Looking to pick up a Qi charging dock for my Nexus 5.
The idea is a bedside dock with some angle so I can see it by rolling over. (my Nexus is about to become a baby monitor screen). I've looked through the budget thread, and it's just not for me. I'd rather spend the extra and get the 1.5a and something a bit more solid. The problem is, I'm having a lot of trouble finding any information about a dock form-factor and Qi charging. It all looks like flat pads and pucks right now.
The Swich Charger (www.swichcharger.com) looks great, but while I don't need budget I'm not going to spend $215. The $99 airdock falls into the same category for me.
The Sunwee looks decent (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WG6Q67W?psc=1) and is about the upper end of what I'd be willing to pay.
Any one have recommendations, while the Sunwee is the leader right now it's just not an obvious winner so I thought I'd ask. (Also, if you have a recommendation on a great non-Qi dock I'm still not 100% convinced)
Tylt Vu hand down best wireless charger. Has 3 coils do you can place your phone in any direction and it will charger. Also it's a stand.
Found this on Amazon, looks to be a clone of the Tylt Vu for half the price. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UE9O0WQ?&psc=1 and comes with the plug. Doubting any one has experience with it though :/
I have a tylt vu clone I'm addition to the original. It works just fine with nexus 5/7/6. Haven't tried that one specifically though.
Well, just ordered. I'll be back with a review thread next weekend.
There's two or three identical 3-coil tilted chargers being sold under different names. They all work fine.
$202-$26. If you pay more than $28, you've paid too much.

The only issue with that one is it's just a single coil/ 1-coil transmitter Qi charger. On my current phone (XT1225), which has the Qi receiver in the 1/3 of the back of the phone, it's HARD to hit the charging spot with a simple 1-coil charger.
For my phone you often have to place the phone almost OFF the charging pad for the battery to start charging.
Even for the Nexus 5, not always easy to hit the "sweet spot".
With the TRIPLE COIL/3-coil chargers (non-budget, as they cost a little more), 3 transmitter coils are interspersed throughout the pad. You place the phone ANYWHERE on the pad (even horizontally), it will hit a charging coil!

They make both flat style and tilted 3-coil chagers. I admit I like the titled better... Google 3-coil Qi charger, triple coil Qi charger.
I've changed out all simple "1-coil" Qi chargers with triple coil chargers, as I got tired of trying to hit the "sweet spot"..
Mini-review...
Went with the YeeSite 3 coil wireless charging stand because it came with the 2.1amp charger included.
In short, it works great. Charges quickly (haven't bothered to get an amp reading yet), just get anywhere close and it makes the connection. It has a little LED light that tells you the status of the connection, it's very unobtrusive but still noticeable when you go to look for it. I have my nightstand about 3 inches below the level of the bed, and the angle of the dock works great like that. I imagine on a desk I'd probably want a slightly steeper tilt though.

the tylt vu has that angle too. Wish it was more steep. They other one like that I have is the same way. Must be a reason they all do that.

this battery is a beast. It packs a quit decent capacity in a small convenient package which is fairly compact and light. Simple to use there is a single button on the top that, when depressed.shows a light bar scale of the charge
I will be updating this thread over the next week with real world results and usage details. myself along with my wife both owning galaxy S3's,as well as a few asus tablets.will have ample different device types to charge and check functionality on.so far it took about 2hrs to fully charge my s3 from 1%. still have 3 bars left on the battery bank out of 4.
bottom line This is a straightforward device - if you're looking for a way to extend your phones battery life while out and about,this does exactly what you need.small sleek and portable. With all of the portable battery options out there, the Moonstone 6000 stands out due to its unique design and valued accessories.The carrying case is a nice touch, and the extra USB cable that can be easily rolled up is even nicer. I highly recommend this battery charger to anyone looking for a small portable power source.
see pics.
not quit sure what the stickers were about or the key. but i figured out the fish is a usb cable wrap. pretty cool.
upon on boxing everything it came with minus the nice draw string felt carry bag.
i got bored after the review. I decided to do some customization to the case after i had it open for the battery pics.so i vinyl wrapped it. so now it looks like he has a tie when it charges. lol
Amazon Storefront: http://www.amazon.com/gp/shops/lepow
current deal on the Moonstone 6000 in Apple Green: Reduced to $29.99 from $59.99
And starting next Monday (11/25) until Black Friday, it will be decreased even more to: $24.99 from $59.99
sample provided for review.
manufacturers would you like your product reviewed? contact me......
$24.99 is a very good price for 6000 mAh battery. And with other goodies, definitely a great value.
Is that usb stick included in there? How about that suction pad, does it work with moonstone attached to it and stuck to a flat surface? I have noticed that shape of moonstone is not flat, more like a pebble. Just wondering if the extra suction pad is intended to secure it to a surface? Also, not sure if you can run free Galaxy Charging Current app (i know its free for Note 2, S4, Note 3, but not sure if you have to pay to use it for S3) or maybe any other apps or read it from your Rom the actual charging current?

