Personal review of the Nexus S KiDiGi Desktop Dock

KiDiGi dock
I got tired of samsung taking forever to release a desktop dock, so I went and bought the kidigi and have been using it for a week now. I have to say the dock is amazing . It fits the phone perfectly and holds it in tight . My test for a good dock is if i can place the phone to charge when im drunk, and i have to say its a good dock. . I had a seidio and it was a pain getting the micro usb to line up.

maybe a few picture of the dock?

Sorry cant show you phone on the dock, i dont have a camera besides my phone.

Does the dock fit the phone very tightly or would there be room for a silicone case?
Looks good though. I wondered about mounting one of these permenantly in the car instead of using a brodit active holder

This fits really tight and no room for case. Would be a really good car mount, the phone doesn't move at all, but don't know about permanently mounting something to a car.

using this as a car mount is actually a good idea, just use some strong velcrow. but the downside is that you wouldnt be able to the 3.5mm headphone jack due to the design. what a pitty for people like me who use aux for audio

Does this dock cause the Nexus S to go into dock mode?

I have dock from Odds and Pods.
It looks exactly the same as one described in this thread but no KiDiGi label on it.
Few things which might be helpful for some.
Mine phone did not went into dock mode until I modified dock:

Dock working fine with Best Skin Ever attached - so there is some room for protection also.
I would not recommend this dock to use it in the car. Not in the place where I live.
If you have only smooth roads, no bumps at all - then yes - maybe. But your phone is not hold in docking station by anything but small USB plug.
Imagine what will happen with this on some bumps.
Consider buying this one for car instead:

Also I have a question to thread author.
Does your dock working OK in USB transfer mode?

Mine just showed up and I was pleasantly suprised of the build quality. Fits perfect.
I got the one with the spare battery compartment.
Best part about it is that it charges the phone, syncs usb, and charges the spare all at the same time rather than one at a time like some of my older versions i've bought.
If it only had an audio out jack in the back it would be the ultimate.
Ordered it here but can be found cheaper with some research: http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlineshop/online_shop_detail.php?pid=5692 showed up in 10 days

So the usb sync works, transfer files, on the one you got? Just want to make sure since the other person said it only charged his phone (unless I read it wrong).

Works perfectly fine.... They ship it with 2 different cables, 1 is obviously for data transfer and the other is for charging... you can tell because one is thick vs the other very skinny... so I hope whoever said it didn't work didn't get their wires crossed up!

Could you please tell us where you could find it cheaper ? Because, personally, I find that is has a very nice design compared to other alternatives, so I would really like to buy it. Preferably cheaper than 27$. So, again, please tell us where to find it cheaper. Thanks !
Also, on their site, it says that under DC and USB charging, the output is 500mAh. My Nexus S DC charger says 700 mAh. How is that going to affect the charging time ? Almost +1/3 of what it is right now ?
I also understood from other sources, that USB can only give a max output of 500 mAh, is that true ? So the only down-side for this dock is the 500 mAh DC output... it would've been better if it had 1A.

Can't help you out with the rest, but yes, USB ports can only output up to 500 mAh.

Bump. Does the phone enter dock mode?

Does this fit with the I9023 also?

So, where do you find it cheaper ?

Anyway, I found it on shop.brando.com (I think it's a replica of the KiDiGi model). Unfortunately, I can't post links here, so if you want to find it, do a search for "Google Nexus S USB Cradle" on their site. It's 18$ only for charging the phone and 25$ with a slot for charging the battery. That's compared to 27$ and 31$ respectively for those 2 from KiDiGi.
Also, apart from the KiDiGi models and these replicas, I've also found the chinese ones on eBay. Those are around 10$ each, but I don't quite recommend those. They also come with a 500 mA DC charger each, so there's nothing good here, opposed to the 1A charger that comes with the KiDiGi and those replicas on brando shop.
Hope this helps somebody.

No, it does not enter dock mode. Tested on both ports.

Hey Samsung, where is my wireless charging solution?

Isn't the Note 2 equipped with wireless charging functions? Anyone seen the accessories for wireless charging yet? Like a replacement back cover (if needed) or the cradle for the wireless charging?

It supossed to be a galaxy s3 accesorie but its time that note2 ships and the charger not hahaha i think samsung will never launch the item maybe next year

I am going to attempt to mod my Note 2 tomorrow after I receive it cause I assume that the two pins by the battery are the wireless charging pins as seen on an S3... The other two upper pins are for the NFC chip on the back plate (of course) This will be challenging as the palm charger mod for the S3 was with a smaller phone so I will have to modify my setup a lil... I have no doubt that those are for wireless charging.... They are in the same position as the S3 charging pins even with the screw next to the pins... Hmmm? Multimeter time...:good:

Even if you mod the phone to charge wirelessly I have never seen a wireless charging mat that has more than 1amp current and note II requires 2amp

It doesn't require 2 amps, it just charges faster with 2amps
My old SGS2 chargers work fine, albeit slowly, with my note 2

This seller on ebay has gotten the OEM Note 2 back covers, and added the wireless charging from the Palm Pre to work with the Palm Touchstone.

