Might seem like a silly question, but will wireless charging work through a case like the Seidio Surface?
--KD8FRE
Yes, it should charge through a case. I have a case on my S3 and see no appreciable difference in wireless charge rate vs. having it off
is there a wireless charging receiver/charger that supports 2A charging speeds?
No, wireless charging is rather slow as you can imagine..

The Samsung wireless charging plate actually supports 2A, but my Qi receiver card maxes out at 1A with the S3, and the one I ordered Note 3 unfortunately has the same limitation. When I absolutely need the rapid charge, I have and still will have to unplug the plate and plug the cable into phone directly.

So with my phone, I absolutely have to tether all day.
does anyone know the inductive charge rate for the nexus 4 wireless orb??
would be awesome to have the charger charger faster than what the phone would use tethering.
Love the inductive charge idea as i'm currently plugging/unplugging all freaking day at my desk.
Someone in another thread mentioned that the orb is, unfortunately, slower than connecting directly via a wire. It's more just for ease of access.
Yes. Its for ease of access. Of course its going to be slower. Same as WiFi vs Ethernet. Wired is always going to be quicker but wireless makes life simpler
I can't remember where I read this or if I'm just making it up but the wireless charging should be at about 60% efficiency.
Meaning 1hr of wired charging would be equal to just over an hour&half of orb charging

yeah. i just want the battery to charge faster than what the phone uses.
i guess there is only one way to find out! lol
I've never used tethering so I don't know how fast it eats battery, but chances are the charger will charge faster than the battery drain..
Considering rule of thumb current large screen phones break even USB charging, I would assume wireless charging is at very least faster than USB or we would hear about wireless charging being slow a whole lot more.

The orb base has a usb mini b connector to supply it power, so the orb is receiving the same voltage the phone would. And induction is inefficient, so it will probably charge slower. Unless the orb is drawing more amperage than the phone would to make up the difference. I would expect it to be slower.
It would be more so how much current is passed through the magnetic fields. 5V is 5V. It just depends on how fast the 5V's gets pulled into the battery.
I imagine that, with the screen off, it should charge more than is drained. Even if it was an overall negative differential, it should slow the drain down enough to keep you going all day.
That said, this is about as bad of a worst-case scenario as you can get for long-term battery performance.

My Palm Pre and Touchstone charging was noticeably faster than charging off a computer USB port, but still slower than wall charging (1A). So I would think wireless charging will be fine while tethering, as long as the screen is off.
I remember reading somewhere that the charge rate of wireless charging is 1.5A. I'm pretty certain.

Hi, doing the usual upgrade as I have since the s1 days. Does anyone have the genuine wireless cases and do they work well? How's the charging times?
I do. It works great. My experience is that it charges faster than a USB 2.0 cable but slower than the 3.0 cable it came with.

i've used the official case and the 3rd party inserts and they all charge at about the same pace. A bit less than half the speed of the OEM charger. Using the Galaxy charging app i get about 1200-1800 Mah with the charger and about 600-700 with the charging back/cards.
Hey guys,
I just plugged my note 4 into my car charger (anker charger, oem note 4 cable) and couldn't get it to charge. It charges my note 3 no problem.
I also have no problems charging my note 4 with wall chargers.
Any help?
I've got the "Anker® 18W / 3.6A Car Charger with Built-in Micro USB Cord for Android" and it's actually CHARGING my Note 4 when using GPS navigation and playing music! My Note 2 wouldn't charge, but it would hold charge under the same conditions.
What model charger are you using?

I actually can't find it on the charger itself or even Amazon. It's relatively new, I thought it was a 2.0/2.1 amp charger (2x USB). Definitely Anker though.

Are you using both usb's at the same time? If so, it's splitting the power, so you'll get a slow charge.

Sorry, I should have specified - the only thing plugged into the charger is my Note 4.
Shoot, maybe I just need to grab another charger. Thought I made a good decision with that Anker.
Thanks for your reply by the way

If you get the one I listed, it works for sure. Great charger and it's been the only one my wife hasn't been able to destroy. :laugh:
Will the car charger also do the 50% in 30min charging ?

