Recommend USB Cable for Zenfone 3 ZE552KL - Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers

Hi guys, I'm buying a Zenfone 3 and need few recommedations of this type of usb cable. It because I'm new with usb type C cable. In Asus' website i was reading about it comes with a Usb cable type C 2.0. So, in another page I saw that if I use another kind o type C cable the phone could die by overheating.
I'll be so grateful for your answers

You can't really get a bad USB-C cable if you stick to the OEM charger. Just get whatever.

Using a Type A to type C 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.

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.

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"

Fast Charging (hardware)

I am curious if any of you have tried third party CABLES for your Le Pro 3 charging. I purchased a pack from Amazon and found that none of these charge the phone with any kind of urgency. A thirty minute drive delivered 4% battery, on a QUICK CHARGE CAR CHARGER. With the OEM cable, I would have gotten 30-40%, based on my testing thus far.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The product I picked up (and plan on returning):
[/B]Conforms to the USB Type C Specification version 1.1, standard 56kilohm identification resistor, which ensures a safe charging at 2.4A Maximum and the speed of data sync up to 480 Mbps. No damage to your wall charger adapter and legacy USB hub
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have any of you had luck, or experience, here?
Do I perhaps need a special kind of cable? I am assuming all USB C cables are "equal" due to the tech behind usb c.
Any feedback is welcomed and appreciaited.

I too thought that all usb c cables are the same. Are you sure you were using quick charge 3.0 charger?
Yuppers. Sadly, I'm positive. I used the OEM brick this morning, and received 2% in 10 minutes. This is massively low compared to the OEM cable. The car is also a quick charge that typically charges my phone upwards of 40% on my daily commute. This did closer to 3%.
The o ly factor that has been changed is the cable.
Sounds like you got a bad cable. Return it and buy one that is approved by Benson Leung.
Agree with NiHaoMike. Try Anker Powerline Cables.

I'm still waiting for my x720.
And access to Anker products is actually quite difficult here in Norway. I've ended up ordering both Tronsmart and Choetech cables. Both approved by Benson Leung.

Benson Leung.
As a means of edjucating myself...who, or what, is Benson Leung? I aim to Google it after I post this, but thought...perhaps, y'all would have more specific info as to our interest in this name...
Just Google Benson usb c and you will find what you are looking for.

Is it possible that the issue is with the type C cable being a 2.0 vs 3.0 USB? I am noticing that my order contained USB 2.0 to USB C...WHILE OTHER USB C cable show 3.0 and 3.1
I am using Tronsmart and Choetech USB-C cables from amazon with no problem.
QC 2.0 chargers also seem to work quite well for fast charging.

Is there no way to charge faster than ~250mA using "conventional" charging methods?

Is there no way to charge faster than ~250mA using "conventional" charging methods?
sorry for the newbie question, but i am loving this phone so far EXCEPT i have never been able to charge it to more than 60% so far because i dont have the original charger. and every single other method i've tried charges it around 200mA (measured by ampere) and it only goes up around 10% after 10 hours of charging
previously, i use a LG G3 and i get 1000mA via various methods like:
-plugging it into the computer's USB3 or USB2 port on the charging only mode
-using older "fast" chargers that range between 1.5A to 2.0A
I'm using a standard USB-C cable (bought from amazon) with the above
if i dont get the "newer" chargers, is there any way i can still charge the essential to a "reasonable" speed?
You can use one of the power delivery chargers (Anker, Aukey, etc) on Amazon. They will fast charge the PH-1. The charger for Chromebook Pro and MacBook also works well. Might also be able to get a replacement charger from Essential depending on where the phone was originally purchased. They sent me a free replacement charger and cable after the original charger stopped working.

I'm assuming "if I don't buy one of the newer chargers" means they don't want to purchase the official charger from Essential.

It sounds like you need a new cable or power brick, the cable being the likliest point of failure.

I'm using the following and all work fine:
LG G6 factory charger
Essential Factory Charger
Aukey wall charger with Quick Charge 3.0
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FJ5TMC2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
AUKEY Amp USB Charger with USB C Port & 4 USB Ports
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DZ4KHYQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You need to buy a charger that supports Quick Charge if you want to charge rapidly.
Otherwise figure on nothing more than about 500mA.
At 500mA from empty figure 6 hours to charge.
Buy a charger.

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.
