This charger is actually awesome. been using it for a year with my nexus 6p and now my pixel, it will only do 15w
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
Yeah it's still on sale too!
[Google Pixel Accessories] kazemitsui:
So this is legit safe? because I see all over the place everyone is 'freaking out' about the usb cables I swear when it was just micro usb cables no one cared, but now with this USB C everyone cares all of a sudden?
[Google Pixel Accessories] nednednerb:
I wouldn't say everyone. I for instance did not freak out.
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
It's only 5v 3A 15w max unless it's defective, it doesnt go any higher than the max a pixel can handle. Like the 9v/3A 12v 15v 20v...

Edit; its a clone of the nekteck on the spreadsheet, YMMV

[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
Its because there were several reports with the nexus 6p usb c ports burning up and lots of micro usb to usb c adapters melting, but mostly when the cable was wiggled or phone fell while plugged in.

I think Benson Leung's Pixel fried testing correct if im wrong?

Yeap, bad cable fried it;

[Google Pixel Accessories] kazemitsui:
So this cable is good for the pixel no probs?
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
I tested with my Pixel XL and it handles 1400-1450mA in port (A) using stock a-c cable and 1450-1530mA in port (c) cabled usb-c.
[Google Pixel Accessories] kazemitsui:
honestly I have no idea what that means, but I will assume its good to go for a Pixel user like me?
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
It worked, a little slower than the Google Pixel stock wall charger, and not quite what I would call FAST charging, but it didn't blow up my Pixel yet..
[Google Pixel Accessories] kazemitsui:
what do you think of this one?

http://www.banggood.com/BlitzWolf-Q...er-p-1049810.html?rmmds=detail-top-unbeatable

Its literally the same thing but QC3?
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
QC over usb c is bad and that's not $5

Pixel isn't QC.
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
UPDATE 11/12/2016; This morning I plugged in at 66% on phone, ampere showed the charger feeding 2400mA. This is as fast as my zerolemon QC wall charger on my lg g4.
[Google Pixel Accessories] kazemitsui:
alright I ordered one haha same one as you thanks for testing! lol

Personally tested this charger does not back charge my car when off like some of the tested/ recommended car chargers have been found to do, including Belkin, tronsmart and visnic.
[Google Pixel Accessories] larsdennert:
I bought one of these Aukey units but haven't tried with Ampere. <Tested: it delivers 2000ma from both ports to the pixel. Stock wall charger delivers 3000ma.> I've used it with the Pixel, Nexus 5X, LG G4 and Droid Maxx. All of them charge fast. Even the MAXX which isn't a Quickcharge phone charges quite quickly. It has a Fast charge port and a Quickcharge 3.0 port that is backward compatible. All these phones have roughly 3Ah batteries. The Pixel and 5X are type C. The G4 has Quickcharge 2.0 hardware but I don't know if the firmware was ever updated to accept more than Quickcharge 1.0.

https://www.amazon.com/Aukey-CC-T7-...838012&sr=8-2&keywords=aukey+quick+charge+3.0

Anyway, seems quality and beats all the typical 250ma car chargers that can't even keep up with google maps usage.

I wish I had any idea how to determine if a charger was "safe" without just looking at a list of approved chargers
[Google Pixel Accessories] Bruce lee roy:
I Agree. This sounds sketchy - how could such a major defect go undetected and why would Google not announce that their phones are potential fire hazards. Better yet, if this has been an ongoing issue since 6p, why wouldn't they take steps to correct it like discontinuing the use of a component that's clearly not stable enough to be sold to valued customers? ... And what about other phones (ie s7, HTC 10, etc)? Or is this issue isolated to Google phones?
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
[MENTION=3201983]Bruce lee roy[/MENTION] please do not spread your baseless rumor here, your comment is so "fake news"... Please inform yourself.

Where do you get that Google would be aware of "their" phone being a potential fire hazard, when it's not their phone with the problem, but faulty chargers? These BAD Chargers and cables, damage the PIXEL and any other device they are plugged into..

This is a problem with ALL devices that use usb type-c for charging because "CHARGING" manufacturers are not following specifications.

Refer to this http://www.mpoweruk.com/protection.htm and here's more http://www.usb.org/developers/compliance/

This has always been an issue/problem since the beginning of batteries and chargers of all types..

