Wait why? It's literally just a wireless charger and the phone just has a cool standby Google Assistant mode. Did they lock it down to just this charger? That'd be kinda dumb if they did. Here's a less than 20 dollar wireless charging stand and there's a ton of other options too. Maybe they don't look as cool but they're less than a quarter of the price.

Edit: Ok it'll work with any Qi charger. Don't buy the Google charger then. The phone is already enough of a rip-off compared with the competition. No reason to throw a way way way overpriced Qi charger into your shopping cart.

Or buy this and not have to worry about fucking it up.

Magnetic phone mount, would have included a phone case with a disc of metal in the back

Here's something similar

I feel like I'm posting about USB too much here, but people keep asking because it's easy to get confused about it. I just copied the table I made a while ago in a comment and added FAQs and notes for outside the US.

I hope this answers what people are really looking for better than the other threads.

Do you have some specific need I didn't answer? Have a USB-C charger you're curious about that isn't listed? Ask in a comment. Just keep in mind that (other than the iPad one) USB-A chargers won't give you good speeds. This includes the chargers bundled with even the most recent phones by Samsung, Apple, Sony, LG, and HTC.

I'll use this comment to note some USB-C chargers I'm aware of but don't recommend:

---------

Charging speeds vary

These chargers can give the Switch great speeds sometimes, but usually they're closer to just "okay". It seems to be random every time you plug it in. If the Switch is completely turned off (not just in sleep) when you plug it in, you'll almost always get those "great" speeds for as long as you keep it plugged in even after turning the Switch back on and playing. This happens because Nintendo's implementation of USB Power Delivery (USB PD) is very buggy. They're a hassle to use right for now, so I don't recommend them, especially since there are better alternatives now.

Charger|Price (USD)|Link|Notes

UGREEN 30W USB-PD charger|$17.99|Amazon|No cable included.

----------

Safety issues

These don't damage the Switch, but they can damage other USB-C cables and devices, especially if you plug them in to something that doesn't make sense, like another charger. If you know how to use them right and you're careful, you won't damage anything, but why risk it? Get something else.

Great but expensive

If you have a USB-C laptop, feel free to get one of these, but otherwise don't bother. Plenty of chargers in my OP work just as well with Switch and are much cheaper.

Unconfirmed speeds (and expensive)

These chargers are also too expensive to recommend. They probably work great, but I haven't seen any reports of people actually trying any of them. They all probably work with the dock too. If anybody has one of these, please tell me if it works with the dock.

Get a normal carry on bag. Buy a portable charger that you can use wherever you want. The end.

Everyday you have to do tasks, whether it be making food, writing code, or going to your girlfriends house. Every task could be made more automated someway or another, it's just a matter of finding a way to make it more automated in a way that's cheap enough that people will buy it, but still has enough profit margins.

A tshirt isn't going to make a task easier.

This Bluetooth button however will make the task of changing songs while driving easier, and they figured out how to sell it for $30 and make a profit

If you've ever thought "Dang, I wish this was easier", there probably is a way to make it easier and people out there are willing to pay to make it easier.

Just my $0.02

Aukey is a trustworthy brand, similar to Anker. I use their chargers and their 10000 mah aluminum QC2.0 battery (though obviously it doesn't do QC2.0 on the 6P). I'm waiting for a discount on this (below), since my philosophy is that if you're charging your phone with an external battery, chances are your battery is low. Which means you need a quick charge.

http://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-RAVPower-20100mAh-Portable-External/dp/B0156HCJQO/ref=sr_1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1458050228&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=ravpower+usb-c&psc=1

$50 is more than enough for a wireless charger; it shouldn't cost that much.

I like this one. It's from Anker so it's quality, and it is wireless fast charge capable. When Apple updates the X to support fast charging, you are covered:

There is also a cheaper version without the fast charging:

I recommend this one from Anker. I ordered 3 before my 8 arrived and I've been loving it.

Have you seen this? I'm thinking about getting one.

It can charge a phone like 4 times! So handy. There are smallwr lighter models too

Normally I would recommend IntelliArmor, but the flat TGSP was delayed and early reports are that the curved glass one is garbage.

In the meantime, I like Pure Gear. I have never seen anyone else on this sub mention it.

It is not particularly better quality than any other similarly priced screen protector, but it is the only one I have seen which includes an installation tray. As long as all decent TGSPs have colored bezels, I feel like the installation tray is a big deal.

Additionally, Pure Gear is the only brand I have seen which will pay to fix your actual screen if the screen protector fails to protect.

Edit: Proof they will pay to fix your screen — Front of box. Pure Pledge insert.

If you do not want to spend more than $20, amFilm is pretty much your only option. The quality is not significantly lower than the Pure Gear one, but no installation tray.

Most of the low review scores for the amFilm are from bad adhesive on the first batch, but this was corrected. The rest are usually from edge sensitivity issues, but that turned out to be a software problem and will be fixed soon. These guys actually have good customer service and sent me a free replacement when they updated the adhesive, but I have not applied it due to having already put the Pure Gear on. For the record, I had no problems even with the original adhesive. I just broke the protector (which was completely my fault, not the protector's).

So far the mophie or the Belkin wireless charger is certified or recommended (thus, the higher pricing?) .

But the other Qi wireless charger are so far so good.

This is the one I’m using and it’s great so far.

I received my (regular) Pixel 4 last Friday and I really couldn't be happier with it.

I was a bit scared due to all the backlash it had received, especially regarding battery life... but it seems like the trend continues and smartphone reviews are growing increasingly pointless for me every year.

I was coming from a Galaxy S8 with a 3000 mAh battery, which was (rightly) praised due to its good battery life, and which didn't seem to degrade much over the course of these two years, just like Samsung claimed. And to be clear, the S8 didn't give me a single problem and I was happy with it. I upgraded mostly because I wanted to give the S8 to my dad and because I really wanted to go back to a phone with the best camera for still pictures.

Well, I don't know how well the battery on the Pixel 4 will hold up long-term... but to my surprise, right now it's lasting a bit longer than the S8 did.

Everything else is just amazing. I didn't know that an Android phone could actually feel this smooth. The 90 Hz mode feels like eye bleach to me when it kicks in... it makes using my phone so much more pleasing and relaxing. The S8 worked well and didn't lag, but the Pixel 4 is on a whole different level here. It's obviously one of those things that you can't understand until you try it for yourself, especially since most reviews aren't recorded at 90 fps and most of us don't watch them on 90 Hz screens.

Also, the general UI is so clean and tidy. I actually liked Samsung's One UI, but Google's software just feels a lot more elegant and professional. I definitely prefer it.

Then there's Android 10 gesture system, which works a lot better than I expected. When you swipe the bottom of the screen laterally to jump to the last app, there isn't a single stutter even though the whole app is shifting away and being replaced by another one. And at 90 Hz, it just feels like you're moving physical cards around as they follow your finger.

Always-On Display also looks better to me than Samsung's. It's a lot more subtle and cohesive with the lockscreen and the overall phone UI. Oh, and the "Now Playing" feature is so damn nice to have.

Face unlock has been lightning fast and super reliable as reviews rightly claimed, I just hope my bank upgrades to the new APIs soon.

Soli has been useful when I reach for my phone or want to snooze alarms. I haven't really needed to use the feature to skip songs, but when I tested it briefly, it seemed to work every single time as well. I can see it being very useful when driving my car using my phone as GPS, mounted vertically using one of these magnetic mounts.

Best part is, I haven't yet tested the camera properly... even though it was the main reason why I got this phone! I've been so impressed with everything else that I haven't really felt the need to go out and test the camera itself. I think I'll just let it take me by surprise whenever I need to use it.

I could continue listing good things about the phone, but you get the point. I don't know if casual users will feel the same as me about the Pixel 4, but I don't really feel like reviews are painting a realistic image of this phone. It's, by far, the best phone I've ever owned.

To mention a negative:

As we all knew, the peak brightness of the display doesn't seem to go as high as Samsung's, which is OK now but will probably be a bit of a bummer in the summer when I try using my phone in the beach or with sunglasses. Not a dealbreaker for me as I hardly get 1 or 2 weeks of beach time per year... but I can see that being a no-go for people who live by the coast.

TL; DR: Don't pay much attention to smartphone reviews except for very objetive measurements (e.g.: Anandtech's articles). Just try them for yourself and make your own choices based on your personal experience.

I think this is a great idea and it made me think of something I use for my motorcycle.

It's very similar and available for around 30 bucks. I have it attached to the handle bar. (or steering wheel) Works with no problem.

Just get a pocket wifi. My wife and I had one for 11 days when we were there and even forgot to drop it in the mail before security. Had to express post it back afterwards but they didn't even charge us any fees.

We were able to use both phones, a tablet in the evenings and use the wireless to transfer photos from our camera to our phones seamlessly. If I remember correctly it only cost us 70$ CAD. We used Japan-wireless and Softbank.

Coverage and speeds were excellent. I could even stream Plex from my home server in Canada to our tablet at bedtime. TV there SUCKS.

The only viable counter is having another device to charge but keeping a pocket wifi charged is way simpler than dealing with 2-3 plans for T-Mobile and/or SIM swapping.

Get an Anker 5 port charging brick. It was invaluable for our trip.

I mostly use the Apple Pencil with Notability or LiquidText. I use Goodnotes a little. Some of my professors use Google Drive, so I need to use those apps from time to time. I also like Outlook for email, iBooks and Kindle Reader for different texts. Duet Display turns my iPad into a secondary screen for my MacBook Pro. I use Scanner Pro to turn all my syllabi and other handouts into PDFs. iStudiez Pro helps keep my schedule in order, and Quizlet helps me study. I use Affinity Photo for processing my Nikon RAW files ( I let my Adobe CC subscription lapse, I just don't find myself using my dSLR that much lately.) I also use a MIDI keyboard with Garage Band and Pro Metronome for piano practice when I don't have access to a real piano/piano lab/practice room.

I keep games and other entertainment apps off the iPad since I'm trying to study and don't want to make it any easier for me to goof off.

Case, Screen Protector, Apple Pencil sleeve, tether to keep my adapter on my cable, stand, keyboard, and holder for using my iPad as a second screen for my MacBook Pro. I also use Anker cables, charger port, and portable charger.

I've been happy with the Ravpower one. It works with my Switch and rapid charges the Pixel 2 XL no problem. Takes a little while to charge, but they're all like that.

My house, as of yet, has not burned down.

I’ve bought 5 of these flat Anker ones, you have to put the middle of the phone on the pad, but I find that I never mis-position it. Got 3 at home, 1 at work and 1 at my fiancé’s work:

Never had an issue, been going strong for about 5 months.

There are lots of dashcams now with parking mode by motion detection, they are not all very good at it though. One of the best I think is the Blackvue DR 3500 FHD dashcam. This is a tubular shaped, all black dashcam that makes for a very stealth installation so that there is little danger of it being noticed and perhaps stolen. This dashcam is recommended by the North American distributor of Blackvue and other quality dashcams as the very best for its motion detection function, and it is affordable.

The dashcam records in high definition 1080P resolution and will take an extended video storage card up to 126GB which means that it will hold over 40hrs of video before starting to loop and record over itself.

This dashcam will serve you well as far as reliability, video quality and dependability, however, you must be aware that there are limitations with any dashcam as to what they can see, since they are in a fixed position in your car.

The next thing you have to consider is how you are going to 'power it up' for a couple of days at a time, it certainly cannot run off your car battery for that long. There are several battery packs that are available but they must be hardwired to your fuse panel, and even then, they depend on you running the car for a period of time. Are you saying that your car is going to sit in the parking lot without moving for a couple of days?

If you don't want to hardwire the dashcam you could use a palm-sized portable power bank which should be good for a couple of days before needing to be recharged.

Here are some links to battery packs, power banks and hardwire kits.

Anker PowerCore Speed 20000mAh Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 & PowerIQ Portable Charger, with Quick Charge Recharging


https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N0X3NL5/

A bunch on Amazon from trusted brands. I posted the largest Anker one with QC3 I saw with a quick glance.

I'm firmly on the side of yes, totally worth it (Vive Pro + wireless).

You do need a beefy CPU to handle it without any issues though -- what do you have? I have a 8700k@5ghz and have had zero issues with it in every game so far (including a heavily modified skyrimVR, and lightly modded Fallout 4 VR). Appearance and performance vs. wired has been the same for me.

The only other consideration is the stock battery only lasts about 1.5 hours. You can buy 3rd party, higher capacity batteries that last way longer. I use this one which lasts about 4 hours. It also fits the little belt clip that comes with the stock battery. You can use any battery like that just so long it is QC 3.0.

Even if you have a small play space, being able to move, turn and twist without the cable being in the way is just amazing. It seems like a small benefit, but it really drives immersion even further.

I've looked it up in the past, I'll do it again. I'm 99% certain these two powerbanks are identical. The extra 100mah seems to be irrelevant, and just part of the naming more than anything else.

Anker PowerCore Speed 20000

Anker PowerCore 20100 Switch Edition

Note: I provided Amazon links for uniformity's sake. Right now, the Amazon price on the Switch edition is very expensive, at $150. I think it's usually $90-$100 at the brick and mortars (Best Buy, Target, etc..)

The non-sale prices are typically very similar (barring Amazon's really high price on the Switch-branded one), with the main difference is that the unbranded one includes a PD USB-C AC Adapter, which is very handy if you don't have an extra one. The Switch's AC adapter works beautifully, but depending on your setup, it may not be convenient to be taking that around (e.g. for me, I have mine more or less permanently plugged into my dock--it's a pain to move it around frequently). Charging these banks with a USB-A to USB-C cable and a standard USB3 port (even a power-boosted one) takes a very long time. Charging via a proper USB-C to USB-C cable and a sufficiently juicy PD-capable AC adapter speeds up charging dramatically.

(edit: reorganized my paragraphs for better flow; added sentence about the Switch's AC adapter)

If you want one that works with your case:

Ideally the Griffin TGSP or the intelliArmor HD TGSP, but both are sold out right now. They're well cut out, have adhesive all over the screen protector, seemingly high quality, and work well with cases.

The amFilm TGSP is what I went with temporarily. The updated adhesive one sticks just fine, and it doesn't collide with the case at all while still covering the screen.
Provides solid enough protection, and it's not really noticeable that there is adhesive only on the edges. The dot matrix on it does suck, but isn't that noticeable while looking at the phone straight on.

A lot of others I've read are poorly cut out, have poor adhesive, or/and are very difficult to put on. Not problems with the amFilm at least, though I'd still prefer full screen adhesive & no dot matrix.

3D TGSPs are good if you don't expect to use them with a case. They do cover the edges of the screen better, though I don't feel unprotected in any way with a flat TGSP & a case. If you try to use a 3D TGSP with a case, the case edges might apply pressure to the edges of the 3D TGSP, making the screen protector come off or break prematurely.

For anyone curious about liquid screen protectors: they are fine for scratches, but unlike the TGSPs, they won't absorb impact as well in the case of a fall. This makes the screen more susceptible to cracking than if you were using a TGSP, so stick to those IMO.

I use it as a backup GPS. You can pair it with various devices and helmet bluetooth gizmos, to make and take calls, etc. I don't mess with any of that, some folks do and like it. For music I use standard earplugs and an old-school iPod Classic, Babydriver style.

I tend to use devices like these to bulk power a cluster of Pis. Probably much easier (and quieter/cooler/more energy efficient) than adapting a PC power supply.

I have 5 Raspberry Pi 3s doing Docker cluster work with one of these connected to a UPS. Anker also do a 5 pack of short micro USB cables super cheap you can use to keep the cabling tidy.

Got a magnetic car mount and the quartz microfiber case. Loving both.

The EasyAcc or Anker battery packs would be much better. The 20K models can charge a smart phone like 6 times (charges my Galaxy S5 ~7 times), weigh less than a pound for 20K and below, have a built in flashlight, can charge like 4 devices at once, and you don't have to worry about replacing AA batteries, or have cheap cables / connections wrapped around elastic bands haha. And they take the same A/C power as your cell phone, so only need one charger for both.

And they cost like $30 - $40 for the 20K models. (example) Probably cheaper in the long run than stocking up (or replacing) rechargeables. Seems like a no brainer to me. OPs idea is fun, but it's kind of pointless with better options available.

I bought three of these for a road trip with two of my sons and all their electronic distractions and have not been disappointed with them at all. I bought one of these for each of them and they charge up completely in less than 4-5 hours. We would drive for 6 hours a day, they would play on their kindles and the switch and charge them off these powerbanks. I'd charge them back up at the hotels at night and repeat the next day. They lasted surprisingly well for two weeks of hard use and are still working just fine.

This is what I have It caused me no issues over a year of use on both Pixel 1 and Nexus 5X.

I've since upgraded to a car that has Android auto so I only keep it as a backup charger if someone else needs to charge quickly. So I couldn't tell you about its performance with the Pixel 2, but it should be very similar if not identical to the Pixel 1 experience.

This one is the most consistent, and works as advertised.

Nekteck 5.4A USB C Car Charger with Integrated Built-in USB-C 3.1 Cord For Apple MacBook 12 inch, Nokia N1, Nexus 5X 6P, OnePlus 2 and More, Black


https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0172QQNBY/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_lojzwbBGTEWA8



Have done hours of testing now.

Max amps recorded to a 6P has been 2880mAh. So far this has been the best of the chargers I've tested for the Type-C phones.

I'm was originally concerned with its output consistency, but it does charge at rates comparable to the stock charger and throttles appropriately.

The cable itself is very thin compared to the official cable, but doesn't feel poorly made.

The device itself is very nice, with chamfered edges, and a chrome bevel. There is a tiny white LED as well. It's not annoying.

This definitely beats out the "red chargers", even the Vinsic that Benson reviewed. I have tested that one as well and it cannot handle two devices, nor can it match this chargers consistency.

Might I consider a Qi charging station that lifts the phone to a standing position?

If I sat my phone like that on my desk, my face should be in pretty perfect view. I wouldn't mind buying 3 of these for the bedroom, computer desk, and office desk.

This one should charge as fast as your wall charger when using the USB-C port.

I just ordered it, expecting it tomorrow, but this one appears perfect.

The 1st Quick Charge + USB-C Portable Charger in The World - RAVPower 20100mAh External Battery Pack Power Bank

You can charge it with USB-C, use the USB-C for 5V/3A charging, has QC 2.0 if needed, other ports, large capacity. Also has great reviews.

This is my go-to; I have 3 of them (one in my office, one by my bed, and one for travel). It works great and it's pretty cheap.

Use this with this

I've been using the Kenu Airframe for years without issue.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kenu-Airframe-Portable-Car-Mount-Black/dp/B00D901B4W/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1418129970&sr=8-4&keywords=phone+car+mount

I've used this one for a few years now (from 4 to 5S to 6). Love it's simplicity. The 6 pushes it to its widest so any bigger and I'd have to get a replacement.

I use this one and its perfect. I don't even want an infotainment screen, just this.

This smaller Anker one lasts me just as long as the one HTC shipped with the adapter; around 2.5 hours of continuous use.

This larger Anker one lasts me well over 4 hours. I haven't actually had it die on me yet; my longest playsession since getting the adapter has been around 4 and a half hours. It is decently bulky but it does fit into the included battery clip that the adapter comes with. It's just too large length wise so it will stick out the top of the clip. I wouldn't worry about it falling out of the clip though since it is a snug fit.

Also, this wall charger with QC 3.0 ports works with powering the wireless adapter. I've used it for when I'm doing sim stuff in the corner of my room. Having to plug in the wired Vive Pro cables for sim use is a real hassle so I just keep the wireless adapter on and plug the adapter into the wall charger. Works flawlessly.

All the cables I previously mentioned as well as the following chargers (except the Anker 26800 battery) are USB-IF certified.
This charger from Monoprice has 5 ports - 1 Type C, 3 Type A. The 3 Type A ports have a total maximum output of 5V 2.4A, or 12W. Each individual Type A port is also capable of that 12W, given you have nothing plugged into the rest of them. The Type C port is capable of 5, 9, 12, 15, 20V charging, all at 3A.

This charger from Monoprice has 2 ports - 1 Type C, 1 Type A. The Type A has an output of 5V 2.4A, or 12W. The Type C is capable of 5V and 9V at 3A, or 15V charging at 2.6A. I do not think it is capable of 12V charging, 12V is just not listed on the MP website nor on the charger itself.

This (last) charger from Monoprice is a car charger and has 2 ports - 1 Type C, 1 Type A. The Type A has an output of 5V 1A, or 5W. The Type C is capable of 5V and 9V charging at 3A, or 12V charging at 2.25A.

