Official Samsung Fast Qi Wireless Charger

I would really like to purchase the Samsung Qi fast wireless charger
but I have a few questions about it before I buy one.
#1: How much slower is the fast wireless Qi charger when compared to
the standard samsung fast usb charger which comes with the phone?
#2: Does the phone get hot or very warm when it's charging wirelessly?
#3: Does the phone charge slower when it has a one piece case on it?
Thanks in advance,
Have a great day!

#1, add around 30% time to charge
#2 Not that i have noticed
#3 Depends on the case

It´s just with me or it is difficult to put the phone on the right place to charge
I used a few times because of this, depend of the place where you put to charge, of course I am putting on the middle, the phone centred haha

I bought one from here and it was legit (not fake). Buy one and if you don't like it, send it back. I dock my phone every night I go to sleep. It has a very quite fan noise and the charging light notification is bright, but some electrical tape can take care of it.

What I was asking for were answers to my three questions from users who have
the Samsung Wireless QI Charger and have used it and have experience with it.. LOL
I already knew that I can send it back/return it if I don't like it, That's what I am trying to avoid!!!
Thanks for the reply...

I have both, the flat and the tilted charger from Samsung. I got an extra at Radio Shack going out of business, gutted it, and put it under the cubby hole in my car to charge while driving. The flat one I have next to my computer and use it rarely. The tilted charger, be warned. The lip of it where the phone sits is extremely narrow; 3 weeks after I got my Edge 7, it became an Olympic ski jumper, slid off the charger, off the desk, and right into the metal rail on my bed and cracked the housing at the charging port. I really only use the home chargers when I go to bed, and the one in my car while driving 40 miles to and from work. I like them because I've been getting Ringke cases that have port covers, and using the wireless, I don't risk marring the finish trying to connect a cable. It's funny how many people see it, either at work, or when I installed it in the car, and really like the idea. I never take my case off to charge, and never really notice it being any hotter than if I were using it for an extended time period.

I know, but you are thinking of buying one. I'm simply giving you a link, if you decide to buy one, to a REAL Samsung fast wireless charger for a good price. The market is flooded with fake ones at low prices. Usually, if the price is fairly low, then it's a fake Samsung product.

Every time i use it (with s6 edge+ or s7 edge) it charges, no problem at all, even with the cases (s6e+ has verus high pro shield and s7e has spigen case rugged armor)

I don't have Samsung QI Charger, I got my QI Wireless Charger from Anker, Very great quality for the half of price and do the same job
Since i am not using fast charging via cable and always charge the regular - slow - way so i got the regular one from Anker, Charge time is as same as the cable time.
No major heat or something just the regular warmth, and working fine with cases.
I like it, very easy to just place the phone and wake away , no cables or USB Port damage, Won't back to regular charge

I have two of them. Stand.
#1: 20-30%
#2: It gets warm even with the fan at the back of the charger running all the time.Not hot and not very warm.
#3: Not in my case and I have cases with different thickness.

Is there any way to get Qi wireless charging with this phone?

I am considering buying an Xperia X because of the Wet finger tracking. My current Samsung doesn't support that, and since I do a bit of lobster and crab fishing, and I use an app (Fishing Points) to note what I get and where I put the pots, I am rather annoied with the Samsung since any drop of water on it will mess up my usage. And trying to dry out a phone in a small boat is kind of annoying. But then I see that the X doesn't support Qi wireless charging, and I have that in my home office, my car, on my motorcycle and next to my bed. Going back to where I have to actually plug in a cable seems so incredibly stone age. So are there any solutions for Qi compatible wireless charging that works on this, and that doesn't compromise waterproofing?

Yes, add a USB receiver.

Thanks, I see that you have that phone! You mean with the flat cable going into the battery bay? I did look into that, but found that it will compromise the waterproof seal. Or is there a way to do it that doesn't?

It's a receiver that connects through the USB port of the phone, it do e's not affect any waterproof seal, although you probably need to dry the usb port before charging, this is the same with all phone if it just came out of water.

Thanks! But do you mean that I have to plug that in every time I need to charge the phone and then put it in the Qi charger, or that it's stuck to the outside of the phone? In the first case it's really just another way of plugging in a regular charger...

Go to ebay and search for qi receiver, there are many available, although depending which one you get will vary in quality.

Yeah, I've seen those. I'm afraid they will be ripped off in my pocket, I think. So maybe the best bet is two phones and a twin SIM, so I have one for regular use and one for fishing. Or wait until spring and see if Sony gets their act together and actually deliver an expensive phone with the most common wireless charging option.

