[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
I know others were interested in Type C docking solutions since Qi Wireless is out, and someone brought this one up before.

http://www.kidigi.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=112#.ViUocvkViFk

It is actually available now for order though, $48. The Type C connector can be raised or lowered as needed for cases.

OVERVIEW

Features:

• Adjustable connector platform: compatible with protective case with different thickness.

• Charge your device.

• Sync with Computer.

• Flexible connector for easy undocking.

Model No : LC-UTC

For : OnePlus Two , Lenovo ZUK Z1, Google Nexus 6P , Google Nexus 5X , Microsoft Lumia 950, Microsoft 950XL

Certificates:

● CE ＆RoHS

Package Contents:

● Sync & Charge Dock

● User Manual

● Silicon Sticky Pad

Only thing is I'm not sure about how it actually would charge. It shows a few shots of a USB A to Micro USB cable, then a few of it with what looks like a physically attached cable.

Who's getting it to test it for me US?

According to this one it maxes out at 2.4A
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SAL8116:
$48 bucks that a bit steep.

I'll wait for other options.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Second link has it for $39, some of their other retailers probably have it for cheaper. I'd pay that for a good dock, the TYLT VU was more expensive than that.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Fadakar:
35 bucks is simply too much for what appears to be a plastic shell. At least with the ridiculously overpriced Vu they give you the means to power your device without having to steal a cable from elsewhere in your collection.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ylexot:
Actually, that is an Australian site, so it is $39 AUD which is around $29 USD.

Of course, you'll get killed on shipping...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Good points both, thanks.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rdelfin:
Just ordered one. Hoping this cradle is compatible with Znaps
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Let us know how it works out. I don't think it will work with znaps and I'm a backer too. I didn't consider that when looking at these...

Damn.

The znaps adapters look kind of long and I think with the dock fully retracted it would still sit high and be unstable.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rufflez2010:
Waiting for RND to have theirs for purchase or when nakedcellphone carries them on ebay. Last year for the Nexus 6, RND had theirs available first, so I ordered from them. This exact dock was on AliExpress for bulk purchase and the USB connector had RND branding on it, so I'm sure it will be available soon as well.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
RND?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rufflez2010:
It's another company that has docks. Actually they are the same docks.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] EnglishLionheart:
It's actually on the American ebay priced @ £24.99, free shipping from China. Search "KiDiGi Omni Charger Cradle Desktop Dock for Smartphone with Type-C Charging Port". (Can't post hyperlinks yet as I'm still an XDA noob :D ) Ordered one myself from the UK.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rufflez2010:
Picked up on eBay for $25. They marked it shipped same day.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Let us know what you guys think when it comes in. I'm still interested in one of these but I'm willing to wait till I get one that charges fast enough.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rufflez2010:
I think that will mostly depend on what you plug it into. It doesn't come with the brick (at least its not included in the "Whats in the box" part). On Alibaba.com its rated at 1A @5V, on ebay its listed at 2A @5V. Its just a USB A to type C 2.0 cable, though so its going to charge at whatever your Type A power source is.

I won't be of much help to you as I'm not using this as a charger. I plug these docks into a USB 3.0 Hub that goes into my Mac Mini dev computer. My previous Kidigi/RND docks (same dock), didn't have the cable attached. These do. Can we modify it... probably. The other docks also had OTG support, which this one does not. I paid more for the Nexus 6 Docks though, and I never used the OTG port anyway.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Bah, you are a huge help to me.

Good points all around, some of the pictures I've seen of this one have attached cables, others show unattached cables. If it is unattached, I'm thinking 3.0A will work fine on it, they probably only tested with 2.4A chargers at max.

You know, like how the Micro SD card thing used to go? 32GB Micro SD capable, because that's the biggest one we could test with at the time.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AllyGraham:
I have just received my dock, and the Type A cable is wired straight into the dock.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ejkeebler:
This sounds like a good bedside dock, i'm not concerned with rapid charging while sleeping. That will free up my rapid charger for my living room or kitchen. Might have to consider this now. How long is the cable? 1m or 2m?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] millerd79:
It is now listed on Amazon for $25.99

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0177QVROC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AllyGraham:
My thoughts the same. It is about 1m, not got a measuring tape to hand at the moment.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Thanks. Can we get a few pictures now that it is in hand? I bet it'll work fine with a 3A charger.

Good point. I could care less about it at the bed, my Qi charger I currently use is slow but it doesn't matter at night.

I ALMOST bought it, and they only have 18 remaining, but...

Some quick pics after it arrived.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Second pic wanted me to request access.

Very nice though. Thoughts on it? I was going to order one but not arriving till December from Amazon or pay $59 on Ebay. Ugh. I'll wait and see what develops.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AllyGraham:
Pic issue sorted.

Looks and feels well built, but will have to wait until my 6P arrives next week to determine more than that.

