Case with Qi coil built in?

Is there a case available with a Qi coil built in, so I can slot in the 6P into the case which will have a type C connector on the bottom and will allow me to charge the phone wirelessly? This would be a good solution to avoid wasting my investment in my Qi desk chargers and Qi car docks.

I've not seen one but that would charge very slowly. Probably not a problem for an overnight charge but you would never be able to quickly burst charge your phone with Qi.

i am not sure but i don't think it's possible. the phone itself would have to be qi compatible in the first place so.... yea

Do you mean a case like this http://www.nillkin.com/uploads//2015041619382673499.jpg

It very easily possible that a company can create a case with QI wireless built in. They currently make several different modes for the iphone. Welcome to xda

I see what you are talking about/referring to now. Didn't think that would work. would be cool as well but did not use any wireless charging before so i guess i shall stick to the conventional wire charging

I've only used wireless charging for the last two years, so going back to the cord is going to suck for me...

Basically I just want a case with a Qi coil built in and this coil has a USB-C connector that you plug in the 6P, like someone mentioned they make cases like this for the iPhone so it is possible, if you search for "qi chip micro usb" on Amazon you will see the adaptor for example. I would like either an adaptor or a case with the coil built in so I can just slide the 6P into a connector that is built into the bottom of the case. Charging time is not an issue because this is for overnight charging and for when the phone is docked on my Qi car dock during navigation.

There will be a Qi sticker that will fit under a case.

Just curious to those who uses the wireless charging since i have never used it before..
How long does it take to charge your phone using a wireless charger? (Any fast charging wireless charger out there?)
And does it consumes more power to charge a phone because they may be less efficient than normal cable charging?
Thanks

Fast wireless charging is only on the new Samsung phones. The Nexus 6 I have now will charge at 1A via qi so it charges kn about 3 hours but that's fine when I goto bed at night. Wireless charing is less efficient because you lose more power due in the form of heat which is why the speed is limited more than a cable

Takes a while. It's best for overnight charging or just trickle charging on your desk. If you're in a pinch and need juice, plugging it into just about anything would be faster. Most have a max output of 1A at 5V, so 5 watts, the input usually 2A at 5V, so 10 watts input. Samsung just came out with a faster wireless charger that has a freaking fan inside of it. Not sure of output and what the hardware requirements are for it. May be limited to S6 Edge+/ Note 5. It's purely a convenience. I never used it until my Nexus 6. For me its more of a pain in the arse since the nexus 6 has a curved back. Having an easel type would be best. It's harder to get it just right on the flat hockey puck looking chargers. Unfortunately for me, I have 2 hockey pucks... But the Samsung one I have has a larger pad so it works first time most times.

Why would it ?
The coils create the current via induction, you can charge or power anything with a +/- terminals, as long as you feed the +/- correctly via the USB port or directly soldered to the batter terminals its will charge due to having a small amount of electricity to supply it.
There is no need for magical software to control it, you can try for your self, wire a LED to a QI coil and put it on a charger and boom the LED lights up.

Am I missing something here or what ... You have to keep something plugged in to use this? So if you want a quick charge you have to unplug it, then replug it to use a wireless charger?
Wow... Kind of defeats the purpose if so

I don't think think it defeats the purpose at all. I think most of the time the Qi would be plugged in but occasionally pulled out when you needed a large, quick charge. It would help if there was a place to retract or dock the Qi cable and I'd also be a bit concerned about the overall thickness.

With 3450mah...I think I'll be fine with a 20 minute quick charge.
I plug in every night anyway... Not really for me.... Especially with reversible cable.I guess I understand goggles reasoning. I prefer finding solutions for all day battery life then laying it flat to charge wirelessly. At 5 or 6 sot time were almost there for the heaviest of users

This means you would have to open your brand new Nexus 6P in order to install it. Not saying it wont work but I think this means loosing your warranty tho.
My opinion is that one is better off getting a compatible wireless charging phone instead of going through the trouble.

[SPAM] rapid charger that actually works for the Nexus 6p!!

