When using in car, playing music from Pandora, and using google navigation phone uses more power than what charger can provide. Ive got it on a fast charger, so its supplying more current than a standard one,....its not overheating because when it does the charge light blinks green then red. Screen is on all the time during navigation and set at 30%. Anyone have same experience? My Droid X would keep charging in same situation. This is going down in charge %. I was using das bamf rom, just switched to Perfect Storm 1.2, maybe will make a difference?
Also when plugged in to power its underclocked to 768mhz.
Would switching kernals make a difference?
What is the amp output of your car charger? I'm pretty sure you need at least 1amp to feed this device while using GPS and data. maybe 750ma will do it, but most recent phones, tablets, mifi devices, etc. require at least 1a.
Same thing is happening to me, I dont think the charger puts out enough juice. I've ordered a verizon 2amp dual USB adapter, hopefully it will put out enough to charge the device.

Not sure of its output.
Let me know how the 2 amp works for you.
I use the one sold at the Verizon Corp stores and use Pandora daily with no issues when charging.. Chrages up if it was under 100 and stays at 100 when it gets there..

But I am using GPS with screen on the whole time, curious if you are too?
Turn your screen off. Navigation and Pandora will keep playing and your battery will slowly charge.

I guess your right,...it must be more of a power hog than my X was using the same charger.
I've used Last.fm streaming with GPS navigation and screen on for multiple hours at a time without any battery drain. I don't know what car charger I'm using (an unofficial one that I bought for my Moto Droid), but I've been running the Das Bamf kernels for the most part. Even before I installed any of those kernels I never noticed any battery drain while plugged.
Same problem here.
I have a Belkin micro-charge 1A. Can't use navigation and Pandora without losing charge. I had the same problem with the iPhone before I bought the 1A charger, the 500mah wasn't powerful enough.
And turning off the screen when you're in navigation mode defies the purpose.
Do you turn off the screen of your Garmin or Tomtom while navigating? I didn't think so...
Let us know if a 2A charger does help.
Thanks for the feedback.
I called Rocketfish to try and find out just how much powa the charger I posted earlier put out. They didnt know, lol. They said usually its posted in their system, but that one wasnt.
But, after thinking about it, I had the screen on 100% brightness because of glare I was getting. Will tone it down and went to utkanos kernal and see how that rides out.
You need to get a charger with more power. I got one made for an ipad. It has 2 USB ports. Made by scouche or something like that. Had this issue with multiple chargers even on my droids.
this is completely normal for other phones too, like the nexus one. using NAvigation with the car dock pulls more power than the charger can supply, so the phone slowly drops while charging. not much can be done about it. i bought a 1.3 amp car charger. helps a bit.
So I recently purchased the nexus phone and I have a question about wireless charging that is not phone specific. I know that having the correct voltage for your phone is very important and the wrong voltage can ruin your battery. Does wireless charging still apply to these rules? If know how do i know what my phones battery takes and what the wireless charges puts out.
Thanks everyone!
As per title, I have a wireless charger now and like most people I imagine, charge the phablet at night.
So the first notification/screen on I can tolerate to tell me it's charging but then there's the charging complete notification/screen on and then to and fro as some juice depletes and it goes back onto charge.
I'm not rooted (bought the phone outright recently and don't want to invalidate warranty).
I am averagely familiar with using Tasker and Trigger and am open to any suggestions to stop me getting woken up by this.
It seems such an obvious Use Case I am amazed Samsung haven't provided an easy way to do wireless charging without these interruptions.
Thanks,
Joe
I haven't noticed any interruption in charging wirelessly. I get the notification that it started, the one for full, and that's it. If I leave it on the pad it just acts like it is plugged in and maintains until I remove it.
Fwiw, I'm using the PThink Ultra thin qi receiver w/nfc and a yipin q300 dual qi charger. Does the same in my powerbot puck, too.

Lightflow will allow you to override the factory settings for both of these. You can set quiet hours as well.

I'm starting to wonder if I have a duff charger mat. When it's at full charge the charging notification comes on every two or three seconds. The mat is quite hot to touch and my battery monitor app shows 39 C.
It's a Choe mat so only a cheapie.
Hi XDA members
in your opinion what is the best wireless charger for galaxy s6
hope everyone give us the price and the link for the product
Well it really depends on your budget. In my case, I am on a tight budget so I'll probably settle on TechMatte Wireless Charger that is priced not more than $25. However, I would really like the official Samsung wireless charger that is priced at $45 on Amazon. It is good-looking, sleeker and has functional LED light indicator.
Here is a good article about S6 wireless charger:
http://www.androidauthority.com/best-wireless-chargers-samsung-galaxy-s6-600922/
Honestly anything that has 3 coils will do well for you. I recently purchased this charger from Amazon, and it's amazing. You don't have to play with alignment as there is more than one coil.

