I am curious about T-Mobile version. For some hell only knows what reason, they left pins there, but one pin was not connected to charging circuit. So they did nothing, unless you are willing to get dirty with a soldering iron.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gnik luap:
Maybe I need more coffee, but I don't follow.

Do you mean the T-Mobile phone has qi contacts that aren't connected?

How did you verify, do you have a Samsung wireless charging back cover?

If so that sounds like a defective phone needing replaced.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Meanee:
There was a big thread on Note II forums on how to enable wireless charging on T-Mobile Note II. Both contacts were there, but only one was connected to a charging circuit.

So there are 3 pins next to the battery and we only need to use 2 of those 3 pins to charge? Which ones the positive and negative? Thanks. According to that video there is no use for those 2 pins above the battery
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jyan_osu:
The 2 pins above the battery are for NFC.. the pins to the side of the battery are for wireless charging.

You don't need all 3 for wireless charging. Just 2. Which 2 and which are the positive and negative?

From the 3 the 2 from up. 1st is + and 2nd is -

I wasnt much sure about the anker model. have been seeing bad reviews on youtube.

But there's a review on amazon for the Lugulake chargers who says he gets good charge time and rates.

Here's the review and the product.

Thats why i am considering.. MicroUSB compatible, no slip, read on another forum.. that this gives one full charge to the note 3

These are the same Chinese make chargers that i brought earlier, and regret. They do the job.. but the charging time on the Nokia and the TYLT is much much better.

They also need to be correctly positioned... a slight variation in placement and the phone stops charging. Green (duh?) and red leds are horrible, quality and make is cheap plastic.. i think buckets are made of better plastic.

Well, i guess the reason for my discontentment is cos i am comparing it with Nokia and TYLT.

For the price Nokia is a million times better choice for about the same price as these ebay chargers if you buy three.. On the Nokia and TYLT I never had to be precise about i how place my phone on the pad cos of the three coils. 90 to 100% charges in about 10-15 mins with the Nokia and the TYLT both. With the chinese charger as above, two weeks back i had a late night out, came back home on the weekend at around 3 am with 15% charge remaining.. put the phone on the chinese charger and until i woke up in the morning at 9, the phone wasnt fully charged it was still at 80%.

The quality and size is definately good, and the brand speaks for itself. not sure if this will give atleast one full charge.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] acheney1990:
Ok good to know. What's the price on the Nokia?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
It's been discussed many times here. Currently $24.50 from AT&T. Also about a 12% discount if you buy two and 25% is you buy 3 or more.

Best bang for the buck for a quality QI charger, in my opinion.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
I won't say all chinese version are like that or charge slow, many people buy this chargers from ebay which are the yijieneng or a copy version, these are really cheap, thats why many people go for this one, in fact they are the worst one available, in china they sell for about USD 9 each, and this is the retail price, imagine what the wholesale price will be.

If anyone has time, do a seach on the S3, S4 or note 2 forum, majority of the buyes on this forum points to the same or similar transmitter.

The quality is a total crap, and yet you need to position them + - 2-3mm, I have actually posted about this in the S3 and note 2 section, and this is about 7 months ago.

This is the same yijieneng charger with dual charging base but purchased over 12 months ago, cost about 12 time the price, but quality wise, it's alot better, you can also get the similar one now on ebay which is still unreliable, and i'm still using it now, and yes i'm charging my ipod touch 5.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
That Anker QI charger is just a wireless charger, and had no battery for mobile charging. There mobile battery chargers are reviewed well. That QI charger isn't. This is the one I'm talking about:

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-High-Ca...1384208164&sr=8-3&keywords=6000mAh+QI+charger

Not this one (noticed it says upgraded):

http://www.amazon.com/UPGRADED-Qi-E...d=1384208296&sr=8-1&keywords=Anker+QI+charger

That LuguLake is a re-branded of this charger that you get from Chinese sites for about $45. I believe kms stated it was not a good quality charger.

