The device setup didn't copy over private app data I was sad to find out. It just told the pixel to download the same apps from the app store.

Check out helium backup. Just used that for my fiancees phone and it worked well for us.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Jdban:
Device setup just tells the phone to download all your apps from the play store. Some of them support some backup features via that method, but not very many. Doing that, I'm back to square one with apps like Tasker, my RSS reader, or some games' progress. A full backup via titanium + root would restore all that data.

If you look at the screenshot in my original post, Helium can't backup every app because some don't allow it. With root + titanium backup, all apps are able to be backed up. With Helium, something like 1/3 of my apps can't be backed up.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] M9x3mos:
In this case there were only 3 that couldn't be backed up with helium. These were no big deal because they can just be resigned into again and be fine and didn't rely only on local data like all the other applications I needed to move for her. And the phone can't be rooted yet that I'm aware of.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Jdban:
In my case it is 47 that can't be backed up :/

Yeah, no root yet. Root would solve my issue.

I was a Note 7 refugee so I have the stock Samsung fast AC charger here. Model EP-TA20JWE rated at 9v @ 1.67A and 5v @ 2A. It's in my kitchen.

I have the original AC charger that came with the Pixel XL. Model TC G1000-US rated at 9v @ 2.0A and 5v @ 0.5A I have only used once to get this information.

I also have a mobile charger in my car. It is labeled as Qualcomm QC 3.0 certified which is why I bought it as the Note 7 was a QC 3.0 device. It is a Choetech Model C0051 rated at 9.1v~12v @ 1.5A Max, 5.6v~9v @ 2A Max, and 3.6v~5.5v @ 2.4A Max (the iFixit teardown has revealed a Qualcomm QC 3.0 IC in the Pixel)

Additionally I have a charger by the bed which is from my Nexus 6, Motorola "Turbo Charger" Model SSW-2680US rated at 5v @ 1.6A, 9v @ 1.6A, and 12v @ 1.2A.

All of the chargers are using their original CABLE (USBA to USBC except in the case of the Pixel which is USBC to USBC) included EXCEPT the Motorola Turbo Charger, which is using a 6 foot long braided USBA to Micro USB cable with the Micro USB to USBC adapter that came with the Note 7.

What I found so far was all three work well and all three are recognized by the phone as a rapid charger.

I also found that at 60% charge and plugging in each one long enough for the lock screen to give me the "rapid charging XX minutes until full" message, the Samsung EP-TA20JWE fast charger charges it faster than the Google TC G1000US or the Choetech C0051. The Google and Choetech appear to charge at the same rate based on time until full. The Motorola Turbo Charger charges at an extremely fast rate, like it took it from 58% to 77% in maybe 5-10 minutes and was saying 15 minutes to full at 77%.

My battery life is phenomenal for me at 5-6 hours SOT, I have no issues with any of these chargers, they all see charging time every day. Turbo charger overnight, Samsung Note 7 charger when in the kitchen where I am a lot, mobile charger when driving to work or classes... (except the actual Pixel charger which I haven't found a use for yet but will probably go to work with me.

*Based on my findings I am going to put the Samsung Note 7 charger in the kitchen and the slowest Pixel charger in the bedroom and take the fastest Turbo charger to work.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] neyenlives:
I know my test method isn't to some people's satisfaction but the time to full calculation is based on how much the phone is charged now (which I kept within +/- 2% for each check) and how much current the device wants to draw from what's available. What's interesting is the device draws power much quicker than the Pixel charger supplies it when it is plugged into more capable chargers.

I have been having varying experiences.

My Anker QC 3.0 type C wall charger seems to charge rapidly, although at the 5V/3A only, with a 6.6ft USB 2.0 i-orange cable. Using a 3.3ft USB 3.0 cable, it shows charging rapidly when I first plug it in, but a few minutes later only shows charging.. but seems to be charging rapidly? My Tronsmart type C w/ QC 3.0 car charger, using an Anker Powerline+ type C cable, shows charging rapidly, but said it had 1+ hour until full when at 70%... Ampere only showed 1.6A being sent to the phone too. I tried an iVoler charger with type C and QC 3.0 and got up to 2050mAh, but it was likely only 5V (which I would expect) but still didn't seem to be charging all that fast.

