This may have been answered already, but I can't find anything. I just got the S-View case for my Note 3, and I was suprised to see Qi (Wireless Charging) connectors and hardware inside the back of the case. Unfortunately, when I sat it on my Qi charger, nothing happened. I've seen some posts that ATT/Verizon might have blocked it, and some others about some kind of rig with paperclips, but I can't seem to get the whole story. Does the S-View case support Qi, and if so, why doesn't it work?

Hey Everyone,
I really want wireless charging but don't want the extra bulk that comes with the Samsung wireless charging kit. Can anybody recommend a good aftermarket wireless charging kit. Want to keep my S4 slim.

Yes like the palm pre charging mod. But I have seen around these kits that you can buy that are kinda in the same realm of the palm pre charging mod.. But am scared to get them due to well them turning out to be crap.. was hoping someone has some good experience with any of them and can recommend one.

I can't attest to it being the "best" or anything but I have this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Arrival-QI-Standard-Wireless-Charger-Receiver-Pad-For-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S4-SIV-/380648252656?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item58a06764f0
With it i use a nokia DT-900 base and so far it's been good. Maybe a bit more heat than a wall charger but nothing that has seemed alarming. It does add quite a large bump on the back of the phone but I like it as it lets out the speaker sound on a flat surface with a case on. I'm happy so far.
I found it through this thread:

There is some decent wireless charging discussion there and some links to follow for more

So it works decently through a case?
I know amazon has a few qi compatible pads that's go on the inside of the battery back and a couple come with the charging pads included but haven't bothered to order them cuz they being shipped from Hong Kong... What's the point of having amazon prime if I just go ordering things and having to wait a month for them to get here haha

I use a small TPU case so I can only attest to it working with that. Although I'm currently using it with a little double sided sticky pad between the two which adds bulk so I would wager that it'll work with just about anything besides a huge tank of a case.
Edit for clarity: The sticky pad is outside the case between the charger and case so there is a considerable amount of thickness added

I browse a lot and post rarely, hoping that I can find the answer I'm looking for without having to create some kind of obnoxious repeat thread. I try to observe the rules in every capacity and I'm sorry if this frustrates any regular users in this forum. I just, for the life of me, can't find a guide to using a qi receiver sticker AND and an S View flip cover. I know that there has to be some manipulation or modding as far as the pins are concerned (i.e. which qi pins need used and which pins should be available to the S view case), but I need it to be spelled out plain as day so I can understand. I WANT both of these features and don't want to wait until god-knows-when for samsung to release that official cover option at a huge price point. I'm reasonably capable enough that with a guide, I think I could do it. I'm just not rich enough or adventurous enough to find out through trial and error which combination of pins it is. I've seen some people say it can't be done, and some saying it can as long as at least one specific pin is left for the S View case. Is this a lost cause?
Again, apologies if this bothers anybody. I'm just trying to get the most out of an already outstanding device. I'm using the model from Verizon if it makes a difference to how I should go about this. Happy Holidays to everyone, and thanks for posting some sweet black friday deals
I'm thinking the qi pad I'll get is this one : http://www.amazon.com/Docooler-Stan...g-Receiver/dp/B00FTULQJU/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_i
It has great reviews and the setup seems idiot-proof. I'd like to use the official samsung S-View flip cover with it.
In any rate I feel like any case besides the S view flip coveres don't use the device to its full potential (though I definitely understand some people wanting more protective cases). What are your thoughts on that? Or this there another case you think is seriously a step up from the S View?
If this does violate any rules, let me know and I'll delete the thread. NOT trying to step on anyones' toes; I just don't know where else to turn to as XDA has always been my number one spot for questions about pretty much anything un-officially android.

The Note 3 has 3 pins, all you have to do is attach a copper wire (trimmed) to the middle one than attach the QI receiver which is going to take up the top and middle pin, than that extension you made of the middle pin is going to go over the QI receiver and you're going to connect that middle extension wire you made and bottom pin to the S-view cover. You have to also trim down the top pin of the S-view cover in order to keep it from extruding or bulging out. The QI receiver and the S-view cover are going to overlap each other on the middle pin.
Here are some diagrams i drew on my Note to help better explain it :
Here's a link i found on the N3 forum of someone who did the same thing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47673578&postcount=4
hope that helps
If you want you can also make a tear in the QI receiver and just attach the copper wire directly to the positive side of the QI receiver instead of a reach around approach.
If you're planning on getting the official Samsung S-View cover, why not wait for the version with wireless charging built in? It's only $10 more and guaranteed to work.
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EF-TN900BWESTA
from my information the s view also uses the two top pins, same as the qi receiver.
whiles we're on the subject there is a thread on this, just a bit of searching will get you there, no need to open a new thread.

