Does anybody face the heating issue with this charger? I am using Tudia Wav hybrid case for my Nexus 5 and could see the mobile heating a lot in the back.

I have a Lumia 920 with a Otterbox Defender case, and the phone and charger does get very warm but not uncomfortably hot.

I didn't notice this issue yet so far. My iPhone 5s heats up a little bit sometimes even when I use the original charger wire which comes with the iPhone purchase. You may want to test with the original wire as well to see it that happens again.

I have used the tylt with an LG G2 and G3 and haven't experienced overheating. I am not positive but I believe that it has the same protection against overcharging (source of overheating) as normal chargers.

I have used my android phone charger with no problems. I also charge it on my computer.

I know it is not normal on a Nexus 5. The Galaxy S6 might not line up properly with the charge pads inside the charger. If that is the case, then you found the only solution.

I have four different wireless chargers, including this one. The phone/tablet gets slightly (and equally) warm on all of them. However, if you allow the phone/tablet to "daydream" (display clock or other graphic of choice) while wireless charging the phone/tablet gets very warm, even hot. I find this to be equal on all chargers as well. I always push the power button after the phone/tablet starts charging. This stops the dream mode. Also you can disable dream mode in the display settings. I like this particular charger because it's easy to line up the coils and the green/red/blue light is visible from top, end and sides. Bottom line is if your phone/tablet is active while charging, it will get hot. The charger itself doesn't cause the heat.

I have honestly had nothing but problems with mine. I live in Key West, so the temp is always fairly hot. Not sure if that is a factor. The volume is very spotty and the vibrations with the protective grate on top have been a problem, and it typically only works within about 5 feet of my phone. At any rate, I am not terrible happy with the performance at all.

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.

Yes, that´s a bug, I noticed it while charging my S5. After fiddling a bit with it I managed to position it right on the sweet-spot. Other than that, if you use a case, maybe the distance among the charger and the sensor on the phone may be the cause.

Yes there is a problem with yours. I've had mine since its issue and it never gets hot -warm at most when playing extended games or videos. I have a Surface Pro 2 now, but I keep the Portege as a very reliable backup and for occasional ripping or burning (no pun intended) of CDs.

Yes, I use my Android wall charger with no problems, it charges faster than with the computer.

No - I have not see any issues plugging in 0.5A devices (BT headsets) in a 2A port on this charger on both the device and charger. I have noticed the charger gets hot when I plug 3+ devices onto the charger but not unusual compared to other charging bricks.

Wireless charging does NOT work for me with the official Google nexus charger and this case. I bought it because ballistixs said it did, but alas I think the back is to thick for the charger to get through and work.

I just bought an open box Asus 1005HA PU1X BLK with a faulty power supply. The problem with mine is that the thermal fuse shuts down the charging function by opening the circuit presumably due to overcurrent or heat. The supply cools down and after removing the plug and then plugging it back in resumes charging. The computer itself works very nicely. So charging its doable but slow. I will hold on to the purchase and wait for an opportunity to swap the power supply for one that works somewhere down the line.

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

I just recently bought my charger and used it for 12 hours at a time and my charger did not get hot. I was charging two devices. I would send it back and get a different one.

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.
