Assuming it gets here on Wednesday like it's supposed to, I will be sure to include images and whatnot, if someone else doesn't do so beforehand :highfive:

this is GENIUS. I may have to try that at some point when I actually have some money lying around.

I'll try to get some pics posted later today (I'm a CPA and it's tax season), but it works pretty good. The strap is a little long so I have to fold it a little so that the receiver is in the right place and doesn't interfere with cameras. I get a notification that states that I'm using a slow charging device. And it keeps popping up even though I checked a box to not be notified anymore. But don't be fooled, it does not slow charge! Last night, I placed it on charging pad. Took a shower, etc...and in 15 minutes, it charged 5%. Got one for my wife also and she stated her phone was fully charged in 3 hours or so. Point is, it does not slow charge.
[One (M8) Accessories] xPhantom:
Awesome! I would love to see some pictures of it!
[One (M8) Accessories] henderjr:
Me too
[One (M8) Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
Okay, I got my charger in. Only have the Middle Aligned one for now, but may upload the other one later. If you want any other specific pictures, let me know. Rate of charge I cannot really gauge right now as my phone is like, 80%+ =\

HTC Sync message may pop up

Slow Charging message will pop-up

YMMV - my Samsung charger did not like it and charging kept going in and out, but my TYLT was fine

Depending on your case (mine is Diztronic) how you put the case on will change. I say try putting the plug in FIRST, then the case, in order to prevent excess ribbon from sticking out. The coil part has a small adhesive strip if you want to keep it in place on the phone's back.

The ribbon feels like it will break... which is why I have it charging on its side.

[One (M8) Accessories] alpineMk2:
Thanks for the photos! Mind sharing what case you are using? Are you able to detach the pad for USB access with the case still on alright? I often have to charge not at home (travel) , so this might not be the solution for me.
[One (M8) Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
It's the Diztronic TPU case. The plug is quite tight in the USB port, so I would not recommend repeated removal to connect it to the computer. You would probably want to just use some sort of cloud storage and then manage files on the phone =\

The ribbon just really feels filmsy so I don't know how durable it is.
[One (M8) Accessories] droidkevlar:
Just got mine. Was your ribbon extra long too? For mine in just folded it, is that how you did urs?

Yes. I had to do the same....
[One (M8) Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
Hm, how much longer is it?

Neither of mine were too long, fortunately.
[One (M8) Accessories] droidkevlar:
Inch or tiny more maybe. There is a little bulge in my case due to it but not bad. I'm just happy to have qi again.

Thanks for the pictures...I'm debating getting a case now for the added convenience of wireless charging, but I really dislike putting a case on such a beautiful phone...
[One (M8) Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
Yeah... I'm conflicted as well. I don't mind a case, but I do want to try a Tetrax mount for my car, but am concerned about the magnet that will be on the case interfering with my wireless charger.

I wish I could break my OCD and just use the phone without a case, but I just can't... I had called into HTC regarding the screen replacement and how that goes down, and unfortunately they will charge extra for a chassis replacement. If they were going to just replace the phone with a refurb or something then I wouldn't mind so much about using it naked =\

Anyone know whether this would work with a Seidio case with metal kickstand? When I had my DNA I believe people said not to do it and I think Seidio eventually put up a disclaimer about it on their site, but now I don't see anything. Their dilex case with metal kickstand for the Nexus specifically says it works with wireless charging. I have a qi receiver tucked in my current cheap case while I waited for Seidio to release their active case line. So now I'm debating between qi and kickstand or trying both.

I tried to ask a chat rep but I don't think he understands:

Austin: Hello and thank you for visiting Seidio Online! How can I help you?

me: Sure, quick question. Are the active cases with metal kickstands compatible with wireless charging? I am installing an aftermarket qi receiver for my HTC One M8 and am considering the Active case with metal kickstand.

Austin: No they would not be compatible, I'm sorry.

me: But the dilex case for Nexus 4 is compatible with wireless charging it appears. What is the difference?

