I just got myself a Nokia DT-900 Wireless charger (Got it at a clearance at the Nokia store) for use with my Nexus 5 and my Nexus 7.
I charged the nexus 5 with it now. While it charges perfectly, even with a case on, the back of the phone gets a little warm. Not hot, just warm. I was wondering if this is any cause for concern, or if this is normal. Have not tried with my nexus 7 though.
Does the nexus 5/7 work perfectly with the Nokia wireless charger, or is it Incompatibility that is causing the phone to warm up a little?

I noticed the same thing with a LG Qi charger. This is my first wireless charger and I believe that it's normal.

If the same thing happens with the Official LG Nexus charger, then it must be normal. Thanks!

As it's an LG, I doubt it's any different from the Nexus one. Both have the same specs. Have emailed Google regarding this, their reply was the standard 'We do not recommend using Non-Nexus chargers for Nexus devices'. I told them all QI chargers were actually supposed to work, and am awaiting their reply. Will follow up on this.

I bought a QI wireless charger when I purchased the phone based on excellent reviews on Amazon. I've since stopped using it just because of random overheating and generally the phone was warmer than when charging via USB. It was a feeling that overtime my phone would suffer.

my thoughts exactly
Wireless charging, by its very nature, generates a small amount of heat. It is perfectly normal for your phone to get a bit warm whenever you're charging via any means, but especially when wireless charging. The key is the phrase "a bit warm." It should never be hot to the touch, just warm. The phone was designed to handle this, and there will be no adverse effects. In fact, the heat generated is much less than is generated by the CPU during heavy use (such as during a graphic intensive game).
I regularly use my phone with the official nexus charger (in my car), the Nokia DT-910 (the stand-up version of the DT-900 -- my main overnight charger), and the Samsung S-Charger Pad (at work). All are perfectly compatible with the N5. In fact, the only name-brand charger I'd steer clear of is the Tylt Vu, because there have been numerous incidents of overheating with that charger (i.e., the phone gets very hot to the touch).

Yep, I read online that the Tylt Vu has some issues.
I spoke to Google about the Nokia charger, and they said the temp of the phone is normal. They did warn me that the Nokia does not cut charging automatically when it gets to 100%, and that I should Take it off manually
Using a case increases the distance between the phone and coil which can cause the phone to heat up even more. Even wired charging heats the battery so some extra warmth from the 25% lost energy seems normal.

Lots of people who use wireless chargers say this but I am still skeptical. I would like to see battery capacity tests from two of the same devices. One that was only charged with wireless charging and the other only charged via USB.
My money says the wireless charged device will have significantly less battery capacity than the usb charged device after 1-2 years of use.

Yes, But seeing as most of us use the phone for only 1-2 years, I personally don't see a difference. Maybe the battery will lose capacity over time, but that's going to happen anyway. This will maybe speed up the process by about 20%.

That may be true, but that argument lies on shaky ground, since there are a lot of other ways you can (theoretically) reduce battery life as well. In theory, not allowing the battery to drain completely during each charge cycle, or not removing the phone from the charger the instant it's fully charged can reduce battery life, yet nobody charges their phone that way. There's also the counter-argument that plugging the charging cable in every single day can prematurely wear out, or break, the (very fragile) USB connector on the phone, which would result in the inability to charge at all. (I went through SOOO many Galaxy Nexuses... Nexes? Nexii? Whatever... because of that issue.)
The point is that sometimes, convenience takes priority over the possibility of slightly reduced battery life, and it's hard to argue against the convenience of wireless charging.
Plus, as Srivas95 stated, most of us will move on to the next device long before any such battery degradation becomes an issue.

What you say is right, my Nexus 5 has been with me for just 4 months and I can already see that the jack is kind of loose. That is one of the reasons I got a wireless charger in the first place.
I'm coming from years of android phones and have always purchased wireless Qi adapters for them. After experimenting with several different brands of receivers over the years, I became a believer in the Nillkin brand. They cost a little bit more but they are way better built. I have always bought this receiver and have never had a single issue with mine or my wife's galaxy notes. I recently picked up a note 4 and after using it for a few days, I realized why I stay with the note brand. Absolutely amazing phone. Naturally I waited till Nillkin made an adapter for my phone and picked one up.
I placed it on charge the first night and when I picked it up in the morning, I nearly dropped it due it being so hot to the touch. That has never happened in any of my phones. Obviously something is not right with this thing.
Here's the weird thing....
I'm running "SmoothKat" rom but have a stock rooted back up. Oddly enough, when I restored to stock rooted and placed it on charge, It would still get quite warm but nothing like it was on the custom rom. I also tried turning off Fast charge option but no dice. Anyone have any advice? Is anyone else having an issue with the wireless charging making the phone hot?
BTW I'm using the TYLT Vu charger.
Thanks in advance...
Same charger here, using the OEM charging back. No heat issue.

