Another plug for the Itian A6 TYLT knockoff. Bought two of them from Amazon based on reviews here, and I'm not disappointed at all. Used one on the nightstand last night, as phone + Gentle Alarm has been my alarm clock for years. Charged nicely through my Spigen Slim Armor case, phone wasn't hot at all. My wife just got her N6 as well, and I tried her phone with one of those thick leather wallet type cases, seemed to work fine with that thick case as well.

Turning the phone landscape, needed to put it ever so slightly off center, but it was easy to line up and the red/blue LED makes it easy.

VERY happy with this purchase, actually going to buy one more for the wife.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Charwinger21:
Does anyone know if there are any Qi 1.2 chargers on the near horizon? The extra distance will be nice for thick cases.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ryocho:
FYI the CHOE Stadium is on Amazon lighting deal right now for $20.79 (about 2 hours left). Gonna combine it with a Spiderpodium for a homemade charging stand
[Nexus 6 Accessories] TechBSwift:

I have several qi chargers and this one is my favorite by far. No searching for the sweet slot, just sit it down and walk away. I have 3 of these and they are amazing

For those looking at the aukey, they have a $10 off code on their Facebook page for Amazon. Not sure if it still works or not. Haven't tried it myself. Just happened to see it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Crazypinoy9:
Don't see a code on their page. Care to post it for us? :D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ulukita:
I purchased my Silver Aukey Lunar on the 5th and it shipped today. I sent this to Amazon customer service just now.

"I am a fan of your Facebook page. I was unaware of the Cyberweek Deal you are running for the Aukey Luna Qi Charging Pad that I ordered on the 5th that just shipped today. The code is BPAG6P3B for $10 off your order. I know you don't have to but I'm asking if you could honor it for my order."

Got a response within 5 minutes stating since my order had already shipped they would refund $10 as an Amazon gift card online credit viewable on my account in 2-3 days. Make sure to add this code at checkout so you only pay $39.99 for this sick glass and metal Qi pad that works for our big a$$ phones.

If any of you guys are Nexus 7 (2013) owners and bought one of these Kidigi docks (See my review here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2510754 ), then your Nexus 6 works in it in Portrait mode. Nice little bonus!

Thanks!

Is that qi charger really THAT good that it costs $49.99?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] marctronixx:
if you dont need the bling/classy look this charger has (I have one) then get the Tylt. the tylt is normally 100 bucks so 50 bucks makes this worth it with no buyers remorse.

the tylt is equally as expensive but if you look you can find one locally or for a sale/reduced price on amazon.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Liferules:
Slightly tangential question but does anyone know how to disable the wireless charging notification?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] neilka:
Just a warning about the Tylt Vu - it seems to be possible to put it into a state where it won't charge anything any more if you have the Nexus 6 in landscape orientation and move it around too much. It did it by accident the first time I was trying to find the range of positions that work in landscape, and then was easily able to reproduce the problem a second time to prove to myself it wasn't a one-off... Fortunately it starts working again when the mains power is cycled but it's still a bit disappointing.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I just tried this with mine but I couldn't replicate it. Can anyone else with a TYLT see if it happens to them. I'm curious to see if its just yours or other people because yours could be defective. I charge mine in landscape all of the time and move it around a lot when my alarm goes off.

Ill keep trying to see if I can get it to stop working because that would be a fairly large flaw.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] neilka:
False alarm I think - I've investigated further and it doesn't seem to be the charger's fault. If the N6 changes between wireless charging/not charging too often in a short space of time (four or five times in as many seconds?) it seems to disable wireless charging, either for a certain period of time or until rebooting. I imagine that's probably an intentional safety feature in case of a faulty charger or charging circuit.

Other phones will still charge on the Tylt after that happens so there's nothing wrong with it. As for the phone it's not something that's likely to be a real world problem unless you're trying to cause it, or trying to work out its correct position on a charger as I was :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jtwlbz:
That Itian A6 does not support trickle mode charge... so be aware of...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] blazinazn:
So does that mean it'll keep charging when it reaches 100%, potentially causing the phone to overheat?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jtwlbz:
No. Charging stops when 100%. Never refill until you remove the unit from the charger. So you never get 100% battery when you check in the morning.

