Or anything that allows you to charge a 2nd battery without it being in the phone? I'm about to purchase an OEM battery for backup and want to be able to have both fully charged, easily.
Damn, was hoping at least one other person has used one of these...
Anyway, I did some searching and found this. Anyone have any experience?

But haven't used the spare battery charger portion of it yet.

That's the one I use, and it charges both my phone and spare battery perfectly.
That one gives the appearance that the microUSB plug is pretty much the only thing holding the phone up. Is this the case? Because that concerns me...that connection is already seemingly loosening up, my car charger only charges the phone when the cable is in at a certain angle now, and when a cable is in I can wiggle it back and forth quite a bit. I don't want to put any more stress on that than I have to.
Opinions?
just found this one on ebay - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Cradle-Sync-...Accessories&hash=item20b1ac3894#ht_679wt_1137

I also use the $18 one.
Don't worry about the phone being held by the micro usb only, it's a trick of the eye.
The phone actually clicks into the dock and doesn't move one inch.
Excellent value for money.
Damn....I went ahead and bought the one I linked to above, thinking that you get what you pay for. It's on its way now...I guess I'll see if it was worth the extra money.
Also bought an extra stock battery, don't know how I feel about all of the aftermarket ones.

Update for those interested -- I received this dock yesterday, and it's quite nice. Very solidly built, the phone sits in it very nicely, and you can plug it in via the provided USB cable to your computer, or plug the USB cable into a provided USB/AC converter (a plug with a USB opening, basically). Since I haven't used the $20 one listed above I can't really compare, so I can't honestly say this is worth the $30 difference, but I don't foresee any problems with it, and I saw a couple of complaints in the reviews for the other one, so I'm happy.
I'm curious if anyone has purchased any kind of wireless charging unit for their Galaxy S 4. I think they are a neat idea but haven't tried one yet.
If so, can you recommend the brand you prefer and perhaps a link to it?
I'm curious to know if it charges at a manageable rate and is it efficient?
I have considered coughing up some good money on a couple of them if they work but don't want to go in blindly and haven't seen many reviews on them.

Some of them like this seem to maybe be worth it.
They are slow chargers.
I've read something about it here.
There are options out there. A lot cheaper.
Search this specific forum and you'll find the info.

I personally use my Zen wireless pads (mainly cause I've had them for a while) and just bought a wireless Insert from mobile fun. Works great. Yes its a slowish charge but can full charge over night while sleep np.

Charges at a rate about 1/3 the rate of the 2A charger (650mA). But it charges over night no problem. It's more economical to buy the insert and then buy a charging pad. Inserts usually run ~$20, with chargers running $30ish.

Yeah, that's the kind of info i'm looking for. I am interested in this because when I'm at work [I work for long periods of time] I'd like this to keep it charged. I often will pick my phone up to answer a text, or shoot an email or small things like check the weather quickly, or change my song on Spotify and then i'd like to set it back down to continue to charge.
I won't be using it for a regular charger, per se.
I'll just have to look into buying the insert and pad, seemingly cheaper than the options I was recommended previously.
I thought about this too, but read that they can heat up the phones charging this way and sometimes won't stop charging when full?
yes i have a insert receiver i paid £8 plus £17 for base on flea bay and it works perfectly ,i leave it on over night it charges 100% ,no heat or beeps.i am looking for a pad for my car now.
Some base stations aren't as good as others and will cause the device to heat up. Technically, they all cause the device to heat up but so does plugging it in.
I have three different base stations. The Samsung base, one from ebay(has a qi logo on it) and one from aliexpress(just has a wifi logo on it, and claims 1000 or 1500 output). The ebay one works very well, but makes an annoying loud beep when the phone is placed on it. The aliexpress base works allright but does cause the phone to heat up more than the other base stations.
The samsung base works fine, no annoying beep. But...it didn't come with a power cable so you have to use the cable that came with your phone to plug it up (in fact, it recommends a 2A charger for it). The other two both came with their own power cables.
I've not done tests to see what rates each of the base stations charge at but there's no noticeable difference.
Unfortunately, none of the wireless charging items I purchased have links to them anymore and I can't find comparable items. I wish I could just provide you with the companies I used that gave me the best results, but I just can't track them down.

