Like all of you, I sit here waiting for my S8 to arrive. In the mean time I thought I would create a thread to post about USB C Chargers and Cables.

Like most of us, I have a bunch of Micro USB chargers and cables but no USB C units.

If you have any recommendations, post them here. Any ones to aovid, post here. I will update the OP as we go.

I've currently got a 6P. The charger cable in the box was type C to Type C, plus a very short A to C cable which stays in the car. I've had half a dozen cheap micro to C adapters over the past year. None of them supported fast charge or data. I ended up buying a couple of Type A to type C cables and an OTG adapter from ebay

Has anybody had issues with USB-C cables and their S8 Active?

I bought several S8 and an S8 Active, along with some USB-C cables and a micro-USB to USB-C adapter. The cables work OK with the S8 but not with the S8 Active. However, the adapter works OK with both.
Could it be that the S8 Active's thicker case doesn't let the cable's male plug reach all the way into the port (I've cleaned the port)?
Comparing the length of the cable's male plug to that of the adapter, I see no noticeable difference but perhaps shaving off some of the plastic base might work.
I'd hate to pay for some high-end cables and find out they don't work either.
