Which wireless charger should I buy? - Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories

I want to buy a wireless charger for the Nexus 7(2nd gen obviously). I was think about the Nexus 4 wireless charger, but it seems that the Nexus 7 would be too tall for a perfect fit on the charger. Also Google has "not yet" launched any wireless chargers specific for the Nexus 7. What are the prospects of a wireless charger from Google designed specifically for the Nexus 7 this year? Should I go for the Nexus 4 charger? or should I buy a differ QI charger like Energizer ?

I bought a Zens wireless charging pad. Works very well with my Nexus 4 and new N7. So good just bought the Zens double charging pad.

If you're looking for a budget one:
CHOE Qi Wireless Charger Mat
Isn't too bad. I use it. Not bad for the price. I think it came out to ~27 USD after shipping.
Not great, but at the same time worth what you get for it.
Edit: Forgot to mention that it did take about 10 days for it to arrive to me, dunno if that matters for you. It ships from China.

the dt-910 is perfect charging stand. orb works well too, but I prefer the Nokia

metrans MWT03 works flawless and very affordable

I went ahead and bought two of the Nokia DT-900's that was brought up in another thread.
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/chargers/sku6290260.html#fbid=szkg61a3LRi
They are marked down to $24.50 and if you buy 2 items you'll get an additional 10% off. If you buy a third, I believe it knocks it down to 25% off. Anyway, I bought two, one for the wife and one for myself with tax for $47. Not bad. I think I'll take Artood2s's lead and make a stand!
Edit to change shipping to tax!

Might as well buy a legit Nokia one for that price!
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/chargers/sku6290260.html#fbid=H-aRg4I87Nd
EDIT: As the post above me stated as well. This is probably the best deal out there.

I suppose one benefit of the CHOE is that if you have multiple devices (i.e., phone, tablet etc.) that charge via USB Micro B, that you really only need 1 plug and wall adapter to bring with you if you want to charge with Qi. If all your devices do not have Qi. Not only that, this allows me to hook up my charging mat to external batteries as well as my solar panels.
That was the main reason why I got the CHOE over other options, as it is powered via USB, instead of a wall adapter.

I just went across the border this weekend and picked up the Nokia DT-900 for $24. Can't go wrong so I bought two. It works perfect with both Nexus 7 and Nexus 4 without the need to adjust the device just to get it to detect the charger. Well worth the money

What do you use for solar charging? Did you make it yourself or buy one of those solar chargers?

Darn I was kind of hoping you had made one yourself as I was going to try to make one and pair it with a wireless charger and a DIY stand. Guess I'll have to use le goog to find out how.

New nexus qi charger.

What about this one.
How much, and where?
http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/31/google-wireless-charging-pad/
It says PlayStore. Gotta keep an eye there....
As for me, the good Qi charger for the tablets should be bigger than tablet, have at least 5 or 6 charging coils and detectors (to start charging regardless how do you put a device), be quiet, no bright annoying lights, flat and stable enough for the night stand. And of course it should cost a reasonable price - definitely not a $80-100 but about $25-30 (hey, it's not a "super-duper high tech"; all parts will cost just a few bucks in mass production).
I still can't find anything like described above on a market
The original Nexus 7 had a tablet stand, and charging pins built in. I like the idea of wireless charging, but why doesn't Google offer a stand like the original, with wireless charging included?
If u use a cover u can not charge with the dock.
Wireless is easier as u just place the tablet on the qi pad with its cover.
Its now in stock 50 bucks.

Yes -- provided you get USB audio to work with a second-gen N7 in the first place. Wireless charging doesn't normally interfere with USB Audio.
Using stock 4.3 firmware on the N7.2, I've only been able to use external DACs with USB Audio Recorder Pro.
Who is the manufacturer of the new Google branded charger? Is it LG?
I ask because I have the N7 in the official Google case with the flip cover. I also have a few wireless chargers and the WCP-300 is the only charger that won't work through the back of the case.
And I agree with the comments about how well the Tylt charger works, even with the cover folded behind!

Nokia DT-900 works great and is relatively inexpensive. I have it and a Tylt stand-up charger and both work flawlessly with a couple of different cases I use. The Tylt is nice but pricey (I got a deal on one).
Plenty on eBay from China for 20$ or less.
They work great.
Got one. Still OK after 1 month of heavy use.
I have the Nexus 4 charging orb. Works with the Nexus 7 and sets it at a usable angle as well.

It is an integrated 10,000mah power bank that can charge without being plugged in. Also has external USB for charging other devices.
It ships from Japan, but I ordered mine on the second & it is already in Los Angeles & thru ISC (Customs). They play it safe with shipping estimates, but it will have only of taken about a week when I receive it. I'll report back on quality & impressions after I have used it for a few days.

Looking for a good wireless charger for my nexus 5? get one now with DC 5V/1000mA to 2000mA - amazon.co.uk/dp/B00C40OG22 :victory:
I just purchased this Zens Wireless Charger :
http://www.androidcentral.com/zens-wireless-single-charger-review
Looks good and works fine. Just a heads-up...charging times are double that of the original Nexus 7 cable charger. A full charge takes 6 hours vs 3 hours. I have tested this extensively. Price is pretty high I must admit as well. The real benefit of course is you can just put the N7 down on the wireless charger and forget about it.

I bought this Kookpad wireless charger off Amazon and had it waiting when my phone arrived on Monday. You can get it in white or black. It is very placement insensitive. I ordered a 2nd one last night so I could have one at the office.

