Samsung has released pictures of a flip cover with wireless charging built in.

I'm more concerned about the non-flip cover with wireless. Adding the receiver coil to the back increases the thickness of the back. On the S4 that means most cases won't fit with the OEM wireless charging cover. Using a third party Qi adapter inside the standard back causes a slight bulge that also interferes with fit of many hard cases because there isn't enough room inside the cover.

I think the S3 and Note 2 may have had a little more spare room inside than the S4. Because of the designers pushing for ever thinner phones we'll probably have the same sort of issue with the Note 3.

Slightly off-topic, I have the OEM Qi charging back cover for the S4 and I like the way it protects the camera. The standard back lets the camera lens touch the table when you lay it down, and I got a minor scratch in the first few minutes I had my S4. Once I changes to the Qi charging back the camera was recessed just enough for protection.

Wireless charging is not as fast as wired. Most devices limit the charge rate to keep heat down.

By default my Note 2 charged at 466mA. After installing the Saber kernel it's reading a charge rate of 999mA.

It's a convenience device best for overnight charging and keeping your charge levels up while at work. If your battery is really low and you need a quick charge before heading out, plug it in. My battery rarely gets that low.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] skadude66:
Thanks for the info!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
I added some info to my previous post. Sometimes you can up the charging rate via a custom kernel. Still wired charging will always be faster.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] skadude66:
Awesome thanks!

How thick is the charging base? I've gotten rid of my alarm clock and have my phone sitting in one of my Wii U gamepad cradles, I'm wondering if there might be enough room in the cradle for the pad and my phone at the same time.

Dont mind using ebay, but are these the same?

http://www.amazon.com/Docooler-Standard-Wireless-Charging-Receiver/dp/B00FTULQJU/ref=pd_cp_cps_0

http://www.ebay.com/itm/131015696933#shpCntId

Love using Amazon if possible. And would get it quicker too.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
They look like and very likely are the same.

I originally ordered the one from Amazon, but the delivery time was something like 4 to 6 weeks out so I canceled and ordered from eBay. The eBay delivery time was closer to 1.5 to 2 weeks.

I'd go with e bay.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] droidkevlar:
Didnt notice that. 17-28 days. PASS. Thanks for the heads up on that. ebay here I come.

Got the TYLT charger for 30% off from Tmobile with free shipping and then the $10.99 Qi receiver from ebay....cant wait....I felt like I was going back to VHS tech when I got this phone since I used wireless charging since I had the N4...thanks for the all the info guys.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] polo2883:
I dont know if they are the same but I ordered mine from the ebay site. I ordered it on the 11th and I have not received it yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] daryldc1991:
Thanks for the tip. I will remember that when it finally arrives. It's showing as shipped but the delivery date is 3 weeks away. Crazy!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] fryingpan0613:
Has anyone tried this with a case? Right now I'm using a body glove and I'm waiting on a slim Armor case. If I have to take off my case it's pointless for me to order one.

My Note 2 has a case similar to this one and it charges fine with my Nokia QI charger.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/for-Samsung...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item5d44a6b068

Most cases shouldn't be a problem unless it's VERY thick or is made of metal/has metal in the area of the charger. Something like a those THICK Otterbox cases may keep wireless charging from working.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] twe90kid:
bookmarked. want to see if anyone order this!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:
If I remember right the range of Qi charging is 5 mm.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
M8 I had replied that again but Ok.

I have 5 cases from simple bumber to Spigen neon also flip covers plastic and leather and it charges with everything fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
What about it is official? By that I mean official Samsung? Samsung doesn't make an insert, only the back cover wireless receiver. And pad.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] keynith:
Waiting for my amazon order. Should be here next month. Oh well it was cheap.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
He's talking about the QI charging base. It looks very similar if not identical to the official Samsung wireless charging base. That's what he was saying.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xdm9mm:
To those using the qi receivers with white front and black back and no NFC contacts, does that particular receiver create any bulge specially just below the camera? I have the Fonesalesman qi receiver with NFC but it makes a bulge on the cover below the camera which is annoying. I am looking for an alternative.... thanks

Tylt VU QI

Anyone use Tylt VU QI charger? Have you compared it with another unit?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kjinmn:
There are probably 50 posts in this thread on Tylt VU. Most seem to think it works well, but some say it is kind of spendy for what it is.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] johnny13oi:
For those that are using the thin stick on coil with nfc support ... could you please let me know what software reports the battery temperature as while it has been on the qi charger for a while. I am just concern with the extra heat produced causing for the life of the battery to deteriorate.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Leo1311:
Thank´s, I'll look for these posts.

