My oneplus5 dash charge is almost broken, so I'll buy another cable on AliExpress.
But OnePlus 6 cable is more cheaper, so I'll going to buy oneplus 6 cable.
I'm just wondering that OP6 cable works with full dash charge speed.
I'm not sure about stuff from Ali express... What I can say is that my short and longer OP3 cable works just get with my OP5, but both are original from the official site from the end of 2016.
The cable is not a simple cable, it was designed to go with this kind of high power charger, so if it's not an original and certified cable, you might see slower charging times than the original.
In my opinion the original price of £12.99 worth it, because of the quality.
If you can check reviews of that particular cable, do so.
Ofcourse you can. Bought one from Aliexpress myself. Type "DASH cable" in the Aliexpress, pick "Orders" and go with one of the first three. Cable is around 3-4$ which is a fair price.

Just encountered slow charging problem, my phone charges about 9 hrs from 20% and just getting 75%, I checked at Ampere app, the input is just around 50-100mA+, I suspect the cable since my wall charger did charges perfectly with another device, or, buy a cheap alternative like xiaomi's type-c adapter, which costs more cheaply then buying the OP cable, which one should I pick? OP cable? or Xiaomi's type-c adapter?
Same here

I have same problem, 1-20% is also very slow here, ampere shows 33-350mA
I've been using the mivi type C cable and the charging speeds are great.
I bought a second hand Nexus 6p last week, without a charger. I ordered a charger and cable from amazon uk:
The charger: USB Type-C Charger, Tronsmart 27W Dual Port USB C Wall Charger for Nexus 5X/6P, S7, HTC 10, LG G5 and Other USB-C Phones and iPhone Android Device £13.55 ($17)
Cable: 'USB Type C Cable, CableCreation Super Speed Gen 2 (10Gbps) USB 3.1 Type C Male to Male Cable' which cost £11.99 ($15).
I could only get normal charging, no fast/rapid, so I ordered replacements of both as amazon prime allows free returns.
I ordered a iKits (CE/FCC Verified) 5V3A Type-C AC USB Wall Charger/Travel Charge, USB-C 15W for Macbook, Google Chromebook Pixel, Google Nexus 5X 6P & etc. Universal US AU UK EU Plug Adapter included Black, £10.99 ($14)
USB Type C Cable, CHOETECH Hi-speed USB-C to USB-C Cable 3.3ft(1m) for USB Type-C Devices Including LG G5, the new MacBook, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P. £4.99 ($6)
I tested with the original Tronsmart charger, but the new cable, the Choetech and wow, rapid/fast charging! The cable was half the price of my original choice, yet allows for greater charging speeds. I have today sent the Cable Creation cable back.
I will test the iKits charger tonight.
I find it helpful to have two chargers, especially since nothing else in my house uses USB C, and if one got stolen at work, I like to have a backup. I will keep you guys posted on the iKits.
I hope this helps anyone who needs a replacement charger for their 6P
NB: I am not sponsored, or paid, etc.. I struggled to find info on this myself and figured I can't be the only one.
update:
Both the Tronsmart and iKits charger fast/rapid charge my nexus. I returned the cable and got a cheap Tronsmart USB C cable and it works as well for fast/rapid charging.
So I now have two different brands, in my opinion affordable too, chargers and two different cheap USB C cables that all support fast charging. Very pleased.
Hope this helps!
thank you for the information, i was looking for alternative charger also.
As long as you stick with the better 3rf party stuff you will be OK. I am personally not a fan of Tronsmart, but Anker has yet to let me down.
Hi all I want to get a USB to USB c cable so I can charge my phone in the car.
Will any on ebay work or is there some specific one that works better?
I found most of the cables from eBay to be cheap and not offer a full charge Amazon offers some descent cables and can get full reviews on each one. I went through the same thing rushed to Walmart and picked one up

If you want rapid charging you need to look for one that either has a USB-C port on the charger (like the stock charger) or one that has a dedicated cable for USB-C that will output 5V/3A. Any charger or cable that uses USB-A will only provide a maximum of 2.4A and will not "rapid charge". This includes QC2 and QC3 which our phone does not support.

