Reversible Micro USB with Full Quick Charge Support? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories

Are there any Reversible Micro USB cables that are fully compatible with all aspects of Quick Charge 2.0?
This cable says - 5v 2a MAX
Our OEM Chargers offer - 9V 1.6a
Does anyone know if they make them that support 9V 1.6a
(Preferably 5ft or longer)

I wouldn't mind that cable but none of my cases would be able use them. I use an Otterbox Commuter and Defender

The cables I posted in the original post do show fast charging on my phone but I'm not 100% sure I'm getting the full potential. Im going to check out some tests with the phone off and and both the oem cable and the new reversible for 10 minutes each and see how they fare up. Do that a few times and see what the differences are if any.

Good USB cable for quick charge 2.0

Can anyone recommend a brand that makes good cables for quick charge 2.0?
Monoprice cables are really good. All have a lifetime warranty too.

I just picked up this cable and I love it. Charges just as fast as the OEM cable (if not faster) and gives me a lot more slack to move around.

I can second this. Just bought a handful of these cables in different lengths and a few Quick Charge 2.0 certified wall and car adapters from Getwow on Amazon and have had impressive results. They feel and perform as a high quality product should.

I have this cable but it hasn't worked with quick charge 2.0 for me. I think quick charge requires the data line to work so that it doesn't kill the battery on the phone (i.e. the charger and phone need to communicate). This cable does work AMAZING on regular chargers though.

How about the length of the cable, the longer the better?

longer increases resistance and lowers cable ability. Now the difference between 3-6 ft is miniscule at best, certainly not something you'll easily notice. I need to also clarify that the cable works with a quick charge 2.0 charger, it just doesn't actually quick charge, only does a standard charge speed which is why I think it needs the data line.
How do these Monoprice "standard cables" compare to the previously mentioned "premium cables"?

Their longer cables are 20 AWG. Didn't know anyone made USB cables in a gauge that big.
Here is the one rated for quick charge on Amazon:
AMAZON
Are any of these Cloth Jacketed? I have better luck with fabric.
I have a stock Samsung cable ( pretty long) from a note 4 that works great plugged into my nexus charging block. charges just as fast as normal
Probably because the note has quick charge
Can pick em up for cheap ( mine was free since I work for a carrier)

Did a test with the Monoprice cable in the link and the stock USB cable that came with the N6. I let my battery get to 5% remaining both times and checked the percentages at a few intervals. I charged the phone with the power on, and only got on the phone to check the percentage rate. I waited till the lock screen said "Charged" to get the final time. Here's the times and percentages I got.
Monoprice:
20 min - 32%
30 min - 43%
60 min - 79%
Full Charge - 90 mins
Stock Cable:
20 min - 32%
30 min - 41%
60 min - 76%
Full Charge - 105 mins
I just got those monoprice cables too. I need to wait till I'm at low bat to do a test. These cables seem promising (they are so cheap) by the previous post!
Edit update:
With the 6ft USB 2.0 A Male to Micro 5pin Male 28/24AWG Cable w/ Ferrite Core (Gold Plated)
35min 11%-54%
22min 54%-81%
18min 81%-93%
35min +- 5min 93%-100%
(wasn't watching the time very well could have been much less than 35 also)
Total 110min +- 5min
Edit update2:
Test with stock moto cable
36min 11%-57%
32min 75%-89%
89%-100% (forgot to watch but it took about another 10-39min (max because I came back 39 min later but it said 9min left before I left))
Conclusion. The monoprice cables does charge a bit faster. The times for the turbo charge (both stages) happen in the first hour and you can see there is a small improvement with the mono cable

quick charge cable

Hi there. I just got lg g5 and straight away I bought 2 USB c cables so I can use my other charger at work for instance and keep original at home. I tried new cables on original charger however they are not fast charging, only charging according to info from the phone screen. Can you guys please advice what cables i have to buy to be able to fast charge with original charger? When I search on websites for USB c cables there is no description of the at capable to charge fast. I also have aukey quick charge 2.0 charger and wonder if I can use it with lg g5 to get a fast charge. Thanks in advance

Depends on region/software version too. My extra cables worked fine for fastcharge until I updated, after that only the original cable would still do it. It's been mentioned a few times already too, looks like some of the updates block 3rd party cables from being able to use fastcharge.