If you are willing to do a little tweaking with the ebay one, you can rip off the top cover and cut off the speaker that makes the beep. I did that with mine and it stopped the beeping.
Is there not a kernel to increase the charging current on the wireless pads? There was for note 2 (neak kernel)?
I know that everyone is writing Powermat off as a failure but I just got an aftermarket insert for the S4 from a seller on Amazon - the reason why I chose Powermat is because I can use it in Starbucks and McDonald's - no real point in having wireless charging at home anyway. Can't do links but I guess if you search for 'pma thin receiver galaxy s4' you'll find it.
Sorry to bump such an old-ish thread, but I just got a QI patch for my S4, had it on my S3 and loved it. Works great and no issues whatsoever. Gets a tad bit hot but that's pretty much it. It charges at a decent rate.
I just picked up an S4 a few days ago that came with the wireless charging back. I am using a fatboy charging pillow that has the Nokia DT-900 plate in it that I got last year with my DNA. I've used several of the charging plates and they all work well and charge around 1A. What inserts is everyone talking about? What I have is the replacement back cover that includes the qi coil. It's slightly thicker and my issue has been finding a case that fits well over it. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I had been using the Nokia wireless transmitter before with my Note2. Just went on Amazon and ordered a $13 receiver and a UAG case. All works perfectly. Slight bulge on the battery cover but not noticeable with the UAG case on it. There is a slight weight difference but you have to expect that because the receiver is a copper coil.
Charging is slower than USB but perfect for night time recharging. =)

I guess you're talking about the official Samsung Qi transmitter. My experience with the LG WCP-300 is similar. I tested the S4 with the official Samsung receiver back and got 640mA current input with 4 different power supplies (2.1, 1.8, 1.2, & 1 amp).

Nope, none of the things I'm using at OEM. All after market. I think I mistyped and meant to say 640mA.

I just noticed you didn't get an answer yet. The inserts are three Qi receivers that look like thin patches of plastic with very thin copper wires in them. There are many on eBay & Amazon, but really they all look much the same. Prices seem to run from around $12 to just under $30. Some are known to interfere with the NFC function. All seem to create a slight bulge when you place them against the battery contacts and put the back cover on. Some listings give the thickness in millimeters.
Typical:

I don't know about real cases, but I got a bumper for $6.50 that I like:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BWZJOB8/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The only apparent flaw is that the charging back cover is barely recessed into the bumper. No scratches yet, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I'm curious about the amount of power the phone actually receives using the OEM charging back with the OEM Charin pad. Would you mind checking that & posting it here, please? You can use the free app Current Widget from the Play Store, and it'll help me decide between the OEM pad and a generic.

So, I realize there are many cradle/docks out there that offer wireless charging. What I'm looking for is one that can be angled, and that will charge my device as quickly in horizontal mode (so I can use it as an alarm clock on my nightstand) as it does in vertical mode. Any recommendations?

I use the TYLT wireless charging stand. It doesn't quick charge this phone, but no wireless charger does afaik. It works both horizontally and vertically though, and it will definitely charge it over the course of a night.

I'm getting this one tomorrow. I'll let you know how it works. It doesn't work. I tried different chargers.
I got this flat one for Christmas and it works really well too. The V10 doesn't support wireless fast charging but it's still very quick.
I use an app called Battery Graph Widget Pro to track my battery charging performance and usage on my home screen. I'll try and get the mA charging values from Ampere later for the stand.
The wireless qi back I'm using is this.
I received this one from Amazon on Sunday. The only negative I noticed when evaluating which to buy was that this one had an audible beep whenever it connected to device, however I also noticed in the reviews section a step-by-step guide on how to disable the beep. I decided to take a chance since the instructions seemed very straight forward. It arrived and I went ahead and did the procedure to stop the beep, and I am happy so far. I wanted one that would look good whether I had the phone upright or horizontal. Only negative so far is that the bottom doesn't seem to have rubber feet so it can slide around if you bump it. Also, the placement of the USB cable port could be better. Here's the link:
http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IR0CQ8E?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
I have tried a number of wireless docks, and the Tylt is hands-down the best of the best. Yes, it is more expensive, but there are zero issues with it and the OEM Qi back. No noise, no heat, 800-900 mA consistent charging at any position...fantastic dock. Learn from my mistakes and save your money until you can afford one. You will not be disappointed.
lovely, thanks