This battery from Anker has 1 Type C and 1 Type A. The Type C acts as both an input and output for the battery. The Type C, as an input, is capable of 5V 3A (15W), 9V 3A (27W), 15V 2A (30W), and 20V 1.5A (30W). As an output, it is capable of 5V 3A (15W), 9V 2.67A (24W), and 15V 1.6A (24W). The Type A is 5V 2A, or 10W. It comes with a 30W wall charger as well as a C-C (Type C to Type C) cable as well as a Type A to Micro B cable. The output capabilities of the charger are not listed, so I will assume they are the same as the input of the battery's Type C port. The C-C cable is definitely only 3A capable, as the battery cannot output anything higher than that, and most likely only USB 2.0 capable.

This battery from Anker is a bit special. It is not expressly USB-IF certified but may fall under the clause that if two products (from the same manufacturer) are near identical then only one needs to be certified. I do not think it does, as it features an extra Type A port and has over 30% more capacity than the other one, but I'm going to list it here anyway. This one has 1 Type C, again as an input and output, and 2 Type A ports. The Type A's are each 5V 3A (15W). The Type C port is 5V 3A, 9V 3A, 15V 2A, and 20V 1.25A capable as an output. As an input it's the same across the board, except it can charge at 1.5A at 20V. Comes with the same cables and charger as the other Anker battery.

This Nekteck charger has a captive 6ft Type C cable, and is capable of 5V 3A, 9V 3A, 15V/3A, 20V/2.25A charging.

This Nekteck charger has just 1 Type C port, and is capable of 5V 3A, 9V 3A, 12V 3A, 15V 3A, 20V 3.25A charging. To get that 20V 3.25A charging you MUST use a 5A capable cable, a 3A capable cable will clip it to 20V 3A. This charger comes with a 6ft C-C cable that is capable of 5A charging, but is probably USB 2.0.

This Nekteck car charger is the same as the Monoprice one I listed above, except this only outputs 5V 3A and 9V 3A, no 12V charging on this one. The Type A port is the same as the MP.

How is the Zagg protector? I currently have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075WW69PS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it is terrible.

I designed this holder for an induction charging pad. This interfaces with the flip over cover in the center console. I wanted this so that I could have the convenience of not plugging it in. Here's more pictures of it in place in the car (http://imgur.com/a/PdHKv)



This is the charger unit I used (due to its short profile).

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KJL4XNY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought the Seneo charger. I’m hoping to get a flat one for my nightstand but I’m liking this one so far.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0IL0QX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_ILOedZnJtemTl

I have the Seneo wireless fast charging stand from Amazon... It supports fast charging with a fast charging plug... It only comes with stand and fast charging cord... No plug... Works wonderful with my S7 edge... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0IL0QX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Z6ZozbWCG2KNG)

Whatever charger you get, make sure it's at least 7.5W in order to fast charge your iPhone. Also, a quick charge power adapter that's at least 15W.

Here's what I highly recommended:

AUKEY Quick Charge 3.0 18W https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018RR30TK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_u9dACbDBTVQJ1

Absolutely, I've been using the same series of chargers that I used with my S8 and wirelessly fast charged my S8. Before the most recent G7 update (opr1.170623.032) it did not wirelessly fast charge. It does now!

Not the cable. The charger itself such as for Samsung phones or other quick chargers. Whatever is supplying the power is what can fry it. If your using any cable with your ps4 your fine. This is an example of a charger that you could use with your cable and fry the controller. https://www.amazon.ca/Charge-Anker-Charger-Compatible-PowerPort/dp/B016LO4UTA

You're not going to find anything nearly as good as the official charger for the price. You can maybe find a USB C charger for $20-$25 that may or may not be strong enough to charge the Switch while playing.

As you say, you don't want to fry your Switch for using the wrong item, but you are risking doing so to save literally $5. Spend the $30, you won't regret it.


Also, I'm pretty sure the charger you linked won't work very well as you need one that is USB C to USB C. That one is USB A to USB C. It will charge, but will take forever and still lose battery if you try to play while plugged in. Here is an example of a C to C charger, and it is on sale for $23, but by the time you buy a C to C cord it will be about the same price:

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Type-C-Charger-PowerPort/dp/B01CJ90J6O/ref=sr_1_8?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1497883166&sr=1-8&keywords=usb+c+charger

I've used one of these for years and it's worked great. It's simple, doesn't take up much space, I don't need to fumble around clipping it like a traditional mount.

Edit: typo

>A wireless pad I'd have to find the exact spot, and precisely position it. And then make sure I can't bump it off. And I can't use it while it's charging either.

Look into an inexpensive dual-coil standing charger. It automatically places the phone in the proper spot.

Finally something I can help with, lol.

I bought through Motorola and received the phone about a week later.

Nowinstock was useful for tracking when it was in stock at either Motorola or Google Play. I checked one day and grabbed it up.

Once you get the phone you'll need a cutter like this to trim your micro-sim from your S4 (same phone I had) to fit in the N6. I decided to go this route rather than get a nano from Verizon for a couple reasons.

• If I screwed it up and it didn't cut right or it broke I'd have to go to Verizon anyway and deal with their customer service. $7 was worth the shot to me.
  
• The Verizon store near here is famously bad at anything approaching customer service.
  
• I hate Verizon but I love unlimited data so I'm stuck with them.
  
  I just checked my VZW account. It displays the following message:
  
  > Your SIM card is loaded on a device not recognized by Verizon Wireless. Some services & features may not perform as expected.
  
  I will say that I do not have any issues with VZW and my N6 other than the VoLTE thing I mentioned above. I'm expecting that once VZW releases their version or Google releases Android 5.1 I'll get the VoLTE and be good to go. Truthfully, I think I've wanted to use data while on a call once or twice since getting the phone so it's not been a big deal at all for me.
  
  All your VZW APN information is loaded from your SIM card anyway so LTE, 3G, 1x, everything works out of the box.
  
  One thing that bugs me about most Verizon devices is how locked down they are. I've had a Galaxy S, Galaxy Nexus, and an S4. Aside from the Galaxy Nexus everything has been a pain in the ass to customize. I don't know if you're into that sort of thing but I hate being locked down by a carrier. With the N6 I had an unlocked bootloader and a custom ROM on with no trouble at all.
  
  For longevity, I highly recommend the 64GB version. Since it doesn't have an SD slot you might be hurting for storage by the time another phone comes out that you want. That's not a huge issue for me either since I do not store many things on my phone. Music is streamed, photos are uploaded, and texts are of statistically insignificant size, even on 32GB.
  
  Any more questions, feel free to ask. I love talking about and working with this stuff.

They make them, but not for big phones. Been looking for one. Probably going to go with a windshield one again, I used an older version when I had a Note and it worked great. Still use it with my 6+ and just plug the phone in to charge.


iOttie Easy One Touch Wireless Qi Standard Car Mount Charger for for iPhone X, 8/8 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S8, S7/S7 Edge, Note 8 5 & Qi Enabled Devices https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UXS7958/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_RROVzbFF4GN2F

I use a magnetic mount like this. Owing to the metal build of the phone, it stays put without even using the included plates, even with a case on (same as yours).
So easy to set and remove when getting in and out of the car.

I took this stand and filed out a slot large enough to fit the angled part of this cable to the left of the hole for the Apple Watch charger and used a magnetic car dock to keep my charger from moving around and allows me to easily switch between my G Watch R charger and my Urbane charger.

I'll post more pictures after I get home from work.

Be prepared for very cold temperatures. Even if the weather doesn't look like it's going to be bad.

A blanket in case the sleeping bag isn't enough.

Sun glasses and sun screen. It may only get into the high 60's but you'll be in the sun all day.

Headphones to use with your phone to listen to the race broadcast via the internet/ Tune In app.

Look into getting something like this to recharge your phone so you're not searching for an outlet.

A cooler for food and beer, but mostly beer.

I use a 30000mha power extender for a phone. The I would guess the pi would run on that for at least 8 hours with your configuration. Here's something similar:

Doing a few re-designs for other larger battery banks and such for fit and ease of use.

It looks a lot bigger then it actually is in the picture.

If you've got wireless charging, the iOttie Qi One Touch mount is fantastic.

Right. Got a bit carried away there.

I always bring a battery case and a couple portable batteries. These are what I have:

I love the battery case for festivals:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KL0A3KA?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This one is small enough to carry around all day: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYX73Q3?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

And this is a bigger battery I leave at camp:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01422TC14?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I use this one and it's great. Fits in the wireless unit's battery clip, just sticks out, so I put a rubber band to hold it in.

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20000mAh-Qualcomm-Recharging/dp/B01N0X3NL5

This one works no problem, fits in the belt clip caddy(sticks up further, of course): and you get like 5+ hours:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0X3NL5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Absolutely worth any hit to battery life, albeit small.

The maximum I can get is 11 hours running 1 chrome tab at medium brightness. When pushing the computer, I average around 9 hours while developing.

I've also picked up one of these:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075SSHGJL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Which really gives me flexibility while on the go. Alternatively, Anker sells a competing unit (although it provides only 30w charging):

I'd personally recommend this one:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B075WW69PS/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My wife and I are both currently using the "updated adhesive" model, and it's already saved my wife's screen twice.

• Dot matrix is only noticeable with the screen off, or in bright daylight when viewed at a particular angle.

• There's a tiny "rainbow" effect, once again only noticeable with the screen off, or in bright daylight when viewed at a particular angle.

• The "3D" curve doesn't quite cover the entire glass front, but it does absolutely well enough that you'll forget it's there after a short time.

Just my take on the matter. Personally, I'll take the few, small trade-offs over a broken or scratched screen any day.

I'd trust it, but for a few bucks more I'd go with nearly double the size: https://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-RAVPower-20100mAh-Portable-External/dp/B0156HCJQO/

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nekteck-Charger-Adapter-Integrated-Macbook/dp/B0172QQNBY (it's on Amazon US as well). Charges rapidly and looks pretty good :). Has a type c cable built in which clicks in well and doesn't fall out. I have my dash cam plugged into the standard usb slot and it will power that and charge the phone at the same time (I use Google maps for navigation).

I use this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0172QQNBY/ref=mp_s_a_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1496841530&sr=8-14&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=nekteck

It is Benson Leung approved. And it works great very fast charging!

I bought this one the other day, and it has quick charging and a USB C and normal USB port. Works super well:

I tour a lot and I plan my routes well in advance. I use a program called TyreToTravel (google it) and create .gpx files and download them to my GPS, which does 'multipoint navigation', i.e it will follow a specific route, not just straightest/quickest between X and Y.

Also, I cut out atlas maps of states I will travel to and laminate them to fit in the map pouch of my tank bag. I face them front to back so both sides have info on them, if that makes sense. Phone as GPS is meh, better than nothing.

I also recommend having a cell phone battery charger, very handy. Can charge a cell phone 5x on a one charge of it.

Haha you would think right! I had only 2 fans last year. It was June and it was hot as balls... for everyone else! I was a solid 30 degrees cooler in my own hoodie than anyone else around me. I kept them on at full blast at 1300 rpms(both fans were daisy chained) powered of a 2200 mAh battery pack also I had a small water reservoir in my camelbak that i can pump from my pocket to mist my back.

I had to leave the battery charging till the last minute though to make sure i had enough charge to last from dusk to dawn. This year I'm bringing two and rotating them out every other day.

it get a bit warm but acceptable.

I do not have these issues with my wireless charging. I bought a Chinese charging stand off Amazon for $19 and it works perfect. I don't have to move it around to get it to start charging. I can use it in portrait or landscape mode. It doesn't get hot either.

I've had it since I had the S7. I'll admit that I rarely have to use it with the S8 Plus. I take it off my charger at home at 8am and by 6pm I'm still at 70%. I only have to use it if I spend a lot of time in the basement here at work where I don't get a strong cell signal and that drains the battery super quick, even with wifi calling.

Hi there! here are some suggestions for power banks that satisfy any needs you can have for the purpose of charging the pixel line and like devices

I highly recommend these ones because I have had experience using these and feel they check all my boxes. That is, they support USB Power Delivery (PD) and Qualcomm Quickcharge (QC), and in effect rapidly charge all my devices that support fast charging:

[Jackery Power Bar] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076DXWPHS/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1)
This one is my favorite because it also has an AC outlet to charge most U.S. laptops. It is so freaking convenient for studying on my computer on the go.

Here are some that I have not owned, but after research seem to be worth recommending (of course, do your own analysis). I believe all three of these support USB PD and Qualcomm QC:

[Anker PowerCore] (https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20100mAh-Portable-Delivery/dp/B071WNWRNC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1520744694&sr=8-4&keywords=usb+pd+power+bank)

Here are some that I am skeptical about for different reasons, but they did catch my eye while researching:

[PURIDEA Power Bank] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0794V63VJ/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B0794V63VJ&pd_rd_wg=OQUVw&pd_rd_r=42A3W5CMQPF2VADS872F&pd_rd_w=NlRw8)

Let me know if you have any questions. Disclaimer: I am not associated with any of these products.

You neglected to mention the aukey 30000 mAh battery that has both USB c power delivery and a qc 3.0 port along with a standard USB port.

AUKEY USB-C Portable Charger 30000mAh with Power Delivery, Quick Charge 3.0, and AiPower Charging Ports for MacBook, iPad, iPhone, Android Phones, Speakers, and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071CQYBSN/

Great battery for the switch and all your other devices. Also cheaper then any other USB c power delivery battery I've seen and one of maybe two that has both power delivery and qc 3.0.

There is also the rav power USB c pd charger which is cheaper then the Anker I believe.

PD USB C Hubs Portable Charger RAVPower 20100 Power Bank 20100mAh 30W (Max.) Type C Port iSmart Data Transfer, USB C/Type C Output, External Battery Pack for MacBook, Laptops, Smartphones https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0156HCJQO/

But great post op will help tons of new switch owners I'm sure. And also as an owner of the pixel charger (due to having a pixel) it is hands down the best portable charger for the switch Imo.

Based on the spreadsheet I think this one might work https://www.amazon.com/product/dp/B0156HCJQO

RAVPower I believe is the only one with a 3A USB-C port: http://www.amazon.com/Portable-RAVPower-20100mAh-External-Technology/dp/B0156HCJQO

Ah wait! Wait wait wait. My bad, forgot where i was. Thought you meant for your pixel phone. Hmm, check this link out by Medium. They'll recommend a 10w-18w charger. Anker sells a variety, so you should be able to find something that'll help. Amazon sells some, but be sure to scan reviews. Here's one that would work but was identified as STILL being too big - link. In it they say:
> I'm going to have to buy a charger with 3/4 to 1 inch of height/depth for my Switch.

Some things to consider. Hope it helps.

Anker Powercore+ 26800 PD for when you have no place to plug your charger.

and a USB-C cable

I use the Nekteck 5.4A USB-C Car Charge(4019006) which I highly recommend. It's a Benson approved USB-C car charger and has a standard USB A port as well. Amusingly enough it seems to charge my phone faster than the stock Google pixel charger though this hasn't been tested.

I’m gonna be the unpopular person who says that you don’t have to pack light. Especially if you’re staying put in the same hotel etc. You’re most likely checking your suitcase in transit so who cares if it’s bigger or packed to capacity? I travel with larger bags (on wheels) all the time and I can honestly say that if my bag is a few inches bigger or a couple pounds heavier it makes zero difference. Just make sure you’re within the airlines guidelines.

SO. My point is, don’t put too much pressure on yourself to pack perfectly. If you can’t decide between a couple shirts, just bring both. You’ll be happier later when you have the choice. Check the weather for the time of year or dates you’re going and then look at your wardrobe. What would you be comfortable in? Pack those things. Look at your itinerary, what do you need to dress for? Pack those things. Stick to just a couple pairs of shoes. They take up the most space/are bulky. Good walking shoes are probably a must and then a pair to dress up a little with if you go somewhere nicer. If you can do laundry somewhere great, if not it’s ok to pack a few more pairs of underwear and shirts. Also consider packing some Shout Wipes in case you stain something you had hoped to rewear. Plan on wearing pants multiple times. For Scotland def pack some rain-appropriate things like a jacket etc.

Get some travel size toiletries and think about extras you might need. Yes you could buy Tylenol while there if you have a headache but then you have to go find it and depending on where you are it may be more expensive. It’s a small and light thing anyway so just pack some just in case. Think about other things like that.

Bring entertainment for the flight as well as snacks if you don’t want to pay for them onboard (airplane snacks can be pricey). Download books, movies, shows onto electronics ahead of time.

Lastly you might need power adapters depending on where you are coming from. Make sure you have a few so you can charge all of your tech. You might also consider getting a battery pack so you can charge on the go. Nothing worse than your entertainment dying mid-flight or your phone dying as you try to get an Uber. I love this one.

Just get a decently reviewed Wireless charger from Amazon like the one mentioned already. I've had a Seneo almost identical to that one and it's over 3 years old and still working fine.

https://www.amazon.com/Seneo-Wireless-Charger-Compatible-Qi-Enabled/dp/B01H76NIAS

There newer 7.5w versions. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Wireless-Charging-Provides-Fast-Charging/dp/B01KJL4XNY

This link is for illustrative purposes only, I am not recommending that particular product over any other.

I carry an Anker 5 Port Wall Charger when I travel so I can keep the devices charged, but any USB wall charger should work.

I'm loving it so far, I don't think I'm going to use it as a cardholder. I got a vent mount for someone as a gift. I think I'm going to get one for me and put the metal plate in there. I tried it out and it works awesome.

The case looks good, the buttons don't stick out and it's already survived a hard fall on the hardwood floor. I think I'm going to keep it. Love this phone and want to keep it pristine as long as I can.

Stay away from the case with the kickstand. The kickstand is flimsy as hell and will probably be lost within a week. Only cheap feeling product I've ever gotten from spigen.

I use the Spigen Kuel A200 magnetic mount on my phone in the car. Like the Note7 and S7 Edge I had before my Note 9, this mount is capable of supporting the phone in my car through 99% of my driving with the exception of extreme bumps WITHOUT any additional magnetic material added to the case or phone. There is enough force from the magnets to the magnetic material already in the phone to support it. The mount does come with magnetic stickers (well, I guess ferrous stickers) to improve the magnetic force, but I find them unnecessary. Also these stickers interfere with wireless charging which I use a lot.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0109JIQ0W/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

edit - I didn't go through lots of mounts or anything so I can't say if other magnetic mounts work well enough. This one worked on the first try back with my Note7 so I never had to try any others. Also, I use very thin TPU cases which will play a role. My case is: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FT86KVB/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Ordered mine today w/free same day shipping. I got the moster version so I can offer a charge to people I run into at the Lure Module parties.

I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01422TC14/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My S8+ and wife's S8 are fine. No issues at all and we're using cheap stands from amazon. Fast Charge working just fine.

My buddy's S8+ is fine on the Samsung fast charge pad.

EDIT: This is what we have:

The Anker 20000 QC 3.0 can run the wireless for about 5 hours and fits in the waistband holder (its taller but similar in width and thickness).

Just remember the middle port is the QC port, not the outside one.

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20000mAh-Qualcomm-Recharging/dp/B01N0X3NL5/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1539207714&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=anker+portable+charger+qc+3.0&dpPl=1&dpID=316xYYZKw1L&ref=plSrch


EDIT: The recharge time of the stock battery is about 6-7 hours; The recharge time of the one I linked is about 10-11 hours. You can maximize play time by burning through the 2.5hr one first, recharging it while using the larger battery, the 2.5hr battery should be almost fully charged by the time you burn through the bigger battery.

There’s another thread on here that says this one works fine:

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/anker-powercore-20000-mah-portable-charger-for-most-usb-enabled-devices-black/5948567.p?skuId=5948567

Should give 5 hours of usage

I just picked up this one: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20000mAh-Qualcomm-Recharging/dp/B01N0X3NL5 Supposed to get this and the wireless adapter tomorrow, I’ll post in the /r/vive if it works or not

Buy a portable charger That's my number one travel trip after being on the road for over two years now. You can Quick Charge 2 devices at a time at the airport (without hunting down an unused outlet), on the bus, during your flight, and while sitting down at a restaurant. Depending on the hotel I've even used this exclusively to charge my phone and it will last about a week between charges. I realize this model may be overkill for some, but it will charge your phone from 0%-100% up to six times.

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with this company and have no incentive for them to do well. I have also used RavPower chargers in the past, so use whatever brand meets your needs.

I personally love this one, but what u/recon455 said is 100% true. You won't need much. This is probably overkill, but it's up to you.

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20100mAh-Portable-Delivery/dp/B071WNWRNC

Car charger I highly recommend just getting an Android Auto head unit. Spendy, but so worth it. Best buy has one on sale for their deal of the day for $300.

For a power bank, I have this and travel a lot. $10 coupon on Amazon ATM: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B071WNWRNC/

It comes with a wall adapter, uses usb c port to charge, and has USB PD (fast charges both the bank and your Pixel).

