I just took off the blue wrapper jacket from the outside (both sides), inside there was a copper coil stuck to black plastic.. is that the insulation you talking about? I left that black plastic the way it is attached to the copper coil.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
Yeah, it's heat protection, this is what I didn't want to remove so you are fine m8 cool.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
I only see bared chip behind the blue wrapper on mine, but it doest bother me enough to remove that, I was expecting the bulge and it's thinner than I expected so no complaints here.

2 days with mine and it's working pretty well. Initially I thought of double siding it on the back door, but it made more sense attaching it to the battery. I tried taking pictures but there really wasn't much to show a it was so subtle it wasn't noticeable in pictures. I would recommend getting the insert style over the OEM one. If you plan on using a case, if not, either of is fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
Hmm, now I'm thinking of getting a qi battery pack. Take it on the go and set it down at the table and charge if I need.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
Thats the right way to do it.. i have four wirless charging pad's. They are placed at locations (mostly out of sight, but within easy reach) where i usually spend more time.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
I think he's talking about something a little different. A backup battery with built in wireless charging. This the links below:

http://www.amazon.com/High-Capacity...r=8-8&keywords=Anker+6000mAh+wireless+charger

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1630072402&pf_rd_i=507846

I'm considering the Anker model. They make good mobile battery chargers and this model is said to be very efficient compared to others.

You can get the other model for under $50 from some Chinese websites, if your willing to wait 2 weeks or so for delivery (search for 6000mAh wireless charger and you should find the link).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
Howly cow.. I never knew something like this existed.. you guys are making me throw away my money. after getting half a dozen of accessories i was done, but now this one. I am so drooling. I want one!!

I already have a 11000mAH external battery.. but the QI capable is so tempting. there goes another half a hundred dollars.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
I know the feeling... it's a disease I tell you.

I keep telling myself I don't really need it or that I could got a bigger mobile charger for less money. But I still covet one of these.

There is this unique thing about LuguLake charger is the non-slippery thing... that does not allow the phone to slide when out driving our on a trip.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xutTrB5J4E

I think i am on a research spree.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
I've seen that when I was looking for my regular qi charging pad. But I'm going to shop around for a bit and see what's reasonably priced but LuguLake does seem like a good brand. Post back here if I find something worthy.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
Just saw a youtube video on anker, the charger is pretty glossy hence the reviewer was complaining about scratches, glossy and acrylic, means slippery.. also the power jack does not sit flush.. it tends to slip out.

I think LuguLake is a better choice out there. But i think i will wait a bit.. i am sure in few weeks we might see more powerful chargers coming out based on QI. something thats around 10000mAH
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] droidkevlar:
You can use the 30% off coupon for Tmobile and get the TYLT charger for under $50. Thats what I did.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:
You are "sure in few weeks we might see" wireless charging more than 20 times faster than now, and as soon as a few weeks?

I admire your optimism, and want some of what you're smoking!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
10000mAH's has nothing to do with the speed, its the capacity. The Anker and Lugulake batteries are already upto a capacity of around 6000mAH's.. i dont see a big deal with adding another 4000mAh's of capacity.

I already have a battery pack that has 11000 mAH's capacity.

On a side note, there is some update on wireless charging technology, although its an year old video.. but looks like soon we will see some major change in the way we charge our phones.

Did you order your Qi receiver from Docooler on Amazon (blue card) ? If so, I ordered the same one and couldn't get it to the work either. Mine also said S4+ and S4-, FWIW
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
I added a few more links to the previous link. There are some chargers that are identical to the LugaLake. IO don't knowfor sure if they have the sticky top, but would guess they do.I'm Sure LuguLake is just re-branded model 1688.

Also the guy in the review video for the LuguLake is using a Nexus 4 with a "glass" back (don't think it real glass but close) that will be much more grippy than our Note 3. I just don't think it going to be as grippy as you think. one of those sticky pad they sell should give you a similar or better result.

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=sticky pad

Don' know LuguLake, but i do know Anker and they make great mobile battery packs that test very well are are highly efficient compared to most. Basically I trust Anker more. Though the 1688 under $50 makes for a tempting option.

There are other differences like the Anker having two USB ports with a max out put of 2Amps over three ports (2 USB 1 wireless), battery efficiency... There are just a lot of factors to consider.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:
OK, I get it now. When I read "more powerful chargers" I thought you were talking about the charging pads (transmitters), not the external power packs that can be recharged wirelessly in order to recharge another battery.

