Unless I've missed it from my research but I haven't seen any mention of this Wireless Qi charger from Panasonic. Seems pretty good as it also goes and detects the device, so no need to move the phone or the tablet around to ensure it is charging. One fairly common complaint I notice is that they have to move the device around to ensure the charger finds the phone\tablet.
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this as I may be picking it up for my Sexy Nexie 4 and 7. Or at the very least, here's another option for everyone to look into for their devices.
Here's a video review of some drunk guy on YouTube.

I have had mine for a couple of weeks. Love it. My tablet pretty much stays charged all the time.

I have one I bought for my Nexus 4 as soon as my N4 arrived in January. Works fine with the Nexus 7 - although never seems to switch off from charging. When I leave it charging over night the charge light almost always on in the morning but the Nexus 7 only feels barely warm. So probably it is just trickle charging.

From your experience approximately how long does it take to charge the Nexus 7? My other concern about wireless charging is how it affects the battery life overall. I'm assuming you guys only place it on the charger from empty to full all the time?

x2, I am afraid it would shorten the battery life.
Pretty much I am either holding my nexus or it is laying on the charger. From its lowest point, maybe 20%, it will charge to full in 4-5 hours. Then the light on the charging pad starts flashing.

I should add, the nexus is noticeably warm when I take it off the charging pass. This is not a trickle charge.

To clarify my earlier post:
Charging for N7 takes a long time - I guesstimate charging time is 5 or 6 hours. I normally charge it overnight. My N4 charges and switches off at around 95%. N7 charges to full charge.
The Panasonic charging coil seeks out the best position for charging the device. The N7 coil is physically in the centre of the back, so position placement really doesn't matter much.

flashing means something wrong
I have one, works perfectly well with the Nexus 7. The charging coil in the station is motorized, so it'll sound like a quiet inkjet printer when it positions the coil, but it's not loud at all and doesn't bother me. Works especially well if it's on your nightstand... especially when it's time to go to bed and you're too tired to bother with a cable or another Qi charger in the dark. As long as you don't place the tablet like halfway off the station, it should work.
As far as cutting off charge, some people have said that it charges to 100% then won't initiate charging again until the device drops to 90%. Haven't really had a chance to test it, but every time I've picked up my tablet after a night of charging, my Nexus is at 100%.
totally not trying to thread-crap.... just figured I should mention that AT&T is selling the Nokia DT900 at half price.. $25 for wireless charging is great way to give it a try. It's working perfectly with my N7 and N4... I just ordered a 2nd.

Thanks I've seen the thread and it is a very good deal
Have had this since my nex 4 this came out a year or two ago, I saw it there when I was in japan.
worked fine on my nex4 and nexus 7 2nd gen.
I tried it with the yijieneng receiver on my s4 but didnt work with case on, didn't try it without.
been using the samsung pad because it tops off the battery, where as the panasonic stops once it hits 100%.
I ordered one friday, and it arrived today (tuesday) from eBay second hand for about $25
Using a generic QI receiver from ebay, when i first turned it on and put my phone on, 'oh hello phone here have some power'
then my curiosity attacked me and said 'THERES A BUTTON THERE PRESS THAT BUTTON WHATS IT DO!? so i pressed it then got to spend some time trying to figure out what i had done. DONT PRESS THE BUTTON, i think it has different modes, for finding the phone, after i pressed it the pad wasn't happy with my phones location and just kept moving left and right not charging.. but its working now xD
Im trying to find a copy of the manual online but not having any luck...
Haven't tested the speed yet, but its rated at 1amp so i presume it to be the same as most QI chargers on the market
Edit: speed is great.

Well mine flashes when charging is complete. Maybe the charger considers full to be an error - but it works for me. Love the charger.

Odd. I, too, had purchased a Nokia DT900, and it did not work with the Nexus 7 for me - AT ALL! I have since read that it didn't work for many Nexus owners.
I had to return it.
I then bought this Panasonic model, and it's been flawless (even through my MOKO case).

Sorry to hear it. The DT900 was a total bust with my N4, but still working great with my N7.
Sigh, as others have said, it still feels like this is such a beta level feature (ie. that there has to be so much luck getting the right combination of products to make it work)
Still waiting for mine that was ordered from eBay. Once I saw the tracking feature with the LEDs it was an instant buy, lol.
Is the Nokia DT-900 Wireless Charging Plate Nexus 5 compatible? Looks great!

Yup works great!
I've got a DT-910, which looks similar but holds the phone upright, and it's working fine. So I'd imagine the 900 works the same.
Yes, works for me too.
Last night it charged my phone from 16% to full in ablout 2.5 hours.
Today I'm gonna see how quickly the USB charger does it but I'm assuming faster than that.
Still, under 3 hours 0 to Full from wireless is fine by me.

Awesome deal indeed! I ordered three. Not sure what I'm going to do with three of them, but $11 more for the third was just too good to pass up!
They don't seem to be available for in-store pickup, but my online chat said the free shipping should arrive in 2 days.

