Question Wireless charging stands - Google Pixel 6 Pro

Anybody here tried the phone with a wireless charger and care to comment their experience? I haven't had a phone that could do this since my Nexus 4 so I'm in the market for one and I'm a little lost on what's what today.

So because I like living dangerously, I bought an Anker charging stand that in theory charges older pixels at 15W:

Hoping it'll work the same I'll report back

I've been using the same charging pad (lay flat, not a stand) that I bought when my wife and I had Nexus 5 and 6 respectively. No idea how much power goes through it, adapter I have plugged into it says 1A. Seems to work well.

The Anker I posted above works fine. I can't say how well it would work connected to a proper charger as I'm running it off the laptop's dock usb which provides limited power.

The Spigen SteadiBoost F309w is working for me, paired with Spigen 40 w dual charger.

I would like a wireless stand, but I've never used one before. Does a case interfere with using a stand? Ii don't want the newest one because of the fan. Any suggestions?

I just picked up an INIU 15w wireless charger stand from Amazon, it works fine with phone in the case, but doesn't charge if the phone is in landscape... Can't comment on the speed though.

Thank you, I just ordered it. I would prefer landscape, but this works too.
Edit: I just read that it makes chirping noise. Are you experiencing this?

I need new one as my OP8 one only does Qi at 10W.
Not paying 60 for the Google one if I can help it.
Anyone know if Qi chargers will auto stop charging at 100%?
I only use wireless during night really.

I'd like a slower charger like a 10W for overnight charging. Can you tell me the brand/model please?

Its just the official OnePlus 8 Pro wireless charger

At first it wasn't working on my charging pad I've been using with my 4xl. I thought oh no he we go, but it turned out I had to toggle battery share on and off.
It doesn't charge that well in my Tesla since the phone can't lay flat on the charging bad. Not sure how I can remedy that. I guess that's one of the drawbacks of the daft punk bump.

Wireless charging speed is super slow
I use 10w charging pad on P4XL is 660mA
On my new Pixel6 is only about 360mA
Slow ASF. Anyone can shere charging speed and divice?

Got this one delivered today. Seems to work fine leaving the case on my phone.

I've ordered this, super cheap with plug option too, though delivery is late. Will post back once it arrives

Anyone found a way yet (through root) to enable full charging speed on third-party wireless stands (should be 23 watts)?

I purchased this one, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RJ8GW7P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, and I'm very happy with it. I don't need rapid charging as I only charge my phone when I go to bed at night. It can be used in portrait or landscape mode and it shuts down when a full charge is achieved. The LED was a little bright at first, but since it shuts down at full it was a nonissue.

So is this good? I got up to 1850 mA when phone was at 80%
I'll share Amazon link if anyone is interested

Additional Wall Charger

Based on the talk so far and as is pretty typical, Nokia wants us to us the included charger for charging our L900's. What are you guys planning to do for a travel or backup charger?
All my charger consists of is a usb cord with a small low profile wall plug. You can use just about any adapter, powered usb hub, usb port on computer, back up battery, charging solution.
They say use their own because of something does happen and you admit you were not using their supplied equipment then the warranty will not cover you.
Also, the supplied charger does charge at a higher Amperage than a lot of the aftermarket ones. If you are having trouble with your Lumia 900 charging correctly with an aftermarket one, try the original one again.
Using Nokia Diagnostics, I can see that most of my Aftermarket chargers only send between 200-350mAh and the Stock Nokia one sends up to 650mAh. Quite a difference, and much needed for this larger battery...
PS: Using my PC USB port, I only get 150-200mAh.

The white puck Nokia charger is labeled to drive 1A at 5V. Most PC USB ports are current-limited well below 500mA. The yellow ports on Lenovos will generally provide more, but not a full 1A.
Just type "Nokia AC-16U fast charger" into amazon, a few working days & dollars later = spare charger!
Sent from my Lumia 800 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
The plug prongs don't fold flat, and the charger and cord are not color coordinated with the phone. This aspect should be changed for upcoming handsets. Nokia's designers should know better than this.
The charger needs to be the same color as the phone?
What other devices is this true for outside of the white iPhones and other black phones with generic black chargers (which are the same color by happenstance or by budget decisions, NOT by artistic design)? I don't think the Nokia designers were aware of this "need" for good reason.
I can buy you a sharpie and send it to you if you want. Just let me know which color you have, Cyan or Black. I wouldn't want to send you the wrong one.
Just saying, you can get Palm branded AC adapters from their webOS phones for dirt cheap (around $5 US) on eBay right now. The phone ones put out 1A as well (and the tablet ones put out 2A, but those are larger).
I haven't even bothered with the Nokia adapter since it doesn't have folding plugs, but I have a few Palm ones that work great.
There are two different models of the Palm one, one which is about an inch and a half long cylinder, and one that's a little larger, and most of the ads on eBay don't specify which it is, but if you're not picky then I don't think you can get anything OEM for cheaper.

