I want a charging dock for my S4 that will feed the phone the full amount of power that it can take, for quickest charging. I believe the stock charger that came with it supplies 2 amps.
I also would like said charger to have a slot for charging a spare battery at the same time.
All the charging docks I've found so far only claim to supply 1 amp to the phone, or less. Except one dock I found that did say it outputs 1.6 amps.
Does anybody know of a charging dock that will supply the full 2 amps? How about one that also has a slot for charging a spare battery?
Thanks.

Would you like it to serve you eggs and ham as well?
Damn.. you are really asking for so much and not nearly searching for it yourself enough if that makes sense.
There are charging docks that have a battery charger slot as well. They have a microusb port for power input. You can use a 2A charger with it and I believe it should be charging the phone at 2A but only when you're not charging the spare battery. I do not have the link as I saw it while randomly browsing through S4 docks on eBay. It's easy enough to find.
No, thanks. If it could cook my eggs and ham, it would be too bulky. LOL!
I looked through roughly 150 listing on eBay. I saw a whole bunch that said 1A output. And a few that were 700 mA, and at least one that was 500 mA. And exactly one model, available from a few different vendors, that said 1.6A output.
I did not see any that said 2A output. Just because the wall wart can supply as much as 2 amps, doesn't mean the charger will actually output that much to the phone.

My advice, is you should risk it.
If you're looking a product with such precise specs, I'm afraid you're not going to find it.
I messaged several different ebay sellers last night to ask if their charger is really only 1A and if they'll be having a 2A model. So far, I've gotten responses from 3 or 4. All of them have said sorry, we only have 1A. Please note, it will charge more slowly.
Update info. This may be old news to many, but here it is.
I had an online chat with a Supervisor at Seidio this morning. Their website has 2 charging docks for the S4 and neither lists charging output.
They told me that the dock will output whatever the wall adapter supplies. The charging dock is a passthrough. So, if I use the stock OEM charger with the Seidio dock, my phone will (allegedly) still receive 2A of charging current.
This may have been intuitively obvious to some, but it wasn't to me.
So, my quest is now much easier. Apparently, the docks I looked at on eBay that say 1A charging output must say so because the supplied wall adapter only provides 1A. And ones that say that but don't include the AC adapter are just making an assumption about that AC adapter you'll use.
BUT, though the phone charging port may be a passthrough, the slot for charging a second battery (on docks that offer that) would have the charging logic/circuitry built into the dock, so that could still be limited to 1A or less. At least, that's what I think. Could be wrong.
Regardless, i ordered a cheap dual charging dock off eBay that should be here by Friday. Using Galaxy Charging Current (a free app in the Play store), my phone shows 1900 mA charging current when plugged into the OEM charger directly. After I get the dock I ordered, I'll test that and report back.
If the dock will charge the phone at full speed, I can live with the spare battery being charged more slowly.

It's NOT a dock but a charger and it does come with an OEM spare battery. It charges a battery from 0 to 100% in about 4 hours, which is faster than your phone would deplete a battery, even when gaming. Paid $47, no shipping from Amazon
I see the price have changed a bit meanwhile but it's worth it if they still don't charge any shipping. Ships directly from Korea (made in Korea - both, charger and battery)

Hope it works out. The dock i ordered from seidio for my evo 3d did not charge at full power with the supplied adapter. I used a diff cable and power source and the results were better, but still not very good. Most nights I simply removed the cable and plugged the phone directly to it bypassing the dock, kind of defeated the purpose. I hope to find one that keeps the S4 charged.
Well, I received my eBay dock today, 2 days early. It is this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111066155507?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
And when I plug it in and put the phone in it, I get a message that the connected charger is not compatible with this phone. And the phone shows a red X over the battery icon in the notification bar, and doesn't charge at all.
I tried it using the OEM charger and cable, the cable that came with the dock, and I also tried both cables using my OEM charger that came with my Note 10.1 tablet.
Exactly one time, when I put the phone into the dock, it didn't display a message and Galaxy Charging Current (app in Play) showed that it was charging at 1900 mA. But, several times before, and every time after that, it just displayed the message and wouldn't charge at all.

