Can't sleep so thought I would post re: this. Got up to check phone because of the heat before. Really had me concerned. Also, wanted to verify that it was still keeping the screen off while maintaining/sipping charge. Now that the phone has reached and maintained 100% for a while the heat has dissipated and it is as cool as the other receiver I used. The coverage is better, too, I've noticed. I don't have to have it as perfectly on target with the Vu. Bulge, yeah, huge, no. Still it does bother me a little even with the case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
That should be the one unless it's just a photo that ebay sellers always uses, the golden foil one, I know about that, it's a flexi coil and heats up a lot.

BTW the black one from powerqi has the ic at the bottom instead of the top, so it does not bulge near the camera.

Has anyone tried the new Nillkin Qi receivers on eBay? Seen them only recently, claimed to be very thin? http://nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=1&tid=0&cid=4&scid=22&id=3663&page=1 They're pretty pricey, 19.95 per piece.

edit: found it cheaper on a site, will take one for the team since a quick search showed no one has tried this one yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
Ordered this yesterday, will review when I receive it. Will work in conjuction with oem Samsung back plate
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mutantblack:
Wow that much bulge? I was hoping I can hide the bulge with a case. That might be a deal breaker for me. Thx for the update.

Have any idea like My S3 won't turn on

Do you have any idea like My S3 won't turn on unless I wriggle the charger around or either hold the charger so it can charge and sometimes it just doesn't charge . So i went to buy a new charger and it's still doing the same thing !! Do ineed to take it in to the ALL PHONE company ?? Please someone help don't wanna throw it out .

I had a antenna problem after the last update which took Verizon 3-4 weeks to send out an update to fix it and now I'm back to having the same issues again only this time it's affecting my text messaging. I use group chat which uses mms messages instead of sms and I for the past day or two I haven't been getting hardly any of them at all. I love my Galaxy but sheesh this is a shame. I hope the S4 doesn't have these problems because if not I might go force Verizon to let me upgrade free of charge because they know these phones have an issue and don't tell anyone.:(:(

This is the note 3 thread for wireless charging.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
You can, mostly. I'm very OCD about stuff like that. That's why I was using another receiver. This new one is the only one I could get it quickly. Fine for now. Performs well.

I thought, hoped, I was getting a powerqi. So wrong, again. :) I'm going to watch the green one and see what people report.

Just got back from Best Buy they have the original Samsung Note 3 Wireless Charging Back on sale for $31.98 and the S VIEW covers for $47.98
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Ditto. No word from the seller yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
The one I posted above and the one with NFC are both from powerqi
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Thanks. My chip is by the camera, not below. I don't think mine is powerqi.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
The one with NFC support has the ic at the top, the one I posted in the photo's (middle receiver) has the ic at the bottom.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
My misunderstanding. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kryolos:
I have the Nillkin. They have been available for a while now, just rare it seems. I believe I have some pictures / measurements somewhere in this thread with it.

Don't waste your money. It's by far the thickest receiver I have for the Note 3. The only thing it has going for it is that the thickness is uniform with the IC (which is actually on the bottom). This actually helps keep the back still looking the same (seems to have less vertical tilt/rocking when the phones on a flat surface).

It doesn't seem to use a copper coil but at the same time it's not flexible like the NFC receiver or the one that TechMatte uses. Also NFC does not work in any shape or form with this thing on the back of the phone.

Overall I guess it's alright (if you don't need NFC) but definitely not worth the price premium over the other brands that are available.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] falgun:
Which one would you recommend with NFC or which one do you use i have plenty of NOKIA charging pads but want to get my note 3 going with the wireless charging. so just wondering which is route to go. i have a nilkin carrying case on it a thin plastic one. thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
Mine shipped out at noon today. Got tracking
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Got my shipping notice around the same time.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Vulpix:
Thanks. I guess I'll cancel the order.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TweetyBear:
What's the best one with nfc? I tried reading the thread but was getting too much lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
from my understanding there is only one receiver mentioned here with built in NFC, and only 4 version available, but not easy to find.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TweetyBear:
I saw the docooler one on amazon for $11 with shipping that says it had nfc. Was gonna get it but wanted to see if there was a better one. I'm gonna get the Techmatte one for sure since I don't need nfc but my SO does.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
That is a powerqi, many of the sellers on ebay and amazon uses there name or try to rebadge them, just look at the actually receiver, it's the same one posted here from the beginning.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TweetyBear:
So that's a good one to buy? A little bulge doesn't bother me since will have it in a case. How is it compared to the Techmatte? I'm gonna read a few more pages of the thread :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
what do you want to compare, the so call techmatte, is made by yijieneng, I really hate these sellers calling it their product.

