Hey,
Want to add wireless charging to my S4. But I also want to get a wireless charging dock for my car. I have read a little but I am kinda clueless on the tech.
I currently have a UAG Scout case on my S4. Any one know of a combo that would work with this case?
Thanks in advance.
Make sure to order a thin coil, phone tends to get hot and slow on charge rate. it does work though with a bulky lifeproof case and with my Nexus 7. Spent about 20 on ebay, almost all are made in China.
Will any wireless charger work?
Will probably need to be 2 amp capable.
Any specific charging card you recommend?
Hey got a wireless charger and wireless charging card.
But when I put the phone on the charger it says it's charging wireless and the charge icon on the battery shows up also. Then the charging icon disappears. Is it suppose to do this? How do I tell if it's still charging?
Thanks

Hello xda,
I am looking for a charging pad that auto shuts off when my Note 4 is full. It is hard to find those kinds of wireless chargers. I am using a Qi-Infinity charging receiver as it is the only one I found that retains NFC functionality. But first, a story.
I went through 2 charging receivers because both does not retain NFC functionality. I ended up with the Qi-Infinity as my third and final charging receiver.
I have a RAVPower Charging Pad (RP-WCN7) which seems to continually charge my Note 4 even when full.
So, for the interesting part.
I bought another receiver from amazon that says it will stop charging when the phone is fully charged.
Sure enough, it didn't do that for my Note 4. But interestingly, it stopped charging when I tested it out with a Nexus 4.
Am I missing something with wireless charging technology? Is there a protocol that the qi standard uses to send out charge status? If someone could suggest a wireless charger that shuts off automatically, that would be great!
Thanks

Hi, most wireless charges have built in energy saver that automatically go to idle mode once your phone charges up to 100%. Maybe you've got some problem with your charger. You may go to the CHOETECH wireless chargers. I'm using their Stadium Qi Wireless Charger (3 coils) that I had months ago, but I just saw a new wireless charger (3 coils, lighting sensor) that worth a better shot for $20. Hope it helps.

+1 for the CHOETECH Stadium. I have two of them, and a FoneSalesMan SlimPWRCard in my Note 4. Phone stops charging when it's at 100% - and no sounds so it's good for using at night. Thanks for the link to the new charger, looks good, but the review says 1 coil?

Hi, thank you! You are correct, it's a single coil charger.
I found they're talking about a Fast Charger one. But I'm not sure whether a Fast wireless charger works with our Galaxy Note 4.

Hello everyone...
Im looking for a fast wireless car charger.
Iottie has one but its not fast.
Is there evan a fast wireless charger (not for car)? I got one for free with the edge plus, but it charges very slowly...
I think that charging your device with a wireless charger at home is stupid. I dont see the point. In the car you can use it while it charges and if there is a fast one for a car it can be awsome!
If i'll buy the wireless ottie one, and plug it to a fast charger will it charge faster?
No there isn't a fast wireless car charger yet. Currently there is only the Samsung and Choetech fast wireless chargers out there, not even a 3rd company that makes it.
If you buy the iottie or any other wireless car charger, it would only charge at its slower rate. Give it a few more months and you might see one available, no guarantee.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you just take something like this and plug it into your Choetech or Samsung wireless fast charging base?
I have one of those Aukey Quick Chargers from Amazon and when I connect it, it says fast charging. Seems to charge fast as well.

I use the Anker Power Drive +1 along with an Anker Power line 3 ft. Seems to charge as fast as when plugged in ,both can be found on Amazon , and if it doesn't deliver just return it but from my experience that won't be necessary........:good:
Is there something new?
*Fast* wireless car charger?

Hi there,
I'ved tryed and the time for charging was the same as the "normal" wireless charger.
Well, I connect the fast wireless charger with the wall charger that came ou of box (fast charger).

