Ordered this 2 days ago, just received it today, the packaging looks good, but when opening the package the actual charger was a little disapointment on the looks, the charger has a glossy surface along the side, the item I got has some markings, the unit has a micro USB input and two USB output for cable charging or powering, on the front is a smoked window with a very soft blue LED that flashes during charging.

The detection rate is acceptable, but not excellent, this is because the coil used is only a single layered compared to many of the similar coil used are doubled layered, so it's a + - within a surface distance.

The good thing is, once the charger detects the phone, it does have a very good connection, I have a lightning qi receiver on my ipod touch 5, and not all my chargers work, a few of them will just connect and disconnect, this one works very well, and works with my phone using a tpu case

As a bed side charger the blue light does not affect you in anyway, but the speaker is very load, so I think removing the beeper will sort this out.

So overall at a cost of USD 13, it's still a bargin.

Please do not ask for a direct link, no link will be provided, just search in www.taobao.cn , and yes taobao do send internationally, but you need to over come the language barrier.

Exactly. I have one for each location with the Vu being my fav, 3 coil charger next, then the Nokia, then my cheapo.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stargzrr11:
Tried it. It doesn't fit.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mr. Moe:
I bought the Tylt Vu dock and got the Samsung Wireless charging cover when it was on sale for $20.

Haven't used them yet because they are still wrapped under the tree(gifts to myself) until tomorrow, will do a review on them then.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
I gifted the same to myself and didn't wait to charge. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stargzrr11:
Me either.

Works great. I have not noticed any of the heat issues others have complained about. Doesn't even seem to get warm. I'm just using a bumper and that may be the difference.

Only complaints I have are Touchwiz software issues. If you use daydream for clock, when the battery gets fully charged it will give you a notification that the battery is fully charged (always seems to happen at about 3am). This replaces the daydream app, so it doesn't time out and if you take it off the charger to fix it, it will just happen again.

As far as I can tell, there is no way to disable this.

I ended up creating a tasker rule to show the time on the lock screen for a few seconds if you wave at the phone. (Air gesture doesn't work while in the tylt vu stand because the phone isn't laying flat). This fixes the notification since the screen won't be on. This might be better for the screen anyways.

Would be bad a$$ if I could use my nexus7 as a wireless pad for my N3 or vice versa..... not to buy these hunks of hardware over and over...

More or less, would be nice to implement a piggyback charging system so that everyone can have power when needed, if NFC is locally avail.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JHimmelbauer:
Has anyone have experience with the TYLT VÜ Wireless Charger (http://www.tylt.com/vu/)?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
lol, has anyone tried search. ;)

Search Tylt in this thread and you will find plenty of info... BTW nice charger I own three, but only I found them for less than full price.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JHimmelbauer:
oh, thank you for the info, I've overlooked...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerys71:
I got the 3 coil charger from china. I was excited at first. its VERY VERY nice looking with a nice surface and aluminum sides. I ALSO love the non retina burning lighting!

it does work "long ways" but still for whatever reason my note 3 prefers to be perpendicular to charge.

alas its a no go. the phone got "QUITE" hot. uncomfortably hot. and it did not fully charge the phone overnight. I won't be using it again. :( my little cheap white one is still what I have to use. got to block out those damned LED's :) it claims to charge at 1000mah and the rate at which it actually charges suggests it might charge even faster. I will have to run some tests.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
may be you have a bad one, my friend took mine, and using it with a yijieneng and s view cover, works without any problem.

Have you contacted the seller for a exchange.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerys71:
can the charger itself be defective in such a way to cause that much heat? it was not hot enough to burn me but sure as hell make me not want to use it again :)

I will send a message and see what they say. its china so....
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Too bad. I really like mine; charges flawlessly.

---------- Post added at 08:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------

Heat during charging can be several things - an app, the placement of the receiver, etc. It's not always the fault of the charger. In fact, the times I experienced overheating while charging was those two things. Check your rig and try again, if you haven't already.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Shouldn't really be that hot, a few member in this forum have the same unit, may be they can comment, no problem with the one I had.

no qi charger should run very hot, may be you can try other qi receivers, as I did mention before, there are compatible issues with receivers and transmitters.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ChardC:
So, I received the official Samsung wireless charging kit and I must admit; I'm satisfied. If anyone is interested, the link is below.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aalupatti:
Obviously you should be. 99$ :eek:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Skander1998:
To be fair they use a high-quality back with new NFC integrated and a very good quality Wireless integration.

The Pad is also very high quality.

