Just got the TYLT and very impressed by how fast it picks up the phone and charges even through my Unicorn Beatle case. Little on the higher priced but if it lasts a reasonable amount of time will definitely be worth it. I don't like using the USB port to charge seams to shorten the life of the port a little
Itian A6 is my favorite and it's less than $30. -

Port or battery, seems either way it's shortening the life of something.

not seen an app for this, but I've been extremely impressed with the Choetech redesigned one. Search Amazon for B00C40OG22 as I can't post outside links.
A whole lot cheaper than most the other ones but has worked perfectly so far, easy to position about 1/3 bottom of the phone.
I just got the Choetech Stadium 3 coil and it works great so far.
Wow, I guess it's been a while since I looked at qi chargers because these are all < half the price I remember.
Yea, no kidding. Last time I looked the prices were to much for me to bother. lol

I use the Choe and a Nilikin. Had them for a while. The Nilikin doesn't charge sideways if the phone has a thick case and it will not line up the coils. Friend has a huge case and mine is not so big. Don't know about the in between sizes.
Got my Choe Stadium yesterday. Working great so far, even with two wraps and a Ringke Fusion case. At first I thought it was charging slower than it was draining, but decided to leave on while I slept to see. Charged to full np. Not hot or anything.
I don't seem to get almost any variation in charge speed by placement according to Ampere.
Did yours come in a box labeled "UPGRADED" on it? Didn't see a mention of it on the page (might have just missed it), and was just curious.
I just received this today. It works great and you can charge wirelessly on the go or with usb.

The CHOE upgraded and CHOE stadium are different models. I ordered from amazon and they sent me the wrong one so I'm returning it. The CHOE upgraded is a square and has only 1 coil. While the CHOE stadium is a rectangle and has 3 coils.

I actually looked it up after I posted that. Forgot to update.
It is the Stadium, but apparently a newer version. (T511 was the old one I think, from a few years ago)
"T513 QI Compliance UPGRADED VERSION" is what's on the box, as well as the CHOE Stadium stuff on the back sticker/back of the (rectangle)charger.

That is a very good charger for the money. My wife has been using one for a few months and I recently picked one up to modify it for use on my ProClip car mount. Works great. I removed the case and mounted the PCB directly to the mount with 4 small bolts that go through 4 convenient holes in the circuit board then cut the lower portion of the rear case off so the remaining bit attaches to the top to cover the back of the PCB. I have only been using it for a few days but so far it has worked as expected. Looks pretty 'factory' too.

Anker also make cradles? find one on ebay, anyone ever tryed this?
oops, no permit to post outside links, see my attachments.
yeah, somebody know where to buy?
Picked one of these up for $14 on Amazon when I purchased 2 Anker 1900mah sensation batteries for my 3D. Works great, can't use a case with this though.
Bonus for me is that it can charge another battery while your phone is docked. I will note I have found using the original HTC cable and HTC usb wall adapter with this works the best. I purchased a 10' cable for my phone, and using that with the Anker cradle didn't really do anything, but the original cable and adapter that come with the phone works flawlessly.

Please do - I'm now very curious since the price has dropped to a reasonable level.
I'm specifically interested in whether dock mode is automatically enabled, and what apps can be run from that configuration.
Also - I doubt it, but I'm curious if an MHL adapter can be connected to the dock to enable HDMI out.

I run MIUI so the dock program isn't installed, however I just tap the clock and it brings it to the picture you can see above. I believe if you're on a Sense ROM it will fire up dock mode. I actually had it plugged into my car, and started up Car Panel which was pretty gangster.
Overall, it's definitely nice to have while I'm at work during the week, but having to pop a case on and off all the time can be a hassle for some.
Otherwise it works great!

This is USB only I'm afraid. Since this is similar to Kidigi dock, Kidigi makes an MHL version of their dock but will run you about $49. You can find them on ebay. Hopefully Anker will rebrand one too for cheaper.

