Now come on.... :wink: I plug in next to bed so I don't get awakened by the repeated sound of the charging beginning again. It does this on wireless but not on wired.
Never had that happen to me. strange

I've seen this happen a few times. I usually have to reseat it. Then no issues. Only when I use the Fatboy pillow though.
I never thought the wireless charging plate would really catch on, considering it needs to plug in.
Forgive me for being naive, but is the charging plate really worth the price tag? I can understand the cost if it was really useful, but do you guys see it as added value for reducing a couple seconds trying to get the cable plugged into the phone? Or is there something I'm missing? Hate to sound really stupid saying all that. I feel like I'm really missing the point, haha. Maybe someone can explain it to me?
I love the idea of wireless charging, I just always thought that plugging in the wireless charger to plug in the phone is still technically like plugging the phone, itself, in. But maybe I'm looking at it all wrong.

Charging ports are the #2 thing to break on a phone, #1 being the screen. Spend the couple bucks and never worry about it.

It really is nice being able to pick up my phone at night to check a text and put it back down without fumbling without a cable. You can find deals for them online for pretty cheap, or free like purchasing with an icon from MS store.
Interesting! How do charging ports break phones? Is it a common occurrence?
As others have said, the charging port is one of the more common points of failure. I've never had it happen to me, but my step-daughter is sporting a Lumia 822 with a charging port that only charges if she puts pressure on the cord in a certain direction.I never thought the wireless charging plate would really catch on, considering it needs to plug in.

They break from corrosion, kids running around and tripping over the cord. Basically any stress at all starts to loosen the port and damage the pins

As for convenience, here is the wooden shelf that I built for my monitors at work. It raises them up to a level that makes my chiropractor happy, and I routed out the bottom with a keyhole bit, allowing me to stick a DT-900 in the bottom of the shelf. I just throw my phone on the shelf, and it charges.

In the car, it's great, too. I have BT to connect the phone to the stereo, and a Frankensteined DT-900, so my car-charging needs are wireless, too. My setup is very handy for both podcast listening (which I do every day during my commute) and for navigation (which I do on occasion).

I have the wireless charger at my desk at work, on my desk at home, in my car, and my wife has one next to her chair in the living room, and next to my chair in the living room is the JBL Power-up speaker with wireless charging. The only time I plug in is at night.
Oh another question I had. Do the charging plates only plug into walls, or can they plug in via USB as well? Most of my outlets are already filled with wall connections. I charge my phone mostly from plugging into my computer, Surface, etc. via USB. Do any charging plates come with a USB connecting option (like how Nokia phones have a wall/USB charging adapter that comes with their phones? Or is it wall-only?