I think this whole USB-PD thing is going to really be dependent on proper chargers and cables. All of these chargers/cables worked perfect on my Nexus 6P - doesn't seem to be the case on the Pixel.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] testinguser:
Thanks for the experience folks. I had purchased a qc 3.0 tronsmart on sale at amazon which I was going to return. I got usb c cables with pd from monoprice. I suppose even if it doesn't fast charge at 18w (9v X 2a), I'd be ok with 15 w charging if I don't have to go out and buy a new car charger.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Reechings:
I mean faster is nice but if it still charges at a good rate, the lower current might help the battery last longer too right?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Nitemare3219:
I have bad news for you. I have a Tronsmart QC 3.0 type C charger too - one from a year ago though, don't know if the design has changed - and it is NOT rapid charging my device. It worked perfect on my Nexus 6P. It will start out by saying "charging rapidly" on the Pixel XL, but after several minutes, goes down to "charging" and the charge time is 2+ hours, Ampere shows really low current, etc. It COULD be the Anker Powerline+ type C cable I am using... but I highly doubt it. I think the fact that the type C port has QC 3.0 is not playing nice with the USB-PD chip, and causing it to drop support for 5V/3A all together. I will test this more tonight with the stock cable and see if it works any better.

Perhaps not the right thread but I have just been sent these USB-C cables to review for free.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01EEACOVO/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Amazon says they are rated to 2.4A but will they damage by Pixel XL? I'm not expecting them to charge 'rapidly' but would be handy to be able to use them with an older 2A charger.

Do you think they are safe?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] CZ Eddie:
Why do so many people try to get a charger with as high a wattage rating as possible but ignore the fact that USB-C is limited to 3A and all you need to do is find a charger capable of delivering 3A.

What does wattage have to do with things?

Not trying to be a jerk, I'm just assuming I must be missing something here. :confused:
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Nitemare3219:
Because more watts = more power. USB-C may be limited to 3A, but it is not limited to 5V. Higher volts at the same amperage = more wattage = more power. If you want the fastest charging possible, you need a 9V/2A+ USB-PD charger.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] CZ Eddie:
I didn't realize it was OK to go with higher than 5v now.

Do you know if it's okay to hard wire directly into a 12V system for charging? Like in the car? I'm guessing "no it's not okay" but I'm still learning about USB-C.

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------

tap = hard wire/splice into. As in, no adapter. Just a USB-C at one end and then snip the connector off the other end and use the two power wires and two ground wires to splice directly into say, the back of a cigarette charger's 12V wiring.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Nitemare3219:
There is no way that would work, nor would it be safe. There HAS to be an adapter to safely charge the phone by regulating voltage and current, as well as shutting off the charge once it hits 100%.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] CZ Eddie:
It's my understanding that some/all of the regulating is done on-board some phones.

I know I never had any issues with my 3A 12v to 5v converter hard wired to S4 and Note 3 phones for charging in either my car or Motorcycle.

At least, I didn't notice any issues.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Nitemare3219:
Well you're a brave soul. I wouldn't ever think to try something like that. Especially not with USB-C & Power Delivery now. The phone is responsible for some of the charging regulation, but the charger itself is just as important.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] seezar:
Because with USB PD the Pixel can charge at 18W by using 2A by 9V. So just looking for a 3A charger doesn't give you the fastest possible charging for the Pixel. Using a standard 3A charger will charge it at 3A by 5V for 15W. You multiply the voltage and amperage to determine wattage.

Anyone try the other Motorola turbo chargers 15, 25, 30? Id be curious to know if they work any better. They say the phone must support "turbo"..

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

No definitely not. Car Battery supplies too much wattage/amerpage and its missing the PD ic and other protections in most good charger (over volt, under volt, circuit protection, trickle, power cut off, ect). Thats why all this talk about chargers and cables that do not meet requirements burning equipment/phones up.

It will never know when to stop charging or if over charging and catch fire...

Thats why its not advisable to buy cheap no name unbranded batteries, cables and chargers.

Usb c isnt just a connector/ plug theres an ic (computer chip) in control as well on both sides.

The chip in your battery talks w the one in the phone that talks w the one in the charger..

I have an older Choetech that has 2 quick charge 2 ports and 4 smart ports. The smart ports are 5v 2.4a the quick charge ports are 5/9/12 v , 15w. I should be able to use this safely to charge my pixel with an appropriate cable? My phone says charging rapidly in the smart ports.

