Hi all,
Did anyone buy a wireless quick charger? I'm considering buying the N9 and I would like to order a charger right away.
Thanks
Mjh
I already had one from Belkin it works fine even with a case. But I think N9 only support 5w . To me not a problem as I use it overnight.
I bought a standard Anker 5W stand as I'm not a big fan of quick charging. It stays cold and still pretty quick, only a few hours are needed.
I got the Anker Qi-Certified PowerPort Wireless 5 Stand charger and it works fine. No quick charge, but I'm using it at the office so I don't mind waiting a bit longer to charge. It works with a phone case as well.
Works fine
I have tried on both a Samsung Qi charger and a super cheap charger with annoying pulsating blue lights (what were they thinking). Worked fine both times even through my moderately thick case.
Thanks y'all! I ordered a Toward Slim Qi Wireless Charging Pad
I got the Xiaomi Mi Wireless Charging Pad and working well. Solid grip, nice and blue as my Nokia 9 PV.
Is Nokia 9 only capable of 5w charging? I assume it is safe to use a higher capacity wireless charger?
yes, there is no problem... but still will charge with 5w

Bottom line, the TL;DR version, I really like this charger. Of the three I now own, it's now definitely my favorite. It's large enough to make aligning your device simple and effortless (this is the only wireless charger I have where I don't feel like I need to double check to make sure that my Nexus 7 is sitting on it correctly) and small enough to not take up much space on a surface or in a bag or pocket. With the light around the edge of the charger, it's easy to see whether or not your phone is actually charging, whereas on other chargers, the indicator light is usually obscured by whatever device is sitting on top of it charging.
And don't worry about the light being a nuisance in a dark rook — one of the attached photos (the one where you can't see anything but the charging LED of my phone) was taken of the the charger charging a phone with the camera pointed directly at the light. As you can see, it won't bother you at night. One more thing, the light doesn't go around the entire circle of the charger. It only lights up about a third of it.
If you're looking for the type of charger that you can just set your phone on that isn't a dock, I'd consider this one.
Now on to the rest of my review...
When I was offered a chance to try this wireless charger, I had very low expectations. I currently own two other wireless chargers. One is actually another CHOETECH brand charger which I've been very content with (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JA7HNZO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00) and the other is the PowerBot "puck" wireless charger which I am not very fond of at all (http://www.amazon.com/PowerBot®-PB1...373&sr=8-2&keywords=powerbot+wireless+charger). My initial expectations were based on the latter since it is a similar shape (round) to this circle CHOETECH charger.
My biggest complaint with the PowerBot charger was that the size and shape of it just made it less ideal for charging a large phone or tablet. Basically, attempting to tap your screen while it was charging meant making your phone wobble everywhere and, since the charger is so small in comparison, it's impossible to see the indicator light so that you know the phone or tablet is on the right spot and charging. I figured these issues would just be inherent with round chargers, but that was not the case with this CHOE circle charger. It turns out I really like this charger, but I wish I could have got the black model instead.
The ring around the edge of the charger is rubbery to provide grip. For my leather back G4, that did nothing since the phone doesn't lay flat, however my Nexus 7 is held firmly in place so I don't have to worry about it sliding around. It comes with a decent sized USB cable (off the top of my head,I think it's two or three feet). The indicator light is well lit in light, more than enough to let you know it's working, and then it's basically not there in the dark.
There's really not much more to say. It's a great charger and I think $20 for it isn't bad at all.
5/5 if I had to rate it.
All photos taken with my G4. Models pictured are my G3 and Nexus 7.
Thanks and good to see your review here. May I know where did you get your cover case for your G4?
I was checking the wireless charging cover case and the charging pad.

I would like to anwser you, this wireless charger works great.
I'm useing anther item more than two years.
I had this circle Qi charger for my girlfriend. Mini size is perfect for girls.
Wireless charging would be so cool and convenient. I have three all over the house and hardly ever use my wired charger now. I also have this Choetech circle qi wireless charger that supports fast charging for my Note 5. But it would be great if it was a dock instead a pad.

