I just bought the inductive charging cover for the Droid 4 and a Nokia DT-900 charging pad. I'm loving the reality of wireless charging so far. No more searching for a charging code that's fallen on the floor when going to bed. The DT-900 is a nice charging pad and appears to charge the phone quickly. I like the fact that the plate doesn't make any noise when I place the phone down on it. My only complaint is that the phone has to be placed fairly low on the pad to properly charge. If I center the phone on the charger, it appears to charge for a few minutes, but then gives me a flashing light to indicate improper charging. This wouldn't be as big of a deal if the error was more immediate. Has any one tried any of the other charging pads out there such as the LG WCP-300 to see if there are better alternatives out there?
I am using a Ghost-100 by Insipio that i bought because my usb port broke and i haven't had time to take it apart and resolder it. It seems to work just fine for me plus it really wasn't that expensive even buying it from Verizon. I have only had it for a few days however so we will see.

I live in Europe (Hungary) and very hard to take any accessories for Droid 4. For example the wireless carging cover is impossible to buying here. Can anybody help me? Thanks!

I live in Hungary, too. It's not impossible, you have to check eBay quite often, as there are very few wireless charging covers are up for sale. Last one was listed about a week ago. The main problem is that it's quite expensive for us with shipping (you won't be able to buy it under 50-60 USD - 10-15000 HUF).
What other accessories you want to buy? Send me a PM, maybe I can point you in the right direction.

I live in Canada, and had small issues finding the charging pad that works as well as the battery cover that works with the charging pad.
I took the recommendations from the Verizon website and bought the Verizon/Motorola wireless charging cover, and the LG wireless charging pad.
I bought both from https://www.fusionelectronix.com/
They are located in the USA, and i called the phone number before I ordered. They answer their phones. and The person I spoke with was extremely friendly and gave me a custom deal on shipping. I had my items within 2 days and everything was perfect.

I recently have been running through USB cables and got tired of not being able to count on a steady charge overnight. So I decided to purchase the inductive charging cover from Verizon's website and a PowerBot PB1020 off of Amazon. It works great and was only around $20.

As I am guessing you've long since replaced your Droid 4, would you be willing to part with the charging cover? I am searching high and low but can't find one for sale.

Has anyone had any issues with wireless charging on the Note 5? I picked up 2 Samsung wireless chargers with the Note and on both chargers the note seems to stop charging after about 15 minutes and never resumes charging unless i pick the phone up and put it back down.
I'm also having this problem. I have a TYLT Vu at work and a CHOE Stadium on my nightstand at home. It charged through the night once on the CHOE Stadium (but took unusually long).
Out of curiosity, what variant are you using?

I'm also on the tmobile variant. Would be interesting to see if other users with the TMo variant are also having wifi charging issues.
Edit: I ordered a replacement Tylt Vu (it was within the 30 days) and this one appears to be charging the device normally. I'll keep fiddling with it and report back with an update.
I have the Verizon version, but my wireless charging works just fine. Have fully charged it 5 times, and partially charged it a few times too.
When i put mine on the wireless charger it wakes the screen every minute or so and pauses charging. then resumes a second later... its retarded
I may take it back to t-mobile or change back to the wired charger at night. The last two mornings I have woke up to a dead phone after being on the wireless charger all night. Just wondering if the problem was just with my device or a wide spread problem.
Do you guys have cases on? If so, does it do it with the case off?

No case on my phone. Looks like it's a problem with my wireless chargers as my replacement Tylt Vu charges the phone normally.
The pad I use at home it too small and I'm most likely not placing the device on it properly.
Damn and I thought I was the only one having this issue. Lol but I noticed it the first day I got my note 5. I bought the samsung wireless charger as well from my local T-Mobile store. Not sure why its doing that, but my gf's Galaxy S6 is charging fine on that same charger. It just doesn't like the note 5 for some reason. I've had it stop charging after about 10 to 15 mins and I heard a noise that sounded like my phone got disconnected from the charger, then I get a blue light blinking on the dock. I also have seen it stop charging then start charging again without touching my phone lol, Its very weird.
I didn't have a case on my phone, I returned the charging dock and I will just find a different one later.
No case here.
Maybe there is an issue with the new wireless fast charge?
Thought it may be drawing to much current from the charging pads causing them to shut off. Does any one have this issue with one of the newer Samsung fast charge pads.
Seems like the current slowly ramps up, have seen it as high as 800maA. I don't have much experience with the wireless chargers and a little unsure what their normal outputs is.
I had this issue, I found it worked better by either having never sleep or daydream turned on when charging. I'm thinking it might be related to screen time out? Let me know if this helps
Apparently the wireless charger with the Best Buy deal was excess Galaxy S6 stock and they don't work too well with the Note 5. The new fast charge one from Samsung is supposed to be the one intended for the Note 5.

