Everyone says the wireless charging spot is kind of hard to line up with chargers.. Has anyone tried this charger with the nexus 6 and confirm it works?
How much was shipping?
Use promo code CYBER2014 and free us postal service shipping
Have been wanting to buy one since I got my nexus 5 but could never justify the price...but $35 bucks shipped....sold....now just need my nexus 6 to ship.
Damn! I just ordered 3 of those itian 6 knockoffs. Oh well. At least they seem great so far too.

I've been using the Vu for a year with my Nexus 7, and on the Nexus 6 since it came in the mail. I haven't had a single charging or overheating issue. Since the Vu is a dock instead of a puck, there's no extra step of lining up the phone if you place it in portrait mode.
Got a flat AUX cable. Was going to also get a flat USB cable but do they support fast charging? I'm guessing not since they offer data connections too.

When I was researching last year for my nexus 5, you had to place it bottom then lay it back on charger or it had heating issues...hopefully nexus 6 isn't so picky
Thanks for the heads up! I've been waiting for the Tylt to go on sale!!! Ordered two of them! :good:
Picked one of these up earlier this week on sale. So far its a great charger for the N6
Not working for me. Says not a valid coupon. Guess you guys got lucky cause it's not supposed to go live until midnight.
*edit
Never mind. Worked after switching to IE 11 from Chrome.
Thanks OP!
I just bought one on Amazon using a gift card I had. I may buy a second and return the Amazon one.
Dammit, no shipping to Spain ?

I did not experience this with my N5 in the last...I was able to place it any manner on the Vu w/out challenges.
Looking forward to seeing the pair work together for sure.
Thanks for the heads up, now I just need the damn phone.
Ordered a black one, now I need to send my blue one back to amazon when it arrives.
Thanks just ordered 1.

did you notice the micro hdmi cable for 15 cents?!?! Bought 2 for $6!!!????! Is that cheap? I have never bought each table before so I am not sure what is the proper pricing on items like this.

Big box retailers would have you believe they are quite expensive. The opposite is in fact true, they have a HUGE markup on any cable. This has been a truism for quite a long time. Your best bet is to go with Amazon or Monoprice for all your cable needs, emphasis on Monoprice. They almost always have the best price and have always been good quality for me, and likely others on this forum.

They all look the same but they're not all built the same. When I had a G2X about a dozen people had their devices fried using micro-HDMI cables all purchased from the same discount vendor on Amazon. High-end like Monster's a total waste and overkill but the cheap Chinese specials can end up costing you a fortune if they short out. If something's to good to be true, it usually is.

Exact same thing happened to me. I was just trying to get in line for a later batch of Primes. Didn't really want another one immediately. We'll see on Monday.
I just wish I could find a dock at Amazon. For MSRP that is.
I bought one for 523 (it was a refurbed one so for a brand new one in AG) on the 7th of this month.. So i said screw this im sending it back. Ill be getting back 514 and the new one i just ordered will cost me 503.. hopefully i placed my order soon enough
EVERYONE cross your fingers PLZZZZ
lol
So im excited to say the least. And I know of all the problems others have had. But I liked the one I had.

Couldn't help but see this statement and laugh. Monster and High-end should never ever be in the same sentence together. Their products are absolute garbage, but unfortunately somehow they have managed to achieve this pseudo-status of quality product in the US.
I have a cousin who has worked in pro audio for years and the name Monster is one that leaves a bad taste in the mouth from their awful lies to consumers.
I am not sure this is a big deal anymore. At least in SoCal, seems they are available here and there. Bought one a few weeks back off the shelf at Microcenter but returned it due to wifi and lockup issues.
At this point seems like the wise move is to wait for the next one coming out in 2nd quarter 2012 or look at an ipad3, or next Galaxy.
For the price of the Prime it shouldn't have the issues it has - big disappointment.
Interesting. My old car had AUX and buying any other brand of cable resulted in an awful sound within weeks if not months if the cable didn't completely degrade early on. Spent $5 more for Monster cable and that thing lasted me for 3 years before getting my new car with BT and the sound was great.
The only Monster product I ever bought and it completely murdered every other brand at Best Buy that manufactured aux cables.

I got a monster component video cable on Amazon for $15 to use for my Youtube recording, and aside from that thing being a thick heavy snake, it performed basically the same as a cheaper cable. That thing is so heavy that you could kill someone with it if you swung it hard enough. I suppose reliability is bulky
Cables matter if their analogue but not so much if there digital like hdmi

Just wanted to see what everyone was using. I purchased the TYLT Vu. It's a little expensive bit I wanted one that could charge while being on landscape.
I've got three of those in one of the newer cheaper versions of that call the a6 then another company makes. You'll find it on Amazon. Both of them work perfectly with the g3 in landscape and portrait.