Hey there, are you open to using a car adapter? I purchased a Vinsic car adapter which has both USB type C and A ports. It was reviewed favorably by Googler Benson Leung among other products that are fully compliant with USB type C guidelines. It has worked fantastic for me in the year that I've owned this product along with my Nexus 5X. This has been used 3 to 6 times a week.
Thanks all for your help and advice
I got one from eBay that is 10 ft and works really great! It was also not very expensive and a better charger then the short one that came with the phone
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Hi, i ordered a few car chargers, all were said 'fast charge'/quallcom fast charge 2/3 etc on ebay/aliexpress.
With all of them phone says 'slow charging'.
Can somebody recommend a fast car charger, that's not expensive(less than 15$)?
Thanks
Anker do one its just over £15 here not sure in US
Anker PowerDrive Speed 2 39W

Did you try it with the original or high quality cable? Besides do not buy cheap chargers especially fast ones.
You could damage the battery. I would recommend Samsung's original fast adaptive charger. The older models work well too (you could save some money by buying the older s7 variant). They will ship to you with micro USB, but you could bring your own cable.

I have this one and its perfect always shows fast charging on the phone
Also if you are using a fast charger 2.0 with the screen on it will show cable charging. It will only fast charge with the screen off.
Firstly..more than likely it's the cable(s) you're using. Usually it's the brand/quality of cable that affects charging rates more than anything.
Secondly... with how advanced these chargers and phones are now with QC and all the varying voltages etc..it would behoove you to maybe spend a few extra bucks and go with a high quality power adapter instead of cheap, China mad junk that could potentially seriously damage your phone or battery. The Original Samsung adaptive fast charging adapters-with cable are pretty cheap from numerous outlets. Outside of original Samsung chargers, I've only ever used adapters by Anker. Never had a problem with them and always fast charge with either original cable or the other type of cable I use; wich is the "Snowkids USB type C" on Amazon. Bestseller there.

I got my awesome new OnePlus 6T a couple weeks ago. I upgraded from a Nokia 6.1. Both have USB-C connectors.
After I got my Nokia 6.1 I bought about 6 various cheap USB-C charging cables to have as spares... in the office, cars, bathroom, kitchen, etc.
All of my cheap charging cables will charge my Nokia 6.1 but none of them will charge my OP6T.
I can charge my OP6T with the Nokia OEM cable and with the OnePlus OEM cable... why will none of my other cables charge the OP6T?? Are there wires missing out of cheap generic charging cables??
You can buy original from OnePlus or from Aliexpress, Gearbest, Geekbuy, Joybuy, Tomtop. The Dash charger & cable it's WORTH every penny!
On oneplus cost more, like 19 euro. On others 3-4 $
Beware of cheap cables without the proper 56k resistor in them. Improper use can damage the charger and device.
I've never used the factory cable with my 6T, but I've never used the DashCharger either. Do these cables not work with any charger / PCs?
It work, but why ? You'll never have Dash charge, that means Speed charging!
USE! the OEM cable only do not mix cables/brick as they're not meant for other devices, For example OnePlus Cable's do not follow Type C specification wouldn't advise using them on any other device.
I just looked through the box, and read the little user manual booklet, it says:
"connect the USB Type-C cable to the USB port on your device"
"Note: Fast charging can only be achieved by using the OnePlus original product USB cable and travel adapter"
Nowhere does it say that some USB-C cables don't work. And nowhere does it say to not use any other cables or chargers.
So, there is a 56Kohm resistor inside the cable? Is this only in OnePlus cables? What is the purpose of the resistor?
I just found this article, I think I understand now. Don't buy cheap USB-C cables!
