Unless they changed something last minute, this was posted in response to a question on the GN3 Q&A page on Verizon's website:
Hello sbduce;
There will be a wireless charging door (Qi standard) for the Samsung Note 3 soon after it launches. The door will available for online ordering at www.verizonwireless.com.
Thank you for posting your question!

It could just be because they don't actually have it listed as a feature. Either way, we'll find out in a week!
I talked to a csr and they have the wireless back plate in the system. So I think that pretty much covers it

If you're concerned about overnight charging, don't be. Wireless charging your phone overnight is basically the best use for wireless charging. If you're looking for a quick boost in power, you might be better off going with a good ol' USB cable. Each has their own pros/cons.
If you use your phone often, usb may be better, if you like to put your phone down, wireless charging may be better.

My main concern is only that in 6-8 hours of being on the wireless charger, will i have a full charge in the morning if i most likely am close to a dead battery by the end of the night? i can always plug it back in for 2 hours at my office on the usb3 into a wall and make extra sure i have a full charge before heading to the field at 1, which i wont have access to a charger until 9 or 10 pm. also curious if the wireless charging plate will work through the otterbox defender?

I loved wireless charging on my S3. I sit at a desk most of the day and run out into the shop every 20-30 minutes for something. I loved being able to set my phone on the desk and keep the battery topped off without added stress to the charging port by plugging it in and unplugging it all the time. I'm not sure if I'll go to wireless charging on the Note 3 since it add's a little thickness to the phone and makes it harder to find a case that fits. I'll make that decision later.

No wireless charging. You need the a backplate allowing you to enable it. Sucks but thats marketing for ya

I bought the wireless charging strip for my s4 9$ on amazon worked with the stock battery and back. But its too slow and requires I put the phone down for long periods of time so I just got extended batteries and swap them out every couple days. I imagine the note 3 will be the same deal

Where I use it
After trying various uses for the charging pad, I ultimately went with using it at work near my desk. It really doesn't add much more convenience in situation where you are going to be setting the phone down once and charging it for a while, like overnight on your nightstand. The real benefit is in a place where you would be picking the phone up and down a lot. I had the usb cord at my desk but I used to often forget to plug it back in when I would get back to my desk, even though i would set it down right near the cord. Now I just set it down on the pad and I rarely leave work at the end of the day with less than a full charge.

Anyone find a charger that can actually charge the phone while using the GPS? I have a modified charger with the center pins tacked together and the Samsung genuine car charger, neither of which can keep up with the drain.
Anyone have positive evidence that their charging solution will at least maintain battery life while GPS + screen are running?
I'm at a loss and tired of spending money on chargers that aren't up to the task.
Thank you.
I have the Samsung car mount that comes with a Samsung car charger. Not sure if that's the same charger you have, but I've used it on a road trip so far and it definitely maintains and charges a little. 14 hours of driving btw.
I attempted to call Samsung Accessory support this morning to find out if that charger is different than the basic charger and they were giving me the run around. I didn't want to spend $XX on another charger unless I knew it had a higher output.
Can you give me the spec's on it?
I know the basic samsung charger only puts out 750mA.
I have used numerous chargers in the car while running GPS and none of them actually seem to charge the device; they just keep it "treading water".
Truth is, with the screen size being what it is, and likely both cores firing at full capacity, I don't think it's entirely realistic to expect the thing to charge while doing something so data intensive as GPS; especially, when you consider that your data signal can and will vary WILDLY while driving through different places, which absolutely and invariably will stress the battery even further, contributing to drain whether plugged in or not. That's a lot of work for a relatively small device to handle.
Just my $.02 coming from a mix of experience and common sense.
-Ryan
Guy above you says that his does.
Hell, I'd be happy with treading water, way better than the steep downhill fall I've got going on.
Can limit processor speed by throttling it manually with my OC kernel or by enabling the saving mode the phone has innately. Can reduce data by switching off 4G.
It doesn't need those things to run as a GPS. The GPS itself doesn't seem to eat much battery at all but I realize the screen is huge. However, how can this be a viable device if we can't figure out a way to make it WORK?
I hope that camaroz28 can get back to me on this.

There is no writing on it at all so I have no idea what it's output current is.
As an aside, I've heard of a lot of people just getting a small DC->AC converter and then using the original wall charge adapter to charge in the car.

