Does it matter if you're running a custom ROM? Something that I may overlooked. I've been a happy AOKP user for months now. Am I limited to Touchwiz based ROMs?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
roms should not matter. the charging ability is built into atleast ics.

EDIT:

the video on my first post was also the ics build Omega v13.4.

actually, i know for a fact that wireless charging compatibility is built into atleast ics. I have the hp touchpad and the guys who got the touchstone for their touchpad using cm9 use it to wirelessly charge their tablet all the time.

There is a problem with the freight forwarder companies, most of the companies choose there own shipping company, as they probably have account with them, or choose a reliable company like dhl.

You can suggest your alternative, but there is a minumum chances for them to select your choosen one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] axel06:
With the exception of 1 company, the other 6 all had the sets delivered to our forwarder in Shenzhen and the items were then shipped to us here in the USA for $17. Sure, some inflate the shipping costs to make an extra buck, but the more reliable ones don't...If you PM me, I will send you the forwarders details for you to contact.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aeron16:
I can confirm this. No issues on the various custom or stock roms I have used.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] macgyver2k2:
What's the charging behavior with custom roms?

Is there the same wireless charging message and screen activation as in the stock rom or does the screen stay off?

I'm using the Zens charger & backcover, and depending on how the phone is positioned on the charger i get a lot of these chargin messages in the night.

Does anyone else have the Zens Backcover? Mine is about 3 weeks old, and it barely fits on the phone.

Since a week or so two egdes of the cover have small cracks and won't fit anymore (with aweful creaking when pushing on the edge).

Anyone else having the same problems?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
the behavior should be the same on all roms. it'll say that wireless charging is detected. that's about it.

for the most part, these wireless chargers don't do trickle charging.. so it'll just keep charging till it's full then stop... then recharge again when it goes below a certain threshold.

EDIT: can't say much for the zens since I don't have it but someone here might..

Hey guys, just wanted to add that yijieneng wants the PayPal payment to be a personal payment. Which may be alright with some of you, but I for one want my purchase to be considered so. You don't get any purchase protection with personal, and imo it isn't worth risking $70, even if some of you have already received yours. Idk, just a heads up :p
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xamindar:
Yeah that is shady. They are probably trying to save on the PayPal fee.

Quick update for order from Yijieneng.

They've dispatched package on Monday - 17.12.2012, Yijieneng sent me a copy of shipping documents, but china DHL seems to be unreliable and slow as china post. Using their express service (3-5 business days) the package should be on it's way here but dhl tracking says:

And thats all ... either dhl tracking is not working, or their understanding of meaning of "express" differs from mine.

So long with my hopes to receive it before christmas.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nlanter95:
yeah it is pretty shady, but I emailed him back and he said I can do it via purchase if I pay the handling fee. Which overall equates to $69.90. Still determinig if wireless charging is worth it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
I just received it, charging the powerbank at the moment, will comment on it later.

All I can say is dont buy it, the unit is a true 5000mAh, but the battery is cheap, the coil inside the powerbank is not a proper qi coil, but a nornal transformer coil, the magnet is weak, so i'm going to mod it to see if i can get it to work better, oh and the s3 back cover was DOA.

couldn't be bothered to send it back, just call it a USD 35 loss.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RaymondPJR:
Well, that's strike two!!! How did you get them to send it without shipping charges? What exactly was wrong with the cover, (I know that's not the part you are interested in)? And do you think the cheap battery will fail sooner than a better model?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
Updated my post with kms108's review to avoid the powerbank kit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] redslumber:
How long did it take for them to send you the shipping information? I sent payment 3 days ago through paypal and I'm still waiting :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] IamIrene:
can I know where can buy the wireless charging kit ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
My shipping was about USD 3-4 and it was a 2 day delivery to my work place shipping by land using courier service.

The battery cover was dead on arrival, would not function, and the two contact is slightly big, you need to force it into the hole. Unlike the receiver pad and transmitter the magnet was like 30X40mm in size for my present set, for this unit, both receiver and transmitter the magnet is like 5X5mm, you can only manage to feel the two magnet to connect.

The advantage of this unit is that you can use it as a normal powerbank and is rather light.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] grubia:
Took them 5 days to dispatch the item. They've told me that at the moment they do not have EU standart power adapter and that is the reason for the delay.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
sometime it's out of their hands, the delay is more related to the postal service and whether the package makes it on a early flight.

countries in the EU will take longer for stuff from china and hong kong, the customs will hold the stuff for a while.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] grubia:
That's true, but it is not excuse for dhl's absence of adequate tracking information.

