My experience too. Item showed stock. Order page says order within so many hours to receive by ..... but when the confirmation comes, delivery is a week + away. I expected 2 day delivery as a Prime member. I even cancelled 1 order I made on the 4th and re-upped again on the 7th with product showing stock to receive the same delivery time frame. I inquired about stock status and received free 1 Day delivery as well. Safe to say these items are not in stock.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] BKayrac:
Ordered one on the 8th, says it'll be delivered on the 14th. Definitely not amazons usual setup, so something is going on there. But I also ordered the one with the QC adapter as I only have 1 that came with the phone, a 2nd won't hurt to have laying around.

Ironically I ordered some cat food on the 8th as well, and did the slow delivery for the 1$ credit to my account, and thats supposed to get delivered on mon the 12th :p

I been using this Cheotech fast charger for two days now and I must say it works flawlessly every single time...

It has lights green which to let you know it has power

Lights indicate when its done charging as well..lights depends upon which phone you have according to the directions

I tested it with two different cases and it worked every single time as well...

For the price I must say its definitely worth it, due to its cheaper than samsung

Packaging it came in was nice as well..... I will post pics as well any questions please ask

I've been using this for over 1 month now, it's been working great, and i really like the lighting sensor function, it never bothers me when charging over night like most others.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Cr4z33:
How were you able to get it in a golden colouring?? :confused:

I can only choose between black and white.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] antawnm26:
Not for sure on that one. Lol. It was availed as a option. I would email them and see
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Cr4z33:
Thanks let me know please 'cause I would be interested then. :D

The question is, why does the Samsung quick charger wireless pad have a fan?

Does this unit get hot?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] ucsdsig13:
Does anyone else have any heat issues when using this charger?

The past few nights I've noticed that my phone (S6 Edge+) gets pretty hot while on the charger (with or w/out a case). When looking at the stats from my battery app, looks like the phone gets around 42-43 degrees Celsius. What's strange is that the temperature usually spikes after the phone has reached 100% charge and is still on the charger.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] thomasg68:
Mine did get hot especially when using UAG or Otterbox Symmetry case.

Thinner cases are ok... just a little bit warm.

I am just hoping that the charger will improve with time.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] st8chic:
Seems the S6 Edge plus has more heating issues than the Galaxy Note 5. Rarely heard heating problems of the Galaxy Note 5.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] feihu989:
S6 edge+'s wireless charging function is not well made as Note 5, the reason for the spikes, is the trickle charging designed to keep your phone 100% charge when you wake up in the morning, it's useful if your phone has high self-discharge.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] ucsdsig13:
That's too bad. I was concerned since my phone doesn't get just warm, but hot to the touch. Seems that this only occurs once the phone has reached full charge and is trickle charging. Will keep an eye on it, don't want to damage my phone.

Knew I should have stuck with the Note line :) (previously owned the Note 2-4).

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

Thanks for the reply. That's strange. Thought the Edge+ and the Note 5 had the same internals...not sure why there would be a difference in wireless charging performance.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Mayonesa:
Well i have a N5 with a UAG case, hope my phone doesn't get hot while using this. My charger is arriving Wednesday.

I expect it to be warm but hopefully not hot
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] ucsdsig13:
Put my phone on the charger last night when I went to sleep at 11pm. Woke up around 3am and unfortunately the phone was extremely hot again.

Just as a test, I decided to use the the Samsung charger that came with my Note 3 (non quick charge) with the Choetech unit. It charged my phone perfectly, but of course at reduced speed. It's amazing that my phone never even got warm, even when trickle charging after reaching 100%. Think this is the setup I'll have to use when charging overnight.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] thomasg68:
Not too sure about your Samsung wireless charger but assuming that it is the same as the Samsung Fast Charge wireless charger, it will have a fan inside.

That may be the reason why it won't get hot. :)
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Cr4z33:
Lower power = lower heating

That's not rocket science. ;)
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] ucsdsig13:
Haha, understood. But there's a difference between "Wow, the phone feels warm" and "Holy crap, the phone is HOT!".

Always heard that heat can kill a battery. Just want to avoid unnecessary damage.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] spinkick:
Nice looking device, I'd like to get one to review for amazon
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Daiskei:
I just got my review device and first let me say that the Choetech Fast Wireless Charger is only the second wireless charger that I’ve used, however, it has blown me away in its ease of use and the rate in which it charges in comparison to past experiences.

