Wireless Car Chargers/Mount? - Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories

I previously had a magnet attachment on my Google 6p case that attached to a vent mounted magnet. Now I need a completely different charger and I'm a bit lost. I looked at the iOttie charger on Amazon but I'd like some feedback before I jump in and order it.

I just got that iOttie, it works. Little fidgety on placement (I have a kickstand case). Also, will keep a slow charge.
Update. I gave up on it, even with no case you need to be a sniper to find the charging point. Without a case on, the metal tab for magentic mount won't stick to the p4 glass back

I have this one. Love it. It's fallen off twice in the last two years. Just have to clean the adhesive cup and where it goes and no problem.

Thank you but this doesn't appear to have wireless charging.

I have been using this for most of the past year on my Note 8.
https://www.scosche.com/magicmounttm-pro-charge
Has been able to keep up with running Nav and Spotify over bluetooth during daylight with screen on without issue. Sadly, Nav and the Uber or Lyft driver app during the day drop the charging to just holding it's own, thise apps are really power hungry it seems.
Never had an issue with the phone falling off other than SEVERE train tracks once.
I will update this once I get a chance to try it with my new Pixel, hopefully my case will be in tomorrow.

I've thought about going the wireless charging route but AA only weekend when plugged in.

I've seen that one. I wondered if it was the same as the iOttie 2 that's being sold on Amazon.
It's this listing: iOttie Easy One Touch Wireless 2, Qi Fast Charging Car Charger, CD Slot + Air Vent Combo Phone Mount, Certified Made for Google Pixel & for iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Huawei, LG, Smartphones
Sorry I don't know how to copy the link from the Amazon app.

Sorry, replied to wrong thread

I got the following

This is a video of it on the road. I made a custom mount plate for it, then mounted it in the plate via the vent clip.

**At the time of video I was using a standard USB c charger as I had not received my quick charger**

I've tried 2 wireless mounts so far, and none of them fast charge Still trying to find a working one on amazon canada
These are the 2 I tried.. (And I am using a Aukey QC 3.0 charger)

I have been using Iotti Wireless Charger for a long time and never had any issues with it. I do use a case, but honestly, my case is somewhat minimal. (Ringke Crystal Fusion) it offers great protection, but doesn't get in the way of the wireless charger at all.
for what it's worth, I have tried other Wireless Charging Car Phone Holders - and honestly I hate the ones that have the electronic opening and closing to hold the phone. It's kind of cool - but totally impractical. The Ignition has to be on in order to open or close it - = just accidentally brush it and the phone falls out of the holder - I thought I would like it - ordered and then quickly returned for a refund because it just wasn't as reliable as the IOTTI I use.

The iOttie Easy One Touch model HLCRIO143 is their only model compatible with Pixel fast charging (same one the Google store sells). It works just as fast as the Google standing charger and even has "Made for Pixel" on the box. My only issue is it makes my phone overheat by about 10 degrees more than the plug in fast charger. My three Pixel stands stay cool. When it overheats the phone will either not charge or charge very slowly at most. It's going back to Best Buy and I'll continue searching for another one.

Just putting it out there but if you're using GPS and music while driving and charging, that might be the reason it's getting hotter compared to with the Pixel Stand. For me in the Florida sun and heat, I use a CD slot mount and point one of the AC vents at my wired charging phone.

I can confirm this charges rapidly (13.2w). Heat is not an issue for me.

I bought this one and it works great. According to ampere it's charging faster than my Pixel stand. It's also USB type C.
Edit: you will need a suitable power adapter to get the full benefit. I had a QC 3.0 car adapter lying around.

I use magnet mount. took a couple weeks to get it, but I love it. fast charging, never falls off. https://themagnetmount.com/collections/products/products/wireless-charging-mount

I bought this one first
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SCLNV9B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Typically drops to 20-25 on sale plus sometimes there will be a 3 dollar off coupon.
I paired it with my QC car charger and it consistently stays at 13.2 W of charging according to inware. It got hot and stopped charging the phone but I believe it's because i didn't have it aligned properly. The phone rest setting for 6.3" screen is not right for the pixel 4 XL. I had to bring it up but now it's aligned and not overheating. It charges fast.
The 2nd one i got for the wife's car is this one.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QNL3814/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
no matter what QC charger i use with it it only stays at 8.4 to 10w for charging and it's definitely not as fast as the one above but does charge the phone while i have gps running. I got it on sale for 15 bucks. There was a clip for 10 dollar off coupon at the time of purchase.
I may wait for the first one to go on sale again to replace my 2nd one and then regift the 2nd one to someone who has an iphone since it charges those phones quicker than my pixel.

