I really like Qi wireless charging.
My all previous phones are QI enabled.
Now, I have Moto Z but I do not want to make it bulky, so do not want to use battery mod.
I purchased usb c qi receiver, but did not work.
I tried another one, also did not work.
https://www.amazon.com/UniQi-Wirele...e=avp_only_reviews&sortBy=recent&pageNumber=2
Like the reviews mentioned about Moto Z, I am on the same boat.
I do not understand why...
qi receiver is just have a coil, generate power and deliver it to usb c, and phone should get the 5V power from it.
Is there anything blocking it from Moto Z itself?
The MotoZ does not support QI/aka "wireless" -charging by itself. I have the TUMI battery mod and THAT does allow wireless charging.
I am using this charger and it works fine.

No... I do not mean that..
I was talking about USB Qi Receiver pad. You can see it on the amazon link on my first thread.
I got the answer by myself.
I figured out, most of Qi receiver has short USB C connector. See the attachment picture.
Some phones are ok with short one, but Moto Z need regular size to connect inside of USB C port.
I purchased 4 of the receivers, and 3 of them has same short one, does not work with Moto Z.
Only one has a regular size one, and finally I made my Moto Z working with Qi.
Hey - just curious which one worked? Amazon link perhaps?
this one worked for me
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01G18149A/ref=pe_386430_205708660_TE_3p_dp_1
u might find it elsewhere as it is no longer available in amazon canada

Sorry for late response.
I've ordered some from China (Aliexpress) and they worked.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/SCE...32789643717.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.aq8Apt
This works fine so far. I am using it now.
One thing is, this charging receiver does not work with some specific qi chargers. It keeps disconnecting/connecting every 5 seconds.
I have total 5 chargers, and 2 of them does not work with this receiver. I purchased more "cheap" chinese qi chargers and they worked.
Looks like only cheap chargers work with this receiver..
Also, the charging speed is a little bit slow and sometimes generates heat a lot.
I will buy the Moto Mod for qi charging when it is released.
Can you repost the qi receivers that worked for moto z droid ie name/model? I am having the same problem, and the links do not work anymore

hi,
I've got a couple of micro usb car chargers I bought to charge my old samsungs.... but they dont charge my X10.
I've shorted pins 2 and 3 on one of them( d+ and d-) as per this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696760&page=2
but it's still not charging my x10, if anything the battery is being drained quicker when plugged in to the car charger
the label states the output on the charger i have shorted is 4.2- 10v @ 600mA, 750mA max
is there something I am missing?
edit: I've read some of the charging threads and discovered the li-poly battery protection circuit is stopping my cheap chargers from working, so it looks like I need to buy genuine sony (Sony an300), I wonder if this is deliberate on sony's part? I thought the whole point of standardising phone chargers to micro usb - is so that they don't go to waste every time you buy a new phone?
I found that using the original micro USB cable (Or a good quality one) and one of these -> Car USB Outlet works better than buying an adapter with the cable already attached.
Such was the case with my X1 and X2 as well.
These newer gen ones are around 700mA instead of 500mA.
Here's another version -> http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Black-USB-Car...bleAudio_MP3PlayerCarKits&hash=item3eff8f9886
Hi
I have one of these from Blue unplugged. go to blueunplugged dot com. in the quickcode type 139166. It is a 'Santok STK Car Charger With 1A USB Port'
I worked on my old X1 and with a micro usb cable it works on my X10 too.
I previously had a different device. It got very hot when I was on the phone and using satnav. This one is great. Its not missed a beat.
I think this is the cable, Quickcode 138344. Please check before purchasing though!
sorry can't post URLs.

I use my Motorola car charger and it works fine when my phone has some juice left in the battery. the first time I tried to use it the battery was completely flat and the charger would not work well, though

I bought that one, and it doesn't work with my X10. I have tried other USB devices, and the charger works.
After contacting the vendor (e-cell) they are going to send me another unit, free of charges. But I am not sure if it will work, either.

I bought one the other week to try, it doesn't work with the standard SE cable.
The light on the actual plug comes on but nothing indicates it being plugged in on the phone itself.
I've found no 3rd party in-car chargers work with the X10 and after reading all the problems people had here, I just went and bought an official Sony Ericsson one of eBay for £15. Works perfectly
I think you have to have one that has an output of exactly 700 mAp.
I've tested with higher and lower amperage and nothing worked.
I grabbed an SE AN300 off Play.com and it works with no issue. Looks like I made a trouble-free choice.
Hi, first Sony smartphone, long overdue. Anyways, is the magnetic charger on the side the only way to charge it? does it use standard microUSB?
also, international ZU owners, can anyone confirm if this comes with a 2 pronged US adapter? ( I'm betting against it).
I seen an unboxing that came with a dock, is that the "big-box" Taiwan one only?
Any car chargers showing up yet??
From what i understand (i dont own one) there is also a regular MicroUSB port hidden under a waterproof flap.

So far it seems that the magnetic charging cum dock is available in Taiwan boxes. Mine is a Hong Kong set and it doesn't come with it. I don't think Malaysian sets have it too.
There's of course a standard microUSB charging dock. It's located at the top left and hidden under a flap.
All the z ultra accessories need wait until next month. because this device just launched on 5 August at low yatt plaza. Form the Sony staff information the dock maybe can get after hari raya but the sbh52 bluetooh headset no ideal yet..... The dock not expensive I think around Rm199-229 the sbh52 around Rm259-299 maybe higher . The price info come from internet.

