It's not hard

Just use a USB A -> USB C cable? https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-USB-C-Black-Feet/dp/B00S8GU2OC

first world solutions: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S8GU2OC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

USB C male to A male cable, like this. You can use a type A hub if you wish.

The spec is only limiting USB C female ports, they have to be native USB C.

I looked up my Amazon order history it's this one:

Cable Matters Ultra Slim Series USB-C Cable (USB C Cable) in Black 3.3 Feet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S8GU2OC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_uOO7Ab4QXB7N0

yes on the encryption front.

check out this excellent guide on how to root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206930
if you haven't done anything like this before, word of advice: watch a couple of youtube tutorials (from start to finish, don't leeroy jenkins it) so you know what to expect. you'll need a usb cable to connect it to a computer. see: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/3ri9ew/the_google_engineer_who_reviews_the_usb_a_to_usb/

I bought this one and am happy with it:
http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters%C2%AE-USB-C-USB-A-Black/dp/B00S8GU2OC

after some experimentation, i decided to go ahead and do a "traditional" root instead of the systemless one. there appeared to be few limitations with the systemless root (i.e. i couldn't use an app called Secure Settings with it) and the android pay tradeoff seemed worth it. I like being a nerd, but that doesn't mean that everybody behind me in line at starbucks has to know that. I'm fine just pulling out my wallet.

it's an easy process. just follow the directions and you'll be fine

Or you could save money and get any other USB type C wall adapter and cable. These are just examples but I'm sure there are even cheaper combinations. Don't pay more for something that says nyko on it.

Wall adapter

Cable

Edit:

More

options

It took me a while to figure this out but you don't. There are a couple of options.

1. You can load a virtual machine onto your PC and load MacOS onto it then you can use XCode to sideload Kodi onto it. The only drawbacks are that unless you have a paid developers account ($99/Year) it will only last you about 90 Days before having to re-sideload Kodi back onto the device.
   
   Here is the link to a guide: http://macdrug.com/install-mac-os-x-yosemite-in-vmware-inside-window-pc/
   
   
2. Which is a much easier method is to use a third party app signing service like iPwnStore to load Kodi onto your device. It's only $12 or something like that for the year and you do not need MacOS to complete the sideload. I've used them multiple times with no issues. You will however need a USB-A to USB-C cable you can get from Amazon for pretty cheap.(https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Type-USB-C-Black/dp/B00S8GU2OC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1474921776&sr=8-3&keywords=usb+a+to+c)
   
   Link to iPwnStore website: https://tv.ipwnstore.me/home.html
   
   You will get the instructions emailed to you after completing your purchase at the iPwnStore.
   
   Video for Installing Kodi from iPwnStore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahWMa77O7cU
   
   It is a bit of a pain to go through all this but I feel like it's worth it. I love having Kodi on my Apple TV.
   
   Hope this helps.
   
   

In preparation for my 5x's arrival, I've ordered the following:

• Aukey Dual 2.4a car charger Coupon code WZE6JCXG to get it for $5.99
  
• USB A to C 3.3ft cable
  
• 2 pack Micro USB to Usb C adapters
  
• Diztronic tpu case
  
• Pleson Tempered Glass Screen Protector
  
  Hopefully some of my time and effort make your searching a little bit easier.

  EDIT2: CABLE MATTERS IS STILL SHIPPING OUT OF SPEC CABLES AVOID THEM

Even for those, can't you just use a USB-C to USB-A cable if you wanted to charge or connect to the front panel? Something like this for example?

https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Type-USB-C-Black/dp/B00S8GU2OC

(Genuinely asking, I've never had anything with USB-C before so not sure how it works)

Hey man, mind giving me a link to the USB C-A cable you got? I've tried googling it but all that I come up with was --> this and I'm really not sure if its the right one... Not that familiar with the different usb types there is.

I have updated to the October Android patch and used this cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S8GU2OC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (the 3.3-foot version), and Android Auto now works.

