I've searched and never seen an actual 'buyable' product linked on the forums so if this is a dup, I apologize.
Anyone try one of these and see if you can have your Nexus in host mode and charge at the same time?
Is the only option for the female Micro USB port to bring more charge to a usb device plugged in and not to bring charge
to the Nexus itself?
Two scenarios would make this ideal for me:
1.) using my usb xbox controller to play games yet still keeping my tablet charged
2.) using a usb thumb drive to play a movie while still keeping my table charged
I think this would be pretty cool if it worked but I don't know the technical details on if it can be done with our Nexus 7's:

Looks like it's meant for providing power to the USB device you connect (e.g.. external hard drive) instead of to the Nexus7...
The eBay description says it provides charging the the micro-USB port. Only way to know is to buy it and try it out

I have a OK Galaxy Tab in the dash of my car, and use the headset port for music, didn't want to upgrade without seeing one in person.
Hopefully some sort of dock solution will make Otg and charging possible and I can upgrade. Thanks!

OTG and Charging is mutually exclusive, the OTG cable triggers the USB controller to send power out to a device, not receive power.
the pogo docks on the bottom of the device are also impossible to charge from as the nexus 7 has only been given one charging circuit, and that is the same one that OTG disables.
The only way to achieve something like this would be a physical battery hack where you splice in a charging circuit direct to the battery, without frying the phone maybe some unidirectional resistors, so that it can be simultaneously charged whilst powering the device.
I'm 99% certain of this information, and this is not to say someone might hack a kernel together one day
you might be able to install one of them batteries you can just set it on a charging pad and it will charge

Wrong. https://github.com/teamhacksung/and...mmit/4c1c965b168bc4488ef66889e1c8933bc1b3de46 for an example on Galaxy S2/Note
As to whether the adapter linked is a proper OTG ACA (they're VERY hard to find) and whether the grouper supports OTG ACA is unknown. It's something a kernel developer can probably implement.
Thanks Entropy512, I can see it working on other devices, that gives me hope... I might rig something up myself now, I've wanted to take a cheap usb keyboard plastic leather cover, and build in an extra battery, card reader and usb hub, now this might be theoretically possible

I can confirm that simply splicing a standard OTG cable into the port and plugging in a power cord will not work. I thought I'd utilize the empty socket from where the rear camera was supposed to go, and try to fit the OTG-to-microSD set-up inside of the Nexus. I bought a salvaged USB/headphone port from a damaged Nexus off of Ebay for $1 and the smallest microSD adapter I could find. With the use of a ribbon cable from an old laptop, some trimming, and some REALLY careful soldering I was able to make it work... sorta. Stickmount sees the card and everything runs great, until you plug in a power cord. Then, it disables the microSD adapter, and even though Stickmount says it's there, no files are visible. Also, the Nexus won't charge with this arrangement.
It might work with a different set up, but simply mimicking the OTG cable will not allow a Stickmounted volume and when the charger is plugged in.
(BTW - To make everything fit, I had to use a Dremel to grind away some of the mid-frame area around the rear camera space. It's a tight fit, but keep in mind that until you have a spare mid-frame, like I do, you'll obviously void your warranty.)

Same here, only I went a step further and added a 36k resistor from the ID line to ground and that didn't do anything either.

quick question 3.0 only affects transfer speeds when connected to a computer right? for charging it's always going to be the adapter's output (2A)

If connected to a computer that has a USB3 port, it'll be a faster charge than if you were to use USB2. USB2 has a max of about 500mA, theoretically. USB3 has a max of 900mA. When using a wall charger, it'll be the same as USB2, since the adapters output (most commonly 2A) remains the same. That also goes without saying: Using the wall charger will always be faster than using a computer, since the output is considerably higher.

Thats the standard USB 3.0 Micro connector. Its basically the standard USB micro connector we are all used to with an additional set of pins on the side. The nice thing is the ports are backwards compatible but with slower speeds.
If it's been upgraded to 2.5A then that explains the super fast charging speed.
Just got my S5
And nah, the wall adapter is still 2A...at least the one that came with mine is:

I think the fast charging is because of "Quick Charge 2.0" from Qualcomm's 801 chip.

Can I use old micro USB charger/cable from S3 to charge S5?

Yup, you sure can. The USB3 port is backward-compatible so any of the old USB2 microUSB cables will work just fine.
the 2.0 cables seem to charge extraordinarily slow for me. The 3.0 cable from the same 2A source seems real fast.
Not sure if it is just the first impressions or an indicator that you should probably plan to use the 3.0 cables from now on...
I bought a Nexus 5x from the USA, but I live in the UK. I will therefore need to replace the wall charger when it arrives.
For my old Nexus 5 I use an iPad charger. This is fast, and adaptable, since I travel a lot, I can switch the figure of 8 input on the iPad charger to whatever country I am in, and it allows me to carry only one charger and switch between Nexus and iPad charging.
I realise that the old iPad charger will be quite slow to charge my new nexus 5x. I would like a replacement that is at least as dependable as my iPad charger, but with the usb-c standard. The perfect charger would have swappable plugs, like the iPad, with a usb-c AND standard usb 2/3 ports.
Any ideas?
Nobody found an alternative to this yet? Is it at least possible to buy a standard, genuine, nexus 5x charger with a uk plug?
Can't you just use an outlet adapter?

Well, I had a Moto X 2014 with quick charger and I lost it, so my replacement was the 5X. In order to keep my previous chargers I bought a micro usb -> Usb C adapter. It's works pretty well for both charging and data transfer and isn't that expensive and you can still use your previous charger.