If you can afford it go genuine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
First I like to point out that I cannot see any of the photo's.

reading through your post regarding the legit of the qi wireless s view cover, I can confirm that your cover may be defective and samsung does not sell non qi compatible receiver.

Although the qi standard is internationally, they do pose a compatible issues between brands, and many people on this forum know about this, you are lucky to have a working version of the tylt.

Athough many receivers sold are third party brands from china, they do have the advantages of putting them into the phone using the original cover and will work with most cases.

The yijieneng receiver is the only one that can be used directly with a s view cover without any mod, others will require a simple mod to have it working.

hope you enjoy your setup.:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gotovamsee:
Thank you for your comments, I was afraid if anybody can see my images hosted on dropbox for public sharing. I did see it myself as a guest user without any problem. Can somebody also plz confirm if these pictures are not seen.

By the way I did not say Samsung sold or selling non-Qi compatible receivers but I did say the S-View covers they are selling on the code name EF-CN900BBEGIN does not have wireless charging capability. However I would love to agree that Samsung do not sell these S-view covers without wireless charging support. The links I showed and the images I compared clearly shows it is. The one Samsung india e-store selling it today does not support wireless charging and it do not sport Qi logo on it so I can bet on that :)

Please prove me wrong as I can also claim for warranty on my case that came with bill.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
looking at the link provided, the eshop one is just a normal s view cover, it does not have the wireless charging function, thats why you won't find the qi logo, the second link has the wireless charging, you can see the qi logo on it.

so that you know, that estore is not samsung's official online store, it's just company authorised by samsung to sell samsung product on behave of samsung.

you can try to upload the image using www.imageshack.us
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Seeing the photo's, the s view cover in the first photo is the normal non wireless charger cover, and from the link of the estore, they are correct and has not giving false information, you have probably misunderstood, so I was correct that samsung does not sell non qi compatible wireless covers.

Samsung sells both the wireless and non wireless version of the cover, so it's not a sales trick, you just need to read the information provided, you are lucky to get the wireless s view cover, they are hard to find, and not available in every country.

The second photo is the official wireless cover.

FYI, do not take the information of the app for correct current, the app is never correct.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
The S-View with wireless charging still wasn't available in the USA when I made my second order from Samsung last week, though the regular version was. I don't know how you got the impression that the normal S-View also added wireless charging, but I think it should so that there aren't so many different flip covers! I don't think it qualifies for the half-off coupon that I used anyway. The S-Charger didn't and that's why I got a TYLT Vu and an official Samsung Wireless Charging Back Cover battery door.

I also got the spare battery with charging kit so I should always have plenty of power remaining! ;) I wish the spare battery charger had Qi charging just so I don't have to carry around the charger with it. I saw a Note II user with a universal one designed to fit under a battery door with a flat cable to the external microUSB port, so I'll look for something like that. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
you can always mod the spare battery charger, I've done this with my note 2 one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gotovamsee:
May be I did not make myself clear. I do not have a wireless charging S-view cover, instead I used the receiver sticker that allowed wireless charging. As I mentioned in my post I came to know myself there are two models in S-view that looks exactly the same only after lot of reading and comparison. Even the top rated sellers have no idea about this.

Moreover I felt it was misleading because officially nowhere Samsung mentioned there are two versions wireless and non wireless. I remember reading blogs and articles about S-View flip case that always talked about wireless charging support and many sellers still selling the same product (CN900BBEGIN) on the name of wireless charging.

Check this out:

http://www.ebay.in/itm/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NOTE3-N9000-S-VIEW-COVER-CASE-EF-CN900BBEGIN-Black-Sealed-Pack-/191013090245?pt=IN_Mobile_Accessories&hash=item2c794473c5&_uhb=1#ht_8432wt_1066

I bet the above item does not support wireless charging as my S-view cover has the same code letter by letter. So reading the content did not help me here. I believe this confusion could have been easily cleared if Samsung spent little interest in making their customers aware of this difference.

The app screenshot showing charging current should be more or less correct as I checked it already with few other apps.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
I read through the ebay link, yes it's misleading that it states supports wireless charging, but that a seller on ebay, but not samsung themselves.

I'm sure samsung wont have that problem, and samsung don't really promote their accessories in details, this is the same with many companies.

i'm sure if you goto samsung's official online site, it will state this, just like the link you have posted below.

http://www.samsung.com/za/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/galaxy-note-accessories/EF-TN900BBEGWW
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
Amazon's listing for the Note 3 S-View says that the window is made of a special material for full S-Pen support. If you know how a Wacom digitizer works, you know that this is B.S. Just because it isn't magenteic or metallic doesn't make it "special." Samsung's product listing only claims that it allows full touch and S-Pen use when closed.

