Next is wireless Wireless Chargers .
slicedpage some already exist. probably not that great tho cuz the internal battery life probably doesn't last long while charging another device
I think that'd be a good idea
slicedpage already exist, your late
***** a wireless wirless charger isn't made yet
***** you're*
But what happens if you.. use a wireless charger on the Galaxy S6 while it's also plugged in?... Super fast charging tech?
:0 i never thought of that
My guess would be that you would fry your phone with too much power. But I could be wrong!
phone wont allow duel charging.
they will go into cyberspace duel, the strongest charger will prevail
i'm pretty sure you don't want to strees a lithum batery, but hey! it's your phone. (pls video proof if you try, brb i'll go grab some popcorn)
Great video, I really think it's important to get a subtle feedback from your charger because I don't want a huge glowing thing next to my head when I try to sleep. I got my brother this RAVpower charger for his birthday because his Nexus 5 already supports it and I think he's happy with it. Really miss this feature in my G4
one question, is it okay to place magnet back of the phone (S6 edge+) when i use wireless charge and also everyday use? i am planning to use magnet so i can stand or place my phone any metal(or magnet) surface.
great idea in putting a small lesson at the beginning!
Wireless Chargers start at 2:24 - you're welcome
Jesse Evans thanks
thanks
Jesse Evans always find these comments once I'm almost to that time 2:20
Jesse Evans u saved 2:24 minutes of my life so thanks
Thanks you the man
I remember that video! It was Jayce's first video on this channel and it was on the Nexus 5
Gary, can you make a 2017 version of the same video for us?!
We need more in depth video's like this!
Great video and break down. But I was looking up pros and cons of wireless charging and the cons talk about heat generation. Do you know which wireless pad would generate a higher temperature conduction between the pad and phone's battery?
Great review Gary as always 👍👍
Hello I'd like to know what type of data type do I need to activate the process of wireless charging on my App, or phone
I love your in-depth videos!
Gary, its now Dec2016 - any new advice on these or newer chargers?
What about the heat output? Was it significant or about the same as fast charging?
+Android Authority can i use it for my note 3? Please Answer..
Thank You
so basically the wired chareger is faster, right?
but i think the wireless charging is fun and so practical since u don't have to deal with any cables specially only few devices use type-c port.
great video man..l hope you guys keep making such videos.
What would be a great option for a Qi wireless charging enabled pad to match and pair up with my lg v10 with an oem lg v10 back cover for wireless charging and Nfc
How about the heat on the pads? I've tested a few, but all of them tend to get warm... do any of those pads tested stayed cool during the charging process?
what's the actual advantage of charging via wifi compared to normal usb charging , & do you always have to have the wifi plugged into a socket or just when charging it ?
would you please do a test with the Samsung wireless quick charge when it is available?
Would having certain cases affect the charge?
RAVPOWER: I noticed moving the phone ever so slightly changes the mAh drawn. I used a USB volt tester for this. Sitting the phone totally central to the pad longways pulls 0.80mAh. But I pushed the phone lengthways closer to the edge where the usb cable is and it drawn as high as 1.41mAh. However it would often totally drop connection. So pushing it back centrally by mm by mm till I noticed 1.30mAh which it stayed at.
I bought an "onn" wireless charger yesterday. It heats up my LG G6. I don't know if I should keep using it.
Nice video mate~
I am very curious, what does the gcc (galaxy charging current) app show during wireless charging.
Does the battery run down faster over time using wirless charging that wired charging.
the wireless charger also has a wire. so what's the point of using this then? plus you can't play your phone while charing on the wireless charger anymore
does an Otter box defender case work with a wireless charger?
Great video everything i need to know to make a decision besides the price but that can easily be found!
Very Pro review; would be great if an update with the review of the faster charging version of Samsung is added as some has also requested
is that charger working with galaxy note 4 with qi wireless receiver ? plz plz reply me...
hi,can the wireless charger charge the phone without it being plugged to the socket?
can you over charge the battery via wireless charging?
Which kind schould i use for Samsung Galaxy Grand2?
what about tendency for phones to get hotter then usual when qi charging?
will a tough armor spigen case work with all these chargers?
@androdi authority! I have a samsung S7 is it compatible? I bought a charging pad called vibrant and cant find anything on that brand. Please help Cheers!
Can adaptive quick charging affect the phone's battery and its performance (If not immediately but in long term)?
Wud u please check out item universal wireless charger and lmk what it means when I put my phone on top andit just goes from a red light to a flashing blue and red light
I have the wireless Samsung changer. It's awesome, it really eliminates the hassle of one looking for wire behind my night stand... And two prolong wear and tear on the wire it self as I'm not constantly tugging on the cord.
