Oh, I believe you - I'm just wondering how that translates to charging through a slightly longer distance and with two types of materials (i.e., dual-layer case).

I'm willing to try the Nokia 910 if nobody else here with that style of case has done so, will report back.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] tangiers:
I can confirm that the Tylt Vu works perfectly with the i-blason dual layer case. No need to position it to get it to work and it works every time.

Now I have to buy a second one for the office.... So expensive, especially with the shipping to Australia... And especially since I have 2 Nokia, a Nexus and a Samsung charger which are all redundant now! This really is the only charger to go for though. Wished I had known that in the beginning.....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] lightfire:
I just pulled out my Nexus Qi Charger that I had with the Nexus 5.

Doesn't work - at all - with the Nexus 6.

I wonder if I don't have Qi charging on my new Nexus 6 or if the charger "all of a sudden" quit working. Don't know of any way to find out without purchasing one that has been reported to work. I assume that this charger is SUPPOSED to work with the nexus 6 - is this wrong?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] C0dy:
The Nexus Wireless Charger barely works with the Nexus 6. You have to have it dead center or it won't work.

Check out 'Back of Nexus 6' towards the bottom of the page.

https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6102554?hl=en&ref_topic=3415470

I've found it works best when you put the letter 'U' on the back of the phone towards the center of the Qi charging block it works best.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
I was about to order a Nokia 910 but then revisited this topic, and here's your confirmation of the Tylt . . . since that's the only confirmed wireless charging with a dual layer case that I've seen, I'll try a Tylt first.

- ooofest
[Nexus 6 Accessories] tangiers:
Yep, I can confirm that the Tylt Vu has been working fantastically with my i-blasson case. Very happy with it. Could not get the Nokia DT 910 to work with it (it did work with a Spigen Hybrid case though).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] GerooTech:
I Just got my Nexus Wireless charger and i tried your trick still can not get it to work at all. I have tried the RAV Power before and it was working fine with no issues.

Is there any wireless charger that can do turbo charge for the Nexus 6 ??
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ak47nerd:
I use the CHOE Stadium Wireless Charge with 3-Coils for my Nexus 6, and it works pretty well for overnight charging. No risk of overcharging, and its a matter of picking it up and you're off.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] guitardoc64:
+1 for the CHOE. I got one 2 weeks ago and it works a treat.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
My new Tylt came in today and I placed the Nexus 6 - still in its CelBee Life Companion dual-layer case - on top and it immediately started charging.

Thanks to tangiers for the reference.

Nice to have a wireless charger that can handle all of our phones, including those of people who visit, and our other Qi-compatible devices (e.g., we also have a Nexus 7 tablet).

I love my TYLT wireless charging dock as well. Best one that I have tested so far.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] FoneWatcher:
I have been using this el-cheapo and it works fine with my N6 w/ Naked Tough acrylic case if I use my TurboCharger adapter. And it charges surprisingly fast. eBay item Discliamer: I have no connection with them other than satisfied buyer.

NOTE: At first I though the unit was defective (which didn't surprise me, what did I expect for USD 7?), but you have to place the N6 on a particular spot on the charger, about 2/3 down on the body. I'm not sure if it's because of the case I have, but you can see when the LED on the charger switches to blue from red and you know it's charging. It easily charges it to full from 10% in about an hour using the Turbo adapter. I haven't tried with a regular adapter.

VERY happy with my $7 Qi charger and am ordering another.

Anyone any experience with this pad http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00...ss+charger&dpPl=1&dpID=41C4uMg8YBL&ref=plSrch
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Nacho~:
So has anyone succesfully gotten a qi charger to work on the N6 with a SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Pro case? I love this case for its thickness and would rather forget about wireless charging than change cases if i had to make the choice.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ooofest:
That case works on TYLT for me.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] Knight-Rider:
It's trash i bought one and didn't work, not from this seller but another. Light blinked from red to blue and never really charged even after positioning the phone several ways.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] FoneWatcher:
You have to have an idea where the transducer plate is inside the phone. I figured out the placement zone after a minute or so by just moving it around until it hit blue, but then I happed upon the ifixit teardown and saw exactly where it is.