Just use a case with the receiver, sony knows about qi, they have a offcial qi case for the Z5, but decided not to use qi, and opt for fast charging instead.

Good point, a thin case with the receiver inside would probably be a good solution! Thanks! And Sony didn't think that one through. It makes it less likely that Samsung people, who often have a bunch of QI stuff from their phones, will convert. Fast charging is OK, but I prefer to put the phone into the car holder or on the bedside table and start charging without having to plug anything.

This one could be the right type:

nillkin has the best receiver so far if you are in for a USB receiver, unlike the one's sold on ebay, they just use a thin sticker with the circuit in between, the nillkin uses thin plasic, and is very stable, I have the nillkin one for my XP and V20. USB is availabl;e in two version, A and B.
The offcial sony one is pretty thick, not worth buying, but that is for the Z5 only.

Thanks! I'll get that when I change phone, then. But the picture is of a case I can use on the phone, not a receiver.

In case anybody else wants to try this, it works. But not with the pictured case, that creates pressure on the back of the phone which gives color blotches on the screen. So I found my solution in a so called "Slim Rubber Gel Case Cover" and the Nillkin receiver. Problem solved, and it works quite nicely. I rarely need to to connect my phone with the USB, but it's quite easy to pop off the case and remove the receiver.

How Safe are Magnetic type C Cables?

I was wondering if using a magnetic cable and leaving the type C connector on your phone safe? Does it do any damage to the charging port leaving it in there so long?

While not usb-c, I use them for the kids on their phones and ipads (don't shoot me)
They work great for them as it ended the constant "It goes in straight not on an angle" argument.
The actual magnetic part at the end of the cable does get a little warm but nothing to bad.
Good luck

I have been using mag cables for 1 year in my note 7, and they are really convenient, I think that as a side bonus, they keep the port clean, free of dust and lint, also prevents wear off, So, only pros, no cons

I had one of those for my Note 4 and it's micro usb port. I loved it although it got hot. No more worries about accidentally yanking the charger out and damaging the port. Apple was on to something there I must admit.

Wireless Charging inside the OnePlus 6T mod

https://imgur.com/a/hhlTgw8
I'm super happy with the results
I bought a more expensive wireless USB type C charger that I thought would charge faster, since it was advertised as a 2000 mah (On amazon, it was gold), but once you open it up it seems to be the same cheap 1000 mah ones.
I did this because my phone is getting old, and I cracked the back glass, and I figured, while I'm inside... I might as well do it.
I had a blast, and I'm super happy with the results, it charges slow, but it works! and I can keep using my wired charger!

That's a pretty cool project! Care to elaborate on the steps and materials needed?
One pointer from my end: do not leave this charging overnight or when you're away from the device! Though customizations like this are fun and interesting, they are also a common source of house fires. Risks are probably low here as it involves slow charging but you really don't want to risk it.

I'm making the small guide and I'll post it later
The bad thing is I couldn't really take many pictures, since the phone is what I used to do that, so I'll be using some footage from ifixit teardown video.

