Slow charge - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever I charge my Nexus 6p via the given wall charger it charges my phone super quick which is super awesome but whenever I charge it through USB PC or charger and USB it charges it very slow...

Yes it will.

Nothing strange with it, it all depends on the current the pc or charger can output.
The original N6P's charger delivers 3A, while most USB wall chargers output 1A, and PCs USB ports 0.5A.
The charging speed will vary accordingly, just check the specs of the charger you use, its max current is specified on one of its sides.

Nexus 4 QI Charger - Input and Output Question

Okay, let me start off by saying that I am complete noob when it comes to electrical matters, so excuse the silly question here...
I have found a USB powered QI charger for the Nexus 4 on eBay with an input of 5V and an output of 5V/1A. Two questions following from that...
1) Will the charge time be the same as if I just charged via USB?
2) Instead of connecting the USB end to my PC, could I not connect it to supplied Nexus 4 wall charger? If so, does it specs comply with those of the QI charger I just mentioned (i.e. will I get a fast charge time?)
Thanks in advance for the support.

Expect the charge times to be more compared to the Usb charger.. It can be ordered on fasttech.com for $40. Yes.. usb powered.. The AC adapter one on fasttech is $35.. All hav free shipping!!!!!
ii) That would depend on how much power the wireless charger needs.. The normal nexus 4 adapter is 1.2A.. If the wireless charger wants 1.5A, it will be slower due to less power... but since it is USB powered.. normal pc/laptop usb ports give 0.5A so your original nexus 4 adapter will be fine!!!!
Also.. wirless charging tends to heat up the phone sometimes.. so watch your temps..
I have the Energizer Qi charger and they warn that the Nexus supplied wall charger should not be used to power the WiFi charger. It doesn't have the power capacity to run the wireless charger.

The cahrging rate is almost the same
The power requirment for this charger is 5v 2A input. According to my test, as long as your power supply stay above 1A output, you will have no problem at all, just will charge a little bit slower. but once I hooked up with a samsung charger that was rated at 700ma, the red light goes on after a beep. The problem is, most of the usb chargers in the market are overrated that's why you will get red light on with these inferior charger. I purchased mine from a seller on eBay called gadgetsalon who included a original HP Touchpad adapter with my purchase which is fully rated 2A output, I have been using mine for almost 2 months now never had a single problem ever with my Tmobile GS3. BTW, I charge my phone with a ballistic case on all the time.

Can I damage the 6P with a MacBook charger?

I have the new MacBook with USB-C next to my bed. It would be very convenient to use that charger for 6P at night, but wonder if the 6P will regulate what it needs or if I can cause damage. MacBook charger is 29W but maybe the 6P can handle it.
I'd check the output amperage on the power brick of the macbook and compare that to the nexus 6p charger.

It will work fine, the phone controls how many amps it draws, not the other way around. I don't know the specs of the macbook charger so it might not be able to "fast charge" the phone if it can't do 5V 3A.
Only if you start beating your phone with it.
The 29W Apple USB-C can provide up to either [email protected] for devices that comply with USB PD spec or up to [email protected] for everything else.
So yeah, use it to your hearts content, just it won't be quite as fast as the [email protected] charger.
Different charger, but the charger for my Chromebook Pixel works well with the 5x. Charges just as fast as the charger included with the phone.

Thanks to all for your helpful replies. I'll be plugging it in for overnight charging so the speed doesn't matter.

Hi, It might not be relevant but I'm curious can you charge you nexus 6p from your macbook? Macbook have USB Type-C and so is on Nexus 6P. also how fast it charges.. also when you connect to your Macbook can you open system information. and looking at USB info how much it giving power?

I still don't get it, if the macbook charger has more "power" why does it charge slower aka it does not support fast charge?
Tried to charge Huawei Honor 8 with Macbook pro charger (20v/9v/5v). It's alive, but doesn't support fast-charge with default usb-c to usb-c macbook cord.

