[Solution if you are facing USB-only charging with third-party AC chargers on your Nexus 5]
Hi Guys,
Initially, my Nexus 5 ONLY charged at USB mode with any other charger than the one supplied. I tried 5 chargers including the Trent 2.1A car charger and BB PlayBook high-speed charger. I also tries using the supplied USB cable with another charger but it was a slow-go.
Then, I noticed my buddy's N5 did not exhibit this problem.
My only solution was to reset the phone, log back in and charge with the supplied charger to 100%. Then, it magically started to show AC charging with other charges.
I wanted to share this with others in case they faced the same situation and were considering RMA due to hardware.
Kit Kat still have way too many bugs. (Settings is constantly crashing in the battery menu when I plug the charge in and out on two of our N5s.)

Thanks, I'll try reseting my Nexus 5 when I get home. Although, I havent been able to charge it using any charger not sure if the battery life is reporting correctly too. When you first saw the issue with yours not charging using the cable and ac adapter that came with your Nexus 5 did you happen to notice if your device was still asking you to connect the charger or not? Mine is still telling me I need to connect the charger or cable, even though I have my USB plugged into the device. I can send commands to the phone fine using adb or fastboot, just wont charge.
Unfortunately your trick didn't work for me with my N5. My N5 charges off of SOME chargers (The N4, N5, N7 2012, and Samsung 2.1 Chargers, as well as my EasyACC 1200 battery pack, only port 1.3 volt, all others show as USB.) My car charger fails, Duracell 2 USB port with 2A output, and so does every other battery pack that I own fail with charging. All report USB Mode. I think it has to do with the Quickcharge 2.0 or possibly the fact that this has G2 innards to an extent. The G2 has quite a few chargers reporting as "Slow Charge" rather than "Fast Charge." Quite Irksome but I suspect it will be resolved with an update soon.
To confirm that it wasn't a hardware problem of my N5, I borrowed a Coworker's N5 and experienced the same thing on my chargers.

I returned my first nexus 5 to google because it did not charge unless it was with the original charger. I tried it with the USB charging port on my radio and also a sony USB cable + plug combo and the charge was terribly slow. I have a nexus 4 and 7 and they had no issues charging this way so thought it was a fault with the handset.
When I received my replacement I was really hoping this issue was resolved but sadly not. The second handset had the same issue. I then researched online and came across this forum post. I reset the handset, charged it to 100% with the cable and plug provided with the phone. Just to be on the safe side I discharged the handset fully and charged it to 100% again. The same fault reoccured. I then compared my nexus 5 to my 4 and 7. When charging the 4 and 7 through my radio, it showed charging via AC on the battery properties on the handset. The 5 in the same situation showed charging via USB. I then tried to charge my 5 using an emergency charger I had lying about and to my surprise, that charged fine showing as AC charging. I then took the USB cable from the emergency charger and plugged it into my radio's charged port. It showed AC again and charged as normal. I then used the original USB cable I always plug into the radio into the outlet of emergency charger too and that showed AC on the phone too.
I don't really have a conclusion to why this it charges fine with one power source and cable and not another as there seems to be no logic to this. I think the nexus 5 is really picky how it likes to be charged. I can't see why this phone is soo finiky charging when all my other devices charge fine regardless where and how. I am now worried that if I'm at work or out and about and need an emergency top up my handset won't charge. I really hope this is a software fix
I looked on Amazon and what I found was this usb c to type C charger
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B017...rger+5v+2a&dpPl=1&dpID=416MoYVvhHL&ref=plSrch
It's rated at 5v/3a but the charger that is used by the honor 8 is 5v/2a so I was wondering if this would work or no
You could use it to charge your Honor 8 but it won't quick charge it.
The quick charger you get with the phone is a 9V/2A and while it can charge Qualcomm Quickcharge enabled phones the opposite is not true.
I guess you'll have to find a charger that fits specifically to the Honor 8.

