Disappointed with Qi charging options...

Maybe I'm expecting too much, but the way I understand Qi wireless charging is you should be able to use any combination of transmitter/receiver you wish and it should just work.
Well, as I'm sure some of you are aware, that does not appear to be the case with the Note 4. I have tried two 3rd party receivers with different bases and have been unable to achieve any sort of consistency.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OFKS66G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Above are the 3rd party receivers I've tried. You either have to off center the receiver with the base, or find a sweet spot that makes it look like if you so much as sneeze the wrong way the phone will fall off. NOT ideal. Most 3rd party receivers I have looked at employ a similar design.
Or you have a situation like mine where a base just won't work due to alignment issues. This is the case with the iOttie Easy Flex Wireless Car Charging Mount. The coil in the receiver sits too far to the left (screen facing you), and there's no way to align with the coil on the iOttie properly.
Here's the funny part. I have ZERO issues with the OEM Charging Cover. This thing where Qi is supposed to be universal may be true, but there are strings attached. Until there are no strings, I can't see how phone manufacturers can take it seriously...
I hope that the upcoming Galaxy S6 handles this better than that. It looks promising. It wouldn't be the sole reason I switch to it, but I can do a slightly smaller screen, don't necessarily need the pen, but they are nice. I just wish wireless charging was handled better....

I use the OEM Wireless charging cover and a Nokia base. I have had no issues at all. I would stay away from those cheap Chinese adapter coils. They seem very easy to break, they don't fit well with the stock cover, and are more prone to errors. They only sell for a couple dollars in China so don't expect much.

3 coils.
vertical and horizontal fine. I do have to position it 1 cm to the right or left from center....but still really easy.

I just got a Tylt Vu and have to do the same thing when using the Choetech receiver. If I put it upside down it centers perfectly LOL. Nothing of the sort with OEM. What are you using for a receiver?

When you're talking about the coils, are you referring to the receiver or the base? OEM covers are made in Vietnam...

I don't mind that it doesn't charge as fast. That said how can companies like Tylt claim that their chargers can charge just as fast as wired?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DG8NUC8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
From the FAQ page on Tylt's website:
Q: How long does it take to charge my phone with the VU?
A: The VU is designed to provide as much power as your standard USB charger (1 Amp) and will charge as fast as your USB charger as long as your phone is designed to accept that much power.​
http://tylt.com/faq/#vu
Granted, Quick Charge 2.0 is most likely not in there, but doesn't that only work up to 50%?

Wireless charging is not as fast as wired charging but it sure is convenient. I hate having to plug and unplug the phone all day. With wireless charging I just make it a habit to always leave it on the charging pad when I can. That way my phone is always at 100% when I leave. My OEM fast charger is still in the box unused. I got a deal on the Nokia pads a year or so ago and only paid $5 a piece for them direct from AT&T. At that price it's easy to place them in multiple locations such as the living room, bedroom, office, car, etc.

I have the same QI pad in ur first link. Works gr8 on mine. Now I'm using a different receiver. The first one I bought was the same slmpwrcard u got. Lots of issues with it, until it just quite. When it was kinda working, hit or miss, I measured the voltage the receiver sent to battery when connected with charger. It was low. Should be 5v, I was getting right at 4v, now it only puts out 1.7v, and won't even work. Below is the one I bought to replace. Works perfect! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P48BIFY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have 7 QI chargers, and they all work well. By the way, the QI pad u linked is a 3 coil. Also it only makes sense u may have to put the phone on QI charger a lil offcenter because the coil in receiver is offcenter.....

I bought the Yoo Tech wireless receiver and LagaLake wireless charging pad. There's a slight bulge in the back of the phone and I have to put the phone on the charging pad slightly off center. In the end, it was more work than just plugging the phone in. So, I'm back to using my fast charger. I'll have to get the official Samsung wireless charging back and see if it works better.

[Q] Looking For Battery Case w/ Quick Charge 2.0

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."
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-not-qualcomm-quickcharge-2-0-compatible.html

I need one too

Incipio's Offgrid supports Quickcharge 2.0 passthrough. http://www.incipio.com/cases/samsun...-extended-battery-case-samsung-galaxy-s6.html
So does this one: http://www.amazon.com/PowerSuit®-Ex...pebp=1437159482332&perid=1639MSQ5SW0SPDAQVBRA

@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.

MUCH appreciated!

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.

the top does close but not 100 tight there is a line gap compared to the bottom and side
i'm using the Samsung brick. also did you get a full charge out of it? I left it on the phone charging overnight
let the phone drop down to 15% then started charging. it started charging to about 75% then battery case ran out of juice

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?

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.

LG G5 Wireless charger?

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.

Which one do you have? And tell us about your experience. How long it took to charge.from x% to y%

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

Hey guys. Made a quick video of the module. Will update you once I have more time to test it. Sorry for the amateur nature

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.
