That's about the same angle as the Tylt Vu.

I ordered a Vu yesterday and I'm sure I'll like it, but I'd like it more of the angle were adjustable.

I didn't notice any 50% off from tmobile.

When i checked there the best I saw online was 30% off, or the full price on the store ($60).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
TM was 35% off w/free shipping. I got everything for 52.86 but that was a while ago. I tried to grab another one yesterday from TYLT but it wasn't worth the headache.

Hey tylt vu owners and prospective owners,

I just received my replacement tylt vu in the mail today directly from tylt and I'm sad to say it has the same issue as the original one I received from T-mobile 2 weeks back. The issue I had was that at about 97% charge the Vu would start to cycle on and off. This would cause the little popup screen indicating wireless charging and a minor vibration to occur. I find that it happens about every minute at 97% and more frequently as the charge increases. The problem with this is that as a night stand it is quite annoying for the phone to be flashing at me while I try to sleep and it takes much longer to finish charging when reaching the end. Hope no others experience this (though I know a few others have), but I thought I'd share my experience.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
I posted the same when my replacement arrived a couple of weeks ago. I'm waiting for a "revised" edition. Let them know.

What is the average charging rate that everyone is getting ?

Mine is like around 9-10 % / Hr with China made coils and charger from ebay
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
1%=5 minutes

---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

it's a very good quality product, but there are a few things you need to know, this charger is very picky on which receiver it will work with, and it will not charge through any case, even my normal cheap tpu case, the phone will not charge.

The phone is totally silence, and since it has 7 built in coil, it's a free positioning charger, operates totally cool and stops charging at 100%, although the charger does indicate it's still on with the LED, but the phone shows no indication it's still charging.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
Thx m8... i dont buy it since i use pretty thick leather case ....

I dont get the question... no matter what charger or coil phone gets 640ma
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
yeh, 640 mAh is the max you will get with the note 3, but the % is like 5minutes to charge 1%.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] misslovanu:
Just as an FYI, the Sprint store has buy two, get one free on Samsung branded items. Was able to get the wireless pad, back cover and battery charger with the promo.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
My phone is possessed...

Phone sitting on the Vu charger untouched and screen off with Screen Filter. Screen comes on, orientation changes from portrait to landscape and then back. Untouched. What could cause that? Anyone?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
I think it's compatiblilty between transmitter and receiver, I have many transmitters and receivers, some of them will work with all, some will work with a few, and some will not work.

Another thing to note, a standing/vertical transmitter is best to contain at least 3 coils or upto 7 coils to accommodate the use for different phones for different height, for the VU I think it only has 1 coil, please correct me if i'm wrong.

Yeah I believe the vu has three.

sent from my sm-9005.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aalupatti:
Thanks

[/QUOTE]

yes the chargers provide 640 but then the quality of the charger and the coils determine how fast the charging happens

If it were 640ma then it should fully charging from 0 to 100 in around 5 hours.... But most people are getting much less slower rates

I might just go back for a few extra items. I originally wanted the Tylt for my office but couldn't order online due to the issues on Cyber-Monday. I might still get it once I hopefully get an email confirmation of honoring the discount.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
Well no, I have 5 wireless chargers including Nokia DT900, 2 cheap QI mini, a powerbank with QI and another one no name, when the connection is OK with the phone the phone shows that is getting 640ma no matter what pad I put. Also my timings in charging are same.

People getting different times to charge because not all phones are equal as matter software, a guy that puts his phone in airplane mode and charges during sleep time off course he charges faster than another guy who has everything on because during charging the phone consumes power. When you charge with cable because the output is 1.8A you don't get too much charging difference but with the 640ma it's crucial.

I thought all people in the thread knew that.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
^^^^^ And if your like me and has a tylt vu with cycling issues that last 3% takes ages to finish up.

Edit: got me thinking though, if you notice that when the screens on while charging via oem cable the rate will drop from 1.8ah to 1.2ah but it doesn't drop with wireless charging so does that mean that the phones actually drawing more than .64ah and only charging at .64ah? Thoughts? Might run a test to see how much charging rate differs wireless with the screen on and without.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] vikramdhani:

Looks like I killed my receiver. I installed a new SD card and after putting the receiver back it won't charge. I've tried numerous things with it with no help.

