The Note 2 external battery charger/stand looks nicer than the Note 1...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-8K3ipl8fI
It has a similar style to the GS3 desktop dock (which I have in black and use for my Note 1)

why didn't they have it charge the phone as well? seems like wasted opportunity. does the charger plugin into the wall? or usb?

Not worth it, there are many other cheaper options. This could have been a great device if they'd applied common sense and designed it such that it charged your phone at the same time. I think it's a stupid idea to remove your battery everyday to charge - that just greatly increases the chances that you'l break the phone.
Samsung needs to go back to the drawing board on this one. This is a really idiotic idea to put it kindly. I'll be getting the note, but I'll be avoiding this stupid dock at all costs!!!

This is not a dock. It is a battery charger that doubles as a stand. By not having a protruding USB connector, it allows the phone to be placed in landscape mode - great for movie watching.
The idea is not to remove the battery to charge it but rather to have a second battery ready and waiting, swapping them as needed I've been using this method with both my SG2s for about a year. The very flimsy plastic covers did withstand the abuse quite well.
I may or may not get this stand for the SGN2. The battery seems to last quite a long time, so I may not need to have a second one. Besides, the SG2 stand works well enough with the SGN2.
Having said this, not everyone will feel confortable with the constant removal of the cover and will prefer a "proper" phone charger/dock.

Yes, this setup is not for everyone, my main point was that it looks better than the external battery charger for the Note 1 battery, and for those that are familiar with it. It did the same thing, but looked cheaper and more like a generic no name unit you might buy off eBay.
If I had a spare battery, I'd rather charge it like this than have to use the phone.
If you want a dock, I use the GS3 one for my Note 1 and it works well.
There is no width restriction, so any phone with a usb port on the bottom should work. It even still works with the rubber gel case on my phone.
Audio out via the usb is handy too.

That would annoy me for everyday use.

I actually like this a lot. Even though it would've been nice if they also designed it as a dock, this fits into my current daily habits with the Photon.

That was my setup with OG Note and plan to do the same with N2.
No more situations were you just don't want to grab your phone because it's charging. Or take second spare with you if you need etc.
Just brilliant imo.

I just collected my Note II from the webshop and found that the 'old' (SGN) docking station can be used, applying some duck tape or other to compensate the slightly less wide & thinner design of the Note II.
The nice thing about the old docking station is that it charges the device and can be used on its side (movie watching) as well. There seems to be no similar docking station for the Note II available/planned so it really is the only way atm to charge in landscape mode (besides of course charging in portrait mode).

yep

I agree, I use my i9300 with an external charger and spare battery and it works great. Whenevef I drain my battery I just swap it out with my spare. I never have to plug my phone into a charger and wait for it to charge.

I have Anker Astro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmxnZqC5H8M

looks cumbersome to use, i would have to remove the note from the case, then remove the back. Id rather just use the wall charger.

But, if you have a spare battery you will need to remove the case and back cover anyway...
The only reason you would buy this charger is if you have a spare battery...It would be pointless to buy it if you only have 1 battery that could stay in your phone the whole time
If I had a spare battery, I'd rather charge it outside of the phone, rather than have to have my phone tied to the charger whilst I charge up 2 batteries.
Or, have the ability to charge up one battery in the phone and another in the external charger at the same time eg. 2 dead (or almost dead) batteries at the end of the day, go to sleep with the phone charger and the spare in the external charger, wake up and the phone and spare are ready to go. Without an external charger, you need to either wake up in the middle of the night to swap the batteries in your phone, or allow a couple of hours in the morning before you leave to charge the 2nd battery.

I have it by N7000. It is very simple with usb port. It is versatile with all smartphone, psp and compact camera. It has capacity of 5600 mAh and it is very small than large pack of gum.The full charge takes 6 hours

So I got one of these, doesn't come with wall plug or USB cable I am guessing it's designed to be used with the original note 2 wall charger? or will any USB wall charger work? Just worried about using a wall adaptor with the right amount of watts etc

From mobilefun's product description
Please note: The holder and battery charger doesn't come with a USB cable, in order to use the charging capabilities you would need to use the USB cable which comes with the phone.