I bought this, and my pixel 4 xl shows only 8.4 W with inware. I did use QC 3 charger. But still overall nice charger, has build in small battery, so can be opened/closed with car off. Which helps in not getting phone stuck once you turn off the car.

I'm using an Anker qc car charger if that helps and see 13.2 in the inware app. I'll try and get a picture of the car charger when I get a chance. It charges really fast. So much that at times I try my too use the charger all the time as sometimes on a drive home from work it'll go from 65% to 93%. I'm afraid it will wear down my battery. Luckily my car has a spot that I can just rest my phone. It covers up the display but not like I use the in car nav anymore.

Fasttech QI charger A021527514 $35

Ordered 19/2 Arrived 26/2 - 7 days from China / Singapore.
Comes with supplied charger.
Only had it one day.
Takes about twice as long to charge as a normal 2amp pregnant plug.
Looks good
After 2 weeks use
The charger works quite reliably with a TPC case on. The only problem is efficiency.It still takes twice the time to charge, and sometimes excessively long. Last night the phone was at 26% charge, put on mat, went to bed, after 10 hours was only at 76%. A cable charges it from flat in about 2 hours.

Fast Tech
Waiting for mine now, ordered on March 2nd...
AW: Fasttech QI charger A021527514 $35
Bought mine from Fast Tech too:
Charging speed is satisfactory but the battery temperature worries me a little...
The back of the device says:
Input: 5V 2A
Output: 5V 1A
And even apart from that it's pretty obvious, that it takes more time to charge wirelessly.
I'll try keeping the temperature lower by adding some sort of distance piece between charger and phone, maybe even charger and table - the little 'feet' on the charger's back are tiny...
Mine also gets much warmer on it than it does on the orb charger from Google/LG. Seems to charge fine though, I just use this one to top the phone off at work because its not secure or reliable enough to trust charging overnight.
How much did you pay for the original orb charger?
Google Play Hardware isn't available in my country

Like $70US shipped. Worth every penny to me. It secures the device (I have had no slipping with the 3 Orbs in my house) and charges reliably. To place the phone on it where it wouldn't charge would require it to be placed at a very unstable position that is unnatural.
IT sucks they aren't available but it probably has something to do with regulations in your country on these types of devices. Google probably needs some sort of certification first. Id offer to bootleg one to you but by the time its all said and done it would probably be $100US before it got to you.
I don't think it's because of regulations - no Google hardware has ever been available in Austria. It's just a small european country.
I could wait until it's available in Germany - they got all devices so far.
In the meantime I'll keep testing this Fast Tech charger.
The LEDs are enjoyably dim and it works pretty good.
But sometimes when the phone is at 100% already and it receives a message the charger beeps as if the phone has just been placed on it.
I'll keep investigating
Here's two pictures, display at maximum brightness.
ive got one but i cant connect and use it by any other input eg xbox 360 usb or a standard usb socket only uses adapter included ,I've sent 5 email saying this but they don't understand they keep saying check the charger supplied but that's not the problem,it will not work with any other usb powered input

I also tried using it with another adaptor (5V 1A) - whenever I placed the phone on the charger the right LED that flashes blue when charging turned red and the phone emitted a notification sound.
Using a Samsung Galaxy Note 2's adaptor (5V 2A) works - but only if the phone is placed directly onto the charger - using the adaptor that was shipped with the carger it also works if there's a gap of ~2mm.
Here's another picture of the charger, this time in a well-lit office.
good news and bad news ,good news is they have admitted its doest work on my usb charger or any other one apart ftom a pc or original charger and bad news is there still advertising it as powered from any usb port anywhere

