Wireless Charging Device for M7 ?

Wireless charging will become a nice feature of smart phone and if there is a device to support this ?

it is aluminium. So, no.

You will have to wait for a case that adds the support. But imho wireless charging is a stupid gimmick .. in a car it makes sense, but otherwise it's not that big of a deal .. wireless charging isn't that efficient and connecting a cable not that hard

You could always open up that sexy looking One and retro fit a wireless charging system into the phone. You handy with a dremel?

Disagree strongly. When it works well (Lumia 920) it is awesome. I love just setting it down and not having to deal with micro USB when I go to bed/wake up in the dark. It is by no means a "must have" feature, but it is really nice.
However on the Nexus 4 it is easier to deal with the Micro-usb than having to have the phone perfectly on the pad and if it moves at all it stops charging.

You can't lie down and use your phone when it's charging. Otherwise, when you are up, you don't need anything wireless to charge. Are you that lazy to plug a little cable?

It is a hassle to plug in and unplug the phone to microusb in the dark, that is what I am saying. Nothing to do with lazy or using it while plugged in.
Personally I hate microusb, in the dark it is impossible to tell which direction it goes and always feels like it is going to break.
I use my phone as my alarm so I keep a Microusb on my nightstand so I can plug it in when I go to bed (and likewise unplug it when the alarm is going off) and with the Lumia 920 it was nice to not have to deal with it, that is what I am saying.
Like I said it is not a "must have" feature, but it is MOST DEFINITELY far more convenient.
If you can't understand that I feel sorry for you that you feel the need to endlessly defend old technology because YOU don't care about wireless charging. Is it necessary, must have, or vital.. most definitely not. But it IS better and more convenient, for some of us more than others.

I didn't mean to offend you, sorry
I get what you mean, i still find it useless. I accept, other people might find it useful.

I guess some of you don't have inquisitive, destructive cats. Cords have become the bane of my existence. My phone ends up on the ground every morning if I forget to put it in my nightstand drawer. Never used a device that supports wireless charging, but it definitely wouldn't hurt...

yes this is another feature I left out, My cat LOVES the cord, he could care less about the phone. He didn't bother my 920 on the pad once, leave the phone on a cord and I wake up to my phone hanging off my nightstand. :crying:
Of course if he saw the cord going to the pad then I would find my phone on the floor.

Oh yeah, my outlet is like right next to the ground, so playing with the cord means knocking the phone onto the ground. Maybe I should take precautions and move it up to the ceiling.

Nokia Lumia 820 and 920 supports wireless charging and the upcoming S4 also have the function of wireless charging.It is a nice feature, but in fact, it takes extra costs for the wireless charger.

+1. Plugging in and removing the microusb causes wear. While I've never had an issue in the past, there are plenty of stories of failed. I'm hoping that Mophie adopts wireless charging and incorporates it into their battery case.

if any of you guys ever had a palm pre with a touchstone, you would understand why he wants it. wear and tear on the microusb is a big enough deal if you keep a phone for at least 24 months. if you are going to power upgrade constantly then its not worth it

I had the DNA for a time with the wireless charger and I really liked it. When home the cell phone is always just on the desk in the office. Anytime I got a call or text or just wanted to check something out or leave, you just grab the phone and then just set it down when done. I also just use a cloth draw string bag with the phone so when home I could just pull the phone out and set it on the charger without taking it out of the bag. I'd love to install a pad for the car too. I wish the One had it.

Pretty disappointed that this phone didn't have wireless charging built in. I assume the aluminum may have something to do with it, but still.
I've gotten so used to the convenience of wireless charging that using a USB cord for power just seems silly. Its such a convenience that I try and make sure phones I purchase have it built in (starting with the Lumia 920, and now the Droid DNA).
Oh well, maybe on the HTC One 2.

[Q]My charger broke. I think.

I could charge the phone normally yesterday, but now the charger seems to not work. I didn't touch it since the previous charging so nothing physically could've happened to it. I tried another phone's charger (with micro usb) and it works, so I can safely confirm that the charger is the issue.
The charger has been leaking air for quite some time so I suspected it may be an issue, but people here said that it's alright. Maybe it was the issue after all?
Is there any way to fix it, or will I have to buy another charger?

Your best bet is to get a compressor and fill it back up with air. jk. I bought three or four of those cheap chargers on Amazon for a few bucks a piece, they work fine.

But I wasn't joking with the air leaking. When I disconnected the charger from the socket it was always hissing like air is leaking.
Anyway, I guess I'll have to buy a new charger.

