*UPDATE*
FOUND A CASE BY SAMSUNG SO YOU DO NOT NEED THE RECEIVER ON THE BACK OF THE BATTERY.
I follow this guy pretty much everywhere. I came across a video he had posted about wireless charging and I have to say its pretty awesome. After some tussling around the only problem I had was getting the position just right. Other than that.... it works GREAT! If you don't mind the mini bulge you only notice because you put it on yourself BUT i think they make special cases if you do not like it.
I don't mind it, I like to think it holds it in place. I do recomend the QI wireless charger (KoolPad). People have had reports of heating up but I have not an issue with it since I have bought it. I bought 2, one for work and one for home!
I also like it because it prevents the wear and tear of opening and closing of the bottom tab.
thanks Max !
Wow, that's pretty insane... so you just put the thing on your battery...?

YES! there is a video he has for your viewing. I just updated it and just cruising around amazon and found a case that does not require the receiver as it is built in. I already bought the receiver BUT for everyone else if they wanna try it and post some feedback for everyone else.
I bought all my items on amazon and they all seem to be working just fine.

Nice, is the case rugged/durable enough to be used as a 24/7 case for the phone?

well the case is just the back cover of the stock you currently have. Just with the built in QI receiver.
I use a spigen case and works well with the charging pad

I haven't used the charging back case yet. I hear it is slightly bigger than the stock case. I ordered the QI pwd card and fits fine with the stock case. A little bit of a bulge hardly noticeable only to the person who owns the phone because you can feel it. it doesn't bother me because i like to think it keeps it in place and to be honest, i haven't had any issues. I will buy the case soon. maybe once the pad wears out

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:

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

NFC Compatible UPDATE at Bottom
This QI receiver pad works much better than the first one I tested. It's ability to work with the LG WCP-700 is a huge perk. The pad looks wider, it fits better, works with more pads, works through most cases with no issues etc.
Out of the two I've used so far, this one is better in every way... So far...
By request... This is the auction I purchased it from.
Buy it now link:

EDIT:
Added this video. It should cover the thickness, couple of cases, Google Orb charger, charge rates, and NFC usage.
EDIT (4/27/2014):
NFC Receiver UPDATE
Well I got really busy after I purchased a third receiver and didn't publish any information until now. Why did I purchase a third receiver? Well it was because of NFC. The second receiver is still the best with charging, but this one is a close second. I could not get NFC to work with the second receiver. This one will work through most cases.
eBay Link: I'm posting search results. Just match up the model with the one in the video. It's easier this way in case some of the auctions end.

OK, thanks for clarifying!
awesome video, I was looking at that receiver as well, have had good experience with that brand yipin or yieneng on m s4.
the biggest quest for me is does it bulge? the s4 there was a spot where the chips would fit in the notch for the microsd, but I dont see a notch on the note 3 so I wonder if they designed it to fit in some kind of recessed area?
Thanks in advance.
See the 3 pins where you connect the wireless receiver:
Top one is +5v.
Second one is Ground.
Thrid one is for S-View Cover (+) - (in case you wonder that the heck is that for)
In the event that you have a S-view Cover, you just have to use second as a common ground between the receiver and the S cover.

This receiver is pretty thin in everyway, as with all receiver, you will get the bulge, but you will not really notice it, would you rather have a receiver that has no bulge that does not work well or a receiver that has a slight bulge and does what you expect.
Can you still fit a case on with this installed? I have a hard case sedio with a kick stand and do not want to give it up.

you can enable s view functions as explained in my video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqzDf-CDLT8 i bought the cheapest case and receiver and works fine.
am using the same in my car with my qi enabled car charger holder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTNAPp2UkkI
have a newer one with NFC pins but not had time to do a video, will try to do one later tonight, think it should be the thinnest till date and charges fine at home.
getting the official one in a few days too and will review it when i get it. ordered a second official one from clove uk. my original order for the official one made in early october from mobilefun hit the wall from the scamsters at mobilefun. was repeatedly getting emails saying delivery delayed and whether i will accept alternate product (please note no mention of refund in any email), then a week or so ago saw on their website that it was in stock but still didnt get delivery and got another email saying further delays and saw on website that it was sold out!!!. so sent them email to send it or give refund after cancelling order. they replied with email saying order cancelled and that was nearly 2 weeks ago and yet to get refund. so have raised a claim at paypal and those scumbags havent yet responded to paypal claim and 8 days now since i have escalated this to a claim at paypal and mobilefun havent yet bothered to reply to my paypal claim. if dont get my refund will escalate it to fraud complaint with my credit card issuer against mobilefun. paid via credit card via paypal to mobilefun website in early october. just mentioning this here so that other people dont get scammed like i have been at mobilefun.

