The charging pad? My Verizon one charges to 100%.

Yes the Energizer charging pad. I have a non-oem battery in now, that could be the problem. I will put oem back in and see if that works.

NFC Antenna in Battery

Verizon's phones don't have the Ant in the battery behind the battery wrap???
[Galaxy S III Accessories] alee:
In stock configuration the antenna is on the battery.

Due to all the added equipment in the inductive battery door which would impede the signal to the battery-based NFC antenna, there are 2 leads going to the inductive charger receiver, and 2 leads going to another NFC antenna in the battery door.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
I'm selling my 2 Inductive Doors and charging pad for $100 shipped for everything. I spent $120 for all the materials, I don't need these since I did the Palm hack to be able to use a cover and Verizon won't let me return it since I'm past my 14 day return period :/ It's always been 30, so I don't understand but wtv. I am done arguing with stupid people at Verizon...PM me if you'd like to take everything off my hands.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cizake:
I bought 2 touchstone Palm thinking Verizon inductive cover would work with them but no luck.

Is there a mod or something I could do to get it to work?

Thank you
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sircody:
They're both Induction but 2 different types/formats....The Touchstone/Palm has copper coil and Verizon's is a Big flat magnet and circuit board...Go to Amazon and search PowerMat with Iphone case.....I got 2 sets, Charger Mat with case (case to tear out coil unit) for $12 including shipping.....anything powermat. Samsung is working with them etc...Good Luck:good:

Any updates on powermat verizon door compatibility

Are there any updates on this? I have the older PMM-HO100 powermat home and office mat and was wondering if the verizon door would work with the charger. I read somewhere that powermats have some chip built in that would prevent charging using doors other than powermat's. I dont know if there is any truth to this.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sircody:
One set for charging, other set for NFC
[Galaxy S III Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
Powermat isn't based on Qi technology/standard, they have their own patented version of "wireless" charging. So unless you modify the insides it won't work

[Galaxy S III Accessories] eatonjb:
I still don't understand when the Verizon has that, and the rest do not. NFC just does not work on my phone at all with this Verizon cover on my AT&T

== Yea.. I tapped that!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sircody:
All other S3 phones excluding the Verizons will get a different kind of cover. Verizion chose this induction cover so they could sell the pads they already had. that cover you have has the plate at the bottom in the cover right? that is the extended antenna because that induction style in cover interfered with the NFC. All other S3's have the ant in the Battery....

[Galaxy S III Accessories] maniac2k:
Just tried this mod tonight. Everything went good but i cant get my cover on 100% I still have a small bulge where the final circuit board was removed and you dug out a little of the cover. Ive been digging away to get that extra little bit but i think im gonna end up having a hole in the cover to get it to snap 100% No big deal cuz im gonna put a case on it anyway. I have a vzw phone so i didnt scratch the stuff off by the battery. Nfc tags are in the mail so i cant test nfc yet.

---------- Post added at 01:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------

Update. Can not charge through silicon case. If i remove the case it works fine. I added the hard plastic piece back on and it charged fine through case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] antzvill:
please take pictures and post. Im very interested why you couldnt get it to close 100 percent might have something to do with the different back half of the phone you have with nfc contacts that us sprint users dont have or ur just not pressing case hard enough lolz. i did a test for a guy with a flygrip kickstand who wanted to know if he could wireless charge with that on back of phone. so no case phone with this mod can charge up to one full 1cm of plastic (two slim jewel cases) and just now with my INCIPIO case silicone insert abs plastic cover it can only charge through .5cm of plastic (one slim jewel case)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] maniac2k:
What i did before i tried this was i removed the wireless assembly from the original back cover and left it intact. Putting the unit intact on the phone and then a case over it with no back at all, will allow charging through a case.

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

Forgot to add. Woke up this morning. Both phone and charger showing charging. Battery was at 15%. I may have damaged something when i removed the board.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] antzvill:
idk how ppl arent able to copy what i did. did you watch my walkthru on utube??? mine charges every night to 100% with a case on
[Galaxy S III Accessories] maniac2k:
Its all good. Im not hating! Ill be able to do some more testing today. Im thinking the pins werent seated completely which is why the phone didnt charge. I can assure you that on my verizon phone, the stock back cover definitely will not snap on 100%. Seems like the pins on the charger module are to long.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] maniac2k:
Ok see attached pic. There is a black metal like (i can attract it with a magnet) piece that is what improves the sensitivity of the charging module. Maybe yours came off with your circuit board. Mine didnt. I trimmed it down so i could fit it in my case. I cant peal it off. Im going to see if i can find something to use in its place. It must enhance the magnet.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] antzvill:
that piece right there is the small black magnet squares i talk about in my video that i chisel out for the record anyone else going forward with this mod when you go to take the circuit out of its small black door like the picture above again make sure you take ur time and really get under this black portion of magnet it needs to come out with the coil...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] maniac2k:
Yeah i borked mine. Gonna try to peel it off at some point. Thanks!