Since it charges with usb c you only need 1 power adapter and cord when traveling to charge either your phone or battery bank.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075WW69PS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_QCoaAbRHMB704

I have that one and it covers the whole phone while also giving me the ability to use a case. It is reflective though but I got used to that quick.

I have an amFilm screen protector. I love it.

https://www.amazon.com/Protector-amFilm-Tempered-UPDATED-ADHESIVE/dp/B075WW69PS

I got a high rated one off Amazon for about 20$. Plenty of options on there if you look.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M0IL0QX/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have the one above. It fast charges through all my cases.

I'm 90% sure it was this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20000mAh-Qualcomm-Recharging/dp/B01N0X3NL5/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=QC3+battery&qid=1565640876&s=gateway&sr=8-5

It fits into the holder, but it juts out of it. lasts for about twice the length of the HTC battery.

I am an avid traveler, and I use this anker as it has Quick Charge 3.0 as well as another outlet for charging my actual camera. QC3.0 allows me to charge my phone from 20% to 80% in 30-40 mins usually since I am a heavy camera phone users also. I would go days without an outlet sometimes so this usually last me 3 days without a charge from an outlet, before it goes dead.

If it's QC3, it'll say so. I use this one and it works fine, even fits in the stock belt clip: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N0X3NL5/

While the adapters are pricey, they are totally worth it IMO. So I don't think you made a mistake here.

I have the wireless adapter as well and its how VR should be, un-tethered.

Regarding your 20K capacity battery, make sure it has a quick charge 3.0 port. It will only work if your adapter is plugged into that.

Here is the Anker battery bank I use (I get about 6 hours of play from it)

You could use the big bank while having the smaller one as a back up. Or go for two and when you swap, plug the other in to charge.

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-20000mAh-Qualcomm-Recharging/dp/B01N0X3NL5/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=Anker+Battery+Pack+Quick+Charge&qid=1571149687&sr=8-4

I got the wireless adapter day one and I'm still using the original battery and this Anker QC3 powerbank

I've got myself a tiny backpack. It's just big enough for the Anker 20000

Ok it's got a Teddy Bear embroidered on it, but I like to think it adds to the style.

So intel CPUs only have 16 pcie lanes. Make sure your bios is set to split the lanes 8/4/4. GPU gets 8, wifi card gets 4, and if you have any m.2 drive it gets the other 4. Sometimes it decides to round robin 16 lanes, which kills performance.

For the disconnects, replace the wireless battery and cable. This worked for me:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0X3NL5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P2L51SD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Also funny enough I have the exact same hardware you have except I'm using 3200Mhz RAM. The video encoding for the wireless adapter does consistently consume an entire CPU core, but Skyrim wasn't using it anyways so I haven't noticed much performance difference. I do notice that in some dark scenes I get jpg-like compression artifacts. On the other hand VRChat performance really shit the bed and I get constant compression artifacts in crowded instances.

I don’t typically recommend older models, but PowerCore Speed 20000 PD fits your needs well.

You can charge one device with a USB-C to Lightning Cable (or a USB-C to USB-C Cable depending on your iPad model) and another with a USB-A to Lightning Cable.

If you want the capability of charging all three devices simultaneously, then PowerCore+ 26800 PD is your best option.

Anker actually does have PD charging, and I would trust a name like Anker more than ZMI:

10,000 mAh ($45.99)

20,100 mAh ($99.99)

26,800 mAh ($129.99)

This one is 2100mAh and has the Nintendo protocols and branding. These two are the safest to use with your switch but not by a significant amount over other USB-C If complaint devices. Like this.

I've used Anker and RAVPower battery packs in the past and have been very satisfied. Mophie products tend to be expensive but are excellent quality and highly reliable.

With an iPhone X, I would recommend you look into a battery pack that has a USB-C port that supports USB-PD (aka 'Power Delivery', the fast charging technology that Apple uses for iPhones) and able to output at least 30W from that specific port and an USB-C to Lightning cable for the absolute fastest recharges while in the park.

Some USB-C Power Delivery recommendations:
RAVPower 26800 PD Portable Charger
Anker PowerCore Speed 20000 PD
Mophie Powerstation XXL

You might also want to look into battery packs with an AC outlet. That way, you can use a fast charging wall wart you already have and can use elsewhere for fast charging:
RAVPower AC Outlet Portable Charger
Mophie Powerstation AC

The one you linked doesn’t have the USB C PD or Power Delivery. It won’t charge the Switch at a high rate. In other words, when you’re playing a game the switch won’t be charging. It could be maintaining power, but it won’t go up power wise.

Now there isn’t a risk of buying the above. It’s a solid power bank but it’s not optimal.

There is a twin of the one linked in the deal that doesn’t have the branding and is sold for $30 or more less than the branded one. If you’re patient you can find it for $20-$35. I got a used one from eBay for under $20.

Here’s a link to the twin on amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071WNWRNC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_PTaQCbQNXDG2J

Can’t find the solo one that comes without the plug.

For this price, I would rather suggest that you wait for the Anker PowerCore Speed 20000 PD powerbank because it comes with a 30W wall charger and the powerbank itself supports the fast USB-C power delivery. Currently it sells at $79.99 but I got it at $49.99 in a lightning deal mid-February.

You can add this to your Amazon watch list or a Keepa account to be notified the next time it has a lightning deal:

Post was removed so here is the info if you need it:

Just thought I would let everyone know that apparently there is a problem right now with 3rd party docks and possibly portable batteries. According to Nintendo, they are investigating this issue and still trying to figure it out but 3rd party docks and portable batteries are causing the Nintendo switch to brick. Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

Here is a link to the exact battery.

Second. I'm very happy with mine.

Hey everyone. I just recently got the amFilm curved TGSP. So far I like it. It does have a dot matrix, but it's only visible if you look for it. I would never notice it otherwise. I have no touch sensitivity issues either. The TGSP works great with my Fabric case as well! It was super easy to apply. I do have a small rainbow effect, but I've been seeing that if you give it a day or two, it goes away, so I will update with that. I feel comfortable recommending this, especially for the price. Here's a link.

Edit: rainbow effect is already gone less than an hour in. If you hold your phone at an angle under light with this TGSP on, you can see the dot matrix but I'm not too bothered by it. This is more personal preference though so take it with a grain of salt!

I've been using this one from RavPower for the past five months. It went all over Thailand with me in March and April, it works great.

Yeah dude seems to be mistaken. Most people on the Apple side don't really have experience with fast chargers. I had a Nexus 6P and a Nintendo switch so I'm pretty well versed in all the different charging standards and how they work. I've got a battery bank from RAVPower that does USB-C PD that works exceptionally well for my X.

Unfortunately the only cable that really works well with USB-PD is the one sold by apple themselves so you're kinda stuck with that charge.

I've been looking for something similar (<400g, 30+ W PD, pass-through charging).

Haven't come across anything quite perfect, but so far I've found (in increasing price order):

• Omars PowerSurge 10000 mAh (10,000 mAh, 30W PD, 2x USB-A, 1x USB-C, 368g) - $30.60
  
• Quanhan Q1012PD (10,000 mAh, 30W PD, 2x USB-A, 1x USB-C, 1x Micro-USB, 225g; pass-through support unconfirmed; appears to lack 12V) - $32.99
  
• Nucharger 30W Power Deliver (20,100 mAh, 30W PD, 2x USB-A, 1x USB-C, 388g) - $34.99
  
• Urbo 20400 mAh Power Bank (20,400 mAh, 45/60W PD, 2x USB-A, 1x USB-C, 380g) - $34.99
  
• ElecJet PowerPie (20,000 mAh, 45W PD w/PPS, 1x USB-A, 1x USB-C, 385g) - $69.99-$20 pre-order = $49.99
  
• Zendure 45W A6PD (20,100 mAh, 45W PD, 1x USB-A, 1x USB-C, 1x Micro-USB, 371g) - $64.84
  
• RAVPower PD USB C Hubs 20100 (20,100 mAh, 30W PD, 2x USB-A, 1x USB-C, 1x Micro-USB, 391g) - $65.99
  
• J-Go Tech XCOREsion 15-45 (15,000 mAh, 45W PD, 2x USB-A, 1x USB-C, 354g) - $74.99
  
• Zendure X6 USB-C Hub (20,000 mAh, 45W PD, 4x USB-A, 1x USB-C, 386g) - $93.32
  
• Moshi IonSlim 10K (10,000 mAh, 30W PD, 1x USB-A, 1x USB-C, 312g; pass-through support unconfirmed) - $99.95
  
• Lenovo G0A3140CWW (14,000 mAh, 45W PD, 2x USB-A, 1x USB-C, 2x Lenovo plugs, 289g) - $99.99

This one works great for me. Can't tell the difference in time to charge versus AC. And you can charge it using quick charging as well.

Relatively happy with my RAVpower

http://amzn.com/B0156HCJQO Should suit you.

It can really vary not only on the charger but the quality of the USB cable.

I got a Shield K1 a few weeks ago. I ordered the following charger and USB cables:

• http://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Anker-PowerPort-Wireless-Charging/dp/B016LO4UTA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450372077&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=anker+quick+charge+3.0&psc=1
  
  
• http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Premium-Android-Samsung-Motorola/dp/B00N8W00DY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1450372162&sr=8-2&keywords=anker+USB+cable+3+pack
  
  I'm charging at around 2.4ish Amps when the tablet has the cover closed (i.e. screen off). Your charge rate will obviously be less if you're trying to charge while using the screen, wifi, under heavy load, etc... Don't have it with me to tell you exactly the charge time but I believe I go from almost dead to full charge in maybe 3 hours. EDIT - Not sure about that 3 hours. Actually might be faster. Haven't been paying too close attention to total time. In the GeForce thread below people seem to be saying just over an hour for full charge.
  
  The tablet does appear to support the Qualcomm Quick Charge standard so it benefits from this charger. Both the charger and the device have to support QuickCharge to reap the benefits.
  
  https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/815031/the-shield-does-somehow-support-quickcharge-2-0/
  
  It sucks that USB is supposed to be a standard and yet results vary so much. In theory you should be able to grab any cable and any charger of appropriate output and get standard results...but it's just not the case. With my N7 2012, using stock charger, I would get anywhere from 400mA up to 1.2ish A just depending on the USB cable I was using (wire gauge plays a big part apparently). And with add-on technologies / protocols like Qualcomm Quick Charge it just fragments the standardization of USB charging even more.

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B016LO4UTA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It says "Supreme Compatibility: Backwards-compatible with all versions of Qualcomm Quick Charge technology (1.0, 2.0 & 3.0). Also charges non–Quick Charge devices at up to 2.4A."

Hopefully safe.

think I'm going to grab this one - seems to be Benson approved.

https://www.amazon.com/charger-Nekteck-Charger-Adapter-Integrated/dp/B0172QQNBY/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1484920746&sr=1-1&keywords=nekteck+usb+c

Many usb-c car chargers have a usb-a port, so presumably you could use the c cable for the pixel and plug a lightening cable into the a port.

For example, https://www.amazon.com/charger-Nekteck-Charger-Adapter-Integrated/dp/B0172QQNBY

Lightening quick charge could be a problem with this.

From what I understand, it is indeed your port. https://www.howtogeek.com/309766/want-fast-charging-dont-use-your-cars-usb-ports/

A 12 volt socket to USB-A cable will charge your phone normally, and if you want to rapid charge, go with a 12 volt to USB-C cable like this. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0172QQNBY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_hkxhAbKVY1HF8

Hope that helps, I had the same problem coming from iPhone.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0172QQNBY/ is what I bought. It is a -1 on the list but it is also Benson's personal unit. I figure if he rocks it I should be good. There are no standout car chargers right now.

Thanks for the review and I really appreciate it.

I have a few suggestions.

Can you add a buy link / amazon link in your posts so people know where they can buy the chargers from?

Also.. Can you review this one too? https://www.amazon.com/PowerIQ-Anker-Charger-PowerPort-included/dp/B01CJ90J6O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468080497&sr=8-2&keywords=anker+usb+c+charger

This falls under "best"?

you'd get something like this or this to attach to your windshield or air vent (or this if you have a CD player you don't use), and then just slip the other magnet in between your phone and the case.

this monster is what I use. It’s ever so lovely

Do you already have lots of AA batteries?

Your best option is a "power bank" - something like this one, which is 22000mAh.

The more mAh, the longer the battery life. So this is more than 10x your iPhone pack capacity (which 1558mAh) so should be good to recharge your completely-flat phone 10x over. If your iPhone only hits 50% at the end of the day, then you should be good for 20+ recharges.

The powerbank itself is rechargeable, so as long as you find a charge point every 10 days or so, you'll have continuous phone power available.

Not 100% on these things, but close enough

I have this portable charger that has enough juice to keep both me and my girlfriend’s phones charged all weekend.

This one.

Scroll down a bit on the page for the promotional offers.

You get THIS and THIS for free with purchase.

Li-PO battery inside gives better longevity. Cheaper than the ankers and bigger. Registering the products at their website gives you 18 months no hassle warranty with a life time warranty. No problems with it so far, have only made 4 full discharge cycles on it. So far, I love them both.


edit:

This is what my checkout screen looked like.

/u/ddow13 down below has some instruction on how it works..pretty simple though

Just bought this one today.

I use this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G1XH46M/

I played Dark Souls 2 for like 4 hours on a flight with it, and my WIN was still at about 80%. Heavily intensive games do still drain power on the charger, but I still could have gotten a whole lot of time out of it.

Battery is perfect (though kinda big).

The WIN does get pretty hot when plugged in to the charger + gaming, but I didn't have any problems :)

I've used the RAVPower 22,000mAH Battery Bank since the game launched and it has been amazing. Lasts several days of use while charging one phone, and can charge from all three ports at fast charging speed.

Without that fast charge there is no way my phone would gain battery during play. With fast charge I can be raiding with full brightness and still gain battery.

I agree it’s annoying. Get something like this for the desk though and problem solved? This is what I’m planning to do anyways.

Or you could go for actual cheap wireless charging. I'm using this and have been really happy...

Add a charging pad and your good to go.

And for the car I'm using this mount:

In my car I didn't like the mount points so I added this ball mount

Not sure about that specific brand but my wife bought this one for me and it works fine even though its not an official Samsung

Wireless Charger, Anker PowerPort Wireless 10, Anker Qi-Certified Wireless Charging Pad

this one?

Get the 360 Camera. You can get 3rd party fast wireless chargers for around $20 USD and the 128GB MicroSD for about $50 USD. So you can make you're own bundle for about $70+tax.

The 360 Camera on the other hand retails for $175+tax.

So in the end, you get more value with the 360 camera than the wireless charger+MicroSD combo.

This one looks good

Yeah, this is the one I bought. There is another one I just saw on amazon when I was getting the link for the one i bought that has the x mount with the silicone holder along with the ball socket arm and a u bolt set up for mounting to the bars. Here is that set up

I have a Samsung s6 edge and the silicone part is pretty tight. I think any phone that is bigger might be too big to fit.

Edit: i screwed up the links, fixed now.

One of these + the appropriate base.

https://www.amazon.com/Cradle-Holder-Universal-X-Grip-Cellphone/dp/B0055PH0XA

I've never had a RAM mount fail on me, I've used them for phones, GPS and cameras.

I use a similar RAM mount:

Ram Mount Cradle Holder for Universal X-Grip Cellphone/iPhone with 1-Inch Ball - Non-Retail Packaging - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0055PH0XA/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_FPl8BbJKK7V0G

I have had it for about for a year now and it works well. Unlike the one you linked you are able to move it around but you do need additional mounting items. If you think you can mount it with zip ties and the angle is right I would go for it, if not I would check out the one I linked.

There are a few factors at work.

• Americans don't swap SIMs. This means that for fancy upmarket phones where a SIM will be a near-permanent fixture in the phone, the manufacturer wants it to take up as little volume as possible and doesn't care about user interface or usability.
  
  
• The larger size has no benefit. Again, until you get down to a size that is difficult for human fingers to manipulate, the volume of a SIM is mostly plastic and air, and that's space inside a phone that could be used for other stuff. ("Other stuff" is usually "more batteries".)
  
  
• Forced obsolescence. By changing form factors, the mobile phone manufacturers and vendors can force an upgrade cycle on you; since upgrades generally also result in new two-year contracts, this is a great way to keep you shackled to a vendor.
  
  The good news is you can get a regular SIM from your carrier and use a SIM cutter to reduce its size to Micro or possibly even Nano.

you can give this a go - i've used it with success: https://www.amazon.com/Aerb-Nano-Micro-Nano-Standard-Micro-Standard-Cellphones/dp/B009P16FKY

I'm not sure if he's messing with you but the contacts on SIM cards are the same

The rest of the size is the plastic backing. You cut SIM cards with scissors or a SIM card cutter.

If you go to a tech that knows how to Google they can find that removing the SIM is fairly simple.

So, why didn't you use the cutter?

http://www.amazon.com/Aerb-Cutter-Standard-iPhone-Adapters/dp/B009P16FKY/ref=pd_sim_pc_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0GP0T7NRM69C5NYF16AX

Would have prevented the hassle of making a post about this and also having to deal with Verizon. I removed the middle man directly and cut the card. Works flawlessly. Just read the customer reviews.

Only problem I have with a windshield mount is that it gets hot as fuck here. I've had my phone go into thermal shutdown in a windshield mount.

I'm using a clip that sits on my AC vent right now.

https://www.amazon.com/Kenu-Airframe-Mount-Smartphones-Phablets/dp/B00D901B4W

Kenu Airframe - Portable Smartphone Car Mount - Black by Kenu http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D901B4W/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_eTcxub061EW03

> Kenu airframe

20$ on amazon. Sounds like a very decent price.

I've used AIM data loggers and made my own arduino based accelerometer and GPS data acquisition systems; but lately I prefer the phone/tablet based GPS logging apps when paired with an external 10Hz+ GPS. IMO, the ability to easily review the data on the spot and provide immediate feedback and comparisons between runs far out weighs the bell and whistles of the more advanced systems that typically require plugging into a computer to review the data. Phone mounting is really not an issue if you get a good mount (I use a ram mount or [kenu airframe] (https://www.amazon.com/Kenu-Airframe-Universal-Accessories-Compatible/dp/B00D901B4W/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1501912932&sr=8-6&keywords=phone+vent+clip)).

I didn't like the high cost of Solostorm, so I prefer RaceChrono for it's simplicity, while some people like Harry's Laptimer. They will all give you speed, position, and accel from the GPS data. How they differ is in the user interface and presentation of the data. For overlaying data on video, I use [Dashware] (http://www.dashware.net/).

Regarding the actual data, I personally find the speed and position data more useful than just the long/lat accel data. Pro Tip: You'll gain a lot of insight by logging data of people faster than you.

I use this:
http://www.amazon.com/Kenu-Airframe-Portable-Smartphone-Phablets/dp/B00D901B4W

It's awesome.

The Kenu Airframe+ works fantastic. I got it for my wife and it's such a well built, simple and small item that holds the phone perfectly in portrait or landscape mode. They sell the original Kenu Airframe for a little bit cheaper, but it isn't as deep and it doesn't expand as much, so I can't say for sure if that one would work.. Seems like it would though.

I'm really happy with mine.

I use a bluetooth button (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Satechi%C2%AE-Bluetooth-Button-iPhone-Samsung/dp/B00RM75NL0/ref=sr_1_6?s=boost&srs=7212961031&ie=UTF8&qid=1462616907&sr=1-6&keywords=Bluetooth+Button) for that,
it's cheap and it works

While driving a motorcycle, the one thing that is probably more distracting than using a smartphone is lifting both hands, look at that itsy bitsy tini wini little screen and trying to hit anything useful with your fingers covered by motorcycle gloves.

You would need at least a smartwatch with enough proper buttons to do something useful with it. Pebbles are dying, the only other option that comes to my mind is perhaps a Samsung Gear S model, that rotating bezels should come in handy. (Might end deadly anyway.)

If you really just want to change tracks, there is another much cheaper and better solution: Get a bluetooth remote like this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RM75NL0 so you can easily fix it on your motorcycle. (Perhaps search for a water-resistant version or cover it so it doesn't get wet. Just search for "bluetooth remote" on Amazon or other sites.)

Three hardware solutions that I know of:

1. Flic smart button.
   
   (This links to your smartphone via BTLE.)
   
   More info [here.] (http://flic.io)
   
   
2. Satechi Bluetooth Button Series (Media Button.)
   
   (This also links to your smartphone via BTLE.)
   
   More info [here.] (http://www.satechi.net/index.php/satechi-bluetooth-button-series-media-button)
   
   
3. Lutron Pico Remote Control for Audio (requires Caseta Smart Bridge, which I already had installed, for my Lutron "smart" light switches.) More info here.
   