Do you have Xposed installed? Try "Cool Tool" module.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SladeZero:
I have been using mine for about a week now... along with Battery Monitor free version.

The hottest it gets is 93degrees F... not C. I don't use Celsius. The phone charges at about 800mA through most of the night. AND once it gets to about 90% it drops to about 400MA and then turns its self off once its full... doesn't really trickle charge or anything. Kinda surprised it works that well... was very skeptical. I think the hottest my phone has been was 98F... but I was not charging I was playing Thor.

At first I used to watch it on the monitor ever hour. Now, I sleep peacefully and let it do its thing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] scoobmd:
I was thinking of getting this Qi charger or the Powerbot Blaine07 posted.

Do you have a case on your phone? I read that an Otterbox case does allow a consistent charge- I am looking into getting the Defender.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
I have tried it against others and prefer it when I need a stand. I got it on sale 1/2 half off and worth every penny. If I needed another stand type qi, I would buy another. The Vu and the 3-coil charger are my two favorites. I got a Nokia DT-900 because it was on sale for $12.25 and don't like it at all. I keep it in a less-used location.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SladeZero:
Yes I have Spigen Neo Hybrid. Very very small bulge where the NFC chip is... you can't see it until you set it on its back ... rocks just a small amount. Charges the same with or without case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DrPhant0m:
I got the Choetech T513 based on a recommendation that I saw a week ago or so in this thread.

Today was the first day that I've used it at work. I put my phone on it (blue LED came on), and when it got to about 98% battery level, it seemed like the charger would turn off (LED turned off), my phone would wake up, and then charging would start again (LED came on)... and would repeat this cycle about every 30 seconds. I picked the phone up a few times, and even switched from a Monoprice 2A charger to a 1A charger that came with my Note 3 extra battery charging kit. Same issue.

Is anyone else seeing this behavior?

It seems like my phone is saying "OK, I've had enough charging" and ending the charge connection, which is then re-activated within seconds, only for my phone to say it's had its fill again. Weird.

I really don't want it to do this. I don't mind so much at work, since the phone is in plain view, and I can take the phone off the plate when I see it start to cycle like this. However, I'm curious if this same thing is happening while I'm charging my phone at home while I sleep.

Also... it seems like the micro USB cable doesn't stick in all the way, as it easily falls out. I'm using an OEM samsung cable.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
I think you have the information mixed up, it's the T300 that is highly recommended, and not the T513, I think only one person purchased this, but has not reported back yet.

what receiver do you have, it's more likely a compatiblity issue with the receiver and transmitter, or it's affected by a case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BunnyPig:
I've been looking for a charging kit for my note 3, I have found some interesting things but I can't find a good car dock for wireless charging! I've looked through the thread but didn't find any good ones (might be poor searching but I think I've done it right). I have seen the Airdock wireless car charger but I must say, I don't trust the whole magnet thing. I had a case which had a magnet in it (to hold the lid closed) and it really messed up my phone. The Stylus pen couldn't locate my movements and it just seemed to mess up my phone.

So any good car docks out there? I've tried google as well but can't find anything. Might be me just sucking big time on searching the internet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
In china, probably the most well known brand chargers are the yijieneng and powerqi, their chargers are all over china, taobao, yahoo, amazon and ebay using different names, as long as you place a order with them (minimum order quantity) you can have them rebranded, those names on amazon are just the sellers name, as for the T300, powerqi are the orginal designer and manufacturer, those sold on amazon and ebay are just the users name used in the market as oem/odm, they are not clones, although I have seen fakes in china, the mudder one's are just users name, those are original.

As I did point out in one of my post, 3 coils does not mean it's better, not all of them are equal.

Shenzhen Yabo Power Technology Co. Ltd, a company using the name choetech in the international market, is the original company behind the T513, on their product list they also have product which are made from powerqi and yijieneng.

I myself have many chargers from 1 coil, 3 coils and 7 coils charger, and i'm finding that a few of my 1 coil charger work better than the 7 coils, whiles the T300 being one of the best 3 coils chargers available.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xdm9mm:
To those people who are wondering if the Powerbot PB1140-N3 bought for $8.99 from amazon. is thin, yes it is. It is the same as the $14.99 Fonesalesman Qi receiver.

The coil area is as thin as x2 xerox papers, but the thickest part (apparently 0.5mm) is the top of the receiver which has the IC. This causes the original back cover to bulge a little bit and is very obvious below the camera.

It works with my Nokia DT900 Qi pad, and charges as fast as the fone salesman brand (I will update this post as necessary)

I have peeled off both sides to see how it looked.

