So my friend gave me his old Powermat, (pre duracell) with the two charging stations. Tried for about 10 minutes to get it to charge, but no luck. The charger claims it is Qi standard. My nexus charges great with the official charger and with a knockoff as well.
Any ideas/experiences?

This one.
Don't see in the link where it's qi compatible

Those aren't Duracell, Powermat is the name of the company. Their products aren't Qi compatible, you need a receiver to use it. That's why they're going so cheap on ebay.
Powermat uses different technology, so it is never compatible with Qi.
What the others have said, powermat isn't qi compatible. That's why it doesn't work.

Im looking for a dock/charger that will charge my phone plus a spare battery including thicker extended batteries like my hyperion 4200.It would also be awesome if I could charge my phone with a case on it. I dont want a charger that will charge any slower than the stock charger. Can anyone recommend a dock ?
Griffin 2A chargers!

Thats a dock? where can i find it?
Unless you also root and install a kernel with a "fast charge" option, a 2amp charger will do you no good; it will charge just as fast as the stock 1amp charger.
I bought a 4 port charger by Skiva. It's a little expensive but it works really well. It's a 4A charger.

There was an article a while back by android central that the blackberry playbook charger will charge an android phone faster than the stock android charger. But it's not a dual charger.

Anyone else?
Hi Experts,
I got the Samsung Galaxy S3 from Verizon. I want to buy a Wireless Charging Kit for my Phone.
I did my research on the Internet, Ebay, Amazon.
All I saw was, the wireless charger, from Palm is about 5-7 Dollars and priced economically.
But I don't know how effectively will it work?
Also, what is the best alternative case that is out there in the market if I'm using this, wireless charger?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks & Peace.
The palm charger won't work at all. You need to find a qi compatible charger.
The Palm setup WILL work, with some modifications to the receiver that goes under your battery cover. I know because I'm using it on mine and my gf's s3's. I'm in the process of building the touchstone into a custom tray in my car. Just read through the accessory forum for the s3. There are a couple of diys on using the Palm wireless charging stuff. You can even buy a battery for on eBay that a guy does the mod on for you so all you need is to buy the battery door from him and a Palm touchstone and you're in business. Do more looking, the answers are out there

it won't work for the OP because he's using qi standard while what you're doing is using touchstone standards.
to answer the op's question, no the touchstone charger will not work with the verizon wireless charging back.

As I understood his original post, he hasn't bought the Verizon charging cover yet in which case he could use the touchstone setup for a lot less money.

oops. misread on my part.
Then it's as alex said.
there are several guides in this forum that gives you a step by step to do the touchstone mod. but one thing to note is that depending on parts, it can block NFC.
I personally have the Qi kit (search ebay for i9300 qi wireless) and i am able to retain all the functions of my phone. (if you're going qi, then check out my post in the stickied thread about some questions that were asked and also some examples of brands and products out there)

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.

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.
I have a Zens it works great and has an usb output so you can charge 2 wireless and 1 wired all at the same time

Anyone know how the Qi charger knows its connected to the official wall adapter? Tried plugging it to my car charger and my Galaxy Note charger but wont start charging either way.
I wondered the same, mine will also only work with the supplied charger. Perhaps it's the amp output. Will be getting the new Asus QI charger delivered soon, will let you know if that is as fussy.

well, i gave up on it and returned the official qi charger. will look for aftermarket options.
how many amps does your car charger have? My aftermarket Qi only works with 1.2A and up.
