Does wireless charging with the pixel wireless gen 2 charger cause any damage or longevity problems to the battery vs normal wired charging? Thanks .
Wireless charging generates more heat so in theory the battery would last longer using wired. I don't use wireless charging at home or in the car for that reason.

For those of you who have tried the wireless charging mod for the T889 version of the SGN2, do you get a voltage drop across the receiver coils with the phone not charging on the Touchstone but powered up? What about NOT charging but powered off? I'm just wondering if the missing hardware controller shuts off power to the receiver coil when the phone is not in wireless charging mode. Do you notice a drop in battery usage time or no drop at all?
Anyone have access to the N7100 version that can verify this?
I'm contemplating applying this mod, but I also want some control over when the receiver coil is active. [I was hoping to post this under the developer thread started by Vinas1, but don't have posting rights to that area yet. I need to pay my dues with 10 posts]
Wireless charging is not much current. I think around standard usb current which is 500mah. The stock charger is 2000mah (2amps). So that means when in wireless charging if you have the screen on it will most likely not charge but keep it at whatever percent it is currently at. If you are doing anything else as well like GPS you can expect it to drain on wireless charging.
I have the Verizon charging pad and the Samsung wireless charging battery cover and they work great, however, what if I plugged the phone in to the USB charging cable AND placed the phone on the wireless charger? Would it heat up? Charge faster?
Thanks,
it will disable the wireless or the USB charging. i don't recall which.
Hello all,
I am trying to figure out which is the fastest charger, wired or wireless for the Nexus 5. To do this, I suggest we gather measurements about the charging speed for the phone charging when it has less than 75% charge.
My results are the following so far:
T-Mobile dual usb wall charger 700-800 mA
this ebay Qi charger [1] 200-300 mA
[1] http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wireless-Qi...l_Phone_PDA_Chargers&var=&hash=item51b121c146
Note that the T-mobile dual USB charger was the power source when using the Qi charger and the same microUSB cable was used in both cases.
Does anybody have a wired or wireless charger that can charge faster?
Also, I am using the Elixir 2 app to measure the mA, is there an alternative that does not require the screen on (I feel that it may affect the measurements)?
The one that outputs more mah will charge faster.

They're both awful outputs u need at least 1000 mA / 1A output. You can damage the battery with underpowered charge rates
Also that eBay link states 1A output in the description

Guys, for the wired chargers, we are not talking about the STATED MAXIMUM OUTPUT here, we are talking about the output IN PRACTICE. Most chargers are rated for instantaneous output (it can output 1A or 2A or whatever is listed on the charger, but only for a millisecond, then the rate will fall off).
Please use the app and let me know what your rates for wired charging are (not that the rates fall off when the device is charged more than 75%, so try to test when the charge is lower than that). I bet the rate you find will be lower than 800mA, but if this is not the case, I am curous on the charger and cable that you use.
As for the wireless charger, I know it is very very bad, am trying to return it.
A poor/cheap usb cable will make a massive difference too. I once had a cable that wouldn't let more than 384mA through it!

Exactly! This is why I picked the cable I am using now, but I could not get over 900mA with this combination of cable + charger. The Charger is a T-mobile dual USB 3A charger and in my opinion it is very good.
The stock wired charger is rated for 1.2A and actually charges at just over 1 A. The charging chipset in the phone limits charging to 1.5 A max.
The nexus wireless charger charges at 750 mA max. Bad positioning and cases will reduce wireless charging efficiency though.

I've noticed that during wireless charging my phone will charge at 500-600mA up until 85-87% and after that it will charge at 300mA to 100%, so make sure when you are testing to test at lower battery capacity. Also, try wireless charging from a USB port of a computer, I've noticed that I got better performance form USB port than from 2A touchpad charger.

Wired charging is always going to be faster than wireless charging. Wireless charging on the Nexus 4 Orb takes about twice as long as charging via the supplied wired charger with the Nexus 5. Technology is going to have to advance quite a bit before wireless charging eclipses wired charging. There is an inherent inefficiency with wireless charging that wired charging does not have.
i bough one of those white, skewed ones off ebay for 10€ shipped and am pretty happy with it!
Yes, I know that any other charger than pixel stand won't charge faster than 5W. But still, I've got baseus simple wireless charger (2A) and connected my pixel 3 xl for the night. It had about 45% before and about 55% in the morning. So it got about 10% in 6 hours. That's super slow. I've tested it in Ampere and it shown about 300mah. Charger itself is connected to rock wall charger with 2A power output. I'm also using Spiegen ruggee armor case. What's going on?
It seems that the baseus wireless charger is causing the problem
Try again without the case, a different charger block, and then again on a different wireless charger. I've been using wireless charging since the Nexus 6 and it can be a bunch of different things.
Generally I try to use a "matched" charging block to the wireless charger itself. For example, if it is a 2A wireless charging stand I'll pair it up with a 2A charging block not a QC 3.0 charging block. While this shouldn't make a difference it could be a problem.
I have multiple Itian wireless stands that I use for my iPhone X, Nexus 6, and Pixel 3 XL and I only have some minor issues.
One issue is that every once in a while I have to unplug and re-plug the micro USB cable into the charger because it just stops working for no reason. Other times it's something as simple as the phone isn't sitting in the stand correctly.
The way wireless charging works is through inductive coils and I bought the Itian wireless charging stands on purpose cause they have three coils reducing the issue of not properly setting the device in the cradle.
Unfortunately it's hard to say what it is exactly but try different things that seem logical as to why it isn't working for you. Good luck!

Similar here, I've been a wireless charger lover since Shamu and Nokia Icon. I still use the same Tylt Vue chargers. It charges slowly, but who cares, it's on the night stand and easily makes 100% by morning.
I have to say I've tried again few nights and it's working better. What matters is the position on the charger. If it's a bit off it charges slower. I guess case may be slowing it down as well.
Hello everyone, is this happening only to me? I'm using the original Google wall adaptor with a Mous wireless charger and magnetic case. The wireless output is between 5W and 15W, so it should theoretically be fine. Instead, the charger overheats substantially, to the point that the phone stops charging at roughly 50%. Did anyone encounter similar issues?
Thanks in advance!

I have the wireless car vent mount and Limitless 3.0 on a Pixel 6 Pro and mine also overheated so much that the phone stopped charging itself to keep the temperature down. I realized though that I was using a car charger with much more power capability than the included adapter, so once I switched to the originally-included car adapter it actually heated up less. Maybe try a weaker wall adapter?
Thanks for the tip! I've contacted Mous and they confirmed the phone overheats as the charger constantly charges at maximum speed. I'm currently using the Google wall adapter, but I'll try with a weaker one and will let you know. Thanks again!
Update: that did the trick! Swapping the Google wall charger with a weaker one allowed the phone to continue charging until 100%. The charger still overheats and slows down the charging after a while, but at least it continues to charge until full.
Thanks again!
