Me device arrived yesterday, here a couple of first impressions:
+ Nice packaging/box.
+ Easy assembly, strong suction cup. Attached it to the dash of my jeep using no adhesive.
+ Using the Nexus 6 I drove for 20 minutes with Google Maps navigation, Bluetooth streaming music All-Access. Screen brightness set to auto. Battery went from 75% to 76%. Its not discharging like the HTC M7 Car kit.
- Initial impressions of quality is that the plastic material seems cheap. Considering the device is $80+tax.
- Its big and bulky, I am comparing it to official HTC Car kits for M7-M8.
- Proprietary power connector like the one on VÜ Wireless Charger. Have to be careful rotating the mount so the connector doesnt get damaged.
Adjust height so that it wont interfere with volume rockers.
When did you order yours? I ordered on the 3rd I believe and haven't even received shipping information
Where did you get this? The one on the website says it is only for use with phones up to 5.7 inches. Does this still work for the Nexus 6 or did you get it somewhere else?
Well, never mind, I now see in the description that it says it is compatible with the Nexus 6. Strange that they would then mention up to 5.7 inch phones.

I ordered mine on 2/3 in the evening. Arrived on 2/6. Ran another test with brightness blasted, GPS and BT. Doing that battery slowly drained.

Really wanted one of these, but a proprietary charger ? I have a cable I threaded through my dash to my last dock. I would have to do that again and find a new bluetooth receiver as it is in my switched plug.
Guess back to the drawing board.
This is end piece going into the device. Its molded to regular cigarette plug on the other end.

Last time I checked with iottie they said that the easy flex wireless wasn't officially supported with the Nexus 6. I have seen info on XDA about mods but I wanted a supported model. Iottie have a new model is in works, but this one is available now.
You run the Nexus 6 on max brightness, stream music using BT over LTE whilst navigating and it still charges? What is the amperage spec on the easy flex? I could look it up but lazy right now

It's 2.1 amp. I don't use my phone on full brightness ever, I usually have it at 50-75% brightness. It's officially made for the nexus 5 but works great with the 6.

For half the price you're better off witht the ottie. I ordered it through amazon for about $45.
The iOttie Easy Flex Wireless should accommodate 3.4 inch devices, and the Nexus 6 is only 3.27 inches. So it should fit.
I think the issues is in regards to the wireless charging capabilities. I think I've read that in some cases it couldn't charge because of the "fit".

Awesome, thanks for that.
I was going to ask this about the Tylt, but I think this answers my question.. I just gotta figure out if wireless can charge though the trident case. I've tried it on two QI chargers, no luck yet but I've only spent a few minutes trying to position it.

Right guys I'm so ticked off right now. I bought two adapters. One a couple months ago. I lost it. Another one (the deff one from clove) a few weeks ago. I also lost that. Because they were both £10+ each its pissed me off a bit more.
My question is has anyone bought one which is good and has a strong magnet? I was considering these Sony cables that are on eBay, obviously fakes for the price they are but I'm not sure. What's your guys opinions?

Hi, I recevied a magnetic cable bought on ebay (10 euro). I tried it yesterday for the first time and after 6hours of charger the battery level was 52%. The magnetic connection is no strong and I think that cable doesn't work properly.
I will try to buy the adaptor suggest by @tonysunshine
i brought this one over 6 months ago works perfect only goes on one way says + / - on the plug if put on wrong way phone will turn itself off so not sure how MotoXoom fried his ?
+ goes at the top

i haven't used one myself yet. but a friend bought magnector x cable. and it seems to work pretty fine. magnet is strong charges quick. but not as fast as official dock or usb. but it seems pretty nice as most of the cases are not dock compatible.
http://www.amazon.com/Magnector-Per...qid=1411902689&sr=8-1&keywords=magnector+x+z2
I agree the magnector x is pretty good and the magnet is not all that bad, one thing to mention is that the magnector x is not compatible with all cases as the sides may disconnect the magnet.
My first one was the magnector-x but I found with that when I picked up the phone it would just fall off. Same with the deff. The problem I had with that is the fact that the charger wire seemed to be in opposite direction to the connector and therefore ended up not sitting correctly

MotoXoom bought a charger cable that does not have the cut off feature or detects that the charge has been connected the wrong way. So he basically shorted out hsi phone because it did not cut out. This was NOT a magnector-x adapter
The cable i brought doesn’t have a cut off feature? The phone has it, if you put a positive on a positive the phone shuts off.
As far as I know there is no protection whatsoever except for the mechanical small asymmetry (look at the phone connector and compare the "lower" with "upper" plastic tabs).
Certainly there is no electronic protection in the phone. Some phones survived "reverse connection", some not.
I don't think it can be any electronic protection in the cable or charger; they are designed to give out 0.5-1-2A and certainly that are most likely enough to fry the phone. MAYBE some wimpy chargers aren't capable of that but it's better to assume all are dangerous.
Has anyone ever tried one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161404030047?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Magnetic-...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item4d2641788c