Which new receiver would you recommend I get? I really appreciate your help.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
Did you bend it or something? If I remember correctly you had the white one with the tick. If so I'm just curious how it broke since I have the same one.. just something I can remember to avoid. BTW still loving it, have not had a single issue with NFC and always grabs a charge easily.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Also, those of you with receivers that work well with the Vu, I would appreciate hearing from you. I'm presently looking for the new receiver. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

I guess. The issue is that the little nubs that used to stay in the holes, now won't stay. Tape, adjustment, etc., nothing is working. Honestly a bit confused. It's been a great receiver so far, and I know this is my fault. :(

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
Sorry to hear that. Ya thats the same one I have, didn't ever strip off layers though. I too am curious if anyone's had success with other receivers with the Vu. They let me keep my replacement one they sent me as well as my original so now I have two slightly dysfunctional Vu's. NFC and minimal bulge are a must for me though.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
I have two dysfuntional Vus, too. The one they sent me didn't work as well for me as the original. I'm wondering now if it's anything to do with the receiver. Not bad so far, but maybe it is a conflict between the Vu and the receiver. We both have issues and the same receiver. This is why I want to hear from happy Vu owners and what receiver they use.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
RIP

I will only recommend a receiver that contains a copper coil, and not the flexi coil that everyone want with the ultra thin receiver.

My supplier suggested me a particular one, it's not a ultra thin one, but about 0.1-0.2mm thicker than the ultra thin one's, I will be picking a few up in the next few days, will be back in china on the 8th, I will also see what's newly available, will post some pic on the day, so if you can hold out a few day, i'll let you know.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Thanks. So you don't recommend any of the current ones on ebay or Amazon? I was hoping to get something ordered by tomorrow since it will take a while to get here.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
The one I recommend is by powerqi, there are some on ebay, I just want to see if there are new one's available.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
Do you know if the oem samsung receivers are copper coil or flex coil? Family member tested his on my vu and said he had the same issues.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
it's a copper coil, I think the issues is with the vu, as always the first batch is good, to reduce cost, they use cheaper material and components.

I could be wrong, but as many people are having problems with them, and you can see amazon and ebay, there are hundreds available.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Thanks. I'll get something short term and also take a look at your goodies. I have a feeling I'm going to be hard on receivers and I'm positive I don't want the oem charging back.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Just received 1 of the 2 new toys today.

The charger is branded NTT Docomo, which is a japanese telecom service provider, although it's branded NTT Docomo, it's actually made by sanyo, the built quality is excellent, the only two thing you will notice from the charger base out of the package, it uses a AC adapter 12V at 650mAh, and a button on the top, this button is a test/reset button to position the coil if it goes out of position (my guess).

When connected you will notice 5 LED position along the left side, at first I though the actual charger contains 5 coils for multi point positioning, infact it contain a motorized coil, the coil inside the charger moves up/down/left/right when it senses qi receiver on the base, the LED shows the position of the coil from top to bottom, but does not indicate the position left or right.

You can see from the photo's below the phone is position in different locations of the base, and the LED is position near the phone's center area.

At first use it detects my phone pretty well, even my ipod touch 5 has problems with some of my other qi chargers, this one works without any problem.

Some people will remember the panasonic QE-TM101, well this charger is a smaller version of that, infact it's made by the same company, panansonc acquire sanyo a few years back.

For comparision, this is the panasonic QE TM101

Nah.. you just have to think outside the box.

Then you can update the website with the details and a discussion can follow on the thread about what you posted..

:D

OMG, I just spent the past few hours reading this entire thread. I agree with the above poster, I'm more confused than ever. Just when I thought I had read about the thinnest, NFC-compatible, charging receiver, a new product's name was mentioned or someone complained about flaky charging or a bulge in the cover (back to square one).

So which is the recommended model for a user looking for the thinnest receiver (no bulge, maintaining ability to use factory battery cover and aftermarket case) that preserves NFC functionality, preferably without modification like peeling or removing stickers and foils? Price is not a factor, I just want the right one that will work "out of the box."
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Apparently the answer is none.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BMWBig6:
So all of them are compromises and none are perfect? All I was able to deduce so far is that blue is bad, white is maybe, black with NFC contacts has a thick microchip at the top by the camera.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aalupatti:
I have blue. .. worked for charging and not out of box. There was a minimal bulge. Went ahead and removed the covering and now no one can say I have it in there.

The best one fpr u would be to get the original Samsung charging back cover which is only around 39$ in sprint store
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
every receiver is a mix bag, but all will produce a bulge on the back cover, but it depends one how much bulge you can accept, for me any bulge is acceptable, for some even the tiniest bugle is the end of the world. there are some that has a bulge but very minimal but it's there.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
I ate my words and ordered an oem charging back from Samsung. Was able to use my 50% coupon. At least now, until I find a great receiver, I'll have the back. I ordered one of the NFC receivers but I haven't had either item ship yet. I'll feel lucky to be charging wireless before xmas.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I can't use the Samsung one because it won't fit my case anymore with the thicker battery cover.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] eversavage:
I read the entire thread.. OMG what a read..

I haven't received my note 3 yet but i'm looking at Qi and cases for my new phone..

i ordered 3 of the nokia dt-600 base from att for 60 ish.. i figure i'll have one on my night stand, one at work and the 3rd as a gift for my brother who just bought the nexus 5.

for the receiver I'll order the black one ebay one that says NFC on it.

with my current phone i take the back cover off often to swap out batteries.. so i'll have to find a case i covert into hold the receiver with out the note3 back cover. so i can swap out batteries faster..

who knew qi was such a pain...

I'm ordered the kit there day after black Friday for 25 percent off and received it 3 days later. Very happy with my purchase.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
there's not much difference. you would probably need a digital scale or triple beam to find the not very noticeable difference. the s charging cover is very light. the added thickness will be very noticeable though and you will need a bumper type case and the options for bumpers are very limited.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BMWBig6:
I'm trying to decide between this black one (with "Support NFC" label) and the white one that others have had success with (thin and seems to support NFC even if not natively). Are you worried about the thick microchip on the black NFC one causing a bulge near the camera?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
I am but I think it's a better receiver. If the bulge is terrible I'll go back the the thin one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
I received the black with NFC and is working fine but it's less powerful, it doesn't have copper coil that's why, in Nokia dt900 I'm unable to position the phone and pad closes, I have the slim armor.

With the white all working no matter what case I put on, it works even with a fat leather portfolio case.

Receiever stopped working

Hey, my receiver just stopped working as well. Mine is peeled. Why do you think the peeling should cause it to stop working. All I did was take of the sticky tape on all side, it shouldn't harm it in any way AFAIK.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Vulpix:
Hey guys, just an update on the heating issue. After swapping to the NFC+Qi combo unit, the charging no longer becomes hot after the note 3 is fully charged. It's a lot cooler than the old thin one I had.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
My reference to the peeling is because I knew I would bend or damage the receiver in the process of moving it around for placement. When I put in my new SD that did it. I won't peel again unless I have to.

Question, Do these work over a case?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] krelvinaz:
They have to be installed inside on the back of the phone. The cover would then be closed after you installed it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:
Read back through this thread and you'll find a link to a video by BlueChris showing how the inserts attach inside the phone. He modified an insert made for the Note 2 to work in the Note 3. I'm waiting till there are several reviews of the one made for Note 3 & sold on Amazon, and maybe more brands to bring the price down.

With the inserts made for the S4, there were issues with fit, some/most create enough of a bulge in the back of the case to seriously limit the choice of cases.

Of course the Samsung charging back will prevent using almost any case, but a bumper may be acceptable.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:
That's all you need.

I have the LG WCP-300 charging pad, got it from a Verizon store for $39.99 + tax. It worked great with my Nexus 4 and Galaxy S4, in a car mount, but it's pretty small. I tested it with a Nexus 7 and had to balance the tablet on it. For charging the Note 3 I'll get the Samsung pad, the Tylt, or maybe the Nokia DT910. Those last 2 hold the phone upright, but some reviewers on Amazon report trouble getting the larger phones to line up & charge properly on the DT910. My local T-Mobile store sells them, so maybe I can try one when I get a Qi receiver for my Note 3.