I've used the Samsung hockey pucks, the fast wireless one is really good. I dismantled one and built it into a plank to put in the dash of my car. For stands, the Samsung one sucks. It's concaved, so what 3 coils are in there won't reach the back of the V10. I have been using the stand from Verizon, it's got a much better angle than the Tylt. Tylt is 45 degrees, so it's not easy to see laying down, and the Verizon is at about 60 degrees. Bummer about the Verizon is I've killed 2 in a month, so I'm not giving it a ringing endorsement. I have seen the Choetech T516 on eBay and Amazon for less than $30, and it may be what I get next. 60 degree stand, aluminum frame.

I have been using the Choetech for a while now and can say that up until a few days ago, I LOVED it! The other night I woke up in the middle of the night to see that even though I had been asleep for about 5 hours, my phone was only about 35% charged. Ever since then, it has been charging at a fraction of the previous speed and I have no idea why. I no longer have my V10 in favor of the S7 Edge, and love the angle the Choetch offers as you alluded to, so I'm not sure where I go next. I thought I'd try the Samsung fast charge angled puck, but if as you say it is concave, that won't be a good option either. Thanks for your reply! :good:

I think if you're using the Samsung phones, the Samsung upright would probably work. The issue with the LG v10 is the sweet spot for the charger is right about the middle of where the concave is at its lowest on the charger. The fast charge puck I use next to the PC is great, works extremely well, and I Frankensteined one into a box about the size of my phone for the dash, and works well. What I noticed on the Samsung stand is the sweet spot for the LG is just a tad south of center, real noticeable when you have it in portrait mode, you have to move it to the right just a bit. When I built the one for the car, I had to do the same thing, move the coils to the left so it centered better. Glad to hear about the Choetech, I was just about to order one on eBay, but Verizon let me exchange the flipping out Qi charger I got from them for a Tylt, so see how it goes.

FYI, I am no longer having this issue. I simply unplugged the Choetech and plugged it back in, and all is back to normal. Just in case I talked anyone out of trying it, I can say that it works perfectly. The only reason I am looking for a new one is that I want one that offers Quick Charge.
I'm looking for one that holds the entire phone, not just the battery. I would like it for my desk at work and not a Qi charger, but a USB dock.
The style I see on Amazon is the same one just dressed up by various vendors and may be OK, but I would like a very nice quality dock if possible.
Thanks!
Ouch. No response. OK, I may go ahead and try a "universal" charging stand, one that will hold my phone and my LG adapter. When I find the "right one", I will post back FWIW.

I have that in my cart still! How is the balance with the phone inserted? Can you use the touchscreen reliably while docked?
I did end up just receiving this stand:
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Stan...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01
I bought it with the included charger and cable since it was only a few cents more than without and I thought the 90 degree angled cord would be pretty cool, but it turns out that this cable will NOT work with the fast charger. It works with any brand wall plug as long as it is not a quick/fast charger. So, no biggie I guess. The stand is very sturdy and stable. I can use the touchscreen while docked without any issues. Totally not as convenient as having a drop in stand with a charger built in. I have to manually plug it in when charging is desired. So, for 10 bucks, I am keeping it and I may get the one you have for convenience sake.

The one I bought also charges the second battery. That's why I got that one.
I was digging around on ebay for accessories for my G5 and i suddenly found this type of wireless charger for LG G5 that comes with a sticker and it has a cable on the bottom to transfer the charge from the sticker into the phone. So.... has anyone tried it already? Comment what do you think about it. Are we getting closer to have wireless charging capability the same or similar way than other devices with wireless charging feature? In my opinion this might be an improvement. (not that i use wireless charging a lot but it is sometimes useful)
I've seen that this doesnt only work for the LG G5, it actually works for any device with type C usb as i have been digging even more and see that it works for other devices too.

You still need to get the charging base, unless you have one, many of these receiver that plugs into the USB port is not very reliable, too many detection error and very fragile, but I did try a micro USB QI receiver yesterday on the G5 and it work fine, that is upto now without error also trying some QI extention cable receiver, still work perfect.

