Hey guys,
I am new to wireless charging and one of my colleague talks highly positive of the concept. Specially when at night, how easy it is to pick up the phone from the charging pad, surf for a while and put it back without the hassle of looking for the wire and plugging into the ports.
I have a note 3.. and planning to go for a sgp neo hybrid case.. will i be able to make use of the charging pad along with the neo hybrid case. I do understand that a custom case cover is needed for using the wireless charging kit.. which is provided by samsung for S4. but i think they still havent come up for N3.
Anyhow i've seen on various youtube videos that many a times third party cases also work with wirelss charging without the mod/hack. Anyone tried neo hybrid for n3 with their charging pads?
I have tested this with 3 different cases except the Spigen because I haven't received it yet but I don't think that this case will be the exception

Thanks for your reply, but what was the outcome? were u able to charge with the third party cases? Are the charging times same.. slower or faster.
With Samsung charging kit that includes the back cover and the pad, they claim that the charging is faster than conventional charging cos it charges at 600MAh's.
M8 QI has sensor at least my pad has so if it beeps and light goes green in pad no matter if I have the phone naked or in a case it charges with 640ma this charge my phone in 4 to 5 hours which occurs every night and I am fine. Imagine that I had put a plastic cap in bottom of phone to have the usb3 plug clean from dust.

Jerry thanks for your response and your the discount code. i will start reading the pros and cons of the charger.
Can you try to upload some pictures etc.. i like the 45 degree slant.. its like a dock.. that charges wirelessly.. instead of placing on a pad. Good stuff.
Pls try to put some reviews. If you can today i will place the order tonight.
The 45 degree needs inside the back cover I think 4 metal things and the base has magnets and that's how it stands. I have this http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=360732881624&globalID=EBAY-AU and is working fine, I had post a video also in the 1st wireless thread here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LaQQnc2dmU&feature=youtube_gdata_player that I demonstrate it

That's just your standard Qi charging pad. Won't work with your N3 unless you have the 'official' Samsung charging back plate, or you modify a receiver between your stock back plate, and battery.
In my experience,
With the samsung charging back plate, none of the standard N3 cases will fit on the phone anymore. It's because the back plate is thicker than the stock one.
With a receiver installed between the stock back plate and battery, it will bulge out. I don't like that either.

Another thing, the charger is a 1Amp charger, i believe for the N3 you need atleast 2Amp.

I am not sure if the N3 and S4 use the same charging technology, cos in this video below the guy is charging a S4 on the TYLT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5g2rVraB1g
The thing i like about tylt is that it has three coils for charging unlike one for others, where u dont have to find the sweet spot... and lay your phone to pickup the right spot for charging.. demo on this video

What I was trying to clarify, that even if you bought that charging stand, you'll need the wireless receiver on the phone itself.
That didn't seem clear to everyone on this thread.

That's only if you have the official Samsung charging back installed.
See this link;
http://www.mobilefun.com/40793-official-samsung-galaxy-note-3-wireless-charging-cover---black.htm
The Note 3 does not support wireless charging unless you buy that back, or a receiver that goes between the battery and stock back plate.

Thanks for all the links.
I guess i understand about the receiver now. Just read the whole wireless charging thread on this section.
This is totally new to me, hence the confusion... the back cover you mentioned.. does it add bulk to the phone.. as in thickness?
Is there a way a single coil or some chip can be added to the current phone cover. I have verizon model.

Yes, the samsung wireless charging cover is thicker. Will add 2mm, therefore, all your cases won't fit. Including the Neo Hybrid.
You can get receiver that goes between the battery and cover, but from my experience, it makes the rear cover bulge a bit.

