Fast wireless charging is finally here! Personally I have not been too much of a wireless charging fan for the fact that it took longer to charge a device than a normal charger. Let alone the fact we have quick charging options as well. Fortunately, we are not seeing devices come out with fast wireless charging support. The Note 5 and the S6 Edge+ are the first to lead the pack with fast wireless charging support. Samsung does have their own fast wireless charing, but it’s kinda pricy. Good news though! Choetech has made their own fast wireless charger and it works really well.

The Choetech fast wireless charger has been a great wireless charger. They have definitely won me over to the wireless charging side of the force. In the past prior to fast wireless charging wireless charging just wasn’t a big deal to me. For many people wireless charging is a deal breaker, but not for me. Honestly, it’s still not a deal breaker for me. At this point I do want to have at least some sort of quick charging. I love to be able to charge up a phone in a short amount of time. If you ever used a Galaxy S6 you know that quick charging was a must have feature on that phone because of the horrible battery life. Fortunately the Note 5 has redeemed the GS6 with much better battery life. Regardless, for those who like wireless charging and quick charging, Choetech has you covered.

From my experience with Choetech’s fast wireless charger has been a great one. Iv’e got no major concerns at all with this charger. Some of the features I look for in a wireless charger is if it recognizes the devices quickly, charges fast, and does not slide around on the surface. Choetech’s meets all my requirements for a wireless charger.

However, I think there needs to be some improvements. Such as…

Ditch the gloss finish. Nobody likes a fingerprint magnet.

The bottom needs a stickier grip. While it does have a rubber ring, it needs to be a little stickier. The best I have used is TYLT’s wireless charger that has a sticky material that holds well in place.

The needed improvements might be a preferences, but I think everyone would appreciate the mentioned suggested improvements over what the current build quality is like. The current setup is good, don’t get me wrong, and I still think the product is a 5 star rating.

In my opinion, to enjoy the Note 5’s or any other fast wireless charging device, this is a must have accessory. There are two versions that Choetech sells, which is one with a charging brick and one without. Each box does contain the pad and wire needed. Just make sure if you need a charging brick that you get the appropriate one. You do have two color options between white and black.

This charger for me sucks. I have had it replaced twice. They get too hot and they stop working. I like the size and all but just not good enough. Each one of the replacement only worked for about a week
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] afma_afma:
I got these. And here is what I feel about it. It is an awesome product.

Performance:

- The charger like advertised does fast wireless charging well. Takes approximately an hour and 40 mins to charge from 0 to 100%.

- There are no constant disconnection issues like i have with the Samsung wireless charging.

- Have used it for almost a month and have not seen its performance deteriorating. It does what it is build to do best that is fast wireless charging.

- Has a green led indicator that lights up when charging your device.

Build Quality:

- Love the build quality of the wireless charger. Solid build. Feels solid when held in hand.

- Have accidental dropped couple of time already and the charger is still holding up with no breakage.

- Has a Royal Matte finish on sides with glossy charging center.

- There is a rubber grip in the base that gives the extra grip the charger needs.

- There is a rubber grip in the top of the glossy charging base to provide grip to the smartphone. So no sliding.

Customer Support:

- Customer support is awesome.

- Any questions you ask is being addressed within 24 hours.

- This company wants to make sure that we the customer feel satisfied with the product we purchased.

If you have not got it yet please get it, you will not be disappointed. Have some pics attached as well.

Yes, just on Amazon. Only for the the black one w/o Qc2.0 adapter. :)
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] acfc0609:
Tried. The code works only for black one w/o Qc2.0 adapter. Have to choose the black one. :D
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] bagged00:
Awesome. I'm retarded. Sorry. Thanks for the help guys.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] ucsdsig13:
Glad there's a coupon code as Choetech needs to maintain its price advantage. The Samsung Fast Wireless Charger has dropped to $49.99 (black) and $51 (white) on Amazon.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] apurva.giri:
True to that! I have one of these. Got them long back. Works really great! I was expecting heat up issue with this fast wireless charger since the Samsung one has a fan and this one doesn't, but my I see no difference in wired and wireless charging. 34 F is the max I noticed.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] ky3bmu4:
5 stars with 85 reviews... Is it really that good or reviewers had to give good reviews because they received the charger for free?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] david_b01:
Here is how it seems to be working a lot now.

Vendor hands out free widget. User gives gushing review for mediocre device, vendor emails user to give new gushing review for new mediocre device. Vendor sells more 4.5 star mediocre devices..

