I have been trolling other sections of the forum, finding intresting stuff for the Note 3.. did not see your message earlier. Just installed the LMT Launcher on the Note 3 and it works fantastic along with Buzz Launcher (thats what i use), the pie shortcuts are awesome.

The two ebay sellers were..

From the US

http://www.ebay.com/itm/190938380971?var=490200995773

From China

http://www.ebay.com/itm/370860901325?var=640134887628

I probably think think it was the US seller who sent me the thinner QI insert. I had sent him a message and he replied that all his inserts are alike and its thin enough and he hasnt received any returns or complains yet. I guess we can give him a chance.. if ya'll want i can re-order another one from the US seller.. i dont mind, as long as it helps the community here. I got to learn a lot of stuff from this forum (on other sections), so far loving the Viper4Android kernel and the LMT (u gotta root for this, i did and it opened up an entire legion of possibilities i am doing with automation and tasker related apps.

On a side note its not hard to sell the Qi insert back on ebay for a dollar or two less than the original cost. These sell like hot cakes, specially if its a US seller. So if someone wants to buy from both the sellers and see which is thinner and sell the thicker one back on ebay they can easily sell it off.

Thats the right stuff bro.. mine's the same.. i removed one of the insulation from the top and left the bottom one.. to make it even more thinner.. no heat, no nfc interference, no bulge.

I posted the US ebay sellers info above.

I just posted the link.. got caught up with the Note 3 goodies.

---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------

Yea, i did try to cut off the sides, that was on the thicker QI insert, and it do little, i mean it did improve the nfc somewhat.. but still ain't perfect NFC reception, but the very next day i received the thinner QI insert and i replaced it with the thinner one, was so mad with the thicker one.. i literally threw it in the garbage bin.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
The US seller one probably isn't 1000ma though, given that it shows 500ma for the note 2 version

Given that the N3 can charge at 650ma~ you should probably grab one that's 1000ma

on another note, the OEM Samsung replacement doors seem to be the most expensive. There are plenty of ugly T-Mobile ones but only a few Samsung ones (with the silver lettering and no 'Galaxy Note 3' lettering on the bottom)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Thanks for reposting this info and confirming my correction. I've seen too many posts at this point and I'm mixing them. Sorry.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
The US seller is 1000mAH for sure. Cos that was the first thing I checked after opening the packet.

I think the mystery in growing. I will order one qi insert more from the US seller today who I think sent me the thin insert, and post back with confirmation if it's the thin insert. Worst I can keep a spare thin insert. For the spare OEM battery I ordered from Samsung store. As i have used a two sided ultra thin sticky tape to stick the qi insert to the battery, I can buy one more qi insert and use it on the spare battery when needed.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
Just finished cutting grass.

To answer a few questions, I did NOT cut, trim, peel, anything from my receiver. I installed it on my phone just like it was shipped to me. Like I said, there is honestly almost zero bulge, so I didn't feel a need to attempt making it any thinner. "If it's not broke then don't fix it", type of thinking.

Also, don't worry about buying a receiver from an overseas seller just because it says 1000mah! The one I bought says 500mah, but actually charges at 640mah per the Galaxy Charging Current app. Someone already said that it will only charge at 640mah even if it says 1000mah on it. No need to wait longer for delivery when they all charge at 640mah, no matter what is printed on them.

Ok guys as i said i wasnt aware of which seller sent me the thinner insert, although i do feel that that the US seller did after receiving an reply from him.. but for further confirmation, i placed an order with this guy for an additional qi insert.. just to confirm if he did sent the thinner one and update you guys.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/190938380971?var=490200995773

I believe the insert should be in by wednesday or thursday.. watch out for this space i will update back if he is the one who sells the thinner insert for the note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
there are many of them with the flexi coil for the n3, it's just that they are not all available on ebay.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
Yup, that's who I bought mine from. Excellent seller and I'm very happy with the receiver from them! I confirmed that there is little to no bulge, it charges at 640mah (just like the ones with 1000mah printed on them, even though this one only has 500mah on it), and NFC works perfectly as well. Excellent choice for anyone wanting a Qi receiver.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
I think I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion. Not sure if this was mentioned earlier, read like 10 pages but this is a very long thread, but is there a affordable charger pad that you would recommend? (preferably on Amazon) New to the wireless charge scene but I heard there are some incompatibilities.

Also, if I stuck a NFC tag on the charger pad (for my bedtime settings) would there be any interference?

