Who uses the wireless charger in a gen 4?

When running Waze on my longer road trips, I find that I must keep my 6plus plugged in.

That also means, at the end of the day, I don't need to worry about charging it in the hotel home that night, since I've become a day charger.

 

No, I mean ordinary apps used when not driving, like Tapatalk and Facebook and Messenger and some browsing. Recharging while driving is a necessity, since the battery simply won't last the whole day if you are using your phone for a lot of other things.

 

Would be nice if Siri Eyes Free worked with Android devices.

 

I don't have to take my iphone out of my pocket unless I want to charge it. The Bluetooth connects automatically. But if I'm on an extended drive and I want to charge up the phone, the wireless solution works and is a little cleaner than hooking up the lightning connector.

 

If I buy a G4, the best thing I can say about the wireless charging spot is that I'll probably modify it so I have a place to put my badge, parking pass, Kleenex, sunglasses and all the other little things for which Toyota removed my storage spots. Since my phone doesn't have wireless charging and my chosen case would prevent adding it on, I may just epoxy my modification on top of it.

99% of the time I'm in the car, I leave the phone in my pocket. The other 1% are longer trips and plugging it in to a charger is not a big deal at all (5 seconds). Besides, I often have my wife with me and she needs to charge as well. My wired charger will charge two phones, the Qi will not, plus she can actually use her phone while it's on the wired charging system whereas putting it on the floor where the Qi is would make that impossible.

 

Is that real faux leather ?

 

I want it!

 

That seems like a no-brainer for the people who don't need or want the qi charger.

 

That isn't what I want, at all. I want something more along the conceptual lines of this, designed to fit that space:

 

This was produced for the under-bridge area on the G3, for example:

 

patience grasshopper.

 

I want one too!

 

The wonders of 3D printing will solve many of these above concerns. It might even produce faux leather or that desk divider thingy. The possibilities are endless. And could certainly cover the white porcelain completely.

 

We are about to buy Gen 4 Prius Four or Four Touring. The Qi charging pad is right by the cup holders. It seems inevitable that coffee or soda will sometimes spill onto the charging pad. There seem to be cracks were spillage can drain through and get under that part of the console,. Has anyone experienced this yet? Is there a way to pop it open and clean under it? (I can pop my Tacoma console out and clean under it.) Is there a risk of an electrical short or damage if this happens?

 

What kind of phone do you have? I've had iPhone 6, 6+, Note4,5, and I can drain any of those batteries in 6 hours. I bought a 10k mAh extended battery for my Note 4 and that only lasted me 12 hours. I was expecting 3x the 6 hours, but alas, it wasn't happening.

FYI, I run GPS 3-4 hours a day minimum, and I bleed a GB of data a day, easy. I am a power user to the max with my apps, and I can't find a phone that lasts me all day, since I'm on it 18+ hours.

I will buy any phone if you can guarantee a 12 hour usage at my rate. Thing is, you can't.

Wireless charger... What's that? I use that little space to set my 2nd egg McMuffin while I'm eating the first one.