Going to look for a C male to A female to allow it to work with the included charger, if I so wished to do it this way, or else I will stick with using my Nexus 5 charger for the overnight charging.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] SymbioticGenius:
Fast charging?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rufflez2010:
Doesn't come with a brick... so that depends on your brick. Not many 3A 5V USB-A bricks around, but if you had one, it would support the full speed. Otherwise, it will go at whatever you plug it into (typically 2-2.4 @5V for most higher end chargers). This will not charge at QuickCharge 2.0 speeds because the phone doesn't support it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SymbioticGenius:
Hmm...

So will 2.4 charge faster than 1.5 for example, or do you have to have 3.0 for any increase in charge speed?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rufflez2010:
Technically, it depends also on voltage. Assuming 5V, then yes.

Watts = Volts x Amps.

The way QuickCharge 2.0 works is by upping voltage, even though the amperage decreases to 1.5A. Its hard to cram electrons into a battery as it gets full. To combat that resistance, the voltage increases and amperage decreases, still increasing the overall power (wattage).

The 6P has a max of 15W input. I don't have the phone yet, but I believe fast charge works very similar without increasing the wattage. The claim of 7h battery life from 10 minutes of charging is from empty when its easier to cram electrons into the battery. Charging from 90% is much, much slower.

Sorry

TL DR:

yes, on the 6P.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] MoeDaddy:

[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
I know, this is so annoying. I almost bought it until I saw that at checkout.

LOL!!! I saw that - and still ordered two. Betcha 10-to-1 it will be here before I get my 128gb Aluminum 6P. Been PENDING for so long, I almost wanna cancel the darn thing....I said ALMOST!!! LOL!!!

And now with the whole "delayed shipments" debaucle (http://www.androidauthority.com/nexus-6p-shipments-delayed-25-refund-652225/) ...I'm guessing it will be 2016 until I hold my shiny new 6P in my hands. Way to go Google!

So, ummm, yeah.....don't mind the wait at all....:p:p
[Nexus 6P Accessories] GuinnessX:
I ordered one of these on 25 October and it arrived (from China) on 3 November... Not bad at all! More importantly, I can confirm that it does support full-speed fast charging. I've been using it in my office this week, where the Sprint signal is abysmal, and it takes my phone from 1% to 100% in 1.5 hours every time.

I am using the charging block that came with the phone and this USB A to C adapter.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Interesting, so your version of this doc has a detachable USB cable? Somebody else got it and said that it was permanently attached. I wonder if there's two different versions of this thing floating around. Did you get yours off of eBay or Amazon?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] GuinnessX:
No, it's permanently attached. Did you click the link to the adapter? It goes between the USB-A Male end of the cable and the USB-C Female port on the charging block.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
No, I didn't. I understand now. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jdenman03:
Than its not true 3 amps if it goes to a USB type A. So it may say rapidly charging but doesn't match to USB type C specifications. I'm not to keen on using devices that don't adhere to the type C specs.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bacdoliljo:
Looks like this dock will not charge at the full 5V3A as the back terminal is USB type A. No type A to C adapters would get you there if they even existed. It would have been nice if this was a C to C cable so we can plug it into the wall charger.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] GuinnessX:
Haven't my results proven that it is true, full-speed, rapid charging? It consistently charges from 1% to 100% in 90 minutes in an area with abysmal coverage. I expect that if I used it in a place with solid LTE reception, It would finish a bit quicker.

Oh, and I have also confirmed that it reaches 40-50% charge at 30 minutes and about 80% charge at 60 minutes. I will try it at home over the weekend, where I have better reception...

http://amzn.com/B012YOZ3YM
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rdelfin:
Why does phone signal reception (whether good or bad) have anything to do with charging speed?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bacdoliljo:
According to Benson Leung, any type A cable claiming to support 3A is not in spec and can be dangerous to use.

And your test doesn't prove that it charges at 3A. You also claimed your phone went from 1% to 100% in 1.5 hours. My phone charges in about 1 hour with the stock wall charger and cable.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] irononreverse01:
Poor signal means the phone uses more power trying to connect to a mast. Not sure if the drain is enough to have any impact on charge time though.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] GuinnessX:
It doesn't, directly, but poor signal strength can be a serious battery drain--even while charging.

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

I might not be reading the same post of his that you are, but the one here seems to be about a stand-alone USB C to A cable. I'm using a Type-C adapter that *might* be the reason my setup pulls the full 3A. I haven't read anything more that the post I linked on this topic, so I can't speak to how adapters might or might not be able to work within the spec to deliver the full 3A across a Type-A connector... All I know right now is that it works.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bacdoliljo:
I see. I thought you were referring to both the adapter you linked and the dock in the OP as as getting the full speed. I don't remember seeing anything about using adapters either but since a type A cable would be connected to one end of the adapter I would assume Benson's advice about type A cables still applies. Glad it's working out for you but I'd rather stay on the safe side especially since the battery isn't replaceable.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] GuinnessX:
Again, I have only read enough so far to be dangerous, but my understanding is that it is only possible to damage your charging block with an out-of-spec cable--not the phone. I'm using the block that came with the 6P, so it is definitely spec'd to deliver the proper current--regardless of whether or not a cable I plug into it is "lying" about what it should be capable of...

