[Nexus 6 Accessories] twofourturbo:
Everyone says the wireless charging spot is kind of hard to line up with chargers.. Has anyone tried this charger with the nexus 6 and confirm it works?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ericsignals:
How much was shipping?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] twofourturbo:
Use promo code CYBER2014 and free us postal service shipping
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ericsignals:
Have been wanting to buy one since I got my nexus 5 but could never justify the price...but $35 bucks shipped....sold....now just need my nexus 6 to ship.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nyijedi:
Damn! I just ordered 3 of those itian 6 knockoffs. Oh well. At least they seem great so far too.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ericsignals:
I almost bought one of those 2 days ago but held out hoping for a sale like this.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Roundabouts:
I've been using the Vu for a year with my Nexus 7, and on the Nexus 6 since it came in the mail. I haven't had a single charging or overheating issue. Since the Vu is a dock instead of a puck, there's no extra step of lining up the phone if you place it in portrait mode.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bjray:
Got a flat AUX cable. Was going to also get a flat USB cable but do they support fast charging? I'm guessing not since they offer data connections too.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ericsignals:
When I was researching last year for my nexus 5, you had to place it bottom then lay it back on charger or it had heating issues...hopefully nexus 6 isn't so picky
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rdalcanto:
Thanks for the heads up! I've been waiting for the Tylt to go on sale!!! Ordered two of them! :good:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rock_80:
Picked one of these up earlier this week on sale. So far its a great charger for the N6
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Jumbie:
Not working for me. Says not a valid coupon. Guess you guys got lucky cause it's not supposed to go live until midnight.

*edit

Never mind. Worked after switching to IE 11 from Chrome.

Thanks OP!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I just bought one on Amazon using a gift card I had. I may buy a second and return the Amazon one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] blitos2:
Dammit, no shipping to Spain ?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] marctronixx:
just picked up two. i have two qi-infinity desktop chargers but have heard good things about the tylt. for the price of one i get two. plus they are located not far from me here in LA..
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 3's&7's:
I did not experience this with my N5 in the last...I was able to place it any manner on the Vu w/out challenges.

Looking forward to seeing the pair work together for sure.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Jfree3000:
Thanks for the heads up, now I just need the damn phone.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Ordered a black one, now I need to send my blue one back to amazon when it arrives.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bojackr1:
Thanks just ordered 1.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ulukita:
I ordered one with the $10 off coupon from their Facebook page. This charger is awesome :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Unleaded91:
My aukey was defective. The USB cable has to be only halfway into the power adapter for the charging plate to receive power. I thought the unit was DOA since I plugged in the male USB connector all the way in and got no power or light indicator. I didn't discover the issue until I pulled the USB cable out if the power adapter and saw the light on the charging plate blink, so I tried plugging the USB cable halfway in and it worked.

Its not a good solution though.

Just FYI. I returned mine to amazon.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
That sucks the A/C adapter was defective and not the unit itself. Hopefully just a runt and not a quality issue. Get mine tomorrow. :D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Mines being delivered today so let see what happens. I still think it will be better than TYLT
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Unleaded91:
It wasnt the A/c adapter bec. It still didnt work when i tried a diff. A/c adapter. The USB cable coming from the plate isnt removable that is why i returned it.

I think the tylt will be better for me since it is more stable. The aukey wobbled a lot whenever I tried to use it. It might just be the way I use it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
Ah, well that is a little concerning. Hopefully just a dud like I said and not a quality issue. Still, 18 months warranty seems pretty good. Can always return to Amazon if I have initial issues as well.

You can lay it horizontally, which is what I plan on doing anyway. Obviously if you are applying any force to the circular design, it is going to move... Long as it doesn't roll away on it's own, shouldn't bother me.

Can't wait to see it, looks nice.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Unleaded91:
Yup. With a fully working a/c adapter or USB cable it is going to be awesome.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I got mine today (pictures coming) I'll post more about to when I finish my finals tomorrow. Its really nice, (it will tip over if you push toward the top) the COG is somewhere toward the upper top. Its a solid build from what i have seen so far.

It is a fingerprint magnet but they give you a nice cloth to wipe it off with.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Unleaded91:
How was the connection between the USB cable and a/c adapter?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
It fits fine and it works. Here is the charging time between the Aukey Luna and Mt LG WCD-100 (Aukey pic is first LG is second) their charging times were about the same and LG is a single coil from what I remember.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] marctronixx:
Nice..

so I emailed asking on the status of my order.

mind you cats earlier in this thread i received an email from the guy at tylt that my order will ship by friday last week.

emailed him monday (yesterday) and today he mails me saying "ooh didnt you get the mass email? your order is part of the second batch".

mind you i have a PERSONAL, DIRECT (not mass) EMAIL STATING MY ORDER SHIPS BY END OF WEEK FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he knew he screwed up because at the end of the email he said I can cancel my order if i wanted.

mind you i ordered on the first day!

could not cancel fast enough!!!!!

amazon has just spoiled me!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] nba1341:
Is it a simple set it and forget it with the Aukey?

