Quick Charge 2.0 Accessories - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know Google mentioned the 6P can charge quickly, but I don't recall hearing anything saying "QuickCharge 2.0 compatible". If it is compatible, which accessories are recommended? Based on a quick Amazon search, I've found:
Car Charger
Would it be possible to pair this with a USB A to USB C cable? I need to purchase all new adapters as I was relying on Qi charging pads. I need many new adapters, and just need to know which ones to purchase. Thanks!

I was wondering the same. The charger is 5v/3A rather than variable voltage

Yea... I have the same question.. I have a couple quick charge 2.0s.. can I get a standard usb to usb-c adapter like https://store.google.com/product/usb_type_c_to_usb_standard_a_plug_cable and plug it into quickcharge and will i get quickcharge capabilities?

I have the same question, i think we have to wait some guys to receive the sample and confirm if the Nexus 6P support qualcomm quick charge 2.0
for the car charger, here is my recommend.
You don't need to get another type c cable, just plug and charge.

Didn't Qualcomm announce quick charge 3.0 too?

coming with the 820, I believe

This phone supports USB 3.1 and USB Type-C so therefore it supports the new usb power delivery spec which is capable of up to 100w. If I were to bet money, I would say google is referring to this as "quick charging", not to be confused with Qualcom's implemntation.

Doesn't have 3.1. Still 2.0

Google has stated it does not support QuickCharge 2.0 but just the faster charging that USB C allows for.

You are correct, some tech sites were originally posted that this phone supported USB3. Its now been confirmed that its only USB 2.

You say that the 6P doesn't support "power delivery". How is Google providing 15W to the phone via it's Type-C charger? From what I understand, the pins for Vbus in the Type-C cable/plug is the only way to provide that power? As you can see, I'm a little confused.

Maybe they used their magic to find a better way to do it

**Delete**

Now I'm totally confused... so this doesn't support the same quick charging that's in the current line of micro USB phones, such as the Note 5 and S6? And it doesn't take advantage of the newer USB type C technology that allows for faster charging? So how the heck does it provide a "quick charge" for a quick boost in battery?

Here is a great article explaining Quick Charge and why the 2015 Nexus devices (possibly) do not have it; link

I think the wikipedia page may have been missing something important in what I quoted from them. That "Power Delivery 2.0" doesn't have to be supported for a Type-C cable. Based on the wattage of the new chargers though it does look like Power Delivery 2.0 is being used, just not the full 100 watts that Power Delivery 2.0 does support, but it's definitely over the 7.5 watt limit of usb 3.0.
What's important to note is that Power Delivery 2.0 can be supported on Type C cables with usb 2.0.

Helpful article, just not news I wanted to read.
I have 3 QC 2.0 adapters, and 1 QC 2.0 car charger. Luckily, I did just purchase this http://amzn.com/B0146FK3G0 for $12 using a coupon code. This should charge the Nexus 6P at 15W since it's a native USB-C charger, with an additional QC 2.0 port. Just need to find another wall adapter now.

The specs say that the Type-C port only does 5V/2.4A (12W) so you're not going to get fast charging off of that on your 6P (which needs 15W). You need to find something that does 5V/3A over Type-C.

it is not a cheap one . but compared to apple macbook charger, it is a better deal.
Moreover, now you are confirming that it will charge the 6P also, i think it will better than getting a spare charger for each device.
this one has two ports, you can use your own cables and is $20 cheaper. I understand it is less power than the other how ever its more than enough to fast charge the 6P. https://store.google.com/product/usb_c_dual_port_charger

this is excellent for those who are planning to get a USB C power bank as it is possible to charge it through a mico-usb or USB C ports. For sure the type C will charge the power bank faster.
here is an example of a USB C power bank from RAVPower by the way:

USB Output: 5V/ 2.4A

Quick charge 2.0 or 2A charger?

Which one will charge faster?
keaheng said:

Click to expand...

Depends on which class quick charger. It can go up to 3 amps I believe.
Either one will only charge up to 1.5A, considering they both use chargers with a USB Type-A port (the traditional rectangular port). This phone doesn't support Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0.
If you want the faster 3A charging mode, you'll need a charger with a USB Type-C connector and a cable with USB Type-C connectors on both ends.
While the marketing says this is "fast-charging" It's actually part of the USB Type-C specifications.

Thanks for your explanation. I thought pairing a 3A USB-A charger with a USB-A-to-C cable will still work, but in reality it's limited to 1.5A which baffled me a lot. Now I know the reason... Goddamn Google, there's no way I could buy a second original charger set in my country!