I've seen that and that's a big "no way". My normal deal is, if I run out of battery, it's because I'm out and about. Traveling on a plane. Riding my motorcycle. Whatever. Situations where I don't have the option to plug in. So, I swap batteries on the go and the charge when I get to where I'm going.
This charger on Amazon would require me to carry it, plus my phone charger, plus an additional phone charger to run the separate battery charger. If I were just going to share my phone charger between the phone and the separate charger, I would rather just have the phone on the charger and, when it's fully charged, swap batteries, to charge the next one - not swap the charger cable over to the separate battery charger.
if I were going to go the route of a separate battery charger, I would spend $7 or so on eBay on one of the ones that has a flip-out plug built in and plugs right into the wall. That is the kind I have been using for a while to charge my Rezound batteries when traveling.
The biggest problem with those is that they charge the battery at something like 350mA. Ridiculously slow!

...buddy, that's EXACTLY what this is. It simply gives you the option of charging another OEM battery (in the charger NOT in the phone) BEFORE you go out and about and then swap them as you need.
NO, it's NOT charging as slow as you suggest. They use a technology called direct charge which means that it draws as much (or as little) as your wall plug allows it. In other words if you plug it in the PC USB, then yes, you'll have to wait until you grow a nice thick beard, but if you plug it in your original 2A charger, it'll charge the battery from 0-100% in about 4 hours or less.

Absolutely NOT true:
1. You ONLY need to carry the charger if you plan on recharging the depleted battery BEFORE doing another swap - that's at least 12-15 hours on EXTENSIVELY using BOTH batteries - that's 12-15 hours screen on!!!
2. ONE phone charger can be used on either/or - you'll never have to charge them both in the same time (that's the idea with swapping the batteries, right?)

Up to you buddy, but usually you get what you pay for. The one I suggested comes with an OEM battery. I always suggest using this method over any battery pack as an OEM battery will ALWAYS give you just as much "juice" (this translates into running time) as the...yeah, you guessed it, the Original Equipment Manufacturer's battery. Although the battery packs manufacturers, they all claim huge capacities and running times, this mostly never holds true to the advertised specifications. It's called marketing

I don't think you're getting me. The point is, I get to the end of the day and I need to charge my phone AND the battery I used up. In order to charge both at the same time, using this Samsung separate battery case/charger, I would have to have 2 actual chargers. One to attach to my phone, to charge that battery, and one to attach to the separate case/charger.
Get it now?
More detailed:
- I start the day with 2 fully charged batteries. One is in the phone.
- I ride my motorcycle all day, streaming music via Bluetooth to my helmet, and talking on the phone while I'm riding.
- Before I'm done riding for the day, my battery dies, so I swap it.
- I continue riding, etc.
- I get where I'm going and I'm ready to go to bed.
- I now have a dead battery in one hand and phone with a partly depleted battery in the other hand. I want them to both charge while I'm sleeping.
This separate case/charger does not help me.

No offense, but I believe you don't get it. You say: "I need to charge my phone AND the battery". I should ask you then, do you still need to charge your phone and the BATTERIES (this is the plural, meaning two or more) should you go by my suggestion?
Either, or, if you're such a heavy user and you find yourself at the end of the day with 2 or more depleted batteries on a regular basis, then this becomes even more handy - admittedly, yes, using a second wall plug...or, again, if you're such a heavy user, then buy a 3rd OEM battery - case solved. (1 charger, 2 extra batteries, 1 USB cable, 1 wall plug)

You obviously didn't read my whole last post. Otherwise, you would understand that saying "I need to charge my phone AND the battery" is a short way of saying "I need to charge the battery that's in my phone (but not totally dead yet) AND the battery that I depleted earlier in the day."
And if I added a 3rd OEM battery (which you would also see that there is no need for, if you read my whole previous post), it still would not change the fact that, at the end of the day, I have 2 batteries I need to charge and only 1 wall charger to use. So, the separate case/charger still does not help.
If I charge the battery in my phone and then want to use my one and only wall charger to charge the battery that's in the case/charger, I may as well just swap the batteries and charge the second battery in my phone. Thus, I would save running down the battery that's in my phone while the other battery is charging in the case/charger AND I would save spending $50 on the case/charger when I just used my coupon last night and got an OEM battery straight from Samsung for only $20.

