Has anyone had any luck getting a qi receiver to work? I really miss wireless charging on my Nexus 6. I've tried 3 different receivers from Amazon and none of them seem to actually charge the phone. Two of them showed slowly charging but didn't actually charge.

Um. I don't think the phone supports wireless charging. Or am I wrong?
The PH-1 does NOT support wireless charging.
The closest thing you're gonna get is when their charging dock comes out which will charge the phone through the 2 pogo pins on the back of the phone.
Lol there's no Qi coil in the phone.
They have their own magnetic dock thing coming soon. It's not Qi.
I think the OP is aware of that. He said he tried Qi Receivers, which are add-on strips you can get to add wireless charging capability to your phone through usb. I've used them in the past but never had good luck with them since they charge slower than the phone consumes power.

I've had decent luck in the past and don't really need it to charge fast. I want to drop it on my bedside qi charger as long as it charges to full overnight.
Had luck with this one on a Moto Z.

Thanks. May be worth it a try for that price. Looks similar to one from Amazon that I did try but sent back.
When you plug a Qi receiver in, pull down your Notifications bar. Do you see a notice that says USB is Supplying Power to the Attached Device?

I don't see any abnormal notifications. It shows charging slowly on the lock screen and the battery meter seems to indicate that it's charging. However, the battery decreases as it sits on the charger as if it's not really charging at all.
More details, please.

CHGeek qi Receiver from Amazon
Nillkin "Magic Tag" qi Receiver from Amazon
Neither of the above receivers did ANYTHING for my PH-1 with this Samsung charger, meaning that the charging pad didn't even acknowledge that a receiver was on it. However, it charges my Samsung S6 just fine.
Samsung charging pad
However, this Samsung Fast Charger acknowledges both receivers. The PH-1 indicates that it is "Charging slowly" on the home screen, and "Charging on AC" on the Battery screen. Nonetheless, the charge rate is so slow that the phone consumes energy faster than the receiver charges.
Samsung Fast Charger
---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------
The CHGeek qi Receiver included instructions to only use the receiver with a 2- or 3-coil fast charger. That would likely explain why the Samsung charging pad didn't acknowledge the receiver. Furthermore, if the Samsung Fast Charger is only a 2-coil charger, that might explain why the PH-1 indicates that it is "Charging slowly".
So, my questions for the OP:
Which receivers did you try?
Which charger(s) did you try?
Were any of your chargers 3-coil chargers?
A little more info:
The PH-1 charger includes these details on its base.
27W USB
AC ADAPTER MADE IN CHINA
MODEL: KSA-27A-090300HU
INPUT: 100-240v~50/60HZ 0.7A
OUTPUT: 5V===3A OR 9V===3A
The specs on both of the receivers I've tried are:
Output:5V/1A(Max)
Charge Efficiency:≥70%
There's a distinct supply and demand mismatch IMO.
Make your voice heard
I tried using this Incipio 3-coil charger and it did not improve the receiver's output. I have contacted Essential and Mophie asking them to make a case that supports wireless charging via the pogo pins. If Mophie makes a case, it'll likely support their Charge Force Powerstation and Charge Force Powerstation Mini.

I noticed that when I put the essential phone on the charging pad it keeps blinking, which means "unrecognized device". When I put other phones without wireless charging ability on the pad, the pad light doesn't blink at all.
That seems to me the essential phone itself has sort of built-in wireless charging/transmitting module.
Thus I suspect this built-in module interfere with the additional wireless charging receiver and prevent it from working with the charging pad.
Here is one experiment you could do:
try to move the receiver away from the back of the essential phone and see whether it could charge on the charging pad.

Good observation and good suggestion!
I already returned the receivers.
Also, I got canned responses back from Mophie and Essential about wireless charging.

well that's expected, considering the essential phone community is so small at this time.
if my suspect about the built-in module is true, I'd say they did such a great job to screw up all possibilities of wireless charging.

Anyone have experience with any wireless charging car mounts? I love the convenience of my magnetic mount, but the phone is too slick for it. Considering a different brand with a larger magnet, but I'm also considering going to a wireless charging car mount. I like the idea of the iOttie, because of the one-handed operation, but I'm open to other products as well. Any advice?
I will use my existing car mount and simply add this here...

