I believe that all of the NFC receivers are essentially the same, but rebranded. I got the one I bought for price and two-day shipping since I was without a receiver, having broken my 1st one. I think the bulge is the same on all, not a big deal unless that sort of thing bothers you. It bothers me, but I have adapted and now hardly think about it. Dremmeling/sanding the oem cover near the chip location will handle it if done carefully. I'm going to sand mine, but dealing with more important things atm.

That's true. Known issue with Vu/oem charging back/receivers. An upgraded device is being sent to me later.

I have posted some info on this it's on post 1314 and from post 1447.

I just bought the official Samsung back, but I'm wondering if there is a charger that works better than others with the back?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
From my experience - the 3-coil, cheapo, Nokia DT-900, and Vu all work well. Someone lifted my cheapo from my car...:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
Samsung charger works very well. Nokia dt-900 works awesome too. Every once in a while I sloppily place my note 3 on it and it charges erratically but that is my fault. The nokia dt-900 does not work as well with inserts because placement needs to be more precise.

sent from my sm-9005.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] referendum:
Sent back those fonesalesman receviers today... and put back the WiQiQi ones, sucks that I can't use NFC and have a bigger bulge, but at least I don't have to worry about it randomly stopping and starting charging :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
if you happen to read through the post, info has been posted about resolving the bugle.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
Sanding it down worries me a bit as the back cover is already so thin
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Amdathlonuk:
I just adapted my phone again this evening to work with the Palm Pre charging dock.

Tried the QI official wireless charger and receiver but didn't like the white slab to charge my phone.

Took 20 minutes and actually stuck the receiver to the case rather than the battery.

Not the prettiest I grant you but I don't show people under the hood. .. ;)

The connection is so strong I can hold the phone vertical while on the charger.

Excuse some of the photo quality. Taken with my Gear using my chin!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Z51:
LoL thats dope.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aalupatti:
Does that charge faster than qi?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Amdathlonuk:
Not sure yet but on early testing it looks to charge at least the same.

Will put it on charge for an hour now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aalupatti:
Can you use an app called batterysnap or galaxy charging lite and see what charging rate u r getting?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Amdathlonuk:
Okay. Battery snap installed but not entirely sure what readings you're looking for but here you go.

Very impressed the the Palm charger but I was with my Note 2 as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aalupatti:
So it's charging at 640mah/ hr. So like qi
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] EnhancerFIN:
So this is the same receiver as in this bundle I mentioned to you a while ago? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nillkin-Mag...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item233283d8a8

Good quality receiver, and quite impressing charger quality appears on the YouTube review. Think I'm going with this combo.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Amdathlonuk:
Yep it seems to.

I prefer this as it sticks to the charger instantly with the strong magnets.

No messing around trying to get it aligned.

Only $20 all in as well.

Phone doesn't get hot at all.

:)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
not the same receiver, looks the same and has the same model number (that's why the model number was covered)two different thing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] EnhancerFIN:
This one you reviewed has the ic for the s view, any differences apart that?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
yes it has the ic, even if you don't use it, you never know in the near future.

S-view cover wireless

I have been a long time lurker on this thread. Let me start by thanking you all for all of your input. You are really helping other Note 3 owners. I am posting now because I just got the wireless s-view cover and wanted to share some my thoughts with you. I bought 4 qi receiving pads and with each one there was a benefit and a sacrifice. Some broke NFC, some blocked the s-view cover and some had an unsightly bulge near the camera. I thought about getting the OEM wireless back cover, but no one makes a case for it. So my solution was the wireless s-view cover. Full functionality and some light protection without a lot of extra bulk.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] b00mbstc:
S-view cover wireless

Here are some pictures in case you are interested.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
The cover is pretty thick, not enough for you to sand through it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bnevets27:
That ridge that is getting sanded down has a corresponding grove on the phone side. You can see it goes all away around the batter compartment and SIM/SD slot. I have a feeling it to keep dust out. Now it probably isn't effective when using any on the receivers as they probably won't allow the cover to get close enough to make a "seal". None the less I have the white one on order and I'll see how it fits. Probably nothing to worry about but I'm OCD.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jojocommi:
Anyone having wireless charging message loop problems. Happens every time I use a QI receiver and a Qi wireless charging pad. It goes away when i find the sweet spot on the receiver but it takes time to find that spot.