Checking Nokia Diagnostics, what do the Palm ones pump into the phone in mA while charging?

For the record, I was a little surprised and disappointed when I saw a White adapter in the box. I would have preferred Black, although, most of the time, it's out of sight, just seemed strange, especially when Nokia is SO into color matching their accessories.

Both the larger and smaller phone ones are giving me ~ 850 mA, as is the 2A rated Touchpad one which is even larger. The only difference between the two phone ones other than size is that on the slightly larger one, the prongs actually screw off and let you use travel adapters for other countries' plugs.

Wow, that's impressive. They should charge the battery quicker than the original. They'd make a good replacement.

I just plugged into my iPad charger and was instantly getting 785 mA on the charge. I then plugged into the nokia charger and it registers about 650 tops. Looks like the iPad charger will work for a slightly faster charge as well.

I believe someone on the internet did a test and the Nokia charger charges faster than the majority of chargers. I don't know that any charger will hurt the phone if if delivers 1 or less amps at 5 volts. It may take longer to charge but your phone should be fine with other decent brands.
In addition to my Nokia charger I use the Belkin mini surge protector. It has two USB charging ports. I don't think it works for iphones though for some reason. Someone else will have to confirm.
In the car I use an onn Dual USB Car Charger. I can't find anything on the web about it. I bought it at Walmart for $10. It works for Lumia 900s and iphones. I've only had it a couple of weeks but it seems to work fine. The problem with car chargers is there seem to be a lot of unreliable models out there. Even the one on the at&t site gets plenty of bad reviews. I wouldn't mind paying more if I knew I was getting a product that would last me years. Anyway we will see if the Walmart charger lasts. If it dies I will report back.

The Belkin only delivers 500 mA to the USB, so it's about the same as plugging it into a computer. That's also the reason that it won't work for an iPhone.
I plugged into a Motorola Droid X charger - rated for 1000ma - it started charging the thing just as fast as OOTB charger. I think the phone is happy with any 1amp chargers. I'll test my iPad 2A charger in the car soon and report back.
HP has the Touchpad charger on sale for $4.99 with free shipping.
I just bought a 3rd one since I have an Touchpad and tried charging my 900 with that charger. Fast charging, nothing damagin, and a very cheap yet OEM equipment.

Review of RAVPower Qi-enabled wireless charger w/lots of pics!!!

This is a review of RAVPower Qi-enabled wireless charger. http://www.ravpower.com/ravpowerr-q...ss-charger-charging-pad-white-us-version.html , http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower®-Wireless-Qi-Enabled-Incredible-Single-Position/dp/B00DMZPQIG/
I was always envious of devices that have wireless charging enabled, especially since my Note 2 had that feature disabled by Verizon. Now, I finally got a chance to experience it with our new Nexus 7 HD tablet. As you aware, the official wireless Nexus 7 charger is $50+ and I wasn't too crazy about small footprint and thickness of it, makes the tablet easier to knock off. After some search, I decided to test universal wireless charging pad from RAVPower. Here is what I found.
The product arrived in a nicely packaged box. It included the wireless charger pad, VERY high quality usb to micro usb charging cable with 22AWG wires (those are thicker wires with high current and high voltage rating!!!), a quality AC usb wall adapter with 1.5A rating, and a detailed manual. The best usb charging wire I was ever able to get in the past for my Note's 2A charging was w/24AWG gauge wires, 22AWG is actually rare. The charging pad is very lightweight, only 3.8 oz, and has very slim dimensions of 5.7" x 3.1" x 0.3". This is very important because you don't want your tablet to be wobbling on a small and thick charger pad. The top surface has sandblasted finish and there is a rubber ring in the middle for additional non-slip grip. The front of the pad has led which is red when you power up the pad, and blinking white/red when you are charging your device. The other end has micro-usb port for a power cable. That's all, very simple and clean.
All you have to do is power it up and put your Nexus 7 on top, approximately centered in the middle. You hear a beep and it starts charging. I have a little charging-doctor dongle which monitors the current and I confirmed 0.8A which means the pad was actually drawing 1A of charging current without a dongle (the dongle by itself draws it's own current to power up led display and internal circuit). I did this test without a case just to show maximum charging speed. With a case, I'm using my last year N7 case temporary while waiting for new ones to arrive, I had no issue charging it as well, but I'm sure charging current/speed will be a bit less since the case adds a distance between wireless pad transmitter and N7 receiver.
Overall, I was very impressed with this product and can definitely recommend it to any Nexus 7 HD user. Keep in mind, this is universal charging pad so it will work with your Nexus 7 or any other Qi-enabled wireless charging devices from Samsung, LG, Nokia, etc. For $35 shipped US locally, backed by 1 year warranty, and including 1.5A usb AC wall charger and very high quality usb charging cable - its a great value!
Here are the pictures.