I've seen so many people questioning qi charging rates that I let myself see that as 10000mA/H
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
Ah, I was just about to order the blue pad sold on Amazon by Docooler but I'm hesitant given the comments above

has anyone tried the yellow on Amazon, it's actually a little cheaper than the blue one
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:
This is exactly the one I have for my Note 3 and it works fine. Just press the contacts on the insert FIRMLY against the upper 2 contacts of the group of 3 just left of the battery. When they went into place it felt different than when I started. Some people mentioned that the contacts of their inserts were too close together and they had to split the plastic and spread the contacts a little, but I don't know if they had the Docooler insert.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
I'm waiting this one

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qi-Wireless-Charger-PAD-Samsung-Receiver-10000mAh-Battery-/310765270887

And my plan is to have it glued or stitched in my back bag, so whenever I put my phone in the front pocket of the bug without doing anything it will charge. I know it will be tricky to find the sweet spot to make it work but I like this challenges.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
Yeah that's identical to the one of the ones I linked too.

If you going to do that I would stitch in an elastic pocket so you can have access to the two additional USB ports (for charging more that one device or charging at a faster rate than wireless), and so you can remove it as need be.

Update: Found that 10,000mAh Wireless charger on DelaExtreme for $37.10. I have delt with DX several times in the past.

http://dx.com/p/mocreo-qi-enabled-w...50618?tc=USD&gclid=COng5ea5u7oCFUPl7AodlEMAWw

At 10,000mAh that one seem like a good buy for the buck. I'm a little Leary of the capacity claims of some of these Chinese manufactures. Still that model has peaked my interest because of the extra capacity.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
You know the joke is that all this devices charge from usb at 450ma and from QI at 640ma I don't believe it's sammy specific, I also ordered a usb

http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-car-wal...b-GT-P6800-7-7-Verizon-SCH-I815-/190677630730

and with it I will take the full 2A output of the powerbank if I need it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:
When I ordered the Docooler insert the delivery was estimated to be 24 to 43 days out but it arrived in 11.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
Can you verify that? 450ma from a USB? Is that if you were plugged into the computer usb? I've used apps that monitor charge and discharge voltage and I've seen 900+ma on a USB, wall outlet of course. Unless I'm misreading what you're saying.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
I speak for normal PC usb outlet and not usb charger
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
Gotcha.

Just looked at the Anker model you guys posted and that looks sweet, but $70 is steep! I'd like something a little less expensive, although the battery pack is 'future proof' already so it wouldn't be like I'd have to get a new one with every phone. Hmm decisions.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
W8 a bit till I receive the battery bank with qi that I posted above to see how it goes, if at least has the half of output and QI I think it's decent price
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:
The Tylt in this thread IS a Qi charging stand.

Maybe you're thinking of one of their other accessories.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Roundtableprez:
Did anyone actually purchase a qi adaptor? Do they really break the nfc?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] droidkevlar:
TYLT is a charger. It is not a battery pack. It is used with a Qi receiver you must add to your phone and the TYLT will then charge your phone. It is one of the best out there. Pricey, but with the 30% off, it is amazing.

Here it is on T-mobile (fallfun30 code still works as of a few moments ago):

I understand the caution with batteries. A little research and you can find decent cheap batteries. There are several that have been used by people on these boards without issue. I often use the 50% code to get Samsung OEM batteries at a reasonable price, but wouldn't hesitate to buy Anker batteries if the price a right.

I got in my wireless charging car dock today from ebay.

The dock is "Qi Wireless Car Charger Pad Charging Transmitter For Nokia Lumia 920 820 BC250" that I saw mentioned in either this thread or the car dock thread.

----Pros----

- Wireless charging seems to be working with the official charging back. (I haven't gone on any long trips to test charge rate yet)

- Fits the note 3. All arms on the dock go out far enough and the parts that hold don't interfere with the buttons

- It seems easy to put the phone in and take it out.

- Came with a 2A car charger

---Cons---

- Not as solid as the other dock I have. Seems a little shaky while driving

In addition to the dock I bought a bluetooth adapter. I didn't want bluetooth on the phone on all the time, so I found an app called "Bluetooth Auto Connect". in this program I set it to turn on bluetooth when the screen turns on or when it starts charging. I also set the program to turn off bluetooth when disconnected from a bluetooth device for over a minute. This seems to work well and bluetooth auto connects as soon as i place it in the dock.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
I was the one who bought it and I can say it's great, yes it doesn't feel so secure but I use it in my motorbike with no problems 10 days now but to be more sure I cuted a bit the 2 flaps top and bottom to make a stop grip because in the start I had a bumber, now with the Spigen neo is total secure, it even had rain ones but nothing bad happened. Also I took out the side grip.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
Well what we're referring to if you've been following is that we're discussing qi enabled battery packs. TYLT only has a qi pad or a battery pack. Not the 2 combined.

