Buy in the US, charge in Europe

I'm looking to buy a WIFI Xoom in the US and want to know if the standard charger it comes with also will work with our 220 volt/50 hertz system? I understand the Xoom does not charge via USB and need assuranse I'll be able to charge it back home.

Has your charger got the 100-240V~50/60Hz electrical specification printed on it?

Just bought a Xoom in the satetes some days ago. You will be fine charging it in europe, checked it.

Someone posted a picture of the actual charger. Check here!

Works fine, I even have 2 of the chargers as i bought the dock station as well. They are multi voltage and work in the UK just fine all you need is a plug adapter.
Lordao

Thank you guys! Just what I needed to know. My Xoom is now ordered!

I ordered a WIFI only Xoom from B&H Photo and Video (www.bhphotovideo.com) on 27 March. Tracking shows i should get it today or tomorrow, can't wait!

Thanks Poisike, ordered a Xoom Wi-Fi there today too ... ;-)

If I hadn't already pre-ordered from Dixons I'd be placing my order too! Taking into account shipping and taxes though the price difference is negligable, even though I'd probably get it sooner if I ordered from the States.

No offense, but I don't think any electronic device manufactured in the past 15 years doesn't have a multi voltage charger. My laptops in 1997 were multi charger.
Besides, if you really want the device and you weren't 100% sure, you could always get a converter.

Bulk interest Philips Qi charger??

I'm sorry guys, just checked the stock again and almost all the stores in the country are empty now I suspect that some Dutch people who read this thread quickly got one themselves or something. A store which had 4 yesterday, now has 0 and normally these chargers never sell fast. I still have two reserved which I will offer to the people that first responded (will contact you soon).
Sorry again! I really hate that this happened but I couldn't go and bought some yesterday without knowing if people are interested and being stuck with them.
Admin plz lock this topic!
Hi all,
The Philip Qi charger just got discounted here in The Netherlands to €20, this one: http://www.philips.co.uk/c/-/-dlp7210b_10/prd/en/consumer
However, shipping to the US is normally very expensive (0 to 2kg = €19,95). But if I strip the chargers from their packaging and only send the charger/powersupply I can fit about 7 in the box which results in $32 (€23) total costs. I know another XDA user (dralways) who arranged the N4 and N10 for me I could ship the chargers to him so you could pick it up (stillwater, oklahoma) at his house or he could ship it from within the US.
This topic is to see if there is any interest as I know quality Qi chargers are very expensive in the US and I like to help you guys out.
You can have it for $32 (€23) but I always appreciate a small tip for my troubles ? I will test them all before shipping. Payment is through PayPal if we can gather enough people to proceed.
About the charger: it has a very good build quality and charges as quick as the normal USB charger. Output of the Qi charger is 1 A or 1000 ma compared to the 1.2 A or 1200 ma of the stock USB charger, so very close. Furthermore, one of the stronger Qi chargers I've seen. I don't have any troubles to get my phone to 100% (some chargers are reported to charge only to somewhere in the 90s). I will try to post some pictures tonight!
Let me know, if you are interested!
Rob
UPDATE:
I can probably fit one charger in a large padded envelope, shipping to the US would be €9,50 so if you prefer to have it send straight to your home we are talking about $40 (€29,50). For other countries, just contact me for a shipping price. The stock at the stores is very limited (I know someone who works at one of the stores and can check the stock of others) so I've to look, depending on demand, how much I'm able to get. If I can get interest in 7 devices total for bulk then that one has priority,
Users interested (need to have interest for 7 units total):
- Jrob2k (1)
- nateysmith (2 or 3)
- incognito2 (1)

I'm interested

@nateysmith it works wonderful here, haven't had any problems with it. Note that the charging output is 1 A (or 1000 ma) which is very close to the 1.2 A (1200 ma) of the USB charger. Most Qi chargers have a lower output.

What is the connection like from the mains to the charger? Is it something I might already have (MicroUSB? I can dream...) or would I need to find a mains adapter to use it in Canada?

The standard European one so you have to get a travel adapter or something or look here: www.dealextreme.com
I use that site alot, a US to Europe (so other way around) is only $1,50 incl. shipping

I'm interested for one but I live in Italy...

I'm also interested how fast it charges?

Hey. I live in Sweden but would love one aswell, can you estimate the total cost if shipped to me?

Mate count me in, this time ill also buy one.. whatsapp me :good::good:
Btw Rob, are you going to pick them up in the nearest store? Let me know.

Think you can fit two in one package? If so I'm interested in two, otherwise I'm definitely interested in one. Shipped to the US.

EDIT: Was too eager. Maybe later, broke right now

Please see OP! It will charge you phone in about the same amount of time as the stock USB charger.

Nope, I can fit one in a large envelope. 2 is always possible but then the shipping costs are €19.95. That is why I'm trying to get a bulk of 7 shipped to dralways in the US so let me know what you want.
I will try to buy as many chargers as I can get this week, so far I have 2 reserved in one store and 2 in another. There is a possibility that I can get 3 - 4 more available in another store, so stay tuned!

Would love to get 3 to germany. I send you a PM

n00b status, but PM sent. Thanks. :good:

Wireless charging on the Note3?

So do you think the Note3 will support wireless charging??

Yes it will Sammy already showed off the back and charging plate

It's got what appears to be five charging pins. Or some charging pins and some pins for something else. Some of the U.S. carriers hid the pins on the N2 in order to disable wireless charging so there's no way of knowing yet who will offer it and who won't.

presumably 2 pins for NFC and 3 for wireless charging

I just don't see the reason for hiding the wireless charging pins, its an accessory you can sell and make money on. Albeit an overpriced accessory that won't fit into standard batter cases but some folks like it.

Thanks guys... I hadn't seen pictures with the back cover off before. Hopefully Samsung will release official Qi flip cases this time

I would think you can get a better deal than that if you're buying those generic brand Chinese ones (which I'll be buying for my Note 2).
Qi pad itself isn't specific to the Note 3. They'll hike the price up when marketing it for the Note 3

The one you listed is a generic brand one.
Here are two more generic at 20AUD

And when the Note 3 comes out you should be able to get a receiver at around ~10$

I haven't bought mine for my Note 2 yet but I honestly don't see why they wouldn't work..
I know for sure though that they're no different than the $60 set you found.

But the real question is did Verizon muck up the wireless charging pins on the GN3 like they did on the GN2?

They mucked up the GN2 to sell more HTC DNAs (which has WC), VZN added WC to the LG2 so there is the possibility they might try something fishy but who knows. I suspect not since they are releasing the device pretty quick.

According to their site (Verizon), the Note 3 will not have wireless charging. Don't know if it says on the Note 3 page, but do a comparison with the Note 3 and G2 and there is an X on the wireless charging category while the G2 has a check.

Wireless charging on note 3
Fcc filings show there is wireless charging. But that only means it is available on the phone. Whether carriers do something to block that is a whole other story. Why they would want to do that is beyond me since that equates to more accessories being sold

Ta da!

20W Wireless Charger

Does anyone know where the new wireless 20 watt charger for Note 10+ (with US plug) can be bought from, or at least pre-ordered? It seems unlike the phone itself, it was announced but haven't been made available. Please post links if you've seen an online store that has it for sale.

That would be the one I'm asking about, thanks. It's actually a 20W wireless charger, not 15W. This phone arena link explains the reason it's listed at 15W only is because FCC is slow and lazy, and they don't even have a 20W certification process for wireless chargers, and they only moved from 5W to 15W last year, so they were able to certify the charger for 15W only. Also Roland Quandt, the guy who originally leaked this charger says he's personally witnessed this charger working at 20W charging rate.

best buy have them in stock already you can have it shipped