I got the one from Samsung's online US store and it comes with .7 amp usb charger. But the unit itself will suck the appropriate power it needs so using the same charger that comes with your phone (2 amp charger) is fine.

I've got this stand and it's really nice, but I'd prefer to have one that charged the phone and the battery at the same time. Anyone see one of those? I don't need the full smart dock with USB connections ... though that would be nice if it also charged a spare battery.

Magnetic charger - would attaching the charger upside down do anything bad?

Some people have mentionned that attaching the magnetic charger the wrong way could have an ill effect on the phone. Is there any validity to this or is it just people spreading unbased rumors?
The pin holes are different shapes so that you can only properly connect it right side up, but some 3rd party chargers (including mine - the led charger) have the metal pins sticking out slightly beyond the safety holes, so the pins could make contact if I attach it wrong.
From a physics point of view, how is it any different from plugging in a plug into a wall outlet where the orientation of the plug is irrelevent?

it'll make your phone go BOOM, don't do it.

Riight, thanks

I'm a little worried about this though.. I could see myself accidently plugging it in wrong. I have the black version of the phone which looks very similar front and back, I feel like it's just a matter of time before I mess up :\ Maybe I'll try to trim the charer pins a bit with a diamond dremel bit..

It just shuts my phone down when I put it the wrong way. Works fine after turning back on.

I have the Magnector X charger and the pins are not sticking out. They are slightly below the plastic casing.

I put my Z1 the wrong way in my Brodit car holder (very good phone mount/holder by the way) and it just rebooted. It was no problem then

I also think there is no difference. I don't see any real facts about downside.

Haven't done anything bad with my phone it still charge as good, don't think it would matter at all

USB type c wireless charging pad finally available

Not sure if it will be any good but I have ordered on to see
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Type-C-...986680?hash=item4d44193db8:g:g2UAAOSwt7pXNIHp
There only seems to be one type ATM
and it supposedly charges at DC 5V/1000mA (depending obviously on the transmitting charger)
It's available from Amazon as well but they all link back to China
Early days, here's hoping I don't blow up my 5X
Yes it blocks the USB port but I always SMB stuff from my nas box so that's not a problem.

You're lucky if you ever get even 500mA out of it. Every Chinese Qi pad vendor overstates the power on their product. Still, nice to have the option. Let us know how it goes

Iiinteresting, ordered one of those through Amazon. Even if it's only 500mA it'll be nice to have, I just hope it doesn't mess with NFC stuff. Looks like it shouldn't given that the antenna for that is near the camera according to the manual.

The receiver coil looks bigger than the ones I've seen before so maybe 1 amp is a possibility, i'll let report when it eventually gets here.

Quick review
Got the pad now and here is my initial review
Clearly the photo on the advert is a bit of a lie as the coil is about half the size as you can see in the photo below.
The pad is situated to far too the top on the Nexus 5X and sticks out where the fingerprint reader is. This can be easily fixed by cutting a bit off the top, as the coil does not come right to the edge this can be done without ruining the receiver.
THe bit that plugs into the USB socket sticks out which is a bit annoying but not the end of the world.
On my Zens dual Qi charger it took just less than 4 hours to charge from 36% to full so it's not super fast but not that bad over night. The phone indicated slow charging and was AC charging by the battery usage page.
It seems to have no problem staying connected as long as you are aware where the coil is on the pad (towards the top) and has no problem charging through my case
It does not appear to interfere with the radio antenna at all so thats ok.
Also it's super slim so should not interfere with most cases
So in conclusion its fine for me as I rarely need to charge the phone except for overnight, and I have not been using the faster charger anyway.
In case anyone is wondering the case is a Nillkin Matte Super Shield Hard Shell Case which is super nice though the black was a mistake

Nice, thanks for the update. I'm still waiting on mine, it'll be nice to have wireless charging again.
edit: I did get mine today... it's a bit flaky at best, currently i'm blaming the qi charger, i've got a different one on the way.

