Not sure if this is normal but last night. Pop my phone on the pad and went to bed. In the morning phone was hot and only charged the phone from 12% to 73% and that's all night charging.. Anybody come across this issue? And sometimes the pad detects my phone randomly but detects the note 3 perfectly every time I lay it on the pad.
Any long term effect?
First time owning a wireless charger.

Tylt quite frequently has coupons for severe discounts on their website. I got my Tylt Vu for $35. I saw on amazon earlier today that it was priced at $60.
You can also get a knockoff of the Tylt Vu called the Itian A6 on Amazon and other retailers for $30-$34. Some ship from China and will take a while. I ordered a US one on Amazon w/Prime, but not sure if they still have any. Mine seems to charge pretty quickly.
My local T-Mobile stores have the Tylt Vu on sale for $34.95 right now.

This is the best mat you can find right now.
The Powermat by Duracell works well and charges just as fast as the USB charger or the tablet dock . I picked one up on amazon brand new for about $18 ( plenty still around
I picked up the 4s and portable charger bundle for a steal. This is using the standard backplate that came with the phone. Many cell phone reps will tell you the phone doesn't come standard with wireless charging and try to sell you the folio as a "wireless charging bundle" for $70,don't be fooled!.
Alignment is good, natively the Duracell branded cases and portable charger have a magnetic pull to the phone to keep it in place. When placing the PadFone on the plate there is no magnetic pull. Make sure you lay evenly. The wireless charger will make a beep to let you know it has a handshake with the device.
Works flawless so far, no complaints.
Update #1 Turns out the Padfone X is only PMA compliant, This wireless charger is apparently one of the only ones available. There are different styles of powermat available. But no Qi compliance.
Update #2 This kit also came with the iPhone 4/4s adapter and a PowerBar, the power back can be attached to either a Padfone Tablet station or the Asus Bluetooth Padfone keyboard to provide "passthrough" charge.

Thanks for posting this review! I just ordered the exact same thing from Amazon yesterday and I wasn't sure if it was going to work. I was completely skeptical since just the Powermat is normally $50 through at&t.
Grab one at that price while you still can, less than $20 got me this whole set

Thanks for the heads up. Just picked up my new padfone X tonight after my beloved skyrocket fell and broke the screen. The rep thought the same thing about the wireless charging that I needed a wireless case. I asked to test out the 50 dollar duracell charging pad and sure enough "beep" and I was charging with just the phone out of the box. Nice find. This is a win win cause I also have an iphone 4s for my afterhours phone support for my job. Utter win here.
Thanks again.

Powermat charges fast but alignment is finicky
I also bought the iphone 4 powermat bundle from Amazon. I do like the audible and visual confirmation you get when it starts charging the device. Also it beeps when the device is fully charged. But overall you need to place the phone just right on the pad otherwise it beeps on and off and you end up taking extra time just to make sure it's charging. I owned a Nexus 5 before my Padfone and QI charging is a lot better you just drop the phone on the pad and it charges no problem never had to adjust the phone for it to charge.
But I waited forever for the Padfone to hit the US, so I can live with the charging issue.
After a while you figure out the sweet spot for charging hence the phone doesn't magnetically lock to the powermat, but when you connect, you'll have a full charge in no time
I also purchased the Duracell Powermat and it charges the phone fine, however one problem I have is that it seems to Overcharge the phone. I know this because of two things
1. "Battery Doctor" App reports that the phone had been overcharged
2. Phone is very warm/borderline hot to touch when I pull it off the charger in the morning
Has anyone else experienced this problem? I am concerned because overheating shortens the battery life of these phones so I want to prevent that. this does not happen when I charge via USB.
Battery doctor app is not a good representation for phones that support qi or pma charging. The phone will get warm, but not alarmingly warm. The science of contactless charging.
These are still available for under $20 with free shipping, looks like. A great buy for sure.
I received mine before I ever even got my PadFone X. With the issues arising theoretically being theoretically linked to charging the phone and station together for long periods, this frees up the included charger to charge the station by itself.
Can't thank the OP enough for passing on this find!
Just my two cents, but....

I have an old Samsung Qi wireless charging pad, and my Padfone S works with it. I will admit, the powermat charger is much faster - but Padfone S does support Qi chargering pads. Not sure about Padfone X.

I'm not noticing this issue with my Padfone S. In fact, my old Samsung phone (Qi standard) did get warm, but Padfone S doesn't.
For that matter, my Padfone S doesn't heat up when I have it tethering a wifi data connection to my laptop or other portable devices. I've only felt my Padfone S heat up on 2 occasions - both of which I was in a dead zone and the phone was powering up the antenna to try to get a signal.
I ordered the official LG G3 battery charger on Amazon and 40 days later they still have not shipped. I got refund from Amazon.
My question is this, there are several others on Amazon, Caseology, TrendOn, which one is good?
I bought two of these from Amazon:
Blackberry Folding Blade Charger for Playbook (Black)
Works pretty good and charges at 1.8 amps!
Thanks but I'm talking about the charger that charges the battery by itself

I used one at BestBuy and didn't like it. The charger is slower than my TYLT or LG WCD-100, plus its rather large for a disc charger. I would consider one at $20 but certainly not $60

Woah woah woah.. I have a TYLT and it is garbage. I would say the TYLT charges at 1amp or less , while the pad charges slower than my turbo charger but faster than a 1amp. But, agreed. def Over priced.