I actually just checked charge. Fast charge placed at 1.13a normal was around 896ma. That's to my s3.says it has adaptive charge to protect phone circuit. I'll try. You tablet tomorrow All the stuff pictured came with it. Ya the suction pad works well. The USB stick is actually a microsd adapter. I'll pot more updates after a full week of testing with it.

This is a review of RAVPower Qi-enabled wireless charger. http://www.ravpower.com/ravpowerr-q...ss-charger-charging-pad-white-us-version.html , http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower®-Wireless-Qi-Enabled-Incredible-Single-Position/dp/B00DMZPQIG/
I was always envious of devices that have wireless charging enabled, especially since my Note 2 had that feature disabled by Verizon. Now, I finally got a chance to experience it with our new Nexus 7 HD tablet. As you aware, the official wireless Nexus 7 charger is $50+ and I wasn't too crazy about small footprint and thickness of it, makes the tablet easier to knock off. After some search, I decided to test universal wireless charging pad from RAVPower. Here is what I found.
The product arrived in a nicely packaged box. It included the wireless charger pad, VERY high quality usb to micro usb charging cable with 22AWG wires (those are thicker wires with high current and high voltage rating!!!), a quality AC usb wall adapter with 1.5A rating, and a detailed manual. The best usb charging wire I was ever able to get in the past for my Note's 2A charging was w/24AWG gauge wires, 22AWG is actually rare. The charging pad is very lightweight, only 3.8 oz, and has very slim dimensions of 5.7" x 3.1" x 0.3". This is very important because you don't want your tablet to be wobbling on a small and thick charger pad. The top surface has sandblasted finish and there is a rubber ring in the middle for additional non-slip grip. The front of the pad has led which is red when you power up the pad, and blinking white/red when you are charging your device. The other end has micro-usb port for a power cable. That's all, very simple and clean.
All you have to do is power it up and put your Nexus 7 on top, approximately centered in the middle. You hear a beep and it starts charging. I have a little charging-doctor dongle which monitors the current and I confirmed 0.8A which means the pad was actually drawing 1A of charging current without a dongle (the dongle by itself draws it's own current to power up led display and internal circuit). I did this test without a case just to show maximum charging speed. With a case, I'm using my last year N7 case temporary while waiting for new ones to arrive, I had no issue charging it as well, but I'm sure charging current/speed will be a bit less since the case adds a distance between wireless pad transmitter and N7 receiver.
Overall, I was very impressed with this product and can definitely recommend it to any Nexus 7 HD user. Keep in mind, this is universal charging pad so it will work with your Nexus 7 or any other Qi-enabled wireless charging devices from Samsung, LG, Nokia, etc. For $35 shipped US locally, backed by 1 year warranty, and including 1.5A usb AC wall charger and very high quality usb charging cable - its a great value!
Here are the pictures.

Awesome review, just ordered one.
Good review. One thing that I do which might help if your woried about knocking the tablet off the charger. I put my N7 face down and just put the charger on top of it.
Also I'm having a new table made which will have my Nokia charger in bedded into to it so that it sits flush with the top of the table.

Bought the same unit (except the seller now says he's in Bangor, ME). My N7 is charging on it now. Shipped much quicker than if it had come from China.

Hi everybody! I've seen a few threads about figuring how to use the Nexus Wireless Charger as a car mount/dock for our Nexus 5 phones and this is the solution that I've come up with. It's not the cheapest option as this charger costs more than most others out there. However, I wanted to utilize one of the standout features of the Nexus 5 which is being able to use the wireless magnetic charger out of the box without any modifications. I also didn't want to do any drastic mods to mount that to my car. I've seen other threads showing how some of you smart engineer types can rig some cool setups using paper clips and rubber bands. I'm no Macguyver (though I wish I was that smart).
I actually have tried to mount a wireless charging dock. This was a few years ago when I had the Palm Pre, which had the wireless charging (and also magnetic) Touchstone. To keep it short, I used this moldable plastic stuff to fix it to a car mount, which was then screwed onto my dashboard. It was not pretty at all. Plus, that moldable plastic ended up melting on a hot summer day. Shortly after that Palm got sold to HP and webOS went the way of the Dodo. I moved on to a Samsung Galaxy SII and have been missing the webOS cards and the Touchstone ever since.
Now comes the Nexus 5. To my surprise Google/LG also announces the awesome Nexus Wireless Charger. FINALLY something equivalent to the amazing Palm Touchstone. I just HAVE to have it.
Once you use something like a Touchstone and the Nexus Wireless Charger, it's tough to go back. Yes, you can still plug in the microUSB cord and yes it's not a big deal. But once you start using a nice magnetic wireless charger, you'll know. You just pop the phone on, it holds in place, and charges. Simple. In the car it makes absolute sense. Now I wish that the stock Android homescreen supports landscape mode by default and that there was a better interface for car use, but those are software issues which I think will only get better with time. As far as hardware goes though, the Nexus 5 along with the Nexus Wireless Charger on a good car mount works amazing. No need to modify the phone or your car dashboard and the magnet holds the phone on strongly. The only main disadvantage hardware-wise is that the phone has to be naked for the magnet to hold strongly. I also wish the Nexus 5 has the Touchless Controls of the Moto X; that would seem like the perfect thing to do have while the phone is docked on the car.
TLDR version: Magnetic wireless chargers are friggin awesome and are even more awesomer to use as a car dock. List of stuff, pics and video below.
Please excuse my dirty dusty car, poor speaking skills and shaky camera.

