I recently received a test unit to sample from Choetech, to use with my Samsung Note 5. To sum things up, this is simply fantastic! I had been using older Qi chargers before this, namely multiple Nokia DT-900 units arranged around my house. This just blows them out of the water! Granted, I've never used "aftermarket" chargers from Amazon or Ebay, just because I figured if they were low priced, they'd be "cheap". Well, I was certainly wrong in this case. Alignment is dead simple, and this charges almost as fast as a wired Quickcharge 2.0 charger. The phone connects reliably, every time it's placed on the charger, and works with the Spigen Rugged Armor case that I use. I haven't noticed any unusual heat from either the charger or my phone since I've started using it last week.
I tried a few phones with this charger, namely the Note 5, the Nexus 5, and the Droid Turbo. My Note died on me this weekend, and I swapped out to the LG V10, but as soon as I get a Qi sticker for it, I'll update my review with that as well. When the Note is placed on the charger, it glows green to let you know it's quick charging. When using any other device, it glows blue for "standard" wireless charging, though it still charges a LOT faster than those old Nokia plates.
The charging plate can be purchased here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016DAFUGY?ref_=cm_rdp_product

Received my CHOETECH T511-S fast wireless charger 2 days ago and it has been awesome so far, it's very small and lightweight which is nice. I haven't noticed it getting any hotter than the normal wireless charger from Samsung despite this one being a fast charge unit. I mean for less than half the cost of the Samsung one its a no brainer. I can't find anything to complain about with this unit, I keep it on my pc desk so while I'm on my pc I just charge it up. Also heres a link to my video review https://youtu.be/Fv1OI7Jq7AE
Note to the Choetech people: please make this available on amazon.ca
Thanks!
This sound a better one to give a shot. It's much cheaper price. Can I change the circle wireless charging pad to this t511-s? lol
Is it fast charging? How long time does it take to fully charge your Note 5?
What's the difference between this one and their other fast wireless charger (see below)??

I can't see any difference other than aesthetics. I'm sure there are other minor differences, but none that are apparent.
The first thing about this chargers faster than any regular wireless charger if you're using a Note 5. I was able to get from 20% to 100% in under an hour and 40 minutes. That's pretty good in comparison to the regular Samsung wireless charger, which took about 40 minutes longer. See the pictures for comparison (left is my 1st note on the choe charger, right is my second note on the samsung regular wireless charger.
The second thing is this charger is very affordable and does work with thick cases (see my pictures). I'm surprise that it work well, but you have to center the device.
The con about this charger is it's hard to see the green charging indicator lights when you set it down vertically. If you don't center the device, it won't charge and you won't notice it since you can't see the indicate lights. If I lay the phone horizontally, I can see the green indicate light but I can't really use the phone while it's on my desk. Also when it's 100%, the indicate lights turn off. Also the build quality is made of light plastic so it's not as nice feeling/sturdy as the Samsung's build quality.
Overall it works for what it does and it's affordable so it's 4 stars. I prefer the puck style wireless charger they are selling for a bit more.

The major difference is probably the LED indicator. The circle fast charger has special LED light indicates charging status: green light for fast charging, blue light for normal charging.
I have been using this pad for a few days now, and I love it. Compared to my OEM Samsung charging pad it is spot on.
Love the build quality and ergonomic design. I appreciate the fact that is very thin and has very sticky pads on the bottom that don't allow it to slide around on my nightstand.
I've even used this in my car and the pad did not slide around or move.
Another great feature is the non-intrusive LED light, because of this it has earned the coveted spot on my nightstand. The Samsung one as well as another QI pad I have both have really bright and obnoxious LED lights. This makes use of them on my nightstand very unlikely. I can't stand that bright LED in my face. Choetech pad has one small LED that can be pointed away and doesn't bother me one bit.
Furthermore, the cable that came with the unit is superb, seriously something as simple as this can really enhance a product. The cable is thick and solid feeling yet very soft and flexible, this is a big plus in my book.
Can't say enough good things about this charging pad, it looks great, charges fast and works well with my S6 and Note 5. Even the packaging was very well thought out, like something you'd expect from Google or Samsung.
Solid thumbs up from me, I highly recommend this product.
The only weakness is that it doesn't come with a fast charging plug. I need to wait until my my fast charging plug to arrive. Btw, do Choetech have some of this?

