I'm having problems to find a good wireless charger for my s20u... the camera module gives me issue with my old anker charger (it leaves some space between the charger and the phone) and it takes forever to fully charge it (like 6 hours from 5 to 100%). Any of u using a wireless charger that works fine with s20u? If possible, I'm looking for one that doesnt keep the phone standing up, I rather have a pad. Thanks!
I use the official Samsung one that stands up. It's like $80, but has a cooling fan and works great.

I really dont like the ones standing up because i often use the phone while charging and im worried it might fall down, anyway can you give me the exact code name of the one you're using? There are so many different chargers from Samsung. Thanks!

Thanks! I noticed its not made for the s20 ultra tho, and in the samsung page reviews:
"Had this with no issues with my S10+. On the S20 Ultra, you can only charge in landscape mode which isn't helped with the Always on Display being in portrait. It's not an east or west alignment, it's I think the Qi pad in the phone is too high and the charger itself may be too low."
Do you have a problem like that?

I charge mine in portrait all the time. I've never tried landscape though. I can try landscape Monday and post an update as the charger sits on my desk at work.

I always use portait as well so would be fine, i just dont understand why that guy said it worked in landscape only though. I guess maybe because the camera module is so big that in interferes with the charge, like with my charger now... but it works for you so I really dunno!

Yea I use a case as well (ESR) but shouldnt the case make it even worse since it adds a layer? So you have some space between the phone and charger due to the module camera and also the case layer on top of that?

Yes thats the one I was hoping you had. The real question is: does it work? I just had to return the one i bought yesterday because it doesnt really work well with S20U, and if you check forums all over the world a lot of people have problems to use a wireless charger with S20U. Some are WAY slower than with S10+ (like both mine, the 700mAh difference doesnt make up for 2 hours extra time), others keep disconnecting while charging it... and since I cant keep returning the chargers, I was hoping to find someone who can confirm me something that works. I was suggested the totallee one, too bad they dont see them here in europe. :/

The one i have has no issues with the 3.0 quick charge it come with. I think to get the fast charge it needs to have Samsung adaptive fast charge or quick charge 3.0 brick. My phone was charged from 5% to 100% in 2 hours and 50 minutes.

I just stumbled across this while helping a buddy of mine find a decent case for his iPhone (yeah... I know. Don't get me started ) and I came across something that is pretty damn cool. At least in my opinion. It's available for the iPhone (because what isn't?) and Blackberry but not yet for the Google phones. Let's cross our fingers and see if maybe one day they will release a G1/MT3G version. It's a bit expensive, but extremely convenient and useful.
http://www.case-mate.com/iPhone-3G-Cases/Case-Mate-iPhone-3G--3GS-Fuel-Battery-Extender-Case.asp
I placed a suggestion and it appears that you can vote on an idea.
Perhaps if you are as hopeful as I am that they will release a model for the G1 you can encourage them by voting for it.
http://feedback.case-mate.com/pages/26011-product/suggestions/302086-make-a-google-g1-and-or-mt3g-fuel-holster?ref=title
Don't count on it. Our G1's are becoming outdated hardware and we may not see any more accessories or upgrades (donut) made for them anymore cause of it. I personally love this phone and would have bought the mt3g had it had a physical keyboard. I use the 3200mah extended battery and don't mind the size so much as not being able to use a belt holster. This is a nice product though, and if it was available for the g1, I would buy it.
It's the same concept as the motorola charger, but in a slick design and a belt holster. I'm sure you could build one out of the moto charger, but a larger battery would be more practical in my opinion.
wow, that is pretty big but for the extra battery it is worth it. The only problem is if they ever do make it for the g1 we wont be able to listen to music with it since it will cover the speaker and use up the headphone jack (unless you use ad2p)

On the contrary. There is another port that you can use to plug your headphones in and you can still use your headphones and even charge the charger while your phone is docked inside. It'll also work as a port to connect to your pc because it's miniusb like the one that is already used on the G1.

Yeah... those are nice, but I already carry two spare batteries in my pocket and I have a car charger but since I'm quite possibly the heaviest G1 user in the forum (yes I will accept any challenger!) it's still not enough. I can use up all three batteries during one shift at work (I work night security).

