I have one modern car charger that I was using with my Nexus 6. I tested it with the Pixel XL (results pasted below). I don't test chargers and cables like Nathan and Benson (I try confirm charging rate when I buy one for personal use or dig in further when I have a problem like with the Belkin). It seems like 5V@2A (10W) is supported by quite a few of the car USB-A chargers these days. I can say that 10W was plenty of power for a recent car trip where I was running GPS, screen on, and streaming a podcast over LTE. 10W charged up my phone and kept it at 100%. I wouldn't go out of my way to buy that Tronsmart that I tested below, it is just the one that I already had and measured voltage and current on.

Tronsmart car charger TS-CC2PC

Quickcharge 2.0 port: 5.15V @1.94A = 9.9W

Standard port: 4.99V @1.94A (9.7W)
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] tmuka:
Didn't the PD standard already address that by requiring the wattage? Eg 27W = 9V * 3A

I'd think any compliant device would show all supported modes in the specs.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] James4.0:
The issue is with multi port chargers like the 5 port Anker listed above. The advertisement lists 60w but that is 60w total output and not per port. So in your example, people could think it supplies 20v 3a per port = 60w.

The other issue I have is when the combined Wattage is lower than the normal PD standards. Example the Google 2 port charger is 22.5w instead of 30w from 2- 15w ports. This adds even more general public confusion since now they think they can get 22.5w out of a single port.

As i assume currently there is no two port usb-c pd wall charger and car charger?

Are there any USB PD power banks?

[Google Pixel XL Accessories] James4.0:
There is a 2 port USB-C wall charger on the google store but it maxes out at 15w (5v-3A) on a single port BUT 22.5w combined between the 2 ports.

https://store.google.com/product/usb_c_dual_port_charger
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] JaCh0o:
I'm sorry but I can't check Google store site because it's unavailable in Poland. Can you show me in any other way ? Or even aliexpress or eBay?

So if it maxes on 15w not 27w therefore it won't fast charge pixel/Nexus?

I probably found it on eBay for 80$ ?! Is there any other 20-39$ opportunity?

[Google Pixel XL Accessories] James4.0:
It looks like is it a google branded charger. If that helps you find it.

The max charging for the Pixel XL is 18w (9v - 2 A). So a 15w (5v - 3a) is just 3w short of the max charging and conditions have to be just right for the phone to use the full 18w, it normally would use the 15w charging level anyways.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] JaCh0o:
Any cheaper solution?? Or only Google official Charger for mln$?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] James4.0:
Not that I have found.

Currently, I am using the Anker PowerPort+ 5 USB-C with USB Power Delivery with 4 USB-A port. If i remember the packaging it will do USB-C PD with 5V-3A, 9V-3A, 15V-2A, and 20V-1.5A. USB-A with 5V-2.4A.

How often do you think you would need 2 ports of USB-C PD? If you are charging 2 cellphones, you should be fine with a USB-C on 1 phone and USB-A to C cable on the other. Now, if you need USB-C PD for laptops, this wouldn't be the charger for you.

Also, there is a PowerPort 5 USB-C and a PowerPort 5+ USB-C with USB Power Delivery. The PowerPort 5 USB-C maxes out at 5v-3A.

this one work with pixel xl?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] bsweetness:
Technically it will work to charge, but it says right in the description that it doesn't support PD (which is the topic of this thread):

"Please Note,This charger doesn't support USB PD, So You will just get standard 5V/3A when you use our charger in the following devices"​

While the Pixel XL isn't listed with those devices, it definitely applies to it. Also, Leung Benson with Google - the foremost authority on USB C cables and charges - doesn't give any Tronsmart chargers good marks. In fact, a previous version of the charger you linked to received the worst possible score from him. Use at your own risk.

hmmm..anyone tried out power bank from huawei, APO9Q?

http://m.ebay.com/itm/112401621823?_mwBanner=1

it looks nice though, not sure will it quick charge for pixel..
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] bsweetness:
According to the listing and the printing on the device itself, the USB-C port is only for charging the power pack. It uses the USB-A port for charging devices.