s ent from my KFOT using xda app-developers app
Well, after a few weeks my resumeé is: It works - but only kind of...
- It emits lots of heat. It seems to stop charging at 40°C (red fault LED visible). Definitely not the best way to treat your battery.
- It's unreliable. Sometimes it doesn't start charging, sometimes it stops prematurely.
- It beeps.
So if you just want to use it in your office to keep your phone charged with short and sporadic usage periodes in between it should work, if you and your colleagues can stand the beeping each time you place your phone on the charger.
If you plan to use it as overnight charger or when the battery is rather dry, prepare to face disappointment.
But I guess that's all you can expect from a charger half the price of the original one.
Now I've got a new qi charger air box gonna set it up tonite box looks okay and theyvre even sent UK plug adapter looks good fast tech didn't Send one as far as I could tell they really was not bothered with my problems with there charger if you don't like it post it ,if its faulty its at your expense . fingers crossed with the air box one

3 Coils Qi charging stand for the Note 4

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.
We have made a video review of this product here

Nice stand works very well!

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.

Wireless Charging & Cases
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.

Wireless Charging

Yup. As the title says, what wireless charger are you using and how well does it work?
I've got an old Tylt Vu from my Note 3 and Nexus 6 but I was never really a fan of it. Felt like it killed the battery life span quicker. So I'm a little hesitant about using it with the V30.
that's one of the features I miss the most since since I upgraded to U11
Waiting for the V30 bootloader unlocked version to get released.
Using the pad from Microsoft that I bought with my windows phones (yes plural). It does well, also a JBL Bluetooth speaker that came out at the same time which also works well.
Fast Wireless Charger, CHOETECH Qi Fast Charge Wireless Charger Stand for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 S8 Plus S8+ S8 S7 S7 Edge Note 5 and Standard Charge for iPhone X iPhone 8 iPhone 8 Plus (No AC Adapter) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010B6PSMC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_g9N3zbW1NZDSA. Have this and LOVE it. Quick and easy placement. No searching for connection. Have one at home and one at office. Rarely ever plug my phone in anymore. Save the USB while I can. Don't really worry about speed although it's pretty quick. It's cool never noticed hear like I did with the flat little puck style chargers. Charges through my case and I use thick cases 90% of the time. Usually promo codes out there too
Here is what I found, after answering my own question in Q&A...
tekkneke said:
After digging a little deeper, I figured it out. There are two commonly distributed versions of Qi wireless charging right now, and those are five watt and 10 Watt. 10 watt has been widely labeled as fast charging. However, there is now a 15 watt standard that is so new that it is pretty hard to get the pads for currently.
As luck would have it our brand new phone uses the brand new standard. So this means we get awesome super fast wireless charging, but it is very hard to find the pads at a decent price. Older pads do work, of course, but at the 5w speed. I tested and was unable to get any faster result from the 10w pad vs the 5w.
The 2 that I found that existed are an Incipio Ghost 15w, and Belkin Boost Up 15w wireless charging pad. The Incipio one runs $60 and only appears to be available on their website right now. The Belkin one is on Amazon for $60 but is currently backordered. There is another seller selling for $70 on Amazon, but I'm sure those will sell out soon.
Another option is AT&T who has the Belkin at the $70 retail price. They seem to have them in stock in their warehouse but very limited stock in stores.

As far as cheaper chargers if you don't want to spring for the Belkin right now, out of what was on Amazon, Anker's fast charging pad seems to be a good value. If it is still out of stock when you look, there was a Spigen one that also seems to be good quality.
Both have the overcharge protection (according to their respective websites).

Personally using this one does seem to work great on my S8+ and my V30 and it does do fast charging.
Anker Wireless Charger Charging Pad
I have the tylt vu -- Worked without a case, but when I put the case on (Spigen Rugged Armor) it only works when the phone is in landscape mode, or in portait mode (upside down). I'm using in it landscape mode now, but may switch to a different solution later.
Had the RavPower charger in my cart but decided against it. Not sure why. I've never tried any of their stuff before but there's a really good deal where you can get it for about $11. I think my issue was that it mentions 15W charging a lot in the Amazon page but in the specs it only lists 10W. Might still do the Belkin one. I just have to drive a bit to get to a shop that has it in stock.

