Cheap Qi Charger That Just Works - Nexus 6 Accessories

This is a great Qi charger, like all Qi chargers, if you're not going anywhere for a while. The LOWEST price that I've found and it works with the Spigen case on. Pictured is the charger on my nightstand next to my bed and alarm.
PowerBot® PB1020 $12.99
Link to Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F6SPYJS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have a couple of these, and highly recommend them. They're also VERY easy to mod to remove the annoying beep they make when charging starts/ends. I keep that on at work, but I removed it from my bedside one.

I have this same charger & it doesn't work with my Nexus 6. I have 2 of them. I couldn't get either of them to charge it. I used them with my Nexus 5.

I saw this thread and ordered one. Works great on my Nexus 6.
I had made a wood stand for my phone a while ago and just cut out another piece for this to sit in and now my phone will charge when I set it in my stand.
For the light, I was just lazy and put a piece of tape on it.

Anyone with the naked playstore case that can confirm this will work?

I use the Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear and it works with no issues.

Stuff I have bought......

This is the stuff I have bought for my G1.
I will post pics, to try and help anyone trying to make a decision on what to buy.
(alot of credit goes to ITSMEMORPHIUOS on youtube, He reviews iphone stuff. and through his reviews I got the confidence to buy half this stuff)
1) MOSHI case (ipouch=for iphone)= fits G1 perfect: excellent "everyday" case. Has special cloth sewn on inside that really cleans your G1. www.moshimonde.com (f**K IPHONE, had to get that out of my system). Washable, extra pocket for headphones. comes with really nice lanyard (to whip your kids with). SEVERAL LAYERS OF VERY THIN FABRIC NOT BULKY AT ALL.
2) niteize s-biner, size #1= to hang on moshi case
http://www.niteize.com/productdetail.php?category_id=29&product_id=152
3) SENA case= ULTRA slim case=, executive case REMOVED!!! NO NEED FOR COMMENTS LIKE THAT/THIS!!!!. www.senacases.com
4) SEIDIO retractable USB cable= it's ok, kind of short only 2'. really handy to carry though.
5) Cellet retractable wall charger.= travel charger, (*NOT TO SURE ABOUT THIS ONE, ONLY 500mA). BUT the car charger looks like a excellent product (but at the same time looks like a d*ck and balls????). (wish I had a car)
6) ZAGG invisible shield. OK ready, great protection, very UGLY look. DO NOT USE THE SCREEN PIECE.
---USE www.powersupportusa.com CRYSTAL FILM instead, can't even tell something is on the screen.
WHY: the Zagg gives orange peel affect (distorts image), Also you can see adhesive acts like little prisms and distorts image.
---Also I covered my wife's phone with Zagg completely and it totally takes away from the phone (women!!!).
--------SO on my phone I just used two small stripps on where the phone makes contact with a surface. much better look.
TIP: buy 70% isopropyl Rubbing alcohol from local pharmacy( will cost $1-$2 for huge bottle), same stuff that is in expensive computer screen wipes. But find good lint free cloth.
spray phone:
1) to clean
2) can apply crystal film when wet with alcohol
This is not a purchase but a great tip:
7) Piece of leather cut 4" x 6" ( and old leather jacket will do) great place to rest your phone while charging.
8) Turbo Charger= on the go, emergeny charger(uses AA)
9) AMZER 82000= cradle. ( got extra battery from t-mobile for free) still waiting for it to arrive in mail.
http://www.amzer.com/accessories-de...el=T-Mobile G1&mcid=1&category=&make=T-Mobile
10) sandisk 16 GB microsdhc = must have= works.
If you have any questions about these items, let me know, hopefully it will help you make your decision.
Oh and this is my first post with pics sorry if i F it up.
PICS are here

the pics were to big. see enlarged pic for details and don't forget to click on second page.

