Summary: All great, but unfortunately unreliable. Details below for unreliability right here:
1) It happens to me from time to time that the phone is not being charged. I put it in the evening to the charging station, the message that would now loaded, comes, I turn around and fall asleep. The next morning the battery is low and the display of the remaining time (battery) indicates since they have not been charged over a day. That came at me about every 1-2 weeks. The two are of course so that I do not accidentally separate from each other at night; In addition, this is already happening in the office.
For this unreliability 2 points deduction because it is the use of the phone on diue Folgettag severely limits and in my opinion a blatant error.
Although 2) The mobile phone charges, but it may be that after a few hours / overnight only 90% or even 80% charge level display. So as the charger when it reaches the 100% should be switched off and therefore would later give
3) It sometimes takes "forever" to start charging. So, by forking up message. Eternal is here about half a minute. Since you can not rely on the fact that the shop then already even starts, which is quite annoying when it occurs.
4) It is sometimes not loaded (it is correctly and no message); I have to first pull out the charger from the power cord and plug it in again. Trat approximately every 10 days at times.
Point 1) is of course the worst. I need my phone during the day professionally, because it is not advisable to start the day with a low battery. Even for people who sit in the morning half an hour on the bus or train, it is determined goofy, do not listen to their podcast, a watch movies or to daddeln something.
Schön:
+ The store is very simple and convenient: drauflegen and leave.
+ The charger is small and light.
+ The charging station is rubberized bottom, thus pleasantly non-slip.
+ The cover feels like the original, maybe even a bit softer.
+ The cover snaps on well; without gap and without creaking (was with my original but even so).
- A power cord is not included in this article, only a micro USB cable
(With the individually purchased charging stations is not even the cable there.)
o an almost empty battery is fully charged at me in 3-4 hours.
o Weil was addressed in another review: The heart rate monitor can still be used without any problems. One should finger because only there readily stick to it, do not press on it. I have large hands and strong fingers, the heart rate monitor also copes well with the induction Cover.
o The LED is me actually too light for the bedroom, but for daylight conditions they must of course be so. Where I can not see during the day anyway, as the phone is indeed much larger and survives.
o In other reviews or comments for that I sometimes read indications that the cover is thicker and therefore not fit cases. But points will be deducted. Other then write that the thicker cover would fit into its case yet. Well I find the post where someone has his bumper, one can probably pfriemeln still around, equipped with the same ASIN! The other observations I find a bit strange, because CLEAR is the cover of thick (about 2 mm) and fits naturally a shell even if it was previously too large or is stretchable.
Who knows appropriate cases: a thread "These cases fit around the SGS5 with Qi-Cover" would certainly be a hit! :-)
Especially if you have to write how a shell influenced the induction charging time (is a greater distance).
In addition to the cover / charger combo still bought two more charging stations, so possess a total of 3. None of these charging stations whimpers (both tested with healthy hearing and with audio hardware and software), as describing another reviewer. So this buzzing seems at least not to be the norm.
During charging, the charger makes rhythmic sounds - in comments to a review someone asked. These sounds are indeed to hear with the naked ear; but only if you then embarks on a quest. Pressing the loading device at the ear, you can hear it very simple; in my very quiet bedroom I do not hear that at about one meter half.
Those who are interested: It is a rhythmic signal appearing at the overlap 2, 6 and 10 kHz. On 25ms signal followed by a long signal not always break. In simplified terms, the breaks are 6 x long, 3 x short; A complete cycle takes 1.75 seconds. Hear it to you at times, is actually a very cool rhythm. :-)
