I'm thinking about getting a new battery for this SX66 I just got off Ebay. It does fine for the most part, but it won't charge off of the car charger or USB sync if the battery gets below 80% or so. It's getting a bit annoying trying to keep the charge that high all the time, or having to charge it up to 80% before I can plug it into the car or a PC (I don't have a cradle, just a sync cable, and wall charger).
Can anyone suggest a nice battery that won't blow the phone up? I have the phone in a Krusell case that wraps over the keyboard, so the battery can't be any thicker on the bottom half, but it can be a little bit thicker on the top half if needed.
Also, are there any chargers around that would allow me to have one battery in the phone, and the second battery on the charger?
Thanks!
I recently picked up a Momax battery charger from ebay :
http://cgi.ebay.com/Momax-Battery-C...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories?hash=item2304be6824
It has been very useful to me as I already had a few spare batteries. I now take it with me when a travel instead of the genuine charger and I can easily keep all my spare batteries charged . I always have a few spare charged batteries with me just in case phone usage is high during the day. It also has a USB port and can charge the phone in a convention way or even other USB devies like IPods etc. Recommended!
Hi,
I bought a quick circle case to go with my f400k. The case came directly from Korea and the pins look like they match up.
I am trying to charge with this cheap charger:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/28136049...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
The charger has a blue light which switches on when I place the G3 on it but the G3 doesn't charge.
Does this sound like a fault with the case / charger or phone? I am running Sphinx 1.0 if software can make a difference.
I don't have any other QI devices or charges so can't really test.
Thanks
Are you plugging it into a USB port or a wall charger? I had one really cheap qi charger that wouldn't charge very well in a USB hub, if at all. But works ok(not great) when plugged in wall.
I have tried both. Out of interest did your cheap charger have a LED and if so did it only come on when the phone was actually charging?
No it has a light on all the time, and changes when charging.
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.
Go get one of these:
Qi Adapter
Plug it into your charge port, and just use a sticker or electrical tape to stick it to the back of the device, then slap that bad boy back in its case.
Your Nord will now charge on any wireless charging mat.
I suggest Spigen cases, but that's just me.
whats the charge speed since it takes your usbc port
