I hate the chargers that Microsoft / Nokia provides. Fixed prongs, fixed cable means that it is a nightmare for travelling.
So, the Google dual-port USB-C one looked like a great alternative. The Microsoft one is 5V, 3A. The Google one is 5V, 4.5A (3.0V available to each port, but it prioritizes when you have two devices connected).
Lo and behold that when I try to connect it to the Display Dock, the red light doesn't ever come on, signaling that it's not being powered. Has anyone found a third-party charger that doesn't have this issue? I'm hoping that it's not Microsoft trying to lock you into using their charger...
Edit: So I tried a few more chargers (see below) and it turns out to be Google's charger that is the only one that has issues.
Edit 2: Updated my phone, and now I'm even more confused as only the official charger seems to be working again.
