Sorry if this has already been posted. I have the Note 4 and I am new to wireless charging. I wanted a car solution that's completely wireless (ie charging and audio). I've been looking at The Air Dock but I'm still not sure if that will be the best solution. Does anyone have any experience with that?
Also, I'm thinking that I will go with an internal receiver but I just read that there are 1mm thick ones and 0.5mm thick ones. Guess I should try to get a 0.5mm thick receiver? What is the max current that I can get with these coils? Is it enough to charge the phone while running Google Maps, Pandora, bluetooth, etc?
I will probably want a case as well. What do I need to know so that it will work with a wireless charger? I saw some car chargers that have you put a slim metal plate in your case so that magnets can hold onto the phone, which I like. Should I look for something like this? Will that also work with The Air Dock?
Sorry about all the questions! I'm just trying to make sure I get the best dock for my phone.

Just a suggestion, wireless charging is not capable of taking advantage of the Quick Charge 2.0 feature and to my way of thinking the car would be the place you'd want the fast charging. I got an Incipio Quick Charge 2.0 12v adapter for my car.

Thanks for the suggestion but I was wondering if it was possible to wireless charge and still run all these apps. I understand it won't be a quick charge or anything but as long as the charge is enough to keep the battery at neutral or positive charge then that's fine. I would assume the answer is yes

With my Note 3, a 2 amp wired charger was barely able to charge with Google Navigation running. I think you would lose charge doing the same thing with a wireless charger.

Dang I was worried about that. So what is the max current that wireless coils can do? Is it 1 amp?

Agreed. Current wireless charging probably wouldn't be able to keep up with the high battery demands of navigation, streaming music, Bluetooth, and the screen.
Trouble with Note 4
So I got my new Air Dock 2.0 in and I'm having trouble with getting the Note 4 to stick with this case even though it's glossy. Also, (and I knew this would be an issue, ugh!) the wireless adapter inside the phone isn't CENTERED in the phone so of course it won't wireless charge when the phone is CENTERED on the Air Dock!! This makes me so mad! The damn adapters should be centered so any dock will work once the phone is centered...
Lastly, does anybody have any apps that will automatically launch once connected to the Air Dock??

Tasker can do this.
Ok but how can I trigger it in the car? If I use wireless triggers won't it also trigger it when I get home and charge my phone on my wireless charger?

are you using it with the samsung wireless charging back? if so, any chance of some pics? also, are you using the nano-foam or magnets and for either, how "grippy" is it? the roads around me are full of potholes so cant have my note 4 flying off.
Ugh so I'm frustrated with the Air Dock. It's GREAT with my Nexus 5...it seems to be designed especially for that. My wife's Note 4? Not so much. I bought the wireless adapter that you put in the back of the phone to activate wireless charging but it takes all of 1 second to realize the coil inside that adapter is not centered with the phone. It's directly over the battery which is offset. So when the phone is put on the Air Dock it needs to be slightly off of the Air Dock to get a good charge going. Well this means there's less contact between the phone and Air Dock. The other thing I noticed is the case on the phone matters as well. Originally I had a softer, flat case on the phone which worked okay with the Air Dock but then that got dirty so my wife got a more glossy one that has a slight curve in the back. I think this may actually be caused a little by the wireless adapter protruding in the back. It's a very tight case so it's more noticeable. I can provide links to the cases if you want. I emailed the Air Dock with a picture of the phone's wireless adapter but they just said to try to use the magnetic sticker included and keep it clean. The magnetic sticker doesn't do much, especially for a big phone like the Note 4. I'm tempted to actually cut a really thin sheet of metal and stick it back there instead. Sorry this is long but I'm frustrated and ended up buying the iBolt dock for my wife which is fine but I really wanted to use the Air Dock. It's a great concept it's just not the best design. I even had my friend 3D print a sort of dock and then stuffed those super powerful magnets in it and it sort of worked but then it blocked the charging too much. Ugh
Is there such an accessory like this? Battery case but uses qi wireless instead of micro usb plugged on the phone.

Unlikely, wireless charging is very inefficient, so the useful capacity of a case like that would not be large (not to mention the coils are pretty large and heavy)
Dont really understand what u mean with battery case, but I ordered this one 10.000mah powerbank with QI wireless charging and should get around 1-2 weeks (I hopes). If its what u mean?

