Does it work with a case by chance?

No case so I cannot answer that. However on my S4 with the sview case flipped behind it, it works.

I can't confirm, but others on XDA in the G2 forums have used a case with success. Qi technology should not be affected by even the likes of an Otterbox. Search the threads, someone has confirmed it already.
I just got the LG wireless charger from Amazon and it works even with the quick window case flipped back! I'm surprised at how well this charger works.

Verizon LG G2 cradle
I use my phone as a clock and alarm clock at night, so I needed a cradle.
I just got the EZOPower Micro-USB Dock Cradle Desktop SmartPhone Charger for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 III / Galaxy Mega Android Cell Phone from Amazon for $20 after shipping.
Sorry I can't submit a link yet, I'm too new, but copy/paste this into Amazon:
EZOPower Micro-USB Dock Cradle Desktop SmartPhone Charger for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 III / Galaxy Mega Android Cell Phone
It works great, however I don't have a case for the G2 yet. I'll report back when I get a case.
The phone will slow charge when you use the USB cable and AC adapter that were provided with the cradle. But, if you plug the LG USB cable and AC adapter into the cradle, it will fast charge. Also, if you plug the cradle into the LG USB cable and the EZO AC adapter, it will also fast charge.
Hope this helps somebody,
Mike

I'm using a RAM X-grip in my car and it works fantastic.
I just started looking for the same thing again today and found one good candidate;
http://www.gadgets4geeks.com.au/product/lg-g2-desktop-dock-charging-cradle - supports cases too...
Here's another: http://www.clove.co.uk/konnet-icrado-neo-smartphone-desktop-cradle-black
not my thing but does offer some flexibility if you change phones a lot
Similar to my first one (very similar) from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/EZOPower-Micro-USB-Desktop-Charger-Smartphone/dp/B00BSHV9L8
This one is intriguing (also supports big fat cases)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/KiDiGi-RUGG...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item4615bf47cf
This one is sleek, inexpensive with reasonable shipping - I think I am going to grab at least one...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/DESKTOP-CHA...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item5af945d8f3
I personally think the iQ stuff is junk.
I'll update if I find better.
Feb 12 2014 Update:
I bought two of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390738004029
from China - delivery was slower than some but very average BUT this DOES not work for my D803.
The usb plug is extended to allow for a phone with a (fat) case and therefore when I put my naked phone on it is suspended in the air by the plug outlet. I contacted the seller and in addition to the language barrier they want nothing to do with the problem and, frankly, I don't have time to bicker over $20
Back on the hunt
Old thread but I will chime in. Lg g2 vs980. Using the amazing tylt qi charger. Its not junk at all. Expensive, yes. Down side: daydream only recognizes it charging. Not as a docking station. So it goes in and out of daydream when it goes back and forth between charging states. Looking for a way mod the charger or the phone to address this issue. Chime in if you have an idea. Peace outside!

OK Last one is a fail... apparently there is a LG-G2x and I missed the distinction.
I had the official Samsung dock for my previous Galaxy S4.
Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...93126633&sr=1-4&keywords=samsung+speaker+dock
It works great on my LG G2 (LS980) in terms of charging but the speaker function is not functional though.
I haven't driven in years due to chronic illness and since my wife has been using the car she's gone through over a half dozen car adapters!
I've tried official Samsung car chargers (two of them), one expensive one from Bell Canada, several that you plug a separate usb cable to and maybe three others that that were simply "generic car chargers"... they simply stop working after a few months and I don't know what else to do.
I'm in Canada so we have cold winters and fairly warm summers and we've tried leaving the chargers in the car all the time (which is what I've done in the past with out problems) and her keeping them in her purse and using it when needed, but they still "die" quickly.
What charger would you recommend for durability? I don't want to spend $50 on a charger, since replacing them every few months isn't an option, but I'll consider anything that works.
Thanks in advance.
http://www.amazon.ca/Anker-18W-3-6A-Car-Charger/dp/B00B8M4IMK/ - highly recommend.
Scosche best IMO
I have used Anker batteries and battery packs and they work well. Their car chargers though I've had issues with, as they never actually put out the output they claim to.
Now, I've used an earlier model Scosche charger from YEARS ago and it's still going strong. I recently upgraded to this one because it truly does put out 2 amps for my Note 2 so it will charge my phone WHILE I'm using it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003N7NO4Q
Please keep in mind, the usb cable being used does play a HUGE part in how efficiently your phone will charge as well. I ordered the cables pictured here and they work like a champ. Yes, they are fake Samsung cables, but they work better than any other cable I've used for both data and charging.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001XXUOQI
Thanks. I will check out both recommendations.

I ended up getting the Anker charger... it comes with an 18 months warranty, so we'll see what happens. I'm sure if it was made of solid iron my wife could find a way to damage it somehow... she's also gone through a dozen AC adapters (I've never had to replace mine for any device in the last 15 years...).
Doesn't make sense. Could it be the phone or battery?