Can you tell us the "week" of the device? You can go under the right flap, there's some plastic tray (similar to the sim tray on the left) there should be the IMEI and some other info, including something like 14W15 (meaning for example 2014 week 15). I've heard the ones after 18 shouldn't have the "unglued magnetic port" problem.
But yes, I really had to get the device for the 2 feature missing on most other phone (waterproof with external no-flap-removal charging and lanyard attachment point) but the S5 would've been better in every other way. Including the fact that 5>2 and it seems it counts. Probably Z5 would be perfect, if we ever get to that.
I have a pain in the bum case on atm and it will some work removing it. I just had another look at the magnetic port and yes it can be completely removed by just the magnet. From looking at the port there appears to be two pins and what appears to be some glue in the middle.
Could I not just super glue the port back into the phone?
If I look closely enough I can see that pressing down on the magnetic port opens up a smallish gap which I would assume would let water in.
My magnetic port moves too if a push it (even a little). And it was supposed to be from the new fixed batches.
WTF Sony? Metal and glass phone, parts held together by spit.

I have this as well, it's the only adapter that actually charges my phone in my car. Even the stock dock doesn't work! Very good magnet as well.
Anyone try Magnetor X... http://www.amazon.com/Magnector-Performance-Magnetic-Charging-Adapter/dp/B00JEN5S6A/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1412040478&sr=1-1
It seems like a great alternative to the dock... I don't want to always be taking out the thing to plug in... Magnetic and call it a day.\
I just bought three, arrived before my wife's Z3C (I'm getting the T-mobile Z3 when it's released). Look high quality enough.
I ordered one which it appears is in the same package as the phone so hopefully today or tomorrow. I'll report back if no-one else has by the time it arrives.
I heard these may not have enough clearance if you have certain cases on your phone.
clearance is limited, but the magnet has real bite - the only criticism is that it can lean away from the screen towards the rear of the phone, although that depends entirely how you hold it once attached - no led indicator, but the phone does that for you, and no issues as to the effectiveness of the charge (I've used 36% battery on the first day with moderate/reasonable use) - not perfect, just a lot better than you thought it would be......

One girl on here that I talk to said she's been using the magnetic charger on her Z2 and absolutely loves it! So I think it's worth buying (already did actually lol, but waiting for Z3 as I have the HTC One M8 right now until it gets released here in the U.S., so have to wait and see). Apparently it charges twice as fast as the regular USB wall charger does.

Right, I have one of these now and can report it's excellent. The magnet is pretty strong so holds to the phone well. Only problem I've found is that the Smart Connect app sees it as the same as the dock which is a little annoying as I used the dock at night to do things like turn off bluetooth and start Sleepbot etc.
I also bought an actual magnetic charging cable (this one: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/magnetic-charging-cable-sony-xperia-z3-z3-compact-z2-black-p41526.htm) and the magnet on that is far weaker and comes off if you touch the phone at all while charging.
I definitely recommend the Magnetor X
thanks! i definitely am going to try this!

3Shirts,
The cable I bought is this one, which is made by Magnector X: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JEMESHG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The reviews for it appear to be strongly favorable, so I am confident it will work great. What brand is the one you posted though? Can't find the maker name anywhere.
If you scroll down on mine, it says that Magnector makes this charger with Japanese parts not Chinese, so that may be the difference? Not sure. People who I've talked to on here who have the Z2 or Z3 and this charger cable say it's amazing too. So I definitely agree with your statement, though I have yet to try it out (I have the cable but waiting for Z3's release here in the U.S. lol).

Since it's also Magnector I would assume the magnets on that are as good as the ones on the adapter so it's probably great. Looks to basically the same but a fully wired version rather than being a microusb adapter like the OP.
I myself have also purchased this magnetic cable check out my review in the other magnetic cable thread. :good:

I heard speeds are great. However, there are no data to support that claim. I bought both the Magnetor X wire and adapter to test out the sizes, convenience, etc.--they will be coming later this week.

Check in the description of his video on YouTube. He has links for his set up.
This is pretty awesome, and while it's a bit pricey for a car dock solution, it IS a car dock solution and one that meets my requirements (not having to plug in a power cord every time).
Any way of getting the car mode to launch? Perhaps an NFC tag or something?
The charging pad is actually glued to tackform.
I'm also using ringke fusion case, it is a bit tight/shallow with the case on.
When I got extra time I'm going to try make better video so it can show more details.