5 days later it is "Shipment information received	HONG KONG - HONG KONG" and no other info...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
anything shipped from china is notoriously slow. it took them 3 weeks to arrive when I bought a case from china and it spent 1.5 weeks being "prepared" and something like 2 or 3 days shipped, and 1 day in the US main post office in LA before it arrived..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
you are true about dhl, it shouldn't take that long.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hockeyrcks9901:
For those that have had success with Yijieneng. What exactly did you order? It looks like there is half a dozen or so options for the coil.

I have two S3s and I'm thinking I'll need a Q300 charger: http://www.yijieneng.com/en/Product_detail.asp?productid=756&classid=138

And two of these: http://www.yijieneng.com/en/Product_detail.asp?productid=753&classid=138

I've sent an e-mail to them as well but I want to make sure it's right.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
I have the single and the double base, including a panasonic base, all works well, i have a few other charging base i'm still waiting to receive from other manufacturer, just to try out and see what is better.

just got some new info on two new charger base by a company called speed, in hong kong they are selling pretty well, just waiting for the shop to stock them before a make another purchase.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] brehon1104:
thanks for testing everything for us. :) I'll be waiting for your reviews.

Also... I really thought Qi was the standard because they are being released in phones... But actually there's still not a standard and multiple alliances are competing. Correct?

edit: Qi is becoming standard I think. Toyota is putting out a car with the Qi standard in it. And phones are rolling out with it. That's how **** gets established right?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
the wireless standards are at the same point in time as when blurays and hd dvds were fighting for dominance.

Anyone using the official verizon galaxy s3 qi charging cover? anyone else experiencing trouble using NFC through the cover?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] krash183:
the one thing i like about these chinese knockoff QI receiver pads is that it fits under the stock battery cover... others have to have the back cover replaced AND the replacement cover is usually thickers or bulkier.

Thinking about saying screw it and go for a palm charger
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
either method will work fine. It's just up to you on which charger you want to use. they also do not obstruct nfc so yeah, you'll be all set either way you go and still be able to use your stock battery cover
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mionky:
I use the Verizon Qi charging back with the energizer dock. It charges fine, although the screen constantly goes on and off when the charging is complete. As far as NFC, I cannot comment as I have yet to use that function.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
Using the verizon S3 model with the verizon cover shouldn't have any problems.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] TypoCorrecto:
Is the Verizon branded Qi battery cover no longer sold? Where can I find it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] redslumber:
Just received my package from Yijieneng today. DHL charged me an extra $17.70 at the door :(. The kit comes with the charging pad and coil wire receiver. The AC adapter has a euro plug on it so I needed to buy a North American adapter from the dollar store.

With the phone on and connected, the charging pad doesn't seem strong enough to add any life to the phone. Over the past 30 minutes, I've only seen the battery life go down while on the pad, connected, and charging.

Overall, very disappointed with the kit.

*Does anyone know of a stronger charging pad out there compatible with Qi? One that is actually able to charge the phone while it is on!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
are you sure it's charging? It charges for me as fast as about USB or faster speed...

make sure the contacts are in the phone and also listen for the beep when it connects.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] redslumber:
Yes, I lined up the contacts on top of the battery and the charging pad light flashes blue when the phone connects. The phone itself even believes that it's charging, but for some reason the battery level keeps going down instead of up. I have no idea why that is. Is there something I'm not doing?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
i don't know...

I line it up so the contacts fall into the slots, put the battery cover over it, then just place it. I hear a beep, blue light, and it charges...

i'm curious as to what's causing it to not charge properly.. do you have a thick case on? or just simply a battery cover?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] redslumber:
I'd like to know as well. Any help would be useful, as I'm assuming that we have the same kits. I'll take a few snap shots of my current set up and post them.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
hm.. that's a new kit.. my receiver pad is different and the case you have is really thin (it's the rock sand case right?)

that's super weird....

i'm not sure what's causing the issue... but I would raise it with them. I can't imagine that it's not receiving enough power...

just out of sheer curiosity.. can you try it without the case on it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] redslumber:
Same thing happens with the case off.

It's actually the Spigen SGP case. They make really great stuff

http://www.spigen.com/
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
I was looking at spigen for my case as well, but i wanted something that covered the buttons as well.

does your receiver not cause a slight "doming" effect on the battery cover? the one i have does that and make it hard for me to get anything that's a hybrid case.

EDIT: I don't know why it's not charging properly... I can only see 2 potential problems here:

1) the reciever and transmitter are not lining up properly and you're at the "edge" of the range

2) either the transmitter or receiver is defective and is not sending/receiving the magnetic fields efficiently as it is supposed to.

Ok, Here the screenshot from low battery (21%) to full and charged by Nokia wireless charger plate DT-900. I am using Yijieneng pad inside the battery cover as in case if you wanted know.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] redslumber:
That seems like a great pad. I'll definitely have to take a look at it if things don't work out with Yijieneng.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
I think you should be able to continue using the receiver pad but ask for a refund on the transmitter...

on the other hand, you might also be able to drop by an AT&T store then test out the nokia charging pad for 5 minutes to see if you're actually gaining battery.. if so, then it's the yijieneng transmitter having issues.

