Anyone know if the M8 has wireless charging capabilities like the Nexus 5?
I just tried to put my M8 on a wireless charger and it brought up the dot-cover screen. So, it doesn't work I don't think.
Isn't the dotted cover screen a screen saver like? Can you exit out of the dotted screen and look at the battery levels?
No wireless charging...

Just found a Qiu charging battery cover, however When ever I lay my phone down on my energizer Qi pad it just gives me an exclamation point in the battery, as if its not charging. I've tried with gingeritis and bamf 3.0 so far, both using impartin's 3.40 kernel with wireless charging supported. Has anyone else sucessfully wirelessly charged their Thunderbolt? Thanks

Is it my phone or does charging take forever seriously in thirty mins it only charges 3-5 %

I have an HTC charger which came with my desire and it charges my one x+ at an acceptable rate. I also use a generic charger from eBay which is supposed to have a 2A output but charges at less than half rate. The one x+ sees the eBay one as a usb connection so not sure if its limiting the rate.
I would like to record the charge rate in an app then short the charger center pins (normally the data pins) then record again and see if this makes a difference. I haven't found an app that does this yet though.

Are you charging it using the wall adapter? If you are charging it using just the USB cable in a computer or maybe a different adapter, then it is trickling in at a much slower rate.
Otherwise, I personally have not noticed any issues with the charging rate. Keep trying for a while longer. It might be that it will take a while to break the battery in (this is a complete shot in the dark).

With wall charger mine is taking 2.5 to 3hrs depending on how low it was when put on charge.

Agreed, the wall charger is much faster than USB to a computer/monitor.
An app that I use occasionally to monitor battery/phone charge/discharge rates that I've found top be very detailed and helpful:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw
Give it a look; it may give the type of info you're looking for.
Using the above app (previously) I noticed the same thing as the OP. Non-HTC wall chargers (even of they are rated at something like a 2 A output) charge the phone at only about 250-300 MA whereas an HTC charger (even an old one that came with an OG EVO 4G) will charge the phone at 800-1000 mA which results in a full charge from ~5%-100% in about 3 hours.
I haven't gotten around to looking into the specific differences between an HTC and generic chargers but would guess its a somewhat specific resistance applied across the data pins.
Hi
I used the htc charger that comes with my phone.
I have ARDH rom with stock kernel, and i have the "battery monitor widget pro" that has an option in its setting called "usb fast charge":
- When this option checked, i measured my charging rate from ~1% to 100% in 1h30 to 2h00 max (i noticed ~1100mA during charging).
- when this option unchecked, i have rate of 2h45 to 3h30 max (~850mA during charging max).
- with pc charging or any unofficial charger (with any mA/h types, even the 2A/h i.e the iPhone charger), i have charging rate of ~4h00-5h00 (max 300 to 400mA).
This is as i think the standard charging protocols of the stock kernel.
I learned this from back to my previous htc sensation that i have used the famous faux123 kernel that implemented these protocols after version 6 or 7 as i remembered.
Thanks

I've tried to google this but can't seem to find it anywhere.
My HTC One m7 can't keep the battery charged while it's running google maps navigation in the car with charger plugged in.
I find this really annoying..
How does the Z2 handle in this situation ?
Bonus question: Can you set the lock screen to only require code after having been off for x minutes ? The M7 had this feature perfectly implemented but vanilla android only has the option to have the entire lockscreen disabled for x minutes..

It is charging, just your phone uses more than you charge. As map requires active GPS and mobile data service. Solution to solve this problem is
get high power charger....... (ready carefully your XZ2's manual how many volt/ampere does phone supports .... it　can be damage your phone)
Bonus Question: I can't find that feature on my XZ2.... You can try other lock screen apps that supports the feature... Or some custom rom may
have that feature.
Well I have a 2amp charger in the car, and I find that the battery does decrease while using navigation.

Really? So you need at least an 3 amp charger in the car?
Only tested a couple of times, but yes battery definitely goes down. Not sure if I have another issue though as sometimes in the car (no maps) but screen on it usually charges 1% every 2 minutes, but sometimes it can take 6 minutes when less Han 90% charged. Also I usually use magnetic charging cable, but did try usb cable but did not notice any difference.

The type of cable you use can also affect charging speed
You'll need to be on a kernel that supports usb fast charge mode. Problem solved. :thumbup:

It's the point too... if you are using data cable(which many people using cuz came w/ phone.) Try charge only cable.

Seems really odd to me..
The phone only has 3200 mAh.. If it drained 2 amps while using navigation it should run out of juice after just over 1.5 hours without charger connected... That seems pretty fast..
As I can play games on the HTC One with MHL cable connected without the battery going down I can only wonder why the navigation is so power hungry..
Maybe it can handle it in power saver mode.

Get a good quality cable also and a good quality car charger, cheap things won't work as expected...
I'm always using genuine Sony cables and chargers when ever I need to buy any, even when I had my Note 2 and S4 I used Sony car charger ( rated at 1.2A ) and Sony cable also.. never had any problem with them...
I also have a portable 6000mAh battery, when I use the bundled cable I can only charge one full charge max, but when I used Sony cable I can have 2 full charges and even more ( charges both Galaxy S4 and Xperia S from less than 10% and still have power for at least another half a charge )...

Bad cell/GPS signal will cause the phone to use more battery on keeping the connection alive. try putting your phone more near windscreen rather than the center dashboard.
a reboot sometimes may help, too..
I just noticed the description on the S3 i9300 device page says it has wireless charging - does it secretly pack this feature?
Nope. It doesn't have this feature only if you add it yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyC37pHCVgE
I thought so! Maybe the description should be updated.

In some stores around the UK and us they sold back covers for the s3 with wireless charging

You need to purchase a Qi wireless charging receiver which needs to be placed at the back of the battery. It will be thin enough to fit between your battery and back cover.
Now if you placed the phone on a wireless charging pad the phone starts charging wirelessly.
I have used this on my phone.
As we all know, the LG V10 is an amazing device. One that does not have wireless charging out of the box. I have seen cars starting to integrate wireless charging into their cabins so I'm baffled why a lot of devices are not Qi charging capable as a standard. That's neither here nor there.
I had a G3 that I had gotten a wireless charging back for and I loved it. I also ordered one from Amazon for my V10 but it didn't clip on correctly so I sent it back. I then found the sticker on Wish (www.wish.com) for $4 including the $1 shipping. I thought this was a great deal. I removed the original NFC sticker and affixed the Qi/NFC sticker promptly on its arrival. The problem is that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it will be on the base overnight and will charge from 15% to 30%. Sometimes it refuses to connect. I even tried the Samsung Quick Qi charger at the Verizon store with no success. The other night I had placed it on the base and it connected and shortly after it started playing music from the the LG music app.
My question is are all the stickers basically the same or does the name and price suggest the quality? What about charging bases? I'm hesitant to say that it is the base. I am also very picky as to which style I'd like vs cost. I will include the Amazon listing of the one I use.

Dont do it, I've tried several sticker/Qi combos and it just drains the battery. Really fast.
I've already done it. LoL! It works sometimes. That's the problem. When it connects, it's great.

I've never found wireless charging to be stellar. In fact, more often than not the time required to recharge isn't worth it. I just stick with a rapid charger. :/ I would love to see some reliable rapid wireless charging some day.
I know people at a Verizon store and they gave me another stock battery cover. I am no longer using the wireless charging. It's convenient for night time. While I'm asleep. No big. I can live without it.
