Best wireless charging pad for leather + Qi/NFC sticker? - G4 Accessories

After installing one of these:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wire...-Housing-Back-Cover-Case-T01/32357030303.html
into the back of a black leather case, I've noticed that this phone/antenna is very sensitive about where you place it on the wireless charging pad. I previously had a Galaxy S4 that I stuck a wireless charging sticker into, but that was much more forgiving about where it is placed on the charging pad.
Both pads I have are single coil. Lots of people speak highly of the Tylt Vue, probably because it has 3 coils. There are other much cheaper 3 coil versions available, and even versions with moving coils that supposedly find the sweet spot automatically.
What is the best wireless charging pad to use with this sticker?

With Tylt Vu do you have to place phone in landscape/horizontal to get it to charge?

Doesn't seem to be a lot of talk on QI Wireless Charging Pads.. What you guys using, with success?

LG has come out with a charger specifically for the G4:
http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-LG-Wireless-Charger-WCD-110/dp/B00XPTN0I2/
Looks identical to the one they had for the G3. Does anyone know if this charger (or any other charger) will allow the G4 with the Qi sticker to be easily and reliably placed vertically on the charger, so that there is no other fiddling around that is needed to find the "sweet spot" that is needed for wireless charging to connect and charge?

I grabbed 2 of these http://www.amazon.com/Itian-Wireles...437331299&sr=1-6&keywords=Qi+Wireless+Charger been great going to grab a 3rd for the living room. Phone is always charged up when I leave the house.
I just toss it on it and I have no issues

Was going to ask if vertical, but your review on the Amazon page pretty much says it all:

Yea I did write a review since I was happy with it for the price it is great. I grabbed it since some other reviewer said it worked with the Otterbox G3 so I figured ok this should work then with the Otterbox G4 and it did.

Lots of people are having problems with their Qi Charging of their G4s. It happens to me too, where the device will just start freaking out midway through the night. SystemUI crashes and I the desktop keeps crashing to a black screen. After a few minutes off the charger, it will recover. I am not sure why it does this though. Charging is a hardware mod. So there has to be some charging software that is freaking out. I've had my Nokia Charger for years. It charges my Nexus 7 2013 and other devices I have. The only problems I have are with the G4... and it isn't consistent. Some days are fine, others are not.
Some have said different chargers work with better results.
I am really disappointed that LG doesn't have official wireless charging backs available (and not the stupid flip case). If you sell a phone with Qi able... sell the damn Qi enabled backplates. I am unsure if maybe I have a bum Qi Sticker, if it isn't aligned 100%, or if it is just the phone itself.
It seems to get stupid when I take it off and on a few times before I go to bed. If I just plop it down and leave it alone, it seems to do better. But if I check my emails in the middle of the night a few times, it seems to be locked up in the AM.

Do people with the official LG flip case have issues with wireless charging I wonder?

What are most of using? Woild you buy it again? If not why? What other if any would you buy? If considering any one brand but price is an issue, at what price would it be reasonable?
I like the TYLT Vu because its a dock and its colors. But its pricey imo, but at $30 would you buy it? The LG dock has gone down to $30 as well.
I also found the LG pad for $20 right now. Any good, worth buying or spending a bit more on another plate or dock?
Let me know your opinions, Im looking to order one really soon. My sticker should arrive this weekend.

These are some I am considering and comparing official LG Qi

Only official charging back is circle case.
Otherwise you would need to do as others have done and buy/ install nfc/qi chip sticker.

No. I tore off the flip cover just like on my G3. QI works perfectly on my G4. I only use the Tylt Vu at home & work, & I have a QI car mount (Choe) for my car. I've never had issues with either. The car charging is slow sometimes b/c I'm always on bluetooth streaming & have my Google navigation going.

Good car charger

Does anyone know of a good car charger? I'm considering the proclip charging stand but $70 is steep. The charger I got for my RAZR from just wireless works because it's USB but it plain sucks. It stops charging periodically and I have to disconnect and reconnect it. It also charges very slowly.
The OEM ones they sell at the at&t Corporate owned stores work good. They cost $30 unless you have a company discount on your account.
Re
After my active car holder from brodit was broken (fired up, ruined my tytn and unusable) I decided to do a cheap solution. I bought a HAMA car charger for the MDA music II, cut of the powerplug and solded it onto my broken brodit holder. It works again now, without blowing up my tytn.
So the HAMA charger is perfectly suited, and i paid only 8 euro's for it!
(why didnt i exchanged my brodit? because i live in norway now and i didnt want to wait another 2 months for a new brodit so decided just to weld another powerplug on the broken brodit)

Hi,
I have the GPSforless was cheep and it works like a charm...

