Aukey Luna | App​
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dadoc04:
Thanks for the app link...

Charger Works great with my diztronic tpu case also

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Crosserson:
Nice review. I have 2 of these units and tested them on the Nexus 5 since I don't have my 6 yet. I had no issues with Rinkge slim case either. I agree the charger is a great piece of hardware and I like the fact it is big enough for the Nexus 6. I do have a 2012 Nexus 7 and although it does not have wireless charging it still fit with no problems.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
Welcome! I completely forgot to talk about it in the video.

Yes, it's build quality is quite great. Nice to know it is compatible with most cases. Even very durable thick cases as well, although it seems to have issue in vertical mode with the bulkier types.

aukey Luna

Recently bought this charger... Not sure how trustworthy this is will this mess up my battery? Anyone had any problems or complaints? I am using a nexus 6.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bulldog212:
I bought this charger and was sent a used model. No plastic on the disc and scuffs all over. Very disappointed.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
The plastic sleeve is on really good. I strongly suggest you to try to remove it again. It is not used. I'm 90% sure. that is the plastic you are seeing scuffed.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bulldog212:
You are right. I'm a huge tool. I thought I picked at the edges hard enough before posting but found a softer spot around the foot insert. Thank you.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
:good:

Enjoy it, great wireless charger.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Crosserson:
Don't feel bad, I had a hard time getting the plastic off as well. I knew it was there though. I almost threw out the box as well before I saw this video showing the manual and soft cloth.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Gater2011:
I also purchased this charger and I love it..It seems to charge the Nexus substantially slower though.. What's your guys thoughts on it?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] inffy:
Wireless charging is way more slower than using the Turbo or even normal wall charger.

The output with wireless is max 500mA so it will take long time if you are expecting to charge your battery full
[Nexus 6 Accessories] tall--man:
wireless charger its like fast charger ?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
No. Read the post above yours...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
It can take 2A input and output 700mAh at least per reviews. If you're getting 500mAh then you're limited by your power brick
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ripped85:
Charges really slow. Phone at 30% before sleep at 11pm wake up at 7 not even at 100%
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dusty Rhodes:
Try a stronger adapter or something, because my phone charges in a few hours from 20%.

I can't tell you how fast because I'm asleep, but I know it doesn't take more than 3 hours.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ripped85:
seems I found the problem. Every Morning I wake up the battery is at 95% from the charger. I don't know why i stops at 95% and doesn't go to 100%.

I have restarted and will try again tonight.

any suggestions?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
I woke up at 87% this morning as my phone was nearly full when I went to bed. More concerning is why I have so much battery drain.. But yes, once my phone reaches full charge it does *not* resume unless I remove it from the charger and put it back on. Really grinding my gears!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Radicchio:
I know that, with some wireless chargers, there have been problems in the past with overheating. If you have to leave the phone on the Aukey Luna charger for a long time to get it charged, have you experienced any overheating issues?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Lw00d:
hi fellow xda members

i am planing on buying this Qi pad.. i am going to place it on my night stand.. is there a app for N6 to make it like a clock ..i want my N6 to replace my digital clock.

thanks guys ..
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rayzaname:
Aukey makes an app specifically for that purpose. See here... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aukey.mobile.luna
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jdenman03:
Assuming this utilizes a NFC tag is there anyway to reprogram the tag? The app is awful!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ripped85:
after doing a little research, it seems that some wireless chargers do not charge the phone to 100% because of the trickle charge on some phones (Ex nexus 6). it charges to 100% then it drops to 95% then it should in theory charge to 100% again but this hasn't been the case for the aukey luna because it stops charging when it thinks the phone is at 100%.

can anyone confirm this?

or has anyone been able to work around this issue without waking up and redock?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
Use daydream when charging?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bulldog212:
That's what I do...use daydream. The Aukey app offers nothing more.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Lw00d:
cool i will try daydream
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rayzaname:
I'm noticing this as well, so I'm thinking about returning it. That design makes it hard though!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
I got mine yesterday and tried overnight last night. Same dealio here.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Lw00d:
sold out at Amazon.. damn.. :(
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Radicchio:
Is 10-13 per cent decrease in battery overnight normal? If, for example, you have your phone fully charged before you go to bed and don't put it on the charger, will it lose 10-13 per cent of battery overnight?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
Seems rather high to me, but it depends on what apps you are running and ROM etc.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Radicchio:
Another question: Is it true that the Nexus 6 will turn on to charge, even if you have turned it off beforehand? I still have a landline, so usually like to turn off phones and tablets to charge . Or maybe it's a Lollipop thing?