What phone do you have? It's not the exact solution you want, but with my old Samsung Note, I used this bluetooth adapter (with an additional 3.5mm extention attachment), and had it pretty much permanently plugged into both the AUX port and USB. Then I mounted this bluetooth controller next to my shifter.


With the Iphone X, it's as simple as plugging the lightning cable into the usb port and letting your car recognize it as an ipod

iOttie's qi mount is the good stuff. I use Waze for my 1hr commute to and from work, and it'll trickle charge enough that the battery drain is minimal.

http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-HLCRIO132-Wireless-Standard-Charger/dp/B00UXS7958?th=1&psc=1

I've been using this one lately but swapped out the holder for a CD-slot mount from another car dock. It's the smallest one on the market and works great. :)

https://www.amazon.com/SOJITEK-Wireless-Standard-Charger-Enabled/dp/B01D23M90A/

Previously I had this one which actually had a better one-handed removal mount but just wanted to switch to something a little more compact now that I'm using a CD-slot dock and don't want to cover as much of my vehicle's touchscreen. Both are great options however depending what you want.

https://www.amazon.com/iOttie-HLCRIO132-Wireless-Standard-Charger/dp/B00UXS7958/

IMO, GoPro is not a good choice for this. Cell phones are a better choice if you have a way to mount it or prop it up somewhere. A cell phone will capture amazing audio as long as you can get it close. If you can use more than one camera (cell phone if needed) at a time, stitching and editing the video together can be very useful. Put them in airplane mode to avoid accidental upload, pull the video off of them via USB cable, and delete original before turning off airplane mode. I highly recommend the camera and lens I have below, because they are so useful outside of the bedroom for family or activity stuff. Kind of pricey.

I use three devices at the same time: cell phone, video camera, and microphone. Here is a few links from a recent comment:

>Her view is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-GM5 running a Sigma 350963 60mm F2.8 DN mounted to a GFM MK-1 tripod behind the bed.

>His view, seen in the rest of the gifs (NSFW!), is on a microphone stand held in place by bags of rock salt inside custom bags, and the other end is adorned with a GPS bicycle mount, which uses the Gamin ball diameter that I've standardized on for over ten years. On the ball is a iOttie phone dock, and clipped in the mount is a Galaxy S7 International running in pro video mode.

You can see our home (sexy) tapes here (very NSFW), feel free to ask any questions. I use Adobe Premiere to edit them.

I've used this dock before and worked well: https://smile.amazon.com/iOttie-HLCRIO132-Wireless-Standard-Charger/dp/B00UXS7958

Edit: Found their newer version which is magnetic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm9LmmGoZ6M

So what exactly are you trying to accomplish? Wouldn't it be impractical?

I have also been wondering this. Currently on my note 3 I use the Spigen magnetic mount and enjoy not having to fight with a mount.

Now I have my note 8 I'm looking forward to using wireless and I know that the magnetic plate will interfere with the charge process. I came across this iOttie however it doesn't support fast charge and its £65 from amazon which is a lot more than I'd be willing to pay. I discovered they have this model coming soon, I think we are both looking for a similar solution. The only other thing that slightly annoys me is that they both use micro USB rather than type C.

I use Anker IQ 40W/8A 5-Port USB Quick Charger with this charging dock.

Note that this is for my Anker Powerbanks for my TPCast. My banks are Anker PowerCores 20100mAh and they last about 5 hours and take about 8-8.5 hours to fully charge back from dead. I have two batteries that I keep in the charging dock at all times, to ensure I never run out of power.

Anker is your friend.

it's not quite as simple as just pulling the +5 volts and Ground off of the 4 pin molex and connecting it to a micro USB to plug into the Pi.

You'll have to jumper a couple pins on the big 20-pin Motherboard connector in order to get the PSU to power up, etc.

Depending on how much you want to DIY and the budget, it would probably be easier to get one of the multi-USB charger / power supply deals like those from Anker that give you 30-40 Watts across 5+ USB ports on the one supply.

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charger-PowerPort-Multi-Port-Samsung/dp/B00VH8ZW02/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1481076935&sr=8-7&keywords=anker+charger

I have one of these on my desk:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VH8ZW02/

Which is quite similar to what you linked to, but a bit less powerful, 40W. (5v8A)

Yours is 60W (5v12A).

At all times, mine is powering a Pi3 running OwnCloud (which is powering a magnetic disk drive off its USB port). I also use it to charge my phone, power several other single board computers, charge batteries, etc. It works perfectly, and would even say that everyone who tinkers should have one of these. Works great!

I use one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00VH8ZW02/

I've had no issues when I've used it to charge.

At the moment I've got two charging cradles (for my extra batteries), LG Urbane charger and a iPad charging dock connected to it. No issues.

I would get some good quality cables if you've not already. I got an Aukey(another good brand) 5 pack from Amazon.

I don't have a pic, but there are several like mine.

3d printed Pi stack

3d printed Anker stack(compatible with above stack)

Tiny switch 5V

Anker USB power brick

Then just a handful of 1ft ethernet cables and 1ft USB cables. You can buy the USB to Barrel power cable for the switch, or if you are comfortable with a soldering iron, make one yourself.

There's also an air vent version.

http://smile.amazon.com/Spigen%C2%AE-Magnetic-Holder-Neodymium-Galaxy/dp/B0109JIQ0W

7 whole dollars.

https://www.amazon.com/Spigen%C2%AE-Magnetic-Holder-Neodymium-Galaxy/dp/B0109JIQ0W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465996095&sr=8-1

This is what I use. It has a magnet that clips onto an air vent and a steel plate that attaches to your phone to stick to the magnet. The plate is probably intended to go under a case but will fit under the normal backplate of the ZF2 if you don't use one. This might break NFC functionality if you care about that, haven't tried it. Has worked pretty well for me. There's a bigger version with a stronger magnet but it doesn't really seem necessary even for a big phone like this.

I bought a magnetic air vent clip that came with a magnetic back plate that I attached to the accessport. Here's the link. No problems holding the accessport and you can move it to the far left of the vent to where you still get some air.

Depending on where you'll be traveling (i.e., depending on the temperature), you could get a magnetic phone mount that clips to your vent. Then turn the AC on - the AC will blow right at the phone!

Doubly good, since it will (hopefully) put your phone in a convenient navigation location.

I have this one and it's been great; there are tons of others on Amazon pretty cheap.

One of those magnet/vent clip mounts for the car. Life changing to just be able to pop it on the vent with a low profile and no clip nonsense. Best part is they are dirt cheap. I have this one http://amzn.com/B0109JIQ0W

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy s4 mini. This phone will have issues with the "GPS location not found issue." I found the fix for this is to download another app known as: "GPS status & toolbox" run the "Gps status and toolbox" app before opening the "pokemon go" app. The game will now work. You will see pokemon. Note: The servers are currently being slammed. So the game is not really playable. But once the servers calm down. Your phone will be able to play it. I was playing early this morning with no problems. Then people woke up and slammed the servers. I hoped this helped! BTW: The battery drain of this app on our phone is killer. Expect 4 hours max before a dead battery. I recommend grabbing a EasyAcc Monster 20000mAh Power Bank right now. They are on sale for $32.99, which is a 90% discount from the original price of $122.99.

https://www.amazon.com/EasyAcc-20000mAh-Dual-Input-External-Portable/dp/B01422TC14/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1468010555&sr=8-12&keywords=backup+battery+charger

Both of the products that you mentioned look over-priced and over-specified.

If you limit yourself to 5V USB I recommend a 75 watt-hour battery ($37) for its dual inputs; it charges twice as fast as a normal battery. That should be sufficient to charge two cell phones, a small lamp ($4) and a fan ($17). You can charge the battery from a wall outlet, with a cigarette lighter USB adapter ($10), or with a small solar panel ($100).

You might prefer a Luci light ($15) to the lamp mentioned above; it charges itself from the sun and won't consume any of your battery capacity.

If you need 12 volts, I recommend a 185 watt-hour battery ($130), which will also charge a laptop computer. It recharges from a wall outlet, or you can use a 150 watt inverter ($24) from your cigarette lighter.

Personally if there was any doubt about a product that will power your entertainment device on a trip, I'd get a highly recommended portable battery bank instead. You have Aukey, Anker, Amazon Basics, or EasyAcc (my personal favorite, last two products from them still really good almost a year later).

I have the 10,000 mAh one, but this one looks better tbh. Has 20Ah and 4.8A output.

However if you don't wanna have a converter cable as well as a normal type-C on you, get this Anker one.

I gave up on relying onto built-in batteries - just get yourself a batter bank and there is no need to compromise on phone quality.

I use the following battery and solar panel for camping and it works pretty good!

This battery has dual usb charging ports so it can be recharged faster and it has a flashlight.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01422TC14/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use this solar charger with it. It can recharge 25-50% of the battery on a sunny day.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NGD61GU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you charge the battery up fully before your trip you should be able to recharge your camera, iPod, and paperwhite at least twice before it runs out.

When I am not camping I usually put the panel and battery in my windshield to charge during the day.

The arm is this -

As hugoender said, you can simply remove the rubber cover on either your clutch side or brake side handlebar and screw in the ram mount ball.

Yes its a 1" RAM ball and then the x grip phone mount on an arm. This was the location I mounted mine - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=730MzCb1qfA. He used a different ball mount that would probably work better in this application. I used a regular diamond base ball with two bolts and nuts/washers on the backside. I just had to hack/trim/grind out some plastic trim and molding on the back side to make it work (nothing critical).

My part list was:

I haven’t actually put this together, but the same ball mounts are on my dualsport abd they work well! This may be a pricy solution, but not having to permanently modify something and have the phone mount be modular for various phone types, I think is priceless.

http://www.amazon.com/RAM-Universal-X-Grip-Holder-1-Inch/dp/B0055PH0XA

A phone mount is worth the money and such an incredibly cheap option compared to only ten years ago when you needed a garmin. Invest in a good case like a life proof or otterbox and get an x grip phone mount by ram (https://www.amazon.com/Cradle-Holder-Universal-X-Grip-Cellphone/dp/B0055PH0XA). IF you really want the best set up, also buy a good USB outlet that connect to your battery and have your phone charge while you ride. An open map sucks battery pretty fast.

As far as apps, use motion x gps road, and download any gps tracks your heart desires. Motion x gps allows you to pre download map tracks to any level of detail you like and works great on airplane mode.

Old school is nice and all but is a different experience and makes progress slower and requires much more planning. I used my phone to navigate the entirety of the Continental Divide Trail, the transamerica trail and hit about 30/50 states a couple summers back and it worked great and eliminates the need for two devices and bulk.

this was the setup recommended to me and its worked great.

I bought a cheap one and hated it.

Then got a ram Mount off Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0055PH0XA/ref=yo_ii_img

Needed to get the extension arm and handlebar mount too. All in I think was $40.

Only thing I didn't like was the lock nuts it comes with cause they stop short of tight imo. Replace those with regular nuts for 30 cents and you're good to go. Mine doesn't move, even with all the vibration.

not too familiar with the restore, i think you can get away with restoring with the SAM method...

pretty sure Europes got nano sim... if not, buy this and bring it with you.. http://www.amazon.com/QQ-Tech-Cutter-Standard-iPhone-Adapters/dp/B009P16FKY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371535084&sr=8-1&keywords=nano+sim+cutter

you might be able to find a sim card on ebay... i bought a China one from ebay, but they dont come as nano though.

We aren't Motorola so unfortunately we can't answer the first question.

However for the SIM situation, you can either get a new SIM or cut your old one. There are 2 ways to cut a SIM, the easiest way is to get a cutting device like this. The other option is to use a template like the one on this page and very carefully cut it with scissors.

This is the cutter I ordered. I like it because it comes with the adapters as well.

http://www.amazon.com/Aerb-Cutter-Standard-iPhone-Adapters/dp/B009P16FKY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416552361&sr=8-1&keywords=sim+cutter

> Notice that what I'm really asking is--can it physically be done

Yes, physically you can do it with a SIM cutter like that. SIMs are all essentially the same just in different sizes. You can cut a SIM down, you can also "pad" a smaller size SIM to fit in a bigger SIM slot.

BTW, you can buy a Sim Card Cutter for ca. $10.

You can cut a standard or micro sim down to a nano sim, I did this when I went from a GS4 to an unlocked Nexus 5X, on Verizon. They are $8 on Amazon, just search Nano Sim cutter or https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009P16FKY/

Was pretty easy for me, but ymmv.

Use this, cut the sim card down. Works fine. Did it to the SIM from my S3.

http://www.amazon.com/Aerb-Cutter-Standard-iPhone-Adapters/dp/B009P16FKY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427256862&sr=8-1&keywords=micro+nano+sim+card+cutter

I used this - Aerb Sim Card Cutter with Nano-Micro, Nano-Standard, Micro-Standard Sim Adapters for Cellphones, Black. It was the best $7.99 I spent in a long time. Read the comments for tips, main one is to secure the sim tray in the device with your finger when you do the cut. I practiced on an old sim to get a feel for how much pressure was required.

The advice from /u/JulesJam is a bit quicker...

You'll be fine. You'll need a nano sim. If you have an older phone with a micro, you'll need to cut it down (or use a tool like this). Either way, turn off your old phone, take out the sim. Pop it in your Nexus 6 and it will activate. I've had mine for a few weeks now with no issues (in terms of service or plan).

I currently have mine on Straight Talk. I originally had ST with ATT , but recently switched to T-Mobile (it's easy to switch back and forth if you want, assuming you get the T-Mobile MotoX or the GSM Developer Edition model). One thing I would suggest getting first, if you decide to switch, is a SIM Punch. The reason being, Straight Talk only sells micro SIM cards, but the MotoX takes a nano SIM. The punch makes it easy to convert a micro SIM to a nano SIM. Otherwise, you have to cut it by hand.

After switching your account over, the only thing you have to do is key in Straight Talk's APN carrier settings (they will email you what to key in, or you can google it), and you're set!

MMS works, 4G LTE works (except for with Verizon), and everything else works the same. Only difference is the phone bill!

This Kenu mount is the best one you can get. Works perfectly even with a case...
https://www.amazon.com/Kenu-Airframe-Mount-Smartphones-Phablets/dp/B00D901B4W

I love Wirecutter but at the same time I feel like they're not as "expert-y" as they should be. They tend to dive into things more than your average consumer, but at the same time they get criticized heavily by enthusiasts for not looking at the right models.

I don't consider myself an enthusiast for cell phone holders, but I've spent enough of my own money to try to figure things out. Kenu in general runs pretty good but its not the best either. For instance I tried their air vent holder. It's a standard holder. Nothing special. In fact with phones going glass (e.g. iPhone XS) and heavier than ever, these holders start to not work out so much. I found a better air vent holder (IMO at least) that uses two arms to grab the air vents. The higher Amazon reviews also help with my confirmation bias to reaffirm that this new vent holder is better.

The same happened with their CD slot holder recommendation. I'm a huge fan of CD slot holders, but the one they recommended was an iOttie one which uses a magnetic mount. That makes it hard if you switch up phones or multiple people switch up their phones being mounted because you need to attach something to your phone. Their previous recommendation had a weird clamp mechanism and it didn't hold the phone well. I went back to my previous personal pick which uses a straight forward spring loaded clamp.

The fact that their picks have disappointed me twice in this field makes me a bit upset. Bottom line is I would recommend those two holders I ended up liking (both the air vent and CD slot holder). Those both are better than the Wirecutter picks IMO. I would have thought a company dedicated to buying and reviewing products would probably be able to find at least the same products I tried if not better ones.

Driving a 2009 Civic, I picked up a Kenu Airframe to mount to the far left vent. It helped keep my phone from overheating in summer to keep it in front of the ac vent.
My gf has an iOttie dash mount which also works much better than the older dash mounts i'd tried in years past, although i prefer the kenu airframe because it keeps the phone closer to key in things.

Best of luck.

This works well with my Galaxy S5 on the vent. You can't run the heat through the top vents while using it (I typically just run it on my feet anyways though).

My tips:

Things to bring

• Bring a USB Cigarette car charger - Link
  
• Cell phone dash holder - Link
  
• Headphone cable - Link
  (Listen to your jams while driving)
  
• Some snacks (stop at Trader Joe's or similar store)
  
• Bottle water
  
• Map of the region (Yes we have internet.. but not everywhere)
  
• Plastic bags as you acquire them (at the grocery store, gas station, etc.. work great for garbage)
  
  
  Tips for Rental Cars
  
  
• Don't get the insurance
  
• Don't get the insurance
  
• Get there 20-30 minutes early and be nice to the guy/gal. It's going to be a busy time for them and they will have a lot of angry people. Usually if you're nice they will upgrade you to a large vehicle because they have too many reservations and not enough stock on lot.
  
• Don't rent from the airport, always go to a lot off site.
  
• Be sure to do the walk around, it's as much for you as them.
  
• Do not pre-pay gas. Just fill it up to where it was before dropping it off. I always keep an eye out for the closest gas station before I leave.
  
• Double check you got all your stuff. Even if you have to make a list. I've found all sorts of stuff in cars that even the detailers missed.
  
  
  I travel/road trip quite a bit; If you've got any other questions, please let me know.
  

Should've searched this subreddits history. Tons of options here: http://www.reddit.com/r/MotoX/comments/2e7gt5/what_car_dock_should_i_get_for_my_moto_x/


Think I like this one best - http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D901B4W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've been using the Kenu Airframe, an overpriced but effective vent clip in my 2016 WRX.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D901B4W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's been working well with my iPhone 6S (non-plus). I clip it to the center-left vent, just above the radio power/volume dial. It has never fallen off, doesn't sag, etc.

Kenu Airframe

I can use launch control and the phone does not move at all

I can't imagine these working under a properly fitted helmet, TBH. Between the extra space needed and the control buttons...

But to the point of control, if you WERE able to make these work, I've picked up a simple bluetooth controller from Amazon for remote volume and track/play/pause control - the one I got isn't available anymore but there are others similar, with handlebar mount. https://www.amazon.com/Satechi-Bluetooth-Button-Media-Compatible/dp/B00RM75NL0

No, check this out.

You could look at getting one of these. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00RM75NL0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3VU7ZEOP0VRHH&coliid=I3UUGU29932MH8&psc=1

A cheap solution would be a remote control for your phone that can sit on your desk

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RM75NL0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_.DSxCb8XK2P5Z

Or google "bluetooth mobile remote control"

Or get headphones with built in controls

I have one of these bluetooth buttons attached to my handlebars for the same reason. It doesn't have as much functionality as the pebble, but works great for controlling music in my pocket while riding.

Smart Lock gives you a few ways to bypass your lock screen. All of them compromise your security in some way, but it doesn't seem like that's your highest priority (which is totally okay, I'm the same way lol). Other than Trusted Face and Trusted Voice, there are three options:

-On-body detection: Keep your phone unlocked until you set it on a flat surface. Basically, if you're holding it or you have it in your pocket.

-Trusted Places: Keep your phone unlocked at particular locations.

-Trusted Devices: Keep your phone unlocked while it's connected to a Bluetooth or NFC device. If you use a bluetooth headset/helmet on your motorcycle, this is probably what you want. If you don't already have some bluetooth device or don't want to use a headset, you can pick up a BT button just for the sake of having a connection. Here's one and here's another

Maybe one of these bluetooth remotes would meet your needs?

Media Button

Shower Remote

Might have to figure out the mounting thing, but that seems easily solvable once you have the remote.

Wow thats perfect i had no idea such things existed until now. Thanks much!

I used to use plugphones. I got this device for skipping tracks. Also handy to mute music if you need to talk to someone. Pricey but works really well. I stuck the button holder to my bike and just pop the button in and out. This is from UK amazon but im sure there is a US alternative.

You can get a bluetooth adapter for your car and a wireless bluetooth remote button that has back, forward, up, down, play, and pause controls, and which allows you to wirelessly control your phone. There are no wires to run or really anything that takes more than 30 seconds to install. You can even put the remote button on your steering wheel. Then your phone can auto-play when you get in your car. The bluetooth adapter also includes a USB phone charger for if you want to charge your phone.

I also got a magnetic phone mount that goes in the CD slot, so I can just set my phone on the mount and use it for turn-by-turn navigation/GPS and the feature to tell me where I parked my car.

I did. The total cost for all three together was about $75, and all of this was in a mid-2000s Prius.

You can get one of these. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00RM75NL0

As far as a complete aftermarket retrofit, kits are absolutely available for your vehicle. Companies like PAC and Metra have them developed within one or two years after a new model vehicle is out. You can replace the whole radio while retaining OnStar, Bose speakers and amp, backup camera, and steering wheel controls. It won't be cheap, but it's the only option if you want to control Bluetooth audio with your existing steering wheel controls.

I have this one, and it works great for me in landscape.

