Reddit reviews TYLT VU Qi Wireless Phone Charging Pad (Black, 3 Coil) Tilted Stand & Fast Battery Charger Station for Compatible iPhone, Samsung, Google, Android & Qi-Enabled Cell Phones

Here's my OnePlus One 64gb version in its case, tempered glass screen protector, and Qi receiver.

Everything works fine. The glass catching fingerprints still, though not as easily as the screen did. Edges weren't done great so I imagine they'll collect dust.

The case fits well and even allows for my Pressy unit (which is compatible) to be inserted without any flushness issues. Honestly fits it like a glove.

I'm using a microUSB "B" style Qi receiver to charge. On my TYLT unit, I can have the phone vertical or horizontal and it'll charge still.

I included a photo of all the packaging so you know what brands I bought. If you want to know the specific vendor I bought (and not shop on your own.. I was in a hurry so I paid a premium on all of them, at least 25% over what I could have gotten them if I had the time to wait).

TYLT Wireless Charger

EDIT: Charging Update!

At 25% charge, I put the phone on my TYLT dock from 12AM-5:30AM; phone was fully charged by the time I woke up! So yes, the charging is at least fast enough to fully charge my phone.

EDIT 2: 2nd Day Charging

At 14% charge, I put the phone to charge at around 11:30PM. At 5:30AM the next day, the phone seemed to have overheated at 76% and had stopped charging. Battery temp showed the phone was overheating at a ghastly 49 Degrees C! I will try one more night to see if it was just a fluke. Anyone want to buy me a new battery? Ha.

EDIT 3: 3rd Day Charging

At 53% charge, went up to 100% overnight. I made sure the receiver was right in the center of the TYLT dock to avoid poor connection.

In the afternoon I hit 17% because the phone was being ridiculous. Put it in the dock vertically without giving it much attention. Went up to 38% in 90 minutes, but the phone was pretty hot. Will charge the rest. If no new edits appear, it means I've stopped having issues with charging.

EDIT 4: ?? 7/15/14 Update

For those of you who want to use the TYLT to charge, be careful. My phone repeatedly overheats using this, going as high as 43C. Some research today shows it may be due to the metal in the phone activating ALL the coils, causing the phone to roast. I will try this official post by TYLT tonight to see if that helps. I have also installed this app from Google Play to monitor my battery and make sure the temperatures don't go too high during my testing, as I don't want to completely destroy my phone's battery in the first month. More reading on the heating issues here

EDIT 5: 7/16/14 Update

I added a block that's 1/2" tall to the bottom of my TYLT unit and then set my phone on top. Additionally, I removed 'High Accuracy' mode on the GPS to Battery Saving and disabled data (because those also generate heat inside the phone). Doing this, my phone never exceeded 38C. Charging overnight, when I awoke my phone was sitting at 100% charge idling at 36.5C, perfectly acceptable!

Tonight I will try to charge using the bottom wedge but leaving Data and High Accuracy on. I have installed Battery Temperature Guard to play an alarm if temperatures exceed 40C (still acceptable as you can reach this while gaming, but I don't want to have my phone sitting at that temp for 4-5+ hours!)

Possible items to use as 'blocks':

• Legos
  
• Mechanical pencil lead holders (stack 2-3)
  
• Giant pink eraser
  
• Double-sided insulation foam
  
  
  EDIT 6: 7/23/14 Update
  
  So it seems sometimes I can charge without any issues, other times the phone will charge very slowly. I've experimented with height positioning with the block mount to lift the phone, it seems anything from 2cm-3/4" will prevent the phone from heating. While charging I do not exceed 36C.
  
  I've also pulled the receiver out just a little so that I can pull the microUSB out of the port in case I need to charge via cable or connect to the computer. Time will tell if that will damage the cable, but for now it looks like it's fine.
  
  11/17/14 Update:
  
  If you're visiting here still, please note I have STOPPED using a Qi charger in lieu of an actual dock with microUSB connector. The charger worked, yes, but my phone was constantly warm, resulting in shorter battery life on a regular basis. Since removing it, my phone has been cool to the touch, and keeps its charge longer throughout the day.

Tylt Vu 3 has worked great for me. Looks nice, can use the phone while charging, the fact that the charging point for the nexus 6 is off center doesn't matter, and full charge takes about 4 hours.

TYLT Vu

Expensive, but solidly built and stylish. Wish the angle was a little but sleeper, but it's still pretty nice to see my phones display at a decent angle.


RAVPower Qi Charger/Portable Batter

Also kind of pricey, but worth it because it's useful and practical.

OP would you mind confirming that this is the TYLT dock you purchased? Thank you for the quality pictures and post. :)

Wireless charging with my TYLT Vu works fine with my Case-Mate Naked Tough Case. Never tried tap to pay though.