I bought the same one, it charges ok.. But nothing fancy..
I would only use one if you go through cords a lot.. It doesn't charge too fast.. But if your tired and don't want to fiddle with a cord or in my case I go through cords a lot for some reason.. It's nice to just put it down and forget it..
The downside to Wireless charging is over time the heat generated can actually damage your battery.. So better stick with the fast charger...
I bought a decent Samsung Knock off charger with the Samsung logo on it.. It works just as the OEM.. Lucky me..
The specs show it charges at 1A (1000mA), which is not fast at all.
100% Brand New,High Quality!
High power, quick-acting charging
Short-circuit protection of the receiver to avoid overcharge & overheating, security and reliable
Ultrathin, lightweight and portable, good for using at home, office, public area, etc
Note: Please make sure the hungry device is put in the magnetic inductive center and not askew when wirelessly charging
Specification:
Wireless charging standard: Qi standard
Power: 10W
Wireless distance: 5mm
Input: 5V 2000mA
Output: 5V 1000mA
Frequency: 100-200kHz
Power transform efficiency: >70%
Size: 97mm x 16.8mm

Notelease remove the phone case cover when you use it.
The S6 can not fast charge wirelessly so there is no point in spending more money for a fast wireless charger. You can save your money and get a regular wireless charger.
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-PN920TWEGUS
The Fast Charge feature is compatible with only Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ models

i got a "knockoff" samsung wireless charger puck type and it doesn't charge fast because i didn't know that the s6 did not support fast charging wirelessly!
the only issue i had was every time the display went out the wireless charging would stop and wake the display then start charging.
fixed this with an app called dock station
I went for an Anker qi wireless charger and it is perfect. It's like a small hockey puck and works a treat! Under £10 as well [emoji106]?
Outside of the Google dock, I have tried a few "10W" wireless chargers that only deliver slow charging. Looking to see if people can suggest true fast charge wireless pucks. Specifically at a Best Buy or local to purchase.

Doesn't this phone need 11w for fast charging?

It's up to 11w fast wireless charging. 10w is still considered fast wireless charging too.

Ah OK, that's my mistake. Good to know, thanks.
Yeah, the dock I bought said it does 10w, but doesn't with our phones. Looking to see if someone else had luck finding one that did the full 10 or 11w wireless charge.

How did you measure it? Just curious, I bought cheaper Lenovo desk puck that says it provides 1.1 A from 9 V chargers, and it seems to be pretty fast, but I have no idea what is actually being put out, and would like to know

It doesn't state EPP in the description - wouldn't that mean that this wont fast charge?

I had the same concern.
I found an entry in the Wireless Power Consortium Database indicating that it does support EPP

I received the Anker wireless charging pad and power supply today.
Wireless fast charging works well.
I've attached a couple pics;
1 - The charging pad, powered up, but idling (no phone sitting on the charging pad). I've got a Satechi USB-C power monitor plugged inline. So, here you can see it's powered with 9V @ 20ma (thus, 0.18W)
2 - The Pixel 4 XL sitting atop the charging pad. Soon after setting the phone on the charging pad, the phone, pad, and power supply work out that the pad should be powered with 12v. So the power supply switches from 9V to 12V. Again, looking at the Satechi USB-C power monitor, the pad is drawing 1.2A @ 12V (thus, 14.4W). I've got the AccuBattery app running on the phone, and it shows the battery charge current at near 2A. That's "fast" charging!!! When I set the phone on the charging pad it was at 65%. A little over an hour later it was charged to 100%.
Net-net... this is a good combo. Maybe a little spendy, but they work.
WOW... to double your wireless charging speed you need to spend 3-4x the $$... 5w you can pick up for $10+... 10w will run you $50+ smh
I'm currently using a magnetic phone mount in my vehicle with my Pixel 2. Has anyone had trouble using wireless charging along with either a magnetic case or with a metal disk inserted in the case to work on the phone mount?
Trying to figure potential gotcha's when I upgrade to a new phone which will probably be the 4XL.

Wow. Appreciate the detail. I am a little surprised that it seems most companies separate the puck from the AC adapter. Dont know why they can make it as one product.
For those that care. I found this cheap one on Amazon for $16.99 CAD. You need to have a qc2.0/3.0 adapter for it but I'm getting fast charging speeds on it.. Charges at 10W. Not quite the 11W that pixel can handle but I'll take it for the price.

Does the screen actually say rapid charging or does it just say wireless charging? I purchased a Vebach charging pad with the 3.0 charging adapter and it still says just wireless charging.