I can also confirm, Nexus 5 charges fine even with a case on it. I don't think it charges as fast as the outlet plug though, but these things are a steal considering how cheap they are.

just picked up a few, thanks for the heads up. what a great deal, esp when google seems to be dragging their feet on releasing the official charger
I picked up 3 for holiday gifts.
I already have two DT-900's that I replaced with LG WCP 300's (40.00 each) which I currently still use.
The LG's are faster by 25-30% (estimate) but at this price point the DT-900's are a far better purchase.
Thanks for the heads up!
good to hear at least one getting good results with thi sone. i ordered it the same day as i ordered my nexus and it seems to be stuck in USPS limbo (along with nearly everything else i've ordered lately, ugh.) it was due to arrive yesterday and was last scanned as departed from a city about an hour away yesterday morning.

Just brought! Thanks man! this is my first wirelesss charger. I have two questions for anyone that has the answer.
1)Can you charge the nexus 5 while the phone is off? ???
2) When the phone charges to 100% will it then STOP charging? I was to use this while Im sleeping so I can leave my phone to charge overnight and not have to worry about it over charging and draining the sealed battery and also dont want the phone to over heat. so does it stop charging once it reaches 100%?????
Pre-order, that is
Here it is
At 89.50$ plus shipping it's a little steep, though. And I would have liked to have some images of the product rather than the phone. I know what the phone looks like already.
maybe an Image
you can check http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mugen-Power-Xperia-Compact-3000mAh/dp/B00RWR6XJG/
for the Pictures
Lol. With this case you can probably last 4-5 days with the z3c
Ridiculous price...$89.50
You can BUY n°5 10.000mah rapid charge external battery.......and you can use your z3c for 2 months.

Thats actually a really awesome idea with using the mag charging ports! if it were 50 bucks i would get one right now
I'd love to see this case in a video, just to get a good look at its proportions etc. It is pricey....but I'd probably just spend the cash on car parts anyway.....

You asked for it
1. I would like to see photos of the phone with and without the case lying on a flat surface, to get am idea of how thick it is.
2. When you use the case, does the phone think it's constantly being charged? What amount of days shows you ultrastamina mode?
3. How long does it take to charge fully?
4. Do you notice any overheating issues after using the case for some time?
Thanks, that's all I can think of at the moment

I can answer question 2 part a) right now.

The case has a button on the rear of the case to enable the charging process. When the case is deactivated the phone behaves as it would without the case. With the case activated it behaves as it would when sitting in a charging dock or with a magnetic charging cable attached.
The only 'downside' so far to the use of magnetic charging port is that when the case is activated the phone believes it is in a 'dock' and automatically answers phone calls with the loud speaker on.
But I have found mention of an xposed module that may rectify this automation, I will report back with a link when I have tested to confirm its effect.
I am studying all this week so give me a little while to fully answer all your questions, but I will answer them
Photos
Here are some photos that hopefully show the case and it's proportions well enough.
I'm no photographer by any means though haha.
Oh and ignore the metal dome stuck onto the back of it, that's for my car mount.
That looks so bad!
While it is awesome to have 5 days battery life, this is for special occasions only in my opinion.

oh I agree. I wanted it mainly as an alternative to carrying a separate power bank hanging off the phone via USB cable. At least this case attaches neatly to the phone and can still fit my pocket.
So yes, ugly, but highly practical.
I feel I should also mention the build quality is really very good, it feels very solid.
How many days and sot you've got with this battery ?

Well, given the info on their homepage it should last at least twice as long as your phone does now.
built in battery is 2600mAH, the mugen brings an additional 3000mAh. So I guess in Ultra-Stamina mode it basically lasts like an old Nokia? I was actually about ordering one for my upcoming transatlantic flight, but I just saw that they'll ship again in mid-June only
Well, I will receive the mugen battery in 10 days, I don't use ultra stamina but stamina is on all the time so I will see exactly the difference. Now I have between 8 and 10 hours sot, if I have between 16 and 20 hours sot, it's just great so I wait to see ?.

Any more impressions now that you've had it for a short while? I'm really temped to buy one too.. it's just one of those "good-to-have" things.
Also, do you charge it via micro usb, like the smartphone and how long does it take to charge the battery case completely?
Btw, do we already know the size of the Z4 Compact? it would be great if it worked on the upcoming model too..

So far so good! I do intend to put some more stats up from my usage I've just been flat out with university. Luckily that all wraps up next week!
Yep it just charges via the same cable as the phone.
The use of the magnetic charging port definitely makes the case much more useful. I had an epic ZeroLemon case for my note 3 with a built in extended battery and it such an ordeal to install and remove the phone from the case. This is a much better solution.
It's hard to measure the effect it has on predicted battery life because it charges via the magnetic charging port the phone recognises it as an AC charging source.
Once I have got some stats I might even make a little youtube review, maybe, don't want to get famous hahahaha.
Has anybody personally found a good replacement internal battery that has full, or close to full charge capacity? Before anybody says it, I have replaced phone batteries before and have no issues with the risk and disassembly aspect of replacing the battery. I want to install a new one because my current battery dies so quickly anymore, but everywhere I look I only find ones with terrible user reviews. Can anybody point me in the direction of a better quality option?

