USB C Chargers and Cables

[donguason]

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 always liked Choetech products, I purchased two of these so I'm set.

Also if you don't want to buy new cables just buy these micro USB to USB C adapters.

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

I ordred these for now.

I want to see what will be needed for fast charge. I have the 5 port fast charge hub at my desk I belive from Akuey and want to be able to still use that. I currently plug in my Ipad, Cell phone and have 3 extra ports for my clients to use.

Great cables.

Order the brand above. The cables are thick and the braiding is extremely nice. I've used them since My Nexus 6P

I won this one in a contest, but I have the micro usb version of it as well, and it's pretty sturdy

Are we going to need the 56k resister cables or not?

Found it, thx. Just had to look at the desktop version to find it easier.

Anyone know of a good hdmi to USB C cable?

 

[woodydog]

I got 2 black ones from the play store when I preordered Nexus 5x. They were pricey but the best phone cables IV seen.

 

[donguason]

Update the OP. These work but require the right charger.

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.