No, the charger will work just fine. It won't charge your phone unless it supports qi charging, of course. Ie: Vermizon model only as far as I know.
Well look here. Today I found out my phone has wireless charging!
Yea only the Verizon model has QI. I ended up buying 2 of them and they're great. Sucks they have a proprietary barrel power cable but it seems to charge much faster then my Samsung USB one made for a Note 3. I still use my Samsung one for travel.
Great :good:
Hello i just making this thread for people to share what you think is the best qi charger.
Things to leep in mind are time from 0 to 100 % charge. Desing, and also if the phone has to be placed a certain spot or anywhere..
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
I have this one. Don't know if it's the best, but it was a steal and it works great for me. No special placement needed. I can't test with a case, as I don't have one.

I've had a tylt charger and have loved it on my G2. There's no "sweet spot" because it just sits there. Nice because it's upright and you can see your phone. BUT...the note 5 doesn't work in portrait/upright. It cycles charge disconnect over and over. It does work perfectly in landscape though. I use it when im sleeping so no biggie. There are similar wireless charging cradles on amazon that say they work specifically for the Note 5. As for speed...they're all slow. Unless you get the Samsung fast wireless charger.

I am currently using this one I got from Amazaon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010B6PSMC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 They had a sale on it earlier and I got it for 25. I should have gotten a 2nd one, I love it.I have a case on it and do not have to worry about putting it in special spot for it to charge (works the same vertical or horizontal). As far as the time it takes to charge, it usually says anywhere from 1 to 2 hours when I place my phone on the charger. It may take longer but I usually not paying attention to the time it takes. If I am in a hurry to charge, I typically use my fast charger but otherwise I would place this on the wireless charger and let it do its thing. I did have another one that was a horizontal QI receiver and it was ok but too many times I put the phone on the charger before bed and wake up to phone that is not fully charge. With the CHOETECH Iron Stand QI Wireless, I do not have to worry about it. With so many other QI chargers out there for less, my only wish is that the price was little cheaper. Overall, I love this unit and highly recommend it.
There seems many users are talking about charging issues with their wireless charger. Luckily I had not such issue with my Iron Charger Stand so far. It works stable and its brushed aluminum matches my gold Note 5 device.

So with the tylt charger, with the note and s6 if you lay a pen on the ledge and then place the phone on top of it, charges perfect in portrait. The phone just needs to be pushed up about an inch to match up the coils I guess.

Fast charge wireless charger requires 9v 1.67a input, means you will also need an adaptive fast charger(quick charge 2.0) as power supply.

I got impatient and asked my gf (Korean in Korea currently) to see if Samsung released them there yet. Turns out they did so she picked up a black Fast Charge pad for me today!
Now to wait for 2 weeks while it makes it's way here...:victory:

Their Korean price is 55000 won, which is about $46 usd. Way cheaper than what Samsung is selling them for on the USA site.
Just wondering how loud your chargers are?
Mine is louder than my entire PC (which is pretty noise-optimised to be fair).
And the fan is on all the time while charging (ive heard that its meant to turn off when its not hot) .
I'm getting really annoyed by this charger.
A charger that makes noise??? I don't even hear mine. It's not a fast but regular wireless.

The fast charger has a fan in it, so its just a regular fan whirring noise.

It's really quiet, I get more "coil noise" from some of my other fast chargers. My Surface Pro 4's fan is 10x louder than the Samsung Fast wireless charger, so unless there's a jet turbine in his I doubt it's that loud.
Ah thats a bummer. I guess mine might be defective :/
I am using new series S7 but it charger is not best
Hear it occasionally but the fan only seems to kick in when it's warm.

Does it say 'Wireless Fast charging' on the screen when you place it on?
Are you using the fast charging cable/wall adapter that came with your phone?
I'm using a spigen neo hybrid case and fast wireless charging works fine (and very quick too)

Just as an update. I have 3 now. Two from the same seller. One from a different seller. All appear to be legit.
All 3 are quite loud. One in particular i think is broken because of how loud it is
All have the same sn on the actual charger. rf7g80ag77acis
The box for #1 and #2 have differnet numbers, but #3 has the same one.
I am using a Samsung USB Power Plug.Do you have tried another?Tell us the bad thing so that we could avoid being defrauded:good:
I dont have another plug to try unfortunately, and the wall chargers are quite expensive.
I'm starting to think all these ebay chargers are legit, but maybe not A+ stock. Maybe the fans are loud (all 3), or the paint is peeling a bit (two of mine)
Totally guessing here.
I go into wayy more discussion plus photos over here: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2525674&p=-1&
I am using it. The fans is extremely silent. No fans spinning sound.

Someone on whirlpool took one apart, along with a legit one. Components inside were identical. Also the weights matched. Packaging was identical, fast charging works perfectly (confirmed on all three of mine).
There are a lot of fakes on eBay I agree. But they all cost $15 or so. The ones I purchased were $40 and $50 from sellers many others on whirlpool had purchased from
And in reply to the guy who said the fan doesn't turn on when not using a Samsung fast charger adapter.... Yeah that's by design. Same result by switching off fast charging in the phone settings. Fan doesn't turn on

Do you have a link to the teardown? I'm interested to see what's inside componentwise.
Don't mean to derail this thread but instead of creating a new one. I've been meaning to ask: does your Samsung fast wireless pad not turn off (blue lights are still lit up) after charging your phone to 100%? I've got the proprietary standard wireless charging pad but it automatically shuts off once done charging my phone. I'm suspecting a problem with the former but would like to be sure so I went ahead posting it here..
Thanks in adVance!