honor stock charger is rated at 9v/2A
Has anyone found any other charges, does Honor sell the charges separately. I'd like to buy a few for home and office.
I ordered this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/HUA...32708509123.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.KIfdoC
It comes with a Micro USB cable, so you'll need a Type C one. Fast Charge works.
What I did was order the Huawie Honor gift box that comes with usb to usb-c cable, rapid charger adapter, micro usb to usb-c adapter, and a selfie stick. I got it for $10 off amazon during black friday. I went this route, because there really wasn't much 3rd party support nor guarantee their rapid charge work on this phone.
So i did a little researching for a fast charger that will work and i found and tested one. I can confirm that it works with my honor 8 with no problems at all. Hope you enjoy. Comment with any others you have bought and tested. :good: search on amazon. I cant post link due to not posting 10 times.
HUSSELL Car Charger Quick Charge 3.0 + 2.4A Smart IC Dual USB Car Charger
The only charger that's charging my Pixel C is the original charger that came with the device.
I have a number of other chargers here, even a QC3.0 charger, and another USB-C charger (from a Moto Z2). None of them is charging the Pixel C! They do light up the charging icon, but when I look into the battery settings, it says: 'not charging'
What are your experiences with charging the Pixel C?
i use the factory charger, the charger from my oneplus 5, and if it is connected to my pc it charges during that time. i remember using a few others also and have had no issues with any specific charge method. in fact, i am sorta surprised by the post. i know the factory charger has a built-in cable, so i might first look at the cable used with any other charger. i bought some usb-a to usb-c cables from amazon and the oneplus 5 is a good usb-a to usb-c cable.
I purchased this from amazon
Anker Quick Charge 3.0 and USB Type-C 24W USB Wall Charger, PowerPort+ 1 for Galaxy C9 Pro, Nexus, Moto and More
I think it came with a cord
Anker PowerLine+ C to C 2.0 cable (6ft), High Durability, for USB Type-C Devices Including Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, the new MacBook, Nintendo Switch, Google Pixel, Nexus 6P, LG V20 G5 and More
this is optional.

All my chargers do that, including the original one. It takes maybe half a minute to a minute before this changes to "charging" in battery settings. So it's not a charger problem really.

well.... it once drained the battery, the screen stayed on because a charger was connected, but it did not actually charge the battery. i thought it was charging, some time later i noticed that it was not!
this and other experiments made me write this question on the forum.
update: due to a problem with the PIN I had to factory reset my Pixel C https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73807273&postcount=20
and ever since, different chargers NOW do charge the Pixel C!!! strange, but that's how it is now....
Sorry for resurrecting this old thread. Hopefully this may help others with this problem.
I am on my second pixel c and both had/have this problem with aftermarket chargers. For me, the problem is not that the chargers won't charge the unit, but that they won't charge the unit every time they're plugged in. My workaround is to run the ampere app and repeatedly plug the charger into the unit until it shows it charging. Normally it takes no more than 5 tries. It even charges rapidly.
I currently use an anker charger that works as above, my previous charger, Aukey, also worked similarly. Strangely enough, it doesn't matter which end of the cable(usb-c or USB) is removed and reinserted to get the pixel c charging. This proves to me that it's not a bad connection.
I can confirm that the Anker aftermarket charger works great. When I plug in the Pixelbook charger into the Pixel C the tablet will charge but it will reboot android everytime.... Very annoying!

any brand cable with 3A (aliexpress) solve your problem
Hi to all
Here you have my experience with my second hand pixel c.