My AT&T note does the same thing. I have two Nokia chargers that work great with my GS5. Just got it (the note) today and am still setting it up.
Has anyone tried using the cable and ac adaptor that came with the Note 5 on the wireless charger and see if that make a difference?

I have the Choetech Stadium charger and a Yootech charger (the triangular one). The Choetech works great, but the Yootech constantly disconnects. My phone is in an Otterbox Commuter, but taking it off made no difference. I'm using the Verizon variant.
Edit: I use both wireless chargers with the adapter that came with the phone.

I have the 3 loop nokia chargers and find they work better sideways.
This makes you center your phone on it but it doesn't sit there cycling, which is a very bad thing. My GF ruined a g III battery by doing that overnight for 2 weeks.
Its a bummer the galaxy 5 doesn't seem to work as good as the oem abb on backs for the note 3 I had.

I tried using the Note 5 charger last night and had the same issue.
I created a thread on the AT&T Q&A section with the following and then i stumbled across this thread.
"Ok, so im using the Spigen Neo Hybrid case, and when i use wireless charging, it may work 30 seconds, or 10 minutes, but it always stops. What happens is i place it on the charger and it indicates its charging. Then, within a short time period, the light on the charger starts flashing to indicate charging isnt working properly, and the screen comes on and says wireless charging paused.
I have 3 different Samsung chargers, a Nokia charger and several Powerbot chargers. One of the Samsung chargers is the newest (not fast) chargers. I take the case off and it seems to be fine. Anyone familiar with this case knows its not thick by any means. Also, i have 2 GS6s in the house both using Neo Hybrids and they charge just fine. Ive adjusted positioning dozens of times but i know from experience that most devices dont require an EXACT placement.
I went to Best Buy, where i purchased it, and this is where it gets odd. They placed it on their display charger in the Samsung section and it charged for 10 minutes no problem before they told me they couldnt duplicate the issue so they wont replace it. I brought it home and the damn thing charged to full charge no issue. The next day when i placed it back on the charging pad, it starts cutting out again.
All my chargers have been tried over USB, and yes, with multiple wall plugs. My first thought was not enough power over USB but clearly thats not the case. "
All that said, i last night after posting, i tried my sons Choetech charger, its the stand style thats listed in the accessories thread, and it charged perfectly the whole night. It seems to me this might be an issue with the reciever in the actual phone. My sons S6E charges just fine on the samsung charger and he has a spigen case on his phone so this leads me to believe its not a fault of the charger.

I'm starting to think it may be coil alignment. Perhaps if we knew exactly where on the back of the Note 5 the Qi coils were, we could align them properly on the charging device.
I decided to make a thread on this as I keep seeing people reporting problems with the Samsung branded wireless charger in use with their Note 5 or Galaxy 6+ Edge. I am trying to get an idea of how prevalent this is.
What happens is this, I put the phone on the charger and it lights up showing it is placed appropriately and it charges. It then charges for a time period, and will suddenly stop and the LED blinks blue. This can happen after 1 minute to an hour or so into the charge, to not at all. Often, unplugging the charger and plugging it back in seems to reset it and it works again. Very bizzare. I returned the first charger like this and got a second one, but it does the same thing.
I am wondering if Sammy did this on purpose to get us to buy the rapid wireless charger when it comes out....
Also, I know it is not my Note 5, as my other wireless charger works fine.
Please post your experience with this charger.

This is a built in protection mechanism. They blink blue to say they are nearing the end of a charge cycle. Once complete, green. Then it wont charge again till the phone calls for it. This is only going to happen with that charger and these phones as they are programmed to work with one another like that.

But then why does it stop charging around different percentages? Like sometimes it is at say 50%, another time at 70%. This morning I woke up and it was at 74%, blinking blue, not charging, after sitting on it all night....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk
Mine does this as well. I thought it was the vibrations during notifications that was moving it off the "sweet spot" causing the charge to stop.