It's easy when you get the hang of it and the blinking red/blue just means you're not near enough over the transducer.

I'm blue every time. and it charges FAST, stops charging when full and still works like a charm. For 6 bucks.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] pauper66:
Hello. Long time lurker and site fan here. I think the last time I posted was in the days of the HTC Titan.

Anyway, just wanted to add my experience with wireless charging. I cam in here with some questions, but those were answered as I read through the first 13 pages here. Big thanks to all of you here.

I just got the Nexus 5, and I bought VZW's Qi stand. The curve of the N6 is not an issue at all. In landscape mode, I have to have the phone slightly off center to charge. About a 60/40 split.

My first experience charging it, it seemed to take about 3 hrs or so. I wasn't really paying attention. I was happy with that. Seems reasonable.

But last night, I set it on the charger at 60% and 5 hrs later when I got up, it had only charged to 85%. That seemed odd, and this was the first place I came to find an answer: Daydream.

That was the only thing I really changed. Didn't have it on the first time. had it on last night. So in my limited experience and knowledge, I tend to concur that daydream does stop the charge process. I turned it off, and now my phone seems to be charging at about 5% per 10 minutes, +/-.

As it was overnight, I couldn't see what was going on. But as I was reading here, I had Daydream on and qi charging. I noticed my battery level was going nowhere, and in some glances, I seen "not charging" displayed, and battery temp was up to 110f, and phone felt very warm.

Turned daydream off, and problems solved.

Other observations, no matter what the battery level, the phone ALWAYS turns on from powered off when I place it on the charger. (unless it's completely depleted). I don't mind this, but wish it would stay off when I want it off.

The LED on the charger is red (VZW...go figure), but it is not obnoxiously bright, and not an issue at night.

And one final thing...I've bits here and there about the N6 hidden LED. I ran my phone totally dead just to see what it would handle (5 hrs of netflix), and the green LED lit when I place it on the charger. But only until the battery icon came on the screen-less than ten seconds. And then not long at all after that, the phone powered up again.

Sorry for the long post, but it was easier than multi-quoting a bunch.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] FoneWatcher:
The hunt is over....

I bought this case, which I love and refuse to use any others, but it was too thick for my cheap Qi chargers to penetrate. Then I saw a recco on reviews for this triple-coil job and it charges it up right through the massively-thick case, no problem, every time. My N6/massively protective case that I love/Qi wireless charging from TurboCharger is solved! /problem.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sarreq:
and remember you little unboxing knife... :laugh:

this can be gotten for $47 now
[Nexus 6 Accessories] cz6y48:
My Nexus 6 always powers up when placed on any wireless charger so I assume that something needs to be running to charge.

I solved my battery issues by putting a half dozen wireless chargers around my home, work, and car. I find that I'm rarely away from a charger long enough to run my battery down as long as I keep it topped up.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] quadcrap1:
I've tried at least a dozen portable Qi chargers, and the Nokia DT-900 is easily the best one I've used. By best, I mean least sensitive to the orientation of the phone with the charger.

I would stay away from all the no-name charging pads, none of which are very good (in my experience).

The very best charging platform I have is the JBL/Nokia bluetooth speaker that has a Qi landing docking on top. That works amazingly well (and doubles as a speaker). But it's not portable.

---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

I use the DT-900 with a Nexus 6, stock Marshmallow, and do not have this problem. When you place the phone on the DT-900, a few seconds later you'll get the recognition ding on the phone noting that charging has been activated, and that's it. The phone display does notstay on. And the charger, unlike some crappier models, will continue to trickle charge once the phone is fully charged.

