I believe the limitation of Qi is 500 - 700 mA unfortunately.

I think, but not sure, that you can use and qi wireless charger as long as it's connected with the included (and rather large) Droid Turbo power adapter.

I cant imagine you would need to use the turbo charger for this. Like SBC44 said the speed is going to be limited fairly low with wireless charging. It wouldn't be possible to charge that fast with wireless technologies, at least not with the current technology. The turbo charger moves a lot of juice.
Here is some good reading if your interested.

From the article "Slower charging – due to the lower efficiency, devices can take longer to charge when supplied power is equal."

I dont think so.. wall chargers are more powerful than wireless chargers.. Wireless chargers are still need to improve alot..

Wireless charging takes more than overnight!
Do not waste your money on the Verizon wireless charger. The battery in this is so big that even overnight does not bring a phone that was down to 25% up to a full charge.

Thanks for letting us know. I was about to buy the Verizon wireless charger 2 days ago when I was buying all my accessories for the phone. Would've been a bummer to find out how slow the wireless charger chargers. Thanks.

The TYLT brand wireless charger is capable of normal wall plug speeds. It will be much faster than the average Qi charger but at the same time the turbo charger is amazing. I do not know of a charger that can charge as fast as the turbo charger but this TYLT brand is pretty good. The only reason I would get a wireless charger is to reduce wear and tear on my microUSB port (the culprit for retiring most of my previous android devices).
I also think its common knowledge that rapid charging and discharging of LiPo batteries reduces the overall life expectancy. I'm not sure what Motorola is doing with this whole "rapid charge and non removable battery" thing. Its possible that Turbo users can prolong the life of their batteries by charging at normal rates but I honestly don't have enough info to make a confident statement about that.
Here's the fastest Qi charger that I know of right now:

Is there an actual model thats being advertised for release? Ive been searching everywhere for the right wireless car dock. Im trying to minimize my usage on the microUSB port.
That goes for everyone. If you know of any good wireless Qi car mounts /docks that would be superb. I drive all day every day.

Their website just says coming soon, but Android Police did a hands-on post about it a couple of weeks ago. Looks like the price will be about $80 (!).
I currently use this wireless car dock and haven't had any problems with it..

I was thinking of getting this car mount, but wasnt sure how it would work with the turbo. I have a few questions for you;
do you have a case on it? if so which one... i have the otterbox commuter...
what car are you using it in?
are you using the suction cup or vent connection?
any info would be helpful!

sorry won't let me post links yet... been a long time lurker on xda first time poster

I'm not using a case on the Turbo, but I used it with an HTC One M8 with a Commuter case and it worked fine. I drive a Chevy Avalanche and mounted the cradle using a ProClip vehicle mount and one of their adapter plates for an XM Radio believe it or not. That matches up pretty well with the tab on the back of the Choetech mount, but I did have to wrap a few rubber bands around the tab so it was tight enough.

I've used this one for close to a year with various devices. It does charge at 1.2a but is limited by the wireless receiver, most are .75a or less. That being said, this unit works great with my BN turbo. It is always at 99-100% after about 7 hours on night stand even when starting below 20%. Currently I'm not using a case, but I have a Commuter case I used for awhile and the wireless charger still worked fine through the case.

May be available in the end of 2015!
Right now there is no wireless charger that supports faster charging but it will soon be available in the end of 2015 as it is under developing state.

I have the Tylt and it says it supports the rapid charging. I can't say it is as fast as the wall charger since I've only had it a few days, but it does seem that the initial charge is very fast.
Also, very stylish. The wife doesn't even complain about leaving it on the night stand.

Bought the TYLT when I pick up the DT its well worth the $75. It charges faster than all my other home Qi chargers and it keeps the phone at a decent angle for viewing. It is not able to keep up with the draw of TS3 Viewer though, but not really a normal issue. I use this charger everyday and it will charge the phone from sub 15% to full overnight. Consequently I normally use this charger to charge up my wife's S5 and it seems to charge at a similar rate to her normal Samsung charger. I like useing this charger over the turbo charger simply because it should help the battery to last longer.
As far as dash mount I use the iOttie Easy Flex Wireless Qi Charger. That one maintains battery levels with the screen always on running Dash and Google Play (it also almost keeps up with running GPS ie. Waze/Google Maps) I posted an extensive reply in a later thread about that charger.

i bought the TYLT and love it. when i turn droid off and put it on TYLT and droid turns on itself. how do i keep droid off while charging? thanks.

bringing this back as I just bought this device. curious to see if there are any fast wireless chargers available yet? i do see QI wireless charging pads, but not sure if that is what I want. thanks!

I don't think any have hit the market yet. I have several of the tilt Qi chargers all over the house, so I love wireless charging.

