[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] decepticon:
The real benefit is convenience, I can sit my phone, tablet, whatever down and charge it. When I walk away just grab it.

Also I have worn out a USB port or 2 in my life so this eliminates that issue all together.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] gksmithlcw:
I haven't used wireless charging but just being able to sit your device down and have it charge without docking or plugging in definitely seems convenient. It's not quite convenient enough for me to care at this point though. ;)

The Touchstone is NOT Qi-compliant as far as I know.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] kisrita:
I wouldn't trust that seller to sell what they advertise. They sold me fake Samsung covers that were not even close to the original, and used the same bait and switch on two other forum members I am aware of. Luckily PayPal stepped in and got me my money back. The seller never even responded to my email.

The Vu coil is not a specific to a certain spot, the whole (well almost) of the backing is a coil.

I'm pretty sure it'll work but lets just see what Tylt says.

It does look nice though!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] potatoboyjs:
It that's the case, I will probably pick one up. Having the angle would make the N7 perfect on a nightstand as a clock and for watching videos, then you can just grab and go.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] doomsjay:
Anyone have any success mounting these things beneath the surface of an end table? Do you have to be dead on to get it to charge?

I have an end table from IKEA which is about 3/4" thick on the top surface, I'd love to just place my new Nexus 7 on top of the table without seeing the presence of a charging base or any cables. Also, how well do the multi-device Qi pads work?

No worries!

Well obviously if you want to do what was done in the video then the DT900 is the obvious choice I suppose.

But for me personally, I'm waiting for the Tylt Vu to be back in stock. :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Knolly:
I really want to do the built-into-table mod for a Qi charger with this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051R4ECM/

It doesn't require you to really put the device in a "sweet spot" so it seems ideal for a hidden installation.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Melarsa:
Nah, it would just be nice to test it on a piece of cheap furniture before I ruined my nice nightstand ;D I'd also probably end up using power tools instead of hand-chiseling for a cleaner finish. But I'm pleasantly surprised at how simple the mod is. For some reason I didn't think the wireless chargers could charge with even a thin amount of wood between the phone and the charging pad. Thanks for sharing the vid!

I've never used a Wireless charger before, do they charge as fast as normal chargers? or slightly slower? or would it take a whole night for a good charge?

Nexus 4 Orb charger

http://dx-box.com/nexus-wireless-charger-adapter-pad-for-lg-google-nexus-4-e960.html

Credit goes to kist32 for posting this in the Nexus 4 thread.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] doomsjay:
From what I've read, the Panasonic doesn't allow for trickle charging, so once your tablet or phone is fully charged, it just stops charging altogether. This might be a problem if you charge your device overnight, where once its charged half way through the night, you'll wake up to a device with a battery partially depleted.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] betterthancrimzon:
I haven't been able to get these two too work. My HTC DNA charges just fine on it. Do you think it is a positioning issue, or as others have said in other threads, a contact issue inside the case? How did you position yours to get it to work? Did it 'beep' immediately, or does it take a couple seconds?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Knolly:
I know what you're talking about, thanks for the heads up though. From what I've read it starts charging again around 95% or so. For me it's not a huge deal. I'll still keep the charging orb for my phone but I think the Panasonic charger for the tablet seems like an ideal solution.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sn0warmy:
The charger works great with my N7. I tried it when i took the N7 out of the box and at the end of the night, when the tablet was just about dead, I put it on the charger and it did the job just fine. Light turned green when it was fully charged and woke up this morning to a 100% full battery.

In fact, I noticed that I don't need to be nearly as precise when putting the N7 on the charger as I do with the N4. With the N7 you can just kinda throw it on the charger and it works. With the N4 you have to place it almost perfectly, which takes 1-2 tries on average.

What is the best angled/standing wireless charger that is reasonable in price and looks?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] kcchen:
Here are two that I know of, you'll have to judge for yourself as to what looks best:

Nexus Orb:

https://play.google.com/store/devic...ess_Charger?id=nexus_4_wireless_charger&hl=en

Nokia DT-910:

http://www.nokia.com/global/products/accessory/dt-910/

The thread should have user reviews of each.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] oddbin:
Did it arrive? If so does it work?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] RojasTKD:
AT&T has the Nokia DT-910 on sale for $51.75 + tax. Best price I've seen on this QI charging stand.

I just have a guard time spending $50+ for the DT-910 (stand model) when I can get the DT-900 for half that.

The Tylt Vu is nice but it, but it's like $79 and hasn't been in stock for weeks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] oddbin:
It's quite hard to find a good nexus 4 and 7 charger in the UK I must admit. I think as much as I want the orb or the dt910, £79 and £45, respectively, are too much. I'm thinking a charging plate is my best option.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] player911:
Yea I got the Samsung S4 charger 50% off for $25 and TBH that is still a little expensive for just a charger. I just don't understand why these are so expensive.

Eventually I plan on taking the S4 and somehow making a little dock for the Nexus. Just something that I can just throw it on and keeps the Qi charger and N7 perfectly aligned. Right now it only works if I lay the N7 on top of it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] watzone69:
It took awhile (coming from china) but yes, it arrived and works fine. I bought a moko ultra slim case from Amazon and it charges through that as well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] just_visiting:
I bought myself a Panasonic one because it's the coolest one on the market. Takes about 2 weeks to get from Japan and I'll see how it performs before I buy another one for my desk. If the SG Note III comes with wireless charging then I might get the Maxell dual charging unit for my bedside so I can charge both my N7 and the Note III.

Now I need to find a mobile solution.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] azelaya:
I have the nexus orb that a friend gave me (mostly because i want to charge my s4 wirelessly) and it works fine with the N7. Thats about the only pro with the charger lol the cons are its too small for the N7, its angled for just a phone, and it doesnt charge through the poetic slimbook case. I think im gonna bite the bullet and get the nokia 900 at AT&T (someone said they price match at the store if you show them the online price).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] SalTNutz:
I've tried many and I can confirm this is by far the best one.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0051R4ECM/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8

Especially if you have a phone with qi which have a much smaller target than the nexus 7. My 7 doesn't have much trouble with finding the sweet spot, but my gs4 sure does. With this charger, you don't even have to think, just set the device down and it will find the sweet spot for you.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Muikkuman:
Yes it works.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TheV:
Apparently this unit does not support trickle charging. It shuts off once the device is fully charged. From there the device will just discharge.

Is this information correct?

It looks like a really nice charger, but discharging would be a problem for me.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] RojasTKD:
I've read that once the device is fully charged it stops charging. I've also read that once the device drops down to 90% is well start charging again. So your device might not be at 100% when you take it off the charger, but at 90 something percent.

not sure which is correct or if there are updated model that charges after 90%. Either way I don't think it trickle charges. But I don't own one so can't say for sure.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] MZero:
I tried my orb charger. Could not find the sweet spot
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] RojasTKD:
This may be stupid to ask, but did you place it on the Orb with the N7 in horizontal position. I understand that's the only way it will work.

You didn't specify so I thought I'd mention it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sensboston:
Has anyone tried this charger?

It still not big enough to fit N7 but (at least) larger than other chargers (except expensive "triple" charger from Energizer).

However my goal isn't the size but charging spot location(s) and overall charging performance. I already received and tried this charger but will return it because of bad design and insufficient charging ability (can't charge my Nexus with the case cover turned back; my DT-900 do the job perfectly).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] SplicedX:
The X in the NEXUS is the center of the changing ring. I have the orb and it works flawlessly. With that being said, my wireless charging did stop working at one point. What I had to do was use my thumb nail to open the case and clean the contacts for the wireless charger. It appeared that there was some sort of manufacturing residue on the 4 gold contacts. A little 90% rubbing alcohol on a q tip and a microfiber cleaned it right up.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Claghorn:
I use a modified Moko case with my orb charger. Works much faster and more reliably than it did through the case, and there is no chance it will slip off:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Muikkuman:
The first charger looks nice.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] gavinfabl:
I use the Zens qi single wireless charging pad in white. Its not placement sensitive and works very well with the N7 and my N4.

They also do a double charging pad . Do not use this version just the single. The single pad looks sleek too.

Chwrges to 100% then turns off. When phone drops to 95% it starts charging again. Perfect.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] oddbin:
Yup and it works fine. You need to put the nexus 7 basically dead centre. The N4 needs. To line the top of the phone with the top of the device.

Performance is good. Slightly slower than a cable.

Keep in mind it's a cheap Chinese device so feels cheap and it uses small adapter plug not micro USB. Other than that it's good for the price.

---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

Question: will the not sticky back to the Poetic Slimline case make the N7 slip of the Nexus Orb/ Chinese Copy Orb?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] prulleman:
well, thought about this too, but then again I only loose 3% overnight (7% in 24 hours) when the device is not used.. so placing this before you go te sleep, letting it charge for 3-4 hours and then letting it discharge for max 4-5 hours will probably drop max 2%, which isn't enough for the trickle restart (@97%??)

So that will not be a dealbreaker for me (it would be for my phone though)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Xaltotun:
Any of the chargers on DX.com would be the 'Zens' charger ?

Here they are: http://dx.com/s/Qi?category=520

In Canada, Qi chargers are very hard to find ; so DX is pretty much the best way to get one...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sensboston:

Thanks! Free shipping too! On my way to buy!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] kcchen:
Orb has rubber silicone rings which is "tacky". Holds the N4's glass back well. May not work as well for N7's rubber back. Saw a add-on device on etsy which sits under the Orb to keep the N7 propped up.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] just_visiting:
I would never use any Chinese branded chargers. There's a chance it can blowup or destroy the OEM battery. I'd rather invest the money into a Nokia, Panasonic, Maxell, Samsung, and LG branded chargers. Also, I'd never use any aftermarket batteries too.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Xaltotun:
You know that all the brands you mentioned are in fact made in China? Probably even in the same factories as 'no name' or boutique brands? You know what OEM means?

You know that China manufactures most of the electronics in the world, both low-end and prestigious high-end and everything in between (*cough* *cough* your Nexus included)?

What kind of a stupid claim was that? If you can't offer facts about a model or brand that consistently fails and is indeed sub-par from a quality perspective, such blanket statements are completely useless and bring nothing forward...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] kisrita:
That looks like a charger I just bought from Amazon for $36, except mine is white. It was called N7. Seems to work well. I don't have to be careful in tablet placement. But I haven't used it much so can't comment on speed or noise. It chirps when you place the tablet on it that's all I know.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sensboston:
Hmm... Do you know how Qi charger works? Have you ever heard about "electrodynamic induction method"? ;) I recommend you to google first before write some nonsense...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] henklbr:
I'm using this one from Samsung: works perfectly!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] watzone69:
A quick update on this particular charger. It is a cheap knockoff of the nexus orb (which I just bought as well) and doesn't even say "Nexus" on the front. It has a charging light on the side (unlike the real nexus) and it is nowhere near as magnetic/sticky as the real one. Charging is much slower and almost nonexistent if you have a case on it (you have to find the EXACT sweet spot).

It's okay for the price but I would advise spending a few more $$ and getting the real thing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Claghorn:
Like this?

:).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] watzone69:
LOL! That made my morning!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] just_visiting:
I know they're all made in China. There are absolutely no 'quality control' with these Chinese brand. Also I am Chinese. This includes a lot of things I choose to buy. You'll never see me buying Chinese branded electronics too like tv, computer parts, etc... Same thing with clothing, only designer branded clothing. So bottom line is I only buy recognize brands for electronics. I'll consider Chinese branded only if the item does no harm.

Maybe blowup was a bad choice of word. Perhaps damage might be a better word.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] nolook:
I have this charger and think it's better than you describe it esp since it's half price compared to the official one...

the n7 will slip off but I just use something to kinda prop it up and battery is always 100% overnight... I was also impressed with the build quality compared to typical knock off stuff...

Sent from my Nexus 7 2
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] watzone69:
Don't get me wrong, I do think it's a great charger for the price. I just didn't want people to think it is the official nexus charger like I (in my own stupidity) did. I think my real complaint is that (like you said) it slips off of the charger easily, unless you have that nifty cut out that Claghorn posted ;) or props.

The point that is that my N7 sticks to the real one like a magnet, even with my case. If you're on a budget and don't care about fidgeting with your tablet to get it in the right spot so it charges and doesn't slip off then this is a great buy. I am usually half asleep when I put it on there and fidgeting with all that is the same as just plugging it in. I bought a wireless charger to slap it on there and snore!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sensboston:

I think you should check out with CHOE Qi Wireless Charging Pad for Nexus 4, Samsung Galaxy S4, Nokia Lumia920 and iPhone 5 Black in Color also listed on Amazon going for $24

Works with any Qi-enabled device through an adapter or an embedded chip

Power Source: AC Adaptor plugs into charging pad

Freedom of Placement: No annoying magnets to align or secret spots to find in order to charge your device. The wireless charging pad is Qi standard, you can charge any Qi-enabled device today, tomorrow and beyond. Light indicator to show charging status.

Its works well with my Nexus 4 smartphone.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Xaltotun:
Confirmed working flawlessly!

I bought one of these:

And I confirm it works flawlessly with my Nexus 7.2013, through a MoKo "2nd Gen Case - Ultra Slim Lightweight".

The charger has two lights that are so dim they are not an issue if you sleep next to it, I believe it was designed like that on purpose. Makes no sound, and I haven't heard a bip. Shipped in cheap brown cardboard box, but well protected (has shiny shiny black plastic finish). Manufacturing tolerances and finish are top notch for this price point.

For less than $20 shipped to Canada, it's a winner for sure!
