Man fuck this complicated shit, I just want to charge my dam phone lol.
What about the charger that comes with your phone?
Norbert Rivera mine broke
Norbert Rivera also Nexus 5X doesn't come with a type C - type A cable
Deonte Stewart ikr which is why they should keep micro usb
Norbert Rivera A lot of people get extra chargers. I always keep my original charger at home and buy a couple of less
expensive ones to keep in other places besides home.
Wtf when did charging cables got so complicated?
Best reply..lol..keep it up bro
Because it's not just + and - cable. It needs data too. And must be packed together and require high current, and always bends when in use making it stretch-unstretch and will snap sometime.
It's mainly, because manufactures don't match the amount of power consumption of the cable and/or block. This has actually been an issue for a while, since type-c is so powerful, and universal, its just becoming more widespread.
Lol, I know!!!
When this guy explain them , dislike video making me complicated
Just to clarify to everyone
1. this issue is with type A (your typical rectangle USB 1/2/3.0 connector) on one end of the cable and type C ( the new rounded shaped connector) on the other, that is what he means by type A to C.
2 . Type C to C connectors (the same connector on both sides) are 100% fine to use.
3. the app is developed to check A to C connectors, NOT C to C connectors. so C to C connectors will appear to fail even tho they are fine to use.
Hopefully this helps those of you out who are a little confused.
Clear and precise for me to understand the situation, thanks :-P
+SwanOnYT Thanks for this :)
+SwanOnYT Thanks for the clarification!
oh ok yeah i was looking for C to C and was seeing a bunch of 3.0. but if C to C is mostly fine then i can sleep better.
ah ok thanks makes me feel better
Great video! Still wondering, does this applies to USB to microusb cables? Can they be "bad" or "good"?
Gotta love to work around that guy. He's so passionate about his craft!
My biggest question is which watt charger to use when buying a new usb-c charger.
I have 2 devises that are USB-c charging ports. Moto z force and Chromebook pro. I was looking at getting a nekteck 90watt charger that's usb-if certified to use on both . Would that be a problem??
Thanks
Thank you for your help. Could you please confirm if thunderbolt 3 cable are the same for both windows and mac?
Your link to cable checker app doesn't work
which one would you recommend as a second charger for the n6p ?
Which type-c cable should I buy to use with an oneplus two?
is there an advantage of usb c to usb c over usb a to usb c? I see chargers with type c ports as well as type c ports at the back of newer IO panels of PC motherboards.
My Kindle Fire used a micro USB (USB-B). I had to buy one last month after the original cord frayed after six years. The man at Target was very helpful. He even found me a USB-B cord that was two feet longer than my original. I used it in my original power brick, and everything worked out fine.
Hii, thanks for the video....i would like to know how to connect the c cable from laptop to one plus two ?? if i need to charge the phone from laptop...
Not so sure alot this video. Those cables are simply indicating to the phones that the maximum supply current of the chargers is 3A. A good adapter will only supply the maximum rated current and no more. A good Phone charging circuit will equally use only the correct charging current for its battery which is nowhere near 3A anyway.
That was a really good sponsor spot. If only all ads were that entertaining. And good info on the cables.
wait, I bought a usb type b keyboard and usb type c mouse... when it's delivered can I use them both still???
Can anyone recommend me a connector adapter that meets spec? I want to reuse my existing MicroUSB cables.
Thank you for this video. Learned a few things here.
You and John are awesome and I look forward to your videos daily.
Can I use the Samsung fast charging on the Nintendo Switch or use the original cable that it comes with in the box?
hi would happen to know from you if what would be the appropriate power bank charger for a GPD Pocket and the appropriate cable to use? hope you can help me, thank you.
Hey I'm I need of help I just got a Samsung Galaxy a50 which has the type c fast charger I need the app for android please???
reply ASAP.
Sorry, I was talking about usb-A to usb-C cable, is there a difference for charging smartphone via computer and when transferring data. Will I break my battery if I use 3.0 cable? Also, can I use type-C to type-C to charge my smartphone, is it safe for battery. Smartphone supports quallcom quick charge 3.0. Sorry if I wasn't clear in my previous message.
The link to the checker app is broken.
There are tons of them out there by now but I want to use the one you recommended and it's practically impossible to find it between all the other ones on Google Play.
New link? Please?
Thanks a lot for explaining very clearly what the issue is in a technical way. I've heard many dumbed down versions of what you said.