Hi
I like the look of the iOttie wireless charger. I have no experience of wireless chargers. Will it output enough power to charge the phone while running apps like Waze for navigation? All I know is that my standard car charger could not keep up the charge on my S4 while I was running Waze until I got a new 2A car charger.

i just did this with my old owl wireless car mount that didnt work with qi. It was really easy with a hot glue gun and charges as fast as the samsung qi charging pad. One thing i would suggest is to use the qi charging board with the usb charging port connected by wires so you can easily place it anywhere.

Honestly, not likely. Even with the standard desktop Samsung wireless charger, I'm charging at around 340 mA. I would think that screen on and GPS and all that would consume more power than that, but I could be wrong. I think that if you're looking for a good, steady power supply, you want a cable. If you want convenience and at least some power, then wireless would work.
My airdock 2 came yesterday. Pretty amazing. The grip is insane. Took 2.5 months to get though.

if it can deliver around 400 mah then it is enough to charge your phone very slowly with waze running. my diy q charger will charge like 1% every 10 mins or so with waze and bluetooth on.

I read one or two reviews that the iOttie mount creaks a bit. Not sure about you but that would bug the life Out me.
Here's one that I bought that works really well with the S6 and numerous sized cases:
RAVPower Qi Wireless Car Charger Dock 3-Triple Coil Qi
I'd probably go with CHOETECH Qi Pocket Wireless Car Charger. Looks nice and have good reviews from different websites. I also think it is priced just right.

Well I'm using the windshield mount but as you can see the feet of the cradle (if this is what you mean) is not obstructing the audio cable port. If you're talking about the feet for the vent mount, that too is cleared because the cradle the phone sits in is a bit away from the vent mount feet. In any case if I were you or anyone considering audio playback through your phone then I'd go with a bluetooth receiver like this one. I have it connected to my cars audio port via noise isolator (some cars produce a hum when driving.. this cancels the hum). With this setup I literally just sit my phone in the cradle.. clamp.. turn on the ignition and it automatically connects my phone via bluetooth and charges. No wires to mess with.

Someone on the amazon reviews reported that one does not work with the S6. Further.. if you read the review of that person's post, Choetech followed up to apologize and offered a different (unrealistic alternative imo) solution.
If you are like me and miss the simplicity of wireless charging I have found a solution. If you have never heard of znaps it started as a kickstarter to bring magnetic charging to any Microsd, USB type C or lightning devices (similar to Mac). I preordered mine but the wait was killing me since it does not ship until January. I did a quick google search and found another company who is selling this technology on Amazon so I quickly ordered it with next day delivery and I have to say it works perfectly. It has a strong magnet and can be connected with ease either direction. It DOES support turbocharge, at first I had a bad cable but the new cable works. Installation and removal can be a little tough because you have to use force but they give you a tool to remove (trust me it will stick out and not go all the way in unless you push hard). It also supports sync as well but I really haven't put that through it's paces yet.
Now I am going to keep my znaps order going to test the two. Not sure if it supports fast charging.
Znaps has some pros:
1. You can use your existing cables. With this you have to order multiple cables for cars and so on.
2. The price is cheaper for the connectors
3. It is smaller (both insert and cable tip
So if you want something that connects quickly and without hassle and something that can go both ways give it a try.
Here's a promo video I found lol you have to laugh at how they try so hard to make it seem terrible the old way
Here are some photos:

I'm not sure but I doubt it. I think we will have better luck with znaps. I'm still waiting to hear back from their support. It charges slow so I would plan on getting this if you are like me and don't mind charging over night. For turbo charge you'll want to remove. I only charge at night so it works well

Can you transfer or sync data with the cable? If you can, you can turbo charge.

I can't try the charger that came with the phone since the cable is built in however I did try a quick charge 2.0 charger I purchased off amazon (this one) and it still has a slow charge. It's perfect to hold me over until znaps is out but it does take it's time.
I haven't tried that charger with a regular cable to make sure there is nothing wrong with the new charger but I can do that this afternoon.
I tried one of these to, but I think znaps will be better. My problem with these is the size. It's not really compatible with any cases. It does work with quickcharge, the notification LED would have to be facing upward though. Otherwise normal charge. And after getting it yanked back out, the usb port is forever stretched out. cables aren't as tight anymore.
The better solution for wireless charging would be one of the wireless receivers sandwiched between the phone and a case.
30 minutes on a wireless charger would equal around 8% charge increase on an MXPE.
30 minutes on the QC2.0 charger equals around 65% charge increase.
So, you can stick your phone on a wireless charger for an hour to get 16% life added, or I can stick mine on the cord for 8 minutes to get the same.
No thanks don't want it.
Another good thing about Znaps's design is that there is an adapter on the wire side, so don't need new wires/adapters. Can't wait...

