Makes it so you can turn down the media vol and have a silent screenshot instead of. Click

Other than that idk..

So i forgot the usb was in mid process between chromecast and win32 disk imager.. used disk management and deleted the partition.. now stuck with a 20mb unallocated and 30.11gb unallocated...

cant create a new volume or format... any ideas?
[Google Chromecast] wptski:
You'll have to use Diskpart now and start from scratch again. Plenty of How To's on YouTube for that process.
[Google Chromecast] iandroo888:
weird my edit didnt go through

ive tried diskpart. it doesn't let me clean it nor format
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
You need to delete the partition via DISKPART. Be EXTREMELY careful to make sure you have the correct disk selected or you can easily wipe the wrong drive.

You could also use chkflsh to do a low-level format (right-click Run as Administrator in Win7) but it's arguable whether that's more or less straightforward/dangerous/confusing.

Another alternative is to boot off a gparted LiveCD. The GUI is a tad more obvious which disk is selected (usually it'll be sda, sdb, or usb-something).
[Google Chromecast] wptski:
I remember having a issue with Diskpart myself! I don't remember if a reboot or Run as Administrator for the Command Line solved the issue.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
If it still has a drive letter assigned, the drive letter may need to be removed via Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) or force-dismounted (chkdsk /X driveletter: should work, I feel like there's another command but I can't find it)
[Google Chromecast] iandroo888:
well what do you know.... a restart made it work >_> i had it running on admin already =X

LOL True story....

Chief Engineer of a major TV network replaces a Videotape machine that would not take a Videotape (Yes this story is years old LOL)

When the new machine refuses to accept a Video tape he opens up the machine looks at the mechanism and starts re-seating cards and tries again.

When that fails he goes to his office to get the Manual to see what could cause it...

While he is reading the Manual I plug the damn thing into the AC Outlet and Whalla it starts working!

Sometimes knowing all the things that can go wrong leaves little room in memory for checking the obvious! LOL

[Nexus 5 Accessories] FuMMoD:
Great review once again and definitely looking forward to getting one of those puck chargers. Right now I have a generic square one like your black one but in white.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Thanks.

The puck is a good charger (they all are really). You just need to learn the positioning of the phone a bit better than the other ones.

I do like that rubber ring though! I wish all of the other flat ones had them as well.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jooosty:
Wow, very precise and descriptive presentation.

I appreciate the time and effort to get us the results.

Now I'm just debating whether to buy a cheap Qi charger or the Lugalake which doubles as a powerbank...

(1st world problems..lol)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] MordyT:
Would you be willing to compare these chargers against a name brand one. You can grab a nokia dt900 for about $12.50 these days...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Well those are totally different markets haha. That Lugalake looks to be a beast though. If you do need a battery bank as well, and have a need to charge wireless/multiple devices on the go, it looks to be a nice piece of kit.

If you just need something at home or the office, I'd say save yourself some money and just get a cheap one.

I'd be willing to do that sure, but the Nokia dt900 isn't that cheap here in Canada. It's a minimum 2x - 3x the price, without shipping or taxes added. Way out of my bang for the buck range haha.

Also, the dt900 has a rated output of 750mA. That's 250mA less than all of the 1A output Qi chargers I reviewed above. Of course, I can't do a direct comparison without having a dt900 on hand; but from the rated output and the known efficiency of Qi chargers, the dt900 would most likely charge quite a bit slower.

1A output was pretty much the main point I was mentioning when choosing a Qi charger. Basically as long as you have that, the performance is relatively equal between all Qi chargers.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dehsA:
Thanks, [MENTION=3746653]mmmmBACON[/MENTION]! I already have two Nokia DT-900s and one rectangle with LEDs. All work great with my Nexus 5 but obviously the Nokia chargers cannot be beat in terms of build quality.