Gary, I have a thicker armored sort of case that I don't want to have to take off every time I set the phone on the charger, is there one that you can recommend and would work, for info unit is galaxy note 5.
does a wireless charger support a aukey quick charge 2.0, and is safe to use in a galaxy s8+ :)
Will a 5w wirless charger charge my s8+ any slower than 6 to 10w or the same in the same amount of time?
Really nice.Thank you
I have the samsung circular pad and have been having issues charging my note 5 on it, I place the phone on the pad and everything is fine and dandy for about two to 5 minutes then I get the blinking blue light. samsung says its the placement of the phone but I have tried every which way possible....I have seen other with similar issues with the S6 edge+ and their note 5s so im guessing something is wrong with them because they gave them away for free
Do you have to take the case off before charging?
can u charge a phone wired and wireles at the same time?
Can that annoying led on the Samsung pad be switched off. If it's on a night stand that light would make falling asleep pretty hard.
very very very useful and informative.Big thumbsup!!
And can the new samsung fast wireless charger be used with the galaxy s6??will it charge the s6 faster wirelessly?
egk99 No, I don't think so.
What I want to know is what cases will work with Qi wireless and what more than likely will not. For instance, I have a Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro on a Nexus 6 with Verizon upright charger (kind of leans the phone at a bit of an angle upright). It happens to work effectively, no idea how long it takes just use it at bedtime. Say I wanted a device with an Otterbox Defender, as I need a belt clip holster at work, will it work or not? Haven't found much information on the subject.
How do you know if you have the capability for wireless or not?
I have the Anker ultraslim charger and use it with my Droid Turbo. I only recently got it and am already having problems, the charger puts off a lot of heat, i think im going to buy the RAV power one to replace it because i really like the convenience of wireless charging.
great work
Can the Rav charge two phone at once? if so, how many mA and hours for full charge?
brilliant video. still a sort of a gadget technology. more uselful and in a car compartment then on desktop where you have to plug in the wireless charger. what if wireless chargers come built in into the laptop? i guess the magnetism would interfere with the functionality of the computer system.
can i make any damage on my s6 edge plus with one aftermarket wireless charger?
No
+Android Authority
I have a piece of metal on the back of my phone case for a magnet car mount on my car. Will it damage the wireless charger if I leave the metal part on the phone case when i charge it?
can you also talk about pma wireless chargers as well as include qi fast chargers when available for review? this was great, I'm just greedy for knowledge.
Does the G3 have wireless cause in a video someone said it does
So is it posible to charge my Samsung A5 (2017) ???
very educative👏👏
what about Samsung's quick charging pad ?
perfect review
How does wireless charging affect the battery's lifetime? does it matter that you can remove and put back the phone on the charger more then you would on a regular charger?
So the other coil was already built in to the Android unit, for it to charge as an inductor
does the Samsung wireless fast charging pad work on the Samsung galaxy s6 edge
The palm pre did it the best way, the touchstone was way ahead of its time
Gary, great video. What about if you have a cover on your phone, will these chargers work? Can you test based on thickness of cover?
Does the Zenfone 2 have wireless charging option?
Another great video. I currently rock an HTC One M8 and want to add wireless charging to it.
+rsilinnyc then lets get.... under the cover
ThePogoBro You don't need to remove the cover in order to wirelessly charge it, you know
Rockz Gamer why did you reply to a year old comment?
I have the s6 edge and I use a ravpower wireless 5000mah battery backup. The thing is awesome. I also have a wireless charger car mount.
Interesting! I personally would have expected a difference in charging time too. Would it be the phone that limits the charging speed?
Jimmy Vlekke the receiving pad in the phone
Can the Samsung Fast Wireless charger charge the Galaxy S6 Edge as fast as it charge the Note 5 ?
i have a nexus 6 with a dbrand skin on the back, do you think it'll still charge with the skin on the back?
yes
yes i have a lifeproof case which is fairly thick and it works great
It was a very nice and well done video comparing the 3 chargers. I would like to have a wireless charger but it seems that different chargers are compatible for different phones or you need extra accessories. For example I have a Edge 6 and my Wife has Galaxy Note 2 & 1 charger would not suffice.
will it have any impact on the battery life span? i just bought galaxy note 5 and i got a fast wireless charger for free. but i'm not dare to use it. pls answer
I thought it would be the same charging it with the cord I just bought one today and I'm thinking about returning it and just stick to the cable.
Awesome video !!! very concise and informative !!!