Austin: Our cases require to have the standard back on. If the charger requires you to change the back it would not be compatible.
[One (M8) Accessories] droidkevlar:
Anyone with the qi add on notice this? I put my phone on the charger when I go to sleep, and I'm guessing sometime after a full charge, the screen keeps coming on. I even cleared all notifications and it would still do it again. Any ideas what might be causing this?

[One (M8) Accessories] downwiththebanksters:
Oh wow! This is amazing, and sealed me getting an M8, thanks to all above and below. My Palm spoiled me with wireless charging, and that was the main thing that kept me from this phone. Samsung shot themselves in the foot with Knox: going from very open, to a closed Apple-like attitude towards the freedom of their customers to do what we want to with our $700 devices. I'm going to ask again about anyone who has actual experience with interference from a metal kickstand. I bought my wife an M7, and it's speakers make it a multimedia powerhouse, my S2 firing the sound backward on a kickstand pales in comparison to hers. That said, I definitely want a kickstand case for my M8, anyone have recommendations?
[One (M8) Accessories] mike_augie:
not only does mine come on but it set of some kind of full phone chime "alarm" on mine and wont stop until i unpugged ...
[One (M8) Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
You may want to see if it's actually just repeatedly charging and stopping which would turn it on and off. But I haven't had it happen over night like that.
[One (M8) Accessories] droidkevlar:
I thought it might be that due to one time I pulled it off, it said 96%, and then was at 100% few mins later. But its pretty annoying. Wonder if there is a way to disable the screen coming on when charging.
[One (M8) Accessories] regalpimpin:
My Nokia charger did that. Doesn't trickle charge.. Have to try a different charger to have it not do it.

My qi receiver thing will be here today. http://www.ebay.com/itm/161242912389 I have a dot view case so we'll see if it works ok with it. I also purchased two PowerBot pads, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F6SPYJS/. If anyone is curious how it all turns out I'll post info here.
[One (M8) Accessories] p2kmafia:
Just got my case in today and I put the black wireless receiver inside of it and its working perfectly. The charging dock I bought doubles as a 7000mAh external battery and charges at 750mA which I found to be the best I could find online. Loving it!
[One (M8) Accessories] henderjr:
So the charging seems to work pretty well with my other case, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IF5B218/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Though it's a clear case, has a yellow tint, and the flash sucks with it as the case seems to make it deflect the light or something. As for the dot view adding in the receiver causes the flap to not close completely. I decided to try to stretch the flap and tore it right off. Grr!!! I think I could glue it back together with some patience and good glue so I might try that soon.

So until I get around to fixing my dot view case, or maybe waiting until a 3rd party makes one that would work better for this solution, I'm going to order something else that isn't clear. Anyone have any recommendations as what works with the added thickness due to the qi receiver?

Edit: Anyone come across how to remove the slow charge notification? I'm going to check later to see if it's a true/false toggle in the default.xml file.

Thanks
[One (M8) Accessories] n8mack33:
I have a Nokia DT-900 charger that worked great with my DNA. However, with a qi receiver on my M8 it isn't working well at all. Tried with different cases and even without any case. When I first set it down the charging light comes on, then after about 5 seconds the screen comes on, then dims, then shuts off, and it stops charging. Any ideas? New charger, software mod, new qi receiver (I have the black with green letters one from Amazon that says Wireless Charger Receiver Module)? A couple of nights it worked fine but last night I couldn't get it to charge at all.
[One (M8) Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
Diztronic has a simple black TPU case, which would work fine.

As for third party dot view cases... I'm curious if a company would be willing to develop the tech for a capacitive case to enable the double-tap and other touch based features. Otherwise, enabling the LCD/dot view mode is simply magnetic.

I would say try another receiver... that charger is pretty simple to line the coil up with so I'd say the receiver is the problem.
[One (M8) Accessories] regalpimpin:
I had no luck with the nokia charger either. It was always turning on/off, on/off. Works fine with my nexus 7. But does not work at all with these receivers. Even though it to worked fine for a day or two.