FYI i am using a samsung Qi pad and this as a receiver:

Tried 3 diff receivers and all have the same issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] highlordkram:
My Koolpad from Amazon works great with the slim receiver in the phone, and they claim less heat for those that are worried. Try this link:

Otterbox Defender thoughts . . .

I use (and LOVE) the Otterbox Defender case, and currently the NFC functions without issue with the Defender - even with the thin metal plate I've inserted between the Defender's hard case and soft outer sleeve for use with my home-made magnetic car mounts.

. . . but, now I want to add wireless charging - both at home, work, and in the car.

I have read this entire thread, and in order to do some of my own tinkering I have ordered some bits to play with . . .

1. Both the white 'thin' generic QI receiver pad, and an NFC enabled black receiver pad.

2. A Samsung OEM wireless back plate.

3. The great deal through AT&T on 3 Nokia wireless transmitters for the home and office.

4. An ultra-thin (9mm) USB powered QI puck - for possible use in the car.

I'm already aware that the OEM Samsung charging back will not physically fit inside the Defender case as is, but with much web searching, I was able to find a video from someone who modified an OEM QI back to fit inside a Defender case - this was however, for an S3.

My first plan is to attempt to replicate this idea to some extent using the OEM QI/NFC back components. . .

So, has anyone looked to see, or attempted to disassemble the OEM back plate from the QI/NFC receiver inside? From what it looks like in all of the photos I've seen, the receiver section is simply an insert that is held on with tabs around it's perimeter. I'll get a first hand look when mine comes in the mail, and post an update to this.

If I can't make things work with the OEM back plate, my next attempt will be to go with one of the aftermarket receiver pads I've ordered, and using the thin USB powered puck and doing something similar to this to each of the car mounts I've made - changing the design as needed to work with what I've got already installed.

As noted above, I am currently using a piece of thin, 1 inch wide strapping in my Defender case, that goes with the magnetic car mounts I made up. It's super glued to the back Defender hard case, under the soft outer cover. But because it's in the center of things, and will likely interfere with the wireless charging, I'm sure I'll have to remove this thin metal insert.

My thought is to use two smaller (1/2" wide?) pieces, one above and one below the QI pad, and just appropriately re-space the hard drive magnets I've mounted with 3M tape on the two car mounts a bit wider. Spacing the magnets further apart will also allow me to mount a QI puck transmitter in the center for the charging function in the cars.

The goal is that my end result will be full wireless charging, both at home and in my cars (keeping my minimalist magnetic car mounts) while maintaining full NFC abilities - all in the confines of an Otterbox Defender case!

I will post updates to my findings as I go . . .

Cheers'

I got the same errors with the same receiver. I intend to buy a 3 coil pad from ebay. Now I use a white chinese pad from ebay a little bigger than Note 3.

I see a new brand. Anyone tried this?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
Doesn't have NFC pins so basically there's no guarantee NFC won't be blocked.

Just got my Vu in and charging right now with the generic blue receiver. Let you guys know what the charging current is. Side note didn't realize the Vu was like the Nokia 900 with the stupid 'proprietary' connector. Now that I realize that it is basically Nokia and this is the same guts I assume and just the Vu is on a stand. Though there's the 910 that has the same option. My first impression of the Vu though is that it is enormous. The amount of room it takes up is a bit more than I'd like, but... Oh well.

Update on charging rate, both batterysnap and galaxy charging lite report 640.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
It's because of the 3 coil design. The standard micro USB can't handle the voltage.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Amdathlonuk:
Modded my Palm Pre conversion with 10 amp fuse wire.

Looks a bit tidier as I can designate the path it takes.

Charges flawlessly and with very little heat around 28 degrees.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tdd2:
. . .purchased a pair of Palm Touchstone chargers and a Pre charging back plate to play with, in addition to the other things I'd posted earlier - this will be my last resort . . . but it is another option - as noted above :)

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
Though close, neither of these are COMPLETELY accurate. I have the Nokia DT900 Qi Charger and a couple of different Qi Receivers, and here's what I've found in my 2-3 months of use :

I do agree that a majority of the Receivers on the market are probably identical inside with just a different label/cover on the outside, but they are not ALL the same.

