Does anyone have a recommendation for a fast wireless charger? The official Google stand is crazy expensive and doesn't actually meet the max capabilities (12W EPP)
I wonder if the Samsung one i have will work ??

Yeah I was looking at that one, an Anker one and a Spigen one.
Hey guys,
Let me know what you ultimately find. This will be my first phone with wireless charging so never looked at the wireless charger market. Would love to see which options you guys think are best.

There's loads of 15w wireless chargers on Amazon, I'm sure they probably all do the job more or less as well as eachother
The Pixel Stand is buggy as hell with the Pixel 5 (or maybe the other way around?). So you might be better off sticking with USB-C for the time being anyway.

I have a samsung one from 2015 and it works fine with my pixel 5
I was thinking of trying this one. Rated upto 15w https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07YD77RKC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_WSyJFb1A4YY11
I've never had any bad experiences with Anker.
For max output doesnt the charger need to be google certified!
I'm asking because, as far as the Pixel 3 goes, that was the case. The Pixel stand, from reading, was the only wireless charger that was compatible in that sense.
Anyone willing to shine light on this?

I bought Yootech wireless charger for my Pixel 4, it also works at around 10W with Pixel 5. I've not tested many, but from what I've seen on some forums most of the chargers would only work at 5W with P4. Not sure if anything has changed with P5. I'm using it with the original Pixel 18W charger, as I bought it without one.

I've not used wireless charging since the Nexus 4 and 5 and i thought it was pretty crap but owning a Pixel 5 has once again sparked my interest and i like the look of that one, seems great for the cash.

Well i ended up buying one and although it is very well made and charges quickly i didn't like how hot my phone got when left on it overnight to charge so I'll be sending it back. This isn't a fault of the charger though more a side effect of the technology, it is just a shame it doesn't cut off totally at 100%. If you are going to be using it to just top up for the odd hour or so it is hard not to recommend it though, it is hard to believe they only want a tenner for it to be honest, a great find by kinny314.

What advantages does this have over amazon.com/Upgraded-RAVPower-Qi-Enabled-Wireless-Single-Position/dp/B00DMZPQIG, apart from a higher capacity (6000mAh vs 4800mAh)? As the RavPower one is quite cheaper compared to the 1200mAh loss.

I've been using this LG charger with my Nexus 4 since January and it has been flawless. Works great with my Nexus 7 as well. Highly recommend it.
I'm looking to buy the DT-910 as it props the device upright so I can use the nexus as bedroom clock. The other wireless charging thread has a couple of users that say it works well. There is also a link to cheap dt-900 (similar to what you linked) by you need to buy 3 to get it cheap and it's in the US. I'm UK based so no use to me.

just a question: the 900/910 stops charging when reach 100%?
I bought this Kookpad wireless charger off Amazon and had it waiting when my phone arrived on Monday. You can get it in white or black. It is very placement insensitive. I ordered a 2nd one last night so I could have one at the office.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DQCUVPI/ref=cm_sw_su_dp
Read through the Amazon reviews. Some people didn't like the buzzer on it, but most people found it charged well.

When I got my N5, I used a HP Touchpad AC charger (up to 2.0 Amp output), this USB current measuring device http://dx.com/p/usb-av-usb-power-current-voltage-tester-translucent-blue-silver-235090, and then measured the input current to my Note 2, Nexus 5, and then Koolpad (linked on my previous post) with my Nexus 5 charging on it. The battery was about 55% charged so we were definitely in the constant current section of the battery charge (maximum current). The results were.
Note 2 Input current = 1.28A
Nexus 5 Input current = 1.08A
Koolpad (charging Nexus 5) Input current = 1.09A
The tranfser of power between the Qi charger and N5 isn't 100% efficient so the current into the N5 is something less than 1.09A. Guessing efficiency is 70-90% so that would mean 700mA to 900mA (0.7A - 0.9A) into the N5. I have only had the phone since Monday, but the charging time seems to be very similar between using a cord and the Koolpad Qi charger.
That is the only Qi charger I have tested so far. I don't know how others compare. While researching Qi chargers, I had read some people post that the Nokia DT-900 charged on the slower side..... no data to back that up.
Do these alle work fine with cases?
What about the samsung qi charger ?

I've order the nokia dt-900, when will arrive i will make test of time charge, temperature.
Anyway the wirless charger is not 100% efficient...if you search for a faster charge, use a 2,3a USB charger. (Remind the lion battery, for safe and longevity, have to be charge at Max the mah of the battery it self. So a 1000mah battery, Max 1a charger)
I got the Zens wireless charger from Shop Android. When it came I fell in love with the design and ordered 2 more for a total of 3 to have around the house. BIggest mistake ever. I also have the old Zens charger and the samsung S4 charger and the new zens is the only one that gets super hot. Don't know why but when I take the phone off its on fire. Sucks too because now I have 3 of these.

There's definitely some quality control issues with the Nokia chargers, but I can't imagine them saying you'd have to buy another. Their service is outstanding (experienced with multiple defective 920s) and I can't imagine they'd just go tell you to kick rocks.

Well, it was the equivalent. I had to pay $15 to ship it there (I had to use UPS, I couldn't just use a $5 flat rate box). then $10 for them to look at it, then free shipping on the way back. That's $25. I can buy another charger for that money.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I didn't actually "buy" the charger. It just came with my 920 from att. That was their reasoning behind me paying shipping charges.

I just don't believe this phone charges very fast which is making me change my style of charging. I normally only charged on the way to work and way home (20 min each way) with my S8+ and kept it above 90% normally but this one is so slow charging using Waze for traffic I might have to charge at office or home

I finally broke down and asked Google Pixel 2 support. "Richard" said that the 2 XL needs 15W and 2A minimum to charge.
That page you gave doesn't show your charger's output per port. But assuming all of them are equal, it only gives 13.5W per port. Not enough for the 2 XL.
I bought 2 of these last night. Great limited time price last night

Maybe a noob question here, but I was hoping to get wireless charging on my 2XL with a Nilken USB-C adapter. Works great on my N6P, but on the Pixel 2XL I get no charge. It registers as charging, but the battery % never goes up, even after an hour+. Is there an obvious reason why? I can't find any info anywhere.
Suggestions on getting wireless charging working?
Can't wirelessly charge a phone with a metal backing
If you really need wireless charging, there are USB-C pads that you mount inside a case. Check Amazon

That is my point. I bought a Nilken USB-C wireless charging adapter for my Pixel 2 XL. It works on my Nexus 6P fine, but won't charge my 2XL. Seems weird to me.
This is what I'm using:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y5FDXD4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My Pixel 2 XL will only charge with my old Pixel XL or the new one that was shipped with the phone. Even my car charger won't charge up the new pixel. I get the charging icon in the display but it always stays at the same charge?
Maybe your in the same boat as I am in?
That it will only charge with the Pixel chargers (old or new)?
Anyone else having this issue??
That link is for the short version. I'd think being the XL you'd want the long version.
That would suck. I need to be able to charge the phone while using it for navigation for long-distance road trips.

I tried charging last night with a standard low amp iPhone charger and I didn't get any charge at all, even though the charge light was on. Seems the Pixel 2 XL wont charge with low amp chargers? I was able to charge on a high amp car charger. Try that maybe?
That's what I thought, thankfully I have 2 pixel chargers now, (1 from my old Pixel XL and the new one)
Another note:
Had to RMA my brand new Pixel 2 XL as phone calls could only be heard from the speaker not the earpiece itself. I thought we had fixed this issue previously when I called into Google Support and we wiped the phone thus fixing the no sound issue but I noticed this past Saturday that it came back!
New phone should be here Tuesday or Wednesday.
Don't think the Pixel 2 launch this year was as smooth as Google would have liked!
It charges me with the turbo charger from the N6 as well as 2 port charger I have in my truck. It just says charging, not slowly or rapidly... The 2 port quick charger was for the N6.
A wireless charging coil that works with this phone would be great. I am somewhat invested into qi technology with the cradle in the truck and the stand on the night stand.

Seems like because the qi adapters are not fast charging, and the Pixel 2 doesn't seem to charge at all with low power chargers, wireless charging might not be an option yet. Inwas hoping too! Awesome to just thrown the phone on the cradle at night and no wires to f with. Maybe another battery case manufacturer will make a battery case with wireless charging again.