Nah, s6 have already a built-in wireless charging capability.
Lol, he's talking about a power case with built in battery/case at the same time. That has an wireless charging capability so he doesn't have take out the phone from the case to wirelessly charge or have to plug a USB into the case. As for the question. No there isn't any that I came across so far, and if there is, it would cost an arm maybe a leg too.
Did you ever find one?
The Incipio Off Grid (http://www.incipio.com/chargers/off...-extended-battery-case-samsung-galaxy-s6.html) is almost there. You can charge the case wirelessly, but the phone still connects via USB to the case.
Galaxy S7 got an official one: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-TG930BBUGUS
If you want a case with working wireless charging capabilities, this is the best option:
http://www.tylt.com/power-cases/energi-sliding-power-case-for-samsung-gs-gs6-edge
It's bulky but the power sleeve is there when you need it!
check out makezens.com as well
I got one in from aliexpress.com but there output voltage is very low! so no point! and the rest are expensive for my currency as they cost like 100$
There seems to be some confusion among posters about what exactly is being asked and why it may be needed. What is NOT being asked for is a battery case where the case charges wirelessly. Nor is the poster asking for a battery case slim enough to allow wireless charging of the phone when the case is on.
What IS desired is a battery case that connects to the phone via the Qi (wireless) charging connection and NOT via the microUSB port.
This is needed on occasion because charging via the microUSB port can be disabled due to shorts, port wear, or water exposure. My phone currently is in this state where it can ONLY charge via wireless. When I need power on the go, there is no good option (other than rubber-banding a wireless power pack to my phone, which is absurd). Additionally, power cases connecting via microUSB cannot work with my phone for this reason (none of the products posted in this thread will work).
So with that cleared up, has anyone seen the rare unicorn of a power case that charges wirelessly?

Pretty sure I saw one on Best Buy website because I thought about getting it myself. But that's been about a year ago.
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.

And using this so every time its in my pocket I'll have this in there charging it..

Its working really good and its cheap, don't get why not all the companies install it in their phones ...

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.
After doing some research I see that the XZ Premium doesnt have Qi charging built in like most other devices. There exists external wireless charging receivers that connect to the USB C port in the device to charge it. Im just curious if anyone has tried it and if so what are your thoughts?
Is it convenient to drop the device on a pad to charge if for around £15/$20? Or is it convenient enough just to continue using USB C?
Also I would like to know if charging speeds differ not that it would matter to me as I charge overnight but im just curious.
Thanks.
That sounds absolutely silly. Unless the plug-in accessory/dongle is actually also a case of some sort, what on Earth would be the point of plugging in an adapter to use wireless charging? If you are going to plug the phone in, just use the cable. Wtf...

some of these wireless adaptors have a very slim usb cable and pad so they can be placed in a case having a usb plug in the port all the time will keep dust out but could be annoying if you need to use the port for data transfer. In my experience charging is slower because most of the ones I have seen are rated at about 1A also they have to be placed on the charging pad just right and don't always work if your case is to thick. I use a micro usb one with my old phone worked well with one of those cheap TUP cases with the plastic back with the kick stand but only when I took the plastic back off. Another option is one of the magnetic cables not wireless charging but saves the usb port. hope this helps sorry I cant post links because this is my first post.

I understand your explanation, but it doesn't make the concept any less silly.
Well if it's not built in the phone why would i use dongles or anything else? unless there is a case that has a protection for the phone and wireless charging then i do not see a point on it.

Ive read that people use a case and they just place the receiver inside the case since its said to be really thin. Also the cable that plugs in is like a flex cable so you could easily hide the receiver inside a case.

My car has a nice wireless charging pocket that you put you phone in. It feels a lot nicer without having to plug in a cable and make a mess out of it. I would prefer using a wireless charging case just to NOT use an extra cable.
Hello,
Buying the 8T in place of the Pixel 5 I knew I had two flaws to cover.
1. The Google Camera which is obviously done by one the many ports out there and
2. The wireless charging.
For the latter, is there a manufacturer who does a Qi adapter to be placed in a specific cover with a carved placing ? That would be it!
Also, I tried a 10W adapter bought on Amazon. It was indeed charging at a 10W "speed" but I couldn't let the phone on the wireless charger the whole night like I was doing with my iPhone Xs. It was buzzing and hot as f***. So I returned it. Maybe a 5W could be better ?
So a software switch could be the thing to disable it. Or a couple made from the adapter and the wireless charger ?
I think all available models are far from what is available when the charging coil is integrated inside the phone.
Any ideas ?
Does my question really interests no other 8T owner..?