Have we already covered fast charging Qi chargers that work best for the the iPhone yet? Sifting through amazon is a bit exhausting.

Sorry for the format but here are the Qi chargers I have:

By far the spigen one is the best and sits on my night stand. Chargers 35-40% in 1hr.

Only one I can really think of that's wireless is

iOttie HLCRIO132 Easy One Touch Wireless Qi Standard Car Mount Charger for Qi Enabled Devices - Standard Packaging - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UXS7958/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_w-BkzbJB74VZC

Where would you like the mount? Suction cupped to the windshield? Clipped in the vent? Adhered to the dashboard? I personally like phone mounts that adhere to the dashboard. Is your dashboard hard plastic or is it soft vinyl? If it is vinyl, you would need a vent or windshield mount.

I used the old version of this mount for many years. It didn't have wireless charging at the time. It was a solid, robust mount. It didn't feel cheap and flimsy like most mounts. I recommend it.

You can't use both - you either use that metal plate on the back OR the wireless charging. Metal completely blocks the electromagnetic field that current version of wireless charging uses.

If you really want to use the phone mounted somewhere on dashboard (which I personally never do) - you can try something like this instead of magnetic mounts:
https://www.amazon.com/iOttie-HLCRIO132-Wireless-Standard-Charger/dp/B00UXS7958

Or, like you said, just give up on wireless charging altogether.

This is what I use, and it works great.

https://www.amazon.com/iOttie-HLCRIO132-Wireless-Standard-Charger/dp/B00UXS7958

Only caveats are if it's hot outside the phone can get SUPER hot. Generally I don't have any issues, but on 80*F+ days I usually unplug the charger.

Also, I don't expect the wireless charging to charge fast, so when I actually need fast charging I just move the cable from the dock to the phone.

These are issues with any wireless chargers, not just the iOttie.

Like the other commenter, I only have a Commuter case. This case is flawless. I bet it could fit a Defender.

It's a little expensive, but I got this one, just watch out using the provided extra "pad", it's glue and will stay on permanently, I use just the suction cup and it only falls off once or twice a year when the temperature is over 90F.

I have this and am reasonably happy with it:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UXS7958

It isn't magnetic, but it is quick and easy to insert and remove. To put the phone, you simply push it against the back and the jaws snap shut. To remove it, you press on the right and left side bars sticking out, and that pushes the jaws open, which then lock.

With music playing via bluetooth and the screen on displaying Google Maps for navigation, charging is kind of a break-even thing. During the day, when auto-brightness is cranking the screen up, I slowly lose charge (like 1% per hour). At night, when the screen dims and Maps goes into night mode, I gain a few percent per hour.

Occasionally, when I leave my car in direct sun for long periods of time, I come back to find the suction has released and have to re-attach it, but this isn't a big deal.

It looks like the price has gone up. I paid $36 for it in August 2016.

Yep, I bought one for the wife's van and liked it so much I decided to buy one for my car. We both have the S6. Her's with a case and mine naked and the wireless charger works perfectly on both phones!

Link

Also here is my wireless car dock
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UXS7958?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

I use this qi charger in my car with the N6. It's more than sufficient to keep the phone running maps and music/podcasts without losing charge. Admittedly, if I get into the car with low battery it won't pick up much charge if I'm using it. It'll charge if I turn the screen off, so at least there's that.

For convenience factor, though, I love it. Just press the phone into the dock and it's charging and right in my eyeline while driving. When ready to get out just squeeze the release and it pops into my hand.

I had this for my GS6 (it includes wireless charging which obviously I no longer use) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UXS7958/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The one click in and easy out is the most wonderful thing. Highly reccommend any of their mounts. Definitely worth the price.

Edit: Don't waste your money on this one since you don't need the wireless charging, but go with the brand

Not OP, but this is the one I use in my car for my Nexus 6. Only problem with it was I had to use the micro USB to cigarette lighter cable that came with it and it's a little short. I bought one of these to make up the difference.

I would suggest a multi-USB charger, such as this. However, your suggestion can charge things that don't use USB.

What power supply are you using for the PI's. I keep getting low voltage dropouts on mine.

> USB power receptacles

I've installed a few of these, and in my opinion they just aren't worth the extra cost. Since he's building the house mostly to his own desire, I'd say just plan on having outlets in areas where devices will need to be charged and use something like an Anker in areas where multiple devices or guests will need.

Hey, kind of off-topic, but what are you planning to use for USB? If you’re going to pack a mess of chargers, consider getting this bad boy along with a cord that matches.

I used it on my last vacation. Set it up in the middle of the apartment we rented, and everybody plugged in their cell phones, vapes, etc. 2.4A per port, I highly recommend it.

The ipad chargers work great, just make sure to get a high quality micro-usb cable to hook up to it.

Otherwise the anker usb wall chargers have been perfect for me, and allow me to charge all of my devices at once, with a single charger: http://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerPort-Charging-Multi-Port-Charger/dp/B00VH8ZW02

https://www.amazon.com/Spigen%C2%AE-Magnetic-Holder-Neodymium-Galaxy/dp/B0109JIQ0W

This is what I got and it's great.

This one: Amazon but probably any mag mount with a vent clip will work. The clip part screws into the round plastic that holds the magnets. You may have to find a longer screw if you want to screw into something thicker.

I'd avoid the ones with the ball-swivel mount for this method. Those sockets or ball sections are molded in, so they'll be harder to attach to a flat surface. I didn't need the adjustability since the panavise bracket already tilts it to the correct angle, and I preferred the super low profile.

Fair enough, definitely easy and error-proof. Cords just bug me when I'm driving, I don't even have my phone charging unless it's nearly dead. Having a manual trans doesn't help.

I came up with a different solution though.

I used two of these nifty magnetic mounts and put the two rectangular metal plates on two corners of my iPad, placing the mounts in about the center of each of the middle airvents. The result works really well.. Makes it easy to just hand over the iPad to anyone who wants to control the music. Also have an apple music subscription, I think that covers about anything you want to listen to.

I realize this won't work for everyone, but this would work equally as well on any tablet (let's face it if you're driving an Audi you can afford a $150 nexus 7) and with any streaming audio service or just a very well stocked library of songs.

I have one of these and love it.

https://www.amazon.com/Spigen®-Magnetic-Holder-Neodymium-Galaxy/dp/B0109JIQ0W

It uses magnets, so you can put it in any orientation easily and quickly. The magnets are strong, so you're phone definitely won't fall off. It's also quick and easy to pop it on or off. You can either put the magnet directly on the phone or inside of a case. I recommend a case so you don't get any sticky residue on the back of your phone. It's also only 7 bucks.

I personally bought Spigen Car Mount Holder and I use it almost every day. I'm in love with this $7 thing.

clips are decent

but if you want ultimate durability/convenience, you have to go with magnet

https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Magnetic-Holder-Compatible-iPhone/dp/B0109JIQ0W/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=spigen+magnet+mount&qid=1562632058&s=gateway&sr=8-4

Absolutely no questions asked. None whatsoever !

I'm a big fan of magnetic mounts.

Currently have a vent mount.

https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Magnetic-Holder-Compatible-iPhone/dp/B0109JIQ0W

as for the case i went with the tough armor case in gold. For taking it in and out for VR it's not bad at all, i dont even take the hard plastic off to get the phone out.

Found this when i was case shopping and it works very well (i dont have the magnet secured to the case, just floating between the hard and soft parts of the case)

GorillaPod makes one that is suitable for a point and shoot.

Then there's this for only $800 without a head. But it seems like it's exactly what you have in mind.

You might be able to DIY by removing the feet of the tripod and shoving a cell phone magent mount like this and securing with gaffer tape. I have one of these, and the magnet is quite strong. If used at a higher speed I'd be double-sure and use tie-downs on it.

a decent phone mount is what you need. If you have a case on your phone get a magnetic mount. You stick a thin metal plate on the inside of your case so that the magnets of the mount stick to the phone.

this is the one i use.

https://www.amazon.ca/Spigen-Magnetic-Holder-iPhone-Galaxy/dp/B0109JIQ0W

Bought something like this off aliexpress for like $2. Works great I just stuck a magnet to the outside of my case and it sticks to the vent. Had it for a year, no complaints.

If you use a case get one of these.

https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Magnetic-Holder-iPhone-Galaxy/dp/B0109JIQ0W/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478538960&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=spigen+magent+car

If you don't use a case get a Kenu Airframe

I have three of these but not this brand. Two are Logitech and one is Spigen. They all work well but I paid over $30 for the Logitechs. I recommend the Spigen it holds my iPhone 6 in a heavy duty case with no problems, looks and feels better too. It's close to the price of this one.

Just don't buy anything that glues to the dash/window (including the Scosche). It will unglue or make a mess from the heat if you're in a hot southern climate. I didn't like the vent mounts either but for the new model you don't have any good dash locations. I went with the spigen. It has a soft rubber surface and won't scratch your vent and the magnetic disc is super thin, I've had a few cheap ones and the difference in quality is huge.

If you don't want to block the vent, get the Proclip, your budget should cover it.

This one is fuuuuuucking awesome. Just got it today, can't recommend enough.

Spigen Magnetic Mount. It's $7 and it holds the phone really well.

Used to use ProClips with my previous 2 phones, but there's no charging holder to use the 6P with a case.

off-topic, but i'm seeing a lot of people sour about how little their batteries are helping because of the massive battery reqs, but there's a solution

i use two of these, and bring them to lure zones in case people really need charges ++ also, they double as flashlights in case you're for whatever reason in the dark with your chargers.

>I'm using a Samsung Galaxy s4 mini. This phone will have issues with the "GPS location not found issue." I found the fix for this is to download another app known as: "GPS status & toolbox" run the "Gps status and toolbox" app before opening the "pokemon go" app. The game will now work. You will see pokemon. Note: The servers are currently being slammed. So the game is not really playable. But once the servers calm down. Your phone will be able to play it. I was playing early this morning with no problems. Then people woke up and slammed the servers. I hoped this helped! BTW: The battery drain of this app on our phone is killer. Expect 4 hours max before a dead battery. I recommend grabbing a EasyAcc Monster 20000mAh Power Bank right now. They are on sale for $32.99, which is a 90% discount from the original price of $122.99.
https://www.amazon.com/EasyAcc-20000mAh-Dual-Input-External-Portable/dp/B01422TC14/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1468010555&sr=8-12&keywords=backup+battery+charger

No, you will probably not be able to charge it any faster.

Basically your battery pack will only accept 2A as the maximum input, and your solar cells out up to 3.4 A at 5V (which is a weird number - USB devices are supposed to ask for how much current they want, otherwise they get something like 500 mA).


You aren't completely out of luck though, I found this battery pack which has dual inputs that would theoretically charge faster: https://www.amazon.com/EasyAcc-20000mAh-Dual-Input-External-Portable/dp/B01422TC14/ref=sr_1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1475102042&sr=1-6&keywords=battery+pack

The approach I'm taking on my Pi 3-based "field computer" project is to use a buck converter to supply constant 5V to a 20000mah battery pack, in turn being fed by a cheapo 12V 30A switching PSU. That battery pack can pump out more than enough current for my purposes, but for higher amperage loads you could simply inject USB power directly from the buck converter rails.

Total cost of approximately $30 is competitive with a quality 5V 10A AC adapter. The benefit with this setup over an adapter is that by skipping the PSU stage and feeding straight off the buck converter, I can run off of essentially any common DC source, including car and motorcycle batteries. Of course, if the input voltage isn't 12V, you'll have to dial it in with the buck converter, but that's a small price for the ability to tap into all those 18V power tool batteries and even 36V golf carts & wheelchairs.

Note that there are a BUNCH of those "DROK" brand converters on Amazon. Some are boost only, some buck only, others have both stages on the same board for greatly increased flexibility at the cost of some conversion efficiency. Watch the voltage and amperage specs, assume that any stated thresholds are optimistic, and plan to do thermal testing and add additional cooling if needed for your application. If you can find them, and they are getting hard to find, the MingHe D3806 is pretty much the best, and is actually the one I'm using.

Note also to take care with wire resistance! Most especially, be mindful not to end up with a design that's got all 6 amps flowing over some generic USB cable with 28 gauge 5v strands.

Sorry to be that guy, but I am clueless about all the details. After skimming, I'm terrified of burning up my Switch battery. This battery pack looks like a great deal, can anyone verify it would be fine for the Switch?:

Like most have suggested Anker is king of power banks, but I've honestly had no issues with my EasyAcc power banks which have been great for the price (I bought them at cheaper than the current Amazon listings). Link to those if you're still interested: 10,000mAh and 20,000mAh

this has been my favorite one. 20k mAh, it has 2 ports to charge it with so it can charge really fast, and it has 4 hookups to charge other devices simultaneously. Pretty similar to the second one you posted.

I have the one from Anker, and it works with my Caseology Skyfall without issue: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KJL4XNY

My car mount has a magnet in the mount and a plate that you're supposed to put on your phone-- I have the plate sitting in the case at the bottom of the phone, and I'm still able to wirelessly charge, although I'm on an S9+, so that might help with positioning.

So wanted to update you. I started having issues with the Note 8 on the Choetech charger. I sprung for the Anker wireless charger and it works great, not nearly as picky as it was on the Choetech.

This is the one that I got
Anker Wirless Charger

The Seneo below has about a 3/4" lip/shelf on it. I used it with an iPhone X until i returned it. It should work fine.

if you buy one with at least 2 coils its not much of an issue, however those were sparse during note 5 days or at least were premium priced. Now there are all kinds of good cheapos.

I bought this one and it works fine

But I will say wireless charging is pretty darn slow if you don't have quick charge enabled, But QC 2.0 on my S7e was pretty nice with this charger and kept a good charging pace.

I've been using this thing: https://smile.amazon.com/Seneo-Wireless-Certified-Charging-Compatible/dp/B01M0IL0QX

​

Keep in mind the LG G6 does NOT have wireless fast charging, it will charge much slower than it does on the cable.

​

I bought it because i can leave it on my desk/in the cradle and look at notifications and etc as needed.

$19, works fine, even does fast charging.

Hello, you may want to talk a look at this one from Seneo. Look at the reviews and decide if it’s suitable for your usage.

I use this one. It's convenient because it's not a mat the phone will slide off of so I've never had that problem. Plus it faces you conveniently.

I bought THIS one from amazon as i wasn't going to pay 90 bucks for a charging dock and it works really well

Refund and get this sexy one.

I have several of these, my husband has 2 of them, and like 5 of my friends have purchased the exact same one on my recommendation. Have been using them nonstop since the X came out. Perfect angle for FaceID. I have them on my desks at home and work, and on my nightstand. Cheap and work perfectly.

I've had good luck with this one.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0IL0QX

Using the quick charger made it warm/hot and didn't ever cool down even after 100%... once I switched to a normal ~2 amp charger it charges fine overnight and everything stays nice and cool.

Currently my favorite

I am still working on what car charger can work with the xz2 with case.

Plan for the cold. Buy a good sleeping bag and don't scrimp on it. This link recommends Kelty brand sleeping bags. I own Kelty brand and its good. A mummy style fits closer for warmth, but can feel claustrophobic. a rectangular style fits looser for movement, but at a cost of less warmth.

Plan for warm layers for yourself. buying a good baselayer can help keep you warm when you're not in your sleeping bag. Merino wool is a good choice, but it costs. its worth the cost. there are synthetic styles that are cheaper.

Buy a good headlamp, because making your way to the public restrooms in the dark sucks muchly and you'd hate it if you dropped and lost your flashlight. plus carrying a flashlight in your hand means you can't carry much else.

Buy something that will help you cook your food and heat water. If that's going to be handled for you, then you might not need it. Me, I like to be self-sufficient and I really like my tea. Be sure to ask your group how food is going to be handled. I like GSI Outdoors brand because its nice and compact and its a nice size for a Vargo titanium alcohol stove. If you go this route, you'll need Denatured Alcohol which is hard to be shipped. Call around local hardware stores or hiking stores around you to see if anyone carries it. You'll also need flip top plastic squeeze bottles to carry the alcohol around in. Keep it in its own leak-proof bag. If you have a store close to you like Cabela's or REI, they carry this stuff too.

buy a travel mug with a cover. Me, I like Hydroflask brand because its flip-top cap is leak proof, but YMMV.

Here's a bunch of hacks that look interesting. You don't have to go all-out on these, but if you find yourself doing this type of car-camping again, you'll find them useful. Here's some more tips for first-time campers

WEAR STURDY SHOES. Boots are a great idea, but they also make hiking shoes that are lighter in weight. Buy merino wool socks. Merino wool is like ovens for your feet. I like Smartwool or Darn Tough

For food: I've done an entire camping trip on nothing but unrefrigerated foods. I bought a good crusty bread, squeeze peanut butter and squeeze jam. there are also pre-packaged hiking foods that are tasty. Make sure you bring several gallons of water and be sure to keep hydrated.

also BUG SPRAY! Don't mess around with "all natural" bug spray. You want DEET. I went camping in an area that was close to the water table and was basically mosquito breeding central. from the time when I arrived and the time I finally broke down and bought a DEET-based repellant, I was bitten 47 times.

edited to add: PHONE CHARGERS! This is mega important because power is going to be a premium at a festival. I own this Anker Power Core and it will re-charge your phone up to 7 times. Its kind of heavy, but its worth it. Anker also sells smaller ones that will recharge a phone twice to three times.

edited again to add: Anything you buy, test it before the trip happens. Sleep a night in your new sleeping bag. test your new camp-stove (outside preferably). cook something in your new camp pot. see how it works so that if there's something that doesn't happen the way you want it, you know about it before the big day. especially if you've never used a campstove before: you want to learn how to operate it without burning yourself or others or setting fire to things that shouldn't be on fire.

I went with a recommended Anker 20000 as it fits perfect in the included battery clip. It's a monster and lasts for hours. But as it's heavier than the stock battery it doesn't easily clip directly to the headband like with the stock battery, so smaller batteries could be a better choice for that.

Supposedly any battery with Quick Charge 3.0 output will work, probably some black friday deals going on.

Mine does. It's the quick charge 3 one with power iq. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Upgraded-PowerCore-Backwards-Compatible-black/dp/B01N0X3NL5

I got one of these, others on here have said they work well, hopefully find out myself on Monday.

20,000mAh: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N0X3NL5

All that matters is it's Anker and says Quick Charge 3 right? Like this one would work?

I''m in the UK and got THIS ONE from Amazon.

It's like it was made to fit the official battery holder it's just longer.

EDIT: Looks like it's available where you are - Anker PowerCore Speed 20000, Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0

Anker has quite some loading Power.

https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B01N0X3NL5/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅZÕÑ&qid=1510759326&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=anker+powerbank+fast+charge&dpPl=1&dpID=31I3TO3q-9L&ref=plSrch

This one is fast but nothing Close to Dash Charge.

You can use the headset with wireless adapter in what I call "wired wireless mode" by plugging USB power into a QC 3.0 capable charger - I have a 5 meter USB cable for that and it works fine. Here's the charger I use to charge controllers, trackers and battery after VR sessions. The QuickCharge port can also power the wireless adapter. You may want to check your phone charger for support of QC 3 too - some phones support it.

As for power banks, HTC ones are trash. They give around 2 hours of play and then charge for like 7 hours because they don't support QC input at all. They are that bad. On the upside, they can charge from any USB port.
Luckily, you can use any QC 3.0 capable power bank. I personally use Anker PowerCore Speed 20000, gives around 5 hours of playtime, fits into HTC clip (although it sticks out as it is much longer), and has QC support for its own charging, so it charges in around 6 hours too. Having two of these, you can theoretically swap them for unlimited wireless playtime. You can also charge one controller at a time from its second USB port.

just ordered an upgraded version of my charger ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N0X3NL5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) will that seen reports that it does work on the tpcast (figured mine is the older one) so should work on the official one too.
Just had a brief 17 minute game of blade & sourcery, recorded it and may upload it though man I came off psychotic!


lack of cable is a huge difference when playing though because I was recording it caused the system to stress out, near the end it was a tad jolty and the device got very hot.

This is the one I bought. Not the “official” one but it works great.

Just got this Anker PowerCore Speed 20000 PD couple of weeks ago: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071WNWRNC/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_GQVEAbECP5KZ6

The bank comes with a USB-C Power Delivery wall charger to charge the bank itself in about 4 hours. It charges the Switch while playing in handheld/tabletop, and it fast charges my Note 8! I bought this powerbank specifically for flights as well.

Whatever you do, it's recommended you go with a powerbank that has USB-C power delivery for the Switch!

I am in the market for a portable charger for my devices. I want to get one that will safely charge my Switch. I've found a few so far through some research. Which should I get? Help is greatly appreciated!

Here's one that I got a couple weeks ago during an Amazon sale:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071WNWRNC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&pldnSite=1

There's also a lower capacity model w/ charger for a little bit less. I don't think it has the same features as this one, but otherwise it seems like a good deal as well.