Just like everyone else I've been searching for a good aftermarket charger for my phone. I purchased the Choetech rapid adapter along with the cable (sold separately) and it works beautifully.. The Nexus 6p shows rapid charging on the home screen and Ampere showed the same.
How does that compare to the OEM charger that came with the Nexus 6p? The OEM charger charged at 2920ma, while the Choetech adapter and cable charged at 2840ma. So as you can see it's right on par with the OEM charger.
Build Quality:
The build quality is exactly what you expect to received from Choetech. The body of the charger is similar to the OEM charger with smooth sides and flat top and bottom. There's branding on the the front as you see in the pictures, with specifications information next to the electrical prongs. As for the cable there's more Choetech branding on each end, but it's not intrusive and blends in with the cable. The cable material is thick which is a very good thing, as it should be able to provide adequate power and durability. I'm very happy with this cable and plan to buy another soon. Here's my setup and I did a quick video review as well. Be warned I've read reviews showing that some users received a 2.4v model only... If you watch my videos you will clearly see my charger says 3A/5V and it charges at that speed.
<MODERATOR EDITED - SPAM REFERRAL LINKS DELETED>

The quality on this cable is durable. It does pull 3A, as described, without any issues. charged my phone from 17% to 100% in
1 hour 20 min. It charges just as fast as google's provided cable.
and for the USB type-A to type C cable is also reliable. Checkr app tested and confirmed it is safe for the 2.4A (slower)rapid
charging if the power adapter can support upto 2.4A.
I will recommend this to anyone who wants a spare cable for USB-C just like me. leave one at home, and take this with me
anywhere I go to charge the device.

Is it just me or does that cable appear to struggle to charge as well as OEM? Your comparison graph shows the goggle cable working consistently better and the choetech cable never reaching the current the oem cable does.

Well, if you see the graph more closely my phone had less battery percentage for the Google's cable. I believe hungrier the battery, faster it takes. You will never see full capacity current draw at higher battery percentage.

I just bought this USB-C charger with CC cable.
It's on it's way...can't wait to test it.

You also need to make sure you order the updated version. The first version didn't comply with type c standards.

Might just go with the one on the Google website now, since it's only a few dollars more and it'll probably ship faster. Amazon says it'll arrive after Christmas now.

So you're saying the cable for sure goes up to 2.4A? Your pictures aren't showing up - just wanted to make sure.
I asked about USB-A to C before and someone was very adamant in saying, "The USB standard for an in spec Type A to C cable will charge at 1.5A. "

What does Benson Leung say about this product?

I don't have quick charger 2.0 brick or equivalent. The most I got is a Samsung brick that goes 2A at the most and I did get near that. When I get a hand on better adapter, I will test it out.

For 3A fast charging speeds, USB C Charger with CC cable is the only way
Well, I'm pretty sure that simply put, A to C reaches only 2.4A at maximum, no matter what wall charger you use. If you want full 3A fast charging speeds, C to C is the only way.
I purchased and tried their USB C wall charger with C to C cable. I wasn't disappointed. They are well built and work fine ... at almost the same fast speed as the OEM Charger.

I'm not a fan of the Google charger because it's hard wired. Wires tends to go bad before the block so its a cheaper fix than buying a whole new charger.

Odd.. do you mean the model you've got has the cable connected to the charger (i.e not removable)? The international edition (H1512) I got in Hong Kong while travelling is detachable and is type C on either end. I didnt' realize there were variations with the included accessories.

Agreed, wires do likely wear faster. But should you expect either to go bad in less than a couple of years if handled reasonably?

Using a physical power meter I've verified that the Nexus 6P will only charge at 1.5A at 5V with standard 2A/2.4A chargers (I've tried 3-4 different USB A chargers). These are far more accurate than ampere as ampere measures net current, current in minus consumed current, not just the incoming current from the charger.
I'm not aware of a physical device that measures power through a type C cable other than the twinkie device that benson mentions and is several hundred dollars.

I think he/she is referring to the extra one you buy from the accessories on the Google 6p site. The one included is a removable USB C-C cord.

If you read the Amazon comments so people where saying they received a different model than the one I've reviewed. As for fast charging with the Choetech after day 3 I still have no issues. It charges my phone from 1% to 100% in around 90 minutes.

Tronsmart 33W Dual USB (USB-A & USB-C) Wall Charger Overview

Quick and dirty test of the Tronsmart 33W Dual USB Wall Charger. Amazon Link
Nice and sturdy. No complaints on the build and aesthetics here. Smaller than I thought it'd be (based off of the images on Amazon) - good thing.
Tested with a 6.6 ft. Cable Matters® USB 2.0 Type-C to Type-C cable.