Even if you can use the USB-C port to charge devices, Huawei uses their own fast charging standard based on Qualcomm's Quick Charge. A quick search online shows this unit is based off Quick Charge 2.0. It doesn't support power delivery for the Pixel.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] nsg86:
thanks man, any recommendation for power bank suitable for xl?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] czechpunk:
This is what I use, you can use the USB-C port either to charge the battery or your phone.

My Pixel XL recognizes it as "charging rapidly"

USB-C PD chargers for Google Pixel XL

I had been looking for the best USB-C supported charger for my Pixel XL. Just got one a few days back and it works great.

[Google Pixel XL Accessories] override182:
How was it? It it charge under rapid charge?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] ylapas:
Tried Ugreen one, but after some testing and a lot of reading about dangerous USB PD third party chargers bought additional genuine Google charger so not taking a risk to burn my MB. At least I hope so. No unknown PD chargers in use.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] espionage724:
A Nintendo Switch charger (HAC-002 USZ) is 5V/1.5A (7.5W) and 15V/2.6A (39W). On a Pixel XL with LOS 15.1, it worked fine and did rapid charging (tried it personally a day ago).

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawstorant:
So, Nexus 6 doesn't have Vulkan right? That's not fair by google because Adreno 420 is supposedly supported by Qualcomm on this.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonikJDK:
It will. We are waiting on a driver from Qualcomm. They say on their website it is comming.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
Maybe Android 7.1 will have it. Fingers crossed!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
The clarification is this; Vulkan is an API. That means APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE. I.e., it defines the language used by APPLICATIONS to talk to the DRIVER.

Until there are actually APPLICATIONS that YOU require, that themselves *REQUIRE* Vulkan, then it doesn't matter if your driver implements that API.

Translation: Who cares? It won't do you any good. This is a long term far far off kind of preparing for the future API.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawstorant:
Yeah, I know all that. It's just that Vainglory is rushing with Vulkan support and Vulkan might prolong N6 gaming lifespan. I'm just interested if it would be at all possible to add Vulkan drivers even if Google refuses to do so.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Unless Qualcomm releases binaries for the N6, there will be no Vulkan. Dropping in binaries from a device with Vulkan won't help, at least from what little I've read on the topic.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiristiba:
That needs to be tried out. I flashed marshmallow graphics drivers intended for nexus on my Samsung tablet and zuk phone without problems.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santi1993:
Any update on vulkan?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
The Nexus 6 will not get it due to the chip not supporting it. This info has been around for a while. Too be honest it really wont even be worth having for a few years yet.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clonetrooper67:
But they said they were going to support it? https://www.xda-developers.com/vulkan-api-means-more-control-but-not-outright-replacement-of-opengl/

Sorry if i'm being a little stupid here, but the nexus 6 has the 805 and the 805 is said to be supported since it has a 4xx GPU right?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
What were you going to do if it was available? As stated above, Vulkan isn't really widely used yet so having it enabled wouldn't really make any difference.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The Nexus 6 is capable of supporting Vulkan, but Qualcomm has to provide the APIs and apparently have no desire to do so.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Here is an article from a google engineer

https://www.androidheadlines.com/2016/07/google-engineer-says-no-vulkan-support-for-the-nexus-9.html

" Aside from the Nexus 9, the Nexus 6 is also left out of the list of supported devices."
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
What an engineer says is beside the point here. The fact of the matter is Qualcomm themselves noted the 805 as being compatible. Therefore it is up to Qualcomm to provide or not provide the support, NOT Google. Qualcomm chose not to, and I really don't have a problem with that. It's not a huge deal since there really isn't anything requiring Vulkan in the first place.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
It's not just one side. It has to be both. Qualcomm could support it but Google decides not to. Or the reverse. Google has the final say
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Says who? If Qualcomm desired they could release Vulkan for the 805 and there isn't a thing Google could do about it. This is solely Qualcomm not wishing to provide further support for the 805, which is totally understandable given they have switched over to 64-bit processors. At the end of the day, all that really matters is the N6 isn't getting Vulkan, and by the time games become available which require Vulkan, the N6 will be sitting in some forgotten corner of a dresser drawer or storage box. Thus, who makes the decision isn't nearly as important as the decision itself.