This guy

Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. I've had more than a few battery banks, and none have stuck around as long as this one has.

FWIW, looks exactly like this product on Amazon for $13
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075WW69PS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_q0iJAbT19N777

Using one now. Has the dot matrix but doesn't bother me. My biggest complaint is dust/pocket lint has seeped underneath after installation.

I've bought multiple of these tempered glass screen protectors on Amazon and use them along with a phone case. The screen still has the same feel and responsiveness.

They hold up really well against cracking during everyday use and normal drops and falls. The only minor problem I've had is that dust can occasionally work its way under the protector, leaving tiny little spots (but that's on a phone that is constantly in a very dusty environment). I dropped my phone screen side down on dirt/gravel and accidentally stepped on it. The screen protector shattered of course, but my phone was perfectly fine with not a scratch on the actual screen.

Edit: link to the correct phone model

The suggested other options on Amazon from your first link include one I've purchased.

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B075WW69PS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_kCM3CbQJS17RY

I have only needed 2 so far and they work well. Current one is going almost a year.

I've blasted through so many Zagg invisashield ones, and they are a hassle to submit for a replacement, don't stick, and break easily. Stay the fuck away from those.

https://www.amazon.com/amFilm-Google-Screen-Protector-Tempered/dp/B075WW69PS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1537931231&sr=8-1&keywords=amfilm+pixel+2+xl

It's far from perfect, but it's the first one that didn't fall off 3-5 days later..

I also use it with the rhinoshield crashguard, so case usage will vary.

I have bought a few of these and the fit is amazing. Only issue is you get a weird rainbow effect under the protector sometimes. But for the fit and price is worth it.

amFilm Google Pixel 2 XL... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075WW69PS?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I have this one and a few of my friends have also bought it due to recommendation, we all love it: https://www.amazon.com/Protector-amFilm-Tempered-UPDATED-ADHESIVE/dp/B075WW69PS

I've been pretty happy with this one:

Google Pixel 2 XL Screen Protector Glass, amFilm Google Pixel 2 XL Tempered Glass Screen Protector 3D Curved with Dot Matrix for Google Pixel 2 XL 0.3mm (1-Pack) [UPDATED ADHESIVE VERSION] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075WW69PS?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

$12.99

No problems with a number of cases I've tried and very little pocket lint, nothing a puff of air won't knock out. There are probably better ones, this is the only one I've tried and I've felt no need to look further in the 2 months I've had it.

I use this one...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Google-Screen-Protector-amFilm-Tempered/dp/B075WW69PS

Ignore the poor reviews, they were for the first version of it, the revised one is fine.

Any of these.

This is the one I have, works great, charges very quickly: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014GRM294

they also make these:

http://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Certified-RAVPower-20100mAh-Technology/dp/B019IFIJW8

Those two have type C connectors, and the last one is also QC 3.0 compatible so if you get a device with that later on it'll be compatible as well. Right now the LG G5 is the only flagship device with QC 3.0, but I imagine the next gen Moto X will have it as well. Depends on how often you refresh your phone I guess, or if you have or plan to get other devices with type C.

I've been using this battery pack and had no issues, even supports rapid charging
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0156HCJQO/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_X1P9wbPMKK0YV

And this battery pack.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0156HCJQO/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_M419wbE92HWEN

All work great with my 6P, and with anything else.

Here is what I got:

Switch Case

Battery/Portable Charger

Screen Protector

Micro SD Card

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0156HCJQO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I would personally recommend this one. It is incredible. It has USB-C qualcomm quick charge which I absolutely LOVE.

External Battery Goodness

This is my favorite thing. I have it in my bag with a long USB cord looped in. This particular model can charge my Samsung Note 4 5 times or so per full charge of battery.

There are cheaper models as well by the same manufacturer. Anker is also popular.

I'm going to grab one more just to have.

I know this is a few days old but I just got this one recently and really love it!

Having heard about all the dock-bricking that's been going on since 5.0 update and not wanting to lose my saves, how risky is it to use a power bank (like this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0156HCJQO/) to charge the switch?

What should I look out for as risk factors in a powerbank? I've heard that PowerDelivery ports and/or "smart" charging ports (that can transfer any kind of data) can brick the switch, although it's supposed to support PD. Is USB A-C safer than C-C or vice versa? Also is there much difference in charging cables?

I have this one. Works great.

I was told the QC 3.0 one wouldn't have any benefit for the 6P.

I bought the QC 2.0 one.

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerLine-Resistor-Including-ChromeBook/dp/B01A6F3WHG/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1485031398&sr=1-1&keywords=anker+usb-c+cable&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011

And if you want a new wall charger;

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Charger-PowerPort-PowerIQ/dp/B016LO4UTA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485031273&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+powerport+1

Here's the Anker QC 3.0 everyone's talking about:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016LO4UTA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_QGogAb1R47R4B

I use the Anker PowerPort +1 with my Moto X Play and it works great. It's designed for quickcharge 3.0 devices but it's backward compatible with 2.0 devices (including moto x pure etc).

And I recommend this charging brick, cheaper than OEM and works just as good: https://www.amazon.com/Charge-Anker-Charger-Compatible-PowerPort/dp/B016LO4UTA/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1497983130&sr=1-4&keywords=anker+quick+charge

Anker branded cables and charging blocks are always a great option. Look for an Anker charger that supports fast charging. They also sell car chargers that support fast charging too.

Here is an Anker that supports quick charge: https://www.amazon.com/Charge-Anker-Charger-Compatible-PowerPort/dp/B016LO4UTA/ref=sr_1_5?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1492565368&sr=1-5&keywords=anker+fast+charge

So the Note 4 has Quick Charge 2.0, so I would make sure your charger is compatible with that. A search on amazon should find you a good charging brick that is capable of that, and also make sure the cable is capable of QC2.0 (most cables in the past few years are capable, but again if you get a cheap cable from the grocery store, probably not going to cut it).

I use this one, no complaints asides from the green LED being bright.

I'm going to assume you did not buy a QC3.0 charger? I've been using this one. There are probably cheaper alternatives out there but that is very likely why it takes you so long to get a full charge.

If you need two ports:
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Charger-PowerPort-PowerIQ/dp/B01IUSYF8G/ref=sr_1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1481224207&sr=1-3&keywords=anker+wall+charger+quick+charge+3.0

If you only need one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016LO4UTA/ref=twister_B01HECNYW2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I have the 1-port charger and love it. Like u/TheRipePunani (lol) said, anything Anker or Aukey and you can't go wrong.

Any charger that can provide at least 1.5A will work. You could see if your device manufacturer sells official replacement chargers, or get one from a reputable 3rd-party accessory manufacturer like Anker. As long as it's not some $3 piece of garbage that will burn out after a few minutes of use, you won't have this problem.

Here's a link to one in the ~3A range, assuming you have a quality cable: http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Compatible-PowerPort-Wireless-Charging/dp/B016LO4UTA

I use this Anker charger and it charges my phone just as fast as my factory fast charger.

>LG will decline to value my warranty

Where have you heard that at? Considering LG does not sell the chargers separately, 99% of any solution to charging (Car, Office, ETC) relies on 3rd party chargers.

Even Google themselves, don't sell a LG branded charger.. https://store.google.com/collection/accessories

I have tried to find a LG charger months ago before giving up and getting this charger https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016LO4UTA/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and a USB A-C cord.

That seems a little long to me. The included charger died on me after five days and I'm using this as a replacement:

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B016LO4UTA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This past weekend it charged my phone from 0 to 100% in 97 minutes. I don't think that's any faster or slower than the included charger was, but it lived such a brief life I can't be certain.

I use this one. It's very fast, has quick charge/rapid charge or whatever the Nexus has. The lock screen always says charging rapidly. Plus there's a usb port for another device that charges up to 2.4amps. It's a great charger imo.

I've used [this Nektek] (https://www.amazon.com/charger-Nekteck-Charger-Adapter-Integrated/dp/B0172QQNBY) since February and it works perfectly. Benson Leung approved

USB Type C Car charger, Nekteck... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0172QQNBY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This has worked perfectly for me and it rapid charges my pixel 2 which you'll probably need with that crazy battery drain.

I got this one from the same manufacturer:

Works great

I'd get a cigarette lighter to ac adapter and use the wall charger or something like this

I got this one and it has been working flawlessly since September last year.

Here's the 3A USB-C one I use. Works great. Benson Leung has mentioned it in his blog.

I bought this Anker before I found this subreddit and the spreadsheet. It works fine but does not rapid charge, I don't think it's USB-PD.

I then bought this Nekteck after looking at the spreadsheet just after people said to not buy the Belkin. It does rapid charge but according the notes on the spreadsheet does not support USB-PD. It's kind of a no name brand though and I don't really trust it long term to be honest.

I just bought this other Anker which should arrive tomorrow so we'll see how well it compares.

Either way I'm going to end up selling 2 chargers on Craigslist very soon. Maybe I'll just cave and sell all 3 and drop $100 on this Kanex or $140 on this MOS Go battery bank and hope no news comes out about how shit it is.

Why would you spend $15 on a $800 phone. So many videos of cheap knock off and even the big names don't follow spec including Anker. Don't be cheap and just buy a Google charger.

Honestly battery problems really caused me a lot of stress so if you're anything like that, just spend $50 and get it replaced at a phone repair store. Then it won't matter about getting a charger. If your battery is randomly dying, then chargers are just a waste of money.

I've been using this one since December. "Rapidly charging." No issues so far. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0172QQNBY

Can someone recommend a car charger for me? I'm seeing conflicting views on quick charging (which would be a plus). Does it have to have a usb c port? Looking at these two right now:

Nektek

Tronsmart

I've had this one since I bought the 6P. I also bought one for my wife since she has the 5X. It's an excellent charger.

There are actually a ton of good type C car chargers out there, or at least a hardwired type C cable with an additional type A plug for everything else. You won't get rapid charging using type A to C.

I have this one, but there are a ton of options.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0172QQNBY/ref=mp_s_a_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1481651916&sr=8-17&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=Type+C+car+charger&dpPl=1&dpID=411X6qKZ7ZL&ref=plSrch

As for type C wall chargers, a bunch exist too. I use a tronsmart wall charger with both a type C and type A output. They're about $15.

I didn't see a Benson review in Amazon, but I know it was in this compilation of Benson approved items: http://astore.amazon.com/ba026-20/detail/B0172QQNBY

Not sure what to think of that anymore. I have this charger and I'm a little hesitant to continue using it.

Try this on amazon. I got a charge of 65% in 65 minutes with occasional screen on’s

Here's a USB C QC 3.0 charger w/ a 3ft cord that will work just fine.

Reposting because my self post was removed...

Wall of text incoming...

After spending a good portion of my weekend researching USB-C PD, Quickcharge, the effects of cable gauge on amperage, etc., I think I finally understand USB charging over USB A and USB C via both PD and QuickCharge.

Before my current HTC 10, which is a Quick Charge 3.0 device, I had a Pixel and, prior to that, a Nexus 5X. So my entire experience with USB C charging was via USB Power Delivery, which worked very well. USB C AC adapters and USB C-C cables always quick charged my devices, presumably at 15w(3a/5v). Whenever I used a different charger, usually a USB-A brick with an A-C cable, they charged around 10w(2a/5v) or 5w (1a/5v); i.e. normal USB charging speeds.

Quick Charge 3.0 over USB-C has thrown a bit of a wrench into that. From what I can tell, QC 3.0 tops out at 19.5w, but supports a range of voltages at 1.5a, 2a, and 3a to maximize charging speed and efficiency. QC3 is connector agnostic and should work over over USB A, C, and micro. QC3.0 over USB-C is not strictly within USB-C spec, but as long as it is implemented safely, does not seem to cause any issues.

However, what's really throwing me for a loop is this Anker product here and article #1 and article #2.

First, the Anker charger is a USB-C charger that simultaneously claims to be QC3.0 certified AND claims to deliver full charging speeds to the Nexus USB-C PD devices and warns that it will not quick charge the HTC 10 and LG G5, which are both QC3.0 devices. According to EVERYTHING I've stated and read, this should not be possible.

Also, the first article says that the HTC 10 is capable of charging via a standard USB C-C connection at 10w(2a/5v). Is this newsworthy? Is this truly USB-C Power Delivery? I was under the impression that PD defined power profiles from 3a-5a, up to 100watts. As far as I can tell, any device, power delivery or not, should be able to pull 2a if supported by the device and cable.

Finally, the second article states that the HTC 10 does pull 15w(3a/5v) over USB PD, but doesn't do so "well." Is this then proof that the HTC 10 does in fact fully support USB PD over proper chargers?

Any information that can help me sort all this out would be greatly appreciated. That said, I've purchased a USB-C amperage meter, have 3 different USB A-C cables, a mix of USB-A power adapters and plan to purchase some USB-C cables and chargers to test as well (sold my previous ones with my Nexus and Pixel devices.)

Anker, always Anker

Anker Quick Charge 3.0 and USB Type-C 24W USB Wall Charger, PowerPort+ 1 for Galaxy C9 Pro, Nexus, Moto and More
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CJ90J6O/

Type-C to Type-C cords ftw, I'm actually not sure on this. I don't know how anker made a type c brick with quick charge 3.0.

I can't speak on how it will hold up in the long-term, or if it will degrade the battery life of my phone more quickly, but it charges at much higher throughput for its weight than for any of the 20ish chargers I tested, with the exception of the Moto TurboPower 30Watt, which charged my Motorola TurboPower Pack @ 28 Watts from 0% to about 30% before dropping down to 15Watts until 80%, and then trickle charged. I measured power usage using a "Kill A Watt" device and far too much time.

The Anker Devices I tested seemed to only deliver at around 6-8 Watts of charging throughput for my phone. Given that I'm using a Motorola, it uses a "TurboCharger" spec and doesn't use the QC3.0 spec, so I'm not sure if the Anker Devices avoided charging at higher power rating because they are true to QC3.0 communication protocol, or because of some other reason.

The other charger that I found to work quite well for the weight was this one. I can't find my notes, but think it was around 0.9 oz to 1.2 oz. Because I wanted my charger to charge both the battery and the phone simultaneously, and didn't want to rely on two outlets, I went for the Lyilin charger.

I'm super happy with my phone + charger setup right now (Moto Z Play w/ Moto TurboPower Pack), which loses around 10% per day in airplane mode with pretty frequent topographic map checking (turning the phone off at night fucks this up unless you decouple the battery). The Moto PowerPack effectively brings the battery capacity to 180%, and when simultaneously charging the PowerPack and the phone, I can get to 80% on the phone and 80% on the battery in about 30 minutes. So, I'm pretty sure I can get about 10-12 days of more-than just navigation phone use out of this setup while backpacking before charging, which can be done in less than the amount of time it takes me to resupply. This means I get a very solid kindle device or music device out of my phone if I so choose.

The other reason I settled on my phone + battery combo is that I wear pants, so I just drop my phone in my side pocket for easy access for navigation, photos, etc. As a worn item, I never need to feel the weight from an external battery.

There's a bit of confusion right now over charging specs and speeds and some other things. Not sure if anyone has compiled a list of proper chargers for the P2/P2XL yet (correct me if I'm wrong!).

However from experience, the two most reliable brands are Aukey and Anker. I have an Anker charger sitting on my desk right now. I bought it for my Nexus 6P and use it for my P2XL now.

This is the one I bought:

Can’t find the one I have but it’s like this one. You do need a USB C to lightning cable from apple though.

https://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-WizGear-Universal-Swift-Snap-Technology/dp/B01G0X56YU/ref=sr_1_4?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1511237520&sr=1-4&keywords=wizgear&dpID=516HCwrnleL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Two of them for 9 bucks. They're fantastic

I use a magnetic car mount off amazon. I used a dremel and routed out a little piece of the plastic trim around the head unit and ran the cable down that and through the center console. Then I used a switched obd2 power cable to extend to the OFT cable.

The install is super clean if you're willing to cut into your trim piece a little bit.

I have a bottle of hand sanitizer that fits in that space perfectly! And then one of these for my phone: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G0X56YU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_NkH1AbP91DWDF

i use the WizGear mounts and just put the magnet in my spigen case, this works wonders. And the phone stays cool from the AC

Get this. Just stick it in the a/c vent, it solves pretty much all your problems

I had trouble with this at first as well. I like my phone to my right, but every spot in the middle seemed to block something. I ended up using a magnetic vent clip mount that works very well. I put it on the vent to the left of the steering wheel. It doesn't block anything important, and it holds my huge galaxy note 8 perfectly. It has never fallen off, or moved in the slightest. The way I have it mounted only blocks half the vent. No matter what you have to block something lol. Got used to it on the left, and ended up putting my accessport just below where the trunk release button is. Link to phone mount

I use one of these in the vent to the right of the drivers seat.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G0X56YU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_oxNPDbZC61DX5

These fit our vents really well and are cheap as hell. I even use mine when I rally and the phone stays on just fine. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G0X56YU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_nlORAbPYV3AE7

Buy a magnetic vent clip! I got one, then bought some for my parents, and they've bought them as gifts for other people. You mount the magnet to your vent (the feet are silicone and leave absolutely no marks) and add a magnetic sheet to your phone (I stuck mine to the inside of my case). When you get in the car, you just smack your phone on the mount. No clamps. No suction cups. No stickiness or goop. It's brilliant.

This has been my personal favorite.

I've had this one for about 1.5 years now. RavPower Customer Service is really good, better than other companies that do the same thing.

I bought it direct and actually thought mine was defective in the first few days of getting it but found out that my USB wall chargers were 1A, which charges it much slower. I asked them for a 2.4A and they sent me one free of charge. The 2.4A wall charger charges it full in 8-10h.

It charges my iPhone X about 7-8 times on a full charge, and with the iPhone 4 I had before I got the X I charged the bank once a month or once/3w. I bought it because it was the best value for the capacity and port amount, but there are better quality ones out there if you desire quality over everything.

It's pretty big, but I keep it in a backpack while threading the wire through the earphone holes. If you want something to fit in your pocket this isn't the one to go for, but I charge it once a week (and only charging my phone from the battery bank).

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G1XH46M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_XYE3BbZANAQFF

Here is the one I use. 22,000 mah for $42

Some of the older Garmin units use AA batteries. I have a Garmin eTrex Vista HCx that's maybe 10 years old and it takes AA batteries. They'll last about 24 hours while the unit is on, but you can carry extra batteries with you and swap them out when they need to be replaced. I don't know of anywhere to buy one of them nowadays, but if you could find one used, it would probably be cheap. I've used mine for hiking, backpacking, and motorcycling for 10 years and it still works just as well as the day I got it. It's not particularly fancy though.

If you get a device that is charged via USB, you could get a battery bank to recharge the GPS while you're away from power. Something like this would charge a GPS device many times.

The other options are a Delorme InReach or a Spot device which another poster mentioned. They last quite a bit of time, but also require a monthly service contract.

Looks like a sweet project! I bet you know all about tnttt.com. I've spent dozens of hours in awe at the builds on that site.

If you're only planning to run a few LED lights and charge our phone, might I suggest using a couple portable Li ion battteries. They're cheap, have plenty of juice, and require no fancy installation or wiring. They're chargeable at home, in a coffee shop, from your cigarette lighter, or from a small portable solar panel.

Keep us updated!

I know you weren't asking for a review, but these things are next-to-useless in an actual emergency. The batteries in these things are tiny; they barely give you a 20% charge. Which would be fine except the solar panel on it is only enough to maintain the clock on it. If you run it with the radio on in the sunshine it dies after about an hour. They're only useful as radios and when totally dead you still have to crank it constantly just to listen to the radio. It's not enough power.


Get a big USB power bank maybe? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G1XH46M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_aeQjybY0KK1KH

We just (September 2016) did kind of a similar ride down the Cascades from Klamath Falls to Truckee, and what you're bringing looks very similar to what we had. Some notes based on your list:

• Nights got down to the 30s (though it may be warmer in Washington?). I was happy to have a 20 degree sleeping bag; another guy we met along the way found it rather cold in a less-insulated bag.
  
  
• I'd only bring 2 pairs of socks and 2 undies - you can wash the extra pair and put it under a bungee to dry during the day. I'd go with fewer shirts as well: 2 short sleeve / 1 long sleeve is probably enough. I actually brought like 4 jerseys and 4 short sleeve shirts, and only used 3 jerseys and 2 shirts. Why 2 tights? In case one gets wet?
  
  
• YMMV, but I'd much prefer a down jacket to just a vest - my arms are what get cold!
  
  
• I like having a bladder rather than a third bottle - less space when you know you can get water along the way, and big ones can hold 3+ liters for when you suspect you can't get water.
  