My preference for an affordable QI charger is the Nokia DT-900 for $24.50 from AT&T. If you buy 2 you get something like a12% discount 3 or more it 25%.

All QI charger should be compatible as the use the QI standard. The Nokia DT-900 is incompatible with some Nexus 4 (earlier versions I think) because the Nexus 4 didn't implement the standard properly. Aside from that all QI charger should work with all QI phones.

As for the NFC, I would assume it would work. Personally I would put the tag towers the top or bottom of the charger, so I could tap out then place the phone on the center for charging.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] yoedba:
Does this one not add any bulk? Closes with regular back no buldge etc..?

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
In all the pics I see the pad, the cord, but not the plug. Is the plug USB?

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
It is not a USB/microUSB cable.

But it brings it's own charger, unlike some of the other charging pads. Once I plug it into it's location I have no intention of moving it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
That's my only gripe with the dt900's. The semi proprietary charging. Nokia needs to bring a model that uses micro USB. I plan on getting one or two more but I would like to find one that is just as small but uses micro USB so I dont have to lug another charger around for the portability.

sent from my sm-9005.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Thanks. This was my point in asking. I love my TYLT but was stunned that it has a non-standard plug. And I was just as disappointed to find out that the black Nokia ships with a white wall wart. Thanks for confirming this for me, Mofo84.

I will not buy another charging pad unless it's USB connection chargeable. I'm now focusing my searches on pads and charging banks - really, just a wireless solution for my car. I don't want a dock, but want something grippy that will charge my phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DataHawg:
I prefer micro USB as well. Sometimes I unplug the USB cable from the Anker charging pad which is next to my bed and plug it into my Nexus7.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
I don't mind. I have several DT-900s and once plugged in there staying put.

I Jane one of there coming, hopefully, next week for when I travel. QI charging and mobile battery charger in one. Can also charge two other devices via USB. It may not really have a 10,000mAh battery, but if it has 6000 or so, I'm ok with that.

It's $74 on eBay. Still got the $40ish from the Chinese sites I'd rather get a QI charger with mobile battery charger I listed above or something like this:

http://www.everbuying.com/product467072.html
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
The first one listed has about 8000mah battery, and the battery is a grade B battery, although it's a 10000mAh, it's not a true figure, the size is ok, but too long for me, built quality looks ok.

second link is a charger that I also have, good quality one, but not totally compatible with all qi stuff.

third link, is a ugly power pack, very big, and loses power very quicky, the battery used insde is a cheap and nastly one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
Thanks for the input. I figured for the price it wasn't going to deliver what it claimed. I got the TX-5600 coming and for what I paid (about $37) I can live with it. 8000mAh is more that I was really expecting.

So you have any insight into the Anker 6,000mAh QI battery charger:

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-High-Ca...TF8&colid=1QJ6QEE6XM0GL&coliid=I392EEYSSCSO27

Wanted that one, but went with the cheaper TX-5600 because $70 was more than I wanted to spend. But the reviewer/tester said I was very efficient (via USB anyway he didn't have a QI device).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
haven't tried the anker, but the tx 5600, the detection rates is consider ok, not weak, but not strong, but does the job, i can't remember as the spec is very misleading, but the USB output i think is 1000mAh.

BTW with majority of these powerpack, you need to put some foam stickers, or something non slippery, it helps you position your phone, just like the ones I have posted in post 458.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Euforeik:
I am completely new to this wireless charging scene (always had an iPhone) but does it charge just as fast as the USB cable? I was researching and it looks like you can still charge with a case, correct me if I am wrong. If you have a case on does it affect how fast it charges?? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
No, you'll charge at around 1.8A with a cable and screen off

You'll charge at around 640ma wirelessly

Case won't affect the rate as long as it is able to charge through the case

On another note,

The Note 2 definitely charges slower than the N3

One more thing, i was looking into chargers and the tylt charger, is it worth the $70? I heard the nokia DT-900 is good and pretty cheap. Any suggestions from people out there?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
My apologies, I was reading the wrong post. Will edit my previous post.

I wouldn't worry to much about the receiver pad charge rate. As the Note 3 will charge at 640mAh. There may at some point be a custom kernel available that could increase the charge rate. But don't know by how much.

My Note 2 with Perseus kernel shows it charges at 999mAh, but I doubt that is correct as my Nokia charger should only output 750mAh and the charging speed did not improve enough to suggest the charging rate had doubled.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
I prefer the TYLT, but that's me. It's a very sharp looking charger, but like the Nokia, it uses a pin style plug. Great for my desk, though! I'd like to tell you how it charges but I can't. My receiver should be here next week. I wouldn't have paid $70. Good thing there was a coupon for TM. I think it's gone though. I paid 52+/- with free shipping.