Well I called LG in my country and after the second call and 4 days of waiting they told me that they're "not aware of any changes made to inhibit the use of 3rd party cables" ... they completely ignored the fact that users both here and on local Android/phone forums reported the same thing.
So yes, it is complete BS ... but since fastcharge is supposed to be detrimental to the life of the battery anyway I'm not too fussed about it any more. I got myself a small charging dock that's hooked up to the USB on my PC - while wayyyyyyy slower than even regular charge it at least gives me easy access to my phone, and if I leave it connected whenever I'm at home the battery doesn't discharge too much and I can live without fastcharge

I'm actually running CM13 now but it never occured to me to try it again with the other cable. Next charging cycle I'll give it another go
I'm not really sure which regions are affected ... a quick glance over the posts I made regarding this seems to have mostly europeans with the problem, but I can't say for sure.
Fast charging should not depend on cable, unless the cable is very poor quality with high series resistance.
I have 2 QC 2.0 chargers from Choetech and Tronsmart. I also have several usb c cables from Yozoon and Choetech. They all fast charges the phone just fine.
As for the usb-c cables buy only from name brands, and you need to confirm that they include the 56k resistor included for device protection.

I confirm that it's complete chaos in regards to chargers, cables and Fast Charging.
I bought a Tronsmart WC1T charger, it won't fast charge with the included cable, but it does that with a Vetter cable. A colleague has an Ankey charger and some other cable, my phone does not fastcharge with that combination, only with a different cable. These are both QC 3.0 chargers.
Supposedly, the cables should not matter, but it's not true.
Anyone purchased a 3 meter cable in the UK that will fast charge (tested with a meter 17-18 watt) an LG G5 (h850 or h830 etc), if so please let me know the manufacturer of the cable? a link would also be helpful.
It sounds insane but on some ocasions fast charge has only work for me by trying different sides of the usb head (as in flipping it over) with several different cables and phones.
Maybe its all a fairytail but it works :cyclops:
These cables (even the 3 meters one) fast charge the LG G5 H830 in stock and in recovery mode for Lineage os 14 (tested with original charger).
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B074MPN333/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I bought a Sony QC 3 charger and cable, didn't fast charge, it did though with my LG cable. The company sent two more cables, none of them fast charged. I then bought a 3 pack of Aukey cables (very nicely braided finish, solid connectors and 56k ohm resistor) the Sony charger, fast charges with them. And no I don't work for Aukey, just a sad man that appreciates a nice cable, lol.

SuperCharge chargers - will it work with any cable?

However, the cable is not included. Will I get super charging with any cable?

The original cable that came with the phone...Yes
High quality ones (20AWG or better)...Yes (this is what I use)
Cheap nasty ones off ebay....possibly, but doubtful. The phone may still say "Fast Charging" as the charger will identify itself to the phone as a Super Charger, but the phone won't be able to draw the same power as through a decent cable. And you risk damaging the cable and/or phone.
As in all walks of life, you get what you pay for!
Can you recommend me a cable which should work fine?

Well they certainly Super Charge my p10, both on a mains and car charger. Noticeably faster rate than when using the Fast Charger I got for my P9.

You are quite correct, the ones I linked to above are Fast Charging at max. Agreed though that this is still quick!

Thanks for finding this, I've wasted my time buying 2 different cables that don't work. The OEM cables are just too short.
Huawei Super Charge works using this cable:
https://banggood.com/Orico-AC5-5A-1...ick-Charge-and-Sync-Data-Cable-p-1162313.html
It must be 5A approved.
Anyone knows why the Huawei 5A SuperCharge won't work with an LG G6? I mean I plugged it in, the phone says it's fast charging, but if I start using it while charging the battery level goes down.

you need to get a 5A cable to have supercharge, anything below that will be fast charge or charging indication only
P10 supports two faster charging standards, I don't have the numbers in front of me but it can use both 9V with 2A and 5V with higher A than the usual 2. This is undocumented and I found out by accidentally using my old phone charger.