  
• If the solar charger works for you, great. I read up on them a bit and it seemed like they were unreliable at best. Instead I went for a large-capacity battery (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G1XH46M) which is less bulky but perhaps heavier.
  
  I also liked keeping things organized in gallon ziplocks and / or lightweight dry bags.
  
  Regardless, have a blast!

I got this cheaper one just to get me through for now

Thanks, appreciate it.

The phone holder is just wireless charger.

The ipad holder is from Anker, but I don't believe they make it anymore. This is the closest thing to it that I could find.

The lamp

I use this Seneo with my G6:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H76NIAS

It's dual coil, seems fast enough for a wireless charger. Holds the phone at a nice angle.
Some good reviews from other G6 owners.

One thing to bear in mind about wireless chargers.. the phone won't be using Quick Charge for variable voltage/current 'gentle' charging. Battery temps are higher with inductive charging.

And the charger does not shut itself off @ 100% as many assume.. it will keep going until the battery controller terminates charging, which is usually a couple full hours beyond terminal battery voltage (4.36 on the G6), as will the wired charger. I wouldn't make a habit of leaving a QC phone on a charger overnight, wired or wireless. Kinda defeats the purpose of the battery-preserving QC tech.

Another thing about a wireless charger.. it won't increment the charge cycle count, which is the key indicator of battery age/lifetime. At least it doesn't on my G6, I expect that's generally the case.

==

Here's a dual-coil Seneo with an On/Off button. Allows use of the charger as a stand without continually charging the phone.

https://www.amazon.com/Seneo-Wireless-Certified-Compatible-Qi-Enabled/dp/B075KBCTX7

This for your phone and maybe something else beside it for the watch.

If you need the QC 3.0 power brick (The Samsung QC 2.0 brick does NOT power this charger to wireless fast charge), then get this.

I've actually not connected my wireless chargers to fast chargers purposefully to charge slower as I have them setup on my desk and bedside, where all I need is a trickle charge.

Nice work! This looks great! I just ordered a carriage plate that will hopefully have me back up and printing soon.

That said, just a quick heads up that I had an identical looking charger I used to use next to my bed, until one night I woke up and smelled burning plastic and realized it had melted into my night stand. I switched back to a wired charger thereafter. I still use wireless on my desk and other places I'm observing it, but be careful while you're sleeping!

I know my case is likely fairly rare. But these things as overnight chargers freak me out now.

This is the one that burned on me:

Go to Amazon and search for "wireless charger note 5".

Pretty much any of them will work. It just depends on how much you are willing to pay. If you can afford it, I would buy one of the wireless fast chargers such as this one.

Yes I’m using a Spigen Rugged Armour case and it works perfectly. Must add though to get the full 7.5w charging when 11.2 lands you’ll need to get a charging brick to match. I got the Anker one to go with it

Anker is a highly reputable brand and sells a well priced qi charger for around 20 USD. Would check it out on amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Wireless-Charger-Charging-Devices/dp/B00Y839YMU

I didn’t get the faster wireless charger because it also requires a more powerful charge adaptor which brings total cost to around 50 USD.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01KJL4XNY/ref=psdcmw_12557639011_t1_B00Y839YMU

It also isn’t confirmed at this point in time whether Apple will support fast charge for 3rd party chargers, so it’s a bit of a gamble right now as to whether you’ll be able to take advantage of the faster charge rate. Even then it’s not much faster compared to the first wireless charger if you can hook it up to an iPad charge adaptor.

Yep- wireless chargers definitely charge slower than cable, even if you buy the iPhone wireless charger may.

It depends on the controller the wireless charger has. I’ve had my anker charger for the past 2 weeks and been very happy with it. They have good technology to manage battery charge once it’s full, so wouldn’t worry about it affecting battery. Can’t speak to the other chargers though.

All in all, I use the wireless charger at work, it charges slower but the lack of cable makes it easier to pick up and use when needed, and is good for a top up during the day. However, I use the cable at night to charge because it’s quicker and I’m not moving around as much as I am in the office.

Fast charger does charge your phone faster, but over very long term you will see a very small amount more in battery degradation.

There are also great 3rd party fast wireless chargers you can buy. Here is one from Anker, they are a trusted company in charging periferals and I have this one on my sidetable next to my bed, charge my phone on it every night. Fast and extremely nice.

It's also $20, just like the one you linked

It's a bit pricey for the moment. Think I had gotten it for like 70. Definitely worth it.

(see USB C Hubs Portable Charger RAVPower 20100mAh 30W Type C iSmart 3.0 Data Transfer, USB C/Type C Port Output, Power Bank External Battery Pack for Smartphones, MacBook 12'' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0156HCJQO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_B0YCyb0GCAGF1)

1500mAh is only a 1.5A charge. That's standard for most battery packs, nothing great. My old Motorola P4000 charges at 1.5A.

This Anker 20,100mAh on Amazon is $79.99 (not Prime) and supports up to 2.4A on standard USB and 3A on Type-C.

Here's a similar Anker 20,100mAh one without Type-C for only $45.99 (Prime). It is limited to 2.4A like all standard USB ports though. It does come with the wall adapter too however.

There's also this 20,100mAh one from RavPower for $55.99 (Prime) that's the same capacity and 2.4A USB and 3A Type-C capability (except it also supports QuickCharge2.0)

Or this RavPower 26,800mAh behemoth for only $49.99 (Prime) without Type-C that will charge up to 2.4A via stadard USB.

Both of the RavPower devices have good reviews and I've never had an issue with them or Anker before.

Buy one of these babies https://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-RAVPower-20100mAh-Portable-External/dp/B0156HCJQO/ref=dp_ob_title_wld

It works wonders and has fast charge. And has plenty of juice for several other devices.

Good point, I did not consider the watts. My Anker PowerCore 10000 PD outputs 18W through USB-C, and it can charge my Nintendo Switch while I'm playing it. While I imagine that 30W would charge it even faster, I can say that 18W is fast enough for me.

If you really want 30W and PD, then you might consider looking into RAVPower, which has several low-cost solutions such as...

• RAVPower USB-C 20100 PD 30W ($42), or
  
• RAVPower USB-C 26800 PD 30W ($60), or even
  
• RAVPower USB-C 20100 PD 45W ($56)
  
  I personally have no experience with RAVPower, but you can compare a list of various power banks at https://switchchargers.com/power-banks/.

Is that just for the E495? Im picking up a X395 and looking to get a good power bank.

I dont know if wirecutter is still reputable (bought out a while ago), but they reccomend these:

And I know Anker is reputable, so was also looking at this:

Wierd, part # took me here: http://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-RAVPower-20100mAh-Portable-External/dp/B0156HCJQO#nav-search-keywords

RavPower 20100mAh has type c 5v/3a

What you are hearing about is the Type-A to Type-C USB.

The two powerbanks which I know of are: Anker and RavPower

Here is a Anker comparison of cable to stock. Updated PSA

Here is a discussion between those two.

There is(/was?) an issue with the USB-A to USB-C cable included in the Anker; however, if you use the Type-C to Type-C cable you should be fine. Additionally, Amazon now forbids non-compliant USB-A to USB-C, so you can go through them to get a fix

The RavPower is working great for me (when I need it).

I doubt it would, you really want a battery pack with USB C like this:

Amazon

It mentions being able to power the MacBook.

Is there a reason that charger and this one (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0156HCJQO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_YpoTybY2MEW3P) are the same price even though this one has so much less mAh? They both have USB-C PD, I can't figure out why the bigger one isn't a no brainer

Best,

Best you can legally carry on a airline flight,

Cheap one that will prevent the switch from dying while playing.

This is the one I use as a battery bank.

PD USB C Hubs Portable Charger RAVPower 20100 Power Bank 20100mAh 30W (Max.) Type C Port iSmart Data Transfer, USB C/Type C Output, External Battery Pack for MacBook, Laptops, Smartphones https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0156HCJQO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_NdbMAbJRCMEHF

I'm curious whether anyone has tried one of these USB-C battery packs that are advertised as able to charge a MacBook? No direct mention of USB Power Delivery on the specs, and the only reviewer so far to specifically mention a Dell laptop sounds like a blithering idiot.

I have the RAVPower 20100mAh Portable Charger and I highly recommend it, if you're using a backpack. It's too big to keep in your pocket.

It sports both Qualcomm Quick Charge and USB Type-C. The type C can both input and output, and it can pass-through charge (charge the brick while the brick charges your phone).

What I like the most about it is that you don't have to interact with it at all to start charging your phone. When you plug your phone in, it starts charging. When you remove your phone, it goes into standby.

13oz, 60 USD.

Oh, for the Anker I had a USB type A to USB type C cable. Not sure on 2.0 vs. 3.0.

I got this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0156HCJQO

Damn, I literally just ordered the one that was "benson approved"

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0156HCJQO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

What's the difference? They look the same, but they are not the same listing.

I've heard great things about this one. Picking one up for my 6p next friday! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0156HCJQO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2KUZVNQ9LP7N9

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0156HCJQO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2KUZVNQ9LP7N9

Thinking about jumping on it.

that package is a ripoff... you can buy the parts separately from Anker and its $10 cheaper...and you get a second usb-C cable.

and if you don't want the extra USB-C cable you can save another $10 by getting the wall adapter w/o the cable.

The Priv has a massive battery. Anker makes some great quick chargers that really make a difference. I'd recommend one at work and maybe a portable quick charger if your messenger bag/purse/backpack/whatever you carry. The Priv also supports wireless charging, so if you want a wireless charger on your desk that's an option, just make sure you put a hefty charger behind the wireless pad. I use a dock instead of wireless. Seems more functional to me.

As a side note, I kitted my portable charger out with 2x USB-micro B cables, a Lightning cable, and a micro-B to C adapter. Got sick of iPhone people always being dead and me saying I've got power if you've got a wire. Got the C adapter just to be inclusive. Haven't needed it yet.

I can't speak to the SD card but I have that case and love it! When it comes to the charger, based on recommendations I found on here and the nVidia forums, I picked up one of these and I couldn't be happier with it. The charging is incredibly fast with it!

I've actually gotten in the habit of placing it face down until I get a case backing for it to make it so the camera doesn't bulge out any more, so I only see the bar when I pick it up to check on it.

I searched around amazon.ca for some equivalents that were still both highly rated and reasonably priced, and here's what I found:

Charger: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B016LO4UTA

Cable: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01JPEKJYI

Hope those are okay, feel free to search around yourself if you'd like. The Priv has QuickCharge 2.0, but pretty much all 3.0 chargers are backwards compatible anyway, and I got a 3.0 one just to future-proof. I also have one of those external batteries that I love, for travel days or busy days or something, and you can find great ones with 16,000 mAh and QuickCharge for less than $30 now if you don't already have one.

I'm glad you're starting to love the phone! I've warmed up to it as well, and not just because the battery doubles as a space heater under heavy usage.

27w Aukey pd 3.0 starts around 70 gram / 2.5 oz, Anker around 100 gram / 3.5 oz.

To compare Anker QC 3.0 18w wall charger suitable for Anker Powercore II 10.000 mAh (190 gram / 6.7 oz) with a full recharge time of minimum 4 hours comes in around 70 gram / 2.5 oz. with no MFI lightning cable.

No free lunch.. but potential to save 2-2.5 hours charging your powerbank everytime you are in town :)

That combo is a fast (within 5%) as cable charging for me on my S7 Edge.

I use this anker qc 3.0 charger. Since i have around 20 microusb cables, I got Anker Usb-C to MicroUsb adapter and I haven't noticed any issues, charges fast and works well.

Is this the one you're referring to? I'm interested in purchasing it, but am holding off bc I'm worried it won't quick charge my phone. I planned to purchase an Anker USB-A to USB-C cable to use with it too.


Do this particular adapter work fine with the stock LG cable that comes with the phone?

I bought this cable and this plug and have no issues with fast charging.

As others have said try contacting LG.

Failing that you can get a good quality quick charge 3.0 charger realatively cheep.

This is simply not true. The Asus Transformer T100 with Intel Atom SOC supports Quick Charge. Anker has a partial list of Quick Charge compliant devices that includes it. Look, see for yourself:

I been using these since August last year with no issues

My nintendo switch is arriving today while at work =)

But I was curious for charging the switch it uses USB-C? correct?

I would like to keep one at home, and then one with me at all times while travelling and maybe one at work so can charge.

Do you know if this adapter will work?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016LO4UTA

I use this for my galaxy s8+ and works well with a USB-C cable

and this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016LO4UTA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

For fast charging. Its SO small. I can take it anywhere.

I have this cable and charger and they've worked incredibly well:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016LO4UTA
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LNAAEJ2

I have an inverter in our car and was able to use the Switch (BotW) on a 7 hour trip without the charge dropping below 100%. Obviously works just as well when plugged into the wall.

I have the older version (no longer available) of this Anker charger. Works perfectly. https://amzn.com/B016LO4UTA

BTW for my fellow Canucks - it is now available on Amazon.ca - https://www.amazon.ca/charger-Nekteck-Charger-Adapter-Integrated/dp/B0172QQNBY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484008402&sr=8-1&keywords=Nekteck+usb-c

Just bought this one that has a built in USB-C cable, plus a slot for another USB cable of your own:

• Car charger - Nekteck ( https://www.amazon.com/charger-Nekteck-Charger-Adapter-Integrated/dp/B0172QQNBY )

I apparently saved the Nekteck charger mentioned in the thread you linked to, not the charger that you linked.

The Blitzwolf is apparently a rebranding of the charger I linked in this comment.

My fault.

https://www.amazon.com/charger-Nekteck-Charger-Adapter-Integrated/dp/B0172QQNBY

Yeah that's the only thing holding me back is they haven't reviewed it. But the reviews are great and I haven't heard any issues.

I recently bought this charger and am really happy with it. I get rapid charging in the car which is usually when I need it most. Definitely recommend it.

Not to my experience. I can access the advanced battery settings and disable fast charge easily. Since I tested wireless charging that option now appears as well.

The Fast charge option is only lit if connected to a compatible charger, doesn't matter if its a sammy or not.

As for the Car Charger, I'm using This

I got this one:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0172QQNBY

Works perfectly. Looks like a quality item, arrives in a very nice box, all shiny, no mould marks.

The one that is referenced by people for Benson is this one:

https://www.amazon.com/charger-Nekteck-Charger-Adapter-Integrated/dp/B0172QQNBY

No official review, but in a comment in this thread, he says: "I haven't been reviewing car chargers as much as the A-to-C cables, but I like the Nekteck 5.4A charger. I use it day to day with my 5X." Take that as you will.

Here is the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0172QQNBY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It does rapid charging on a pixel 5"

Purchased this one about a month ago for my travels, zero issues, quality is better than average, no excessive heating of attached cord. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0172QQNBY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Living in Los Angeles.

With this charger, I can have my N5X running navigation, bluetooth, and pandora with my phone fully charged. Amazon says I purchased this in July 2016, so it's been a good 3 months or so worth of usage with no problems for me.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0172QQNBY

I know its not exactly what you asked for, but its the closest I've found and its worked for me. Type-C Built in with second Type-A port. It's 5.4 amps shared, so if you have a compativle A to C cable, both phones should be able to rapid charge.

I've got this thing and it charges just as fast as the stock wall charger. Cable is built in for about the same price as other chargers with no cable. Has an extra 'A' port too that is supposed to work full speed at the same time, but I've never tried that.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0172QQNBY

I only have the Nekteck

I bought the coiled version, but it didn't charge anywhere near 3a, according to Ampere. So, I returned it to Amazon.

Another good one on Amazon that I purchased has worked great.

Thanks for the review. Mine just got delivered today so gotta wait til after work to test. Mainly got this so I could charge and use aux at the same time. Which car charger did you go with? I went with this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0172QQNBY/ because others on XDA said it turbo charged.

I have the latter at my office for the phone. It comes with a USB-C cable as well.

I have two questions:

1. You would need something like the following to charge the PowerCore, correct?
   
   https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CJ90J6O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_FMW3ybP4J5ZZB
   
   
2. I travel a lot and keep a crappy 2-port Powerocks wall-charger/battery. I use it to charge my phone and alternate charging my watch and iPad. If I got this PowerCore, could I plug it into the wall and use it to charge my phone, watch, and Switch? Something on Amazon suggested it doesn't support pass-through charging?

This is the charger i got when my OG Pixel charger died (supports quick charge)

Good luck with your search, enjoy Canada!

Just a charger? It's hard to go wrong with Anker.

USB-C might charge it faster than a fast regular USB charger, but a regular charger might be more universal for other stuff you have. Some ideas:

If you're not getting a Pro Controller, you might want a USB to USB C cable if you don't already have one:

I ended up getting this USB c to USB c charger for my switch. Anyone know if this will be able to charge and play at the same time?

Anker products are solid
But converting that price makes me thing it costs a lot in India?
Maybe you can find it elsewhere for cheaper, it is about $15-20 in US and Europe

... Well perhaps they are not following spec? Standard usb c - c cable is delivering 9v to the phone.

Does this work? https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Type-C-Charger-PowerPort/dp/B01CJ90J6O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503504062&sr=8-1&keywords=Universal+22.5W+Dual+Port+USB+Type-C+Charger

and the charger that came with the lg V20 is 2.0
I wanted to see just how much faster my phone could charge
but it doesn't even register as fast charging
if anything it takes about the same time if not longer the the stock charger

I have the Anker PowerPort+. Let's me fast charge my Pixel 2 as well several other devices that still use a USB A cable.

If you just need one port then give this one a shot.

My bad, I seem to have misread it.

Tronsmart wall charger

Ankler

Google's dual port charger or the regular OEM one.

So do you think this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01CJ90J6O/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 charger I just bought will be okay? Also this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00WJSPFOW/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 cable as well.

My bad on the note 7 thing. Looking back I meant the HTC 10 and the G5, just couldn't remember at the time. and yes I'm sure. I;ve had multiple qc2 phones and I was able to tell a difference by sheer speed. And if c to c isn't supported with qc3 then why are there are chargers for it? This is the charger I use.

I always got the magnetic ones.

I have this one in my Civic

and this one in my ranger.

I just ordered this one to replace the on in my Ranger, as my new phone does iQ wireless charging

the benefit with all of these mounts is I can just toss my phone at my dashboard and it sticks, no arms to adjust, no springloaded mechanisms to go flying, I just put my steel plate between the case of my phone and the phone, and never have any issues.

As far as falling off, the one in my ranger has a pretty stout magnet, and the dashboard vibrates like crazy, I haven't ever had it fall off, and my phone is one of the heavier smart phones on the market.

I have one of these and while it does work great as a mount, it sure enough did kill my wireless charging. So I'd avoid that. I tried adjusting where the metal was under my case (UAG Plasma), but I noticed it didn't stay put that well unless the metal was placed in the center of my phone. So unfortunately I don't have wireless charging anymore. Which sucks because I miss just putting my phone down at night in it's cradle and being done with it.

Magnetic Mount, WizGear [2 PACK] Universal Air Vent Magnetic Car Mount Phone Holder, for Cell Phones and Mini Tablets with Fast Swift-Snap Technology, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G0X56YU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_1NIDjc46vFkBH

My wife and I have been using this magnetic car mount from Wizgear. They also have a vent mounted model

I was originally against them as I didn't want to stick the metal plate on the back of my phone but since I'm using a case to protect my Pixel...it's hidden.

I really like how easy it is to just touch my phone to the mount and it stays there. Since we are both using the same setup, we can mount either phone in either car. I liked this so much, I picked up a couple of these desktop stands. I've got one on my desk at work and at home. I like having my phone elevated off the desk.

A bonus use with the desktop stand, they have some decent weight and I'm able to use them with my 10.1" tablet (in landscape) without them tipping over.

Edit: Darn it! I didn't realize the desktop stand was available in a gloss black vs the chrome.

Edit 2: You keep a 2nd phone mount in your car for passengers? I've never heard of anyone doing that.

Is it magnetic? If it is, it’s for this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G0X56YU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_8CFJBbM8C1881

I use one of these. Works amazingly and my phone stays put https://smile.amazon.com/Magnetic-WizGear-Universal-Swift-Snap-Technology/dp/B01G0X56YU?keywords=magnet+phone+car+mount&qid=1540821492&sr=8-3&ref=sr_1_3

I just got this one, it's a magnetic mount but it's really strong and it clips onto my vents pretty well. The only thing I dont like is that you cant tilt your phone but luckily my vent is in a nice spot. the second link is one i found after, you can tighten the clip on that one and tilt your phone which is nice.