No I ended up using the slightly-less-than-terrible verizon trade in offer on an s10. I got the plus because of the 4ah battery specifically although im already remember how much samsung's UI's blow compared to regular android... But if I had gotten one I would probably just get one directly from ifixit after reading some of the user feedback. Seems like they are mostly better received than amazon and ebay options.
I purchased a battery from the below eBay seller.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/113153374724
It's a genuine battery from what I can tell and came in a clear plastic case. It's dated 2019/01/16, so very recent. I'll be installing it tomorrow.

Logos are marked out to do with customs, in many of countries they do not allow the importation of counterfeit products under copyright law, marking out the company logo bypasses this. Obviously if the actual OEM is selling their own batteries then this does not need to be done.
Any updates on battery life? I am looking to buy from the same seller for my Pixel XL.

Sorry for the late reply.
It was defective, it lasted a week before it would no longer hold a charge. It looked genuine, but I didn't want to deal with a replacement, so I ended up getting a refund, and going with ifixit for a replacement battery instead. I'm guessing I just received a lemon, the seller was solid with the refund.
https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Android/Google-Pixel-XL-Replacement-Battery/IF356-005
Expensive at $25, but it's been solid ever since. Holds a charge very well. I purchased the kit, since I can see myself reusing the tools in the future.
It matches the original bloated battery I took out the first time. It seems to be genuine OEM, the HTC logo on the battery is covered up by a black marker which you can remove with alcohol. You can even make it out a bit in their photos.

Thank you for the update!
I guess I will get this one probably, instead of buying the new Pixel 4 XL.. just to see how long it lasts... it still works damn good, and exactly why I chose Google phone over other cheaper contract phones!!
What do you think? any practical reason to get the 4 over a battery upgrade for this one?

Since Google decided to extend support for the OG Pixel/XL with Android 10, they left me little reason to upgrade to 4. They would have to come in at $700 (not going to happen) or less for me to upgrade, or else I'm staying put until next year's 5. There is also the "possible" Pixel 4a/XL to look forward to in 6 months.
I had to buy mine used to replace my OnePlus 5 that had a saltwater accident after 2 years of use. The used eBay pixel XL I bought seemed like it hadn't been used in well over a year based on the software update status. It was also on the beta program so it was probably an enthusiast who bought new and used it a few months and switched to something else throwing it in a drawer. Battery still seems as good as they were new, after months of me using it. Still not as good as the OnePlus 5 and doesn't charge fast but it's still a good phone. Camera is close to as good as anything out there. UI had more lag than the op5 but seems smoother in scrolling and general usage.
Hi,on my pixel XL my USB preferences stopped working and is stuck on charge. After trying different chargers and cables, my phone will only charge using a USB-A to USB-C. When I plug phone into PC, it will only charge, can't change it from charge. I was wondering if someone has had a similar problem. If so, did changing the battery fix this problem or has anyone changed the USB daughter board and that fixed the problem. If anyone knows of a fix for my problem. Thank you.

Hi! So, I installed Pixel Experience ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. Few days later, it got splashed a bit. "No big deal", I thought, since it's technically IP68 Water resistant. It worked normally until I wanted to charge it. It started charging but after 10 minutes it simply stopped. I tried a different cable, different adapter, restarted, used a hairdryer, cleaned the USB port, still nothing. 12 hours later, the battery drained to 0% and my phone died. I was unable to boot or charge it anymore. Any suggestions?

It worked normally until I wanted to charge it. It started charging but after 10 minutes it simply stopped. I tried a different cable, different adapter, restarted, used a hairdryer, cleaned the USB port, still nothing. 12 hours later, the battery drained to 0% and my phone died. I was unable to boot or charge it anymore. Any suggestions?

Well in my opinion you'll have to buy a new phone, because water damage aren't something that can be fixed without replacing parts of your smartphone.
You can always change the battery adaptater but I doubt you'll find any replacement piece.
So either you go to a repair store and see if they can to something, or you buy a new phone. (And obviously not a Nextbit Robin, since it's not sold anymore)
I can advice a good Pixel 3a or and Oneplus 7.
Or if your price range allows it A Oneplus 7 Pro

The thing is I don't think it's water damage. The phone connects to my PC without any problems. It's not charging, though. So, I flashed Stock ROM with Odin. I thought "Maybe there was a software bug or something", but apparently it wasn't. I am forced to use a very slow Wireless charger that charges my phone in about 5 hours without using it...
Unfortunately, I don't even have $100 to spend on a new phone, since I bought this S7 edge not even 6 months ago from eBay at a good deal of $170. I'll have to replace my charging port, apparently, and from the tutorials on YouTube seems it's a pain to replace it...

Yeah, I the problem is that low power action (like data transfer through USB) can work, but high power is unfortunately not working due to water (I think).
Anyway the charging port is still faulty and, yes it's a drag to change.
Good luck with that

Well it's alive but not so good, I have like 2h SOT,
oh and about that, I was digging for a GCam that worked well with Android Pie, do you have one ?
I remember that I used before a GCam with a grey lens icon that worked very well. Do you know where I can find it ?