Wireless Charging

Can we take a minute and just appreciate having this ability built-in? Being able to keep my phone topped up by literally just setting it down on my desk is pretty awesome.
Mods please remove if my fanboy is leaking.

I ended up getting a Sony battery pack + wireless charger device from Verizon when I got my Edge (no doubt some will know what I'm talking about).
It's definitely chunkier than your typical wireless charging pad, but I get 3+ full phone charges from it before it has to be recharged itself (also has pass-through, so you can still use it to charge your phone while it's plugged in).
Build in wireless charging is definitely a great feature.

That's the one (or at least I think it is, there's always the possibility there's a newer model that I have - but it looks/functions the same).
Don't let the negative reviews sway you, a lot of people complain that it's hard to get it to work but I believe that's only because they didn't read the instructions. It states that once you hit the button (to active wireless charging on the pack) you have to place the phone on it pretty quickly - if you don't, it'll start charging and stop after a few seconds. It works just fine through my incipio case and as I mentioned in my above comment I get 3+ charges from it when it's fully charged itself.

This is my first time with wireless charging, and I have to say, what a great feature. I now don't charge with the traditional cable unless I am in my car. I have a four 3 coil chargers from RAVPower and CHOE and they are nice. No issues charging at all. I have a friend who has an Incipio Ghost 120 wireless charger and my phone charges without an issue on that as well. Yea, I don't think I am going to go back anytime soon to regular wired charging unless I have to.

Slow Charging??

Hey Peeps
Anyone else getting slow charging on SM-T810?
Using the bundled charger, I am getting average of only 680mA .... Definitely nothing over 950mA and that is even when screen is off...
Using the same charger and cable on my sony xperia Z3 easily achieve 1400mA ...
Same sort of numbers with other chargers etc... So pretty sure it is device not charger...
Sent from my D6653 using XDA Free mobile app

I just tested and am getting around 1500 mA. That is with my nexus 6 charger.
Bundled charger gives me around 1460 mA.

Are you certain it`s not the app that is wrong as the S2 is new and the app might not have been updated yet, Try the Samsung charging app below, you have to keep pressing the refresh button on the free version.

The charging rate can be anything from 300mAh to the maximum the power adapter can output, the tablet will determine the amount of power it will accept, and will jump from fast to slow charge depending on how much more power is needed until it reach 100%.

Thanks guys - obviously does not seen to be wide issue.
I tried the Samsung app above ... Sort of showed similar values ....
I did a charge from 69% to full and it took about 1.5 hours... So would be maybe 5 hours to charge fully?? Unless the device does much quicker charging at very low battery??
I will do a full discharge down to say 5% and then charge from there and see how I go.
Thanks again

I would install battery monitor widget from 3c on the play store.
A pretty comprehensive battery app and will give you a full history and time line of charging and discharging cycles.

Normally it will trickle charge slow once it reach approximate 80%, and is normally fast if the unit is almost power empty.

It's annoying. I've tried both ipad chargers and a 2.4A charger, but it will go to slow charging mode with anything else than the bundled charger.

Yeah i have found exactly the same!! Must be some sort of Samsung handshake protocol...

There is another thread on this that I have mentions about this, just use a good quality charger, or just go for a Qualcomm QC 2.0 charger from any known brand like htc, aukey, xpower, lots to name, just searh Qualcomm site for a full list.
It won't used the QC2.0, but all should work just like the OEM Samsung one

the ipad charger should be pretty high quality though, so I don't get why it's being so picky.

If you also followed the tab S thread, it's also been mentioned, Samsung tabs S are also picky, and yes all apple stuff don't work.
Should I rephrase it and say some good quality charger will work, even branded ones like sony may not even work, but my intital testing, most QC 2.0 charger will work.

The issue is that I'm trying to find one charger that will charge both my tab s2 and my iphone 6+ quickly. Any idea how qc chargers fare with iphones? The bundled tab s2 charger only gave my iphone 0.4A (it charges the tablet at 1.5A)

I have both sony and asus chargers with included cables work perfectly with iphones and sony xperia z3 and nexus 7... Hopeless with S2.... But s2 charger works fine with them..

Odd, my old Nexus 7 2012 charger fast-charges my S2 710 without any issue at all. I had it spare as the N7 died on me (the S2 is its replacement) and was initially wondering myself as I had a few supposedly 2A chargers at home which only slow-charged the S2 (or indeed under Android 5.0.2 said it wasn't charging at all, even though it evidently was, but 5.1.1 has fixed that).
That said this is a charger without fixed cable (but with a decent USB cable) and I know from Raspberry Pi experience that the cable is almost as important as the charger for getting decent charging (ie enough current) to the device on the far end.

I would make sure the USB cable is a decent one intended for charging.
Proper charging USB cables have the shield connected at both ends for use as ground which is why they are notably thicker.

