Qi charging back: fast charging still possible? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I get the qi charging back will normal charging via the USB (and fast charging via the fast charger) still be possible?
Any recommendations for a good charging base? (Anker seems to be good with other charging equipment so are they good?)

Fast charging is not possible with the QI cover.

fast charging will still available ONLY if you use the adapter from within the box, no matter what case you are using. CMIIW

I understand that fast charging won't happen via the QI charging, but if ou have the QI back installed, you can still charge via USB as before, including thefast-charger, no?
Will the fast-charger (with its higher voltage or however it makes that work) affect any 3rd party QI coils that may not be prapared for this?

There is no way for fastcharging to work with qi wireless charging. NO WAY. But if I remember well the official qi charging back is outputting 800 mah witch is not bad at all.

Maybe you need to ask samsung or Qi in that.
I guess they have different route for filling the battery. But I don't know as I'm not an electronic experts.

Fast Charge works fine with the Samsung S Charger View Cover. Not received my 3rd Party receiver yet but cannot think it would have any impact to Fast Charging either!

Right charger for my Orange SPV 3100

HI friends after my last charger got lost I am looking for another charger but as I am not able to find a right one I am forced to charge it with my PC USB. May I know which is the right charger I mean the voltage because I have a mp3 player charger with USB plug. Can I use that it differs in the voltage up to a very less extent. Is there any harm of using duplicate or different companies charger. I have heard that motorola charger works with HTC devices as well. So plz guide me friends with Your valuable comments..Cheers
The output on my charger is 5v--- 1000mA. I have a similar charger for my Motorola S9 stereo bluetooth headphones and use this to charge my phone but this is 5v---850mA and I have noticed that although it charges the phone sometimes the charge icon does not light up.
I sometimes use the phone charge to charge my bluetooth GPS but although it charges fine the GPS won't work at the same time as I am charging, which it will do with a PC USB lead or even the Motorola charger.
I would try and get a charger that puts out 1000mA. (1A)

Yes, very much agree with that. Non official chargers are OK as a stop gap until you get the correct 5v, 1000mA one. Some quirky things can happen using lower power ones. (the mini usb connector is wired slightly differently and this can have some odd - but not usually damaging effects).

Phone stops charging

My S4 has developed a problem where it seems to stop charging overnight, leaving me with a low battery in the morning. When I plug it into the charger the red light comes on, but when I return in the morning it has stopped charging and the battery has lost 20% of its charge.
A different USB cable, plugged into the same charger, seems to be charging it for now. Does this mean that the original cable is faulty, or do I need to get the USB connector on the phone checked out?

Maybe there is overheating problem so phone stops charging process. Try to start charging and observe it. When it stops charging again, check if it is hot.

First make sure that phone is placed on clean, flat surface with good air flow. Worst case is placing it on bed, blanket or pillow - it will overheat for sure.
Undervolting will not help a lot, as it only affect CPU/GPU heating, while they are usually idling during charging. Main source of heat in that situation is not a CPU/GPU but charging itself.
If you have really high room temperature, and you can do nothing about it, than you can slow down charging process, so it will decrease charging heating. Just use regular USB port (computer or generic USB charger) instead dedicated Samsung S4 charger. Charging current will be decreased from 1.9A to 500mA.
If you want to have more control over charging and temperatures you could install Battery Monitor Widget Pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw.pro). See example of data which you can got with on wireless charging thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43224425&postcount=1018
My battery temperature goes up to 35C during charging (wireless charging).
The theory re. heat is interesting, but doesn't seem to explain why switching USB cables fixed the problem immediately in this case. Is the S4 particularly sensitive to the fit of the USB cable in the socket??

No, S4 is not particularly sensitive to the fit of the USB cable in the socket.
Keep in mind, that max charging current on S4 is based on detection routine which tries to figure it out what is phone connected to (is it regular USB port specified for up to 500mA or dedicated 2 amps charger). It is necessary to accomplish down compatibility with generic USB hosts (you can connect S4 to every USB device) and fast charging feature (less then 2h charging time).
So, you can say, that S4 is sensitive to USB cable/device type. Switching from dedicated cable/charger to 3rd party, could decrease charging current and generated heat.
I hope, this theory explains all your doubts

