I got one from ebay and it only will charge without a case. Im using the panasonic qi charger.

On my S4, I use the wireless reciever from Monsterwatts.com with my Nexus 4 wireless charger- works great even thru the case
The one in your link looks similar... why not try it out and let us know? Its cheap enough.

Can we get the Qi wireless chargers for the Thicker 6400mAh batterys ?

Inductive Charging for Nexus 7?

Would this be possible? I know you can achieve AC charging on the Galaxy Nexus with the palm pre inductive charger but would it be possible with the nexus 7? Does it simply not give out enough power to charge the tablet.
Just noticed HP touchpad has it as well....should have done more research! Maybe this will become an info thread for people willing to attempt it since the back cover is easily removable.
So the touchpad charger (wired) will charge the N7. Does anyone know how much the touchstone puts out? I would like to have this charging mod on my Gnex and my N7 soon with just one touch stone in my house. Just want to make sure the touch stone can put out enough juice for the nexus 7.
Thank you,

Not sure but don't think it would work. I have it on my gnex and the touchstone puts out 1 amp where the N7 stock charger puts out 2 amps. If it did work it would prolly take twice as long to charge but I could be wrong!

HP Touchpad also uses 2 amps charger (in fact won't work with any other) by default and touchstone can charge it even it it's competelly dead. Full charge takes about 4-5h (i usualy charged it during the night), but i never bothered to check how much amps it gives via touchstone. I think it should should work with Nexus 7 as well.
That's what I saw, and also on the HP site it said same Approx. charge time as wired charger. Has anyone torn down the HP touchstone yet anywhere? I'm very interested in this. Wireless charging at home and possibly as a car mount as well.

Any luck with wireless charging mod yet? Would love this feature!!!
Nokia makes a wireless charging adapter, it plugs into a microusb and lets the phone work with their charging plate. I bet you could take that apart and it would be easier to find then touchstone stuff because you can buy it new. I'll see if I can find a link.

[Q] Which Wirless Charger?

What wireless charger do you buy for use with this phone? Thanks.
well if they ever decide to release pricing and availability information I wouldn't mind grabbing the Fatboy Wireless Charging Pillow for the new Nokia phones.
This is probably a stupid question, but presumably the wireless charging won't work if there's a case between the back of the phone and the charging unit?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
As long as the case isn't metal, it should still charge.
Since it appears Google isn't making their own, can someone list a few good wireless chargers compatible with the Nexus 4? Thanks.
just do a google for " qi charger" you'll find a few
The Palm one is compatible?

Nope!
I would my best bet. The wireless charges that the iPhone use like that energizer pad?
#Galaxy Nexus HSPA+
Any QI Charger will charge the Nexus 4.
Touchstone chargers will not work.
Possibly this or the one-position variant of that product.
I have one of the Lumia 920 fatboy chargers, will that work?
I had the Nokia 900 wireless charger from Verizon and it wouldn't work correctly w/ my N4. It kept cycling from charging to not charging. I know it wasn't the chargers problem because it works fine with my dad's DNA. So not sure if I've got a faulty N4 or if the charger just isn't compatible. Anyone else try it?
I have the energizer wireless charger, while it works perfectly with my nexus 4, I must recommend against it.
The reason being the back of the nexus is glass, the surface of the charger is glossy plastic and combined with the slight angle of the charging surface, my nexus is happy to slowly slide on the charging surface.
Easy fix by putting some glad wrap on the surface, but detracts from the clean look of the charger

Exact same problem here (charging-non charging cycle). Neither the wireless charging stand nor the wireless charger on the JVC sounddock works for me (both say they should work with qi compliant devices however)

Wireless charging kit advice.

If I want to set up my phone for wireless charging can I buy any qi wireless charger or does it have to be the one specifically for the s5? It's about £35 here in the UK, but I've seen much cheaper ones. I will already have to pay £30 just for the wireless charging Samsung back cover, unless there are any cheaper options for that too?
I'm new to wireless charging so am just after some advice to save some pennies.
Thanks..

