I am new to the nexus 6 and I have a wireless charger I bought for me G2. It came with a wireless pad and cable. It says to use the charger your phone came with.
Well our Nexus 6's come with the super chargers...
Is it OK to use the wireless charger pad with our power chargers? Or should I purchase a 2 amp (or something different) charger to use with the wireless pad?
Just looking for advice. Thank you.

You can use the g2 charger as-is. It will just be slow. Won't damage the phone..
Well I sold the g2 with the charger. So I have the charger the nexus 6 came with. I am fine with slow charging as I put it on the pad then sleep at night. I just don't want to burn something up because we have the new style chargers. Maybe I'm wrong but I wanted to ask. Better safe than sorry.

The turbo charger adapts to what it is connected to... I charge my sony sw3 smartwatch with the turbo charger every night. It doesn't feel any faster.

This is probably the best one to use for QI Chargers.
I have about 5 of them I use for the 2 QI Chargers I have and for traveling.
I contacted the manufacturer of my qi charger and they said that I needed a 1.8 amp minimum charger to work the 3 coil system. They actually sell a 2 amp add on one. They had the answer all along.. I appreciate all the responses and help.

The standard turbo charger of the N6 has a capacity of 1,6 A. When the device connected is suitable for turbo (like the N6) it switches to turbo mode 1 or to mode 2 by setting the Volt to 9 or 12 V, but only when the battery is charged below 78%.
The wireless QI charging pads from China are connected to chargers with a capacity of 1 A. at 5 V.
This way of wireless charging works for my Nexus devices..
Has anyone tried the Unicorn Beetle case with the VÜ wireless charging car mount?
I ordered it, really hope it fits... Really nervous!

You can use an QC 2.0 charger on any phone without issues. The phones/devices PCU (power control unit) controls the output and pulls what it can from be charger. I have 5 or 6 QC 2.0 chargers including 3 Motorola 'turbo' ones and some others. I use these to power my qi pads, charge external batteries, charge my Huawei Watch (formerly charged my LG Urbane) and I've never had any issues at all.

Had anyone tried this on their S7? How long does charging time take?

Since this charger only draws 2 A at 5 V, it must be substantially slower than a wired connection, since quickcharge supports up to 3 A. Does any company make a wireless charger that operates at a higher power level for faster charging?

Hi yes it is slower than the wired charger and unfortunately no company makes one that is faster than or even equal to the fast wired charger as the technology isn't there yet, hope this helps

I did some further digging. The Qi standard supports up to 15 W and supposedly the S7 is able to accept 15 W. A few companies have announced 15 W chargers and some are already shipping.
From what I can tell the way this works is there are two coils in the base and two in the phone, 5w each. I have seen a few 3 coil on Amazon and Ebay but I don't know if the phone can actually use it, seems like it would need 3 coils.

I am pretty sure the phone can't use 3 coils, more than one coil is used in chargers to gain a greater sweet spot to charge on.

Sadly, from what I noticed, it takes a while to fully charge. USB is for sure a whole lot faster than using this, but I like it because my phone is just flat on it, don't have to worry about dropping the phone and it bending the USB connection inside the phone.

I noticed again that the charger will draw either 2 A at 5 V or 1.67 A at 9 V. The latter is a quickcharge voltage. Did you try it using a 9 V charger? Maybe it does support 15 W wireless charging.
Hello dear fellows- i am facing a very strange issue on my lg g5 (850).
I have a third party charger (Aukey QC 2.0) with a usb A to Usb Type C cable. This charger never failed me once on any of my Samsung phones. Quick charging always worked as it should but with lg g5 its charging speed is very slow. According to Ampere app its just 310 mA. After connecting this charger it even shows fast charging notification but fast charging is not there.
Today i've decided to charge it after turning it off completely and guess what... It was charging really fast as it should while turned On.
Now i am confused whether it's LG's software which is preventing 3rd party cables/chargers to charge fast while turned On or is it something else.
Any input guys or similar experience?

It's always possible an app is using a lot of battery while you're charging. So the phone charges slower. Question though, why don't you just use the provided charger from LG?

Unfortunately, the LG charger was lost last week during my travel so by chance I had this Aukey charger lying around which is Quick Charge 2.0 supported so i am trying to accomplish the original results with it until i'll get my hands on a QC 3.0 compatible charger.
Hm, my Aukey Quickcharge car charger even works fine with my phone.
Make sure you aren't using the phone while charging it, it will always charge much slower.
I have some doubts on my data cable. Will try to swap it with another one and will test again.

