My dog ate my charger and I'm looking to buy this one till I order a new one. Anybody have any thoughts on it?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/insigni...lack/5690015.p?id=1219148349637&skuId=5690015
Seems like it would work but there are two things i would like to point out. First this is not a quick charge 2.0 charger so fast charge will not work with it, it will charge at normal rate. Also for myself i try to get wall chargers with removable cables just in case my pet eats thru it I can replace them easily and trust me i have gone through 4 cables in the last 4 months. That said i have had good experiences with ones bought from Ebay as well since the prices are far too tempting.
Is rapid charge the same as quick charge?

Usually not at all. What people claim as "rapid charge" is just a small increase in amperage (usually 2+ amps). By reference, USB 2.0 spec is 500mA.
Quickcharge 2.0 increases both the voltage and the amperage it can supply (is. even more wattage). The exact values are negotiated by the phone and what it draws - which is dependent on the current phase of charging.
Here's the exact same one we got with our note 4, OEM and everything! Plus it's way cheaper than the insignia one

That's the one I've been looking at as well but some of the comments claim it's fake. I know it's not a huge risk at 13 dollars but still kind of apprehensive.
This is the one I've been using and it's fantastic.

You guys are awesome! Definitely ordering the aukey one when I get home
I ended up getting these. Good reviews (samsung users reported that phone identified using fast charger connection) and decent prices.

I'll report back here after testing them Friday went they arrive! Eeeek! I'm excited lol!
Just got the chargers. All seem to work well and indicate fast charging via phone. Will report back if they fail or anything unexpected.
Can I use the fast charging brick with another cord and have fast charging?
Question for all. Whats the model number of you charging pad? I got a Note 5 and a bundled wireless charger and i just realized that they gave me the same charger that they gave me when i got my S6 edge.
Model: EP-PG920I
The Note 5/S6edge + charger is still not officially available from Samsung Store, so is it possible we all got S6 charger, that's isn't fast wireless charging? Takes me 2.5 hours for a full charge when i thought it shouldn't take more than 90 minutes.
Yes, it's been stated many times. The charger best buy or anyone else gives you is not a fast wireless charger and often doesn't work correctly with the note 5.

"doesn't work correctly" ? I used the old wireless charger at an AT&T store and it worked just fine... albeit much slower than the Fast Charge pads I tested in Korea last month.
They intermittently work.

When I talked to Samsung they told me the fast chargers, the round white ones, were specifically made for the note 5 and the S 6 + edge. They told me the round black one, the same one Best Buy gave me when I bought my phone, was incompatible with the note 5.
Here's a link to the thread. Hopefully it helps answer some questions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/wireless-charging-issues-t3185669
I don't have any issues with my S6 wireless charger, except I was expecting getting the Note 5 charger. Also, how could it be incompatible?? It's a standard. That's like saying a microUSB cable is incompatible with Note 5. Doesn't make sense. I don't have any connection problem, it never gives the blinking blue light as some have reported, I actually find it works better with Note 5 than S6 edge. My edge sometimes stopped charging, or just started making the sound like if i just plugged it to power source, until I moved it a little, it could charge OK for 30 minutes than just start freaking out until i moved it.
I thought the same thing...how could the new style charger be incompatible? But that's what the dummy at samsung told me when I called. He seemed very unhelpful and like he didn't care. I'm pretty sure the only requirement to be tech support is the ability to use Google search lol
The older square one best buy exchanged for me works flawlessly. I can't complain tho, it was free with purchase. In the future, I definitely won't be buying any charger that samsung makes. I'll wait for aftermarket fast chargers. At least their tech support staff will care if there's any issues unlike samsung.
Yeah I'm not seeing how there could be an incompatibility. The device is QI certified, and the Samsung charging pads are QI certified. Different specs don't matter, the charging rate will be as fast as both devices can handle. In this case, the older pads only do the original rate, so the phone will only receive 5W instead of 15W that it would receive from the newer "Fast Charge" pads.
If something isn't working, I would bet that it's a problem with the pad hardware, or with the phone hardware.
Am I missing something?