Yeah its kind of lame. Supposedly its where all android devices are headed, but not very helpful for us 6p owners right now. I got a good car charger USB C cable that charges it as quick as the stock charger through amazon for only $13(prime member). I also use a USB 3.0 A to USB 3.1 C cable on a charger that supports quick charge and it goes up to 1700 amps which is almost two thirds of stock.
QC 2.0 hardware is present on the Nexus 6P
So does anyone, then, know why QuickCharge 2.0 isn't supported, despite that the hardware necessary for supporting it IS available?
https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+6P+Teardown/51660?revisionid=HEAD
If you head down to Step 14, you can see that this device does, in fact, support the SMB1351 that is the power management piece necessary for QC 2.0.
Do we just assume that it's disabled in the firmware of the device?

Any issues with using Samsung USB C cables/chargers on V20?

With all the returns and obtaining of phones I've amassed a nice stockpile of Samsung fast chargers and a few Samsung USB C cables(and adapters).
I've read before that USB C allows for non standard use of cables by manufacturers so I'm wondering if anyone has tried or knows if it will be an issue using the said chargers/cables (yes I know the Samsung chargers are only QC 2.0 spec).
I have a QC 3.0 car charger I got from Aukey during a sale. I have some Aukey USB A to USB C cables too that work fine with my Note 7 too.
Trying to see if I need to slowly replace my Samsung chargers with official QC 3.0 wall chargers (will need at least 2)
Here at work I am using my Note 7 charger setup. Left LG flat cable at home.

It's adaptive fast charger and does either 5.0v @ 2A or 9.0v @ 1.67A so 10w or 15w respectively
All QC are backwards compatible. QC 3 will know you are using QC 2 and charge at the rate of QC 2. If you use a QC 3 charger and have a QC 2 device the device will only draw QC 2. So you have nothing to worry about as long as they are QC compliant

Fast Charging (hardware)

I am curious if any of you have tried third party CABLES for your Le Pro 3 charging. I purchased a pack from Amazon and found that none of these charge the phone with any kind of urgency. A thirty minute drive delivered 4% battery, on a QUICK CHARGE CAR CHARGER. With the OEM cable, I would have gotten 30-40%, based on my testing thus far.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The product I picked up (and plan on returning):
[/B]Conforms to the USB Type C Specification version 1.1, standard 56kilohm identification resistor, which ensures a safe charging at 2.4A Maximum and the speed of data sync up to 480 Mbps. No damage to your wall charger adapter and legacy USB hub
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have any of you had luck, or experience, here?
Do I perhaps need a special kind of cable? I am assuming all USB C cables are "equal" due to the tech behind usb c.
Any feedback is welcomed and appreciaited.

I too thought that all usb c cables are the same. Are you sure you were using quick charge 3.0 charger?
Yuppers. Sadly, I'm positive. I used the OEM brick this morning, and received 2% in 10 minutes. This is massively low compared to the OEM cable. The car is also a quick charge that typically charges my phone upwards of 40% on my daily commute. This did closer to 3%.
The o ly factor that has been changed is the cable.
Sounds like you got a bad cable. Return it and buy one that is approved by Benson Leung.
Agree with NiHaoMike. Try Anker Powerline Cables.

Is it possible that the issue is with the type C cable being a 2.0 vs 3.0 USB? I am noticing that my order contained USB 2.0 to USB C...WHILE OTHER USB C cable show 3.0 and 3.1
I am using Tronsmart and Choetech USB-C cables from amazon with no problem.
QC 2.0 chargers also seem to work quite well for fast charging.

USB Power delivery standard supported?

I know we've got 30W dash charge but is the usb pd protocol with 18w or similar also supported or are we limited to 10w standard usb charging?

If you are willing to unlock your bootloader it shouldn't be a problem. Most kernels provide the options to enable usb pd.
I don't know if that is available in stock and there are no Informatik so about it as far as i know.
would love to know this also as i have a bunch of other USB C chargers and it would be a shame if i can only get 5/10 watts out of them
AFAIK the phone does support USB PD indeed.
I can confirm that it supports power delivery. I have a 30w ravpower charger and it does say "charging quickly" when using a usb c to usb c cable, as opposed to "warp charging" with the included cable and charger or simply "charging" when charging slowly.
I'm still not sure what's best for prolonging the device's battery life to charge, warp, PD or "slow" charging though.

I guess warp charge will be the best quick charge method as they developed this themselves but at least we've got options.
