Hello, I've saw a good brand that provides chargers. It's called 'Anker'. I'm not sure if it is worth it or it's expensive for its quality...?
Hmmm, have anyone here can recommend other chargers? I want a charger to be cheap as possible but also has a good quality. Thanks!
My experience is often the usb cable ca be culprit when phone charges slow.. bought a fancy Anker cable and now charges around 1.8 instead of 1.4 or so w my older cable

What does it mean? The lower the voltage, the faster it charge? Hmmm
A quality cable chargers faster (more mA)

I'm using 'hoco.' brand of charger that has Volt/Ampere indicator to monitor how well it will charge (not by software, but from charger itself), maximum output 2.1 Amperes, as I prefer that way. Anker is really cost prohibitive here in my perspective as a broke man ($20 onwards and probably does the same as other 2 amperes chargers for our devives).

Well, I've got myself an Anker too, during the discounted 12.12 sale, and indeed it is more of a quality oriented (and it's as huge as iPad adaptor)
Will also get an Anker cable soon.

Wow, I bought that car charger for my sisters Acer netbook. So, you say it will work with my A7. I am in no way an electrical engineer. If the A7 requires 1.57A and the car adapter output is 1.6A is there any issue with this 0.03A difference?
The current (Amp) is not the issue. It is the voltage that is more critical - needs to be 19 Volts. As long as your charger can put out the same or more A it will charge the unit, if it had less A, it would still charge but get hotter and take longer to charge.

So if I have a charger with higher A and higher voltage than the a7 requires, is it safe to use it? (Specifically an extra laptop charger.) The adapter looks exactly the same, and fits correctly (I've only tried it with the charger unplugged). Any advice you could offer would be great! Thanks!
Higher amps yes but higher volts no.Think of it this way,Volts is the amount of electricity that the charger puts out and the amps is the strength that it pushes it out.So to many volts is bad but extra amps.means that it should charge faster and not get as hot or warm as usual. Hope this helps.
I tried using the charger from my Acer AspireOne netbook (HacBook Mini ) last night.
Same voltage, same amperage. But when I took the tablet out of sleep mode this morning it was only showing 50% charge. Restarting it made it show 99%. Don't know if it was something to do with using the netbook charger, or something to do with an eLocity glitch, or something to do with a eLocityMod1.3 glitch... To many options to blame it on lol

I have used the Radioshack Enercell netbook power supply and it works perfectly. Product number :273-0407. a bit preicey at 59.99 but i know its safe

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/insigni...lack/5690015.p?id=1219148349637&skuId=5690015
Seems like it would work but there are two things i would like to point out. First this is not a quick charge 2.0 charger so fast charge will not work with it, it will charge at normal rate. Also for myself i try to get wall chargers with removable cables just in case my pet eats thru it I can replace them easily and trust me i have gone through 4 cables in the last 4 months. That said i have had good experiences with ones bought from Ebay as well since the prices are far too tempting.
Is rapid charge the same as quick charge?

Usually not at all. What people claim as "rapid charge" is just a small increase in amperage (usually 2+ amps). By reference, USB 2.0 spec is 500mA.
Quickcharge 2.0 increases both the voltage and the amperage it can supply (is. even more wattage). The exact values are negotiated by the phone and what it draws - which is dependent on the current phase of charging.
Here's the exact same one we got with our note 4, OEM and everything! Plus it's way cheaper than the insignia one

I'll report back here after testing them Friday went they arrive! Eeeek! I'm excited lol!
Just got the chargers. All seem to work well and indicate fast charging via phone. Will report back if they fail or anything unexpected.
Can I use the fast charging brick with another cord and have fast charging?
I'm looking for a cable that I can use to take advantage of the full potential of my Anker wall charger. It uses Qualcomm quick charge but the cable it came with charges really slow. The lg stock cable is alright, but even my previous samsung cable is faster. Are there any cables out there that will allow my phone to charge faster? I hear a 28/24 gauge cable is faster, but is that dangerous to use?
Update: I ended up getting the 10ft Anker nylon braided charging cable because I have an Anker wall charger and I want a durable cable. I calculated the voltage drop over the length of the cable and decided it isn't enough to make a big difference so I went for it. Oddly enough I get a slightly higher charge rate than the 1ft cable that came with my wall charger! Thank you for all your input everyone!