Do you happen to have a Nexus 4 you can use to test with these chargers?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] JCreazy:
Is it just me or is the Q8 a lot more expensive now?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] matteotom:
Which one has the smallest insides? I want to buy one to take apart and embed in something (probably my desk).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] unroot_:
The pcb is generally smaller than coil+shielding. As design A5/A11 (see qi-specification) is widely used the coil has a diameter of 43mm. the shielding has to be 5mm bigger in radius. You need 53mmx53mm at least.

back to topic:

i own the Q8 and the Rectangle with LED.

both work just the same.

Also, don't get fooled with more expensive offerings of those chargers. It is just the same charger on a higher price.

I've seen the Q8 for more than 30 bucks on amazon.

EDIT: it seems i have the rectangle charger without LEDs but with LEDs :D

I took it apart, so no pictures of my own. It is labeled as "LERWAY"
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dehsA:
Here it is for $15.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
No sorry, I don't have a Nexus 4.

Yeah that seller upped the price quite a bit. I've replaced it with a different seller (who has a better rating as well). It's currently $13.50.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fooznugget:
Great review. I have the puck charger and I didn't even realize that other chargers were more forgiving about the placement. It works fine for me and my Nexus 5, but my wife has a Nexus 4 that needs to be placed off center and it's very picky with that phone. The version I have has a loud annoying beep every time it starts charging which is my main complaint about this charger. Has anyone successfully taken one of these apart to disable the speaker? I've wanted to take it apart, but there's no obvious way to get it apart without possibly breaking open the housing.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] unicorn87:
Anyone found q8 charger on ebay or somewhere where pp is accepted...?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] recombinantevil:
I haven't seen them for that cheap since AT&T had a sale a few months back. Where are you seeing them for that price?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] deeevan:
You can just buy the barebone module. Although oddly enough, they can be cheaper in a case (a quick look on dealextreme shows up to $17.62).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Yeah, the puck charger can be a bit picky sometimes, which is what I wasn't the biggest fan of. It might just be the way the casing is that's causing it, who knows.

You can get into the puck charger pretty easily actually. If you peel off the rubber ring on the top, you will expose the screws that hold the housing together.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] matejdro:
How does that compare to non-cheap chargers? Are there any charging numbers on those?

Also how safe would be charging N5 constantly with this? I guess there are safety standards in place, but how obedient are those chinese manufacturers?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] yokuyuki:
I would love if you could test the charging distance of those as I'm trying to integrate a cheap wireless charger into my nightstand and wonder how much wood I can get away with having between the charger and the phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] donnieace:
I bought the tilted charger last night. I'm hoping it works better than the LG puck I gave to my father. Just hoping I can set the phone and forget about it. I always had to make sure my N4 was placed properly before walking away when I had the puck.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] buckwild1:
I've been waiting on mine since March 31st. Hope it comes soon. :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fedor12:
Are you sure? The 1st one on your list you said didn't have an led but the one i linked does
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Are you sure you linked the correct one? The pictures all appear to be like the first on the list.

What you will notice with the Rectangle w/LEDs Qi charger, is that other than the slight variation in size, the finish is glossy (vs matte on the first one on the list) and that the bottom of the charger will have a round grill (vs no bottom grill on the first one)

Here are a couple of comparison photos.

Left = 1st on list (no LEDs)

Right = 5th on list (LEDs)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] teamshao:
I got my Q8 today in the mail. Ordered the black version, but was sent the white one. Annoying.

I'm using the 1.2A Nexus 5 charger for it right now, as I don't have a 1.5A charger to test it on. So far, so good. I'll usually be putting this thing on the charger over night, so it's okay for me if it charges a little less quickly. Hopefully it doesn't heat up too much - so far, after letting it sit for about an hour, it's warm, but not too hot.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fedor12:
Ah i see what you mean now it does look like the 1st one you tested but has an led. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201074128360?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648 another one i just found it looks exactly like the last one on your list but states it has magnets which is very interesting as i thought the only one with magnets was the official google charger, im considering going for this one as i was already planning on taking apart the new charger and fitting n52 magnets which I've already ordered so this will probably save me the hassle and i can fit the magnets on just my puck charger
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
That is interesting that the seller says it has magnets. The only phone that has plating inside to accommodate the magnets is the Nexus 5, but the seller advertises it for the Galaxy S4/5/Note 3.