I'm wondering if the piece that goes into my phone is defective. It does not quick charge in either direction. I will try swapping it out when I get home. Did you use this with the moto x?
EDIT: @regalpimpin So after removing the insert I had I verified my quick charger 2.0 would turbocharge by using a standard cable. Then I put in the other insert and still no turbocharge. So I'm not sure how you tested but mine will not turbo charge. I didn't notice the cable being loose after this device so I'm assuming you tried with a different phone/tablet?

I got the cable Friday, and tested it on the pure. The little pamphlet it comes with explains the charging. It will charge normally either way it's plugged in. But the data/ and therefore the quick charge only works plugged in the one way. I tested with an aukey 15000 battery pack. And got the TurboCharge toast notification when plugged in. Cables aren't loose now.. But they aren't as tight as they were. It's like its had a months use, and it wasn't like that before. Not a huge deal, but i'm sticking to the wireless receivers, and possibly the znaps when they come out as they'll be more case friendly. I'll probably just use these on some other devices. It was cool in theory.

I've got the tough frame for my MXPE on my phone currently, I love how it looks and feels, don't need anything else for a case. I wonder if this piece that plugs into the usb on the phone is too wide to fit into the hold cutout on the bumper. Can anyone verify if I would have to cut up my bumper if I bought this cable??
Is there a case available with a Qi coil built in, so I can slot in the 6P into the case which will have a type C connector on the bottom and will allow me to charge the phone wirelessly? This would be a good solution to avoid wasting my investment in my Qi desk chargers and Qi car docks.
I've not seen one but that would charge very slowly. Probably not a problem for an overnight charge but you would never be able to quickly burst charge your phone with Qi.

Basically I just want a case with a Qi coil built in and this coil has a USB-C connector that you plug in the 6P, like someone mentioned they make cases like this for the iPhone so it is possible, if you search for "qi chip micro usb" on Amazon you will see the adaptor for example. I would like either an adaptor or a case with the coil built in so I can just slide the 6P into a connector that is built into the bottom of the case. Charging time is not an issue because this is for overnight charging and for when the phone is docked on my Qi car dock during navigation.

There will be a Qi sticker that will fit under a case.
Just curious to those who uses the wireless charging since i have never used it before..
How long does it take to charge your phone using a wireless charger? (Any fast charging wireless charger out there?)
And does it consumes more power to charge a phone because they may be less efficient than normal cable charging?
Thanks

Fast wireless charging is only on the new Samsung phones. The Nexus 6 I have now will charge at 1A via qi so it charges kn about 3 hours but that's fine when I goto bed at night. Wireless charing is less efficient because you lose more power due in the form of heat which is why the speed is limited more than a cable

How long does it take to charge your phone using a wireless charger? (Any fast charging wireless charger out there?)
And does it consumes more power to charge a phone because they may be less efficient than normal cable charging?
Thanks

Takes a while. It's best for overnight charging or just trickle charging on your desk. If you're in a pinch and need juice, plugging it into just about anything would be faster. Most have a max output of 1A at 5V, so 5 watts, the input usually 2A at 5V, so 10 watts input. Samsung just came out with a faster wireless charger that has a freaking fan inside of it. Not sure of output and what the hardware requirements are for it. May be limited to S6 Edge+/ Note 5. It's purely a convenience. I never used it until my Nexus 6. For me its more of a pain in the arse since the nexus 6 has a curved back. Having an easel type would be best. It's harder to get it just right on the flat hockey puck looking chargers. Unfortunately for me, I have 2 hockey pucks... But the Samsung one I have has a larger pad so it works first time most times.

i am not sure but i don't think it's possible. the phone itself would have to be qi compatible in the first place so.... yea

Why would it ?
The coils create the current via induction, you can charge or power anything with a +/- terminals, as long as you feed the +/- correctly via the USB port or directly soldered to the batter terminals its will charge due to having a small amount of electricity to supply it.
There is no need for magical software to control it, you can try for your self, wire a LED to a QI coil and put it on a charger and boom the LED lights up.

