Anyone know where I can pick one up for the note? I think it would be awesome.
exactly how does that work? special battery? cover?
Thats what my thread was asking. I'd assume something you put on your battery cover but I dont know. I think the palm pre style wireless charging would be sick.

Hi Guys,
The Verizon CDMA Touch Pro2 presumably requires an adjustment to the standard design for Desktop Cradle becaue of the USB port being offset from the middle to make way for the 3.5mm phono jack. has anyone found a desktop cradle that will fit yet? I assume that the Sprint version also has the same requirement.
I'm looking for the exact same thing for my Verizon TP 2, any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tatiania
I definitely would like to have one as well for my desk. Especially if it also has a battery charging slot or two.

Unhelpful...prolly the reason why the poster came here in the first place.
I just ordered one from the Boxwave website. It is for the Verizon CDMA version. It also has a slot to charge an extra battery at the same time which is what I really need so I don't tie my phone up for 6 hours to charge 2 batteries.

Good deal, let us know how well it fits. Interested in seeing if the offset USB will be a problem. What kind of secondary battery did you go with? Seido is or has released an extended battery that fits under the stock cover. An additional 250mh.
Mugen sell a 1800mah battery cheaper than Seidio 1750mah

I got the stock battery from verizon. Battery life is pretty good with the stock battery. I like to try and time my usage so when I charge it at night the battery is low. Some say that's better for the life of the battery.

Mike, I'm finding my battery hangs in there pretty well also. Only 1/3 use over a nine hour day where my tytyn would be 2/3 as I end my work day!
Yes, but seem out of stock at the moment

Any word on the cradle from Boxwave for the Verizon TP2? I'm wondering about the fit with the offset usb connector.
What would be really cool is a cradle with the offset usb connector and a 3.5mm plug so the cradle would have an audio out. That way you can still use your headphones with the TP2 in the cradle.

That used to be true until Lithium ion came out. Shallow discharges are actually preferable now. This site explains it well: http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone.htm
Having said that, battery life is exceptional on mine. Don't see any good reason to bulk it up more with a larger one either.

Got mine today. They must have sent the wrong one because it doesnt fit. My order does say that I ordered the Verizon version. The connecter is not offset as it should be. I emailed Boxwave today asking them to send a new one along with a paid shipping label to send back the wrong one. Hopefully they will do that so I can at least use the spare battery charger portion. Also I don't want to have to pay shipping fees to send back the one that is wrong.
Mike
I was afraid it wouldn't fit.. the pics on boxwave didn't show an offset connector and reading the details.. just said for the Verizon TP2 with no mention of an offset connector.
I've been looking everywhere and when I see one labled "for the Verizon TP2" the pics never show an offset connector. I think a cradle for the VZW TP2 is gonna be hard to find for awhile yet.
Tatiania
WTF?!? Did this post die a premature death or what? Nobody's had any luck finding a cradle for the CDMA version?
Tati
I don't get it. Who needs a cradle when the device has a built in tilt screen and sits up quite well on it's own with the screen showing off it's landscape mode while being plugged in from the side. I'm all for cradles as I owned one for my Touch Pro, but this device really doesn't need one....
Anybody see any wireless charging receivers yet? like the patch one? I am not sure I feel like adding the bulk of the full back plate to the phone. I have never tried these and wonder if the work as well.

Samsung is rolling out a wireless charger for the note 3, you would only have to change the back cover of the phone with one that supports wireless charging.

I know mobilesolarchargers.co.uk are getting them in I use there s4 patch and its spot on there wireless charging pad is also a power bank

I have purchased from TigerDirect - many years ago - and they were reliable then. I presume the same is true now... They are I the US and have been in business a long time... I just ordered two charging docks from them.
Note: I have already ordered the wireless charging back cover from Verizon because I actually prefer OEM products and wanted to make sure it was from Verizon as I have the Verizon phone so I know it will be true OEM and work flawlessly...
There are already two other threads discussing wireless charging that could answer you questions:

Hi all,
I'm posting this in case anyone else purchases this gear and thinks they can use it like the original battery that comes with the Note 3.
There is another post in this forum that talked about a 50% off code until June, so I bought this:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB-K800BUWESTA
Even with shipping/tax, it only came out to ~$31. I thought great deal.
It arrived and I noticed that you can't use it like you would the original Note 3 battery where I stuck a Qi-enabled sticker on it and could use it to wirelessly charge my spare battery when the main one runs down, figured I'd just buy another Qi-enabling sticker.
Thing showed up and it's NOT Qi-compatible. Meaning, it has no contacts on it that let me attach a Qi sticker. Not sure if it's by design that way but just thought I'd provide a heads up in case anyone else is looking to buy this.

There is two ways to do this,
1 modify the unit to support qi by adding a receiver inside.
2 use a USB receiver or a USB dongle.

1. Are you planning on opening up the battery to do this? Sounds like a lot of work and possibly ruining the battery if you screw it up
2. If you use a USB receiver, aren't you then completely ignoring the point of having wireless charging? I don't think I understand #2 completely.

1 you can open the battery charger that come with the battery and put a qi receiver inside, the battery charger then can be placed on a home transmitter.
2 connect a USB qi receiver through the USB port on the battery charger.
If you actuall want just the battery with qi built in, it's only available for the S3, S4 and note 2, if it's not qi, but supports wireless charging, other batteries are available for older phones models.
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.
Anybody seen this? Not out yet but I'm going to pick it up when it is.

So why is this 3-5x more expensive than other wireless chargers on Amazon?
Newer tech?
Because it charges your phone quicker than older technology used in wireless charging plus it is new, give it awhile it will come down in price.