It's Official, Samsung Galaxy S3 will not be Qi

In fact it will be more then you probably imagine. Well you will feel that way once you'll be able to compare the way you would charge The Verizon's S3 (because they wanted it that way,Qi or at least they would be able to make more money for them cause of the pads they already carry) And then charge The Sprint's S3. So Much more Freedom and Cooler. I guess we could say the wait is/will be worth all that and more!!!

Alliance for Wireless Power Looks to Challenge Qi

Article Comments

Tuesday, 5:14 PM by Eric M. Zeman

The Alliance for Wireless Power is prepared to go head-to-head with the Wireless Power Consortium's Qi specification. The A4WP has spent the last six months finalizing its own specification for wireless inductive charging, and has support from Qualcomm, Samsung, and other key industry players. According to the A4WP, it is prepared to take its own specification to wireless network operators and handset makers for use in smartphones and other mobile product, such as tablets and Bluetooth headsets. A4WP representatives told Phone Scoop that it has been working with handset makers and has adjusted its specification to meet their requirements. Rather than using a pole-to-pole / point-to-point connection to achieve a charge, the A4WP lets devices be placed anywhere on an inductive pad. The pad can charge several different devices with different charging requirements at a time. The A4WP believes its spec is better than Qi, and it uses technology that's already built into many smartphones, such as Bluetooth 4.0, to minimize the hardware requirements. It says the amount of additional silicon that would need to be added to devices in only several square millimeters. The A4WP says several critical component makers are prepared to join its initiative in the coming weeks, and it believes it can convince handset makers and network operators to choose its specification over Qi in the months ahead. For a while, Verizon Wireless mandated that its smartphones have the power couplings necessary to support Qi, but its program never really got off the ground.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] alee:
Nowhere in that article snip does it say that the S3 is not going to be Qi.

Furthermore, if they're just talking about announcing a new specification, you're not going to see this technology for a while, if carriers bite at all.

Vendor support is an important first step, but you probably won't see any accessories for a year if it goes anywhere.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
posting in one thread is enough, no need to post the same thing in different threads.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sircodyatl:
What are you speaking of when you say lines? and ie Powermat?

Powermat was with WPC and know they are with A4WP, Powermat's name under members on WPC is no longer there. It is boldly on the other. Duracell bought Powermat and they are not Qi and if you will go to the couple of websites they have and read their articles/stories from them that they do not want to be controlled or have to do major design changes to make WPC happy so that is why you see them at A4WP.

Samsung and Qualcomm signed up at WPC First then later signed up with A4WP and ther are 100's of articles about what they are planning. Samsung has been working on this for 6 YEARS. They haven't withdrawn from WPC and from a smart business move on their part, they shouldn't because of etc etc etc. Energizer is Qi but they aren't that big in sales yet.

Samsung has showed the world with this Galaxy S3 in sales that they are leader material and Qualcomm is just too big to even get into. So who would be a bigger leader in convincing customers what Standard it should be? The one that everybody (meaning the number of sales) is buying because why would you buy a charger set for a phone that isn't on the top list of sales, Total units sold, and then expect the smaller company to be a standard.....Sales is what will make a Standard. And Samsung is very sure that with the money they have and Qualcomm being the manufacture of the parts you need to build their charger, Powermat already in the business, no changes needed.....and then GM, you know Chevy, Buick blah blah is teamed up with PowerMat and gave them around 5 million i think to get this in all their vehicles.....so on the Qi side ,what company with the money and all that BACKING to make their Standard Stick and force samsung and all the other BIG BoYs go that way. People it's simple.......Samsung, Biggest....highest percentage of their phones are out there...they have money....Qualcomm can make it all haqppen for a cheaper price, GM having A4WP's wireless etc etc......saying that Qi has a big chance, then you are saying that you are better in business then all THESE MultiMillion...BILLION dollar companies are and that's why we are sitting here and they are NOT...lol....Come on.....Companies don't put all that is going in this to know or not be 99% sure they can/know what they are doing...