I have the Nokia tiny charging pad which sucks because I have to make sure its lined up then there is no notification light to know if its charging without powering on screen then trying to power off screen making sure it doesnt move 0_o
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
Yes set and forget.

There is one thing I do not like, and I'm not positive if it is the Nexus 6 hardware or not... Maybe someone can elaborate here.

The phone stops wirelessly charging once it reaches 100%. It does not seem to resume by itself. I've woken up above 90% battery every morning, but it is frustrating nonetheless. I can see the phone gets to 100% then switches to battery and does not start charging again.

Is this normal Nexus 6 hardware behavior or is it charger dependent? I have seen people say both things in these forums and am curious as to the definitive answer.... If it is a Nexus 6 thing, can it be "fixed" via software?

Previously, I have experience with the Nexus 5 and the Nexus (not the orb) Qi charger. Every day I would wake up and my battery would be maxed out. I miss that!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] marctronixx:
has nothing to do with the charger. i have had several wireless chargers since i picked up this launch day nex 6 and once the unit get to 100 it stops. this has been discussed across this site. the aukey is not faulty. i have an aukey and a choe stadium and a qi stone+ and they all do this.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jdenman03:
My Nokia and my nexus 6 don't do this. I wake up to 100 every day.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
I will be doing an Aukey Luna review tonight of my silver unit.

Does anyone want a Choetech T511 & T513 review as well? or a overview of all three and which cases they are compatible with?

I cancelled my TYLT order yesterday. Don't believe I'll ever use them again tbh.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
Thank you. The plot thickens!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] marctronixx:
the chargers i mention do. as mentioned the aukey does it.

the % is right at 99 or so. the phone has not self discharged below that. this is my experience and i have nothing to gain from misleading this forum.

there is plenty of discussion on here that shows this phenomenon as well.

I don't mean to suggest the chargers STOP CHARGING all together, but that has not been the case.

now if the phone is slightly off the coil.. welll all bets are off.. ;)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
My phone got to 100% at 3 am today, according to battery stats. I woke up with 92 percent at 730 am. It does not resume on my end.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I woke up and mine was at 98% (stopped charging ~2 hours before I got up....)

I really want to like my Aukley but it had a really annoying buzzing noise when you use it. I have it on my nightstand and I drove me crazy last night. I ended up just using my LG one like I have been lately. I covered the very bright blue led with some tape (electrical) but you could still see it. Again I want to like it, the charger looks great but st the same time I'm rather disappointed in its short comings. The cable is also permanently attached to the charger which is bad because it makes it hard to fix should anything go wrong. It also slides around my night stand if you touch it because there is no rubber on the stand part for friction.... Sigh... I guess I'm sending it back.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
Buzzing? Sheesh, that is worrisome. Definitely haven't had that. Def send that back.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
It's not loud but it's loud enough for me to hear it when kits silent at night. Its unfortunate because the charge looks nice but I'd rather have it function and not slide around if I snooze my alarm when I'm half awake.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jdenman03:
I've used wireless charging in my n6 since day 1 (had my phone for almost 4 weeks now) and I wake up to 100 every day.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] tsy87:
does this charger work in landscape mode?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
Yes it does :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I sent back my Aukey before I took any pictures... but people have covered the looks of it in the video review posted in this section.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dusty Rhodes:
Here you go...

I haven't had any of the issues some guys are mentioning. The closest I got was waking up to a 96% charge. I checked my messages, put it back on the charger, took a shower and got dressed... and when I grabbed my phone to go downstairs it was at 100%. Total non-issue to me.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
Thanks for the pictures. Mind if I use the quoted one for my review thread?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dusty Rhodes:
Sure, go ahead!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Evo_Shift:
This is supposed to be the big week. Anyone get their shipping notification this week? Won't happen tomorrow for sure which only leaves one day. I haven't heard a peep from them.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Radicchio:
If you're talking about the Tylt Vu arriving, I got one about a week-and-a-half ago, also bought during their big 50% off sale. The only email I ever got from them was in response to my query about my order, at which time they said they would be shipping soon. Then, after about another week, it just arrived one day---no email, no shipping information provided ahead of time.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] clninja:
FYI.. I have had a tylt vu for a while now and use it every night.