Anyway, I'd appreciate if someone could tell me if that is true or not. I did get one of these chargers, in anticipation of getting a N6 (or some other phone capable of wireless charging) soon. If the phone can be charged while turned off, it seems that it would eliminate the issue with it draining the battery after it's finished charging.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bluemgt06:
Thanks to your comment I found the manual and cloth. Thanks a lot!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] tsy87:
I tried this charger out but for some reason, it would not charge my n6 when horizontal.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jbdan:
It charges mine great even with the ringke slim on it. Although you do have to off center the phone a little towards the bottom as in the video review
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
This charger just completely died on me. My phone is set to daydream the clock while charging, I glanced at the time and noticed there was no time... I turned on the screen.. Not charging.

I have tried different outlets, different wall adapters, different phone placement (in case one coil went bad). It is completely dead. I have a second one that I just tested on and it started charging immediately.... So, this sucks. Lasted two weeks? Thanks Aukey!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
I just received a response from Aukey in regards to why the charger stops charging at 100%. As explained by "Melinda" this is a "feature":

"Thanks for your reply.

Please let me explain first.

THe item is invented with a new tech called No-load Protection

WHen the battery is fully charged the item stop charging to protect your phone.

Not like a normal charger we use this tech to offer a more safe charging mode.

Unlike the usually way we charge battery ,we are used to take away a 100% charging phone over all night charge ,which actually not safe also have a long time negative influence over battery.

IT is the highlight of this charger not a backwards.

Lots of customer does not familar with the new tech and though it is defective .

As for your problem ,the item stop working totally it is the first time we meet .thus we want to send you a new one to try again.

but it is how it works that stop charging when you phone is fully charged and you have to reput it on again to avoid persistent long term charging so shorten the left of your battery.

Sincerely,

Melinda"

What do you guys think? I guess I could see how it could be good for the longevity of the battery... I just wish it would start charging again at some point on its own.. Say 95 % or something...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] CyclingDev:
Sounds like marketing spiel to me. Quite a few wireless chargers can "trickle charge", maintaining battery level at 100%, just like a wired charger would.

However, some other wireless chargers keep pumping exact same amount of power onto the phone even when at 100% when the phone does not need it, making battery heat up and possibly damaging said battery in the long run.

Aukey appear to take the step in-between, although I doubt it's convenient, sounds more like pain.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
Although it may be annoying, I don't really see it as that bad. It is only a few % loss overnight.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] CyclingDev:
Feels like a step back from trickle charging, in my view.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
Another response from aukey after telling them that I'd like to just get a refund. Looks like they want me to change my amazon review? Can't really decipher.

I told them that the way the charger works (stopping completely at 100%) is unfortunate and this was the reply... Maybe ready for prime time with future revisions?

"THanks for your update.

We are so sorry the tech does not fit for you ,we have forwarded your issue to our supplier

so that they can make improvement* next patch.

As for you case we like to fully refund you ,and you dont need to send the item back.

Is this solution acceptable to you ?

If yes,would you please update the situation on amazon so other can contact us first for a better solution before they left a comments?

We will try our best to serve you ."
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stas333:
It is sad to hear about the charger not charging to 100%. My CHOE stadium qi charger charges to 100 and then stops. Yesterday i woke up and it was 100. Today was at 99%. It does stop charging at 100% and doesnt resume, well i really dont know when since this is my 2nd day using it. But either way, i am not seeing more than 2-4% drop overnight when the phone is not on any kind of a charger.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rayzaname:
My understanding from other reviews is that the CHOE Stadium will stop at 100%, then resume once the battery percentage falls a bit. I just ordered this to replace my Luna, so I hope this is the case.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] stas333:
thats how i understood it also. i just dont know when it begins recharging
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
The Luna gets stuck in charge mode or the LED will stay on and will no longer charge my devices quite a bit. I have to unplug the A/C adapter to reset it. Very disappointing charger for the price. Will post a revisited review & sending it back for a refund.

Sticking with Choetech.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] lostnuke:
Sadly, my charger stopped working yesterday. 2 weeks. Returning it to amazon.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
Seems like a trend. It is interesting that this charger had an essentially 5 star reputation once it came to this forum. However, all of those people got the unit for free and wrote "fair and unbiased reviews" in return (I wrote this same thing then). Now that actual people have it in their hand, the reviews are slipping lower each day.

I absolutely loved this charger. For two weeks. Then it went belly up. Because less than a month of longevity seems to be the common factor here, I will be returning the 2nd one someone got me as a gift. It is a major bummer and makes me upset that I canceled my half off Tylt Vu!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
Looks like it is no longer fufilled by Amazon. They are only doing manual direct fufillment, and now charging $99 for it? LoL good luck with that.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
It is a trend of lots of these accessories. Dirt cheap and Prime to get some reviews and lots of sales....then cancel the Prime and jack the price up back to "normal".
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
Shame, isn't it? Happens all too many times. I love how one guy actually said in the reviews "I got this one free to test". Finally someone honest.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
It's worth free, lol. I sent mine back to Amazon for refund. Not worth $40 and $100 is laughable.

