KiDiGi OMNI LC-UMB Rugged Case Compatible Galaxy S6 Charging Dock - Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories

Because of my issues I'm having with wireless charging pads and docks, I'm considering this universal dock to replace the one I've been using.

The best part of it is that it is a true universal dock, with the Micro USB connector being able to pivot forward and backward, as well as the unique ability to raise and lower the connector by turning a dial on the back of the dock:
My current universal dock just can't be modified enough to fit my S6 Edge with a very thin case on it, but this looks like it will fit just about anything. They also offer it with a reverse connector for those phones with the USB connector facing the opposite direction (Google, HTC, Windows, OnePlus).
They can be found for purchase on sites around the world, I don't work for the company, I'm not posting any links directly to product pages. Their own website incorrectly lists the LC-UMB as a fixed dock compared to this adjustable one, so there may be some issues with posting a link anywhere anyways.
Looks great, what are your thoughts?

Is this Dock compatible with fast charging?
I have a few Myrin Charging cradles which has been compatible with all my Android phones and tablets but it uses it's own propriety USB cables which does not support fast charging. Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/330827203249

it looks okay

I'll let you know soon! I have my Fast Charging adapter in my charging valet right now ready to go for when this arrives, and hopefully it will "pass through" the charger. In the past, my Seidio Innodock Jr would allow the previous king of USB adapters, the OEM Samsung 2.1A that came with the S5, to charge the device at 1900mAh as read from the Galaxy Charging Current app, so that's about as good of a "pass through" charger as one would get. But only time will tell, I've received a message from the place I ordered it that it has shipped and I should receive it sometime this week.

Just received the dock and can CONFIRM that Fast Charging does work on it when connected to the correct adapter. Fast Charging shows up on the pull down notification bar. This dock is solid, very nice looking, and should work great with future devices as well, no complaints so far!

Cheap car charger

£6.99 plus £1.39 shipping. Just over a week to get from Hong Kong, its a USB type charger with an indicated 5v output, includes a UK mains USB plug also rated at 5v and a sync/charge cable similar to the Samsung one.
Slightest criticism would be the plug that goes into the tab is slightly loose compared to the original, otherwise very good quality.

They will be very unlikely to be 2100mah , more likely 500-800mah , you cannot believe specifications labels from hong kong/china , The SGTAB needs a lot of power to charge correctly, I would be very weary of using them at all!

Meh, my eBay car charger works just fine.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
Can you post a link to that charger? I've tried both the Duragadget and Scosche "2A" car chargers, and neither one fast-charges the Tab. The only thing that's worked for me is getting a 12V inverter and plugging the standard wall-wart into it.
Well, i had this experienced with my blackberry handheld. Using the 3rd party aka non genuine car charger and find out the IC charging it wont worked so it must be replaced with the new one.
could be the voltage standard is different with the genuine one...u might wanna considered again to using the non genuine part for an often usage might damage the handheld

Tesco have them for a couple of quid. They're original Samsung. That, along with all their other accesories are drasticaly reduced to clear. HDMI doc is 9.97, cases are a fiver for the pouch or nine quid for the case and stand.
Use any ordinary USB charger, but use d- n d+ shorted cable to

Review- The Choetech 3-Coils Fast Wireless Charger

This is a brief video demo for my review of the @choetech 3-Coils Fast Wireless Charger. I received this review device from Choetech today and I love it.
Wireless charging allows for my phone to simply be placed on the charging pad and fast charge without having to plug anything into my phone.
Wireless charging is available on many devices but Fast Wireless charging is limited to Samsung Note 5 and S6 Edge +. My phone with charge from dead to full in a little over an hour. In total, it takes about an hour and twenty minutes. That's amazing.. The T513-S 3-Coils Fast Wireless Charger and chargers compatible with your device, can be purchased at www.choetech.com
https://youtu.be/mkeaUB3in_I
You can grab this device for $36 and that's way less than most others. The build quality is great and it charges my phone perfectly..

Great Charger
I picked up one of these chargers as well. It's a great product at a great price. If you are looking at getting one of the fast wireless chargers, it's about 25% less than the Samsung OEM one, but does just as good of a job, if not better. I have both and before I got the Choetech one, finding the "sweet spot" to charge my phone sometimes took me a couple of tries. With the Choetech I don't think I've ever "missed" putting my phone in the right spot.
The only knock on this versus the OEM one is the light is pretty bright. Much brighter than the original. I had my Choetech charger in my bedroom for the first night of my test, but had to take it to work as the light woke me up at night.
Other than my own personal preference, this charger is great. If you are looking for a fast wireless charger, I'd highly recommend going with Choetech.
You can grab it from Amazon: http://amzn.to/1m0oFnA
Unfortunately it only works for Note 5 and S6 Edge plus. Is there any fast charging receiver?

