Is there a such a thing?
Tired of having switching OEM cables that charge slowly.
What would you reccommend?
Anker cables are of good quality and cheap.

If you're willing to wait for shipping, there's this chinese brand UGREEN on aliexpress, I have some of their stuff, all chargers are high current and fast charging, high quality (better than good chargers from amazon imho) and DIRT CHEAP.
anker brand cables are way better than samsung charging cables. check on amazon.
I bought these a few months ago and they are great. They fit well with my case and they charge fast.

For those who want a high quality bluetooth speaker that has a battery back, check out this unit. It's 50% off at AT&T B&M store or online. for $149.99. It's $300 pretty much every where else. It even has NFC and QI Charging for wireless charging those phone that support it. Unfortunately it won't charge the S4 which I though has QI charging. Maybe it's a driver thing.
The speaker does sound superb. Better than the Big Jambox in my opinion.

Did you buy the wireless charging back cover? The S4 supports QI via the optional purchase of the qi-enabled battery door cover.

No I didn't. Will go look for it. This would make this speaker so much sweeter.

Yeah it would. If you're not in a rush, you should wait for chinese aftermarket qi adapters. They cost significantly cheaper than the official qi cover and I believe it does not add to the thickness unlike the official cover
This looks cool. Might be good for the kitchen.
I have been playing this in the operating room all day today. The sound quality especially bass response is just amazing even with suction, loud nurses, anesthesia machine. I ordered an aftermarket QI charging receiver. If it works this speaker would be unreal.

I am looking for an ORIGINAL NOT FAKE FROM SAMSUNG USB Charger cable FOR THE S4
My Spigen Neo Hybrid uses a special hole that accompanies Samsungs OEM charger. Chargers ANY bigger than OEM will not fit so I NEED the real samsung USB charger cable
Looking for either a eBay listing, amazon or something. Cheapest price please
Seller is here in Australia. Seemed too cheap to be true but the received item is identical to my original which disintegrated!

Samsung website has it for $40, but it also comes with the 2.0a wall charger, but if you sign your phone up and register it on samsungs website you'll get an email for 50% off on things under $50. You can also grab another spare battery for like $50 lololol but still hope it helps. And this is as close to 100% real as you can get.

I ordered this one and I also have a Neo Hybrid case. It fits perfectly and it looks just like the one that came with the phone. The only thing is that the wall piece makes my touchscreen act weird (not quite as responsive) while charging. The cord works great though and it charges fast.

I recently got two PMA chargers for the S6 and where I have to wait until Saturday to get mine (on vacation right now) I was wondering if anyone has tried to use the pma charging method and see if the S6 has a magnet to help align the pma charger like other phones that support pma

The S6 is Qi, not PMA.

It does have a very slight magnet, and at first i thought my wrist had gone numb or something. it's not strong either which i like. it's just enough to let you know where to place it to charge. I got this after another XDA user posted this incredible deal.

Interesting, I'm not sure how I wasn't aware of that. I was going to buy the duracell powermat combo, but didn't at the last minute because I only saw Qi when I checked. Not sure how I missed it.

A Qi charger is only $15, plus Qi is the wireless charging standard for all other Android phones. If you get a PMA charger, it most likely won't work with your next phone.

The one we got is $9 and comes with a portable battery pack that can also be charged simultaneously with the S6 charging too. Also I don't care about what the standard is in 2 years because there will most likely be newer wireless charging technologies like Qi 2.0 or something and by then i'll probably get the newer technology. Also the S7 might also have a PMA/Qi combo again.

Do you know the specs on that portable battery pack? my guess is it's smaller than the battery in the S6, and charges incredibly slowly. I'm simply saying that for $5 more you can buy a wireless charger that will work with all newer wireless charging capable phones, instead of one that only works with the S6 or phones with specific cases.
I bought a Qi charger when the G2 came out, and not much has changed over the last 2 years, it still works and charges just as fast as any you can buy today. In fact, I believe they still sell that model.

try $5 LESS >> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QHRM4F4
I'll be testing them out and compare, but there's a review of Qi charging pads on the accessories forum, and this one was fairly well rated. They all charge the phone within 2-3min of each other, but when charging over night, that's largely irrelevant to me anyways.
I got two of the duracell powermats last week in black with the extra battery for the iphone 4. I pulled the circuit out of the iphone 4 case and will try to make it work with another phone

Hey so you got it to charge the S6? I ordered the same thing from Amazon but it wouldn't charge. Already sent it back. I tried different positions all over the pad. I will say that my S6 has a very thin Elago case on it, I didn't try without the case because that kind of defeats the purpose of "drop the phone on the pad and walk away".

