So I think I'm going to turn over a new leaf and try to keep a phone for at least a year. Well doing so will require an otter box or similar. The problem here is wireless charging. If it doesnt charge I'm going to have to use the plug. I know first world problems If I take that annoying flap off before it snaps off will the USB port still resist water?

If you have the flap off and the stock Samsung charger isn't in it, it is not resistant to water.

Well I hope they hurry up with the wireless charging covers.

The wireless covers are already available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Wireless-Charging-Cover-Galaxy/dp/B00ITI24EK/
Although, they really don't seem all too different than the standalone wireless charging receivers which can be had for a third of the price: http://www.amazon.com/JIAKE-Wireless-Charger-Receiver-Charging/dp/B00JO1TLJW/

I've had my eyes on a similar product and it seems they aren't thin enough to seal the cover on. The only review of this one says he thinks its sealed so I'll keep my eye on that one for more reviews.

I see where some people have been playing with BB Demos lately. Has anyone noticed if the VZW model has the pins for wireless charging?

it may be like the sprint phone and be covered up by the sticker on the back.
bb really strips the phone down by taking the stylus and adding that security device in the back.
The Vzw model does not have wireless charging pins.

Then why doesn't it work? I have Qi compatible pad that charges a HTC Droid DNA just fine. But no dice with the Note 2
Agreed - those pins are part of the NFC antenna. The verizon model does not have the charging pins (or they are covered up by the backplate of the phone). The wireless charging pins would be next to the battery if they were visible.
See this for the pin locations:

Yep, those pins are for NFC. Unlike the Galaxy S3 which housed NFC in the battery, the Verizon Note 2 has NFC in the door. That's what those pins are for.
Damnit all to hell. Lol. My bad. Guess I shouldve noticed the battery didnt say nfc o.0

Isn't there something from qi that uses the same pins for both NFC and inductive charging?

The other Note 2s had to have an induction coil added and connected to the charging pins for wireless charging to work. Look at this thread:

looks like you guys are right, no charging pins for verizon's model.

This guy does the whole thing on his verizon phone on youtube. He used a back to a samsung charge phone so its qi compatible.
I have a Qi compatible charger and can tell you that it doesn't work for me.

I thought about that but the connectors are actually on the motherboard, that said, you could mod the motherboard with copper tape, then use a wireless charging back (if they ever release them) from an international version

Can I ask...
How is connection strength of the magnet?
IF your phone is charging on the desk, can you pick it up and use your phone normally without breaking connection?
Or do you need to pretend like you are handling a bomb (so to speak..) because the connector will fall off with movement?
The shipping cost is way to high here. I live in a small town.
Sent from my C6802 using xda app-developers app
It's good, better than the one from dk30 . But it's still better to leave the phone on desk and charge.

Here's one I found on Amazon
I'm going to order a couple because the main reason I plug a USB cable into my phone is to charge it - I very rarely plug it in to transfer data.
Of course when it comes to flashing custom ROMs things change...

wow that cost as much as a QuickCircle Case. But i guess cuz its faux leather. Thanks for the link, good to know they're rolling out with accessories.

If I understood correctly we should just need to order an international backplate with 4 pins instead of 2.

To enable Qi charging on our devices with the Circle case it is my understanding we need the international backplate. I may be confused tho and it may be NFC+ we need the international back for.
That makes sense as the thread I read was talking about the carrier on carrying no Qi enabled cases. Which makes sense if our devices don't have wireless charging backs.

I saw the person that posted about that, but it ended up that he didn't have the right case base on what Verizon told me. I guess we will just have to wait and see. I would be okay with a Qi charging back too.
VZW would do something like buy rights to put the only Qi backs on their G3s

I've found that most of the "creaking" noises comes from the battery being slightly loose.
Try taking out your battery and see if it still creaks.
I thought the back cover was solid not flimsy like past phones? I'm not going to press around the camera to see if I hear a creak. Lol
Mine has a slight creek in one corner, however, I fixed it by heating it with a hair dryer and bending it a little and now JTS perfect. I have 3 back covers and the Att one creeks more for some reason but I don't notice anything while it's in my case.
