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

Or do they get held in contact with the +5 and gnd connectors by the back plate?
The latter.
Ok I figured that out just the back just presses the contacts which is cool. But it doesn't charge on my inductive charger. I've verified voltage going to the inductive charger. But I set my phone on there any which way and nothing happens. This charger was a christmas present the internal qi I bought myself. It is of quality brand here is a pic of both.
Actually I will skip that. If i throw the qi pad on the charger by itself it measures 4.98v. So can whatever rom I'm using keep it from working properly or is my phone messed up
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.
This is my second Anker charing disc (the first one didn't work at all, but atleast they replace it). Now onto the review:
The packaging is the same as other Anker product that I have. The box is a plain, cardboard and logoless with the exception of their name printed on the front. The box is in a sleeve which is home to the product information on the back and a picture with a brief description on the front.
Once your open the box you are greeted by the wireless qi charging disc. The internal packaging is the same as the exterior with more cardboard, which is okay with me because the product is what you are buying and not a just a box. Once you remove the charging disc you are greeted by a small warrantee paper, and a micro USB 2.0 cable. There is NO power adapter included with this charger. All you need to start charging is a standard 2.0A USB brick. The qi charger is one of the faster one charging at 1.0A which is great compared to others.
The charger is easy enough to use, simple plug the micro USB cable into the back of the disc and the other end into a 2.0A USB charger, or external battery. After that is done you will see a little green light on the front of the charger light up, this means you are ready to charge. Simply place your device on there and your charging!
The build quality is great, its very thin, light, however, its very glossy and attracts fingerprints better than forensic dusting powder. On the underside you will find four rubber feet, along with a S/N for the device.
Here it is charging my Nexus 7 (2013):
I hope you all enjoy this quick look and review of the Anker qi charging disc.

Nice. It was out of stock when I looked and now its available. I may pick this up. I love their products.
So the people over at Choetech was kind enough to allow me to test and review their wireless charger and hdmi out adapter. I've had both items for about a week and I'm always honest about my reviews. I prefer the pro's vs con's review style so here's my thoughts. You can also check out the video
Wireless Charger:
https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Cha...946&sr=1-6&keywords=choetech+wireless+charger
Pro's
Cool egg shape design with simple resting ledge for the phone. The charger has vents on the back to prevent overheating. Fast charging works which is awesome sauce, and there's a LED indicator to show when the phone is charging. The phone charges in landscape or portrait mode. The unit is only $20, hard to beat that.
Con's
No wall adapter is included in the box, so if you want to take advantage of fast charging you need to use a fast charging wall adapter. I used the one that came with my S8 Plus. Another negative in my book is the charger cable is micro usb. With all phones moving to usb type c, it's annoying needing multiple cables. But this is something that will exist for many products for years to come, so I would buy this charger still.
HDMI & PD adpater:

I don't really have any cons about this cable. There's not much to discuss to be honest. There's a usb type c on one end that plugs into your usb type c device, and the other end has hdmi & pd out. I've tested the cable with my Matebook (Hauwei) and my Note 8 and both worked.
I've heard something about the Pixel 6 not allowing a magnet in a case to stick to a car magnet because it interferes with the wireless charging. Is this true? This will be my first wireless charging phone since I'm upgrading from the 2XL. I just currently have a magnet in my truck and a magnet in the case to have my phone handy. I would like to do the same thing but have a wireless charger in the truck. Any ideas for this?
Yes it's true. Actually it's the chargers that have the magnets, not the phone. Apple was firt to market with magnetic chargers using the Magsafe name, but fortunately even they use the Qi standard so it should work. It does seem that Qi is the lowest common denominator, so Apple's own products (and indeed Google's charger used with Pixel 6's) will charge I think at highet than standard Qi rates, if you care.
So you have to use a case that has a metal 'ring' around the wireless charging area (so it sticks to the charger) or buy a ring that sticks on to the case. Search 'magsafe compatible' for both the charger and the ring/case options.