I ended up putting the powerbot charger into the nokia fatboy pillow. And haven't had an issue since.
[One (M8) Accessories] henderjr:
HTC could definitely do a better job with the dot view case. Even their regular flip cover case is nicer with folding it around to the back and it laying flat for easier one handed use. So I'd hope some other company will invest into making a better (and probably cheaper) version. Or maybe HTC will redesign a version 2 of the dot view.

I did purchase the Diztronic case yesterday. Being delivered today along with a different charging mat. I don't care for the powerbot as it's too small. I went with something flat and phone size, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F1SHFJA/. Trying one and if I like it returning both powerbots and ordering a second qi mat. Got to love Amazon Prime. Now to decide if it's worth keeping or cancelling my trial in the next few days..
[One (M8) Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
Is it that the regular flip cover is more flexible? I was intrigued by the Dot View at first, as I'm sure everyone was, until the reviews came in.

I'm using a TYLT VU for charging my M8 with this adapter since the receiver isn't exactly centered on the back of the phone. I do charge in landscape though since that nub is sticking out at the bottom of the phone and I don't want to put strain on it.

I also have two Samsung pads but I just use them for my Nexus 5 because the coil is actually centered on that phone. With the M8 on it, I'd have to hunt around to find the sweet spot for it to charge, at which point I'd rather just plug in a cable.

I was lucky enough to find both chargers with 50% codes =x
[One (M8) Accessories] henderjr:
I want to get one of those VU qi chargers at some point. I was able to get my QI receiver pretty well centered. See attachment. But putting on the powerbot is a pain. I'm hoping the mat I ordered will work better as I can feel the edges of the mat and easily put the phone centered on it.

As for the flip case I think it lays more flat because the hinge is bigger. See the photo in the Android Central post I linked.
[One (M8) Accessories] henderjr:
Finally happy with my qi setup. Here's what I purchased. This qi receiver, tpu case, and charging mat.
[One (M8) Accessories] :
Are you satisfied with your M8 wireless charging experience? Hows the charging rate/stability?

I bought the same item on eBay, how long did it take to arrive for you?
[One (M8) Accessories] henderjr:
So far I like it! Charges slow but in general I only charge it when I'm in bed or at my desk working. Phone does get a bit warm but that happens with all QI charging I believe. I have an app monitoring my phone usage just to see how quick it charges. See attachment.

Looks like it was around 65-70% and took a couple hours to get to 100%. That's with zero usage and it just sitting on my night stand. I've only charged via QI since I got the receiver on Monday. Took 9 days to get it.
[One (M8) Accessories] mrshades812:
Is it hard to unplug the micro usb cable? I plug into my PC a lot, so I need semi-easy access.

Thanks.
[One (M8) Accessories] henderjr:
I just unplugged it for the first time. It came out fine though it's a pretty tiny little area to grab on to. Need nails.

The cable is so small/thin I wouldn't be surprised if it breaks or something if it's constantly being messed with. Could always buy a second one as a backup since they're not very expensive.
[One (M8) Accessories] cmay227:
I've got the same usb receiver as you, believe from the same link on amazon. anyway...I've got a Nexus orb charger and a lg pad. The ones Verizon were selling when the droid DNA launched and mine charges from around 10% to 100% in about 3 hours 45 minutes on average, which is the same as my droid DNA charges. So far happy with the little pad/USB charge receiver. whats the average on yours from really low to full charge? Had mine for about a week, so far so good. Worth the money,
[One (M8) Accessories] henderjr:
I haven't gotten below 50% so far so can't tell ya. I'll probably give it a full test this weekend
[One (M8) Accessories] TriBeard:
If you're going to plug and unplug it a lot, you could try and file/dremel/sand down the two connector prongs on the USB connector of the charging sticker thing. That would let it come out easier and have less wear on the phone and wire.
[One (M8) Accessories] henderjr:
So when I was trying to make my qi receiver work in my dot view case I ended up ripping the cover off the case. I was trying to stretch it because the qi receiver made the back stick out enough to cause the flap to not close. Expensive mistake! LOL.

