The sad thing is it is really hard to get because Ram makes so that you have to go way up the trim line to get it.
Or you have it added after. Dealerships will do that.
Strange. Mine held tight for over a year on my '20 and then I peeled it off and stuck it in the same place on my '22. Just plain old clear double-side tape from the hardware store.
I run my wireless Android Auto while the phone sits in the Ram wireless charger and it keeps it at 100% no issues. Phone is a Galaxy S21 if that makes any difference.
I have a S22 and it was the same with my S20. Yes, if it is near a 100%, maybe it will. But if let's say it is at 50%, it'd take hours to get there.
Plus, it over heats way before that and starts flashing red.
Good idea. I'll give it a go and see.
My S22 Ultra is capable of 45w. So, she can take all the Ramcharger can give and then some. Most likely my phone is just too much for it.
The S22 Ultra has 15w wireless and 45w wired charging capacity.
Lol, you are right. Anyway, the fact still remains the Ramcharger is horrible and can barely charge a phone. Now, let me put it this way, take a long road trip, many hours, using your phone for wireless Android Auto, playing music and using Waze and see how it works. I guarantee it won't and your phone will lose charge and overheat several times. Basically, I wasted 250 dollars and an hour of time installing a POS that clearly wasn't designed well. And I'm not alone. It seems there are more people who have issues with it than people who don't. If I plug the phone in to the media hub, it charges just fine. And those are slow chargers. I've even removed my case just to see if it made a difference and it doesn't. I'm glad it works for you, but it doesn't for most people and that's why I would never recommend it.
I realize wireless charging has limitations, so I don't try to make it do something it can't.
My phone doesn't over heat. The charger does. You are right though, I shouldn't expect a $250 charger to do what it is supposed to do. I've had cheaper wireless chargers that worked no problem while my phone did the exact same stuff. They kept the phone charged and never overheated. Guess we will have to agree to disagree on this.
Well I take it all back. Went on a trip and left my Pixel 7 in the wireless charger. It would be blue for about 30 mins then go red and won't charge anymore. Quite hot. Only streaming Spotify with the screen off. Wasn't an issue on shorter trips or with my old Pixel 3 on long trips that charges slower at 5W instead of 10W. I suspect it's the higher charge rate on the newer phones. I wonder if you can reduce the charge rate on your phone?
Not all dealers will put it in, mine won't. Had to go to another dealer.
