Agree with going with 3 coils. I was looking at this:

Because I fear some of the upright ones may not align well with the proper "spot" on the N6...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] f1ip:
Just got my N6. Works fine on my nokia dt-900.

It took almost 3hrs to charge from 50% to 100%. Although i was taking it on and off the pad for a couple mins a few times.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] P1 Wookie:
Look forward to hearing how well (or not) it works. First phone I'm getting with wireless charging so I'll probably finally buy one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dr. Burgle:
Updated as I now have the phone up and running

Nokia DT-900 and the Tylt work perfectly, they also charge through my Spigen Ultra Hybrid case no problems.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Illrigger:
For phones? Never. The faster chargers are not intended for phones, at least not in current specs. There is a medium power charger spec, but it's intended for laptops, tablets and the like that have room for larger coils.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] NexUsandThem:
Just received this yesterday. I have not had a chance to test as I am still waiting for my N6. Hopefully tomorrow. I like the stand design and it has 3 coils for better coverage.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LFVPQS4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

the product description from Amazon doesn't give me too much confidence though... "3 Coil Built in, stronger enough for charging your phone":eek:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 10pmStalker:
I didn't know chargers came that ugly. What an eye sore.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dr Faustus:
Can confirm that it DOES work brilliantly well with my Tylt VU wireless charger. Cheers!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] youareme7:
I assume then you mean it works in portrait and landscape? can you just plop it down and no worries or do you have to be careful how you put it in the dock?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jt3:
I've posted in a couple other threads about qi charging on the N6, but I thought I'd give a quick overview here of the things that affect your choice of charger, as per the OP.

The coil position is pretty low on the N6. In fact, the sweet spot (which you'd want to line up to the center of your charging pad) is located just below the bottom of the volume rocker. This, combined with the size of the N6 itself, and the slight curve of the back, means that smaller charging "pucks" aren't going to be your best bet, because it will take a little more effort to get them lined up just right, without the N6 falling off the edge.

The official Nexus Charger is worthless on the N6. The magnets are not strong enough to help you locate the sweet spot, and as someone has said in another post, it seems that the coils are far enough apart (probably because of the curve... I suspect that the coils are attached to the battery, not the inside back surface) that it will only charge a naked N6. What's more, it's tall enough that the "fall off the edge" problem is exacerbated.

The larger charging beds, such as the original Samsung charger work great, but not if you center the N6. Just remember where the sweet spot is, and place accordingly. On the Samsung charger, for example, you'll place the N6 about an inch higher than center (so that the top sticks over the top edge of the charger by about an inch).

Honestly, the best chargers are the dock-style, like the DT-910 or Tylt Vu. It literally seems like the N6 was designed for this type of charger. I wouldn't be surprised if the next Nexus Charger is of this design. In the meantime, the Tylt has a bad reputation of overheating, which may or may not have been fixed. Even if not, the N6 may or may not be affected, since once it hits 100% charge it completely stops charging (rather than switch to trickle-mode like other phones). If you're worried about it, get the Nokia DT-910, which has no such issues.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] FMMFL:
Same here. Also working wonderfully on my nokia DT-910:D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] youareme7:
I have 3 of the Nokia DT-900 chargers and I agree with others that it does work but it really requires precision placement and it seems like it would be likely to slip off.

I think I'm going to attempt to Plasti Dip (or spray or brush, haven't decided) one of them with clear Plasti Dip to see if that makes it grippy enough to make it easy to just plop it down in the right spot
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dr Faustus:
I usually leave it in Portrait while charging but I have not had issues with landscape either.

Nexus 4 & 5 charger review

I tried both my Nexus 4 wireless charger (the angled orb with rubber rings on the front ) and my Nexus 5 wireless charger (the little smooth one with the magnet in it ).

The Nexus 4 one seems to hold the phone half decent , but it is hard to find the sweet spot where it likes to charge at ,I find my self constantly looking over at my desk and its not charging again :( .

The Nexus 5 charger is a crap shoot, first off the back of the Nexus 6 isnt flat and the surface skates all over the place on the Nexus 5 charger like ice , on top of that it is almost impossible to find the sweet spot where the phone likes to charge at and get it to stay there .