So now I have my dot view cover working with either of my tpu cases (clear spigen and black distronic). Not perfect but works. The flap tucks into the case. See photos.

As for the qi setup it works fine and charges fine until it get to 90% and then the charger will blink like it lost connection and then reconnected. That causes the screen to come on. It'll do it over and over. Even if I power the phone off. I think the phone wants to be trickle charged the last 10% or something and the qi setup doesn't do that. I'm able to get it to 100% if I let it be but it's annoying at night when my room lights up. So I've been waking up and noticing it and just take it off the charger. Not ideal. If I had to guess it's a kernel thing and maybe it'll work better when there are custom kernels.
[One (M8) Accessories] zack2491:
I bought a Platinum case w/ kickstand at Best Buy, which is a rebranded Seidio surface. The sticker goes above the kickstand, so no issues.
[One (M8) Accessories] n8mack33:
Awesome, thanks for letting me know. How much was the case at best buy and does it come with a holster clip?
[One (M8) Accessories] zack2491:
$34.99, yes on the holster. Same price as the Seidio, without waiting for shipping :)
[One (M8) Accessories] n8mack33:
On seidio's website it is 35 for just the case without the holster or 50 with the case. So best buy is a great deal. I bought one back when I had my evo but forgot they do that.
[One (M8) Accessories] :
Do you guys find that when its fully charged, the phone wakes up every few minutes?
[One (M8) Accessories] henderjr:
It does it when it gets above 90% for me. Kind of annoying. But I live with it.
[One (M8) Accessories] regalpimpin:
That is because of the charger being used. Some trickle charge, and just stay at 100% solid. Some turn on and off repeatedly when battery starts getting full.

Should be the charger, not the receiver causing the issue though.
[One (M8) Accessories] chrisnathan1983:
My screen doesn't turn on and off when the battery is full. I'd believe it's due to the charger.
[One (M8) Accessories] henderjr:
what charger do you have? I have the TYLT VU and TechMatte QI Charger. The TYLT seems to let it get to 95% or so while the TechMatte starts at 89-90%.
[One (M8) Accessories] chrisnathan1983:
I'm using the Powerbot Qi charger. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00F6SQ1D6/
[One (M8) Accessories] Clarkkent434:
I hate my powerbot because it beeps constantly when it reaches 100% due to the trickle charge turns it on and off. I charge my phone while I sleep.
[One (M8) Accessories] henderjr:
Look up the powerbot on amazon and read through the questions. There's some in there on how to disable the beeping. You do have to take it apart but it sounded easy.
[One (M8) Accessories] munsterrr:
Can any of you that own the receivers take a picture of it from the side? Curious to see how thin these actually are.
[One (M8) Accessories] henderjr:
I have mine taped into my tpu diztronic case so maybe not the best pictures. I alternate between using my qi case and a clear case because I have a skin on the back of my phone that I like to show off once and a while.
[One (M8) Accessories] ticklemepinks:

[One (M8) Accessories] munsterrr:
Oh damn. Im happy I ordered mine yesterday. Should be delivered by the time I get home from work today.
[One (M8) Accessories] joshuaw84:
Just got my setup today, well actually two days ago, they sent port A instead of port B, so now my girlfriend can use that for her g2 if she wants. Amazon just credited it and gave me overnight shipping for free.

Anyhow, works with otter box defender if you put it between silicone and plastic pieces. Going to run it for a few days, kind of worried about case melt, but we'll see...

[One (M8) Accessories] downwiththebanksters:
I have the Seidio Surface w/kickstand. The receiver I have is the black "Wireless" brand mentioned above. The receiver, the Y01 style that conforms to the M8's USB's position/orientation, gets the receiver well past the kickstand. I haven't been able to get it to work with my cheapo Chinese Necker brand charging pad, so I'm going to try a Nillkin Energy Stone (my apologies for the Chinese link, but it shows the images of the 3 coil arrangement, that the Amazon links don't, which seems like a great design that might save fussy placement issues). The reviews on Amazon are not stellar for it, but my choices are limited here due to my illiteracy.

