I second this. I have been digging into this the last few days. Here is what I have gathered. In order to be to "spec" USB A to C cables are only to pull up to 2.4A. USB C to C are only to pull up to 3A.

So, in my opinion it would be a waste to buy any USB A type wall chargers. I know I will only be looking at USB C type wall chargers myself. I mean, I want to take full advantage of and utilize the technology of my new phone to the fullest.

Now, in theory, if you had a USB A to USB C cable that was out of spec (3A pull) and a USB A wall charger that was capable of outputting 3A, it would charge as fast as a USB C to USB C. Like I said, in theory.

The problem that is going around right now is that the USB C side of a bunch of the USB A to USB C cables is trying to pull 3A, when it is only suppose to be pulling 2.4A max. The problem with that is, most wall chargers, usb ports on computers, etc can not handle outputting 3A. So, they can (and do!) brown out. (fry out / die / permanent damage)

I have been looking around for wall chargers with actual USB C ports on them, but I have yet to come across any. (Other than the stock chargers for the 5X and 6P and the ones on the google store) I will keep an eye on this thread, and will update when I do.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kamajikaciya:
It looks like that the main issue is the a to c cable. I'm telling this because as I said there's a 3A pull-up capable type a charger with Qualcomm QC 3.0:

http://www.tronsmart.com/products/tronsmart-wc1t-quick-charge-3.0-wall-charger

It means; at least; that type a - micro usb is capable to push/pull up 3A but if the limit on a to c is max. 2.4A this cables are not capable. It's really interesting. I know nothing about cables technically.

But with my high school physics knowledge I can say that if type c corner may pull-up 3A from the charger and if the charger is incapable and becomes hot it means that the cable tries to pullup 3A and also type a corner of the cable may pull 3A.

So if the charger is capable to push 3A a to c may pull up to 3A.

Why we say a to c does only up to 2.4A then?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kamajikaciya:
The answer for this question from Benson:

Tronsmart's Quick Charge 3.0 charger has a Type-A port, and if you read the fine print, at 5V, it is only allowed to output 2A. This charger is NOT capable of 3A.

Furthermore, you misunderstand the need for the pullup resistor. The pullup resistor is on a new pin in the Type-C connector and plug that doesn't exist on Type-A or Type-B plugs or connectors called CC or Configuration Channel.﻿
[Nexus 5X Accessories] gizzmoffm:
A to C cables have to advertise default USB power which is 0,5A, because that it how USB used to work.

More current can be negotiated using a special combination of resistors connected to the data lines. There is 0.5, 1.5 and 2.4A, (and possibly more negotiations I don't remember)
[Nexus 5X Accessories] kamajikaciya:
May you be a little bit specific? We will get only 0,5A with a to c cables or it depends on charger's capacity?

For example I have 1 FrieQ and 2 Google a to c cable. Which ampere this cables will be able to pull from charger? 0,5A always or up to 2,4A max?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] gizzmoffm:
With a USB A to C cables which fulfils the specs, the phone will first see a legacy USB Port with 0.5A and then it can negotiate a higher current up to 2.4A.

What is possible depends on the charger though.

You may Google for 'USB DCP divider mode' to find more information about possible combinations.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Rektifying:
USB C is going to be the standard in the future. I don't own a tablet, or any other devices myself. So I have no need for any type A adapters now. I am just going to stick with Type C to C adapters for my 5X. Seems the best way to go. I bought 1 x 3' USB A to USB C cable and it is only for hooking my 5X to my computer.

I bought the Vinsic charger and a 3' USB C to USB C cable for my car. Both were approved by Benson. The Vinsic charger is a car charger, and it has a 3A USB C Port on it. The 5X displays "charging rapidly" when plugged into it. (It also has a 2.4A USB A port on it as well, but you wont get full amperage when charging two devices at the same time) Sorry, I know you said no car chargers but it goes with the whole USB A is 2.4A and USB C is 3A, just like house chargers. Now, that Quick Charger 3.0 adapter is interesting. I wonder if the 2.4A spec only applies to USB A to USB C cables. Can a USB A to Micro USB cable pull 3A?

I am still looking around and keeping an eye out for more USB C house charges. I will post my findings.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] st8chic:
That is the answer. I'm currently testing this quick charge with AC cable, and using a Type-C charger with CC cable.

[Nexus 5X Accessories] st8chic:
It is well built and works fine...almost the same speed as the OEM charger.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] tgearman:
I picked up their Type C-C cable and charger and have had a week to compare them to the OEM units we received with our handset.

I was expecting marginal quality because of the low cost and unfamiliar manufacturer. When the order arrived, I was impressed with the packaging, which speaks volumes to me. When you make a quality product, presentation matters. Conversely, when your selling junk, you throw it in the cheapest plastic bag possible and call it good.

