Hi,
I have bought the oneplus 5 and I am looking for safe accessories 100% compatible with my smartphone.
Because of some articles findable on the web, I'm a little afraid to use another cable and another charger than the original one XD
I have not followed all this history....
I know that Benson Leung have a website where he said what cables are good but, the Oneplus cable doesn't folow the Default USB Power for type C cable so a "good" cable who respect this Default USB Power is safe to use with the 5 ?
For example I have this cable OUI POWER, I used it for my Oneplus One for few mounth and it's very good !! But can I use it with the adaptator included (microUSB to TYPE C) on my 5 ?
And what about the charger ? And adaptator like TYPE C to microUSB or TYPE C to TYPE A?
I have found (in franch amazon because i'm french... so I can't buy a LOT of approuved cable by Leungs ):
- Micro USB to type C Adaptator
- Type C to Type C cable
But I need type C to type A adaptator and type C to microUSB too.... And I don't know what choose...
A technical electronic's lesson seams to be important
Thanks
Always go for a known company. Anker, Nillkin or Aukey. I have bought the Anker 24W Wall Charger (2 USB Ports) with Power-IQ, Anker Car Charger (2 USB Ports) with Power-IQ, one Anker Powerline II USB Type-C Cable (6 ft) and one Anker Powerline II Braided (Red) USB Type-C Cable (6 ft).
Additionally I wanted to get an Anker Powerbank but in Bulgaria they cost an arm and a leg. So far I am more than satisfied by the quality of these products. At home I do have few Nillkin cables, chargers etc, and their quality is on par with Anker. I have not tried the Aukey products but a lot of people are recommending them.

Advice #1: not all USB A to USB C cables can be used with all USB chargers - use with caution!
Especially with PC's, laptops and in-car systems!!
Sorry if this is old news for everybody, but it was news to me!
With USB A to USB B, if the charger / USB port was only capable of 0.5A or 1A, the charger would just trickle along at whatever it could provide... USB C is very different, will just pull WHATEVER it can, as fast as it can.
According to the USB-C spec, there is a 56k ohm resistor fitted to the cable to prevent excessive current being drawn. Some cables have no resistor / insufficient resistance (e.g. 10k ohm) / incorrect wiring - all of which has the same net result - lack of control on the charging.
Through some semi-painful experience, I now know that the OEM LGE USB A to USB C cable that came with my G5* does NOT have the resistor that signals the device not to try to draw too much current: after a few minutes of charging with my OEM Samsung S5 charger, despite being a 2A charger, it got very warm and went "pop".
*LG G5 H850, fully sealed, from the Vodafone shop in Canary Wharf (London).
There's an app for that: Almost - It seems that there is a decent app (CheckR), but it is VERY explicitly for the Nexus 5X and Pixel-C devices that links into the Nexus Kernel and allows it to query if the cable you're using is going to throttle the voltage to the charger's max or if it will burn it out.
Does anybody know if there an alternative app that does the same for the LG G5?
Where to get USB cables?!? According to the press (UK Guardian Newspaper) all the Amazon USB-C kit is tested for this resistor - presumably so Amazon don't get sued for causing any fires when USB chargers blow up, burning out the USB circuits on your in-car multimedia system / laptop / PC.
I'm assuming other manufacturers / retailers are catching on and will start to publish their cable specs more clearly, but for the time being, even the OEM USB cable will potentially break any old chargers.... and more importantly laptops, PC's and in-car infotainment systems!
Look for reviews from Google Engineer Benson Leung on Amazon. He tests the explicit performance of the cables (including the presence of the resistor). If he gives it 5 stars you know that the cable will work properly. He has tested dozens, if not hundreds of cables.
If Amazon finds a faulty product they will pull it, but first that product has to be found ot be faulty. They are not checking the inventory themselves. This is why Benson Leung's reviews are so important.
well since you did not post the link i'll do it now:

if you are from a different country just look for the same cables on your local amazon.
i bought four of theese: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AHKYIRS
to awaken my micro usb cables back to life.
does its job and will work with quick charge 3 aswell
I bought a few items from Amazon for a good price and have had great luck with these products and just wanted to share with everyone.
I went from other HTC devices that utilize qc2.0 and needed to step up my game and this is what I bought to do so.

Be aware of chargers who claims quickcharge 2.0 or 3.0.
Lots of products are crap. Learnt the hard way.
I only buy Quickcharge certified products. As listed here, to be found on their website.
http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/59416ea7d6c4b/quick-charge-device-list.pdf
The One thing can say about the items I listed above is that they do indeed trigger the "rapidly changing" when checked on the lockscreen. Also utilizing the "ampre" app they do indeed have a comparable rate of charge. I haven't done any timed test as compared to the oem charger and cord though.
I want to buy a cable for charging Oneplus 5 (well today man need more charging cables - in car, home, work ...). And I looked at description for this Anker cable. There is written "Nicht kompatibel" (unsuitable) for Oneplus 3. Why?
And Oneplus 3 uses the same cable as Oneplus 5 ...
Probably cos it's not a dash charge cable
Is DASH cable:
1. Something special and is needed OR
2. maybe DASH charging depends only on charger, if good cable is connected?
Tnx.
I believe these cables are legit. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K43UTWG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Does anyone know what specification USB C car charger I should buy to charge rapidly? I tried my old OnePlus car charger but that uses a different technology and charges relatively slowly.
I have and use both of these. Work great and no issues so far. Many will recommend Anker too. good luck

I believe it's USB c pd 2.0 (power delivery).
I bought this at Wal-Mart on clearance for $13. It includes the charger and an extra USB c to c cable. It states now "rapidly charging" when connected and it is quite fast. Can't tell about durability since I bought it yesterday. Reviews say it's cheap, but so far so good. If you look for it, make sure it has the USB c to c cable and states 5.2 amps on the box. There is another with a USB a to c and 4.8 amps that is not pd 2.0.
Thanks all,
In the end I bought https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07PN4SKGQ...+charger&qid=1557994468&s=gateway&sr=8-2&th=1 - I liked the form factor and it seems (after 1 day of use) pretty robust.
So I ordered this in a good offer, had my doubts but when I plugged in. In. It does what it says, I had my 10% to 45% of charge within 15 minutes. I actually went for this to charge my laptop which I'm here to try but the phone I was not expecting the charging to go as good as the wall charger. Below is the link, the product is from UGREEN these guys are just getting better like Anker but without breaking the bank.