Samsung is not perfect though: While they have been very careful not to call the leather-like battery door leather, they keep calling the molded stitch-like design on the plastic door "delicate stitching," which is an out-right lie!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Compusmurf:
Got the official samsung flip sview cover with wireless charging on Tuesday.

Like the original only thicker.

Works well. I think I will be keeping it. Pricey tho.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
From where? For how much?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaiius:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EF-TN900BBESTA

where can i get a wireless chargin pad for it though?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Compusmurf:
This thread has about 20 charging pads listed. Start reading back. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] EnhancerFIN:
I have read 85% of this thread, and I'm little confused.

There is so much different opinions about different receiver pads, and also about chargers also.

Could someone who has the knowledge via their own testing point me to a proper receiver pad, and a nice charger working with that?

Few criterias:

- Price, the oem solution is available and that is too expensive, maybe 40$ would be ok for the hardware as the charger would be ok for the next phone too.

- NFC function is not an issue for me, haven't used it

- S-View compatibility is a plus, in future might be used, not so important though it is easily modified to any pad afterwards

- Amount of bulge, this would be the main criteria for me, as I will be using the original back cover, and this is also one reason why I don't want the oem qi cover as it is thicker

- Availability, store has to be able to ship to Finland

- Charger pad needs to have microusb, as I want to use existing charger rather than some random chinese one

- No sound, led isn't an issue

The 3 coil charger seems quite nice, and fits my needs, but is there a competitor for that, and how about the receiver?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BMWBig6:
Wireless charging cycles between 100% and 99%

Just installed a wireless charging receiver on my Note 3 and it seems to charge fine on my charging pad. The only problem is sometimes it will stop charging, then immediately reconnect (I get the "Wireless charging now active" dialog box). Then a few seconds later, it will do it again. Sometimes it won't do this at all, other times it will repeat this for hours.

Is this happening because the phone is not positioned properly? Or is it because the phone fully charges (to 100%), then it turns off and as power is consumed, it starts charging again (at 99%) until it's topped off again?

How do I stop this from happening? Is this a hardware issue, or can I change an Android phone setting? Or would a 3rd party app for battery monitoring help throttle power or control charging cycles?

In case it matters, here is what I'm using:

White eBay Qi-compatible charging receiver:

​

TYLT Vu wireless charging cradle:

​

Ringke Slim case:

Does anyone know if a month later, the revised/updated versions of these products were ever released? Did you all receive your replacements as promised (and is the problem gone)?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
No updated info yet, but your issue is the combination of that receiver with the Vu. Different receivers work better with the Vu.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BMWBig6:
So which receiver works best with the Vu (and preserves NFC and thin form factor to use factory back and afterarket case)?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerys71:
I got my NFC enabled wireless receiver. so far its working (still have to test nfc) no bulge to speak of either. if I look carefully right below camera bulges slightly but I had to really look for it to see it. not even worth dremeling the battery cover to deal with it.

another bonus it appears my extreme "heating" on my new 3 coil pad is fixed with the new receiver. must be related to the other receiver? no crazy heating now. Nice. this pad is much better and I don't have to so carefully place the phone nor do I have to place it perpendicular.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Pretty much. Right now I'm using the NFC receiver and the OEM case. The receiver I had that did that with my Vu died and I had to get another. I've seen a lot of posts about that receiver/Vu combo issues. Still, TYLT did admit to it being a known issue.

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

Yes. And, that's the receiver I'm currently using. Little to no issues other than the "slight bulge". It's not bothering me as much as initially. If there was one that was thin, worked well with NFC and my Vu, I'd go for it. Nothing found yet. OEM cover is a nice backup if you get it half off, but not for me for every day.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] EnhancerFIN:
Can you give the link for the receiver you are using? Nice to see that this new one you have works without issues with that 3 coil pad I was also thinking about getting.

If I understand earlier messages right, this nfc version adds a little bulge? Is there a version with no bulge and no nfc?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] eaglenest608:
Turns out my issue was the phone itself. I took back to Best Buy and got a brand new one and it now works perfectly with the Tylt charger.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
I'm glad you have the transmitter sort out. Have fun.

Near the bulging area, the ic is lying on top of a line that sticks out of the case, you can use sand paper to sand down that area alittle to rectify that problem.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BMWBig6:
Just in case anyone was wondering, I think I've narrowed it down to the Dock Clock app (a nightstand alarm clock app). When I disable or uninstall it, the phone charges fine. When I have it automatically activate the app when the phone begins charging, the cycling happens. I contacted the developer and he suspects the power draw from the app is pulling more juice than the charger can provide so it suspends charging whenever this limit is exceeded. Does that make any sense? I guess I need to find a different night stand clock app.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
Case or back cover? I wouldn't recommend sanding down the back cover. I think the antennas are in the cover.

