Mine too. I only ordered one. I figure the short one will do me alright for hooking to my laptop on the rare occasion I need to do that. It's also nice with my power bank. Ordered the longer one for use in my truck.

I'll keep the short one in my laptop back, these two will go into my Car and Truck. They have USB ports so hopefully they can charge or maintain a charge while driving until I can find a car charger that works with Type C standards.

I've got a quick charge usb charger in the truck. I think it does like 2.3A or something. Won't get rapid charge, but my power brick does similar and it charged pretty quick on that.

In the wife's car, we've got a 12V 2 prong plug like in the house, so I'll just use my wall charger if/when we're in there if I don't grab my other charger from the truck. I'm really only in her car on longer trips, so I should be fine, but I may toss the travel charger in my bag for the trip home over Thanksgiving.

Lots of "Questions" on that listing where people still haven't received the item.

Idk about good deals on these off-brand cables. Unless I see something that it meets the USB Type-C spec completely and is rated for the power required for rapid charging, I think I'll spend a little extra for anything I buy for this phone.

I'm right there with you. Too many cheap cables right now.

So I tried to charge by the USB port in the truck. I was running GPS and music. Started with 57%...ended with 53% with "slow charging" on the screen.

Hmm, got to keep up with this thread. I'm going to be wanting a car charger.

I was eaten by a zombie today because I lacked discipline. I chose eating pizza everyday over survival.

Zombies, Run! (Free) - Android Apps on Google Play

^ I am very competitive...and I got hawked down and eaten. Actually the way I went down was sad. I might as well stop, lay down, and poor hot sauce on myself. Basically I felt the results of poor eating this week. I have talked about fitness on several occasions (Fitness Friday Topic: The Gym Snob | Android Forum at DroidForums.net) so I was calling myself out on choosing to go on a week long pizza taster and as a result fizzled out when being chased. I heard "zombie is 20 meters" and I just had nothing left and walked slower and slower.

That's actually kinda cool. And makes way more sense now.

Basically you are saying you would not have went out like that. You would have put up a better fight. :p

Yes I'm probably on the list of people you want with you in a zombie apocalypse, the guy that will provide them a distraction while y'all run. But I'm training to survive.....

Actually if you are looking for an app to provide a little excitement to your workout I suggest zombie run. I been using it for 3 years now off and on. I used it on the treadmill, outdoors, indoor track, etc. Really changes the way you workout. Whether you walk and run or jog and sprint this app is a nice addition.

Well hopefully they'll accept it to pay for Play Music, but really didn't see any disclaimer when they were offering the credit,