For USB-PD charging to work, not only do you need a USB-PD charger which offers the right Volts and Amps, but a USB C PD cable as well as they have chips in the connectors themselves, testing a PD charger with the cable supplied with the pixel will get you 5V/3A max if you are lucky.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] SteveyJack:
A quick look on Amazon doesn't show on cables with that description. Is that correct?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] clockcycle:
Please link me a usb c PD cable.. none listed on Benson Leung or Nathan k spreadsheet even though they recommend a lot of usb c cables. Not even the USB-if cables or any I've seen claim to be a usb c PD cable... Only usb c PD chargers... Charger PD chip talks to phone PD chip...

That LG charger is junk by the way.

Point is, you need a charger that is USB Power Delivery compatible. None of the ones you're using are. That is the only way to hit 9V/2A, the phone's max charging capability.

[Google Pixel XL Accessories] moogaloo:
You are right the spreadsheet does not explicitly say that, maybe it should really, it is called eMarking and is neccessary for Power Delivery to work. Any cables rated at 5A will be. If you are just using for charging then the 2mtr Apple USB-C charging cable is PD compatible (Rectangular Box) 19USD direct from apple. Nathan K discusses it here https://plus.google.com/102612254593917101378/posts/dcLuKzGeeuH?sfc=true
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] clockcycle:
Please do not spread misinformation, although this is a good read, there is no such thing as a power delivery cable.

What you linked is explaining what apple is doing to fix an issue silently about their proprietary cables. Even tho the cable mentioned might be good and capable of handling 5A, it is not required for the Pixel.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] moogaloo:
Sorry (hangs head in shame). I checked with Nathan K about eMarking and it seems emarking is not needed for Power Delivery to work below 3amps and the Pixel XL's 18W is 9V 2A. This is his response

I've ordered a USB current meter now as well. Will be glad to join you in hopefully accurately testing things I have.

USB sleeves? I'm a little confused. Can't you just use the included USB A to C adapter? At any rate, I feel like going USB C (charger) to USB A (adapter + current meter) to USB C (A to C cable or A to C adapter + C to C cable) is going to seriously mess things up... could be wrong though!

---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

Ampere has never shown me the right voltage but I use my usb meters to confirm
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] docluv01:
Ok, so I'm not goign crazy

SO is it safe to assume, that if the phone shows "rapid charging", that it has switched to 9V and the current reading should be assumed at 9V?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] moogaloo:
No you can get the "rapid charging" method using a non PD charger and the max Voltage for that is 5V. So there is obviously a wattage level where the Pixel XL says "Rapid Charging" and it must be on or below 15watts
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] docluv01:
Is there a way to determine if the phone has switched to 9V on stock charger? I don't think Ampere does this right
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] moogaloo:
Something like this? http://plugable.com/products/usbc-tkey/ but not for the average consumer!

But I believe the stock charger is not a PD charger so won't do 9V only 5V/3A. best you can do realistically is buy good equipment that should give you the result you want.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Nitemare3219:
The stock charger is absolutely USB PD, and absolutely does 9V/2A. It says so right on the adapter (fine print), and I have verified it because it pulls 18+W from the wall.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] docluv01:
would you mind if I ask how you tested? (I would like to do the same with other chargers)

TIA!
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] clockcycle:
No, rapid charge is anything over 500mA. All my standard 5v 2.4A chargers make the phone say charging rapidly

[Google Pixel XL Accessories] James4.0:
I think you are confusion the max charge rate of the Pixel and Pixel XL. The Pixel will only do 15w while the xl will do 18w.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] clockcycle:
Both pixel and xl do 18w. The Pixel is set to prefer 15w unless it needs to bump up to 18w.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Smallsmx3:
Pretty sure Google stated that the regular pixel only does 15w... They even changed it in their website
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] clockcycle:
Nope, not true, they changed it from 18w to 15-18w. After it was found out that the Pixel prefers 15w and only switches to 18w if necessary. Speculation was because of thermals..
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Nitemare3219:
According to Nathan's testing, it will NOT charge at 18W... in the vast majority of cases. The only time it will charge at 18W is if the charger it outside of spec, and forces the Pixel to choose 9V/2A. The Pixel will never use 9V/2A given the choice.

Hi guys!

So in the past, I always had my Xperia SP with rooted, UBL and with a custom rom, mostly CM.

I miss some features like ad block that can only be obtained by rooting your device. Having a system backup with TWRP is also pretty nice.

However, I just have these security fears with unlocking and rooting. The phone stays encrypted, but is it actually less safe with an unlocked bootloader? Or do you you all recommend to unlock it?