Alternately, I'd like this Anker charger no QI, but double the mAh (12k) with 3 USB ports for $50.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
If only... I only need one and with usb - or I did. If I got another one it would be the TYLT. I like it that much. :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
Had a long reply with links and all, but my TapaTalk app on my Nexus 7 crashed and lost it all! :mad:

Condensed version:

The Anker charger you linked is NOT the same product I'm talking about. That is a QI only charger, Anker us an "upgraded" version on Amazon. Search for Anker 6000mAh QI charger and you'll see the one I'm talking about

The LuguLake charger is a rebranded charger that you can get from Chinese sites for about $45 (search for 1688 charger). Also I believe Kms stated is wasn't a quality product.

Alternately, in also interested in the Anker Gen 2 Astro3 12000mAh charger. No QI but lots of capacity, 3 USB charging ports and only $50. Read the reviews on Anker mobile battery charger (powerpacks) they seem very good.

Over all I trust Anker over no-name brands. What I'm really struggeling with is:

- $70 for 6000mAh with Qi and two USD ports (about 2.1Amp max output)

or

- $50 for 12000mAh without QI and 3 USB ports (about 4Amp max output)

Do I really want to pay a premium for the QI compatibility?

On my way home to see if there's anything waiting in the mail (fingers crossed).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
For 55 bucks you get 3 from att. Look up their online section for accessories. Trust me its worth it. 55 dollars you will never regret. I have them almost everywhere in the house. My wife says, its not phone charger.. its an antenna in every corner of the house with reception to your brain to make it work 24 hrs. :D

I have a TYLT, i like it.. but still i think the prices are not justified compared to what Nokia is offering.

For the same price of TYLT after the discount you can get 3 nokia chargers. [MENTION=1431989]rojas[/MENTION]TDK guy was true about it in his earlier posts. I think this time as well he is going to win the debate on the QI power packs with the new upgraded Anker chargers.

From what I have gathered it come down to this:

1. Anker 6000mAh Qi charger

- Probably good quality

- Probably true an efficient 6000mAh

- with 2 USB charging Ports

- For $70

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-High-Ca...3146&sr=8-1&keywords=Anker+6000mAh+Qi+charger

2. Metrans W10000 104000mAh QI charger

- A probably good to decent quality

- Probably close to 10000mAh

- with 1 USB charging port

- For about $55

http://m.everbuying.com/item_detail...for-Nokia-920-820-HTC-8X-Google-Nexus-4-Black

3. TX-5600 10000mAh QI cahrger

- B grade battery and ok quality

- Closer to 8000mAh capacity

- with 2 USB cahrging ports

- For about $42 (was about $37 when I ordered mine)

http://aud.dx.com/product/mikasso-t...00mah-power-bank-white-961233925#.UoFp6RAlL98

4. Metrans W5000

- Probably good to decent quality

- Probably true 5000mAh capacity

- With 1 USB charging port

- For about $52

http://dx.com/p/metrans-w5000-exter...39791?tc=USD&gclid=CIPQuOr33boCFUlp7AodQxAAcw

I decided to take a chance and go with the $37 (now $42) TX-5600. Kms says it just ok quality battery and probably closer to 8000mAh. For the $37 I paid I'm ok with that. I will do the trick if I need it while traveling, at least I hope so. I just had a hard time paying $60 - $70 for the first two options, when $37 would get me by and option #4 probably wouldn't give me 2 full charges. It a price vs performance thing with me, similar to why I chose the DT-900.

Maybe Kms will have some insight on the above mentioned charger.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
It's the ebay one MANswers posted. Came with receiver and pad. About $30

As far as battery packs I think this was one of the reasonably priced ones with a fairly large capacity.

When i get home in an hours time i'll post some insight of the w5000.

