Does anyone know if the old Google Wireless charger seen here http://www.amazon.com/Google-Wirele...4183&sr=8-3&keywords=nexus+6+wireless+charger will work with the Nexus 6?
Yes, it does. It doesn't "stick" as good as the N4 and N5 (I believe primarily because of the curved back), but it is usable.
You're much better off with a larger charging bed though, like the original Samsung charger. Or, better yet (especially if you're wanting a "stand-up" type of charger), the Nokia DT-910 works perfectly. Regardless, just remember that the sweet spot (which is the area you center on your charger) is unusually low on the N6. You want the center of your charger to be centered horizontally on the N6, but vertically, be just below the bottom of the volume rocker.
I have the Orb and it works fine. The other person was correct when he said it doesn't stick in place as well. You have to be slightly careful how you place it or it might slide down so that the phone is resting on the table but once it is on it stays in place.
I have read the Tylt charger works well.(http://www.amazon.com/TYLT-Wireless-Charger-all-Phones/dp/B00DG8NUC8) I am considering getting one even though they are really expensive so I can simply plop my phone down without having to think about it at all and know it will work fine and not fall off.
I do have the flat nokia dt-900 and it works well and isn't fussy about placement. With the amoled screen I want it tilted to use as a clock at night.
The Nokia DT-910 looks OK. Its about $35

I can vouch for that charger. Worked great on my N5, works perfect on my N6. It's such a great charger that when I bought my N6, and gave my wife my N5, I had to order another DT-910, because no way in hell she was getting mine.
OK I'm about to order the Nokia 910. And again it does work great with the Nexus 6 correct? Also what color is the LED on the stand when charging? Amazon has it for $49
Thanks!

Yes, it works perfectly with the N6. The LED on the bottom is white. It's very noticeable, but isn't "light up the room" bright like a lot of chargers.
OK ordered it from Amazon. Get it Tuesday same day as I get my Nexus 6
Duh I totally forgot to ask. Will this charger work the the Nexus 6 if its in a case?

I'm curious about how big does the N6 look while docked. I currently like mine laying down on a pad, but kind of curious of how tall it is when on a dock like that.

Has anybody found a good car dock for this? I've been using this one http://amzn.com/B0089VO7HE which I like quite a lot, but the charge port is obscured by those rests at the bottom. Also I think the One max is a bit too heavy for it, as it slowly angles down with time.
Anybody find a good car dock that works well with the One max? Most I find are either really bulky, with a bunch of adjustable joints, or would cover up the charge port or buttons on the side. Verizon's website says this http://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/windshield-mount fits it, but I was curious if anybody had found any others before I went ahead and bought this. All the reviews say this one seems to bounce around quite a lot as you drive.
I had a Ibolt with my note 2 and it worked great; no bouncing or shifting.
Dont know if they have one for the max yet, but here is what it looks like. You can email or call them and see though..

That looks pretty sweet. Looking at the one for the Galaxy S3/S4/Note 2/Note3 (http://amzn.com/B00AOCSFYC) it looks like it might work fine for the One max. You'd have to face the phone the other way so the top mount wasn't touching the power/volume buttons, but that shouldn't be a big deal.
they have a website and an 800 number you can call and ask about it

might want to be careful with getting one designed for samsung devices since they have a tendency to flip the usb port
i use the same one i used with my dna, which looks to be the same general design. and all i do is slide the phone over a little so the top brace doesnt sit on the power button
http://www.amazon.com/iBOLT-xProDock-Kit-for-HTC/dp/B00AOCUP6S
FWIW I just kept my Samsung dock (http://amzn.com/B0089VO7HE) and broke off the bottom right support, which was blocking the USB charge port on the One max. It doesn't look as good, but I melted the plastic with a lighter to remove most of the rough edges, so at least it's now functional, and can handle my DNA or my One max.
I sold my dock for my note 2 on Ebay when I got this phone..
wondering if there are any other car dock options out there, reasonably priced..
thanks!