It is seeming more like a manufacturing defect in the charger. I had one that did the misalignment blinking blue and sent it back. Bought another at my office and its fine. Got the replacement one and its also fine. My first was a pre-order when the S6 edge came out. Maybe the coil or firmware were messed up. Just exchange it and see.
Yeah, I have exchanged it once already, and it still persisted. Reading reviews on Amazon it seems others were complaining of the same issue with the Note 5 or Galaxy Edge 6+, which is why I am wondering if it is something else going on.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk
My S6 did not do this but my Note 5 is doing it, on the same charger so yeah there is something clashing with the new and old wireless charging tech maybe? I have my same puck I used from the S6 and it would be at 100% when I woke up, my note today was at 98%! Blasphemy!!
I was thinking we needed a thread for this too. I'm not sure what's going on. I googled it the first night and no one was really talking about it for the note5 and edge+, so I saw lots of the thread for the s6 and s6edge. I'm going to try my wife's phone on it, but I keep forgetting.
EDIT: Day Dream, and keep phone awake, neither of them will work on the wireless charger. My screen just turns off like normal Maybe this is a clue?
Adding distance between the phone and the pad, moving the pad into another room onto to floor.... Any other suggestions?
It definitely is not blinking because it's finished anything. it blinks when the phone is under 15%.
The first night, it never worked. i woke up and it was still blinking. The 2nd night, it blinked once, and i took it off, and put it on, and went to sleep. When i woke up, it was fully charged and cool. The third night, I woke up at 5 am and it was blinking (thankfully I put it on the fast charger and get it 100% before having to go to work). I don't know what I did the 2nd night!
PS: I'm testing right now, and will update soon on my wife's s6 status.

If my memory serves me correctly, they said in the unboxed event that it was backwards compatible. Plus, it's a Qi standard, it should HAVE to work to maintain that standard. Plus, That would be messed up! But it is possible....

This is what I am wondering. If Sammy did something here to make only the fast charger work. Of course I have no issues with my Tylt wireless charger though. But I would like the Samsung one to work right if possible. It is just so random. Sometimes it works great and other times not.

Just finished charging, no cutting out on the s6. Weird. But it's not the device, because others report it's not the phone because the phone works on other chargers.

Could be backwards compatible just not with their wireless chargers. I think that's what they did honestly.

Day dream works fine with this charger. You just have to remember to change it to work while charging and not docking. Been using timely with it with no issues. I have had the blinling blue light a few times and also the green light. I think its more of a sweet spot issue than anything.

I did notice that with the day dream last night. After i thought I'd been through all the settings, I'm finding there's still more to discover. If it was as sweet spot issue, why would it start charging? Sometimes it charges for 20 mins, then starts to blink.
Fix for wireless charging issues
So I saw another thread on this somewhere I can't remember. But a guy who claimed to be an engineer said that he figured out that there needs to be some sort of gap between the wireless charger and the Note 5, since I was having the same issue you were I tried it and it worked fine and fast. Apparently it's designed to work better for if the phone is in a case or something I just put some paper in between the wireless charger and the phone and it worked and charged all the way instead of only a couple percent and stopping. Hope that helps!
Just an update, mine worked fine last night fully charged and woke up with it charged.
Yeah, I don't get it. Night before last it fully charged up without a problem. Last night, it was charging fine when I went to bed, when I woke up, it was flashing blue and not nearly fully charged. I mean come on. If I am going to use this, I need it to be reliable. Not sometimes charge and sometimes not. And I do have a thin case on my phone too, so there is a little space there....

I just got my phone on Tuesday and had the wireless charging issues both Tuesday night and last night. I have tested it some more this morning and it still goes to blinking after being on the charger for a while. I am going to try an exchange today and see if anything changes, but my hopes have diminished after seeing many people experiencing the same issue .
Question for all. Whats the model number of you charging pad? I got a Note 5 and a bundled wireless charger and i just realized that they gave me the same charger that they gave me when i got my S6 edge.
Model: EP-PG920I
The Note 5/S6edge + charger is still not officially available from Samsung Store, so is it possible we all got S6 charger, that's isn't fast wireless charging? Takes me 2.5 hours for a full charge when i thought it shouldn't take more than 90 minutes.
Yes, it's been stated many times. The charger best buy or anyone else gives you is not a fast wireless charger and often doesn't work correctly with the note 5.

"doesn't work correctly" ? I used the old wireless charger at an AT&T store and it worked just fine... albeit much slower than the Fast Charge pads I tested in Korea last month.
They intermittently work.