Question Charging woes

Help,
I have tried 3 different chargers (1 generic Anker, 1 supplied with Huawei P30 pro, and one supplied with Huawei mediapad tablet. none work
Nor does plugging into USB port on PC. I have tried various different cables to no avail. All cables work to charge P30 pro from its own charger @40 watts.
All chargers and USB port will charge the P30 pro
The only way I can get any juice at all into this bugger is by charging from the P30 pro directly.
I also noticed that the security update that installed last night took forever (roughly 4 hours) during 'optimising apps' phase.
Have tried factory reset too

Mine wouldn't even charge when the phone was off. it would show the battery symbol with 'lightning' but wouldnt actually charge - you could see the battery level drop in this state

I've figured out the problem. I have the P30 Pro charger and two Samsung chargers which are all USB A. None of them worked. What did work was a Huawei laptop USB C charger. It seems from reading elsewhere there's a good chance that USB A chargers won't work with the Pixel.
I thought Google hadn't included a charger with the Pixel for environmental reasons. Seems like many people will be forced to buy a new charger for their Pixel, thus defeating the point.

Blimey, that works. I'm a little annoyed I can't just plug it into my PC and slowly charge it overnight. but this saves the hassle of dealing with Googles useless support. Indeed the 'help article' I was directed to says to plug it into a PC as part of the fault finding.
Will anyone else's Pixel 6 (non pro) charge from PC USB connection??

It was probably a huge mistake for them to not include a charger with it.
yes, your charger needs to support PD 3.0 PPS charging to get the fastest charging possible on the pixels

The guy above didn't say it wouldn't charge at all with a regular charger or wire. He said for ***fastest charging possible*** you need PD3.

I've figured out the problem. I have the P30 Pro charger and two Samsung chargers which are all USB A. None of them worked. What did work was a Huawei laptop USB C charger. It seems from reading elsewhere there's a good chance that USB A chargers won't work with the Pixel.
I thought Google hadn't included a charger with the Pixel for environmental reasons. Seems like many people will be forced to buy a new charger for their Pixel, thus defeating the point.

There is more than one guy above. The one I am referring to is quoted above for your viewing pleasure.
Hi, just to confirm, my Pixel 6 will only charge from USB-C charger. I was hoping if someone could confirm whetehr theirs charges from a PC with USB-A to USB-C cable.
I admit it doesn't sound right that this won't work
Thanks

Mine charges without any issue at a PC with USB-A to USB-C cable from Anker.

Blimey, that works. I'm a little annoyed I can't just plug it into my PC and slowly charge it overnight. but this saves the hassle of dealing with Googles useless support. Indeed the 'help article' I was directed to says to plug it into a PC as part of the fault finding.
Will anyone else's Pixel 6 (non pro) charge from PC USB connection??

Mine does fast charge from the laptop USB-C connector, or even directly from the laptop power brick. The laptop is an Asus rog x 13 flow. If I am not wrong, in order to fast charge, your source has to support usb pd pps.
I'm sitting at work and my P6 charges just fine with a wall wart and a USB-A to USB-C cord. Not only that, but it's an LG wall wart that I have probably had since my LG G3 days (a long, long time ago). So even old power supplies will work.
If your phone isn't charging from a computer USB port, I suspect it is because of the amount of power being supplied by the laptop over the USB port. It's not a built in limitation of the phone however.

yes, your charger needs to support PD 3.0 PPS charging to get the fastest charging possible on the pixels

what should I see under battery settings?
I see charging rapidly with my 30W charger. The Anker charger reads PPS but I am not entirely sure it's PD 3.
thanks!

PPS is a standard that started with pd 3.0. Your charger is the correct one for fast charging.
so do we have any charger recommendations? the 3 i tried, after processing through AMERE, they are topping out at 15w-18w...
I just posted about one I think should work in another thread, should find out soon if I was right lol
