Portable Wireless Charger - Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

I was wondering if anyone has found a good portable wireless charge?
I might just take the risk and get either...
Wireless Portable Charger, Hokonui 10000mAh 10W
--OR--
No Branded - Wireless Portable Charger
Criteria
Battery Indicator
10W fast charge
Optional - flash light
Thanks!

FWIW, these will not charge the Pixel 3 at 10w. The Pixel 3 does not support qi fast charge; it uses a proprietary technology.

So just so you all know, slow wireless charging is like 300-500mah... The pixel charger is like 400-600. It's not that much of a difference other than what the phone says fast or slow.

slow charging is actually better in this case: Less heat from induction.

Question for anyone using wireless charging. Those magnetic car phone holders need a metal plate on the back of the phone. Does that plate interfere with wireless charging for you guys?

I've read it does.

Just for data point purposes. I tried it in a BMW F80 M3 and the wireless charging works even with a Scosche metal plate in the back of the phone. It's the smaller plate.

Of course it charges "slowly" because it's not a Google charger. When are they releasing the patch to allow fast charging for other chargers? This plate chargers an iPhone X quickly, so it should have enough juice.

I picked up the Hokonui wireless portable charger works great for wireless charging is honestly fine right now, I have a thick Pixel 2XL case which in turn means both my Pixel Stand and that portable power bank charge slow, I can update on that when I get a new case this month.

Only if the plate sits right over the charging coils - I have the Nillkin Magnetic Wireless In-Car Charger https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07CHKW7Q2 and it has a thin U-shaped metal plate that I have stuck to the inside of my Pixel 3 case. It holds pretty well and charges fast enough for my needs.

[Q] 2A wireless car charger

Anyone seen it?
The ones sold are 1A which is rather slow for charging, i plan on using it for GPS + music so i'm not sure if 1A is enough to charge it.
The only 2A wireless i've found is this:

For those who bought it, how thick is it?
I'm thinking of combining it with brodit / ibolt dock....
Ohh, you can purchase a USB car charger with two USB ports. So you can charge you phone with your USB charging cable and also charge your GPS or Tablet.

I meant i use GPS and music on my note 3, So it will charge very slowly or maybe not charging at all if i use 1A wireless
There are a few threads that cover wireless charging. You find some info there. You are not likely to find a 2Amp wireless charger.
- Wireless charging will be slower than wired.
- It is more inefficient and produces more heat
- Most devices are limited to charging at something under 1Amp or even 500mA (as to minimize the heat produced).
- A custom kernel may be able to raise the charging ability of the device, but probably not over 1Amp.
No matter what you do 640ma is the charging current so a 1 amp charger will work fine

2Amp charger powers the pad. The pad puts out 1Amp to the device.
Like I said there are threads discussing wireless chargers in this and in the Note 2 section. The Note 2 section is little older and has lots of info. It even discuss that Samsung charger.

Do you have a Magnetic Charger / Dock ?

Hei Guys,
there are already a few threads about this Topic, i.e. :
[Q] How fast does it the charging dock actually charge?
Charging dock for $15.50
Xperia Z2 Dock and Car Dock
Aluminum Magnetic USB Charging
Now there is one more, with a Poll! Why?
I want a thread where people could post if they have problems of slow charging with their docks/magnetic plugs. Important is to mention what ROM/Kernel you use and where they bought the charger. Also don't forget to mention what wallcharger you use, as most dock/cable come with USB connector only.
i'll make the first step:
i bought this dock from Ebay for 9 bucks.
Using Stock .402 Firmware with some xposed modules and Doomkernel v09
Official 1.5A Sony Wallcharger for europe and the same Cable into the MicroUSB port!
it takes around 7hours to charge from 1% to 75% ! Way longer than via microUSB port on the phone.
here a few pictures from the inside of the dock.... it's just a magnetic plug placed right^^

I want an other option that says "Yes I have a magnetic charger but the plug got torn off by the magnet". Other than that when it actually worked it was really fast.

