Wireless charging by way of USB Type-C receiver

Wireless charging by way of USB Type-C receiver - Nexus 6P Accessories

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

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

Best wireless charger for galaxy s6

Hi XDA members
in your opinion what is the best wireless charger for galaxy s6
hope everyone give us the price and the link for the product

Well it really depends on your budget. In my case, I am on a tight budget so I'll probably settle on TechMatte Wireless Charger that is priced not more than $25. However, I would really like the official Samsung wireless charger that is priced at $45 on Amazon. It is good-looking, sleeker and has functional LED light indicator.
Here is a good article about S6 wireless charger:
http://www.androidauthority.com/best-wireless-chargers-samsung-galaxy-s6-600922/

Honestly anything that has 3 coils will do well for you. I recently purchased this charger from Amazon, and it's amazing. You don't have to play with alignment as there is more than one coil.

Yep.. ^^^^ what eep02b said.. I have the same exact one and it charges ridiculously good. No issues whatsoever. I've used a variety cases and it charges them with no issues. The thickest case I have is the Caseology and the Supcase.

I don't have the S6, but I do have the official Samsung charger.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Wireless-Charging-Pad-Packaging/dp/B00UCZGS6S
I'm using it for my S3, that has a wireless receiver inside since my charging port is rather finicky these days. It works fine for that and it's nice that it's low profile, which is what I wanted.
The downside is that since it's flat, not very useful if you wanna watch movies and such, but that doesn't bother me since I only use it before I go to bed. I generally don't run into alignment issues with it, but always a possibility with the single coil setup.
The official Samsung one works with any Qi enabled device, though if you are using it for any other device, besides the S6, like I'm currently doing with my S3, the LED indicator will not tell you when it's fully charged. It'll just tell you when it's on the pad.
I don't mind since I just use my phone's LED indicator light to let me know when it's fully charged. But, keep that in mind, if you want to use it for phones other than the S6.
The 3 coil setup is better in that you won't run into any alignment issues like you can run into with single coil set ups. If you get something like this TYLT charger, you can definitely watch movies and such since it's propped up.
http://www.amazon.com/TYLT-Wireless-Charger-all-Phones/dp/B00DG8NUC8
One other thing you wanna keep in mind with wireless charging in general. It will NOT charge your phone as fast as using the AC adapter (especially since it has fast charging capabilities) the phone came with. If you wanna charge your phone fast, wireless charging isn't the way to go. It's more of a convenience thing. Figured you knew that, but a friendly reminder never hurts.

Yeah I got this one aswell for bedroom, and I have the round original Samsung one for desktop. Samsungs has too bright blue leds to use in bedroom so its more suitable for desk.
Both works great, no issues at all. Might get the QiStone+ later on so that I can have a portable battery with wireless charging capabilities.

Have any of you with that Choe charger used any sort of app to measure what sort of charging current you're getting?

Im using the Choetech upgraded wireless charger, got it off Amazon for about £15. My last cheaper one used to sometimes overheat the phone. This one works without any issues and takes the same to to charge as a standard wall charger. What app can I use to check the charging voltages etc?

I use the TYLT Vu

My TYLT Vu only works reliably when my S6 is placed on it in landscape orientation. It either doesn't work, or works intermittently in portrait orientation.
Do you have this issue with yours?

No, the only problem that I have with it is when my phone is fully charger and then the screen of my s6 lights up and the sound of the wireless charging plays, and its keep on doing it ever minute or so... I don't know if its the charger fault or the device itself

I have 3 of these around the house, work just fine for me, and they come in different colors and shapes;

I just got the new belkin charger and works great so far. Been using a cheap one from eBay and works good too.
Waiting on more from eBay soon and I'm sure they will work too.

Mine does the same thing on the Choe 3 coil. I stopped using it. Wish there was a way to fix this without root.