The yijieneng has the advantage of using it with the s view cover, powerqi has the NFC, but both offer similar performance, whiles the yijieneng has a much bigger coil offering a greater surface detection.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TweetyBear:
Hmm I guess I would like the bigger coil so I don't have to set the phone a certain way. I'm guessing you gain one you lose one in usability?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
if you use the s view cover, the yijieneng will work together.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TweetyBear:
I would like big coil and nfc but I guess you really can't have both with the powerqi. I may just buy both and keep the Techmatte for myself and the other for him. Thanks kms
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
there is a way around it, haven't tried it but it should work, you can cut the nfc part from the powerqi receiver and use it with the yijieneng, but it will make it slightly thicker
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TweetyBear:
Hmm I'll think about it. Or I may try and see if I can remove the stickers to make it a bit thinner. I'm gonna try to attached it to the battery door instead as well. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Can you tell me if the NFC functions properly with the receiver in the middle?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
Works fine here
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
I haven't tried it, so cannot confirm this.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
You have the new green lettered receiver shown in the middle? And the NFC is fine, what about heat while charging or bulge?

My Note3 SM- N900 with S-View flip case does not charge at all with the all new Tylt VU that I bought from eBay. I tested with another un rooted note 3 and it doesn't work there as well.

Any suggestions what can be done here?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
Huh? What wireless receiver are you using? Not to insult your knowledge but you are aware unless it is the wireless s-view cover it won't charge?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Zack84a:
I guess I should also ask. Does anyone know if this is the same size as the stock case? Just curious if it added any size or if it would effect my case on the phone.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stargzrr11:
I have this back. It adds just enough thickness that cases don't fit.

For example, the spigen bounce case (barely) doesn't fit anymore.

If you want an idea on how thick it is, the charging back is flush with the camera. With the standard back the camera sticks out a bit.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
Gah! Not only did I already order one for 40% off and get a coupon for 50% off the same day (for registering my phone), but I used that coupon today and needed some filler to get free shipping (added 50% off Tec Tiles). If I had known about this 50% off charge cover battery doors coupons I probably could have got a second cover for $10 to sell with my second Tylt Vu charger!

Anyone know if the deal stacks with the 50% off code you get for registering your phone? Also, anyone know if it works on the S-View wireless charging case (other 50% off code is only good on items under $50)?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mychal:
Yes, it is stackable. Two days ago, I ordered the wireless back cover, some Tec Tiles, and the spare battery charging kit...all 50% off.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] maetsuenxda:
Does the original Samsung back cover for Note 3 have the same thickness as this?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
try reading back a few post, it has been answered.

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

I used the yijieneng receiver from the photo (first receiver) and tried it with the s view, works without any problem, now I have added NFC to the same receiver to see if it works, will post more information on it once confirmed it's working.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
This is thicker but looks original. With the original battery door the camera protrudes. With the official wireless charging cover battery door the camera is very slightly recessed. You will not be able to fit it in a normal case but bumper cases that leave the back exposed generally work fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jmichaels1982:
Bought this one , regretted it

I hated that one , i was soo excited for the nfc capability too! But once i placed it on my nokia dt-900 , it constantly failed to charge. Mean while the ebay one would fail 3/10 times or so , this one failed 9/10 times. The ebay one does not significantly reduce NFC or bulge the phone, and it works with seidio active . I ordered another one for my brother. Any one has thinner wider and nfc friendly suggestion aside from the ebay one ?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/271305675584?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 ( this is the one I bought two of after i returned the one above )

I'm also waiting for a better wireless-charger receiver out there.

As per the wireless charging pad, I'll get the Official Nexus Wireless Charger.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
The receiver is a little weak, but it's also the problem with the nokia, the dt 900 is known to have problems with many third party receivers.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BMWBig6:
So when you say the white eBay one fails to charge about a third of the time, do you mean you just have to reposition it those 3 times to find the sweet spot and trigger the charge function? Or do you mean it appears to charge and you walk away and come back hours later and it never actually charged (battery showing the same remaining charge status)?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jmichaels1982:
repositioning

No i meant proper placement, it never felt to charge as long as it didnt start blinking within 30 seconds. What was amazing is that the one i hated from amazon would fail after half an hour of charging randomly without me touching it or changing the position. So to reiterate, the amazon one would not charge 9/10 times ( meaning right of the bat the nokia charger would start blinking ) and then the few successful times it would just fail about half an hour into the charge.

Whats even funnier is that i bought the amazon one thinking it has a bigger range of charge and better NFC, it failed in both, and i bought two of them one for me and the other for my brother, tried both and both failed miserably.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BMWBig6:
Thanks for clarifying your experience for me. I'm going to try the white eBay one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerys71:
I ordered this to get a cheap try it now fix for my note 3

281201436445 $26 shipped from US

I got it and well. it works. its a little wonky. I have to have the phone sideways to work. it pretty much won't work in the same orientation as the charging pad but works every time sideways.

My plan is to make a nice wooden box that "holds" the phone in precisely the right spot with the charging pad embedded in the bottom so i can just casually toss the phone in its socket and have it "work" without having to fiddle with it.

it also works through my UAG case and through my Bamboo case (LOVE the bamboo case gorgeous!)

I also grabbed this one 231040258538 $22 shipped

for my Note 2. I WILL be ordering more of these. it rocks. its universal so ANYTHING micro usb. I have a zero lemon on my Note 2 with the zero shock rugged case so this is OUTSIDE the plastic shell under the TPU case. (I figured an inside the battery cover one would be too far away from the charger plus it won't work with a zero lemon as it can't reach the contacts (covered by the zero lemon)

works fantastically! zero issues.

same quirk as the note 3 unit. have to have the phone sideways.

