SOLVED Wireless charging Nexus 5
-
I was concerned that the tiny Nexus 5 micro USB port would be damaged when attached to a stiff cable. Then I discovered that Nexus 5 has wireless charging capability as an Android device. Is that feature still enabled as a UT device? I am considering this charger

It's a feature of the hardware. UT doesn't change anything that would disable it.

@cliffcoggin I would just double check that one works with your device. If not there should be some available on e**y or such.

Thank you both. Time to go shopping.

Wireless charging works for me.
The coil is in the back cover so if you've changed it or have an alternate one maybe the feature is gone with it.Then I guess any wireless charger should work.

I also was worried about wearing my micro usb port out, I tried the wireless charging too, it worked ok but was slower and the back case got quite hot, I was concerned about the heat and looked for alternatives.
I found a better solution was to use a magnetic usb cable, they are available all over the place and you get the bonus of being able to do data transfers as well, so I have ordered extra for all my phones.
I get questions about it like "what sort of phone have you got there?" Oh I say it's not apple or android , its an Ubuntu Touch phone!

The wireless charger arrived and it seems to be ideal. I don't care if it is slow (25% gained in three hours,) as I can leave it on charge overnight. It was remarkably cheap at only £3 including postage.

I use qilive wireless charging and the nexus 5 charges fast enough

@cela Hi, do you have a link to for purchasing such devices? thanks a lot!

In the image, the charger that I use (the power supply needs at least 1.5 amperes) can be found on eBay on Aliexpress and on Ozon. I don’t sell them, I just bought it at the Auchan supermarket [0_1592905087768_charger.png](Загрузка 100%) -
@MrSureNot
You choose it for its color paired to uTouch?
-
@Keneda No, I chose at a price of 189 rubles, this is somewhere $ 2.75 and for suitable characteristics (5 watts)

The tiny cheap charger I initially bought was awkward to get centred on the phone for reliable power induction, but it proved the concept of wireless charging, so I changed for something more reliable set in a stand which ensured correct alignment every time.