I was going to get the Nokia but I want USB for my next pad.

It depends, do you need/want the stand aspect of the Tylt Vu enough to pay extra for it?

You should be able to get the Tylt Vu from T-mobile's website for 30% off. With shipping and tax it will still run you 50-something bucks (I don't remember exactly).

I got 2 tylt's and they charge the note 3 and s4 pretty fast but the nexus 7 takes longer. Also have 3 dt900 on the way.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
So far going with DT-900 into the second week, and i think its pretty good for the price. The charge time is similar to TYLT. i dont see any difference in charge times. The quality on Nokia is immaculate and is very handy in your backpack/laptop bag. I still like my TYLT on the bedside, i dont regret buying it. But thanks to RojasTDK for introducing DT-900 to me, i brought 3 of these for multiple locations and have my phone charged at all times.

However i am still looking for an ideal QI powerpack. Thats my next buy, and hence i lurk this section every once in a while,

[MENTION=610412]kms108[/MENTION] your knowledge on chargers are pretty good, what is your take on QI powerpacks? What is the one Power bank charger you will buy again if you have to for ur note 3?

Yeah. This. What is a good compact like the Nokia dt900 wireless pad but takes micro USB for input? I already have a 9000mah samsung external and I guess it has a usable 8000mah+ and with the efficiency losses I should be able to get around two charges out it still. Can't even mod the dt900 because I believe it is 12volt.

The Nokia works well, smaller than the device but easy to center on the element. No apparent LED on it. I have the white Chinese one to, much larger and harder to position to charge, the cable is shorter and the charge wall wart is European so US adapter is needed. The blue LED would be a disaster in a darkened room.

do you have a powerpack in mind, and what is you preference battery size, from what I was told, anything above 5000mAh will not give you a true figure, the metrans looks good, but the battery gives out too much power lose during charging, I have a few powerpacks including one that I personally mod.

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ----------

Because its wirelessly charging definately there is going to be power loss, if its a charger below 5000mAh or above 5000mAH, the loss is definate.

The problem lies with the true figures. Ebay sellers claim the battery pack they sell are 10000mAh, which i doubt will charge at 650mAh.

Earlier i had brought three QI chargers from ebay and they all take a lot of time to charge compared to the TYLT and Nokia DT-900.

I understand that a wired powerpack will charge faster.. i have a RavPower 11000mAH powerpack and it charges 10 to 100% in around 3 hrs or less.

But right now this quest is for a good QI powerpack. I dont want to be spending like crazy just as i did for the wireless chargers buying 7 of them, and now contented with TYLT and Nokia. I regret the 3 chinese chargers from ebay. Complete waste of money and time.

As of now all i want is a QI powerpack that can give me atleast one full charge with the same charge times as TYLT or Nokia

Hopefully my QI mobile battery charger (powerpack) will arrive this week. I'll post my thought after I have it. I still think the Anker may prove to be the most efficient option, but it $70. IT rated at 6000mAh and the guy that tested it on Amazon got just over 5000mAh using wired charging, so it either very efficient or has more capacity than rated.

It was more expensive, about $42 with tax, and now I've returned the phone and am stuck with the charging back.

I got it because I saw reviews of the insert type adapters that said on an S4 they left a bulge in the back that kept some case from fitting properly. Since I would be limited in the case selection anyway I wanted an OEM charging back in case it charged faster, and then I added a cheap bumper because NO case seems to work with the OEM charging cover.

---------- Post added at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------

I think BlueChris is right, the official charging back is almost certain to be thicker than the plain back. That's the way it is for the S4 charging back vs stock back cover.

---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------

BlueChris,

My understanding of your description is that the modified Note 2 charging insert is a tight fit in the Note 3 needing extra pressure to snap the case shut, correct?

Also, when you look at it closely, can you see or feel any bulge?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
A tiny bit extra pressure and if it's straight either way it's tricky to feel that because of the frame in the backplate around the camera.

Next test will be with the Spigen neo case (still isn't shipped from Amazon) because this will add thickness to the distance between the receiver and the sender, but I have an idea if it's not working to glue the receiver on the inside of the Spigen case and then with simple flat copper adhesive cable to bring outside of the back plate the + -. LOL I like this, what I don't like is that I haven't rooted yet cause of knox **** but I don't know how much time more I will w8 for a proper knoxfree rooting method.