1) Samsung has a wireless charging back (wireless receiver built-in) that replaces the battery cover/back already on the phone.
It makes the phone too thick for a case (a bumper might work).
2) They also make a S-view flip cover that replaces the stock back and has the wireless receiver built-in, no additional case needed.
3) Aftermarket Qi receivers can be purchased on Amazon and eBay that are placed inside the stock back cover, and if they don't cause a significant bulge in the back you can use a normal case, but one with a TPU or silicone back is most likely to work.
4) If you have a Qi receiver from a Note 2 (or similar) you can modify it to work inside the stock back cover.
ALL of those methods will require a Qi transmitter, or charging pad.
At least one seller on Amazon is offering a kit with both the Qi insert & charging pad, about $30 when I last looked.

Looks like these recievers can be easily inserted into the back cover.. anyone tried it yet? or whats your opinion about this?
Adding the official samsung back cover with 2mm is not a big issue, but i dont wan to loose the phone protection without a neo hybrid.

I was looking at the video again, it doesnt look like attaching the receiver on your original cover has added any bulk or thickness right? Do you think it will fit the neo hybrid case.
Amazon has these receivers for 10 bucks or so.. i was planning to get one of these receivers and then get the TYLT pad for charging.. I was reading reviews accross various forums, and people are having high opinions about TYLT's features.

The cheap one may have been from eBay, or it's gone up.
Best price I see for a kit now is $48, http://www.amazon.com/Standard-Wire..._1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1382047175&sr=1-3
There is a $10 qi insert:
http://www.amazon.com/Docooler-Stan...1382048041&sr=1-19&keywords=note+3+qi+charger
plus a $20 charging pad:
http://www.amazon.com/DigiYes®-Stan...1382048041&sr=1-23&keywords=note+3+qi+charger
By the way, I ordered an insert from that seller, it said "in stock" but the expected delivery time was 24 to 43 days once I got the order in. It does seem like you should know that before ordering.

Thanks for that info, i was about to place an order with that seller.. why wait for over a month when you can get the same from a US seller for the same price.
I was wondering if the receiver for Note 2 will work on the Note 3.
Many a US sellers are selling the recievers for Note 2.

I have the Samsung OEM Wireless charging pad and a QI receiver pad set up...
With my S3, I was able to charge through an Otterbox case. With the Note 3 and a UAG case, it isn't able to charge without connecting/disconnecting. Is this an issue with the receiver or would a new charging pad make a difference? I was already looking at the LuguLake...
Thanks for any suggestions!

Try to take out some adhesives from the qi receiver in specific the ones that facing the backplate and try again. I don't have the original pad but 2 cheapo eBay ones and 3 receivers and all combinations work fine with any case including Spigen or a leather fat portfolio that I have.

maybe the charging current is not enough for note 3 if you have installed them at right position.
i think that the charging current of note 3 need to be bigger than s 3.
Can someone else comment on this? I'd like to snatch up the Samsung wireless charging kit, but I use a Spigen case. Has anyone had any luck using the official charging kit with an aftermarket case? Thanks.
Have you tried it without the UAG case?
Hello,
Just wondering if anyone has a cheap desk stand that can cope with the Note in it's official S-View case.
Some are moulded to only hold it without any case on.
Also one that provide data as well as charge would be good as I've noticed some are just power.
Thanks,
Daniel

$3 Business card holder from Staples

I'm looking for the thinnest Qi charger available. It doesn't have to be fast charging, just super thin. I have the Ravpower Mini charging pad, but it is slightly too thick for what I want to do with it. I want to glue it down to my RAM mount so that I can charge wirelessly in the car while in use. Thanks!

Why wouldn't it?
Because it's additional material between phone and wireless charger? I don't know, how it works.

It's plastic. It'll be fine. You can charge with a case on.
Thanks for help, thread can be closed, if there's any moderator
I wouldn't be so quick to call it good. While my S8 charges fine with a Speck case on a Samsung charger, a friend has a GMC Yukon with a charging pad built in the center console. Neither my S8 with Speck case nor his S8 with whatever case he has will charge there. Remove the case and it charges fine.
Iv just bought the speck grip case and it works pretty fine with my anker wireless charger