I have the same issue, the wireless charger charges my phone just fine. I have 3 separate ones and they all do it, once it gets to 100% it keeps making the charging noise on and off as it looses a bit of power and starts charging again, kind of annoying when it's by your bedside lol. Anyone know how to fix that?

I have the official Samsung charging pad, works like every other wireless charger. Not sure if it was worth the $40 I got it for but the charging LED is handy and it isn't too bright to sleep with (my opinion). It doesn't have any starting/stopping charging issues at 100%.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JA7HNZO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Just bought this a few days ago, absolutely love it. I've set it down maybe 50 times, never missed a charge or needed to re-position it. For $25, you can't go wrong. Only minor down side is the surface is pretty smooth, so people without a case, I could see this sliding off. I use a clear Spidgen case, and have no issues at all charging with the case on.

Qi charging

What Qi-charging options are there for the xperia Z5?
Any chance that Sony will release something similar to WCR14, or are we stuck with fitting generic receivers between the phone and a case?

As I know, z5 doesnt support wirelless charging out of the box

Yeah, exactly, no support for wireless charging. However, Sony has released cases with built-in wireless charging for earlier models of the Z-line
and I was wondering if anyone knew if they are going to release a similar solution for the Z5 Compact.
At the moment it seems as though the only viable option is to install a qi-receiver bought on ebay or a similar site and pair it with a case.
Not so bad i guess, since it probably is a hell of a lot cheaper and you get to choose whichever case you want.
Awaiting my Z5C now and will update when I have installed a qi solution.

That is impossible becouse that cases before have connection over magnetic charger and z5c dont have it.

Okay, bummer..
I thought they might solve the problem of the missing magnetic port by using the micro-usb connection..

Just wanted to confirm, I purchased a Qi Wireless Receiver that connects over USB - no dice. They don't have the "teeth" that microusb ports have and due to the water proofing the port doesn't turn on.

Just wanted to post to say that this is wrong. What it needs to work is a connector has the data pins to be connected so that it shows that it's capable of outputting higher than 500mA. I'm using the Zoer receiver that has that and it works fine. Amperage is between 260mA to 770mA depending on the qi charger that I use.

no, not really. This qi definitely works.

You just need one with 4 pins instead of the cheaper 2 pin ones. I have one which definitely works. Unfortunately, xdadevelopers doesn't let new users post links for some reason, so I can't help anybody with the link to the one I use. I spent a lot of time working out what to use and finally went into a 'retail store' to test the one I ordered before ordering my own z5 compact. If anybody wants the link to the ebay item, just email at [email protected]. Make sure you choose the 'A type' for the z5 compact. Works a treat. There is a lot of confusion about qi on the z5. Some people are saying that it is because of its waterproof attributes, you can't do it. Not so. This works perfectly and once on, can be used with any QI standard charging mat.

Guy, anyone tried with the quickcharge wireless pad yet? By the way, do we need to have quick charge supported receiver coils in order to use the quick charge charging pad?

I've never seen a quick charger receiver? I gave up on this in favor of quick charging at lunch

For those that have gone down this route a couple of questions please:
1) How has the QI receiver lasted if the phone is submerged? Did it just need rinsing in clean water and drying out or was it screwed?
2) Is there a maximum thickness to the case which I should worry about?
3) What sort of time does it take to charge up?
4) If I'm playing music or video will it charge quicker than I'm draining the battery?
Thanks!

I just got this one:
ASIN=B01E15W2ZA
and it works good with my Xperiy Z5 Compact. It charges with about 600...700 mA, something les than with a normal charger, but absolutely enough for my purpose - modt of the time I just want to recharge over nitght. It goes up to 100 %.
The included power bank feature can also be used via Qi, but probably smarter it to use it with a cable to not waste Your capacity as heat.
By the way: Even NFC works through the receiver!
But still I folded the receiver cable twice to position the receiver on the lower edge of the beackside of the phone. This way I avoid the risk, that NFC sensitivity gets reduced and I can line up the phone better on the charger, because it must lay quite exact on the cross.

i have qi charger for 5c and it works. i order plate fro qi and qi charger from ebay. just this qi sticker must set under some case. another way it is possible to broke it.