The build quality was the first thing that I noticed when unboxing the device. The bottom portion is made of metal which makes it feel really solid and nice when being handled, they’ve also provided a ring of cushioning on the bottom in order to prevent it from slipping. The top of the device where the charging occurs has the same ring of cushioning to once again prevent the phone from slipping and the center is made up of what I believe to be glass in order to allow the electrical current to pass through and into the phone.

The outer ring of the device is made up of a transparent plastic that allows the LEDs to be seen easily. The LEDs have two color modes – blue for normal charging and green when in fast charge mode, the best thing about the LEDs is that they dim to off when the lights go out as to not disturb you while you are sleeping!

As for the fast charging itself, I’ve started using this as my primary charger. In the past I had used a charger that gave me lots of issues with my device getting too hot, however, this charger has given me no issues and on top of that it’s a FAST charger! (the phone does heat up a little, however, it’s the same as with my usb charger) I get a full charge on this in about 1hr 45mins whereas in the past it had taken me about 2-2.5hrs in order to get a full charge and in my opinion that is a HUGE difference. Overall, I am very happy with how this charges my Note 5. I don't think I could as for a better wireless charging experience.

Choetech has done a wonderful job with this product and I am now a true fan. Thank you Choetech for providing such a solid piece of technology.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] BarryH_GEG:
^^^^

This.

Is the reason for this.

Of course fast chargers are going to get hot(ter) outputting the higher voltage they do. The phone gets hot or at least warm receiving the higher voltage too. Air cooling their fast charger allows Samsung's to stay cool(er) and at the same time help shield/dissipate heat from the phone through the charger remaining cooler than the phone. Samsung could have pumped more voltage through their already existing non-cooled standard wireless charge but instead added a fan. Ask yourselves "why?"
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Screwedupsmitty:
Wonder if battery degradation on these choetech vs samsung oem is going to differ. Suddenly more Relevant given the lack of exchangeable batteries.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] ucsdsig13:
Wish the Samsung Fast Wireless Charger worked with my phone (S6 Edge+ VZW variant). Bought and returned it before getting the Choetech. Would like to compare the two, especially with regards to the heat issue.

Very valid question.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] bwillet:
I really hope Choetech is planning on coming out with a car mount that A) integrates fast wireless charging, and B) is large enough to handle the Note 5 with a case. My lifestyle is predictable enough to where I don't need fast wireless anywhere else (I am fine with slow charge at home and office), however being able to charge the phone in the car without plugging in, while using Waze and streaming audio is a dream yet realized. If you're listening Choetech, I want two of them RIGHT NOW! ;)
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] shouren04:
I'm having the worst luck with 3rd party phone products! Just received mine today. Plugged it in & it lit up green. Set my phone on it & it started fast charging. Took my phone off & placed it back on, the Choetech is dead. Unplugged the puck & plugged back in, no lights, not charging, tried different chargers & cables, the thing is just dead. Wtf?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] choetech-official:
Good advice

Hi bwillet，

Very good idea! :good:Thanks for your advice. If we integrate our pocket wireless car charger with this fast wireless charger technology, what do you think of it?

One weakness of this pocket wireless car charger, will effect the use of vehicle navigation.

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] vhgomez36:
I have both, the Samsung and the Cheo-Tech. I am absolutely happy with the CHeo. For some reason, I think it works better than the Samsun. It is amazing! Thanks Cheo-Tech!
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Fenzox:
Does it kills the battery in the long run?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] cartertucker:
Last night was the first night. I got it to replace the Cheotech stand charger which has an annoying bright blue light that lights up my room. Even when taped, it bleed light.

Three early observations:

1) connected and phone indicated fast wireless

2) puck is small. smaller than the samsung one I have. I had to take the Samsung out of my room because that too was a lighthouse in the middle of the night. I wish the puck was slightly bigger. when I hit the home button this morning to snooz the alarm, the phone flipped up off the base because the base is smaller than the phone. On the plus side, the Cheotech did not emit light

3) phone was warm after overnight charging. CPU showed 34 after about a minute when I finally got around to checking. I will compare that to sitting on the samsung. warmth may be my biggest concern.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] ucsdsig13:
Please do that. Am interested if the Samsung runs cooler due to its internal fan.

One time my phone reached 42 degrees C after overnight charging with the Choetech. Way too hot for my comfort.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] bwillet:
Wow, thanks for the quick reply in a public forum - nice! Two thoughts on that. First, I do like the pocket charger, and once Android Auto matures a little bit, I would be happy to use that pocket charger with fast wireless charging. If I could use my car screen for Waze (still not supported in AA), the pocket charger would be perfect. Although I wonder about the extra heat generated by Qi fast charge being trapped inside the pocket - perhaps you might want to consider moving to a breathable material...