You are in the Note 5 accessory section. Can you rephrase your question?

[Review] CHOETECH 55W 6 Port USB Charging Station

Full disclosure, I was provided this product at a discount cost for a fair and unbiased review. With a Nexus 5x and 6p and a slew of microUSB devices still around the house there is often not enough chargers in the right place. Choetech's 55W 6-Port USB Charging Station took care of this, and now serves as our main hub with a plug for everything. It has 2 USB C ports, both capable of delivering a full 5v/3a simultaneously, which is something Google's dual port USB C charger cannot do. It also has 4 USB A ports, rated at 5v/2.4a each. For those good at math that means you can have any combination of 4 devices plugged in and charging at full speed. Yes, anything beyond that and the charging speeds will begin to dip, but in all likelihood the USB A/microUSB devices will not be pulling the full 12W of power (most non-smartphone/tablets will pull 5v/1-1.5a) which means that you may be able to charge more than 4 at a time full speed. Even still, to have 4 phones or tablets getting full speed charging is quite impressive from such a small device.
The build quality is very good on this product. It is mostly coated in a nice coat of soft touch paint, and it was smaller than I expected. The inclusion of a USB C cable is a nice touch as well, and the fact that it has a removable stand gives it more placement options. The only downside to this is that it does not offer Quick Charge to any of the USB A ports, but as I don't personally own any QC devices anymore this isn't a big deal. Overall this is a very good device that will find a permanent home as our main charging hub.
TL;DR: This is exactly the product I was looking for, but didn't know I needed and I would pay full price for it if I had to.

Wireless fast charging car dock

Is there a car dock available out there that will wirelessly fast charge the Droid Turbo, provided it is plugged in with a turbo charge cord?

Yes. Google search is your friend. Exactly those words: Qi wireless car dock
Tons of results, there's even a "best of 2016" compilation in the search results:

If you don't like the "clamp" style mounts, they even make MAGNETIC Qi charger car mounts..

If you don't like the windshield style, there's also the air-vent style:

And I'm not saying those are the best, it's just what I found in a couple of minutes of using Google search...
Then once I clicked on one Amazon search result, I saw the "clamp" vs "magnetic" styles then refined my search words to include "magnetic" to see other Amazon results.
Cool! Yes, I to found LOTS to choose from. Just wondering if anyone had a preference. Turbo does do wireless fast charging, yes?
It doesn't do as fast as wired QuickCharge 2.0, no.

As long as it does better than standard charge, 'that'll do pig, that'll do'.
Read here:
https://www.google.com/amp/amp.androidcentral.com/wireless-fast-charging-differences-explained
I think the standard to which you are referring was introduced in 2015, and this is a "2014" phone.
I use Qi wireless charging at home, but in the car I use wired QuickCharge 2.0 car charger.
I keep Waze navigation app on while driving, so I need fastest recharging capability.

[review]RAVPower Fast Wireless Charger

RAVPower sent me their latest wireless charging pad, which is capable of fast charging the Note 8 and other compatible devices up to 10W wirelessly. I've used many RAVPower battery banks in the past, but had never used any of their chargers and have to say I'm very impressed with the build quality. I've had countless Qi pucks, stands, pillows and other contraptions since first getting my Nexus 4 and the build quality of this is up there with the best of them, probably only rivaled by the second generation square Nexus charger, which is an all time favorite of mine. The RAVPower charging puck is very hefty due in part to an aluminum base, and the weight and rubber feet ensure that it wont slide around your desk or nightstand. The top of the charger also has a rubber ring with just enough grip for the phone to stay right where you left it down, and not move around if your desk gets bumped. On the front is an unobtrusive LED which has different color patterns to let you know not only if your device is charging, full or something is wrong, but it also differentiates when it is fast charging versus standard. The pad itself has a way to detect non-compatible objects and shut the power off. I had no problem charging the various Qi devices I've got around the house, and the LED is dim enough to not be bothersome in the dark. As an added benefit it turns off once your device is charged.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that RAVPower includes a QC 3.0 24W wall charger and a 3.9' braided microUSB cable. Personally I would have rather seen it use Type C, but at least they are both high quality add-ons and not a cheap afterthought as they are with many of the chargers I've tried. I initially made the mistake of trying the wireless charger with a USB hub I had, but the light just blinked red and it wouldn't charge anything. Turns out you need to use a charger that's capable of providing 9V in order for it to work. Once I used the included wall adapter things worked perfectly. Overall this is a great little package that'll provide full speed fast wireless charging to your Galaxy and Note devices, as well as work with the upcoming iPhones for all of you defectors out there . I'd highly recommend this, if you want to try it out they provided me with an XDA exclusive code XDABRAIN which gets you 20% off through 10/15 http://amzn.to/2ybD5qZ. (For those wondering, I'm not receiving any commission/kickback/other compensation for this coupon or link.)
