I know (at least I'm pretty sure) the pins used for inductive charging are the 5 pogo pins located by the SD card. Does anyone know specifically what each of the 5 pins are for? Pretty sure there is enough room in the stock cover for the Palm inductive coil and I've got a spare kit.
Come on, nobody knows??
Or do they get held in contact with the +5 and gnd connectors by the back plate?
The latter.
Ok I figured that out just the back just presses the contacts which is cool. But it doesn't charge on my inductive charger. I've verified voltage going to the inductive charger. But I set my phone on there any which way and nothing happens. This charger was a christmas present the internal qi I bought myself. It is of quality brand here is a pic of both.
Actually I will skip that. If i throw the qi pad on the charger by itself it measures 4.98v. So can whatever rom I'm using keep it from working properly or is my phone messed up
So, part of the reason i bought this phone was the built in wireless charging. Well it was a big surprise to me [emoji30]when i got my new Qi charger today, and it wouldn't work. I never thought that it wouldn't be built into the battery cover.
So has anyone found a inexpensive, not the ebay 120.00 battery cover, way to add the charging into backs that came with our phones?
You can get the Verizon Wireless Charging Circle case for 59.99
Well, looking for a replacement back or just the qi receiver sticker, I'm not a fan of the flip cases.

I feel the same way. I don't want the circle case, but i really want Qi charging. I guess we will have to wait for them to release a Qi charging backplate only.
Guess this is what i get for getting a phone on day 1 that it's available. I just wish that they would have come out of the box ready to go. Wondering if we can modify one of the adapters from another model phone to work temporarily?

I'm thinking with minimal tweaking this could be made to work.

How does it interface with the phone (both this pad and the G3)? Does it have pins on the case and battery cover?
Yes there are 4 pins on the phone case that should connect to the battery door, but only the two for nfc are being used. My thought, i could easily make an adapter to connect if needed. Minimal soldering to the temp receiver coil.
Has anybody found a good Qi wireless charging receiver for the Tab S3?
The S3 is a fairly large tablet with a USB-C connector which is (unfortunately) located slightly off center toward the right (top) edge where the power/volume buttons are placed. In order to use a Qi charging stand, it would be best if a Qi receiver pad could be placed on the back, slightly toward the left edge (near the pogo pin connector), so that the tablet could sit sideways on the charging stand with the power/volume buttons facing up.
This means we need a Qi receiver with a long USB-C connector. A typical Qi pad is about 8 cm long so we'd need one with about 7 cm of cable just to get the coil in the center of the Tab S3 and even then it might be too close to the top edge to align with a charging stand while the tablet is sideways. Most of the Qi receivers I've found only have about 2 cm of cable at most.
My Tab will sit vertically on my charging stands but it's not very stable and again, with the USB-C port off center, the coils might not align.
Alternatively, it might be possible to hack a standard Qi receiver to connect to the pogo pin connector on the side of the Tab S3.
[I've tried all sorts of tricks to resize this image down to something reasonable. None of them worked. Sorry.]
I have the same interest to setup QI wireless charging on my Galaxy Tab S4 tablet.
Have you made progress since that initial post ?
I have not found any useful relevant information to resolve this challenge!
Thanks.
Go get one of these:
Qi Adapter
Plug it into your charge port, and just use a sticker or electrical tape to stick it to the back of the device, then slap that bad boy back in its case.
Your Nord will now charge on any wireless charging mat.
I suggest Spigen cases, but that's just me.
whats the charge speed since it takes your usbc port