Thanks for the explanation - it certainly does help. It looks as if the flaw may be with the detection routine, which was preventing it from charging when connected to the stock charger/stock cable, but was happy to allow it when using a different cable with the stock charger.
It also explains another anomaly - when using the S4 as a Sat Nav in the car with a TomTom High-Speed multi charger the phone will only charge if the screen is turned off. With the screen on it actually loses charge.
Is there any way to "hack" this logic to eradicate these anomalies and ensure that the phone charges when you want it to? Or could it be that there is actually a fault with my phone that needs to be checked out?
I suspect this may not be normal...I've just plugged the phone into the stock charger/cable. The phone/battery are not remotely warm, but the phone isn't charging, even though the battery icon in the notification bar says that it is (there's a lightning bolt in the battery icon but it just lost 1% charge in 2 mins with the screen turned off).
The LED went red when I first plugged it in, but the red light went out after a minute, although the lightning bolt remained in the battery icon in the notification bar.

At this point it sounds like you have a defective battery/phone Anyway, here's a sample test you can try:
Get this app: Galaxy Charging Current Lite
With the stock charger/cable you should be seeing (remember to keep refreshing):
- Not charging - -
- Screen on - 1200 mA
- Screen off - 1900 mA
(yes, there's a difference in the charging current depending on whether the screen is off or on)
Plugged to a standard USB port: 460 mA
Plugged to a car charger - depends on the output of the charger - most car chargers are 1A these days
Try with different cables plugged into a PC USB port - you should be getting a constant 460 mA charge. If it stops as described and you tried a few cable it's likely the battery/phone. HTH

Thanks. The Galaxy Charging Current Lite app shows:
- Connected to stock charger, screen on, with stock battery: a steady 340
- Connected to stock charger, screen off, with stock battery: 380
- Connected to PC USB port, with stock battery: 460
- Connected to car charger, with stock battery: 500
- Connected to stock charger, screen on, with 3rd party battery: a steady 300
Can I assume from the above that the phone is faulty?

I just tried a few different USB cables with the stock charger - these gave me interesting results:
- Cable 1 : 1200
- Cable 2: 1200
- Cable 3: 420
So maybe it's the stock cable that's the problem?

Actually it looks like more of a problem with your stock charger (as you're getting normal charge from a USB port)!
- Are you using the same cable with your stock charger, when connected to the PC USB port and your car charger? Try a different cable in all this scenarios to rule out the cable as a factor.
- What I'd recommend is to find another stock charger - go to a Samsung shop / service center - ask to test on site and see what input your phone is getting. You may test with any other mains charger but as you need to be sure of the power it delivers I'd test with an official Samsung 2A charger. If you don't get 1200/1900 with another official charger (and a working cable) then it's an issue with the phone/battery.
Re your car charger. It's possible that your car charger is 500 ma only (check the writing) if it's 0.5 A you need a new one (get a 2A one). Is it a real 12V cigarette charger or are you plugging the cable in a USB port on your car?

There you go I fried two old cables already so not all of them can sustain the 2A charge. Use Cable 1 or 2. Make sure it also charges at 1900 ma - plug it in, open the app, refresh so that it shows 1200 ma. Turn the screen off. Give it 5 seconds (red led should turn on). Turn the screen back on. immediately refresh - you should see 1900.
I'm getting 1200/1900 from the stock charger if I use "Cable 1" or "Cable 2" as referred to above, so I guess that indicates that the charger is OK? (the stock cable only gives 300 from the same charger)
I'm surprised that I can only get 500 from the car charger using Cable 1/2, as it is advertised as having a 2amp port. In fact I get a higher charge rate (740) using the "slower" port on the TomTom charger - i.e. the port labelled "high-speed" actually delivers less current.
???
Yes cable 3 has gone bad. You should be good with the others.
Re the car charger - is 500 all you get with cable 1 or 2? Is the charger rated 2A for Android phones? Note that some high current chargers are high current only for Apple products and default to much lower output with non Apple products. It can also be a bad charger.- I had a defective 2A Anker car charger which wouldn't charge above 760. I RMAed it and the replacement works as intended.

I can get 1200 from the car charger with Cable 1. It's rated at 2A for TomTom devices.
Now this is bizzarre...I just took delivery of a brand new Nexus 10 and immediately tried the charger and cable from that with the Galaxy S4 - I only got 300ma. Can this really be coincidence??
Yes, weird. What about the the other way around - not sure whether the app will work on the Nexus but you can try. Try the S4 charger and cable with the Nexus.