I've seen good reviews of the Anker with its included cable.
How slow is it charging? You know that QC 2.0 is not fully implemented on the G4?
Ampere said around 500mah with the anker cable. But with my lg cable I got 1300+. This was all with the screen off, but when it's on for a while it goes down to 250mah. Does it really make that big of a drop? Is the g4 just a slow charging phone in general and there not much I can do to change that? I'm aware quick charge isn't fully implemented but I figured it should at least be reasonably faster than normal charging.

28/24???
If you want a good charging cable take one that is max AWG 20.
The higher the number is, the thinner cable inside is, the more it will "resist" to the current.
AWG20 will offer less resistance than AWG24 and so would charge faster.
Would this be a good cable to buy then? It is specifically for charging and the reviews seem promising.

It should since it is 20 AWG, but it is only for charging, no data on this one.
I personaly did bought an other brand :
http://www.amazon.com/Aukey-3-Pack-...UTF8&qid=1435505986&sr=1-2&keywords=Aukey+usb
It is not clearly stated in its description but it has :
28AWG for data
and
20AWG for charging
So it could charge as fast as the first one you quoted.
Yeah I don't need the data cable which is why I like that one. Does the length of the cable effect the charge speed noticeablely? I'm thinking of getting a long one

Yes.
Google a litle and you will find website that calculate* it for you.
* the loss of voltage, in heat etc... depending on the lenght and section of your cable
i only choose which highest stars in amazon
whatever anything i want to buy on internet,
i just choose something which highest stars in amazon.
Check the cables from portapow if your amazon has them - they are very good charging cables.

Seriously, all the cables that came with the Quick Charger 2.0 are the best and the stock cable too. I have purchased all kind of cables from Amazon including Portapow, which is the same as the QC 2.0 charger cable. The length of the cable also play a part. You really want to test it with a USB Doctor volt tester that support more than 7V. Ampere alone don't tell you the exact figure. I'll not spend any money for a standalone cable that claimed to be the fastest. I returned all those cable i got from Az.

You can try oppo r7's charger (ak755), its “vooc charge” supports the dash charge as well.
But don't choose model ak775/ak779, though the oneplus3 shows dash charging while using these two, they charge slower than ak755...

OPPO AK779 Charger (Support Dash) (15$) + Orignal Cable (5$) from Aliexpress. = 20$
I had been waiting for aftermarket Dash charging products and found a car charger on Amazon listed for $17.99
It works perfectly fine and "Dash" charges.
It comes with a Dash charging cable as well.
There were a couple other identical ones by different names but this one already had some positive reviews.
Update: It looks like the"APLUS" ones are out of stock. However, these LULUTEK ones are identical, just with a different label. They have really good reviews as well.

that was my first test after receiving the convertor and phone battery was 80%-ish.

It seemed that most of the devices that would charge at 5V/3A via USB-C to USB-C cable on my Nexus 5X, would only charge at about 2.4A on the OP5T.

No, the silver car charger in the adapter is QC3.0 from ZMI brand, along with QC2DASH convertor and charging meter when I first have it tested.
So just in case anyone is interested, here is ampere on the OEM wall charger that came with my phone (1st picture 3300 mA) as well as the Aplus dash car charger (2nd pic 3440). Interestingly the Aplus charger seems to charge ever so slightly faster, with a little more voltage and mA. I haven't noticed any issues with heat or anything else so far. I'm pretty happy with it, especially for the price.
now, if they would re-stock them...