Good evening everyone.

As title says.... Is possible to add compatitbility for xbox controller on Miui 8 MM?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] insaned:
I only owned 1 nexus before due to the simple reason they were not playing on the stronger league of hardware, despite the fact being updated often it was still not enough to convince me to go back to mid-range cell phones... I guess not time has come to say goodbye to samsung, their crappy bloatware and let go the edge (that in reality has few use from me, it's there...so I can swipe it...once a week for the news that I recive a notification anyway :rolleyes:)

So most certainly gonna move to the new google phones and leave samsung to eat their own filth regarding their policies and bloatware after a few generations that I had... s3, s4, s6 and s7. Time to a new game...

Anyone else planning to move?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] vovuska:
I agree on most of the above points for reasons to move away from Sammy to Google's new phones if they deliver.

I am however waiting for my S7E to be delivered... I use the Note 3, which is still amazing to this day thanks to the xda and other dev communities. I've tried moving away to LG V10, which had awesome camera, apart from which my Note 3 beat it in every other way (performance and battery life being the major ones).

Thrilled to get my hands on the S7E and flash away....... Let's see how long it lasts (hoping the screen is not that fragile).

But ultimately Google's Pixel phone should be a killer, I am especially excited to check the camera (it appears to be the only real reason to upgrade the phone for me currently) so I will most likely switch to Google camp

Otherwise OnePlus3 is a decent phone for half the price...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Ati75:
The Pixel lineup is fine imho, but not at that price range. Too expensive! Should be way cheaper to even be an alternative. I would miss the expandable storage and the ip certification as well. In hindsight not so fine i guess after all...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrous²:
That's the general consensus I've been reading since yesterday. Who in their right mind would pay 760€ - 1000€ for either of the Pixel phones with their only outstanding feature being Daydream? Yeah, there are timely updates and a complete "Google experience" but the average consumer doesn't care about these things. Google doesn't hit it. A. In that price range, you have devices that can do way more, and are better equipped, e.g. water resistance, no headphone jack, S-Pen etc. Something the Pixel phones don't offer and B. the things the Pixel phones offer you can easily have on a OnePlus 3 or many other 300€ - 400€ devices.

Besides, these things being non-Nexus devices, I can imagine Google implementing a feature similar to an irreversible flash counter like the KNOX FLAG.

But fear not! The Nexus line is not dead. The Pixel phones are just a distraction. At least, according to Stephen Hall from 9to5 Google.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] WerkFlowJones:

Mmmmmm the only phone that can make me think of replacing my s7e with is Note 7. Been using note 4 before and I miss it...

Google phone is too expensive for having nothing really better but the cam... only few apps that I wont use like the new google now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] westernmg:
No way, the pixel is far to expensive.

I can't see any advantage over the S7e except the slightly faster Updates.

Over the last years Samsung has improved the Update-cycle to an really good level so i can live with it.

I wouldn't give up the excellent Battery, the waterresistance and the SD-Card for the Pixel...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] insaned:
Well, maybe I'm too long on samsung galaxys and just wanna move... I went trough all the headaches, knox ****, the harder ways to personalize the phone...

At the moment the truth is that I cannot complain about the s7 edge, however this is due to long headaches... I have 120 apps/services frozen. Most is samsung junk... google now didn't make sense to me, I was avoid some battery draining not using it,until I realized that the voice is too handy while I'm driving to put reminders, notes or ask for stuff which just made things little smoother specially when Im driving.

And I have a rooted phone, with xposed and now even the systemless is giving headaches.. so it's a choice of using flashfire or systemless and i'm simply fed up of all the around and arounds each time I wanna mod the phone. Ofc this is not a phone for the whole market... but for me just having updates a a more functional way to modify/root/xposed the phone the better.

