Below is a pic of a destop charger which I'm trying to find right now. I've saved pics of different models earlier when I haven't decided on which desktop charger to buy. Now I've decided on this model for the following requirement met:
- Supplied with an power adapter, with its cable detachable
- Nice power LED indicator (lightning shape)
- Nice charging LED indicator (battery shape)
Problem is, I can't seem to find the seller anymore in eBay. Although the pic has the word "ebay-element", I could not use that effectively to track the seller. Perhaps, there's a better way to find it, so any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

You can get this through Brando-shop and Netimes.com. That's where I bought it and it works nice. Especially for charging both the phone and a spare battery.

Just to confirm, is this the one you are having?

If yes, need to check something with you....
1. Is there auto cut-off when charging is complete?
2. Does the LED light beside the battery logo changes to green when charging is complete?
3. What is the LED beside the lightning logo for? How does it work?
So, just got my wireless charger in, I set it on the charger, the white light indicator comes on, no charging indicator on the phone. I have tap+send enabled, any other suggestions?

When you drop it on the charger it should make the happy "I found power" sound (if volume is on) and light up ONCE. That's it. The charger light will go out eventually when the 920 is full.
This is by design. Don't worry about it. It's working.

No happy charging sound, it actually seems to drain my battery, the phone doesn't seem to register the charger but the charger recognizes the phone. Also the battery indicator shows nothing.

That's not good. Either the charger or the phone's broken. There isn't any user settings on the phone to enable/disable wireless charging. Do you have access to another Qi charger to try?
I assume USB charging works. The phone should behave exactly the same as when you plug it into AC via USB.

it does, I don't, however have access to another charging device. The NFC works on the phone and the charger registers it but they don't sync up.

NFC isn't used for wireless charging at all. I think its time to get that thing exchanged.
It sounds like you have the Nokia DT-910 Wireless Charger. If so, i had a similar Problem at first. NFC inside the DT-910 was recognised, but it wouldn't charge. Fortunately, i do have two other wireless chargers here (Nokia DT-901 Fatboy Pillow and Phillips DLP7250P), both of them working with my 920.
So i checked the Power Connector on the DT-910 and found it wasn't fully plugged in. I pushed a Little more 'til i heard a click from the connector, and my 920 gave a happy pling and started loading.
Obviously, NFC doesn't need power to work.

I'm having the same problem with my 920 and the LG WCP700 charger; the charger beeps and indicates that wireless charging is in progress, but the phone registers nothing.
I was thinking I would try a hard reset before contacting Nokia support, but that's a pain and I'm not convinced it'll make any difference at all.

The WCP700 is not listed as being a QI charger.
You can't just use any old wireless charging mat, it has to be marked as being a QI charger.
Doh, just found that it is QI. But even when they say it conforms to a standard, sometimes they don't or there are side-effects. My Maxell QI charger gets warm and heats up the phone when the Nokia one's dont.

Yeah, that was my thought at first . . . but others have posted that they have had success using the WCP700 with the 920. I'm guessing that the problem now is with the phone; either there's something installed on it that's causing a problem, or the inductive charging hardware is defective.
Got this CHOETECH Iron Stand Integrated Qi Charger 3 Coils for my Galaxy S6, Nexus 6 and other Qi devices.
I have several qi chargers and this is my favorite. I was happy to find a stand like this that allows for the phone to be propped up.
It looks cool with metal material, sturdy, lightweight and charged well (at the expected 5V/1A).
Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B010B6PSMC
There is a $7 off code CCJJT48V on the landing page. The price will drop to $28 by applying the code. I think it is a great bargain that I could share.
Hope it helps for some of you who are looking for a wireless charger.
CHOE qi chargers are great. I have their t517 charger with a light sensor.
Half the price of this charger stand ($17 only).

But I'm still looking for a wireless charging stand that support quick charging.
Does it charge the phone in Landscape or only in Portrait? I tend to use my N6 as a Night Clock/Alarm Clock, and so I keep it in Landscape overnight.
Also, is there an LED on the stand to show when the phone is charging?

It is supposed to charge the phone both in Landscape and in Portrait since it has wide 3 coils charging area.
Does it work with case i-Blason **Dual Layer** [Kickstand] ?
This looks great, I wish they had the quick charge feature. Only deal breaker for me but my nexus 4 would love it. Great find. Thanks for coupon!
i got the samsung wireles charger, only the regular wireless charger not the fast charger. how come my N6 wont charge when the phone is OfF? when i put on top of it phone turns ON. also the samsung wireless takes forever to charge my phone. is that how it is? how many hours this choetech charge the N6? does the N6 using choetech can charge when phone is OFF?
The phone switching on when it is being charged is a known issue with the N6. I'm not aware of any way to prevent this.
Regarding fast charging with a Qi charger - the current (low power) Qi spec does not allow for this. There is a draft spec for both medium- and high-power charging, but it will be some time before chargers and devices that can use this technology become available.
Using Qi charging almost requires a different mindset for your device. Rather than letting the battery become almost depleted and then rapidly charging it, I have Qi chargers everywhere that I frequently have my phone (office, TV room, bedroom, car, hotel rooms), so that my phone is normally sitting on a Qi charger and the battery rarely goes much below 100%. If I am away from mains power for a long time, then I have an extended battery pack that I can plug in to the phone (though you can also get Qi versions of these).
Would a charger like this charge through a case? I have a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case (with clear back) for my N6.