But can you put the phone in the HTC dock while the case is on it? I have this case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G1PI73K/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I ordered this dock a few days ago; less than 1/2 the price, and it looks like it will fit with a case on the phone, as long as its 3.4 inches or less in total width..
Do people not have many tried and trusted docks they use? I'm using a universal tablet phablet car holder which is rubbish. It was fine back when I had a iPad mini. And my Xperia ZU because they had bigger bezels around screen but with this the 3 hooks take up a cm on phone plus its off centre as hooks would touch power button and vol. Do people have solutions. I have a HTC flip case at present and will most likely get a power flip case. But want a holder to allow for that.

I got this Proclip Extra Large Adjustable and hopefully won't have to get another even if my next phone is slightly bigger. It fits my One Max nicely with a TPU case and some room for growth. It says Note 2 and 3 which just means it's big. The phone slides in/out easily and has a little room in the back for air flow. No problem plugging/unplugging the charger.
The seller Crogs571 has been around these forums for a while and I've bought a couple other things from him.

I made my own dock with an old gps support and the belt otterbox defender support ...
Kind of curious: has anyone tried the G3 with an AirDock:
http://www.theairdock.com/
Wondering if the curved back presents any problems with adhering to the micro-suction surface of the dock.
I have one and the charging works great. Only issue is that if the pad or surface isn't clean the phone doesn't like to stay put. The surface is some kind of nano technology. In my opinion it needs to be improved and the magnets need to be improved. The curved back does limit the overall contact surface area but I am getting a new SUPCASE and I am hoping that the material will stick better.
I have the AirDock, and it does not work with my cheap, Chinese Qi charging sticker. The very same sticker works on my Tylt Vu, however. I'm curious what Qi receiver you guys are using.
Thanks!
I found a couple of posts here on XDA that indicated the magnets in the Air Dock interfere with the Qi stickers. Air Dock (the company) doesn't recommend the mount for use with the G3.

Though on their website it clearly says supported (with additional hardware.) I assume this to mean with the QuickCircle charging case, which is horrendous and annoying. You are spot-on regarding the magnets. I asked if those can be removed, and support responded that they are necessary to keep the phone from sliding off. I am not convinced that is the case on the G3, because the phone slides off VERY easily without some sort of flat-back.
Sounds like G3 owners should just wait it out...
Me:
Howdy Howdy!
I noticed that the LG G3 is officially 'supported' (with additional hardware,) on your site, and I was curious if any developments have been made? I am still using the cheap Chinese sticker with my Tylt Vu, but of course that doesn't work on my original AirDock. Is there a recommended charging sticker, or do you guys still recommend the Circle case?
In all honesty, it's hard to recommend the naked G3 on the AirDock, because it can barely hold it. I have to clean my foam almost daily for it to stick, because the phone's back is curved. My friends with flat-back phones never seem to ever clean the foam and it works great.
Thank you!

Hi Steven,
There are a couple things that are going to be better about Version 2.0 and the G3.
The transmitter in V2.0 will work well with that aftermarket receiver sticker. That's the biggest difference. It's an upgraded transmitter from V1.0
We will also be supplying a special version of V2.0 that will be curved to match the back of your G3 so that you can have the same grip strength as your flat backed phone owning friends!
Thanks
Me:
Whoa, that's awesome! I wish there was a trade-in option because I've been pretty bummed about this one, despite getting a few friends to pick one up for their more well-suited phones.
Thank you for the update!
Sounds great, but I already came up with my own solution. I grafted the Qi charger and phone clamp from this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M685JTG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (made by the same company as the Tylt Vu)
With the sticks-anywhere micro suction base of this:
http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Windsh...UTF8&qid=1417825105&sr=8-1&keywords=iottie+xl
My only real complaint is that the Qi emits a shrill beeeeep every time it gets power (i.e., when I turn the car on).
But if the Air Dock 2 described above had been available, I probably would have bought that one. Good news for future buyers.

I have the original airdock and have been using it with my G3 with no problems. I have a thin ringke case and use the airdock sticker and it charges fine. I'm considering getting the LG g3 slim guard case because I don't like having the sticker on my phone. I read someone on here write that the LG g3 slim guard case sticks to the airdock.
What Qi receiver are you using?
I'm using a replacement battery cover with qi sticker that I bought on Amazon. I'm guessing the company puts the sticker on an oem battery cover but it has qi and nfc

Strange, then you are the first with an AirDock to get it working with the Qi sticker. I have followed the threads very closely, and even AirDock says it won't work. Do you have a link to the sticker/cover you bought?