OK, now I did get what you were saying (admittedly, I didn't read the whole post initially) but I still believe that carrying a second set (wall charger + USB cable) would render a better overall usage time without compromising on convenience or quality (again, due to using a certified OEM battery). Think about it, the only "compromise" you're making is carrying another set - which is nothing, both in terms of money and used space/volume.
So, your on-the-go package would consist of: 1 Samsung charger, 1 extra battery and 2 sets of wall chargers/USB cables.
Now, we're getting somewhere!
Your alternative would cost me something like $70 for the case/charger (w/battery) plus a second AC adapter.
My alternative will cost me less than $30. $20 that I already spent on a second OEM battery, plus less than $10 for a wall charger like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Charging-Cr...l_Phone_PDA_Chargers&var=&hash=item27d35082af
And I have less "pieces" to carry around.
Of course, the cheap wall charger won't charge the battery as quickly. But, I have been using a charger just like that for my Rezound batteries for a while now and it always seems to manage to get the job done overnight.
However, the PREFERRED solution is what I asked about in my OP in this thread. I want a dock that will supply full power to the phone and a spare battery at the same time. As I posted later in this thread, it now seems that most any charging dock should supply full power to the phone (as long as the AC adapter is providing 2A). Those docks still won't probably give full power to charge the spare battery, but I can live with that. So, with a dock like that, I would carry the same number of "pieces", but I'd have the advantage of having a dock to prop my phone up next to the bed, so I can see it.

I can 100% attest to this NOT being true. I have my OEM Samsung S4 2A charger hooked up to my Seidio Innodock Jr. at it receives a MAX of 1020mA. Yes, I realize it isn't the exact charger you are looking for since it doesn't have the spare battery compartment, but Seidio is NOT being truthful to you when they say that it is "a passthrough" dock. Just a heads up!

I have both and they do not display the same data. As far as I can tell, GCC shows the actual full incoming current. OTOH, BMW shows the current being used to charge the battery.
When I plug in my OEM charger, GCC shows 1900. But, if the screen is using 100 and other stuff running is using another 100, the BMW would only show 1700.
So, as far as your post about the Innodock, if GCC shows 1020, then that's what I would believe. But, if it's BMW that's telling you 1020, then that could simply be because there is other stuff using almost 900 mA of current.
For the record, I looked through my BMW Usage log from last night when my phone was on the charger. The log shows every 5 minutes, I think. It only had one log entry where it showed 1992. All the rest were in the 1500 - 1600 range or less. And the phone screen was off that whole time.
Hi! I saw plenty of wireless charging pads on ebay, that can be put under the phone cover, but will they fit under the basic battery cover? Do I need to buy a thicker extended cover, does anyone have experience with these stuff?
I've been using one for months now and love it.
The one I have fits great under the stock cover.

been using one that i bought from amazon and it works great and works with the default battery cover no need to buy a thicker cover

QI charging works for me, even when the phone's off. I love it. I have one of those stick-on pads that uses the phone contacts.
Sent from my SCH-R970 using XDA Free
I have a wireless charger kit I got from a Chinese shop, it works great. Charges as fast as plugging it in.
I got it mainly because my last phone had the USB connector start to fail from repeated usage. I also have a bluetooth dongle on my PC and that's how I transfer photo to it, so my phone pretty much never gets plugged-in.