I might just go back to the LG charger I have from when i first bought my nexus 4
[Nexus 6 Accessories] NexUsandThem:
:good:

Didn't know posts could be so meaningless.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 10pmStalker:
You learn something every day. Welcome to the internet!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nyijedi:
Thanks. Where did you hear about the N6 not trickle charging when it gets to 100? After fully charging while on a charger, what happens while it remains on the charger?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jt3:
I didn't hear about it. I experienced it. When my N5 reached 100%, it still showed as charging, but it shifted to trickle charging mode. You knew that happened, because if it didn't, it'd get VERY hot. This is what tended to happen with the Tylt Vu. It would fail to go to trickle charge mode, and could get so hot that the N5 would actually shut down (or the battery would actually drain, and you'd wake up to 50%-ish battery, and a device that practically burned your fingers if you touched it). However, normally, whenever the N5 was on a wireless charger, it would ALWAYS show that it was charging, no matter what).

The N6, however, simply stops charging. You lose the charging indicator and everything. If you're in Daydream mode, it will stop (because it thinks the device is no longer on a charger). The N6 will go back to the lock or home screen (depending on whether or not it was locked when it was placed on the charger.) After it times out, it will shut off. When the battery reaches 98% (more or less), it will start charging again. The N6 will come on (usually to the lock screen, but if it JUST shut off, it could go back to the home screen). After it times out, daydream will start again. When it reaches 100%... well, it repeats from there.

This pretty much prevents the N6 from being used as a bedside clock, because it will bounce on and off all night. However, I'm more worried about burn-in, since it will show an unchanging homescreen or almost unchanging lock screen for quite bit of time, assuming you charge every night.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickie88:
I'm using the Nokia DT-900 and it works great with the N6. No having to hunt for a sweet spot.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jt3:
Do you mean the DT-910? The DT-900 is a flat charging bed, whereas the DT-910 is the stand-up version. On the DT-910, you simply set the N6 down on the charger, and it's automatically on the sweet spot, but on the DT-900, you still have to line it up just right so that the center of the charger is just below the bottom of the Volume Rocker. In other words, place the N6 so that the bottom of the phone and charger are lined up (which makes the top stick WAY over ). If you center it on the charger, it doesn't work very well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slickie88:
I have the DT-900 and it's charging fine with the N6 sitting smack dab in the middle of the charging puck. It will stop charging if I move the phone down to about 1/4 inch from the top, which is pretty far off of center. In other words I don't have to hunt for a sweet spot; it's pretty forgiving and just works.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jt3:
Hmm... I have a DT-900 that I use as my travel charger, so that's good news. I was judging by how the N6 lined up on my DT-910, which is my nightly charger. I'm surprised that it works on the DT-900 centered though. It doesnt' work on my Samsung pads centered.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] CaptainSpazzz:
Hm. After reading this whole thread I'm debating on the Nokia DT-910 or the Choe stadium Qi.

Any thoughts?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Namolas:
I received the Choe Stadium Qi today from Amazon. Overall I'm very happy with the build, but can't try using it until Saturday when I get me phone. I'll post my thoughts then if you are still deciding.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] marctronixx:
early in this thread i picked up 4 qi chargers with one of them being the nexus 5 charger for the car.

well that does not work properly with the nex 6 as goog wants one to believe.

so i am returning it and based on your post [MENTION=1548658]GrandMasterB[/MENTION] i ordered this cat for the car. should be here tonight (same day order, same day ship--love it).

im using the nex 6 without a case to make the wireless chargers work more efficiently.

i can confirm these work well:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N4H1M8K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

i bought 3 of them.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bjray:
Here is my CHOE Stadium:

[YOUTUBE]watch?v=yA5SBdKFNY4[/YOUTUBE]

It has great placement. Pretty much just plop the phone down on it and it lines up fine.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Docavelli:
I've had the Choe 3 coils chargers (3 of them) for about a month now. I like them. They charge quick enough and the design is nice. Because of the 3 coils, I can pretty much just drop my N5 on it and it always connects. My N6 gets here today. I'll do some testing on it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] CaptainSpazzz:
Choe Stadium it is.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] XSSIVE.:
Anyone noticing absurdly slow Qi charging? I put my 6 (in the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case) on my DT910 charger last night at 55% and it made the charging noise, said "charging" and worked fine....however....I woke up 8 hours later and it only went from 55% to 89%. Never had that problem with my Nexus 5. Guess I'll have to do some testing tonight to see if it's the case on the phone causing the issue, the charger not putting out enough power for the phone or the phone itself. I also have a DT900 and Nexus 4 orb I can test. All the chargers work and show the phone as charging when I tested them, I never thought to look at the charge speed since I figured that was a fairly standard thing with Qi chargers knowing they're all slower than wired, but shouldn't be this slow.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] uhguy:
To those of you with the CHOE, does it work with a thin case? I ordered one and it will be here today. Hoping I can use it with my Spigen Ultra Hybrid.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] VTEChump:
What kind of charge to you get with the CHOE in terms of % per hour?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] CarpathianSS:
I have that same Mouse Pad!:highfive: Going to get the Choe it seems. I would like a tilted one but unsure how the nexus will rest on one with the curved back
[Nexus 6 Accessories] P1 Wookie:
Nice. I just ordered one yesterday.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] uhguy:
Answering my own question here, and confirming that the CHOE does in fact work with my Spigen Ultra Hybrid. I also tried to see how much space I could get between the phone and the charger and it still charge. I got 13 playing cards between the charger and phone and it still worked. It would not charge with any more than 14.

