rev 10 and wireless charging

The first run (rev. 10) has poor compatibility with a lot of qi chargers so I have steered clear until now. Now that prices have come down and it isn't quite as niche a product as it was a year ago I'm thinking about it again.
There are a lot of them to sort through so I figured I'd ask the forum while I continue my own searching. What name brand (not ebay generics) qi chargers have you found that work perfectly with a rev. 10 n4? I'm definitely looking to avoid charge/not charging loops and not keeping the phone topped off.
Particularly I'm interested in the new Nexus Wireless Charger and the TYLT VU but I haven't been able to find specific examples of them with rev 10. Feel free to make other suggestions.

Sorry I'm lost .. what is rev. 10? (and how do I check what rev I have)
Are there listed differences by rev as well? Never nind.. found them here http://celltraderonline.com/showthr...e-Difference-Nexus-4-REV-10-Vs-Nexus-4-REV-11
I did high tech manufacturing for over a decade and many consumers don't realize that cost reductions, part changes, improvements etc occur all the time and are tracked by the manufacturer in many different ways. The worst way is by serial number... other ways include revisions, product codes, release numbers etc.

I've been using the Panasonic charge pad with my Rev11. Beautiful device.

The early revisions 10/11 are known to be particularly qi picky (especially with the old nokia chargers). You can see the revision in the bootloader.

well i do have to say that i saw this, my friend who lived in usa got a n4 and it was rev_10, when he came to my home he tried to charge hes n4 with my nokia qi charger and it didnt work. i tried with mine(rev_14) and it worked. also some nfc tags didnt work on hes n4, but i bet its a revision issue.

I wake up with my Nexus 4 around 87% with the Panasonicm I pick it up check my stuff and throw it back down when I get ready. Not a big issue, but the fact I can throw it on anywhere is perfect.

My usage pretty much requires a full charge when I wake up so while I agree the Panasonic seems to be a great charger it just isn't for me.
I took a small keep of faith and used the 30% T-Mobile discount to experiment with the TYLT VU. Happily I'm able to report that it works flawlessly with my picky rev.10 model. I've yet to pick up my phone and have it read anything but charged or 100%.

i use LG WCP-300 to charge my rev10 nexus 4, works really well, really small too. bought it from the verizon online store.
1 thing to note is not to worry about the heat or overcharging, it will automatically stop charging when it reaches 100%.
review from our fellow member:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166837

Mine DOESN'T fully charge to 100% it slows at 95 and stops at 98 and I have to pull it off and wait a few minutes before putting it back on and it cuts off at 100% and that's not practical for me as it drops to around 90 overnight unlike my nexus 7 2013 which charges to 100 and stays there. That's why I charge nexus 4 with cable and nexus 7 wirelessly.

I dont have any issues on the Nexus ORB. It works fantastic and gets to 100%.

My N4 is a Rev 11 and I've had the TYLT VU for a couple of weeks now. The first several days it would only charge to 93% but lately it has started to charge to 96% or 98%, only once has it given me a full charge to 100%. I emailed the folks at TYLT over a week ago and have yet to receive a response. I'm not sure if it's the charger, the phone or if the battery stats are just wrong. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. I do like the charger though.

Quick charge 1.0, Quick Charge 2.0 or Fast Charge

Are any of the fast charge protocols supported by the OnePlus?
If so on which ROMS and what protocols?
Thanks,
D

Although snapdragons with 8xx chip have quick charge 2.0 but I'm not sure if oneplus one disable it to save money. My brothers Xiaomi Mi3 has quick charger 2.0 and he's ready to get one ..I'll try when he does(it will be nice if the phone charges faster although it's still quite fast but it woudn't hurt if it was even faster)
P.S. It's very weird no one has ever tried it.. or didn't post about it. I'm searching days now to see if anyone did it and tell the story ...still nothing

Only way I found to enable fast charge on this device is to use custom kernel like boeffla and increase the input current. By default it is ~ 1.2A. By using Custom kernel, you can tweak it to ~1.9A

Xiaomi power bank 16,000

Will it work with the nexus 6p usb c fast charging?
I have now LG G4 and it takes me 2.5 hours

The 16,000 mah right?
So how much time untill the phone is charged lets say for 0 to 100?
If at normal speed, fast charging takes around 90 minutes.

Yep.. Never charghed form 0-100 because i usually charge it when at 25%... from that value to 100 is something around 1h30

So it's somewhere around 2 hours for full charge.
But at least i know it'll work. Thanks!
Do you think it's worth the money to buy the new power bank 10,000 with the support of fast charging?

Thanks button is here in order to avoid thanking people by post, anyway, i will stay for sure with the 16A version, if you have to buy it just think if you need a smaller and faster thing or you just need something powerful for probably one-two more day autonomy. Consider that the 16A is not light at all, feels light a brick in hand

Is "quick/fast" charge working for anyone?

I recently purchased an S7 (no edge) and it mentioned it had a quick/fast charge feature.. great! Faster charging! However, I noticed that with actual use (with screen off I might add) it doesn't really charges that quickly over the normal charge. Maybe a few minutes less, but not much of a difference..
Anyone else having this issue? Using the global version, no root/no ROM (for now).

Of course it works, are you using the oem charger and cable?

Also make sure Fast Charging is enabled under Settings - Battery

Yes, using the stock charger that came with the device. Thus far, returned the S7 when I first received it due to the same 'fast/quick charging' not working. So, this is the second S7 device I'm having.

Fast Charging is enabled by default, so ya.. that's not the problem either.

Fast charging means tha from 0 to 60 % it charges fast (30 minutes) and after 60% it charges with normal speed.

are you sure about this information man ?

it works but you have to have it enabled in settings/battery.
Recently I noticed that my fast charger wasn't doing it's job as the charge rate was 'standard'. So I checked with old charger from Note 4 and it's cable, it worked wihtout issues as 'fast charge'. I ended up finding out that the problem was the cable I was using, it got damaged because of use and it's not helping the phone to detect the fast charger. So, just in case, change your cable and check again.

This is a stupid question, but did you plug in the cable correctly into the charger? Mine was like half-assed into it the first time and then quick charge doesn't work. Make sure you lube it up nice and wet and slide it in as deep as possible.

i bought one couple of days ago,and neither me, i dont see any difference between fast and normal charging

anyone with the Belkin boostup stand?

I had this for my 3XL and it works great to actually fast charge the phone. nIve noticed that my 4XL and my wife's 4 no longer charge rapidly. I know the 4 requires EPP and can't find anything saying the boostup has it, but a Google search turns up nothing about people having issues.
ive also figured out that once my 4xl reaches 100% on the boostup, it stops charging and doesn't start again. I haven't tested that with my wife's 4 yet, and haven't figured out if it exhibits the same behavior on other wireless chargers.

Go here and search for your exact model and see what it shows for power profile. Extended Power Profile (EPP) is what you'll need for fast charging on the Pixel 4.

The belkin boost up that worked specifically for the pixel 3 will not work well with the pixel 4. I have the same one. It will charge at 5 watt max and it also seems to intermittently stop charging at certain levels.

good to know, and thanks. according to the wpc site it does support EPP. I'm surprised I can't find anybody else complaining about this
