Thanks

Yes

There's no reason why it shouldn't work. I fully plan on using my Nexus 5 with the LG WCP-700 wireless charger that I've been using with my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 for many months now.

Works great here, no complaints. Seems to "stick" to the charger well and have not had any slipping off the charger.

Great to hear that... my little charger have been sitting there for month with no one to charge

Mine works just fine. It doesn't stick to the charger like my Nexus 4 did which means I can pick it off one handed without lifting up the charger too. It doesn't slip off though.

There's a few. I think the upcoming qimini (search for it in this forum) might be what you was looking for. Heck you can put it in your pocket.

It looks great but you still have to plug it when you are going to use it ;s, I want a completely wireless one, that I can charge at home, and use anywhere just by placing the phone on top of it...

Not gonna be very compact but I can see using that and an external Battery to make it 100% wireless.

But you would need a power source, the mat can't just obtain electricity out of thin air. The closest we may get to a truly wireless charger is a solar powered one...

Yeah but you could just make a power bank, that had the ability to use inductive charging, for example, the official Google wireless charger for the Nexus 4,imagine if there was a battery inside that semisphere, so it's a power bank, you charge it at home and take it to wherever you want, when u put your phone on top, it starts charging, it's not getting the electricity out of nowhere, it's getting it from the internal battery inside the semisphere that u charged at home, the same way u could build a mat that does this, batteries are like 0.5 millimeters thick, so you could make a mat that is 1cm thick and u charge it at home, then u take it with you and u charge your phone putting it on top of it... Any of those would be awesome

QI Charging Pad for Multiple Devices

So I have a Nexus 4 and Got the new Nexus 7 2013 edition. I'm now in the market for a charging pad that can do both of the devices at once. Any suggestions?
Just got the n7 myself too. Its on its way. Wireless charging might not be a deal breaker, but my mattress is tall and I hate plugging in and unplugging every time I want to use it from bed. Hopefully there is a good dual qi charger for these 2 devices.

This is the only one that I've seen that does 2 at once. I have it and it charges mine and girl friend's n4 great at the same time. I don't have a new nexus 7 to try though.

Wireless charging question

Was wondering whether there are things to watch out for when considering wireless charging. The charger supplied with the phone is a normal one as far as i know. Are there any drawbacks when using any wireless charger? Is the hp touchpad touchstone compatible? Any info will be much appreciated

they generally charge slower. maybe twice as long(or a little less than twice as long)
The touchstone probably won't work - it's not Qi compatible.
If you're using the Nexus 4 wireless charger, the good news is that the 5 doesn't generally slide off.

Samsung has two wireless charging pads. What's the difference?

Samsung offers two wireless charging pads. One is mini and the other is standard size. Is it just the size that is the difference? Does one charge faster than the other?
Standard:

It looks like the mini only does 1amp charging while the standard does 2amp charging. In short, the standard will charge your phone faster.

That's totally lame. I was going to get the mini just because it looks better and more professionally styled. But I guess not anymore.

Where did you get that info from? In the description of the mini one it clearly states is comes with a 2A charger!
My understanding is that the mini is a new model released with the S5 whereas the other has been around for at least a year now.
Even if it comes with a 2A charger it only charges at 1amp. It's a limitation of wireless charging

Well that kinda blows. And makes wireless charging a whole lot less attractive.

I guess that sorta makes sense. I figured I'd use it more like drop my phone down to charge up a bit real quick before heading back out the door. Kind of a busy life style type thing.

Ya, it's not good for that. It won't charge it as fast then

The S5 has more than 2 points of contact for the wireless charging back. Not sure if it is for nfc, but maybe the doubled the charging capabilities by having two separate charging coils?
Edit: This is my first post is 5 years, I feel like a lurker.
The power of pad doesn't matter, the coil from the back of the case is the charging source. So for s4 note 3 it's 650 mamps and the new one for s5 is 700 mamps( if i spoted right in the pictures). The difference is in aspect and size only.

Are they up to 1A now? Last I checked, there wasn't a wireless charger anywhere that charged faster than 850mAh. Which is only 30% as fast as the USB 3.0 charging of 2500mAh.

If you look at pictures the S5 official wireless cover charges at 760ma.

1amp is theoretical charging speed.
Just like how the phone stock charger is 2amps, it will max out at around 1.8 amps

crazy deal alert!!!!

$5 each and if you buy 3 or more, you get 25% off, so I got 3 for $11.25
Here is a review of it
http://unleashthephones.com/2013/01/26/nokia-fatboy-wireless-charging-pillow-review/
Get them while they last!!
I have three wireless chargers. The small original Samsung, one Nillkin and a noname. I am using the original charging back from Samsung. I am very happy with the small original Samsung charger. The S5 gets much less warm than with the both others and it stops charging at 100%.
I had it on the Nillkin over night and the next day when it has been at nearly 100% already in the evening it was extrem hot at the morning and still charging but it showed 100% but not the full message at all. Very suspicious. With the noname I very often have the wireless charging detected message when it comes over 9x% so it looks as if the charger often "looses the connection" to the wireless charging back cover.
The original small Samsung charger says 5,3V and 2A on the back and it loads at maximum wireless power with the original back cover and the original power supply. For me this is the best combination. The only thing is, that you cannot use the S5 very well while charging because of the small charging pad. I most time take the charging pad with the S5 in one hand so it cannot tilt.

3 coils vs 1 coil.
3 coils is better with cases and easier to place the phone on it.

Both samsung charger are 1 coil.
3 coil offer a wide surface detection, but does not mean it's better that a single coil charger.

Anyone has used the ADATA CE700 wireless charger?

Probably is not the best forum to ask, I recently got this wireless charger for my Nexus 4. It looks slick and price wise is very affordable. Should really work fine, but I am having this issue where it says it is charging but after a while, is not charging any at all. I tried it aligning with the induction coil in many positions but so far no luck.
However, my phone is indeed charged with a LG wireless charger. So it is not the phone.
Has anyone use this charger with the Nexus 4?
Possibly not supplying enough power. Compare out power specs of ur stock charger with the new one. Should be on the devices. Could be the plug itself