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

Though I will add this about the TYLT qi pad, it's at an angle which makes for ease of use while charging compared to the flat designs.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
The original reference to Tylt was the Vu not battery packs. It is an ongoing discussion. I am waiting for mine from TM.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
Guys I just received this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qi-Standard...-SAMSUNG-Galaxy-Note-3-Note-III-/151136534238 and I replaced the previous moded note2 receiver that I had in phone the one that I had made the QI video the 1st days the phone released.

I can say that is much better in phone, I only took out the one plastic advertisement that was facing the backplate and it was glued to the backplate. The bulge is nothing and the phone is almost flat. With the note2 receiver it was thicker but this one is great and also the coil is positioned in the center of the phone now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
I'm curious as to why this design uses 3 pins
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] keynith:
It only needs two pins to work. It shouldn't effect it and if it does ill just cut the third pin off
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
My guess is that since the phone has the pins (that is what I really wonder about), they made the receiver with the pins so people would buy them assuming they are more correct and they will sell better.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
The 3rd one I thought was for the sview but I've seen sview with 2 pins. So now I'm thoroughly confused. But at the same I wonder if there are negative effects to having the 3rd pin in that design.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
QI uses the 1st which is the + and second which is the ground, the sview uses the 2nd and the 3nd which is the sview signal. Both things needs ground that's why it's common.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kudosmog:
from my understanding, wireless charging uses top two pins. Top pin is positive, middle pin is ground.

Sview uses bottom two pins.

They share the ground pin.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
Ah, I see. So the receiver with 3 pins is connecting to the sview as well. But will that potentially cause some drain to the battery?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] keynith:
Ill test it when i get mine and if it does ill cover the third pin with tape :)

Update: got my insert and it works! And it works with my spigen case as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
That's good to know.

Side note, anyone know how sturdy these chips are? With the Spigen Neo and sometimes pressure, I wonder if they'll get pressed too hard or something.

I got the receiver + pad combo and then a separate pad.

So far so good. I dont really notice a bulge with the battery cover and my seidio surface case still fits. I have to place the phone slightly off the bottom edge for the charging to occur.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:
These receiver inserts were used for the Note 2 and the S4 (at least) and I never heard anyone talk about them being damaged like that.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] polo2883:
Using Galaxy Charging current lite it shows that the charging current is 680. The 2amp charger typically shows 1800

If you are charging at night you dont have to worry. The phone is fully charged 0 to 100% in less than 5 hrs.

Since i have started wirelessly charging with pads around my office and house the battery never dropped below 60%
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] krelvinaz:
I charge when I am sleeping with the wire and it is always 100% when I get up. With my older phone, I had to charge during the day at my desk or it would be in the 20's when I start to head home. This phone is much better than that, I think the lowest when I am leaving is near 50%.... but

I never know when I might get called out and have to really use my phone, so having a pad at my desk means it is topping off while I set there and forgetting to plug in is not really an issue. Just sit it on the pad and work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
Thats exactly what i do. I have a TYLT at my work desk, which acts like a dock to place my phone and charges the phone while i am working wirelessly, each time i get up and walk around meetings or meeting other colleagues i come back to my place and instead of struggingling to find the wires and charging ports, i throw my phone on the tylt and it starts charging. At home, i have one pad on the bed side, two on the living room.. while sitting around i put the phone on one of the pads thats the nearest and the charging is always on.

Have a profile on tasker to turn of various things etc when the battery reaches 20%, but never got a chance to test it, cos the battery never went down below 60%

Although i have one greievence, the NFC has become flaky now. The NFC tag does not work in one go while tapping the phone on the tag. it literally requires multiple passes and moving the phone around for the nfc to work.

I am not sure how other members have their NFC working without the nfc signal this going flaky.

Here someone i confirming why the QI receivers will interfere with the Note 3 NFC.

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/blog/2013/10/how-to-add-wireless-charging-to-your-note-3/
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
NFC is built into the Note 3 battery. The wireless charging receiver covers the NFC chip, so it's not so surprising that there may be interference. When I asked about this those with the pad states that their NFC still worked. So I'll find out once my receiver arrives.