Pics:

I did put back the sticker (right side of the photo) because it looks like a heat absorbing pad. It doesn't really add much thickness anyway.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DrPhant0m:
Thanks for the info... PowerQi is a wholesaler, and they offer rebranding services. Makes sense, though as a typical American... I wonder why they let others put another name on their good product. Haha. Also, I still dont get why there are no reviews on the products at amazon. Can you link me to one? Maybe I'm missing it.

So... back to the issue I was having with the screen off/on thing... is that expected? Does it happen with other chargers?

Finally... and this is a different topic... out of curiosity, I installed CoolTool to try to glimpse my battery stats, and the current flow is a constant 0mA. I installed "Battery Monitor Widget" by 3c from the play store (1M+ downloads) and get the same thing. Is there a problem with current reporting on the verizon note 3?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] scoobmd:
I just got the exact same set up as you today on Amazon.

It's working great so far.

I tried Battery Monitor free but just found Gsam Battery Monitor that looks a little better with tons of battery usage stats and if I decide to support the developer, it's only $1.99 for this app.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Both powerbot and fonesalesman's receiver are made by powerqi, it's just rebadged.

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

powerqi is the manufacturer and distributor, if you order like 1000 or more you have the option to put your name or company name, this is totally normal, thats how they make money by selling in large quantites.

check this site www.alibaba.com or aliexpress.com , with larger quantities you can name it what ever you want.

As for review, I don't really trust amazon, if you have time, look into the note 2 wireless charging thread, comments and review on XDA are more trust worthy.

About your problem, as said it could be compatibility between the receiver and transmitter, also try to use a 2 mAh power supply, prefer the one that is supplied with the phone, do not rely on those power supply which are sold on amazon, ebay or online store claiming to be oem samsung brand, the one's that came with the note 3 or S5 can not be purchased individually, only from official samsung service center (repair center) or with the phone.

BTW What receiver are you using.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SladeZero:
I think it charges rather fast... i was expecting slow charges because it was wireless... but the charger can charge up to 900mA. I do know it is a one coil charger... you have to set it in the right place or it doesn't click on.... not entirely surprised... I knew what I was getting.

Any one have a link for the T300? Im confused on who makes the product and where it sells... want to get a 3 coil charger for my desk. This is what i get in Amazon when I search it:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=qi charger T300
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xdm9mm:
The Nokia D900 has 3 coils. And they are cheap when on sale. At the moment, you can buy them for $24.99 from AT&T
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bobturismo:
Please keep us updated on the magnetic car mount. Ive started to do a lot of driving around for work and would love to just toss my note on a car mount and have wireless charging without taking my phone out of its case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] johnny13oi:
I saw in a review for the galaxy s 4 version of the qi receiver pad that looks to be the same manufacturer as the powerqi and the fonesalesman one that you can remove the foil stickers on the front and back to make it thinner and possibly have better reception.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlXeTs8dgiE

Has anyone tried this? And what are the foil papers there for?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SladeZero:
Probably heat reduction... I think of it as adding friction for the magnetic waves. They are there for a reason... I wouldnt remove them.

EDIT: But then again... I am same person who added an external antenna to my Belkin ipod transmitter because the small wire they used in the inside was not powerful enough. I do like to make products better but often make them non-fcc complaint afterwards.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DrPhant0m:
I have the fonesalesman wireless charging receiver in my Note 3... and the bulky part is the IC chip. Even that creates such a slight deformation just below the camera (which bulges out anyway), that I really don't notice, unless I'm rubbing the back of the phone trying to tell if there's a bulge.

There are little plastic pegs formed into the back that keep the SIM and SD card from wiggling out. Those stick off the back further than my wireless charging receiver, which I have taped in place to the back.

Maybe if you keep your phone naked you'd notice the bulge occasionally... but if that's the case, buy the OEM wireless charging back from Samsung to get the smooth OEM look. In my case, I have a really tight-fitting case (Seidio Dilex), and the OEM charging back was too thick for the case to fit, but the fonesalesman receiver taped into the stock back works just fine with no hint of a bulge or anything.

I wouldn't modify the receiver, since the coils are probably pretty delicate, and as SladeZero mentioned... they serve a purpose.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dalastone:
How hot are the temps you all are seeing?? I first got the choetech kit which worked fine, but I was concerned about the heat. the phone/screen got very warm. battery temp showed 103F. I then got the Samsung OEM kit, and it too gets warm, up to 102F. when charging via the cable/AC the temp only goes to 93-95. Is the 100+ temps via wireless excessive? hate to think I'm cooking my phone/battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DrPhant0m:
I've got the CHOETECH Stadium (3-coil) available on Amazon. I'm currently using the OEM 2A charger that came with my phone....