That has always been the problem with those compressed chargers lol. I actually just realized what you are talking about, I think. I remember now that I stopped using the official charger that came with the Gnex almost immediately, because whenever it was plugged in it was making a high pitch sound that was sooo annoying. That must be what you are talking about. And if so, and you are not hearing that high pitch sound anymore, it would make sense that its because the charger does not work anymore. Like I say, the cheap ones work good, no need for a $15-20 charger if you can get one for $5.

Does anyone know or have experience with the other wireless charging solutions out there know how fast this charges a device?

Eh, unimpressed. Judging by Google's accessory prices this thing will run around $60.
Here is one on Amazon that looks nearly the same, is only $30, and is available now:

Great qi charger. It works with all my cases, it's not really much slower than usb, and it's makes a very quiet noise when connecting.
It's also only $16. I've been using it for about 2 months, zero problems.

Most cases work just fine unless you have an extra thick one. With my nexus 4 it charges at about 70 to 80% of the regular charger speed.

This is a bad misconception about wireless charging. Yes these were factors with the N4, which was very poor in regards to wireless charging.
The Lumia 920 however charged wirelessly without any additional heat and the pad made no noise or leds. It was a fantastic experience. It is very convenient when your going to bed/waking up in the dark not to have to deal with Micro USB. However when I purchased the N4 I was extremely disappointed with the wireless charging and went back to USB, I am hoping the N5 has improved in this regard. Another reason I WON'T be buying one of the cheap QI chargers.

You can use the lumia charger with the nexus 5. The only reason i would get the nexus pad is because of the magnets. The nexus pad should get the phone aligned perfectly.

I'm looking forward to seeing this made available to buy. As i'm in no immediate rush, it will be going on my christmas list fo sho!

Hey I have the same charger. Can you try this for me.
Get a battery lower than 90%. Turn on Maps and set it to navigate somewhere. Put brightness at half and play music (at any volume). Can you watch your temperatures and see if you end up pushing 45C which implies "overheat" and therefore you won't charge?

Grabbed a generic one from eBay for 12 bucks been using for a month now its real big and does an excellent job.

I don't see why would you be using your phone while wireless charging. using your phone while charging kills the battery R.I.P my AT&T HTC One X, but ill try it once it arrives.

This is the one I'm currently using. Just a generic Qi charger off ebay. Has the same 5V 1A output as pretty much all other Qi chargers.
Works pretty good, no complaints.
I also just saw that it's even cheaper now than when I ordered it before. just ordered 2 more.
It's currently $11.42 with free shipping. (Choose Black Charging Pad or White Charging Pad from the drop down list).

The Nokia one was through AT&T. The bad thing is uses a barrel plug for power, which makes it a bad choice for travel. It is also bowled out, so the phones don't sit flat, which is kind of stupid.
Most will all work the same. The only difference between the cheaper models compared to the more expensive ones are the features. More expensive ones typically have multiple coils inside to allow multiple positions and ease of use. Cheaper ones typically only have 1 which means you have to sit it in the "sweet spot" vs just plopping your device down.
Some Qi chargers also have different methods for keeping the charge topped off. Some just reach 100% and turn off, so your phone starts consuming batter at 4am = 75% remaining when you wake up. Others will stop, start, stop, start, stop, start... which is ok... unless it has lights and beeps every time it starts/stops. Some describe it as a beeping musical/lightshow at 5am. Most should reach 100% and begin to trickle charge to keep it up.
So know what you're buying and make sure if you buy a cheap model/off brand, you can repurpose it or return/exchange if it doesn't work to your expectations. I've moved my cheaper ones into my home/work offices and I have a good Samsung model by my bedside.

Yeah, no worries on the flat charger I have. It only makes 1 initial beep when connected and that's it. Actually, I'm not sure if it's the charger or the phone that makes the beep haha. When it reaches 100% there's no extra sounds. It also keeps the phone topped off. So when I wake up in the morning it's fully charged, and cool to the touch.

It's not even worth it at $12. Even being from Nokia, it only has a 750mA output current, so the charge time is going to be super slow. The one the OP posted has 1A output. The generic ones I posted are much cheaper and have 1A output.

Yes it will charge faster from an AC adapter (if the amps are enough to fully power the charger) compared to USB into a computer. If you use a PC/Mac USB port there generally is not enough current to allow the charger to operate at full speed. If you have a charger that is 5V/1.5A Input make sure you have a USB adapter that provides at least the same output. If you have an adapter that provides higher (ex: 5V/2A) that is fine as too as the charger will only draw what it needs.