A bit G1 obsessive if you ask me, but I can see y, I love my phone too. But I dont think all the cases/pouches r necessary.
I didnt like the bulk of the pouch it came with. so I got the sena case, but
the sena case is very slim line and doesn't cover the phone 100% and you have to break it in to use it.
So then I ended up with the moshi pouch (black pouch), which is good to just throw around, phone slides in and out of it with ease. (the gay pink or peptol bismol one is my wife's).
I'm getting the same cradle. Do you know if the phone fits in it without removing the USb cover?
you don't have to take off the little cover there is little space for the little cover to sit within
Great, thats what I was worried about.
For the cradle can you charge the G1 and the spare battery at the same time? I was just wondering because I bought a crappy dock a while back and I could only charge the battery with the dock and had to connect a usb cable to charge the phone. Also is it hard to put the G1 in the dock or is it pretty easy. Thanks for the info man
AMZER 82000= cradle
http://www.amzer.com/accessories-de...el=T-Mobile G1&mcid=1&category=&make=T-Mobile
I got mine off of ebay, from Hong Kong, so I did not have the pleasure of unboxing ( came in Manila Envelope). But saved a couple of bucks.
NO IT IS NOT EASY TO PUT PHONE IN AND OUT. if you plan on using phone alot it is not easy. but if phone just sits in one place and you have bluetooth headset then it's OK. There is nothing wrong with cradle, The problem comes in with the little door has to be opened, then lowering the phone onto little usb connector. It's great for people who have there own desk at the office.
Comes with:
1) cadle: nice build quality (for made in china cradle),has charger port, usb port and 3.5mm stereo out. fingerprint and dust magnet. but I'm happy with product.
Blue and red led indicator on front of cradle, very bright. Might have to cover at night.
BLUE: glows when charger is plugged in. even if there is no phone or battery in charger.
RED: glows when battery is charging.
2) wall charger: 1.5 AMPS, nice can charge battery and phone at same time.
3) usb cable.
more pics of cradle.............
Where did you get that cradle?? OMG, I was just tell ing my friend I needed a cradle that had a charge port AND an audio out port. That's so freaky.
Doesn't look nearly as nice as yours, but all I really want is to be able to put in in the cradle on my dresser and plug my speakers into it. WOuld this work?

got cradle off of ebay. came from hong kong.
omg, love the cradle! I wish we had bluetooth stereo headphones capabiliy (A2D2). this would be perfect for that. I could just use it to charge my spare battery while streaming music or just get the giant 2400 mAh battery. What do you guys think?
How well does the Crystal Film screen shield fit on the g1, since it's made for the iPhone? My stock screen is getting really scratched up and I desperately need a new one, and you seem to have done your research
Also, I have been thinking about buying the cradle as well, and I have an extended battery that I use as my backup, and since the g1 won't fit on the charger with the extended battery on, I'd like to be able to place it on the extra charger, I just wanted to make sure it'd fit
I too am loving my cradle. Also wishing for Bluetooth Stereo. We'll see what this month brings I guess.
CRYSTAL FILM: was from powersupportusa.com But I don't see it on their website anymore.
It has an exact fit and is very smooth, people can't even tell i have a film on.
CRADLE: yes the extended battery fits in the back part of the cradle. the only thing is you cant close the back cover of the cradle.
You can put the phone and the extended battery (in the back part of the cradle with the cover door open) in at the same time.
Thats one spoiled-lucky G1 hahaha.
can someone post a working link to one of those cradles for me.. thanx a lot

Excellent!! GNOTE Desktop USB Cradle Dual Charger (Killer $15 Bux! )

First let me make it clear...
This is strictly a recomendation for fellow Note owners.
I do not have anything to do with sales or anything near..
Wanted to share good stuff for as I really truly find these to be awesome.!
I just received (2) of these from AMAZON. Only $15 bux a pop. Ya Cant Beat It!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006L9K16W/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Dual USB / AC Plug Desktoop Charger.
Charges via AC while SYNCS USB (leave single or both jacks plugged in)
Bothwork together. Comes w/AC Adapter. Cradle has built in USB cable (so cant lose it!)
Very tiny footprint. Fairly Sturdy. Phone does not tip over.
I actually place one in the ashtray dashboard of my car (wired USB)
Easy feel ... for locking phone on and off of cradle (thats important!!! )
They are the most ALTERNATIVE affordable pricing compared to the OEM desktop chargers which in my opinion are not that good and are about $50 bux or so.
Support Car / Home docking software when phone docked.
Only Con is...BRIGHHHHHTTT blue LED light. Extremely bright.
Had to place a piece of black tape over LED
Thought I would share the 411.
Its hard to find a good alternative these days.....
Thanks for sharing this, just ordered two alongside the OEM Sammy car mount.
Thanks for sharing! Just ordered mine.
How quick does it charge?
Thanks for the tip. Just ordered one that I want to use to make a custom dock that I can fit in my cup holder in my car, as this phone is too big for my cup holders and that's where I like to keep my phone when driving. Was looking for a good/cheap dock, so thanks again for reporting back on the quality of this one. Definitely a nice price. Free shipping with amazon prime too.
how snug fit it is on the back? is there any room for the case? Will it fit if I have a thin case on?
I see that they also have the one with spare battery charger for $2 more. Interesting.
Hmmm you could probably MHL output while also USB host moding a keyboard/ mouse with this. Gonna buy one to give it a shot
Does it fit when i have a TPU case?
Actually the Samsung OEM dock is great. It's $40 at the ATT store. But I paid $20 with my premiere account.
I bought another on ebay as a back up, but haven't received it yet from here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/220923137856?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_3363wt_1270
This does not actually come with the charger does it? \ Igt says can be used with charger that came with note.
Im confused. \/
so sorry for the delayed response! yes this desktop charger comes with one ac adapter in addition to a usb cable that is a cable built into the charger itself.
it allows you to keep the phone plugged into to both pc & ac wall at the same time with out the need to switch cables
it has a overload protection so no fear of charging burnouts.
it is definetely a snug tight fit onto the cradle itself. never worries about falling over or lose connections. i can say it works super super tight . real happy w/purchase.

