After owning a Nexus 6 I don't want to have a phone without wireless charging. These wireless charging receivers work great with the mix, i've tried two different models and I am super happy with how things work
this model claims to be fast charging, and it definitely is much faster than the other model i tried
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LX0Y5CS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
combine this with a fast wireless charger
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H76NIAS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
or this Anker i use in the car in combination with a fast charge 3.0 car charger

Anker quick charge 3.0 wall charger
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016LO4UTA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
anyways, now that i have quick charge 3.0 chargers everwhere and quick charge wireless charges it really is pretty fast. it charges wirelessly around 990mA, which isn't as fast as plugging in directly but with the insane battery life this phone has it is fine for me. I can drive in my car while casting my phone's screen to my head unit with gps on full time and playing music and the screen on low brightness and it still charges wirelessly.
the receiver is so thin i barely know it is there behind my case.
anyways, if you miss wireless charging this solution works well

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. A couple of questions:
1. You said "it charges wirelessly around 990mA" - how did you measure the charging rate? Is it a reading from Ampere app from Play Store, or something else? Also, is is the peak or average current?
2. You said "i barely know it is there behind my case" - is your receiver sticker from your first link actually *inside* the case, or *outside*, coming in direct contact with the charger from your second link? If it is outside - would you mind putting it inside the case for a minute, and measuring the charging current with Ampere app when the phone case is between the receiver sticker and the charger? TIA

yes, this is with Ampere measuring.
all measurements are inside the case, as in the sticker is stuck directly to the phone with the case overtop of it.
with this new case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70603907&postcount=20 i really do not even know the sticker charger is there, it lines up perfectly with the case at the bottom and there is no added bulge at all in the back.

I also use a sticker receiver and the case, and while I cannot recommend the sticker (or maybe it's my charger?) that I use, because Ampere tells me I only get 200-300mAh charging current on average - the case I'm using is really awesome (I have black version with golden frame): http://www.ebay.com/itm/322333960673
I'm hoping if I get your sticker and this charger (this is the new version of the same one you linked) I'll also get around 1A wireless charging current.

yes, i had the Nillikin sticker receiver before this one i linked that claims fast charging. with the Nillikin i got similar results as you get now around 200-300mah.
only when all parts in the process were fast charge did i actually see a difference. the sticker must be fast charge, the qi charger must be fast charge, and of course you must have a fast charge 3.0 wall charger. i was actually surprised it worked, but it does.
I'm going to try that case you linked too one of the few i haven't tried yet.

it has been reported that the mix only shipped with a 2.0 charger so that makes sense that a 3.0 charger would charger quicker. good to hear!

Technically, any receiver will work well with any charger. The thing you need to look for is a charger that can output 5V at 1A. Pretty much every charger will have that rating so it's hard to mess that one up. As far as the receiver goes, the higher the current output the better (measured in "ma"). And by "better" I mean the phone will charge faster. I have a 1A (1000ma) receiver in my Note 4. It charges pretty quickly, but interferes with NFC. Also, a higher current for a receiver typically means it will also be thicker, making the back of your phone bulge more.
Which charger and receiver are the most durable/well built is a much more difficult question to answer as there are so many to pick from. Just think about how you want to use it, do you want your phone tilted up at you while it's charging? Do you want a super grippy pad so your phone won't walk off the pad when it vibrates? Do you want it to be portable like the mobile pal 2 in 1? The best charger for you will be dependant on how you answer those questions.
Similar questions need to be asked for the receiver. Do you want it to work with NFC? Will you generally just use wireless charging to charge overnight? If so you can get away with a smaller, lower current receiver since you won't need quick charging. If you'll be charging throughout the day you'll want to get a receiver with a higher current rating.
Well, that answer was longer than I originally intended. But I hope it helps!
Thanks TM that's a lot to go on. But a lot of useful information
From my research online, the CHOETECH Stadium seems to be one of the best rated chargers (if you're not going for the official Samsung setup). I've ordered one and am awaiting its arrival, along with the FoneSalesman N4 SlimPWRCard.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JA7HNZO
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00OFKS66G
The CHOETECH Stadium has 3 coils as opposed to some chargers that only have one - from what I've read that makes for faster charging and less problems positioning the phone correctly. This is my first foray into wireless charging though, so I'm only repeating what I've read online, not speaking from experience
I use fonesalesman powercard, and my trusty Nokia Qi charger. The thing is you have to find the right spot for the Qi receiver and charger to line up, then it will charge as it should.