Awesome review, just ordered one.
Good review. One thing that I do which might help if your woried about knocking the tablet off the charger. I put my N7 face down and just put the charger on top of it.
Also I'm having a new table made which will have my Nokia charger in bedded into to it so that it sits flush with the top of the table.
chinese, ebay, $14, works through my Poetic case, arrived in less than a week.

Review of Anker 40W 5-port USB wall charger w/lots of pics!!!

This is a review of Anker 40W 5-port USB wall charger. http://www.ianker.com/product/71AN7105-BA
Anker guys never cease to amaze me. Just when I think I know what to expect, here comes another surprise. I just received their new 5-port usb wall charger, and was thinking to myself it's probably the same as my previously reviewed 25W 5-port charger, just 3A of additional current. But was I in for a big and pleasant surprise! That original 25W 5-port charger became my irreplaceable everyday accessory with access to charge 5 separate usb devices from a single compact charger plugged to one wall outlet. The new 40W is a big step up, and here is why.
Typical for all the latest Anker products arriving in eco-friendly packaging, the box is also made out of recycled carton with a zero hint of plastic. Upon opening it up, you are presented with a small usb charger and a 5ft detachable cable. When I say small charger, I really mean the size of most common single usb output 1A chargers. With a dimensions of 3.6" x 2.3" x 1" and weight of only 4.6oz this charger is even smaller and more compact than original 25W charger, something I didn't expect considering this new charger is 40W (8A) rated versus 25W (5A). Don't get me wrong, the original 25W charger is still a fantastic product, but they just made it obsolete by releasing a higher capacity the same 5-port charger in a more compact package. Furthermore, the exterior is now wrapped in a soft touch material, similar to their 2nd gen Astro external batteries. It's less slippery, less prone to fingerprints, and feels a lot more rugged especially when you take it with you on a trip.
Upon further examination, the next big change is ALL 5 ports being universal without any apple/android/ipad/samsung labeling. The original 25W version was partitioned with ports for specific devices. Sure it was a good idea, but it required constant close up reading when plugging my other than Samsung (Note 2 is universal with any output) gadgets. What does this mean? Every port is universal with a smart feature and its own microchip to determine max charging speed of the connected device to adjust current supply accordingly, even for the latest iPad with 2.4A. Basically you can have 5 separate devices plugged in and each one will have a tailored current supply adjustment for a total that can't exceed 8A. So unless you are planning to plug in 5 latest iPads, you are in a pretty good shape with more than enough of current supply. For my test, I actually had my Note 2 plugged in by itself to confirm average charging of 1.7A, and then plugged in 3x Nexus 7 tablets (two 2012 and one 2013 edition), and the current draw on my Note 2 stayed the same while Nexus tablets were charging at their corresponding 1A/1.5A speed.
Overall, at the current moment you will not find anything even remotely as advanced as this new 40W 5-port USB wall charger which can power up 5 separate gadgets (a mix of Android, Apple, and any smartwatch, headphones, mp3 player, etc.) and provide a combined 8A of regulated and smart adjusted supply for all it's ports. With such a compact package, 18-months warranty, and for only $25 plus change - I consider this as a MUST HAVE accessory for anybody. Period.
Here are the pictures (the white one is the original 25W charger, for comparison).

I updated the link in the review with the one directly from Anker. I have been told those were sold out in the first few days and now they are waiting to get more in stock. So better use direct Anker link since out-of-stock amazon link doesn't show up.
Was finally able to grab one this morning on Amazon. Definitely a hot seller!

