Review - YCCTeam wireless Charging Pad - Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories

I recently received a test unit to sample from YCCTeam, to use with my Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. I had been using older Qi chargers before this, namely multiple Nokia DT-900 units arranged around my house, and a few other random Chinese branded chargers as well.

The phone connects reliably, every time it's placed on the charger, and works with the various cases that I use. To be honest, I've never come across any cases that DON'T work with Qi chargers, but I don't use bulky options like UAG or Otterbox. I haven't noticed any unusual heat from either the charger or my phone since I've started using it last week.
I tried a few phones with this charger, namely the S7, S7 Edge, the Nexus 5, and the Droid Turbo. Because of the three coil technology, the phone easily connects and starts charging, regardless of placement. This is my first three coil charger, and I have to admit it's nice to not have the phone disconnect overnight if my cat bumps the phone while it's charging on my nightstand. When the phone is placed on the charger, you get an awesome effect with the blue LEDs around the edge, and they have a slow "breathing" effect where the lights pulse on and off. It's nice to see that it's working, and on a desk or a table, this will be great. It's NOT subtle, so I wouldn't keep this in your bedroom, to be perfectly honest.
Now, to the down side, and this is a big down side for me: For some reason, when the phone is not on the charger, the LED lights stay on, rather than off. I can't get confirmation on if this is a defective unit or not, but needless to say, you don't want this next to you while you're trying to sleep. For this reason alone, I relegated this unit to my office where it's not a distraction.

Anyone Know If The Magic Dock Will Work With The G1?

It's on T-Mo's site for $25. Of course you'd have to take the USB cover off.

the usb connector would be fine, question is whether it would physically fit in.Not really sure because the dock seems to fit around the bottom curve of the magic, but the bottom of the G1 is flat. I'd say probably not.
If you're looking for a dock, there's a number of them on ebay specifically for the G1. I got one with a slot for an extra battery and it works just fine.

i got mine off amazon when i was on super sale, the one i have has a slot for an extra battery and it works great, only downfall is it has a bright ass charging led that i covered up with a small peice of electrical tape, works really well, but a g1 with a extended battery will not fit in it (atleast not the battery door that i had), and it cant charge the extended battery either (as in i cant take it out and put it in the slot)
To be clear, you have to pull off the USB door, correct?
Its better not to use a dock. It puts unnecessary stress on the plug and doesn't offer any benefits. You would be better off just plugging the wire into it.

i agree. docks are just eye candy. and plus its a lot easier to use the phone without being it plugged up to a dock

[Q] 2 Battery contacts on the flat surface. What do they do?

Hi All,
I have a Touch HD and I am looking at replacing my battery, as I have one of the first released and the battery has come to the end of its useful life.
I have noticed that the genuine HTC 1350mV part no: 35H00120-01M has 2 metal contacts on the top right and left corners of the flat side of the battery.

All the non-genuine batteries do not have these 2 metal 'contacts' on the flat side of the battery.
When I put a multimeter across them, it shows that they are connected to each other, but not connected to the actual battery terminals. By that I mean, there is no voltage drop when I connect one of these terminals to any one of the main power terminals of the battery.
I have looked at the HTC_Blackstone_Service_Manual and it shows that these contacts connect to a metal plate. This plate could be a shield or a heat sink for the battery.
Can anyone advise me just what are these 2 contacts used for?
Are they necessary?
Will my reception suffer, if I use a non genuine battery such as one of the extended batteries?
If all 3rd party batteries don't come with these, can I assume they are not needed?
If they are not needed, then why did HTC see fit to have them in place?
Thank you in advance.
David
I guess this is for grounding purposes.
i am currently using a after market replacement battery, there is no such 2 metal 'contacts' on the battery. The replacement battery works very well with my phone. It is even works better than genuined one

The price is right, but I don't see that it is spec'd as a 1000mA charger, so one has to assume it is only 500mA.
500mA will charge slower, and sometimes will not even have enough juice to prevent battery from further discharging. When using navigation with full brightness, the phone will draw more than 500mA just to keep running.
Amazon has a 1000mA charger for $4
The only thing I can points to it being a 500 rating. You would think it would be higher with the extra USB port it would be higher. Bummer.

good point!
i dont see any motorola branding, and that doesnt look like a moto design. furthermore, a google search doesnt show any other motorola chargers with an extra usb port
What ever the case, im in for 1
You get what you paid for. I can see this thing falling apart when you pull it from the plug.

Even if i use it for a day, it was worth a $1
DO NOT BUY THIS!!! This is garbage. I have one with the Verizon branding ($29.99) which is the same thing and it causes the touch screen to not be responsive when plugged in.
LMAO Verizon WOULD sell this for $30, and charge another $5.99 for the fuze that goes in it.
There are some users reporting that this is not Moto branded and this one has issues.
You're better off buying the real Motorola branded one off amazon for $4...

Loose USB cable? Here's how I fixed mine

I'm sure you guys have experienced it to some extent. Whenever you use a micro that isn't the stock MHL that comes with your phone. Regular micro's tend to come loose here & there causing it to lose connection/stop charging.
At least for me, it does this every single time I'm charging my phone in my car.
So, to stop it from moving, I wrapped the end near the connection with a strip of that wall mounting foam & then went around it with some electrical tape. I had to do a minor adjustmentbut now it doesn't wiggle at all.
I'm definitely experiencing this problem. Sometimes I have to hold the phone in a manner where I have my finger "propping" the cable in to keep it charging.
Might look into this fix...
I wish HTC or any of the phone makers would come out with something that worked. It gets old trying to make this work......
Get a charger with a USB port and a separate cable, then when this happens just replace the USB cable. Not ideal, but the cable is cheap enough. And that's how the connector is designed, for the cable to fail and not he connector on the phone. It's much cheaper to replace the cable than it is to replace the phone.
I picked up a couple of these and they fit great, they snap in nice and firm.

My stupid mhl connector got stepped on and bent and the tip broke off
The cable from my old droid seems to fit snug but not nearly as secure as the original cable

Whoa!! 6 feet of cable, awesome for couch surfing. Maybe a little crazy for the car. I'm not above hacking one of those 3 dollar suckers down to a more manageable length for the ride.

Verizon Quick Charge 2.0 Charger (Wall \ Car)

For those who have good discount at big red. They have the wall \ car charger. With my corporate discount, the final price is $24 with free next day delivery. I bought the car charger last week and it works great. The wall charger was OOS but it's in-stock today.
Both come with the LED USB tips. The LED is pretty damn bright. It helps when you try to plug it in in the dark. Nice feature but if you don't have corporate discount, it may not worth an extra $10 compare to the charger on Amazon.

It's weird that these don't utilize the 12V charging voltage in the QC 2.0 standard, only the 9V and 5V (especially since the source for the car adapter is already 12V). On the other hand, Moto's Turbo Charger does, but it only provides the exact same 14.4W power as it does at 9V, so this one should actually be a tiny bit faster. Good find.
9V seems to be more common. The Note 4 charger's output is 9V 1.67A.

Picked up both of these this weekend. Good stuff! One thing to point out if you charge your phone in your bedroom at night...charger has a large red led that lights up when charging and turns off when its completed. Useful, but its BRIGHT
Picked up the car charger the other night. Works great. Was going to pick up a spare wallcharger too, but since my friend works there, he hooked me up with 2 spare motorola ones from display droid turbos. Left the store with a vzw branded car charger and 2 motorola turbo wall chargers for ~$28.
