[review] choetech 39w 3 port wall charger - Nexus 5X Accessories

After using their single port USB C charger Choetech send me their latest, which has 1 Type C port and 2 Type A ports. The Type C port delivers 5v/3a charging and the Type A ports offer 5v/2.4a max. The C port performed basically the same as my stock 6p charger, and while plugging in devices to the Type A ports caused a slight decrease in the power going to the C port it was only around 50mAh so it was nearly inconsequential. The size on this is small enough that I can throw it in a bag without worrying, and the foldable plug design helps keep it compact. Three ports mean I only need one charger for my phone, watch and Bluetooth speaker making this a great travel charger. Overall I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quality charger that can handle both old and new devices.

I was actually just looking at this. I really like that it had the A and C ports. ChoeTech has been making some good stuff recently.
Its interesting seeing some of these Chinese companies like ChoeTech, Anker, TronSmart, Aukey, BlitzWolf, etc really separate themselves from the pack with good quality, support and being on the cutting edge of consumer needs.

I think you got a typo there, 3amps would have to be 15 watts. (Watts = Amps x Volts.)

I think all those companies have one owner.
Compare packaging, cables, etc. They are the same. Difference is only in labels.
But quality is very good indeed

No they don't, not those companies. The packaging is a marketing shift and a really good idea. Its very cheap, but has a simple elegance. Very good idea.
Anker, I believe makes their own stuff or has exclusive contracting. The others very well may purchase from some of the same manufacturers.
However, I noticed it a while ago when I first saw Matricom do it. A company who can identify the good Chinese-made products and re-package them with a recognizable brand and provide good support could add a significant markup on the products. It seems like we are seeing some of this now.

Cheap car charger

£6.99 plus £1.39 shipping. Just over a week to get from Hong Kong, its a USB type charger with an indicated 5v output, includes a UK mains USB plug also rated at 5v and a sync/charge cable similar to the Samsung one.
Slightest criticism would be the plug that goes into the tab is slightly loose compared to the original, otherwise very good quality.

They will be very unlikely to be 2100mah , more likely 500-800mah , you cannot believe specifications labels from hong kong/china , The SGTAB needs a lot of power to charge correctly, I would be very weary of using them at all!

Meh, my eBay car charger works just fine.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
Can you post a link to that charger? I've tried both the Duragadget and Scosche "2A" car chargers, and neither one fast-charges the Tab. The only thing that's worked for me is getting a 12V inverter and plugging the standard wall-wart into it.
Well, i had this experienced with my blackberry handheld. Using the 3rd party aka non genuine car charger and find out the IC charging it wont worked so it must be replaced with the new one.
could be the voltage standard is different with the genuine one...u might wanna considered again to using the non genuine part for an often usage might damage the handheld

KiDiGi OMNI LC-UMB Rugged Case Compatible Galaxy S6 Charging Dock

Because of my issues I'm having with wireless charging pads and docks, I'm considering this universal dock to replace the one I've been using.

The best part of it is that it is a true universal dock, with the Micro USB connector being able to pivot forward and backward, as well as the unique ability to raise and lower the connector by turning a dial on the back of the dock:
My current universal dock just can't be modified enough to fit my S6 Edge with a very thin case on it, but this looks like it will fit just about anything. They also offer it with a reverse connector for those phones with the USB connector facing the opposite direction (Google, HTC, Windows, OnePlus).
They can be found for purchase on sites around the world, I don't work for the company, I'm not posting any links directly to product pages. Their own website incorrectly lists the LC-UMB as a fixed dock compared to this adjustable one, so there may be some issues with posting a link anywhere anyways.
Looks great, what are your thoughts?
Is this Dock compatible with fast charging?
I have a few Myrin Charging cradles which has been compatible with all my Android phones and tablets but it uses it's own propriety USB cables which does not support fast charging. Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/330827203249
it looks okay

I'll let you know soon! I have my Fast Charging adapter in my charging valet right now ready to go for when this arrives, and hopefully it will "pass through" the charger. In the past, my Seidio Innodock Jr would allow the previous king of USB adapters, the OEM Samsung 2.1A that came with the S5, to charge the device at 1900mAh as read from the Galaxy Charging Current app, so that's about as good of a "pass through" charger as one would get. But only time will tell, I've received a message from the place I ordered it that it has shipped and I should receive it sometime this week.
Just received the dock and can CONFIRM that Fast Charging does work on it when connected to the correct adapter. Fast Charging shows up on the pull down notification bar. This dock is solid, very nice looking, and should work great with future devices as well, no complaints so far!