I had nothing but issues with the free wireless charger and exchanged it multiple times with no success. After doing some research, it seems some carriers may be having more issues than others. I am on Verizon and have read that the problem may be a software change made to the phone. I do have a Tylt charger that works just fine. There appears to be something causing issues with the communication between the phone and the specific Samsung charger. I had also read that the interruption in charging may be related to receiving notifications. I no longer have a Samsung charger to do any further testing. I would agree that this should not be an issue since it is a standard, but too may people are experiencing issues for it not to be a real problem.
hey guys, please go vote here and lets narrow down where that problem comes from

Thanks for this...voted.
Voted- I have the Sprint Note 5 and it has the problem with the Samsung disc charger from best buy.
I have had problems with my s6 edge+ and the note 5 with the regular samsung puck i got from best buy.
Regular galaxy s6 charges flawlessly on it. If u dont have problems u got lucky.
Maybe it has something to do with the new reciever for fast charging. Pisses me off i get a free charger and cant use it on my new phone that it came with.
Someone mentioned software related issue but i have tested the s6 edge+ powered off without any software running and still had problems.
I use sprint service and have a n920p device. I just used the poll. Maybe that will start pointing us in the right direction.

I was told by the sammy rep at bb that it doesn't have enough power to charge the note 5. I was told by the advanced tech guy on the phone with samsung that my bb got a bad batch.
It's not a bad batch, and not enough power is no excuse. It doesn't work right when the phone is off. Plus is starts charging fine, it shouldn't suddenly have less power after 5-20 mins. Plus, the key is what someone else said: it's a standard. If it says Qi compatible, it's required to work. Samsung is having problems with revenue, and they desperately need sales. I wonder if they are just trying to cover this up until their marketing campaign is done and they have another flagship to push. This is very un-apple like
The Note 5 wireless charge model is EP-PN920BBEG. On the Note 5 wireless charge, it will have the phrase: Fast charge. If you use S6 Edge wireless charge for your note 5, it still charges normally but not fast. You must use the right type of charger to have fast charge . But there are many store still sale the S6 Edge wireless charge for Note 5 users because of profit or another reason. You should ask them carefully. You can google the model to see the Note 5 wireless Charge look like. Sorry for my bad English
On a side note - the USA Samsung website finally lets you order the fast charge pads. $74.95 after tax.... this is what I get for being too impatient to wait for the Korean model my gf bought for me to arrive.
I got a wireless pad bundled with the note 5 at purchase. So far there's no problem with it. Looking at the model number, I think it's intended for the note 5.
I purchased the official Samsung Wireless base (white) and I have a Note 5 (white). Anyways the base didn't quite workout with the case I have on my Note 5. I returened the Samsung Wireless base, though I might have confused the Adapter and Cable. Anyways can someone confirm this for me please.
Does the Wireless base come with a normal Samung wall charger or Fast Charging?
Does the Note 5 come with a thin white USB cable or a thick white USB cable?
I was disappointed it didn't work and didn't pay too much attention on what charger and USB cable I got to repackage the Wireless Charger.
Thanks
It depends which wireless charging pad you purchased (although i don't think you could have purchased a fast charge pad yet because white is still showing as coming soon on their website).
In that case you probably bought the older style pad, which does not have a fast charging rate, and uses a normal wall adapter (not fast charging). I believe the cables are all thin...
Most likely your case is too thick to allow wireless charging, from what you say.
Ok thanks.
Actually it worked fine the first time, but then for some reason the other times it would charge for some minutes and then start blinking and disconnect. I tried it on and off, and it didn't make a difference. I said screw it, doesn't work fine, and don't want that happening at night without me noticing and then realizing in the morning it didn't charge.
I have Samsung chargers and cables stored everywhere, so I might have gotten the wrong cable for that Samsung Wireless Pad (the circular one with LED coloring). I think I confirmed the charger I kept is the Samsung Fast Charger and the thin USB cable that states 5.3v @ 2.0A and 9.0V @ 1.67 which I think is the original as the thicker one don't think would fit on the slot on the Note 5 box.
I think I sent them one that came with another Samsung phone, the one that says Verizon on the sticker tabs, hope they don't find out .
Hi, my original charger just died, so i decided to buy a good charger, and i rembember thinking "Well, belkin is a well known company, it should work". Long story short, i bought it for 30dls, worked but it charged at 300mha. So i wanted to punch everyone at belkin.
Apparently this charger is not compatible with the LG G2 and im ****ed.
I just wanted to share my experience so no one here go and buy it.