I was afraid having a case will interfere with this. What type case do you have by the way? I was kinda hoping atleast a TPU case would work with this dock.

I go back and forth between a Platinum case, these cheap snap on cases from eBay, and some Argyle patterned gel sleeve I got at Radioshack, and none of them work. This dock was meant for a caseless phone. I can't remember what dock I was looking at but there is one that has a removable tray that you can take out to accommodate a phone with a case.

Thank you for the input. I guess I'll just pass on this for now.
Kidigi makes a dock that can be used with some cases.
Just received my 2 Anker docks and they are great for the price. Each kit includes a dock, a wall charger, and 2 USB connectors (one long for power, one not quite as long for computer connection).
Construction is solid and phone fits well. The extra battery charging slot is a little tight, but I'd take that over loose.
Phone does not auto-recognize that it's in a dock, but I didn't expect it to.
All in all, I think well worth the price (~$45 for both and free shipping).

It looks kinda cool, but once I started reading I lost faith...
"This product is suitable for Samsung Galaxy Note. In addition to being a super battery life of portable back-up battery pack, you can also be used as the Samsung Galaxy Note protective cover, bring to your iPad strong momentum and excellent console protection."
Looks good if you buy it post a review I'm curious to know if its good or not.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
Im confused. Do you have to already own the ipad or does it come with one? If it doesn't come with one can I use the "strong momentum and excellent console protection" on a different device, or perhaps other non-related items such as my cat?
I think I might buy that. Slimmer than the mugen, and it doubles as a portable charger or extender for 35 bucks.
I see one problem with it though, can't take the stylus out with the phone in it.

Actuall i think you can. If you look at the corner there appears to be a gap there. I bet thats an opening to access the s-pen. I went with the super thick super cheap extended battery. $8 for a batter that lasts me a couple days is nice. If you, or anyone else for that matter, gets this please take some pictures for us so we know what we're dealing with in thickness and effectivness. And and let me know if it helps you ipad out any.

I dunno, if you look at picture 4 and 7, it shows the word "IN". 4 looks like where the stylus would be, but on picture 7 its the same spot on the phone just flipped and it shows the USB port for charging it.
Looks like a good alternative for $35. Total charge capacity would be 5500 mAh, assuming all 3000 mAh of the Brando battery can be transferred to the phone. That would be about the same as the Mugen 5400 mAh extended battery.

Ahah...im pretty sure those photos were added or my browser choked and didnt load them last time as I only saw the first photo, and thats why i asked for more pics. I like that it has a kick stand and isnt too thick. I may get one when the price comes down some and if the reviews indicate they are worth buying.

It's not a passthrough, so the placement doesnt matter much. The thickness will prevent it from being used it most/all docks. According to the site you must take this off the phone in order to charge it or the phone. I do tons of supplemental charging on and off through the day that this is absurd and out of the question for me. But if you find yourself only charging at night only then this is not likely to be a big issue for you, only you will need to have a second charger at your night stand to charge them both.
see i plug mine in a lot through the day as well... would be nice to see one with pass though charging as well.
Looks cool but I think it would add to much weight and bulk.
not for At&t i717 note?!?
I think the pic is of the unbranded note and it is different enough to not fit at&t model.
I purchased a miikey external 5200 mah(? Not sure of #, but close) and it is like having 3 extra batteries without turning off phone to change out.
cost was: orig. $89.95, i hit a nice sale and got it for $50.oo purchased at at&t store in central nj!
the only thing it is not good for is if you need power when connected to a pc.
my original battery either needs calibration after rooting or i have a defective battery. so, i use this till i can figure out what is going on. prolly needs calibration.
Has there been any word about docks for this phone? With the charging port being on bottom of the phone as well as being covered I could see it being a bit more troublesome. Does anyone know if the charge port cover is fully removable or on a hinge?
I would love to see a quality car dock produced.

