Pls let us know how fast this charger charges the 950 XL :) This charger indeed is interesting as it has a build in air fan (due to the high charging power / heat).

Well done and measured! Thanks for that - covers my measurements a 100%! Same for placement - "with the top edge of the phone flush to the top of the plate" - thats how I do it with the DT-903 / 950 XL as well. Yes the 950 XL still isnt capable of charging steadily with proper ampere. Thats...

I am using Anker 20W (4 ampere max) wall chargers for driving my many QI charging plates and QI stands. Now the thing is that none of my QI chargers ever draws more than 9 watts. Because they can't: QI slow charging standard... It makes sense to use a wall charger with at least 1.5 ampere but...

I am quite sure that this isn't the normal tickle charging keeping the charge around 100%. Especially as your phone is super hot. When I am in tickle charge (with any QI charger) the phone never gets hot. Simply because it's just about 5% max to charge which doesn't really heat up the phone...

To add my experience: When doing my QI charging tests I always had airplane mode on, wifi off, GPS off, backup off. The setup draws 8.5 watts out of the socket but the phone charges with 5 watts (slow QI charging standard). The rest ends up as heat. Thats my theory.

Yes good example. It simply is a totally different experience when a company strongly believes in it's product and growth potential. The most obvious hint is that (I feel) there is no marketing for W10M and mobile devices. I personally would move to my Android phone as a primary device if W10M...

Based on my recent purchases of Microsoft products (950 XL, Surface Pro 4 i7, accessories) I am quite sure that quality assurance is close to non existent. Or alternatively it exists but no one takes care of the reported issues. The end results is a ton of pain for the customers which might be...

After having done very intensive QI charging tests with the Lumia 950 XL and various QI chargers I am pretty confident that this phone is only supporting the 1.0 standard which equals 5 watt charging power. This video made me curious as well but now that I also own the DT-904 charger I cannot...

I think Audio is messed up on this OS / firmware in general. There were similar massive audio problems on desktop Windows 10 too. This included click / popping noise on start / stop of audio playback. We as the users can only guess and hope that MS cares.

Yes true - I read about it and they (iOS, Android, WP, etc.) had to deliver until a certain deadline. There's no such law in Europe but indeed it would be great if this feature would be enabled in EU too.

Thanks for starting this thread. I dont understand why MS is making this US exclusive. This feature makes a ton of sense but cannot be activated on my German 950 XL as well. At the same time the MS account website shows this feature when logged in. I guess we have to wait and hope.

Tnx for your post. Yes pls try a USB fan as well. I've seen that it can impact the charging performance a lot but it's not the ultimate solution unfortunately. I believe that there must be another problem which either sits within the battery or the phone / firmware. Otherwise I couldn't...

Thanks a lot for taking the measurement! Another good proof that this combination can work as intended.

Thanks so much! So it can work flawlessly as it does for you. That's good news :) Now the affected users just have to find out why it doesn't work for them. If I can reproduce the same problems with the MS DT-904 I will start annoying Microsoft support with solid examples of overheating...

That's exactly it! Of course QI needs some positioning to charge or not charge. But the 950 XL heats up so much when not perfectly aligned. I've never had this with my previous QI chargeable Lumia's. I really hope it's not a hardware problem like we've seen on some Android devices with certain...