A basic explanation would be that the volts are the power that the charger has, the amps are how fast it can transfer that power. As mentioned earlier, the phone decides how much power it draws from the charger. The charger can supply more power, but that doesn't matter since the phone will cap the power it draws from it. So whether you're using a stock 6P charger or one that has 3 times the voltage, the same amount of power is reaching the phone. So with volts being even between both chargers, you look to the amps. The Mac chargers have lower amperage, which means it can't move those volts as fast as the 6P charger can. As such, it's not high enough to support rapid charging.

Can I use regular 2A charger with N6p?

There are no many adapters on the market and I couldn't find original huawei adapter. Can I use a regular adapter (samsung 2A for example) with my Nexus?

Yes, but you must use a certified cable. Check Benson Leung's reviews on Amazon to find a good one or use the cable provided in the box.
However you can buy original charger from Google Store or a valid alternative from Amazon like this:

If I understand correctly some articles USB A chargers doesn't support type-c power profile, so the phone will charge at a constant rate without lowering amperage to be gentle with the battery. Furthermore the quick charge is a very useful feature, so I suggest you to buy a compatible charger.
Absolutely. Just be aware that charging of the Nexus 6P/5X is limited to 1.5A over a proper USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable. With a USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable and a Type-C charger, it charges at up to 3A (as it does with the official charger).
So if you're worried about speed of charging, you may want to get yourself a new USB Type-C charger, as a Type-A charger will take about twice as long! (a 3A USB Type-C charger takes about 90 minutes) Personally, I just have a USB Type-A charger by my bed, since it will definitely finish charging while I sleep. Then I keep the original charger in my work bag, in case I need to quickly recharge during the day!

I don't know if that's the case, but if it is, I'm not sure it matters. With the USB Type-C charger it's drawing 3A and then lowers as the battery gets full, but I don't know how low it gets. Whereas a USB Type-A charger will be drawing 1.5A maximum, so it may not even need to lower.
Any good USB type A charger that you can recommend?
I Have a good opinion about Samsung adaptive charger that my wife uses with her note edge.

I am partial to Anker brand chargers. I would suggest the PowerPort 2 (as I own a couple), it is capable of charging two devices at up to 2.4A each (while the Nexus 6P can only draw 1.5A, iPads can draw the full 2.4A because of their proprietary tech). But as you can see on the Anker website, they have a ton of different options!

Rapid Charging

I just want to make sure I understand this correctly. The Nexus 6P doesn't have any type of fast charging built in to it. The phone will charge faster using a USB C to USB C cable because that type of cable is capable of delivering more charge to the phone. So essentially, as long as the cable is USB C at both ends, I should be able to rapid charge the phone using any USB C wall adapter or power and right?
The new wall adapter will have to have the same specifications as the original one. It's not only the cable, obviously.

See HERE. Obviously, select the 6P.
Be sure to read the notes at the bottom for exact specifications required.
Mine rapid charges in the car with an old iPad 2.1A rated usb charger. It doesn't actually say fast charging, but it gives a charge time estimate and it's definitely fast. Can go from 65 to full in a 25 minute drive. Amazing.
I use a USB adapter in the car and get "charging fast"

Chargers

Okay, so if I use the yotaphone 2 charger, I get rapid charging (green charging icon) and high current 1.5A+. Sometimes this heats the phone up fairly hot. I am measuring this using the app Ampere.
If using any other charger its very variable, I get something between 100mA and 800mA charging, even if the charger supports higher charging rates. Now I know the yotaphone 2 communicates via the usb connector with the genuine charger, as I was using magnetic usb cables which can connect either way around. One way around the data pins are connected and the fast charge mode works, the other way around the data is not connected and charging is limited to the lower current. Caution with these as the type I was using ebay approx £4, cannot carry the 1.5A charge and the magnetic charger plug itself heats up.
Question: What charger do you use? What current is it capable of delivering and does your yotaphone 2 use this current. How long does a charge take on various chargers?
I can't recall correctly, isn't the stock yota charger 1.5A? So with 1.5A the phone itself consume 0.7-1.4A, what you get is correct with 0.1-0.8A. I use the Asus Nexus 7 2.1A charger, it charge at 0.4-1.2A. With screen off and sleep mode it will charge faster!