Shame it has so many issues. Beautiful in terms of design, horrible in terms of functionality.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jdenman03:
Mine stopped working today. Sending it back for a refund. I'll jus get the tylt I guess now.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] N166A LOG1K:
I also sent mine back. The Wireless charge technology isn't there yet. It's slow as hell compared to your quick charger.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
It not meant to be extremely fast, but it is nice to use overnight when you are tired and don't want to plug the phone in. Its also convenient for some people ( I only use the fast charger when I really need to now)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
Until it dies. Give it a few more days
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
I haven't had a qi charger die yet. I still have my original LG WCD-100 which is the one made for the G3. I've had if for 6 months and its running strong. The TYLT is 3 weeks old and no issues either. I use it every night in fact I'm using it as I type this. My Aukey went back because it wouldn't stay put on my night stand and it made a loud buzzing noise while cheasing.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
I was referring to the aukey and only the aukey. I've had a couple for years that work perfect. The aukey seems like a quality control disaster.

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

Which I guess you don't have any longer. Wise choice
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Diviance:
As much as I loath their abysmal customer service, looks like I made the right choice waiting on my Tylt order rather than cancelling and ordering this one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
My Aukey was nice, but I had issues from the start and returned it. Good idea, bad implementation so I took my money elsewhere.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Radicchio:
I bought an Aukey Luna directly from Amazon, but by the time I received it I had read so many negative things I didn't even open it. I just contacted Amazon to let them know I was returning it. I received notice that a refund had been issued on my credit card the same day I dropped it off to a UPS location to ship back to Amazon. I was impressed that they issued the refund before even receiving the product back.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dusty Rhodes:
I haven't been to this thread since I got mine back on page2...

Mine died last night. It won't energize at all and when I plug it into a 4-1 USB it shorts out the entire hub.

And like others I returned my Tylt. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Crosserson:
Well this sucks to hear, I have two of them. Both are OK for now.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jbdan:
Mine seems to be okay so far. Have had since Christmas. Although this morning pulled it off, phone was really hot and it had stopped charging some time during the night at 64% :o
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
Quality materials, poor design choices.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Tsukasa Buddha:
Mine died as well. I was actually annoyed with how it stopped charging after reaching 100% and was going to return it, and then it was dead.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
Odd, mine is still working (since before Xmas). Granted I'm not using the stock wall wart.

Any correlation to color? I ordered gold (had a gold sticker on the box) and silver was inside.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jbdan:
Guess my one bad night with it was a fluke. It's been working fine. I don't mind it stops charging. It's always >95% no matter what. Good enough for me.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Ulukita:
Mine died too. Amazon offered to replace it with the Aukey swivel Qi pad that looks like a hockey puck. I'm not sure if I should accept. http://www.amazon.com/Aukey-Wireles...TF8&qid=1421206428&sr=1-1&keywords=B00LJKIOS0
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Gnex1:
mine died recently too :(
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
I had a 2nd one that I was given as a gift die as well. Almost lasted three weeks... Two for two here.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ThatAdamGuy:
The fact that it stops charging once it hits 100% (and won't restart) is a dealbreaker. Got this unit, was initially impressed, then noticed that it was at 70% when I woke up. Ouch. After a while, their customer service person wrote me that this was working as intended, to protect the battery. Er, I don't think that's really accurate given the current state of phone batteries nowadays... :\
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
Take the refund. Your N6 will be hard to balance on that charger since it has a rounded back, and when the charger is in an angled mode, the N6 will slide right off of it because the phone does not have strong magnets on it like the N5 did.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] :
Such is my luck!

So I read this as soon as it was posted and took the plunge and ordered it, arrived December 14 and loved it inmediately!! Used it exclusively at work, no issues at all, everybody liking it looks... Fast forward to today, when out of curiosity I enter the thread again and read all the stories of units dying a couple of weeks later... and what happens almost an hour later????

MY UNIT DIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:( :eek: go figure... thank God I am still inside the return window at amazon..!!!! Oh well, back to corded charging...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
I spoke with aukey some more and they say a new revision / patch / other stuff will come to address these issues.... We shall see.

I put forth some other suggestions... Not sure what is in the pipeline but I asked for a future revision to keep a phone at 100%, let people use their own usb cables and not that proprietary bs, tone it down or remove the led and to add something to the base so the charger doesn't slide around.

We can all hope. Lol
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
Knock on wood...mine is still working and mine was purchased 12/22.