Trickle charging will keep topping it off to 100%.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mbegel:
I just got the Itian A6 and, while it does stop charging at 100%, it starts again once the battery drops. I use Gentle Alarm for a night clock and wake up with 100% every morning.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Namolas:
I have a question for anybody using the Nexus 6 with the Tylt Vu. I have a Choe Stadium I use every night. Works great, might charge fast ( I don't know because I'm sleeping :P ). It has an input of DC 5V/2.1amp and an output of 5v/1000mA.

I just ordered a Tylt Vu for my desk at work because using it flat on the desk sucks and I would love the 45 degree angle but the The Tylt Vu has an input of 12V / 750mA and an output of 5w. So does the Tylt Vu charge much slower than the Choe Stadium? Because that would suck.

If the Tylt is slow to charge I think I'll just cancel it because that would defeat the purpose of using it during daytime hours.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] TeeX2.0:
I have two Tylt Vu's. They charge very fast. They are advertised to charge as fast as conventional wall chargers, and I'd have to say I believe it. I've not done a timed test or anything, but I have been very impressed with how fast they charge my N6.

Expensive, but well worth my money.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Namolas:
Exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you very much.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Tsukasa Buddha:
Does anyone know the difference between CHOE's Stadium and Upgraded wireless chargers? I've only seen the Stadium mentioned on the forum. Is that the actual "upgraded" one?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Namolas:
The 2 I have purchased, and discussed in this thread, are the CHOE Stadium. Its a little bit more than the other one but the CHOE Stadium has 3 coils and I believe the CHOE Upgraded only has one coil. If it does have 3 there is no mention of it. Also the CHOE Stadium comes in a box that says "T513 UPGRADED VERSION", for whatever its worth.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Cheetohz:
I put my nexus 6 on the tylt vu at 63%, it got warm but was fully charged in just under an hour and a half.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] marctronixx:
i have a choe stadium to charge the qi stone + and i have two tylts. those tyls do charge incredibly fast over mos other qi chargers, andi have tried a healthy dose of them (blows the aukey away in charge times).

the qi stone+ also charges rather fast. i have put the phone on the stone with about 35% and in about a hour it has topped that sucker off to near 75-80%. not bad for the stone...

but yeah bro my money is on the tylt. good choice for the office!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
The TYLT charges slower for me because I'm using my Supcase which increases the distance my phone is from the coil. It takes me 3hrstp go from 20%-100%. Whether or not this is normal I can't answer that. I also use my thin TPU cases and it seems to charge faster with those.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] marctronixx:
yes that normal for any wireless charger. the further away, the more resistance so charging is less efficient.

i dont have a case on this beautiful phone so charge times for me are within wired charger stats.

regardless, the tylt is still going to charge faster than most other chargers as its designed to provide a bit more current than others, so you still made the right decision with this charger! :good:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] icephreaq:
Most wireless chargers seem to have the same guts. What you pay for them a lot of times comes down to brand name painted on it and where you get it from. Here's a pretty good comparison of some really inexpensive ones that get the job done. I have a RAVPower puck type charger that I got on sale for ~$20 on Amazon but they don't seem to have those in stock anymore. I just ordered some generic $12 each ones directly from the manufacturer in China to test. [MENTION=3746653]mmmmBACON[/MENTION] did a pretty good comparison of some under $15 Qi chargers in March of last year. Said post can be found HERE

I'm looking at purchasing a qi pad, but since I use a FlyGrip, there's some space between the phone and the pad. I saw a post here saying that 13 playing cards worked with a CHOE stadium. I'm also looking at the Itian A6 and wondered if someone that owns one would be willing to test that out. I don't mind if it's slower, I would mostly use it just to keep drain down during the day at work. I just don't want to buy something that won't work for my setup.

choe stadium
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Gage_Hero:
Bought the samsung s5 qi charger.... seems to work good position the phone.. get green flashing light... charges in about 4 hours with 5v plug in to wall... have yet to try it on usb but im sure it takes longer... only downfall is at around 98% you have to reposition the phone.. light goes green but phone isnt fully charged until you reposition it... basically pick it up... put it down on charger again.... then it finishes......all in all not a bad $40 investment...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] XabdullahX:
Does anyone know if this works with N6? I am asking because i saw MKBHD not having any luck with a specific QI charger, so maybe not everything is compatible?

