit short for charging from a desktop computer?

It's only like 8". Might work for a laptop, but not a desktop with a high USB port.

That's why I purchased the additional C to A cable from the Google Store.
The included Type C to Type A cable is less than a foot, so it's relatively useless. Many people want a cable for home, work, and their car.
I needed one for Android Auto.
Wait....is it possible to have too many cables? For anything?

The USB Type-C to A cable is short, but I just use a Type-A USB extender cable that I had lying around to make it longer. Short-cable problem solved.

No
I personally like to have a charger available wherever I go whether it be my office, home, car, parents house etc. and since no one has a USB c cable yet I have to provide my own
I like the way the Oppo reversible A to C cable looks (that is, where the type A end can be plugged in either direction) and would like one of these cables, but I heard that they'll fry a Nexus 6P. Does anybody know of any similar cable (with the reversible A end) that is safe to use with the Nexus 6P?
I heard something about Oppo was going to fix their cable but no word on whether or not they have yet.

None of those have a reversible A connector.
Is there any unofficial 10 foot cables that would be comparable to the original dash cable? 3 feet is so little and I don't feel like have an extention cable for my charger. Thank you in advance

Think OnePlus sells 5 feet. But I want 10 also
Would it be cheaper to get the extension cable? The cheap one from hardware store should be able to handle 20W VOOC charge.
If it's not the OP cable, you won't get the fast charge thing right

There is one available which is 150 cm instead of 100 cm which comes inside the box. You can get it from the oneplus store.
Unofficially chinese websites also sell 200 cm dash cable if you need that long :good:

There is a company called Juicebitz, Google it, they make a 3m cable and they are excellent quality. They also have a stall on eBay.