I bought the Choetech listed above and am unfortunately not getting wireless "fast" charging; just regular wireless charging speeds. I'm using the default AC adapter that came with my v30.
I am using the Samsung hockey puck ones that I got my S6. They are working great. They are not fast charging. I have read mixed does the V30 support fast charging via wireless?

I have the Tylt Vu and the Spigen Rugged Armor case installed as well. The phone does charge when put on the charger normally. I've just found that you have to set the phone exactly in the middle of the charger for it to work. If it's off by even a few millimeters, it seemingly won't charge. It's kind of annoying, just have to be extra cautious when placing the phone on the charger.
I'm probably gonna give that CHOETECH Qi Fast Charge Wireless Charger Stand (linked above) a shot.

Ditto on the Tylt Vu with case. Tried it out yesterday. I want to pick up a "fast charger" to see if there's an actual difference in charging rates and behavior of the V30. (As in, will it ever say fast charging or will it just do it and not say it.) I'll probably just pick up one of the cheapie fast charge ones although I notice they all just charge at 10W and not the 15W.

Since I tend to only use wireless charging at night while I'm sleeping, I actually prefer slow chargers, which is why the Tylt Vu is pretty perfect. I've read that over using fast charging can kill your battery faster so I only use the USB C fast charger when I need a quick refill.

Probably the heat from quick charging. I know they've been working on that and that's why charging starts quick when the battery is empty and slows down the fuller it gets now. I try not to leave my phone on the charger when it's full except when driving. For the most part, the drive in and out of work are two of the three times I'll throw it on a charger. I might bring my Vu or one of those 10W puck chargers to work and just top off whatever the drive doesn't get. I don't think I've had this phone get below 80% more than once so far. It just sips.
I have this one and first test got about 70% charge in under 2 hrs. I have a fairly thick TPU case on though. WIll need more tests, but I think it's good. What should the speed be with perfect wireless fast charge?

Ratings look good on that one and it has a built in fan. Nice.

Safest wireless charger?

Anyone knows of a reliable and safe wireless charger for the S10+?
Most claim to have overcharging, overheating and overcurrent protection and I would think the phone itself must have protection to stop the charge if the charger starts acting weird, however, a chinese wireless charger from amazon completely killed my phone.
I got one on Amazon of the brand "Pictek" and left my phone overnight and in the morning was extremely hot all day (average 45° C or 113° F), battery drained extremely fast in 4 hours then phone died completely with no way to turn it back on (I tried everything and didn't even go into recovery mode)
Also, the samsung ones don't have very good reviews either and I tried one of my samsung pads (one of the first generations, not fast charge) with my galaxy buds and they got extremely hot really quick and that doesn't happen with other wireless chargers so I discarded that one as well.
I'm temped to try something like anker or yootech but even those have a few one star reviews stating they melted or started producing smoke. I'm starting to get very paranoid with all these chinese electronics, just last year a car charger from an also "reputable" brand with a lot of reviews on amazon burned my passengers car seat when my car was like 2 months old
I use Samsung's fast wireless chargers (flat and angled) and they work great in my opinion. They have a fan located on the back to keep the temperatures down and are actually pretty quiet.
I use this charger and it's way small and works well with my Galaxy buds and S10+. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07H3QV49S/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdc

do you have the galaxy buds by any chance? I was thinking on getting the newest samsung dual charger but $99 is too much plus I prefer the ones that are like a stand (angled) instead of flat. I feel is less effort trying to center the phone in the correct position
I was also thinking getting one of the previous generation duo chargers but there are some reviews on amazon having the same problem I had with the samsung pad and my galaxy buds but they are having the issue with the Gear S3 but I was wondering if the same would happen with the buds.
ShaneB 0 stars, either defective or a fire hazard waiting to happen. Really disappointed

Okay so this is what I've been needing to charge my Gear S3 Frontier watch and my Note 9 instead of having 2 chargers on my bedside table.
The flat charger states it's fast charging; however, on my S8+, Note 8, and Note 9 it slow charged it, the fast wireless charging stand, however, did charge my devices with fast charging.
Onto the more concerning part of this review. My Gear S3 Frontier watch would overheat using the flat charger. My watch would throw an error in red to use the original charger - odd. In addition to the error, my watch would be so hot that the metal would burn my skin when putting the watch on after being "charged", which it took 4-5 hours to charge 85% up from 60%. Of course I thought it was my watch but when I used the charger that came with my watch it was fine. So in conclusion, the flat "fast" wireless charger over heats any Samsung device placed on it whereas the fast wireless charging stand worked great.
I purchase every S-line and a new Note every year, and this is an unacceptable 1st party charger.

