Heya,
So I have ordered a Promate MagMount to have the phone attached securely on the front, I went with a magnetic holder as they seem to be much better than traditional phone holders for cars (as the clips on the sides sometimes scratch and such the sides).
My question is, does anybody have experience with using a metallic disc on their phone/case and used it with a wireless charger?
I was first thinking of attaching the metallic disc on the back of the phone itself, then thought about keeping the metallic disc between the phone and the case (without attachment) and then finally thought of just sticking it on the clear cover case itself.
As I charge the phone wirelessly with the case attached, will the metal interfere severely with the wireless charging and cause some sort of hazard or damage to the phone? Or can it work without any issues?
I use the Spigen magnetic vent mount and have the piece of metal in between my phone and the Spigen Ultra Soft case. I cannot use the wireless charger as the piece of metal interferes with the charging. If you put the piece of metal on the case and take your case off when you charge it will work fine.
By the way, what is the big advantage to wireless charging? I've used it for a few days and it doesn't seem to have any advantages. I can't even use the phone while it's charging. If you plug it in you can at least use the phone while it's charging.

Nothing super special except that it just looks cool and you can immediately pick up the phone and go, without the need to disconnect any cables.
Well, taking off the case again and again would be hectic for wireless charging...Damn would have to look for something or place the metallic sheet above the battery area and such...

Also don't forget about electromagnetic field which is used by wireless charger
Even if it will charge with this metal plate, it will heat up metal and battery.
Be careful when you use wireless charger
I enjoy my magnetic holder. It's in a perfect location and the phone attaches nicely to it. I can see it perfectly for navigation. I'll gladly give up wireless charging for it.

Wireless charging is no advantage for me either. It takes no time to plug/unplug. Mag mount is so worth it.

I have an Airdock 2.0 and while it does work, it just not work to charge at high speed. Holds the phone pretty well in my case.
You can have wireless charging and use a magnetic mount. You'll need to place the metal plate near the bottom of the device. I have mine there and have no issues with wirelessly charging.

I will try that.. thank you! I have a small round plate and a larger rectangle one.. use the small round one right?

Both work fine, the rectangle one needs to be long side down for the wireless charging to work.

Hey guys, I had the same issues too, so I had to take off the case every time I wanted to get my phone wireless-charged until I happened to see a blog: No One Will Tell You These Tips on Selecting Magnetic Phone Mount (But You Can Learn Here), where shows how someone solved the metal plate problems by embedding it in a case, so the metal plate won't interfere with wireless charging anymore whilst you keep the metal plate working as always. which truly impressed me a lot, to be honest, this is the solution what I've been looking for. Hope this blog is useful for you too.
MagCase
Few months I got a Magcase from my brother for my birthday, which works well on my phone to date. as my brother told me that this case has the metallic plates embedded in so that the case can work both with the magnetic car mount and with a wireless charger without affecting the ability to charge.(not sure about it but at least this case saved me up from looking for a stuff combining wireless charging and magnetic car mount), loviiiing it
Went through this myself with a Galaxy S8 I had just for one month. Personally, I decided to opt for another mount, since I use wireless charging a lot, if the phone I have supports this. My solution was to pick a regular air vent mount and kept the phone with a Spigen case on it. No scratches at all and it keeps the phone very steady, while I can still enjoy wireless charging.
Metal heats up the phone during wireless charging...so I take the case off while wireless charging...however my s8+ motherboard conned off not sure because of magnetic car holder...any inputs if magnetic car holder can damage s8+ which also has wireless charging ability...

Just curious if anybody is using a magnetic car mount with their S6. If so, how are you attaching the metal plate in the phone? I used to just put it between the phone and a phone case, but this isn't working so great for the S6 because it interferes with the wireless charging. Is there any way to have the best of both worlds? Interestingly enough, the phone sticks to a magnetic mount out of the box, but the connection feels a little weak to me.
What are your thoughts?

I'm using one with mine, no need to install anything on the phone it just works.

