Volta 2.0 - 5A Super fast charging Magnetic Cable | Drops 23.01.19

I would request you guys to take care with your Volta 2.0 tips as out of my 2 tips, one had broken in my power bank and other in Samsung Galaxy Note 9 while I was trying to plug out those from respective slots and now both charging ports are blocked by remaining portion of your tips stuck there. And as pointed out in first comment, great concept but such a poor quality, I have original Volta cable and tips also and I have come to conclusion that those are far much better built and are are of a lot better quality.

Great concept but poor quality and even poorer customer service.
I bought a lot (300€+) of original Volta cables through the original campaign to end up after less than a year with breaking tips and not holding tips. I so went to Volta XL (100€+) to find out once delivered that they don’t transfer data so completely useless. And after a few weeks here comes the Volta 2.0 full of promises if you are ready to spend 300€+ again ! (Completely impossible to reuse my previous investment if I want a seamless experience)
I tried writing a few times to customer support with only part of my questions being answered and not even the original Indiegogo discount level being proposed. Not to say that many lengths and colors are not available, price have surged and there’s a good chance that USB-C ended cables will be out soon.
Sadly

Don’t want to over promise here. We are looking into this, but it will be a little challenging to combine the QC2.0 (micro USB) protocol with the USB Type C Power Drive/Delivery together in a single cable.

@SAIF MSK Your issue is most likely a software problem within Android Auto or your android device manufacturer’s flavor of android running on the phone. Most of them will try to lay the blame in the cable being used and say you need to use the original manufacturer provided cable but if you do some digging around the internet there is a plethora of user feedback stating otherwise with issues still persisting with Original phone cables.

To give some feedback on my experience. When I first got my Subaru and starting using Android auto, the volta 1.0 OG cable and my one plus cable, and other USB A to C cables, i had those same issues with inconsistent pairings with the head unit. As android auto got updated and One Plus released new phone patches, those problems are essentially gone. I very rarely have pairing problems with android auto now using those exact same cables. My head unit has never been updated. Most reliable brands of cables are built to USB spec and are very rarely the cause of such issues.

Maybe the New Original 1.0 cable does have issues, i havent tested it myself as I never say a reason to procure those as they released at the same time the XL was released and i actually prefer the tip design of the XL over the other volta cable iterations.

@colby Volta 1.0 works well with Android auto head units. However, I’ve found Volta xl to be extremely inconsistent. Sometimes it will work perfectly fine and other times it will constantly disconnect from the head unit but still charge the phone. I’ve noticed this especially on longer drives. Once it starts disconnecting, it will not properly connect to the head unit anymore. Subaru 2018 crosstek(XV) here. I’m pretty sure the head units are the same in all Subaru cars