Most do look VERY similar, so I purposely purchased two that look totally different. I wanted to see how they differed in function and quality. My Qi receivers are not the same thickness, nor do they have the same size area of charge. My thinnest Receiver doesn't cause the bulge under the camera (what MANY people have mentioned in this thread) which leaves a gap allowing dust/debris to get under the battery door, while my thicker Receiver does. My thinnest Receiver also has a smaller charge area than my thicker one.

The thicker Receiver doesn't leave a bulge on the official Samsung S-View Cover, so I only use that Receiver with that battery door.

My thinnest Receiver has a smaller charge area, so I do have to be more precise when placing it on my Nokia DT900. My thicker Receiver has a larger charge area, which allows me to place my phone anywhere on the DT900. It successfully initiates a charge every single time it's placed on the charger, no matter where it's placed down. This is VERY helpful at night when the lights are off! My DT900 stays on my nightstand, so I'll often place my phone on the Qi Charger overnight. Being able to do so without paying attention to placement, while I'm already lying in bed, is great! I never have to worry about waking up to find that my phone isn't charged to 100%!!

SwiftKey'ed from my White Sprint Note 3 via XDA Premium
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
Didn't think of that, but after you mentioned I looked into it and it doesn't make sense, the adapter that came in the box is rated for .75A which is the same as older chargers rated at 750mah. The charger for the note 2/3 is 2A which used a standard micro usb.

In addition, no cycling issues with my receiver and the Vu.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Paulita1:
I think as wireless charging is a very convenient devices.

Let us know what options have here and compare.

After checking the thread about a cheap solution for Wireless charging, I found the post of [MENTION=4232157]BlueChris[/MENTION] about the greek e-shop's mistake and I just bought the original wireless S view cover just to be on the safe side. So, because I already paid 40euros for the cover, I am now looking for a Qi compatible charger and I would like for someone to suggest a cheap one to buy that won't have any issues with the wireless S view cover I bought. Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
if you want to be on the safe side, just like you purchased the official wireless cover, you might as well get the samsung's official transmitter, just like the rest of the reciever majority of the base are all made and from china.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
That's my take as well if you already shelled out $40 for the OEM back you might as well get the OEM pad. Besides if qi is to be the new wireless charging standard the pad will work for your future devices, unless you get an iPhone. ; )

Hmm so I have some good news, the Pthink ones don't seem to be cycling. I just got them an hour ago so it might be too early to tell, but I'll keep you guys updated, but so far so good! Also NFC works and it's just as thin as the fonesalesman one!

Case fitting the note 3 with the OEM charging cover

I purchased the Diztronic glossy clear case purchased on Amazon for under $10. I was using it for a few weeks until I decided after reading various reviews of the NFC receivers, and lots of them saying things like 'what was shipped was not what was shown in the photos', 'I bought one and liked it, so I bought a second and they sent something different'... This all mixed in my head with the discussions about some having different charging rates, some being bulky, some having short lives, and some interfering with the use of NFC tags (Which I want to use). I felt like I couldn't be sure that what I ordered would be certain to be what I received and I was not wanting to experiment with something that had the potential to fry my $700 phone trying to save $15 or $20. I ended up finding an ebay deal on an OEM charging cover for $35 shipped. I decided that it was worth the risk, and I couldn't be happier. The Diztronic case fit more snugly than with the original battery cover, but it still fits just fine. Their cases work well, and protect the phone well based on 2 years of experience using them on my previous Motorola Photon. Good grip, in spite of the glossy finish. I do not care for the matte finish version. It is a little slippery compared to the gloss. Good luck on finding the right combination that works for you. :)

Wireless charging / NFC in an Otterbox - continued...

Ok...I got the OEM Samsung wireless / NFC back in the mail today, and after some mucking around I found that it can be separated ;)

I have done some fiddling around with it, and here are my results so far... here's what the inside of the Samsung charging back looks like, what I did to make it a bit slimmer (really not needed, but I'm having fun playing around with it), and what it looks like inside the Otterbox back.