Who knows though, the price isn't bad, and if it does end up having magnets inside, it saves you modding time.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fedor12:
I did find it odd aswell, tbh i think i might just buy the one you linked so its the same one you tested that way if its not working properly i will know its the charger and not the model
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Actually, all of the ones I linked, are probably different sellers now. I don't even remember the sellers I used when I bought them months ago.

When I initially made this thread, I kept updating it with different sellers that had the lowest price at the time for the various styles of Qi chargers. Once the prices stabilized for the most part, I stopped updating the links.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tnizzle:
I got my q8 today. The led light is red and works well with my nexus 5 slim case. However, my nexus 7 2013 with poetic case won't charge
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fedor12:
My bad i thought they were the specific ones you purchased. I think i have found the cheapest one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QI-Wirele...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item3a8daf3853 its even cheaper than ordering from china although the title is misleading it says charger receiver for note 3 but the pictures and the item description is for the charger so im going to order one and if i do end up getting a reciever I'll ask for a replacement/refund as the item description and picture was wrong
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Sounds like a plan, just take some screen grabs of the item page just in case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fedor12:
I always take screenshots if the item sounds too good to be true lol. Thank you for all your assistance now just need to order a 2a mains charger to power it
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tnizzle:
Is it normal for the phone to get pretty warm using the Q8 charger?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] fedor12:
I don't have the q8 but its normal for the phone to get pretty warm with any qi charger, whats your actual battery temp?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zjhehe:
gah! torn between the q8 and the nilkkin. nillkin is a bit more expensive at $24, but hesitating as I want to be able to charge my S4 with receiver implanted wrapped around in an otterbox defender case. same dilemma as OP, live in canada so shipping and taxes kinda cuts into it
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dhruvmalik:
I am in love with this one.

too bad the product is completely different from the pics. Any premium Qi chargers like this available? I have the N4 ORB, but want something saucy like this one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] teamshao:
I just got my Q8 and noticed the temperature too - but I don't think it's the phone battery but instead the heat being given off by the charger itself, which is then heating up the phone. When the phone reached 100%, it cooled off. I left it on the charger overnight and woke up to the phone perfectly cool, just like it had been charged over a cable.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tracerit:
this may sound weird, but would it be ok to use a 500ma usb ac charger with these 1A qi chargers? i'd like to leave the phone on charge overnight and don't want it to get too hot and charge too fast. kind of like a slow charge.

also i noticed that when i place my phone off center to see if it'll charge slower, it actually draws more Watts from the wall, usually it's 5W, but it jumped to 5.5-6.0W.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Ohgami_Ichiro:
You are confusing the Amps. Using a 1.8A Wall charger the output from the Coil will be about 1A. If you used a 500mA Wall charger the output will be next to nothing. Using a 1A Wall charger will get you to about 450mA output. That might be your best bet. I have a 1.2A wall charger connected to a Metrans MWT02 at my desk and I get about 600mA output.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tnizzle:
My battery stats are stuck at charge or at a certain percentage when using the Q8 charger. You think it's all out of wack because I'm using xposed-gravity box?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dehsA:
I don't have much luck with the Q8. Half the time it doesn't charge or it takes quite a while to finally start charging.

On the other hand, the rectangular one with the green and red LEDs work extremely well. Charges instantly and the size is just right.

I'm still liking my two DT-900s the most though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Old_Curmudgeon:
QI charging base problem.

mmmmBacon,I really appreciate the effort that you have put into this comparison.. I’m curious if you or someone else can help me understand a problem that I am having with my Note 3, its QI receiver and a 5v/1A QI charging base that requires a 5v/2A source. When I set it up the phone appears to connect and disconnect. It stays on for 3-5 seconds and may momentarily disconnect (or take 5-10 seconds to reconnect.). The blue charging/connected indicator on the base remains on but does appear to flicker. Both the base power lamp and the base charging/connected indicator lamp are very dim but I believe that that is the design. This is a charger that I bought on eBay from a Chinese vendor. It is the flat rectangular type with two indicator LEDs that you can’t see unless they are on.