The Galaxy Charging Current App doesn't work on the Nexus 10 for some reason - it doesn't respond to a charger being connected to it
Can Samsung really be shipping dodgy cables on a mass scale?

If you get the same low charge rate with the Nexus charger/cable I'd take it to Samsung and show them the charge rate you're getting. Even if it works with another cable something is definitely not right - let them figure it out.

Experiences with Qi wireless charging receivers?

Does anyone else have any experience with Qi wireless charging receivers for the S4? I bought one from eBay at the end of last year (item no
151128038769), and it was fine for the first few months, but now it doesn't seem to charge the phone at all. I get a popup message when the phone is placed on the correct part of the charging mat (although this message doesn't always pop up as reliably as it used to), and the charge indicator displays in the notification bar, but if I return to the phone half an hour later it has actually lost charge.
I've tried this with two different charging pads, from two different manufacturers, and neither charges the phone, even though the phone gives the impression that it is being charged when I first place it on the mat. Charging using a cable still works fine.
I was wondering whether others had experiences of wireless charging?
Update: I just checked the charge status with the Galaxy Charging Current Lite app. When the phone is on the pad the charging current shows as 640mA (which should be enough to charge?), but the phone is actually losing 1% of its charge every few minutes.
???
are you using an adapter cover or a connector for the qi charging?, maybe they're not aligned well
also,i just checked and i get 460mA via simple usb/PC charging. and it's still charging. (really slow, but charging.)

I'm using a receiver insert. It sits on top of the battery, and has a flap which covers the charging terminals higher up the phone. I'm more than happy with 640mA as I usually charge it overnight. I just don't understand why it's losing charge instead of charging.
if it's charging with 640mA, but still your phone is discharging, then maybe your phone is draining the battery.
try to close everything, such as wifi, GPS, mobile data etc. and then check if it's still not charging.
also, you can try changing to a a different receiver, if you have one
btw, what about normal charging? does it charge normally?

Yes it seems that there's something that's draining the battery faster than the Qi pad can charge it. I've tried a reboot but it made no difference.
"Normal" charging using a USB cable is fine (and quick). I've just set up the Better Battery Stats app to see what's causing the drain while it's on the charging pad.
I don't have another charging receiver to try (only another charging pad, which exhibits the same behaviour)

wireless charging

hi
could anyone recommend a wireless charger suitable for yota phone 2 which can be purchased in uk
never bought one before but guessing that there must be a specific output mA/h and frequency ?? that must be compatible??..
seen lots on ebay suitable for galaxy and iphones but dont know if compatible
thanks for any help - (nothing on yota site to buy)
I've bought a Qi charger like this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wireless-Charger-Google-Samsung-BC252R/dp/B00FEAH0WW/
I use it mostly to recharge my Moto 360 smartwatch, but I've used it with the Yotaphone 2 as well, it seems to work fine.
The nice thing is that it's really compact, although it may not be what you're looking for.
I think that basically any Qi charger should work fine, I'm not aware of any frequency/voltage/output issue when using Qi chargers, although those sold online usually claim compatibility with a specific set of devices.
Nice
I can confirm that the Qi charger works well, the Yotaphone does automatically predict that the phone will be charged in a ridiculous amount of time, like 4x as fast as using a high current cable charger, but it does seem to be the fastest way of charging the device. My charger was from eBay and didn't cost a lot about GBP7.
Is there no official wireless charger?
Sent from my YD201 using Tapatalk
There's the official wireless charger sold by Yotaphone on their website, but it doubles as a portable USB/Qi battery charger, so it's definitely bulkier than most Qi chargers found on the net. It does work as expected, though...
I've been using this for some time now, but I rarely use the Qi function (I often use my phone while charging it, which requires the USB cable unless you can tap the phone's screen without moving the phone on the Qi pad, which I consider on the slippery side).
Also, the bulk/energy capacity of the official battery isn't the most impressive I've seen, wchich is to be expected since they had to fit the Qi electronics on top the battery cell under the cover.
Overall, still a useful & stylish piece of hardware, though...
I bought a Wireless Charger from Samsung and had the same problems which some of you described. The Phone started charging and then stopped with a blinking charger after 20 Seconds.
My solution was: Since this was a QI Charger with an output of 2A, i made the error of using a USB Charger with output of 1,5A. I switched the usb-charger and used one with an output of 2A and connected it to the QI Base.
And now it works. So my suggestion: Use a Charger with 2A.
My very cheap Chinese wireless charger is now working well after I gave up on it for not charging. As in other cases, the yotaphone has a mind of its own and takes a few days to change.
I bought Spigen Wireless charger from Amazon UK. Though Yotaphone detects and charges, I see the below issues
1. The charging time from ZERO to 90 takes around 3 hours. The remaining 10 percent takes ages (more than an hour)
2. When the phone is charging and if the screen turns OFF, the charging stops which makes the screen turns ON with LOCK Screen. Again the charging starts and this cycle continues. I had to use an app called Snoozy Charger which minimizes this issue (by turning the screen OFF when charging is detected)
But, one good thing I noticed with this ultra slow charging: The battery life looks much better. For example, I had a screen time of 45 minutes before the charge dropped from 90 to 87.
If somebody need original Yota mobile charger, I can order it from Yota directly.
Well, since the thread has already been necromanced:
I understand fairly little about wireless charging but am I right to assume that all wireless chargers require the phone to lie on it on its back? Or is that due to my charger being too weak or cheap or whatever? I would love to charge the phone wirelessly with the epd being visible because, after all, that side has all my notifications and the time and what have you.

works great on my YotaPhone 2

But does it work while the phone is lying on it's front screen? So that the EPD is visible while charging?
There is definately variations between chargers. A cheap ebay charger that I have does not work with some cases on my other phone with Qi charging. But a more robust three coil Nokia wireless charger works perfectly with it. Unfortunately my Nokia wireless charger does not work with YotaPhone face down... the charging light on the charger keeps blinking so it is close to charging but not enough. Some a little more powerful charger would be able to do it I think. Unless the desing of Qi only works on one side of the phone.

Great it works on an single pad ! But I wanted to use it mobile..like in my car or motorcycle.
Sadly i know now it doesn't use an usb kind of charger but an 19 volt (??) adapter.

The only trick is to supply min required amperage for the charger requirements. You can find exact output values on the wireless charger. General manner: input amperage must be near/high as far as the ouput amperage. My Chinese cheap wireless charger output is 5V and 1.5A. And i can use it with 5v 1.2A AC charger problem-free.
Update:
i discovered that the cable is also an issue for the reason. If you connect a normal power support only cable to the Qi charger, you will probably be faced the problem. But if you connect a Data cable, you can use your PC's usb with your Qi charger. I can use it now like the way.
How can I disable display wake-up and stay-on, if QI-charging? (Android 6)

Charging cable

Hi all,
Have a couple of the dash chargers but only one cable, I've got a tonne of other USB C cables, but anything but the dash cable will only charge slowly, not even normal charging?
Can buy more but seems like a waste.
Is there any risk to using the non dash cables.
Is there a way to force dash charge?
No guesses please, if someone actually knows about this stuff I'd like to hear from you.
Thanks.

My phone still charges normally on a third party USB C cable. There is no risk of damage with normal USB C cables, but I'd go with well reviewed cables and not just any third party solution.
No, you can't force dash charge. Only the provided cable dash charges.

Just odd that it always says charging slowly. Even when it's just the cable that's been changed.. Bit crap.
Kernels used to be able to allow quicker charging over USB, might be possible to get more out of the standard non dash cables.

Unfortunately, the USB C on this phone doesn't support USB PD (Power Delivery), so it won't charge faster on the normal cable. I find that strange, since the 2 year old Nexus 5X and 6P had USB PD.
I use a non oneplus usb c charger at bed time and it charges at normal speed since launch and I have had no problems. The only thing that makes it show up charging slowly is if I plug it into my computer. From what I recall the Dash Charge cables have extra pins in them at normal usb to C cables do not.

Hi all,
Have a couple of the dash chargers but only one cable, I've got a tonne of other USB C cables, but anything but the dash cable will only charge slowly, not even normal charging?
Can buy more but seems like a waste.
Is there any risk to using the non dash cables.
Is there a way to force dash charge?
No guesses please, if someone actually knows about this stuff I'd like to hear from you.
Thanks.

Apple Mac chargers x2 of them charge slowly, HP elite X2, few others, namely slightly aged Samsung ones, can't think of any that charge normally, different cables.
Even the original dash charger with a different cable charges slowly.
