I have gone through many a headache over wireless charging and felt I should make this point to help other parents...
My son is 4 and has my old nexus 7 (2013). Like many kids he promptly broke the USB charging port on this tablet and I was forced to figure out a wireless charging solution for him as replacing the port would have only bought me some time. I've tried a lot of wireless chargers. Even ones that cost 2-3 times the price of this one. All of them have the same problem which is getting the tablet into the perfect charging spot. I have a fintie case on the N7 for protection against my son and that has always made wireless charging tricky. Not with this charger!. It's so easy my 4 year old son can land it every time. It's also way more likely to stay on the charger than any other charger i've had so far. The tablet rests perfectly on the charger propped up (he can keep watching videos this way too).
Save yourself some time and frustration and get this charging stand... for the $22 it currently goes for you won't be disappointed!

When I get a chance I will upload a picture of my son's tablet in the stand....

I purchased a universal car charger from Frys for $6.00 the week the phone came out and never really used it till today. While it was charging it felt really hot, I looked at the temperature and it went from 89F. to 129F. in less than five minutes. Has anybody else had any luck with a non Samsung car charger? I really don't want to pony up for the Tmobile one and prefer to buy one under $10 if possible. Or do you think the temperature is fine on the current one I have?
i got this one for like $5 a while back. works great.
Also, check out monoprice.com. you can essentially build one for cheap.
Inexpensive and Car Charger is never a good combo. I never understood why people would drop so much on a phone then cheap out on the charger. Cheap chargers don't last very long and can actually damage your battery.
+1 to what speoples said...although it was a while back, i once fried my phone's charging circuit using the cheap car charger. i never use them after what happened.
I got few of these when meritline have them on sale for 80 cents/each. Forgot how much voltage it put out when I measured it but it's good enough for a USB charger and stable.

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

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?
Hello,
inspired by a thread I saw last week in the LG XDA forum where a guy was showing a custom cradle + charger made by LEGO for his phone I decided to find the old LEGO box and to create something for myself, remembering the old days 2 decades ago when i was young and played a lot with these ingenious small bricks and pieces So, here's the outcome, tell me if you like it and be inspired to do something by yourself and share it here, I'll be very glad if I make at least one person to do the same and feel the nice nostalgia to the old days
P.S. The QI charger part is actually working very well and charging the phone fast enough, even though the positioning is not the best. I used a cheap flee market QI charger, which i disassembled and took only the charging unit, totally removing the casing. It's sandwiched between the LEGO plates and is pretty well held in position, not requiring any additional fixing. If you want to, i can make more detailed pictures of how i fixed it into place.

Very nice! If only I still had my massive bucket of bricks, I'd make one of my own!
HAHAHAHA!!! Too cool!! :good:
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.

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.