Thanks for your videos. I love wireless charging but on the note 3 it's been a bittersweet scenario...got the oem samsung charging back but there are no cases that fit that (at least that I've found) so I'm stuck choosing between a case and wireless at the moment. Your thread has given me some hope though about the possibility of using the original back with an insert that actually works and still be able to fit a case.
One question - does the phone with insert in & case on "rock" when it's on a flat surface? For example, when you have it flat on a desk/table/etc and you hit the home button on the note - does it "rock" toward you and then back after lifting your finger? This is so annoying to me and I wake the device with the home key a lot at work...it'd probably be a deal-breaker for me, but if you can share your insight I might avoid another bit of money wasted.
Thanks!
Hello all!
So, if the winter storms allow it, on Thursday I will have my Xperia Ultra to replace my beloved Note 2. Shame on you Samsung for the "amazing" .18" display size increase of Note 3!
Anyways, as always I like to have my phone ready with some accessories.
I am still a bit confused about this whole magnetic charger thingy so please provide any feedback, recommendations etc or something I might be missing as well! :good:
For first...a basic cheap case for normal use..unless I change my mind and get something with a flip.
Cheapo case
Or maybe this one too for now as a battery and more protective case:
Case and 5000mAh battery
Car mount:

Finally for now this one confuses me: the dock/charger thing:
Are either of this the same and do I need something else besides the doc...? Like I have read about a magnetic cable too.
Doc1
Doc2
I am still wanting a stylus but I would like some sort of case with a thin stylus that I can hide into the case...yes, I am used to my note spen
And also I was planning to get my usual Zagg screen protector but not sore sure if anyone has tried it since a search for Zagg showed no results.
Thanks for any help!
dealxtreme
I have deleted my long list of Xperia Z Ultra accessories found of dx.com/dealxtreme.com because they are utterly useless.
I ordered five things and ensured that they were not marked out of stock. A week later they sent me an email saying they couldn't send because something was out of stock. It proved impossible to respond to them: email bounced, phone numbers didn't work or were never answered, website chat didn't work. Their online ticketing system didn't allow creating a ticket to discuss order, you had to enter a SKU code and I didn't know which item was in doubt. Eventually I stumbled on a ticket type I could create (problem with paying) so I sent them a message and they admitted there were three items of the five they couldn't get! They asked for more time, after five days I told them to cancel the order with a full refund.
So, stay away from DX.com / dealxtreme.com as they are clearly utterly utterly useless.
This is the dock I got and have had good experiences with it. It is slow to charge but works well as a stand for you to charge your phone overnight.

How slow? The original DK30 uses around 2 hours to charge from 0-100%.
I see that Brando also have a bunch of X Z U accessories:
http://mobile.brando.com/shop/Sony-Xperia-Z-Ultra
they're more expensive than DX, but Brando in my experience are usually good quality and offer good customer service.
I've still not seen a car dock that I want to buy, I want one that will hold my XZU whilst its in its case, and attach to the windscreen. So far universal tablet holders designed for smaller tablets have looked like the best option.

Regarding car dock, I got one from infiniapps, really like the design and you can use it with a case, works better with a thin case. I would recommend the tablet version and then buy 2 of the phone metal inserts.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=360722447342&view=all&tid=441532569023
I'd stick with the DK30 dock. The maglock cable i used from DX.com wrecked my ultra. (after plugging in the magdock cable it started playing up. charging and discharging irregularly. Had to have a full mainboard replacement.) So its been 6 weeks and my ultra is finally being sent back to me after a major repair.
Link not working, can you try again?

Good call, ordered some stuff for my Z1 while some month ago. Got a mail saying everything was shipped however the tracking number went nowhere. Waited some month, nothing and tracking number still a dud. Have emailed them several times with no response. I will never order there again. Is Brando more reliable?

Hello!
I have been using the ZGPAX S5 watch. It is very powerful, not sure if you have seen some of the videos I uploaded but it runs emulators like MAME, Dreamcast and can even use the PS3 controller
BUT, the company that built it is as good it if did not exist because forget about any support from them.
So if no dev picks it up, you are not going to get much from it.
It is more of a Standalone watch than a companion to your phone. Currently only using an app called TableTak is how you can get text messages and reply from the watch.
For charging I bought the original DK30 magnetic charger. Expensive but well worth it.
As for protection, I bought some "explosion proof" glass protector for the front and a regular film protector for the rear and just some cheap plastic case from ebay just for when I am carrying it around. At home etc I just like the feeling of it naked so no cases there
Also about the watch, I returned it as the GPS was not working and right now I am undecided between buying it again or waiting for one to have ALL the features without having to fight to get things working.

