Have S8+ with a case did this quick and easy just flip the rubber part and you're good to go

Because the charger is positioned toward the back, and with the way the pad is, the bumper on the backside pushes the phone forward away from the charger. So reversing the mat allows the phone to be p

The 2018 works just fine with my iPhone X.  I just went to the dealership and tested it out.  I got the part number for the 2018 wireless charger module which is 13507652.  The parts guy said that it

Never had an android, let alone an S7, but they dont because they are too big? Is the S8 same size or bigger or smaller?

 

I have an iPhone 6 Plus with a wireless charging case and it doesnt charge properly because its too big. If I get a newer iPhone, I am probably going with a non Plus.

On my 17, the only way my s7 will reliably charge is no case, and all of the nubs shaved from the chraging mat. It's not really anything to look forward to because the charge rate is terribly slow, the phone gets really hot, and it ends up on the floor when you access the console.

My S7 will only charge out of the case or if I have the outer plastic ring off of my case not sure why.

 

The charger in the trucks are weak. My S7 charges on the Samsung charger pad no issues.

 

Even out of the case the phone has to be placed in the correct spot and if it slides it will stop.

 

I wanted to tear the charge pad apart and see if I could make it work better but it is to big a pain in the butt to take it apart.

I've noticed this on my '17 and my S7 Edge. I don't know why GM didn't make the charger another half inch wider. (Or more)

 

Seems like no phone that I'll buy after this truck will really fit, since phones tend to grow each year :dunno:

Because they went with a cheap single coil charger, which dictates pad size.

 

My 3-coil retrofit charger charges my S7 in its silicone case without issue.

Just seems like it doesn't work for all that many phones now and I'd guess not for any phones made in 2017 or on. But you're probably right on the cost thing. Seems like a $50k plus truck it oughta work.

Even if it worked is it really a great benefit? I use Apple CarPlay which requires the USB which charges the phone too. Even with out Carplay it seems easier to set the phone in the front tray and use a small 3"USB and just plug it in. Doesn't fly around the truck that way when you take off too quick or need to hit the brakes hard. Not to mention having to use a clunky charger case.

Not sure how "grab end of cable, plug into phone, set phone in front tray" is easier than "drop phone flat on tray right next to arm". :)

 

I've never had my S6 or S7 fly around in or out of the tray regardless of acceleration or deceleration.

Well most Android phones have it built in. And you've got a good point on the Android Auto or Carplay thing.

 

I guess it just struck me as odd when I started looking into this issue that the answer 'round the web is either "No" or "who cares."

 

If this is my biggest issue with my truck I'll consider myself quite happy. :freak:

Good to know regarding the whole charging system. When I first saw it, I thought it was a must have gem..not so much anymore

My S7 charges fine on the pad

 

BUT

 

- I don`t have an external case

- the phone must be screen up, and pushed to the back of the charge tray

- so when I use it I set the bottom of the phone against the back of the tray area and then lay the phone down -- works every time

- if not properly placed or if it gets moved and the connection is broken then it must be removed completely from the pad before it will reestablish a connection

- tray charging is MUCH MUCH slower than using the cable, so if I`m concerned about getting it charged it gets connected to the USB

- the main reason it gets hooked up is if I want to use `live traffic`on google maps;

- if not needing charge and I don`t want live traffic, it probably stays in my pocket

- I leave the end of a usb cable sticking out thru the notch at the front of the storage bin so iféwhen it is needed it can be located without opening the bin lid

Maybe "easier" was the wrong term. As an iPhone user the pad is useless in my opinion. My iPhone has maybe not "flown" around but has come off and fallen in between the seat and console.

I have to turn my S7 so the front of the phone is facing the rear of truck. Doing this.. it works most the time. I also have a very thin, light case on the phone.

I just picked up the new S8+ today and it charges fine in my truck...I just have to put it on top of the rear lip of the charging pad for it to work. It fit fine in the cutout but wouldn't charge until I moved it up on the lip, Strange!!

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      By davester · Posted

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf
