[Q] Wireless charger?

Is anyone aware of a wireless charger that would enable the fast charging speeds of the charger in the box?

I believe the limitation of Qi is 500 - 700 mA unfortunately.

I think, but not sure, that you can use and qi wireless charger as long as it's connected with the included (and rather large) Droid Turbo power adapter.

I cant imagine you would need to use the turbo charger for this. Like SBC44 said the speed is going to be limited fairly low with wireless charging. It wouldn't be possible to charge that fast with wireless technologies, at least not with the current technology. The turbo charger moves a lot of juice.
Here is some good reading if your interested.

From the article "Slower charging – due to the lower efficiency, devices can take longer to charge when supplied power is equal."

I dont think so.. wall chargers are more powerful than wireless chargers.. Wireless chargers are still need to improve alot..

Wireless charging takes more than overnight!
Do not waste your money on the Verizon wireless charger. The battery in this is so big that even overnight does not bring a phone that was down to 25% up to a full charge.

Thanks for letting us know. I was about to buy the Verizon wireless charger 2 days ago when I was buying all my accessories for the phone. Would've been a bummer to find out how slow the wireless charger chargers. Thanks.

The TYLT brand wireless charger is capable of normal wall plug speeds. It will be much faster than the average Qi charger but at the same time the turbo charger is amazing. I do not know of a charger that can charge as fast as the turbo charger but this TYLT brand is pretty good. The only reason I would get a wireless charger is to reduce wear and tear on my microUSB port (the culprit for retiring most of my previous android devices).
I also think its common knowledge that rapid charging and discharging of LiPo batteries reduces the overall life expectancy. I'm not sure what Motorola is doing with this whole "rapid charge and non removable battery" thing. Its possible that Turbo users can prolong the life of their batteries by charging at normal rates but I honestly don't have enough info to make a confident statement about that.
Here's the fastest Qi charger that I know of right now:

I also use the Tylt Vu and am very pleased with it. Looking forward to their wireless car dock.

Is there an actual model thats being advertised for release? Ive been searching everywhere for the right wireless car dock. Im trying to minimize my usage on the microUSB port.
That goes for everyone. If you know of any good wireless Qi car mounts /docks that would be superb. I drive all day every day.

Their website just says coming soon, but Android Police did a hands-on post about it a couple of weeks ago. Looks like the price will be about $80 (!).
I currently use this wireless car dock and haven't had any problems with it..

I was thinking of getting this car mount, but wasnt sure how it would work with the turbo. I have a few questions for you;
do you have a case on it? if so which one... i have the otterbox commuter...
what car are you using it in?
are you using the suction cup or vent connection?
any info would be helpful!

sorry won't let me post links yet... been a long time lurker on xda first time poster

I'm not using a case on the Turbo, but I used it with an HTC One M8 with a Commuter case and it worked fine. I drive a Chevy Avalanche and mounted the cradle using a ProClip vehicle mount and one of their adapter plates for an XM Radio believe it or not. That matches up pretty well with the tab on the back of the Choetech mount, but I did have to wrap a few rubber bands around the tab so it was tight enough.

I've used this one for close to a year with various devices. It does charge at 1.2a but is limited by the wireless receiver, most are .75a or less. That being said, this unit works great with my BN turbo. It is always at 99-100% after about 7 hours on night stand even when starting below 20%. Currently I'm not using a case, but I have a Commuter case I used for awhile and the wireless charger still worked fine through the case.

May be available in the end of 2015!
Right now there is no wireless charger that supports faster charging but it will soon be available in the end of 2015 as it is under developing state.

I have the Tylt and it says it supports the rapid charging. I can't say it is as fast as the wall charger since I've only had it a few days, but it does seem that the initial charge is very fast.
Also, very stylish. The wife doesn't even complain about leaving it on the night stand.

Bought the TYLT when I pick up the DT its well worth the $75. It charges faster than all my other home Qi chargers and it keeps the phone at a decent angle for viewing. It is not able to keep up with the draw of TS3 Viewer though, but not really a normal issue. I use this charger everyday and it will charge the phone from sub 15% to full overnight. Consequently I normally use this charger to charge up my wife's S5 and it seems to charge at a similar rate to her normal Samsung charger. I like useing this charger over the turbo charger simply because it should help the battery to last longer.
As far as dash mount I use the iOttie Easy Flex Wireless Qi Charger. That one maintains battery levels with the screen always on running Dash and Google Play (it also almost keeps up with running GPS ie. Waze/Google Maps) I posted an extensive reply in a later thread about that charger.

i bought the TYLT and love it. when i turn droid off and put it on TYLT and droid turns on itself. how do i keep droid off while charging? thanks.

bringing this back as I just bought this device. curious to see if there are any fast wireless chargers available yet? i do see QI wireless charging pads, but not sure if that is what I want. thanks!

I don't think any have hit the market yet. I have several of the tilt Qi chargers all over the house, so I love wireless charging.

Wireless 3.0 Charger recomendations?

WHat is a good wireless charger for the Edge phone? I prefer not to alway connect with the cable......

Choetech has a few fast wireless chargers listed on Amazon.
1: Single Coil - Pad-type
2: Single Coil - Circle-type with Smart Lighting
3: 3 Coils - Pad-type with Smart Lighting

I was researching this yesterday. What you have to remember about wireless pads is that typically a 2.0 pad will charge similar to a Non fast Charge 2 plugin-in charger. So like a standard charger. Once 3.0 ones are out I assume it will be a similar scenario. Hopefully some day down the line they will be just as fast as their plugin counterparts.
As far as those links above, 10w max isn't very strong considering a plugin 3.0 is about 18w and even a 2.0 is 15w. So 10 watt seems pretty dinky for a wireless still. Still I guess better than the old 5 watt ones.

Tronsmart is making a fast charging capable qi charger which should be nice. I used to have a TYLT VU (angled qi charger) for my Nexus 6 that as great. I would buy an angled one because it's easier to see your phone on and impossible to not have it charge.

After some more digging I found this: Nekteck Wireless Charging Pad (18w QC 2.0 Adaptive)
Looks very promising; 18w, slightly tilted instead of laying down flat, smart lighting.

It does look nice, but it is just the pad, correct, you still need to use your own samsung charger?

Correct. You can also buy a "QC 2.0 Adaptive Fast Charger" like this.

please use the Samsung original or certified third-party 18W QC 2.0 adapter as its power source.
Already got one on order so maybe will get this too. Keep in mind that still this will NOT charge as fast as a 3.0 18w direct plug. Not sure why that ends up being the case, but that is what I have read.
BUT::: Lower down on the order page it say:
"Fast Charge Model(10W Output Max) ONLY "
So does that mean if you have an 18w source it still only delivers 10w to the phone? Seems hardly worth it. I sent them an inquiry about this. (it's not listed on their website)

I received that charger 3 days ago.
I can not test it on the S7 just yet of course, however I have tested it on other phones and it does charge faster than a standard Qi wireless charger does.
I will post up some information about this charger, and the Cheotech 10w circle fast charger that I have also, as soon as the phones arrive.

A lot of energy is lot due to inefficiencies as heat while charging.

if you could do a compare with the plug-in 2.0 charger, that would be great.

Hi guys, I'm new to wireless charging, and I'm a bit confused as to which wireless fast charger I should buy for the S7...is there anything different about the wireless charging on the S7 than the S6, Note 5, etc.? Are there new chargers coming out soon that are somehow better than the ones currently on the market? I'm just wondering which charging pads would give me the fastest charge. If anyone could shed some light on this for me, that'd be helpful

Here is what i got for our Note 5's, my wife and I both have one. They have worked great so far. You need to use your Samsung fast charging adapter with it. For $19.99 I could not be happier.

These so called fast charge wireless models are all over the place with specs. I'd wait for the newer crop to be out and tested.

My Choetech fast wireless charging pad still works great so far. I will recommend Cho

My Choetech fast wireless charging pad still works great so far. I will recommend Choetech. Very stable and warm slightly. They have many kinds of wireless chargers, which has lots of good feedbacks on Amazon. :good:

Well now that there is a report that the s7 and s7e do not support quick charge 3.0 (sad) I'm not sure what's what.

I have this one: www.amazon.com/Wireless-Charging-Pad-CHOE-Qi-Enabled-Adaptive/dp/B016DAFUGY
Works REALLY well for me, charges a lot faster than the old Nokia DT-900 pads I have scattered around the house. Choetech is sending me their newest model to test, so I'll have a writeup for it here soon. Maybe a week or so?

That looks like a good one. I have a pad already, If I use one of the new power supplies will the charge fast, or need to upgrade the pad????

You'll need to use a Quickcharge 2.0 plug, to have it fast charge. It's not going to go any faster if you use a QC 3.0 unit though.

This is what I have now

Best charger for Mi A2 Lite?

Hello, I've saw a good brand that provides chargers. It's called 'Anker'. I'm not sure if it is worth it or it's expensive for its quality...?
Hmmm, have anyone here can recommend other chargers? I want a charger to be cheap as possible but also has a good quality. Thanks!

My experience is often the usb cable ca be culprit when phone charges slow.. bought a fancy Anker cable and now charges around 1.8 instead of 1.4 or so w my older cable

What does it mean? The lower the voltage, the faster it charge? Hmmm

A quality cable chargers faster (more mA)

I'm using 'hoco.' brand of charger that has Volt/Ampere indicator to monitor how well it will charge (not by software, but from charger itself), maximum output 2.1 Amperes, as I prefer that way. Anker is really cost prohibitive here in my perspective as a broke man ($20 onwards and probably does the same as other 2 amperes chargers for our devives).

Well, I've got myself an Anker too, during the discounted 12.12 sale, and indeed it is more of a quality oriented (and it's as huge as iPad adaptor)
Will also get an Anker cable soon.

Car Charger

Any car charger that works well with the v60? I saw some Anker but don't know what would maximize the charging speed for the phone. Thanks in advance

I use an Aukey QC3.0 charger in my vehicles, and it works plenty fine. It charges at about 2.5A, which keeps the heat down and is better long term for the battery. If you get one that charges 5A, you'll start to stress the battery and wear it out prematurely.

I'm honestly not sure. There may be, but I haven't bothered looking for them. Fyi, when I plug in to mine, it does register on the phone as fast charging. It's just not as fast as the 5A OEM stock charger (which I only used once to see what it can do, but otherwise stick to slower charge rates for battery health).

Wireless charger that supports the full 15W

What options are there? I made plenty of mistakes with chargers and car chargers because I don't know about the PPS technology samsung used. This is my first samsung since the S4 so I need some help.

I use the Samsung Charger stand that fast charge at 15W.