A nice thing about the DT-900 is that it has three coils, so it's much more forgiving regarding placement of your phone.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jpeckinp:
I've been using this one and it has been great. 3 coils and sets up. I have a Siedio Dilex case on mine also.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] monojackh:
Looks like there's a lot of fans of Tylt Vu, will probably pick up one to try it out.

Anyone has any experience on a Qi charger with portable batteries built in? So you can take it around without a cable most of the time?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] electricpete1:
Here's what I did

I bought three things:

1 - Kmashi 15,000 milliAmp-hour power pack ($20, delivered)

2 - USB fan with flexible goose neck ("usb clock fan") ($8.50, delivered)

3 - Insignia wirless charging pad from Best Buy $40 - (I know there are cheaper options... this charger was an impulse buy)

Items 2 and 3 are powered from item 1​

I superglued a bent metal strip onto bottom of charging pad to hold the phone at the right height for charging, so I don't have to fuss with placement.

I added a spacer superglued to the bent metal strip, to create a space for air to flow between the power pack and the wireless charger.

Fan gooseneck is bent in a U shape back towards the charger, cooling both the phone and the wireless charging pad. (I believe keeping the charging pad cool helps keep the phone/battery cool since they are in close contact).

Results: net charge rate approx 17%/hr with screeen on (daydream mode) and battery temperature remains 95F with 75F room temperature

The whole thing can be picked up and used while charging/cooling, or easily carried to another place and set down.

The fan makes the whole thing a little bigger than some might prefer... that's optional depending on your preferences (considering the battery is not very easy to replaced, I personally go the extra mile to keep the battery cool whenver I can do so conveniently). I'm looking for another fan that doesn't have that LED clock display... it's somewhat distracting, and if I ever took it outside my house I'd probably have to unplug the fan and leave it behind (to avoid being noticed and laughed at!)

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

I realize it's been awhile since you posted. My observation after all of two weeks is that the net charging rate is simply the no-load charging rate minus whatever is used by the phone. Daydream prevents the phone from going into doze and uses a tiny bit of screen power for me. For me that's about 3% per hour (there are apps to display headlines/pictures etc on your daydream screen, obviously they'll use more).

If I charge with phone screen off I get about 20% per hour and in daydream I get about 17% per hour.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bubblyboo:
Been using my Nokia DT-910 since Nexus 5 days. Love the thing. Definitely will not change to a new phone that doesn't have Qi charging.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] raider5oh:
Any one have an AirDock? I emailed them and they said they are waiting for their Nexus 6 for testing. Just worried about the phone sticking to the charger with the curved back. A version 2 is in the works

[Nexus 6 Accessories] frigidazzi:
If you want a cheap clone of the Tylt Vu I just bought this one for 25 bucks and prime shipping on amazon. Works great so far. I only wish the angle was a little higher, but I have the same complaint with th Tylt Vu. Tested with Nexus 4, 5, and 7.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] sanjsrik:
I won't buy a round one anymore. Used one for my note 3. Freaking nightmare finding the sweet spot for charging. I went and bought one that is rectangular and it worked much better as it didn't require me to do so much fiddling for finding the correct lineup for charging.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ryude:
I just received a charging pad from a company for me to review. I don't have a phone that works with wireless charging right now so I have to wait for the N6 to arrive. Those who already have a charging pad, can you tell me what I should be looking for to determine it's quality/usability?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bjray:
Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep that in-mind.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dicecuber:
Yes
[Nexus 6 Accessories] marctronixx:
be gentle with a brotha...

is it foolish to think Google will release a charging pad for the nexus 6? im totally new to wireless charging and the nexus family.

OR is there an OEM charging device for the nexus phone line ?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Illrigger:
If they do, it will be overpriced. Qi is a standard, so there's no reason to spend Google prices for a charger. Any of the ones mentioned in this thread will work just as well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] marctronixx:
many thanks for your response! That is what i needed to know.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] hutzdani:
This one OFC, its cheaper than most other 3rd party decent ones its hefty and made of glass, it also comes with the good customer support from google.