Remember that the OEM charger has an output of 3.0A so you might use a big charger, like the one of an IPAD or S6.

From what I understand though, the old USB formats are not capable of delivering 3.0A. It has to be USB-C. Adapters will turn your charge to 2.5A maximum.
I might be wrong, but have read a few things that suggest this. With my official Google charger I can charge my Nexus 5x fully in about 30 minutes.

Well here we go again. For OnePlus to actually get dash charging to work they are using non-spec compliant cords. These cords, if not used in a dash charger, will potentially break your phone and/or wall plug. They do not regulate currents probably and will allow the phone to try and pull more wattage than the wall plug/USB port can provide. This can create high temperatures at the port of the phone and port of the wall plug. DO NOT USE THESE CORDS UNLESS IT IS IN A DASH CHARGER
do you have a source?
cause I think the cords are just the same, but thicker to handle the high current.
So you can use it on every usb-c device, it is even more safe than most other cords.
" ... and will allow the phone to try and pull more wattage than the wall plug/USB port can provide"
the Cord can't "ask" for more wattage, the cord is only the way through.

The cord, with a proper regulator, should limit how much wattage the phone is trying to pull since it's USB C. But OnePlus's cord does not. Go to the Google Play Store and search USB C Test and the application should come up to show its non-compliant.
So now the cord has a "regulator"... ?
Man, tell me your dealer..
Does USB C test work on OP3 or does it need a Nexus?
The cable actually matters and can destroy devices if not USB-C compliant. A Google engineer tests a lot of cables after destroying his Chromebook. Read up here: https://m.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/3robzo/google_spreadsheet_for_usbc_cables_with_benson/

Unless you tinker with the specific (kernel) settings, how can a phone try to pull and use more power?
The phone can only receive the amount of power wich the outlet of the wall charger/USB connection provides?? The only thing I can think of is the specific recistance of the original OP3 USB-C cable.
The less recistance, the more power the phone could recieve, but normally not more than the output of the connected power source.
Pls correct me if I'm wrong.

The phone will always request the maximum the cable can provide. If the cable is not properly made it will always report 5v 4amp. Since, it is reporting the 5v 4amp, it is allowing the phone to try and get that amount. This means the wall plug, if not a dash charger, is now being over taxed and will overheat to try and provide it.

I'm still not understanding exactly what you think is wrong with the cables? They have been said to have the correct resistor which is what caused issues with the other Cables.

Stop spreading FUD.
If the source provides X a cable can't magically make it Y.
Else I would buy only such cables and lay it throughout my home wiring (to provide me more than the meter will count and add to my bill).
Besides OP3 specified it as "USB 2.0, Type-C".
Means basically - USB Type C plug, but 2.0 Standard.

As you have Nexus 6P, please could you make this test and report the results? Oneplus cable is not USB Type-C compliant because it's USB2 cable but that doesn't mean it's automatically unsafe or dangerous to use with third party chargers or to plug it to pc's. Please, could you do that test and report the results. :fingers-crossed:

If the cable test would report value 2, then it would indicate that the cable allows phone to draw too much current from the charger and could potentially be dangerous to pc's or wallchargers.
I already charged the phone with a power bank and provided oneplus cable.

I tested the cable on my Nexus 6P. The cable is not to spec. Just get over it. Just use it with the dash charger and nothing else.

Of course the app shows it is not spec compliant as it only checks it to show with USB-C spec
As it's a dash charging cable it won't be spec compliant with USB-C. It doesn't mean it will harm your device as there are circuits in the cable and the connector.

Well, I think what we all need is a reliable source on the subject. Speculation won't lead us very far...

Can anyone please tell, what type of charging/data cable we get with Galaxy Note 8 (stock charging cable)? Is it Type C USB 2.0? Coz i want to get one spare charging cable for my phone to us it in car with anker car charger. I have found one online of Tronsmart, Type C cable, USB 2.0. Will it be okay or should i go for USB type 3.0, since as per GsmArena, note 8 port supports usb type C 3.1. I only need cable for charging, not for (fast) data transfer, so will usb type C 2.0 be okay? Or should i get usb 3.0?
Thanks!

For charging, it doesn't matter. USB 2.0 or 3.0 doesn't make the phone charge faster or slower, it only affects data transfer speeds. Getting a Type-C USB 2.0 will still be compatible with fast charging, I believe.
Also, as far as I know, it's USB 3.0 cable that comes with the device, because my transfer rates are ridiculously fast over a USB 3.0 port.

Thanks for ur reply.
What i have heard, samsung stock charging cable is 2.0, not sure tho. Recently i have purchased tronsmart Type C cable 2.0 as a spare cable. And it is thicker than stock samsung charging/data cable (see the attached image). It also shows same charging time as stock cable.
I will use it as a spare cable for charging in car with anker QC 3.0 charger.

Thickness does not always translate to higher performance.

Yeah, but was just showing how thick it was compared to stock cable. Anyway, so far it is performing nice. I only use it with car charger (whenever needed, and i don't need to charge my phone in car on daily basis, normally i charge my phone to full in morning before leaving for office, and it easily takes me for one full day), otherwise i charge my phone with stock charger and cable.

Yes, Anker is a good brand. One of the best. But since it was costly and i only needed a spare cable to use in car (and that too not very often), so went for a cheap one, but of good quality.
Tho i have anker car charger with QC 3.0 fast charging.

more reliable than the stock cables that seem fragile.