Tilt depot is based in Florida and sells several different chargers. I bought an HTC OEM charger from them for around $25 delivered.
www.tiltdepot.com
Back in November, I bought an "OEM Tilt Car Charger" on eBay for about $12 delivered.
The item that came was indeed in AT&T packaging, but the molded lettering on the unit said "Wireless Solutions model #474987."
So, convinced that I got screwed by an unscrupulous seller who stuffed an aftermarket charger in AT&T packaging, I went to my local AT&T corporate store to look at their chargers.
Guess what? They sell the "Wireless Solutions model #474987" in AT&T packaging. For $25, plus tax.
I've got a Brodit passive holder & proclip mount with a usb cable into a USB adapter in the cigarette lighter socket.
Simple & works a treat, as I can also use it to charge a bluetooth headset, camera etc. etc.
I have this, and have found it really good:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=300189722865&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=020
Ony negative about it is that the cable from cigarette lighter socket to windscreen is too short for some cars...
I got an iPod car charger. Don't remember who makes it but it is just a 12v to USB adaptor. You plug the iPod cable into the USB. Works with the Tilt USB cable too.
cheap
Bought mine here in the Netherlands for 4,95 euro
its a usb cigaret lighter charger 1100 mah
when tytn is in holder and standby it charges with aprox. 800 mah
Store called kruidvat
I use a car charger from Boxwave and it works very well; even when using GPS, it does charge the unit. As opposed to an old Motorola Razr car charger I was using that couldn't even maintain a positive charge when using GPS.
Also, Boxwave sells a nice, inexpensive mini-USB adaptor that allows you to use any headphones with a 3.5 mm jack. I am also happy with their extended battery (2700mAh); I just wish I could find a case that would fit it.
I use an iGo. Between my wife, kids, and myself we have 3 different charger ports. I like the fact that the unit has changeable tips. It also charges well, and is attractive.
$9.99 AT&T OEM Charger & $15.99 expandable GPS/PDA/Phone craddle (can be hard mounted, velcroed, or use cup holders & turned from landscape to portrait & will accomodate the unit with open KB) from best buy. I also have their tablet pc mount & a split USB charge to sync cable so I can provide my laptop with GPS & a data connection anywhere. Total setup less than 60.00
I picked up a Kensington USB car charger at Circuit City for $9.99 a couple weeks ago. It's a charger only so you'll need a usb cable also - I had no shortage of those. Nice and small with a blue status light and 1000ma output, so it charges pretty fast. At that price, I bought a spare.
OEM Wall Charger

I'm looking for the USB that has this shape.

I can find PLENTY of so-called OEM chargers, but none of them really seem to differentiate between the two shapes above. I simply cannot get the Kaiser to charge anymore using standard miniUSB, so I want to make sure I am ordering the proprietary shape.
So many of the threads here even refer to them interchangeably, and I really want to avoid standard miniUSB chargers. HTC does not seem to have them on their website. Bastards. Heh.
Thanks!!

Erm obviously not, since all HTC original chargers use the standard shape with "both sides having an angle" as you show it...
The top plug is only used on the headphones, there are no chargers that use it.

Great work. I've always wanted to try out those add-on chargers. I've have a leftover Nokia charger that I bought for my Nexus 7. I would have to think that the module will fit inside the case after you pry it off. I currently have a thin magnet nestled in the case to use with my car dock.

My charger broke the other day, the tiny wire strip ripped a little and it no longer charges my phone. I think it lasted around 3 1/2 months. Towards the end I found it somewhat inconviencing to not have a usb unless I took it out. I'm currently on the fence on if I'll buy another. However it was very nice to have.

These really aren't that great, I was forced to use the USB port since the stock rom is buggy/bloated because I use the PA Rom. My DT-900 charged hopelessly slow and being able to toss it on for 10 minutes and get 3 hours of charge is something I have to do sometimes now that my battery has worn down.