[Review] Choetech USB C Charging brick (lots of pics)

Yet another review for a charger. I was provided this charger at a heavy discount (not free) for an unbiased review.
UPDATE: Use code 6SLDGOIQ to get $6 off the charger from amazon, below. I don't know how many times this code will work, but it was provided by the Choetech rep that provided the charger to me. Comment here whether or not the code works for you please.
Get it here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...etech usb c&qid=1452477270&ref_=sr_1_4&sr=8-4
Pros:
- rapidly charges Nexus 6P without issue (peak current of 2920mA according to Ampere) while using Choetech USB C cable
- packaging is mostly recyclable (except the polymer pouch)
- supports QC 2.0 tech (which I couldn't test because I don't have any devices to utilize this function)
Cons:
- charger heats up to 141*F whole charging the 6p, whole the Google brick only heats up to 94*F under the same conditions
Other thoughts:
- size is SLIGHTLY larger than the included Nexus 6P charging brick (see pics)
Would I buy it again: absolutely
Like the review? Click the button. Questions, comments, concerns? Post em here!

Check OP for $6 off code. I can't verify if it works, but it was provided by the Choetech rep. If it doesn't work, let me know and I'll remove it. Hope you guys can take advantage of it. Good charger [emoji106]

How hot does it get when charging? I just got mine and have noticed it gets really hot when charging. Much hotter than the OEM charger. Also, with the 2m c to c cable they make I have only seen a max of about 1850ma when the OEM charger was pulling 2950ma when I switched to it to see. Is it possible I got a bad unit?

Indeed it's a significant difference in temperature. I didn't put it under cons since the temperature wasn't scathingly hot, but worth noting. However, I've decided that the Choetech will be my back up charger, and the Google brick will remain the one used more often.
And thank you for actually bringing this to my attention. Appreciate it
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I also received this charger along with both types of cables.
They work great! No temp issues at all, and this charger doesn't slow my phone to a crawl while charging like the OEM one does.
Honestly this is a great deal and a much nicer price point then the stock charger, and I prefer using it. Nice to see that inexpensive doesn't always mean cheap.

The actual female Type C plug feels cheap. You can hear something flexing when inserting it. It works though, will be a spare travel charger.

I reached out to the rep about the heating issue. I was basically told it's nothing more than a defective unit, as I was told that there is built in overheat protection.
Will update OP again when new unit arrives, again with temperature readings.

Kinda worries me it lists Qualcomm QC 2.0 on the charger itself since we know the phones don't support it.

That's also been on the back of my mind. But my rational for still using it is that the phone is the one that requests a charge from the brick, instead of the brick sending whatever charge it wants. My background for how these chargers work is extremely rudimentary compared to what's floating around in the USB C thread, but I'd think any device that inappropriately received 9v (QC 2.0) would have fried by now.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I got this charger to test and it performs identically to the stock charger for me. I got it with some CHOETECH cables as well and the performance was on par with what I got from stock cable and charger. I got a 6 foot type c cable so I could get a little more reach and while I was successful on that front, the cable matters 6 foot cable in question did charge slower than shorter cables. This has been my experience with most 6 foot and longer cables, not just with type c but usb in general. I usually charge over night so it's not much of a hassle. On the days I may need a quicker top up however, I just use the CHOETECH charger and cable or stock charger and cable, whichever I'm closest to!