Now, however, with Android Auto not yet supporting Waze, and with needing to control Google Play Music and my audiobook player, I have to use the the phone screen directly. My daily driver (VW GTI) is easily upgradeable, and I will be putting an Android Auto system in the car when it's worthy. My other vehicle (Ford Flex) isn't really able to be upgraded however, so I'll be stuck with using the phone for as long as I keep the vehicle. I think the majority of people would be in that position, with a "conventional" phone on dash setup, so a well-designed phone cradle should be a really good seller...

Seems likely you're already working on the pocket charger, can you comment on what other Qi fast charge products you're planning to bring to market?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] ericbergan:
I'm getting a strange behavior. I have music on SD card adapter plugged into the phone. When I'm playing music of the card, and then put the phone on the charger, music stops and I get an error that the player can't see the folder. If I take the phone off the charger, rescan the music folder, it's fine, start playing again, but fails again when I put it on the charger.

Anyone else seeing something like this?

I haven't tried with a different drive yet, so don't know if it's unique to this adapter or not.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] hiteshonline:
Do you think it is necessary to purchase the quick charging adapter? Will the adapter will affect the speed of fast charging? Do you think the speed may slow down if I use the wireless charging pad with the quick charging adapter that came with my Galaxy Note 5?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] shouren04:
Not necessary. You can use the stock Samsung adaptive charger. The Choetech fast wireless charging pad only supports 5V & 9V anyway just like Samsung adaptive charger. Aftermarket QC 2.0 certified chargers support 5V/9V/12V but the wireless charger & the N5 don't support 12V charging.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] choetech-official:
Thanks for your support about wireless charger. We are planning to announce 3 coils Qi fast wireless charger. As for pocket fast wireless car charger, we hope to hear more feedback requests from market.:)
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] cartertucker:
Here are the results of my weekend testing on Choetech Fast Charger vs Samsung Fast Charger. I used the Choetech QC2.0 charger that came with the unit and the Samsung QC2.0 charger that came with it's unit. All results were recorded in the Battery Monitor Widget. Phones were started at charge indicated and left on the charger overnight. Phone was in a thin Ringke SLIM case.

Choetech Night 1: Avg temp 29.3., Max temp 32.6, Peak charging mA 1712, Charge started at 66%

Samsung Night 2: Avg temp 30.8, Max temp 34.7, Peak charging mA 1896, Charge started at 59%

Choetech Night 3: Avg temp 29.1 Max temp 30.6, Peak charging mA 1816, Charge started at 80%

I would add that in the morning taking the phone off the charger, the phone only felt slightly warm in all 3 scenarios. On a previous night, not recording, the Choetech phone felt warmer when I took the phone off the base (which is what prompted the testing above).
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] ucsdsig13:
Thanks for the information.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] MMakoto:
So I have received my review unit as well, here are my quick thoughts. I have the fast wireless charger from Samsung as well, so this review is a little comparison of the two.

Samsung fast wireless charger:

PROS:

- quality stuff, something you'd expect from a big manufacturer.

- internal fan? not sure if this is a pro or con, but it helps to keep the charger a bit cooler

CONS:

- you could probably hear the fan noise if put next to your bed at sleep times

- expensive at $60-$70, depending on color and merchant.

- only works with the Samsung adaptive fast wall charger, does not work with other qc 2.0 certified wall chargers.

Choetech fast wireless charger:

PROS:

- much smaller in overall size, I like it better than the bigger Samsung one.

- no internal fan or vents. although this could be subjective, only time will tell if there would be a heating issue.

- at only $35 compared to $60-$70.

- works with all the qc 2.0 and Samsung adaptive fast wall chargers.

not really any cons for the choetech, it's cheaper and works just as well as the Samsung. it even works with all qc 2.0 wall chargers, and that's a big plus. so I really don't see a reason to buy the Samsung unless one is into the big brands.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] thomasg68:
My Choetech Fast Charger does not turn off the charging notification light when the room is dark, it dims the led light.

Is that normal?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] dschachm:
I received this last week. It does the same job as the Samsung Wireless Fast charger without a fan and at a fraction of the price. I have both chargers and have noticed no different in the speed at which my Note 5 is charged. I also noticed that this is not bright in the middle of the night like the Samsung charger. This is a great product and i would definitely recommend this to a friend.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Monsi:
I got my review unit and the first thing I think about it was: "This is smaller than I was thinking". The build quality is great, feels durable in hand. I liked the detail in the instructions with the message "Happy". The wall plug is nice, you can put the usb either side without difficulties. The usb cable is the right long.

By the small size of the pad, it takes a very small place and it a table, so you can leave it there and wont notice it.

The build of the charger feels great, I tried to put it on a bed and push on the mattress in the side of the charger to see if the phone slips and no, the build of it, prevents the phone to slip and by that prevents unnecessary accidents.

I first tried with the device naked and checked everything and it was fast charging with no problem, charged to 100% from 2% in about +/- 2 hours, Great! Then I putted a cover in my phone, and it was charging the same way, works with rigged cases as well. This thing its powerful! While charging I turned off the room lights to see if the LED light dim and yes, the smart lightning sensor works like a charm!

This is way better than the samsung one, with a killer price tag. This is going to be my primary charger from now on.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] duongdn:
Just received my unit today. From reading this thread, I chose this over the Samsung one. So far so good. Thanks to all for your input!
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] rasc51:
hi guys i just received my puck today, and i have one question my screen dims put doesn't turn of , if i turn it off it stops charging, i have always on while charging turned off
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] z2k:
Have you got the temperature for more nights since your post? From the stats above it seems like it runs cooler than the Samsung one.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] cartertucker:
I've been logging on the Choetech but haven't compiled the data yet. My max overnight temp on the Choetech on a quick scan of the log was 35.9c over a 5 night period but it usually runs cooler on average. That max temp is also higher than the max temp on the Samsung one thus far. I have not run overnight on the Samsung other than the one night above so really not enough data to conclude it runs cooler or warmer. From the small sample, the difference is not dramatic.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] st8chic:
That's normal. Seems the built-in smart lightning sensor automatically dims the LED indicator according to the darkness in the room, but not totally turns off the lights.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] sweets55:
I got my Choetech fast charger a few weeks ago and it works great. So now I have 3 wireless chargers (Choetech Iron Stand and a Tylt). I'm impressed with the Choetech quality at a affordable price plus no sweet spot on the wireless chargers like others I have used. My Tylt worked good up until I got the Note 5. Now it usually only works if I have the phone sideways plus the viewing angle for watching a movie isn't that good when on the stand because it's more slanted. I highly recommend Choetech products.

Here's the Choetech Wireless Iron Stand

I was lucky and snapped this picture right when the wireless animation comes on (the circle in the middle of the screen). Go Buckeyes!

I am using the Samsung clear case and have no issue charging the Choetech fast charger or the Iron stand.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] hiteshonline:
It has inbuilt smart lightning sensor. It automatically dim the indicator according to darkness in the room. You can buy this product... ;)
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] shouren04:
Received my replacement & have been using it for a couple of weeks now. It works fine except for the fact that the charging puck gets extremely hot during overnight charging & causes my phone to get very hot as well. So hot that the puck is unbearable to touch. Doesn't happen every night but it has happened a few times already.

It's a shame cause I really like the compact size & look of it. I also like the dimming indicator lights. I'm not happy with the heat issues so it's going back to Amazon.

I ended up purchasing the Samsung fast wireless charger. My first thought was that it's so much bigger than the Choetech & thought that I would not like the bigger size. However I now actually prefer the bigger size. My N5 is much more stable sitting on top of it & it is more forgiving on placement to start charging. With the Choetech I often got the Wireless Charging Paused message & have to reposition.

The only thing I don't like about the Samsung is the indicator light does not dim but I do like that it turns a different color when the phone is fully charged, a feature the Choetech did not have. Best of all, the Samsung puck does not get extremely hot nor does it make my phone hot. Of course it's probably the result of the fan. The case on the Samsung puck is plastic where the Choetech has an aluminum base which I also liked, gave it a nice feel. My guess is they choose to use aluminum as a heatsink instead of using a fan.

Not sure if I received another defective Choetech but I'm not willing to try this model for a 3rd time. I'm happy with the Samsung but I plan to try out more the upcoming Choetech products. Hope my luck is better then.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] ucsdsig13:
I've had a similar experience with the Samsung and Choetech fast chargers I purchased. A couple times during overnight charging with the Choetech my phone became uncomfortably hot, reaching 42 degrees Celsius. On other nights, heat was not an issue. When charging with the Samsung, my phone has become warm, but seems to never exceed 36 degrees Celsius.

Out of curiosity, I used old 2A wall chargers from my Note 2 & 3 to power both wireless pads. It's amazing to see the difference in heat output, as my phone reaches a max temperature of ~30 degrees Celsius. Fast wireless charging works, but dramatically increases heat production. Just concerned about potential long term effects on the battery.
