    I have a Galaxy S6 with a case, laying it on the pad the is a Crap Shut, some times it charges, sometimes it dose not. I cannot rely on it, so I carry a USB connector. ( no worries)

    Samsung Galaxy S5 with $2.75 QI strip from ebay glued to the battery. Charges fine out of the case, very slowly in a thin one. Works flawlessly with bluetooth functions.

    I have a Note8 and frequently get the insufficient connectivity error when using Pandora. It reconnects after turning the Bluetooth off then on again. Reboot has not been necessary.

    I also have to occasionally reboot my IPhone 8 due to the “Insufficient connectivity” issue with Pandora. Not always, but too often. Very inconvenient.

    Mine works fine with iphone 8 but the charging sucks. if the phone moves, it stops charging. Also, the charging is very slow and the phone gets hot. I went back to just using my cable.

    My S8 charges flawlessly.

    No overheating, no disconnects, no quirks.

    It just charges.

    not overheating, just too warm for my liking. If it charged faster then maybe, but it doesnt charge my iphone very quick.

    I did figure out today that if I open the app on my phone and click "Disconnect" prior to shutting off the truck then it will launch & reconnect fine. That's based on a sample of 2 times, compared to a 100% fail rate previously.