Hopefully this helps people that are on the fence on this charger. I can't report on charging time yet as I haven't charged the phone on it other than this photo.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
LED = negative ghost rider for me.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] uhguy:
Meaning when it is on your phone isn't charging or?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] falcon26:
I'm looking for one that allows you to stand your phone up so you can see the display. When its flat its not as easy to see.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jt3:
Nokia DT-910.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bawls:
I put the Anker charging pad on my nightstand and it makes a buzzing noise only while charging. Puts ya right to sleep. :D Might just be mine I dunno.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Namolas:
He probably just means he won't buy one with an LED because it would be annoying at night. I think I'd just cover it with a small piece of black electrical tape if it bothered me rather that rule out any with an LED.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bjray:
You can't even see the LED because the N6 covers it up and the LED isn't bright at all, just the surface lights up. But each to his own.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] uhguy:
I feel dumb now. :laugh:

You can see it, but that is easily remedied by pointing the light away from you and then it pretty much disappears. I mainly bought it for my desk at work so I can set it down and pick it up as needed without fooling with plugs.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] P1 Wookie:
Just got my CHOE stadium, plopped the N6 down on it and started charging no problem. I might put on my thick moko case I use for work just to see if it'll charge through that too, but I don't use that case outside of work
[Nexus 6 Accessories] TechBSwift:
Let me know if the moko case works with the CHOE, I have that case as well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] lightsout:
I would like to know this as well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rock_80:
Im still on the hunt as well.... i have 2 of the official n5 chargers , and as others have said they're useless with the n6.. I think im gonna try to hold out for Qi-Infinity for home. The offical LG G3 Charger Stand works well though I have one of those at work.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] P1 Wookie:
I just tried it out. I do have to move the phone up a bit for it to pickup, but it does work. Probably because of the plastic kickstand that's dead center on the case. But it does work.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] lightsout:
Thanls for the info. Goinbg to pick one up.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Mr.Marc:
Just picked up the CHOE stadium, but can anyone give a eta on charging time? I don't mind if it adds a extra hour but I'm just curious on what to expect.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] boingboingbilly:
Nokia DT-900 works great for me, no hunting for the sweet spot and the tylt vu works great too
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bjray:
Mine takes about 3 hours for a full charge.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Mr.Marc:
Thank you! Is that with a case or without?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Wilazn:
Thanks! Just picked up the CHOE stadium also!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mwenn1:
I have the Tylt VU and it works nicely, however I have noticed that I cannot QI charge the Nexus 6 when it is off. I turn it off place it on the VU and it turns itself back on. The N5 and N4 would QI charge when they were off but the N6 seems to have to be on to QI charge. Anyone else seeing this?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bigkevbosky:
Get the "Itian" charger - here : http://www.amazon.com/Itian-Standar...?ie=UTF8&qid=1416846209&sr=8-1&keywords=itian

It's exactly like the Tylt Vu, only about $30 cheaper. Works great on the N6.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bjray:
I like to keep my beast naked :cool:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] TheSopranos16:
Anyone worried about heat from Qi chargers? My N4 always got really hot when wireless charging and I'm noticing that my N6 does the same thing. After 2 years of almost exclusive wireless charging on my N4, It would die in under 1H SOT. I know it was never great on battery, but it usually gave 2-3 hours SOT when it was new. I'm concerned that the constant heat from Qi charging killed the lifespan of the battery and I'm hesitant to do the same thing to my N6.

I do love the convenience of wireless charging and if I was sure it wasn't killing my battery's longevity, I would go right back to it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jt3:
Pretty much every phone will turn on when you place it on a charger (wired or qi). Most phones seem to have a threshold though. For instance, my Nexus 5 wouldn't turn on if it were already at or above 95%, but would otherwise. While on the charger, you can always hit the phone's power switch (or let it time out if you don't have a daydream set), and it will charge just fine while the screen is powered off. Incidentally, it can also wirelessly charge while it's actually fully off (not standby). You'll just get the little battery charging indicator on the screen the entire time.

