Best wireless charger? - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

Hi guys.
I have an i9506 and i look for a wireless charger.
I can't find many rss for it to decide for best.
What is your experience?
What do you suggest?

My experience has been the Samsung wireless charger is best. I own it and two of the El cheapos from eBay and the difference is huge. For example the cheap ones you have to be move the phone around on the pad to find the sweet spot. With the Samsung charger, close is good enough and you get a green LED to let you know it's working.

I use 3 nokia dt-900. I also had an ebay one which burned... my advice, go for known brands like samaung, nokia, panasonic, energizer...

I have a Samsung charger and a PowerBot disk. Both work fine.

Thnx for your response guys!
So best is to use samsung charger (station) and what patch in the cover?
Is there any big copper mesh to induct more power from the pad?
Also are those chargers fast like the wall charger?

I don't know the current links, but you can check the Samsung site for the Samsung wireless charger for the s4. The PowerBot is available on amazon.

List of tested induction charger for Nexus 4

Hi all, i've bought this wireless charger to charge my Samsung Galaxy S3 (with the included coil, it works), AND my brand new LG Nexus 4, and for this smartphone, it doesn't work.
Here the link:
http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160923480453
It claims to be QI compatible, but mine doesn't work with my Nexus 4... Anyone else tried this charger ?
wow, that thing adds wireless charging to a phone that doesn't have wireless charging. that's pretty cool. sorry it didn't work with the N4 tho

yes, it works because Samsung Galaxy S3 already have a special pinout just under the backside cover.
This pinout is intendented to be used with the official charging kit wich will become available in few weeks from Samsung.
But others manufacturers have not wait much longer to create their own kit for Galaxy S3
If delivery works fine, i will receive an other wireless QI charger tomorrow... A philips one... I will post here if it works.

Thanks for the post. I had actually been looking at this one on eBay. It's only $50usd shipped in the US ebay. I'm sorry you bought something and ended up waisting your money, but I appreciate you sharing your experience with others so we don't make the same mistake.

The Philips charger come with an additional "bumper case" that add the wireless charging capacity to Iphone 4 and 4S.
But i don't use that "bumper case", only the charger, and it works

The Oregon Scientific QW201 "Time & Wireless Charging Station" works to charge the phone.
http://www2.oregonscientific.com/ca...-prod-Time-and-Wireless-Charging-Station.html
It also has a few other neat features like remote thermometer. However I'm returning mine for a few reasons.
1. the atomic clock set didn't work
2. viewing angle extremely limited
3. bright blue charging indicator
I'd probably have kept it if not for #1.

Don't think it works, otherwise all of us would have swooped them up by now lol. For one, I don't think it reads anywhere that it's qi standard.

Ive been following the other threads on qi chargers for quite some time and most of the ones that are not working either has :
1) contact type charging (i.e sleeve with metal contactor to the charging pad)
2) wireless charging/qi standard but with lower rating for battery capacity (i.e nokia for example, rated at 300 mAh)
from the looks of it, this doesnt look like its a contact type..so there might be a slight chance that this might work..here's one sold in amazon :

best replacement s4 WALL charger

Looking to replace my oem S4 charger, I realize the samsung one is high quality and charges at 1900mA, but I don't want to spend $40+ on a charger..anyone have any good and cheaper alternatives, what will charge at least at 1200mA, links please? I been looking around amazon and online but I'm scared to get some cheap chinese ones.

Any other charger will charge slower than the official Samsung one because of the way it implements a quickcharge spec. That said, I use this one and it works well - but definitely slower than the Samsung one:

Any cable should be fine as long as it meets USB specs. I got a bunch on Monoprice that work great.

I bought this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CQS0S7E
It's probably NOT true OEM, but it does charge my S4 at 1900mA. However, the cable that came with it did not work. It won't even fit on the s4, or any other microUSB ports. It looked used/broken. I am using a regular USB cable from monoprice and it works fine.
btw, I ordered from BLUTEKUSA. I don't see them on the list of sellers right now, so it might be dangerous to buy these as there are a lot of negative reviews on the other sellers.