I have had several QI chargers and these are the best so far price wise, if you pay any less you get ****, i had an Offical LG one and that broke aswell
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sanjsrik:
Thank you, who makes it?

Do you have a link for this one or who is selling it? Not completely sure who the manufacturer is or is it Google is that what you're saying? One more question, how do they break? Mine sits on my desk and doesn't move, what part broke?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] thrillerbee:
It's on the Play Store for $50: https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_Wireless_Charger?id=nexus_wireless_charger&hl=en
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Illrigger:
That's my question as well - what broke? These are not complex devices, just a couple of ICs, capacitors, and coils of copper wire; the power adapter is probably a more technically complicated item than the charger. His report of breakage is the first I have heard from any source. The Google one is very attractive, I will give that to you, but $50 for what looks to be a single-coil charger is pretty expensive.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Does anyone else have the LG WCD-100 and know if it will work for the Nexus 6?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dr. Burgle:
I looked into a number of Qi charges as well, ended up getting 2 of the Tylt Vu chargers.

They are built very well.

I also got a Nokia DT-900 just to have in the living room since it was cheaper.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] marctronixx:
picked up three ...

two 3 coil qi stands - one for the house and one for the job

and a nexus 5 qi charger for the car...

stick a fork in me...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Namolas:
That is absolutely beautiful but I would never dare place my naked Nexus 6 on it. I'd have to put a doll rug on it or something! :eek:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 9e705ebbf0:
That's interesting. I thought Anker made their own gear, but this is clearly a rebranded OEM. The exact same device is for sale on amazon from EC Technology
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Illrigger:
Normally I would just say yes because a Qi charger is a Qi charger, but the fact that the LG OEM one is a single coil charger designed to line up with where the receive coil is on a specific phone brings some doubt into the situation. If the coils don't line up, the charger either will only trickle power into the phone or not work at all. That's why the Tylt Vu/Itien A6 is such a good unit for holding your phone at an angle - it has three coils so no matter where the phone's coil is, one of them will be close enough. If you are going to go with a single coil charger, get a flat one so you can align the phone properly.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I had that Anker one and it worked well but it went with my F460S when I sold it. I might buy another one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] IRX120:
Personally I like the official Nexus Wireless Charger. Its small, and looks good sitting on my desk. I rarely use it tho, just not much of a neccicity for me.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] buddhafool:
I too have never had a wireless charger. Do they have magnets for alignment?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Illrigger:
Some do, but not many phones have the plate/magnets on their end to make use of them. Some chargers have multiple coils so you don't have to worry about alignment. Some you have to find the right place yourself.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Tidbits:
This is what I use. Not sure how well it'll work for the N6 but worked on the N4 and 5 as well a various Nokia, Samsung, and LG devices.

Little Qi charging info for the Nexus 6. Start at 10:59

[YOUTUBE]RoAPTdvgAJg?t=10m59s[/YOUTUBE]
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Rodeojones:
I'm curious about this. I saw the review and his mention of lack of success getting wireless charging to work. Can anyone confirm that it's working? I get the impression that many of us don't yet have the device (at least that's the case for me).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Update the LG WCD-100 DOES work and that's with a Spigen Neo Hybrid case on my Nexus 6. I'm glad that I don't need to buy another charger now. But the turbo charger works so fast 10%-100% in 70 minutes.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kornklown69:
will be doing a review on a qi charger a company asked me to review for them as soon as i receive the n6 works awesome on my n5
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
What company if you don't mind me asking.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bjray:
I finally decided on the CHOE Stadium Qi Wireless Charger

3-Coils wide ✓

Pad type (not round) ✓

Good price ✓

Will report its performance as soon as my N6 arrives.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] litrekid:
When can we expect the newer generation wireless chargers that r supposed to charge faster.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Namolas:
That actually looks really good to me. I was originally going to go with the RAVPower pad but I think I like this one better. Thanks for sharing.

