I attached the metal disc to my Nexus 5 case. When I charge the phone via wireless QI charger - the metal disc gets incredibly HOT. Anyone else?

That doesn't happen to me because I have the metal disk to a protection cover of the phone.

Metal shouldn't be put near a wireless charger. The induction passes through the disc causing it to heat just like a metal pan on an induction stovetop. You should remove the disc and look for an other mounting option. Or switch back to wired charging.

Never charged via wireless. Can't assist. ? Is wireless preferred due to ease or?

I had the same problem, so I removed the metal disc and replace it by a new one on the upper part of my phone case, so it doesn't touch my QI charger when i put my phone on it. (my charger is a compact round model, the phone is larger than the surface)

Nope, when you open the back casing you'll see 3 copper pieces sticking out a bit, that's where the wireless charging back plate will make its contact to charge.

Amazon sent me an email asking me to answer you. So wireless charging is just like an am radio transmition. Nothing should interupt it execpt metal, or distance. There is no reason why this wouldn't work.

The only time it got hot on me was when I was playing a game on my phone while it was charging (yeah I know - not the smartest thing to do!). The charger does not get hot during normal charging when the phone is not in use. However I would send a note to Anker and ask them about ventilation. Any battery or energy device generally needs some type of ventilation during use. Even Kindle says that if you have the reader in a protective cover, leave the cover open for ventilation during charging.

It could be a diffrance in volts/ampsI have no issues with this making my iphone hot, but it is also in a handlebar grip getting air when I ride.

Yes mine did as well. It made a buzzing noise and got hot as well. I just stopped using it. It is a very poor product and I will not be ordering anything from them again.

I think it depends on the charger that you use, but from time to time it will get hot, but not hot enough and often enough that I worry about it. Gets the same temperature when I charge my Nexus 4, Nexus 7, or Nokia Lumia 920 that have Qi built-in.

I have a nexus 5 and Nexus wireless charger. I am able to charge my phone wirelessly while phone is in the case.

Mine gets a little warm while charging or when I have GPS and Bluetooth enabled and am downloading something, or am on the phone at the same time. It doesn't get scortching hot, though.

No I don't have this problem. I bet the mini usb port on your nexus is damaged. This Pogo Cable will take care of your problem.

I have the same question though my concern is with Qi wireless charger. Anyone tried it out?

That would be a function of the phone not the charger itself. I would have to say on my phone (Galaxy S4 Active), while it may not be charging, it gets very hot if left on the Qi charging pad overnight. I have gotten in the habit of charging during the day and removing the phone when it gets to 100%

Nah, it is just drawing the amprage needed to charge. It shouldn't get much hotter than that... If it starts to Burn to the touch there may be a defect in the product. But hot to the touch just don't lay on it for long periods of time or anything.

hi Scott,im sorry but i was wondering same thing awhile back when i was in the market to buy wireless charger,lol.the case is pretty thick on the backside so...?

Mine does ( blinking light on the left side ) I have found on thick cases or multi layered cases that the QI charge can struggle or just won't connect at all.

Thank you for your message. We are not sure which Qi charger you are using but the beeping sound usually alerts that the Qi charging is not aligned with the "sweet spot" of the receiver or your protective case might be blocking the Qi signals. Please feel free to contact the EyeCandis customer service at support@eyecandis.com if you should have any other questions relating the product. The support contact can also be found on the official EyeCandis website.