Where manufacturers cut cost on their chargers and cables of ALL types, they DO NOT include protection for;

Excessive current during charging or discharging

Short circuit

Over voltage - Overcharging

Under voltage - Exceeding preset depth of discharge (DOD) limits

High ambient temperature

Overheating - Exceeding the cell temperature limit

Pressure build up inside the cell

System isolation in case of an accident

don't take into consideration Abuse, bad quality control and bad assembly, soldering, etc.. They just want to make a quick buck and don't care, Google, Apple, Microsoft, no one can control them because they flood the market and people will buy them..

All that "protection" costs money...

That said, this charger has been tested and deemed good charger by the tester Nathan K. referred me to, but Nathan K. doesn't agree. I use it personally with my PIXEL XL without problems.

EDIT: here is the detailed testing review information http://lygte-info.dk/review/USBpower Blitzwold USC-C car charger BW-C3 UK.html

[Google Pixel Accessories] aholeinthewor1d:
Thanks for the links. I guess what I am curious about is what about phones that use micro USB? Ive used tons of cheap cables and $5 car chargers since smartphones came out and never had an issue. While I'll agree it's a small price to pay to be safe for a $600+ phone.. at the same time I have a feeling since USB C is still somewhat new that it's just being blown out or proportion that's all. I'm sure there are countless threads and articles all over the internet from back when micro USB came out

---------- Post added at 04:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 AM ----------

I M also curious about using old micro USB cables to charge the pixel.. using a USB-C to Micro USB adapter. I've seen so much h conflicting info. Some people says it's fine.. some people say it's the worst thing and blah blah.

I purchased these from Amazon but haven't used them yet..

https://www.lostmy.name/en-US
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
I suggest you search for Benson Leung's reviews on Amazon, you can check his "wish lists" there he has cables he has reviewed and suggests. (edit here is al link to BL's lists https://www.amazon.com/gp/gift-cent..._wof_friend_occ_list?ie=UTF8&id=3G0I49GY9C7T7)

For micro USB there is the biggest problem that may end up destroying your device if you do not use the proper adapter or cable. Since they definitely ARE NOT "upwards" compatible, because they were made/designed before usb type-c was defined. So you need to make sure you are 100% positive that the cable or adapter has a 56k ohm pull-up resistor. Just because they CLAIM it does not mean they really included it.

You can also refer to the spread sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vnpEXfo2HCGADdd9G2x9dMDWqENiY2kgBJUu29f_TX8/pubhtml
[Google Pixel Accessories] aholeinthewor1d:
Sorry idk why my phone keeps pasting the second to last thing in the clipboard. 3rd time it happened today. These are the adapters I bought..

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/cr/B01...mb_hist_5?filterByStar=five_star&pageNumber=1

I was told by a lot of people that the micro USB cables I.use.make no difference at all and that it all depends on if the adapter is correct
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
if you have used your micro usb cable before on a previous device, it should be fine, just make sure you get an approved/tested adapter or replace the cable with an approved one if you can, adapters and cables cost about the same~
[Google Pixel Accessories] Bruce lee roy:
Thanks for the information. I meant no offense by my skepticism but it appears to be some deficiencies in the type and amount of information available on this topic. For example, is the problem isolated to just the cable construction or is it both the cable and the charger? where is the data on how frequently people have issues resulting from this issue? have there been any steps by the industry to correct the problem, if so, specifically when and which devices/ manufacturers comply? What are the definitive signs that you have faulty equipment...?

All this is not to say that there is not an issue with adoption and regulation within the industry. My point is: considering the amount of "fake news," its difficult not to be skeptical when the accusations are based on what appears to be experience of a few. Especially since the adoption of USB c is not exactly cutting edge technology- there have been plenty of opportunities for manufacturers and regulators to and resolve common inconsistencies and to implement failsafes such as the smart management system discussion in on the the resources you provided.
[Google Pixel Accessories] clockcycle:
Both Cable and Charger construction/design, quality control, and cutting corners. There hasn't been any collection of frequency of people reporting failures. Industry has set the standards and revised them as needed, but manufacturers do as they please, cut and paste descriptions and specifications, use logos and such to lure the buyer. Even when they are caught and attention if brought to them, they still cut corners i.e. Tronsmart CCTA car charger it's on version 3 and that one still has a problem being detected as a device when under charged and causes the pixel to discharge while connected to it. It's up to the buyer to do their homework.

