$40 USB "Qi" charger found

Couldn't find this in a forum search
http://www.fasttech.com/products/1154/10001946/1215400
Says Qi and works with N4, but can't find it in the Qi site and there's no Qi symbol on it, so probably not approved (but neither are all the N4's currently out there [pre-rev 12])
$40 shipped and could be the basis of an in-car solution...
Anyone tried it?

Same item it looks like just different description and what not - from the same vendor.

On an unrelated note, I've never heard of this website before, it looks very promising! I have a feeling I will be throwing my money at my screen soon.

Looking forward to a review!

wow. this looks very clean OP.
anticipating some pictures and review.

Found another thread for something very similar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074862

Efficient output is just 500-700mA? Too small to charge N4?
I thought the standard one is around 1A or over.
Thanks.

500-700 mA is perfectly ok for charging. When you charge from a computer via USB, the max current is 500 mA unless you use kernel tweaks.

It's got to depend on the output (mA) the USB power adaptor has to offer too. They even show it connected to a laptop USB port. So I think it WILL charge, but maybe significantly slower than a direct power connection.
By using a lower output USB power supply, sounds like you might be able to trade charge speed with temperature rise. If so it may be ideal as a charger to keep your phone topped up. Kind of like a low power trickle charger, which would be fine if my phone is on it most of the day... I actually don't like the idea of Qi chargers that make the phone get hot - seems to be trading convenience and wear on the phone's USB connector with reduced battery service life as it keeps going through nasty heat cycles?
Decided to risk it and order one

not sure about that, it might charge If your not doing anything, but say if using gps it might not supply enough juice to charge fast enough

I agree, Used in a car with GPS on, maybe pulling 3G data for maps, bright screen, etc., it's likely that despite this charger, the phone will slowly go flat. And get hot doing so... All that energy from the battery/charger has to go somewhere - mainly heat once the battery is charged. If the phone's consuming, say 750mA at around 4.1v battery voltage, that's around 3W of heat to dissipate.

I am investing time looking for a Qi charger but that problem appears to be present on several cheap alternatives, the current they supply is not enough, or you might expend a couple of extra hours charging your phone

Just a quick update, ordered from fast tech on Jan 29th and received shipping notification today (Jan. 31st), registered airmail with tracking from Hong Kong post.

I do have this wireless charger. Ordered from aliexpress, it's always the same with different branding and logos.
It does the job, charging.
But:
Need to be very precise when positioning it
Back glass make the phone sliding, and cancel all the effort offered in the above point, making the phone not charging
I recommend to wait for a charger with more than only one wireless charging chip/antenna.

Ok I have this charger now. On first charge and working ok so far... Seems to be best in this position. Has now cut off an an indicated 99%...

Lining up the edge of the charger with where the bottom of the LCD is, seems reliable. Using an XtremeGuard style protector on the back, which gives enough friction to stop sliding if the charger is horizontal and the phone vibrates.
Above is FastTech image. I'm using stock N7 charger and cable at the moment because it was handy. Unit came with a USB charger and cable (with EU plug - I'm UK based)
----
Picked up phone and used it to 98%. Returned to charger and it charged back to 99%, but didn't beep this time when charging started. Maybe it needs to be more discharged before this happens....
----
Now at 100%. Charger seems to poll the Nexus about every 30 secs (solid blue light for a few secs) to see if it needs charging. Then light goes off. When it charges, the blue light flashes slowly but continuously.

Did anybody try the Large models?
For some reason they are cheaper even though they come in black or white and have the Qi logo/writing on it.

They are reported to work. I wanted the flexibility of being able to use alternate sources of power (car, pc, wall adaptor). have yet to try limited power available from a PC's USB port...

Cheap solution/alternative for lack of wireless charging! Turbocharge confirmed!