I did see the videos yes did look pretty good. Apart from using a very small screen lol. I take it you use emulators on your xzu though. I think my best bet is getting a smart watch 2 at some point then. Do you actually use the dk30 dock or you taken the cable out? I can't see myself getting 1 as I always have a flip case on the phone as too worried about the phone. And wouldn't want to keep taking it out of case etc. I would like to find a genuine Sony magnetic charger though. If I do keep my xzu I would like to get some good accessories. But at present my xzu is in repair. So I have been debating about getting a HTC one max. Just not sure. I do want a good power flip case though would like the cp12. And like the look of the sbh52. that screen protector is it a glass protector and if so where did you get it from? What apps do you currently have on phone any useful/interesting ones?

I think my best bet is getting a smart watch 2 at some point then. Do you actually use the dk30 dock or you taken the cable out? I can't see myself getting 1 as I always have a flip case on the phone as too worried about the phone. And wouldn't want to keep taking it out of case etc. I would like to find a genuine Sony magnetic charger though. If I do keep my xzu I would like to get some good accessories. But at present my xzu is in repair. So I have been debating about getting a HTC one max. Just not sure. I do want a good power flip case though would like the cp12. And like the look of the sbh52. that screen protector is it a glass protector and if so where did you get it from? What apps do you currently have on phone any useful/interesting ones?

I used the DK30 all the time. I prefer the phone without a case...only phone that I actually have done this with..it just feels to awesome to hold.
That is the reason I added the glass in front and film on the back though.
This is what I got Glass Protector
As for apps, gosh I got too much stuff to name
From lots emulators to music apps like for tuning my violin.
Folder Mount which I used to same big game data to the external card is a must for me.

Hi guys.
I currently have a case from mobile fun that has s-view and qi charging. it is good but the screen is scratched and has seemingly made scuff marks on the phone screen also. at least i have a screen protector on.
i dont really utilise the benefits of the s view like music from the home screen etc and as soon as it moves slighlty off centre the full screen shows below so i lose the s view screen.
so, i want a case, not just a replacement back that has qi charging but not a flip cover/s view.
do they do them and are there any recommenations?
Bump

Glad you had a screen protector.
For the case you're looking for, I don't think so. Most people on here are using Qi insert receivers. Mine works fine. Use what ever case you want.

It's it easy to use a qi insert? Which is a good one, i read a lot about over heading with them.
I like the spigen slim armour case, any experience with it?
Cheers for the help

This thread has a lot of info... a lot.
I never tried that case, I use an insert with the Spigen Neo hybrid... works well... The insert is ineffective 5mm away from the charge pad. 1mm is taken from the insert and the backcover of the pphone... that leaves you with 4mm. Your case needs to be less than 4mm thick. I think the slim armour meets this.
Happy hunting.

Looks good to me...
This is the receiver i have:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultra-thin-Wireless-Charging-Receiver-Samsung/dp/B00GFGL0XE/ref=pd_cp_ce_0
Not sure what the nfc does for the charger.
Check out the thread I posted earlier... and then you can make a decision on the charger. I got something cheap and stylish for my nightstand but works fine.

Cheers mate
So a while back I ordered two moto stands because they were on sale. I hardly use one of them so I decided to modify one.
This is what I came up with because I had been wanting a qi wireless stand. It was a lot easier than I thought.
Took apart one of the stands. Under the pad are just four lil screws, then just clipped off a couple of tabs so that it can lay flat on the back of the qi charger.
I didnt want to use super glue to stick them together, then I remembered I had some adhesive for cell phone screens and that stuff is strong, for being super thin (i think 1/16)
Here are some pics. Works awesome and looks good.
Looks nice. I like it. Props on the creativity.
oh btw i took the pics with my N6 lol
I might try this with mine, I mainly use it for holding my phone when I do work but this is a good idea.
This inspired me. I just bought all of the stuff to do this.

haha awesome
With this setup, it only charges while it's standing up. I wanted it to charge both ways standing and laying on the side. But now I like that I can lay it on its side after its done charging, without it continuing to charge.

Yeah I might see if I can't change the position of the charging pad a bit so I can charge it on its side. I'd like to use it as an alarm clock type dock.
links to the parts you used?

It's possible, the charger would just need to be lower. Or if you had one of those rectangular ones that have like 3 coils. I think theres one on amazon that I saw thats the same thickness as this round one.

Could put the charge port at the bottom and run the cord through the back of the stand?

I dont think it would make a difference with that charger, I tried it that way and it wouldn't charge the phone sideways.
Just got a nexus 6 and i see that this stand is on sale.
Does the charging pad work with the N6 in that position?
I like the subtle plug for FKupdater.
How well does it work with a case? My nexus 4 qi charger works while the other I got for my Sammie doesn't. The nexus charger is just very difficult to find the sweet spot and get it to stay there. I'm currently is using the supcase unicorn beetle heavy duty case, awesome case by the way. Thanks

If you make this set up it works great. I've got the ringke max case on mine and it works fine.
Awesome. Buying materials right meow! Thanks