Add Qi Wireless Charging + NFC ~$14

So like many others I'm sure I thought the Verizon LG G3 included wireless charging. So I bought my Qi charger and put my phone on it only to find out it wouldn't work. I dug a bit deeper into the subject and found someone who had debunked the idea of Verizon leaving the wireless charging feature in the phone.
If you didn't know it, the Verizon LG G3 does not include Qi (or any) wireless charging. I found a replacement for the sticker in the back cover. I've seen others who bought the back cover and sticker for just a bit more aftermarket. But if you want to keep your shinny nice LG back cover this is for you. I bought two and are working great. (have not tested NFC functionality but the pin outs are there and have no reason to think that it doesn't work.
Here is the link. Shipping was decent and quite fast (faster than there projected time frame) I was happy with the purchase and can now Qi the LG G3!
ah, so it seems I'm new here and can't post with the link below. Either go to dealsishop dot com and search for it or piece the url back together.
wwwdealsishopcom/lg-g3-door-nfc-wireless-charging-sticker.html
The NFC works fine.
Just got mine in yesterday. Took about 3 days to get after ordering. Put it on this morning and both qi and NFC work great. It even charged with my case on, which is awesome.

Fast shipping and they work great.
I noticed that the phone gets little warm where you sit it on the Qi Charger but probably normal???
I ordered the back from the same site, the Verizon Black Back cover.
Got it today and nothing, but the back contacts look nothing like the site shows I have attached a photo. Looks like the contacts are not lining up correctly or are not raised enough to meet the back of the phone.
Have emailed the company, hopefully they will make it right.
I just got a sticker off eBay for $10 we will see what happens
I ended up ordering one of these back covers:
LG G3 Verizon VS985 Black Battery Door Back Cover with NFC QI Wireless Charging
Received it today and it works great!
Sent from my LG G3 using Tapatalk
Thanks for this.. I have been looking, reading reviews on Amazon and Ebay. There's two things that bother me about this. This is a flagship, premium phone, one of the best in my opinion. Yesterday, I went to Verizon to see if I could buy one there. 27.99 for the battery door, then 27.99 for the Qi Charger. thats over 50 bucks for something I ordered here for 27.99.. First off, why wasn't this on the phone originally? Secondly, why is Verizon trying to break the bank on something that should have already been standard on the phone? Sadly, I know the answer to the 2nd question. End rant here
Really though, I'm on XDA atleast 5 times a day and really never look at Accessories. Thanks for the great advice!
Finally got mine
Ordered my QI charging kit 2 weeks ago from china, finally got it, paid about $8 for the sticker and charger on ebay, put it on tonight, works great, heres what I got if anyone is interested, like I said, your gonna wait about 2 weeks for it though.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/271668861732?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Hi, I bought the same one, and it works perfectly!
Thanks for the recommendation.
I bought the same one on eBay as well. Wireless charging works great but NFC doesn't work at all. I've contacted the seller to see if I can get a replacement sticker.
Mine doesn't work at all. NFC or wireless charging