If mine doesn't die, I suspect the cause of dying units is the stock wall wart. I'm not suing it as I have one that is rated for 2.1A rather than 2.0.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] :
I know what you mean but in my case I never used the stock ac adapter, used another one so definitely the issue is internal... I think I'll wait until there's a proven, reliable wireless charging option out there, meanwhile good luck to you!! :good:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
Well.... &^%#@*%$@*#%(#@%$^(@#%$^@(#%$^@#(%#@@#&*!_!(@*&_@$*&
[Nexus 6 Accessories] :
You, sir, win the internet today...!!! (of course I sincerely hope yours don't fail :good: but gotta admit it made me laugh! :laugh: )
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
I did not use the provided adapter on my 2nd unit.

What's the record for longevity here? Seems we have someone approaching a month! A winner is you!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] tcrews:
Mine was purchased 12/21 and is still running.......using what came in the box.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jbdan:
Bought mine 12/23/14 and it died last night. Oh well back to my $20 Nokia oval puck that works like a charm
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
For the sake of Science...pop it apart and find what in the circuitry died. I'm curious if they're using ****ty caps or MOSFETs are cooking themselves or what.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ZeusIII:
Unboxed mine Christmas day and just died yesterday. I'll be asking for a refund but if their CS is like their product I'll just open it up to see what went wrong.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ErylFlynn:
Sending mine back already, I had it on 12-23 but started using it this week now that my phone is wireless enabled. It was cycling all the time, on off over and over even when not near 100%. Contacted support and they recommend I send it back to Amazon. Shame the id is nice, but the build and hardware sucks.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jbdan:
Dang I should have you're right... but it's riding down the road right now in the back of a dump truck :p
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bluemgt06:
Mine died the other night so I'll be contacting Amazon about replacing it or returning my money depending on if I find another that I like better.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] guitardoc64:
Well that's good to know. That one is off my list.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
Well, my aukey is dead as of last night.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] carren_li:
Nice. have buy it for my brother. He loves it, oh, aukey is good.

Nice. have buy it for my brother. He loves it, oh, aukey is good.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
You'll be sorry...it'll die within a month. Everyone who has bought one and posted in this thread, had their Aukey die in 3 to 4 weeks.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dadoc04:
mine died last night as well. Purchased 12/15/14

just started the return process on amazon... guess ill just wait until something else comes along
[Nexus 6 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
Seems like every single unit sold has died. Anyone still have one? Can you see if it has the UL or CE logo printed on it anywhere? I am wondering if this thing even has certification to be used in the US
[Nexus 6 Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
I'm gonna have to recommend going with a company that I've been with for a few years with no issue.

Choe Wireless. I've had their 3 Coil Qi Wireless Charger for 3 years and it's rock solid. I even purchased 2 more. They are 1/3 the price of this one and work as well as Tylt
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Dusty Rhodes:
This is too funny! I've never seen a thread where an item completed its lifecycle (albeit prematurely) for all of the thread participants!

We saw. We purchased. We RMA'd.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
Lmfao
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
Has RoHS, FCC and QI logos on the device and box. No UL anywhere on device or the provided powerbrick.

My Tylt has UL on the wall wart transformer but not the stand itself.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] raijin32:
Mine died about 2 weeks ago. Returned to Amazon. Definitely not worth buying.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] tcrews:
Mine is still working. Had it since 12/21/14. I keep watching it each night I put the phone on it to make sure it's charging.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
Mine died the second I unplugged it. from the wallwart (I never unplugged it from). Also Qmazon won't talk to me about mine cutoff for filing a resolution was 1/31. So if yours dies you are SOL.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Crosserson:
I have two and they are still functioning. It does seem the failure rate is high. I don't use mine for overnight charging. I still use the stock charger at night. I use the Luna's for a quick charge up at work and home. When I use the Luna's, the phone is not on very long (2hrs). I have been using the Luna's since early January. I will report back if/when they stop working.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Skripka:
Mine failed the second I unplugged the USB connector from the charger FWIW. There's definitely a short in it somewhere...I tested it against a disposable USB hub,,,,hub powers off to protect itself the second I plug the charger in.,
[Nexus 6 Accessories] tcrews:
And mine died....02/03/15. 12/21/14 (plugged in) to 02/02/15 (thrown away). Device was never moved, used only for over night charging.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] EmperorX:
Welcome to the aukey luna owners support group!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bulldog212:
Mine died last week. More than 30 days, less than 60. It reads like I'm SOL. Aukey says they have an 18 month warranty, unless you buy from Amazon. Amazon will only take a defective return for 30 days. It appears saving some money cost me 17 months of warranty. So wrong.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Bluemgt06:
I contacted the Aukey after mine died and they said they would replace it. They even told me if I would like the newer model I could wait till April and they'd send it then. I told then I'd wait, they said they'd put me on the list.