I would love to see pictures of the charging dock as well.
Just a quick note for everyone viewing this thread, there is a lot of info on this type of Qi Charging coil in another thread: External Qi Charging Coil.
Some of your questions might be answered in that thread, such as charging rates, and how it works. I've been using it for some time and enjoy it. About the only problem I have with it is that I want to add a chunk of steel and a magnet so that the phone will "auto align" to the charging pad. That and to hold the phone to the charging pad, as a slight bump with the case I'm using will cause it to slide right off.
Also one last note, if you are using a horizontal holster, it can snag on the usb plug. So make sure the case you are using protects the plug, or you are very careful. The Poetic case I have doesn't protect the bottom and top, and thus the cable can get caught by the holster. Vertical holsters work quite well with the Poetic case, you just have to find one that fits....

AT&T had the Nokia Qi Charging docks for $5 plus free shipping the other day. It uses a barrel plug to charge, but great for permanent positions like by the bed or office. I moved my Samsung (microUSB) over into my travel bag. I'm actually VERY surprised how well the Nokia Qi is at "pairing" with my Verizon. I seriously just drop it on there and it starts charging where my Samsung had to be "generally" in the same area to get it to go. The Samsung still had play room unlike some of the cheaper $10 ebay models where it required exact precision to "pair" and start charging.
I don't know if the deal is still on but would be worth a look.
UPDATE:
Yup Still $5

I purchased 2 similar magnetic cables by WSKEN on Amazon...$14.99 each. Looks like they are made from the same manufactures but under different names.
The micro attachment is very tight and keeps flush with the bottom of the LG G4...the magnet cable is similar to Apples magnetic charging cables. If you didn't know, you would think it was made by Apple.
I haven't got the chance to test them out since I just received them today, but so far so good.
They need to design different types of attachments, so a single magnetic cable can be utilized with several different charger types.
Overall, I think this was a good idea and should be better than a plain USB to micro cable.

This has the potential to replace wireless charging. Sony has been doing it for years.
Best is that it is so easy to retrofit any device
The problem with the stickers i've noticed when it came out for samsungs a year ago is that NFC does not work properly. So they make the sticker with thinner wires. Now NFC works but then the problem is it takes longer to wirelessly charge than with thicker wires. Next. you have to find a proper charger and depending on the device, if the vendor did not make it you will be lucky to get it working.
Too much hassle....
With the dual sim G4, there is no possiblity for wireless charging at all since the two pins are not even there, i don't think i will miss wireless charging.

Does this have any fitment issues with cases or will most cases with a large enough cutout work with these?
If anyone who has these could post the dimensions in LxWxH (in millimeters) I would greatly appreciate it.

Review: New ChoeTech wireless fast charger T511-S

I recently received a test unit to sample from Choetech, to use with my Samsung Note 5. To sum things up, this is simply fantastic! I had been using older Qi chargers before this, namely multiple Nokia DT-900 units arranged around my house. This just blows them out of the water! Granted, I've never used "aftermarket" chargers from Amazon or Ebay, just because I figured if they were low priced, they'd be "cheap". Well, I was certainly wrong in this case. Alignment is dead simple, and this charges almost as fast as a wired Quickcharge 2.0 charger. The phone connects reliably, every time it's placed on the charger, and works with the Spigen Rugged Armor case that I use. I haven't noticed any unusual heat from either the charger or my phone since I've started using it last week.
I tried a few phones with this charger, namely the Note 5, the Nexus 5, and the Droid Turbo. My Note died on me this weekend, and I swapped out to the LG V10, but as soon as I get a Qi sticker for it, I'll update my review with that as well. When the Note is placed on the charger, it glows green to let you know it's quick charging. When using any other device, it glows blue for "standard" wireless charging, though it still charges a LOT faster than those old Nokia plates.
The charging plate can be purchased here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016DAFUGY?ref_=cm_rdp_product

Received my CHOETECH T511-S fast wireless charger 2 days ago and it has been awesome so far, it's very small and lightweight which is nice. I haven't noticed it getting any hotter than the normal wireless charger from Samsung despite this one being a fast charge unit. I mean for less than half the cost of the Samsung one its a no brainer. I can't find anything to complain about with this unit, I keep it on my pc desk so while I'm on my pc I just charge it up. Also heres a link to my video review https://youtu.be/Fv1OI7Jq7AE
Note to the Choetech people: please make this available on amazon.ca
Thanks!
This sound a better one to give a shot. It's much cheaper price. Can I change the circle wireless charging pad to this t511-s? lol
Is it fast charging? How long time does it take to fully charge your Note 5?
What's the difference between this one and their other fast wireless charger (see below)??

