I believe the limitation of Qi is 500 - 700 mA unfortunately.
I think, but not sure, that you can use and qi wireless charger as long as it's connected with the included (and rather large) Droid Turbo power adapter.

I cant imagine you would need to use the turbo charger for this. Like SBC44 said the speed is going to be limited fairly low with wireless charging. It wouldn't be possible to charge that fast with wireless technologies, at least not with the current technology. The turbo charger moves a lot of juice.
Here is some good reading if your interested.

From the article "Slower charging – due to the lower efficiency, devices can take longer to charge when supplied power is equal."

I dont think so.. wall chargers are more powerful than wireless chargers.. Wireless chargers are still need to improve alot..
Wireless charging takes more than overnight!
Do not waste your money on the Verizon wireless charger. The battery in this is so big that even overnight does not bring a phone that was down to 25% up to a full charge.
Thanks for letting us know. I was about to buy the Verizon wireless charger 2 days ago when I was buying all my accessories for the phone. Would've been a bummer to find out how slow the wireless charger chargers. Thanks.

The TYLT brand wireless charger is capable of normal wall plug speeds. It will be much faster than the average Qi charger but at the same time the turbo charger is amazing. I do not know of a charger that can charge as fast as the turbo charger but this TYLT brand is pretty good. The only reason I would get a wireless charger is to reduce wear and tear on my microUSB port (the culprit for retiring most of my previous android devices).
I also think its common knowledge that rapid charging and discharging of LiPo batteries reduces the overall life expectancy. I'm not sure what Motorola is doing with this whole "rapid charge and non removable battery" thing. Its possible that Turbo users can prolong the life of their batteries by charging at normal rates but I honestly don't have enough info to make a confident statement about that.
Here's the fastest Qi charger that I know of right now:

Is there an actual model thats being advertised for release? Ive been searching everywhere for the right wireless car dock. Im trying to minimize my usage on the microUSB port.
That goes for everyone. If you know of any good wireless Qi car mounts /docks that would be superb. I drive all day every day.

Their website just says coming soon, but Android Police did a hands-on post about it a couple of weeks ago. Looks like the price will be about $80 (!).
I currently use this wireless car dock and haven't had any problems with it..
I was thinking of getting this car mount, but wasnt sure how it would work with the turbo. I have a few questions for you;
do you have a case on it? if so which one... i have the otterbox commuter...
what car are you using it in?
are you using the suction cup or vent connection?
any info would be helpful!

I'm not using a case on the Turbo, but I used it with an HTC One M8 with a Commuter case and it worked fine. I drive a Chevy Avalanche and mounted the cradle using a ProClip vehicle mount and one of their adapter plates for an XM Radio believe it or not. That matches up pretty well with the tab on the back of the Choetech mount, but I did have to wrap a few rubber bands around the tab so it was tight enough.
I've used this one for close to a year with various devices. It does charge at 1.2a but is limited by the wireless receiver, most are .75a or less. That being said, this unit works great with my BN turbo. It is always at 99-100% after about 7 hours on night stand even when starting below 20%. Currently I'm not using a case, but I have a Commuter case I used for awhile and the wireless charger still worked fine through the case.
May be available in the end of 2015!
Right now there is no wireless charger that supports faster charging but it will soon be available in the end of 2015 as it is under developing state.
I have the Tylt and it says it supports the rapid charging. I can't say it is as fast as the wall charger since I've only had it a few days, but it does seem that the initial charge is very fast.
Also, very stylish. The wife doesn't even complain about leaving it on the night stand.
Bought the TYLT when I pick up the DT its well worth the $75. It charges faster than all my other home Qi chargers and it keeps the phone at a decent angle for viewing. It is not able to keep up with the draw of TS3 Viewer though, but not really a normal issue. I use this charger everyday and it will charge the phone from sub 15% to full overnight. Consequently I normally use this charger to charge up my wife's S5 and it seems to charge at a similar rate to her normal Samsung charger. I like useing this charger over the turbo charger simply because it should help the battery to last longer.
As far as dash mount I use the iOttie Easy Flex Wireless Qi Charger. That one maintains battery levels with the screen always on running Dash and Google Play (it also almost keeps up with running GPS ie. Waze/Google Maps) I posted an extensive reply in a later thread about that charger.
i bought the TYLT and love it. when i turn droid off and put it on TYLT and droid turns on itself. how do i keep droid off while charging? thanks.
bringing this back as I just bought this device. curious to see if there are any fast wireless chargers available yet? i do see QI wireless charging pads, but not sure if that is what I want. thanks!