It is a bit pricier than what I want but tackform built quality also pretty good for $20.
The other one that I also consider is exo mount, I have the old version, the clamp. It work with small device. But with nexus 6 it's a little wobbly.
The new version is for one handed but I don't think it's going to work.
I'm sorry not sure about car mode, NFC. Have to do my research again.
For now I'm just going to set up tasker app so screen would stay on while wirelessly charging. Still learning.

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a car dock for my Nexus 6 similar to the pro clip or this fix2car mount http://www.holdersandmounts.co.uk/f...on-mount-dash-mount-with-usb-car-charger.html[1]
Basically my criteria are that I want to be able to take the phone in and out of the mount without having to attach the USB cable after. I want the USB cable to be fixed and the phone simply slides in to it.
The pro clip would cost me 150$+ and the fix2car one I linked would run me close to 70$. I'm looking for something about half that price.
Hope you guys can help!
Thanks
0 replies on XDA and on reddit, something tells me i'm about to drop a hundred bucks on a car mount... AGAIN!
PSA to anyone thinking about it: DO NOT get the airdock 2, it's a piece of poop and the phone falls off constantly.
If you must have the fixed plug, you could hack one in place with some JB Weld. A lot of guys did just that back in the "old" days.
Or suguru, that stuff works great for something like this. BTW, my airdock works great.

If you would like to charge your phone in a car dock without having to attach USB each time why don't you get the QI charging dock? It is about $35-$40 here in US, probably about same in UK. And will work with non-bulky case.

welllllllll the reason why im trying to avoid a QI charging dock (which btw is not a make or model but the technology, can you specify which model you're referring to?) is because i bought this neato quick charge usb lighter thingy and i'd like to be able to use quick charge..... wireless QI charging is pretty slow and when having the screen on, and steaming music, and using maps for nav, it doesn't actually gain any charge!

the problem is that QI will bottleneck your charging. using a quickcharge usb lighter thing will work via a cable but not through QI!
QI will support up to 15 watts of charging in the future, it was actually announced like a couple of weeks ago or something, so future models will support quick charging
I have quick charger at work and at home. In the car I need the dock I can use with minimum effort and without connecting/disconnecting USB frequently

it can if you have it completely tightened down, but you would not be able to pull the phone in and out if it was tightened down. the way i have it now is the clamp holds on to the lip of the phone but not so tightly that I can't easily put the phone in and out of the dock. The clamp does not press on the buttons, this way.
I'm having problems to find a good wireless charger for my s20u... the camera module gives me issue with my old anker charger (it leaves some space between the charger and the phone) and it takes forever to fully charge it (like 6 hours from 5 to 100%). Any of u using a wireless charger that works fine with s20u? If possible, I'm looking for one that doesnt keep the phone standing up, I rather have a pad. Thanks!
I use the official Samsung one that stands up. It's like $80, but has a cooling fan and works great.

I really dont like the ones standing up because i often use the phone while charging and im worried it might fall down, anyway can you give me the exact code name of the one you're using? There are so many different chargers from Samsung. Thanks!

Thanks! I noticed its not made for the s20 ultra tho, and in the samsung page reviews:
"Had this with no issues with my S10+. On the S20 Ultra, you can only charge in landscape mode which isn't helped with the Always on Display being in portrait. It's not an east or west alignment, it's I think the Qi pad in the phone is too high and the charger itself may be too low."
Do you have a problem like that?

I charge mine in portrait all the time. I've never tried landscape though. I can try landscape Monday and post an update as the charger sits on my desk at work.

I always use portait as well so would be fine, i just dont understand why that guy said it worked in landscape only though. I guess maybe because the camera module is so big that in interferes with the charge, like with my charger now... but it works for you so I really dunno!

Maybe he's not using a case? I use an OtterBox defender pro and have used a dbrand grip.

Yea I use a case as well (ESR) but shouldnt the case make it even worse since it adds a layer? So you have some space between the phone and charger due to the module camera and also the case layer on top of that?

I bought mine from Amazon Australia. Yootech is a similar one looks a little better to be honest

Thank you!! I was hoping it was the other CHOETECH one, the one with the phone not standing... because i often use the phone while it's charging and its not confortable to me to use it while standing while its much better if its just laying on a pad.

Yes thats the one I was hoping you had. The real question is: does it work? I just had to return the one i bought yesterday because it doesnt really work well with S20U, and if you check forums all over the world a lot of people have problems to use a wireless charger with S20U. Some are WAY slower than with S10+ (like both mine, the 700mAh difference doesnt make up for 2 hours extra time), others keep disconnecting while charging it... and since I cant keep returning the chargers, I was hoping to find someone who can confirm me something that works. I was suggested the totallee one, too bad they dont see them here in europe. :/

The one i have has no issues with the 3.0 quick charge it come with. I think to get the fast charge it needs to have Samsung adaptive fast charge or quick charge 3.0 brick. My phone was charged from 5% to 100% in 2 hours and 50 minutes.