I bought 2 of these. Installed the sticker without issue. The charging pad lights up, the phone says it is being wirelessly charged, but it is not. The percentage is actually going down while it says it is charging. Going to try a different charger tonight, but it does the same thing plugged into a computer.
As another poster said the NFC works fine the qi however does not work stock.
Also, I have had a really bad experience with those stickers. I probably bought about 5 and none of them worked. Returned them and received replacements and they still didn't work so, I went ahead and bought a battery door with the nfc and qi functionality built in and that has worked for me. Although the NFC is seemingly not as responsive as it was with the stock back.
If you want to drop some money the slimguard case is pretty cool and includes both, 320 is the US version. Mine took a month to get here. I was lucky with sticker on original back plate but it was a bulky sticker and seemed like back plate barely went back on. Adding a case didn't give the best qi charge rate so I just got slimguard
Zerolemon and NFC/QI stickers
Has anyone had any luck with modding/retro-fitting the zerolemon rugged case/extended battery (http://www.amazon.com/Warranty-Zero..._1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1426945301&sr=1-6) with one of the Qi stickers? I'm not looking for the wireless charging as much as I am the NFC functionality as the case doesn't have pin-outs for it.
Yes, I have NFC and qi charging working fine with the Zerolemon case & 9000mah battery. I just carefully lined up the connections & affixed the connections part of the sticker to the phone with tape. Then put a small piece of foam on top of the connections to put pressure on the connections when the back cover parts are installed. I put in the battery & laid the coil part of the sticker over the battery. I then snapped the plastic back with the battery cutout carefully over both the battery & the sticker being aware not to break the wires between the connections & the coil when pinching them between the plastic & the top of the battery. A bit of a hack, but as long as you don't remove your battery that often it should hold up just fine.

Excellent, thank you! I've ordered the stickers and will attempt it soon!
How long does it take for a full charge wirelessly?
Well, I actually don't know exactly because I rarely drain the 9000mah battery all the way down, lol. Under normal use for me, I get down to 50-60% remaining be EOD and 6-7 hours on my Powerbot qi charger has it at full charge when I wake up. What I'd say is that I feel this charges nearly, if not just, as fast as it does plugged into a wall outlet. But, it does depend on the output of the charger/power adapter you are using so YMMV. Good luck putting it all together. This is my first qi charging setup and I am definitely loving not having to plug in as the Zerolemon case with it's added bulk and cover over the charging port made plugging in a tedious task.

Car mount with wireless charging.

Looking for a good car mount with wireless charging that will work with the nexus 6 any recommendations?
I'd recommend not using one. Wireless charging will be way to slow on the n6.

Click to collapse
used the square stock wireless charger with my n5, stuck a clip to the back of it and just relied on the magnets to hold it. Didn't wiggle at all, never fell off, was perfect, wish I could rig the same thing with the N6, but I don't think the magnets will be near strong enough.
A qi charge is going to charge at 1a at most, for he N5 that was more than enough to cover full brightness, gps, and streaming over bluetooth, and still providing enough to charge the battery. I IMAGINE if you could somehow hook it up like that, it would provide enough of a charge to the N6 as well, at worst I think you'd not lose charge. JMHO though.
So if you not recommending the wireless charge on it then do the sell a fast charge adapter for the car? Really the main thing is a good car dock. I figured the wireless charge would just be a plus.
I've been using the Airdock with my Nexus 5 for a while now and I absolute LOVE it. It uses magnets to hold the N5 in place, and I'm hoping the N6 also has these magnets. It also has a special surface that is supposed to hold certain phones without magnets, depending on the material of the back of the phone.
Also as far as the speed of charging, it works well enough to slowly charge my N5 with the screen always on in my car and with GPS running (at a minimum, it keeps it from losing charge). This is all I need in my car. On those certain occasions where you really want a faster charge, I just plug it in.
Let us know if it works with N6. Can you have a slim case on the phone an the magnet still works?
Got my N6 today. Unfortunately it doesn't work with the AirDock, as it doesn't stay on it. Looks like the N6 doesn't have any magnets. Very disappointing.

I've read the magnets are near the bottom of the phone. Can you double check?

I just ran a magnet all over the back of the N6. There is indeed some type of magnetic pull in the bottom corner, however, it is EXTREMELY weak. I'm guessing it's there to maybe help nudge the phone into the correct position when laying flat on a (future official?) qi charger, but it is absolutely not enough to hold it onto the AirDock. By way of comparison, the magnetic pull with the magnet is much stronger, and over a much greater area, on the N5.
Also, the N6 is a lot heavier than the N5. Add the curved back into the equation, and these 3 factors pretty much guarantee the phone won't work with the AirDock. Believe me, I tried to get it to stick on the AirDock today, and there's no way it's happening.
iOttie Qi charger works. You've got to find the sweet spot to have it grasp the side, without hitting the volume buttons, and still getting the charging coils aligned. Not super difficult - just takes a second to align. I expect this to be irrelevant once I get a case which keeps the buttons recessed.
-bZj
Anyone who's using a QI car dock have any input on charging / maintaining charge with screen always on, brightness up, streaming music, maps, etc.
I'm just curious if the iOttie or any other wireless chargers can avoid LOSING charge with the N6 when under "heavy" use.
One problem I find is you can't keep the screen on when wirelessly charging once the battery is at 100%. The phone stops charging so the screen goes off. Very annoying hopefully someone can find a fix.