After using this cable and charger exclusively for the past seven days, I can confirm it's as good as the OEM. Personally, I like the Choetech cable better because it's sturdier in my hand.

They now have a power bank up on Amazon which will be my next purchase. I'm confident that it will be solid based on my experience with them to date. I saw a similar power bank that was given in a Project Fi welcome kit and I've been lusting over one ever since. :)

[General Questions and Answers] eoh7678:
All;

Just a quick question, one hopefully some very smart person here will know the answer to!

I'm trying to find the flat-out cheapest phone, be it prepaid, unlocked, or whatever, that I can either root if necessary, or just plug and go via USB-OTG adapter to use a USB barcode scanner.

Here's my setup:

I already have this: USB Wireless Barcode Scanner

I also have this: USB-OTG Adapter

These together work just fine to enter scanned barcodes in any text field using a Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy SII, or pretty much any other flagship phone.

However, when I try using any other cheap prepaid, it just doesn't work. Further checking seems to indicate that the phone ROM needs to support adding a USB input device as an input method. Sadly, I've not found a reliable way of determining which phones allow this.

So, if anyone has and ideas of a cheap phone that will work with the above referenced USB barcode scanner, I'd truly appreciate it!

Thanks!
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balpem:
My camera starts only very slow since I have rooted my device. Only root with Lollipo 5.1 no custom rom.

When I click to open the camera, a black screen pops up and I have to wait for 5 seconds until I can use the camera.

Same when I want to use the flashlight in the dark. It takes 5 seconds for it to start and 5 seconds to turn off. When shooting a picture after the camera has started, the flash works normally.

Another problem I have is, when shooting a picture, I have to hold the camera very calm because I found a setting to change the picture quality to "High quality, slow shoot" and this affects the speed when taking a picture. Unfortunally this setting seems to have gonne. I upgraded to Android 5.1 and since than I cant find it anymore.

Has anyone a idea what could cause these problems?

I once had problem with sandisk too, it gets randomly dismounted then mounted again and that's not from restarting. It also happened to my wife's zenfone 2 550 and zenfone laser until she finally decided to replace it with samsung like what i did.

Idk whether this problem exist in every zenfone 2 and other zenfone released after, but grats if some of you didn't experience the problem, but if i were you i won't risk it by buying cheap sandisk. There once an update (i forgot, between 150ish-168 on 551) that address sdcard issue, but I haven't tried putting in sandisk again after it.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dredmentia:
Hello all,

I recently purchased a LG G4 Back In July , on Verizon, switching over from A Galaxy Note 3 (Tmobile). Honestly I really really like the phone, but I think the battery life is pitiful for a $700 dollar "Flagship" phone. I mean not once has it ever lasted the full day. I had to buy a spare battery kit, with 2 batteries, and days when im out from 6am to late at night, I go through 2 batteries, and have to put the 3rd one in. I mean , this is simply unacceptable for a phone like this.

Also, the camera is excellent WHEN it works. A lot of times, it doesn't take the picture right away, there is a delay, and many times it falls out of focus. This is certainly not the high quality camera they advertised.

I am hoping there is a way to fix these 2 issues, mainly the battery issue though because it is awful in my opinion. Is there any tweaks or fixes for these issues?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spudnubs:
You've barely given any relevant information other than how unhappy you are with the device, so I would suggest that you elaborate on that.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leomchd:
You could inform us if you're a heavy/light user, if you keep NFC, LTE, Bluetooth, Syncing, Wi-Fi, on during the whole day or maybe if you are used to 100% brightness display. Maybe you should check in your settings what is draining your battery and provide us the info.

I'm having a pretty good experience with the phone so far. It surely lasts a whole day with 3:30 to 4h SoT. I don't even need/have a spare battery.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_scotsman:
One person having an issue doesn't mean it's not a great camera. You'll find it's likely still the best flagship camera of any OEM.

Battery use is so dependent on which apps you run, which mods you have, how often the screen is on, what brightness, signal strength, wifi, bluetooth, etc etc etc...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Disorganise:
I came from a galaxy s3 and reckon the battery on g4 is awesome. I use it solidly on internet for 2 hrs a day (to and from work), check messages etc through the day, usually internet at lunch. And then evening time check facebook etc over WiFi infront of telly.

I unplug at 6am and plug in around 11pm with around 3% left. I bought a 2nd battery and only needed to use it twice. It has to be how you're using it.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
13 hours on battery for me today and still 71% left. Light usage but it does illustrate that the battery life can be excellent.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Furma:
of course, you can get excellent battery life on every smartphone - just put it in aeroplane mode..