I know that isn't super-helpful, since I don't know which factor which fixed it, but it is now working in our 2017 Chevy Cruze.

Maybe try Amazon.

I really feel bad for you... a type c from laptop still counts for quick charge 4.0+. I almost never used the power brick; oh and the transfer speeds are ridiculous. Keep that in mind when you will buy your next laptop.
Something like this should do

You know I thought maybe you might have lol.


This is the one I’m using

Cable Matters USB-C Cable (USB A to USB C Cable/USB C to USB Cable) in Black 3.3 Feet for Samsung Galaxy S9/S8/Note 8, LG G6/V30, Nintendo Switch, Google Pixel/Nexus 5X/6P and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S8GU2OC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Izj5Cb73CGHVJ

The 3.3 ft cable is maybe too small. For me it’s almost perfect but with the battery in my pocket sometimes when looking up I can feel the weight of the power bank. So I might need the longer cable or simply adjust where I carry the battery.

As a consumer, there's a competing product that looks to be of better quality for a cheaper price. This one is a more expensive than the one previously listed, however its still cheaper than yours and has 632 reviews - https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Type-USB-C-Black/dp/B00S8GU2OC

Here's another one that didn't make this list, but Benson has his review as being compliant.

Here's his review

No, but I was probably just going to plug this charger into the adapter. I also bought this as a backup.

I don't really know the first thing about adapters, chargers, etc. so feel free to call me out if I made a mistake there. I still have a few more days to make another purchase before the trip.

it's just a usb-a to usb-c cable. The link is below but really I picked it because it was one of the cheapest ones with decent ratings on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S8GU2OC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Any USB type C cable should work. I bought this particular cable and have had no problems:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S8GU2OC/ref=od_aui_detailpages02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Have you tried a different cable?



I've not had AA crash once on my P2XL.



EDIT - This is the cable I am using

I bought this cable for $6 and use it with an iPad power brick. Works perfect and was super cheap.

Confused about USB-C cables. If i bought a USB-C cable on Amazon and plug it into a brick that goes into the wall to charge my switch, will it hurt the switch? Should i stick to the charger that came with it?

This is the cord: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00S8GU2OC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

USB-C cable

USB-A to USB-C cable

you could use just a straight usb-a <--> usb-c cable, such as https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Type-USB-C-Black/dp/B00S8GU2OC

Thats how I connect my nexus 5x to my pc :)

you wont even need a type C port on the bank; you should be just fine a cable like this, but you will need a powerbank that supports quick charging to get the proper Amps.

The Ursa Mini Pro uses a USB-C connection.

This cable (or similar) should get the job done: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Ultra-USB-C-Black/dp/B00S8GU2OC/

Yeah, you just use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Type-USB-C-Black/dp/B00S8GU2OC

it offers benefit even for the trezor. the cable is reversible. meaning that you won't have to fidget with the cable and the port and make sure it is aligned the right way. it's more convenient than it seems. even if you ignore that there's still reason to release it with usb c. it's the future. just like how micro usb replaced mini usb. how many mini usb devices are you using these days? probably not many. as time goes on micro usb will be used less and less and everything will just use usb c by default. for the longevity and convenience of the product it would be better to use usb c.

on top of that if it is designed like the original trezor it will just be a female usb port on the device, meaning it shouldn't cause any inconvenience for you at all. the cable will probably come in the box. usb c to usb a.

they may even provide both a usb c to usb c and a usb c to usb a cable meaning that you can plug it into your usb c only macbook or your 5 year old desktop.

there's nothing but upside and no downside for it to offer usb c.

Update: I bought the Cable Matters cable because it looked nice and thin and was cheap. The specs say it does NOT do fast charging or work with the Switch. I suspected that was wrong... and I'm right!

It does fast charging just fine with my Aukey QC2.0 car charger.

I'm getting the idea that most of these have only tested to meet the 2.4A spec required by USB-IF or whatever and that they just didn't bother to test further. Doesn't mean it WON'T work, though.