It looks like it works and I'm thinking about getting this. A bit expensive though but is sick!

Interesting, although those are not the charging antennas from the Palm Pre. I assume it is the same technology, though.

Interesting concept. Does the Palm Touchstone have the output capability of 2A that the Note requires? I have a bunch of Touchstone docks lying around (from the $5 fire sale) and am interested, but I doubt the current is high enough to charge properly.
Nevermind, read above. Guess it will work, but will be real slow. Not worth the price, IMO. Also, shipping by Nov 28! By the time it reaches us, Samsung will probably have it's genuine solution for sale lol!

I don't think it matters if it's 1A. You can just use the 2A wall plug from your Note 2 right?

Guess it depends if the full 2A current will continuously pass through via conductive charging.

This wireless charging dock should be working at 2amps because it is for the hp touchpad tablet which requires 2amps.

If I apply the palm coil to the note 2 and put my note 2 on this dock will it charge at 2amps? Can anyone try with his 25 bucks?

I tried an HP Touchstone with palm/pixi coil, couldn't get it to work. Anyways, the palm touchstone gave me about 460mA as I remember, on my S3 btw. A larger supply didn't effect that, something either the coil or the phone limited the throughput.

Bleah, it looks like the Chinese already built one of those inductive chargers for the Note II. Just some stickers and careful placement, and you will get your wireless charging. Seriously wtf is Samsung doing?

which coil is better to use with the touchstone dock? the pixie or the pre coil? the pre coil is 2x the price of a pixie coil. also can u recommend me a good&cheap conductive adhesive from amazon?

Be very careful with wireless charging solutions. So far I've heard they charge rather slowly, approx 6-8hrs for s3. I cnt even imagine how long note 2 would take to charge.
The magnetic induction thingy may be limiting the max current that goes into the phone

The pixi has a slightly smaller IC package and a small flexible contact arm that can be easily modified. Current wise, no difference.

I am about to do the mod though using my touchstone for hp touchpad with a 2amp charger. I actually use the 2 amp charger now on my note 1 and charges great and fast

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wireless-Ch...549896?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2323725188
Found this on eBay, the charging module is $25 (£15.60) the touchstone charger I've seen on amazon for £5.30, for over 20 quid you've got a cheap alternative for wireless charging the only thing is you have to stick it on the case yourself and line up the pins.
I'm planning on doing the mod myself by tearing the module out of the Palm Pre casing and placing it in my case.
On the Note the charging pins are top pin positive & bottom pin negative. Hopefully the Palm Pre case will come tomorrow and i will upload some pictures of doing the mod.

Just done the Wireless Mod now, working good.

Best wireless charging pad for leather + Qi/NFC sticker?

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.
I just toss it on it and I have no issues

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.

Review: New ChoeTech wireless fast charger T511-S

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.

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

That is a nice Spigen Slim Armor Case you got there. I have the same one, but I got the gun metal gray back color instead

Is this the same one?
w w w .amazon.de/gp/product/B017KA9USU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_titl e_2&smid=AS3H8BMRCXYCT
Because it says TS511Q and not S
Item model number: CHOE-T511Q
ASIN: B017KA9USU
and also the asin number is different . (maybe because USA/Europe) ?
I hope someone can help me!

anyone knows my question?

Yes, it says 'QI Ladegerät Schnellladegerät' and looks exactly the same.
They seem to have two models, one for fast charging and one for standard charging.

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.

Accessories Does anyone have 80W wireless charger ?

I have ordered mine, but i am curious about temps while charging, if it is better/worser then wired charging?(this charger have fan inside) I also ordered oficial xiaomi flip cover to make sure that charging works even with that flipcover

I just ordered a 80w wireless charger from Aliexpress myself today, curious to know if someone used it already and can report about the temps.
Cheers !

Yes i ordered it from aliexpress too but yesterday, now let the waiting game begins :-D

Hehe yeah, 3 months.. i do hope the seller took in consideration my request for some good package protection .
I will be patient but want want it to reach me in one piece

Got mine today from aliexpress. 1,5weeks deliverytime. Its very loud on fullpower, but keeps the device cold at charging. Just got mine in the livingroom for a "pitstop charge". In my bedroom i got the 55w wireless charger. which is much quieter. Packaging was really protective with a layer of air cushion.

Wow this is nice . Glad to hear that it actually cools the phone while charging.
One quick question, does the 55w one charge the phone horizontally or only vertically ?
Not knowing this i opted for the 80w one.
.
Thanks !

Moment, i will check...
Edit: the 55w charger works just in vertical position. For horizontal charging you can put something on the standing for the phone, to rise it a little (around 1cm) Then it reaches the "charging position".

I have 55W charger too and it dont work horizontally, not on Mi10 ultra or mi 11 ultra, main different betwen 55W and 80W is that 80W have 2 coils(55W one), so this is why is posible to charge horizontally with 80w charger

Thanks for the info, my thoughts exactly.
Also saw a video on YT where a guy is trying to charge a zfold flip but it only charges when is above the fan.
So yeah, i guess it was good to go for the 80w version, not to mention that the stand+charger (80W) batter value than stand only (55w) imo based on the prices i found them to be .