You can use the one that came with your Note 5. But yes, they do carry this.

The CHOE does exactly what you would expect a fast charger to do. It charges your device quickly and I had no issues with it. A great replacement to take on trips and Sumsung charger at home and priced at $23.99 it’s really a great deal. I couldn't hear annoying sounds from the charger, but the led light is very bright, especially at night, next to the bed.

Oke thank you.
and my last question
i can get the Samsun S6 Fast Wireless charger for about 35 euros. (original)
but is the samsung better qualiity?
or the same..? or is choetech better?
I'm planning to buy this one but it's not yet available in my area. Already have the Samsung Fast Wireless Charger (EP-PN920). Anyway, can somebody who has the ChoeTech charger make something like this:
The procedures/full article are from here:
http://phandroid.com/2015/09/25/samsung-fast-wireless-charging-comparison
The ChoeTech looks cooler than Samsung's. Anyway, I was also wondering why they couldn't just use a Red or Amber LED for charging status. Blue is very painful to the eyes. Green for full charge is OK.

I'm using this fast wireless charger from CHOETECH, the design is somewhat similar to that Samsung.
http://www.amazon.de/Schnellladeger...-Smartphone-schwarz-beinhalten/dp/B015K8D8WI/
I personally prefer to the CHOETECH one because it's much cheaper (with a quick charge adapter included) in US lol. ;D
It's not bad with fast charging and has a built-in lighting sensor in darkness that is good to use at bedside.
Well my friend prefers to use Samsung wireless charging pad as it has a heat cooling fan. Hope that helps.

After installing one of these:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wire...-Housing-Back-Cover-Case-T01/32357030303.html
into the back of a black leather case, I've noticed that this phone/antenna is very sensitive about where you place it on the wireless charging pad. I previously had a Galaxy S4 that I stuck a wireless charging sticker into, but that was much more forgiving about where it is placed on the charging pad.
Both pads I have are single coil. Lots of people speak highly of the Tylt Vue, probably because it has 3 coils. There are other much cheaper 3 coil versions available, and even versions with moving coils that supposedly find the sweet spot automatically.
What is the best wireless charging pad to use with this sticker?
With Tylt Vu do you have to place phone in landscape/horizontal to get it to charge?
Doesn't seem to be a lot of talk on QI Wireless Charging Pads.. What you guys using, with success?
LG has come out with a charger specifically for the G4:
http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-LG-Wireless-Charger-WCD-110/dp/B00XPTN0I2/
Looks identical to the one they had for the G3. Does anyone know if this charger (or any other charger) will allow the G4 with the Qi sticker to be easily and reliably placed vertically on the charger, so that there is no other fiddling around that is needed to find the "sweet spot" that is needed for wireless charging to connect and charge?
I grabbed 2 of these http://www.amazon.com/Itian-Wireles...437331299&sr=1-6&keywords=Qi+Wireless+Charger been great going to grab a 3rd for the living room. Phone is always charged up when I leave the house.