Swaping cables didn't help either

I can confirm that the LG software does not prevent fast charge with 3rd party chargers and cables.
I'm using a 3rd party QC 3 charger with a 3rd party cable, and fast charging is working just fine when phone is powered on.
And in Battery Monitor Widget I can see that it actually is fast charging and is using QC 3 to throttle charging amperage.
However I've experienced a couple of times, when changing cable in the charger, that it wouldn't fast charge. It was solved by removing the cable from the charger and connect it again, and then it works just fine afterwards.

Thanks for the confirmation and relevant information.
Right now i only have QC 2.0 charger but i will try to arrange QC 3.0 charger soon to remove any of my doubts.

Seems like slow charging has something to do with the heat/temperature of the battery or overall phone. If i try to charge it when the battery temps are around 30 then it charges really fast but if the temp is above 30 then software somehow restricts the fast charging to avoid any damages.
I am not sure if the above analysis is valid but my observation has lead me to this point only so far.

I learned 2 things from my testing using ampere and a drok USB current meter:
First, ampere isn't really that accurate when it comes to this phone and charging currents. It was consistently about 200mah off.
Secondly if the phone is even somewhat warm, it will limit the charge current to ~300 mah with the screen on. However if you turn the screen off, it returns to full charging speed (1.8 amps in the case of my charger) I think it is some sort of thermal throttle to keep the battery from getting too hot.

That really is frustrating. I always see fast charging when plugged in, although it definitely is not fast at all if you are using it or have the screen on .
Are you plugged into a wall outlet directly? Not an extension cord? Sounds like a warranty replacement may be in order, it's possible there's something faulty with your USB C connector.
Have I not voided warranty with unlock? thanks
Tried with xiaomi charger and it works, no joy with original.
Must be faulty lg charger using same cable
I have LG G4 and I was facing the exact same problem. The phone would charge very slow while screen was on. Once I let the screen go off the phone charged at the expected rate. It seems LG is incorporating some serious throttling in their phones.

I think you can not fast charge while the phone is turned off. Maybe someone can start another thread where we can compare battery logs because this will help to see the amount of time used for charging. Is there any way of seeing if the device is using QC 2 or 3?
LG G5 on 7.0
I just got a Warranty phone because of GPS pins lost contact with case. Now I'm getting the slow charge message. I just found if I flipped the USB C over it fast charges. Just thought I would share though doubt y'all wouldn't have learned this by now with all of the testing you've done already.

I experienced that too. Isn't it strange?
Also, I experience with some chargers, the phone will just start charging for some seconds and then act as if the cable was unplugged and then start charging again. I don't know why. Anyone experiencing this too? In this case, it didn't help to flip the cable...
So disappointed with my G5 now.
Was great to start with now it's slow charge. Got new batteries but the same. Will charge off till about 5/6% then switch on. Lovely phone now just useless. Even got the phone and amp modules. Lol

This is a problem with the make of the charger. I have some Choetech QC chargers, and the programming in the QC is faulty. Some safety mech kicks in, turns off the charger, then turns back on again, over and over. I have some Tronsmart chargers and there is no issue. Of course, the OEM LG one works fine too.
Hi
I have purchased a wireless charging receiver.
On other phones it works just fine, but on the Motorola One it does not get recognized and does not charge my phone.
Any ideas what could I do to enable it?
It doesn't support wireless charging. Simple as that.

There has never been the feature. I have a Fast Wireless Charger, since Android 8 respectively since the S9 is out there.

The setting appeared in my s9+ and also in my gf's s7 AFTER charging them for the first time in my Samsung wireless charger (EP-N5100)
So if your wireless charger is from Samsung, check if the fan is getting enabled while charging because it only does while fast charging.

I have a Samsung Fast Charger (Wireless) but there is no option for me while charging (EP-PN920).
Edit: My fault, my problem was the usb cable.
Sorry for misunderstanding in my very first post... I have no option about wireless charging in phone's options nor when I put phone on wireless charger itself there is still nothing (in options or charging at all). Wireless charger is original Samsung and original cable so this is not the case.
Tomorrow I will try to flash stock firmware (which I am still using = as out of the box) via Odin if it helps.
Who would have guessed that the problem is metallic piece for magnetic car mount...?