I don't think any have hit the market yet. I have several of the tilt Qi chargers all over the house, so I love wireless charging.
Hi, I purchased a Galaxy S6 Edge whilst abroad and got a 2pin adaptive fast charger with it.
I'm back in the UK and was looking to buy the Adaptive fast charger off Amazon.co.uk however for two of the sellers I saw a load of negative reviews about the charger breaking after a while or it bursting/overheating and burning up and that they are not actually original Samsung fast chargers.
Now I don't really want to walk into an actual Samsung Store and buy myself a charger from them as I'm guessing it'll cost somewhere between £20-30.
- If there are any other sites that actually do sell legitimate Samsung Fast Chargers please do let me know!
I found a popular Quick Charger 2.0 on Amazon which has very good reviews as well as users using it on the S6 and is reasonably priced - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Qualcomm-Ce...qid=1441513304&sr=8-2&keywords=qualcomm+quick
I just have a few questions about using other Quick chargers (2.0) and not the original fast charger on the S6 edge.
1) Will this be unsafe in anyway to use on the S6 Edge, as in it possibly getting too hot etc or would you not recommend using a 3rd party charger and just stick to an original samsung fast charger
2) The quick charge mode on the charger gives out 9V/2A, compared to the Samsung Fast charger which outputs 9V/1.67A. Will a quick charge (2.0) charger cause any harm to the phone or battery by outputting more power than the original Samsung fast charger does?
3) The charger I linked has 3 output modes. Output: 5V/2A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.5A - Since S6 edge supports fast charging will it just use the 9V/2A output or will it get to use the 12V/1.5A output and will this in anyway harm the battery or phone?
4) Could I use the linked quick charger longterm without any problems to the device (I really do plan to keep this phone for a few years).
If there are any other Fast Chargers/Quick Chargers that are compatible and better than the one I linked please do let me know.
Thanks for your all your time! :highfive:

I've been using a Motorolla turbo charger from mobilefun for at least 6 months that has the 3 voltage levels on my Note 4 with no ill effect. The phone will only request the voltage it wants from the charger when it wants. I also use the turbo charger on an ipad and battery pack with no problems.
I'm going to be picking up the s7e in the next week and was wondering if anyone can recommend wireless chargers they currently use or have used in the past. All other Qi chargers are so much cheaper than the Samsung branded counterparts.
Also is there a big enough difference between the wireless fast charger from Samsung and any other Qi wireless charger that makes it worth buying?
Currently looking at the following:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Well th normal Samsung charger is free in the Samsung Pay promo (I don't think it applies to the UK), but it will charge slowly compared to a fast wireless one. I will have mine soon to test out I reviewed the Choetech 10W fast wireless charger below and graphed the charging speed compared to the stock quick charger. Samsungs fast wireless charger is only 10W from all accounts not 15W the phone supports. 10W wireless charging is still fast (see my link below), but any qi charger will work. I wouldn't bother with 1st party ones unless you get a good deal on one since wireless chargers from 3rd parties are just as good or sometimes better.

Yes it does, if you want to see how fast it charges with QC 2.0, Standard wall charger, fast qi, and regular qi you can read my charging test here.
Will this charger from Huawei fast charge my Note 9? It is the only legit one i can buy locally.