Good to know it fits under a Nillkin case, as that's what I have for my Nexus 6P. I ordered a receiver on the 25th, hope I get it soon.

The charging on mine seems rock solid but the zens dual does have a pretty big target area to put the coil in.
See the screenshot below the charge looks pretty rock solid

While fiddling with it the qi pad I have it only really works when the thing is outside my case in one exact spot. So... given that it worked fine for someone else I went hunting on Amazon and found a better looking unit.
We'll see Saturday when it gets here if I chose the right one.

Woot, got a full charge overnight with the new qi pad so that old pad is basically crap.

How thick is the pad? I'm wondering if it would be possible to remove as many unnecessary part from it and try to fit it under the back cover of the phone. And also solder it directly to the charging board so that the USB would be still usable

it's not very thick at all and any generic Qi receiver would probably do as a few people already have.

There is padding over the battery on the back case you can remove if it's too thick

Has anyone else been having problems with theirs?
For a couple days now it's charged to full and then the next morning it'll be less than 100%. Yesterday it was at 89%, today it was at 93%. I did verify it was at 100% yesterday before I went to bed.

I don't have one of these, but I might have a possible explanation. I used to use a 0.7 amp or 1.0 amp charger for charging the 5X overnight. Seemed to work at first, but then it started showing less than 100% in the morning. What seemed to happen from the battery graph is it would charge to full, then start draining (slowly) and not top up again. So I think the low power just didn't trigger it to start charging again once the battery drained a little.
I put it on a 2 amp charger and it now is 100% in the morning. If your phone acts like mine, it might be due to the lower power from wireless charging.

Yeah.. I was kinda thinking that a little, good to see it confirmed. Not sure how much the pad was getting but the sending unit was only drawing ~1A so that's the issue there...
Oh well, it was a nice experiment, would have been better had it actually worked though. Back to the included charger it is then.

Just a note from years of experience with these Qi chargers:
There's some inherent loss in efficiency. Essentially, your wall charger is working to spin current around in a coil, which then by magnetic induction causes current to spin around another coil (in your phone), that then feeds into the battery. It's indirect, there's no contact, and some phone materials can even impede it (just one reason these stupid metal wannabe-iphones luddites keep demanding are a terrible idea ).
Bottom line is - you need a charger that's over an amp, closer to 2a if possible, to spin some of these Qi chargers up enough that it makes a large enough field to get to the Qi coil in your phone and charge it efficiently. Ones that come with tablets seem to work fine - I have my Nexus 7 charger on my office Qi (which is angled and serves dual duty of holding my phone for easy reading and viewing).
I'm actually more interested personally in an internal Qi option - solder it in, invisible.
True story - I did that with my S3 before I got an S5, and it worked great. Didn't have to bother when I got an S5, since they sold an optional Qi battery door for the S5. ...don't get me started on my hatred of the design philosophy that excludes removable battery doors.
Anyway - I just picked up a 5x, reluctantly ditching many of the features I had on my S5, to try Google Fi service out.
Wireless charging is something that I'm very interested in - I have wireless chargers literally installed (meaning: hidden, routed wires) in my car, office, and house, specifically to avoid that dorm-room spaghetti-everywhere aesthetic. "Wireless... it's not just for convenience anymore."
Hopefully there's a thread with step by step instructions on a good Qi pad and identified soldering points to install internally?

Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

That may exist today, but certainly didn't exist when the S3 was the current flagship phone.
Back in those years, the popular (and nearly 'only', here on XDA) modification was to buy the Palm Pre battery door and charger (non-Qi) and use those parts.
Since Palm had recently gone bust, $20 would get you all the parts you need - including Palm's proprietary charger base, a receiver sticker, even a charger.
And honestly, I have to say the Qi charger gets much hotter than the Palm system, so there might be an argument there for it being technically 'better than' the Qi systems. Qi is simply the standard today.