Weird... It has to be this Nillkin receiver. I just searched around and noticed the Nillkin receiver has a significantly larger output of 850Ma. Most other receivers are 600-750 max. Could that be the issue?
I have a couple of receiver cards too, no heat issue with them but could not get tap to pay to work.
Hmmm that's never happened to me, and I have the same Nilkin charger. Maybe something with your phone?
Was the charger equally as hot?
Very strange. It seems the issue has worked itself out. I woke up yesterday and the note was slightly warm to the touch. This morning, completely normal temperature.... Weirdest thing... its like it learned what was going on in the past few days and fixed itself.... Mind blown.
Thanks for the help!
I had the same thing happen. I was using the OEM back with my TYLT, Airdock and Qi infinity chargers and it was running cool. The phone was too thick for my case so I switched to a Enpower transmitter with the original back. It was much slimmer but got WAY too hot. (I only tried it on my TYLT and decided not to F with it anymore.)

That's really weird. It may be something with our phones? I don't like the bulkiness of the oem cover so I was determined to figure out what the heck was going on. Shame I wasn't able to get to the bottom of this. Ill keep this thread updated as the days go by. I'm sure we aren't the only ones that had this issue.
Maybe they use the extra thicknesses for heat dissemination. It has a metal plate near the bottom on the inside, maybe that acts like a heat sink. I am sure their engineers did not take the decision to increase the thickness lightly, there must be a good reason...
And yes they should have baked it in by default. A flagship phone needs this built in, they were just greedy for accessory sales I guess.
Well, I'm glad the problem solved itself for you, OP. I don't know why that would have ever been an issue, but hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Same problem here with *Nillkin receiver, my note4 get really hot on charge.
My nexus 7 gets hot when charged using Nokia wireless charger. It stays hot even after charging is done. As if it won't stop charging so the energy needs to be dissipated somehow how so lt just generates heat.
I would NEVER use wireless charger on my note 4 because heat kills battery life.
I use a cheap ebay charger and wireless receiver that fits into the normal backcover...
It warms up while charging but nothing too hot. Just like charging normally by cable... Ofcourse, the cheap wireless receiver only gets 600ma max from the wireless charger.

thats just silly. the note 4 stops charging and cuts off the qi charger when charging is done. you can see the wireless symbol disconnect.

Then the fault is with the Nexus 7 ? Sometimes i pick it up from the Nokia charger hours after it is done charging at it is still very warm, even almost hot.
Tbh I wouldn't be surprised. The nexus 7 I have has lots of issues like random reboots, touch screen issues. Many people have these problems. ASUS really screwed up the 2013 nexus 7.
Sometimes my Note8 does not charge on my Samsung fast wireless charger. No, this is not a position issue.. Sometimes, it just doesn't charge. The solid bluelight of the wireless charger although turns on. The only way for me to wireless charge again in this state is for me to reboot the phone.
Anyone else run onto this? Very annoying and it happens at random times.

I am surprised no one ran into this issue. The only thing I can think of that would cause this is some service I disabled.
I have the same issue and unfortunately have not figured it out. Mine will charge for about 10 seconds then will start blinking, I am using the dock fast charger from before the note 8 though not the newest one.

I had the same issue when trying to use the older wireless charging stand. I think it's a power issue because I tried an older iPad charging block (one of the bigger ones that has higher wattage or voltage or whatever) and it charged fine on the older stand. It didn't say it was fast charging but it did charge faster than average. I think I'll just stick to the newer charging base I got from the Note 8 promotion.
I had the same issue. I realized the case that i was using was the issue. Had to take it off to use the wireless charging.
I noticed the same thing recently. The wierd thing is, I also have the old original flat slow wireless charger and I use tha every night with a case, it just won't work on the fast dock one. Only without the case, or I think if i lay it sideways it works.