I get MAX 3h of SOT time on my G4 - this is with fixed brightness at 65% (at all times) and only wifi and 3g enabled (NFC, bluetooth and everything else is turned off all the time)

to be fair I have yet to own a smartphone that lasts me more than 4h SOT..

the thing that annoys me the most is the broken knock code used to unlock the phone - it works 20% of the time at best

its a completely broken feature LG has not properly addressed since launch of the device (I am on V10e software)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
There have been numerous firmware updates since. Have you ever performed a full factory reset after getting those updates ?

If the answer is no, then this is one potential reason for poor battery life. What you could try is to clear the system cache in recovery. Note, i said system cache not apps cache. Idea here is when updates come in there could be conflicts and it causes the system to work harder. clearing system cache might help, if it does not then the only option is a factory reset and then a manual install.

not restore. You install apps in batches, monitor, then install more and so on. You can restore contacts etc. but apps themselves will have to be reinstalled. Sometimes apps go rogue and have to be reinstalled. Its hard to tell which app is causing the issue. Otherwise you could just reinstall whatever app that seems to be taking up more than it should be.

What are you doing on your phone ? mention apps.

How do you access the net. How good is your signal. What are you doing when you access the net.

What types of shots are these. It can happen with portraits some times. It will focus on the background behind the person instead of the person and the face becomes softer and the background very sharp.

For this set focus little above the chest instead of the face. If they are wearing dark clothing this will cause other issues so focus on something else at equal distance that isn't dark.

Always check the shot at the pixel level soon after you took it. Rather than at the end of the day.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
Just to clarify: I had everything turned on for those 13 hours - wifi/data/bluetooth/GPS. I also made 2 phone calls and did a bit of Chromecasting using the BT Sport app for a couple of hours. Or to put it another way, I didn't take any measures at all to preserve battery life.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
I used to complain just like you're doing OP ( [MENTION=4969786]dredmentia[/MENTION] ) and fixed it all with a Zerolemon battery .

Is the phone bulky/no leather back/not easy to handle... , it sure is but if battery life is crucial then it gotta get fixed.

End my day anywhere between 7 to 13 hours of sot depending on WiFi or 4g and high CPU freqs, tried light usage and hit 3 days with 12 hours sot. Snap/insta/twit/fb/periscope/... Nothing kills this battery in a day.

When and if we get a kernel I'll move back to factory battery at least then I know I'm in control of how CPU works coz while optimizing the phone for wakelocks that's the only thing I have no control over...

As for now I'm just trying to burn thru this battery every day so I can charge it every night...

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] DLeach4512:
Hey guys and gals,

I was digging around looking for a solution to the problem:

S5 loses WiFi password, and I was disappointed that it took me 20 minutes to find it.

So, if you have the same issue (or if I do, and I don't remember how I fixed it this time!), here it is in a nutshell:

You'll need to have root access, and a file explorer that can use root access (I used ES file explorer).

Navigate to "device>system>build.prop"

Open the file in your choice of editor, and find the line, "ro.securestorage.support".

It should say =true right now. Change that to =false, exit and save the file.

Reboot the device.

You'll have to enter the WiFi password once more.

Reboot again to verify function, enjoy WiFi auto-connecting.

I've been running Android M preview (3?) for a while on my Nexus 6.

2 months ago my USB-connector of the phone broke and only because I also have a wireless charger I was able to continue using my phone.

I therefore also never upgraded to the final version of Android-M, too afraid to get into trouble and unable to connect it to the computer.

Just now I tried a headphone and noticed that viper4android wasn't working, which it did a while ago.

I still had the file viper_aio_fixes.zip in my download folder I used to get it going a long time ago.

I never considered this zip to be less innocent as it turned out to be.

http://xdaforums.com/nexu...droid-t2952137

I booted into recovery, flashed that zip and did a reboot.

Now it is stuck at the black screen with only the text "Google" and a padlock

I am able to boot into fastboot where I can go in the several modes including recovery mode (Team Win Recovery Project v2.8.5.0).

I have no idea how to fix this, especially because I don't have any possibility to connect it to my computer using an USB

The device does still have warranty, but I can't miss my phone.

If anyone has some tips to get it going, please help....

The spare phone (an LG G2) I kept for such an occasion also let me down. It all of a sudden has a touch screen that is slowly responsive (3 seconds each touch).

I currently don't have it with me anyhow.

You could buy a replacement USB module on Ebay or something and swap it in.

EDIT: Ouch, just looked and the N6 doesnt use a USB module that gets screwed onto the mainboard like normal phones.

Id say your 2 options are to boot into recovery and restore a Nandroid or flash a ROM file you have saved on the phone, or try seeing if you can get the phone to boot by just wiping dalvik and cache. If you don't have a backup then that is just some really dumb flashing. In that case you are just going to have to get it repaired somewhere or buy a new phone.