I can be wrong... ANd I agree that samsung got way better with the battery draining and updates, but still because I rely a lot on frozen and modified stuff.

Nougat already out and we can sit and wait until january for that samsung test it, fill it up with their junk and release it to the s7. yes because now s8 is on the way so their aim is to release s8 with nougat... which is been typical from samsung lately, hold the updates and then release a new model already with the update leaving the older users waiting. still better than before though...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bvdxr:
I was going to move from my S7e to the Pixel XL but I decided to wait for the S8. One of the things that made me want a Pixel was the 128gb storage capacity. Why don't Samsung come in larger capacities? This honestly really frustrates me because even with expandable SD it's still not having the same as a huge internal storage. Why can't they copy apple and have 128gb, 256gb? I love my S7e but I'd be more loyal to my phone if it had a larger internal capacity. So far, more than happy with my rooted S7e!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] the_scotsman:
The Pixel does nothing for me AT ALL.

It's disgustingly expensive. It has no wireless charging, no removable storage, looks incredibly bland and boring, has nothing new at all. It brings nothing new to the table. I simply can't see any reason why anyone would switch. Except if they were a diehard plain vanilla stock Android fan.

And I don't care if they get updates quicker.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] robstunner:
Things I prefer with my S7E:

-Samsung Pay

-Water Resistence

-Wireless Charging

-Better form factor (try finding a 5.5" screen this size)

-Incredible battery life (exynos version)

-Great Wolfson DAC

-Best AMOLED screens on the market

And all for the $570 I paid on eBay, for a new one. I ordered a Pixel XL but after dwelling on the fact it was $823 after tax, with free shipping I couldn't do it. With all the wonderful $399 phones coming out now, there is no reason to get anything that price. And to play into the whole fool me once fool me twice thing, I wont fall for another promise from Google to get great battery life out of their phones. I regularly get 7-8HRS of SOT from charge to charge, whether thats 1 or 2 days.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Beefheart:
I could perhaps partly understand the desire to change from a Galaxy S7 Edge to a Pixel XL if I owned the Snapdragon variant of Samsung's phone. The locked bootloader cripples it. But to change to the Pixel from my Exynos version? No, I see no advantage in doing that, it's a sideways move at best, and arguably not even that given the fact you would lose the Edge feature and IP68.

I must say, I had big expectations for the Pixel, but it's surprising that Google have released their own flagship and it offer nothing over Samsung's flagship which was released over six months ago. It doesn't even look as nice.

No thanks, I'll stick with my S7 Edge.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] expiredd:
For me no point to move from S7 edge unless something bad happens to my phone. I'm really happy with the phone overall, however I'm a bit disgusted with latests update massive battery drain. I hope Nougat comes before the end of this year and see how S7 runs. If pixel would cost 200 euro less maybe I would switch because of the dev community but at this price no point. I think I'll hold this phone until next galaxy or iPhone. I don't see much improvements in new released phones, the iPhone 7 is not ahead of our S7 and I don't expect Pixel to be neither, smartphones don't evolve that much from one year to another nowadays.. So better hold on for now imo.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] maverick1103:
Totally agree with you; I used to switch phones several times a year but I really doubt I will until the S8 comes out, even then I doubt I could afford to until my upgrade is due, the S7 edge offers a lot and switching to another phone I feel would be a downgrade more so than an upgrade, as I believe there isn't anything out there that is vastly superior to it.

Just my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] kingwicked:
Why woud some one downgrade to Pixel Xl??

I have a Note3 and S7E. The Note3 right now is running on a N7 MM Port and gives me 4 hours plus screentime. My S7E gives me 6 hours SOT on Phoenix ROm V3.0

The S7E has the best camera right now. Excellent battery. Pixel is nothing but ugly. from back the design is a copy of an old 8 year old Nokia 6300 phone LOL.

Pixel is an an expensive phone. Pure Android is not that superb as being hyped.

Pixel XL can try to be born once more to even think to compete with S7E.