EDIT: I have a quick question. Is it bad to leave your phone on these pads overnight? Because that is how I would like to use it. :eek:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dr Faustus:
Usually with Qi Wireless Charging once the device hits 100% Charge (or near 100% depending on cheaper chargers) the charge stops on the device for a little while then starts up again once charge has dropped off in standby mode (think 5/10% charge drop it will activate and charge it to full/near full again).

Its basically cycle charging once its full. Not harmful to leave overnight (some cases its actually better than leaving it on USB charge overnight).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Namolas:
Thats good to hear. I might have to pick up a couple of these then. I have left my phone plugged in overnight, every night for as long as I can remember. I look forward to just dropping it on at night and just picking it up and going in the morning.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I used qi to charge mine last night without issues. Is slower than the turbo charger but much better because I hate plugging my phone in.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sanjsrik:
How does it stay flat?

I have a question, how does the N6 not fall over on this pad? Isn't the charger here flat and the N6 rounded in back?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bjray:
It shouldn't fall over since it sits just fine on flat surfaces and the Qi charger I chose is pretty wide so it should be fine.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sanjsrik:
thank you.

Thanks for the quick feedback. I have a yellow round qi charger that I use, I think I'll try that one first, but I do like the one you ordered.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] RandoTheKing:
Doesn't include AC adaptor. That's a no-go for me, I don't feel like messing with it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bjray:
Yeah I'll just use my S4 adaptor. Although I don't think I'll even use the turbo charger that much.

EDIT: Wait, is the turbocharger even compatible? Could it over load it some kind of way?

Actually I believe it would drop the charge to 1.6A... Ugh
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
The turbo charger charges at the normal rate unless the chip set retests more so a qi charger will work fine with it assuming it's powerful enough.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Zer0_Cool:
I scooped a PowerBot PB1022 for $15 shipped with a discount code I saw on reddit. Apparently it's got 3 coils.

Code is: W9KX8MGA

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KKJ0M7C
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Namolas:
When you saw it on Reddit do you know if anybody has tried it with the Nexus 6? I'd be very interested is seeing how it has to be positioned to start charging. The reason I ask is because I was originally looking for a smaller Qi charger like this but was concerned with being able to balance it with the curved back and after hearing that the charger reception points are in the bottom 2.5" of the Nexus 6.

The one I ended up ordering is a little wider and about 2x the length of this one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Zer0_Cool:
no, hardly anyone even has theirs yet. The n6 is about 16cm, and this is 6.5cm, so it would hang 4.75cm over on each end if that helps. If it ends up being no good I'll just return it. I wasn't even going to buy one since it comes with a turbo charger but it was so cheap I just snagged it for my desk.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Liferules:
Anyone know if the Nexus 6 has the same capabilities as the Nexus 4 and 5 regarding the Nexus Qi pad? Whereby it magnetically attaches so it always hits the "right spot"?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I haven't noticed and magnets when I held up a small one to the back of my phone. I don't have the official charger but the magnet wasn't attracted to any point on the back. I have a neodymium one that I could try it's small but it will find any magnets easily.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] youareme7:
My thoughts on my first night are bigger chargers/stands are going to be the best for convenience. I have 3 of the old nokia qi chargers that are shaped like small ovals and while the phone will charge on it, it is very precarious. It's literally balancing on this tiny raised circle in the middle of the pad. I wouldn't trust that for overnight.

It actually charged overnight on the old Nexus 4 "sliced circle" charger but it was finicky getting it into place; sadly not something I want to try to do in the dark.

I ran a small fridge type magnet around the back and though it is weakly attracted I very much doubt anything is going to snap hold of it.

I'm thinking for my night stand one of those 3 coil charging stands like this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Keedox®-Wirel...879&sr=1-3&keywords=Qi+Wireless+3-Coils+Stand

Hopefully that will work without being too picky. Otherwise I'll have to find a large flat pad type.