I'm noticing the specs say it goes up to 2640mA (2.64A). According to Wikipedia, QC2.0 only uses 2A - it's just a higher voltage (9V 2A rather than 5V 2A). Obviously current without voltage is a meaningless measurement, but I digress.

The Nintendo Switch uses a much higher power, I don't have my official charger at work to look at but I want to say it's like 15V 3A for 45W compared to the 18W QC2.0 uses. So if these thin cables can't power a Switch, that's totally understandable.

I'm also pleased with how thin the Cable Matters cable is. The rubbery feel is a bit...strange, but it's like half as thick as the Aukey cable. So that's a good thing.

Edit: Weird, the description now mentions the Galaxy S8 (though nothing about fast charging) and the Switch. I swear a couple weeks ago it said it doesn't support fast charge or the Switch. Looking at an archived version from 2015 shows they changed the design at least once, and that old one only did 1.5A charging. So I guess they updated it for new devices and that's what I got - can't say I mind, though!

USB to USB-C cables. Like: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Type-USB-C-Black/dp/B00S8GU2OC

All my devices came with one.

I purchased 2 of these cables from Amazon and have had no issues with them. My monitor has a rapid charging port and these cables work flawlessly. Bought a second cause the first was so good.

Okay, at this point is there and Type-C chargers that are recommended? This is the one I purchased from Amazon before realizing that there was an issue with the chargers.

Yeah. Imagine the fiasco if it was revealed that we got an extra hour of two of battery life while sacrificing the well-being of the consumer. Samsung didn't build in room for thermal expansion. The Switch's battery probably couldn't be much better with the size of the device and the things that it's powering. Also, it's USB-C, buy a power bank and a cheap USB-C cable, so you don't have to lug the Nintendo brick. Here, I'll even help you, Pananar: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Type-USB-C-Black/dp/B00S8GU2OC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1484439397&sr=8-3&keywords=usb-c+cable

i have one of the New 3ds XLs

I don't play it close to death normally because i charge my stuff at night, but when its dying its 4 hours to around 8 depending on how intensive the game is

The reason why its not a big deal for me, is because of it being USB-C

While its not the standard right now it is quickly becoming the standard power plug for phones

If i decide to get one i would only need to grab the system, but in whatever case/bag they have for it and walk out my front door.

I already have everything to charge/power it in my car

Its not like its the 3DS where i had to buy a power cord with a usb, and i have to remember to take that specific cord with me

With how quickly companies are adopting USB-C, biggest examples being samsung and google, by this time next year almost everyone who would buy a Switch will own a phone with USB C,

Just a quick amazon search gives me

Male usb A to male USB C

128 Gig micro sd card

and because i would need to do more research a portable power bank runs from 20-40 on amazon

So for everything you would buy for "on the go" it costs around 88 bucks.

The power bank can work with anything, so around half of that 88 would be for something you could use for litteraly anything that charges with a male usb A

Which comparing to what i can see being the closest thing we have now (PS Vita) a 64 gig storage card runs above 100 on the gamestop website and higher than that on amazon

https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Type-USB-C-Black/dp/B00S8GU2OC

That's not entirely true. You can use most USB devices with a Thunderbolt 3 port and no dongle. You do need different cables though, like these:
https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Type-USB-C-Black/dp/B00S8GU2OC

https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-USB-IF-Certified-Printer-Meters/dp/B010NCWYI0

https://www.amazon.com/USB-3-1-Type-JOTO-White/dp/B01540Q4FK


EDIT: Since I'm being downvoted I will clarify, but what I posted is still mostly true. You can get USB-C to A, B, lightning, etc. cables that can be used dongleless with the new MacBooks. Yes you have to invest in new cables which is a pain but there's a misconception that dongles are required for anything that's not a USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 device. Apple of course doesn't make that clear so you will buy their dongles instead of getting new cables. If I'm wrong here then please show me where I have erred.
