I got the Aukey 2.4A car charger before the 3A one was released. Works well with my Benson approved A to C cable. I got from 32% to 60% this morning in 20 minutes.

However, I notice that on radio stations which have a relatively weak signal, when I plug the phone in I get increased static on the car radio. This does not happen when I plug the phone in via USB directly but it does happen on BOTH of my charge outlets in the car. Has anyone else tried the Aukey 2.4A car charger or experienced this weird radio interference issue?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Got the new Aukey Type C car charger yesterday. Got an Anker cable for it because Aukey's in black was sold out.

Will need some time to see how well it works with the screen off, screen on with music, and especially using turn-by-turn navigation with video/music at the same time. The last one, would actually still drain but very slowly with my previous Anker 2.4A charger with A to C cable.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] emd2009:
What cable did you buy?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
I said what cable and it's right there in the pic. Anker. Type C to type C.

hi everyone

what do u think about this nekteck 3A charger?

USB Type C Car charger, Nekteck 5.4A USB-C Car Charger Adapter with Integrated Built-in Type-C 3.1

cant decide if its better to go with this nekteck or an older tomsomat 2.4a

thanks!
[Nexus 5X Accessories] emd2009:
I was looking for a link. Thanks.

I did some research and found some legit positive reviews for the BlitzWolf 5V/3A charger. I ordered it yesterday and it arrived today.

Confirmed "Rapid Charging" on my 5X.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B017941M8I

Everyone please keep in mind that for rapid charging, you have to have usb type-c on both ends of the cable, or one of the chargers that has a usb-c extension cable coming directly from the device.

I saw the Nekteck and it looked like a legit 5v/3a charger. I can confirm however that the BlitzWolf one works great. (See link above).
[Nexus 5X Accessories] sardox25:
thanks

actually I've already ordered one Nekteck and will get it tuesday, run some test and add some data here about this charger both ports :p
[Nexus 5X Accessories] mikeosu:
For those with the new 5V/3A chargers, have you had any interference with the car radio? My 2.4A aukey charger causes static on the FM radio.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
I don't use the radio much but when I have I didn't notice any static or interference.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] mikeosu:
That's the new aukey one? Weird thing is, it only happens on weak stations for me so strong signal ones aren't affected.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah the new one. All my presets are pretty strong though.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] arelion:
Ordered one, thanks!
[Nexus 5X Accessories] miguel.marques:
Quick question, how about getting one of those Belkin 12W car charger? Has anyone tried those?

I think they're meant for the iPhone/iPad, maxing out at 12W/2.4A, would they rapid charge a 5X using a proper USB 2.0 A to USB C cable (the google one instance)?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
It'll say "Fast Charging" but it's not going to be close to the stock wall charger speed. First, it's is 2.4A as opposed to 3.0. Second, A to C cable doesn't do 3.0A either.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] darkgiant:
So just out of curiosity, and not trying to hijack this thread, what is the general conesnus with car chargers? Which one is the best for the Nexus 6P, that also has the fast charge? I have the Vinsic one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014F2NQ36?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00) but am open to changing it if these aren't recommended.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Vinsic passed Benson's tests but I prefer a brand I've heard so I went with Aukey.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] GetYourSailOn:
I went with the Aukey.

I was on the road yesterday. Nexus 5x and Nexus 7 charging. The 5x was in the Type C port. Nexus 5x battery started at 20%. The 7 was at 50%. The 5X was running navigation, screen on and streaming google music or a podcast the entire trip. In about 1.5 hours both 5x and 7 were at 100%.

Very pleased!

Next will bring another cable and plug in my wife's Nexus 6 in at the same time and see how the Aukey handles it.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Interesting. Although I've gotten nice fast charging with the screen off, I actually still get the battery draining with navigation and music streaming. I'm not the only one though that gets a slow or no charge with the screen on as seen on:

Was that with the AUKEY 49.5W 3-Port Type-C USB Car Charger? I see that post you referenced was from Oct 25th. I don't think the AUKEY 49.5W 3-Port Type-C USB Car Charger was released until sometime in Dec. At least I didn't find it on Amazon until then.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah the new one I linked and mentioned on December 19. There was a coupon deal for $6 off.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] pkadavid:
I have this one, and it's been amazing. With only one phone connected, it charges as fast as the wall charger (from my anecdotal evidence) with screen on and off, and it costs only $6.99. Got one for each car. I have yet to try it with my wife's iPhone connected, but it should split the charge, meaning it will still get 2.4A, which is enough. It has a small footprint in the lighter, which is nice too.