I have to "cover" the red and green LED's at night however. WAY to bright :)

Some Pics

I have a video as well

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
if you try to remove the universal receiver, take extra care when removing the USB, it's very fragile, if you have any super glue, put some on the the usb plug, the part that you use you finger nail to pull out, also the cable that is soldered on to the main receiver is not strong, so take extra care at that area too.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerys71:
yeah that did cross my mind. I was thinking of trying to leave enough slack in the end so I could pop it out if I needed to use a regular charger or an otg unit or something like that. it dawned on me that the super slim cable probably would not survive too much rough housing at all.

I will probably wire up pads to the on phone contacts like I plan to do with the NFC pads and use the actual wireless charging pads. it would be nice if they built the charging circuit and qi circuit into the battery itself so you could even charge "just" the battery on the pad. that would be handy.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
The extra slack of the cable near the end will be even worse, it will kill it faster.

I've wired the oem S3 battery charger with a receiver so I can just place the charger on the transmitter and charge the battery,

It's that damn IC on the top portion.. If there was a wave to shave down that IC, we would have no problem squeezing it in.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nerys71:

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ClyssaN:
I've the same receiver (with NFC) and it bulges near the camera. It's very noticeable, for me is a no go.

Soz, you are using a case, my mistake.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] poppadoc:
I honestly didn't notice it until i saw your post. Not that much of a deal to me, being I will use a case with it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
I can't comment on the normal cover, but looking at the s view cover, the IC lies on top of the line on the cover, this can be cut down to size, you can also sand down that section for a better fit, for the yijieneng, the ic is also near the top, but the ic is just below the actual line.

2 Questions: 1) Daydream and 2) Overheating

For the last few nights, I have been using a Tylt Vu, along with the Techmatte (yijieneng?). Seems to work fine for me, but Daydream only turns on after the 10 minute screen off setting I have, as opposed to immediately seeing Daydream when I plug in to charge. Any ideas how I can get Daydream to kick in the moment wireless charging starts?

Also, the phone gets warm. Everyone keeps talking about overheating, but I think nobody has explained if this is a significant concern. Am I doing long-term damage to the phone, Tylt, or battery? Or is it just that folks don't like picking up a warm phone?

Gracias.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
I'm not sure about this daydream, but it has been mentioned many times that wireless charging does get warm, warm, hot and overheating are totally different.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mychal:
God bless you, kms, but...I don't really understand what you typed there. :)

Daydream is the screensaver built into newer versions of Android, and it is the primary means of displaying information on the screen while the phone is in a dock.

Regarding the heat: yes, many people have mentioned that wireless charging often causes heat. But I can't find where anybody actually explains if the heat is a bad thing, or if it's just a personal preference (ie maybe some folks don't like picking up a hot phone off the charger).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
Got this in today... Build quality very good and works like a charm
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
What I have said is clear and straight to the point, may be you should explain more specific so that people will understand what you need to say, as this is a international forum.

As for the heat problem a search will get you lots of results, whether it for the note 3, note 2, S3 or S4, the results and answers are all the same. Up to a certain degree, the heat is acceptable, but if you have mentioned that it's too hot to hold, then there is a problem.

I've been through hundreds of transmitter and receivers, not a single issues regard the phone being too hot to handle, warm yes, but's that's normal.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
True. I've had two instances of overheating with my N3, one related to an app and the other related to slightly improper receiver placement. It would still charge, but caused excess heat while doing so. Once repositioned the excess heat no longer occurred.

Just received my wireless charging back. Glad I only paid $25.00, but still glad I got it.

Notes:

1. I can just barely use my current case - plain silicone - but my Vu won't charge thru it. The 3 coil pad I received today charges fine with back and same case.

2. Really like the feel of the back - nicer than the Sprint back

3. I can see using this at home, but not for use outside.

4. I feel a real weight difference vs. the receiver. Maybe it's me.

5. The thickness, weight, and Vu/case issues with keep me from using this for everyday. It will be my insurance policy for broken receivers. :)

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

Update - now charging thru case on Vu. My fault - one part of the back wasn't completely engaged. Case fits and Vu charges. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
From my years of using these wireless product, it seems like these Chinese product have more advantages with the ability to charge better with cases on, chargers I have from sanwa will not charge with even a simple tpu case, panasonic has weak detection, luckly my DoCoMo works very good.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
I tend to agree with you. And, while my NFC receiver is bulky, it is much better than the oem charging case since it is more flexible with cases. I use two styles of cases and the charging back fails with the second due to thickness. Such a nice feeling back, though. Good for use with a bumper.

Recommended Charger pad and Receiver

I went to Amazon and got the Ultra-thin Qi charging receiver card coil by Fonesalesman, and the Koolpad Qi wireless Charger Pad, and they are great! I bought two pads, one for home and one for work, and the phone gets warm, but not hot, so as not to possibly damage the phone innards. The charging time is not as fast as the usb3 micro cable, but it fully charges in 4 to 5 hours. I highly recommend it. The Receiver works with NFC also.