These a-hole jacked the price way up. So don’t buy this one. The other colors are still higher priced but not fucking $60

I have the Samsung back, this charger and this windshield mount for my car. It's convenient, but I find that my phone overheats a lot. I oscillate back and forth on whether to keep the back on the phone or not. I also find that it makes it impossible to use some of the battery packs like the mophie case.

TYLT Vu Wireless Charger. I love this charger! It's really easy to make sure it's centered on the charging spot.

yea nexus charger wont work.

I know of 2 that work for sure that I have bought.

This one

and This one

I got both for about 45 bucks at the time when I bought them. From what I am seeing shooting for a charger wiht 3 coils is your best bet for something that works properly.

One of those in on my desk at work, and the other at home so I use them both daily. Which they also charge my nexus tablet fine as well.


This one looks promising and cheap.I would try it if i didn't already have 2

$58 on Amazon. Still pretty expensive for a charger.

Tylt vu is by far my favorite.

I also have ankers charger but it is single coil so it is finicky on placement. It charges as fast as whichever adapter is used. I also us a QC 3.0 charger on that

Anker Fast Wireless Charger Charging Pad for Galaxy Note 5, S7/S7 edge/S6/S6 edge/S6 edge+, Nexus 4/5/6/7, LG G3 and Other Devices https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KJL4XNY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_w4SwzbYZQH0SS


The anker is faster, both gave fairly low heat input, I have the anker on my desk and the tylt vu at work.

Since everyone else is telling you it isn't possible, I'm just gonna recommend an actual wireless charger. TYLT VU. Looks great on my desk and any time my phone isn't in my hand, it's on the charger. Bonus that the stand is tilted and I can see notifications at a glance. Haven't plugged my N6 in once since I got it. I can confirm the black and red colors look great in person.

No problem. Thanks for Gold :)

Also another charger I really like is this one: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DG8NUC8?keywords=tylt%20charger&qid=1451921490&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

I one of those on my desk in my office and it works great as well. It's a little big since it will hold the nexus 6 but I have never had a single connection problem with it no matter what case I've had on it.

Here is a link for the amazon reviews. Seems like there are reports of it, but most people are not having any issues. Plenty of people on this sub recommend it.

I'm very tempted to pull the trigger on this but I might wait until the version 1.2 chargers are out.

This one is popular but expensive. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DG8NUC8/ref=mp_s_a_1_34?qid=1416407708&sr=8-34&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

I'm using this one cause it was cheap enough and I prefer the slight angle. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KMJ5QFS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1416407902&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40

This is a pretty solid charger. Some users report a little heat but I've never noticed anything I wouldn't already get from a regular plug-in charger.

These aren't docks, but they function like them:

One more thing, Qi chargers are pretty picky about placement. This charger has multiple coils so you can just slap your phone anywhere on it and it should work. I haven't bought one yet because I heard the placement thing was annoying, but I just saw this one last week and was thinking of giving it a try.

I've had very good luck with the Tylt Vu:

ahh my bad, I didn't even realize that there was a link :P Also, I guess it could depend on the charger. Mines a Tylt Vu

I have one of these and love it! I can put my phone, or watch, on it in any orientation and it still charges. The only problem is that the watch has to sit a little higher than just on the bottom in order to charge.

I've been using this: http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Charger-Galaxy-Nexus-Phones/dp/B00DG8NUC8

I did some research on wireless chargers for my N7 earlier today, and found that the Tylt Vu charges at an equivalent rate to a 1.0A normal (5V) charger, though it does so via 12v output at .75 amp. Based on its charge speed and other features, I decided to purchase it this morning -- despite a couple of small flaws.

Drawbacks are:

• The plug appears to be big enough that it might take up the space of two outlets on some power cords.
  
• The cost is nearly three times as much as some competing brands.
  
• Some reviews claim that it can overheat N5s if you put them on the stand in portrait mode instead of landscape. (I only have an N7, so this doesn't affect me.)
  
  Overall, I like the design and reviews claim that it charges as fast as a wired charger. What put it over the top for me was hearing that Leo Laporte uses this as his N7 charger, and he appears to be very happy with it.
  
  Keep in mind that I only just ordered mine today from Amazon, so the above information is just info I gathered through research earlier this morning.

I have one for my desk at work and one at home...

I got this charger back in April and it has been working wonderfully . No problems.

In addition to the above, not all wireless chargers are created equal. Cheap ones may not work with all phones or may require very precise positioning of the phone (which kills the convenience factor compared to wire). The one that is really good but expensive is TYLT. There is also a cheaper alternative which is supposedly a Chinese copy of Tylt.

I have a Tylt that I am very happy with. I heard that Itian A6 works fine, but I don't have personal experience with it.

i use the Tylt Vu:

I just bought an LG G3 and wireless charger through Amazon and buy stuff from their Prime Pantry. Not sure what stuff I'm not buying anymore.
Edit: Wireless Tylt charger has cut down the amount of cords on my desk. Takes my tablet and LG G3 w/qi charger. I love it.