The official dock will undoubtably use wireless charging - which should make it easier to put on and off. The dock will probably be expensive though.
It will have a wireless charging pad. There are several options (http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile...rgers-for-the-nexus-4-and-droid-dna-20121114/). But the official one will be the pad from LG.
Good idea, except how am I going to use it as a clock by the bed?

I'm guessing it will be around $80 at verizon, if it is indeed wireless charging. At that point, I'd probably look into putting a Nexus 7 in my dash where the radio was.

Exactly what I did. Aside from the wow factor, I simply got tired of having to delicately insert/remove my phone from the cradle worrying each time I was going to snap off the charger, scratch something, and just weaken its lifespan overall. I'm going to get the DNA however just so that I can finally slap a phone into the dock without even thinking about it. After I sell my car of course.
That looks great. Good job man.

Looks good. I'll definitely be doing something like this in a year, which is why I wouldn't pay much for a phone dock. Hopefully the Nexus 7 (or a newer version) will have LTE by then. I'd pay $10 a month to have the car a mobile hotspot and it would be nice that it had its own internet.
Looks like some 3rd party stores are prepping to carry Docks: http://www.htcdepot.com/htc-droid-dna-car-kits-and-mounts.htm
I am going to get a wireless pad for work, then hope that a car dock and "home" dock will be sold by HTC and/or VZW. I'd rather not have to use a "generic" holder or modify my car's dash.
Car Dock for DNA coming
We at IBOLT will announce the DNA car-dock in the next week. It will work with all cases (even Otterbox Defender type) and you can turn it horizontal or vertical position with a very little of the Dock visible. The microUSB charging plug will trigger the HTC default car-mode (great app!) or anyone can download their favorite after-market app, type CarHome Ultra. Will post images within one week and link to availability.

Will it have wireless charging built in? Cause it doesn't sound like it when you mention usb. That would be a major fail for this product, imo anyway.

Had the iBolt for my GS3 and loved it, so I'm very excited by this news. My only hope is that it is set up so that the phone goes in with the volume rocker on top rather than in the dock. This was the only problem with the GS3 version.

That would be a major PITA if it's just USB, as we would have to uncover our USB port every time we wanted to use the dock.
I would just buy a generic dock if it didn't have wireless charging, not worth the extra money otherwise.

Clove (in the UK) are doing a deal where you get the WCD-100 free when you pre-order the G3, and since their price is only £20 (US$34) more than Amazon UK are doing it for that seems like a pretty sweet deal to me. The RRP for the WCD-100 is £59.99 (US$102) here, so you're effectively saving £40 (US$68)
Can't comment on the charging speed, but if it's like the other wireless charging "solutions" then it'll be slower than a proper cabled connection, but certainly fast/good enough to suit an overnight (/nightstand) or desk charge. I came across a G3 review (sorry, can't find the link) that says that the G3 is smart enough to warn you - with a pop up - when the phone isn't properly docked in the charger. If true then that's a neat feature, all the other wireless charging things I've used only confirm when the unit is docked correctly, (e.g. HP Touchpad "bongs").
Having had the official Samsung S3 charging dock I'll be interested to see if the LG charger supports the phone better than the Samsung's one does, and also if the G3 has a "docked" mode like the S3 does.

This one works just fine with the missus Nexus 5. I see no reason why they will not work w/G3.

Good to hear. They seem like they will be small. (should get them monday)
So how big are they? About the size of a drink coaster?

thanks, i will have a consider this option until my G3 actually arrives in 9 days time. if the deal is still up, i think i gonna take the plunge.
my other consideration is that it would take about 6 hours to fully charge the 3,000 mAh battery wirelessly?!? that's like... forever...
there is another steal just came out, the incipio wireless charging pad for $13. tried to get that, but turns out that the merchant does not accept overseas paypal account.
I've got one of the cheap chargers from Amazon, it was working with my nexus 4 and then when my g3 arrived it wouldn't work with it.
However, it's not working with my nexus 4 too after trying it again today, so I think I might've just got a dodgey charger. But, someone else on the forum has had the same exact problem I'm having; charging for a couple seconds, then disconnect.
Was thinking about getting the official one, but tbh spending £30ish to stick a wire into something else and charge my phone on that a little bit slower doesn't really seem worth it.