Wireless Charging - is it worth it?

Hi folks,
I've been looking into wireless charging because, I thought, I could set up my phone to charge wireless; that is, across the room, for example. However, upon closer inspection, it looks like I'd be relegated to setting the device on a "base" in order for it to charge. Now, perhaps I was naive (or dumb) in thinking that I could chat away on the phone or otherwise keep it at my desk while some special hardware emits energy through the air to charge my device(s), but I can't for the life of me figure out what the big deal is about putting my phone on a base—that's connected to the wall(!)—to charge my phone in a manner that's less efficient than hooking it up to our 3.0 cable (which, I might add, charges my phone from the red to full in about a half hour). After all, to even take advantage of this charging method we have to buy a special battery, equipment, and even a new case that's compatible with the charger. I just don't get the value...
So, I defer to the community to enlighten me--what do you think of the setup and what benefits do you see form your investment? Also, do you notice a difference in battery performance compared to the stock battery?
Thanks,
R

Wireless charging is not worth it. IMHO.

the best i seen wireless charging is 0.8-1.0 amps which is nowhere near the 2 amps that is more or less required to charge at a fast rate in a decent amount of time from 0 to full.

Yes, it is not as fast as plugging it in but it is great for the purpose of convenience. Just drop it on the charger when you are not looking at your phone... just one downside: the charging back makes the phone thicker and you cannot use most of the cases. If you dont mind a naked phone, go for it.

reasonable question if you drop that on the pad and just leave and not go back what would it matter if it was plugging and and left? then you'll come back to a more of a charged phone lol

i use my phone all the time. to have a wireless charger is pointless to me since i cannot use it while its charging, its worthless. using the wired method not only lets me charge but also use my device as needed. its 100% crap if you ask me.... unless you're the type of person that doesnt use their device all the time and can be away from it for 3 hours +

I have the (Fast Charging)CHOE Qi Wireless Charger Kit. Didn't have to change any of my OEM. It is slower than the cord but I usually charge overnight anyway. I like grabbing it right out of bed and going. It's 50/50 for me. Probably didn't need it but now that I have it, it's cool. I got it off Amazon so it wasn't that expensive.

Plugged is the way to go.
Until they come out with a wireless method like you stated (without leaving it on the charger) then I will just stick with the wire.

is it worth it to buy official equipment for wireless charging? no
is it worth it if you buy after market? yes! less than $25 bucks and you can have a wireless charger. yes it won't charge as fast as a plugged in charger but if you are charging overnight and want to protect your usb ports, check emails thru the night (i do it for business), and don't necessarily like wires on the side of your bed, i can't see a reason not to.

Easier way to charge at my desk or night stand maybe I don't wanna bend down and grab the wire then plug it in, call me lazy but I like it.

I have the (Fast Charging)CHOE Qi Wireless Charger Kit. Didn't have to change any of my OEM. It is slower than the cord but I usually charge overnight anyway. I like grabbing it right out of bed and going. It's 50/50 for me. Probably didn't need it but now that I have it, it's cool. I got it off Amazon so it wasn't that expensive.

Can you link to the kit if you don't mind? I'm a bit paranoid about most aftermarket power accessories. Nice to hear about one that works.

No problem http://www.amazon.com/Charging-Wire...arging+Pad+and+Wireless+Charging+Receiver ...charger
I don't have some of the cons that the reviews talk about. My phone doesn't get really hot. I don't have the little bump in the back cover. It doesn't come with a plug but does come with the USB cord. I just use the original plug.

Thanks, I've been looking to get a wireless charger for quite some time, maybe this will be the one.

The benefit is 2 fold for me:
1) Ease. I have a Panasonic base that adjusts it's coil to line up with the phone so at night I just drop my phone on the base and KNOW that it's charging. Better than fumbling with a cable in the dark.
2) Less physical wear on the micro USB connector.

While not a wireless charger, the Amazon 9w speed charger & the Samsung USB 3.0 wire charge my phone super fast.

Wireless Charging
I did it just for the novelty factor initially. It was a good thrill, DIY mod types.
But later, I realized it is actually useful for me. I usually walk around while talking, and with Wired charger, I had to plug/unplug again and again after every call. Also, many times after unplugging, the wire slides down, and I actually have to crouch below my desk to recover it (call me sloppy, hehe). With Wireless charging, I just talk, place it back on the pad, nothing to worry about. It keeps charging while I do my work, and I also save the port (I've had port failing problems with other phones before).
