Hello,
i already own the Nexus Charging Orb and i really like it, and i would like to get the newer nexus wireless charger as well (the flat one).
The problem is, i have no idea where to get one. It doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Is Google creating a new one or why the shortage?
If anyone has a link to buy a new one (preferably in Europe), please let me know.
I have a flat qi charger off amazon. It was $15 and I love it.
how about you created one? i've been googling and we just have to buy the pcb and design our own
I know that there are many cheap qi chargers, but i wanted the nexus one. Is it completely out of stock everywhere?

Hi all,
I've been reading a lot of threads about wireless charging and one of the most frequently asked questions is:
"Does this work with my [insert case here]?".

So I thought it would be a good idea to make a thread where everybody can check if their cases are compatible before they actually buy the kit.
The 'set-up' I'll use for the testing will be this one; this backcover and this touchstone.
(Please note that I'm not affiliated with any of those products nor sellers. I'm just a guy that's trying to help his fellow S3-owners out before they buy the kit/mod. Those products also were the cheapest ones I could find on eBay as of 27th november.)
I will divide this into 2 sections; the QI wireless charging and the Touchstone wireless charging (mod).
I've ordered a couple of cases to test out and I will report back later. Also, I'll probably give these cases away afterwards anyways.
In the meantime it would be great if people could add cases that are compatible and if they use the QI or the Touchstone wireless charger.
QI wireless charging compatible cases:
-Otterbox Defender
-Otterbox Commuter
-Otterbox Prefix
-Spigen SGP Neo Hybrid
-(some) TPU/Plastic cases
Touchstone wireless charging compatible cases:
.
I've added a section like that on the stickied qi thread as well [last night]. (in my post that is).
Specifically for the Qi ones. Afaik, members who have the otterbox commuter & defender are able to charge w/ the Qi charger.
I have a hybrid tpu/plastic case that also works with the qi kit.

Alright, thanks for your input. Do you want me to delete the QI piece? So there are no double posts and whatnot.
I don't really care. I think it's fine to have a place to double check.
i just manage to put the Touchstone wireless charger from palm into the galaxy s3 battery cover, ordering some case on amazon, will report back.
Since this thread is about Qi & Wireless charging tech.
Why not link to where we can get a battery back with the capability to wireless charge our phones? just a thought.
I've brain stormed ideas including ways to add a wireless charging station to a car/truck but I have yet to get a wireless/Qi battery door to make it even possible to start doing such experiments.
I had heard Samsung announced a wireless charging kit for the S3 but apparently never released it. (hopefully they show it off this week at CES for release alongside the new Extended battery coming this month)
check my 2nd post in the sticked thread for different options. That was all I was able to gather before it got close due to some members who blatantly abused the thread for their personal gains.

Are the Qi backs compatible with the Nokia wireless pads? I read some threads on here that some users are using them but wasn't sure if that was entirely true and if it worked or not.
they work. It's a qi reciever so any transmitter will work. (i have the yijieneng one and tested it out on the nokia pad and the speaker/charger pad combo at the AT&T store and it charges just fine.

Received my cover a while back. Also ordered 2 touchstones and *about* 20 different types of cases from different locations.
Was on holiday and didn't manage to get home yet but tonight I'll try everything out.

Alright, will add this in the OP.
FYI, I bought this backcover and 2 of these touchstones (note: doesn't come with a cable or anything; just the touchstone).
Also, haven't had a chance to try the combo out -yet. See previous reply.
Yeah, they announced it but haven't released anything yet. Frankly, I don't even know if they'll ever release it. Maybe it was just for the hype of it.
After all, they were 'one of the first' that would incorporate this in a device so widely sold.
I have the Zens white backcover with the Zens charging pad. It works but the cover is too thick for use with my case (which i want to keep) + it's white (Black S3).
I was wondering if anyone has experience with dismantling the tech in the zens cover and 'mounting' it in the standard samsung cover. Any feedback is welcome before i rip it apart
I got this touchstone back;
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=170950767865
The magnet is terrible, it can barely stay on the touchstone without a case on it, and let alone with a case.
I have a touchstone on my dash in my car and even when driving slow in a straight line with no case on, the phone won't stay on the touchstone.
This Sucks because I bought sygic gps and was hoping this could replace my windshield mounted deactivated HTC touch pro 2 with igo8 finally.
Has anyone got one with an acceptable strength magnet?

cheapest I've found yet. $17.28 shipped for the receiver, I think $50 for the kit. free shipping. (same pad as every other overseas site, just way cheaper and verisign secure/certificate matches)
I ordered the Nexus 5 and I have a nexus 7 2013.
I'm looking at ordering this charger. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/QI-Wireless-...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item20d6b7e194
This should work with both right?
Any thoughts on the quality of no-name brands from china?

