I have the same one and removed the white plastic. It's extremely thin now. You have to look very hard to see anything. If I gave you the phone you wouldn't know it's there. I haven't been able to test the NFC but others have and said it works. ATM NFC is less important to me anyway.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Vulpix:
How did you peel off the plastic? Is it hard to peel off? I was trying to figure out how to peel it off. Do you have any tips?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
It was a bit of a pain to peel for me but I don't have very steady hands due to caffeine overdose. ;) Really important not to break the wires or bend it too much. I started by cutting up one side very carefully to take a look and went from there. At first I only removed the front then removed the back white plastic too. As recommended I left the black plastic insulation between the coil and the battery. Grabs charge really well, too, since the thickness has been lessened.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Vulpix:
Christ, this is going to be tricky. Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
I doubted my ability to do it and was fine. A little tricky but not impossible. You're welcome. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
Peel slowly and you'll be fine.

Done. Not even a bit of bulge at the camera area. I like how the sticky black tape at the top part of the receiver is actually very helpful. It's now on a specific part of the back cover and doesn't come off at all.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
look at it this way, if you break it, you can always buy a new one, plenty available.:fingers-crossed:

Has anyone tried this?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
When I really want something, like qi charging, I get it, but always at the best possible price - like everyone. Other than that I'm scroogeish with my funds. My receiver works well, is very flat now, and other than difficulties removing the back cover, I am happy. Don't need other ones now and really glad I didn't toast mine in the process. Pure luck. I came close to destroying it but these receivers appear to be relatively hardy and not that easy to break. The only reason I will get another one now is breakage or lack of NFC (if that becomes an issue)

I'm going to walk away from my buying binge for the N3 and let the dust settle before I buy anything else (other than enough to make a homemade card dock). I have the qi pad already so I'm close.

FWIW my cheapo qi pad is now setting on top of my TYLT with my phone on that and it charges just like the Vu should have. ;) Single notification and it's gone. Screen can dim and dim etc. You know how it works. ;)

Good to hear. Yeah I like that black tape.

i bought nokia wireless charger DT-900 from att, 25$

qi wireless receiver l <13$ ebay for all s3, s4, note 3

remove stock back cover, use rubber band as cushion between the case (cover)

work great

and i bought 2more nokia dt-700

try it
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
I have lots of qi receiver, taken many apart for modification, killed some of them, but still shopping for other new qi stuff that are released.

Going back to china early next month for some new stuff.

Trying to find the nokia new DT 601 qi charger transmitter.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Sweet. I'm definitely jealous. Hope I get to see pics. Try to post some on the forums plz. I am all about qi charging now thanks to this thread and am interested in the direction things will go.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
I got also DT900 but doesn't charge with the case in phone unfortunately and all my Chinese pads works fine, don't know what to do really
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
it's totally normal, some will work, some won't.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] krelvinaz:
What case are you using? Mine works with the Spigen Bounce case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
[MENTION=4232157]BlueChris[/MENTION], you should call up att and get a replacement, I had an issue with one of the three that came in, and the att rep told me they got quite a few returns cos of similar complains.

BTW,

Guys, anyone reading this thread and planning to get a wireless charger off ebay.. pm me.. i have to spare chargers sitting with me unopened, in the box as it came to me from China. If you plan to order it from ebay its going to take atleast over 3 weeks to arrive, i will ship it over to you the same day.. and should reach you within 3 days. I'll cut you a good deal if you buy both.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
I just received my TYLT and it's pretty awesome. But I noticed that I can't charge it with the phone upside down (not that I would ever do that) like the guy did in the video.

I'm guessing that just because the Note is huge and not a defect? Any one try it with their Vu?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
I think it's a N3 thing because mine won't charge upside down on my cheapo pad. I don't remember trying on my Vu.