What are you using? I'm researching this solution also. Is it a wireless charging dock?
Nope just a magnetic mount from walmart.
I have an iMagnet mount. With my S4, I put a disc between the phone and case for the magnet to hold. The disc, of course, interferes with wireless charging on the S6. The metal body of the S6 is enough for the magnet to hold it without a disc, but the glass back of the S6 is not grippy enough and the phone slides right off the magnet. I have a case coming today that I hope will provide enough grip for the magnet to hold the phone without a metal disc. If not, I might try cutting the disc down to a smaller size and see if I can get your best of both worlds.
I got this at Walmart yesterday and it works great, http://mobile.walmart.com/ip/Scosche-Magnetic-Dash-Mount/37699955
Would it work If i have a case around my phone? using a pure gear - Dualtek case.

Hmm okay that looks a little bit thinner then my case.
What i am using at the moment:
http://www.pure-gear.com/shop-by-de...xtreme-shock-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-6.html
I guess the only way to find out is tonight, when I pick-up my wireless charger if it even charges through the case. If it does then maybe the magnet will work.
With a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case on my phone, it provides enough grip against the iMagnet mount with the phone's metal body to hold the phone in place on the mount. It stayed put the whole drive to work today (~15 miles) and only tilted slightly.
There don't seem to be any OEM Qi backs left., which is what I wanted. I got an aftermarket one, which is as thin as the stock non-wireless back, but that 1) doesn't fit all that well; there's always a gap at one corner or other, depending on which end I start with when putting it on, and 2) is at least moderately durable.
The one I have is starting to split, 3 months in. It charges fine (800mA at 5VDC, which is better than my Note 3 with OEM charging back)
So... if you are using a wireless charging back, which one are you using, and how do you like it?
BTW, I've been using a number of these wireless charging docks ($10 on amazon) and they're great if you want a spot you can just plonk your phone down and have it charging.
Hello, I'm using this on my phone and it fits and works perfectly.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DB899XQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Here is the back I purchased.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DB89ACG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I use it with this charger. I read a lot of reviews that the wireless charging is very slow and someone even said it was more like a toy... For me, the wireless charger easily charges my phone as fast as a 1 amp charger. You do have to have a minimum of a 1 amp wall adapter.
https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Cha...90870&sr=1-11&keywords=wireless++fast+charger
EDIT: I forgot to mention, I use a rubberized case with my phone, so it is rather thick and have no issues using the charger with it.
I think the charger and back that bishop mentioned are fine. I used similar, but I actually stripped the charging circuit out of the back, removed the black plastic cover and put it into a standard (genuine) Samsung back, which I know fits perfectly. In fact, I bought 2 of these backs and stripped out the charging circuit in both. I put one in a standard back and another in a Samsung S-View cover because the Charging S-View cover from Samsung is no longer available. Now I have the choice of either S-View charging or standard back. charging for when I use the VR headset. BTW, looking at the circuit for the backs I used, it looks like NFC is in there as well.
I bought two different Qi receivers (and used the original back), and I regret it. The first one died after a month or two, and the second one heated up the phone while charging and ruined the battery.
So I broke down and bought Samsung's wireless charging back, and it has been working perfectly.
where i can find original oem samsung back QI ?

I also use this back, (sold under the h-ber brand name on amazon) and it works fine. Of course the back does fit a little tight, and sometimes, you have to put it on the bottom (near USB port) first, or the clips don't clip.
I have phone in a incipio case which is two layer TPU and polycarbonate and pretty thick, but it charges fine.

I have used a samsung fast charging qi dock, and a pleson fast charging dock, which both work fine, but will only charge at normal qi speeds due to lack of qi fast charge support on the note 4.

What are you doing to hold those stripped pieces in place? Is it just packed so tight that you don't need anything or did you attach it somehow?

I just put the circuit panel onto the phone in the right position and then glue on the cover and then fitted the cover without moving the circuit panel. Press down well and the charging receiver is now glued to the case and in the correct position.

Thx a bunch for your prompt response. Sorry, what kinda glue is this? I know it gets hot back there and I've never been this best at choosing proper adhesive materials. I'm specifically using this setup for a contraption I found for the gear. I purchased a built in back but don't trust it's quality. Here is the gear contraption. It will be my 4th fan setup but this time, wifi charging is a possibility:

I used double sided tape when I did mine - not quite as permanent as glue, just in case it moved before the glue set.

