Took delivery of the official Qi Charger today, can confirm that it works with the Asus Premium cover (just).

One thing worth noting, the wireless charger appears to be very fussy about the cable and wall charger used to power it.
Works absolutely fine with the supplied cable/charger but doesn't seem to like most other combinations.

Thanks for the info, if you have a tpu case to hand, could let us know if it charges through the case?
Cheers

Just to let people know, you can also use a Nokia charging pad. It takes about 30 minutes longer to charger a full charge. It works with it in my poetic case and it's not that sensitive to where it is placed on it.
Have just tried the charger with a Tecknet TPU case fitted, it works but as with official case the magnetic effect is reduced making it slightly harder to hit the sweet spot.

I just ordered my TB, I want to know what accessories I should buy to make it the best phone on the market.
charger...
other than that...i dont use anything they gave me. not the car charger, car mount, screen protectors, and now not even the double case..
i recommend a tpu material case (jelly-like yet somewhat hard plastic material, NOT silicone which attracts lint and sticks to things) for $10 or less from amazon/ebay and a cheap screen protector from the same sources.

HTC Extended Battery
If anyone hunting around ebay sees the good stuff if you could throw up some links? I just bought 3 1500mAh batteries for 12.00 including shipping, so even if they dont work Ill have some nice paperweights. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200593732607&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Has anyone got anything from that company or have any dealing with close batteries
secondary charger, screen protector
Car charger.. the key is to charge it everywhere until they can optimize battery life

My car chargers always brake, What do you use?
How do u break ur charger? I'm more curious about that lol
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
No, Idea after I got my eris I bought the official verizon and like 2 weeks later it just stopped charging, since then I only buy the super cheap ones and I can't really blame them on braking

Agreed 100%. They should've sold it with the extended battery already on it for $299.99 in my opinion, but I'm sure that would have made some people think twice about buying it to begin with.
I always break my car chargers too, so I bought a little car usb charger and plug into that, havent had a problem since and I can charge anything now.

Yeah I have a little USB car charger that lets me use my own USB cable. Great since I can swap between my Micro-B cable (for the TB) and another cable such as say the Zune cable.

Hi,
I currently have the euro charger with us adapter and its annoying how janky the thing is.
What are you fellow us owners using for wall chargers?
I'm thinking the Samsung galaxy note charger might be good. Its under rated at 5v .7A so it should work right just charge slower ...
Thanks

Just in case you're really cheap like me, an easy way to get the charger and adapter to "stick" together is to take some small strips of paper, fold them over and over again until they're about as wide and thick as a popsicle stick, and stick one in each side of the adapter socket. Then cram the charger into the adapter, and it'll fit like a glove. Before I did that, my charger would fall out of the adapter at least three times a day. If you'd like some pictures to see what I'm talking about, just let me know.

I've got the wireless charging battery cover from Verizon on my phone. It makes the phone a bit thicker. I was wondering if there were any cases out there that can accommodate the extra size. I currently use a Cruzerlite case that I cut a little bit to allow expansion but I'd like something a bit cleaner.
TIA for any input!

You can get wireless charging inlays that fit inside the original battery lid and as such don't increase the thickness of the device
Interesting, never heard of that. Do you have a link?

They're practically impossible to miss, just search ebay or any number of other places for "s3 qi inlay"
Has anyone experienced any issues with the inlays? I just got a wireless qi charger and the Verizon rear case for the phone and have just been putting up with the added thickness. I wouldn't mind considering the inlays though.

They make it a bit thicker and bow the back out very slightly.
To those who currently have a qi wireless charger. Few questions as I'm about to get one.. Does the charging pad get warm? Is it ok to keep plugged in or could it be a possible fire hazard? Stupid question, I know, but I have a hard time trusting cheap stuff from china, lol. Does wireless charging charge as fast as USB? Thanks!

Occasionally. Yes it's fine. And it depends on the pad and the receiver on your phone. Mine is 650mA so it's slightly faster than USB

I wouldn't skimp on the stuff tho. I spent like $50 for my charging pad. Its got two spots and it's made by Energizer.

the pad can get warm but it's fine.
it's not going to blow up or anything.
you can also keep an eye out for the dt500 charging pad that nokia has for the lunia series. they go on sale often for $25.

1. Slightly warm when in use.
2. Yes, it's fine to leave it plugged in. My one at my office desk sits on top of a pile of papers and hasn't set anything on fire yet.
I personally own this receiver (which I use with this pad, though my pads are black rather than white), which works well though my lifeproof case. No dice with the Otterbox Armour case though.
I'd recommend avoiding this charger. It doesn't work worth a damn through a case and constantly connects/disconnects.
I have the same receiver inlay as compo01, using it with a variety of pads, including an official Samsung S4 one that I modded into an ugly but functionally awesome dock

my phone gets warm during the initial charging but once it hits 100% it cools down real fast. I can think of only one other thing in this case.. you might not be aligned correctly.. but i would not think that's the case since you seem to be able to get to 100% with no problem...
I have the Verizon and the monster watts WiQiQi kit. I mainly use the Verizon back cover even though it means I can't put a case on. The WiQiQi is a nice kit but when I use it with my preferred case, one with a stand , The screen distorts and bulges. But I put the WiQiQi in my fathers phone with an otterbox and he has no issues.
First I thought to buy the Google one, but it just to small, and I need 2, for nexus 5 & 7, then I thought, why not to kill 2 rabbits, with 1 bullet, and buy a dual charger, the ZENS looks good, and big, so tablet not look out of place, any other recommendations?
Heard lost of good things about this one, the only con, is devices with slick backs can slip off, easy fixed with a wedge.

...I know, sold out, it's sold out on newegg too, but to me that says something about if it's good or not.

Hello,
Does anyone know if any of the wireless chargers (specifically the official one) work with the following case:
AEGIS CASE FOR GOOGLE NEXUS 7 II
I want to buy a nexus 7 for my kid but he always manages to scrap the charger connections (he plays on it with he charger plugged in). So a rubber case and a wireless charger would be perfect..
Thanks.
