Two questions I have as far as wireless charging goes. Can I use and qi charging plate? And does the replacement back for the note 3 make it thicker?

the charging back is Qi compatible and yes it makes it thicker, not too much though.

I ordered mine this morning!! YAY
The first thing I'm going to do is work on plans for doing a Qi Wireless charging case. I figured I would use a thick piece of wood (or 3D printed piece of plastic ) as the "case" with a cut out for the Qi parts salvaged from something found on eBay or Amazon (from a iPhone charge case etc) and connect it all via the magnetic charge port. What I was hoping to figure out is if anyone knows the positive or negative sites on the magnetic charge connector?? Or does it even matter?
I know this project will add some bulk to the already large device, but I really would like wireless charging as I have fallen in love with it!!
Thanks in advance!

One thing to factor in mind is the slow charging rates with wireless charging.
With the quick charge function on the S800, you can probably go from 0-100 in 2hours. Whereas with wireless charging it could take 8+ hours. Great if you just want to leave it on your desk at work I guess, but from personal experience with modding the note 2 to be wireless charging compatible, it was rarely a practical as I always used the cable > wireless.

I pretty much use wireless charging exclusively with my Nexus 4 and I have never had a problem with it.
Thanks for the reply though!!

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:

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.

Makes the device look abit thick imo?

If only they could release a back only cover with qi charging. Not a fan of the book style cases
QI charging with such a big battery will end in 6+ hours from 0-100% as the QI Charging current is restricted.

the whole point is to avoid messing with the flaps too much (when you have to plug/unplug microUSB cable) to avoid unnecessary wear & tear...
it takes maybe 2-3 hours to charge my nexus 5(2300mAh) on Qi, probably 3-4 for the z3 (3100mAh)
Yeah, I now. But our Z3 offers a magnetic charging port - which also allows full charging current and this adds no bulk
Also you can charge everywhere and only have to carry a small cable instead of a bulkier QI charger. Or you chan use a dock, whatever you prefer.

Well, the point of Qi is that it's universal. E.g. a Nexus charger will work with a Lumia, will work with a GS4. Z2 and Z3 can't even use the same dock.
I get why Sony used the magnetic charger, the thinnest qi coils are still around 1mm. When the phone is 7.3mm thick, it adds up. But personally, I wouldn't mind a thicker phone, but I understand their reasoning.
I absolutely agree. If QI was readily available for most battery operated devices that would be very convenient. As it is now it does not matter if you buy a magnetic charger or QI, because you have to buy each for your phone.
The Z2 dock works for the Z3 - no problem there.
I'm torn between this and the Style Up cover with the window. I don't see why they couldn't add the smart cover functionality to the Qi case. I upgraded from a Nokia Lumia and I have a couple of wireless chargers at home that I was hoping to continue using.
Then again, this Qi case costs more than the Style Up cover and the dock combined!
The style up cover has been delayed until November 4th according to an email I got from Amazon today.
I did look at the Qi charger for the Z2 but it was/is quite ugly and bulky. So it's mag charger for me. One dock and two plain magnetic connector cables.
I have two Qi charging plates and they're already quite busy charging a N7, G3 and 1520. And they do all take a long time to charge, and the N7 charges to full and then just starts to drain without ever topping up again. So leave it for a few days and it will have charged and then drained. No such problems with the magnetic connector.

My G3 takes 2.5 hours from 2%-100% with a 3000mah battery. Qi charging is fairly fast if you use a 1A output qi charger
USA's Verizon exclusive Z3v has QI built-in, that's actually prety useful if you ask me. I use the magnetic charging on my Z1 but QI would probably be more convenient. Too bad Brazil's model doesn't seem to come with this feature. I just don't get it, why put in on Verizon's model but not on global's. Maybe I'll just stick with my Z1 for longer and get the Z4 when it comes out (hopefully with QI built-in and optical image stabilization)

I don't quite understand that as well. Why does only the Verizon one have it? Maybe they are saving it for the Z4 or they just don't want to implement it into the Z3 that is already in production. I heard that the Z3v is a bit thicker than the regular Z3 because of the Qi Charging.. Besides that, I guess you can get the Charging dock fr the z3 instead. Either way, you won't have to remove the flaps so I guess it works. If the Verizon Z3 had international bands, I'd purchase that one instead (unless the carrier is branded all over the phone).
Verizon will most likely brand the hell out of it. Verizon is also CDMA, not GSM. won't work outside of the states.
I thought all of verizon's LTE phones are unlocked for their sim cards....?

It wont... because the magnetic charge connector on the Xperia Z3 can only receive power and cannot communicate. So there is no way it can detect if a magnetic charger is connected or a Qi chargepad.
Im searching the web for weeks now trying to find a bumper for my Z3 with Qi over magnetic connectors. I dont understand why companies did not come up with that allready. It wouldnt add any more thickness to the bumper, and you could easily charge 1000 mAh. In wich the Phone will charge in 3 to 4 hours i guess. Thats great when charging over night.
I see were you are comming from. The culprit is the QI charging pad output, so you are still left with that low current.
Hi guys. I bought my G3 few months ago. Its not a new one, I bought it as second hand but condition is 99,99%.
As the information I got from the seller its D855 Vodafone - International.
So my question is as those images i shot on my back case is this true that my phone can use with a Qi charging pad right away now or not?
Because after searching through the net, I didn't find any information about Qi charging relate to G3 Vodafone.
The receiver on my back case has 4 pins (as I know 2 is for NFC, and the other 2 will be for Qi charging).
The problem is I went to other shop (not really a shop, this guy just shipped items from China), he was selling some Qi charging pad. I put on 1 pad there but nothing happen, try many angles but still the same.
So whats the problem, my phone or his pad?
And here my back case. Thanks for your feed back and sorry for my bad English:
Yes, it should work.
If it doesn't work with the Chinese charger it's because the charger...

Make sure the golden square hits the ones on the back of the phone
Is there anyway i can get qi wireless charging on my f400s by buying a back cover which supports qi?
Qi works out of the box
Yes your G3 should be Qi compatible out of the box...I have a Panasonic, and Nokia Qi Charger, and they start working about 2 seconds after I place them on the charge pad.
Just FYI, the G4 on the other hand isn't Qi Compatible out of the Box...Go figure, I guess Quick Charge 2.0 is the better standard...=(
