I want something that will plug directly into a micro USB phone. I'm aware of the multitudes of this design:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I had one, thought it was garbage, it made an irritating noise both charging and discharging, its connection was hit and miss as bumping it might disconnect it, and eventually less than 6 months later it stopped working. It was advertised as a 2800mAh but its charge was extremely poor. Yet, those are the only type of chargers I can find, all from various companies using the exact same design.
The Motorola P790 is ideally the type of thing I'm looking for, it even comes with a slide out USB so it can't get damaged, but it's no good since it's a mini USB and would require packing around cords:
I'm not looking for a mega charger, one charge or so is fine as I'm not trying to carry around more than a second phones weight in a charger. I find it extremely odd that with so many phones out there, there hasn't been a decent micro USB charger without cords that I can find.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hey guys I'm currently looking for a gadget where you basically plug the dock to the wall socket.
But instead of the dock being a pin connecter like for example this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The dock has multiple USB plug-in (2 would be nice if not one is fine) So I can charge more than one usb rechargable device such as an iPod and the phone while using them.
Is there such device?
Thanks guys
EDIT: If there is none, I'm thinking of buying a portable battery charger. If anyone has recommendations of good ones that is durable and does the job please feel free to share.

No, I'm looking for a thing where that USB part of the charger is a wire and leads to a "dock" where I can place on my desk but has 2 or one USB port.
EDIT: please no discount codes!
Hey guys I recently acquired a USB type C wireless charger from choetech which works great. I want to get into the details shortly to keep this quick and fast as it is the weekend!
Link to product:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01L3OUC7W
I have compared this product vs the Samsung wireless charger. the horrible one they gave away last year and early this year. This one actually has enough space to charge the phone wirelessly at most angles. I have yet to notice a spot where it doesn't charge. Good job choetech.
I do have one slight bad comment is that I need a longer USB type C cable. Another bad thing is that I wish it was the USB type C fast wireless charger version but that isn't a big deal.
I noticed this regular wireless charger peaks at 730 mA. I did this study over night charging as I let my phone charge overnight in my living room table.

If you guys have any questions about the product feel free to add in any questions.

Hi guys,
I'm getting my Pixel 2 in few days and I'm currently looking at accessories on Amazon. I would like to get a dock/craddle to recharge overnight on my night stand. I don't believe I need fast charging/PD for that, since the Pixel will have all night to charge. Do you have any recommendations ? I can use my Google charger power brick if the dock doesn't come with one.
How much time does the Pixel 2 takes to charge anyway on fast and slow charge ?
Thanks,
Neo.
I looked into cradles and to be honest they are way too limiting. In order to use them, you have to put the phone into a slot so that it charges, it is fixed and not very flexible.
Instead, I use a mount called a Clutchit and a regular power cable.

With it, I can just place it on the mount, in any orientation (portrait, landscape or anywhere inbetween). It just holds it and it is very easy to take and put it back on without worrying if I got it into the slot correctly. It will even hold a tablet.
I use it with a 6ft cable to an original Pixel 2 charger plug and chargers in Rapid mode.
No association with them other than I own several of these.

Hello again! So you might know by now I am always in the market for power supplies that will trigger fast charge on a Nexus 6P, Google Pixel or Pixel 2 device! Well I found this cigarette lighter adaptor from Bestek that supplies more than 2.4Amp to the USB port plus has 2 additional cigarette lighter female sockets for more connections!
There are some better pictures on ebay than I could possibly take, but found it for a much lower price on Amazon if you are interested in snagging one of these.
I just upgraded to a Pixel 2XL and was very interested in how well it can charge my new device. I was unaware that the Pixel 2XL actually kicks into charge overdrive when you turn off the screen. So it took a while to capture this image showing it supplying 2.7 Amps!

Add to this, the capability of supplying almost 5 Amps total, and being able to switch each side off and on independently! You have a 12V cigarette lighter socket and USB port per side! Plus you have a display telling you how much current is being used! You can't beat this for the price!
So I was checking the specs for the phone before buying and everybody says that it doesn't officially support wireless charging. So I wanted to know if somebody has managed to make wireless charging work. I have seen a couple of videos for phones that don't support it either charging wirelessly with NFC. Sorry for the noob question, just wanted to make sure because I haven't used wireless charging before.
I don't think you can. The hardware isn't set up for wireless charging. I'd recommend not trying things that could put your phone in danger.
Buddy, if the specification says that it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. No matter who made which videos. There are external wireless charging options that are placed under the TPU bumper, but the USB-C port is always blocked.
Some semi-wireless, though unsure about the safety or usefulness.

Okay then it's not worth exploring. Thanks a lot guys
It's not got a wireless charging coil so the answer is no wireless charging
The closest thing is a QI receiver but you will lose the usefulness of usb c while you use it and I don't know if there is any certified with any quality certificate.
ain't worth it anyways imo
