Micro work just requires patience. So far all of the mods I have seen look great... I myself am trying not to MOD this phone or the cases for the phone. I am happy with receiver I bought, it has NFC built in too.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DrPhant0m:
I searched for "desktop stand" "desktop cradle" and "cradle" and didn't get any hits for what I'm looking for.

Can anyone offer a suggestion for buying/making a stand/cradle for my phone that will allow me to set my phone in portrait or landscape mode and use a Nokia DT-900 Qi charging pad?

I got the idea when I was at Wal*Mart and saw a cell phone stand that had a picture frame built into the back (cheap, like, $2). I taped my charging pad to the back of the picture frame part, but unfortunately, with my Seidio Dilex case and the thickness of the plastic frame, I have to squeeze the phone and charging plate against the stand to initiate charging (it'll keep charging once I let go, though).

Anyone own a 3D printer? lol Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SladeZero:
I believe what you're looking for is called the Tylt Vu.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DrPhant0m:
I'm familiar with the TYLT Vu... but I'm not looking for a stand that is a wireless charger. Especially one that costs $70. This thing is going to sit on my desk at work... I won't leave something of that value out in plain sight all day.

I'm looking for a stand that I can make (or buy and modify) such that I can use my existing DT-900 charging plate. I was hoping some of the industrious people out there might have already tackled this problem.

Any other suggestions?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SladeZero:
Honestly 1/300 ppl at your job will know what qi is half of those will know what tylt vu is.

Edit:

You can do one of these:

My job is full of like-minded engineers of various disciplines. I can't throw a calculator around here without hitting a Nexus, Galaxy, or other Qi-compatible device. Even the janitorial crew has current-gen smartphones. I just noticed the other day that one of the cafeteria staff was wearing a Galaxy Gear... soon after, I learned it was paired to a Note 3, and both were rooted. Besides... it doesn't take an electronics geek to recognize a piece of hardware that could sell for $50 on eBay. Not a bad return on investment if all you have to do is sweep it off the desk after hours.

Thanks for the tips from the cnet link. Looks like fun. I've got a stack of exhausted Amazon gift cards... any one of which will make a handsome phone cradle. I might have to improvise to attach the charging plate, though, since it's considerably larger than an unfolded gift card. This was good inspiration, though.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SladeZero:
IM glad you took those links lightly... i was really making a worth while suggestion. I got my hand made cradle ganked by the clean up crew already... they wont touch the one that cost money. Also, I stand corrected i guess thats just my city. These people know nothing about tech around here.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DrPhant0m:
I've finished my prototype. 2 gift cards, a piece of shipping tape as a hinge, and a paperclip for rigidity.

Unfortunately, I couldn't take pictures with my phone while it was in the cradle... some imagination necessary.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SladeZero:
Worked out great to me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TheNeighbor101:
Of course I stopped wireless charging since I got a heavier casing. Today I took apart the S Charger Cover and placed the charging coil in the Defender case. I didn't bother taking out the plastic cover but it could fit. I heard that the coil set will make the original back cover bulge, and in this way I could always transfer the coil back to the S Charger cover.

Saves my micro USB port from wearing from plugging in to charge. I wanted to show the rest the process of detaching the coil from the S Charger Cover.

Hi all, My questions regarding wireless charger:

1# How much time does a wireless charger takes to full charge the Note 3? From zero to 100%?

2# If I use a aftermarket QI charger and Samsung OE one, does both performs same? Or there have difference in charging time?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dragonsamus:
I have an aftermarket wireless charger. The brand is Choetech. It was around $30-35 for the wireless receiver and the charging pad. Using an app called Battery Monitor Widget, it shows that my phone is pulling in around 500-650 mAh using wireless charging. When I plug my phone in with the official Samsung charger it pulls around 1,200 mAh. So it would appear that the wireless charger charges at half the rate. Also, I originally connect my wireless charger to my Samsung wall plug. I would wake up to a very warm phone. I read online that it was because the Samsung wall plug output is 2,000 mAh. So I switched it to an old Bluetooth charger which output is rated to 500 mAh. I no longer wake up to a warm phone. Hope that helps.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lanwarrior:
Reading through these posts, it seems that all of these 3rd party wireless charging sticker is causing bulge on the back and jabber compatibility issues with certain charger. Why not get Samsung official wireless charging cover? Is expensive, but when you register your Note 3, you'll get a coupon for 50% any accessories below $50

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dazzypops:
I've got a normal, s-view case (non wireless charging one) and have just added a receiver on the battery, which covers the three pins/contacts to the left of the battery. I'm a bit disappointed as the s-cover has stopped working now :( It does wirelessly charge though. What's the best app for viewing the wireless amperage? I've got the Battery Monitor Widget, but that states in the stats that the 'battery flow' is atm +310mA - this is from a standard PC USB2 port. It's not too bad though. It's probably been charging for a good hour and a half taking the battery from 30% to 44% so far. The contacts on the receiver are a little too big, as the side just under the power button doesn't snap shut at the moment, so a little bit of grinding off the three contacts might do the trick.