This isn't Apple making Big Mistakes by not doing/adding something and then Make up stupid reasons they didn't want or need it While the office guy is at the Patent office getting patents for those exact things that they just said were useless....god that kills me....lol

[Galaxy S III Accessories] eatonjb:
so. back on subject, and I think this might have been mentioned.

look at this picture. http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...Galaxy-S3-I9300-4300mAh/512857_577969392.html

there is a pic of the battery, and the two leasds that go to the NFC connection.. looks like 1 is connected to the negitive ground connector, and the other one is the middle pin. why not run 2 thin wires to the 2 posts on the Verizon NFC antenna and see if that works.

I don't know anything about politaries and testing, but I think this might logically work.

Verizon wireless batter door doesn't fit flush on the T-Mobile version of S3

I picked up the Verizon charging battery door for my T-Mobile SG3. It works fine, but it doesn't fit perfectly. I had to take my dremel to some of the retaining tabs on the door and grind them down, but there is still a slight bulge. The area where it bulges out is around the pins, so I think they be longer than what the t-mobile version can accommodate.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
wait, where can I buy a I9300 for a little over 91 bucks?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bob2300nx:
With contract it was $.99 at most carriers this past black friday. Dont mean to troll but why spend $60,$70,$80,$90+ for a charging dock when the touchstone+premade battery cover (if you dont want to make one yourself) is $20 (made yourself)-$40 (pre made)?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
ah, you're referring to the US sgs3 not the i9300.

Those do come with a 2 year contract and the specs are different. but fair enough, black friday deals do count.

I think the problem with this tech is that it's really new in the US, so like all new tech, it comes at a higher price and companies like verizon can rip you off with high prices because they figured early adopters are willing to shell out more money.

the energizer qi pad works great , have two used with two tbolts and inc2 and now gs3 and inc2. they can be found at amazon for around 23.00 bucks. it has two wireless spots and a usb port. thus called three position charger.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
does the energizer qi pad make noise when it starts to charge and when the charge is full? That was my biggest worry when I was looking for the kits.

I heard the energizer qi pad makes a loud beep on charge and on finish charging so it would be a bad idea for me to have it as a bedside charger.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] KING SKILLZ:
I bought both the verizon back plate and the Nokia charging pad from a verizon store near my job for $30 each. Works well, especially like the Nokia charging pad, its smaller than the sg3 so u can drop it on the pad in any position & it charges. The pad also lays completely flat so unlike videos I've seen of the energizer pad(which seems to be made on a slant) your device won't slide off. Also the pad is silent it makes no beeping sounds when applying or removing the device. I did have to use the Tasker app to make a profile to turn off the screen after 7 seconds of placing the device on the pad, the pad turns the screen on in all instances and my screen is set to turn off after 10mins through the system settings and I only wanted it shorter for when I charged the device on the pad. The charger charges slower than my wall charger(which is my note 10.1 charger) but faster than my laptop USB. My nfc tags do not work through this case, I use the Samsung tec tiles tags so maybe other brands will. Don't care for the verizon branding on the back of the case, but wouldn't like sprint branding either, will try to alcohol it off.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] sircody:
The Verizon Wireless charge Back Cover were Manufactured by Samsung for Verizon phones only before the Galaxy S3 was Released. Verizon demanded that their phones be manufactured to be Qi (which is what their older wireless charge devices are) and that is why the Verizon Phones are the Only phones with the Extra set of contact points inside battery compartment ...

..

(extra set is to power the Antenna that built into the add-on wireless charge cover) because the NFC antenna built in the battery Wrap was tested to be blocked by the Qi Coil built in the Verizon Battery Cover when used with some, not all, wireless charger Pads.

...

They have not been manufactured since Samsung put a stop on them before the phone was released and the ones you are hearing about are just Covers that have somehow hidden from those looking for one (stuck on shelves in storage, lost in shipping etc) and just surfaced and those that have bought them knowing that can profit by holding on to them and sell at a High Price.

..

They have not been and no plans to Manufacture them, That exact style, again.

Looks like Samsung has Screwed the S3 Owners and hoping you buy their S4 which promises the same they did for the S3, to have Wireless Charging