Not as cool, but a life changer for me

get a magnetic one

the ones you have to pincer onto your phone are a pain

https://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-WizGear-Universal-Swift-Snap-Technology/dp/B01G0X56YU/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_107_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=K3AY1929QNR0HWE2FK8H

I bought this,

https://www.67d.com/collections/mounts/products/cf-carbon-fiber-series-simple-ball-mount

and already had this.

https://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-WizGear-Universal-Swift-Snap-Technology/dp/B01G0X56YU/

Popped the magnet away from the base, two part epoxy, and some binder paper clips overnight, and it's rock solid. The magnet the kit comes with I found way too weak to hold the phone up and I have a smaller iphone 5S. The wrangler suspension doesn't help. But since I swapped it out for a more powerful magnet, it's amazing. I love it.

I got this from Wizgear. Holds pretty well onto my vents, and the magnet is pretty strong to do its job. It has never fallen off for about a year now that I had it.

Naked naked? The glossy slippery back is tough to hold it's not even so much about magnetic strength but just it's lack of friction. I'd recommend getting a dbrand skin or something similar for the back. Will hold much better and frankly just looks better while not having fingerprints smearing. Also better grip.

I use something similar to THIS with a dbrand skinned S8 and it holds fine. Slips otherwise.

There are many better options to both of those. The ones you stuff in the air vents are decent.

I just used double sided tape and affixed a magnetic holder to my dash and stick my phone to that.

The round part from this type of mount: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G0X56YU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_8S0aBbGRF3ZGM

They come with a small metal plate you slip in your phone case.

I use this and I like it! My phone stays connected to the magnet while the bottom of my phone rests on the dash, via the vent clip. I'm in Florida, but I don't really have a problem with lack of air flow due to the phone being right in front of the vent. I went this route because I didn't want to stick any adhesive on the dash or window.

You are correct regarding the internet connection being required for the Chromecast.

What about an android box w/Plex installed? I don't have much experience with them, admittedly, but something like this might work: https://www.amazon.com/Greatever-Newest-T98-pro-Android/dp/B07786HKN2/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1518798925&sr=1-5&keywords=android+box&dpID=519PPlBu2fL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Then connect the android box to a battery pack: https://www.amazon.com/RAVPower-Portable-22000mAh-Li-polymer-Smartphone/dp/B01G1XH46M/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1518799026&sr=1-4&keywords=usb+battery+pack&dpID=31p6oM25MUL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Keep the battery pack charging via USB and also keep the android box connected to the battery pack. If you are concerned with draining your car battery you can use an on/off switch - same goes for draining the usb charge pack.

Two of these would be all you need to switch on/off when entering/exiting the vehicle: https://www.amazon.com/JBtek-Male-Female-Cable-Switch/dp/B00UR321B6/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1518798833&sr=1-3&keywords=usb+on+off

Sync to the Android box and enjoy offline...

EDIT: Sounds like your power to the battery pack is switched on/off by the key position, right? Then you could eliminate the first usb switch and not worry about draining your battery. Just turn off the switch between android and charge pack when exiting (overnight, for example) so you don't drain that pack.

I just ordered this one yesterday., it was delivered today.

I bought this sucker earlier this month (and it was also a tad cheaper). Needless to say my brother, friends, and I love it.

I see what you're saying, and I've gone for spells without a smartphone. It's great, and it only requires a bit more forward planning. These devices are not a necessary part of day to day life (hell, not even cell phones are necessary - you can just get a home landline and it would serve every purpose one needs a cell phone for). They just make some things more convenient, and also open up the possibility of pitfalls.

However, I had found just having a smartphone with useful apps on it is probably the way to go. Smartphones last longer when you're not using them for everything, and you can extend their battery life for nearly a week with one of these guys if you really want to. I barely touch my phone now, even though I have apps for my audiobooks, music, and podcasts on it. I only really use those apps when I'm in my car (when I'd be listening to a radio) or in my kitchen (when I'd be listening to a stereo). Otherwise I have a device which still allows me to access GPS, has a built-in flashlight and calculator, and the possibility to look something up in an emergency (usually, phone numbers).

None of these things are necessary, but they make things a lot more convenient. If you can't restrain yourself to use the more timewasting apps, then it may be a decent idea to ditch the smartphone, even if for a period of time, but beyond that, they are a useful tool.

• 7" Touchscreen
  
• Touchscreen Case
  
• 15+ hour battery
  
  The screen draws its power from the Pi's 5v GPIO, so you should only have to plug the Pi into the battery. With this setup plus a USB/Bluetooth controller, you should have a fully-portable setup with no nasty wire mess!

I took this last month in carry-on:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G1XH46M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And went from the US > Beijing > Shanghai > Taipei > Hong Kong > US without any problems.

Sorry to be a bit ignorant. Not super used to powerbanks. I ordered this one:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G1XH46M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

so I could charge my Switch on the plane for a work trip I have very soon. I noticed that the page doesn't state that they're quick charge or fast charge ports, but it does claim that they're iSmart ports. Should this (theoretically, of course) mean it should be okay to use? Thanks for the help in advance.

I've been using this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G1XH46M

Thanks for the response. I actually have power figured out, since I got one of these bad boys to power it with during the ride: https://amzn.com/B01G1XH46M
Should get me ~20x the battery life.

The odd thing is that even the Samsung site says "up to 16 hours 20 minutes of Full HD video" (link: http://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/memory-cards/micro-sd-pro-128gb-memory-card-w-adapter-mb-md128da-am/). Now I could totally see it being off by an hour or so, but over 30% seems like a lot.

Also, the GoPro site for some of the other GoPros have times listed as 4h20m per 32gb card (x4 would be 17h20m) (link: https://gopro.com/support/articles/recording-time-in-each-video-setting).

I have this: https://www.amazon.com/Seneo-Wireless-Charger-Fast-Charging/dp/B01H76NIAS/ref=sr_1_9?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1511230757&sr=1-9&keywords=wireless+charger

I facetime my girlfriend a lot and it's a perfect way to charge my phone and facetime at the same time without having to touch it. Allows me to browse my computer while facetiming (I do not have a mac).

Also, it's incredibly convenient to just pick things up and put it back down at a set location. I use wireless charging when I'm at work and I come to my desk.

Sure the charging itself doesn't save that much time. But the fact that you can just drop your phone on the charger means I am more likely to charge my phone. It's just for the convenience. There are benefits for both types of chargers and yes, a downside to wireless chargers is that you lose the capability of charging while browsing/playing games/etc.

They're not for everything, but for the vast majority of people they're pretty damn useful in a lot of different ways.

I can't find the exact model I bought but it looks a LOT like this one:

I have two and they work amazing.

Why don't you just pay $10 more and buy a wireless fast charger?

https://www.amazon.com/Seneo-Wireless-Charger-Fast-Charging/dp/B01H76NIAS/ref=pd_sbs_107_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01H76NIAS&pd_rd_r=46EN4FXF6ERE390B7MR2&pd_rd_w=CLTsX&pd_rd_wg=u3zNA&psc=1&refRID=46EN4FXF6ERE390B7MR2

Not sure about that one, but I use [this] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H76NIAS?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf) one and it's been great.

I have this one

I really like it as it works horizontal or vertical.

Here's the options. Either your case is messing it up, the charger is faulty, or it's not centered properly on the charger. I use a Seneo Wireless Charger that I bought way back for the Note 7. Still works fine, but I do have issues if its not centered properly.

https://www.amazon.com/Seneo-Wireless-Certified-Charging-Compatible/dp/B01H76NIAS/ref=sr_1_9?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1535838925&sr=1-9&keywords=wireless+charger

I've had it for about four months and haven't seen any cons with it. I use my work computer to charge it, UT you can easily buy an AC adapter as well. It's not included.

https://www.amazon.com/Seneo-Fast-Wireless-Charger-Sleep-Friendly/dp/B01H76NIAS/ref=sr_1_7?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1492008871&sr=1-7&keywords=fast+wireless+charger

If you only want USB-C

https://www.amazon.com/Mothca-Delivery-Charger-Adapter-Samsung/dp/B078Z9Z19V/

If you want both:

https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Charger-Delivery-MacBook-Samsung/dp/B076VTVH5H/

But if you're wanting something to use at work, I would go for this. It's not quick charge, but its fast enough and still keeps your phone easy to see while sitting out of the way.

I bought this one from Amazon and it has not failed me yet. Only thing you need a wall adapter as it only comes with the cable.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H76NIAS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Q5.TAbSMR2JR7

Give this one a try. I got two and they're great Seneo Qi-Certified 10W Fast Wireless Charger for Galaxy Note10/Note 9/S10/S9/S8, Standard for iPhone 11/11 Pro MAX/XR/XS MAX/XS/X/8/8P/LG V30/V40/Google Pixel 3(No AC Adapter) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H76NIAS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_5SF0DbWN0FNAK

There is nothing to be for Apple to do better than every other company despite being directed by the hand of god and completely infallible. It is a standard. The in phone component is not designed by Apple.

Sure you can get cheap charging pads that will melt when your phone is on it, but you can also get cheap charging pads (with "fast charge") that really don't produce any heat anyway.

This is the one I have a couple of now and it and the phone never noticably heat up. With Fast Charge AC plug/Without. I always see it on sale like this.

I bought their other model and it works fine as well. Not sure what the difference between the two is though.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H76NIAS/ref=psdc_12557639011_t1_B01M0IL0QX

Well, the original listing I bought it from is gone: [link] but it showed me a picture of a dog so I'm not upset.
However, it is very similar to [this one] (so similar I'm fairly confident they're the same product).

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N1WRNOB

Or without the adapter:

https://www.amazon.com/Seneo-Wireless-Charger-Fast-Charging/dp/B01H76NIAS

Charges my S8 only slightly slower than QC3 wired.

What your talking about is my wireless charger that the Note is sitting on?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01H76NIAS?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Then I have 2 USB switches to turn charging on and off on the FiiO hardware so I don't wear out the USBs or possibly even break them.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JU24Z3W/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_track_package_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Sorry if it was confusing. I meant is there a wireless charger like this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H76NIAS/ref=crt_ewc_img_dp_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A24QHZSKPYNZBC

that supports fast charging for the iPhone X.

I had this one

I ordered it on the 4th and then when the phone came out they had to issue the new one you linked. I had bad timing I guess =(

Mine is stuck right under the samsung logo, slightly off center and I use this charger

I don't use a case though so that's probably it. Since I got comfortable with the popsocket I haven't felt the need for one, pretty much impossible for me to drop it unless someone/something knocks it out of my hands relatively forcefully

I use this one and the light is barely noticeable in my room.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01H76NIAS?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

This was my first one and this was my second. Both work really well.

Been looking at this one for my X along with one from Anker. Do you know if the one from Anker also has a similar kind of indicator?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KJL4XNY/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1

I buy everything related to charging from Anker. Best portable chargers, wall chargers, cables etc. in my opinion.

Haven’t use their wireless charge pad but they make great stuff. Says it’s Amazon’s Choice. Only complaint seems to be you can’t jus throw it on but you learn where the sweet spot is.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KJL4XNY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_lNweAbPB50M5G

Get a charging pad (like this one that I have: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Wireless-PowerPort-Charging-Qi-Enabled/dp/B01KJL4XNY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1495810599&sr=8-4&keywords=anker+wireless+charger ) and lay the phone, screen up, on it. Just make sure you put the middle of the phone on the pad. Small piece of advice if you get one for work you may want one for home as you'll become spoiled.

This would be the only way to do that.

Non-USBC ports do not support charging and host mode at the same time. The best you can do is power the DAC with an external power source to take load off the phone's battery.

I have two wireless chargers that I like:

• The official Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Charging Stand. It's got a fan in it that cools the charger (and phone) while it's charging. I have this on my desk at work; it's convenient because I can interact with the phone easily without taking it off the charger.
  
• Anker's Fast Wireless Charger. It's got a temperature sensor inside and will cut back on the power flow if it gets too warm.
  
  I try to charge my phone through wireless charging as much as possible during the day; my last two phones died because their USB ports failed and I'd like to avoid a repeat occurrence. On the other hand, I plug my phone in at night precisely because charging heats the battery and wireless power always charges the battery. (USB power charges the battery until it's full, then stops and just runs the phone off the USB power, leaving the battery to cool down.)

Seems like the stands either come at a premium or are kind of shady, but there's a few.

​

Decent reviews on this: https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Charging-RAVPower-Compatible-Qi-Enabled/dp/B079NZ1JN2/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1539200579&sr=8-8&keywords=10w+qi+charger

​

And this seems okay, as well: https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Seneo-Certified-Standard-Charging/dp/B071FNL73K/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1539200579&sr=8-3&keywords=10w+qi+charger&dpID=41f8Kuh-YhL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

​

If you don't mind a pad, Anker is probably the best bet: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Qi-Certified-PowerPort-Compatible-Fast-Charging/dp/B01KJL4XNY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1539200957&sr=8-3&keywords=10w+qi+charger&dpID=41BIHJhrbLL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

​

And here's a super cheap 5w one from a decent company, just to show everyone how cheap these things can get and to not fall for Google's Apple tactics: https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Charger-YOUSTOO-Charging-Qi-Enabled/dp/B01N59M4EC/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1539201080&sr=8-13&keywords=10w+qi+charger

As long as you buy a Qi charger or wireless charger that has higher watt outputs yes. Most of those wireless chargers don’t go higher than 7.5W. I found this one
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KJL4XNY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_UJk-BbP768BW

Which says it’s 10W but I haven’t seen any wireless chargers that are higher than that.

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Wireless-Charging-Qi-Certified-PowerWave/dp/B07GYR8SGQ?ref_=ast_sto_dp

That one is 40 now up to 15w

And here's one for 29.99 up to 11 w

https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Qi-Certified-PowerPort-Compatible-Fast-Charging/dp/B01KJL4XNY/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?keywords=anker+wireless+charging+pad+metal&qid=1572903241&sr=8-8

I have a basic Samsung pad one, probably two or three years old now, but still works fine and Anker makes really good ones too! I've got this one from Anker. I'm also considering upgrading my work desk one to this one because it'd be easier to look at the phone. If you're in the US, Anker should easily be available on Amazon too. Other brands that are good are Belkin and Aukey :)

They make a version of that adapter that will allow for charging, but the reviews indicate that it doesn't work for everyone.

You could also use the wireless charging on the phone, those have become very cheap.

You could also probably find a wireless bluetooth receiver that you can plug your headphones into. The one below is wired, but would work if you are stationary.

https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Bluetooth-4-0-Audio-Receiver/dp/B00I59VBH4/

I highly suggest a Ram Mount.

You'll need 3 pieces to make it work for your bike.

First, you'll need a base. I use this one: http://www.amazon.com/RAM-Motorcycle-Base-Hole-Ball/dp/B0012TRIY4/ref=sr_1_25?ie=UTF8&qid=1404890887&sr=8-25&keywords=Ram+Mount

But there are other bases available. Check out what Ram has and pick which suits you best.

Next, you'll need an arm that attaches to the base. Ram has 3 different lengths available but they look like this: http://www.amazon.com/Mounts-Composite-Double-Socket-RAP-B-201U/dp/B0074WMQLS/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1404890870&sr=8-9&keywords=Ram+Mount

And the last thing you'll need is mount. I use the X-Grip which looks like this: http://www.amazon.com/RAM-Universal-X-Grip-Holder-1-Inch/dp/B0055PH0XA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404890870&sr=8-1&keywords=Ram+Mount

But I use it for my cell phone and not a GPS.

If the X-Mount isn't suitable for your GPS unit, you could see if Ram has a specific bracket for your particular GPS from their website which you could find here: http://www.rammount.com/Products/GPSMounts/tabid/135/Default.aspx#/

But if you go that route, you'll need a 4th piece to attach the bracket to and it looks like this: http://www.amazon.com/RAM-Mounts-RAM-B-238-2-43-Diamond/dp/B002KO5XVU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1404891383&sr=8-5&keywords=Ram+Mount

Hope this helps out and good luck.

BTW, how do you like the GW250? I am very interested in getting one of those.

I got you fam. Fits my note 10+ in a symmetry otterbox case with room for more if needed.

Or rig up something with a Ram x mount

Ram Mount X Grip for iPhone 6s.

I post this to get feedback from riders who used the Ram X Grip with an iPhone 6s (not plus).

According to Amazon reviews, the original x grip interferes with the volume/power buttons of iPhone 6s ( and apparently 6s + too).

Then Ram offered the x grip large apparently to better fit iPhone 6 + and 6s + and other large droids.

I noticed that there are reviews that reported the same previous problem with interference with volume buttons of iPhone 6s even with the newer mount.

Any thoughts? Did it work for you just fine? Or is there another RAM alternative? I don't use a case for my iPhone.

I'm planning on pairing this with the RAM tough claw on an 07 FZ1.

I got the Ram Mount X-Grip. I had read a ton of reviews and it seemed that it could hold just about any phone and be sturdy enough over time. It's been about 6 months now and I still love it.

http://www.amazon.com/Cradle-Holder-Universal-X-Grip-Cellphone/dp/B0055PH0XA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407006350&sr=8-1&keywords=ram+cell+phone+mount

OOH, You are just the person I need!

The actual mounting part: Can you unscrew the ring around that balljoint to put in a different ball joint?

I want to use this instead of something that attaches to the L-hook bracket thing.

None of their compatible phone holders that attach to the actual mounting bracket appeal to me.

Picture because easier.

So my setup is similar to /u/RocketGrouch but a bit more rudimentary. The over view is Ram mount, usb cable, battery tender pigtail to usb connector.

Ram mount parts I used: handlebar mount, connector bracket, phone holder.

I already had a battery tender setup, so figured using this was a no brain-er.

Then I used these cloth braided cables. Didn't know how much length I'd need, but the 6.5 feet was perfect for my use. Allowed me to tuck it around my tank, under my speedo housing shroud and discretely to the handle bars without slack that would risk getting caught.

Certainly not the prettiest solution out there, but I only use this set-up sparingly and store it in my rear bag.

This one doesn't look bad

edit: wrong link, fixed it

I have a [tank bag] (http://www.wunderlichamerica.com/motorcycle/S1000RR/1250216.html) that is for the BMW S1000RR, my friends asked where I got it and how useful it is, and also they commented how it just fits the bike and does not standout like other tank bags.


This [ram mount] (http://www.amazon.com/Ram-Mount-Motorcycle-1-Inch-Black/dp/B001RHVS8I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421034910&sr=8-1&keywords=ram+mount+triple+tree) with this [cell phone holder] (http://www.amazon.com/Cradle-Holder-Universal-X-Grip-Cellphone/dp/B0055PH0XA). You can use the ram mount with other ball joint mounting system such as placing your action cam on it for a bike's PoV shot.

Ram stuff is totally worth the price. Start here and click through. You might get lucky and find they have an exact holder for your device. If not I used the X-Grip both on my HD (LOTS of vibrations) and now in my truck.

I use the Sena smh10r. Just dont attach the mic and hide the mic connection behind the padding. And the Ram x has done me good so far.

At first I only used this Cardo Scala G4 which installs into almost any helmet. Now I mainly use it just for music. The playback controls are super easy.

Very recently I added a Battery Tender cigarette adapter along with this Ram Handle Bar Base and my existing Ram X-Grip Mountwith a 1" socket arm. I just took it on a good 2 day ride and loved it completely.

It depends what phone you have, whether you want to charge and use it in the rain, short or long journeys.

quadlock is good if they make a case for your phone otherwise you have to stick a universal adapter to the back of the phone/case. If you stick it to a case it has to be a flat smooth case otherwise it might come off.

Ultimateaddons make some strong waterproof cases, good for long journeys or they do a universal mount and lots of different fittings.

Other universal mount options which you fit to your bike using different RAM mounts are Cliff-Top and RAM X-Grip.

The Ram Monut suctoin cups are beefy. They're about the size of the ones glass guys use to handle huge panes of glass, like for a storefront. You do need to keep the window clean and dry where you attach it, but once you do, it doesn't come off.

Here are the parts I used in my CJ:

[xgrip] (http://www.amazon.com/RAM-Universal-X-Grip-Holder-1-Inch/dp/B0055PH0XA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1375301187&sr=8-2&keywords=ram+mount)

arm

ball/base

Altogether, it costs about $40, but that's not a crazy price for an in-car phone mount, and they don't get much tougher than these (though they do make a bigger series that the company I work for use to mount Android tablets to farm equipment)

You may want a longer arm, depending on where you would bolt it, but I have mine in my CJ right behind my steering wheel so I can use it as a speedometer, since my stock speedo is rather inaccurate. There are many other parts available, so hunt around amazon. I'm not sure if they're available anywhere else; this is the only place I've been able to find them.

Good luck!

ram mounts are nice. this one also needs the attachment to your bike.

These are the three pieces I bought. You can pick different arm lengths, depending on where you think you will be placing it:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012TWRAO/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UGZTQO/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055PH0XA/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yep. I use the x-grip for my phone, though I use a different base mount. Bought earlier this year and I've done a couple thousand miles with it now -- I really like it.

Here's my full setup: base, arm, grip