I am very uneducated with the entire new technology with the Nexus 6P fast charging, but going with either the Visnic or the Aukey, or whatever brand car charger, does it damage the phone by any means? I don't often charge my phone in the car, but if I were to travel long distances, I always use my phone as the GPS, so having that fast charge (so my phone doesn't die) is always something I look for, and am open to switching up my part if that is the case.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Aleq:
Tested "Vinsic 3A Car Charger with Type C Female Output & Standard USB Output Adaptor" from eBay

Nexus reports rapid charging on lock screen (doesn't matter if connected to USB-C or USB-A with A-to-C cable). Ampere measured around 1900 mA (the phone was at 54 %). The battery percentage climbed almost in front of my eyes. Maybe there are faster adapters, but this one is definitely pretty fast (and cheap).
[Nexus 5X Accessories] miguel.marques:
I've just tried this and the 5X is only taking about 930/940 ma. It doesn't even say fast charging, just charging. My Nexus was at 90% though, so I need to try it again with less battery on my Nexus to see if that affects anything.

Measured with Ampere, Belkin 12W car charger and Google's USB-C to USB A cable.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] miguel.marques:
Update: I tested again with 20% battery and it now says charging rapidly and according to Ampere it is taking around 2A. Not bad.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah. Pretty standard. Better than below standard.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Cloudane:
I bought the Aukey type C and it lasted a day. I don't think it was able to handle the voltage surge from starting the car (which they really should! Starting happens a lot in cars and dirty voltage is to be expected) as it fried when I turned the key and popped the accessory socket fuse. Now if I plug it in, it pops the fuse every time, so it's on its way back to Amazon.

Wondering if the Tronsmart would be any better... it looks exactly the same and sounds like it's manufactured at the same place, but only claims a 2.4A output on type-c and not 3A like Aukey's spec does. So maybe the innards are different or not pushed as hard.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Wow that's crazy. I've been using it for over a month now with no problem. Do you happen to plug it your phone before starting your car? Cause I noticed the instructions says not to have a device plugged when starting. Also, I leave the charger plugged in all the time.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Cloudane:
Oh really? That's interesting. Don't recall seeing that, but then I don't tend to check the instructions for something basic like a charger :eek: Maybe it needs a big red warning label wrapped around it or something if having the device plugged in while starting can break it...

But yeah the phone was already plugged in. That's a bit of a flaw for anyone with a modern car that turns off at traffic lights etc!

Just glad it doesn't appear to have damaged the phone in any way.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
What car are you driving that turns off the outlet at stops? A hybrid? My 2013 Passat doesn't do that.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Cloudane:
It doesn't, I just know there are cars that shut off the engine when they're stopped for a minute or so these days, seen it a bit. No idea if it'd turn off the socket or not - I doubt it as they're usually either always-on, or on when the ignition's on. Mine's always on.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Oh okay. I was a bit confused by the engine off/on at stops and why it would affect the car charger.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Brady0123:
I wonder if this one can be used for Nexus 6P? :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Which one?

The Car Charger
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah but are you talking about the original post car charger? There's several mentioned throughout the thread.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] C3C076:
I can confirm that Blitzwolf car charger works wonders. My Nexus 5X went from 37% to 70% during 1 hour trip with Waze navigation running.

Seems to be of good build quality, as well.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Was the screen on or off during that hour? Cause if it was on that's pretty good.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] C3C076:
Well, Waze navigation with screen off would not be as useful :)

That means yes - with screen on.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
True. It did sound like a dumb question but charging with the screen on is known to slow down the charging a lot so that's why I asked. Sometimes I turn off my screen and just listen to the audio.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] C3C076:
Maybe another factor is that I have a holder that is attached to an air vent grill which provides enough cooling for the phone.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
True. That does help. I have a CD slot car mount and am able to point one of the vent to my phone. It has helped a little bit. Might point both vent and see how it does.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
So I pointed both of my vents at my phone while charging and having YouTube playing during my drive home. It looks like it kept the phone cool enough to charge at a decent rate. 22 minute drive got me 15 percent which would usually only be around 5 percent. Battery temp was 81.5°F according to my widget.

