General QI Wireless Charging Receiver for the Poco F3 (TESTED WORKING)

[johnr64]

I have been a fan of wireless charging for many years since my LG G4,

with the optional, QI charging rear case,

As the F3 lacks QI charging, i have been struggling to find a compatible charging receiver,

after buying 2 incompatible charging receivers, the black type with qi printing in the middle, from a well known UK auction site.

I thought I would try ALI, as i buy bits from there and came across this type in the photo,

and I can confirm it works a treat.

I use my F3 in a flip case and the receiver is still working up to a depth of 5mm.

Buying this QI charging receiver means Less wear and tear on the charge socket

and also helps a bit with water proofing and protects the socket from Dirt & Fluff

Could you link the item you bought from Ali that worked?

How much time do you need 2 charge a full battery ?

 

[johnr64]

Hi,
I have just checked Accubattery and a 30% charge (30 to 60% / 1.209 ma) took, 1hr 22m and this only achieved 0.04 battery wear cycles using a Swalle 5w wireless charger,

this is perfect for me

regards

Hi,
I am a low phone user and find that a 60% charge lasts me around 8 hours before I hit 30%.

I use a brilliant program called Advanced Charging Controller (ACCA) , that keeps my phone nicely topped up between 30 & 60%, i have just checked Accubattery and a 30% charge (30 to 60% / 1.209 ma) took, 1hr 22m and this only achieved 0.04 battery wear cycles, this is perfect for me

regards

You need to read more user feedback lol

It's not recommended to be using it on xiaomi phones.

The chip in charge of charging will eventually die ( get corrupted or whatev ) and the phone becomes permanently bricked.

Aosp rom's experimented with it few months back , then fully removed it soon after reports came in.

Hi,
thanks for the heads up, i also read that users were depleting their batteries to 0%, using (ACC) then were unable to recover from a dead phone,
i also read that to recover from this issue was to leave the phone plugged in for a long time or to jump start the phone buy putting a small amount of external charge into their battery,
yes this does mean removing the battery from the phone and injecting a small amount of charge.

I might just buy a spare BM4Y from ALI for around £16 including taxes just in case.

I have two battery charge alarms set to 25% for peace of mind of,
not getting anywhere near 0%

IF I AM INCORRECT THEN I WILL EDIT MY POST,

Keep me informed,

cheers.

You do you man xd...

Not something I wanna mess with at all , I've experienced plenty amount of times having the phone discharge while plugged in with that app installed.

Even when I go to bed and leave the phone plugged in , I wake up and battery is 40-50% lower than what it was the night before... I had 2/3 nights of wondering did I forget to plug the phone and sleepwalk into plugging it in few minutes before waking up?

It's crazy bad on this phone , If I was to ever use it for something that would be to disable battery charging altogether and power the phone fully from outlet when in use - but that toggle doesn't work either xd

I see no use in it , more trouble than good in using it. This is a really shet phone , one that I don't see myself using for long.

Thank you for your Update,
i don`t charge my phone overnight,

i will edit my listing in case anyone else faces your issue,

with new android updates, SMART CHARGING might be available for all phones and hopefully the devs can make it compatible with the F3.

Samsung already has this function working on some of their phones,

Cheers

i agree the charging chip might suffer if u set too many parameters, I personally use a charging limit set to 80% and leave everything else as default that should extend battery health and protect it from overcharging or staying on 100% plugged in, but I turn it off at least once a month and charge it fully.

Thanks for the tip, just received the linked receiver and it works for me as well.

Also tried two others before (generic one with "Type C" printed on it and one from Nillkin), neither worked. After finding this thread, I decided to gave it one last try.

Interesting detail: while trying to get the other two to work, I tried connecting them through a USB-C power tester and... it started to charge.

Hi,
I am glad i could help,

for all the ACCA Doubters, my F3 has been happily charging between 35% & 60% for the last 4 weeks and i have not had any issues with my phone not turning on.

I've been looking for many years for the ultimate battery charging app that restricts my phone from charging to 100%, to save on battery cycles and thus keeping my battery in tip top condition,

I can confirm that ACCA Nailed it.

For those of you that are interested in maintaining your battery,
this is how my F3 is setup,

I use the brilliant Descendant Rom V1921, rooted with Magisk for ACCA,

Advanced Charging Controller (ACCA),

also Accubattery to monitor battery cycles and Battery alarm by Zoran Vujacic, this warns me regarding my battery levels,

both apps are available from the Play store.

I set Battery alarm to warn me when my battery drops below 25% and above 60% i also use Accubattery to monitor my battery health and keep an eye on my charge cycles.

I charge my phone between 35% and 60%, acuubattery reports that i have only used 0.003 cycles, (this lasts me around 8 hours).

REGARDING ACCA

Do not let your phone charge drop to 0%, otherwise you may not be able to charge or turn your phone on, this issue has been reported using other xiaomi phones and roms.

Use ACCA at your own risk,

again i hope this helps someone,

What charging switch are you using? And did you able to change voltage and current?

 

[johnr64]

What charging switch are you using? And did you able to change voltage and current?

Hi,
I use Advanced Charging Controller (ACCA) as in my previous post, i don`t use Voltage/Current limit functions, i just set the maximum charge limit.

ACCA is a Software only based charging app, it requires Root access for it to work, i have attached some screen shots of ACCA, as you can see it has lots of useful functions.

I have also attached pictures of my slightly modified QI Wireless receiver, i did this by putting aluminium foil around the receiver to dissipate a little bit more heat.

As my phone is in a clam style case and with the warmer weather slowly on its way, anything to help the QI receiver with heat has to be a good thing, especially as the receiver is in close proximity to the F3`s Li-ion battery.

I hope this helps

Bought 2 of them (in case of) from this ali vendor and I can confirm it works fine with the F3, thanks OP
It works at full 1A/5W

EDIT: one of the receiver does not work anymore, tested with different chargers/phones :-/