What is most interesting about this is that it works with any device (smartphone) with Type C . According to the descriptions you find on ebay and amazon. I will have to give it a try. Dont know when i will be able to buy it exactly, but i will
I would check the output. These G5 take a large 1800mA (could be more haven't looked) charger. I used to grab those Qi universal charger films you are talking about. Worked great until phones started taking 1000mA or greater chargers. Many of these wireless chargers do NOT support fast enough charging. Meaning it could take 4 hours to get your battery to 50% or even longer (some are only 500mA chargers, almost 75% slower than normal).
So be prepared for extremely slow, albeit convenient, charging. Check the output of your charging base and the output of the charging film first.
I just ordered that sticker from eBay. I'll report back once I have it and tested it. I have the tylt 3-coil wireless charger. Charging speed is no issue for me. I don't need rapid charging like from the OEM charger.
If you don't have tylt, you can try the spigen 3-coil wireless charger. They're cheap on eBay! I'm not sure if it'll work (I haven't tested it) , but spigen is a good brand for most things.

I just ordered that sticker from eBay. I'll report back once I have it and tested it. I have the tylt 3-coil wireless charger. Charging speed is no issue for me. I don't need rapid charging like from the OEM charger.
If you don't have tylt, you can try the spigen 3-coil wireless charger. They're cheap on eBay! I'm not sure if it'll work (I haven't tested it) , but spigen is a good brand for most things.

Hey thanks. Let us know how it goes. Between the money i paid for the phone and college, well. Im pretty much broke right now. Im trying to sell my Galaxy s5 locally to get some money back and some of my covers among other things, however, here in miami people sell high, and want to buy extremely low.
I have it, not very good.

Which one do you have? And tell us about your experience. How long it took to charge.from x% to y%

There is only one available, no matter where you buy it, it's the same product, speed is slower than cable, but that was expected, if you use a case, it's very fiddly to put on and take off, as the plug area is very big when you compare them to other receivers like the micro USB or lightning.

Hmm, But what was the estimate time for the phone to fully charge from x% to y% ? Maybe with another cover it would be easier to put? There are quite a few now for g5

If you are concern about slow speed, you shouldn't use it, as I say it's slower than cable, I mean with a normal charger, not a fast charger, but i'm ok with that, I have never liked fast charge, if you are using a TPU case, it easy to use, but cases like my voia or spigen style armor with removable bottom has problems, the head is very big, so not all case will fit.

Im not that concern though. After all i would only use it about 10% of the times. But people who really use it would probably like to know
Could you please take a picture, I am curious as to how much the head sticks out

Hey guys. Made a quick video of the module. Will update you once I have more time to test it. Sorry for the amateur nature

Great!! thanks for sharing. Any intel about how long does it take to charge from x% to y%? any given value to x and any given value greater than X given to Y. Also, when you are using the device, whether it transfer enough energy to keep using the phone while it charges or whether the battery will decrease while you are using the phone. (In an average usage: Say, Facebook, youtube with brightness in about 50-70%, or having at least 3 or 4 applications running in the background that are not so heavy, nor light) If you have tried any of this things, or all of them, please share your experience with it.
According to the description of the link i posted, it says that the output is 1000mA
But thank you for sharing the video
With about 1 hour of charging, i got about 10% of charge. If there's load, it'll def drop the charging capability. I'll do more rigorous testing, but as it stands, it's charging slowly.
Part of it can also be because I'm using the tylt charger, which has a 5 w output.

hmm yeah. There might be some factors affecting the rate of charge. I mean, 10% in 1 hour? that shouldn't be a standard charge rate. I will dig in a little more and see what i can find out there in google. Maybe someone did try it with a charging dock with higher Watts output. I will let you know if i found something

Okay, before i looked into google i decided to see what other sellers on ebay have to offer and here is what i found. There are sellers that sell the sticker along with a charging dock with an input of 2000mA and output of 1000mA, Power: 10W. I think that would only double the estimated time you just gave me from x to y being 10% in 1 hour . But it still too low. Maybe the cover is another factor? Maybe there are materials that decrease the overall charging rate by slowing the transference of energy from the dock to the wireless receiver. I will look for more info.