I'm looking into getting one because the wired chargers don't work for my Galaxy s3 at all and it's driving me insane. I don't have to worry about this if I just have the pad that works well with phones and the cable is built in or resilient.
note s6 plus edge lol
4:35
Cory Barnes LOL, yeah I almost said that... :-)
lol xD
Lawlz
fusion
what about the Belkin wireless charger??
Good one....thank you
Wireless charging is a must have, with phones like the nexus 4 supporting Qi charging since 2012 *ALL PHONES SHOULD NOW SUPPORT THIS FEATURE*
I need assistance about Sim card AndroidAuthority.
I love wireless charging. Once you use it, it's so hard to go back to plugging in your phone. I've owned 3 different pads so far and all of them have been very similar in performance to each other. The ones I own are the LG WCP-300 puck, Nokia DT-900, and now a Spigen F300W (basically a Tylt knockoff). My only issue with qi is sometimes the phone can get a bit warm while charging otherwise it's great. So annoyed that more phones don't come with wireless charging out of the box though. I especially never understood why Sony never included it with most of it's Z line. It makes so much sense to have the capability due to them covering their ports on the Z line.
great video. thanks for the testing
I have both the S6 edge and the note 5 and both the Samsung wireless charger and the Anker wireless pad. I find the LED is very bright for the Samsung one as a bedside charger, which drives me insane. the Anker is a little less but still very bright in a dark room. I actually have one of my screen cleaning cloths over my Anker charger to cover the led. I think the Samsung one may be better at work as a desk charger, but is there a difference between the one they released for the s6/s6 edge and the newest "fast" wireless charging one they released with the note 5 and s6 edge+????
yes the fast wireless charger will charge in 90℅ of the time it takes fast wired charging. I just ordered the one that has a built in backup battery.
reviewing phone that can charge with cases on would be interesting.
I assume the whole point of this charging method is convenience . So how more convenient can you get to charge while cased ?!
I have a note 2 that charges very well with its silicon case on one charger yet on another I get nothing.
Love that doctor who background ! :D
Great video.

How to fix wireless charging? Nexus 7 2013. Is it the back cover? The internal hardware? It worked twice, and once it did after 30 seconds i lift it off and tried to see if it would still work but it didn't . I'm using the: "Anker Wireless Charger PowerPort Qi Wireless Charging Pad".
What i tried to do to fix it:
1. I tried to clean it with a link free cloth that didn't work. There is some fingerprints on it that i don't know how to clean off.
2. tried with NFC on and off
3. Tried with case on and off
4. tried landscape and portrait even though it's a circular charging pad.
Side note: Can someone confirm that size of the pad matters? I only have one.
If you're looking for a portable charger with wireless charging capabilities, might i suggest the QiStone+. It fits in the palm of your hand and can charge your phone up to two times. I have it for my S6 Edge and it works great
Thank you for a well maade instructional video!
I bought a nokia DT-900 wireless charging pad in 2014 to go with my Lumia 925. Its still working great even with my samsung S7 :)
great video
Informative video but I feel like you missed something vital.
The fact that the pads need a 1.5-2A input to achieve the Qi standard 1A output. I tried using my RavPower with an old 1A wall plug and it had problems connecting to my S6. This is in due to the efficiency rating of wireless chargers (I think Samsung rate theirs at 73% efficiency), as the total input current is not the same as the output.
This can also lead to slower charge times if the pad is plugged into a computer USB port.
Also the RavPower comes with its own 1.5A charger in the box :)
Gary, I have a Samsung Note 5 and the official pad. It for some reason only works once in a while. Many times I will put my phone on the charger and come back to find a drained phone! Now, after watching your video, I will just use it for a place to put my phone as it charges straight from the USB! There's $70 out the window. Thanks for the video and God bless!
Yes, put the RAV power sticker in my Galaxy Note 3 and got a RAV power dock. Works great, but causes the phone & battery to warm up more than charging with a cord. Heat is the enemy to Lithium Ion batteries used in phones (LiCo-C) so I imagine daily Qi charging will very slightly increase the rate at which the battery losses charge holding capacity over time, not a big deal. Lithium Ion batteries are damaged by camping on a charger once fully charged, so the slower Qi charging can be helpful for timing a charge in order to remove the phone at %85-95% before a full saturation charge is performed. This helps to offset the batt damage caused by the added heat of Qi charging.
More recently I got a Kyocera Brigadier and it has built in wireless charging. I picked up a much nicer looking Belkin Qi charger and it works with the Brigadier, although this phone will only QI charge if it is on. If I put the phone on the Qi dock with the phone turned off, it just heats up the phone without charging it.
what is the efficiency compared to directly wired?
***** Well Qi is limited to 5W maximum and yet the chargers were all drawing over 6W, so I guess at least 1W is being lost in the process.