Looking so cool!
I feel like I need to review this as well, because I have so many wireless charging pad and I had to compare them with this. and it was an amazing experience.
Now, my co-worker is rocking with her S6 with the thick case, my generic charging pad couldn't even detect the phone to charge where as this Choetech had no problem charging through the thick case.
the case is about 5mm thick on the bottom, thats about 0.2 inches, still charges, nice!
also charges my moto 360 without any problems, guess what though! it charges my moto 360 upside down too!! that was amazing. so Choetech must have considered phones with thick cases that are having hard time wireless charging. I'll definitely put this company in my shopping list for my future mobile devices accessories from now on. they have earned my business.
it outputs to about 5w when charging, so it will take about 3 hour'ish to top off your phones, and about 45 minutes for your smart watches.
please see photos below.
Picked up this charger based on this thread and really like it so far. I was worried about the brightness of the light ring for when I sleep but it is extremely dim, to the point that it doesn't add any light to the room.
I'm using the stock charger with it and have pulled the wireless&nfc sticker from an ankway circle case (I officially must hate circle cases) and installed that to my original plastic back cover. I also have the cruiserlite bugdroid case on the phone and it still works great. I took a 3.5 hour nap and the phone was 100% charged from 22% when I woke up. I'm sure it hit 100% before I woke up.
I just received my review unit of the Cheotech Fast Wireless Charger. This charger costs 34 dollars on amazon. It supports auto-dimming so you don't have to worry about a glowing puck at night.
Just wanted to update this post with a $8 off code. Here is the code number: FOX9T3SJ Enjoy!
MOD Edit: Referral links removed
good review , and no angry pitch
I got the white version of this CHOETECH Fast Wireless Charger at Amazon. I use it with the new Samsung Galaxy Note 5 & the fast charging is working great. This can be purchased with the pad on it's own or bundled with a fast charging wall adapter.

I have no worry charging it with my case. But I heard that too thick a case may block the wireless charging.
I am looking forward to getting mine here and testing it out compared to some other chargers.

I have bought this Choetech Fast Wireless Charger yesterday. I am happy with its fast charging and LED Light Charging Status indicator.
Can the lights be shut off completely? I'd like to have one of these on my night stand but wouldn't want any light.
I received my charger from Choetech today and left my review on amazon, I have copied it here as well for the folks at XDA.
Feel free to ask any questions, I will try to answer them as best I can.
First, this is an amazing charger. Choetech always makes good products.
I received this in 2 days and set about testing it.
I was going to make a video showing off this thing fast charging on a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 but I see that there are already 2 excellent videos up showing that. So instead I will show you the things they did not highlight as much.
OK, the quick charge 2.0 wall plug you can get with this is the best one I have ever tried. Just like the other Qualcomm certified chargers, you will get the self adjusting voltages (12v-9v-5v) to give you a super fast charge. The extra you get with this Choetech quick charge 2.0 adapter is the USB port on it is reversible! This is the first charger I have seen with this and I now think everything should have this.
Ok now to the real reason you are reading this. The charging puck itself is a nice clean looking puck.
It is defiantly thicker than the cheapo ones you get for a few dollars. It has some heft to it making it feel more premium.
It has rubber top and bottom to keep both the charger from slipping on your desk or the phone from slipping on top the charger.
It will most defiantly charge your Note 5 or other Samsung devices quickly.
It will also charge your older devices as well. I tested it on a few LG phones in addition to the Note 5.
I noticed no abnormal warmth from the charger or any of the phones I tested this with. This is a very welcome thing as most of my other qi chargers do have heat issues.
One final thing, I tested this charger on my moto 360 and it charged it flawlessly. Most qi chargers fail here and will overheat this watch, this one did not and it charged my moto 360 from 19% to full in about 35 minutes. that is about 15 minutes faster than the stock charger does.
I have attached some pictures and may upload a video in a day or 2 after I have some more time to test this gem out.
I received this product in exchange for an honest review, this does not affect my opinion of this product.
My Review
Hey guys and gals, I received my CHOETECH Fast Wireless Charger a few days ago and wanted to add my review to this thread.
It starts off with nice packaging with color graphics on the front and information about the charger on the back. Once you open the package up, the fast wireless charging puck and included USB cable are both neatly and safely inside. The fast wireless charging puck has a piece of protective plastic on it which you will need to remove before charging.
The wireless charging puck itself is very nice. It's small and compact, has a nice gloss finish to it and has a rubber ring around it so your phone won't slide off of it while charging. The bottom also has a rubber ring around it so the puck won't slide around on whatever surface you put it on. I know this is pretty standard fare at this stage in the game, but very nice touches for a very fairly priced fast wireless charger.
How about performance? This is the most important aspect, right? To put it bluntly, it's fantastic. Compared to the Samsung branded counterpart of this, it performs admirably to say the least. And at basically half the price. I have consistently been getting about 8% charge every 10 minutes. Very respectable and performs up to spec as far as I can tell. If my math is correct, you are looking at about a little over 2 hours to charge from 0-100%.
I've also noticed that the charger has a fairly large sweet spot. You don't have to be perfect with putting your phone on there, it will charge off center. Another nice feature is the auto dimming. In bright light, the charger has green lights that glow while you are charging. The lights turn blue when you are fully charged. In low light, the lights get much dimmer. In the dark, the lights turn off completely. This is an awesome feature for people who are sensitive to lights while trying to sleep.
Overall, I highly recommend this charger. It charges fast (as advertised) and is sold at a great price. It is also well built and the auto dimming feature is very welcomed and a great addition that I didn't expect at this price point.
Yes, charge light was shut off completely.