You can confirm that your phone will charge, albeit slowly, with the provided adapter that comes with the Nav mount?

Yes, after driving for 7 hours, my batter went from something like 52% to 60%. Don't remember the exact numbers, but it went up. This was while switching between google navigation and an app called "GPS HUD" with Pandora running in the background. Data was mostly HSPA/HSPA+ except for the beginning and end of the trip where I was in LTE cities.

Maintain a fully charged spare battery in auto
Tried about every auto charging fix I could find on this forum. Still get about 2% per hour discharge. I'm routinely in and out of my car 8-10 hours a day so end up with a dead battery. My fix (not elegant but works) is to maintain a fully charged spare battery in my van using a charger for extra batteries.
Of course could not do this with my iphone which is now relegated to my grandkids for games and music.
I love this forum. Great help to me.

Same, I actually have 3 spare batteries and a spare battery charger. I don't want to have to fool with changing my battery in the car though. I've already ordered the charger from the other thread, should have it by Saturday to try that puppy out.
I'm an engineer, and I travel quite a bit.
The GPS software you use makes a huge difference. If you want the phone to charge, don't use Waze. During a test one day, Waze plugged in drained more battery than Navigon did while unplugged. Mine charges with Navigon and Pandora running simultaneously. I haven't tested Google Navigation yet, I'm going to do that today. The charger I use is a 2.1A Belkin AutoCharger made for iPhones. I'm using a USB extension cable with manually shorted data pins. I get 800-something mA out of it, unfortunately not the full 1000 the stock wall charger puts out. Running an inverter in the car with the stock charger I can get Waze to charge, but that's just not worth it for me. Too much gear in the just to charge a phone.

I know you didn't ask me, but it outputs 500mA per the specs from the paper on the box.

That is just too slow. Wireless charging would be ideal in the future when it becomes vastly available within open areas not only limited to the small charging pad, but as of now it just does not have any advantages in comparison to a standard micro USB cable; more faster, portable, direct access to storage while charging, and most abundantly available.
Well, it does have the advantage of being convenient. I would just drop it off the pad overnight.
Otherwise, yeah, it has some room to grow. A lot of the problem is that quite a bit of electricity is wasted currently.

It's not that slow, why do people seem to keep complaining about it? If ur getting less than 5 hrs sleep at night, and ur battery is under 20% when you do shut down for the night, then yeah, you may have some difficulty with this.
Wireless charging has been just slightly faster than usb charging for me. I think that with that rate and the convenience added, it is more than worth it. I was concerned about it before I got the phone, but after testing it, the battery life is double what I'm used to, so I just don't need to charge it as often. I use my phone quite a bit through the day, of the charger at 5:30 this morning, no charging during the day and I'm still at 45%.

Really is there any wireless charger available for any mobile phone..?
If the phone supports inductive charging and/or has an inductive charging back that can be used.
I ordered the LG wireless charger but verizon accidentally sent me the nokia one. I actually like the nokia one BETTER as it is smaller and is black in color. It seems to work well. It def doesn't charge as fast as my wired charger but wireless charging is very fast as well. I took a 10-15 minute shower and it went up 5% which isn't too bad.

Edit: I take that back I just ddin't have the phone high enough on the pad. It's now charging. Thx.
More OtterBox news: My fav ProClip just release a mount that apparently works with a Defender on which is a new one to me. I've always opted out on a case as they would never fit in my car mounts butthis may vhange everything. This one specifically mentions iPhone 5 but the sizes list seem to fit the DNA Defender. I have a question into them for help before I order.

What are the negative repercussions from constant or intermittent charging? I understand that it's detrimental to let the battery drain completely before charging, but constantly putting it on the pad only to pull it off again isn't harmful?

Wireless charging is way more slower than using the Turbo or even normal wall charger.
The output with wireless is max 500mA so it will take long time if you are expecting to charge your battery full

I woke up at 87% this morning as my phone was nearly full when I went to bed. More concerning is why I have so much battery drain.. But yes, once my phone reaches full charge it does *not* resume unless I remove it from the charger and put it back on. Really grinding my gears!
I know that, with some wireless chargers, there have been problems in the past with overheating. If you have to leave the phone on the Aukey Luna charger for a long time to get it charged, have you experienced any overheating issues?

