Wireless Charger - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is the wireless charger going to come in the box with the s6 and s6 edge? Is it going to actually be wireless like how it was shown in the aftershow?

Many phones support wireless charging, but none include it.

Docomo had a promotion to include a free wireless charger for pre-orders. Also, they're the only carrier that sells the gold/platinum model, which is sweet; but that's besides the point. Love this wireless charging feature. Going to see how well an aftermarket one works, as I would like one for my office.

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.

So if i need it, i'll try to get one on eBay
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 :

Att g3 wireless charges out the box

When I bought the G3 they (Best Buy) told me it charges right out the box. So what I do, I buy the Duracell wireless charger, put my phone on it and what do you know nothing happens. So I go to an ATT store and ask them why do we have a back plate with prones to charge but it doesn't charge they said that it should be charging and that maybe I had a defective charging station. So they looked further and found out I needed the wireless folio case. So it doesn't charge out the box. So they gave me 50% off the folio case for telling me it charges out the box. Now I have to wait 3-5 days to charge wireless. And now I cant even use my Spigen cases to charge my phone wirelessly!! Ma'an what a day.lol

At least they sold you the right charging mat. Only the AT&T version uses the power mat technology. All the other G3 versions out there use Qi charging. But none of the US versions come with the charging components in the case "out of the box." I guess the wireless companies want to force you to buy another case.
50% off of a circle folio is not bad at all. I need to purchase one as I just for a powermat from at&t for 10! Clearance package for the iPhone 4s but the powermat is the same. Now I just need to purchase the case to charge wirelessly.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

This is accurate. For a limited time there is an offer of 50% off of an accessory with a LG G3 purchase...the folio case is included. Hopefully some business in the Asian Pacific Rim will develop a replacement back housing for our AT&T G3 variants so that powermat will work without a flip case.

That's interesting. I've tried three corporate stores in Chicago, and none had them. On the website, they're listed as "online only." I also tried doing the live chat to see if they could tell me where the cases might be in stock, and was told they're available online only. Clearly that's not true, but I wish there were a way to find out what stores have them.
The ones at the corporate store are the one whites. I don't believe they have the contacts for nfc or wireless charging. The one online is the Grey model. It states pma ready.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.
Wow, I'm here in Massachusetts. The corporate closest to my house had the PMA QC cases and the powermats.. I assumed that all corporate stores would be similar.
I'm gonna have to make a trip to the store and see if I can find one then.

I didn't get mine from corporate store. The corprate store called
ATT.com and ordered it for me. Then gave me a store discount of $30. I'm in TN and they don't have the cases know where in the area. Can only but them online.

There is a way. Go to att.com and place it in your cart. Proceed to checkout and for shipping, select in-store pickup. It will prompt for a zip code and then tell you the closest stores that have it in stock.

No you need a PMA charger the LG one is qi.
Replacing back
I have a question... Could one just buy a replacement back off of eBay for a carrier that supports qi charging...like say t-mobile, and switch it with the att battery cover? Or are there internal components required as well?

For $42 I couldn't pass up the Samsung Fast Wireless Charging Stand...all the other stands I looked at were about 10-15 cheaper, but in order to use fast wireless charging, a separate QC 2.0 plug would have needed to be purchased separately, so the price difference isn't very much in the end. With Prime shipping it will be here Sunday...now just gotta wait for the actual phone lol
Im gonna get the backpack wireless charging one most likely.

^ What :') Am I missing something?
So most of the wireless chargers that are cheaper than Samsung's fast charger do NOT come with the special fast charging power brick that is required. This power brick comes with the Galaxy Note 7, but I think I'd rather have two anyway.
ALSO CONSIDER that Samsung's wireless charger seems to be the actual fastest at charging. Through my research, Samsung's fast charger seems to be the equivalent of wired charging at 2 amps. Other "fast" wireless chargers charge at a lower amperage. Samsung also has a built in fan, so there is some peace of mind there.
It looks like Samsung's own wireless charger is the best bet here.
I'm eyeing the pad (not the angled stand).
I bought the Samsung Stand Fast charger for $42 at Best Buy. They price matched Amazon. Feels solid. For some reason though, it does not charge my gen 2 Nexus 7 tablet. Don't know if it only works for Fast Charging devices.
Can someone enlighten me as to why the new Samsung fast charger (angled stand) is going for only $16 on ebay?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/331912766116?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true
I noticed those too. I didn't want to chance it it and got mine from best buy. With a sealed battery I cant run the risk of a knockoff overcharging and destroying the $800+ device.

Any word on the charging dock?

Haven't heard anything from Essential about the charging dock. Any insight I'm missing?
The PH-1 didn't sell well so the accessories didn't materialize. If there actually is a PH-2 and it does better maybe Essential will release a charging dock that will work with both phones. That's the best we can probably hope for.
According to their reddit AMA, the accessories will be future compatible
I imagine it will roll out with PH2

It's not because the phone didn't sell well, it's because they are being sued about how the accessories communicate with the phone...
https://www.engadget.com/2017/10/17/essential-lawsuit-keyssa-modular-tech/
Well, not mention of the dock on the website anymore. Too bad, it's the one accessory i would have bought two of!
Anyone found any 3rd party USB-C fast charge stands? I liked my Samsung Quickcharge stand that held up my phone next to my keyboard.
Amazon has a bunch of sketchy looking no name USB stands but I cant tell if they'll be able to fast charge.