When I talked to Samsung they told me the fast chargers, the round white ones, were specifically made for the note 5 and the S 6 + edge. They told me the round black one, the same one Best Buy gave me when I bought my phone, was incompatible with the note 5.
Here's a link to the thread. Hopefully it helps answer some questions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/wireless-charging-issues-t3185669
I don't have any issues with my S6 wireless charger, except I was expecting getting the Note 5 charger. Also, how could it be incompatible?? It's a standard. That's like saying a microUSB cable is incompatible with Note 5. Doesn't make sense. I don't have any connection problem, it never gives the blinking blue light as some have reported, I actually find it works better with Note 5 than S6 edge. My edge sometimes stopped charging, or just started making the sound like if i just plugged it to power source, until I moved it a little, it could charge OK for 30 minutes than just start freaking out until i moved it.
I thought the same thing...how could the new style charger be incompatible? But that's what the dummy at samsung told me when I called. He seemed very unhelpful and like he didn't care. I'm pretty sure the only requirement to be tech support is the ability to use Google search lol
The older square one best buy exchanged for me works flawlessly. I can't complain tho, it was free with purchase. In the future, I definitely won't be buying any charger that samsung makes. I'll wait for aftermarket fast chargers. At least their tech support staff will care if there's any issues unlike samsung.
Yeah I'm not seeing how there could be an incompatibility. The device is QI certified, and the Samsung charging pads are QI certified. Different specs don't matter, the charging rate will be as fast as both devices can handle. In this case, the older pads only do the original rate, so the phone will only receive 5W instead of 15W that it would receive from the newer "Fast Charge" pads.
If something isn't working, I would bet that it's a problem with the pad hardware, or with the phone hardware.
Am I missing something?

I had nothing but issues with the free wireless charger and exchanged it multiple times with no success. After doing some research, it seems some carriers may be having more issues than others. I am on Verizon and have read that the problem may be a software change made to the phone. I do have a Tylt charger that works just fine. There appears to be something causing issues with the communication between the phone and the specific Samsung charger. I had also read that the interruption in charging may be related to receiving notifications. I no longer have a Samsung charger to do any further testing. I would agree that this should not be an issue since it is a standard, but too may people are experiencing issues for it not to be a real problem.

Thanks for this...voted.
Voted- I have the Sprint Note 5 and it has the problem with the Samsung disc charger from best buy.
I have had problems with my s6 edge+ and the note 5 with the regular samsung puck i got from best buy.
Regular galaxy s6 charges flawlessly on it. If u dont have problems u got lucky.
Maybe it has something to do with the new reciever for fast charging. Pisses me off i get a free charger and cant use it on my new phone that it came with.
Someone mentioned software related issue but i have tested the s6 edge+ powered off without any software running and still had problems.
I use sprint service and have a n920p device. I just used the poll. Maybe that will start pointing us in the right direction.
Sent from my SM-N920P using XDA Free mobile app
I was told by the sammy rep at bb that it doesn't have enough power to charge the note 5. I was told by the advanced tech guy on the phone with samsung that my bb got a bad batch.
It's not a bad batch, and not enough power is no excuse. It doesn't work right when the phone is off. Plus is starts charging fine, it shouldn't suddenly have less power after 5-20 mins. Plus, the key is what someone else said: it's a standard. If it says Qi compatible, it's required to work. Samsung is having problems with revenue, and they desperately need sales. I wonder if they are just trying to cover this up until their marketing campaign is done and they have another flagship to push. This is very un-apple like
The Note 5 wireless charge model is EP-PN920BBEG. On the Note 5 wireless charge, it will have the phrase: Fast charge. If you use S6 Edge wireless charge for your note 5, it still charges normally but not fast. You must use the right type of charger to have fast charge . But there are many store still sale the S6 Edge wireless charge for Note 5 users because of profit or another reason. You should ask them carefully. You can google the model to see the Note 5 wireless Charge look like. Sorry for my bad English
On a side note - the USA Samsung website finally lets you order the fast charge pads. $74.95 after tax.... this is what I get for being too impatient to wait for the Korean model my gf bought for me to arrive.
I got a wireless pad bundled with the note 5 at purchase. So far there's no problem with it. Looking at the model number, I think it's intended for the note 5.
Hey Friends
I am using Pixel 7. I just bought a wireless charger. Everything which has option for wireless charging is getting charged with that wireless charger but my Pixel 7 is not charging wirelessly.
Any solution for that.