It very easily possible that a company can create a case with QI wireless built in. They currently make several different modes for the iphone. Welcome to xda

Am I missing something here or what ... You have to keep something plugged in to use this? So if you want a quick charge you have to unplug it, then replug it to use a wireless charger?
Wow... Kind of defeats the purpose if so

I don't think think it defeats the purpose at all. I think most of the time the Qi would be plugged in but occasionally pulled out when you needed a large, quick charge. It would help if there was a place to retract or dock the Qi cable and I'd also be a bit concerned about the overall thickness.

With 3450mah...I think I'll be fine with a 20 minute quick charge.
I plug in every night anyway... Not really for me.... Especially with reversible cable.I guess I understand goggles reasoning. I prefer finding solutions for all day battery life then laying it flat to charge wirelessly. At 5 or 6 sot time were almost there for the heaviest of users

This means you would have to open your brand new Nexus 6P in order to install it. Not saying it wont work but I think this means loosing your warranty tho.
My opinion is that one is better off getting a compatible wireless charging phone instead of going through the trouble.

I could probably drain in and still only get 3 hours SOT knowing me... I used to get 5 hours SOT kb my Nexus 6 until I started syncing my emails and other stuff ontop of having my AW wath paired to it all day.

I'm coming from a Nexus 5 and had gotten pretty used to wireless charging. Had a mount in my car that supported Qi, and it had been at least a year since I messed with a USB cable.
Love my new Moto X and bought a coil that takes up the micro USB, but am having trouble finding a car mount big enough to support the larger MXPE. Any ideas?

I used the tylt vu car mount.
http://www.tylt.com/car-products/vu-car-wireless-charger
Worked really well. Phone (LG g2) would get pretty warm wireless charging with screen on navigating. I'm curious about this coil that you're using...please post a link. Thanks
mxpe 6.0
This is the coil: http://www.ebay.com/itm/25203978870...49&var=550898634010&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
It's pretty generic, but you have to have a thin case for it to work. You also have to get the coil with the microUSB oriented the right direction or else it will cover the screen.
I use this case which I like, but the coil shows through covering the bottom of the Motorola logo which doesn't look too pretty.

If I find a solution that works in the car I'll get a Seidio Surface, which would hide the coil completely, and is wireless charging friendly.

Tylt typically has sales often so don't let the high price be a detraction. They make nice products. Sign up for the email so get the sales. The vu car mount would easily handle the mxpe.
Edit: sprung for a qi coil similar (rerrii on Amazon) to the one you have. Invested in a case too. I did notice that there are only a couple cases that cover the Moto M. Tudia slim arch and JOTO hybrid to name a couple.

I like the Tylt, but I can't use it. I installed a USB charging port in my car (splicing the constant hot from the stereo). It charges much faster than the lighter port, which for some reason doesn't always work. So I was looking for something to straight to USB.
On a whim I ordered this charging pad which is .2 mm thick. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EBQ8RSG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Going to put it in the TaoTronics Universal mount. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MXWFUQC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Should be enough room there for both the pad and the MXPE. I'll use velcro tape on the mount and the pad to keep it in place (glue gun probably won't hold up in Florida sun). It arrives tomorrow, we'll see what happens.
I was also interested in wireless charging, so I got one of these universal charging pads for a few bucks. It plugs into the micro-usb port, and can be tucked into the case since it's very thin. Similar to this one:

The good news is that it works, is very convenient, and it doesn't generate much heat. The bad news is that it's horribly slow. I tried two different charging pads to make sure it wasn't the pad, and used it on my in-car 3-coil charger base, and multiple desk 3-coil chargers (which charged other phones at a reasonable pace).
To describe what I mean by slow - Ampere reports charging rate fluctuating around 200-400mA, however, it seems to only charge 10% per hour or so. I left it to charge last night at 30%, and I woke up and it's not even full.
If anybody else is getting better results, please let me know.

Don't forget that your phone is also using the battery at night. A charging rate of 200-400mA would barely cover the consumption, and that's why your phone doesn't seem to charge. IMHO anything less than 1000mA is useless with most current phones, and the standard really is 3000mA+ with Quickcharge 2.0.