The light goes off automatically in the dark. Perfect one for bedside use.
Got mine today in black. Very sleek and surprisingly dense. Short video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wMc2FBoOuY
Fast charging wirelessly is super convenient, can't say enough good things about. I know the OEM samsung fast charger has vents on the bottom because of heating. Wondering how well this will dissipate heat in the long run.
I charge over night. I would assume this would stop charging once full right? So its safe to leave it on the pad till morning... I normally unplug in the morning
How is it with placement? I can't ever seem to get phone to charge and stay charging even on 3 coil chargers
Seems to connect easily as long as you place it near the center. In the video I posted I remove and connect a few times,each time it registered fine without having to adjust placements.
Hi All,
I also just received the Choetech Quick Charger and absolutely love it! My initial impression is that the build quality is superb. It has some heft to it and seems to be built to last. The top and bottom have rubber grip zones to prevent the charger and phone from sliding around on my desk. I also like how the LED shuts off when the room is dark (great for sleeping) as I always hate bright lights at night.
As other reviewers have mentioned, it can charge the phone from 0-100% in about 2 hours which is about an hour faster then the normal wireless chargers. There's no way I would recommend buying the Samsung quick charge variant over this version as it is half the cost with the same functionality.
I haven't had any issues with the charger detecting my phone using the Spigen Liquid Crystal case and would assume that any slim fit case would be just fine.
Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the product and would recommend it! Please reach out to me if you have questions. I'll do my best to answer them in a timely manor.

I charged mine overnight and woke up to a full charge. The phone wasn't hot (and neither was the wireless charger) so I'd say that it is safe to use overnight.
I received mine today and I can actually charge my Note 5 with the flap opened and pinned back on my folio case. Here's the case I have for reference: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010MWJG0U?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
When the phone is 100% charged does the charger receive the charging complete signal from the Note 5 and cut the power output from the Choetech charger? Or is the charger at 10W all the time?
I have a speck candyshell case with leather wireless charging back. The triangle yootech charger wont connect through my speck case let alone any of my cases. Does anyone have any suggestions on wireless charger for use with speck case?
have no experience with your gear but
my tricoil charger connects well when using thick case
maybe you can sand on top of the pad to reduce thickness ?

If you are wanting to charge through a case, I would recommend looking into a 3 coil charger. A little more expensive, but makes wireless charging a lot better through cases and not as finicky about phone placement.
This is the one I have been using since June and they work great!

Easy mounting and it works verry well (I chose the variant with the bamboo charger)
Someone have this charger? Brand is perfect, but price is low.