The Necker works fine with my Nexus 7. When I experiment with different positions/phones it drives current when I attach the receiver to the phone, and then extend only the receiver over the charger, but as soon as I put my M8, or M7 on top of the receiver the charge stops. A steel saucepan stops the charging too. I'm guessing the crappy charger somehow reacts to the aluminum of the phone and shuts off. No one here in this thread has mentioned anything like that, so is the body of the phone interfering an issue for anyone?

Update: It works well with the M8 in a blue Seidio Surface w/kickstand! Now lets hope the charger lasts. I also want to add the vendor did stress the need for this one to have a 2A power supply, but it is probably a good rule of thumb for all these Qi chargers that come without their own power supply to feed it adequate power.
[One (M8) Accessories] ThePhoneGeek:
So I've been through this thread a few times and have been on the fence for trying this as I normally hate cases in general as they detract from the overall design beauty of this great phone. However I've reached the point where the function is starting to out weigh maintaining the beauty of my naked M8. So while I don't see that anyone that has posted has tried this specific case but perhaps others that have read this thread may have so here's what I am thinking of using:

Slim Armor case from Spigen

Standard Type B Qi Micro USB referenced several other times in the thread.

and then obviously a Qi charging mat.

My underlying question is more about the case/Qi charger combo and if anyone has tried that or sees a potential problem with the combination that I am missing? Happy to report back if I am the first try this but thought I'd check with the community first.

MG
[One (M8) Accessories] Galaxysm:
So does the one m8 have wireless charging? Or do I need a special case or something?
[One (M8) Accessories] SBC44:
I have used this combo, and to me it seemed to charge a bit slower than with other cases I own, which are the otterbox symmetry, UAG, and Supcase unicorn beetle pro. That is also my least favorite case out of those two though, so I didn't really test it out very much to be sure.

So far using qi has been pretty great in my experience. I am kind of disappointed in how slowly it charges, but as long as you are charging it overnight it is manageable. And since the battery life on the M8 will comfortably last me through the day that isn't a problem. I also put a choetech qi cradle in my truck which helps keep the battery from draining while I'm driving if nothing else. For my qi charger on my night stand I'm using the Tylt Vu.

Question for anyone else using qi, are you able to keep your display on overnight (as an alarm clock) and have it still charge? The couple of times I've tried this it basically just broke even.
[One (M8) Accessories] ThePhoneGeek:
Thanks much for the info. My needs are really two fold, one is at night and it would seem that Qi would work well for overnight charging. The second however is as a desk solution, I am sitting at a desk for sometimes a couple hours at a time and many times I working and just lay my phone on the desk and forget to plug it in, putting a Qi on the desk would allow it to keep charging albeit slower was my thinking. Would this seem to be a good application?

MG
[One (M8) Accessories] SBC44:
Yep that should be perfect. I've actually got an external battery/QI charger that I keep on my desk but haven't really had a need for so far since I have no trouble making it to the end of the day.
[One (M8) Accessories] ThePhoneGeek:
It doesn't have it built in. Read through this thread and you'll see what people are doing to add it and use it.

MG
[One (M8) Accessories] spiff72:
Not sure if this has been asked, but with that Spigen case, could the wireless charging receiver/coil be placed between the outer rigid case, and the inner flexible case? This might reduce the space between the Tx and Rx coils for better efficiency?

It might also protect the finish of the phone from contact with the coil...
[One (M8) Accessories] SBC44:
You would have to cut the inner case to feed the cable from the coil to the USB port. It might be possible but I doubt the outer part of the case would fit very flush.
[One (M8) Accessories] spiff72:
Gotcha...

I don't have the case (or one of the receiving coils) to get a sense of their sizes, so figured someone would know!

Thanks
[One (M8) Accessories] matteebee:
Did that with my otterbox defender and it seems to charge way better with very minor bulge in outside rubber sleeve. Just ordered this for $14 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K2UW1Y6/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 shipped from Amazon to try. It's an almost identical design to the old Palm touchstone which I love.
