So i want to hack the crap out of my phone.... guys think the wireless charging mod for the s3 will work on the s4?
What other things can you think of?
im working on one that will boost my cell signal now.
There's already a wireless charging back replacement made by samsung.

Ok so I know many people are waiting on wireless charging. My question is, is wireless charging already here just sitting under our nose?
I haven't found any threads talking about this, so I apologize if I am wrong, but the NFC antennae is built into the battery. Could this also be the wireless charging ability unleashed by a powermat?
From: http://www.itproportal.com/2012/03/23/update-duracell-powermats-wicc-power-matters-alliance/
"Duracell Powermat's key message is that adding wireless charging is now easier than ever before. The wireless charging functionality could be built directly in the battery, as a WiCC card inserted by the manufacturer in the phone or available as an off the shelf after market accessory."
They have also shown their WICC card in the S2, so we know they are pals with Samsung. Also, Powermat has kept saying "coming this summer" for their new line of products. Perhaps the "delay" with the wireless charge kit for the S3 is actually a delay on the part of Powermat getting their new product line.
So I ask, once again...If you set the device on a powermat as is...does it charge?
No comments to this? I thought someone would at least have a powermat to squelch any thought of this I had.

That's a fantastic question and would love to know myself.
I suspect the two pins to the left of the battery are for the wireless expansion. You could be right through.
Any update on this?
These are going really CHEAP http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360471423929&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123
ADC
it could be on the optional back cover , the two pins are for the connections , also there are claims that it can charge further away then sticking it on the dock or charging mat , i find it quite pointless if charging has to stationary , i rather just plug it in into my charger
The two pins next to the battery seems a good shout. Means Samsung can sell compatibility battery doors.
Anyone got a schematic and know how to follow the PCB wiring to see if the pins feed the charging circuit?

No, NFC is not used for wireless battery charging.
It's already been discussed and modded using a Palm Touchstone here:

I saw the wireless charging mod and got me wondering if wireless charging is possible for verizon models as well.
Here is a thread about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945582
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 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:

Does it work properly?
Does it super charge?
Is there any problem of using an old wirless charger?
Should i buy a new one or something?
Sorry if this may look kinda stupid questions :\
Older wireless chargers work fine for the s9 and s9+
charge is slow, as quick charge is not supported by the s6 wireless chargers well a fast wireless charger will fast charge , but my s6 wireless charger is the regular non fast charge version and I know it works.
Phone does not get warmer then other charging options and my wireless charger is not getting hot.
I have purchased a rav power quick charger which I enjoy. It's fast.
Hope these responses help

I just received my Infinity S9 plus and I noticed there is no option in settings-device maintenance-battery-advanced settings for Fast wireless charging. Same with my wife's phone. My friend with Verizon version has it.
Any idea if they disabled this or what?
thanks
What are you talking about? Plug in the phone to a fast charger and it fast charges. If your charger doesn't support that then it doesn't fast charge. Same thing with my old LG V20.
Mine fast charges fine, but seems slower than my LG a little bit.
"I noticed there is no option in settings-device maintenance-battery-advanced settings for Fast wireless charging''
Mine doesn't show the setting either on international version.

I have a Verizon phone and I have no such option. I only have an option for battery saving apps and fast cabled charging.
It was the same for me. The option appears after you put it on a wireless charger or at least a fast charging compatible one.

Strange, my friend who has a verizon model has the setting for fast wireless charging.
wonder if they are removing it so the phones don;t over heat...maybe.

Odd, I tried that already and the settings still don't show. Now I'm not using a samsung fast wireless charger, but it's a fast wireless charger.
Not sure what is causing it not to show.
My Verizon S9+ has it (maybe cause I use a wireless Samsung stand up wireless charger daily).

Yeah, that makes sense if you are using a Samsung charger. I am using a standard samsung charge from the... I dont know what device days... BUt yeah, the message says something about fan noise. I do know that my charger has no fan.
Go to settings/advanced features/accessories. There you will find the option for fast wireless charging. For cable fast charging, the setting is in advanced under battery. Stupid that they put it in 2 different places
I just bought the samsung fast wireless charger 2018 model on sale at best buy for $50 few weeks ago, been working fine on my s9+ from Xfinity Mobile. As for the option your looking for never had to look for it or cared to as the wireless charging works out of the box. There's no "faster" than fast wireless charging option if that's what your looking for which I doubt lol. As seen in post #7 screenshot I have the same option listed.
Just a thought, but maybe it's the power adapter attached to it limiting it?
I have the Samsung stand-up one, but it might be on an old adapter, I'll check later and see if I can get mine to show the setting.
After connecting an adaptive fast charger wall adapter to the wireless charger, the option did indeed show up immediately.
