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.

It may be a tall order, but I use my phone in a car dock, and don't want the s-view window. I would like an open face protective case/back replacement that allows for wireless charging without blocking the NFC receiver, that is non-slip (kinda like the speck cases with fingers). Anyone come across something like this? Or will I have to buy a case and a wireless charging pad and hope my NFC still works? All suggestions appreciated!!
Have you tried the official wireless battery cover from Samsung? Sounds like that is what you're looking for. Slightly thicker than the one that came with the phone but it has builtin wireless charging and doesn't mess up NFC

Just to let you know that the official LG slim hard case/battery plate that has wireless charging makes the phone slightly bigger so cases like Spiegen won't fit. I bought one for my Korean F400k to get wireless charging and now I can't put my Slim Armour case back on. And this is the non bumper variation of the two backplate covers LG makes which I wrongly assumed would be a straight replacement of the existing backplate. Notwithstanding, it is pretty nice as it gives the phone a much better textured grip...but not much by way of drop protection.
One more thing, you can forget using the Nexus wireless charger (the little square one): the phone keeps telling you to move it to the hotspot, no matter how you position it. The Nokia upright charger works fine though.

Seems like even official charger also have Hot Zone issue. It might be a software bug from LG... very strange.
I bought what I thought was an official quick circle case from a place called wackydot, and while qi works, nfc does not. I have contacted them, they sent a replacement and that one does exactly the same, qi, but no nfc. I believe the sticker is just off, however no amount of me fiddling will get it to make contact where nfc will work. I'm looking for a genuine Quick Circle case that has Qi and NFC, but all I keep finding is one from Verizon.. Will that work on a T-Mobile phone? Or does anyone know where I can get the official case that does both Qi / NFC? I love the case and phone, but I don't want to compromise one feature for the other. Thanks for any help you all can provide.
You could buy a replacement sticker with both qi and nfc for your wackydot case. It will show 4 pins instead of just 2. If your wackydot shows 4 pins and you still can't qi charge with it, it's broken.

Thats just it, qi works fine, its nfc that doesn't work.
Same problem, except that even 2 pin stickers enable nfc.
Either the quick circle case you received is defective, or your G3 is. If you G3 worked for nfc with the original back on, then return the wacky case for a replacement that works or your money back.
Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk
I bought the same case from Wackydot and until I saw this post, I didn't realize that my NFC didn't work either. I tried all my tags and have the same issue. I have a qi/nfc chip that I bought from izy on this forum and it worked great when installed with my Verizon back plate. This case from Wackydot has the same 4 pins and looks exactly like the chip I bought so I agree that it might be in the wrong location or is simply defective.
I'm pretty sure the Sprint version doesn't support wireless charging. What is the best way. A sticker? Would I need to peel off the existing NFC sticker or would just buying a qi backplate from ebay be the better option?
With the stickers you replace the factory one, but I've read stories where you have to make sure the sticker is on perfect or it won't work. The replacement back cover would probably be the easiest way just a lot more expensive.

I just use the qi flip case from vzw
I ordered the sticker. It works great and was only $10.
Buy the sticker from China. It's ten bucks and does both charging and NFC. Works well. Just takes about three weeks to get it.

I ordered Style 1 from aliexpress below. It is being delivered today (took two weeks). Apparently the price has gone up $1 since I ordered. I'll let you know how it works when I get home from work and get a chance to try it out.
Can't post links: aliexpress: Factory Direct Wholesale QI wireless charging + NFC IC chip for LG G3 CASE D855 D830 D851 LS990 VS985 F400L F400K F400S support
So far results are not good. The sticker is easy to install, but my cheap QI charger from Amazon is not working with my phone. I need to try a beter wall plug that gives at least 2A. I'll update if I get it working or not.
I bought this one, and it works just fine: http://www.ebay.com/itm/201154470247?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Scraping out the old one was a bit of a pain, but getting the new one aligned is very easy. The back has recesses that show you just where to install it.
I'm using it with this charger, and again no problems at all:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F6SPZWO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I was unable to get the Qi sticker from aliexpress to work with my phone. I tried it with two different Qi chargers and 8-10 wall plug/cord combinations. It would recognize the connection but keep giving errors about centering and such. Just to rule it out I tried the sticker from ebay linked above. This new sticker works great with both of the chargers (one of which is the one from amazon linked above) and all of the wall plug/cord combinations I have tried. The phone will even charge wirelessly through my case.
