Hello all
Just got a Note 5 the other day and put it in a Otterbox Defender case as with the environments I work in I have to have something to this level.
Am still hoping I can use the wireless charging though and just wonder if anyone else has tried it with this kind of a setup.
Thanks for any help.
It works with the standard Samsung wireless charger. It has to be lined up just right though

Thanks greatly justin94 for such a quick answer
So...lined up?
Where it the sweat spot?
Is there anything the tells me if I don't have it in the right spot?
Also should have posted this on the OP, but does it charge slower with having it in the Otterbox?
Can any give me a general estimate for how long with it say from 10-15%?
Could it be as much as 5-6 hours?
Thanks

Just move it up and down slowly until you feel the vibration and the animation plays. AFAIK, wether you go naked or use a case, the wireless charging speed is the same. I can say that I ever tested it myself. Wireless charging is inherently slower than standard USB charging.
I use wireless ever morning when I go to bed, so I don't really time it. All I know is its fully charged when I wake up after about 4 hours and I put it on when it's around 60%
Cool thanks so much for the help.

If you buy the right wireless charger it can charge the phone from 5% to 100% in less than 80 minutes! I got the Pleson Wireless Fast charge though and it charges right through my case and it was only 18 dollars on Amazon!

Thanks for the heads up.
Before I read this I bought the CHOE QI Fast Charge which was about the same price.
In looking at the specs, its rated at 10w max, while the Pleson is 13.5.
I know ratings can be what they can be, but I did buy the CHOE to try an if it works was going to get two more as I need that many.
So if it all goes OK perhaps will try the Pleson instead and see if its better.
Thanks for the help

So I have been doing a lot of looking and this is my first phone with Wireless/Qi charging. Here is what I found so far. What is everyones experience, favorites, and ones to avoid? Two of the main issues Ive seen are, how finicky is the charger on where you place the phone. And does it trickle charge. If it "turns off" at 100%, your phone will start to discharge and youll wake up at 90%.
LG-WCP-300 - seems a little small. Would love a slab type that I can just plop my phone down and hot worry it'll tip over because I put it too far to one side. It charges at 1.8 which is nice (I think per androidcentral, the power cord is 1.8, but the base drops it down to 1A, oh well)

Nokia DT-90 - some say you have to get it in that "sweet" spot, which is annoying when you are wanting to just put it down and go to sleep.

Panasonic Qi Charging Pad QE-TM101-K - doesnt trickle charge. So when it gets to 100...it turns off, then when your phone gets to ~95% it turns back on and then on and then off...and so on...no good. Although the size and ability to put it ANYWHERE and know itll start charging it perfect.

Energizer - its very slick and a little angled so some phones (probably not the G2?) tend to slide down it and you wake up with your phone on the floor http://www.energizer.com/portable-power/wireless-chargers/qi-wireless/Pages/single-charger.aspx
I got the Nokia for my G2 based on all the reviews. No sweet spot needed so far. I just basically place the phone on the plate and it charges.
Went with the Nokia as well.Works fine.
I like the devices offered by TYLT - not only the QI charger due to its ability to serve as a table stand while charging the phone, but also the power plant and the USB connector cables are interesting. The design is nice, too. Has anyone recognized this brand and used their products?
Really like the Tylt Vu....been eyeing it forawhile, and may scoop one up.
I'm also interested in this: http://www.nokia.com/global/products/accessory/cr-200/ A little pricey but A LOT of functionality.
do you all charge your devices every night? all the old talk about not charging your device all the time so you don't "wear" out your battery. Is it actually better to have a charger that turns off and on? I liked the tylt charger too, thinking that or the nokia.

I have it and I'm very happy with it. Charges quickly despite specs and there is no "sweet spot." Just drop and charge. Also, I like the cable from the wall outlet to the base was longer than most so it sits nicely on my desk at work.

A couple of days ago I ordered a TYLT Vu off their website for $70 shipped. I will report my experience with it once it arrives.
Just picked up the LG one from Verizon. Works great with case on. USB cable and wall plug seems identical to what came with the phone.

Verizon is the only one.
Just pulled the trigger on the TYLT VU, liked the idea of having it upright a little. I think the LG charges faster but Ill be charging overnight so no biggie. FYI...Nordstrom is $100 but from TYLT is $70!
dt-900 is $25 @ AT&T's store... if you have a premium corporate discount, drops another 50%.. Just got 2 for $25 shipped
I picked this one up, but now i'm unsure because it says there is a 1A output, doesn't that mean it will say it's slow charging? Love the idea of being able to charge on the go.

I got a Yes Digi Qi charger from Amazon (link). It works just fine with my G2. The first time I put it on it kept connecting/disconnecting the power rapidly, until I realized it has to sit up just a tad above being centered. I haven't had any problems since.
I haven't received my case yet (Incipio DualPro), so I don't know if it will work with it. I have, however, gotten it to charge through a stack of about 20 sheets of printer paper so I'm sure it'll be fine with a case.
Update: Just got my case yesterday. I can happily report that the charger works with the case. Yay!
Thanks! I will be receiving this as a gift. Hopefully it works...

The LED is very good to tell you if the link is good. Easy to locate the good spot.
Charge pretty quick (VZW LG G2, Nexus 7 all with covers).
Nokia DT-900 Half-off
The Nokia DT-900 is currently half-off on att.com, if anyone's interested.
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/chargers/sku6290260.html#fbid=Qec_2FFDzlV
The Nokia's look like they are small and thick. I'd like to see some pics of the Nokia with a G2.
The Lerway looks similar to my Samsung model except it lacks the LED, which I can do without. I'd spend $20 on a Qi Charger. Can't see spending $50+ though.
DERP!
Just watched a Youtube video and realized the Nokia DT-900 Qi Charger uses a stupid barrel plug for power. FAIL. Instant fail. I travel and love being able to take 1 wall adapter, 1 MicroUSB cable, and my Qi Charging plate and it lets me Qi Charge, or charge my headphones, or tablet, controllers, etc.
Not interested in a Qi Charger that requires its own power supply. I'd rather do the LerWay or try to find another Samsung for $24 (what I paid for mine).

That's pretty cool! Let us know if the 2.1A output will achieve fast charge. I just got a power bank and even with the 2A output it slow charges.
I don't think you're getting a fast charge with Qi. I think the transfer rate is super slow which is a limitation of the current technology.

...not a charging pad
This is a receiver that is charged from a charging pad, not a charging pad itself. Not sure if that was clear....

Does that charge as fast as a normal charger? I think wireless charging would be nice (though not really necessary) so if it works just as fast or faster i might get one but if not then i dont see the benefit for myself. Thanks

Whoops, sorry I took so long to respond. It's definitely slower than the wired charger that came with the G2. But on the other hand, I'm in and out of my office throughout the day, so it's nice to just pop it on when I'm in and let it sip some juice. It's usually full before noon, even with me putting it on and off. I don't charge it overnight so it gets down to about 30-40% depending on my use the rest of the previous day.

I came across an old review that said it put out 1A.

I wouldn't skimp out on a cheap wireless charger. being that wireless charging puts a bit of wear & tear on the battery i would opt for a better one that at least give you piece of mind. the problem with the cheap chargers is they can create unnecessary wasted energy that will create more heat on your device/battery. more heat = degrade battery faster.
here is one i would recommended that doesn't break the bank:
RAVPower Wireless Charging Pad: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PY1YBA0/
outputs at 5v @ 1A.
it's $19 and great reviews. protect your investment and spend a few bucks more for a more reliable charger.

Did you even look at the link before posting? This isn't some off brand Chinese charger, it's the Duracell PMA charger that came or with the iPhone 4 this it's muh cheaper due to its age and not quality.