I'll hijack ur thread to post another question since I wanted to get the wireless charging mini pad, do you always have to plug the pad in mains or does it hold charge itself?
Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk
Any Qi wireless charging pad *should* work. It's a standard so you shouldn't need a Samsung specific pad. That said, all charging pads aren't created equal. I've used no-name Chinese ones, Nokia ones and Samsung ones and I've stuck with the Samsung ones.
The downside to cheaper ones can be overheating (rarely to "burn your fingers" hot, but they can warm up quite a bit) as well as sometimes needing very specific placement on the pad in order to start charging.
I haven't used wireless charging with the S5 yet as I'm waiting on the cover (not the S-View one) being available, but I've used it with my S3 (3rd party receiver inserted under the cover) as well as with my S4 (3rd party receiver initially, and then later the official Samsung wireless charging cover).
@skivnit - The charging pad needs to stay plugged in to something. You may be able to plug into a portable charger (and some portable chargers may come with Qi charging built in, but you're probably paying a premium for those).
Then glad I did cancel my order as I thought I'd get rid of the cables for good might just buy one of those portable chargers

Qi wireless charging

Has any one any experience with wireless charging on the Yotaphone 2? It supports the Qi standard but I've not ever had any device that can be charged wireless so I don't know what to expect.
There are some cheap chargers on ebay so I may get one to experiment with but wonder what others are using, how long a charge takes? is there a tiny sweet spot to get it to work? does it get hot? Any compatability issues?
Thanks

Hi there,
Yeah actually I got one for my YotaPhone 2, it's ADATA Elite CE700.
First I have to say I was very disappointed because apparently you can only wireless charging the YotaPhone2 with the main screen facing up! Also you should know that the spot where Qi located is a bit small (3cm in height in the middle of the EPD Screen), but that also depends on the type of wireless charger you would use. Something like Tylt Vu would Support more area thus its more hassle free.
It's also good to know that with wireless charging you won't get Quick Charging anymore. Because In order to do that you must use the MicroUSB port. But again how long a single charge takes depends the type of the Wireless Charger and the amount of output current it has which most of them are 1~1.5A.
For your last concern, any Qi Wireless Charger will do but try to get one of the Tylt Vu. It has the best reviews. And the phone won't get hot during wireless charging if you must know.
And something which I'm not sure whether its my wireless charger or it's general, is when the battery is 100% the charging won't stop, unlike the normal charging with dedicated adapter which cut the current when the charging is complete.

Hi, thanks for your detailed reply, I've now ordered two different generic chargers off amazon to experiment with, they are coming from China I think but were less than a tenner, I'll report back on these after ive used them for a bit.
It seems less than ideal for me to have to charge with the EPD facing down but I guess this is an engineering limitation. I'm sure there would be advantages and disadvantages of each side facing up during wireless charging.
I recently bought the Nokia DT903 wireless charging plate.
It works effortlessly with the Nexus 5. I can pick it up and place it back for charging with no connection worries.
With the Yotaphone 2 it does work, but it has to be in EXACTLY the right spot.... I'm talking millimetre precision here.... it becomes really frustrating to use and spoils one of the key benefits of wireless charging.
That's what is worrying me about Qi charging, I like the idea of wireless charging for the convenience, I work shifts and fiddling with the usb cable when I get in can disturb my partner, just being able to lay it on my night stand would be great, but sometimes I check the time on my phone in the middle of the night, or get up for the loo and nudge the charging cable and move the phone and if its really fussy about how it sits on the charger then I could end up with the phone not being charged overnight.
The ADATA Elite CE700 mentioned by Parisabs4 above looks like a good solution as it is adjustable and with the phone sitting on the cradle it is hopefully easier to hit the sweet spot.
QI charging experience
Okay so I've now tried 3 different Qi wireless charging plates and I have found that all of them exhibit the same problems whilst attempting to charge my Yotaphone 2
In the picture there are 2 single coil chargers and one triple coil charger (the one that is not flat) they are budget models, costing between £4 and £7 on Amazon.
I can get the Yotaphone to begin charging correctly on all three chargers, the phone says it is charging and the qi devices LED blinks to confirm charging. After 10 - 15 seconds the Yotaphone & chargers will stop charging, the indicators on the phone and charges indicate that charging has stopped. After a couple of seconds charging will recommence for about 15 seconds and the stop again, this cycle repeats for a few times then charging stops all together. Lifting the Yotaphone off and then returning to the charger will recommence charging.
My conclusions are that
My device has a faulty wireless charging receiver. (This is unlikely as im on my second device with the same symptoms after an RMA for a previous fault)
The charging software in the Yotaphone is buggy.
The Yotaphone is not fully compatible with the QI standard.
The Qi chargers I am using are not powerful enough for the Yotaphone. (Unlikely as I've now tried 3 different chargers but they were cheap!)
Has anyone else experienced this problem or is using a charger that is proving reliable?
I'm tempted to try the official wireless charging block as it ought to be compatible with the Yotaphone but its £40 wasted if not (although it can charge via a usb port too)
WHY IS NOTHONG EVER EASY IN THE TECH WORLD!!!!