Choetech USB C review
Let me preface this review with the statement that the adapter and usb c cable were given to me for free for the purposes of the review. That being said, I’m not going to say this thing is great, if it isn’t and waste your money.
Now. On to the review
Choetech sent me a usb type c cable, and a fast charge adapter. The adapter model number is TC0001. I don’t recall the model number of the cable itself, and I left the packaging at home (I’m a truck driver). But it’s a standard 6 ft usb c to usb c cable. If you want to see a visual of it, you can watch the initial review video I did here
https://goo.gl/photos/PoHcFtpvmTKZbNsi7
The short version of this review is that it works exactly as advertised. I didn’t get a chance to try it with an auxiliary input cord, since I didn’t have a chance to hit a Walmart or best buy. But, I’ve tried both in every other combination.
Cord with stock charger, cord with choetech charger, choetech charger with stock cord. All of this was on a Nexus 5x (my only usb c device), and they all worked almost identically. The combo of the choetech cord and charger took about 15 minutes longer to charge from 4% than the stock setup from 4%. But, I was also driving, and listening to a podcast, whereas I was still and sleeping on the stock setup. So, I’m pretty sure in a apples to apples setup they would’ve been perfectly matched
Fit and finish
I am HARD on electronics. There’s no way around it. Between crap falling off my bunk, or table because I forget to secure it, or just the vibrations of the truck, or whatever. My stuff gets beat up. I can’t give you a longterm review on this thing. But, after 3 weeks of usage, every day, I’ll say that the charger looks exactly the same as when it came out of the box. The cable doesn’t show any frays or nicks or crimps, and the whole assembly still works just as well as before. I’ll say that the connection for the port seems to be a touch looser. But, that’s not to say it’s loose at all. More like the newness has worn off so that it’s not so tight. I still get that satisfying ‘click’, and I can still dangle my phone by the cord, if I really want to. No. I don’t recommend that test.
The phone itself is just fine, while charging. No overheating, no performance lag (outside of the normal stuff you get with the 5x… please google, fix it?). it shows the ‘charging rapidly’ message on the lockscreen, if you need that to get your warm and fuzzy, as well.
All in all, thus far, I’ve not used my stock charger in 2 weeks. And, if you gave me a blind test based solely on charging performance, I’m not sure I could tell you the difference.
A note of caution. I don’t have a usb c – usb a adapter, so I haven’t had a chance to use this thing in a data transfer or adb/fastboot command situation. Since you should always be using the stock cord for the latter, anyway, I’m not too worried about that. But I did want to let you know about the unknowns regarding transferring files.
My only concern (and this is why I wanted to test the insulation with an aux input cord) is the fact that you can feel the wires under the external sheathing. It’s not ridiculously obvious, and it doesn’t make me worry anything is going to get exposed just by rubbing the cord across a corner. But you can feel it, which means that people who charge and listen to music in their car might have issues. I simply don’t know.
That’s it. Hope this helps anyone looking.

After doing a few weeks of testing with the latest Choetech Type-C to C *9.9ft(3M) cable and the Type-C 2.0 rapid travel charger, I think it's time I say a few words about them.
From my first impressions I was like wow this cable is super long. *Which could be a good or bad thing. I've been using stock cables for all my devices for a long time, and they have all been 3 to 4ft long. Which in today's world not long enough and not really logical if you need to have it behind a desk or while using it.
But anyways the cable is very nice and it actually snaps into my Nexus 6p. You can literally hang your *device from the cable without it falling to the ground. I tested the cable with CheckR app and it is approved and never had a issue charging my precious Nexus.
*Now for the charger not much I can say about it except that it just works. Charges my device from 5% to 100 in just over a hour. My Nexus says its charging rapidly on the lock screen. I have noticed sometimes when the charger is working really hard it makes a slight buzzing sound. But once the device gets to a certain percentage it stops. Now this isn't all the time just every so often. But it never effected charging. I highly recommend you all purchase these two products. You won't be dissatisfied.

How did you use CheckR with a USB C cable? Far as I know, CheckR is strictly to test if a USB A-C cable has the correct resistors in place.

When you open the CheckR app, there is an "i" symbol next to the donation symbols at the top. Clicking on that reveals a pop up that states the app is strictly for use with USB A-C cables. I'm aware you can still plug the cable into a USB C pc port, but my point is that it's a redundant test since the app isn't made for a USB C-C cable

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