Glad you got sorted out and it's working well. Just got the CHOETECH Stadium (which is also 3 coils) set up and the FoneSalesman N4 SlimPWRCard installed. So far very impressed - the card is unnoticeable except for that slight bulging below the flash, which isn't really visible at all in a case. You can basically 'throw' the phone down onto the charging pad without having to worry too much about positioning. So far I have only used the CHOETECH connected to a PC USB port, not a wall adapter, but even at that, with the phone powered on, I got 10% of charge in an hour (65%-75%). Expecting even better results tonight with the CHOETECH plugged into the Samsung charger and the phone off. In any case, it's great to have that trickle charge while you're sitting working at the computer, without having to plug in. Yay for wireless charging
EDIT: Got just over 10% in half an hour with the charger plugged into the Samsung adaptor, and charging through a UAG case. :good:
EDIT 2: Charged phone overnight from 1% to 100%, it took approximately 5 hours. Good thing is there were no beeps or sounds from either the phone or the charger, and no noticeable 'hum' from the charger either - so good for bedside usage
I am looking for a battery case (yes case, I don't want any external battery pack) that has decent protection and supports QC 2.0 when charging the phone thru whatever pass through micro usb port there is on the case. I don't really care how fast the battery in the case charges, I just want to make sure that I won't be shafting my quick charging capability by putting on such a case.
Did you find one? I came across this, FYI:
"A 5 Volt battery (which all of them are) isn't going to give you a quick charge, so none of them are. You need 9 Volts to quick charge using Samsung's method. Give iit time and companies like Anker will probably come out with special packs for Samsung."

@RedXXII - that is freaking AWESOME! I battery case that 1) allows Adaptive Fast Charging pass-through, 2) allows NFC comms, and 3) PROVIDES FOR USE OF STORAGE CARD!! GENIUS!
I didn't see where the second one allowed pass-through, but I'm knackered so I may have missed.
The Incipio Offgrid is $70 on eBay. If it'll allow Qi charging too, I'll buy it in a heartbeat! Thanks for sharing that info!
[EDIT: the lone commenter at the bottom of Incipio's page explicitly states it will not work with wireless charging. Since it allows for NFC, I wonder if the other wireless charging has more "battery case punch through" abilities.]
@bwb8771: I actually have two Samsung Wireless chargers coming tonight. Since I still have my Incipio OffGrid, I will check and let you know. I also had a Powersuit battery case that allowed QC passthrough but unfortunately, it did not hold up well in a drop test.
@RedXXII - I'd love to hear what you find!
@bwb8771: Unfortunately, it does not work through the case. I have two of the Samsung Official Wireless chargers. Sorry.

not saying its not nice its just not a true quickcharge battery case output max is 1 ma and i am only getting 433ma same when I wireless charging so its miss leading saying quick charge.
okay update i am a little bit happier when its connected to samsung oem quickcharge it only charges at 433 ma but when disconnected and running on battery case it jumps to almost 2 ma which is wierd since max output is only 1ma but phone is charging fast so not too bad
I think you might be mis-understanding what Incipio is relating. They are only indicating that their case will ALLOW (not provide) quick charging through their hardware.
That is to say, if you connect the proper 15-watt AND proper micro USB cable, the quick charging of the phone will occur with the case in place.
Would you agree, @RedXXII ?

nope quick charge does not work "pass-through" when you have the case on as stated in the the message I left earlier it will charge the phone at .5ma ig if case connected to charger but, if you have the adapter unplugged from the case it charges the phone at 1ma or more the battery case even charges slower when connected to the phone.
but again i bought the case and it charge as fast as my non quick-charge adapter when not plugged in the only thing is that the phone and the battery case both charges slow when battery case is on phone

update
The cord that works fine without the case for fast charging doesn't work right with case on (think case doesn't see it as a fast charge device) so i decided what the hell switched the cable to the one in the box and now its charging fast. so use the cable provided with the case for fast charging to work it seems
Mine worked with any cable I used. It is dependant on the brick that you plug the cable into. Do you have any pictures of the case? I'm trying to figure out if I have a defective one. Mine will not close at the top. There is a noticeable gap.

Technology is same. High Volt, low Ampere. Any QualComm Certified QUick Charger would be compatible with Samsung's Adaptive Fast Charging. Atleast any branded ones, never go for any unheard brands. Usually Tronsmart, Aukey and Anker are good choices in average budget. Here's a video review I did for Tronsmart Adapter (Quick Charge) with my Edge+ :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR8W9ozZgAs

Thats very good info. Charging technology is evolving with the phones, and thats a very positive start.
The day is not very far when we might have multi thousand mah of battery juice and charging becomes a weekend job.
Do you mind taking notes while charghing 20% of battery with both the qualcomm fast charge, and the regular 2.1amp charger.
I've already placed an order for the Aukey 4.8A / 24W Dual USB Car Charger mainly because of the size. I'd really want a charger that can **** plush within the car's charging port.