Yea I did write a review since I was happy with it for the price it is great. I grabbed it since some other reviewer said it worked with the Otterbox G3 so I figured ok this should work then with the Otterbox G4 and it did.
Lots of people are having problems with their Qi Charging of their G4s. It happens to me too, where the device will just start freaking out midway through the night. SystemUI crashes and I the desktop keeps crashing to a black screen. After a few minutes off the charger, it will recover. I am not sure why it does this though. Charging is a hardware mod. So there has to be some charging software that is freaking out. I've had my Nokia Charger for years. It charges my Nexus 7 2013 and other devices I have. The only problems I have are with the G4... and it isn't consistent. Some days are fine, others are not.
Some have said different chargers work with better results.
I am really disappointed that LG doesn't have official wireless charging backs available (and not the stupid flip case). If you sell a phone with Qi able... sell the damn Qi enabled backplates. I am unsure if maybe I have a bum Qi Sticker, if it isn't aligned 100%, or if it is just the phone itself.
It seems to get stupid when I take it off and on a few times before I go to bed. If I just plop it down and leave it alone, it seems to do better. But if I check my emails in the middle of the night a few times, it seems to be locked up in the AM.
Do people with the official LG flip case have issues with wireless charging I wonder?
What are most of using? Woild you buy it again? If not why? What other if any would you buy? If considering any one brand but price is an issue, at what price would it be reasonable?
I like the TYLT Vu because its a dock and its colors. But its pricey imo, but at $30 would you buy it? The LG dock has gone down to $30 as well.
I also found the LG pad for $20 right now. Any good, worth buying or spending a bit more on another plate or dock?
Let me know your opinions, Im looking to order one really soon. My sticker should arrive this weekend.
These are some I am considering and comparing official LG Qi

Only official charging back is circle case.
Otherwise you would need to do as others have done and buy/ install nfc/qi chip sticker.

No. I tore off the flip cover just like on my G3. QI works perfectly on my G4. I only use the Tylt Vu at home & work, & I have a QI car mount (Choe) for my car. I've never had issues with either. The car charging is slow sometimes b/c I'm always on bluetooth streaming & have my Google navigation going.

I purchased 2 similar magnetic cables by WSKEN on Amazon...$14.99 each. Looks like they are made from the same manufactures but under different names.
The micro attachment is very tight and keeps flush with the bottom of the LG G4...the magnet cable is similar to Apples magnetic charging cables. If you didn't know, you would think it was made by Apple.
I haven't got the chance to test them out since I just received them today, but so far so good.
They need to design different types of attachments, so a single magnetic cable can be utilized with several different charger types.
Overall, I think this was a good idea and should be better than a plain USB to micro cable.

This has the potential to replace wireless charging. Sony has been doing it for years.
Best is that it is so easy to retrofit any device
The problem with the stickers i've noticed when it came out for samsungs a year ago is that NFC does not work properly. So they make the sticker with thinner wires. Now NFC works but then the problem is it takes longer to wirelessly charge than with thicker wires. Next. you have to find a proper charger and depending on the device, if the vendor did not make it you will be lucky to get it working.
Too much hassle....
With the dual sim G4, there is no possiblity for wireless charging at all since the two pins are not even there, i don't think i will miss wireless charging.

good review , and no angry pitch
I got the white version of this CHOETECH Fast Wireless Charger at Amazon. I use it with the new Samsung Galaxy Note 5 & the fast charging is working great. This can be purchased with the pad on it's own or bundled with a fast charging wall adapter.