Thanks for that info, I've ordered a Nokia DT-601 from the whitelist, fingers crossed!
As a footnote I have found my tablet charger (a 2.1amp samsung) works with one of my qi charging plates to charge the yotaphone but any other 2.1amp charger exhibits the same problems as the regular 1 amp chargers I've been trying to power the qi plates. Also I've discovered the Yotaphone will not charge from the usb socket in my car but any other device I connect to the socket charges fine, this is one flakey device!

I bought a cheap nameless one, have yet to receive it, I hope it will work in combination with a powerful adapter. Anyone got these cheap (5 USD) chargers working with their phone?
Another good QI charger for YP2 is/are the ones that IKEA sells. They have several models, but all seem based on the same platform powered by a 19V DC adapter.
I couldn't get any cheap QI chargers to work reliably with my YP2, but the IKEA chargers work great. They have some margin in positioning the phone on it, and prices start at around $30/EUR 25, so not to bad. I cannibalized the electronics from a JYSSEN to transplant them into a custom 3D printed charger case.
Does anyone have any experience using this Samsung 2A charger with the Yotaphone 2?

UPDATE: Never mind, I ended up buying the Nokia DT-900 since it's on the official list of supported chargers.
I bought my first wireless charger , a cheapo one from China just to see how they are. Cheap as in 4 USD. It does work but exhibits behaviour like described above. All night only charges it a little and the on light is not on much. I thought it was a problem with a cheap charger, but maybe not, it sounds like Yotaphone firmware. I don't have any problem finding the sweet spot.
I was reading about new LG fast charger that is coming out soon, first ever fast 15w wireless charger. But of course it will be expensive .
http://m.androidcentral.com/lg-announces-new-super-fast-wireless-charger-get-you-cables-good
I bought an 3-coil-qi-charger-stand from China (eBay article 381639407985) about 10€. It works perfekt.
Cheap Single coil charger work also, but only if you place the Yotaphone at the exactly right position ( only 2mm tolerance). As the coil inside the 2,80€ single-chip-computers charger from China is often not places correctly inside the housing, you first have to correct that.
So tripple-coil is to be prefered.
One nice thing: Charging via QI and USB-OTG works fine at the same time on Yotaphone. You can put the Yotaphone 90 degree rotated on the 3-coil-charger-stand and watching Videos from a USB-Stick.
I even think about building an own small OTG-Adapter, using a extreme small micro-usb-connector (like used in universal QI reciver-plates), a very small USB-Micro-SD-Reader, some wire and epoxy. The SD-Reader will be placed on the lower frame of the ePaper. I use a bumper and would cut the neccassary space out of it. So I could build an nearly invissible (with bumper) SD-Card-slot. 64GB extra space is nice...
I'm using a Nokia DT-910 that I originally bought for my Nexus 5 a few years back.. works just fine with the YotaPhone 2..
No need to be careful with positioning or anything like that.. just put the phone on it and that's it.
The benefit of a charger like this is that you can actually see the screen while charging instead of it being flat on the table like some other models.

Never thought about it but they do seem quite common https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=qi+wireless+powerbank
Or you can easily make one yourself by taping a wireless charger to a powerbank
In that case there is a wire, between PB and Wireless charger. �� so NOT wireLESS, lol
Can I use a QI Wireless power bank to charge the Yotaphone in my pocket?
Sometimes my phone runs out of juice. Is it possible to buy a power bank with wireless charging capabilities and use it to tirelessly charge my phone, by placing the power bank in my pocket next to my phone?

wireless charging - any charger and wireless support will be fine?

so it is not recommended to use not original kit of samsung then...?
will this ones fit with the normal back cover...?
I use a cheap Chinese receiver unit, it fits in my original back and works fine.
As the original charger back uses QI standard you must be able to use any QI charger regardless of the brand.
I tried a third-party Qi receiver and strongly recommend the genuine Samsung wireless charging back cover. I have it and also have the wireless S-View cover. Any charging pad will work but try to get one with three coils if you can.