The "Stay Awake" option in the Developer Options should be what you're looking for.
No that doesn't work when the phone is fully charged because the N6 doesn't have trickle mode it actually shuts off charging. Thus the screen shuts off.
My Homebrew Wireless Car Charging Solution
I made my own wireless car charger by grafting a PowerBot charging puck onto a Ram Large X-Grip. I simply used double-faced tape to attach the PowerBot to the X-Grip. I started this with my Nexus 5 in a Spigen Neo-Hybrid case and it works just as well with my N6 inside a Diztronic Slim TPU case.
Here's the charger:
http://www.amazon.com/PowerBot®-PB1...687&sr=8-1&keywords=powerbot+wireless+charger
And here's the X-Grip:
http://www.amazon.com/Ram-Mount-Uni...TF8&qid=1416714725&sr=8-4&keywords=ram+x-grip
You'll need a way to attach the X-Grip to your vehicle. Ram-Mount's website has countless ways to do this.
Here's Ram's website:
http://www.rammount.com/
I used a Mirror-Mate(TM):
http://www.rammount.com/NewProducts/MirrorMount/tabid/2538/Default.aspx
And paired it with a Long Arm (don't use the shorter ones; the phone will hit the rear-view mirror in portrait orientation):
http://www.rammount.com/CatalogResu...65077045066045050048049085045067/Default.aspx
I can leave the PowerBot plugged into my cigarette lighter all the time (standard mini-USB cable and 12V-USB adapter) and it's easy to mount or remove the phone, just squeeze the arms of the X-Grip together and out it comes (this takes two hands or the phone will fall). This works great for calls, navigation, or as a dash-cam. Ram makes suction cups for those who want to mount directly to the windshield but I highly recommend the Mirror-Mate(TM).
Not cheap, total cost about $70 plus shipping.
EDIT: I just saw this in another thread and I'm going to replace my PowerBot with this Anker:
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Ultra-S...Qi-Enabled/dp/B00HIZ3ZI4/ref=cm_cd_ql_qh_dp_t
Right now the 4 rubber grippers are flush with the front of the phone, which makes it a bit finicky to mount securely. The Anker charging pad is about 1/8" thinner than the PowerBot, which will accommodate the thickness of the phone perfectly with about 1/8" of overlap between the 4 grippers and the bezel of the N6. Putting the N6 in the X-Grip without the charger in-between leaves the 4 grippers protruding above the bezel about 3/8" which means they can get in the way if I'm trying to use the touchscreen near them.

Did you use super glue or something to attach the Qi charger to the Xgrip?
Also, how long is the USB cable provided by Anker?
picked this up on sale for my nexus 6 w/ spigen ultra hybrid

nexus 6 is a bit wide for it, but the handles flex enough to let it go in; wireless charging, went up 1% from ride home from frys with gps navigation on w/ screen halfway

I used double-faced mounting tape between the X-Grip and charger. The cable is 1m long.
What did you use to bond the qi charger to the ram mount?

[Q] Recommended wireless chargers

Hi guys! I've been eyeing a wireless charger for a while now. I have the D855 which includes Qi wireless charging capabilities
.
Last time I purchases a generic charger for the Note 2 it got really hot for my liking.
I've had an eye for this one... Aukey N12:

Unfortunately I can only find this one on eBay Australia:

But it's $80+ down to $6.99 which is concerning.
So are there better alternatives (I assume there are heaps)?
Thanks!! [emoji4]
Will wireless chargers charge through some/all cases or covers?
It would be a pain to have to keep removing a cover (for example gel or plastic one) to be able to charge, espeically for those that are a really tight fit.
The Nokia wireless charges work flawlessly
The Nokia one is great but hard to find cheap.
Try the WCD-100 which is from LG and you can get it from Ebay for under $40-50. It works perfectly with the LG G3 (with a case). You just need to make sure you have a 1.5Amp USB charger as the WCD-100 doesn't come with a wall plug, just the USB cable.
I have several wireless chargers, the ones I like best are the Itian desktop charger and the Ikea Desk lamp charger. I have the Itian at work and the Ikea on my nightstand next to my bed. I need to put some clear rubber "feet" on the Ikea charger for easier alignment, and maybe find a way to add the charger for my G Watch R, but both work well. I should also add a disclaimer that I have only used the Ikea charger with the LG quick circle case, bit the Itian worked with the thinner cases, not so much with the leather book case (plastic and leather between the phone and charger)
@Aid777
It really depends on how thick it is. I reckon <4-5mm will be able to. I hope to get one soon and I'll let you know when I do.