Yeah I've more or less given up on the universal wireless receiver. It just takes way too long. Maybe one day there's be fast wireless charging receivers.
how well does the universal wireless charging coil charge? 10% an hour? if that's the case then there's really no point even using tbh. I really wished the Moto X Pure had wireless charging out of the box

Yeah it's too slow to really be useful. I tried two different universal charging receivers, of different design. What's unusual is that I used to use this solution on my LG G2 (which also had a 3000mAh) battery and it was much quicker.
I suspect there must be some difference in either the USB circuitry or maybe the kernel I'm using, as some kernels support an accelerated USB charging rate. In any case, looks like no good for now. Maybe one day there'll be universal charging receivers which support fast charge (like the S6/S7 has).
I saw this thread a few days ago and ordered the Tylt from Amazon. Due to the curved back adding to the thickness of the phone, it didn't work very will with my 2015 Pure Edition. Sending it back to Amazon. FYI...
I really like the back cover idea, even though I'm not sure I will be buying a battery back, at least not yet as they're waaay too expensive.
However, one enormous oversight from Lenovo/Moto is that the stock back cover doesn't have a QI receiver built in.
It's thick enough that a slim QI coil would fit comfortably, and not add any bulk from the "style mod"
It appears that the phone itself has the electronics required built in, so the thickness should not be affected.
(Based on the fact that there's a system service preinstalled about wireless charging)
I haven't been able to find anything on ebay or google, has anyone heard or seen something interesting?
Still no rumors but it's a bit early... anyway I'm pretty sure that a QI compatible cover and a slimmer battery pack (1000 mAh?) will be some of the first third parts MODs developed...
I'm assuming you are NOT looking for the Incipio battery with Qi Charger built in? I got one of those at best buy and love it, but there's no denying that it adds a bit of heft to the phone. Personally, I don't mind this at all and prefer a slightly thicker phone.
Well, for one that battery doesn't appear to get released in Sweden. The only back pack available is the non wireless at 120 something bucks. It's priced a little extreme imo..
(All things wireless charging are really hard to come by locally. Strange really since IKEA actually makes qi compatible furniture these days..)
And it really is a little on the thick side, although the fact that I can drop the backpack directly on a charger and still have my phone is genius.
A backpack with at most 1mm extra bulk from a style cover and some miniscule 1Ah battery built in would be cool though.
Should be possible, the ipad air has some really thin cells inside, I've used butchered ipad air batteries for several projects.
As a side note, the Chinese super premium brand Xiaomi is about to release a 2-way QC3.0 Type C power bank.
That could be a good middle ground for me.
How much bulk added? Like the JBL speaker bulk?
Can you post a picture what it looks like on your phone?

The Incipio battery is wireless charging ready, just check the model. I don't have any camera but you can see the three mods and compare them.

Yes, but please note that model in picture is without wireless charge option (MT-381-WHT).
Models with wireless charge are MT-382-WHT (white) and MT-382-BLK (black), even if they are identical from exterior ....
These days they are very hard to find and reserved by Motorola to few markets only...
After spending 25 minutes on the phone to Lenovo sales (rather than risk ordering the wrong one online) and having it double checked twice I'm waiting to return what they sent - just a moto mod charge pack not a wireless one as ordered.
After another three calls it turns out they are not in the UK yet.... unless you know differently??

Ugh... I sooo hate that. I mean, I know mistake happen, but when you do as much research as you possible can and double check with the company alerting them to the potential for a mixup and they still send you the wrong thing!

Versions listed on amazon in europe have a different code from the above, but are all without wireless, so they are about MT-381-xxx with different coding...

I know this is a little off-topic but I have the Tumi wireless charging battery mod and for the life of my I can't seem to find a way to consistently charge the pack wirelessly. It would always recognize that it's on a wireless charger and start charging for a few seconds then disconnect then reconnect then disconnect...so on and so forth. Does anyone have the same issue or do I have a faulty unit?
Edit: Old Hardware: ChoeTech fast wireless charger (10w max output) + ChoeTech adaptive fast charger wall brick + Generic USB A to Micro USB (to power the wireless charger)
Originally I had my ChoeTech Fast wireless charger hooked up as shown above. The issue wasn't the Tumi, the wireless charger or the power brick. It was the generic cable I used to plug the brick into the wireless charging pad. I switched to a higher quality cable that I knew would work with the max output of the adaptive fast charging wall brick and all my issues went away! Hope that helps!

Hi, I got a question, can the battery bod be charged (on the wireless charger) if the phone is not connected to it?
That would be very handy.
Thanks! :good:
yes