So i got my charger in today but got a question. I keep noticing the red charging light goin on and off. Is this Something that happens to you guys? My phone wouldnt Stay connected to the verizon Charger. Just want to make sure there is no problem with my wireless Charging
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] st8chic:
That's not normal. Mine still works great so far. Are you using the CHOE original adapter or the Samsung OEM one? Does the charging pad stay connected to your wall adapter?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] bagged00:
I'm using just the Samsung wire and plug. My concern is the phone wouldnt charge on any of verizon's wireless chargers though other phones would charge on them. So I'm thinking it's something with the phone. I'll probably try a factory reset if that don't do it then I'll take it back.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] elbarto7:
I returned mine. Amazon will be sending me a new one with 1 day shipping. It's really hard to get the correct spot to charge. The yootech wireless charger $13 is better as far as phone placement.

Edit: Got my replacement today, this one is much better. Even with UAG case.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] bwillet:
I received this charger (black, no adapter) yesterday. Plugged it in, and the green light stayed lit for about 2 minutes, then nothing. Tried different QC 2.0 adapters and cables, nuthin. Sent an email to Choetech through Amazon, and they responded within 6 hours maybe. She didn't sound surprised that it died, and will be sending me a new one from China. I wasn't happy about the China thing as she quoted 7-14 days, but again they responded back quickly (< 1 hr) and said shipping from China would guarantee I get the "new version", where the Amazon stock was mixed between the old and new versions.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] elbarto7:
Amazon can send you a replacement for a lot faster?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] MeridianSun:
Finally broke down and ordered one. Dead on arrival. I'll return and go for the Samsung one next time.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] kiddo94:
I have been using the cheotech wireless charging pad for a week, and I notice the phone gets hot all the time, even when it is 100%. The temperature of the phone is around 93-95 oF. I usually leace my phone on the pad before I sleep and wak up taking it out from the pad. So, is it normal that the phone is still hot on the charging pad when it's already at 100%, because when I use charging cable, the phone goes back to normal temperature when it reaches 100%?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] shouren04:
Might be normal with the Choetech but it's not "normal" in general IMO. I do understand the phone will get hotter than with cable charging but it shouldn't get that hot. My first Choetech worked for literally 10sec & died. Got a replacement & used it for a week. I noticed my phone being fairly hot off the charger but had nothing else to compare it too.

In the week I used the Choetsch it worked fine. But occasionally my phone would be very hot off the charger even after fully charged for sometime. I don't have any temp readings but the last time that I used the Choetech with my phone being hotter than other times, I happened to feel the Choetech which I never did before. The puck was so hot that it was pretty uncomfortable to hold. My guess is that heat is also somewhat transferring to the phone. That high of temp was unacceptable to me & that was it, I returned it & got the Samsung fast wireless charger.

Not sure if I was unlucky twice with defective units but I was not willing to try a third one. Been using the Samsung one ever since & my phone nor the puck has ever got nearly as hot as it did using the Choetech. There's a reason why Samsung decided to put a fan in the fast wireless charger.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] kiddo94:
I tried using regular adapter, not the fast charging one, and it turned out the wireless charging pad went to "Regular charging" instead of "Fast Wireless Charging", and of course the heat issue was gone when the phone got 100%. :/ So it must be the fast charging adapter because it uses high voltage which makes the pad hot, and also makes the phone hot even after the phone is fully charged.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] shouren04:
FWIW, I've used my Choetech with my stock Samsung adaptive fast adapter & an aftermarket QC2.0 adapter. Same high heat result.

I doubt it's your adapter causing it to get hot, in the sense of the adapter being defective but who knows. What's the point in having it if you can't use the fast charging as normal. All I know is my Samsung fast wireless charger does not get extremely hot like the Choetech I had.

I'm not trying to knock their product, I really wanted it to work out but it didn't for me. Just sharing my experience that's similar to others I have read about.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] elbarto7:
I returned the replacement charger. This time the charger stopped working and it was so hot to hold.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] sweets55:
I haven't noticed any heat with my Note 5 on the Choetech Iron Stand or the Fast charger. I try and take my phone off the chargers as soon as it's 100% though. I'm happy with the Choetech products I have.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Radimus:
I'm using the Iron Stand as well. No heat issues on the phone, defender case or stand.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Bdozier:
Got my wireless charger yesterday. I was worried about it to be honest thinking it wouldn't work as described such as getting the charging paused message. I did notice that that would appear on the screen after I lifted it while charging, but before and after I replaced it on the charger, it would be charging. I would watch the percentage rise.