Great video, really easy to understand without going too deep into terminology.
Its not always good to be spoon fed information
So I get it, the cables are really important but what about the Adapters that you plug into, Do I have to worry about those with spec cables? Is there an approved Car Charger yet?
How about Quickcharger cables? I got one that is retractable. It does not work after a few days. This was Quickcharge 2.0, intel version that still does 2A
I have OnePlus 3T with dash charger, but I hate the standard 1m cable so how will Anker powerline+ work with the dash charging?
Why do some USB cables that come with devices have a bulge that looks like a short AA battery in between the A and C connectors? For example, "USB Cable IFC-400PCU" that comes with Canon cameras have this bulge. What is that thing and if you replace with it USB cable that doesn't have the bulge will it harm the device? I can't find any information online on what that thing is that is in between the A and C connector.
Apparently that app is not available in my country so can you recommend any other??
The App called "checker" does not exist in the link provided. Has the link changed?
I still have issues comprehending the full problem here.
I just bought the OP3, which has I assume an up to spec cable now.
But if I charge the OP3 with a standard micro usb cable with an adapter on it such as an aukey, will that cable be up to spec?
and what if I use the OP3 cable on a standard 5v, 1-2.4 amp charger?
My huawie wall adapter only outputs 2amps so im guessing il be safe using any cheap usb c cable?? Also the checkr app is only available for like 3 phone models all google nexus...

Benson, the engineer, did an update on his review of the techmatte type c adapter and tested were safe to use! used it myself with checkr app.. Good to go!
I bought nxet usb c magnetic cable is this a good make?
So what do I do now with my OnePlus 2 Cable?
If this is the case, why isn't the company replacing its cables and providing the proper ones to people who have patiently gone through the invite system to get the OP2
So is any type c to type c cable ok to use? for a type c keyboard to a MacBook type c port. So I could use a type c to type c charging cable and it would still transfer a sufficient amount of data?
what if the cable supports 3amp but the adapter has max output of 2.1A and does this make all the power banks not useful anymore?
well thanks, i was about to buy a few cables cause i need them (obviously), now i know where to get them and which ones to get. great video.
I'd recommend i-orange cables. There nice
Davaughn Saunders that's exactly what i was going for.
what about Aukey 3.0 usb to type c cable is it good? please tell me
Well that explains why my $4 chargers kept breaking.. thanks for the video!
Julie Camille ı love you baby
Julie Camille Get Anker cables
get blitzwolf charger and cable
Extremely cheap chargers can also be dangerous and some people have died using a malfunctioning charger. The reason is the cheap chargers often do away with safety features and safe design to save money on components so it's a bit of Russian roulette with the very cheap wall chargers.
@@elijahpascual2505 No, get manufacture cables if you can.
Are there any issues with going from a USB C spec cable into a USB C Female to USB Micro adapter? I have a Galaxy S9, which is my first USB C device, but a bunch of peripherals that need USB Micro to charge.
So is any type c to type c cable ok to use? for a type c keyboard to a MacBook type c port. So I could use a type c to type c charging cable and it would still transfer a sufficient amount of data?
Can anyone tell me does it matter if I use usb-C 3.0 or 2.0 for charging my phone via computer? I'm talking about type-C - typeC cable. Will usb-C 3.0 cable cause any damage? I want to use usb-C cable to transfer files faster.
I have a question I have a speaker Bluetooth from Sony that requires a 1.5 amp or 3 amp USB power adapter unfortunately the cable that came with it is 1.5 amp rated with this damage my product or would I be better off buying the 3 amp cable

Same problem with mini USB. Not all support data at all on some. Others limit how much power is transferred , all on the cable itself.
I've used cheap cables a lot and never had anything blow out. The only issue with them is that they take longer to charge and break faster.
Do you mean like Apple chargers?
And drain your battery faster
The "only" issue lol proceeds to name the two most important things about a cable
@@thraxberserker9960 So you just commented to comment, then.
@@MicroTechForms Yea reason why people reply to comments. This is like saying a restaurant is great the only issues are the food doesn't taste good and it's hard to eat it.
not mentioned in the video but make sure when you're using checkr you plug the USB A to type c cord into a computer USB port, not a charger.
The Cable Checker app link says We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server.

Usb c with 3.1 standard that's all you need for data transfer.
While for charging your phone, it's okay if you use 2.0 standard as long as it support fast charging.