Pics of your QI pad, QI charger with phone screenshot charging data on QI wireless pls. If not, it never happened as pads are usually tagged up to 650-700 mAh, some could be tagged at 1000 mAh (but can not charge at that rate even if the QI charger is good, had one and tossed it away cause of bulge too).
I have the Ravpower QI charger tagged at 1000 mAh, Ravpower slim pad rated at 650 mAh and that's exactly what I'm getting from it - 650 mAh charging.
Dunno how could you get from 1200 to 1600 mAh from yours though... unless you consider 650 mAh rate as a "normal" charging rate.
Btw, you can transfer w/e you like via WiFi and with some good WiFi manager app, it's a lot faster then BT sheite.
@OP, you might search a bit on XDA re QI wireless charging pads and chargers. There are slim and not so slim pads. My advice is to calculate good as each and every one of them is going to get you a slight bulge on your phone back, no matter which one you choose. Better choose a ultra slim then a 1mm one...
Remedy would be to cut out a battery cover and use a good protective case in case you opt for a slim and tiny pad. Might not like that, but that's an option if you want your phone laying down on flat surface as it is now - flat on the flat surfaces.

Yeah, good to see your 600 mAh pad (based on the photo of it from your link) is charging at (what?) rate... say at least 1200 mAh (?), while your QI charger is outputting at max 1000mAh? :silly:
See, IMO it still does not compute and you can't get nothing more then 600-650 mAh from it, let alone 1000 mAh seen your pad is tagged at max. 600 mAh.
Showing the back of your charger is proving nothing at all, just so you know it, even your perception of charging times suggests something different.
@OP: Good QI and wireless charging will give 650-700 mAh tops, while on the AC charger and original cable can range from 1000 to 1600 mAh. On good and advanced USB PC ports you could get up to 1000 mAh (my case with Maximus Formula 6 USB ports).

Well boo-hoo princess, you are simply wrong.
It does charge very quickly, much faster than the previous one I had and about as fast as plugging the phone in. I don't have to plug the phone in to charge it any more or transfer photos so the USB port in it is going to last quite a long time.
@OP: sorry for this OT, but this guy seem to be writing a whole bunch of pompous ideas on his personal perception of the QI charging on SGS4.

"Boo-hoo princess" at me? "About fast as plugging the phone in"? What a true comedian you are... I can only grin and lol at your statements.
Wake up from that crazy dream of yours and quit blabbing around, spouting nonsenses. Technical facts all around XDA and Internet re adopted, custom implemented QI charging are not backing up your statement at all, alongside me telling you that imputing 2000 mAh from the wall charger that can be outputted up to max 1000 mAh from YOURS no name OEM QI charging unit to the no name OEM QI pad module, while you're using a no name OEM QI pad of 650 mAh max on a secondary battery contacts of your SGS4 phone = recharge rate of 1200-1600 mAh(???) = as fast charging rate as on wall charger(???)
Yeah right!
You're the new Tesla alright...:silly:
Then again... Continue writing that BS of yours and continue telling others to believe they'll pull 1200 to 1600 mAh charging rate from a no name POS combos on their SGS4. Bonus and btw, do continue using that slow BT instead of a WiFi for your transfers. I'm sure BT yields a better transfer rates then WiFi B/G/N if you're the one using it. I'm also certain that many users will follow your lead and advices. :good:

I did some careful checking and it the wireless charging starts at around 850 ma. The Ac charger I have starts at 1100 ma so a bit less than what I thought but a lot more than what you thought.
And because you're an arse you are now the first on my ignore list.
I did the palm pre mod, and I would not reccommend it. I fould that ot bulked out the case and made cases fit weird. If you do wireless charging i would get the legit one
I use a Qi wireless charging sticker/pad I got for $12 on ebay or Amazon (i forgot). The bulge under the original battery cover made the phone difficult to fit with my UAG case, so I bought a spare battery cover ($5 on ebay) and cut an opening to match the charging pad. I covered the opening with vinyl sticker to prevent dust from getting in. Now it fits perfectly in my UAG and Speck Candyshell cases. I use a LG WCP-300 charger that outputs at 1A.

