Wireless charging probkems

famouscollin · Nov 15, 2013

Just wanted to chime in, I think I've only used my usb cord twice to charge my phone. and I've had it since release, I us a QI enabled charger, and it works with my otterbox, quite spendy I must say its 'ideal' a japanese brand, but has 6+/- mm charging distance, id say the problem some people are having is look into the charge distance on your charging device. If its lower and your using any kind of case that could be the issue.. and as for it heating up and WARPING the back cover you have kernel or charging problem my phone has charged and ran ice cold since day one

I was having an issue at first with the fat boy as well. Phone heating up and not charging, or just cycling through charging/not charging. What stopped all the issues for me is making sure the charging pad is sitting at the top of the pillow. So I just opened the pillow and pushed the charging pad against the top of the pillow to make sure it's sitting flat and flush. No issues after a year. Just throwing my experience out there, because I was getting aggravated with it as well.

I've had great luck with the Nokia 900. AT&T has had it on sale for $25 for about a month now:

How is it the same? One has a core and one doesn't. That's a difference.

No it isn't. Imagine a year or two plugging and unplugging your phone into a charger. That use will wear out the charging port. With wireless charging, the port doesn't get used as often thus prolonging the life of the port.

If you plug your phone in at night, that is 365(6 for leap years) more plug ins on your port rather than just placing it on the wireless pad. Sometimes more than that, if you get an email text or call after you plug it in and need to grab it off the charger and plug it back in.

Still pointless and a waste of money. It would be better if they invented to to where the phone doesn't half to seat on the charger

How is it pointless? Some people do own their devices longer than a year. 8 months after owning my Rezound, the charging port wore down, now I have to wiggle it a certain way for it to charge. Wireless charging prevents the port from wearing out.

Is there any particular wireless charger that works best? I'm looking to get one soon.

My HTC just quit charging too. It's my fourth phone because I seem to drop them a lot. So it is relatively new , maybe a few months old. I use the Energizer charger.

Mine is over a year old and I have had zero issues with it. I finally decided to invest in a wireless charger and got the Nokia dt-900 from AT&T for 25$ so far I haven't had any issues with it at all. It doesn't get very warm at all and charges it up all the way. Have you tried another charger or tested another device on your charger to ensure its not the charger? Also are you on a custom rom that could be causing the issue?

My Saga is over. I took the phone back for a warranty claim, and they sent me an LG G2 by mistake. They said the exchange shipping would cost more than the phone so they let me keep it. But I did have to drive to the Verizon store to get a new Sim card, because they said that the LG Sim card was more advanced.

Wow you got lucky. Good luck with your new device.

Was going to post my frustrations as well, then I saw this. I have had two fatboys, one for work, one for home, since I got the phone maybe a month after launch. I love them, they're so convenient. I just noticed last night that after my phone was on the fatboy for a few hours, it had actually discharged since I put it down. Tried it on my other fatboy today at work and it's charging, but the phone is getting extremely hot. I know from months of use with the two wireless chargers that it doesn't get that hot. In fact, it is getting so hot I can't touch it, let alone put it in my pocket. I'm now curious how hot it is getting, if it got hot enough to mess up my home charger, and whether its dangerous to use my wireless charger. I'm expecting to wake up one day with a massive burn mark where the internal battery used to be.

Droid DNA Ran Over by Truck

My wireless charging worked fine until a truck ran over it and smashed it down into the snow really deep.

There was zero physical damage to the phone, it looks brand new, but ever since that day it won't wirelessly charge.

I've had it for over a year, so I am going to try replacing the OTA with a ROM and see if I can get some better performance out of her, but I think the wireless hardware must be really sensitive.

Is that a joke? I'm pretty sure of your phone got ran over by a truck it would be done functioning all together. Unless you had some heavy duty case protecting it but I doubt any case can prevent damage when a truck runs a phone over.

These DNAs are pretty durable. If you read him right. It was in snow, meaning it probably didn't have much weight on the phone at all.

My DNA got dropped in a pool of water during my auto accident and it still functions fine. It is amazing what these things can go through.
