S View case with wireless charging

Does anybody know if the s view case with the wireless charging back supports fast charging wirelessly? If so which power mat would be compatible/recommended?

Wireless charging doesn't do fast charging.

I'd like to know too.

I have the S-View case with wireless charging, which wireless charger supports fast charging and I can get one and test it out. Does the latest Samsung one support it?
The other wireless chargers I tried with it tended to make it a little more hotter than I'd prefer.

The Note 4 does not support Fast Charging on the wireless pads. You can use the Samsung wireless charging pad that says "Fast Charge," but it will charge at the slower speed. I tried one, so I can verify this. I returned it, as the slower speed wireless pads are cheaper...If I had been able to keep my Note7, I would have kept the Fast Charge one.

Fast wireless car charger?

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?

Just found a generic Qi wireless charging receiver for Nexus 6P!

I was browsing on Aliexpress.com than I found this Qi wireless charging receiver and charging Pad for Nexus 6P. I don't know if its good or not, or if it has Quick Charging function(probably not) or not. Just want to share it to everyone that's looking for something like this.

Thanks for this. But there is already a thread about this...

According to the page it outputs 5V at 1A, definitely not fast charging... but I really wouldn't expect that on something like this.
I used to have a similar style micro USB QI charger I used in the past and it worked fine on my Micro USB devices.
For me quick charging is more important to me than the convenience of wireless charging. Unless you plan to use wireless charging exclusively I find having to take off and put on the adapter often a hassle.
Still nice find for those that really want wireless charging.

Does it work? Did you tested it already? Can you give me a little feedback? Thanks!

Don't know if this is even possible, but it would be perfect if there was one of these qi receivers with USB C that had a kind of pass through USB C plug, so that you could have the qi receiver plugged into the phone, but still be able to plug in a USB C cable from the wall when you want the faster charger.

That wouldn't be possible without breaking the USB spec, and making it really bulky. These little qi receivers are easy to unplug, so that shouldn't be a big concern.

What about if you were to stick the qi receiver to the back of the phone and then put a case on over the phone and receiver, can you still unplug it fairly easily when you want to use the USB wall charger?

That's what I was implying rather than using a pass through. There's still a possibility the receiver will not work if directly touching the phone depending on how it's made, so once it can be confirmed working that should be fine.

Oh ok. I may go ahead and order one and give it a try. I just thought maybe with a case on over it, that the case may pinch the cable of the receiver and not allow you to be able to unplug it from the phones USB port without removing the case first (which would be a pain).

I might order one too since I have a plethora of wireless chargers for my S7 Edge. I'm hoping they made it correctly so it can be in direct contact with the phone (I.e. jts shielded correctly)

I have a bunch of chargers as well from my s6. So excited to get this and use them again.

OK so got mine today and works as advertised. Tonight will be the first night to test. It's slower that's for sure when it comes to charging. The nub that plugs in isn't too big, which is nice. Takes some getting used to.
If you got time on your hands and have a wireless charge handy all the times then I would recommend this. If you dont have time then stick with usb c charging ad it's faster.

Does it heat up at all? Would it be safe under a TPU case? I've ordered one along with a N6P so just waiting for the deliveries now.

Doesn't heat up, at least not that I have observed. I am using a tpu case. The fosmon cases and not an issue at all with charging.

I've got my receiver and it looks pretty good. The plug is a bit thicker than I expected, but then it seems very sturdy. Unfortunately I don't have the actual handset yet so still waiting to use it. Hopefully it will slot in nicely behind a Diztronic case.

Pictures with a case around it would be nice

Wireless charging by way of USB Type-C receiver

Hey everyone. I know I'm late but I just recently got my new Nexus 6P and have been looking for accessories. I know previous Nexus devices have had wireless charging and wondered if this was possible for the 6P. I came across this on Amazon and wondered if anyone else has tried it or something similar.
Type-C Wireless Receiver, DISDIM Type C Qi Wireless Charger Receiver for LG G5, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nokia N1,Huawei P9 and More (Black)

I've used something similar, and it works fine, but it's annoying not having the usb port available.

I was thinking of leaving a little slack on the cord which could hopefully allow the USB type c connector to hang a little if I wanted to plug in. Anyway, how was your usage and charging like?

I have one and it's great. Never had an issue with it. It can be annoying to not have access to the port but pros and cons.

Charges very slow on mine. Hoping maybe a higher output charger can speed it up but not holding my breath

I got one from Amazon and it work's great. The actual plug bit sticks out a bit, but it's great to have wireless charging back. It is a little annoying to have to keep unplugging it for updates tho.

What charging pad are you using to actually get good results? I plugged mine in at night and it says 6 hours till fully charged. When I wake up it still says 6 hours till fully charged
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I bought one from amazon and got the belkin qi chargers and both charge at a normal rate. Not fast charge by any means but it's normal charge for sure. I can go from 10% to full in the 6 hours I sleep overnight so. Just don't cheap out in the qi charger and you will be fine.
Edit. Got my tilt one from wish/geek.com

I've got the same one c_86 mentioned in black. Works a treat.

Isn't it possible to design a QI Wireless Charger Receiver that has a a pass-through USB-C input ? So you can charge it wireless, but also plug it in whenever necessary without unplugging the wireless charger adapter ?
THere's a market for that !:silly:

By the time some engineered that. And created it they will have done wireless charging in metal phones and there will be no need for it.

Metal?! Are u serously sure?! Metal can affect wireless charging u know. But on the other hand, just imaging how cool to have an iron phone.

Thanks. I'm fully aware of that. But I know they are working on it and are close to solving the issue.
I've seen press releases of them working on it (wireless charging working on a aluminum cased phone)

If this is solved it should be GOOD

Works fine but like all wireless charging, you have to be aware that it's slow. So slow that if you're navigating or streaming, it won't be able to keep up (which is why Google didn't include it on this phone, IMHO). It's annoying to have to unplug it every time I need a fast charge, so I hope someone builds that pass-through solution.

Google didn't include because they haven't figured out how to get wireless charging to work with aluminum phones yet. It's in the works

Not all Fast Wireless Qi Chargers Working

I have had the S7 Edge for the last year. Because I love fast wireless charging, over that time I collected 6 different Fast Wireless Qi Chargers. They all worked great with the S7 Edge. However, in testing them with my new S8+, ONLY two of them work. The other 4 do not work. Instead it sends the phone into a loop where it says "Fast Wireless Charging" then immediately "Wireless Charging Paused".
Again these all worked with my S7 Edge - why wouldn't they also work with the S8+? I have tried all the chargers using the same charger and power cord as well as with two different QuickCharge 2.0/3.0 chargers and cords. Regardless, the two work and the other 4 do not. What am I missing? Is there some special thing the charging pad needs on the S8+ that wasn't necessary to fast wireless charge the S7 Edge?

I would just get official one. Refurb last years model cheap on amazon

I think this may be more of a problem with their phones. I had a note 5 that did that right out the box. Would go on and off wireless charging. Even now I just put the s8 on an aftermarket wireless charger and didn't get anything at all

Mine s8 doesn't like my Otterbox case with the new leather Samsung wireless charger. I have to position it just right.

I have the same problem with my Samsung fast charger (EP-NG930). The problem only exists during fast charging. If I plug in a 5V 2A adapter it will work fine. A Samsung technician in BestBuy confirmed my charger and phone are not compatible then tried to get me to buy a EP-NG920 or EP-PG950.
Samsung's phone support wants me to exchange the phone.