Your transmitter is a fake yijieneng, I get these for USD 7 each, the receiver is a powerqi, can't confirm from the link if it's a real or fake one.

No samsung phone supports qi wireless charging pass 650mAh, no matter what the input states on the receiver.
Anything above 1000mAh will generation too much heat, only the LG G2 can charge upto 996mAh.

So true! Also the heat is the major breaking factor in wireless charging (all should know that and thank you for pointing that out), but that particular troll hid under his cozy little rock thinking he can get 1200 to 1600 mA out of his, now rectifying to obnoxious 1100... LOL at him and his BS comments.
I just hope no one will listen to his BS crap.

When it comes to qi wireless charging, I think I'm quite experienced on this, afterall, I've been with these for a good few years before it actually became a mainstream product, I also get many of the new stuff first hand, not to mention I was offered test a A4WP wireless charging sample, but I turn the offer down.
Is there such an accessory like this? Battery case but uses qi wireless instead of micro usb plugged on the phone.

Unlikely, wireless charging is very inefficient, so the useful capacity of a case like that would not be large (not to mention the coils are pretty large and heavy)
Dont really understand what u mean with battery case, but I ordered this one 10.000mah powerbank with QI wireless charging and should get around 1-2 weeks (I hopes). If its what u mean?

Nah, s6 have already a built-in wireless charging capability.
Lol, he's talking about a power case with built in battery/case at the same time. That has an wireless charging capability so he doesn't have take out the phone from the case to wirelessly charge or have to plug a USB into the case. As for the question. No there isn't any that I came across so far, and if there is, it would cost an arm maybe a leg too.
Did you ever find one?
The Incipio Off Grid (http://www.incipio.com/chargers/off...-extended-battery-case-samsung-galaxy-s6.html) is almost there. You can charge the case wirelessly, but the phone still connects via USB to the case.
Galaxy S7 got an official one: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-TG930BBUGUS
If you want a case with working wireless charging capabilities, this is the best option:
http://www.tylt.com/power-cases/energi-sliding-power-case-for-samsung-gs-gs6-edge
It's bulky but the power sleeve is there when you need it!
check out makezens.com as well
I got one in from aliexpress.com but there output voltage is very low! so no point! and the rest are expensive for my currency as they cost like 100$
There seems to be some confusion among posters about what exactly is being asked and why it may be needed. What is NOT being asked for is a battery case where the case charges wirelessly. Nor is the poster asking for a battery case slim enough to allow wireless charging of the phone when the case is on.
What IS desired is a battery case that connects to the phone via the Qi (wireless) charging connection and NOT via the microUSB port.
This is needed on occasion because charging via the microUSB port can be disabled due to shorts, port wear, or water exposure. My phone currently is in this state where it can ONLY charge via wireless. When I need power on the go, there is no good option (other than rubber-banding a wireless power pack to my phone, which is absurd). Additionally, power cases connecting via microUSB cannot work with my phone for this reason (none of the products posted in this thread will work).
So with that cleared up, has anyone seen the rare unicorn of a power case that charges wirelessly?

Pretty sure I saw one on Best Buy website because I thought about getting it myself. But that's been about a year ago.
I bought this external battery pack because I wanted something to power my Nexus 6p, with rapid charging. I can confirm that this battery pack registers as charging rapidly on the lock screen. This charger also can charge 3 devices at once. It has a USB type c port, 2.4a USB port and a quick charge 2.0 USB port. The charger still delivers enough amperage for rapid charging while charging 2 devices at the same time as shown in one of the pictures.
Finally this charger has 4 indicator lights on it to display how much capacity is left in the power bank. The size of this power bank is a little bigger than a nexus 6p and it comes with 2 USB type A to micro USB cables. Overall this power bank is a great value and already came in handy many times!
I received mine today too its great!
Wow, that one battery badboy! May get one...
Been happy with mine.