I have bought this Choetech Fast Wireless Charger yesterday. I am happy with its fast charging and LED Light Charging Status indicator.
Can the lights be shut off completely? I'd like to have one of these on my night stand but wouldn't want any light.
I received my charger from Choetech today and left my review on amazon, I have copied it here as well for the folks at XDA.
Feel free to ask any questions, I will try to answer them as best I can.
First, this is an amazing charger. Choetech always makes good products.
I received this in 2 days and set about testing it.
I was going to make a video showing off this thing fast charging on a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 but I see that there are already 2 excellent videos up showing that. So instead I will show you the things they did not highlight as much.
OK, the quick charge 2.0 wall plug you can get with this is the best one I have ever tried. Just like the other Qualcomm certified chargers, you will get the self adjusting voltages (12v-9v-5v) to give you a super fast charge. The extra you get with this Choetech quick charge 2.0 adapter is the USB port on it is reversible! This is the first charger I have seen with this and I now think everything should have this.
Ok now to the real reason you are reading this. The charging puck itself is a nice clean looking puck.
It is defiantly thicker than the cheapo ones you get for a few dollars. It has some heft to it making it feel more premium.
It has rubber top and bottom to keep both the charger from slipping on your desk or the phone from slipping on top the charger.
It will most defiantly charge your Note 5 or other Samsung devices quickly.
It will also charge your older devices as well. I tested it on a few LG phones in addition to the Note 5.
I noticed no abnormal warmth from the charger or any of the phones I tested this with. This is a very welcome thing as most of my other qi chargers do have heat issues.
One final thing, I tested this charger on my moto 360 and it charged it flawlessly. Most qi chargers fail here and will overheat this watch, this one did not and it charged my moto 360 from 19% to full in about 35 minutes. that is about 15 minutes faster than the stock charger does.
I have attached some pictures and may upload a video in a day or 2 after I have some more time to test this gem out.
I received this product in exchange for an honest review, this does not affect my opinion of this product.
My Review
Hey guys and gals, I received my CHOETECH Fast Wireless Charger a few days ago and wanted to add my review to this thread.
It starts off with nice packaging with color graphics on the front and information about the charger on the back. Once you open the package up, the fast wireless charging puck and included USB cable are both neatly and safely inside. The fast wireless charging puck has a piece of protective plastic on it which you will need to remove before charging.
The wireless charging puck itself is very nice. It's small and compact, has a nice gloss finish to it and has a rubber ring around it so your phone won't slide off of it while charging. The bottom also has a rubber ring around it so the puck won't slide around on whatever surface you put it on. I know this is pretty standard fare at this stage in the game, but very nice touches for a very fairly priced fast wireless charger.
How about performance? This is the most important aspect, right? To put it bluntly, it's fantastic. Compared to the Samsung branded counterpart of this, it performs admirably to say the least. And at basically half the price. I have consistently been getting about 8% charge every 10 minutes. Very respectable and performs up to spec as far as I can tell. If my math is correct, you are looking at about a little over 2 hours to charge from 0-100%.
I've also noticed that the charger has a fairly large sweet spot. You don't have to be perfect with putting your phone on there, it will charge off center. Another nice feature is the auto dimming. In bright light, the charger has green lights that glow while you are charging. The lights turn blue when you are fully charged. In low light, the lights get much dimmer. In the dark, the lights turn off completely. This is an awesome feature for people who are sensitive to lights while trying to sleep.
Overall, I highly recommend this charger. It charges fast (as advertised) and is sold at a great price. It is also well built and the auto dimming feature is very welcomed and a great addition that I didn't expect at this price point.
Yes, charge light was shut off completely.

The light goes off automatically in the dark. Perfect one for bedside use.
Got mine today in black. Very sleek and surprisingly dense. Short video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wMc2FBoOuY
Fast charging wirelessly is super convenient, can't say enough good things about. I know the OEM samsung fast charger has vents on the bottom because of heating. Wondering how well this will dissipate heat in the long run.
I charge over night. I would assume this would stop charging once full right? So its safe to leave it on the pad till morning... I normally unplug in the morning
How is it with placement? I can't ever seem to get phone to charge and stay charging even on 3 coil chargers
Seems to connect easily as long as you place it near the center. In the video I posted I remove and connect a few times,each time it registered fine without having to adjust placements.
Hi All,
I also just received the Choetech Quick Charger and absolutely love it! My initial impression is that the build quality is superb. It has some heft to it and seems to be built to last. The top and bottom have rubber grip zones to prevent the charger and phone from sliding around on my desk. I also like how the LED shuts off when the room is dark (great for sleeping) as I always hate bright lights at night.
As other reviewers have mentioned, it can charge the phone from 0-100% in about 2 hours which is about an hour faster then the normal wireless chargers. There's no way I would recommend buying the Samsung quick charge variant over this version as it is half the cost with the same functionality.
I haven't had any issues with the charger detecting my phone using the Spigen Liquid Crystal case and would assume that any slim fit case would be just fine.
Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the product and would recommend it! Please reach out to me if you have questions. I'll do my best to answer them in a timely manor.