Kinda don't like the fact that he's stressing not to use any case on your phone while using the device:
"Please Dont use any case or cover when you use QI wireless charger"
From what I read, QI chargers should still work with cases... also the video he posted, it looks like the N7 he was using didn't start charging? I could be wrong, the screen didn't turn on to indicate a charge - I could be wrong, maybe it doesn't do that?
I bought this no name qi charger from amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E9MUNWU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It has some decent reviews .. hopefully it'll work.
It's a warning in case the buyer uses a thick ass case and complains that it doesn't work
There's a limit to how well a phone can charge through a case. Some cases just won't work.
No names usually work, but if you want something more reputable, grab a DT-900 for $25
Hi,
So, I'm one of the 'few' users which the USB connector on my nexus became loose to the point where doesn't charge anymore. One of the connectors inside broke (shorter then the others), I tried to fix another connector (successfully) but I can't do much about the broken one.
With this I'm left with 3 alternatives.
Send to RMA, logical, but would take at least two months since I'd have to send it to UK (was bought there) and I don't wanna be that long without it.
Order a USB connector and mount it myself. I'm actually considering this... But moving on...
Order a wireless charger, this seems the most fast option to get it charging. Now choosing this option leaves me with some questions. Considering that the official wireless charger is way more expensive than those QI ones, I checked the specifications and seems like the mA/output between QI chargers and official wireless is the same, so, do they take the same amount of time charging? Will I have any issues with another brand (considering it should work on nexus) ? Any big pratical differences between official / other brands if the technical specifications are the same?
Someone care to shed a light on this matter?
Thank you so much in advance

In my experience with third party chargers i only found it to be a bit less well built and slightly more heat
But thats it
In my opinion you should go for it
Because my N7 is also used in my truck for audio, I have a wireless eBay charger in the truck mount and another on my nightstand by the bed. They work great and supposed to.
Thanks guys
Guys
After having the watch for a while
Any compatible charger recommend?
Not over heat? Works as the original?
Apprieciate your answers
Thx
So, I was able to just toss it on one of my Qi compatible chargers I had and it seemed fine, I didn't notice any overheating or anything, I'm pretty sure all the Qi chargers charge at about the same power level.
Well you're wrong there are qi chargers which are not compatible you need to read some posts about
Please reply after usage only,

I did use it... Would you like a picture?
It is possible that some of them don't work, I didn't try all of them... I can always post what worked for me, I'll have to look it up, got it a long time ago through ebay since I used it for my nexus 5.
That said, the 'approved' chargers aren't really that expensive anyway and can be purchased from any best buy.
Ok so what charger you used? Not expensive??? 40$?

The one I have is a no-name brand one I got back in June 2013.. This one looks like it:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qi-Wireless...l_Phone_PDA_Chargers&var=&hash=item2a44915bdb
I also noticed though, if you feel more comfortable with a product that they advertise works with moto 360 (again, I'm not sure why one wouldn't and I hadn't heard of certain ones not working), if you search ebay for 'moto 360 qi charger', you'll get a number of chargers in the $20 range, like this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qi-Wireless...l_Phone_PDA_Chargers&var=&hash=item3398079e15
I can say that the Nokia D900 and the Choe Wireless one from Amazon work just fine.
Just get this. Works great.

Hey,
I recently got a new Nexus 7 and was looking at wireless chargers, but I can't find a good one. I don't want to get the official Nexus Qi charger because the sticky bottom annoys me.. idk why, and then there are other cheap Qi chargers for as low as 2.99... I just can't find a quality one.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
:good:

Just because something is inexpensive does not necessarily mean it isn't a quality product. As far as Qi charging is concerned, there really isn't a lot to it. You could even assemble one yourself if you have even a bit of electronics skill.
I've purchased several of these for the many Nexus 7's in my house: Choetech T511 7.5W Qi Wireless Charging Pad with Anti-Slip Rubber for Qi-Enabled Devices - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C40OG22/ref=cm_sw_r_taa_cpUVxbDHXZEA3
Inexpensive, yet they work well!
Ah, okay! Didn't know that. Thanks
if you'v got other fast charge capable devices in your household, this works well:
