[Nexus 5 Accessories] CNLiberal:
My Nexus 5 should be arriving early this week. I'm just beginning to educate myself on Qi standard wireless chargers. My intended use will be on my night stand. I've been reading some people warning against using a wireless charger over night as it can over heat the phone. Has this been anyone's experience with the Nexus 5 or any other device? Whats the groups recommendation? I really would like a pad with little to no lights and that comes with microUSB and an AC adapter. Thanks for the help!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] expiredd:
I'm also interested to buy this Qi charger from EU if I can get confirmed it works with Nexus 7 also.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] CDeviant:
With my Nexus 4 the phone does get much hotter during charge than when using a cable.

The Nexus 4 does do a trickle charge, so it's hottest around 60-70% then gets cooler. By the time it's 100% it's generally cool to the touch, when I use it in the morning it's still cool.

The inductive charger might only kick on once or twice during the night to top it off. If you have better standby time, like if you don't loose a single percent over night, then it wouldn't even kick back on.

I'm rolling the dice on this http://r.ebay.com/5XGyup. So in 10-30+ days I'll either have a $20 charger or a new micro usb cable and a coaster.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Surfy89:
Hey does it work properly with the Nexus 5? How long does it take to charge in full?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ehcool:

Qi + Power Bank

Think that the Lugulake is the right combo for what I am looking for Qi + Power bank(6000mah) but I dont like the looks. A little to bulky for my taste, being a portable item.

Like the look and size of the RAVpower, not sure if that 1200 mah difference is noticable but would rather have it in black.

Anyone have the RAVPower unit?

Anyone else able to find anything comparable?

Thanks

I picked up the LG WCP-700 Wireless Charger when I bought the Nexus 4 on launch day last year. It's worked flawlessly ever since and also charges my Asus Nexus 7 perfectly. I imagine it will continue to work great with the Nexus 5 as well. I highly recommend it.

Does anyone have experience with the Duracell Powermats? I'm having a hard time on their website confirming that they use Qi technology. Hate to assume and end up with something proprietary.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] daLareid:
Thanks for sharing this makes for a wireless charger that's worth it, I mean compared to the likes of that TYLT VU, no offense to anybody who's bought it or likes it but why would I want to buy a wireless charger that's supposed to be plugged in to the ac while the phone is charging? basically the only thing I'm saving is a bit of time of plugging and unplugging the cable from the phone, so to me it's pretty much senseless unless I'm wrong?

The LugaLake on the other hand I can charge it up and take it with me, so that I can charge it wireless when I don't have access to an ac.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] balla786:
Looks like it doesn't use the Qi standard, so don't think it's compatible.

Chargers that prop up the phone are nice on a desk, like the nexus 4 orb, tylt vu, nokia dt-910. You can enable daydream mode to come up whenever on the charger, and then you have an always on display with information/updates or just pictures displaying in front of you.

It's not a must have, but a nice add-on.

My only issue with wireless charging is that you cannot use the phone up to your ear when charging, you'd have to rely on speaker phone or headset.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] shdw03:
my point exactly, but I would buy a static one for home. I have a couple phones that the usb ports are all jacked and think that this would prolong the life of the port. Other than that, not much use other than the cool factor..... but nothing is wrong with that.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] s_special:
I haven't even gotten my N5 in the mail yet but I already ordered 3 wireless Chargers. One of which is the lugulake which arrived less the same 24 hrs after purchase through amazon. (very impressed so far)

This will be my first phone ever without a removable Battery. :(

I really don't understand why nexus phones don't have removable batteries.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
Duracell doesn't use Qi, but Energizer does. I have the 3 position charger and LOVE it!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] adamsweeting:
Surfy89 - It seems to work well. I charged my N5 on it last night. Dunno how long it takes to fully charge, as I was asleep.

Oh, and the N5 doesn't move around like the N4!

Hey guys, I'm looking for a wireless charger than can charge my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 simultaneously. Is there any such device out there? I haven't been able to find one yet. :crying:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Mojobaggins:
Don't know if it's available internationally but I got the LG WCP-300 Wireless Charging Pad for $40 from a Verizon store and use it with for my N4. It's nice and small too.

Get my N5 tomorrow.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Watcher07:
You can try this, but it might be a tight fit with the 5 and 7 simultaneously. Still, should work.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] donky kong 017:
i heard from a charger where placing is not important and it can charge 5 devices at the same time. as i was lazy enough not to save it to my bookmarks i have no idea what it was. is think it was just in the making, but probably something to wait for.

maybe someone can guide me in the right direction.

thx
[Nexus 5 Accessories] daLareid:
Yes, I do get that, I guess it's just like you said a nice add on but not a must. Main reason the LugaLake would be ideal for me is sometimes what I find most troublesome is finding myself in the need of unplugging the charger when I go out, then plugging it back in when I get back home it is a bit annoying, so with the LugaLake I can just leave the charger plugged in at home and take the LugaLake with me.

