  • Name/IRC nick: ngt

  • Topic: cable/charger requirements

  • Some details about the topic: Jolla mentioned in an earlier community meeting that there will likely be no charger and cable in the box (to reduce eWaste). For the few people that weren’t using a smartphone with USB-C before, are there any recommendations (or requirements) we should look for when buying a new charger and/or cable? And at which point would you recommend getting a new cable/charger?

    • EDIT: Since posting the original question I started thinking about not buying a new cable/charger since I found a charging-only USB-C-to-A cable that I could reuse with one of my old chargers or my laptop.
      • Do we need a cable that supports data-transfers during setup (like on Android/iOS) or does it work wirelessly or is this unsupported/only supported with newer Android/iOS devices (in which case that might not matter)?
      • Did you test charging speeds using a USB(-A) port (If I recall correctly they are standardized)?

  • Approx. time needed: idk, maybe 10 min?

  • Substitute (optional): n/a

(I hope it’s ok that I added this to my original question :sweat_smile:)