I wonder if Qi or PMA is better for the S6 although it can support both....hmmm is one newer technology than the other? Or are we talking the same charging technology, but with two name tags like Coke and Pepsi?
Thanks for the heads up, this is a great deal for sure, especially with the spare battery pack. in for one.

yes, and it's discontinued which is why it's so cheap,. my local Radioshack had them for $8.
the Samsung will work with either charging technology, but Qi charging seems to be the winning "standard" for wireless charging, almost all newer phones are more likely to come with Qi compatibility rather than PMA. so while the PMA might work fine, chances are your $8.99 discontinued charger might not be compatible with your next phone. Nexus 6/5/4/7, Sony Xperia Z3V, Motorola, etc All use Qi. i would much rather spend $10 more and at least i know it will work with my future phones since i upgrade almost yearly..
IT WORKS!!! I'll test to see how long it takes to get to fully charged once I drop this bad boy down to 50%.

Well how well did it do? Does it get very hot after wirelessly charging for a while?
I bought two of these and just tested one out. Seems to work great and actually charged my phone faster than I thought it would. One huge drawback for me that I'm not sure is a problem with Qi is that it would not charge with my case on. I think PMA requires the magnet portion to catch in order to work and that's going to be difficult with any case.

I fell asleep around 130am and the phone was at 43%, woke up for work at 450am and it was fully charged and not hot or even warm at all. I'm gonna have to do a real time drain and charge on my day off to see how long it officially takes.
Also, I have the Samsung slim case on it and it charged with it on.

Interesting. I have a couple of those Lumia Chargers still when the Lumia 900 released that I got for free? or cheap. Gotta dig them up somewhere but it would be cool to use those if they work. I remember charging the Nexus 4 on it was a nightmare cause you had it angle it EXACTLY right or it wouldn't charge.

Appreciate it - just ordered a white one.
thx for the post. ordered a wireless charger as well. for 10 bucks you cant go wrong.
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.

That's one way to keep the charging port pristine!
Is having a wireless charger truly easier than just plugging it in? I've also heard of people using a charger in places like under a table or couch and being able to charge their device without seeing the charger. Is this true? Cool if so!
I Just Got the Speigen one last night. Its nIce To sit down when going to bed. It IS slow though. I have the ampere app which measures charging. When on the Samsung wired charger input hovers around 1000 to 1200mah. On the wireless it is all over the place from 100 to 350mah. I've seen it as low as 10mah. So it's really something to just set it on before bed unless the Samsung on has a much better charging Rate. I got that one half price in exchange for a review so the Samsung one may be in my future if it charges a lot faster. It does however work through my ottorbox. Those higher numbers are bare phone though with no case. This one is supposed to be strong due to the 3 coil design. I call BS.
Now there are websites that sell the 3 coil parts so that you can make your own or integrate it into furniture. I'm thinking about ordering it so I can build it into my center console

It would be something like this to make your own.

You really can build into furniture? Cool!!
I have both the Samsung Fast Charging and Choetech Fast Charging wireless chargers and love them both. For me, they both charge fast... comparable to the charger that comes with Note5 I have and S6 E+ my wife has. I have no complaints from either about their performance.

Get the ampere app and see what kind of charging rates you get please. I'd be curious to see

Is having a wireless charger truly easier than just plugging it in? I've also heard of people using a charger in places like under a table or couch and being able to charge their device without seeing the charger. Is this true? Cool if so!

It's easier once you get the hang of the "charge zone" on your phone. If you don't set it down properly on the charger then it may not charge.
I have one at work and at home. I just set it down and don't have to have and loose usb charging cord hanging around when I am not charging.
Does anyone know a good wireless charger that its light can be turned off while charging? I can't stand lights on when i'm trying to sleep at night.
I made an accessory for mine. It fits the case perfectly and provides perfect alignment every time, even in complete darkness. Engineers, pay attention:

The three coil design only means a larger charging area, I have the same charger, unless yours is broken I don't know what your are calling bs on. Compared to my old ghost 100 that I had to meticulously place my nexus 6 on this one is pretty much just drop the phone on it, landscape or portrait and it charges fine.
I have a glass table in front of my TV that something like this would work great on. Now that they are so much cheaper than before, any recommendations?