Anker 5 ports QC2.0 not charging.
Aliexpress QC 3.0 charges but makes some bad touch screen errors and ghost touchs. It is impossible to use Pixel c.
Huawei 5v 2A. Not charge
With charge i mean in the battery options icon i can see charging...
Thanks to all.
I've read countless comments here about how dash charging requires a compatible charger and cable. However. I recently made an unexpected discovery that certain cables sold on Amazon support dash charging with the Oppo branded VOOC chargers (but apparently not the OnePlus branded charger). I discovered this by accident when I plugged this cable into my Oppo charger:
Cable Matters USB-C Cable (USB A to USB C Cable/USB C to USB Cable) in Black 6.6 Feet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S8GU544/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dkTJBbN069J3Z
Using this cable I get the beep, the blue light and the dash charging icon, and my OP6 does in fact charge at the faster rate. Wondering if it was a fluke, I bought a second cable and got the same results. This is great since these cables are 6 feet long, thin and flexible, and appear to be well made.
Now here's where it gets really weird: both cables only dash charge when plugged into the Oppo branded wall charger. When connected to the OnePlus charger they only charge at the normal rate. The Oppo charger looks exactly the same only with different branding. I do not know why these cables seem to work with one but not the other. I cant think of why they would support dash charging at all except that maybe they're made for the Chinese domestic market.

Is it safe for your cellphone?
From what I understand, OP has a way of knowing if one of their cables is connected. If using a generic cable, it will default to slow charging.
Seeing that OP fast charging is based off of OPPO fast charging, it should be fine.
I would assume the OPPO brick doesn't care who's cable you're using as long as it can support the higher charging rate
Ordered both, the USB/C cable was just delivered, 3ft is long enough. Found it on Amazon for $5 and the OPPO charger on eBay for $10, that's about a 1/2 price of Oem from OP site.($8 and $20 respectively) It's always good to have a spare 'just in case'.
Interesting find.

I think it's a sure bet since OnePlus and OPPO are under the same corporate umbrella. They might even have the same R&D for accessories.

I have read people recommending to get Oppo VOOC charger brick, as it supports Dash Charge.
Oppo and OnePlus are same companies.
Yes, its recommended to just buy oppo charger / cables. Both are the same and support dash (same name with vooc) . It's alot cheaper too.

Sometimes its the only option.
I am in Australia and the only charger with Australian pins is available through Oppo.
OnePlus does not manufacture AU chargers currently.
I have the official oneplus dash charger and the dash charging is activated with all the cables I have (an old huawei cable, and 2 generic ones) , but it took 3 to 4 seconds for the phone to activate dash charging while it is almost instantaneous with the official cable.
act OPPO and ONEPLUS is made in China and same parent company...instead of dash charges, OPPO call it VOOC
What about OPPO rapid (aka dash) car chargers for OnePlus?
If you can wait for shipping from China:
$8 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-O...pter-Cable-For-OnePlus-6-5T-5-3T/223031157260
$13 - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-O...e-C-Cable-For-Oneplus-3T-5-5T-6/263870632520?
Perhaps this $12 VOOC will work? https://www.amazon.com/TOOGOO-Type-C-Charger-Carregador-iPhone/dp/B07HFNB3HZ/
Hi all
Thanks very much to the o.p. for providing this solution to wanting a longer-than-OnePlus's-maximum-150cm (4ft 11in) length cable that actually fast-charges...

I'll be purchasing a "Cable Matters" 6.6ft cable based on the 1st post's suggestion, however if I can avoid buying the "Oppo branded VOOC charger" I would.

I was hoping to clear this up before proceeding with the order.
Anyone else able to get non-OnePlus OEM cables fast-charging with the OnePlus oem power supply wall charger?
For Indian Users:-
SKYVIK Blaze Nylon Braided Type C Dash Charging Cable for One Plus 3 3T 5 5T 6 6T (5V/4A)-2 Metre https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07GTX2F61/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yIy7BbQMREE97
This Cable supports Dash charging and it is considerably long as compared to stock Cable.
Has anyone found a 10ft cable that is compatible with warp charging?
BlitzWolf BW-P12 supports dash 20 on my op6t in case anyone needs a powerbank with Warp charge. they do not advertise it anywhere, it just works. Also the advertised low power charge does not work.