Phone charges in an upright position, but struggling in landscape. However perfectly fine on my desk and lets me keep an eye on any notifications.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Liferules:
Not to be rude, but that doesn't seem a good investment of $40 if it has to be re-positioned... I have the choe stadium and have had no positioning issues--and it goes for $27 on Amazon.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ttabbal:
I ordered the choe stadium along with some quick charge compatible USB chargers. I'll find something to do with it if it can't handle the distance on my phone.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] gambit07:
Not sure where you're getting that info, but trickle charging works fine on my A6. Also, another plug for the A6! It has worked perfectly in both orientations for my N6. No overheating, always wake up with 100%. I have a tasker profile to turn on daydream mode when I have wireless charging on with the lucid daydream app as my alarm clock. Works perfect!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ttabbal:
Just to report back.. I got the Choe Stadium in. It doesn't work with a FlyGrip on the back. Not really surprised, but figured I'd try it anyway. Not the product's fault, it's just a limitation of Qi charging right now. The Stadium looks like a decent product overall though. With the rapid charging being faster than I expected, I'll just go that route.

Does your WCD-100 work in both portrait and landscape modes? I just got one today, and it works fine in portrait, but doesn't seem to charge the Nexus 6 when it's in landscape...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
That's correct mine only charges in portrait mode the last time I checked. I'll try it tonight and let you know.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] cz6y48:
These work great

I bought two of these Itian stands and they both work great.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LE6X5VU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Placement is dead simple (I only use it in portrait) and it charges just fine through my Spigen Neo Hybrid case. I haven't paid much attention to charge rate but it's enough to keep my phone topped off during the day even if I hit the office with half battery or less.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] noraef:
Would anyone know of a good landscape QI charger?

I've tried the Nillkin Energy Stone, but it's lame: much too small, hence finicky about the placement of the N6. This charger has legs to bear the phone, but it makes it stand much too high. I heated and bent those a little, and it was better (before they broke), but even then, you pretty much have to align the bottom of the phone to the right of the pad, for charging to happen.

I've ordered a Tylt VU, as there was some discount on Amazon UK, but even before receiving it, I already dislike it. I guess I'll have to lay the phone in portrait, which I think is dumb for an alarm clock (the way I intend to use the QI charging most of the time, through Daydream Launcher Plus+Secure Settings+Tasker+Bluetooth Beacon with an adjustable RSSI dimming down to -40db), as it reduces the usable screen surface (astigmatic nearsighted, here - so the bigger the bed clock, the better).

I realize it's a much easier design to have a vertical stand, and that's what annoys me: it's a lazy design. A proper landscape QI charger would probably have to implement two rows of coils, by three columns, for a total of six coils, so to have a chance at proper coupling (it only charges when both coil-less central areas of the charger and phone overlap, and the bigger that overlap, the better the energy is transferred), but it seems no one is doing such a thing, which is a blithering pity...

With vertical stands, it's simpler to align the center of the phone with the center of the stand, but damn it's a lazy way to design things...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
Just received the itian a6 as a gift. Really like it, especially after two back to back aukey luna deaths. One thing though, the instructions say to not leave the device plugged in while not using it because it may catch on fire. Wut.

Also, the instructions are hilarious.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Philip:
Does it charge the Nexus 6 in landscape mode, or only in portrait?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
Has anyone been able to wirelessly charge through a dual-layer case, perhaps?

I have a two-part case (CellBee Life Companion) on my Nexus 6 - other cases in the same ballpark would be the i-Blason Dual Layer, Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro, Ballistic Tough Jacket Maxx, etc.

My eye was on the Tylt Vu or Itian knockoff, but am open to other brands which get the job done.

EDIT

: Our TDK Q35 speaker+Qi charger can't reach through the case, nor can our Google Nexus wireless charger (2nd Gen).

- ooofest
[Nexus 6 Accessories] joshm.1219:
Supcase unicorn beetle pro even works with my weakest qi charger
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
I decided not to try that case when the subject of its integrated screen protector came up, unfortunately. I like the design, otherwise.

But, I can see why it might be more successful in wireless charging, because it doesn't seem to use an inner sleeve like other "dual-layer" cases, so much as having added padding inside the rear case. Perhaps that makes it a teeny bit thinner on the back where the antenna is located?

As I added in my post above, I actually can't charge through either of the dual-layer cases I've tried (both with inner silicone sleeves) on even my Google Nexus charging pad (2nd gen). Not sure if more powerful chargers are out there.