Definitive signs of faulty equiptment; over charge, under charge, overload a circuit, blow fuses, no fuses, cables soldered in correctly, kills your device silently (it just stops working without any warnings as to why), over heat the phone / cable / charger / wires in your house, other than obviously failures such as fire..

I would suggest if you have time to read some posts on google+ by Benson Leung and Nathan K. for more details on specifics.

What I mean by "FAKE NEWS" is your comment blaming Google for not warning people they have a faulty device that catches fire.. That is blatantly false and asked you where you came up with that? Rumors and comments like that are causes of this "fake news" from spreading, because the next reader trusts that you know what you are talking about and aren't just inventing some bs outta thin air. Others will site your comment as their source that has no other substance..

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warpedellipsis:
It was announced that Chrome OS is being killed and rolled into android, to be called Andromeda. I was thinking about getting the PixelC to replace my old tablet purely because it would keep getting updates long after thirdparty tablets are abandoned. But that won't matter if current android tablets will soon be killed off too, in favor of Andromeda. Google won't say how long Cros will still be supported, so I'm kind of skpetical of trusting that they'll still support android/its devices, too. Does anyone know if PixelC will get andromeda? Will it keep getting android-only updates, and for how long? Should I wait until the next actually-andromeda tablet comes out? But then what if Andormeda is a false start like Cros was? Argh.

It is all speculation at this point and should be thought of as such.

A: After digging into the SuperSu script I found the culprit. The script that was being called during the "ramdisk patch" part wasn't working. I deleted it, which got readded during a new install of the SuperSu and it worked.

Q:I'm trying to install systemless supersu and it's failing after "Calling user ramdisk patch script". I suspect I might need to reinstall the boot.img as I uninstalled magisk and I think it tweaked it. Is the stock one available somewhere?

Thanks

Twelve Absent Men is a satirical legal adventure game with comedic characters, an enthralling storyline and a polished, modern cartoon look. Solve puzzles, confound witnesses and outwit the state prosecutor in this race to that crucial verdict: not-guilty!

Inspired by the legal drama genre, the game combines elements of satire and humour with the seriousness of a court of law. It is self-aware in following the “mythic” traits of legal dramas: that law is comedic, justice is swift, the right side always wins and judges have an (almost) infinite amount of patience.

Push the judge too hard, however, and you’ll lose the game entirely, and be held in contempt of court!

We've just released on Android! :D

You know the gap on the sides of notification panel/drop down menu do you want to remove it so yes just install the attached apk and its done you can uninstall it any time without problems add ''settings application''

i tested on my own GALAXY S5 (SM-G900F).

Its not a modded notification panel or something like that its just an add to the original notification panel you will keep every thing stock with a apk.

I dont know if its working on other variant of the GALAXY S5

I tried to upgrade to from Magisk V6 to V8 it messed up my phone so I restored a backup and all was fine, so I tried installing V8 a different way still failed, so restored backup again but this time I am getting errors that the system cant be mounted. I have tried repairing the system in advanced whipe but that failed so I chose change file system option and changed it to ext4 which it already was then restored backup and it lets me mount the system. But as soon as i restart my phone it just sits on the first Samgung logo screen, and does nothing and when i boot back into TWRP it is back to not mounting system.

What can I do to fix this? I need it done bercause I need my phone for work in the morning.

Sometimes it is the GPS application that doesn't know how to use the external GPS management program.

Go to Settings -> Connections -> External GPS, set the two ports to "none" and uncheck the option to manage the ports automatically. Reset the device and try to choose the same port you have chosen at pairing.

When I try to cast movies on by big screen from netflix it just plays the audio but video just plays on the ZmaxPro. Yet I can watch youtube videos with casting no problem. When I use hotspot it disconnects repeatedly and have to constantly restart the device. I contacted ZTE and MetroPCS they could not offer any help at all. Netflix said the reason why is that the video speed they use does not match the device. I was expecting better performance since it is newer & specs are supposed to be better than a Note 2. BTW my wife still has a Note 2 & she still has no issues.

What I guess I'm looking at is a custom ROM but what I've seen so far are the flashy bells & whistles to choose from. Just need something simple with steps to take so that I can get rid of the junk I never use & overclock it so the frikin phone works right. Thanks in advance for the help!
