I was on Amazon looking at car chargers today for my S8 and noticed that there were some magnetic ones with Qi built in to them. I one that was compatible with Galaxy S7 but didn't see the S8 as compatible. Could it work?
You'd better ask the seller to confirm.
I' ve been selling an air-cooling Qi wireless charging stand on AMZ, which works perfectly for S8. If you are interested, message me for a bonus code.
I'am using the mophie charge force magnetic desk charger, with Pitaka aramid magnetic case. not necessarily compatible. but work very well! Not cheap either.

The Nexus 5/7 has Qi charging built-in and will stick to the magnetic Nexus Wireless Charging Pad.
I have seen this for the Note 3 that will add Wireless charging: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GMRXD9U/
and this magnetic car dock that comes with a metal plate: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DPMNNUO/
Is it possible to add both to the Note 3 without changing to a thicker battery cover?
I would like to know also. Can anyone advise? Thanks in advance..
I just spoke to another user via PM.
Apparently the nGroove Snap holds the phone pretty well using just the official Samsung Wireless Charging Cover, without an additional metal plate. Looking at pics online, i can see that there's some more metal in that cover, maybe that's why it works.
I had also read about people putting the metal plate behind their batteries - but I have no idea how thick it actually is.
The second one is good.
anyone knows of a similar pass through coil in Uk, i mean ebay UK or amazon.
The magnetic charging docks are not bad. Also, the qi charging case from Sony is pretty nice. However, the best case would be a plastic case with a Qi wireless coil inside with a lead that wraps around and fits over the magnetic contact. Qi chargers like the Tylt work really well and they are so handy at home and in the car. I wear a holster so the flip cover is not necessary.

Can you please tell me where you managed to get the Qi charging case? I cannot find it anywhere...

Sony Cancelled the accessory.
They also removed any trace of it on their official websites.

I know, that's why I asked if maybe there are some prototype floating around
I did not mean to infer that I had one of the Sony Qi charging cases. I may have purchased one had they been available. I prefer the a slim fitting tpu or hybrid case. However, none that I have found fit correctly. Sony's magnetic charging docks are great and work fast, but one has to remove his case to use them. Yet no one makes a good case that covers up the SIM/Micro USB cover and exposes the magnetic charging area. This is totally stupid. One only seldomly changes his SIM and needs access to the micro usb port, but one always needs to charge.
If Sony is not going to add a Qi charger in the phone, they should at least make some good folio and slim fit cases at a sub $50 price that can be left on while charging using the magnetic dock.
Also, charging with a car dock is a pain without Qi charging using the Z2. The buttons are all in the wrong place also and interfere with the sides of both my car docks.
It's a real shame that Sony has not made a better attempt at charging options combined with cases. The Sony Z2 is a great phone. Even better yet woukd be a removeable battery. This is the only feature that keeps me going back to Samsung.

I have been thinking about trying this. I have dismantled a magnetic charger and there are only 2 wires in there. Positive and negative. Is there anything stopping me buying a universal micro usb qi adapter and soldering the positive and negative from that onto the positive and negative of the magnetic charger and hiding it all inside a case?
That's an interesting Idea. I've thought of the same thing, though I wanted to connect to the magnetic charger contact rather than the micro USB port. I'd like to make a case with a Qi charger and FM radio antenna built in. It wouldn't take up that much space.
I hope someone at Sony is watching this thread.

I for one actually feel a bit cheated.
The did announce Qi charging capability through a case and plate and while I had to choose between the S5/M8/Z2, this was one of the element that I considered...
Now all of a sudden they decide to cancel...
Though I would much prefer a Qi charger, the magnetic chargers can be useful. I bought some cheap magnetic charging cables and cut some of the plastic off them so they would work with my phone's case on. The magnets are weak and it s a pain to get them attached but of charges quite fast.
I was hoping that the Z3 would come out of the gate with wireless charging. In a statement made a few months back, they stated they would have Qi charging by the end of this year.
Hopefully the Z4 will have it. They also need to put 32 GB of internal storage in their phones.

If someone made a QI charging case, I'd be willing to pay for it, as long as it looked good enough!
might be worth testing out to see if the WCR14 connector and charging type works on a Z2. i can see the connector alone makes the phone look much bigger.
Why sony decided to put a magnetic charge on the side is beyond me.
Did anybody get any where with this? I am thinking about getting one of the coils on ebay for the samsungs and modifying it, they look very slimline as I suppose they are design to fit behind the battery cover?
I am planning to have it sit inside a TPU case I have. The difficult part will be the magnetic part / Soldering....etc
Hi guys! I've been eyeing a wireless charger for a while now. I have the D855 which includes Qi wireless charging capabilities
.
Last time I purchases a generic charger for the Note 2 it got really hot for my liking.
I've had an eye for this one... Aukey N12:
http://www.aukey.com/product/wireless-charger-n12
Unfortunately I can only find this one on eBay Australia:
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=171730898638&alt=web
But it's $80+ down to $6.99 which is concerning.
So are there better alternatives (I assume there are heaps)?
Thanks!! [emoji4]
Will wireless chargers charge through some/all cases or covers?
It would be a pain to have to keep removing a cover (for example gel or plastic one) to be able to charge, espeically for those that are a really tight fit.
The Nokia wireless charges work flawlessly
The Nokia one is great but hard to find cheap.
Try the WCD-100 which is from LG and you can get it from Ebay for under $40-50. It works perfectly with the LG G3 (with a case). You just need to make sure you have a 1.5Amp USB charger as the WCD-100 doesn't come with a wall plug, just the USB cable.
I have several wireless chargers, the ones I like best are the Itian desktop charger and the Ikea Desk lamp charger. I have the Itian at work and the Ikea on my nightstand next to my bed. I need to put some clear rubber "feet" on the Ikea charger for easier alignment, and maybe find a way to add the charger for my G Watch R, but both work well. I should also add a disclaimer that I have only used the Ikea charger with the LG quick circle case, bit the Itian worked with the thinner cases, not so much with the leather book case (plastic and leather between the phone and charger)
@Aid777
It really depends on how thick it is. I reckon <4-5mm will be able to. I hope to get one soon and I'll let you know when I do.
Do someone know, will wireless charging work with Speck Presidio Grip? I want to buy car mount with Qi wireless charger (https://www.cafago.com/en/p-pa4049.html) and I need to know will it even work.
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
I wanted to have wireless charging on my 3a XL to prevent wear and tear on the charging port. I charge once a day using USB cable and I realize if I will do this everyday there is a risk of damaging the charging port. Although it did not happen on my previous Android phones, i still wanted to be cautious as i like the 3a XL so much and planning to do upgrade after 3yrs or so.
I was able to get a Nilkin Qi Wireless charging receiver and Anker Qi charging pad. The receiver fits OK on my Poetic rugged armor case. I can now do wireless charging without hassle!
Cool that you got this working.
I will say that according to the breakdown guides that I saw on the 3a series, the USB port is actually modular. So if it did break for some reason (I agree with you that it is a pretty rare, but not unfathomable, thing to happen) it should be super simple to replace. No soldering needed. Just pull the old module out and replace with a new module. https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Google+Pixel+3a+Teardown/123256
I wonder if those steel plates they sell, so that the phone will stick to magnetic mounts, would work if placed between the Qi charging adapter and the phone...?

It won't and you could risk a fire from the heat that gets pumped into the metal