I agree, a good quality cable is required, as well as the charger itself, I'm using a magnetic cable and a reversible micro USB cable with a OEM Samsung, Aukey and Xpower charger, I don't get the speed of the QC 2.0, but it isn't suppose to as the S2 is not QC 2.0 compatible, but it does charge pretty quick, it also charges my ipod 4, and my nw-ZX2 work without any problems.

I get the "slow charging" message when using the Galaxy Tab S2 bundled charger.
If I use the charger from my Note 4 (Exynos) I get faster charging and no "slow" warning.
Did Samsung bundle it with the slow charger??

I can confirm that samsung did in fact bundle the tab s2 WITHOUT a quick charge usb charger.
I also thought the tab s2 didnt come with quick charge. I have extremely slow charge times but my battery lasts for DAYS... I can fully charge it, put it in airplane mode and check on it after 2 days and be at 98-99% battery.
I also use the quick charge cable AND the quick charge usb adapter that came with my note 5 and the tab still slow charges..

Here the same problem use Samsung charger and cable charge from 20% to 100% in 6 hrs and when use HUAWEI cable with Samsung charger It charged in 2 hrs
I guess Samsung have poor quality cable *-*

Not all QI fast chargers working with N8

Have a variety of fast QI chargers that all works well with my N5, even with cases (think and thick cases).
Use the same chargers with the N8 and it seems to be a hit or miss, especially with cases. Some work and some do not.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I have the Samsung Quick Charging Stand and a Spigen triple coil qi charger that's a rip of the Tylt Vu. They all work well but the spigen doesn't quick charge.

Chotetch fast charger works, confirmed because I have one as well as two convertibles from Sammy.
The choetech will charge the phone through the Sammy military grade case (whereas the Sammy one wont).

Triple coil standing Aukey works just fine, even with a case.

did you use the note 8 plug for this? i have the same charger which i got for the n7 and been using it for the s7.
the s7 will say fast wireless charging but with the note 8 it just says wireless charging and the time at 31% is 2h24m. in both these setups its using a sammy n7 charge plug.

I have two Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Charging Stands (EP-NG930) that worked great for the S7 Edge. They however do not work with the Note8 (with or without my spigen case). I tried it on a cheap flat (not fast) PowerBot Wireless charger pad and it works. Does anyone know of a good fast wireless charger stand (not pad) that works? I'm waiting for the new Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Charging Convertible to come in (the pre-order gift) but some people say that does't work sometimes in the stand position. I need a second charger for work.

I may have jumped the gun on this. I use an Anker 40w 5 port charger to feed the Seneo, as I also have a Gear S3 and an iPad that I charge at night. My Samsung charger is in a desk drawer somewhere.
I'll dig it out and hook the Seneo up to it to see what happens.

I went into a Verizon store and my Note 8 worked on their last Gen wireless charger with no problem. I believe I purchased my chargers on ebay so my conclusion is they must not be official changers and are knock offs. They look exactly like the official chargers down to the label on the bottom. They obvious knock offs have a slightly different label. The "some people" I was referring to were people who had the same experience as me based on researching this problem. Learned my lesson, saving a couple of bucks isn't worth it in the end.

I have two of the original Samsung fast charge pads (an American one and a Korean one) and they both work on my Korean Note 8 through its slim case.

Think thats my problem. I have a whole bunch of aftermarket QI Fast Chargers. Some seem to work better than others. But they all Work Well with my N5.

Question about these wireless chargers, if I don't use a Quick Charger adapter, and instead plug it into the back of my monitor for power, will it just slow charge it wirelessly? Or will that not be enough power for it to wireless charge altogether?

Probably won't have enough power. Definitely won't fast charge. Those need to be plugged into a fast charger

Fast wireless charging is really slow

Hi guys, my Note 9 charges extremely slowly when it is on a the fast wireless charger. It does say "Fast wireless charging" but it takes over 4 hours to charge fully. My mum has a Note 9 as well and her phone charges significantly quicker than mine on the same charger. I have tried turning off and on the fast wireless charging option and factory resetting my phone. Has anyone of you experienced this same problem?
Both phones are the same model, Exynos 128GB
I have tried multiple wall adapters and wireless chargers as well. The official samsung wireless charger convertible and a remax fast wireless charger. Tried with Samsung adapter and QC3.0 adapter.
There was an instance where my wireless charger was fast charging it and the charger burned up. It got really really hot to the touch and that particular charger stopped working. I'm thinking that it might have damaged the charging coils?
It might be a hardware defect, is there a way to back up my phone fully? Like an iPhone? Or is smart switch the best option I have right now without rooting?

I think it was faster before that incident. But I am not so sure.
Is there a software thing that might have done this? If not I am almost certain it is my phone

go to accessories and disable fast wireless charging and compare. then next time around reenable it and see if there is any difference.

Do you use any protective case? Maybe it contains metal that blocks the magnetic field of the charger.