Prior to setting my phone down on the charger, using Cool Tool, the battery read 80*F (I'm just listening to an audiobook with the screen off)

(By the time I finished writing this post, the temp was 86*F)

98*F by the time I left for lunch about 20min later. I'll keep an eye on the temps after lunch. I don't think I've seen it go above 100*

***UPDATE*** I left the phone on the charger all afternoon, with a few breaks... and it never went above 98*F

As an aside... is anyone able to get a reading on the battery mA (current flow)? Mine always says 0. I'd like to get Cool Tool to work, since it integrates into the statusbar via xposed framework mods.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Sheeezy:
Can you somehow enhance the charging speed ?

Because mine charges with about 600mah and this is really slow.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DrPhant0m:
How/where are you seeing the current flow rate (milliamp-hours) being reported? This is what I can't get to display using CoolTool. It's always 0.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Sheeezy:
Tbh I don't even use CoolTools.

The app I'm using is called: Galaxy Charging Lite

It basically shows you the mah while charging

If that's relevant to you (as far as I have noticed) :

Wallplug

0%-60% - 1800mah

61%-100% - 1200mah

PC via USB2.0

450mah

PC via USB3.0

900mah

Wireless charging

640mah

at least thats the output I get with the wireless charging. I know, coming from the S3 with boeffla kernel, you can speed up the charging speed.

So I'm hoping someone either will create a mod or a kernel implementation.

EDIT:

Also IIRC the developer of the above mentioned kernel (@Lord Boeffla) said, that the S3 can't measure the charging speed.

What the S3 does is calculating the value. (for more indepth information contact Lord Boeffla)

As for the Note 3 I have no clue and haven't found any information on xda.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DrPhant0m:
Thanks for the tip. I installed the app, and got the same values you did for wireless charging (640) and wall plug (1200 @ 71% battery).

Unfortunately, having a locked bootloader on my Note 3 (damn you Verizon!) means that I'm stuck with the stock kernel for the foreseeable future.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SladeZero:
With my setup... i am getting 950ish mA during the time the battery is at 30%-70% ... it drops to about 650mA from 85-100%.

Honestly, I don't care unless its hot.. 93F is the highest, used to get hotter on the wall plug. Now, I just throw my phone on the charger. Feels good not to have to fight with the plug and connector while its dark.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DrPhant0m:
What do you get between 0 & 30%? What about between 70 and 85% ??? lol

I just put my phone on the pad w/ 47% battery, and I'm still reading 640mA. What do you mean by "your setup?" Is there something I could do to expedite charging in the lower percentage band? (Perhaps getting a different pad is the answer)

Another question... Are there any types of wireless charging accessories out there, similar to the fatboy pillow that comes with the Nokia chargers? I haven't been able to find the pillow by itself. What about any other kinds of stands that would make it similar to the TYLT (without the premium price) or the touchstone charger I had for my HP TouchPad. I was thinking of trying to get something like a business card holder and modifying it so I just set my phone in it and it'll hold it readily in place at a tilt so I can still use it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SladeZero:
My phone never goes below 30% unless I am out all day with large active use... then I bring my 7800mA charger, so I make it home with about 80%.

Between 70% and 84% it varies... until it hits 650mA and then stays there... kinda steps down from 950mA. Never do I get the exact same results during those times.. so I am telling the stable Amps and %.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xdm9mm:
I agree. Best thing to do is go to verizon and check their units
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] johnny13oi:
Just as a heads up it's currently $15 for the Nokia DT-900 charging pad on Tanga.

https://www.tanga.com/deals/bd71d10c3a2a/nokia-dt-900-wireless-charging-pad
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bobturismo:
For ships and giggles, I pulled apart an old hard drive and grabbed the neodymium magnets out of there and taped them to a generic car mount I had. I Stuck some utility knife razor blades between my case and phone and it sticks very well.

I just ordered that $15 Nokia dt900 for the house and then I ordered the WIWOFIT charging pad because it was the cheapest "puck" style, that I think has an actual micro usb plug in. The others seem to have a mini usb.

I should be able to attach the magnets to the wireless pad and my car mount and have a wireless charging magnetic car mount.

I'll keep you guys updated

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sanjsrik:
Huh and thanks?

What do you mean qi-enabled rechargeable battery is for th eS3, S4, and Note2?

I have a OEM sticker that makes my standard 3200 battery into a qi-enabled rechargeable battery. What about numerous ones that are sold on Amazon?

I want to thank xdm9mm, however. I didn't realize thate was a cpacity issue with the larger than 3200. Much appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Qi enable batteries mean the qi receiver is built into the battery, no individual receiver is needed.

apparently there are 4 of them and 3 of them are samsung oem batteries.