Everything fits great (using the Otterbox back only in place of the snap on phone back) , it holds the charging/NFC card in place, and protects the back of the phone/battery compartment and card. Everything fits together well, albeit a bit snuggly - even with my Iloome glass screen protector!

More later after I get home from work....

Cheers'

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Sardonik:
I picked up the Techmatte receiver and dt-900 charger this week. Everything went together dine and I'm charging at 640mah.

My concern is the amount of heat the receiver seems to be generating. Androsensor shows a phone temp of 85 and a battery temp of 96 while charging. That's up from 64 and 70 during USB charging.

I'm guessing some warmth is normal, but this seems excessive. Seems like constantly exposing my N3 to that sort of temp variation would shorten it's life.

I've discontinued wireless charging while I look into the temp thing. Just thought I'd see if others who have installed a 3rd party receiver into their Notes have seen similar temps.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] KOKJ:
I have an identical setup but I do not have any excessive heat problems. I downloaded Androsensor and will test it out this evening and will let you know what I see.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
No heat here at all with whatever combination I do with originals or 3nd party receivers and dt-900 or some 3nd party pads. When you was charging the phone was sleeping?

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Sardonik:
Well, the screen was off. I'm sure it was still active (syncing etc), but it wasn't being actively used.

I have noted that the baseline USB charging temps from my previous post are actually temps after the phone was done charging and had been sitting in a 70 degree room overnight. As I type this, my battery temp is just over 89 degrees without charging.

So maybe 97 degrees isn't so bad after all. It might just be that it's far enough above my skin temp to make me think it's overly warm.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Phurious:
I went with the Docooler Qi Standard Wireless Charging Receiver Coil and RAVPower Wireless Charger Charging Pad. I received both today and can confirm wireless charging works on my SM-N900A even in its Otterbox Defender case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerys71:
one idea I thought of was a small usb fan like a cpu cooler type fan. then put small rubber feet on the charger so the phone is actually sitting a couple mm above the surface of the charging pad (depending on your case there is some wiggle room) then install the fan on the bottom of the charging pad and put some holes through it. to keep things cool.

so far it has not gotten warm enough to concern me. we shall see how warm it gets in the summer time.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
Doh man you speak for Fahrenheit :) well your temps are totally fine m8,its logical some heat to raise cause of qi

I contacted Techmatte last night regarding the disconnect between the product they now sell and both the Amazon reviews and instructions shipped with the product.

They've offered to send me the older 3 pin version of the receiver along with a prepaid return envelope. I was invited to then test out the 3 pin version and return either it, or the 2 pin version. My choice.

That's some great customer service right there.

PThink Receiver cycling

Hi all,

I got the PThink Ultra-thin 0.5mm (NFC) receiver from amazon. It seemed like everyone was finding that it doesn't cycle the wireless charging on and off, however with the Nokia DT-900 and the Anker 6000mAh High-Capacity Qi-Enabled pad, it cycles. It is really annoying. Am I missing something or is it defective or does it not work with these type of pad. Any input would be appreciated. I guess I will try and contact the seller as well.

TIA

I think you misunderstand me. The third pin obviously activates the s-view functionality. I'm speculating that it doesn't actually handle the flap detection.

A post in another thread just all but confirmed that the pin pack has something to do with flap detection (magnet sensor in the pack and magnet in the flap?). So, I will continue this discussion on that thread and stop hijacking the wireless charging thread.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:

I don't mean to be rude, but it's not clear to me that you made the modification to the Note 2 receiver. The contacts in the phone are backwards from the Note 2 contacts.

Easiest solution is to just get a receiver made for the note 3 is my suggestion. Under $10 on eBay.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
Sorry if this has been answered but....

I'm thinking of buying one of those qi pads you put on the connectors n stick to the battery cover. Does the qi pads charge slower than the official Samsung wireless charging battery covers or is it the same thing basically?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
It might be a little slower, but if you are like most of us who charges the phone battery at night while going to bed, you will be good. I also have ordered two spare charging pads from ebay for 15 bucks to place to two different locations where i spend most of my time.. so that i can put the phone beside me on the pad which in turn keeps the phone charged at all times.