Ah yes, the Sony cum dock
It uses a standard micro usb slot and charger. Mine did not come with a US charger but the vendor gave me a US conversion adapter. I just use my old Samsung charger I used on my S4 and it works fine.
Any good quality micro usb charger of > 1.5A @ 5V will work fine. I use a Samsung charger rated at 2A
Hey Gang,
I just wanted to post a little FYI notice about wireless chargers.
I've seen people being sold 'deals' which include the LG Wireless Charger WORTH £60 and some thinking that this is a good deal.
The G3 is compatible with ANY QI compliant wireless charger and these start from £10. The LG charger is deffo NOT worth £60.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=sr_pg...words=wireless+charger&ie=UTF8&qid=1403693818
Really worth picking up a couple of these to dot around the house and office.
Is wireless charging really worth it? The charger itself still has to be plugged in. From your experience is it really all that more convenient?
Its a bit more convenient because you have to deal with short and tangldd cords (if u have a lot plugged into a power strip persay)
Doesn't really matter. If ppl want to use em, great. If they don't, IDC. Lol.

Thank you for this info.
But sadly I'll need to get a new LG G3 backplate in order for it to work. :/
I've just tried to use the wireless charger that I bought from the play store for my nexus 5 and that doesn't work at all, and also the magnet on the charger seems to activate the circle cover feature.
I bought the following one:
http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/221422967001?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649
And it does not work. It detects the device being placed over it (LED turns on) but the G3 ignores it. Disappointed!
I got a Nokia DT-910 from Amazon £35 and works a treat with my G3.
Tried my phone on a friends £15 QI pad and it did charge slowly and the phone got very hot!

I have the circular one from your Amazon link and it doesn't work with the G3, it complains about alignment, and stops charging when the screen is off. It worked fine with my old Note 3.
I have another couple of Qi pads in the office, i'll try them when I get a chance.

Hmm, I looked up the one I bought, the description is very similar, but it fails to work properly. Must have different electronics in it or something. I'll be interested to see what that second one is like, looks just the right angle for me.
I tried another one in my office, and that seems to work. Strangely, all that happened was the red charging light came on, as the other one turned the screen on and beeped every few seconds with a little animation saying it was wirelessly charging. Even if it does charge, its way to annoying.
Think we should use this thread to list working and problematic chargers? There's another thread with people having the same issue I found. I hope bad ones are few and far between, but might be useful to have a list.

If your working at a desk, they come in really handy. For one, it is a nice dedicated place to put your phone. If you pick up your phone lots of times a day and walk around with it, not having a cable is a godsend. The added charging function is just a great extra.
While it is significantly slower than a direct cable, if you have several ( I have 4: office desk, car, bedside table, media room) you find the cable becomes almost redundant.
One thing to note is that they can't keep up with heavy phone useage. When I'm in the car for instance, usually I have tethering, 4g and Bluetooth on, as well as navigation and streaming radio. I need a cable for that.
Yes, it is true Qi Charging is very slow compared to wall charger.
Has anyone seems any Qi charger going over 1A?
Bought a Chotech t511 qi charger , from Amazon, first of all tried it powering from the pc usb port.....no go ..same as some people have put here...would see the g3 and vice versa , start charging then drop out repeatedly ....then i tried it using the mains plug ..no problems works well...doesn't seem to slow at charging either.....

Nope, the WPC specification (current version 1.1.2) for QI low power is 5watts
No 1A? Thats a shame. It would take at least 5hours to charge G3 then.
My nexus runs hot on qi charge, wonder if it is a heat related issue they dont bump the amp higher?

I got the second one today, a few things to note:
It's seems to have issues charging from a PC / Laptop USB, probably something to do with the voltage. You need to have it landscape or it complains about it not being center of the hotspot. Thirdly I can't keep my spigen ultra hybrid case on, but I kind of expected that. You also don't get a mains plug which I found very annoying as this will only work from the mains.
The problem in most cases is not the charger itself, is the current of the plug o USB port you use to power the charger.
You need a 1.5-2A plug or 3.0 USB to make most of them work properly.

First one does not have wireless charging at least I did not find it.
Second covers the display... Therefore useless for cars and navigation.
I'm using the universal charger from qi infinity! If you're interested write me a pm I might have an coupon code.
Be sure to get the one with fast charge in it's name.
The audio port is being blocked by the charger and you can't use thick protective cases, normal ones work fine!

Are there any magnetic chargers that will support dash charging? I want to keep from damaging the USB-C port for as long as possible.
There's not one available.
I have a magnetic charger and when used with the OEM charger, the cable heats up to the point of almost burning my fingers.

You can use the magnetic charger with a quick charge charger or any other charger and it will be fine.
I'm using a Samsung Fast Charger and have no issues, the device still charges full overnight and it's pretty quick, just not as quick as the OEM set up.
Ok I still have a quick charger from my Nexus 6, but don't know how it has scaled throughout the years in terms of what's considered "quick".
I used more then one year magnetic cable from Wsken on OP 5T. It has only charge, no data. And I have no issue, heating, damages. But in this case I don't have a supercharge. I have charge current about 1.3- 1.4 ampers.

If you use just the cable and not the OEM block it doesn't cause heating issues, I get heating issues if I use the OEM block with the wsken cable. It happens periodically so not sure what causes it.
If you use the Wsken mini2 +j OnePlus cable + wsken adapter dash charge will work. So will data transmission.
I'm using the PZOZ ones I got off AliExpress, link. I have them from my LG V20 days, and no issues with it - using the same cables across my mouse, portable battery, ipad, and phone.
They have an upgraded version here, but I have not needed them yet as the current ones charges my 6T as quick as it should.

well, i don't have any exact specs or accurate data, all the specs i have are as per the weblink. the new version supports up to 5A. for me, the older version which i have supports up to 2.1A i think but works well for me. no fires or any hazards so far.
I don't think there is a dash charge wireless. All wireless chargers are slow, for now..