Yes it charges a Verus and Rickle something (sorry can't remember) case. They are clear ones that have a back. I have a wallet case that holds three cards but it doesn't charge with that case
So I got hold of a Samsung Wireless Charging pad for £10 thanks to a £30 Samsung voucher. Thing is it really isn't worth £40 given it's just the pad no cable or wall plug.
Samsung want to charge £18 for a cable and £30+ for a wall plug.
The phrase price gouge springs to mind! Anyone else think it's a bit of a rip off £40 for a bit of plastic and as any XDA worth his or her salt knows about £1.50 worth of wire and circuits.
Still must be nice in Samsungs world scoring that sort of markup!
True
its not really a issue for me, my gs6 comes with the wire and fast charging plug, but it would be nice to have them included with this. im guessing they didnt because the fast charger is expensive
EDIT: just received my gs6 wireless charger and it came with the usb cable and wallplug from samsung, its not adaptive fast charging, just a regular samsung wallplug
In the US I got the official SGS6 wireless charger as part of the bestbuy deal and that came with the usb cable and wall plug.
The one here in the US comes with a matching charger and cable.

Bought from Samsung in the UK all you get is the pad no cables or power brick. small box you couldnt get anything more than the pad in their.
This wireless charger is one of today's deals on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Wireless-PowerPort-Charging-Qi-Enabled/dp/B00Y839YMU/ref=dp_ob_title_wld
I've heard a pretty substantial amount of good reviews for this charger, so I'm thinking of picking it up since it's only $15. I was also looking into getting an OEM LG wireless charging back, but I'm not willing to pay $50+ for it. Ran across the NeWisdom Qi sticker and it seems to have mixed reviews: http://www.amazon.com/NeWisdom-Wire...sr=8-1&keywords=lg+v10+wireless+charging+chip
Was wondering if anybody has had experience with the NeWisdom Qi sticker. Any overheating? Went bad after a while? Ect.
THE TEAM!!!

Dont bother...I've tried several wireless charging sticker/Qi combos and it just drains the battery.

So i bought the new Wisdom sticker off Amazon. I'll say this--i used a hair dryer as the instruction indicates--and peeled the original NFC only sticker off (or so i thought) and applied the new wisdom. It would register like it was charging but not actually charge as dr_w indicates above.
HOWEVER...frustrated i looked at a couple videos and noticed that the battery doors with the sticker fully removed didn't look like mine. With an exacto knife i picked at the remaining black area only to find there was still copper wire underneath. In effect the original NFC sticker had multiple layers and i'd only peeled off the top. Getting ALL of it up was a challenge...like a real challenge...it did not peel off i had to scrape with a knife for an extended period of time.
At the end of the day though once i had the original sticker all the way off i reapplied the New Wisdom Sticker (which surprisingly survived multiple attempts at reapplying without ill effect). Then setting it on my Spigen charger stand and running the Ampere app i was amazed at how well it was charging. It actually was over 1000ma at one point and after finding it's range (it starts low and builds) it averaged at about 800ma. That was decent enough to charge my phone pretty quick. For reference fast charging is like 1350--1500ma or so. In comparison the Monroy wireless back i bought from Amazon that already had a sticker applied (presumably NOT New Wisdom) typically does maybe 350-500ma.
So the bottom line is it was WAY more of a pain than i anticipated but now i'm stoked and actually rather impressed with the performance.
LEt us know if its consistent. I've had a very similar experience before it began discharging at a rapid rate. Thanks for the post, I'll keep checking back.
Originally had a cheap sticker off eBay that lasted several months, about 3,then the chip in the phone caved out. Got the newisdom the other day and got a Tylt charger to go with 2 Samsung fast chargers and no issues so far. The constant lighting up the phone when it's charged is annoying and the g4 tweaksbox doesn't seem to fix it.
I'm using the OEM LG wireless back and it's quite nice. Feels exactly like the original and fits very flush, no problems with wireless detection on my TYLT charger. I'm actually surprised at how little the back weighs as my understanding is the copper coils should add some noticeable weight but in this case it doesn't. Maybe not that much copper in these OEM backs?
Just ordered an OEM wireless charging back for my V10 (a seller on Amazon has it for $29.99 atm though no prime shipping with the fastest option being expedited shipping) and due to the price, I'd imagine it already being sold out by the time this post is read. I didn't want to get the third party stickers as I want to keep my current back and the third party plastic backs are pretty horrible in terms of feel and fit.
Anyways, what do you guys recommend for a good wireless charging pad? The official Samsung pads look interesting enough as is and I've seen it work with every device with Qi built in or using one of those plug-in Qi pads you place inside a case before the phone though I'm gonna have to wait til my next paycheck to get a pad: already spend a good chunk of cash on an MSI RX 480 and only bought this back due to the steal of a price at $29.99, $36 with expedited shipping. It was that or go with prime and spend $60 on a back
Finally received my OEM wireless back. As expected, the battery door feels exactly like the original back albeit curves near the button cutout due to the extra elevation it adds. Also makes cases a tighter fit if you're concerned about compatibility. Works on my Yootech wireless charger as well as a friend's Samsung wireless charger and Tylt Vu 3, the last two having the best range in terms of surface since the Yootech seems to only have one coil. As for charging, going from 0-100% took about 2-3 hours and the phone got pretty warm too though just a smidgen cooler than it gets when quick charging via cable. The packaging DOES have the description for what would've been a wireless charging variant of the Quickview cover which would attach as a battery door too but I guess that didn't work after all the hullabaloo about the faulty Qi chip. Sucks that the LG logo simply takes place of the rather sexy V10 logo
Either way, I'd recommend getting an OEM back when you can though might wanna wait. Some listing still sell it for $60 a pop and even $100