I think we're getting off topic. There is another thread dedicated to the cable controversy. I haven't read it yet, but I will when I have time.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ylexot:
FYI, I think the cable on the dock is out of spec based on this comment from Benson on G+:

"having the phone alternating between charging and not charging could very well be a symptom of the cable using the incorrect 3A resistor setting. The phone would start charging at a high level and the other side would brown out because the phone is drawing too much power, leading the phone to think it was disconnected and stop charging. Once it stops charging, the other side recovers and the cycle starts again.

This is exactly the behavior the spec was meant to avoid, and I would suggest holding off on using that cable until further notice.﻿"

I noticed this behavior last night when I plugged the phone in. I ordered one of those C to A adapters so that I can also use the stock charger with the dock.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] vigos:
So you're using it with the adapter and the stock charger? I wonder if you'd see the same behavior with a regular charger (brick).
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ylexot:
Not yet. I ordered the adapter. I should have it on Wednesday.

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM ----------

BTW, the dock is ok, but the connector doesn't go down far enough. So even with it all the way down, the phone is not touching the base. Also, I don't like that the connector is spring loaded to try to push the phone against the back support. It makes it difficult to line the phone up with the connector. I might open it up and remove the spring.

Here's the responses from Kidigi about a to C charging issue:

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Kamaji,

I had a quick test on my newly purchased Nexus X5 with the following setting:

- Nexus X5 (32G), Hong Kong version

- KiDiGi LC-UTC

- Apple Macbook Pro

It was working normal at 4.8-4.9V / 0.89A – 0.98A, the screen of X5 showed ‘Charging’

After 20 minutes, the Macbook Pro was working normal and all the connectors (Type-C to Nexus 5 & USB 2.0 to Macbook Pro) were in normal room temperature.

- Nexus X5 (32G), Hong Kong version

- KiDiGi LC-UTC

- KiDiGi 5V/2.1A Adaptor

It was charging normal at 4.9V – 5.12V / 0.95A – 1.05A, the screen of X5 showed ‘Charging’ and sometime jumped to ‘Rapid Charging’.

After 20 minutes, the Nexus 5 was getting a bit warm and the Adaptor was at normal room temperature.

To my understanding, the 56 kΩ Pull up Resistor is used to identify (the cable or the dock) itself as a “Default USB 2.0 Power”, then the 5X will only ask for a default current (i.e. 1.0 – 2.4A).

When the cable / the dock uses a 10kΩ Pull up Resister, the 5X will ask the source of power (AC Adaptor / Notebook Computer / USB Hub) for 3A current. Surely if the source of power (AC Adaptor / Notebook Computer / USB Hub) is able to provide 3A current, then that will damage the Type A connector (as USB 2.0’s default current is only 2.4A. But if the source of power could only provide 2.4A or below, then the dock should be fine……

My engineer will perform testing overnight tonight and I will let you know more.

Thanks

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Yes, the Type-C connector we used for making this dock comes with a 10kΩ pull up resistor, same as most of the other cables.

Under USB 2.0 / 3.0 specification, the 10kΩ pull up resistor was used to identify itself as supporting ‘maximum power’ but at that time ‘maximum power’ was 2.4A.

And that was our engineers’ mistake carrying on using 10kΩ in this dock.

We have pulled the product off our production line and I think we are going to change the resistor to 56kΩ instead

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hi Kamaji,

Yes we have tested thru overnight and all fine.

I could ensure you that the dock works perfectly fine & safe with maximum input power = 5.0V/ 2.0A.

We will continue shipping this dock with the same configuration and we will change to use 22k ohm PR in late December this year.

Let me know if you still want to keep the dock on hand or not, I shall arrange refund accordingly.

Thanks

I really appreciate their effort. I'll buy an improved dock too from them. Now I'm waiting my refund and they told me that I can keep the non-compatible dock too.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nbaj2k:
Thanks for posting this, good info. It's too bad there wasn't any mention of a USB-C to USB-C connection dock so we could charge at full speed.

Either way, with this info in going to just hold off buying a dock until late December. Hopefully there is a way to know which is a newer version and which is older.

Just curious, did you email the Kidigi site?

[Nexus 6P Accessories] kamajikaciya:
I got a refund. I think it's a bit dangerous to use it now. Because it's inner cable tries to pull up 3A but any type a charger is not capable to push 3A right now.
