Nokia DT-910

Just got my Nokia DT-910. Moved the coil inside as far as I could to the top and extended the wires, Being an electronics engineer I had all the tools to do a proper job!

Charges my note 3 now no problem. and seems not to take any longer charging than with the USB cable. units only get slightly warm too!

I am using the Fonesalesman reciever with NFC support and Speigen Slim Armour by the way.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Pics of the mod would be awesome!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] chris.k:
Sorry! All snapped back together and glued. but its not that difficult to do. the only hard part is trimming the plastic internal humps and bumps. and cutting the top of the plastic coil holder so it can be double sided to the top part of the housing then extending 5 wires to the main PCB. You dont have to glue it really, as it all snaps back together.

Too bad, but thanks for the information.

Hi,

I had the Qi wireless charger for my note 2 and when I ordered my note 3 bought this for the phone and it works great.

Regards,

Enrique
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Addictedtothegreenguy:
I'm buying a note 3 today so to be clear the Note 3 doesn't support wireless charging natively ( I'm buying from verizon)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Empel1960:
Hi,

Yes it's supported but you need the adapter to fit inside the cover.

Regards
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Gully Foyle:
Apologies, no NFC as you say.

While I have found the odd one that looks similar, the contacts are not shown as going through, like this one

I'll keep searching but would appreciate if you have any links to share.

Is there any way to disable the screen from turning on when placed on a wireless charger? I checked in Wanam and it seems I can turn off the wireless charging dialogue, which I've done and I've disabled "Turn on when unplugged".
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
I do t think wireless charge dialog turns off. Using usb dialogue and the no notification works.

Wireless dialog with wanam turns off for me but screen lights up in start of charging
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Best I have come up with is an app/widget to do the job. Only issue is if it is set too dark and you can't see enough to answer calls, etc. Not a real cure.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor&hl=en

I put a transparent widget that I can hit when ever the screen is annoying. I think it's set to 10 but it's sometimes too dark for getting calls, etc. It comes pre-set with a 48% to start with.

Switching Batteries

I tend to swap batteries a lot, especially when I'm out and about for an entire day. If I install a Qi receiver, am I basically making it a PIA to swap batteries on the fly? Or does the battery with the receiver stuck to it just pull out like a normal battery so I can pop in a fresh battery?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
stick the receiver onto the battery cover, all you need is a little double sided tape at 2 of the 4 corners.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bnevets27:
I've been reading this thread trying to find out which receiver to buy and which charging pad to buy. So far I have the receiver with the NFC chip coming. But it looks like the white one doesn't effect the back cover as much/its thinner, I'll find out how mine fits when it gets here.

All these charging pads that have my head spinning but from recent posts it looks like these two are good low cost options.

#1 (powerqi)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qi-Mini-Wir...ories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item1e82073f67

#2 (Metrans)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Metrans-Qi-...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item41765e1b96

Reason these seem like a good buy:

#1

#2

I had thought I read it had a good chip or something but can't find any evidence of that so I probably got confused. Though there is a thread about that model here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2360202

Other thoughts. The DT-900 sounds to be having a few issues and there is no AT&T deal here so ebay is the only option and they aren't that cheap compared to that deal. The tylt sounds to be also having some issues, its pricy and personally not really interested in having my phone on an angle. I plan on cutting a hole in my side table and mounting it underneath which is another reason the tylt wouldn't work for me.

So is #1 the best charging pad for the lower end price range?

On another note, has anyone seen a charger that can do 40mm distance? Re:http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/20/wpc-updates-qi-standard-increasing-inductive-charging-distance/

Has anyone tried a DIY route? http://dx.com/p/gk5a-wireless-charg...or-qi-standard-cellphone-tablet-pc-psp-233829

I know it sold out but if you were going to build it into a table or make say your own tilt stand.....

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
Yes the TX-5600 arrived about a week ago. It took ascot 3 weeks to get here from China.

I've been meaning to post my thoughts, but have been tired up with the holiday thing.

First I'll say it not as big as I thought I would be. It worked fine as QI charger and my phone shows it charges at 640 mAh, just like the Nokia and Tylt.

As expected it is not really 10,000mAh. It charged my Note 3 from 1% to 96% in 1h 57m the 2.1amp USB port. It then stopped charging at 97% FOR SOME reason. It then charged my Note 2 from 8% to 52% in 1 hour before running out of juice. Basically you get 1.5 charges out of the unit.

So I got about 4685mAh out of it. Assuming the average efficiency rate about 70% I calculate the actual capacity to be between 6600mAh to 7000mAh. Still not bad for the $37 I paid for the device considering it both a QI charger and a 6600 - 7000mAh mobile battery charger with two USB charging ports. I was expecting it to be about 7000mAH or so.

I have found out useful. I've charged my phone and tablet with it while away from an outlet a few times. I even used it to charge my Pebble Smartwatch once when it died on me.

I wonder how the W10000 performs. Though it is considerably more money and much thicker.

Maybe I'll perform another charging test now that it has been used a few times. Also I should see how far it goes when using both USB ports to charge.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
same question, did you get your qi power pack:fingers-crossed:

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 AM ----------

As I stated the battery is about 8000mAh, 70% efficiency, then you also lose power because it's a power pack.

anyway thanks for the info.