I can't see any difference other than aesthetics. I'm sure there are other minor differences, but none that are apparent.
The first thing about this chargers faster than any regular wireless charger if you're using a Note 5. I was able to get from 20% to 100% in under an hour and 40 minutes. That's pretty good in comparison to the regular Samsung wireless charger, which took about 40 minutes longer. See the pictures for comparison (left is my 1st note on the choe charger, right is my second note on the samsung regular wireless charger.
The second thing is this charger is very affordable and does work with thick cases (see my pictures). I'm surprise that it work well, but you have to center the device.
The con about this charger is it's hard to see the green charging indicator lights when you set it down vertically. If you don't center the device, it won't charge and you won't notice it since you can't see the indicate lights. If I lay the phone horizontally, I can see the green indicate light but I can't really use the phone while it's on my desk. Also when it's 100%, the indicate lights turn off. Also the build quality is made of light plastic so it's not as nice feeling/sturdy as the Samsung's build quality.
Overall it works for what it does and it's affordable so it's 4 stars. I prefer the puck style wireless charger they are selling for a bit more.

The major difference is probably the LED indicator. The circle fast charger has special LED light indicates charging status: green light for fast charging, blue light for normal charging.
I have been using this pad for a few days now, and I love it. Compared to my OEM Samsung charging pad it is spot on.
Love the build quality and ergonomic design. I appreciate the fact that is very thin and has very sticky pads on the bottom that don't allow it to slide around on my nightstand.
I've even used this in my car and the pad did not slide around or move.
Another great feature is the non-intrusive LED light, because of this it has earned the coveted spot on my nightstand. The Samsung one as well as another QI pad I have both have really bright and obnoxious LED lights. This makes use of them on my nightstand very unlikely. I can't stand that bright LED in my face. Choetech pad has one small LED that can be pointed away and doesn't bother me one bit.
Furthermore, the cable that came with the unit is superb, seriously something as simple as this can really enhance a product. The cable is thick and solid feeling yet very soft and flexible, this is a big plus in my book.
Can't say enough good things about this charging pad, it looks great, charges fast and works well with my S6 and Note 5. Even the packaging was very well thought out, like something you'd expect from Google or Samsung.
Solid thumbs up from me, I highly recommend this product.
The only weakness is that it doesn't come with a fast charging plug. I need to wait until my my fast charging plug to arrive. Btw, do Choetech have some of this?

You can use the one that came with your Note 5. But yes, they do carry this.

The CHOE does exactly what you would expect a fast charger to do. It charges your device quickly and I had no issues with it. A great replacement to take on trips and Sumsung charger at home and priced at $23.99 it’s really a great deal. I couldn't hear annoying sounds from the charger, but the led light is very bright, especially at night, next to the bed.

That is a nice Spigen Slim Armor Case you got there. I have the same one, but I got the gun metal gray back color instead
Is this the same one?
w w w .amazon.de/gp/product/B017KA9USU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_titl e_2&smid=AS3H8BMRCXYCT
Because it says TS511Q and not S
Item model number: CHOE-T511Q
ASIN: B017KA9USU
and also the asin number is different . (maybe because USA/Europe) ?
I hope someone can help me!

Yes, it says 'QI Ladegerät Schnellladegerät' and looks exactly the same.
They seem to have two models, one for fast charging and one for standard charging.

Oke thank you.
and my last question
i can get the Samsun S6 Fast Wireless charger for about 35 euros. (original)
but is the samsung better qualiity?
or the same..? or is choetech better?
I'm planning to buy this one but it's not yet available in my area. Already have the Samsung Fast Wireless Charger (EP-PN920). Anyway, can somebody who has the ChoeTech charger make something like this:
The procedures/full article are from here:
http://phandroid.com/2015/09/25/samsung-fast-wireless-charging-comparison
The ChoeTech looks cooler than Samsung's. Anyway, I was also wondering why they couldn't just use a Red or Amber LED for charging status. Blue is very painful to the eyes. Green for full charge is OK.

