impeham, my phone charges almost exactly the same including speed as when plugged in by the Nokia 1.2A 110-220V charger. I supply the Qi pad from a 2A per port x4 USB charging converter. I have a 300mA/h double-scud battery under a Mugen cover and have the data pin shorted Qi receiver attached to the outside of the cover, I also have Pali's upgraded BME but do not use the special forced charge mode.