Looks like we have another 3rd party wall charger option?

This is exactly what I've been waiting for, along with the matching car charger. Thanks for the heads up.

Works really great. Charges as fast as my Huawei Type C charger. Highly recommended!

Complete opposite impression of OP as I do not recommend this charger. Charges my nexus 7 at 300 mA via the A port and charges my 6P via the C port at 2200 mA. USB C cables fall right out of the port with no force required and the components inside the charger wiggle around when you move the charger. Also quite a bit heavier and larger than the stock Huawei charger.
Tronsmart offered to send me a replacement but I have a feeling I will be getting a refund.

It seems like you receievd a defective unit clearly. I've had the charger for a while now, and other than having it break while traveling (my fault) it worked perfectly. The charger still works, but it has a crack in it thanks to rough handling in my bag while traveling (and putting it in a non-padded pocket). The ports at all snug and it does charge up at 2.950A based on what I saw while testing it. I don't think your experience is typical, but it also doesn't make our any better to experience. I hope you get it worked out

Didnt see that one before. Not happy with my Tronsmart at the moment. If the replacement still has the same issues, I will be returning it and probably will give that CHOETECH a shot.
Also my Tronsmart gets quite warm to the touch (not unbearable though), can give you an exact temp once I find my infrared thermometer.

Well the Type A port puts out the rated 5V/3A if your device can charge at that rate. Most phones will only charge at 5V/2A via a type A port, so that's why it chargers them slower.

350A is a HUGE amount of power, I think you mean 350mAh. How did you check the current rate for the N7? If you used Ampere or any app then it's not accurate so you need to use an inline multimeter. . Mine outputs ~5V/2A charging my S7E and it gives my 1.5A over the Type A port using my Nexus 6P. If yours doesn't output the correct current then it's likely defective.

Lol, yes I did mean mAh. I understand the apps aren't as accurate as an actual inline meter, but I thought they at least got you in the correct ballpark?

Not necessarily, I've seen them be off as much as 1A before especially on my S7E, so I don't go by those. If it seems like it's defective then I would contact Tronsmart because they could probably give you a better answer.

It does seem like both these chargers are hit and miss. Likely resulting from poor QC. I picked up a tronsmart myself after deciding between the two. It should be arriving today. Unfortunately my 6P is due later in the week.

I've had my Tronsmart for a few weeks now, based on initial impressions from OP. I've had zero issues with it. Matter of fact, I replaced a multiport charger on my nightstand for this one, as all I normally charge now is my N6P and my LG Watch. Coupled with iOrange-E 2m braided cables, I have zero issues with charging the N6P. Now I keep my OEM charger at the office (just in case).

I have this charger for about 2 weeks and I haven' t got any issue yet.

Here's to hoping my replacement is better ?
One of the big android blogs just did a post on tronsmart praising them for their products. Felt sponsored though so I'm weary.

I almost have the whole set. Ony one missing is the car charger. This s a nice set! No issues whatsoever.

Found on eBay - LEGIT OEM USB Type-C Charger LG Nexus 5X (using on my 6P!)

USB Type-C is great, until you realize that you probably want more than one charger, then you realize that you'll be spending $25 and up. Or so I thought.
I don't like this Google USB Type-C charger which has a non-removable cable. I just really hate the idea of having to toss the power brick once the cable has a short in it.
I searched eBay for a Lumia 950/950 XL charger, a Nokia N1 charger, and the OEM 6P charger, hoping to save a few bucks, but I had no hits. People are clinging to their USB Type-C chargers evidently.
So, recalling that the 5X is also Type-C, I did a search for an OEM 5X charger and I stumbled onto this eBay listing. :laugh::good:
For $17.99, how could I not grab one? It's the only one that didn't have me envisioning my apartment and cat going up in flames. So, I had no way to tell if it was indeed real, because I've never seen a 5X in person. When I opened the package, the cable just felt so cheap, the sheathing is thin and kinda satin-like. The best way I could think to verify if it's legit was Youtube unboxing vids, so I watched this video on Youtube and the dude holds up the cable and charger to the camera, like really close, and it matches what I have exactly! Yes, down to the little holes in the plastic on the USB connectors.
I have no doubt that it's real. It also does rapid charging (5V with 3 AMP output + "Charging Rapidly" is displayed on the phone)
I just thought I'd share this little gem with you guys. =) Oh, I ordered on the 4th and it arrived today, on the 11th, and had tracking too. Just thought I'd toss that out there!