These devices (phones) are designed to monitor for heat, and stop charging if the heat gets too high. For example, the Tylt Vu is known to have had an issue where it wouldn't drop to "trickle charge" mode when the device reached 100% charge, like it should, and the battery would get VERY hot. However, the phones would always stop charging, and let that heat dissipate when that happened, and the phones wouldn't suffer any long-term affects. It was scary though. I'm pretty sure that can't happen with the N6, because it doesn't go into "trickle charge" mode. It simply stops charging when it hits 100%, and doesn't start up again until it hits (around) 98%. This plays havoc with daydreams and/or timeouts, because the phone literally thinks it's been picked up off the charger during this time. It will actually go to the home screen (if it wasn't locked when you started charging) which has me concerned with burn-in on the AMOLED screen, but that's another matter.

Yes, more heat is generated than, say, a regular USB charger, but not as much as with a Turbo (Quickcharge 2.0) charger. Yes, battery life may be slightly diminished because of this, but it should still last several years -- more than the time you'll likely keep the phone, so I wouldn't worry about it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bjray:
Actually, unless the N6 display is showing the wrong indicator. It won't charge / turn-on via Qi charging from a 0% battery.

I've tried a couple times now, it just doesn't work. Maybe it's too weak and doesn't even try?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jt3:
I think your last sentence is correct, assuming you mean that it doesn't even try to INDICATE that it's charging. It actually should charge, though. I remember this with my N5 too. Until it reaches 5% or so, it won't display anything. Once it hits that percentage, it will display the battery charging indicator. If your qi wireless charger has a charging indicator, look at that to see if your completely dead N6 is charging or not.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bjray:
I mean the display will only show a dead battery on-screen and won't power on at all, the charging indicator is active on the wireless pad too.

If I wire it up it will show the same battery dead but then start charging and be able to power it up normally.

I'm guessing this could be a safety feature because Qi chargers aren't powerful enough to charge the battery and keep it powered up at the same time from a fully depleted power source. The power flow is too slow.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] djkleric:
This, I have one and it works great. It has 3 coils and charges like a champ. It will charge with the MOKO case on it no problem.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Liferules:
I have no understanding of the physical limitations of coils, but surprised that there are no curved Qi charging pads given the prevalence now of phones with curved backs (Nexus 6, Moto X). Would have thought that someone would have created one that worked for these phones...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jt3:
All (or at least almost all) of the curved phones have the wireless charging coils on the battery, not the back cover, so they don't follow the curve of the back. Thus, the COILS on the charger won't benefit from being curved. Now, if you're talking about a charger that matches the curve of the phone so that the phone sets on it stably, without rocking, well, the problem here is that not all of the curved phones have the exact same amount of curve. Even if they did, their varying widths, would make it difficult to make a curved dock that would fit all of the various models. It's much "safer" to simply keep the bed flat, since that will work well with all phone models, curved or otherwise.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Mr.Marc:
Well I received my CHOE Stadium one day earlier than expected and so far I like it and it is charging tru Spigen thin fit case. Just wish maybe the charging pad was bigger overall other than that I will pick up one for my office at work unless I want to try something different :p .

I think someone mentioned this Qi Infinity Power , does anyone have more feedback on it? http://www.amazon.com/Qi-Infinity-Desktop-Charger-Smartphones/dp/B00N4H1M8K/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1416869686&sr=1-1&keywords=qi+infinity+wireless+charger&pebp=1416869730554
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Natolx:
The Qi infinity power works great so far but it only works in portrait mode. In Landscape mode, no matter what position the phone is in it either doesn't charge at all, or it charges intermittently.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] JoeJags:
I use this Energizer Dual charger. Works great. A little big, but will charge two phones or two tablets, etc.

A little hard to find anymore though.....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] marctronixx:
ive got the choe to charge the two stone qi chargers i have wirelessly.

i also have THREE of these linked qi chargers and they work absolutely well! i dont use a case and the charging stand will charge in portrait (my default mode) and landscape.

the coil on the nexus 6 is towards the "exus" part of the phone

so in landscape, put the phone more towards the left (facing the charger) and it will charge. worth every penny.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jt3:
Exactly this. The coil stretches from about the center of the "e" to about the center of the "s," centering just between the "x" and "u." So, X doesn't precisely mark the sweet spot in this case, but it's darn close.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Mr.Marc:
Can you snap a pic or 3 of the Qi Infinity with the N6 on it? :)

I got the choe stadium today. Seems OK but I have one issue. If I take the phone off of the charger when I put it back on it will not connect. I seem to have to unplug the charger itself and plug it back in. Like it needs to be rebooted before it can detect the phone. Is this normal?