Yep.. ^^^^ what eep02b said.. I have the same exact one and it charges ridiculously good. No issues whatsoever. I've used a variety cases and it charges them with no issues. The thickest case I have is the Caseology and the Supcase.
I don't have the S6, but I do have the official Samsung charger.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Wireless-Charging-Pad-Packaging/dp/B00UCZGS6S
I'm using it for my S3, that has a wireless receiver inside since my charging port is rather finicky these days. It works fine for that and it's nice that it's low profile, which is what I wanted.
The downside is that since it's flat, not very useful if you wanna watch movies and such, but that doesn't bother me since I only use it before I go to bed. I generally don't run into alignment issues with it, but always a possibility with the single coil setup.
The official Samsung one works with any Qi enabled device, though if you are using it for any other device, besides the S6, like I'm currently doing with my S3, the LED indicator will not tell you when it's fully charged. It'll just tell you when it's on the pad.
I don't mind since I just use my phone's LED indicator light to let me know when it's fully charged. But, keep that in mind, if you want to use it for phones other than the S6.
The 3 coil setup is better in that you won't run into any alignment issues like you can run into with single coil set ups. If you get something like this TYLT charger, you can definitely watch movies and such since it's propped up.
http://www.amazon.com/TYLT-Wireless-Charger-all-Phones/dp/B00DG8NUC8
One other thing you wanna keep in mind with wireless charging in general. It will NOT charge your phone as fast as using the AC adapter (especially since it has fast charging capabilities) the phone came with. If you wanna charge your phone fast, wireless charging isn't the way to go. It's more of a convenience thing. Figured you knew that, but a friendly reminder never hurts.

Yeah I got this one aswell for bedroom, and I have the round original Samsung one for desktop. Samsungs has too bright blue leds to use in bedroom so its more suitable for desk.
Both works great, no issues at all. Might get the QiStone+ later on so that I can have a portable battery with wireless charging capabilities.
Have any of you with that Choe charger used any sort of app to measure what sort of charging current you're getting?

Im using the Choetech upgraded wireless charger, got it off Amazon for about £15. My last cheaper one used to sometimes overheat the phone. This one works without any issues and takes the same to to charge as a standard wall charger. What app can I use to check the charging voltages etc?
I use the TYLT Vu

I use an app called Ampere. Had to use the option for the older testing method to get it to work with the S6.
The Samsung Wireless Charging Pad for Galaxy S6 works just fine for me.

My TYLT Vu only works reliably when my S6 is placed on it in landscape orientation. It either doesn't work, or works intermittently in portrait orientation.
Do you have this issue with yours?
No, the only problem that I have with it is when my phone is fully charger and then the screen of my s6 lights up and the sound of the wireless charging plays, and its keep on doing it ever minute or so... I don't know if its the charger fault or the device itself
I have 3 of these around the house, work just fine for me, and they come in different colors and shapes;

I just got the new belkin charger and works great so far. Been using a cheap one from eBay and works good too.
Waiting on more from eBay soon and I'm sure they will work too.
Same

Mine does the same thing on the Choe 3 coil. I stopped using it. Wish there was a way to fix this without root.

I have the same issue, the wireless charger charges my phone just fine. I have 3 separate ones and they all do it, once it gets to 100% it keeps making the charging noise on and off as it looses a bit of power and starts charging again, kind of annoying when it's by your bedside lol. Anyone know how to fix that?
I have the official Samsung charging pad, works like every other wireless charger. Not sure if it was worth the $40 I got it for but the charging LED is handy and it isn't too bright to sleep with (my opinion). It doesn't have any starting/stopping charging issues at 100%.

Just bought this a few days ago, absolutely love it. I've set it down maybe 50 times, never missed a charge or needed to re-position it. For $25, you can't go wrong. Only minor down side is the surface is pretty smooth, so people without a case, I could see this sliding off. I use a clear Spidgen case, and have no issues at all charging with the case on.
Is there such an accessory like this? Battery case but uses qi wireless instead of micro usb plugged on the phone.

Unlikely, wireless charging is very inefficient, so the useful capacity of a case like that would not be large (not to mention the coils are pretty large and heavy)
Dont really understand what u mean with battery case, but I ordered this one 10.000mah powerbank with QI wireless charging and should get around 1-2 weeks (I hopes). If its what u mean?

Nah, s6 have already a built-in wireless charging capability.
Lol, he's talking about a power case with built in battery/case at the same time. That has an wireless charging capability so he doesn't have take out the phone from the case to wirelessly charge or have to plug a USB into the case. As for the question. No there isn't any that I came across so far, and if there is, it would cost an arm maybe a leg too.
Did you ever find one?
The Incipio Off Grid (http://www.incipio.com/chargers/off...-extended-battery-case-samsung-galaxy-s6.html) is almost there. You can charge the case wirelessly, but the phone still connects via USB to the case.
Galaxy S7 got an official one: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-TG930BBUGUS
If you want a case with working wireless charging capabilities, this is the best option:
http://www.tylt.com/power-cases/energi-sliding-power-case-for-samsung-gs-gs6-edge
It's bulky but the power sleeve is there when you need it!
check out makezens.com as well
I got one in from aliexpress.com but there output voltage is very low! so no point! and the rest are expensive for my currency as they cost like 100$
There seems to be some confusion among posters about what exactly is being asked and why it may be needed. What is NOT being asked for is a battery case where the case charges wirelessly. Nor is the poster asking for a battery case slim enough to allow wireless charging of the phone when the case is on.
What IS desired is a battery case that connects to the phone via the Qi (wireless) charging connection and NOT via the microUSB port.
This is needed on occasion because charging via the microUSB port can be disabled due to shorts, port wear, or water exposure. My phone currently is in this state where it can ONLY charge via wireless. When I need power on the go, there is no good option (other than rubber-banding a wireless power pack to my phone, which is absurd). Additionally, power cases connecting via microUSB cannot work with my phone for this reason (none of the products posted in this thread will work).
So with that cleared up, has anyone seen the rare unicorn of a power case that charges wirelessly?

Pretty sure I saw one on Best Buy website because I thought about getting it myself. But that's been about a year ago.