I have tried the phone on a different QI base and it remains connected so I believe that I have exonerated the phone and the charging receiver.

I have used two 2A micro USB AC adapters and one 2.4A micro USB AC adapter. Each performed the same. Out of sheer frustration, I tried a 180ma charger and it too had the same performance.

I have a video that demonstrates the behavior posted on photobucket but, as a newbie, I can't post the hyperlink. Feel free to email me for it.

(Sorry it is so dark)

Questions that come to mind:

1)	How likely is it that the base is defective?

2)	Can the USB cord affect the amps delivered to the base? (Even though the indicator lamps light up?)

3)	Is this behavior indicative of any particular problem?

Mike
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dave2metz:
My first QI Wireless Charger was delivered a few hours ago. I was going to post a link and a short review, but I realized it is the same charger you reviewed in the OP. It is the generic rectangle with 2 LED's. $12.00 shipped you can't go wrong! Only having it for a short time, I'd say it looks good and it charges my Nexus 5 so that helps... I'll maybe update later.

NEXUS 5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bpollina:
In the first post, you mention replacing the cables with good quality ones.

My kids keep breaking the cheap ones I find.

Who has good quality cables?

What do you recommend size wise?

I've used 3 ft and is it 6 ft?

Links if you have them. US preferred. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dave2metz:
Amazon has a million different cables in all sizes and colors. Just read the reviews and you should find something you like.

NEXUS 5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Well I can't answer specific information with regards to that phone/receiver combo as I did all of my tests using my Nexus 5, but for general information I can do my best to help you out.

What USB cable are you using? You didn't specify that part, so that may be a cause of your problems as well. The AC Adapter is very important, but if you do not use a USB cable that supports a higher current, your Qi Pad won't receive the proper power regardless of if you have a 2A or 10A AC Adapter. Many cheaper cables that ship with Qi chargers don't support anything higher than around 500mA. So despite a 2A Adapter, the Qi charger is only receiving a 500mA current, that in turn will barely power the Qi charger (if at all), let alone provide any decent output current.

What you described with the lights flickering on and off and difficulty connecting/staying connected to me sounds like it is either being underpowered, or unfortunately is a defective unit.

So for your questions:

1) If you have tried everything; powering the charger with different AC Adapters, different USB cables, and the phone works on a different Qi Pad, it is likely that the one you received is defective unfortunately.

2) The USB cable absolutely can affect the amps delivered! That's why in the OP I mentioned the first thing I did was replace the USB cables with better cables. If you have a good AC Adapter, you also need to have a good USB cable as many cheaper cables will only support around 500mA, regardless of how much current is available.

3) The behaviour to me seems like it is either being underpowered or is defective. Hopefully it's the former and not the latter. If you haven't tried different USB cables, see if you can get your hands on one that you know supports a higher current. If you have already done that, then it is most likely defective and you should ask for a refund or replacement.

Since you are in the US, the cheapest solution for cables that support a high current are the Monoprice Premium USB Cables. Make sure you choose the Premium cables, as their normal ones do not support a high current. They also have lifetime replacement warranty on their cables, so if you have any issues they will send you new ones free.

Also, you need to make sure you have a good AC Adapter that provides enough power to the Qi Charger.

I made a thread about the 1.8A Blackberry Folding Blade Charger. If you don't want to worry about finding both AC Adapters and Cables separately, it is a good all in one solution for powering most Qi chargers (as well as charging your phone ridiculously fast if necessary). It is also very cheap since you live in the US. $5 for 2, or $6 for 3.

I mentioned that I only use them for my 1.5A input Qi chargers, but I had absolutely no problems using them as well for my 2A input Qi chargers. They seemed to be fully powered and working the same as using my 2A AC Adapters.