If it is not the case...
This issue has to do with power supply. Try different cables or wall plugs. I have had this issue in the past it could be sending too much or too little voltage. It blinks like that and turns off to protect your device from getting damaged.
I actually had to use an older wall plug to get my older wireless charging pad to work. The quick charge wall plug was pushing too much voltage.

if I remove the case it works perfectly. With the case its the 10 second deal; However, I took your advice and switched out the charging brick to another samsung fast charger ( all i have to test with at the moment) and it looks like it may work. I will see if I have a better one at home but it may just be with the case its having to emit more power like you mentioned. not sure but ill try that out for now.
I have three different but the same Samsung fast charger and I have issues on all three but at random times.. When it is not working, I just reboot my phone while on the charger and it starts charging again when Phone comes back up. I just dont get it.

Looks like a common issue where the old wireless charger (pre S8 ones) had problems. My fast wireless charger had no issues with the S7, just the Note 8.

Many users are facing this problem. While searching the web I found one user giving the best solution for this problem at Samsung community, He says that he has the same issue if the phone is standing straight up. However, when he put it on its side he never seems to have the problem.

Yeah. I saw that but its still not working correctly for me.
Anyone notice that it only charges when the screen is OFF?
I have this issue sometimes randomly on the new flat fast charger. Does this with my wifes S8 as well. My older standing type fastcharger that I got for my Note 5 works flawlessly. I feel like it's the flat fastcharger base itself.
Ummm... now this crazy phone is charging FLAWLESSLY. And I havent changed a thing...
Evening All
So the last few weeks my S8 has been charging really slow.. it doesn't actually say 'Slow Charging', it still pops up with Fast Charging when plugged in (original charger with no damage).
It used to charge from pretty much dead to full in about an hour or so but now it's completely different. When I plug it in from about 20% it says around 2 hours to fully charged with fast charge.
Anyone else had this issue? My charger seems fine, always treated it well etc. My carrier (EE) has told me to contact Samsung but I just thought this would be worth a shot first.
Thanks

I am experiencing the exact same problem with my s8 plus. Its just been the past few weeks. I've tried switching out the cable and the AC adapter and nothing. I think I read somewhere that a recent update killed fast charging on some s8 plus models so I'm hoping that If it is a software issue it will be fixed when they roll out the next update. Otherwise I don't know what to do.

Hi all, I've had my pixel 7 pro for just over a week now and love it.
The only frustration is wireless charging. I've got 9w and 10w wireless pads. With both, after an all night change it barely charges 50%. This is with and without a case. Also, the phone does not change in my car at all (BMW built in charging pad).
My s21 ultra would charge is less than 4 hours.
What are you all experiencing? Is my phone faulty?

Encountered similar with wireless no name pad. Would go to 68%, and lot of heat.
Nice to know. Was trying to get at least a 15w pad, but don't know about heat. Is the google wireless stand the only one good for this?
Make sure you are using a Qi EPP charger.

Im still using the wireless charger I bought for my OnePlus 9 Pro. Works perfectly, charges to 100%, and fast charging
Try a USB current device, in-line with the charging pad(s). PortaPow makes a good one, and there are some cheap-ish ones out there, you sort of have to be selective.
f you do, you'll find that some do pull an actual 10(ish)A, while others don't even come close.
The OP charger is a good one, I had a well-ranked 10A charger before, and currently a Pixel Stand. They all charge the phone quickly, IME/IMO. Quickly enough for me anyway, that part is pretty subjective, again IME.
Thanks for the responses all!
So what times are you all seeing with your chargers? and what chargers are you using?
It'd be great to hear from those that use a samsung qi charger (9W trio charge pad).

My P7P will charge fully in about 4 hours, using 10A wireless, the handful of times I've needed it.
I'm more typically charging from 50% or so, seems like, and that takes a couple of hours. I've been using wireless charging for a bit over 10 years though, and it's far handier than plugging in, IMO.
Obviously, if your lifestyle needs are a 35 minute charge from 50%, then wireless isn't going to be so appealing.

Nope, or it's not appreciable anyway. It's charging right now, has been for a bit this AM, and it's a hair warmer than the air around it, if I lift it away and touch it (the case, it's got a decently thick Spigen case on it). I'd guess maybe 10 degrees warmer than ambient (I could rustle up my surface temp tester, from the garage, I suppose... ).
