I haven't had any problems myself, yet. If you buy something USB-IF certified at least, you're fine. From https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung/posts/LQ5df94bERb https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung/posts/LQ5df94bERb: > One trend I will highlight is that more cables are getting USB-IF certified compliant. In fact, I see a number of cables on Amazon that not only claim to be USB-IF certified, they list the TID (Test Identifier) assigned by USB-IF for the cable in the product description. Also, as for > There's already competing standards for fast charging over USB-C. Not really. There are proprietary options, yes, but USB Power Delivery is THE standard. Google even strongly recommends OEMs not implement anything besides Power Delivery (https://source.android.com/compatibility/android-cdd#7_7_usb https://source.android.com/compatibility/android-cdd#7_7_usb): > * Type-C devices MUST detect 1.5A and 3.0A chargers per the Type-C resistor standard and it must detect changes in the advertisement. > * Type-C devices also supporting USB host mode are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to support Power Delivery for data and power role swapping. > * Type-C devices SHOULD support Power Delivery for high-voltage charging and support for Alternate Modes such as display out. > * Type-C devices are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to not support proprietary charging methods that modify Vbus voltage beyond default levels, or alter sink/source roles as such may result in interoperability issues with the chargers or devices that support the standard USB Power Delivery methods. While this is called out as "STRONGLY RECOMMENDED", in future Android versions we might REQUIRE all type-C devices to support full interoperability with standard type-C chargers. Were there issues early on? Yes. Will there be many issues going forward? I don't think so.