No idea why the s-view cover has stopped working though...

Would it help if one of the contacts was covered?

edit - battery stat app from time to time reads +661 A/h - not shabby at all :) Despite searching, I can't find anything on things to try to get the s-view cover to work once more.

edit - sorted it. I scratched away at the 'pass-thru' contacts to reveal the copper contacts and now it works 100%. Job's a good un. I still need to grind a bit of the contacts down to get the case to pop together properly but it's only in that one spot and it's not a gaping gap, it just won't quite stay popped back in.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] etecdailey:
hello,

i can't find info about back cover case for note3 - or they are not complete so i decided to ask here :)

i'm talking about back case model EP-CN900 in some shops they say that cover has built in battery of 650mAh capasity

is it true? does it increase N3 battery life while not on charger?

or is it charging power output value? (not a built in battery capasity)

:) greets ! nick
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dragonsamus:
The 650 mAh is how fast it'll charge wirelessly. Compare that to the 2,000 mAh charger that comes with the phone. If you charge your phone at night, wireless charging is great. If you are a heavy user and have to charge throughout the day, it'll be a lot slower. Its fine for topping off the battery though.

Ghetto mod :)

I've bought the NFC receiver a couple of days ago, and I was mad at the bulge - the IC makes the back door dent uder the camera so much that it actually creates "dust pocket" for collecting lint and dust.

Since I have available one of the cheap ebay battery door knockoffs (the ones with samsung logo made using self adhesive) I've decided to do some experimenting with dremel.

I've removed one of the stickers from antenna (external one, the one without thermal padding) and drilled the shape of the whole antenna in the battery door, takig special care for the place when IC will be resting (a tad bit deeper). The whole thing took about 20-30 minutes of carefull work, and I was quite proud of myself. But then I've placed the phone on the qi charger (I got the one with 45 deg slope, acting like a stand) and though everything worked like a charm the friction and warming caused samsung logo letters (self adhesive, remember?) to move around the backplate.

It was a mess (though funny one) so I've decided to go fully with ghetto modding and reglued all the letters with cyanopan glue :)

To my surprise glueing result is not as bad as I expected, it actually looks better than the photos show since they were taken against the light reflection.

Apparently imageshack went commercial since I've used it last time so here are some dropboxed photos of the mod.

Dropbox with photos

Take notice that the most important goal was achieved: no more bulge at the back, everything is flat. There is one, tiny, little place when you can see that the IC may be lurking underneath but this is really barely noticable (you have to know what are you looking for).

This basically boils down to the fact that you can succesfully mask the antenna and remove all the bulging - as long as you're using original backplate.

So, any questions? Especially regarding glue and letters? :D

(also a business hint for the guys in China: as you can see it is doable, so maybe it would be a good idea to join the forces of the knockoff battery door producers with qi guys and deliver flat battery door with NFC qi integrated?

I'd buy a couple of pieces.)

and this charger, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HA4Z96O/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i03?ie=UTF8&psc=1

just got them and using them right now. no fitment issues. slight bulge but with my case on i can't tell.

the thing is it gets pretty warm, after charging for maybe just 30 minutes...this is my first time with wireless charging. is this normal behavior? how hot is it supposed to get?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NWKENT:
Oh Yeah..It'll get hot..both charger and device..I have check surface temp of my TYLT charger with a laser temp gauge...at times up to 125 degrees..depends on the charge level of the device..when down to 20% - 30%..charging to 100%..high temps can be expected..from that low of battery charge..I will charge up to 50% and remove from charger, let cool for a few minutes..but when device is above 40%, then I will leave on charger for 100% charge..keep in mind, the charger needs to cool also, not just the device..lol

I also have the claris widget, it also reads 125° at times..

Here's a screenshot from my Moto G 4G LTE, just a few minutes ago..the center of screen is the widget I mentioned which is pretty accurate..I use the widget on all my devices..