[Nexus 5X Accessories] Icon000:
I got the charger listed above which started off great but now it only charges some of the time and I haven't been able to figure out what is going with it. I've tried it in my car a toyota yaris and my wife's car a subaru forester. It doesn't perform well in either car. I'm currently in the process of trying to get Tronsmart to replace both of them since we got them back in Nov and they started giving us issues in Feb. Of Course all this started after the period amazon would let us return them. When i mentioned to Tronsmart that I got it off amazon they asked for the order numbers and the vendor, who of course what not an authorized reseller. They are still working with me but now they want a video of both of them not work before they'll do anything.

If I can I'm going to ask for my money back. So what other car chargers are reliable and do quick charging?

I've seen this thread here http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/help/rooted-nexus-6-updating-to-android-6-0-t3228796 but It doesn't really answer my question. I've also read that I can just flash the system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img without losing data, but will I lose my root or anything else by doing that?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
What is required for root work?

Root adds a binary file and some scripts to the /system partition

What happens when you flash a system.img?

Everything in the /system partition is wiped and replaced with the contents of the system.img
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steam374:
So, basically as long as I flash super su in twrp I'll be good to go?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Well, not quite, because on 6.0, you also need a modified boot.img (kernel) too, to get root.

The main question is, are you encrypted? If so it is fairly easy and I will let you know what to do. But if you are not encrypted there is an extra step.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steam374:
Yeah, I'm totally stock besides root and twrp. I used the nexus tool kit to obtain root and an unlocked bootloader.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
OK.

So flash system.img and boot.img (you may also want to flash bootloader.img and radio.img). You do not need recovery.img.

Boot android as 100% stock until it starts up. This will likely replace TWRP with the stock recovery.img too. If you don't boot with the stock boot.img, you will likely get a bootloop once rooting. (unencrypted users need to flash a modified stock boot.img instead of stock, that does not enforce encryption and boot with that).

Flash chainfires modified boot.img, TWRP.img then boot into recovery and flash latest SuperSU beta (2.52 I think)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steam374:
Okay! Thank you very much! This is the help I needed.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steam374:
So I was successfully able to flash Android 6.0 thanks to your steps. Is there any benefit to updating my radio? I just fear I could brick my device because I remember the old Evo 3D days when that happened.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Older HTC devices did seem to have issues with a dodgy radio flash. if you disconnected the connection / power during a radio flash, it could corrupt the filesystem and wasn't easy to fix. Often thought to be a brick. I saw that commonly on the Original HTC Desire.

The great thing with Nexus devices are that you can fastboot format partitions which will repair the file system, so you shouldn't have an issue with bricking from flashing a radio. I literally haven't seen a radio brick for years. That said, still be careful when it comes to power and USB connectivity.

Different radios may work better for you. There are too many variables to say that Radio X will work better than Radio Y for you, but there definitely can be improvements to be found by trying different ones.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steam374:
Okay, thanks again you're always very helpful (: I also didn't update the bootloader is that okay?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If it boots up, then yes that is fine. Only may see an issue with older 5.0 bootloaders on 6.0 but 5.1.x is fine.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steam374:
Okay, that should conclude my questions. Sorry for all the noob questions. I did all my major custom rom flashing back when the evo 3d was just released. Things are still very similar, but there's always that extra bit to learn. Thanks again for all the help and have a great day.

[Off-topic] Airwheel:
From look, it is hard to tell the difference between Airwheel M3 and the traditional skateboard. They both have 4 wheels and a board, which means that the riding experiences and tactics have some similar parts. The true breakthrough is Airwheel M3’s inner part. Unlike the common skateboard, Airwheel M3 motorized skateboard is driven by electricity.

The high-quality Song lithium-ion battery, imported from Japan, ensures a comfortable and smooth travelling. The capacity of the battery is 81.4Wh and another one is 163 Wh. They meet the different needs of different people. Powered by electricity, Airwheel M3 reaches the maximum speed of 18 Km/h, which is energy-saving and provides a totally different riding experience. :cowboy::cowboy::cowboy:

Airwheel peruses new science and technology. Similar to other model of Airwheel intelligent scooter, Airwheel M3 is outfitted with the most intelligent chips. The design of double circuits and double main control chips helps users to have a better control of the electric skateboard. When they move their bodies slightly, they can control the skateboard to move forwards or backwards, and turn left or right, which is much more convenient, compared with the traditional skateboard.