My cheapo charger does not work at all. It detects a device placed but my g3 ignores it. Makes me wonder besides following the Qi standards, what else needs to be in place?

It does get warm near the cam area when playing games. Nothing unusual to me.
Just one time it got extra hot when I was converting from Dalvik->ART and the screen refused to turn off. The conversion took a while to complete as it has to convert over 200 apps.
The company already has a plan for a charging case. Can't wait to buy it. HYPEEEEEE

What's the point when the phone charges to 50% in 30 mins?

When your phone is almost dead and there is no plug or you are traveling and need to charge it. Simple.

This was my thought, if this case is more expensive than a Car Dash charge it'd be pointless for me! The battery life on this phone is just insane as it is, got 6hours SOT yesterday, I've NEVER gotten anything past 3/3.5 hours before.

They just look so ugly too, to put a huge bulky case on a phone which has gotten very nice and slim...eek!
What they didn't tell you is that their plan is NOT to make a case for the OP5.
Just say'n.

People that are out all day and evening but also want to use their phone normally. You might go to work, head out that evening, have a few drinks, crash at a friends and go direct to work. They have their uses, people that go camping also get good use from them as well as battery packs.
I have the one for the 3/t. It's huge but it's useful for long flights. The fact it works as a power bank was also useful to charge my buddy's phone too.

It's not rocket science is it? Lol.. The moor accessories, the moor better I say!
Hey. When is that? Can you ship one to me in India please? my email is joy (a) srinjoysen (.) com
I wonder if this actually is going happen? Yeah the battery last long enough but who would complain about more juice?
I had one for my S7 Edge. Problem with this case is USB OTG function won't work anymore. Have to remove the case.

We are waiting for this battery case... i'm waiting for like 2/3 months i guess, when you said the same thing to me on twitter... Do something like iphone 7, with 5k mAh, and slim.
In 2 days after the announce of iphone you guys put the case to sell... Come on, more you guys delay, less we'll buy it!
And please, try to sell using Ebay, amazon can't delivery to Brazil anymore e_e.
*Waiting for the case*
Well I happen to add the Amazon place holder on my wishlist and then accidently clicked on it today and it said available!. So, I just ordered one. Anyone know when this first became available to buy? Anyone have one? I hated the one for the nexus 5 with a passion, but I'll give it another shot for the rare times i need it.

Less than 2 weeks ago. Have been waiting for someone to post reviews and videos. Please do post as many photos as possible. Want to know if headphone jack requires an extra dongle for reach. If that's the case it's not for me
Just so you know, it costs $59.99 on Zerolemon's site with a 10% disc if you use THANKYOU10. I dont know how much you paid for it. It's not a referral code or anything.

so i use that itty bitty powerpack on my keychain or the big ass powerbank in my backpack
Okay got it today. Here are as many angles as I could think of that would be helpful and I compared the size with a nexus 4 and an iPhone 5s. I've tried 3 different headphones and all connected without any problems (the slot is huge). However, i wouldn't use one with an L shaped connection. It was very difficult to remove. Straight ones were no problem. The speaker grills are kind of nice. Holding the phone in landscape doesn't block the sound this way. Although I'm not sure how long you could hold it. It's heavy as hell! I can't comment on battery life of course anytime soon, but if there's any other questions let me know.

Well give it like a week trail , and see how it goes, if it works out well for you , though i'm wondering if it gets warm , etc if it's in your pocket while giving it charging power and so on. There has to be some kind of that going on to keep it up to 100%, otherwise if it works out well for you, i will buy it as well.