Anyone try Magnetor X... http://www.amazon.com/Magnector-Performance-Magnetic-Charging-Adapter/dp/B00JEN5S6A/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1412040478&sr=1-1
It seems like a great alternative to the dock... I don't want to always be taking out the thing to plug in... Magnetic and call it a day.\
I just bought three, arrived before my wife's Z3C (I'm getting the T-mobile Z3 when it's released). Look high quality enough.
I ordered one which it appears is in the same package as the phone so hopefully today or tomorrow. I'll report back if no-one else has by the time it arrives.
I heard these may not have enough clearance if you have certain cases on your phone.
clearance is limited, but the magnet has real bite - the only criticism is that it can lean away from the screen towards the rear of the phone, although that depends entirely how you hold it once attached - no led indicator, but the phone does that for you, and no issues as to the effectiveness of the charge (I've used 36% battery on the first day with moderate/reasonable use) - not perfect, just a lot better than you thought it would be......

One girl on here that I talk to said she's been using the magnetic charger on her Z2 and absolutely loves it! So I think it's worth buying (already did actually lol, but waiting for Z3 as I have the HTC One M8 right now until it gets released here in the U.S., so have to wait and see). Apparently it charges twice as fast as the regular USB wall charger does.

Right, I have one of these now and can report it's excellent. The magnet is pretty strong so holds to the phone well. Only problem I've found is that the Smart Connect app sees it as the same as the dock which is a little annoying as I used the dock at night to do things like turn off bluetooth and start Sleepbot etc.
I also bought an actual magnetic charging cable (this one: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/magnetic-charging-cable-sony-xperia-z3-z3-compact-z2-black-p41526.htm) and the magnet on that is far weaker and comes off if you touch the phone at all while charging.
I definitely recommend the Magnetor X
thanks! i definitely am going to try this!

3Shirts,
The cable I bought is this one, which is made by Magnector X: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JEMESHG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The reviews for it appear to be strongly favorable, so I am confident it will work great. What brand is the one you posted though? Can't find the maker name anywhere.
If you scroll down on mine, it says that Magnector makes this charger with Japanese parts not Chinese, so that may be the difference? Not sure. People who I've talked to on here who have the Z2 or Z3 and this charger cable say it's amazing too. So I definitely agree with your statement, though I have yet to try it out (I have the cable but waiting for Z3's release here in the U.S. lol).

Since it's also Magnector I would assume the magnets on that are as good as the ones on the adapter so it's probably great. Looks to basically the same but a fully wired version rather than being a microusb adapter like the OP.
I myself have also purchased this magnetic cable check out my review in the other magnetic cable thread. :good:

Deleted. Wrong thread.
Just tried mine. Works much much better then the cheap one I bought on ebay. The magnet keeps it in place if you move the phone around, when the cheap one would fall off.

I heard speeds are great. However, there are no data to support that claim. I bought both the Magnetor X wire and adapter to test out the sizes, convenience, etc.--they will be coming later this week. I am discharging my phone until it goes 1% or so, then charge with various cables and adapters I have in hand (including OEM). Then compare it with the Magnetor X.

sorry was typing too fast, and forgot to post the link...hope you like this...
Me device arrived yesterday, here a couple of first impressions:
+ Nice packaging/box.
+ Easy assembly, strong suction cup. Attached it to the dash of my jeep using no adhesive.
+ Using the Nexus 6 I drove for 20 minutes with Google Maps navigation, Bluetooth streaming music All-Access. Screen brightness set to auto. Battery went from 75% to 76%. Its not discharging like the HTC M7 Car kit.
- Initial impressions of quality is that the plastic material seems cheap. Considering the device is $80+tax.
- Its big and bulky, I am comparing it to official HTC Car kits for M7-M8.
- Proprietary power connector like the one on VÜ Wireless Charger. Have to be careful rotating the mount so the connector doesnt get damaged.
Adjust height so that it wont interfere with volume rockers.
When did you order yours? I ordered on the 3rd I believe and haven't even received shipping information
Where did you get this? The one on the website says it is only for use with phones up to 5.7 inches. Does this still work for the Nexus 6 or did you get it somewhere else?
Well, never mind, I now see in the description that it says it is compatible with the Nexus 6. Strange that they would then mention up to 5.7 inch phones.

I ordered mine on 2/3 in the evening. Arrived on 2/6. Ran another test with brightness blasted, GPS and BT. Doing that battery slowly drained.