Thanks for the heads up. Most aftermarket chargers like Belkin are garbage. You'd think that at $30+ it would be top notch, but they're actually made to be as cheap as possible by mediocre engineers so they end up being exceedingly terrible. Not only do they not measure up to spec but the output voltage is unstable and has a TON of noise. It's obviously always preferable to go with a good oem charger when possible. Unfortunately they're somewhat hard to find separately without actually buying something and if you do find one for sale they're are a lot of fakes out there so it can be risky.
By far best chargers that are easily attainable are the apple usb chargers. After comparing the apple usb chargers(both 5w and 12w) and a bunch of other usb chargers(both oem and aftermarket) I have using an oscilloscope at work, the apple chargers have the cleanest output by a wide margin. Just be sure to buy them from a major retailer. It's not worth risking getting a fake because at that point you might as well use the belkin.
Additionally, the original 2014 moto x charger and kindle 5w and 9w changers are also very good.
While I prefer the 1A/5w chargers to extend the life of the battery, you can also get the 9w-12w ones which will charge faster if that's something you need. Be sure to use a quality cable too.
edit:
This guy did something similar to what I did but actually took the time to document it. It's very informative and shows how much quality can vary between different chargers.

I'm sure it works fine....
You can probably find the same/similar thing on ebay for under $2. But you have to keep in mind that not all usb chargers are created equal, especially these cheap aftermarket ones. While it may charge your devices, the quality of the power it delvers may or may not be good. Not to mention that it might not be made to even minimal safety standards - for both you and the device. Even though the charger you recommend may very well be fantastic, it is of unknown quality. Given that the vast majority of all aftermarket usb chargers are substandard, it can be reasonably assumed that this one isn't an anomaly.
I recommended the apple charger because it's known to be of very good quality and it's easy to find.
Check out this site:
http://www.righto.com/2014/05/a-look-inside-ipad-chargers-pricey.html
The author compares a genuine ipad charger with a fake one. Assuming that the majority of aftermarket chargers are built to the same standard(or worse) as the fake, it amazes me that anyone would even consider using one let alone pay for it. What is the logic in saving a couple bucks and potentially risking several hundred? I would rather spend $20 once and have piece of mind in knowing that I have the best.
you are right, but i've just gave you a link to the pretty cheap charger that works well with G2 and as i've said - it charges my tablet as well...
i don't just buy random stuff on ebay... i always do a little research before buying anything - especially buyer comments & reviews...
and alzashop also doesn't sell crap...
btw ConnectIT brand does a bunch of IT gadgets, usb chargers are just a drop in the ocean...
Try using Dorimanx kernel and set the Force charge on (1600+ mah) and try the charger again
I had the same issue when I bought an Oem HTC one M9 charger but only charged at 300 mah sometimes
I used dorimanx and now it charges at around 1800+ mah