If you are like me and miss the simplicity of wireless charging I have found a solution. If you have never heard of znaps it started as a kickstarter to bring magnetic charging to any Microsd, USB type C or lightning devices (similar to Mac). I preordered mine but the wait was killing me since it does not ship until January. I did a quick google search and found another company who is selling this technology on Amazon so I quickly ordered it with next day delivery and I have to say it works perfectly. It has a strong magnet and can be connected with ease either direction. It DOES support turbocharge, at first I had a bad cable but the new cable works. Installation and removal can be a little tough because you have to use force but they give you a tool to remove (trust me it will stick out and not go all the way in unless you push hard). It also supports sync as well but I really haven't put that through it's paces yet.
Now I am going to keep my znaps order going to test the two. Not sure if it supports fast charging.
Znaps has some pros:
1. You can use your existing cables. With this you have to order multiple cables for cars and so on.
2. The price is cheaper for the connectors
3. It is smaller (both insert and cable tip
So if you want something that connects quickly and without hassle and something that can go both ways give it a try.
Here's a promo video I found lol you have to laugh at how they try so hard to make it seem terrible the old way

I'm not sure but I doubt it. I think we will have better luck with znaps. I'm still waiting to hear back from their support. It charges slow so I would plan on getting this if you are like me and don't mind charging over night. For turbo charge you'll want to remove. I only charge at night so it works well

Can you transfer or sync data with the cable? If you can, you can turbo charge.

Thanks for the mini review Josh.

Thanks! Looks interesting but I can't live without quick charge. Will probably wait for znap...

I can't try the charger that came with the phone since the cable is built in however I did try a quick charge 2.0 charger I purchased off amazon (this one) and it still has a slow charge. It's perfect to hold me over until znaps is out but it does take it's time.
I haven't tried that charger with a regular cable to make sure there is nothing wrong with the new charger but I can do that this afternoon.

I tried one of these to, but I think znaps will be better. My problem with these is the size. It's not really compatible with any cases. It does work with quickcharge, the notification LED would have to be facing upward though. Otherwise normal charge. And after getting it yanked back out, the usb port is forever stretched out. cables aren't as tight anymore.
The better solution for wireless charging would be one of the wireless receivers sandwiched between the phone and a case.

30 minutes on a wireless charger would equal around 8% charge increase on an MXPE.
30 minutes on the QC2.0 charger equals around 65% charge increase.
So, you can stick your phone on a wireless charger for an hour to get 16% life added, or I can stick mine on the cord for 8 minutes to get the same.
No thanks don't want it.

Another good thing about Znaps's design is that there is an adapter on the wire side, so don't need new wires/adapters. Can't wait...

I'm wondering if the piece that goes into my phone is defective. It does not quick charge in either direction. I will try swapping it out when I get home. Did you use this with the moto x?
EDIT: @regalpimpin So after removing the insert I had I verified my quick charger 2.0 would turbocharge by using a standard cable. Then I put in the other insert and still no turbocharge. So I'm not sure how you tested but mine will not turbo charge. I didn't notice the cable being loose after this device so I'm assuming you tried with a different phone/tablet?

I got the cable Friday, and tested it on the pure. The little pamphlet it comes with explains the charging. It will charge normally either way it's plugged in. But the data/ and therefore the quick charge only works plugged in the one way. I tested with an aukey 15000 battery pack. And got the TurboCharge toast notification when plugged in. Cables aren't loose now.. But they aren't as tight as they were. It's like its had a months use, and it wasn't like that before. Not a huge deal, but i'm sticking to the wireless receivers, and possibly the znaps when they come out as they'll be more case friendly. I'll probably just use these on some other devices. It was cool in theory.

@richardhaid @TwoStroker37 @namartlu @glowsti047

I've got the tough frame for my MXPE on my phone currently, I love how it looks and feels, don't need anything else for a case. I wonder if this piece that plugs into the usb on the phone is too wide to fit into the hold cutout on the bumper. Can anyone verify if I would have to cut up my bumper if I bought this cable??