And happy new year
My favorite charger with my G4 has been the Nokia DT-900, which has three coils.
---------- Post added at 01:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------
Another option, which I use, is to use a good quality bumper case, which protects the sides and corners, as well as the screen to some extent, while leaving the back open. Not only works great for charging, but I get to still feel the leather.
I picked up the Vinsic® Portable Wireless Charger Pad ( http://amzn.com/B01A52UAZW ) and I'm NOT HAPPY with it at all. Once the battery gets to 100% it stops charging and thne slowly depletes (or quickly on nights TI-Backup runs) until my G4 is removed and replaced onto the charger. Waking up to a nearly dead battery is NOT a good way to start the day
@woozzy101 , @hannsheinz , @BrunoSlivar , @harpdoc :
Do other wireless chargers stop charging at 100% until removed & replaced, or is this one just a piece of crap?

The Charger I recommended keeps the phone at 100%
But I also noticed they now make a fast wireless charger of the version I have! I already have a lot of normal wireless chargers all throughout the house and office, but if I was to buy a new one, I would start getting the fast wireless chargers to future proof.

I'm afraid that you've either got a bad charger or a phone problem. Both of my Qi chargers keep the phone at 100%. I keep my G4 on my Nokia charger at work all day long and it's always fully charged.

Meanwhile I have two charger, one for home and the other for office. At home I use an charger from Anker
(http://www.amazon.de/Anker-PowerPor...ie=UTF8&qid=1455824017&sr=8-19&keywords=anker). When I put my G4 in the morning from the charger it's alway at 100% and it charge the whole night.
The other one in the office I use always only for max. one hour so I dont have any knownledge was happend when the battery is full.
The Anker charger can I recommend without reservation.
I want to ask a question if anyone knows. I bought a cheap qi sticker from ebay but it doesn't work. I tested the nfc and it works. Is that possible? Could it be that the wireless pad has a problem? Also can the qi sticker cause a drain? I haven't noticed anything after a month but it would be nice to know. Thanks in advance.
Ordered the S7 Edge and eagerly waiting for it to arrive... My wife has a S6 and we realized with some disappointment that she has to remove her case every time she wants to charge wirelessly.
I have scoured the case reviews here and on Amazon, but no one mentions whether their case would support wireless charging.
Are there cases for the S7E that allows wireless charging without removing the case?
It really isn't about the compatibility of the case itself. It comes down to whether or not your wireless charging mat will allow charging from that amount of a distance away. Some of the cheaper ones have to be almost directly touching the mat, but there are ones that will allow charging through up to twice the thickness of the thickest cases. Also, be sure you're purchasing the high watt quick charge 3.0 compatible Qi chargers as any Qi charger will work, but the low watt ones will charge much more slowly. I hope this helps.
All of the cases reviewed in my OP work with wireless fast charging. There's a link to it in my signature
Thanks! I guess the charger I got for my wife is a cheap one that cannot charge through a case. I will look at the charger recommendations thread now.
I have the official Samsung clear cover case, and it works fine with wireless charging. no problem at all.
I have the Samsung fast charge wireless charger (got it on amazon for 35. Can be had for 25 "like new used") and it will fast charge my S7 with a Spigen Lite armor case no problem. it's a TPU/PC combo case so its not very thin.
Hi community!
I´m thinking about buying that QI induction addon that´s plugged into the usb c port.
My new car offers the feature.......
Has anyone made some eperience with it?
Is it worth?
Are there better or worse ones?
Make sure you buy one with a short enough cord that the coil does not obstruct the camera sensor. Obviously, you wouldn't be able to DASH charge with a Qi pad. Through personal experience, I have found that third-party Qi add-ons tend to be slower than charging with a USB cable on a 10W charger. These pads are thin, but not this enough to be negligible. If you have a tight-fitting case, it may cause a bulge in the back.
Don't do it. That's my recommendation. Especially if you can't plug the phone in anymore. You will leave it charging wirelessly for an hour to see like a 5% charge happen. It's the slowest for of charging like plugging it into your computer.
Slow, heats up the phone, the cable for the piggyback qi module breaks after twenty removals.
QI
I have this on my OP2, and i think it works very good. It is a bit hassle if you plug your phone into a computer alot, but i usually dont. I also have a Qi charger at work, so i can charge it during the day, witch leaves me with around 80 % when i go to sleep.