I'm using this fast wireless charger from CHOETECH, the design is somewhat similar to that Samsung.
http://www.amazon.de/Schnellladeger...-Smartphone-schwarz-beinhalten/dp/B015K8D8WI/
I personally prefer to the CHOETECH one because it's much cheaper (with a quick charge adapter included) in US lol. ;D
It's not bad with fast charging and has a built-in lighting sensor in darkness that is good to use at bedside.
Well my friend prefers to use Samsung wireless charging pad as it has a heat cooling fan. Hope that helps.

Montar Qi Universal Car Mount and Charger

I was fortunate enough for Winnergear to contact me to review their newest car mount and Qi charger, the Montar Qi.
I have been using this for the last three days and am entirely pleased with the product.
I have not been able to find any faults at all with the design or usage of this product.
I will answer any questions you may have as soon as I can about this product, just ask here or PM me.
This arrived to me well packaged and quickly direct from Winnergear.com.
It is listed on their site at $79.99 and to me is worth the price, however they are currently running a promotion that if you share product on facebook and or twitter you get $8.00 knocked off the price instantly.
Inside the box you will find:
The Qi charger/mount
The base for the charger
A sticky pad to apply to your dash
A lighter adapter for power
The instruction manual

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The packaging is fairly basic, listing all the materials used and manufacturing location.
The instructions are easy to follow and well written.
Nothing too exciting here but I took pictures for you in case you are interested.
You have to attach the mount to the base, this is simply done by loosening the nut on the base and pressing it to the mount.
Then just tighten the nut finger tight.
The base has a suction cup on it that has a sticky gel in addition to the strong suction cup.
This should stick to most surfaces including slightly textured dash pads and your windshield.
For heavier textured dash pads there is the included sticky pad, just stick it to your dash and then use the suction cup on the mount to attach it to the pad.
This sticky pad uses high quality 3M double sided tape to stick and should work on anything.
Once this is together and installed in your vehicle, just plug in the included lighter plug and the mount is ready to use.
This mount is fully adjustable and should work with any Qi compatible smartphone.
This includes phones that officially support Qi charging and ones that have an aftermarket sticker of any kind.
I am currently using this charger with my LG G4 and LG v10 without any issues at all.
To adjust this mount to fit your smartphone, just press the button on the bottom back of the mount and the bottom feet will adjust up and down.
Use this adjustment to align the center of your phone's Qi receiving coil with the Qi symbol on the mount.
The arms that hold your phone locked into this mount are curved to hold your phone better than any other mount I have yet tried.
They are also large enough that they should hold your phone even with the thickest of cases on.
The arms on this mount are strong enough to hold your phone through even the bumpiest of roads.
I put my LG G4 in this mount and flipped it upside down and shook it as hard as I could to try to get it to come loose and could not get it to slip even a little bit.
Once you have this mounted all of the ports on your device should be easily accessible, the bottom arms are designed so that they should not obstruct any of the ports on your phone.
As soon as you place your phone on this Qi charging mount, it should start charging.
I have had no problems with heat buildup using this charger.
This will also trickle charge your device once it reached 100% charge and maintain that 100% charge.
Last, you are still able to use the camera of your smartphone while you have it connected to this charging mount.
If you would like to use your smartphone as a dashcam, you can easily do that without worrying about killing the battery in your phone.
This is easily a 10/10 product.
The price may seem a little steep to some, but if you think about what you are getting here, it is well worth it.
I would highly recommend the Montar Qi Car Mount.

Ask me any questions about this mount and I will try to answer them as quickly as I can.
thx for your review.
Does the charger/qi impair the radio reception ?
I have an other qi-charger/mount and radio is disturbed during charging.

I have not noticed an issue with that.
I will test later today and report back.

I did quite a bit of testing of cellular reception over the last few hours.
I have not been able to notice any difference at all with my phone on or off of this charger.
I tested 4G LTE, 4G, 3G, and WiFi.
I also checked Bluetooth range and it was also no noticable difference.
Thx

Hi. Just got the Monta Qi car charger. So cool! I have a Note 5. When I put the Note I to the Montar it showed wireless charging but not fast wireless charging on Note 5 notifications onscreen. I used a 5V/3.1A car charger & basic cable. Myou phone was at 78% charge already. I understand Montar does fast charging.
I tested the Montar & Note 5 pairing using the Note 5 fast charging wall adapter. Note 5 still only showed wireless charging in notification.
Does Montar support Note 5 wireless fast charging or just normal wireless charging?