Fast Chargers

The LG V10 does support Qualcomm 2.0 Fast Charging. Here are the models of Batteries, Car Chargers and Wall Chargers that I have tested and confirmed that work with the V10 . I will include some video reviews as well.
MOD Edit: Referral links not allowed and have been removed

So do you need a new charger that supports fast charging, and any micro USB cable will do?
Does the charger that comes with the phone support fast charge?

yes, the charger that comes with the V10 is a quick charge and most micro USB cables (should) work with the quick chargers.

The Samsung adaptive quick charger from the S6/Note 5 seems to be working well. Just an FYI if anyone has one laying around.

Tronsmart said:
Not all of the micro usb cable will support quick charge. you need the cable which support charging and data sync together.
The quick charge 2.0 technology need to transfer/communicate the signal from the charger to the smartphone. some cheap micro usb cable which just have the charging function won't work on qc2.0 chargers.
also the 20awg cable help to transfer high current, see the explanation from wiki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge

Yes I am trying to look back at where I got my cable now. This is the heavier duty, longer cable I use. It says in the description a few different things that makes me think it is compatible. I guess I'll find out for sure when I get the device in my hands.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OCDZQA0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00
Edit: I did find out that it does support quick charge, so I'm all good!
FYI I would reccommend this cable if you are looking for a longer cable that is heavy duty. I am sure most have used Anker products in the past, the quality is present in this product as well, I have had mine for close to a year with no issues.

I love Anker product, such high quality! The dual port car charger supplied 2 amps per port. The desk charger supplies 2amps per port over 5 ports and over the last year I've purchased 40+ usb cables in varying legnths. 10ft - 1ft. Connections are always snug and no wiggle on my phones. I keep giving these things away when a co worker needs a cable, they always notice that their device charges faster, especially if they no longer have the oem cable.

Quick Charge not compatible with charge-only cable
In order to prevent data theft I prefer to use a charge-only cable when plugging my phone into any port outside my home.
According to Qualcomm, Quick Charge 2.0 is designed to be connector-independent and is designed to minimize charging issues associated with long or thin cables, allowing for a superior charging experience, independent of cable type.
However, since the high-efficiency transfer of electricity requires the D+/D- data lines for effective handshaking and communication, it will not work with a charge-only cable.

I have to say the quick charge lg charger still takes twice as long as my note 4 edge to charge...

Other than stock cable, PNY cable works pretty well especially with Anker 8A intelligent charger.

I can say without a doubt charging with the Samsung quick charger from the S6/Note5 charges the V10 faster than the LG quick charger. Luckily I have several around the house.

I think that is due to the fact that the LG charges at 2.0 vs the Sammy.
I'll have to pick up an aftermarket charger on Amazon or something. Anyone recommend one that they use with a higher charging rate than the LG one?
Matt

something i found out bay accdent is it doesnt always fast charge. its not an option to turn it off but from what i can tell if your phone is to hot when pluged in it just does a normal charge. greatest thing ever
and i did try it on two chargers that have fast charge the one in the box and the note 4 charger but it didnt start the fast charge. once the phone was cool i actually unpluged to go somewhere came back ten minutes later pluged in and there it was fast chargeing.

In response to @clockcycle
It appears though it may charge faster than normal charging methods with screen on, that it almost quadrupled charging rate with screen off according to Ampere.
Take it for what it's worth, I am not sure how accurate it is, that second screenshot was taken just after turning the screen back on, where it proceeded to recalculate and then displayed around 700 again.

Awesome thanks for testing that, it seems to be just like the LG G4 but slightly higher (500 screen on, 2200 screen off). Ampere is a guestimate, but I use USB Doctor sleeves to verify. What charger did you use to test?
Edit: according to your screen shots, they were 2 mins apart, you went from 8% to 11%, gained 3%~