Hmm.. this mentions rapid charging, I wonder if it's as fast as the wall charger
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECA-U21CBEBXAR
The only chargers that work with the new fast charging technology are ones that are purpose built and have the ability to switch between 9V and 5V,they are quite uncommon.
I have this charger http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D82O68Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and it charges my note 4 while running Waze and tethering my Radar Detector via Bluetooth (which also uses GPS)....and it charges my wife's S5 at the same time
Using an afer market 2.1a charger and an S3 cable, charges just fine.

I believe Samsung has stated it's a 9v charger instead of the conventional 5v charger.
Did some more research and found this:
http://www.incipio.com/chargers/car-chargers/quick-charge-2-0-single-port-usb-charger.html#
From the Engadget review, "I clarified with Samsung that it chose a proprietary solution instead of licensing Qualcomm's QuickCharge tech, but it insisted that you could still use QuickCharge 2.0-compatible chargers to achieve the same results."
Also from http://www.samsung.com/sa_en/support/skp/faq/1063730?CID=AFL-hq-mul-0813-11000170
[FAQs] Smart Phone : Galaxy Note 4- To use fast charging, what kind of charger should be used?
Fast charging uses battery charging technology that charges the
battery faster by increasing the charging power. The Galaxy Note 4
device supports Samsung’s Adaptive Fast Charging feature and
Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0.
To use Fast charging on your device, connect it to a battery charger
that supports Adaptive Fast Charging or Quick Charge 2.0.
Hope that helps someone, credit goes to the users over at http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-charger-supports-fast-charging-note-4-a.html
It appears like Samsung's Adaptive Fast Charge is in fact an equivalent of Quick Charge 1.0 but not Quick Charge 2.0.
Samsung's adapter outputs either 5V or 9V:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00071944/98120/SM-N910PZKESPR
Quick Charge 2.0 outputs 5V, 9V and 12V. It is confirmed by this photo of Motorola's Turbo Charger as well as exemplary page of some OEM quick charge 2.0 adapter:

Just a guess but I expect your need a bigger battery, like that in a tablet, to handle charging at 12 volts. As it is, I'm blown away by how fast this phone charges on the adaptive charger. Just wish I could get one for the car.

I couldn't agree more :highfive:
Yep, its a beast at charging, according to PhoneArena it remains the fastest charging phone around, so its Adaptive Fast Charging is doing an incredible job!
My concern would be what it does to battery life..can't help but think the lifespan of the battery will take a hit using fast charging all the time.

You could always buy a car power inverter and use the fast charging adapter with that.

My car has an a/c outlet; the real problem is just finding stock on the adaptive charger. Even then, don't much want a cord running to outlet in back seat. As for using an inverter.. D/C ports are in awkward places to use one in Explorer. Will make due until auto version is available.
Guys does anyone know if the below accessory is real?
Samsung Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 USB Car Charger [Part No: ECA-P20CWE]
Not sure if this is real as this is the only website that stocks this 'Samsung branded' charger. A google search shows similar items on Alibaba so I'm guessing this is fake.
Anyway I am going to buy this:

What do you mean you wish you could get one for your car? There are plenty of compatible models available for your car. This one has 1 quick/fast charge port and 3 regular 5v 2.4amp ports.

You are quoting a post from last October. Things have changed.
2.0 works the same?
I am planning a 900 mile hike and need to minimize weight since I will be bringing filming gear. I have purchased a light weight plug strip with Quick Charge 2.0 USB ports. Will this work the same as the Adaptive Fast charger for my Note Edge? Or will I still need to bring the little white USB/AC plug thingy?
Thanks!
Guess I'll find out when the plug strip arrives.

No, the Samsung regular wireless charger actually comes with the Fast Charge plug. It still does not Fast Charge wirelessly though.