If I remember right, cables that aren't spec'ed properly will still display "Charging Rapidly". Have you checked using Ampere?

My PC is not equipped with a USB Type-C port to test with that app, but here's this: The OnePlus cable always caused my phone to display "Charging Rapidly" on the lock screen, but never provided a time until the charge would be complete. This 5X charger however displays "Charging rapidly (12 minutes until full)" once the phone has time to calculate it. Well, 12, 36, etc. :good:

I will try that app real quick.
EDIT: 1420mA max on my 6P stock charger and 1400mA max on the 5X charger. Given that my battery is 92% full, I think it's fair to say it's legit.

I had a Nexus 5X and that charger/packaging look identical to the one that's included in the box. Now, this doesn't mean it's legitimate, but it's a good sign.

Ampere isn't even remotely accurate

Here's a screenshot. Using the 5X charger and cable.

You need to run ampere when the battery is less than 10% to really see what the charger can do. As the battery charges, the current is reduced. Therefore this 1.4A may still be ok. Try it at 10% and report back to see how close to 3000ma you get.

I was under the impression that Ampere results were skewed by the amount of current being used by the phone while the charging was taking place.
This is a good idea though, sourcing the chargers for other phones as USB Type-C becomes more prevalent. Personally, I think I can get by with 2.4A chargers/micro-usb adapters and use the OEM charger at home if I need a quick charge before I go out for an evening.

It won't charge over 1.5A using an proper C adapter or A-C cable. A 2.4A charger would be pointless unless its just something you have laying around.
I also mentioned earlier that Ampere isn't accurate but there are no C-C multimeter's that I've seen so far

Well, the phone is giving an ETA to full charge, something it never did with the OnePlus cables. I think that, coupled with that packaging and likeness, says that these are legit. It's only $18, so if anyone would like to take testing any further, go for it. I'm convinced it's legit - Ampere gives the same readings with the stock charger, and even if the app isn't the greatest metric, that's a good sign. =)

The one plus cables are dangerous to use and do not meet the USB specification. There's no way to really know if the charger is an OEM item unless you have a 5X charger to compare it to.

You bought a $500+ phone and you are worried about "saving" $8 by buying an unknown charger from eBay?
I just bought the cable from Google as if something were to happen with my phone as a result of the Google cable, it's going to be a lot easier to get a fix for the cable and/or the phone with Google than trying to tell Google I used a cable I thought was good that I bought from eBay.

As I said in the first post, I don't want a charger with a fixed cable - soon as the cable takes a crap, the whole thing is just garbage. I have never been a fan on fixed cable solutions. And what does it matter that I bought a $649 phone? No one should want to spend $40 on a charger with a removable cable from Google. If I wanted to drop that much money to charge my pricy device, I would have bought one of those new Macbooks.
The point of the post was just to give other people a heads up that I found a good deal on an OEM charger, not to argue with people about it or be called a tightwad. I can afford a $40 charger, but no, I won't buy one.

How is the genuine 5x charger on the 6p? Does it rapid charge like the original 6p charger? thanks

Yes I used to have a 5X along with my 6P and the OEM LG one does rapid change the 6P.

I wouldn't touch that eBay crap with a 10 foot pole. My phone is $600. I am not about to put it or any other piece of electronics in my house in danger because I wanted to skimp on chargers.
There are many charging blocks and Type C cables that are Benson verified and really cheap on Amazon. I'm not calling you a tightwad (although even then, spending ~$20 on Amazon would net you a proper charger that would for sure be Benson approved and non-captive, which is what you want). I think you're a fool to be blindly recommending Type C chargers without actually knowing if they are legitimate or not. Fake devices are notorious on eBay for looking visually identical to their real counterparts. Seriously? Comparing to what you saw in a YouTube video?
You may be fine taking the risk. But don't sit there getting all self-righteous because people are rightly skeptical of some no name eBay listing, especially when your only proof is an Ampere screenshot that tells us nothing and your own interpretation of the "Charging rapidly" text on your lockscreen.

There is nothing wrong with looking for a deal.
That's why your phone was $600 while other might have got it for 550 with no tax and free shipping.