Review of Anker 60W 6-port desktop USB charger w/lots of pics!!!

This is a review of Anker 60W 6-port desktop USB charger. http://www.ianker.com/product/A2123111 , available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P936188/
It's very interesting how some gadgets become a very important part of our everyday life. I used to consider my smartphone, smartwatch, some headphones and audio players part of it, and now I added multi-port usb desktop charger to that list! When you have one or two devices to worry about - you can use individual wall charger. But considering an average household where you have at least 2-3 smartphones, a few tablets, wireless headsets, smartwatches, wireless speakers, portable video games, etc - you can end up covering every electric outlet with a wall charger spread around the house. A solution? Get yourself a multi-port desktop charger, preferably with an extended power chord for extra flexibility. Easy said than done because now you have to worry about being able to supply enough current to keep all the plugged in devices charging at the maximum speed. Do you want the best solution? Here is what I found.
I have reviewed Anker's previous 25W and 40W multi-port chargers, and also 60W charger from another company, but their latest 6-port 60W desktop USB charger simply the most efficient and compact solution to date. I'm not hyping it up, just stating the fact. You get a slick compact design, a bit larger than it's predecessors but still smaller and more compact than Bolse unit. You have a total of 60W of power which translates into 12A of current shared between 6 available full size USB ports. And the most important - PowerIQ technology which senses maximum sink of your connected device and sources up to 2.4A of current per port. Just keep in mind, you can't exceed a total of 12A, but still can have simultaneous connection of 5 latest iPads charging at full speed of 2.4A per port!!! Or combination of 6 different devices with up to 2A per port all at the same time.
This is just a no brainer, for under $36 you are getting the most powerful and compact desktop charger able to supply a whooping 12A of current across 6 smart ports. Plus, you are getting 18-month warranty and top notch support. Also, I want to mention that I appreciate how Anker is constantly trying to update their packaging to cut down on waste. This time they have instructions printed inside of external packaging sleeve - just brilliant! Overall, in my opinion this is one of those "must have" devices that you need in your house. I have 40W 5 port charger on the first floor of our house and this new 60W 6 port charger going upstairs to get us covered around the house.
Here are the pics.

Underpowered
I just test this 60W Anker, but unfortunately it was underpowered. My power banks draw much less current than if I'm using Samsung 2A wall charger. Anker claims that each port are capable of 2.4A, it's far from the truth. Now, I understand why reviewers didn't want test the outputs by using charger doctor.

I didn't use Charger Doctor because it's very inaccurate. As I mentioned in my Charger Doctor review, it's helpful to use it for relative comparison rather than accurate measurement. I'm actually a bit surprised you can read 2.14A from Samsung wall charger. Isn't that 2A charger? And they don't even supply exactly 2A but rather 1.8A due to efficiency conversion drop.
I'm gonna try to remember taking some measurements when I get back home, using both Sammy wall charger and Anker 60W charger and Charger Doctor.
Also keep in mind, the charger will provide (source) as much current as the connected device needs (sinks). Anker wall chargers and their ext batteries use smart IC that adjusts the current according to how much devices sinks. Have you run the same experiment charging up your phone or a tablet? Charging an external battery is NOT a good test because some batteries have variable charging speed preventing them from overheating and when it gets close to full, ext battery enters a trickle stage of a slow charging at reduced current.
Anker 60W 6-port vs Samsung 2A wall chargers
I agreed that this charger doctor might not accurate, but with Samsung 2A wall charger (ex-S4) and Xiaomi power banks (Input = 2A) it will show exactly 2.1A Proven by others as well :

You're right, this meter is only for comparison, but at least we can talk in the same language by using the same meter.
testing with charger doctor
@vectron
I have tested this Anker 60W vs Sammy2A :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeHd3oannrU
The Sammy 2A wall charger charged faster (2A) than the Anker 60w (1.5A).
Instead using other cable, Mi powerbank will draw power best using cable that come with it, just try it using charger doctor.