So far very happy.

I do want to ask if anyone else has experienced this... I brought to work with me today and my office was real quiet and I noticed a very slight noise and I realized it was coming from the charger. My phone is charging and cool to the touch so I know it isn't boiling! I don't think it is of concern, just thought I'd ask if anyone else has experienced it.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Lancerz:
Received my CHOETECH T511-S fast wireless charger 2 days ago and it has been awesome so far, it's very small and lightweight which is nice. I haven't noticed it getting any hotter than the normal wireless charger from Samsung despite this one being a fast charge unit. I mean for less than half the cost of the Samsung one its a no brainer. I can't find anything to complain about with this unit, I keep it on my pc desk so while I'm on my pc I just charge it up.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] skinblues:
I thought the round Choetech was the only one with fast charge model... ?? Is this a new product?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Lancerz:
Yeah this is the newest model. Here is the link for it http://www.amazon.com/dp/B016DAFUGY
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] thomasg68:
This model doesn't have the Smart Lighting Sensor.

I can't sleep without the Sensor. The room would be too bright. ?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Lancerz:
The light isn't bright at all, it's barely noticeable. But I don't keep it in my bedroom either.

Review:

I received the product at a discount in exchange for a unbiased review.

Pros:

- seems well made. The materials, fit & finish seem very nice.

- the white color is nice. It wasn't my choice, but even with the "black" Note 5, I like the white. Looks nicer on furniture, in my opinion.

- charges as advertised. It's my go-to charger now and sits on one my nightstands.

Cons:

-very light. I would have preferred if it had more weight.

-sweet spot is small. The small sweet spot of the Note 5 combined with the dainty size of the charger means you have to pay attention when placing it on the charger. I've had a couple occasions of waking up to find out I didn't place it correctly. Sort of takes away the convenience of wireless charging and creates uncertainty.

-the plug that came with the unit is a brick and the USB is at the direct back of it. Unlike the OEM Samsung charger where it plugs in at a 90* angle. The heft of the plug and the cord entrance means you can't have your nightstand very flush against the wall. Yes, I can use my OEM samsung charger, so I would not recommend paying extra for this version of the charger.

-the gauge of the provided power cord is much too heavy. Combined with the dainty weight of the charger, it feels unbalanced. Just use your OEM plug + cord.

Overall, 3.5/5. I'd say it's worth around $20. I wouldn't pay $45 for this.

I got a good deal on the original Samsung Fast charger for 42.00 , so i am good with that.

I HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY ON THE USE YOU GIVE TO THESE FILES. :D

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. ;)

REMEMBER TO USE EACH VERSION ONLY FOR THE ONE YOU CURRENTLY HAVE ON YOUR PHONE:

FOR EXAMPLE: FLASH ZV6 TO ZV6 AND ZV7 TO ZV7 NEVER USE AN OLDER VERSION OR YOU WILL BRICK OR GET A BOOTLOOP/STARTUP ERROR :good:

Here are the links of Stock UNROOTED LS996 (Sprint Flex2) System images just in case you need to return to stock.

THANK YOU!

I have been searching every few hours I swear haha. I have been waiting for this and you just saved my butt. you rock yo! Also, Is this a .tot and do I use the new 2015 flashtool from the other threads?
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
no this is not TOT... these are just System images that have to be flashed through download mode with the process described here credits for the guide and root to [MENTION=1339904]randrew87[/MENTION] [MENTION=4654107]Sj12345[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5854865]Google~Android[/MENTION]

If you dont understand do some research, this is only for returning to stock in case you want to OTA update or have some kind of problem with your current system.
[LG G Flex 2] nickkeslar:
Thanks for replying. I am currently bootlooping. I was screwing around in the build.prop and kept getting UI crashes. So it was just in a constant loop. Somehow I got the bright idea to wipe it in recovery and immediately facepalmed myself when I realized I just turned off USB debugging. So I was searching everyday for a .tot obviously to no avail and jumped the gun and got excited when I saw this. I am not familiar with the process of returning to stock with the .IMG file but I am super thankful that you linked a guide. I'm heading over to read it now!

The TOT method failed for me a few times, moved my USB to the main board of my PC instead of the front ports and worked flawlessly. Hope it will work for you as well.

I did had a chance to flash ZV6rooted on ZV9unrooted. No brick. But phone operates improperly in this case.

I just mean, it is not 100% sure you will brick the phone.

Maybe it is also depends how to flash?

