Hi
I'm looking for a dock now for two reasons, once is I got extra battery and I need charger for it and second is because its cool ;P
But I use case (double protection silicone + plastic) and all I find is those who fits the dhd with no cover.. :/
I cant believe that not most of the people use case protector so these stores would make atleast 1 dock that would fit it..
I also tried to contact about 20 different stores asking them if it would fit their dock and all said no
Can you please help me find 1?
That fits with case and of course can charge batteries..
Thanks,
Yarden
anybody?
don't be shy..
Same question here...
Ive had a really good look around Ebay but havent found any myself. Also quite interest...I believe its because the USB plug is not able to support the weight of the phone therefore, needed to sides to be supported as a result, these docks are made to the shape of the phone, without case.
I hate it but you are right..
I'll just build my own custom one.

Then bring it in production, i'm sure it will be popular!
Got my Touchstone direct from HP today and first thing I tried it with the TP in it's case, good news is it charges fine, the bad news is the case has a metal stud on the back where it swivels and that got red hot in a matter of minutes! I mean hot enough to blister my skin and melt through the plastic protector I hadn't got around to taking off the Touchstone.
So.. warning!!! - Don't get any metal between the TP and Touchstone, they do not mix!
Anyone that knows how induction works is aware that the first rule of using such a device is that you never, for any reason, get any ferric metal between an induction coil and its target.
Which case are you using, just to warn anyone else?
I have the stock HP "snap on" case, and didn't experience this problem.
Will have to remember to keep my phones away from the dock, so it doesn't mess up their magnetometers...
The case is a generic leather look one off eBay, the one that acts as a stand and allows the inner tp section to swivel 360deg. I've since removed the pop stud from the inner section altogether since the touchstone acts as a stand and the outer can still be attached for transportation protection.
The point about ferrous metal is valid, it just didn't occur to me at the time and probably wouldn't to many others, hence the post.
It's a good thing you posted. I have no doubt it most likely saved several people from experiencing device destruction or possibly a small fire.

Although a better-worded title would make more of the right people actually READ the thread. Something like "Danger - don't fry your TP accidentally!"
You're right, it's done.
should put this thread as sticky!

But most people don't know how induction works (or even a microwave). I'd hope that the cross-section of these people and those who have purchased a Touchpad+Touchstone doesn't have too much intersect though.

+1 this is bound to end in tragedy
Has anyone tried a touchstone charger with a zippered case? (Something like this.)
No but it should be ok in the horizontal position as long as the zip is at the top. Of course if the zip is not ferrous metal then you have no problem apart from trying to balance the thing on the charger in that case.
Just wondering if anyone who has cut a hole out of their Case-Mate tough can confirm the DK32 can be used to charge the phone then 1 way or another?
It just depends on if it can work with the case-mate as to whether or not I buy a dock.
Thanks

I know that this doesn't answer your question, but someone already did the "dock hole cut" mod, although he doesn't mention if he uses a magnetic charging cable or a DK32 dock.
You should go HERE and ask for it, or just PM the member who did it.

It didn't work for me. I haven't tried it with a magnetic charging cable yet.
Even if it would charge, the phone doesn't fit properly in the dock, not even with the spacers that are provide with the dock.

Thanks that really disappointing news though, I cant handle messing about with the flap every time just to charge the phone
I have the Samsung OEM Wireless Charging back on my Note 4 and the issue I am running into is finding a protective case that fits with the added thickness. I tried a QI charge tab just added inside the standard back, which was ok, but the charge receiver died pretty quickly.
Anyone have any experience finding a case that works with this configuration?
Thanks!
Peter
I'm in the same boat as you Peter. I have an Otterbox and another at home that don't fit. I've also talked to Otterbox and they said they have no plans to make one that would fit with the charging cover.
Hopefully, someone can find one soon that fits properly. I hate having my phone naked!

I wonder if the blue Samsung Protective+ cover will fit over it.

Thanks Bbc, but I doubt it. I don't think with the added thickness of the cover, it would fit. If someone would be willing to try, I'd appreciate it.

Need a wireless charger for my GS6, thanks.
I've had this PowerBot for a while and it works fine. Price varies a bit depending on the color your want. It may not be the fastest, but I'm OK with that as it does not get the phone too hot either.

I bought one of these based on comments on XDA, and bought two more after confirming that it is excellent. Each unit has 3 coils, so it reliably charges the phone in numerous different positions. It is grippy on both the top and bottom, so it snuggly holds the phone and stays securely on the table-top. It is small, but not too small -- the width is the same width of the phone and the length is about 75% of the phone's length. I always place my phone flush on the surface with the camera bump hanging off the top of the charger, and it charges beautifully. Finally, it causes no considerable heat and no whine or noise of any kind.
A couple things to note: (1) It does not come with a USB wall wart. It only has the charging pad and a micro-usb cable. (2) It does not work with Samsung's fast charging USB wall wart (not sure why). (3) There is a blue LED that lights up when it's activated, which might bother some people (I've covered mine with electrical tape).
What's wrong with the suggestions in the other threads?
@eyc, I'm using a metal bumper case, does it still work with the case on?
BTW, it looks just like what I want, simple and attractive.

I couldn't tell you because I haven't tried...and I don't have a metal case to test it. My wife has an S6 with a thin silicone case and, as you would expect, it works perfectly fine with that. I have an S6-edge, and I keep it bare. While I don't have personal experience with a metal bumper case, I can only speculate that this charger will work as good as the best in light of the 3 coil system. Good luck.
it looks just like what I want
Someone else made a thread about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/accessories/best-wireless-charger-galaxy-s6-t3101501
I personally have the official one from Samsung. Works fine and haven't had issues with it. Use it for both S6 and S3 (yeah, I still use it as my media player when I'm at home, so I'm not eating up battery on the S6)

Forgot the pic. Here it goes. It will flash blue light once you connect it to the power, and it will only flash one time to indicate that the power is on and no other led light at all, so it won't disturb you even put it in your bedroom, love it so much.

I'm glad you like it bud!

I have this one as well, I agree is is excellent, I had a spare HTC 2 Amp charger plug that works great with this wireless charger. This charger gives off very little heat and charges fine through my Otterbox case.

I tried the metal "Platinum" cases from BestBuy and none of my 4 Qi chargers could charge through it. The metal definitely seems to interfere.
EDIT: When you say "metal bumper", do you mean only the edge is metal, like the Spigen Hybrid Pro? If so then of course that metal would NOT interfere.

Yes, that's what I mean. I don't have a full metal case to test for you, sorry can't help you.
This charger works very good so far, It charges very fast even with a tpu case on.

I bought this one from ebay in the UK thinking it would be the same, but it has 4 bright blue LEDs that are lit constantly when in use. Returning it now.

What a pity, someone likes leds, it can indicate you while charging, but if you want to use it in bedroom, no light will be better. The charger I bought only
ship to us and Canada:crying:
You can choose the 3 coil based wireless charger by CHOETECH as I am using it from last 1 month without facing any problem. There is no need for alignment as the Galaxy S6 starts charging when it gets in contact with any of these 3 coils. I bought it from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JA7HNZO/