Hi

Can you give a more detailed description on your case.

I have been with this product for sometime and i've seen many case related to this product.

All I can say is there really shouldn't be a problem with the receiver, it either works or don't work.

Now looking at the photo's you have posted, i see you have the second version of the oringinal charging base.

The first version of has a single beep when the receiver is connected, and the led is positioned on the righthand side bottom corner, whiles the second version has a double beep and led indicator is on the left.

The first version has better quality

Apparently the second version do have a manufacturing problem, the pcb is newly redesigned and has it's flawed, for the base to detect the receiver, it needs to be very accurate, otherwise it will connect and disconnect continously, for the S3 it's slightly better than the note 2.

Also the second version has problems working with the nexus 4 and the nokia's

This problem relates to yijieneng and other similar products, there are about six companies that sells the same products, they are just OEM.

If you are after other products, there are many available, listed below are a few of the official certified QI brands that I have come across.

energizer

nokia

powerqi

speed

scientific oregon

zen

maxell

sanwa

philips

LG

panasonic

powerkiss

I highly recommend speed, you can find all the info at www.speed-charger.com

this product has been selling quite well in hong kong, prices are very reasonable.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] RaymondPJR:
Not complaining, it's just that this mod has been so confusing and difficult to research. Plus dealing with overseas shippers from China has been a headache. And don't get me started on the crooks on Ebay. I find it more than a little strange that these product are so difficult to come by. There are more desirable options in that list you provided and I thank you for that. I looked over each one, and the LG was the one to go with only it seems to not be available anywhere anymore. If I can go two miles and pick up something for 47 bucks without any hassles that's what I'm going to do. I just hope the coil I plan to take out of the Droid X back can be modded.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] macgyver2k2:
Just bought a Yijieneng receiver pad on ebay (at least it looks like one according post #158) after my

Zens Cover got two new cracks in one corner and barely holds on the phone anymore.

It is listed for $37.49 there, but the seller accepts $30 including shipping (he did not accept $29,51).

Just out of curiosity, how much is it when you buy it directly from Yijieneng?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] alex0412:
Hi,

Yesterday i bought a QI-pad and receiver bundle from the HK-based shop www_fasttech_com.

It is listed for a bit more than 50 dollars shipped.

The budle looks like the yijeng kit.

Fasttech also sells just the receiver pad for less than 18 bucks.

When the bundle arrives, I will report back
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
I just checked ebay and it does seem similar but I have no idea if it's the same manufacturer. it seems to ship from hk though which would mean it's not from Yijieneng unless they somehow have a retailer in hk.

would you mind reviewing it once you get it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RaymondPJR:
You rock!!! It looks legitimate, with no hidden costs! I see they also sell a kit for the Note 2. My friend who has this phone has been in a debate with me over wireless charging. When we open the back of his phablate, we cannot see the contacts for the coil. Don't know what's going on there. I haven't found the receiver coil by itself yet on this site, but I believe you. Wish I had heard of this site before I ordered that Droid X case with the Qi coil. Oh, well.

EDIT: Yep, for those who just need the coil, they have it for under 18.00 free shipping worldwide. I may just order this even though I have that case coming.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tasteslikechicken:
I have searched to no avail. Will a Qi charging solution still work if the phone is running an AOSP ROM like Cyanogenmod? Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

I have a question to those who bought their phone from Walmart wireless. I am thinking about starting a new line on my existing family plan (Verizon) in order to purchase the phone at discounted price and after activation, put that phone under my current existing line with unlimited data and use dummy phone for new line and cancel data plan.

Now Im aware that they state on their website that you are not allowed to change or modify your plan within first 180 days or else they will charge ETF.

I want to hear some feedback from people who tried this and if it worked out for them or not. I know that for Amazon wireless, even though they have same rule of 180 days, people were able to swap phone and cancel data right away and never got charged for ETF.

Thanks. :good:
[General Questions and Answers] hungry81:
Hmmm that's quite a pickle. My advice is read the contract AND ASSUME THAT'S WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF YOU SIGN. "SOME GUY ON A FORUM SAID THAT HE DID NOT GET CHARGED" IS NOT A DEFENCE FOR BREACHING SAID CONTRACT!!!112 WHAT HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ELSE HAS NO BEARING ON WHAT THEY CHOOSE TO DO WITH YOU1!!1

A CONTRACT IS NOT THERE SO THEY CAN SIMPLY GET YOUR AUTOGRAPH.

If they don't follow it up YOU'RE LUCKY. That's it.
