I have a similar cable that works without issue, so I didn’t give it a second thought before plugging in my devices and walking away. Right away I noticed one of them rebooted and then seemed to freeze. So I pulled out the trusty meter and immediately discovered that the side labeled as “Only for Charging” is actually the worst one for delivering current.
In the video I’m uploading you can see that the “charging” side delivers less than half of the current, and when I tried it with a QC3 charger I saw the message you see in my photo when I connected the phone to that same side. It’s just a cable, it’s not that expensive, but I don’t have time to deal with trying to solve someone else’s engineering problems… And neither should you. Get something else.