I charged mine overnight and woke up to a full charge. The phone wasn't hot (and neither was the wireless charger) so I'd say that it is safe to use overnight.
I received mine today and I can actually charge my Note 5 with the flap opened and pinned back on my folio case. Here's the case I have for reference: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010MWJG0U?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
When the phone is 100% charged does the charger receive the charging complete signal from the Note 5 and cut the power output from the Choetech charger? Or is the charger at 10W all the time?
*I was given a discount for my honest opinion and review*
First off I'm more of a wire guy. I like to know that my phone is plugged in and always charging.
I did receive the free promo wireless charger from Samsung for the Samsung pay promotion. And I have to say I barley used it. I placed it downstairs in my living room with the thought that when I'm watching TV I can place it on. Never happened lol
Now on to this fast wireless charger...
The packaging was actually very simple and very nice. Something I'm a fan of.

The charger itself was very compact, I got the black color. Comes with a rubber ring along the outside circle for grip.
Lights up green to indicate that it is charging. Here it is compared to the Samsung charger
Overall I love this charger. I actually use it everyday now. I have it set up next to my laptop, which might be the reason why the constant use. Charges the phone up really quick. As fast as the wire in my opinion.
Also for such a small surface, I always place it down and it begins charging.
I think the smaller surface leads you to place the phone down just right for a charge.
Would definitely buy from choetech again.

I purchased 2 Choetech fast wireless chargers and they both went bad after a few months. Got them when I got my Note 5. Decided to buy Samsung's OEM fast wireless charger and still works. Has a built-in fan to keep it from over heating. More expensive but better in my opinion.

I purchased this charger and got it with the ChoeTech wall charger that's optimal for this wireless charging pad. So far, its been a horrible experience. I tried ti on my S7 Edge for a week and on 2 different S6 Edges. All with the same exact result, it charged approximately 25% an hour. I tried with and without a Spigen Neo Hybrid but I got the same results. I tried it directly plugged into the wall versus a powerbar and there was no difference. The phones and the charging pad would get extremely hot and charge very slowly. The connection was good though and I would get notification on the phone that it was "Fast Charging." Overall, very bad in my view. I got it directly from ChoeTech on Amazon.ca.

Thanks for the review.
One comment. When doing a review, other than obvious aesthetic judgements (e.g., does it look cool?), you should be fact based and not offer opinions on something that should be measured if you're going to report on it, like charging speed.
It's like Car and Driver saying it's their opinion that a Mustang can go 180 miles per hour. Their opinion on that isn't relevant, they need to measure the car's top speed to report on it.

**This is my original review of this charger**
**This is from back when I had a Note 5 and a LG G4**
I received my charger from Choetech yesterday and tested it with my moto 360 as well as a few of my other devices.
I figured that I should post my review (from amazon) up here due to the testing on the moto 360. I have bolded that parts people here will be interested in.
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Char...r=1-1&keywords=choetech+fast+wireless+charger
First, this is an amazing charger. Choetech always makes good products.
I received this in 2 days and set about testing it.
I was going to make a video showing off this thing fast charging on a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 but I see that there are already 2 excellent videos up showing that. So instead I will show you the things they did not highlight as much.
OK, the quick charge 2.0 wall plug you can get with this is the best one I have ever tried. Just like the other Qualcomm certified chargers, you will get the self adjusting voltages (12v-9v-5v) to give you a super fast charge. The extra you get with this Choetech quick charge 2.0 adapter is the USB port on it is reversible! This is the first charger I have seen with this and I now think everything should have this.
Ok now to the real reason you are reading this. The charging puck itself is a nice clean looking puck.

I got this exact same charger when they made a mistake on Amazon, giving it out for free after coupon code.
I finally got to try the fast wireless charging, and it heats up even more than the regular speed wireless charger.
It pulls 10-12W from a quick charger power adapter. 9V at 1.2-1.3 amp. Normal speed Qi chargers pull about 5W.
I don't know the wireless transfer efficiency, but I'm guessing they are about the same whether they use 5V or 9V. So, more energy is being transferred but also more energy turning to heat.
I am hesitant to use it without a fan, so I have a USB fan blowing on to the pad and my phone when I use wireless charging.
anyone already try new wireless charging solution by Nillkin?

