Has anybody found a good Qi wireless charging receiver for the Tab S3?
The S3 is a fairly large tablet with a USB-C connector which is (unfortunately) located slightly off center toward the right (top) edge where the power/volume buttons are placed. In order to use a Qi charging stand, it would be best if a Qi receiver pad could be placed on the back, slightly toward the left edge (near the pogo pin connector), so that the tablet could sit sideways on the charging stand with the power/volume buttons facing up.
This means we need a Qi receiver with a long USB-C connector. A typical Qi pad is about 8 cm long so we'd need one with about 7 cm of cable just to get the coil in the center of the Tab S3 and even then it might be too close to the top edge to align with a charging stand while the tablet is sideways. Most of the Qi receivers I've found only have about 2 cm of cable at most.
My Tab will sit vertically on my charging stands but it's not very stable and again, with the USB-C port off center, the coils might not align.
Alternatively, it might be possible to hack a standard Qi receiver to connect to the pogo pin connector on the side of the Tab S3.

I have the same interest to setup QI wireless charging on my Galaxy Tab S4 tablet.
Have you made progress since that initial post ?
I have not found any useful relevant information to resolve this challenge!
Thanks.

Could anyone who has this tell me what the output is on each of the 5 pins?
I'm also interested in this info. It would be interesting to see if I can wedge the inductive coil from a palm into the rezound and use my touchstone for charging.
I'm assuming that the other connections on the charging back are the same antenna ones that are on the stock case.

I know this has been brought up before to the extent that the LGOG does not officially support wireless charging but has anyone been "bold" enough to disassemble their LGOG to see if charging pads are present in order to fit the phone with a Qi charging receiver? I have not been able to find a tear-down for the phone yet. The teard-own for the LG Nexus shows a thin receiver with a 4 pin pad and I was curious if this may also be present in the LGOG. Any thoughts?
A French startup, called Energysquare, has created a new type of technology that can wireless charge almost any device. This includes devices that don't have wireless charging capabilities built-in, such as Apple's iPhone and iPad.
Energysquare consists of a charging pad and a sticker that is placed on the back of a device. The sticker sports two electrodes along with a Micro-USB, USB-C or Lightning connector that is plugged into the device's charging port.
Dont you already can buy these thing called QI charging pads? I know you have cases and stickers and kind work the same.
As the Huawei mate 10 pro has no wireless charging i've been looking for qi recievers for USB-C. Plenty of them. But i still haven't found what i am looking for(nice title for a song). One time i want wireless charging the other time i want charging by cable. Of course i can pull out the plug of the receiver but after a while this will definitely be broken and is also not handy when carrying the phone in the pocket. What i am looking for is a qi receiver wich is connected to the USB C port but also have an entrance for an USB -C Cable. Anyone knows if this exists?
I was once looking for a iPhone solution that didn't involved a thick case, and I came with the answer that a simple pass-through is not possible, some protetiction and routing circuit is needed...
So maybe aim for a case? But I also couldn't find anything.
So....
hey there, this is exactly what I am too looking for a qi coil that can be neatly tucked between the phone and the eternal protective case and has a usb c port which is also female so it can take in the usb charging without having to take anything apart, I imagine it to be not to difficult of a think if one had the parts to just modify something in existence. eg usb c and usb -c (female). If anyone finds anything, drop a shout!
I've heard something about the Pixel 6 not allowing a magnet in a case to stick to a car magnet because it interferes with the wireless charging. Is this true? This will be my first wireless charging phone since I'm upgrading from the 2XL. I just currently have a magnet in my truck and a magnet in the case to have my phone handy. I would like to do the same thing but have a wireless charger in the truck. Any ideas for this?
Yes it's true. Actually it's the chargers that have the magnets, not the phone. Apple was firt to market with magnetic chargers using the Magsafe name, but fortunately even they use the Qi standard so it should work. It does seem that Qi is the lowest common denominator, so Apple's own products (and indeed Google's charger used with Pixel 6's) will charge I think at highet than standard Qi rates, if you care.
So you have to use a case that has a metal 'ring' around the wireless charging area (so it sticks to the charger) or buy a ring that sticks on to the case. Search 'magsafe compatible' for both the charger and the ring/case options.