Right, the original Mi cable is good can draw straight 2.1A but the durability is not so good.
How much noise do these things make?
With every chinacharger on the market I have had noise issues.
They make a very high squeeking noise which drives me insane at night.
It's difficult to hear if your just doing things or talking, but when it's quiet I hear a buzzing or a high squeaking noise.
Not compatible with Xiaomi power banks ?
I'm very grateful if you could test to recharge your Xiaomi power bank as mine only tops @1.5A :crying:

Sorry man, been busy with a lot of reviews.
I just tried it with different Anker chargers and Choetech and some other brands, and it always charges somewhere between 1.3A and 1.5A, not just Anker but others as well. They all use smart IQ charging chip, and I think Xiaomi bank has a variable charging speed, since I see the charging current varying. And as my original test showed, original Samsung wall charger gives the fastest charging speed.

Wireless charger suggestions?

Seen a lot of different ones on amazon and ebay. Just wondering what wireless chargers are worth getting.
I use Samsung's wireless charging stand, since I had it already from my S7. It works great with the G6.
I wonder why LG did come out with some new stuff for the LG G6?
Samsung had a bit of new Qi chargers( Dex), headphones..etc?

Is the fast wireless charging working on it? I read somewhere fast wireless charging doesn't work on Samsung's chargers

LG has their own mew fast charging unit. But they did not include the tech in yhe LG G6 they'll leave it for the v30 im sure. Imo if im wirelessly charging I'm not trying to fast charge anyhow. I've used many and IMO almost all built the same. Some have 3 coils for easier placement and some are smaller to take up less room. I literally just ordered this. 20% coupon code too. Plus Amazon 30 day return policy is amazing. For testing stuff. Not at all my video or advertising just sharing my experience.
I went with the CHOETECH Qi Model T513 wireless charger. Works great. I don't like stand chargers because I have kids and I'm sure they'd manage to knock my phone off of it... repeatedly. () I chose this one because it was decently priced, only about $20, and works great. Also has nearly all great reviews.

It just shows as standard charging, but typically I only need to charge my G6 at the end of the day and let it charge overnight, so I don't mind. If I need a quick charge, I just use the type C charger.
I got the CHOETECH T811C. It's cheap and seems pretty solid. Works through my case with no problems. I don't have any issues trying to find a "sweet spot" for it to start charging either, like I had with a previous charger.
I bought two chargers. One for work and one for home (bedside).
I use this one at work (the charge light was too bright in the room at night):

This one at home:

So far, I'm very happy with both.

I've had this for a couple years now and just pulled it out the closet. I recently picked up a G6 and thought I'd give it a shot. To my surprise, it worked like a charm. I haven't noticed how fast it charges because I leave on overnight just because it's easier to deal with in the dark. I haven't noticed any heating issues as it doesn't seem hot when I remove it. All in all it has worked well for me.

I too use this charger. Works great for me.
EDIT: Used to work. Now it works for about 30 seconds and then flashes error. I think that it might be because of my case. Not sure thought as I'm not going to take my case off every time I charge.
I also have one of these https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Wire...sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+wireless+fast+charger It works fine even with my case. It didn't work well for my G4 and the tylt worked well with it not my G6 works well with my samsung and not with my tylt. Go figure.
I have two of the vertical stands chargers from Seneo. Phone sits on its all day at work, and all night when sleeping. NEVER gets hot. Definitely recommend and purchased off Amazon. I wish it didn't have such a bright charging indicator light on it or at least the option to shut it off, but nothing a little black marker can't fix.

I had a cheapie Adrema, surprise it works and charges at 1.5 amps, faster than my original Samsung wireless ones. My G6 also works with my Belkin one.

Any good with a soldering iron?
A resistor of ~330 ohms 1/8 watt in series with the LED will dim it to what should be a suitable level.
Maybe I tinker with stuff too much

I can solder, not great but doable. Although in this case it's not remotely worth it. If I were to open this up I'd just disconnect the light altogether.

Yeah I get ya.
But I'd just have to get inside, the over-bright LED would do my head in. I bet it's blue too...?
I definitely tinker too much.
Hi,
I have recently bought choetech wireless charger for my g6. The charger also comes with micro USB charging cable. What i love most is that this wireless charger comes with integrated smart chip inside it that resist the wireless charger pad from overheating.

The official Samsung wireless charger seems to work pretty good and comes with it's own micro usb wall plug. It's on sale for $9.99.

I walked into a Best Buy and ask them for a price match. The price match was approved quickly.
Picture frame with built in wireless charging.
Purchased Qi charger off Aliexpress and taped inside picture frame. Had to remove glass for reliable 1 amp charging. Phone held in place on the edge of inner frame.