[Review]CHOETECH USB Type C Charger & USB Type C - Type C Cable Review

Hello,
I got a great discount from <MODERATOR EDITED - SPAM LINK REMOVED> on a USB Type C charger & USB Type C - Type C cable bundle for an unbiased review.
I had to pay a few Euro though but that was ok for me since it is always good to have some spare chargers & cables, just in case the stock ones break
CHOETECH USB Type C Charger:
<MODERATOR EDITED - SPAM LINK REMOVED>
The charger is slighty bigger in comparison to the stock charger you get from Google when you buy a Nexus 6P device.
The build quality is nice, I didn´t see any sharp edges. The text markings are easy to read too.
This charger can deliver a max. power output of 18W at following values: 5V @ 3A, 9V @ 2A or 12V @ 1.5A

CHOETECH USB Type C - Type C Cable:
<MODERATOR EDITED - SPAM LINK REMOVED>
I got the 1m version of this cable. There is not much to say about it, it looks good and seems to be of a similar quality like the stock USB Type C - Type C cable you get from Google when you buy a Nexus 6P device.
Both plugs have a <MODERATOR EDITED - SPAM LINK REMOVED> text engraved into the plugs. The contacts seem to fit well, the diameter seems to be the same like the stock cable.
Pictures:
Tests:
I used the App Ampere for the tests in order to have a good guess, if the charger and the cable is a good replacement for the stock accessories.
I got similar values, even when I combined all pieces together. It seems that these items can deliver what CHOETECH mentions in the descriptions.
The phone is charged fast and the best readout I could get was about 2950mA which is pretty close to the 3000mA you would expect in theory.
The charger feels quite warm in comparison to the stock charger but I guess it´s still ok.
I´m happy with these items and I hope that these will last for a while.
Did you make similar experiences too ?

I can confirm this. Bought the charger and a 2m cable one month ago and I'm still very happy.

That´s great to hear. Any more opinions ?

I´m waiting for mine. This is really good replacement product..

Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents into the discussion.
I got these CHOETECH cables to review and I was quite impressed with them. In all honesty they performed identically to the cable that came with my 6p. I noticed that my phone wasn't charging as fast as it was advertised (with both stock and CHOETECH cables) and was a little confused by it. I'm a musician and travel alot and on a recent trip I charged up in my hotel room and it was as fast as advertised (0-100% in about 97 minutes). It was then that I realised the issue may be with the power at my house.
Anyhow, if you're in the market for some additional cables to add to your arsenal, these are a worthy addition!

I did the following combinations:
CHOETECH charger + CHOETECH cable: The peak current shown by Ampere was about 2950mA, this combination charges the phone as fast as the stock items.
CHOETECH charger + Stock cable: The peak current was also around 2950mA or slightly lower. This combination also worked well, I couldn´t see any differences.
Stock charger + CHOETECH cable: The peak current was also near 2950mA. The phone also charged fast.
Now there are a few things to consider:
1) Ampere or similar tools are not 100% precise and can only be used to get a good guess if everything works out fine.
2) Even the slightest mechanical variation of the cable can also increase the resistance of the cable and lower the output voltage and the current. This can be tricky with USB Type C but the tolerances are so small that you might never notice a decrease of performance around 1-2%.
3) The built in battery doesn´t have a 100% exact capacity of 3450mAh. It can also have a slight +- tolerance which will affect the time measured to charge it.
Most people won´t check the exact time needed anyway It doesn´t matter if your phone needs 1,5 hours to charge from 3% -> 100% or 1,49 hours

I bought the chotech charger and 2 cables pack. Its working fine, but the cables don't seem to seat very well within the type c fitting in the ac adapter. They wobble. The stock ac adapter and cable are very solid. Wonder if anyone else's like that. The wobbly fit doesn't fill me with complete assurance and confidence over time.

I have this charger. I'm happy with the purchase. Recommended.

Choetech
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.

The buzzing sound while charging kinda worries me. anyone else? aside from that, and the heat it puts out it seems to work fine.

I talked to them last night. They have a new model that fixes that. Give them a email back if you purchased from Amazon. And if you buy a new one today you'll get the latest model from Choetech

The buzzing sound might be the result of saturation of the transformer built inside. I didn´t notice any buzzing since I didn´t put my ear next to the charger
A newer revision is always nice to have

It's pretty noticeable when you chilling with no TV on.