Really wanted one of these, but a proprietary charger ? I have a cable I threaded through my dash to my last dock. I would have to do that again and find a new bluetooth receiver as it is in my switched plug.
Guess back to the drawing board.
This is end piece going into the device. Its molded to regular cigarette plug on the other end.

Last time I checked with iottie they said that the easy flex wireless wasn't officially supported with the Nexus 6. I have seen info on XDA about mods but I wanted a supported model. Iottie have a new model is in works, but this one is available now.
You run the Nexus 6 on max brightness, stream music using BT over LTE whilst navigating and it still charges? What is the amperage spec on the easy flex? I could look it up but lazy right now

It's 2.1 amp. I don't use my phone on full brightness ever, I usually have it at 50-75% brightness. It's officially made for the nexus 5 but works great with the 6.

It's 1amp at the most, unless they got nextgen Qi that no one knows about. They're both rated the same.

Yea I just double checked, you're right. The power cable it comes with is 2.1 I believe.

I might try to cancel the Vu if I can save a few and get the iOttie. I didn't even know about it. I'm not really happy with Tylt anyway, I ordered before this guy and my tracking info still just says "shipping label created". Thanks for sharing the pics.

For half the price you're better off witht the ottie. I ordered it through amazon for about $45.
The iOttie Easy Flex Wireless should accommodate 3.4 inch devices, and the Nexus 6 is only 3.27 inches. So it should fit.
I think the issues is in regards to the wireless charging capabilities. I think I've read that in some cases it couldn't charge because of the "fit".

Awesome, thanks for that.
I was going to ask this about the Tylt, but I think this answers my question.. I just gotta figure out if wireless can charge though the trident case. I've tried it on two QI chargers, no luck yet but I've only spent a few minutes trying to position it.

There is absolutely no problem with charging. I've had mine for over a month and haven't had a problem.
Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a car dock for my Nexus 6 similar to the pro clip or this fix2car mount http://www.holdersandmounts.co.uk/f...on-mount-dash-mount-with-usb-car-charger.html[1]
Basically my criteria are that I want to be able to take the phone in and out of the mount without having to attach the USB cable after. I want the USB cable to be fixed and the phone simply slides in to it.
The pro clip would cost me 150$+ and the fix2car one I linked would run me close to 70$. I'm looking for something about half that price.
Hope you guys can help!
Thanks
0 replies on XDA and on reddit, something tells me i'm about to drop a hundred bucks on a car mount... AGAIN!
PSA to anyone thinking about it: DO NOT get the airdock 2, it's a piece of poop and the phone falls off constantly.
If you must have the fixed plug, you could hack one in place with some JB Weld. A lot of guys did just that back in the "old" days.
Or suguru, that stuff works great for something like this. BTW, my airdock works great.

If you would like to charge your phone in a car dock without having to attach USB each time why don't you get the QI charging dock? It is about $35-$40 here in US, probably about same in UK. And will work with non-bulky case.

welllllllll the reason why im trying to avoid a QI charging dock (which btw is not a make or model but the technology, can you specify which model you're referring to?) is because i bought this neato quick charge usb lighter thingy and i'd like to be able to use quick charge..... wireless QI charging is pretty slow and when having the screen on, and steaming music, and using maps for nav, it doesn't actually gain any charge!

Nice find! I didn't know anyone made one like that for our Nexus 6.

Well, I am doing the same, streaming and navigating, with Nexus 6 in the dock, using 2.1A USB lighter thingy and it charges.
I am also aware QI is a technology and not a model. There are quite few of those. I am using this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N4H1R1M?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01

the problem is that QI will bottleneck your charging. using a quickcharge usb lighter thing will work via a cable but not through QI!
QI will support up to 15 watts of charging in the future, it was actually announced like a couple of weeks ago or something, so future models will support quick charging
I have quick charger at work and at home. In the car I need the dock I can use with minimum effort and without connecting/disconnecting USB frequently

Curious to know if you got the holder yet?
From the pictures on the site, it appears that one of the claws on the top lands directly on the power and/or volume buttons.
Would like to know if it interferes with proper operation?

it can if you have it completely tightened down, but you would not be able to pull the phone in and out if it was tightened down. the way i have it now is the clamp holds on to the lip of the phone but not so tightly that I can't easily put the phone in and out of the dock. The clamp does not press on the buttons, this way.