I was wondering if you could downgrade this way. Use zv5 or 6 etc system image
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
But why would you want to downgrade if there's root for ZV5 - ZV9?

My phone works awesome since I updated and its supposedly patched for stagefright.
[LG G Flex 2] lingo2012:
Im on rooted zv9 now i dont want to downgrade i was just curious if someone wanted would this method work but i see theres problems if you do decide to downgrade
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
Seems that if you use the system images only certain things get broken in the process like signal and wifi.

But if you decide to TOT back to stock you get a HaRd Brick QH_USB BULK or QUALCOMM 9008.

And there is no way to get out of that. YET.
[LG G Flex 2] donaldmull:
Little things like this that kinda scares me to root my G Flex 2, which I just got 3 days ago! I am on ZV9 and I am sure that I can root it. However if something goes sour, I have no way of returning it back to stock as you said that it will hard brick the device using the zv5 tot with LG FlashTool.
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
If you really really dont need root theres no case in rooting the phone. In my case I always need root, ZV9 is secure to root.
[LG G Flex 2] donaldmull:
I like root for the native hotspot as well as I can make my battery last a lot longer than stock. Sometimes I need to unroot to take it to the store. Is there a simple way to unroot the ZV9
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
keep your original unrooted system.img backup on the root of your internal sdcard, if something goes wrong you just dd command the stock sys.img and you´re unrooted and back to stock.

guys i m having a ul crash issue,

i was on zv6 rooted, and i made a mistake i installed zv8rooted ,

now phone is hangs alot, the all ul crash every next sec, i m not able to use it,

what should i do,

1, should i try installing zv8 stock system.img

2, should i install zv6 rooted on it ,

i m afraid as now its zv8 rooted and everyone saying u can not downgrade

please help me

as one of my 2 days old gflex2 is hardbreaked already cuz of zv5tot :(

i can not afford to lose one more phone just in 24hrs ,

please advice
[LG G Flex 2] ralphn8r:
I'm in the same boat. Accidentally flashed ZV9 instead of ZV6 and now my phone is still rooted, and the phone info says ZV9 but all system apps are pretty much broken. The phone might as well be bricked.

Have no idea what to do. We done messed up.
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
You just have to transfer ZV6rootedsystem.img or the stock one to your phones internal sd card and DD flash it in Download mode.

I can bet none of you made a backup first like YOU SHOULD, we always suggest you to do that JUST IN CASE something goes bad.

DO NOT FLASH ZV5 TOT. That will definitely brick your device and leave it in Qualcomm9008.

Seems like flashing the system images wont brick it. So try to flash the version in which you were.
[LG G Flex 2] ralphn8r:
I don't really know how but it's fixed now and I'm now sitting pretty at stock ZV9.

From the half-bricked rooted ZV9 I had, I flashed to stock ZV9 using the dd method, then flashed down to stock ZV6. Then, I waitied for the OTA to download and brought the phone up to ZV7 stock. It was still all half-bricked, but I waited until the OTA came again and then updated to ZV8 and then everything was functioning perfectly. Just to be safe I waited for the last OTA which brought me up to ZV9.

It was a huge pain because the phone was crashing every two minutes before the OTA downloaded, but for some reason it worked. Never went full brick or bootlooped. Just had to wait forever for my pc to recognize my phone each time I had to flash. It might have just been a fluke, so I wouldn't try and copy my method here, just letting everyone know that it's possible.

I might wait awhile before rooting again, so I know it won't mess anything up.
[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
You can root right away using the ZV9 rooted img.

Dont worry about bricking as long as you have a current backup and use the rootedimg you have to use its gonna be all good.

Make sure to use the dd command for Sprint variant, a friend bricked cause he used H955 command. So just make sure!
[LG G Flex 2] lovesazu:
ok guys, so i will do as ralph8 has done,

i will flash dd zv8 stock, then flash dd zv6 stock ,

then wait for ota,

yes alex thanks alot, i will keep my backup this time ,

one more thing when i install stock image its a diffrent name then root image

i got this command for ls996

dd if=/data/media/0/rootedsystem.img bs=8192 seek=58368 count=522240 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

so should i rename stock zv8 image to rootedsystem.img

or should i change name in dd command ???

please advice as i m trying to do now but i will wait for the ans before i make any step now :)

(as i already have one dead hardbreaked cuz of zv5 tot )
[LG G Flex 2] ralphn8r:
I already pm'ed you, but just so everyone else can see, you can do either option. You can rename the image file and keep the command line the same, or edit the command line to whatever the image file is. Either works, just make sure they're both the same.
