Early Adoption.

Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P Troubled By Android 7.0 Nougat Problems

There ya go, first Nougat rollouts broke the 5X and 6P.

My experience with the Nexus 5x has been uneventful in operation. So no hardware or software issues at hand.

The ONLY complaint I have with the phone is the camera is slow to process. The picture quality is very good however. I knew that going in.

Anytime one is an early adopter you run the risk of things braking. That applies to any form of technology. Less than 1% percent of phones use Nougat.

I paid 239 bucks for the phone the risk was low.

If one wants no risk? Buy a Brand new Galaxy S5 with Kit Kat operating system. Turn it on and it will update to Marshmallow. ATT did this Aug 2016. You can buy that phone for 200 bucks.

There are so many choices out there. It's a good time to buy a smartphone.

Couldn't agree more. My S5 was fantabulous and didn't break until I broke it. Hell, I was still able to fix it. Add a 64 or 128 SD Card and you're solid.
 
Old Hardware new Software.

My "Old" Nexus 5X phone with new software. So far so good............

I have the Galaxy Note 4 and am ready to upgrade, but they are not making any new notes. I need my big phone lol! I also have a MSi laptop and 2 kindles. We have other gadgets (like my xbox one) but these are primarily mine.
 
I need to take the time to get up to speed on phones, given that from a practical standpoint, only a phone make sense for the majority of my day. I found that I can't be bothered to drag the laptop out when I do get home.

I went from the lowest of the low a dual-core samsung to maybe a half step up to the OM5, which is, at least a quad-core. Already three maybe four months at the most later it's having difficulty charging.

I don't like change but transitioning to a new phone seems to be getting easier it was seamless between the two Samsungs so I figure I'm going to stay with a Samsung.
 
of immediate concern does anyone have any idea why my phone says that the phone is charging slowly because I'm not using the original cord when I actually am?

What are the differences in chargers and adapters and how do you evaluate them?

I get the message with the factory cord and AC adapter at home and I get it on the road with a 12-volt USB adapter. also on the 12 volt adapter there are numbers something like 1.0 and 2.0 on the two slots. I'm under the assumption that the higher number should charge faster is that incorrect?

High ampere is likely the key to fast charging, not nessecarily high voltage.

A fast charger can have up to 3 or 4 Ampere output, where 1 to 1.5 is more normal, but the same 5 Volts. Anything higher will be bottlenecked on the phone end anyway.

The 1.0 and 2.0 on the adapter could be Ampere, but might also be USB data standards (if it's a hub?).

I don't think they mark USB 1.0 as "1.0".
 
BTW, the DASH Charge on the OnePlus 3T is all it's cracked up to be. USB Type-C kinda fucked up all my USB 2.0 cables but the Anker 3.0 to Type-C adapters work well with all my Quick Charge 2.0 bricks.

The car has two 12v outlets, but I wouldnt be surprised if they are on they same circuit. It used to have this wonky adapter plugged in to give it three plus two USB slots. It has a dash/interior cam, a Garmin and various cords for various people's phones plugged in like spaghetti all over the place. I usually just leave most of the mess alone so I don't have to put it back right when I turn the car back in the motor pool.
 
Buy OEM.
If not, buy brand certified that keeps your device warranty.

I'm going to take your advice. Also I'm going to have to find a good store for Samsung products because my sort of off-brand provider staff doesn't seem to know anything about phones and carries random branded accessories. I don't think the 12 volt adapters that I've had any of them have been Samsung unique. The one at home though for the AC adapter is the correct one that came with the phone. I know I'm not so sure though that I haven't mixed up the cards between the two different Samsung phones that I have but they don't appear to be any different but that might not be true appearances likely have nothing to do with it.