That is my point. I bought a Nilken USB-C wireless charging adapter for my Pixel 2 XL. It works on my Nexus 6P fine, but won't charge my 2XL. Seems weird to me.
This is what I'm using:

I have the same wireless add-on and it used to work brilliantly on my OG Pixel, but you are correct - I can't get it to work with my 2 XL. Like yours, it says "charging" but the percentage doesn't move overnight. Interestingly, I don't think it reduces in power either (I haven't been paying close attention, but I'm pretty sure I've woken up to the same % each morning that I fell asleep to). I will try again tonight.
The short vs long version of the hardware are identical except that one is longer for when it's in a case you can center it on a flat qi base, so that won't make a difference.
Very strange. I do have a fast charging wireless charger on order that I will try when it arrives, but I'm not confident it will solve the problem.
I got this one tonight and it seems to work just fine: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074SHBXC5/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The Type C Long Version. It should be the last one.

Interesting! I'm gonna try it just in case. Maybe the charging pad makes a difference. Which one are you using?

my charger looks similar. What powder brick are you using? I have a 3 different 2a wireless charging pads, and have been using the Samsung quick charger and still can't get any juice to my Pixel 2XL. I wonder if a USBC to MicroUSB will make a difference? But I don't see why...
So curious why this doesn't work!
Any suggestions? New to the wireless charging. 1st and last device I had that supported it was the Nexus 6 and with a case it didn't work so I gave up.

Best buy has a bundle deal with the pixel stand and it knocks the stand down to 59 dollars with a few other eligible bundle items.

I've had good luck with choetech products in the past. they have several wireless chargers, haven't tried any of the newer ones but they've pretty much been my go-to since the 6p and switching to usb c
This will be my first wireless charger.
Do we need to buy a certain type/spec or just buy any old wireless charger off of Amazon?
I'd like to find a slim matt-style to lay on my bedroom nightstand to just dump my phone on top of when I go to bed.
So in that sense, I'm fine with super slow charging.

it can do 10w, but in that case the older 5w ones will do. that said, back in the Nexus days I loved having the phone at an angle as a bedside clock (in fact, that's what my n7 is still primarily used for lol) so you may want to consider a stand charger.
So look for a 5W or 10W charger (or something in between), okay cool, thanks.
seriously yeah, I know that little about wireless.
Look for fast charge support and decide on a form factor. The small circles usually have a smaller sweet spot and by being smaller themselves make it easier for your phone to get bumped off of charge by kids, the dog, whatever, bumping the surface the charger is on. I'd consider spending a little more and getting a more stable platform rather than go with the small stuff. As said above if you want to see the phone on charge then you're going to need a vertical charger and you're going to need to decide if you want it in landscape or portrait and get a charger designed for that. If you're looking for a charger for use at a desk or in a working environment I would certainly lean toward upright so you can used your calculator and other tools while on charge. If you just want to flop it down to charge without any use of the phone then the lay flat versions tend to be cheaper.
Just bought two to try out on Amazon. Going to test them out on my Pixel 3 Xl and my ladies iPhone xs. Both chargers were under $20 each.

Caseology has a fast 10w wireless charger for 50% off on Amazon with a promo code, comes to about 20 bucks.....check my Caseology thread in accessories (it's a circular charger though, not the stand type)
I've bought this one and their wireless car charger and they both work great! I'd recommend them.

I just bought a pair of Nanami wireless stands from Amazon, 10 watts. It does do a fast charge, phone says charging rapidly. $26.00 with the charging brick, $16.00 without. I'm using the brick at my PC desk, and it's plugged into a 45 watt charger in my living room. Runs icy cool and really works well.
I say icy cool because I have an older Qi charger. The pad and the phone ran pretty warm which concerned me a bit.
The stand puts it at a nice viewing angle and makes the phone quite usable while charging.
This is NOT a paid endorsement
Lots of positive reviews.
There are standup wireless dock stations??
I need to Google this!
I have this one, it works and since I use it at night I don't care how long it takes to charge my phone.
AP has an article that says the Pixel 3 won't charge at more than 5W unless you have the Pixel stand. That's pretty lame on Google's part. It says the phone reports "charging rapidly" but really isn't. See here .
All of you might as well save your money and just get a decent one limited to 5w because that's what Google limited the pixel to for 3rd part wireless chargers
For everyone with wireless chargers can you kindly install Ampere from the playstore to confirm if any of them are charging above 500Mah ?

I can confirm the pixel stand is charging faster than 500Mah.

I can confirm that the Pixel Stand charges faster, but not the other fast wireless chargers that I have. The Seneo wireless charger that I have at my desk at work is only charging at ~500mA in spite of the fact that the phone indicates that it is "charging rapidly". I sincerely hope that Google fixes this and quickly.
