This is a US set

I just called them, he said stock arriving next week, UK set. Skeptical...

Interested too, depending on delivery date. Sounds decent.

Any bros to recommend good TG?

Complete coverage i only know of Orzly, which leaves the screen portion white when screen off.

Currently using the intelliarmor TG which does not fully cover the display area.

1) Try your Google cable on another power bank to verify that it is good. Although it is unlikely to be bad.

The Xiaomi is my only good power bank. The rest are those free gifts, with very low output.

2) Your Xiaomi powebank might be a hazard to your Pixel, that is why the phone is drawing little current with Google cable. There must be something wrong with your new cable that is not allowing Pixel to detect with Xiaomi powebank..

The Xiaomi is rated at 2.1A output, and it's not heavily used, so it should still be good. I'll try it on some other phones and cables tomorrow just to be sure, but I don't think it's the power bank's fault.

Just my 2 cents of engineering view.

To add on, I hope you are looking at the current flow from very low battery balance. High balance will draw less current than low balance.

Yup, I'm aware of that. It was tested on moderate battery level, not super low nor high, and cables were tested one after another, so very similar levels.

Anyone know if SmartCell Mobile is selling UK or US set? They say UK set.

Getting 4 hours+ SOT on my XL. Could be a bad app. Try resetting your phone. Overnight drain of only 4 to 5% is what I get.

Gotten couple of c to c and c to a cables from the choetech flagship store few months back.

C to A is usb-c compliant and all cables build quality are quite sturdy, each cable comes with a box for it.

My SOT is quite short too but overnight drain around the same rate. Run gaming apps like Asphalt8 not that smooth and crash at random times. Might do factory reset soon since can't find the bad app

go to play store, download an app called checkr, u must plug the cable to ur pc, not ur charger.
and only usb a to c cables, if green color means good to go, hope this helps