Great question.
With my experience with Samsung and Fast Charging, it appears to work under two conditions in my vehicles:
If use my official Samsung Car charger and cables in conjunction with my device, it works well:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Genuine-Sa...553361843&sr=1-5&keywords=samsung+car+charger
But if I use third party cables and a third-party charger that supports to USB C to USB C, it works just as efficiently.
Here's what I'm using currently:
https://www.amazon.com/Blackweb-Cha...&qid=1553362594&s=electronics&sr=1-1-fkmrnull
Obviously this brand is not available in the UK but here is something similar:

I think i can find the samsung car charger here but i was interested in getting the huawei so i don't have to buy another one in the future if i change my phone. I would like to know if it works with it before i buy it since it is 15 euros here.
I can only theorize based on the amperes and voltage. It gets difficult afterwards and I'll explain.
Samsung's 'Adaptive Fast Charging' provides, under optimal conditions, 1.7A to equate roughly 15.3 watts.
Huawei AP38's 'SuperCharge' provides, under optimal conditions, 5A at 4.5V to equate roughly 22.5 watts.
So, based on the numbers alone, we're left to theorize that the AP38 'should' be the best solution.
So will the 'Huawei AP38' provide your Note 9 with the same charge that a 'SuperCharge' enabled device enjoys, likely not.
Will it charge faster? Absolutely. Will that charge be equivalent to a Samsung-branded one? No.
A series of competing charging standards exist ('Adaptive Fast Charging'/'SuperCharge'/'VOOC'/'QuickCharge') and they all use different technologies to deliver MORE voltage IF the charger and device are certified to work together.
So, at day's end, use high quality cables alongside your Huawei AP38 and you'll enjoy faster charge speeds.
Just NOT as fast as advertised.

Hi guys,
I've noticed Samsung S21 ultra supports 15w wireless charging - I was just wondering if all 15w wireless chargers were compatible? Or whether they specifically have to support "Samsung fast charge 2.0" - like the official chargers?
Wondering what others have bought? Let me know! Thanks!
I've been doing some research, I know that Samsung devices are supported by QC 3.0... but just wondered if this is true for wireless charging? Will generic 15w wireless chargers work? Would be much cheaper!
While generic 15w chargers will work, there are other factors that needs to be considered. Such as what kind of brick you are using with the charger and things like how thick the case you are using.
Sammy only have one 15w charger and that is OG stand. The other sammy fast wireless charger is 9w (input still requires 15w though)
Can't comment whether which 15w is reliable or not as they are 3rd party and varies from company to company.
A fair point. I guess if you use a QC 3.0 brick with at least 15w output - with a 15w wireless charging pad it should theoretically work then?
Be interesting to see which ones people find works for them!

Probably works but wireless charging is inefficient and needlessly raises the battery temp which is detrimental to its longevity in the long run.

An 8 W Samsung wireless charger does not heat up the S21 ultra more than the 15 W charger I have (this cames with my Note 9). I would think a 25 Watt charger would heat it up more. The reason I bought the wireless charger was for my Note 9 and now the S21 ultra is that my Note 9, despite considerable babying, is showing some issues with the socket (it often will show cable charging instead of fast charging and despite changing cables, cleaning out the socket with compressed air and a toothbrush etc). So yes, in general you are correct but socket wear must not be discounted.

I hear what you're saying about the port. I do a lot of partial midrange charges so 3-4 times a day isn't uncommon.
The biggest thing is not to hit/drop it when a cable is connected.
Battery or port assembly the phone needs to come apart...
I have a couple of these wireless chargers. Mine are an older version that don't have a USB plug at the charging pad (mine has a non-removable wire from the pad). I can't seem to find specs on their site now, but when I bought mine they claimed they were 15w. I only bought them for how they look. I personally don't care how fast they charge, I prefer slow charging for better battey life, I'll use wired chaging when I need something faster. I have fast wireless charging disabled on my phone. But I just checked it, if I enable it, it does say "fast wieless charging" on the sceen when I place it on the pad, and the time to full charge is a little quicker than with fast wireless charging disabled. Still not as fast as wired though.

So the best way to check this is to download Ampere!
Grab it from Google play store, install it, and then open it while you are charging the phone on different wireless pads.
You work out the Watts by using;
Amps x Voltage
Let me know how it goes!