I don't know how much I trust that magnet did it fall off on anyone im really tempted to try this out
I really want to do this, but I feel like you can only do this if you don't use a case. Even though the wireless charger should work with thinner cases, I don't think the magnet will hold very well unless the phone is naked.

Correct. I haven't seen a magnetic one yet that can hold this phone with a case on. It's kinda weird considering phone cases are the norm. Why not make it with stronger magnets to compensate?

Better question is why can't someone make a case with metal tabs in the same locations as the phone?
That way the magnets wouldn't have to be stronger.
They'd have my money instantly.

Nice project man! Very clean!
Can you do me a favor? When the phone is attached, can you measure the magnetic field? Just use an apk that measure with the magnetic field sensor of the phone.
Thanks a lot!

The Google LG Brand Quick Cover (the flappy one) actually has steel bits to align with the magnets. It actually holds on stronger than without the case!
This is VERY cool! Thank you!
Quick question, do you get any vibrations when driving, or when you hit a speed bump? I drive a truck and the dash vibrats... I wonder if it would hold. I guess I could always connect it to the glass...
Is your phone charging when you are using navigation app (Google maps for example)?
I've tried with Chinese cheap wireless charger and performance for this case isn't amazing.
At least it's not discharging, but not able to charge with navigation on.

Hi all,
I have a lot of external battery packs. If you're familiar with Anker or even follow them on social media, you'll know they recently had a sale on their new chargers. I was able to get the 15600 and 20100 units for half price. They previously offered Power Users the 10400 unit for $9.99 which I gladly accepted. This review is in no way an obligation to these deals, but I wanted to share my impressions of these. Mostly, this will serve to compare to some of their other (older) products.
My favorite external battery charger to date is the Anker 2nd Gen Astro E5 16000. It's long and slim and fits in my front pants pocket really nicely. It's got a fabulous piano black plastic chassis, and blue indicator LEDs.
The PowerCore chargers all have a soft matte finish that slightly more of a charcoal black. The matte finish is advertised to not leave fingerprints or smudges, but I can assure you, it does pick up the oils off of your fingers. It does have a better grip than the glossy finished units.
A look at the specifications states that the new units have 4.8A output current, which is up from the 3A max that the Astro was capable of. This is awesome if you need to charge two devices simultaneously. I have a Legion USB Multimeter that I can verify that with but haven't done so yet. These chargers also boast PowerIQ tech, which is supposed to deliver the best charge type for your device. There's also protection and VoltageBoost features.
I've always admired Anker's relatively simplistic packaging and graphics design. They certainly do a nice job making you feel comfortable with your purchase decision, with reassurance that if you're not happy, they will make things right. I haven't had a negative experience yet.
Each unit includes a mesh carry bag and a USB cable (3' I think). The 10400's carry bag is a nice fit, but I think the bag included with the 15600 and 20100 is a bit too large for the size of the charger. I imagine this bag was sized to one of the larger chargers and they haven't updated the bags for the new product. I LOVE how perfect the bag fit is for the Astro 16000.
The USB cables are a great inclusion, although I wish they would include their heavier duty 28 / 21 AWG cables that you can purchase separately. I've noticed HUGE charging speed improvements using those heavier cables, especially with the longer lengths. Another point would be that if you're using these chargers with Apple devices (or anything other than Micro USB), you're going to have to source your own cable.
Charging the batteries is a matter of reversing a USB and plugging it into a charger just as you would your phone. LEDs light up with one LED flashing to indicate charge level.
Now, one difference I should point out compared to the Astro is that when these finish charging, ALL LEDs turn off. On the Astro, all LEDs stay on when the unit is fully charged. I prefer the Astro's behavior so you can see it is done charging at quick glance.
Since I've had the PowerCore 10400 longer, I've actually been using it since I got it. It performs just as you'd expect. That said, I find the wider design harder to keep in my pocket. I like the longer narrow build better.
And on size, the PowerCore 15600 and 20100 units appear to be exactly the same. The specifications say that the 15600 should weigh 341g, but according to my non-scientific OXO scale, both weigh 356g, which is what the specs say for the 20100. And the two being exactly the same size, I can't really tell them apart from each other without reading the very fine print labeling. This could be a problem of sorts should I keep them both around... I could easily grab the wrong one. Now, I'm only trading off maybe 2 charges for my Galaxy S6, but I do like to know what I am carrying. Also for reference, that Astro weighs in at 308g, so it is lighter, smaller, and has more capacity than the PowerCore 15600. I'll certainly use these newer units, but that Astro might remain my favorite.