Yeah, I bought one of these and the charger and cable looks just like OE from Google except it is labeled "SONEic" on top of the charger. The cable looks, feels, and in conjuntion with the charger functions exactly as the Google charger that came in the box. Worth it to pick up a couple of these if your obsessed with chargers like I am.

gonna have to snag one or two:good:

I want a QI compatible back cover. Rumours, news, releases?

I really like the back cover idea, even though I'm not sure I will be buying a battery back, at least not yet as they're waaay too expensive.
However, one enormous oversight from Lenovo/Moto is that the stock back cover doesn't have a QI receiver built in.
It's thick enough that a slim QI coil would fit comfortably, and not add any bulk from the "style mod"
It appears that the phone itself has the electronics required built in, so the thickness should not be affected.
(Based on the fact that there's a system service preinstalled about wireless charging)
I haven't been able to find anything on ebay or google, has anyone heard or seen something interesting?

Still no rumors but it's a bit early... anyway I'm pretty sure that a QI compatible cover and a slimmer battery pack (1000 mAh?) will be some of the first third parts MODs developed...

I'm assuming you are NOT looking for the Incipio battery with Qi Charger built in? I got one of those at best buy and love it, but there's no denying that it adds a bit of heft to the phone. Personally, I don't mind this at all and prefer a slightly thicker phone.

Well, for one that battery doesn't appear to get released in Sweden. The only back pack available is the non wireless at 120 something bucks. It's priced a little extreme imo..
(All things wireless charging are really hard to come by locally. Strange really since IKEA actually makes qi compatible furniture these days..)
And it really is a little on the thick side, although the fact that I can drop the backpack directly on a charger and still have my phone is genius.
A backpack with at most 1mm extra bulk from a style cover and some miniscule 1Ah battery built in would be cool though.
Should be possible, the ipad air has some really thin cells inside, I've used butchered ipad air batteries for several projects.
As a side note, the Chinese super premium brand Xiaomi is about to release a 2-way QC3.0 Type C power bank.
That could be a good middle ground for me.

How much bulk added? Like the JBL speaker bulk?
Can you post a picture what it looks like on your phone?

The Incipio battery is wireless charging ready, just check the model. I don't have any camera but you can see the three mods and compare them.

Yes, but please note that model in picture is without wireless charge option (MT-381-WHT).
Models with wireless charge are MT-382-WHT (white) and MT-382-BLK (black), even if they are identical from exterior ....
These days they are very hard to find and reserved by Motorola to few markets only...

After spending 25 minutes on the phone to Lenovo sales (rather than risk ordering the wrong one online) and having it double checked twice I'm waiting to return what they sent - just a moto mod charge pack not a wireless one as ordered.
After another three calls it turns out they are not in the UK yet.... unless you know differently??

Ugh... I sooo hate that. I mean, I know mistake happen, but when you do as much research as you possible can and double check with the company alerting them to the potential for a mixup and they still send you the wrong thing!

Versions listed on amazon in europe have a different code from the above, but are all without wireless, so they are about MT-381-xxx with different coding...

And that was the 28th October... here we are the 12th November and they still haven't even authorised collection of the wrong item - never mind a credit And it's not for the want of trying... emails, repeated phone calls, general 'abuse' on Facebook
I hate Lenovo big style, never again!

I know this is a little off-topic but I have the Tumi wireless charging battery mod and for the life of my I can't seem to find a way to consistently charge the pack wirelessly. It would always recognize that it's on a wireless charger and start charging for a few seconds then disconnect then reconnect then disconnect...so on and so forth. Does anyone have the same issue or do I have a faulty unit?
Edit: Old Hardware: ChoeTech fast wireless charger (10w max output) + ChoeTech adaptive fast charger wall brick + Generic USB A to Micro USB (to power the wireless charger)
Originally I had my ChoeTech Fast wireless charger hooked up as shown above. The issue wasn't the Tumi, the wireless charger or the power brick. It was the generic cable I used to plug the brick into the wireless charging pad. I switched to a higher quality cable that I knew would work with the max output of the adaptive fast charging wall brick and all my issues went away! Hope that helps!

Hi, I got a question, can the battery bod be charged (on the wireless charger) if the phone is not connected to it?
That would be very handy.
Thanks! :good:

yes
