Current Events > android chargers are such shit

(+) Yeah! (+)

i am always, ALWAYS adjusting the fuckin things in order to charge something properly
---

Not on my pixel
---

There's no such thing as a singular "Android" charger.

Also, USB-C is better than Lightning by, like, a lot
---

you know the one I'm talking about
---

Same. Things are terrible and Samsung purposely makes it so non-Samsung chargers have a harder time.
---

Is it the cable or the device that's fucked up?
it's both of my phones and Ps4/switch pro controller basically, everything that uses it
---

Nothing wrong with mine.

I literally charge my Note 8 with the Switch's AC adapter. It enables fast charging, too.

usb mini micro then.

i dunno all the ones i use are fine. obviously theres no one maker for these cables, so you probably just have a bad cable.

for me, i use the micro usb cable that came with my PS4. its long, and it looks really durable. i connect that to my samsung fast charger for pretend fast results (i know it charges like normal on a non-fast charging device, but in my head its better).

maybe get a new cable? i find that amazonbasics is a good brand for a good mix of durability and low price. dont get a super cheap one cuz those can fail and maybe blow up your phone. probably not, but maybe.

back when i had my samsung galaxy phone, i had to plug it in like 10 different times to get the quick charging working

I am currently using a Powerbear charger. It's working lovely. For a while, it wasn't working and I got another Samsung. Eventually like all of them, the Samsung one shit the bed, and when I tried the Powerbear one again, it's been working for the past week. Hoping it stays this way.

ive fucked up like 3 different brands of cables after a few months of use each with my galaxy s8
---

it's more that shit only charges if its at a specific angle or has pressure on it or whatever.

I gotta set my ps4 controller upside down, and reversed in order to charge it. and that's using the cable my switch controller came with, not even a month old

&hell no im not buying new ones.

i dunno what to say then, all mine work perfectly.

I only have this issue on my super old like 2010 Android.

Maybe the issue in on your end?