So this all began when my phones back crystal panel broke on a fall.
I decided I had to replace it, so I ordered a new Transparent one, since like Jerryrigeverything I love to be able to see the electronics.
While I was at it I figured, why not add wireless charging to the phone? It should be possible, so I looked around for a guide, and I found this one:
https://www.instructables.com/Add-Wireless-Charging-to-Any-Phone-Using-the-LG-V2/
That was way sloppier than what I wanted, but it was a good read, and you can read about what he did.
You will need, a multimeter to check for continuity
A soldering iron, one that can regulate heat so you don’t damage anything, and with the smallest tip you can find
A donor charging receiver
Time and patience.
After that
With help from ifixit (link: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/OnePlus+6T+Teardown/115698 )
I opened up the phone, and since ifixit said there was no fingerprint connector you can just go at it, heat, and separate.
Once inside, disconnect the battery first.
The OnePlus 6T has a different design, there’s no pcb for the usb c on the speaker area, it has a connector that goes up to the main pcb, that snaps right next to the battery, since they had to make room for the optic fingerprint scanner.
So I removed the battery, so I could strip the layer of safety glue and make a little more room by peeling away a couple of layers, otherwise this wouldn’t close.
I started probing around with my multimeter for continuity, to do this, I connected the usb type c wireless charge pad (this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087TW7MGK/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_4?smid=AQB8EOE9WF3ZF&psc=1 ) after I stripped the protecting plastic cover (to make it even thinner, and to see the insides).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5118635&d=1603036807
So you connect it and probe the +Vbus and the Ground on that pad, at first I was a bit baffled, since it had pins on both sides, why if it isn’t carrying data, then I realized how stupid I was being, of course, it’s because it’s usb type c, you can plug it in both ways, and it needs to have the correct pins either way.
So I managed to probe around for continuity, and found out these are the correct spots.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5118637&d=1603036807
I had to remove some of the plastic on the NFC cover to allow the wires to pass, you can see on the final image the route the wires had to take.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5118639&d=1603036807
As you can see, I also jumped both grounds since it wouldn’t work if I didn’t.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5118633&d=1603036807
The first one is beefier, but it wouldn’t fit since everything on the PCB was bigger, the thing is, they charged at the same rate when tested with a usb type c power meter around 680-700 mah of charging power with a 10 watt wireless charger.
I ended up using this other one which was cheaper, and also smaller, not as sexy, but that’s the price to pay.
https://www.amazon.com/Version-Wire...48&sprefix=type+c+wireless+cha,aps,185&sr=8-3
so all that was left to do, was place a nice thin sticker on my battery (I miss the red battery days) to make it look a little bit better, and close it up with the transparent back cover (also from amazon).
As a side note, I placed a USB C to C power meter, and these little things do seem to have sensors for when the battery is full, so they don’t overcharge or overheat.
So I left it overnight with a 65 watt PD USB C to C charger, and a wall plug power meter, and once it’s soldered in, it also seems to drop down the charging, and it also stops giving out heat when it’s fully charged, so there might be something on the small PCB for charge detection, or maybe it’s the phones own full charge detection and it stops asking for power, since this would be the equivalent of being connected with a cable.
Still, everyone should operate at their own safety and I’m not responsible if you set your house on fire, but I will continue leaving it overnight.
It charges slowly, but I can also plug in my dash charger, and again, it doesn’t overheat, the PCB on the wireless coil receiver seems to be doing something, maybe.

dual case screen hack to allow normal usb c ?

Does anyone have a broken dual screen case so we can have a peak inside and work out how solder a female usb c port in the case?
im thinking best case, its easy as tacking on the 4 main wires (grd, positive, data0, data1) with female port glued where earphone jack is, or close by,
and worse case have a female usb c plug hand out of the case.

I would pay money to have this mod done. I absolutely can't stand proprietary connections and dongles. WTF was LG thinking ?? I mean seriously. WHY? BTW if you need a dongle (got a case but did not come with a dongle) they are $9 on lg.com (versus the insane $20 to $30 people are scalping them for on ebay and amazon) and S4299869 might get you free shipping (seemed to work for me but then did not work so its iffy)

Why not cut and take out the proprietary intermediate on the V60 case (which NEEDLESSLY stresses the USBc port on the V60 itself making the dual screen case a terrible idea). Cut it out then there's a port open enough to feed in and plug in the regular usbc charger tip to V60 usbc. bamm - done.
Only hurdle is you don't want to pull a cable by it's wire but by the connection mold/base. Tie a string to base and pull that?
because any mod that axes the (very useful and better) headphone jack isn't one I'd dig.

Except if you cut out the port the dual screen case will no longer work, it needs to connect to the phone somehow. The proprietary port is annoying I agree, but the alternative is to have the case chin be over double as thick, which would make using the dual screen case somewhat of a challenge. I don't personally own the dual screen case, I'm planning on getting one, but here's what I would do for charging:
1. For charging overnight take the phone out of the case - if you're just checking your phone in the middle of the night (not saying that's advisable) you probably won't miss the dual screen case all that much. The reason I recommend this is because if you're like me and tend to be unpredictable in your movements during the night, a magnetic connector could become disconnected, or even if you get up for some reason in the night and catch the cable.
2. For charging during the day, or any other time where you may be moving, or using it while charging, I'd do the same thing. I use my phone a lot but I always will have a period during the day to fully charge the phone. I'm guessing the dual screen case will lower the battery life by about 25%, landing us at 5 hours 15 minutes from 7 hours. Examine your lifestyle and search for a 2 hour period during the second half of the day where you're not on your phone. Charge during this time. If you can, use the magnetic connector to charge during this time since it will remove some of the stress of plugging and unplugging the dual screen case, therefore expanding the lifespan of your port. Even if it's just an hour, this is enough to get to around 70% battery, which depending on when you go to sleep should be enough to get you through the rest of the day. I plug my phone in when I'm not using it all the time, this is enough to not have battery anxiety.
I'd also like to say I agree with you regarding the headphone jack. Yes the dual screen case would still be useful on a phone without a headphone jack, but given this phone has it, it would be ridiculous to axe it. As everyone on this forum probably knows, the V60's large and comprehensive collection of features make it irreplaceable, and even removing one of those features would begin to show where newer phones could do better in my opinion.