So now with the news that there are some accessories(chargers and cables) that are not compliant with the USB type C specifications, I wonder if these wireless pads are compliant with the specification?

Official Samsung Fast Qi Wireless Charger

I would really like to purchase the Samsung Qi fast wireless charger
but I have a few questions about it before I buy one.
#1: How much slower is the fast wireless Qi charger when compared to
the standard samsung fast usb charger which comes with the phone?
#2: Does the phone get hot or very warm when it's charging wirelessly?
#3: Does the phone charge slower when it has a one piece case on it?
Thanks in advance,
Have a great day!

#1, add around 30% time to charge
#2 Not that i have noticed
#3 Depends on the case

I have both, the flat and the tilted charger from Samsung. I got an extra at Radio Shack going out of business, gutted it, and put it under the cubby hole in my car to charge while driving. The flat one I have next to my computer and use it rarely. The tilted charger, be warned. The lip of it where the phone sits is extremely narrow; 3 weeks after I got my Edge 7, it became an Olympic ski jumper, slid off the charger, off the desk, and right into the metal rail on my bed and cracked the housing at the charging port. I really only use the home chargers when I go to bed, and the one in my car while driving 40 miles to and from work. I like them because I've been getting Ringke cases that have port covers, and using the wireless, I don't risk marring the finish trying to connect a cable. It's funny how many people see it, either at work, or when I installed it in the car, and really like the idea. I never take my case off to charge, and never really notice it being any hotter than if I were using it for an extended time period.

I know, but you are thinking of buying one. I'm simply giving you a link, if you decide to buy one, to a REAL Samsung fast wireless charger for a good price. The market is flooded with fake ones at low prices. Usually, if the price is fairly low, then it's a fake Samsung product.

Every time i use it (with s6 edge+ or s7 edge) it charges, no problem at all, even with the cases (s6e+ has verus high pro shield and s7e has spigen case rugged armor)

I don't have Samsung QI Charger, I got my QI Wireless Charger from Anker, Very great quality for the half of price and do the same job
Since i am not using fast charging via cable and always charge the regular - slow - way so i got the regular one from Anker, Charge time is as same as the cable time.
No major heat or something just the regular warmth, and working fine with cases.
I like it, very easy to just place the phone and wake away , no cables or USB Port damage, Won't back to regular charge

I have two of them. Stand.
#1: 20-30%
#2: It gets warm even with the fan at the back of the charger running all the time.Not hot and not very warm.
#3: Not in my case and I have cases with different thickness.

General Be careful with your charger cable

The charging speed is absolutely mental, the 0 -100% in 30 minutes is legit.
But one thing to note, the cable itself shouldn't be kinked, I've had a few of these before and you can break them fairly easy if you wrap up your cables all the time, try to leave it as loose and straight as possible.
Besides that, I'm so impressed by the speed of this charger, it goes like hell.

Avoid pulling* on them except by grasping the plug housing. Where the cable meets it are the weakest link. Never bend the cable there.
That's the spot where most fail.
*including phone saved by cable drops

My wife has an Asus portable screen and the cables the same grade, she folded it up for transporting to work, after that it didn't work. The 10 pro one is very similar, just shouldn't be bent at all.

And of course don't use your phone while charging...

I have 2 stock Samsung cables that came with the bricks. One has been used well over 2000 times but it is never put away... it just sits there.
It's a stiff cable, never expected this kind of longevity from it. It's taken a few "drops" too.
A well designed/built cable/plug assembly shouldn't fail from simply coiling* it. I've fabricated many hundreds of custom cable assemblies, many still in use after over a decade.
*coiling verses sharp bends to jam it into a small space. I'm not concerned with saving shipping space but rather delivering the assembly in best condition. I also avoid using kind of tight binding of the coil that could deform the cable's internal structure. Teflon insulation is extremely susceptible to this.