Those chargers are pretty good, friend owns 2/3 of them
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
The battery cover, there is nothing in there. its safe to do so.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] :
I can confirm this...Just be careful not to go too deep or generate too much heat as I did. Thankfully I didn't go all the way through. I have a case over it anyways so it's not a big deal to me. I'm just happy the bulge is gone and the phone lays flat.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BMWBig6:
What app is that screen shot from?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
Battery Monitor Widget
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BMWBig6:
Thank you BlueChris! Rep'd! :good:

I see 2 different apps called "Battery Monitor Widget" in the Play store, both with over 1M downloads, both rated 4.5 stars with thousands of ratings. I'll figure out which is which (unless someone can recommend which is best). I currently have Battery Doctor but the graphics seem almost too slick, leading me to believe it is maybe more bloated than it needs to be.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
This one is what I use

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
Nope. There would be connections (pads or pogo-pins). Also, you'd have trouble using it without a battery door, which is something I often do to keep the battery cool.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BMWBig6:
Thanks, that's the one that looked most similar to the screenshot so I've been using it for the past few hours. Love it!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
The only, ONLY Qi Receiver that works with the S-View Flip Cover, without having to be modified, is the TechMatte Qi Receiver! I have it, and others, but the TechMatte is the only one I ever use any more! It also has a larger charge area than some others, so you don't have to be precise when you place your phone on to the Qi charger!

Nokia DT900 is a GREAT Qi Charger! It's already been on the market for a while, and has the reputation of being the "go-to" in Qi chargers. It can be bought from AT&T's website for around $30. It doesn't use generic mini or micro USB though, it does have a specific charger for it, which Nokia includes in the box (not "some random Chinese one" like you mentioned, but an actual Nokia charger).

SwiftKey'ed from my White Sprint Note 3 via XDA Premium

Congrats! think it's a great option. The price is actually relatively cheap when compared to the regular S-View Cover. It's only $10 more and you get wireless charging! That's the same, or cheaper in some scenarios, as buying the regular S-View Cover and a Qi Receiver. The fact that it's slightly thicker isn't a big deal in my opinion, because you already know your cases aren't going to work and that the S-View Cover will add some bulk (with or without Qi capabilities).

I went ahead and got the regular Samsung S-View Cover months ago, because I didn't want to keep waiting and a release date was never given. Plus, my Qi Receiver works with my standard battery door, my cases, and my S-View Cover. So basically a Qi Receiver accomplishes the same thing as the wireless S-View Cover, AND also gives you wireless charging with the stock battery door.

You really can't wrong with either route the user decides to take!

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kudosmog:
Do you have a link to the TechMatte receiver? I have this one and it works, but something would have to be modded since it's a super tight fit getting the sview case on:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GJH5M42/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It also gives me problems with NFC which I'd like to avoid. So if there's a better one out there that allows s-view functions and is thin enough to fit with the s-view case I'd like to know.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
Well, I don't know what to tell ya. I have this item bookmarked in my browser so I can easily locate it and share the link with people. Just clicked on it to post it for you, and the item's image has changed! The item they have pictured is NOT the one that's normally shown, and NOT the one that I received from them! You should contact them before ordering to see if they have recently changed this item. I also have a Qi Receiver that looks identical to the one they now have pictured, but I ordered it on eBay and it shipped from China. Don't know what to say at this point. It took me totally by surprise when I saw a different image for the item in the link!

Here is the link - http://www.amazon.com/TechMatte-Qi-...d=1388502963&sr=1-1&keywords=techmatte+note+3

Hopefully an employee accidentally attached the wrong pic to the item. You should DEFINITELY contact them before ordering though!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
Here's a pic of mine, and what the image in that link used to be.

EDIT: Wow! I'm shocked that my images were actually attached to my post! Neither XDA Premium or XDA Premium HD will actually attach more than 1 pic per post, no matter how many I try to attach! That's the reason I jumped on the standard Tapatalk, just to see if it would.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
Here's a pic with both together. The larger one (white on one side, black on the other) is what TechMatte did have pictured, and what I received from them. The smaller one (white on both sides) is what I got from eBay/China, and ALSO what TechMatte currently has pictured. I have both Receivers showing the same sides in each pic. That's to show that the TechMatte Receiver has the contacts open on both sides.