Let's talk about cases and wireless changing - what works and what doesn't:
For example
Works
Generic charging back and cheap gel case works with Tylt charger
Generic charging back and cheap gel case works with LG hockey puck charger
Otterbox defender works with the tylt vu and qi sticker
Nillkin bumper case works with the Tylt wireless charger
Slim Armor works with the Tylt Vu
Qi sticker chip with generic eBay hockey puck (Powerbot clone) and it charges with Seidio Surface
Qi sticker (from GB) on OEM backing with Quick Circle Case (without the built in inductive) works on both the Tylt Vu as well as the LG WCP-300 puck.
Ringke slim case and with the 3 Coil wireless pad+original LG USB cable+2A Samsung charger (links in post #21)
but
Doesn't work
slim armor DIDNT work with Nokia Dt910
Works partially
3rd party quick circle case with wireless charging I got off of Ebay and ordered the WCD-100. Although it worked I kept
getting the center phone correctly message every time I put it on.
Best Buy Insignia TPU case has some trouble with the Tylt Vu. Wireless charging notification pops up frequently
How about posting here what we know works - and what doesn't. I'll update here from your posts so please make my life easier and give me something that I can just cut and paste.

You forgot about the Qi sticker chips for those who purchased.
I have a Qi sticker chip with generic eBay hockey puck (Powerbot clone) and it charges with Seidio Surface.
Overall, I think wireless charging will work with any case so as long there is no interference such as magnets or something.

Sent from my LG-D851 using XDA Free mobile app
My slim armor DIDNT work with Nokia Dt910. Had the on off issue. Ordered a lg wcd100 will see what happens.
EDIT : forgot to add that i got the slow charging message when using the case.

problems with that one when I get it then I'll know it's the case that's the issue.
This thread will be hard to follow just like the "What wireless charger works best with the G3" thread. I had to read that thread over and over. lol A list in the OP would be nice but a little time consuming to make I guess.
Nillkin bumper case works with the Tylt wireless charger. I will test the Insignia case at some point.

It should cut down on the same questions and not everyone has time to read a long thread. If OP didn't want to do it I could have done it
Maybe the OP also needs to add "a case and charger might work for someone and not another person. I guess depending on the sticker/placement".

I apologize for not updating the first thread within microseconds of someone posting - sheesh.
In order to make this thread worthwhile, we really need more information on some of the more obscure combinations. Stickers, for example, can come from multiple vendors and each may be a different quality. I'd suggest adding a link for no-name products. I'll continue to update the first post every couple of days for a while until we have a good representation of products.
I am using this OEM rear plate.
I am also using the Best Buy Insignia TPU case.
The charger is the Tylt Vu.
The Tylt works fine without the case on the phone but has trouble with this case.
Slim Armor works with the Qi sticker and the Amazon Cheotech charger....

It was a joke. Calm down. And my comment about the Seidio was because you updated the original post with stuff that was posted after mine and thought you missed it.
As for the Qi sticker chips, there's only one source that makes them but obviously sold by many others.
Just got my official LG qi charger WCD-100. I really like it, it's stable, and charges quite fast for qi. I got it for a pretty good deal so I don't mind and this is my 3rd qi charger that i currently have and by far the best one. It's really nice because I can't place my phone on it the wrong way. You just put it on and you're done! No alignment bs like on my other ones.
Qi sticker (from GB) on OEM backing with Quick Circle Case (without the built in inductive) works on both the Tylt Vu as well as the LG WCP-300 puck.
So after reading a bunch of posts about adding wireless charging and looking at a lot of QI+ NFC receivers on eBay and Amazon I had a question for you lot. The first few I saw had a heat spreading tape (the security sticker basically had copper on it to spread the heat) and haven't seen many since then (can't even find the originals that did). Should I worry about this? We all know this phone can get really hot. Yes I've applied some patches to help with it, but still, I was concerned!
If anyone could point me to a QI+NFC receiver that does have it, or an after market heat spreading security sticker, that'd be great! I'd also like to double check that the replacement NFC sticker continues to work with tags as well as beaming to another phone! (I'm asking because my GF got the Sprint Galaxy S4 and it doesn't seem to even acknowledge tags like mine does, ps, am using whiztag ntag216). Also, I'm using a Spigen Slim Armor case and want to make sure wireless charging works through it and NFC (tags and beaming) continue to work through it as well.
Thanks guys!

I bought this (Link below) and it came with the "heat spreading" sticker. It works well with charging, however, I cannot use any case on my phone while I charge or else it "slow charges." I have no idea if the NFC works because I don't use that feature. No heating problems when charging with Qi.