Cruzerlite= charges perfectly in portrait and landscape

Urbanarmorgear = charges perfectly in portrait and landscape
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Jfree3000:
Still waiting, this is starting to turn into the wait I had just to get the phone from T-Mobile.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Evo_Shift:
Mine finally shows tracking info instead of no results. However, it only shows that a shipping label was created on 12/26. At least it is something I guess. I am hoping it actually gets shipped out today.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Fadakar:
Received mine two days ago! Ordered red. Loving it!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
I shouldn't have canceled my order. My aukey luna completely died after two weeks of use. Last night it was charging my phone... Then stopped. Completely fried and useless now.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Diviance:
I feel like by the time they finally ship mine I will have moved on to the Nexus, uh... 6X? Nexus Next? Nexus 360? Whatever. Point is, this is the last time I buy (good lord, how did "built" come out?) a product from Tilt. Seriously.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] iomthd:
Definitely my last time too, this is a pretty bad botch up they have going on.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
As much as I don't like how TYLT handled everything I resentfully bought one again because Its the best charger out there right now. I can't stand their CS but the product makes up for that. I bought mine from Verizon one sale in black to replace my Aukey Luna. I will never buy directly from TYLT again, but I will buy from other vendors like amazon because they have decent CS
[Nexus 6 Accessories] raiderep:
So I finally emailed them last night and I just got a response with a tracking number. Its out for delivery right now. I bought a red one during the sale.

Edit: website still has no info...

And further: shipped on December 23rd from so-cal and went on a journey to the east coast before coming back to nor-cal. USPS north american tour I guess...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
Lmao. Perfectly reasonable.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] iomthd:
Response from them.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ztmike:
I just put a order in the other day on Amazon for a black one and its shipped coming from California should be here by this Saturday in Indiana. Looked into that Aukey Luna wireless charger and its out of stock everywhere I looked besides someone selling one on Amazon for $100 or more..no thanks. Bought the Vu for $60 should serve me well for a long time.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Diviance:
I have emailed them four times since Christmas and, despite my dislike of the service, sent them three messages on Twitter. Guess how many responses I have gotten?

If you guessed zero, you win! You don't win anything, but you can call yourself a winner if you like.

Congratulations, Tylt. You have driven off someone who could have been a longtime customer by completely lacking any customer service skills as a company. Comcast has better customer service.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] raiderep:
I'm sorry to hear that, I must have gotten lucky to get such a fast response from them. Mine came today and it is a really nice charger and works well. Its too bad that such a nice product isn't being backed up with good customer relations like I keep hearing.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Diviance:
Almost all of the negative feelings, from me anyway, could have been mitigated simply by a periodic, once a week or so, email to those who are backordered with updates on things.

Well, that and letting those of us who are backordered know that we are backordered. I haven't gotten a single one of these "mass emails" they send out either.

Just awful.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 3's&7's:
Hi, OP here and feeling a bit guilty I helped drag you all into this sale, lol.

Mine arrived 12.31.14, runs like a champ.

I'm using 3 spigen cases right now, only tested the slim armor case first as it's the most challenging.

Very solid performance even though this case really doesn't allow for laying flush on the charging pad.

I'm trying the neo hybrid tomorrow and the slim fit by the end of the week.

I'm expecting best performance from the slim fit.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Jfree3000:
Just got mine a few days ago. First qi charger I have every used and it works great. Using it with my ringke Max with zero issues. Works fine in portrait and landscape. Customer service was lacking though.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Diviance:
They finally got back to me today, saying the black Vu's will be another month or so, would I prefer one of the other colors?

My patience is nearly gone already, so I told them to just send me a red or a blue one. Don't care which, they are both acceptable hues. Not the green, though. Don't like the green.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] iomthd:
I'm still waiting for my blue
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I'm glad that I canceled my black one when they told me that it should ship after 12/25. I bought one from VZW during a sale for the holidays with free overnight shipping for $45 (I also had a discount) for my black TYLT. I would not order from them directly again after this mess.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] pntless:
I got the same email less than a week after they told me that they had received stock and my order would 'definitely' be shipped within a week. I finally canceled and ordered another Itian A6 instead which has already arrived 2 days later.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mallman:
i got mine a week ago and its already stopped working. mine was junk
[Nexus 6 Accessories] iomthd:
Supposedly my shipping has been upgraded because of the delay
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jj14:
After a longer than expected delay, and 3 Emails to them, I finally got my charger a few days ago. Compared to the Nokia DT900/910, this charges significantly faster (dare I say, almost as fast as the wall charger!). The Nokia chargers do not cause any noticeable heat on my phones, but this Tylt does cause my battery to feel a little warm to the touch, which worries me. But, other than that, the charger works good!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] NWKENT:
I have owned (2) black edition TYLT's for about eight months now, use them both nightly, couldn't be happier..and plan to add another..with wireless charging, one can expect heat gain, my devices from a 20% charge state to 100%, the temp can reach 118°-121°..its the nature of wireless charging..but at a higher charge state, the temps will be usually lower, for example, 50% battery state, to 100%, may reach only 90°-100°..

