Hi, has anyone tried to charge their iPhone 6 wirelessly yet.

Do I need to add a phone cover to make it work ?

Thanks
Waggy

I've never tried it but yes you either need a case with Qi wireless charging built in for your iphone or something like this that lets you use any thin case

I may buy one now to try as its only £6.99 and gets decent reviews

Ok I've ordered one of those charging recievers to put behind my iphone case and also one of these for when not in car

It comes Monday so will let you know if it works

Personally, I'd choose something like this...

A bit more money but, more likely to work and not damage the charging circuitry.

Not sure if I am understanding this correct because have'nt tried charging phone wirelessly yet, thought as long as phone was comparable you just place on the wireless mat and away to go charges your phone. :roll:

 

[Leon]

iPhones are not QI enabled (yet), therefore you have to fit a QI adapter if you want to use wireless charging. Many phones cannot use QI wireless charging without fitting an adapter, if they are available for that particular mobile. I currently have a mobile that is not QI enabled nor can I fit an adapter. So the wireless charging mat is of no use to me just yet.

Thanks Leon, think at the mo I'm in the same situation as yourself, meaning my wireless charging mat is not much good for my phone at present, so when I do up grade phone need it Qi compatiable.

I'll put this here...

it may be of use to some people.

& my Xcellence was incorrectly built against the UK spec, so I don't have it but a deeper tray . I put the case (pouch) down first and stand the phone on top of it with the USB lead in. Enough room for that. One of the positive advantages off the incorrect build is the deeper flat tray..... I can just wonder at what I'm missing .... will look at that link.

What makes this better than the cheaper version posted above?

I need to buy one and I am worried about plugging a knock off 3rd party adapter in; charging seems too important to mess about with.

I was wondering the same thing myself as they both look to be almost the same :? If it is better its also £6 cheaper on Amazon than the site you gave Leon

The point I was really trying to make was to be wary of buying from Chinese companies with dubious feedback. The link was just advisory rather than an 'advertisement'. If it's £6 cheaper on Amazon, then that certainly is better than buying through my link. I'm risk averse. If 10,000 people buy stuff which either doesn't work or is not fit for purpose, then that would be nearly £70 grand in some con merchants account.

Bought the QI charger below
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B019GJI5CA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

have been using it ok with no problems but when i went out today and had a little drive around about 2 1/2 hrs , took phone out of tray and phone had overheating message it was red hot, not sure if case or this is the result of the wireless charging ???

anyone else had these issues ???

 

[Chrand]

I have a Samsung S6 Edge. And it´s getting very hot each time i´m using the builtin charger.
I think there must be something wrong with it.
I have 2 Samsung original QI charger at home and they do not behave in this way,

 

[trogette]

It's a bit pointless if you're going to use a linking app anyway, I found my S7 overheating when USB-ing and in the charger tray, so now I have it plugged in and next to the charging slot. I reckon it's only any good for Windows phones that don't have linking apps yet

Received my iphone QI pad thingy today and have given a quick test in a 25 minute drive back to work. The car picked up that I had put a Qi enabled device in the charging pad and started charging it up. There was also no interference or issues playing music off my phone at the same time I got the charging pad I mentioned as well but this seems a bit weird as the phone seems to turn the screen on and off every minute or so :? I will keep you posted how I get on after further tests.

 

[Kindness71]

Forgot to mention on the 25 min charging the phone did not seem to heat up at all