I do... But I don't think I can post it. But if you go to Amazon the seller is 38 Ave. It's an oem battery cover with qi and nfc. I also just ordered the LG g3 slim guard case. I've read it works and sticks to the airdock.
I finally received the original LG g3 slim guard case. It is for the US version. It works great with the airdock. Sticks to it and charges it with no issues.

When you drive with GPS on, screen on, streaming music over bluetooth, does your battery stay charged? Mine won't even do that with a 2-amp USB connection. :/

Regardless of the input to the Qi charger, current Qi coils output at most 1 amp. But to answer your question, no, mine slowly discharges under the conditions you describe. If you're doing that for a long period, unplug the cable from the dock and plug it into your phone.

Dang. That's the entire time I've driving -- always. I should have done more research on Qi before ordering the sticker or any of these chargers. My Tylt has an almost impossible time keeping my phone charged when streaming and keeping the screen on at work. Nothing else going. Just heats up like crazy.

I don't seem to have any issues when I'm not streaming or using GPS. Just keeping the screen on seems to be fine. Make sure you're using a good USB cable. I found a couple of cheap ones I had wouldn't keep the phone charging consistently - it would keep cycling in and out of charge / discharge modes.
This won't help now, but there's a new Qi standard in development that is supposed to provide higher rates of charge. I do wonder how they'll deal with the extra heat, though.
Anyone know if the airdock 2.0 holds the n6 very well?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2946839
The Indiegogo site says that it works with the Nexus 6. Since it has not been released for anyone to verify, I would trust the maker of the Air Dock 2.0. It is an amazing dock that is built a good reputation, I would not think that they are going to make claims that they can not backup. Ordered my Super Early Bird, will let you know as soon as mine arrives.

The 2.0 version ships in February. I have the original (ordered it from Indiegogo too) and it does not hold the Nexus 6.
The video they have up on the site shows the N6 being used, shows him taking it off and putting it on. Of course that doesn't exactly show us how strong the hold it, but it at least holds...

I won't disagree with you when you say it doesn't work with yours, but I got my n6 on nov 30 and have been using my airdock without issue so far. granted, I would never put money behind it never falling off, but after thoroughly cleaning it the first day with an alcohol wipe it's been working and has never slipped/turned/fallen off so far.
it's not vertical though, I have it on the extended arm airdock sells and it's tilted back a bit.. ymmv
The 2.0 looks cool, but it's going to have the same problem as the original - it's a flat surface and the N6 is curved.
I'm hoping the rumors of the AirDock creator making some type of adapter for the N6 are true.

If you are going to be using the Nexus 6, then we ought to get you the Nexus 6 version of Air Dock 2.0 We are just about done developing a curved face for the Air Dock.

Only thing I don't like about the tylt is there is no place to plug in a charger at the bottom for when I wanna charge my phone faster than wireless and use my quick charge 2.0 charger. Bummer
At $110 I have left the Airdock far far behind. There are equivalent docks out there for less than half that price. iOttie for one, itian for another, and even the over-priced Tylt is less than this. I suspect airDock is not long for this world.
Does anyone have the Airdock 2 yet? Does it work as well as they say it does?
I'm also curious about how stable the long flexible arm is. Does it jiggle a lot?
My Airdock 2.0 finally came in today after a long delay.
It seems to stick to the Nexus 6 very well. I was a bit worried considering the N6 doesn't have the metal discs in the back like the N5 did. Asticker with metal discs embedded is provided, but I'm not sure I want a big sticker on the back of my phone though...
The dock is concave to fit the curvature of the back of the N6. The one downside to that is you can't put the phone is landscape unless you rotate the dock 90 degrees. Since the ball on the mount fits into a 45 degree elbow connector, I haven't figured out a way to angle the dock so it sits level. I may have to play around with it a bit longer to find the right setup.
I can update this post with some photos if anyone is interested.