The w10000 is much thicker and cost more, but the quality is much better.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
Yes, but for what I paid I'm satisfied and the compactness does make it convenient for travel. The W1000 interest me, but for now I can't spend the money.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Never mind. I have decided I am Tasker illiterate. No matter which one I try they never work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bnevets27:

This thread has a lot or great info but its buried. Would be nice it someone in the know opened a thread (maybe in the general section of the forum) that talks about charging pads. That way the the OP can update the first post with all the info that has been gathered within the thread.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Ah....

Just purchased 2 new toy, should get them in 2-5 days.

The best thing I like about it, it's made by sanyo.

Multi coil for auto detection with light indication on positioning.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUAkg9Y8xvU

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWUyluvOY8s

single coils with light indication for charging strength.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jevlBMnWvBE

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

The first one is by powerqi which has excellent component, especially the coil.

second link is by metrans which is a very famous well known brand, i couldn't open the unit, but I have their chargers mwt 02, mwt 03 and the w5000, from the internal view of the mwt 2 and w5000 as I have opened them, so I guess the component used are very similar in the mwt 03, the powerqi has a better coil, but the metrans has a better chipset.

you take your pick.

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

Hopefully that person will come out to give more details.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:

Nope toenail_flicker is right you are that person and who I was referring to as the person in the know as well as toenail_flicker himself. There has been a good amount of people with good info in this thread, its just hard to find and piece together.

Thanks kms108

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------

I assume larger coil = farther distance from the receiver and it will still charge? ie, thick case, thin layer of wood. And easier to place the phone to start it charging.

And I assume better chipset = smarter charging and therefore maybe a little nicer to the battery...?

I'm probably going to go with the powerqi and build it into a night table and maybe the metrans down the road and use it in the living room (if it can go through a glass table)

2 weeks later and I finally feel I can hit buy it now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Took me a while to get my rig together. I like your idea of charging through a glass table. Not ready to mod a nightstand yet but stellar direction. I now have my eye on a similar qi that ships to the US. Boxing is the same.

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

See... ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
A larger coil will not neccessary give you the advantages of what you have mention, but a better coil will give you a better connection, less energy loss, better compatibilty between different receiver, as not all receivers are made equally.

In theory it does allow further distances between transmitter and receiver, but that if nothing is put in between them, different material have different density which does reduce the induction energy power, even thou wpc did alter it's spec to support a wider distance between transmitter and receiver upto 40mm, actual distance will vary due to manufacturer and material used.

If you want a better connection, consider choosing a copper coil receiver which will be slightly thicker than the ultra thin ones, thickness about 0.1-0.2mm thicker.

There is one of the xposed framework apps that does that. Ley me get back to you on this. I don't use it cos I prefer that one time pop up which tells me that the phone is charging. .. Can happen many times that the connection is loose or of the plug or you haven't placed the phone correctly. Atleast this pop up confirms that the phone is charging and you can sleep in peace

I just ordered the Tylt Vu and a 4.2A car charger (2x2.1A).

Only $52.49 with free USPS shipping.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Yeah. Soooo doesn't work for me. Videos don't work for me for this. Even written instructions don't seem to be doing it. I spent two hours yesterday trying different things and none of them worked for me. For now I'm letting it be - a peaceful truce.

Did you loose your way looking at a different UI on the video and your phone? i guess lot of people dont mention to switch your UI to expert mode from beginners mode, i guess thats the reason you could not pick up the jist. Look for that option in settings. Plus i guess the new UI has changed a bit.. but once u change the UI to expert mode, you should be able to do everything.. just join the dots.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
It's fine up to 95% then above there I (and a few others here) have experienced cycling issues where it loses connection and reconnects over and over again which can be rather annoying. I contacted tylt and they said they were sending me a replacement so the issue may have been fixed, but I won't know til I receive it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Thanks! I didn't know about that. I hope that makes it easier. Must've missed it when I looked at the preferences.

These days i am playing with setting up various tasks with voice commands.. and other tasker related add-ons as such that works with tasker.

Guys you can try the Automateit, it's damn easier than tasker and can do what you want.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
I have it too, but stopped using it because from my experience it was more buggy, less reliable, and not as capable. But it is a lot easier to use than tasker which has a steeper learning curve

45 degrees

Anybody know enough about the Tylt Vu to understand why they chose a 45 degree angle? I had trouble ordering using their 50% code yesterday, so I'm waiting for them to respond to those of us they promised to honor...in the meantime, I'm leery of the issues described in this thread, but I'm also wondering if I'll be happy with 45 degrees. That doesn't seem to be "upright" enough for me.

Any thoughts or experiences with that? I'm hoping to use it as my bedside charger/alarm clock stand. Hopefully I don't need to get all kludgy and prop up the backside of it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
there is another charger on ebay that allows you adjust the angle for you to position your phone.

i've seen the actual thing, was told the quality is rather good, but let down by the design, also the price offered is over prices from what I can get them for, seem like all these so call brands just buy them in buks and have there logo put on the product and call it their design.

Jumble Charger

I agree that the Jumbl looks odd. It's what I see when I look at a 1980's video game console. :) Anyway, I've not had any luck with those non-slip pads, since mine seem to dust up pretty quickly (guess I'm a dusty guy).

I like the way the Tylt looks, so I'm going to give it a shot. But it's my first experiment with wireless charging, and I'll probably be quick to send it back if the angle is awkward or if I have any of the seemingly many problems folks have described in the 2,674 pages of this thread.

Couple thoughts:

1) Everything folks above said about kms108 is true. You are unholy.