Should be faster!
I charge my 9 pro (65w wall charger) from 0-100% in 27 minutes. With the phone OFF.
I recomend to everybody to buy wireless charger 50w. The model for 9 Pro. Is Very Fast and it saves usb_C port a lot.
Atention! You still need wall charger and OnePlus cable to work. When you buy the wireless charger does not come with wall charger and cable in the box.

I charge my 9 pro (65w wall charger) from 0-100% in 27 minutes. With the phone OFF.
I recomend to everybody to buy wireless charger 50w. The model for 9 Pro. Is Very Fast and it saves usb_C port a lot.
Atention! You still need wall charger and OnePlus cable to work. When you buy the wireless charger does not come with wall charger and cable in the box.

C ports can be quit durable* if kept clean (rarely need cleaning). They typically last many years and thousands of charge cycles. You'll likely replace 2 or more batteries before a C port.
Typically the C port is easier to replace than the battery. A heavily used device's battery will last 1 to 2 years at best.
Direct charging is faster and generates less heat. High temperature and cell voltage are an Li's prime premature degraders.
*at least on a Samsung N10+

Yea I've had a problem with lint, just cleaned it, way more robust than micro..
They were horrific .
In regards to charge speed. The 80w 10 pro charger is the fastest I've ever used, it's insane

The micro's were nightmares. C ports will take some abuse without becoming loose.
The lint problem is likely a result of where it's kept. My N10+ nests in my lint free bdu pant pocket however I was keeping my Buds+ in my front pants pocket (cotten vs polyester/cotton).
Recently had to clean the lint out of the Buds+ case. It wasn't properly seating.
No big deal, carefully used a toothbrush and blew it out with a blower bulb. Now that case nests in my cargo pocket too
In spite of no cover cap the N10+'s C port has stayed remarkably clean in over 2 years of heavy usage in a dusty environment. Where you pocket the device counts the most in keeping the C port clean it appears. A dust repelling case with a slightly over hanging hood seems to help as well.

Exactly mate.
I've never broken one before, the cable itself though, very stiff, I've broken then before.

I have 2 Samsung C cables, one is 2.5 yo, the other over a year, both are used constantly. Both are very stiff, I never coil them.
The have aged well, which pleasantly surprises me.
Micro cables, always was replacing them... like dumb bunnies

I've seen someone buy a phone, I was working in a phone repair shop and she bought the really expensive Sony phone. She was quite rough with it, shoved the micro usb cable into it the wrong way several times, broke off most the pins, literally list 1200 quid on the spot.
I think that's partly why usb c became a thing, so much more reliable, it's design I'm referring to. I know power delivery was it's driving force and data rate.

Some people...
Yeah never liked the polarized micro system. A good sideways pull or drop on the attacted charging cable could loosen them.
It was like playing Russian roulette. In 5 years went through over half a dozen cables.
USB C is much more reliable, rugged... and dumb bunny proof.

Not all of them.
I bought for my sister Nokia 7 Plus few years back. Usb_C get broken. She use it for charging and copy to/from PC..
To replace the port they need to remove the screen (with heat & bla bla). It could Not be changed thruu the back cover. It cost almost 30 euro, which is a lot for a usb port.
You can clean the port with a sharp wooden toothpick with some contact spray or isopropyl alcohol.

If that's true buddy, that's a hell of a trick I just didn't bother with for some reason. If that's the case then I'd imagine the 10 pro will top up faster than a car a petrol station.
I'd great find but I feel like a tit for not noticing it myself

C port quality depends on the manufacturer and perhaps model
A toothpick could deform contacts, a soft stiff bristle seems more appropriate... with care.
3% hydrogen peroxide can be used as it will get under the lint and react with it, dislodging it.
Dry throughly.

It makes sense that charging is faster with the phone off.