I use it every night (with night clock on) and the phone is always 100% in the morning.

It suppose to be slow. Ideal of leaving overnight or leaving it when you not using it.
I didn't buy one because I have a SGP wireless charger which is a Tylt Vu OEM. I prefer a vertical standing wireless charger so that I can have a look at notifications or incoming calls easily without having to lift up the phone everytime.
I didn't get one either coz I got other chargers. Using a Frunda one (Chinese OEM) that works really well and fast for work.
And at home, I'm using the WCD-100 for LG G3. Speed is good too, However, I have to keep my phone upside down due to misalignment of the coils. Not a big issue, as I have programmed my device to rotate 180 deg when on the LG cradle.
My quick charger still in wraps..
Hello Guys, i want to know to know if i can Turn off Fast charging - because i want to have a longer Battery Life,
Also i know that IT IS Kernel related and also i could Change the Adapter too..
I Just want to know if there is a way to turn it of Kernel wise.
Why would you want that? It's only charging fast 0-50%, later on it slows down. If you really want to save battery, charge it as often (and short) as possible. If you needed to charge it quickly, you'd regret crippling the charging speed.

Exactly. Silly to turn it off. It's a benefit.
But if you really don't want to use it, just don't use a Quick Charger plug. Get some "normal" charger plug like for a flip phone.
We have tons of people asking why is my phone not quick charging (usually because it's in the last 20%, where it doesn't charge as fast), and instead you want to cripple that feature?
Or people ask why does this phone have QuickCharge 2.0 charger instead of QuickCharge 3.0 charger?
But you want NO QuickCharge. OK.
Just don't use a QuickCharge chargers. You can get "regular" chargers on eBay for like $2 or $3, because no one else wants them. Even QuickCharge are only about $5 if you know where to look, but you don't want those.

But if you really don't want to use it, just don't use a Quick Charger plug. Get some "normal" charger plug like for a flip phone.
We have tons of people asking why is my phone not quick charging (usually because it's in the last 20%, where it doesn't charge as fast), and instead you want to cripple that feature?
Or people ask why does this phone have QuickCharge 2.0 charger instead of QuickCharge 3.0 charger?
But you want NO QuickCharge. OK.
Just don't use a QuickCharge chargers. You can get "regular" chargers on eBay for like $2 or $3, because no one else wants them. Even QuickCharge are only about $5 if you know where to look, but you don't want those.

I only need quick charge when I'm in a hurry. When I'm at home I have two phones and would want to load my V30 slowly, so that the battery can Last really long. what does it matter to me if my mobile phone charges up very quickly but loses its capacity over time?
an option to de-activate Q-Charge if you need it or not would be optimal for me
You can always use Qi wireless charging pads for slow charging, then plug in when you need QuickCharge.
Plus there's tons, hundreds, of inexpensive "regular" plug chargers on eBay or other online sites.
To be honest, in my opinion I don't think a dev is going to waste time trying to disable something that is useful and everyone wants. People complain when they aren't QuickCharging, not when they are.
Plus, that would be so hard to track down if someone accidentally disabled QuickCharge.

Samsung has given that option built in whether to use or not fast charging capabilities

Show me a screenshot of that on Samsung stock ROM. My sister's S6 doesn't have that on her Samsung phone. Or I've never seen it.

OK just researched and see Samsung added it with Marshmallow to some phones. But since I think It's a somewhat silly idea, I would never go looking for it.
S7 edge, S8+ and note 8 have.

I agree, I would not disable it. I'm using the Samsung convertible wireless fast charger that Samsung gave away with Note8 pre-orders on my V30. Yes I know it doesn't fast charge the V30 but it charges it in fairly quick amount of time.

When asked questions, I try to give facts as I know them.
Sometimes I give my fact-based opinion.
Sometimes I just give my opinion, based on experience.
Point is, messing with Android for the past 8 years, I've found...
Not everything an OEM does is smart. Like removing headset jacks or making batteries smaller.
Not everything users ask for is smart. I remember a few years ago on Nexus 5 (which had a too small battery) one user kept asking how to REMOVE the battery indicator from the status bar on an AOSP ROM. They didn't want to see battery percentage whatsoever in the status bar, and were quite adamant about it to developers. I guess so they could be TOTALLY SURPRISED when their phone suddenly died? I don't know. It didn't make any sense.