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

I take that back. The cheapo does charge upside down. It's just positional, like right side up.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
makes sense for the flat pad since you can position it that way but there's no space to position it since it's a stand
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Right. And I thought it wouldn't work upside down because I had my phone on the cheapo, on the Vu. It wouldn't line up. Took it off and it charged.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
My eBay charger works upside down. Takes a little more fidgeting to get it lined up so it'll charge but not worth the trouble since charging upside down was just for testing purposes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
I never noticed how these chargers make a ticking sound while charging, you'll hear it if you put your ear near it. turns out inductive charging does that :silly:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
It shud not. Looks like there is a spark or something. Mine does not. You shud remove the insert and place it firmly on the pins, use a two sided sticky tape or something. But that sound is not supposed to be there
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
Wait no one else hears a ticking noise (like clockwork) when you place your ear up against the charger?

T-Mo is gonna get a return if that's the case
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
No ticking sound in DT900 but some China ones that I have do beep in start and finish of charging
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
some qi chargers might have slightly soft humming noise from the induction transfer, but not a ticking noise.

is it a time bomb:p
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bubblesmoney:
l have several Qi wireless chargers and none of them TICK ! Have used them with Note3, S4 S3 Note2 Nexus7, Nexus 5, iPhone 5s, ' iPhone5, iPhone5C and none of them Tick!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
No ticking with either of my chargers that I can hear.

---------- Post added at 07:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 AM ----------

Neither of mine have beeps, just charging lights. The beeping some have described would make me nuts.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] krelvinaz:
No ticking allowed...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Euforeik:
So I just went to best buy and they carry the wireless charging back. Do you think any of the cases now will fit with the back on? It's pretty thick.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
nope, aside from a few like the Poetic bumper
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
No. That's why a lot of us are using add-in receivers. ;)

Some of us dont like our phone breakdancing when we interact with it on desk or something. ;)

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Sure glad mine doesn't.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
Mine doesn't rock around even though I'm using a smooth back (slim armor) case and the crappy blue receiver which is supposedly the thickest one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Removing the plastic outer wrap really thinned mine out. The camera is still the most protruding part but if I try hard I can feel the chip very faintly thru the original back and not at all with my case on. Even better results than I was hoping for. Glad I got brave.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] poczynek:
Here is my cheap and nasty solution to tilted charging. Cheap flat wireless plus cheap stand connected!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] poczynek:
Without phone...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
I'm afraid to remove the back blue outer wrap since it adds another layer between the battery and the coil.....
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
Lol. Ghetto fabulous.

Sent from my SM-9005.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] poczynek:
I really should Kickstarter it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
When you remove the rest of the blue plastic there will be a piece of black plastic that remains and you put between the coil and the battery. It's the insulation.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cooling2014:
yes, I bought one and works well. However I also bought one wireless charger
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
ah, it's stuck to the blue outer layer, so I just peeled it off and applied it to the coil, problem solved
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bolderbasta:
Love this idea!

What pad and stand did u use? By the picture it looks like you have the same pad I have. On that pad, the usb connector is reversed if you place it on a stand like this.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] poczynek:
Yes so it's the pad that came with this:

http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/131015696933?varId=430207922754&nav=WATCHING&skus=Model:Receiver+Only&sbk=1

And the dock is one I bought a while ago off ebay. It's just a generic Chinese one bought for around aud$5.

I then opened up the dock and turned the connector around and voila! It lined up perfectly!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Should be thinner now.

---------- Post added at 07:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 AM ----------

Good job!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bolderbasta:
Great, thanks for the info! The connector on the pad is indeed reversed. I believe I found the same dock on ebay, will be ordering that!

EDIT: I ordered the "Universal Dock" from here, as is looks like the one poczynek has: http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Dock-St...l_Phone_PDA_Chargers&var=&hash=item5d44a298c7
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
Did you ever figure out a solution or cause for this? Just got my vu and worked fine for the first few times now I'm having this issue as well. Debating if it's worth a exchange. Got the thin white receiver by the way.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
I also have the thin white receiver and think it just lines up in a spot with the that is just off and causing the connection to not be stable. My other blue receiver sits a little higher and doesn't have this connection issue, but it does cause me NFC issues.

Of I lay it horizontal the right way, it usually works well for me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kofanger:
Are there any big differences between an original one and a China-model?

Is this an ok model? http://dx.com/p/qi-standard-usb-wir...module-for-samsung-galaxy-note-3-black-261823

Does anyone know if it possible to buy one inside EU, to reduce shipping time?

And finally, is the charger powerful enough to reach the phone through a thin layer of wood?

EDIT: I've looked at the model from Qi which was posted above. But it doesn't ship to Denmark, and I'm therefore looking for an alternative.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
You can try reading through the thread, plenty of information that will give you all the answers you need to know.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Vulpix:
Does anyone know how to see the charging current for wireless? Is there an app to do that?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Initially mine cycled all the time. After a day or so it only cycled repeatedly once fully charged. Turn on screen show notice, and would repeat this over and over. I never found a cure for that. Turning of various things - screen on while docking, i.e. - made no difference. I paid $17.00 for one from China via NJ and it works perfectly. TYLT knows about the problem. If you have an issue I would contact them or contact TM for an exchange. YMMV

You should be pleased with that receiver. If it's the one I have, I'm happy.

---------- Post added at 07:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 AM ----------

If the combined thickness is less than 5mm it should work.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
it seems like many people are having problems with the TYLT VU, is this something to do with the production or are they starting to use cheaper component to reduce cost.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
I have to admit to being surprised by the turnaround. I thought the ebay plate would give me trouble, not the Vu. It should be here this week if the holiday doesn't completely mess things up. You never know with USPS. Hopefully the replacement will function properly.

Has anyone else noticed this on the Tylt Vu FAQ:

FWIW I just got my Qi insert and it's cycling off/on as others have reported.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Is yours constant cycling or only near full like the faq. N3 must have that issue. It's nuts making for me. It's a completely different experience than my eBay pad.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dvanburen:
It was full when I got the qi insert. I'm trying to run down the battery so I can test it at a lower charge level. Either way, it's looking more like this is a design issue than a one-off production problem. If it is a design issue I'll be returning it to T-Mobile.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
The guy asked for my phone (of course) and then asked charging back or receiver. Maybe TYLT is having more than a few computability issues.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
I think it's compatible issues between the receiver and the transmitter, I have this issue with my receiver pad that i'm using for my ipod touch 5, but my note 2 and other qi receiver will work with all my other chargers, if you have other receiver, may be you can try those.

Another issues is that you need to really alight the receiver and transmitter within a few mm.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
Mines just cycling above 90% so I guess it's probably a similar issue. I'm debating if peeling some layers off the white thin receiver I have will fix the issue.

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 PM ----------

Also, found this little communication saying they had fixed the issue. I'm wondering if I got an un-updated one, or if they just couldn't fix the issue completely since it is in their FAQ's still.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Peeling the plastic helps with the reception but I still had the issue. Since they are sending me a new one I guess I at least get to find out if it's an issue that's been resolved. If the new one still does it I'll be unhappy and I'll deal with it but I'm hoping it'll be fine.

Thin and working well

Wanted to give some feedback on my wireless charging experience.

I installed a wireless receiver from TechMatte.http://amzn.to/18BclfY

It is very thin. I see no bulge, even though the back plate felt like it was a tad harder to put back on. The real test was my Sedio Surface Case. I was able to re-install this very tight hard case with the receiver installed. I was worried but it was not a problem. Nice!

I am using Nokia DT-900 chargers. They work through the case with this receiver. I do not use NFC so I cannot report on whether it is affected or not.

The receiver shipped from the US as well, I got it in two days.

I wholeheartedly recommend this unit. No pics, it didn't happen, here ya go...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] fatlardo:
Do you have any pictures of the back where the camera is? I want to know if that part specifically is flush.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] yessirrom:
Here ya go. Keep in mind that I have had my case on for a day or so. It is tight and may have pushed everything into shape, so to speak. I did not pay attention when I first put it in. I was worried about the case fitting. Hope these help.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] fatlardo:
Thanks, looks pretty flush from what I can see. Ordered. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rawdikrik:
I've got 2 different tylt Vu's and don't have any issues whatsoever
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
consider yourself lucky.:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
This makes sense. Cos..i have been having this issue with all the 3 Nokia DT-900 Charging pads + one replacement i got. The Nokia charges every 10 mins or so, i see the pop-up saying wireless charing, meaning the charging gets disconnected and automtically connects after sometime. But that doesnt happen with the TYLT or the other ebay chargers.

I might return all the Nokia chargers now. Its frustating, cos this frequent disconnection is also heating the phone up, this means this fluctuation is causing coil to heat up including the batteries.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Thanks! I bet TM has some old stock and now those will need to be replaced. Conversely, there may be particular receivers that work better than others.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Would those with no charging issues with the Vu please post links to their purchased receivers - just in case my receiver is to blame. Others may benefit as well. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ClyssaN:
Thank you for your input.

If you have the chance, please, test the NFC.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dvanburen:
Mine seems fine now that the battery is at 70%. I'm sure it will start up again once the battery level reaches ~90%. I have already peeled off both sides of the white 'backing'. I don't think this is an issue that can be fixed on the phone side.

Edit: Missed the update for some reason. After reading that link I may try and RMA the Tylt rather than just returning it. Thank you for the information.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Vulpix:
Does anyone have this problem of the phone getting too warm after charging to 100%? Is it my crappy Qi charger doing this or is this normal for Qi chargers?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] krelvinaz:
Too warm as in hot, no. Warm yes, all wireless chargers will generate heat.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Vulpix:
Even after 100%? I don't like this at all, if I'm doing it via a wired charger the phone doesn't become warm once it hits 100%.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] krelvinaz:
The difference is that the Wireless charger is not 100% efficient, the rest is lost as heat. The wireless element is IN the phone... so the heat is there and in the pad both. As for your wired charger, the heat is in the Wall wart. So it is not getting heat transferred to the phone.

It should get warm, not not hot. ALL wireless chargers get warm.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Vulpix:
Damn, ok. I guess I'll using wireless charging but not overnight.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
Its totally normal and perfectly fine to charge at night using the wireless charger..that means even if it is sitting idle without getting charged toppedat 100%. most of us do that here.. and i have never seen the phone getting warmer on the TYLT sitting overnight even after topping off at 100%. Might be you have a loose connection with the insert tip and the pins in the phone, thus causing minor sparks or fluctuations... try realigning it or using a two sided sticky tape to make sure it does not move and remain fit and snugly in place.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mofo84:
My note3 gets a warm but nothing alarming. But my gf's s4 gets really hot. I think it's the receiver she has.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Vulpix:
I have a feeling it's this cheap crap Qi charger that is not cutting off properly. Got it at 10 bux for the fun of it. It's that circular one with different colors you see on eBay. I'll probably pick up a Nokia DT910 after work today.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
If you look back, a few weeks old.. thread, you will see i was complaining about the phone getting warm when i was using the cheap ebay QI receiver.. but after replacing another insert, the same phone never gets warm at all.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Vulpix:
I'm using the thinnest one right now, I don't have any others to try out. :( I got 2 on order, will probably replace when it's here. I'll check again tonight for the connection but I don't think there is any problem...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mofo84:
Yeah I need to get her a new one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
Many a times just the wireless receiver or the Charging pad is not solely responsible, cud be one of the app processes running in the background that cud be heating up your internals. For example I run backups every night using titanium backup and the phone warms up during that process, or if I have enabled a resource intensive theme on any specific launcher the phone heats up, or when I am downloading a rom in the background that might be of a gig or so. You can download wake detector and watchdog Lite app and figure out if one of the app or background process must not be chewing up your resources.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
I contacted tylt support yesterday and was told that they would be sending me a new one, just sent in my receipt and waiting on them now. I'll update once I receive and test it.

If you don't like the phone to get warm, you may consider not using wireless charging, as this is normal.