Mine works well, I use or never night. I checked the charging rate via a battery monitoring app and the TYLT will charge at around 893-970mAh while the Samsung was around 650mah. It is definitely over priced however I got line on sale for $35 so I don't mind
I as well work at Tmobile ?
I Use the tylt vu to charge my phone overnight.. I like how it charges my phone slower than the quick charge since it is on there all night long.
The Samsung charger is nice and its $50 from Tmobile store and its nice to have the ability to include it in your monthly payments of your phone so u don't have to fork out the money up front.
I'm going to be getting one of the Samsung disc chargers and a spare center console lid for my car and I'm going to fit it into the lid so it is recessed and all I have to do to charge my phone is sit it on the center console

How much would I have to pay to get one? Might go today and check it out after work. Tho $50 is a bit to much for a wireless charger.

I highly doubt the $50 over price QI charger goes higher than 1amp. Highly doubt it

I get over 700ma with a $12 charger :good:
You guys understand that QI chargers are very simple devices? Unless it does something special, paying more than 20-30 for one is crazy.

I haven't seen any qi charger go past 1A for phones yet. The TYLT is nice to use for overnight charging, however if I'm in a rush or decide to flash a bunch of stuff and need a charge I use one of my quick chargers. I love wireless charging, but I'm still not convinced on the high cost of the Samsung charger after using one. My TYLT was %50 off so that's worth it to me because it's also a stand in a sense. Unless Samsung has something hidden up their sleeve then I'll sit this round out. I like Samsung products (my Ativ book 9 plus is excellent) but I wish they had a stand but a disc qi charger.
I work at Best Buy and have tried it out. Doesn't charge through my wallet case so makes it useless for me. The nexus orb works much better and charges it faster than others I have tried.
Should I use the one by Samsung so as not to degrade the battery?
or it doesn't matter at all?
What brands would you recommend?
It doesn't matter. I use 2 official wireless chargers and one 3rd party pleeson brand.
Not one difference.

I don't know, after the latest system update on verizon my 3rd party wireless charger stopped working. Only charges about 20% then stops.
Shouldn't be. But I'm waiting for the new convertible one to be on sale.
No problem with my choetech stand fast wireless charger.
The S8 supports most wireless chargers, but it's best to make sure the charger you pick was made for at least the S7 if you want to get the wireless fast charge function.
The transmitter for the wireless charger also needs to line up with the right spot on your phone or it might not make a proper connection. I had this issue with my S6 where the spot on the phone was lower than the charger, so I had to put something below the phone to line it up with the charger.
Just saw this fast wireless charger deals on Slickdeals! Hope useful for you: https://slickdeals.net/f/10178316-choetech-qi-wireless-charging-stand-for-galaxy-note-5-s8-s7-s6-edge-and-more-16-ac-fsss?src=SiteSearchV2_SearchBarV2Algo1
I snagged the official 2017 wireless charger for a steal at best buy. I showed them an online add from cdw and they took it!!! Only cause it was the last one in stock and they wanted to slang it quick. Lady at the register was surprised I got the deal.
Bought a Tronsmart Chocolate Bar charger. Works just fine, though I plan to move the charger circuit (replacing the microUSB port with a soldered USB cable or even a QC3.0 power brick) into a 3D printed phone stand.
I have a normal diy wireless charging coil. It heard up more than it charges.
I bought a Black Web wireless charger from Walmart originally as a temporary charger until we got in the Samsung one. Honestly not going to bother. It works well enough, no heat and holds the phone at 100% once charged.
I looked around on Amazon and it seems to be identical to several they sell, just different branding.
I'm content at the moment, was only $20.
My Nexus 6 charger worked only at normal speeds. I like the magnet in it so ordered magnets to attempt to modify the Blackweb charger. They aren't necessarily needed, just something I want to attempt.
I have seen a few threads on XDA with the Oneplus 3/3T with the Ebay Baozu chargers. I decided to take the plunge and order from Ebay a set with Dual charging port (hopefully the other port is a quick charge for my other non Dash device) and red cables for about $24. The expedited shipping was too expensive and decided to take the slower route, but my Oneplus 5 battery has been great. I would have bought it from other websites, but they don't have Paypal, and I don't like using my CC, just to get quicker shipping at a more reasonable rate.
For those who have used these chargers successfully, please chime in.
On another note, I wish my 2016 model vehicle came with Android Auto, but no, the 2017 did as standard, fockers! I rather use the big screen of the vehicle and not deal with any phone holder.
Quick or dash charge is only possible with the one plus dash charger

What about vooc?
I was tempted to buy the official 1+ car charger but decided to skip it since I already had an iOrange-E car charger that I bought a year ago for my Nexus 6p. Now, obviously this is not a dash charger but what I have noticed, as you can see from the attached picture, it has a pretty good charging capacity. Keep in mind that dash charging only works at up to 65% battery capacity before it throttles down, and it also goes down again at 75% and then again at 85% so most of the time the dash charger will be charging at regular charging speeds. So unless you always have the phone at really low battery percentages when connecting it to the car charger, to me there's really no reason to spend a lot of money on one.
I was looking to get an OEM dash charger but after seeing the price I couldn't see myself paying $30 another $7 for shipping. Unless if you really NEED to charge your phone that fast, I don't see the point to spending that much money on a car charger when a good 2.4a one will do the job for about $10 on amazon. I am able to keep my phone charged, use GPS, Pandora and bluetooth with my non dash car charger.

Any updates on Baozu? Was it able to reach a rate close to dash charging?