I tried on 3 different wireless charger same result, thn had a word with Google customer care and they said it's a on going problem with many devices and their tech team is looking into it.
wireless chargers I tried are from brands spigen, unigen, baseus
My P7 just came in and tested it on my three chargers. ALL WORK flawlessly.
Xiaomi 25W. Jootech 15W and another 5/10W unbranded cheap charger.
Soo...either you have a crap case on your device stopping it from charging, or your pixel is defective.
just to drop you a line:
Yootech + Xiaomi charger support Max Speed of 12W @ Pixel 7.
Actually I saw 13,5W at some time, but mostly it´s like 12,7W.
I'm having the same problem with different pixels since the 13 update.
They kinda fixed something, because it now charges, but sometimes and very slow.
You need the right charger. Industry are total idiots.
Most want you to buy QuickCharge chargers with the qualcom tech inside.
Obviously Google, Samsung and Apple switched/chose PowerDelivery are as "their charging tech".
Buy something like this:
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09QM3NCS4?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
It has both worlds and other than the 33W charger who never exceeded 18W when charged on both ports I didn´t see this one throttle down anything.
Additionally there are differences in the charging stand. I don´t really get it and since there is no information of built in chips or whatever best you can do is take their promises for real. I can confirm this with my own experience. Yootech Stand was pretty slow with the Xiaomi Mi10. Now is the king in the ring with the Pixel 7 by 0,5W.
Try this one:
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09H2S98MK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
It is often recommended with google phones.
But It was in fact minimal slower than the other two I have here, so I´m going to send it back.
12-14W are possible with this thing.
If you want the total wireless power you´ll need the absurd expensive and UGLY Google stand.
Tested my WCS now couple times:
Yootech 13-15W
Xiaomi 12-14W
Funfact: Putting the Pixel upside down on the chargers give 1 extra Watt of charging speed.
Prooves many of the stands are too small for todays smartphones.
This "effect" will differ with phone-size and case used on the phone.

Hey I am from India so tried 4-5 wireless charger available here but none of thm I found working, only one charger I found I shows battery percentage when I keep my phone on it but it doesn't also charge my phone.
But I tried wireless charging other device with my Pixel 7 using battery share option and those able to get charge from my Pixel 7 so this means wireless charging is working fine for my Pixel 7, if I am not wrong.
So I need to get an proper wireless charger, am I correct?
I had a word with customer care for Pixel and they said any Qi enabled charger will work with Pixel 7 but all the wireless charger I tried support Qi enabled devices but thn also no luck.
Any specific charger I need to look for other than Pixel wireless charker it's too costly in India.
Plz suggest
First thing to try is put the naked phone on the wireless charger.
Had several cases where family members were moaning about wireless charing it wasnt the several chargers they tried but their "beloved" phone-case
Charger recommenadion: charger with "𝙂𝙖𝙉 𝙄𝙄𝙄" like the one from pluggify
Stand recommendation: INIU Wireless Charger Stand
/EDIT: I can only repeat....ANY STAND I´ve put my P7 on WORKED flawlessly.
The fastest one is indeed the one in my car by 0,5-1W charging speed.
I tried 5 different ones so far.
I got this one, and it works. Charging slow, but for me it's OK: Anker 10W Max Wireless Charger, 313 Wireless Charger (Pad). I got a slim no name TPU case on my device all the time.
These are said to be working (German Android forums):
SAMSUNG EP-P4300B
INIU Wireless Charger, 15W
MoKo Wireless Charger + + QC Charger
Pixel Stand 2 (of course)
Amazon Brand - Eono C1
Belkin BoostCharge
+1 on Anker qi charger. It maxes out at 11W for me with a case on so it's a little slow I guess, but I keep it bedside and use it at night with an 85% limit set to (theoretically) save battery life - so it works fine for me.

I got a 35W Heymix GaN charger and the Iniu 15W charger stand. Still no luck getting my P7 to charge. I'm beginning to think it is faulty. This is my second one. First one had problems making and receiving calls. I never had these problems with Samsung . . .

Now on my THIRD Pixel 7. What a pile of garbage this phone is. Couldn't get wireless charging working and they replaced it. Now I'm back to not receiving some calls. I never had any problems like this with Samsung . . .

Something is wrong with your device or methods. Are you swapping your Note 3 sim with the Pixel 7 or not registering it correctly with the network? Your frustration is palpable and maybe it's time to just go back to Sammy and cut your losses. Either that or put aside the Note 3 and focus on getting the setup for the P7 working as most of us here have done. The device is not a piece of garbage as you state so start over again with a reset and working sim and ask questions from that standpoint.
Thanks for the advice. I'll keep you posted. I want to like this phone, it just keeps letting me down . . .

Well there have been instances of faulty hardware so perhaps an RMA? Or did you do that already? Oh I just looked and you're on your third device. It would help if we knew more about your setup. Like carrier, wireless charger not working, type of sim (physical or eSim) maybe even country you're in. I would start from scratch and factory reset with a brand new physical sim from the carrier, put the sucker in when prompted and connect to the network. Don't restore anything yet even though it's a pain to reset everything back up. Just make sure it works and perhaps go to a store like Best Buy and test out the Google wireless charger. If you can make and receive calls and texts, get data and charge wireless then go from there. Failing any of those simple things would require another RMA. It's really a nice device so I hope you get it figured out.