Typically, they're all the same. With the one you posted, its all plastic shell which gives more real estate for the phone to rest on. Inside is just a coil and PCB board. I think there is a YouTube video of someone opening one of these up.
I opted for a smaller profile (I purchased similar for $1 more). I'll be ordering from this one soon - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qi-Wireless...l_Phone_PDA_Chargers&var=&hash=item2ed4c6f705. And it ships from the US. No long wait time.
But the one you linked to is a great price.

I was looking at those "hockey puck" ones and I like how it would take up less desk space... Found one here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/UL-Qi-Stand...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item19f0d9b650 ... but I like how the other one seems thinner and I think I would have less of a chance knocking it off than if it was balancing on that puck... I'm not too worried about time since I just ordered one of these qi stickers: http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6173009396.html today and will probably have to wait half a month any ways haha

Good point. I just received my "hockey puck". Just in time for me to test out the Qi stickers.
Could of gotten in on my group buy for the stickers. I ordered 100 and should have it next week. Sold out of all of them in a day and they should be mailed out to everyone late next week.
Seems there is still demand for them so I'm about to place another order for 100. BTW, I've been in constant contact with the manufacturer..they've been sold out so it will take some time. But since I'm ordering so much, they'll be able to accommodate my order quicker.
Yeah I saw I missed out, that's ok, I can wait. It didn't say when I was ordering that they were sold out.

Yea, it doesn't say when you order. One thing I don't like is that it takes 1 day to process payment verification, 5 days to process order and another 15-26 days to ship. Luckily with this group buy, no one has to wait that long.
But if you do get that Qi charger, definitely let us know. Great price but to me, its just too big.

I ended up ordering that first one I linked to so I'll report back once I get everything (lol ETA between Aug 15 - Sept 28).
I use the TYLT Vu at work and a Nokia DT-900 at the house... Both work very well
New, stronger, more expensive Qi chargers are coming out this fall: http://www.androidauthority.com/qi-wireless-v1-2-improves-412408/
So, I finally received my sticker, and now I can wireless charge (yay), but my only Qi Charging Pad is the flat crappy Ebay one.
I'd like to get something similar to the Tylt Vu, at a reasonable price. Anyone have experience with:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/QI-Wireless...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item4adb780ae4
or
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-LG-WCD-...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item339185d666
I'm new to the wireless charging game, and I'm not sure how the compatibility works.
Thanks ahead of time for helping!

I totally agree with you.
I have the Nokia DT-900 and it works great on my Sprint G3, but have been unsuccessful thus far at finding any others that work as well.
I have a CHOE UPGRADED Qi Wireless Charger Charging Pad coming today. A colleague at work has it, and the phone tends to charge more often than not (if you get it in the sweet spot (hot zone)).
Good thing I have an Amazon prime account and return shipping is free! I've been doing quite a bit of buying and returning lately.

Itian A6. It's a TYLT Vu clone and works. If you take the time to browse the forums or search, you'll see

I went to http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/accessories/feeler-buy-qi-nfc-sticker-t2827738 and did a search for "itian a6"
Chargers using the new Qi spec should be coming later this year, so I think spending a lot of money now on something very soon to be outdated is not a good idea. I'm sticking with the $10-$15 ones that can be found on eBay. As long as they output 1000mA they're good enough for now.

Hey guys I just wanted to share with you a PMA enabled battery door that will allow you to wirelessly charge your G3 with a Powermat charger. Here is a link:
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...2-Housing-Shell-with/1628681_32274550167.html
I just ordered one yesterday, they are $30USD with free shipping from China. When I receive mine I will let you know what I think.
IMO this is a much better option than the stickers you can get. With the stickers you have to butcher your stock backplate which could complicate warranty issues. This way you're getting a new door and you don't need to worry about how to align the sticker properly and such.
I also ordered 3 Powermat chargers from Amazon.com. They were $4 each and shipping for all 3 combined was about $5. I shipped them to CBI on the US side of the border and I will pick them up in a couple of weeks.
Anyhow, I just thought I would share about a cheap/good way to get wireless charging with your G3.
You can also get this one in the us for the same price. I bought it because I didn't have to wait for shipping from China. It's been working great for months.

I don't have anything to compare it to as it's the only one I've ever used, but it has worked flawlessly. I suggested the one from amazon because you said you were shipping to the US and then picking up. Either way, it's an option and I know it works.
Post back when you get the one you ordered. I'm curious to see if it causes the battery door to bulge like mine. That's the only downside.
