Searching ebay, going mad, to find a wireless charging pad that is fast.
Like this one:
http://a.co/h0IWao6 (they don't ship here).
Any other "cheap" solutions?
Why? A friend got one similar and it covered the fingerprint sensor... With fast charge wireless no longer required

The point was to find one that does not cover the fingerprint sensor (like the one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_urCKGYUsQ (you can see it about four minutes in)).
Would rather have a wireless charger on my desk and night stand, than have to plug in the phone.

Cheap! $9.00 (20w) Generic Desktop Fast Charging Stand (Working w/NON OEM AC USB) including SAMSUNG Fast Wireless AC / USB

First let me say I have absolute ZERO affiliation to anything relating the sale of this product!
I am just sharing the wealth here for as being still such an unclarity on proper working charging accessories. A small gamble I took on purchasing (2) of these cheapies on EBAY turned out to be quite
a surprise.

• Fast Wireless Charging (13.2w confirmed)
• Charger immediately recognized on device (as PIXEL STAND) enabling additional GOOGLE ASSISTANT software
• Working w/various GENERIC AC Adapters & USB cables (YAY!)
including SAMSUNG FAST WIRELESS AC / USB + more
• No issues of overheating or phone getting warm.
I am unsure if the specs are EPP charging (as a listed requirement of FAST CHARGING via Google) though it seems to be doing the job as if it was.
What I did find ODD is that these chargers DO NOT play nice using the GENUINE AC Adapter & USB C cable that shipped with the PIXEL 4. SLOW CHARGING AT MAX! Go Figure?
I have tested various older USB cables and USB C adapters and all with no issues w/Fast Charging (though obviously keep in mind results do vary with stuff like this!)
Regardless, for $9 bux, its worth checking out for anyone who is interested.

If what you're saying is true then this is a Pixel stand for a fraction of the cost. That's pretty awesome.

for 10 bucks I'll give it a try. Worse comes to worse I can use it to charge other phones in the house.
I have one on the way from China. Will report back when it arrives.

Dumb question: does the generic AC USB plug being used with this stand still need to be USB-PD capable?

I think it only needs to be quick charge 2.0/3.0 capable. Didn't the OP say he had trouble using the original pixel charger that came with his phone? I actually ran into issues using my original pixel wall charger with some wireless car charger mounts. They worked fine with QC chargers.

I ordered one too for 10 bucks it's worth a try.
They sent two of these to me. Both show max 8.4 watts no matter what cable/plug I use and I have many. It also does not present itself as a Pixel Stand - those features are not available.
To add, I noticed the stands get in a state that bounces power on/off very quickly and doesn't stop. I would avoid these.

What do you mean it bounces on and off? Like it says charging and then says it's not charging at the bottom?

Yes, bouncing like a bad port on a router/switch. It goes from charging/not charging very quickly over and over after about 3-5 minutes of charging.
mine arrived today, I can also confirm slow charging and no pixel stand functionality no matter what adapter or cable I use

Sorry for any delayed responses here (holiday) though I have just caught these testing results.
I just received an additional (2) of the same chargers and all seem to charge fine here. (Pixel 4 XL)
All being used with Samsung AC Fast Charging AC adapter.
Check to see if the AC adapter you are using has both 5v & 9v output. (Must have 9v for the FAST to charge)
-
Can you post a photo of the AC adapter that you are using ? (all photos could be of assistance here.)
The stand itself is 20w so fast charging would more or less come down to the AC plug.
** Keep in mind that the OG cable and AC charger plug that came with the PIXEL phone is not compatible
with this charger that will hit at SLOW. (mentioned in OG post)
I tried several, from the OEM to choetech to aukey to zte. I used the cable it came with, OEM a to c, OEM c, third party c; i tried both type c and qc3 chargers...all with no success. I wouldn't think the pixel stand feature shouldn't have anything to do with charging speed, though I can't say for sure

I believe the PIXEL stand software features only become enabled when detecting a FAST CHARGE at 13.5w.
(which is capable when using AC adapters of 9v & more)
The only AC adapter I personally have found to be non working was THE OG stuff & USB C to USB C
Most USB C to USB A seemed to work with no hitch.
USB C adapters, had no issues with them either. worked fine.
Can you snap of picture of the AC adapter labels. ?
See if we could narrow down the issues.
also one last .... check the actual charging wattage using the app Inware. (Battery Tab)
The lock screen charging message will ONLY show Charging Wireless - not rapid charging (which is easily misleading) though is running at FAST WIRELESS CHARGING speeds.

Using with LG stylo 5 fast adapter and the chargingspeed is fast. between 1 1/2 hours - 2 hours total. Using with Usb C to Usb A cable 3 ft.
My only issue really was trying to get the extra software up and running. I couldn't figure out why or how to do it. strange as I moved my pixel phone upwards while resting on the dock all of a sudden it just appeared out of nowhere to activate all the extras. weird device for sure but works.

---- II personally didnt even know there was such software initially for as it only showed up about an hour later sitting on the charger. Please let us know how it all goes and if you have any trouble along the way.
Knowing they are knock offs, I am kind of curious to see what the long run holds. Thanks for the info.

I ordered a pair of these stands as well and am still waiting for them.
But I did order this one before that from amazon https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07Y9J68TC
and it also gets recognized as a pixel stand. (only when using samsung or QC3 adapters though)
Has anyone found a wireless charger that will charge the OnePlus 9 at 15w?

I finally found an answer for you:
"OnePlus uses Warp Charge wireless charging, which is a proprietary profile and only works with OnePlus phones. OnePlus allows its phones to fall back on 15W EPP when using third-party chargers, the same spec that Pixels use." "(Google Pixels use the Extended Power Profile (EPP), at 10W on the Pixel 4/4 XL and 15W on the Pixel 5. EPP is actually one of the Wireless Power Consortium's standard profiles, so you don't need to get into proprietary specs the way you do with Samsung and Apple.)"

I miss wireless charging from my S7 edge. Do you know if the options online are any good? Will the software detect its being wirelessly charged?
Which options do you recommend?( if you recommend any.)
Search for a wireless (Qi) charging pad with usb-c connector. Any will work. Use a hardcover, silicon case or something likely to hide and protect the pad
Hello everyone,
Any sygegstions/recommendations on a good wireless charging pad to charge the phone and the buds pro, even the pixel watch perhaps? Would also like to keep a fast wired charger for quick juice up - Not the google one. I am open to chargers with multiple ports for multiple devices getting charged quickly. So
1) Wireless charging pad (Atleast dual)
2) Wired charger with multiple ports
Thank you for your time and help.
I use this one to charge my galaxy watch 4 and galaxy buds+ together with my p7p. It works great! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09JZC8KFH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thanks. A bit beyond my budget, which is $25, but I clearly need one to charge P7P, Pixel Buds Pro and Pixel Watch.
does the speed of wireless charging soley depend on the adapter thats plugged in to the wireless charging pad?