Nice! Wish it came in 10000 mAh
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Free mobile app
I really like mine. I pretty much use it wherever I go. I actually bought two one for home and one for work.
hows the weight on this thing? Seems beastly ... is it pocketable? Id like to get one but concern about the size. I'm used to easily putting an extra battery in my pocket so not being able to replace battery will take some getting used to. Wish this came in like 10,000mah at half the size
weight is fine, but it's too thick and wide to be pocketable. I've posted more in depth in the other thread for this, but it's a really good product that delivers fast charging and plenty of juice

Ehh, if you have small pockets it isn't pocketable. I can fit it in my back pocket, it sticks out the top of course, but it does fit.
I bought this thing also, LOVE IT.

Yes this thing would be tough to fit into a pocket, but it if you have a bag you bring with you (backpack) then you'll be fine.

I have one that's 15kmah has two USB ports, one that supports Quick Charge.

If you mean to recharge the 6P with the power bank, it seems to be the exact same speed as the stock charger, around 100 minutes for 1-100%.
i think he meant how long to charge the ravpower battery pack using the official Google 6p charger.

The ravpower charges via micro USB not USB type c. I haven't checked how long to charge it but I'll let you know as soon as I drain it.

After owning a Nexus 6 I don't want to have a phone without wireless charging. These wireless charging receivers work great with the mix, i've tried two different models and I am super happy with how things work
this model claims to be fast charging, and it definitely is much faster than the other model i tried
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LX0Y5CS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
combine this with a fast wireless charger
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H76NIAS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
or this Anker i use in the car in combination with a fast charge 3.0 car charger
https://www.amazon.com/gp/css/order-history/ref=nav_nav_orders_first
Anker quick charge 3.0 wall charger
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016LO4UTA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
anyways, now that i have quick charge 3.0 chargers everwhere and quick charge wireless charges it really is pretty fast. it charges wirelessly around 990mA, which isn't as fast as plugging in directly but with the insane battery life this phone has it is fine for me. I can drive in my car while casting my phone's screen to my head unit with gps on full time and playing music and the screen on low brightness and it still charges wirelessly.
the receiver is so thin i barely know it is there behind my case.
anyways, if you miss wireless charging this solution works well

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. A couple of questions:
1. You said "it charges wirelessly around 990mA" - how did you measure the charging rate? Is it a reading from Ampere app from Play Store, or something else? Also, is is the peak or average current?
2. You said "i barely know it is there behind my case" - is your receiver sticker from your first link actually *inside* the case, or *outside*, coming in direct contact with the charger from your second link? If it is outside - would you mind putting it inside the case for a minute, and measuring the charging current with Ampere app when the phone case is between the receiver sticker and the charger? TIA

yes, this is with Ampere measuring.
all measurements are inside the case, as in the sticker is stuck directly to the phone with the case overtop of it.
with this new case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70603907&postcount=20 i really do not even know the sticker charger is there, it lines up perfectly with the case at the bottom and there is no added bulge at all in the back.

I also use a sticker receiver and the case, and while I cannot recommend the sticker (or maybe it's my charger?) that I use, because Ampere tells me I only get 200-300mAh charging current on average - the case I'm using is really awesome (I have black version with golden frame): http://www.ebay.com/itm/322333960673
I'm hoping if I get your sticker and this charger (this is the new version of the same one you linked) I'll also get around 1A wireless charging current.

yes, i had the Nillikin sticker receiver before this one i linked that claims fast charging. with the Nillikin i got similar results as you get now around 200-300mah.
only when all parts in the process were fast charge did i actually see a difference. the sticker must be fast charge, the qi charger must be fast charge, and of course you must have a fast charge 3.0 wall charger. i was actually surprised it worked, but it does.
I'm going to try that case you linked too one of the few i haven't tried yet.
Lads in regards to wall chargers Ive got recently the dodocool 3.0 charger and it is way faster comparing to the genuine one! Really impressed! build quality is very good too! (no numbers on charging yet as I did not have time to do it...)