When I got my N5, I used a HP Touchpad AC charger (up to 2.0 Amp output), this USB current measuring device http://dx.com/p/usb-av-usb-power-current-voltage-tester-translucent-blue-silver-235090, and then measured the input current to my Note 2, Nexus 5, and then Koolpad (linked on my previous post) with my Nexus 5 charging on it. The battery was about 55% charged so we were definitely in the constant current section of the battery charge (maximum current). The results were.
Note 2 Input current = 1.28A
Nexus 5 Input current = 1.08A
Koolpad (charging Nexus 5) Input current = 1.09A
The tranfser of power between the Qi charger and N5 isn't 100% efficient so the current into the N5 is something less than 1.09A. Guessing efficiency is 70-90% so that would mean 700mA to 900mA (0.7A - 0.9A) into the N5. I have only had the phone since Monday, but the charging time seems to be very similar between using a cord and the Koolpad Qi charger.
That is the only Qi charger I have tested so far. I don't know how others compare. While researching Qi chargers, I had read some people post that the Nokia DT-900 charged on the slower side..... no data to back that up.
Do these alle work fine with cases?
What about the samsung qi charger ?

I've order the nokia dt-900, when will arrive i will make test of time charge, temperature.
Anyway the wirless charger is not 100% efficient...if you search for a faster charge, use a 2,3a USB charger. (Remind the lion battery, for safe and longevity, have to be charge at Max the mah of the battery it self. So a 1000mah battery, Max 1a charger)
I got the Zens wireless charger from Shop Android. When it came I fell in love with the design and ordered 2 more for a total of 3 to have around the house. BIggest mistake ever. I also have the old Zens charger and the samsung S4 charger and the new zens is the only one that gets super hot. Don't know why but when I take the phone off its on fire. Sucks too because now I have 3 of these.

There's definitely some quality control issues with the Nokia chargers, but I can't imagine them saying you'd have to buy another. Their service is outstanding (experienced with multiple defective 920s) and I can't imagine they'd just go tell you to kick rocks.

Well, it was the equivalent. I had to pay $15 to ship it there (I had to use UPS, I couldn't just use a $5 flat rate box). then $10 for them to look at it, then free shipping on the way back. That's $25. I can buy another charger for that money.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I didn't actually "buy" the charger. It just came with my 920 from att. That was their reasoning behind me paying shipping charges.

Wireless Charging

Hello all,
Does anyone have this wireless charger -> http://www.amazon.com/Lerway-Wireless-Power-Charger-Lumia920/dp/B00E9MUNWU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Just want to know how it works with the Nexus 5. It is at a pretty good price and decently rated as a 4 starred device on Amazon.
I have not tried that one but I bought this one recently and have excellent results. It charges with a case on so not bad at all for $10 total shipped with prime account. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FALFNQA/ref=mp_s_a_1_50?qid=1383963766&sr=8-50&pi=SX200

AT&T was running a deal a few days ago where you get 25% off if you buy 3 accessories. I bought 3 of the Nokia wireless chargers for around $60. Might check and see if they still have that deal going.
I use this one (broke it down and mounted in my car dock) with my N7 LTE ... Charges faster (measuring amps) than wired connections. Just grabbed one for my N5.

Any chance you could post pictures of that? I'm kinda tempted to buy a cheapy Qi charger and try to rig it up to my iMagnet dash mount somehow... but i'm not sure exactly how big the whole setup is and if it would be do-able.

sure thing.... I've been meaning to take some pictures of it anyway... it's amazing what you can do with a little bit of foam double sided sticky tape. Keep in mind this is for an N7 tablet so it has a bit bigger footprint than a phone car mount.
With that said, I hope someone (like google) does a QI car charger mount. I'm already missing my gnex pogo mount.

I know. More concerned about how exactly these things are usually configured prior to being slapped in a nice square plastic case to be plopped on a desk/dresser/etc... to see if doing what i'm thinking about is even possible. If they come small enough, i might be able to get it to work. If not, i might still be able to rig something up somehow.
Yes, though I didn't use it, this one seems really cheap. But for me, a reasonable priced product means quality to me. I would highly recommend this one, "RAVPower Qi-Enabled Wireless Charger". It's really light and a great gadget to charge my lumia 920 in a wireless way. They're also compatible with many models. You can check it here from its amazon page, simply search RavPower wireless charger.

That's kind of what I thought until I read an article online the other day that talked about how most Qi chargers are made in China for less than $2. After reading that I told my self I am not paying over $20 for a Qi charger and found one for $10 shipped on Amazon. Its been awesome and I can't find any flaws with it.

I have not tried that one but I bought this one recently and have excellent results. It charges with a case on so not bad at all for $10 total shipped with prime account. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FALFNQA/ref=mp_s_a_1_50?qid=1383963766&sr=8-50&pi=SX200

Ah I would buy that, but it is currently unavailable.....
I am not in a rush anyways... I will wait till it comes back in stock and buy 2-3.
Re $2 ... It shows once you open one up.

Hello all,
Does anyone have this wireless charger -> http://www.amazon.com/Lerway-Wireless-Power-Charger-Lumia920/dp/B00E9MUNWU/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Just want to know how it works with the Nexus 5. It is at a pretty good price and decently rated as a 4 starred device on Amazon.

I bought this one- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DOW1RD0/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Works great with my Spigen Slim Armor case on and charges at 1.5A as opposed to the fastest micro usb charger & cable I could try which topped out at 1.2A.

The specs say 1a right? How is it charging higher for you? And how long is it taking for you to go 0 to 100 on charge?

-Yeah, I didn't notice the 1A detail when I bought it, but that is kinda funny. I know it's using 1.5A because I hooked it up to my Kill-a-watt and that's what it was reading- 7.5W, 5V, 1.5A. So that is kind of odd, but cool.
-I haven't tested it from 0-100, but from 2%-80%, it took right at 1hr, 15 minutes.

Yeah, the thing is awesome! Especially for the price. Crazy how much these have improved in 1 year. When the Nexus 4 came out, they were all 500mAh and like $50.