I also use a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case (great case!) and all my Qi chargers (I have about half a dozen different types) work fine with it.

Does this charger keep the phone charged after it reaches 100%?
The charger I'm using now (a Tylt knockoff) will reach 100%, but then stop charging until the phone is removed and replaced. This means if the phone is on the charger overnight, it'll usually drain a few percent between 1-2 AM (when it gets fully charged) and when I get up.

I have this charger and it does completely stop charging once the phone is full. Thankfully the N6 idles incredibly well and I always still wake up with 100 or 99%.
I actually returned this charger though because the LED charging indicator on the side of the stand is obnoxiously bright. Serves as a night light for my room while I'm sleeping.
I was under impression that the charging cradle is supposed to charge the watch as soon as it's plugged in. What's happening now is when the cradle is on the watch, nothing happens; but as soon as I plug the cable in, it starts charging.
Am I doing something wrong?
These are both the watch and cradle pins.
Wait a minute..... Is this the original cradle? I bought this watch used - did I get duped?
Can someone with Gear S take a picture of their cradle back, please?

Probably someone broke the original one and this one is a fake one for 5$ - I just bought one like that on ebay as I broke mine
Original has a Led on the side : blue/red/green depend on the charge level. When the cradle is charged led is blue and red when it is empty. Green when the ..... do not remember, must see the notice

CQFD ! it is only a cheap charger from chinese seller I have also one like this if my original broke.
Original cradle has also a tiny button (bottom of the dock) to see the charge when we push it, it light on the led.
I also have installed cyanogenmod 12.1 and found the issue that charging cradle is not charging gear s unless connected with charger. Also found that charging time has increased so much than earlier. Please help if you have found out some solution.

My current wireless charger will charge my phone to 100% and then quit for the rest of the night, leaving my phone at around 95% when I wake up. Is there a better charger to remedy this?
I went back to a Kidigi wired charger to get around that. I rely on the clock feature of the dock, so that was a real turnoff for me.
Tylt Vu, 100% every morning.
Using the Incipio Ghost 100 from when I had my DNA. Works perfect.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LE6X5VU?keywords=qi charger&qid=1455841206&ref_=sr_1_11&sr=8-11
Ive been using it for over a year, always at 100% in the morning.
I've been using the Choe stadium charger I like it so much I got a second for the office.
Nokia DT-900.
Bonus is that this dock, which was originally around $60, can be found for about $15 on the third party market now...

+1 for Tylt Vu
Also have the Spigen wireless charger that you have to use with your stock charger. It works great most of the time, but occasionally it'll stop working and needs to be unplugged/replugged back in.
no charger is "wireless". What I meant was, is your charging pad plugged to the stock turbo charger and stock cable?
I am using the EXILIENT CHARGING PLATE
SAME WITH ME BUT ON THE BRIGHT SIDE IT SAVES YOUR BATTERY FROM OVERCHARGING AND HEATING, moreover if you use quick charger with the charging plate you get full within 3 hours!!! ain't BAD.:good:
Another vote for the tylt vu. It technically stops charging, but my phone is always at 100% when I pick it up. It does turn off the charging light, but I am assuming that is to keep it from cooking a battery.

I've settled on the Vu as well. It stops charging once the battery is full (a few mins after the phone registers 100%). If the battery dips back down to 99% during idle, it kicks back on and tops the battery off back to 100% and turns off again.
The Vu is my fav charging stand because it doesn't have bright, obnoxious charging LED indicators. Just a nice dim green LED that doesn't light up my entire room at night.

The charging rate is controlled by the handset, not by the charger, so it is not possible to "overcharge" your battery.
It is also extremely unlikely that any increase in temperature from charging will cause any deleterious effect to the battery - this will have been taken into account as part of the design of the charging circuit.
The TYLT VU is good, but it's $50.
The Nokia DT-900 is just as good a charger, and on the third party market it's now about $15.
Your choice...but I can think of other things to do with $35 than give it to TYLT.

It is not the wireless charger stops charging. It's the software in the phone that shuts off the charging.

Sorry - I know nothing (and nor do I want to know anything!) about iPhones.
However, as a general rule, charging is normally managed by the handset, not by the charger.