I tried on 3 different wireless charger same result, thn had a word with Google customer care and they said it's a on going problem with many devices and their tech team is looking into it.
wireless chargers I tried are from brands spigen, unigen, baseus
My P7 just came in and tested it on my three chargers. ALL WORK flawlessly.
Xiaomi 25W. Jootech 15W and another 5/10W unbranded cheap charger.
Soo...either you have a crap case on your device stopping it from charging, or your pixel is defective.
just to drop you a line:
Yootech + Xiaomi charger support Max Speed of 12W @ Pixel 7.
Actually I saw 13,5W at some time, but mostly it´s like 12,7W.
I'm having the same problem with different pixels since the 13 update.
They kinda fixed something, because it now charges, but sometimes and very slow.
You need the right charger. Industry are total idiots.
Most want you to buy QuickCharge chargers with the qualcom tech inside.
Obviously Google, Samsung and Apple switched/chose PowerDelivery are as "their charging tech".
Buy something like this:
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09QM3NCS4?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
It has both worlds and other than the 33W charger who never exceeded 18W when charged on both ports I didn´t see this one throttle down anything.
Additionally there are differences in the charging stand. I don´t really get it and since there is no information of built in chips or whatever best you can do is take their promises for real. I can confirm this with my own experience. Yootech Stand was pretty slow with the Xiaomi Mi10. Now is the king in the ring with the Pixel 7 by 0,5W.
Try this one:
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09H2S98MK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
It is often recommended with google phones.
But It was in fact minimal slower than the other two I have here, so I´m going to send it back.
12-14W are possible with this thing.
If you want the total wireless power you´ll need the absurd expensive and UGLY Google stand.
Tested my WCS now couple times:
Yootech 13-15W
Xiaomi 12-14W
Funfact: Putting the Pixel upside down on the chargers give 1 extra Watt of charging speed.
Prooves many of the stands are too small for todays smartphones.
This "effect" will differ with phone-size and case used on the phone.

Hey I am from India so tried 4-5 wireless charger available here but none of thm I found working, only one charger I found I shows battery percentage when I keep my phone on it but it doesn't also charge my phone.
But I tried wireless charging other device with my Pixel 7 using battery share option and those able to get charge from my Pixel 7 so this means wireless charging is working fine for my Pixel 7, if I am not wrong.
So I need to get an proper wireless charger, am I correct?
I had a word with customer care for Pixel and they said any Qi enabled charger will work with Pixel 7 but all the wireless charger I tried support Qi enabled devices but thn also no luck.
Any specific charger I need to look for other than Pixel wireless charker it's too costly in India.
Plz suggest
First thing to try is put the naked phone on the wireless charger.
Had several cases where family members were moaning about wireless charing it wasnt the several chargers they tried but their "beloved" phone-case
Charger recommenadion: charger with "𝙂𝙖𝙉 𝙄𝙄𝙄" like the one from pluggify
Stand recommendation: INIU Wireless Charger Stand
/EDIT: I can only repeat....ANY STAND I´ve put my P7 on WORKED flawlessly.
The fastest one is indeed the one in my car by 0,5-1W charging speed.
I tried 5 different ones so far.
I got this one, and it works. Charging slow, but for me it's OK: Anker 10W Max Wireless Charger, 313 Wireless Charger (Pad). I got a slim no name TPU case on my device all the time.
These are said to be working (German Android forums):
SAMSUNG EP-P4300B
INIU Wireless Charger, 15W
MoKo Wireless Charger + + QC Charger
Pixel Stand 2 (of course)
Amazon Brand - Eono C1
Belkin BoostCharge
+1 on Anker qi charger. It maxes out at 11W for me with a case on so it's a little slow I guess, but I keep it bedside and use it at night with an 85% limit set to (theoretically) save battery life - so it works fine for me.

Something is wrong with your device or methods. Are you swapping your Note 3 sim with the Pixel 7 or not registering it correctly with the network? Your frustration is palpable and maybe it's time to just go back to Sammy and cut your losses. Either that or put aside the Note 3 and focus on getting the setup for the P7 working as most of us here have done. The device is not a piece of garbage as you state so start over again with a reset and working sim and ask questions from that standpoint.
Thanks for the advice. I'll keep you posted. I want to like this phone, it just keeps letting me down . . .

Well there have been instances of faulty hardware so perhaps an RMA? Or did you do that already? Oh I just looked and you're on your third device. It would help if we knew more about your setup. Like carrier, wireless charger not working, type of sim (physical or eSim) maybe even country you're in. I would start from scratch and factory reset with a brand new physical sim from the carrier, put the sucker in when prompted and connect to the network. Don't restore anything yet even though it's a pain to reset everything back up. Just make sure it works and perhaps go to a store like Best Buy and test out the Google wireless charger. If you can make and receive calls and texts, get data and charge wireless then go from there. Failing any of those simple things would require another RMA. It's really a nice device so I hope you get it figured out.
