I appreciate the response. It's a p20 pro. I realize that I could find a charger that's compatible with all of the devices, but the fact is that all of them claim to be USB-C, and I'm still not sure if I buy a third party charger from a trusted brand (e.g. Anker) if it will work with all devices.
Now imagine explaining your comment to a lay person!
> it probably needs 60W+ and an e-marked cable.
I wasn't even aware e marked cables were a thing. I guess I need something similar for correct Android auto support with my phone and my car?
Honestly, your comment, while incredibly helpful, explains how unclear and how much of a mess it is.
Half of the problem is the USB implementers forum seems to be disconnected from reality and the other half is manufacturers not wanting to use standards
P20 Pro: Uses "Huawei Supercharge" which is not Huawei Fastcharge or VOOC, nor is it compatible with USB PD or Qualcomm QuickCharge. Jesus. I'll cross that brand off my list completely
re: Android Auto - I have no idea, sorry. Double check the cable works correctly to transfer data to a PC (or for tethering etc) - the last time I looked, AA was VNC over IP over USB.
Agreed that the problem is the implementors, but unfortunately that's all that matters. At least when the cables didn't fit I could easily not buy the wrong cable, but now I'm left scouring reddit or asking for help on HN!