I've the Sony dock, it's charging fast whatever the charger.
I've a magnetic cable/plug (sony is written on it but I think it's actually noname), it's charging slow with the stock charger (1.5A), but with 2A chagers (I've 2 differents ones), it's quite fast.
I should do timed experiments but I'm too lazy
Just got the sony dock and have a slim case. The magnet is too weak and the dock won't allow it to connect to my phone. It's very shallow also so the phone falls back.
I also got a cheap ebay dk36 knockoff. It seems to charge normally but I haven't timed it yet.
With my 1.8A blackberry charger I believe my phone charged via USB direct from 15%-97% in about 2.5hrs. Is that normal?
When my battery runs down I'll check how long it takes to do the same on my knockoff dock and let you guys know.
My knockoff looks legit though. I have the dk31 official dock and the plastic inserts fit like a glove. I want to say I have an oem knockoff just without branding. 'Twas a pretty good knockoff for $8

Okay so I plugged my Blackberry 1.8A charger into my knockoff dock today and went from 13%-98% in 2.5 hours so it looks like the dock I bought is not as crappy as the OP's lol. Look like mine is just a pass thru for the charging cable which is perfect. Like I said I also have the OEM DK-31 and my knockoff is identical in build quality to the OEM part which leads me to think I got just an unbranded Sony dock. Another thing I noticed is that the DK-30, 31 seem to all be the exact same minus the little insert they include with each one. The DK-36 is like the others but has no built in usb cable which I prefer because then the cables I actually have are what control the power I'm sending to the dock.
Here is the one I bought.

Wireless charger

I had two chinese W.C that worked pretty well with my old nexus 5 now with my new G3 i can't make them work properly...both of them start charging for 10'' then they stop and they starting again and this is happening all the time...
I dissasemply one and put the grid right above my G3 back cover and its doing the same...
why they aren't compatible with my G3??they are low on power?or simply aren't compatible with my G3??thanks!
Just watch a review about the original LG wireless charger...with 1-Amp it does that same thing but when using G3 own 1.8-amp charger, it works fine. So it just seems to get too less power...

1500 mah is the same as 1.5 Amp. That's referring to the power of the charger you connect it to. If you connect that charging puck to a 1 amp (1000 ma) charger, or less, it will do what you describe.
Also try different USB cables. I've found some cables just don't transfer enough power, and cause the same problem.
i have stock wireless chager .. its good :good:
So is the trick here just to use the charging cable and AC adapter that came with the G3?
The Powerbot charging station I got works fine under any condition with my Nexus 7, but I get the above described error with my G3. I tried different cable and AC adapter combinations to no avail (not sure if I tried my LG cable with adapter on this one). Plugged into my work computer with one of the USB cables that came with it, it worked fine. For one day. The next day, it kept giving me problems again so not sure if it’s just the phone, some annoyingly precise placement, or just the charger itself (again, no problems with the Nexus 7).
I just received the ChoeTech wireless 3-coil wireless charger today. With the included cable plugged into my work computer, it was giving me problems. With the short cable that came with the Powerbot, my phone is now charging.
This off and on is kind of a headache.

[Q] Best car charger with quick charge?

Hey guys, just wanted to know if anyone could recommend a brand that offers 2.0 quick charge on the go. I did some homework and the names Powermod and PureGear seem to pop up the most. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
I had the powermod and it was slightly too small for my car outlet so if you bumped it then it would stop charging. I think I had a lemon but anyway I bought the incipio one and haven't looked back
Also, can I use any USB cable to receive the turbo charge? I'd hate to keep hauling around cables from my house back into my car.
http://www.amazon.com/Ventev-dashport-Charger-Single-Includes/dp/B00QU9DEBW
I have this and it's great. It's got a very low profile, came with a flat cable, has an LED light (albeit not very visible), and definitely charges quickly. Highly recommended.

Can you post a picture of the cable? Do they sell it separately? I was going to buy that one but it was hard to find back when I got my original QC 2.0 charger on early December.

Here's some pictures for you guys. Can't say enough good things. And I'm not sure if you can get the cable on it's own.

It's the Nexus version with a maximum output of 4.000 mA.

That's not a quick charge 2.0 charger its just a regular car charger.