Bought a very cheap original Samsung Note2 charger here, does the job wonderfully.
Here's a small review of some charger I tested:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44651947&postcount=128
Seems like the blackberry playbook charger is all good, charges the phone perfectly and efficiently.
I am using the iGO Dual USB Wall Charger for Tablets. It has two 2.1Amp ports, comes with a 6 or 7 foot USB cable and the A97 tip for charging. Works wonderfully and found it on clearance at RadioShack for $8.98. I can charge my iPad and my S4 at the same time with no issues.

Any recommendation for an S5 car charger?

I'm in real need of a car charger for my S5. Does anyone know where I should buy one? Or what brand to look for? Thanks!
I almost always check on Amazon first. And boom, solution. Go for the one with the fewest negative reviews. I choose plemo for its reasonable price and so far has no complaints.

I am using maxboost car charger which I bought from amazon. This is by far one of the best chargers I ve had. Very compact and powerful.
A handful negative reviews said 2.4A port does not work with S5, but mine seems to be an updated version with so called smart port, both charges S5 fine. Currently, black color is out, and white one still available.
It can be found from here: http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Port-Maxboost-4-4A-Charger/dp/B00ISGCAJM/
I also recommend the brand plemo. I bought it on Amazon and have been using it for about four months now. Really chuffed about it. Charges my S5 really fast (definitely faster than the stock charger). Also charges my other devices including the Canon camera and the GPS.
ive got a belkin usb port and it works fine on uk gs5

Official Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Accessories

AndroidCentral has some pictures of some of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Accessories:
http://www.androidcentral.com/samsungs-new-galaxy-note-4-and-note-edge-accessories
TheVerge has some info on the bejeweled back covers and the LED Covers:
http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/3/6101321/galaxy-note-4-swarovski-crystal-back-accessories-announced
It looks like the LEDs on the LED Cover are just around the top portion of the flip, not all over it like the HTC Dot View.
Video talks about the Gear VR Headset, Gear S Watch, and Gear Circle:
The Qi Cover is separate like last year. The S View Covers are probably the same.

If you're talking about the OEM desk dock, it won't work because the Note 3 dock is USB 3.0 and the Note 4 is USB 2.0.
Anyone have an idea of when the official accessories will be available, like the wireless charging back? Not sure how long I'm willing to go without wireless charging on my Note 4.

That would be my first thought too, but I currently have a USB 2 dock that works great for the Note 3. So, I'm remaining cautiously optimistic that it will work. I would like to ditch my Chinese knock-off dock with an official Samsung dock to gain 1920*1080 output. My knock-off dock only outputs 1280*720; but it is a fraction of the cost of the official dock...
So, I'll try my current dock when my Note 4 arrives and post my results. Then, if it does work, I'll spring for the official dock...
Is it weird that I'm only getting this phone because of that LED wallet cover thing?

most official Samsung accessories for the 4 are available now. Qi wireless charging covers on the 20th of this month.
Where is a dock or MHL 3.0 adapter available? You all realize it supports up to 4K @30hz display output? I can't seem to find any 3.0MHL. Also, anyone know if the miracast/allshare cast has improved in anyway ??

neither the LED or the Crystal covers are available yet. the Samsung USA Mobile rep told me that the accessories site for the 4 won't go live until "next week", but he probably felt pressured into telling me that over the phone.

Anyone try to price match at it Best Buy and pick up in store? I imagine they don't honor the promotional pricing.

Blitzwolf dual sided (reversible) micro usb cable safe for galaxy s6?

Hey all,
Do you guys have any experience with a dual sided micro usb cable? I just ordered one from Blitzwolf. Most aliexpres and banggood sellers say it's compatible with the S6, but one of them says it isn't. I've found a youtube video of someone who's using one for his galaxy s6. So it does fit, but is it also safe?

Never heard of this before. Looks interesting. The reviews on Amazon are positive, but I've seen many fake reviews on other Blitzwolf products on Amazon. One reviewer mentioned the following, which concerns me: "The micro USB end really clicks into ports, like almost too firmly. Not sure if this is bad or not for the port in the long run."

Yes that's it! It does feel quite firm, but not that firm, I guess. I hope that there are more people who tried this cable on the Galaxy S6.
How'd the cables go? I just ordered 4 of them from banggood, 2x 2m and 2x 1m braided (were on sale) and plan on using them with my s7.

I got a 6 foot for at home and a 3 foot braided for the bag. These look good. Thanks!
USB only uses 4 pins; on the Micro connector, they are all on one side. So, a reversible connector, if wired properly, will be perfectly safe.