Seen a lot of different ones on amazon and ebay. Just wondering what wireless chargers are worth getting.
I use Samsung's wireless charging stand, since I had it already from my S7. It works great with the G6.
I wonder why LG did come out with some new stuff for the LG G6?
Samsung had a bit of new Qi chargers( Dex), headphones..etc?

LG has their own mew fast charging unit. But they did not include the tech in yhe LG G6 they'll leave it for the v30 im sure. Imo if im wirelessly charging I'm not trying to fast charge anyhow. I've used many and IMO almost all built the same. Some have 3 coils for easier placement and some are smaller to take up less room. I literally just ordered this. 20% coupon code too. Plus Amazon 30 day return policy is amazing. For testing stuff. Not at all my video or advertising just sharing my experience.
I went with the CHOETECH Qi Model T513 wireless charger. Works great. I don't like stand chargers because I have kids and I'm sure they'd manage to knock my phone off of it... repeatedly. () I chose this one because it was decently priced, only about $20, and works great. Also has nearly all great reviews.

Is the fast wireless charging working on it? I read somewhere fast wireless charging doesn't work on Samsung's chargers

It just shows as standard charging, but typically I only need to charge my G6 at the end of the day and let it charge overnight, so I don't mind. If I need a quick charge, I just use the type C charger.
I got the CHOETECH T811C. It's cheap and seems pretty solid. Works through my case with no problems. I don't have any issues trying to find a "sweet spot" for it to start charging either, like I had with a previous charger.
I bought two chargers. One for work and one for home (bedside).
I use this one at work (the charge light was too bright in the room at night):

This one at home:

So far, I'm very happy with both.

I've had this for a couple years now and just pulled it out the closet. I recently picked up a G6 and thought I'd give it a shot. To my surprise, it worked like a charm. I haven't noticed how fast it charges because I leave on overnight just because it's easier to deal with in the dark. I haven't noticed any heating issues as it doesn't seem hot when I remove it. All in all it has worked well for me.

I too use this charger. Works great for me.
EDIT: Used to work. Now it works for about 30 seconds and then flashes error. I think that it might be because of my case. Not sure thought as I'm not going to take my case off every time I charge.
I also have one of these https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Wire...sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+wireless+fast+charger It works fine even with my case. It didn't work well for my G4 and the tylt worked well with it not my G6 works well with my samsung and not with my tylt. Go figure.
I have two of the vertical stands chargers from Seneo. Phone sits on its all day at work, and all night when sleeping. NEVER gets hot. Definitely recommend and purchased off Amazon. I wish it didn't have such a bright charging indicator light on it or at least the option to shut it off, but nothing a little black marker can't fix.

I had a cheapie Adrema, surprise it works and charges at 1.5 amps, faster than my original Samsung wireless ones. My G6 also works with my Belkin one.

Any good with a soldering iron?
A resistor of ~330 ohms 1/8 watt in series with the LED will dim it to what should be a suitable level.
Maybe I tinker with stuff too much

I can solder, not great but doable. Although in this case it's not remotely worth it. If I were to open this up I'd just disconnect the light altogether.

Yeah I get ya.
But I'd just have to get inside, the over-bright LED would do my head in. I bet it's blue too...?
I definitely tinker too much.
Hi,
I have recently bought choetech wireless charger for my g6. The charger also comes with micro USB charging cable. What i love most is that this wireless charger comes with integrated smart chip inside it that resist the wireless charger pad from overheating.

The official Samsung wireless charger seems to work pretty good and comes with it's own micro usb wall plug. It's on sale for $9.99.

I walked into a Best Buy and ask them for a price match. The price match was approved quickly.

Purchased Qi charger off Aliexpress and taped inside picture frame. Had to remove glass for reliable 1 amp charging. Phone held in place on the edge of inner frame.
