anyone know how to choose a good type c cable and adapter for super fast charge supported phone like honor 10 other than original from huawei? from mi store etc ?

Get any 1m usb type c DECENT cable. I saw a thing(i dont know if its real) that you should not buy 1,5m-2m cables for fast charging because it wouldnt work well.
blitzwolf is a good and cheap brand on aliexpress,
but why risk 3rd party incompability (and perhaps damage to your Phone?)
when you can buy the official huawei fastcharger on aliexpress really cheap

Hi guys,
I bought a genuine lg cable model no. DK-100M but unfortunately the awg size of the wiring is lower than the cable supplied with the home charger so if I try to use it to charge the lg g2 is quite slow.
Could you please tell me the exact model of a genuine lg cable like the one supplied with the charger capable of doing fast charges?
Thank you!
Why bother and pay much more? I'm using original Samsung Galaxy S4 travel charger and cable and it performs SAME as original LG one. You can have it for few bucks on eBay or Amazon.
I got a Sony charger. It has Fastcharge mentioned on it. It is rated at 2A.
So most 2 Ampere charges from reputed brands will work. When I use the Current Widget, this Sony charges my G2 at 1.6 Amps which is exactly the same as the default LG charger.
I do not need the charger. I just need a fast charge cable.

Even cheaper. Just buy original Galaxy S4 cable...
Is it possible to just buy as spare part a genuine lg cable like the one supplied with the phone? I do not believe that lg does not sell it alone.
I would prefer the lg cable.

Yes. Just contact LG customer service and they'll ship it 2 you for, I believe, $8 + shipping.
u got it all wrong. The charge speed is not determend by the size.
If u What to charge with over 500mah u ned to chortsircut data wires or your Phone just Thinks it Connected to a copmputer usb port. Most chargers have this i The charger. some lowqualety chargers dont. thats Whe o are slowcharging.
mod the cable. (cant
be used as data aftrr)
If it's just a cable, I think it doesn't matter as much.
I tested my old HTC cable and Motorola cable and both are able to fast charge me phone.
Members, you can use this thread for this Topic, btw I use an official Sammy Note 3 charge works great IMO, cheap on Amazon.
Thread Closed.

This LG travel adapter for the G3 looks exactly like the one I have for my G3, but unless you are willing to open it up you'll have to decide based on the seller rating (stars).
If they don't ship to your country you can buy third party chargers from Anker, I know people who own Anker brand chargers and they're quite reliable in that their chargers can charge the G3 at full speed. I would even say they are the best 3rd party charger brand
Are any of these on the market? I can't find them for the life of me.
Same here. Been checking amazon every other day, can't find squat for QC 4. Remember the 4+ is the safety features on the phone, don't believe there will be "4+ chargers".
I can only find QC3 in chargers or battery banks.
I did find Razer chargers for 25$ on amazon... Which is decent, I was afraid they might charge like 40 bucks.
Only one I have found is the one razer sells for 39.99

Yeah I was looking for Ravpower/Anker/Aukey ones however they dont have anything QC4+ yet. Not that i bought the power bank for the phone as ive yet to go low enough on the battery during a working day where i have had to plug the phone in for a charge. 45mins or podcast/music 30mins lunch of netflix and 45mins at the end of the day for podcasts/music and sending the odd email or message during the day battery hasnt took a hit for needing anything to carry around.
Question
I would need a 2nd charger to keep in my bag and it raises the question of does QC4+ require a certain USB cable or will any longer USBC work fine as i was going to use the supplied one for out and about as its 1m and buy a larger Nation Union one like 10m for my room but didnt want to stress a cable or blow the phone or charger.
I found this link however most brands have only QC3 - https://www.ravpower.com/qc.html
00178273 Hama "Qualcomm® Quick Charge™ 4+" Charger, maybe this one is Q.C. 4 charger but for selected country
As far as I know Razer Phone 2 is the only phone that ships with a QC 4.0 charger and it probably is the only one available right now. It is available for $24.99 in the US at Razer.
Found one at Amazon.com for $15.99. Though, it isn't of any reputed brand, the reviews are good. Also it ships to India for around $29.
I could find a QC 4.0 car charger on AliExpress with both USB A and C ports. Not sure how genuine their claim is. Price $7.33.
Apart from that there are makers of QC 4.0 chargers but they don't specify how to buy them.
1. Portway Technologies
2. Everwin
Note: I have noticed that these chargers require a USB Type C to Type C cable.
This is my first USB C device so I don't have a lot of information if I should be just purchasing random USB C cords on Amazon to charge my OP6T at work. Any suggestions or information on what type of cord I should get would be helpful. I would like to purchase 2-3 cords in different lengths if possible (one for work as mentioned, one for the car, and one for my battery pack).
USB c has been out long enough to trust the reviews of them on Amazon. Just check the ratings and read some of the reviews
I'll put in a high vote for anything Anker.

I have a USB-A--> USB-C cable from Anker. Definitely can't complain.
I have been using the Aukey cables without any issues so far. Get the longer ones for data and the shorter ones if you are only using it for charging.
I've had a couple that worked fine elsewhere but would not dash (yeah I now they lost the right to use that name) charge my OnePlus devices, I'd read the reviews and make sure you're ordering something that's going to leverage your charger. I've got a couple older OnePlus cables in the drawer which I'm assuming will work but I cant prove it until the 6th.
If you want fast charge you have to use the originals. If you want spares you can get some in AliExpress for a reasonable-ish price.
If you want cables to use with batteries or don't care about fast charge, I find that TOPK cables are pretty good, cheap too. They usually come in several colours, have cord and are pretty flexible.
An engineer at Google, Benson Leung, took it upon himself to test many cables for standards compliance. I cannot get his site to load, but I found this article that lists some of his approved cables. http://buyandroidchargers.com/list-of-benson-leungs-usb-c-google-engineer-usb-c/

Based on the recommendation here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/accessories/ordinary-usb-cables-support-dash-t3838411
I wanted a longer cable to plug into my computer, as well as a couple of additional cables to charge at work and in my car. I am also purchasing the OPPO charger for work as well, since it can be had cheaper than the OnePlus wall wart.
These are replacing worn out and slower type C cables.
I thought if you want fast charge you have to use the charger. The cable can be any quality cable

AFAIK USB type A side has additional pins for DASH/Fast Charge. That's why it won't work on any other cables.

I read on OnePlus site that if you want fast charge you have to use their supplied cable or equal too.
I have a few of these aftermarket ones from amazon, work fine with dash charging.

I was going to say, I haven't had a look see for a while but this morning I hit Amazon and there are a number of cables that work with dash charge according to the reviews. Some that don't, also according to the reviews. My big takeaway was half the price of the official goods so I went ahead and ordered the same one the fellow above me linked because it's the first one I ran into that was 6 ft instead of a meter. Glad to here someone got there first and it worked: Amazon reviews are good but I have more faith in a thumbs up from a fellow phone person.
Anker all the way.

Can you link a fast charge cord or adapters from AliExpress? I swear I never know what's fake on that website. I've ordered a few things from them before but only on smaller purchases.
I ordered one from Amazon .. it comes from shenzen China. Where most electronics are made in China..
It's literally a official OP cable but packaged in a generic box.
I tested and it works for dash charge..
It's exactly the same except it says dash on the tip .
And it was under $7
I'll post a link of anyone shows interest

I asked my friend in Asia to buy me some Oppo chargers and OP 1.5m dash cable. It costs around $3 for the Oppo charger and $4 for the cable. Also bought the dash car charger for under $10.
I have a spare USB-C cable from my Nintendo Switch, also a spare charger from an old iPad. Is it safe to use them to charge my phone?
I've read people saying they won't use any other acessories other than OP, and other people saying it is safe to use 3rd party stuff as long as it is good quality brands (I assume Nintendo and Apple would be considered to be good quality).
So... is it safe? Would you do it? Why?
Thanks a lot!!
Personally I don't see any issue with this as long as the USB-C cable has the proper 56k resistor in it. I would assume that an official Nintendo cable would have this.
I personally use multiple different chargers for my 6T and good quality cables like Anker or Aukey without any issues at all.

It should be safe.
It's not going to deliver more than 1.5A. The phone won't fast charge with anything but. "dash" charger.
Shouldn't be a problem, i sometimes use my wife's Samsung Note 8 charger on my phone, it's no dash charging but it does do a job.
There are amazon brands which are equally good and way cheaper than Nintendo or Apple stuff: AmazonBasics, Anker, Aukey,...

ive used my ZTE Axon 7 charger and my personal favorite aftermarket usb type-c cable, Anker, with no issues. it does not show the dash, warp, wth ever speed icon, but it works fine without frying my phone. that being said, i do typically just use the oem cable and charger. i think speed is the only tradeoff, but its quick charge 2 vs [one plus faster charge] so its a few min faster to use OEM is the only IRL difference i've seen.

The whole myth about using 3rd party cables and chargers can vary. Brands such as AmazonBasics, Anker, Aukey, and other reputable brands will be perfectly fine to charge with, but not dash charge (not that it will hurt the phone, it will only charge at normal speeds). OnePlus phones can only dash charge with OnePlus accessories, and do not support Qualcomm charging standards. Cables and chargers from other devices such as Nintendo, Apple, Google, HTC, etc. should also be safe to use. Charging with cables from brands you've never heard of, have bad reviews, known they don't have the proper 56k resistor or cables from that $50 RCA tablet you bought may work, but I doubt will have the necessary USB protection for charging.
Instead of spending $20 on an Apple Lightning cable (that will break in a year) costs more money than buying a $7 Anker cable on Amazon. So yes, I would do it not only for saving money but for convenience sake of having more cables.