Samsung charger

I bought this one from BestBuy.ca http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung...-pad/7250019.p?id=1219260610497&skuId=7250019 the price was 39.99, I see BestBuy US has it at 49.99 but free shipping... works like a charm, tried both with USB and 5v adapter.... you do need your own cable though as one is not in the box, least wasn't in mine. The light flashes green when the phone is positioned properly, orange if not and solid green when done...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sgloki77:
welp, I got my Tylt Thanksgiving sale charger in the mail about a week ago, and just crap out yesterday WTF

it shows a red led light on all the time and it won't charge, anybody else got a ****ty one?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] garyart1:
About 2 weeks ago I finally got my Vu ordered during Black Friday. It was DOA. I called them and they were great to send me out another one right away (had to choose red over the original black). Second one arrived and it is DOA. I already have a Vu so I know it is the new charger and not the phone or AC adapter. Well back to calling them. I am wondering if in the rush to fulfill the back log of orders, QC has been compromised. My original has not had issues other than being a little noisy (a barely noticeable hum).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
Maybe they had to scale up production to meet the demand for the orders and had production and QC issues. My Vu works fine but I bought it from VZW on sale.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] carsenj:
Received mine as a gift for Christmas. Been using it since and no problems to report. As someone else stated it charges nearly as fast as the factory charger.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] CraigP17:
what a mess this has been, glad i picked mine up from Staples on clearance back in November. still working perfectly.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sgloki77:
I called them up for a replacement and they said, no black color available for the next few months so I had to pick another color, last time I'm buying anything from this company, sucky all around experience
[Nexus 6 Accessories] NWKENT:
I'm sorry you have had so much difficulty.. TYLT had a booth in the CES trade show, with new product line, they must be focused on this, instead of keeping up their past products..

I have two black TYLT's and adore them..but I've had them for almost one year now, maybe the later production was a lot of faulty builds..

I'm certainly interested in the new vehicle dock/charger line that they have..but caution will certainly be applied before my next purchase..

But on the other hand..I have a ver.#1 "Air Dock" and ver. #2 will be available soon..SO..options are always nice..

"Praise Jah" YOU people.!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] tmuka:
Bummed. I got this reply to my status inquiry email today.

I'd be okay with waiting for the next shipment, but the credit card pdf to complete and return seems a little questionable... did anyone else get that?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] NWKENT:
Being "Bummed" is absolutely understandable..why are they requesting more money, haven't you paid enuff already..seems as thow, they would be the one to go out on a limb, and send you a device, that isn't even the color you chose to begin with, and even give you a store credit of some value..Gee..that's not good business where I'm from.?

I hope you get a good one, and benefit in some way..

"Praise Jah" YOU people.!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] iomthd:
I decided to just cancel my order today. Can't take it anymore.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 98HTTR91:
Got my 2 black ones last week. One for my nightstand and one for my desk in the office. Loving them so far.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] 3's&7's:
Wow, so sorry its taken this long!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] El Daddy:
I still haven't received mine after ordering on 11/27. Finally emailed them today asking for a status. I'll probably cancel if it doesn't ship soon. I already have 3 Qi chargers laying around. :)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] aiiee:
Tylt seems like a flake outfit to me. Been advertising the car unit for *months* with no price or production date in sight. No response to emails. F*L*A*K*E
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
They said the price will be 79.99 at CES. They also ha e another qi charging pad (flat not angled) which should come out with it. I like my TYLT even though I don't like the company. I will buy their products from amazon but never directly from them again.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] danarama:
Has anyone any experience with the trickle charging on the vu? Its supposed to. Just wondering if its OK with the nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I'm assuming that you mean will it keep charging after it hits 100%. Mine is always at 99-100% when I wake up so it does trickle charge. I goto bed around 0000-0100 and it says it needs 2-3 hours for a full charge and I wake up at 0545 everyday. When I get up it says it's been awake for at most 10 minutes. I hope this helps out.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] danarama:
Thanks...

My Nokia Qi doesn't trickle charge. It just turns off charging for some time then turns it on again. Its always 100% but it isn't trickle charge. The Vu apparently does trickle charge, by just trickling power through gently at the end until you pick it up.

The reason this is important to me is I want to use daydream. But it triggers when on charge and stops when not on charge. When he Nokia qi stops charging, the display stops showing daydream so my clock isn't shown. Trickle charge like a USB cable would solve this for me...but I dont want to spend 60 quid if it doesn't work out.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I agree, I wouldn't want to waste money on an item that I wasn't sure about either. I can test out the day dream function for you if you like to see if it works the way you will use it. Let me know and I will happily test it out.