Yes, I got a tracking number.
I went with the CD mount as I don't use CD's in my car. I also have the long flexible mount and the standard mount from my Air Dock 1.0 purchase.
I don't use a case so I can't comment on how that works.
The sticker is as thick as a normal sticker.
So a while back I ordered two moto stands because they were on sale. I hardly use one of them so I decided to modify one.
This is what I came up with because I had been wanting a qi wireless stand. It was a lot easier than I thought.
Took apart one of the stands. Under the pad are just four lil screws, then just clipped off a couple of tabs so that it can lay flat on the back of the qi charger.
I didnt want to use super glue to stick them together, then I remembered I had some adhesive for cell phone screens and that stuff is strong, for being super thin (i think 1/16)
Here are some pics. Works awesome and looks good.
Looks nice. I like it. Props on the creativity.
oh btw i took the pics with my N6 lol
I might try this with mine, I mainly use it for holding my phone when I do work but this is a good idea.
This inspired me. I just bought all of the stuff to do this.

With this setup, it only charges while it's standing up. I wanted it to charge both ways standing and laying on the side. But now I like that I can lay it on its side after its done charging, without it continuing to charge.

It's possible, the charger would just need to be lower. Or if you had one of those rectangular ones that have like 3 coils. I think theres one on amazon that I saw thats the same thickness as this round one.

I dont think it would make a difference with that charger, I tried it that way and it wouldn't charge the phone sideways.

Just got a nexus 6 and i see that this stand is on sale.
Does the charging pad work with the N6 in that position?

with this setup, it will only charge in the portrait position and yes works perfect with the N6
Too many threads, which qi car charger holder have you tried that actually works with this beast please. Others have had to customise and diy but am useless at diy?

I'm using the Qi-infinity dock from Amazon. It works fine. I actually have a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case on there. Although I haven't tested it to the extent of charging it while running GPS, BT and all that simultaneously.

Is there plenty of room to plug an external charger into the bottom of the nexus 6 if you need some extra power?
That looks very similar to one I just bought. Does the cradle push down on the volume down button?

Same question, does it push down on power and volume buttons?

I have used this Dock from Amazon for over a month and works great. The side arm will push down on the volume down button unfortunately. The arm can be modified to avoid this, or use a case with cut-outs for the buttons (I use Spigen slim fit cases).
The dock works great though

No, it doesn't. There is an opening on the bottom for you to plug in a USB. It doesn't push down on the buttons either.
I can't choose between Tylt and iOttie.
Any ideas?

Get the Tylt. The thing I've noticed about wireless chargers is the more expensive ones always work. I guess that's why I've got a Nokia and a Tylt for the car.

Yeah, but iOttie is only 4 cents cheaper
How aboit heating and charging time in Tylt? If screen phone is off, how long does it take to go from for example 10% to 60%?

It chargers very quickly. The desktop Nokia I use takes much longer in comparison but I've been using it for years now, had a DNA and a g2 after that, now a N6. The Tylt is just a quality piece and looks great too.
The reviews on Amazon say that the Tylt Vu car charger doesn't work very well with the Nexus 6. The claims seem to be about how well it actually grips and holds the phone (and not so much about charging or feeling cheap).
I've got iOttie already. When plug in motorola stock charger then it charges 50% in about 90 minutes. Grip is very good. No risk of drop. Battery during the charging is cold. Tomorrow I'll try a car charger.
I have the Ghostek Qi car charger coming today from amazon. I'll post pics when it gets here.

Apparently the Nexus 6 fits without a case pretty tightly. I'll know more once I try it myself. $29.99 is one of the better prices I have seen.

It grips and holds the phone fine naked and with a thin case. Using it with my Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro rugged case works but its jammed in there.
I can tell you which one not to buy, even know it has a ton of good reviews.

It's got a terrible sweet spot that has the phone off centered. The pad itself feels like it came right off the .99 cent ship from China. I'm returning it as we speak and getting something more quality. Just wanted to let you know in case the 25 dollar and almost 5 star review enticed anyone. Hopefully the next one will be better.
I read a few reviews about the phone over heating on the tylt....can anyone confirm or deny that? It looks quality and I'm also wondering if it has to be set exactly in place or if it has some wiggle room. Thanks in advance.

I use this one .If I leave my distronic slim fit on it pops on and off charging.Take off the case and it works fine. It does touch the bottom volume button but hasn't been a problem.