If you have to connect something to charge, what's the difference between this and just connecting it normally without losing DASH charging?
maybe you just come home and put your phone on to wireless charging dock instead desk. And you dont care how long it will take to charge. I was on wireless charging on my previos phone (Nexus5) and it was perfect for me it feels good forget about charging.
I thought that I'd miss wireless charging, especially since I invested in Qi chargers in the house and cars but I found dash charge to be a LOT more convenient.
Same here. I thought I would miss qi charging, but I've been okay without it. I bought a couple USB-C docks for my nightstand and work desk. I'm not using dash charge on them but it charges quickly enough without it.
Purchased one of these and it arrived today. It's a bit picky with detection on my two upright wireless charging docks requiring it be sat at an angle, but it does work. Flat docks may work better. Charging time is assumed slower but I don't have an exact number. Last thing to note is the angled USB-C plug, you won't be able to pull it out without giving the ribbon cable some slack by moving the pad downward, so if you're using a case over the pad you may need to remove it on occasion as needed.

There is only one small strip (2cm x 0.5cm) of some sort of 3M adhesive. I haven't bothered taking the protective layer off to try it since it will be underneath a case and I anticipate having to move it to access the USB port anyways as I mentioned.

ok cool so it stays stable under the case without the adhesive. just ordered one. dash is great but the convenience of dropping my phone on a pad at night is great
Usability
Could you put this inside a case, and leave it in? Theoretically leaving the phone as a wireless charging device.
The question is: Would this work through a case? Would efficiency be decreased?

Depends on the case.I'll be putting mine between the phone and case. Its trial and error with thickness .though the manufacturer says i think like .2mm I'll leave it in all the time.kind of like a dust cover too

I got my hands on an ordinary flat charging pad and the phone properly charges positioned pretty much anywhere on the pad.

Cases typically aren't thick enough to prevent the system from charging unless the distance and position of the coils is already at its limit, like with my upright charging docks which were made with smaller phones in mind. Nicer and newer chargers will have multiple coils for better coverage. Case materials like metal however will prevent all charging through them, which is why wireless charging and NFC has been excluded from many recent phones. Increasing distance does decrease the efficiency but probably not to a significant amount in this scenario.
Certain cases will have tighter tolerances for fitting this device underneath than others. I would say the pad gets about as thick as a US quarter in the middle. You also need enough space around the USB port for the plug and ribbon cable. I will try the stock OnePlus 3 sandstone case once it arrives, but my current $3 clear vinyl case is fine, just a bit wobbly when laying on a flat surface.
Are you able to use the USB type c cable when you have the adapter installed?

You'll have to unplug it
got my adapter on Thursday.Got married Sunday and was out of town and in hotels for a few days so i got some good testing time with this. it works great. im using it with an anker qi charger. i have it behind a rubber case and i have no problems with it. it charges slow obviously but its stupid easy and at least with the anker qi charger there is a big sweet spot.
I must be missing something but this thing seems to me to be a power pack that you plug in via the sub port, however small.

It's a Qi compliant inductive coil for wireless charging
Ahhh. I though this small metal strip was all you needed. Should have paid more attention to it.
Just wanted to confirm that this wireless charging pad fits fine underneath the official Sandstone case from OnePlus. You will still have to remove the case to remove the plug to access the USB C slot, but other than that it works just fine.
Complete utter rubbish based on what it actually does:
1. Charges at only ~650 mAh rate (slow to hell, my USB PC & Laptop & Tiny client is faster then this, I can get up to 1400mAh with my set up(s) if not using DASH charge).
2. Can not plug OTG-USB, connect to a PC at will or use DASH charge if not removed.
3. Not all protective cases are ok with this external QI pad.
Based only on these 3, it's a complete fail...... and so on... until it is a complete and utter fail yet again.
Verdict: a total waste of money.