That's the same one I ordered, the TX-5600. I didn't expect it to really be 10000mAh, according to kms it's actually closer to 8000mAh and on ok quality with a grade B battery. Still for the money I think it will do.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Since i'm going to post details on the metrans, here is some photo's of the mwt 02 desk top and the w5000 3 in 1 power pack.

I think I have photo of the internal of the w5000 at work, I will upload it tonight as I probably deleted it from imageshack.

I have used the W5000 for a good 4-5 months now, the component used is considered good, including a good TI controller, coil is considered average, the battery is a grade B battery which is made in china, or a unknown Chinese brand, transfer power lose is slightly more than my other qi power pack, but better than the yijieneng.

Detection rate is very good, all my qi stuff works without problems, not too picky on it's location, although you do need to place the phone towards the center, if you ask me to choose between the w5000 and tx5600, I will consider the w5000, the tx5600 does not detect the phone better than the w5000, but the w5000 is kind of big or should I say wider than most power pack to be portable.

You do get better quality from the w5000 than the tx5600, as metrans is certified with wpc., whiles the TX5600 is a unknown brand.

My note 2 has a battery of 3100mAh, this power pack can charge it approximate 80%, whiles my other qi powerpack can charge it about 95% and above.

Forgot to mention, since I don't have the w10400, I presume the internal will be very similar to the W5000, the w5000 did sell out at one time in china when I had the intention to pick up a second one.

As you can see the internal of the desktop version, the w5000 is very similar.

hope this can help you out

Double tap touch sensitive button for on/off

three led for power status, white led will show when charging wireless, if in desktop mode, the three power status led will turn off.

Also i dont find w10400 anywhere on the net. Do you have a link?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
The w5000 will only give me approximate 80% charge on the note2, also I go to china 1-2 times a week so I buy direct, and because I know the company I get them at discount price.

If I don't visit I can also buy from www.taobao.cn, so the price I pay will be a lot cheaper than what's available on ebay.

The w10400 is the same design as the mwt 02 but at 2.5-3 times the thickness, and pretty heavy, photo above.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
Thanks for a honest opinion. Metrans w5000 is out of the list in that case. I guess there are other chargers on amazon that can give one full charge and a little bit more.

I'll wait till everyone gets their powerpack in and then evaluate. For me right now atleast one full charge and might be a little bit more might contend me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
That's quite the power loss if it only charges 80%. The hunt continues.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
Yeah that's a little disappointing. I would hope for a little over one charge out of it.

There is a loss of energy in the charging process. A 70%, plus or minus, inefficiency of about right for most ok charger. Some better chargers, good batteries and components, are into the 80%+ efficiency. I assume e he's probably taking about wireless charging which will be even less efficient. Even then 80% charge seem low.

That is why I'm high on Anker. I have read several reviews where where their newer chargers are in the high 70% to the mid 80% efficiency.

Added a few reviews the the 2nd Gen Astro3:

http://www.technologytell.com/gadgets/130444/gadgetell-review-2nd-gen-anker-astro3-12000mah-battery/

http://www.gizmag.com/anker-astro3-external-battery/28519/

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2383118

Not sure what the efficiency of their (Anker) QI battery pack would be hopefully no less than 60%.

That is why I really like this Anker 2nd gen Astro3 12000mAh charger. It should be alt to charge the Note 3 between 2.5 to 3.5 Times. No QI but can charge the device at a max output of about 4 Amps. QI mobile battery charger is cool, but are giving up a lot of capacity to the technologies lack of efficiency.

I keep talking myself more and more into the Astro3 2nd gen. It's just more bang for the buck with no QI, greater mAH and $50 price tag.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mofo84:
I ordered the astro3 yesterday can't wait to try it out.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RojasTKD:
Almost pulled the trigger today, but would rarely need it. Especially with an army of QI charger everywhere around me (work and home).

Even when I do travel I usually carry a spare battery, and that will more than enough get me by until I can get to an outlet. Would be nice but hard to justify.