[Review] CHOETECH 55W 6 Port USB Charging Station

Full disclosure, I was provided this product at a discount cost for a fair and unbiased review. With a Nexus 5x and 6p and a slew of microUSB devices still around the house there is often not enough chargers in the right place. Choetech's 55W 6-Port USB Charging Station took care of this, and now serves as our main hub with a plug for everything. It has 2 USB C ports, both capable of delivering a full 5v/3a simultaneously, which is something Google's dual port USB C charger cannot do. It also has 4 USB A ports, rated at 5v/2.4a each. For those good at math that means you can have any combination of 4 devices plugged in and charging at full speed. Yes, anything beyond that and the charging speeds will begin to dip, but in all likelihood the USB A/microUSB devices will not be pulling the full 12W of power (most non-smartphone/tablets will pull 5v/1-1.5a) which means that you may be able to charge more than 4 at a time full speed. Even still, to have 4 phones or tablets getting full speed charging is quite impressive from such a small device.
The build quality is very good on this product. It is mostly coated in a nice coat of soft touch paint, and it was smaller than I expected. The inclusion of a USB C cable is a nice touch as well, and the fact that it has a removable stand gives it more placement options. The only downside to this is that it does not offer Quick Charge to any of the USB A ports, but as I don't personally own any QC devices anymore this isn't a big deal. Overall this is a very good device that will find a permanent home as our main charging hub.
TL;DR: This is exactly the product I was looking for, but didn't know I needed and I would pay full price for it if I had to.

[Q] USB Type C OTG while charging

Hello,
I'm looking for an OTG to USB Type C adapter that allows charging at the same time. Does such a device exist? Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance
Not sure. Have you tried looking at powered USB type c hubs to see if this will also net the same result? I might consider this if and when I get a note8. Dex station might also do this. Haven't really checked it out but assume it will.
Sent from my LGV20 using yo Mama's unlocked bootloader.
Yeah you need a hub. I usually find eBay had better prices then Amazon
I just use this to project. Looking for another one that can charge etc.

USB C pasthrough powered docking typically has no Adaptive Charging.
A product that may fit your need for pass through charging. I'm using the j5create model JCA374. Ports include HDMI, Ethernet, 2x USB 3 OTG, Type C pass through power in (standard charging rate), and a USB C cable to connect to the hosting device.
Besides no support for Adaptive Charging it does get warm. I am considering attaching a heat sync to its metal case.
Enjoy your mobile life.

The DEX station has two caveats I am aware of.
It does have a USB C input charging port. This port does not support adaptive charging. So I am concerned that a heavily utilized phone could slowly discharge despite the charger. This was the one flaw I could not surmount with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 tablet.
The DEX station male USB C docking port is to short to support any case that provides any coverage around the phones port.
Enjoy your mobile life.
Does the j5create model JCA374 start Dex on the S8? are USB transfers truly 3.0 speeds and gigabit truly over 100Mbps using this adapter? I'm looking at this as an alternative to the Dex station because I use an Otterbox Defender case on my S8 and also because of the lower price. Thanks.

[review]RAVPower Fast Wireless Charger

RAVPower sent me their latest wireless charging pad, which is capable of fast charging the Note 8 and other compatible devices up to 10W wirelessly. I've used many RAVPower battery banks in the past, but had never used any of their chargers and have to say I'm very impressed with the build quality. I've had countless Qi pucks, stands, pillows and other contraptions since first getting my Nexus 4 and the build quality of this is up there with the best of them, probably only rivaled by the second generation square Nexus charger, which is an all time favorite of mine. The RAVPower charging puck is very hefty due in part to an aluminum base, and the weight and rubber feet ensure that it wont slide around your desk or nightstand. The top of the charger also has a rubber ring with just enough grip for the phone to stay right where you left it down, and not move around if your desk gets bumped. On the front is an unobtrusive LED which has different color patterns to let you know not only if your device is charging, full or something is wrong, but it also differentiates when it is fast charging versus standard. The pad itself has a way to detect non-compatible objects and shut the power off. I had no problem charging the various Qi devices I've got around the house, and the LED is dim enough to not be bothersome in the dark. As an added benefit it turns off once your device is charged.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that RAVPower includes a QC 3.0 24W wall charger and a 3.9' braided microUSB cable. Personally I would have rather seen it use Type C, but at least they are both high quality add-ons and not a cheap afterthought as they are with many of the chargers I've tried. I initially made the mistake of trying the wireless charger with a USB hub I had, but the light just blinked red and it wouldn't charge anything. Turns out you need to use a charger that's capable of providing 9V in order for it to work. Once I used the included wall adapter things worked perfectly. Overall this is a great little package that'll provide full speed fast wireless charging to your Galaxy and Note devices, as well as work with the upcoming iPhones for all of you defectors out there . I'd highly recommend this, if you want to try it out they provided me with an XDA exclusive code XDABRAIN which gets you 20% off through 10/15 http://amzn.to/2ybD5qZ. (For those wondering, I'm not receiving any commission/kickback/other compensation for this coupon or link.)