I have a stand at work in my office that works perfect with the phone and the buds without barely any heat on either but I don't remember the brand and it doesn't say anything, just the voltage and "fast charge"

I do have the Galaxy buds and have not had any heating issues.
I hear you on the angled ones. I use the angled on my nightstand and flat on my computer stand. I'm waiting for the fast wireless 2.0 charger that stands up before I buy it.

Just to confirm, the one you have that works with both the phone and earbuds without any heating issues is this one?:

No, the flat one I use for the buds and my phone, and the stand for my phone only, for obvious reasons.

I've been using anker ever since, no problems here.

Question Wireless Charger for Car Questions

Which wireless charger do you use for your car and does it fast charge if the cable and charger are the correct rating?
I'm using the Mous magsafe case with the Scosche magsafe mount. It charges at 15w which is good enough for me, however the cable is proprietary, built-in, and super long. The mount wobbles a bit on bumpy roads, but the phone isn't going to fall off.

It worked nicely with my P6P.
But the volume switches are covered with the P7P which is annoying.

Are the volume switches covered by the arms of the charger? Do you get 15 watts?

No they are not ....they are JUST below and yes I do seem to be getting 15w surprisingly enough...!

I'm thinking of getting this too. Does it charge the P7P well? Does the holder clamping the volume buttons affect anything? I assume they're not so tight they're triggering the buttons.

How do you release the phone on this one? I can see it says "touch" near the bottom but my concern is that that's near where you would swipe up to go home and you may accidentally touch that part and release the phone when you don't want to.

I get between 7.5 and 10W. Occasionally the volume goes to 0 because the arm hits the button.

Thanks for the feedback. The appeal of the one you had was that it locked on to the air vent.

I bought the KKM charger but only get between 7 and 9 Watts of charging. I tried the included cable and cig lighter adapter (crazy blue lites on it) and a few other combos. All gave me the same result. I will keep using my QC3.0 cig lighter adapter without the crazy blue lites and LED voltage indicator.
I wonder how you get 15W. Are you using a case? I have the caseology case which is pretty thin.
I am happy that my volume buttons are no longer completely covered. It was on sale for $23 on Amazon, so I will be keeping it.
EDIT: The KKM charger is going back to Amazon. Two issues for me. I still use a USB-c wired headset when making phone call. The bottom lip blocks the USB-c port. Second, the touch center to open the arms is not reliable. I was futzing with all afternoon. I am back to using this charger, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09N6Y23WL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

I have to touch the bottom
So far it has worked great for me...will see how long it will last for 29$
I bought the Iottie auto sense charger, not fast 10 watt, but when I take a drive it will be a long one.
The auto sense makes it fun.
i went down the rabbit hole with what yall been talking about. just from reading, the HUAWEI one actually makes sense based on the description. so i ordered one from ebay, bc #MuRiCA. we'll see how it do, should be here monday.

Can you please give us an update on how it works?
I am especially interested in if it interferes with any of the buttons and what kind of wireless charging rate that you get.
Thanks
PS: I see the price for this on eBay is $60 to $80 dollars! That is a high price. And it uses a proprietary cable vs. USB-c.

so after using the huawei car charger for a couple weeks, i am very happy with it. it fast charges and it doesnt disconnect all the time. well at least i havent noticed it disconnecting which is more than i can say for all the other ones ive tried. i approve.
I did get it from ebay though because of that lovely huawei ban #murica, but it's worth it. i lucked out and found a shipper in the US so it didnt take long to arrive but while remembering the model number i found a couple newegg listings now. just one thing to keep in mind that the manuals will be in chinese but that shouldnt be a problem. no need for the manual. another side note, if you do get it...you do not need the usb c to go into the charger and the cigarette lighter. you only need to plug the cigarette lighter into the car and plug it's cable into the charger. you can use the extra usb c port on the cigarette lighter for anything else.