The widget is resizable and any color text you want, and many other settings..be sure in "global" settings to choose a transparent background, or you'll have a black background.. unless you prefer that..hope this helps, I adore the widget, been using it since Droid X days..is also proven compatible with Android 4.4.4_21.11.21 on Droid Maxx..

hi i would like to know if with the aftermarket nfc qi enabled receiver the phone charges when turned off?

with original sview qi cover it shows a battery with 2 signals (like wifi).

with an aftermarket nfc enabled qi receiver (black with green letters) charges when on but when turned off doesn't show anything. This is normal?

waiting your answers thanks

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Unemployed_ghost:
so it doesn't charge with 3rd party receiver when turned off right?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] armedmetallica:
just got the official one from Samsung. my two cents? it's too damnned thick, increases the weight of the device significantly, doesn't work with my two other cases, texture of the white one feels plastic (the original black has that leatherette feel), and it seems like the camera is now more exposed/vulnerable.

what a mistake. I didn't even pay for this and I regret it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] scoobmd:
I've noticed that the various battery monitoring apps or widgets never seem to estimate the charging time correctly. For example, I get a constant 1 min on one and a constant 10min on another. I get better estimates when just plugging into the charging port.

Is this a quirk of using wireless charging or is my charging sticker on the battery messed up?

Disable/mute System sounds. Use Tasker or a sound profile manager to have system sounds turned right down at night and you won't hear the charge on/off tones.

thanks for that it works for the phone i may have to get NFC tags and glue to the charger. the other problem is the charger it also beeps even louder :D i may open that and remove the speaker. at least it gets me to 100% through the night

Has anyone in here purchased the Docooler Qi Receiver that claims to output 1000mA (1A)? I ordered one yesterday, and I'm hoping that it will live up to its spec.

My wireless charging stand claims an output of 1000mA (1A), so I want to make use of it. Using the Galaxy Charging Current app, I can see that my fonesalesman qi receiver gives me 640mA consistently.

Has anyone been able to achieve greater than 640mA?

Thanks,

The product you linked is for an S5. The Note 3 version looks the same as most of the others. One option for using S-View cases is to root the phone, install xposed framework, and install the "S-View ALL the covers" module. This xposed module bypasses the need for the IC chip to be present, and relies solely on the presence of the magnet near the bottom-left of the front of the phone to activate "open" and "closed" status of the S-View covers. This worked for me, until I installed JasmineROM, which is an S5/Note4 port and results in problems with S-View The benefits of the ROM far outweigh the drawback of S-View not working. I don't really use S-View, so it's not a problem for me.

In any case... once you've got the mod set up, all you need to do is to put a magnet near the sensor on the front of the phone, and you can trigger the S-View "closed" state. No actual S-View cover necessary. This mod was born out of the fact that the Kit-Kat updates from Samsung initially broke all 3rd party S-View covers.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bubblesmoney:
Tried many receivers including official ones. None will give you more than 640milliamps. Tried few which even say 1 amp and 1.5 amp.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DrPhant0m:
Thanks for the quick response. What charging plate/stand are you using, and what is it rated for? The TYLT Vu, for instance, claims a 1A output. (and so does my stand, which is very similar to the Vu) However, the qi receiver also has to be rated at 1A... and so does the AC adapter... in order to have the full 1A potential reach the phone. My current receiver only claims 600mA. If all components are sufficiently-rated, and 640mA is still the max that you see... then there is either IC hardware in the phone that limits charging current, or it is limited in the kernel. Possibly both. In that case, there is little you can do... unless the kernel is the only problem, and you've got the Developer Edition of the phone (not likely... I sure don't have one).

This may all be known to you, so I don't mean to insult your intelligence by asking and elaborating on these facts. I just want to develop a clear understanding of your answer. Please elaborate on the hardware you used. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bubblesmoney:
If it was possible to get higher than 640 mamps then the main manufacturers would already have done it. I have used 3 samsung chargers and several official samsung receivers and several nexus devices and moto 360 and various different qi chargers from different sources shown on my youtube videos. I have used others that I have not shown in my videos. I don't post links to my videos on xda anymore as some mods pick and choose what is allowed and nor allowed. Several prominent posters post links to their videos which clearly have amazon affiliate links but that is deemed Ok but none of my videos have affiliate links. I have refused affiliate links even though offered by sellers but my posts were edited a while back by mods to delete links and got message asking me not to post those links. Hence don't post my videos here anymore. Anyone interested in my opinions about the devices I use can find my user reviews on my youtube Channel. Please note mine is am amateur Chanel and I am not a professional reviewer as I have a profession and playing with gadgets is just an interest.

None of the various Qi chargers and receivers and qi devices I have ever used have given more than 640milliamps irrespective of what is claimed on the charger or receiver. I don't use custom roms so can't opine on that situation. I am just stating my experiences using various qi devices and receivers and chargers. I have used Nokia, samsung and many other chargers.

I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong and will buy any supposedly higher charging device to test it myself if it is within my budget.