Charging isn't a very quantitative process. First 20% of charging would never be same as next 20% of charging. Usually with fast charger, the first 20% would be amazingly fast while the regular 2.1 amp might take upto 1.5 - 2 times the time. Also, assuming two different devices have same sized battery, with the same charger, one might get 70% charged within 30 min while the other can get 80% charged. However, by the end of 100%, both might take similar time. Thats why, the % readings aren't very consistent or dependable. Its approximation. With 2.1 Amp charger, you won't loose much time, trust me. Also, I don't have the facts, but I have noticed that when I do the fast charging, battery drains out marginally quicker than when I charge through regular 2 Amp charger. Hope that helps.. :fingers-crossed:

I tried it yst evening while commuting back home from work, which is about 20min drive, and the phone was at at 50%, and it was able to charge about 30% in less than 30 mins. Looks promising. I love the form factor. you cannot evne see the charger plugged into the car port. Best of all, the car port's cover covers the entire charger when not charging, this way i dont even have to remove the charger jack every time i have to charge the car, just pluck out the wires, and snap the cover back to conseal the charger.

With constant gaming and videos watching (after working hours ofcs ), mine doesn't stay beyond a day. I'm very happy with that though. I have seen significant different in battery life when I keep the power saving mode on and it doesn't really impacts my gaming at all even though it says that power saving switches to the 1.5 ghz cores and stays that way...!
It doesn’t matter a lot but yeah the main thing is internal circuit and the premium component used in the manufacturing. All of the chargers integrated with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 chip inside. But the best components used in the manufacturing plays a vital role. I can trust CHOETECH more in this area as they are offering 18 months warranty, which means they are confident about what they produce or deliver to their consumers.
I just bought a high quality Qi charging stand that I think would worth a shot at $35.99. I love its modern aluminum design and its large charging area with 3 coils. I tried it for several days and it works great and stable with my Note 5.
Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Char..._1_23?ie=UTF8&keywords=wireless+charger+stand
However, it needs an additional wireless receiver when charging my wife's Note 4. So make sure that your smartphone supports it before you splash out on a wireless charger, or you'll need to buy an extra wireless receiver or a case that enables wireless charging.

Samsung is selling wireless charging cover for Note 4 on Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Wireless-Charging-Cover-Galaxy/dp/B00OP5SAAI/
Little bit expensive, but it works great.
I ordered this for my Nexus 5. This wireless charger worked amazing with it. I think it's perfectly suited at the bedside or office. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to buy a great quality product.

As for bedside use, I'm more into their wireless charger with lightning sensor, as the light can go off in the dark.

Does it really make sense to get a single coil or three coil? The coils effect the coverage of wireless charging area but do not effect the speed of charging, am I correct?
3 coils charger can charge with a wild area, nothing about charging speed.

Got mine. So far so good. I can see myself using this charger for a long time to come. Thank you!

Has anyone tried to use the Samsung wireless charging back with a phone case and had it work? In other words, how much "stuff" can be between the coils and the receiver and maintain charging ability and speed?

I use it with the flexible TPU case. It works fine for me, no problems at all.
In fact, it even works for me with the Wireless charging SView case flipped back and placed between the charger and phone. That definitely leaves some gap between the phone and the charger.
What case are you thinking of?
If you're not in a hurry, it's worthwhile to keep an eye on chargers on eBay. I picked up a Keedox folding 3-coils charger for less than $20 (normally $35+) with a well-timed bid, and it's excellent. I also picked up two plastic Chinese 3-coils charging stands for $20 each. Those aren't as good, but they're good enough for my old S3 on my nightstand and my wife's S4.
I do NOT recommend getting charging receivers on eBay, though. Every one I tried from eBay failed within days. I ended up replacing them with receivers off Amazon.
How's the speed though? Been wanting to get a wireless charger but the thought of me waiting for a long time for it to charge is a turn off.

It's slower than wired charging, of course, but when do you charge your phone? If you charge it overnight, then speed doesn't matter. And if your wireless charger is on your desk, it charges every time you set your phone down. That beats the pants off "Doze" in Marshmallow.
If you need a quick charge, just unplug the cord from the charger and plug it into your phone. I never need to do that, myself.
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.

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.

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

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.