I use this one as well. Any USB cable will work. I tried an old ASUS cable with my wife's Note 4 and it said a quick charger was enabled. That flat gray cable it comes with is really stiff and I drive a manual so it was always getting in my way when shifting. I switched to an old USB cable I have that's more floppy.
This doesn't sit flush with the port though even though the design makes it kind of look like it does. It sticks out about a centimeter or so. It would be super hard to get out of the vehicle if it sat flush.
Thanks for all the replies! i've decided i'm gonna go with the PureGear
http://www.amazon.com/PureGear-Qualcomm-Charge-Extreme-Charger/dp/B00QQPG57K
Pretty cheap on amazon and I like the design, will report back with my opinion on how it works
Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but does anyone know a very good quick charge 2.0 car charger with at least 2 USB ports? One port could be quick charge 2.0 and the other port could be normal or whatever.
I saw the choe one that has 4 points but its getting mixed reviews and I don't think I really need 4.
Thanks guys.
Yes just buy a power converter and use the OEM wall fast charger that came with phone.
Definitely not trying that in my car....
There made for cigarette lighters. Its perfectly normal. Most new cars have them built in.
I wanted to get the Ventev dashport charger, but they seem to be out everywhere, or ridiculously expensive in the places that do have them.
I want to try and get one thats as flush with the socket as possible, because theres already very little room in that spot in my car.
Found these two:
Aukey 4.8A / 24W Dual USB Car Charger Adapter for Apple and Android Devices (The Smallest but Most Powerful Car Charger in the World)
SCOSCHE USBC242M 12 Watt USB Car Charger for iPhone/iPad/iPod Lightning/Micro
I admittedly don't know much about, and neither of these are QC2. I was just wondering if anyone has used, or knows if they would work good. Would there be much of a diff between them and a QC2 one?

Question Brand new Nord 2 charging very slow.

Hello, I just got this phone a couple of days ago, basically i migrated from a OnePlus 6 to this Nord 2 and I'm liking it very much so far for the price all things considered, tedious bugs and all.
The gist of it, is it normal for it to charge this slow? I'm using my old 20w dash charge adapter, because imported it from the UK, it came with said adapter and my country does not support that kind of wall plug outlet and I refuse to use an adapter/extender because it won't stick to the wall it's just too heavy.
Did some reading, and I disabled optimized night charging/high performance mode. I figured using an old adapter would be slower than the new one, but are those readings normal?
Also i noticed the Warp Charge animation appears on lock screen but just the blue bubble then it disappears, no Warp Charge logo.
I plan on getting both wall and car warp chargers, in the meantime I'll be using my regular 20w dash chargers.
Thanks in advance.

I can at least confirm that the original second (and last?) generation carplug (12V charger) is also veeeeeeeeeeery slow. It takes at least 2,5 hours from 0 to 100. The 230V plug charges 0-100 in exactly 29 minutes
You need S-VOC/DASH/WARP charger.

I'm getting 500mA (2.5W USB base current) when asleep, and 1A (5W) when awake. It's definitely buggy, should always pull 1A even when the screen is off. The phone doesn't seem to have PD, so there's no way to get 15/18W on ordinary PD charger.
Remember that accubattery only reads from a single cell of your battery;
The OPN2 has 2 cells and charges both simultaneously, so it's likely accubattery is only reporting half speed, to one cell, and isn't detecting charge to the other cell, which is half of the battery in this case.
For example, accubattery will likely report your battery health/capacity is only 50% (more often lower), because each cell is 2250 mah, and the total advertised design capacity of the OPN2 is 4500 mah, but is really 2250 mah per cell, and has 2 cells.
This is part of oneplus's warp charge technology, which is really just a rebrand of their sister company's, but it's essentially a 32.5w charge to both cells, which is much easier than providing 65w to a single cell.
Also, do note warp charge only works with the official red cable and the official oneplus charger provided in the box, as the charging circuit in the cable and charger will limit your speed with third party charger/cables as they have not been verified to handle these charging speeds.
Funnily enough even if you have an OPPO cable and charger, which utilizes the same technology, warp charge on oneplus phones still won't activate and it'll charge at a much slower 20w (10w per cell)

VOOC 2.0 (20W 5V/4A) vs S-VOOC 2.0 (65W 10V/6.5A). The OS reported current is always current over both cells, whether it be parallel or in series depends on VOOC version.