The best in my opinion is the Schosche Magnetic Mount (the small sticky version). It really sticks, and is convenient. But on the down side, you can't use the wireless charging with it.
here's a link:
I planned on using the cd mount that I had with the note 8 on the 9 but after it popped free 3 times in a row driving down the road I just ordered a mount from proclipusa.com. That worked out so well I ordered another for my other vehicle. No point in taking any chances with this phone.
These guys have a couple of different options but for me this is the best one for any phone.

Depending on where you put your metal at you can still use wireless charging. I have a magnetic mount on my car and two pieces of metal slapped on the bottom of the case. Holds both upright and sideways just fine. Wireless charges as well.

would you mind showing us how you placed it and what kind of metal plate you have? cause mine is a bit too wide so it covers mostly the entire back of the device so wireless charging wont work.

Brodit is Proclips on this side of the pond. I agree it is one of the best I have ever used. I do wish the note 9 holder came with the clip for the charging cable like the one in your video.

I need to move it down, and use 2 of the smaller one. Since I wanted it to also hang sideways I used two plates to have more force to hold the phone in place. I looked at the video of where the wireless charging pad is on the phone so there is some wiggle room.

Keep in mind (main reason why I didn't look at wireless charging for the car) if you have android auto and other things running the wireless charging couldn't keep up on the charging. That is why I just plug in if I am going on a longer trip and short trips just quickly mount it. This phone has done amazing on battery life.

For those with the magnetic car mount. Does the magnet not effect the s pen anymore? I remember seeing the old notes loose sensitivity or touch with the s pen when a magnetic case or mount.

Not that I've noticed, I do notice my screen comes on for an off screen note sometimes when I put my phone on the magnet a little to the left.
Hi All,
I ordered my Note 9 512gb a little while back and have a few more weeks to wait. While I'm waiting I'm getting all the stuff I think I want to have with it. One of those things is a wireless charging car dock. There are too many out there to really know which is best so I thought I would ask the people that already have the note9 and possibly are already using a wireless car dock. Thanks!
I'm interested too. I'm searching for one usable with the clear view cover. Magnetic one would be great but I'm scared by the metallic ring and Qi interferences. I'm thinking of building my own based on the magnet already in the cover...

I went with Choetech one for my other car because it has a USB C inout for power. Works good, about the same as the iottie one touch except not as convenient.

I like the Choetech charger but 2 things bug me. The arms are slightly curved inwards toward the end and when the phone sits in the cradle all the way back the tips of the arms slightly block the screen. And forget about accessing the side edge function. 2nd is the mount, it doesn't use the 17mm ball and it's reversed compared to other mounts. The socket needs to be on the back of the device instead of the ball.

Thanks gottria. I use a panavise mount in my C63 and have a 17mm ball to hook the dock onto. This would've completely screwed up my setup :highfive:
I've just bought the choetech fast wireless charger mount. I have a Vauxhall vivaro and theres no good way to mount it so its on the windscreen towards the top with a USB trailing down to the quick charge 12v plug I use. I can see it being a pain but doesn't really block my view. I prefer air vent mounts had a baseus wireless charger but didn't even charge the phone. Compared to the choetech its much more cheapy and flimsy the choetech feels solid. Which is good but if anyone can advice a way I Can get a air vent mount to hold it to that then would prefer it.
My main worry about the choetech is with cold freezing weather coming in and frozen windscreens how well will it actually hold up as dont want my £1000 phone dropping and smashing. :fingers-crossed:

If you find a solution, let me know. I too am struggling to find one that works with the clear view cover
I have to say that when it comes to car mounts period, the folks at EXOGEAR are the best from my experience over the years. I've used their tablet and smartphone mounts. These mofos stick to practically any surface. Couple that with the way the phone snaps in and out of the mounts? It's so quick and easy.
But now I'm learning these guys make wireless chargers for their mounts. It says it goes "up to" 9v so I'm curious how fast it actually charges the N9.
Since it's EXOGEAR and I swear by their suction cup performance I'm going to buy it soon as it comes available and I'll check back later and let y'all know how it worked out. I honestly never felt the need to have a wireless charger in my car because I typically have plenty of battery life by the time I get home but this wireless charger peaked my interest.
https://exogear.com/product/exomount-qi/
I purchased the iOttie and loved it enough to purchase a second one for my wifes car. I havent found a single suction cup that would work with my leather in the car so I purchased a panavise mount and 17mm ball adapter to mount it. But while waiting for those to arrive I tested the suction cup and it holds... amazingly. The mount hasn't shifted in the slightest and I have launched the car from a dead stop a few times trying to get it to shake lose. I can feel my body violently being forced back into the seat but the mount doesn't look fazed. First time I can actual praise a suction cup mounting system.
Also I thought I should add that "Fast Charging" is displayed when the phone is docked.
I'm using the Baseus Qi Wireless Magnetic Fast Charger and it's pretty good. The only downside is if you have stiff car suspension (like in sports car) and get into a big bump, the phone can lose grip and fall.
https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32836...l&spm=2114.12010612.8148356.49.9226935c3ACvcY
Since my car already has a navigation screen I don't need the phone up in the vent area. Besides I didn't like any of the in vent holders. The magnetic phone holders out there I don't like since if i hit a bump or pothole the phone will fall due to its weight. There is a coin slot holder in my care but the wireless ones usually have a base that won't fit in that holder. But I then found a wood wireless charger a while back that had a metal base which is removable. I placed it in the coin holder and it charges my then Note 8, now Note 9 even with a case. Granted it is not a fast charge type of wireless charger but it does charge my phones quickly enough on the half hour of driving from work to home. So it does the job enough for me, looks great and I don't have to worry about the phone falling off a magnet or blocking the vent.
Got this charger for £12.99 on Amazon:

Feels cheap and looks cheap but it works and does the job well enough. It's foldable too, so you can use it either horizontal or vertical.
Worth it, if you need to buy a cheap one to leave at the office.

There are magnetic holders that claim to work without blocking the wireless charger. They use a metal piece shaped like an upside down "U" instead of a square one. Given all the warnings against mixing credit cards and metal on cases and what not with wireless charging, I'd be weary of trying it out myself on my own phone, but they do exist. Just search for wireless charging compatible magnetic mount, I'm sure some will turn out.
Could be that I'm missing something (perhaps even a crucial factor), but why couldn't you use a wireless charger at the same time you have a metal plate in your case? It can't be harmful to the phone right?
I have a strong enough carkit so I can use a relatively small circular piece of metal in my slim fit case for the Note 9, works a charm. I've tested the location in the case, so I can use this in my car and still be able to put it down on a wireless charger so it charges without a problem. Okay, so when I put my phone on the charger pad a bit to far down or up, it doesn't charge, but that's just a matter of trying which position is best and this will become a non-issue the more you use it (since you know exactly how to put it on the charging pad).
Please enlighten me whether or not it could be harmful in any way to the phone because I don't want to risk a $1250 phone for the convenience of charging wirelessly. But I haven't ran into trouble this way just yet. Been doing this also with my Galaxy S8 for over a year btw, it still works like new.
Btw, @OP, can you share a link to the charger?

Could be that I'm missing something (perhaps even a crucial factor), but why couldn't you use a wireless charger at the same time you have a metal plate in your case? It can't be harmful to the phone right?
I have a strong enough carkit so I can use a relatively small circular piece of metal in my slim fit case for the Note 9, works a charm. I've tested the location in the case, so I can use this in my car and still be able to put it down on a wireless charger so it charges without a problem. Okay, so when I put my phone on the charger pad a bit to far down or up, it doesn't charge, but that's just a matter of trying which position is best and this will become a non-issue the more you use it (since you know exactly how to put it on the charging pad).

I put a link to charger on the video description.
I just bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C5KCQQ4/
Fast charges a little slower than directly plugging the Samsung charger into the phone (as expected).
The hinge is a tight friction fit, so the angle is adjusted wherever you like.
