Hi everyone. I am going to be getting a Lumia 928 and wanted to get a wireless charger. My only problem is that I don't really like the Nokia wireless chargers...

I much prefer the style that held the phone up like the old Palm chargers...

So, I was wondering if 1, I could use any other wireless charger, and 2, which one everyone would recommend for the Lumia 928... Also, is there anything I should keep in mind or know about getting a different wireless charger?

Thanks for the help. :)

Any wireless charger that uses the Qi standard for wireless charging will work. A lot of the current wireless chargers are Qi compatible.

there are plenty of problems with using different wireless chargers with different phones. it doesn't matter if they are all Qi compatible or not. some phones will simply keep switching from charging to not quickly, which ends up charging the phone really really slowly. some phones will stop charging randomly, or not charge at all even though they show they are charging.

Are they not following the Qi standard or is the Qi standard not that thoroughly laid out..? I'd think being a standard this should not happen but you know xD

don't know. check out this test for example using a nokia charger on an android phone

There has been much talk on the Web about using the DT-910 with Qi-enabled Android phones. In principle, it should work with all devices that comply with the Qi standard. I put it to the test with my new Nexus 4. While the DT-910 charged the Nexus 4, it did so very slowly because, as many others have noted, the two devices continuously disconnect and reconnect.

ive also seen around the web some problems with different chargers and phones. maybe its an alignment issue with the inductors.

I wonder if the stand is harder to get working due to the way it has to sit on the stand, and then the coils not lining up. The plates and fatboy seem a little better for non-Nokia phones I would imagine. I ended up ordering a fatboy pillow, I like the look of it better than plate. :)

whats wrong with this type? works with the 928. btw the palm chargers wont charge the phones. the phone might give you the charging symbol,but apparently they run at different frequencies so theyre incompatible.

Can you please tell me which charger/stand that you pictured? Thanks.

Sound gimmicky, the only convenience is not needing to pull a cable out of the phone which isn't even an inconvenience, i would imagine wireless charging to be like a wireless signal, a small hub that transmits signal that charges a phone if it's in range of X amount of metres or whatever (not sure if that's at all possible it's just how i imagined it would be) so that the phone could be like in my pocket or in a random place and still charge.

 

That being said, that is a nice stand and a nice alternative i suppose.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes

      Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.

      Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