- ooofest

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

EDIT

:

Hm, I may be answering my own question . . . further reading of various Qi charger specs offered today (i.e., pre-Qi 1.1 and 1.2 chargers) shows a general distance of 5mm recommended from the charger to the phone's receiving coils.

With either of the CellBee or i-Blason cases on this phone, my rough measure is a distance of at least 12mm, primarily due to the protruding kickstand assembly in the center of each case back.

So, I'd need a Qi 1.1 or 1.2 charger to more reliably get enough power to this phone through the thicker cases, it seems. I'm sure exceptions exist and that 5mm is not a hard-and-fast distance, but it seems best to wait for new devices based on recent spec updates.

- ooofest
[Nexus 6 Accessories] tangiers:
I could get my i-blason dual layer to charge on the Samsung little square charger but it was very temperamental. Wouldn't charge at all on the Nokia DT desktop charger which usually works with everything. Ordered a Tylt Vu based on reviews, I will let you know if it works.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] joshm.1219:
The screen protector actually pops out easily, but I like it because it sits closer to the screen than on your typical Otterbox Defender setup, since the protector piece clips onto the device rather than a backplate around the device.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
Thanks - at the time when I was initially buying a case, there was a question of whether the Supcase protector could be cut out or not . . . so, I went with the two competing models. Since I initially liked its design and that protector can actually be popped out instead, I put it on my wishlist to combine with a future Amazon order and will see if I can have more luck after it arrives.

I also wanted to try out the Ballistic, though, so I'll still need a Qi charger that can do better than the current crop of approximately 5mm (give or take) today, it seems. Technology needs to keep up!

- ooofest

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------

Is that the DT-900 by Nokia? It and the TYLT seem to have some of the better reviews out there, so if they don't charge easily enough through a typical dual-layer case, that would seem to support the limitations in current Qi spec implementations I was reading about, unfortunately.

Yeah, I'd be interested in hearing if the TYLT has a better time with your i-Blason case on the phone, though they are one of the few charger manufacturers who specifically calll out the 5mm distance in their documentation (I like them for being honest up-front, at least). (gah - I tried to give your post Thanks and I'm out for the day, will circle back later)

- ooofest
[Nexus 6 Accessories] joshm.1219:
I have the Tylt car charger, IDK if the Vu is more powerful, but I think my DT-900 has a tiny bit more range my Tylt. I think the DT-903 is coming out pretty soon, maybe that's even better. Has other cool features as well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] cz6y48:
I have the round one from Anker, the stand style from Itian, and the iOttie dock for the car.

All of them work just fine but the Anker puck is a little tougher to position my phone on since it's so much smaller than the phone.

Note: I'm also using the Spigen Neo Hybrid case with all of these and that doesn't seem to cause a problem.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
Yeah, that looks like a nice case and it appears much thinner than the dual-layer ones (with kickstands adding to their depth) that I mentioned earlier.

I'm guessing that a successful wireless charge with today's chargers is mostly about distance from the phone's charging coil(s) and not so much the materials (well, except for metal).

The v1.1 and 1.2 specs apparently allow for an increase of effective charge distance - adding another cm or so, at the least - which would likely solve my issues in this case. But, I've seen no mention of manufacturers who plan to offer such chargers, except for maybe ConvenientPower:

[YOUTUBE]FzexhP3qWZk[/YOUTUBE]

They make units sold by other brands, such as ZENS. But, none of those branded units mention utilization of this newer technology.

In regards to using a Qi Charger with a Samsung Note 4, what would be the difference between the Choetach upgraded vs the Stadium charger besides the shape?

TYLT user here. No issues, quick and does not get hot.

We have an induction cooktop in the galley, biggest coil is like 3000W. I wonder how fast it would charge if I sat it on that. :cowboy:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
Got the Supcase Unicorn Beetle today and tried it with our TDK speaker/Qi charger - confirmed it can do wireless charging.

That said, it is also NOT a dual layer case and the fit on top has some gaps around the glass because I removed its built-in protector (having one of my own already installed). Always a tradeoff, it seems.

Really need updated spec chargers with a greater effective range.

I'd be really interested to hear if anyone with a TYLT can charge a Nexus 6 that's wearing a dual layer case. The two I have come with built-in kickstands, which I think is the part that just puts this phone out of range for chargers I've tried.

This is the first I've heard of this - the flygrip site says that it's 1/4" deep and by my eyeballing, it looks like my case with kickstand is adding up to 3/8?, so this might be close. Something to consider, thanks.