Indeed! yes, this will definitely come in handy, bought a Luga now and no more charger plug & unplug annoyances :P
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Oriano:
Hey! I watch a lot of your videos, nice to see you on the forum, After watching your video in this item a few weeks ago i kept an eye out for it on amazon uk, mine arrived last week. Superb bit of kit, recommended,

Anyone tried the Nokia DT-910 stand wireless charger?

Why can't u use your 120 volt phone charger to charge the LuguLake 6000mAh Qi?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gsrrr:
I read in another thread that the LG WCP-700 stop charging the phone automatically when it gets to 100% (to prevent overcharging/overheating). And then starts up again after it drops down to a certain percentage.

Is that a feature specific to the LG or do other/all charging work this way? Or is that something built into the battery circuit/phone?

I've been looking into picking one up and the Nokia DT-900 from AT&T looks like a great deal at ~$25.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Rusty!:
They all do that.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nicao:
I came across one on ebay that would have a 10.000mah power bank included and was able to charge on the go. Maybe that's of interest for you
[Nexus 5 Accessories] donky kong 017:
can anyone confirm if the n5 has magnets to keep it in place on some chargers?

has someone tested it with the n4 charger?

im looking for good chargers and if its has the magnetic feature im going to get one of these.

also does someone know if the new n5 wireless charger has magnets?

thx
[Nexus 5 Accessories] welsh113:
Yes I just got it this morning.... So far so good and I am hook glad I got it as seems perfect for bed side
[Nexus 5 Accessories] trent25:
Does the Nokia DT-900 in the US (the ones available at the AT&T retail stores) come with a 110V-240V AC adapter.

Because it doesn't use a standard micro USB connector for international travel.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gsrrr:
Those 4 circles sure do look like magnets but I'm not 100% sure.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] emoibm:
I'm really looking for this answer !! any n5 owners!?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dwaltuberalles:
FWIW: There is a wireless charger in development which uses magnets to hold the phone to the charger. Synergy charger by a start up called Cell Innovations LLC. I don't know much about it but it was discussed on xda somewhere in the N4 forum.

I saw it on amazon listed for preorder, I can't post the link but search for Synergy Wireless charger and it will show up.

It uses rare earth magnets to hold the phone and Qi based charging. It looks to be for home and car installation.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Watcher07:
Yes, they are definitely magnets. Before the N5 was released there were similar pictures taken of the internals and it was confirmed they were magnets. We can safely assume they are to help with the official nexus qi charger.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 2.0t03speed:
Are you sure they are magnets? Everyone though palm had magnets in the back cover when they were really just metal discs. I suspect the same is the case here. Because nothing has jumped out and attached it self to the back of my n5 yet. The magnets should be located in the base of the qi charger.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Watcher07:
Actually, you're correct, my apologies. The discs are there to hold it to the magnets in the charger. I took another look at the original place I found that info and hadn't read closely enough.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] donky kong 017:
sounds good.

but no one has a n4 charger? or the one from the palm. i think that one also has magnets.

pretty curious about that.

thx
[Nexus 5 Accessories] desairs:
Well we do know that the new charger Google is going to release does definitely have magnets so we can only assume the Nexus has the capability to use them.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] c0rnelone:
I wanted to buy a TYLT Wcharger but they dont have the option to ship to spain :(

I found that they have a dealer here but the dealer's web page its a f****ing ****. I refuse to buy from there.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mlopes1988:
I got the Lugulake. My Nexus comes in tomorrow so I don't know what the wireless charging is like but the USB charging works pretty good. It is a little big but its not too bad. It's small enough where can just toss in a bag just in case you need it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ms0chez:
I can't decide between getting the tylt charger and waiting for the original.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kellybrf:
that looks very promising, but it appears in their pictures that the wire is run up under the headliner in the car. there are no pictures or descriptions that show where the power is coming from, which is odd. is assume just a cigarette adapter but the pictures tell a different story
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Dirk:
I just received one of these:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DAFR5ZA/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Build quality is good. Green LED is lit when plugged in and changes to Blue when actively charging. It's about the same size as the Nexus 5 and doesn't seem too fussy about positioning. As soon as i place the phone on it starts charging as expected.

I will still be buying a Kidigi Dock when they are released as i want my phone standing on my desk while it's charging, but this will do perfectly for now.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] monkfish_lad:
Anyone got any recommendations for a wireless charger (available in the UK) that doesn't have any sort of charging LED and make any sort of noise when the phone is placed or fully charged?

I previously ordered on from Amazon which does both of these and my wife was not best pleased....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Rusty!:
My Maxell charger has a blue LED that is roughly on par with the sun... I fixed that with a small piece of insulating tape :D

No aural indicators though.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] nandowong:
has anyone tried taking apart one of the cheap chargers and putting the coil + electronics inside the Palm Pre charger dock? I'd be nice to have that form factor instead of flat and the magnets are a big big plus.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] donky kong 017:
Thx this looks pretty cool. I saw that the kickstarter was not funded but it is on amazon though. What i think is cool is that nfc is built in so you can set scenarios.