I checked my unit again and I can confirm a slight buzzing noise. It is barely audible though, you really have to put your ear next to the charger. I think this is something common with most chargers and as long as the device works, I would not care too much about it

Wireless Charging Car Mount

I'm coming from a Nexus 5 and had gotten pretty used to wireless charging. Had a mount in my car that supported Qi, and it had been at least a year since I messed with a USB cable.
Love my new Moto X and bought a coil that takes up the micro USB, but am having trouble finding a car mount big enough to support the larger MXPE. Any ideas?

I used the tylt vu car mount.

Worked really well. Phone (LG g2) would get pretty warm wireless charging with screen on navigating. I'm curious about this coil that you're using...please post a link. Thanks
mxpe 6.0

This is the coil: http://www.ebay.com/itm/25203978870...49&var=550898634010&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
It's pretty generic, but you have to have a thin case for it to work. You also have to get the coil with the microUSB oriented the right direction or else it will cover the screen.
I use this case which I like, but the coil shows through covering the bottom of the Motorola logo which doesn't look too pretty.

If I find a solution that works in the car I'll get a Seidio Surface, which would hide the coil completely, and is wireless charging friendly.

Tylt typically has sales often so don't let the high price be a detraction. They make nice products. Sign up for the email so get the sales. The vu car mount would easily handle the mxpe.
Edit: sprung for a qi coil similar (rerrii on Amazon) to the one you have. Invested in a case too. I did notice that there are only a couple cases that cover the Moto M. Tudia slim arch and JOTO hybrid to name a couple.

I like the Tylt, but I can't use it. I installed a USB charging port in my car (splicing the constant hot from the stereo). It charges much faster than the lighter port, which for some reason doesn't always work. So I was looking for something to straight to USB.
On a whim I ordered this charging pad which is .2 mm thick. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EBQ8RSG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Going to put it in the TaoTronics Universal mount. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MXWFUQC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Should be enough room there for both the pad and the MXPE. I'll use velcro tape on the mount and the pad to keep it in place (glue gun probably won't hold up in Florida sun). It arrives tomorrow, we'll see what happens.

I was also interested in wireless charging, so I got one of these universal charging pads for a few bucks. It plugs into the micro-usb port, and can be tucked into the case since it's very thin. Similar to this one:

}
The good news is that it works, is very convenient, and it doesn't generate much heat. The bad news is that it's horribly slow. I tried two different charging pads to make sure it wasn't the pad, and used it on my in-car 3-coil charger base, and multiple desk 3-coil chargers (which charged other phones at a reasonable pace).
To describe what I mean by slow - Ampere reports charging rate fluctuating around 200-400mA, however, it seems to only charge 10% per hour or so. I left it to charge last night at 30%, and I woke up and it's not even full.
If anybody else is getting better results, please let me know.

Don't forget that your phone is also using the battery at night. A charging rate of 200-400mA would barely cover the consumption, and that's why your phone doesn't seem to charge. IMHO anything less than 1000mA is useless with most current phones, and the standard really is 3000mA+ with Quickcharge 2.0.

Yeah I've more or less given up on the universal wireless receiver. It just takes way too long. Maybe one day there's be fast wireless charging receivers.

how well does the universal wireless charging coil charge? 10% an hour? if that's the case then there's really no point even using tbh. I really wished the Moto X Pure had wireless charging out of the box

Yeah it's too slow to really be useful. I tried two different universal charging receivers, of different design. What's unusual is that I used to use this solution on my LG G2 (which also had a 3000mAh) battery and it was much quicker.
I suspect there must be some difference in either the USB circuitry or maybe the kernel I'm using, as some kernels support an accelerated USB charging rate. In any case, looks like no good for now. Maybe one day there'll be universal charging receivers which support fast charge (like the S6/S7 has).

I saw this thread a few days ago and ordered the Tylt from Amazon. Due to the curved back adding to the thickness of the phone, it didn't work very will with my 2015 Pure Edition. Sending it back to Amazon. FYI...