Having heard of that i think I will get 2 wireless charging pads. I'm going to get an agent smart watch which is wireless charging compatible. What i wanted from begin on was a charging pad for more than one device. Ideally with positioning where you want it. I heard that some charges require the device to be positioned exactly aligned to the charger. The only ways to get around that are magnets or possibility of free positioning.

Edit:

Finally I found it again

Sorry if this has been answered in the past, but can you charge two devices at the same time without plugging one in? Would I be able yo lay my N7 and N5 on the pad and charge them both wirelessly?

Car wireless charger?

Question for everyone?

So I just bought 2 N5's and one is for my mother in law that is a trucker and she needs the phone to be on her dash at all times mostly. Any suggestions for a good car wireless charger? I've looked around and just can't really decide so i'm hoping someone might have some actual use with one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] donky kong 017:
Depends on the charger. Most of them are single chargers, then there are dual chargers and on the wow5 you can charge 5 devices at once

Car Qi charger/holder. A mini review

I really like the idea of convenient wireless charging on the road. I looked at a bunch of car Qi chargers and decided to try this one from Amazon http://amzn.com/B00F9H1HZ6 It is currently out of stock, but has gone out, in, and back out of stock since I ordered it last weekend. It sells for $59.99 (qualifies for Amazon Prime shipping). A few other companies looked to be selling the exact same product under different names.

Here is what came in the manila envelope. The smaller box on top looks to be a Qi receiver for use in a Galaxy S4.

Here is the hardware from the main box.

I am a big fan of vent mounts and saw that this charger comes with both suction cup mounting and vent mounting. The included vent mount didn't work out for my vehicle so I wound up combining the main holder/Qi charger with an old Griffin vent clip that I like and works well with my truck.

The side clamps give more than enough room for a N5 (and case). The bottom "ledge" is adjustable also so you can set the height of the phone so your Qi charging coils line up well. The provided cigarette/USB adapter is rated for 2.1A. I pulled 2A off of it with an electronic load and the voltage was well regulated. With my N5 on the charger, the input current to the charger was about 1.1A which was promising for a fairly quick charge. My practical test was putting the N5 (with 30% charge) on the charger for one hour. The percent charge went from 30% to 61% (a rise of 31%) over the hour. I will add that info to the Qi charger survey once I see what it does at full charge.

I plugged the cigarette/USB adapter into one of my lower power ports and then routed the USB cable under under the plastic cowling, up behind the radio, and poked it out the vent near the mount. It makes for a clean install as you don't have to have a cable floating around always or going up along the front of your radio to the vent mount of a traditional car holder.

Good:

fairly position insensitive

adjusts for both width and height

slow release side arms

charges fairly fast

no USB cables in the way any more

Blue LED on left clamp to let you know the phone is charging.

Bad:

USB cable plugs into the top of the holder (sticks up a bit above the rest of the charger.... see picture)

included USB cable developed a loose connection after I bent the cable in a "U" shape where it plugs in so it didn't stick up very far.

vent mount didn't work for my setup, but that is the nature of vent mounts

[Nexus 5 Accessories] *child:
Does anyone know which Qi wireless charger has the longest transmission distance?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Robdyx:
It is more related to electromagnetic properties of the air, you would need more power to increase that distance. Anyway, all are about 0-10 mm, no no space for improvement here. The more you separate them, the less effective the charge will be.

Also, has anyone tried this one?

Is it better than the LuguLake? Turns itself off at full charge? Is more efficient?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] undercover:
Thanks for informative post. Any updates on performance under load?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zoglog:
Thanks for posting that. Looks like a bulky solution. I'm just waiting for someone to make a nice Qi mount. Hopefully the iottie guys will do it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nexus V:
Hello,

Back when I was researching Qi charging many months ago, I had thought about why iOttie had not come up with a car mounting solution yet. I currently have their One Touch XL model and it's held up great after over a year on my dashboard. After seeing your post, it reminded me to check up on any progress and surprise, they announced they will be releasing one in 2014.

The announcement came 2 days ago and looks like it flew under the radar (I didn't search the rest of the xda forums so perhaps another member has already posted this in other phone's boards).

iottie.com/About/Press.aspx (copy and paste link, as a new member I can't post URLs yet)

A full spec sheet can be found at iottie.com/Download/EasyFlexWireless.pdf

I will be holding off on investing in a Qi car charger mount until iOttie releases their's, but I am very tempted to try the one that mtucker reviewed a few posts above. They are going for $38 right now on DealExtreme. I'm hoping the iOttie one will be competitively priced when it is released next year.

New member here- this is my first post and I wanted to say Hi to all my fellow N5 owners. I actually signed up just to post this info because I was pleasantly surprised by the news. I hope you are all enjoying your Nexuses and look forward to being a part of the community.

After reading through all these I have to wonder why Google didn't stick with the pins for charging. Is faster and cheaper. I guess you can argue that you can keep using your charger with other phones but people are so freaked out the chargers are "overcharging" that they will probably by a new one for every phone because the same issues with persist.
