Samsung is so lame when it comes to accessories marketing and logistics. This BS has been happening since Galaxy S4 came out years ago.

Samsung didn't learn the lesson.

I've noticed there are two s5 charging pads. Is one more powerful than the other?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Zylograth:
Qi wireless charging is more of a trickle charge, so unless you were going to be on a long car ride, more than an hour or so, I don;t think you would gain much from a qi charger in the car.

That being said, you could easily buy a cheap qi charger on ebay or amazon and put it in your center console or wherever you have room. Would probably need to use some double sided tape to hold it in place while driving and use some kind of dash pad or cupboard mat to keep the phone from sliding off the charger.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ponts:
Can you post a pic please? We are all dying to know if it is any thicker then the standard cover. Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gavinfabl:
I now have the offiicial Samsung Wireless charging cover on my S5. It is definitely thicker, although not by much. I will get photos up soon.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ponts:
You will be posting the first official real photo of one to my knowledge!!! Looking forward to it! If you have any cases please share which ones fit or not, thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gavinfabl:
Ok, I have done a quick review of the Official Cover, with close up photos, weight differences etc... and everything different I could find versus original cover

http://gavinsgadgets.wordpress.com/...rging-cover-review-with-samsung-charging-pad/

Any questions, just ask on here is fine.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tdrussell:
Pardon me, but holy sh*t the picture of the back on the samsung website is so not even remotely accurate.

Also, would you happen to have some calipers to measure the thickness change? It looks like 1-1.5mm to me.

Thanks for getting this review up so quickly.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gavinfabl:
Sadly I dont but I would agree its definitely 1-1.5mm. I tried fitting a back case and it would not fit at all.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] GrabMyWrist:
It's definitely thicker. Bummer!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gavinfabl:
I think its noticeably thicker too.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] sling:
Total bummer

It was my hope that my Outerbox commuter case would work with wireless back , It sure doesn't look like it
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gavinfabl:
I can't see many cases fitting this. Only plus point is camera no longer protrudes.

I don't use a case or screen protector so not that fussed, but could be a non runner for many.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] simacca:
Am glad the camera no longer protrudes. I don't use a case so the extra thickness will most probably not bother me either. Come on amazon, dispatch mine already!! [emoji13]
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] sling:
Protector is a must have in my line of work :(

Yeah not many cases are going to fly with this back cover , Samsung really screwed up.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] skyline23:
Was this really a surprise?

In the history of all samsung wireless charging covers, they are all thicker than the original cover.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] sling:
This is my first interest in wireless charging so no clue on outcome.

I expected it to be a tad thicker , this cover exceeds a tad quite a bit.

Those that spent big money on premium cases will more then likely take a pass
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tdrussell:
Well it was historical context vs what we thought was an actual picture of the back from samsung. Unfortunately samsung seriously misrepresented it.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eyecon82:
No. Both charge your phone at the same speed, regardless of the input amps

Exactly...

The S-View charging cover is only 1mm thicker than the non-wireless one

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gavinfabl:
Just a heads up. I've updated my review and added an extra part at the end.

The Samsung Wireless Charging Pad flashes orange when it's not charging properly. When it gets to a near full charge it keeps doing this. No use when you're asleep as I was so I'm returning the pad for a refund . I also ordered a second pad and am cancelling that order too. Once I get a refund I will order a Zens charging pad. If that doesn't work properly, then I will also send back the wireless back cover. A bit disappointed the Samsung pad is playing up.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] mtown_cyclone:
Where did you get it?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gavinfabl:

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eyecon82:
I have the older samsung pad. With that one, it gives you a green light when placed on properly

How is yours affecting your sleep?

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] delawaredrew:
Well the thickness/case issue does suck as I now have several cases that may or may not work with the official cover, a case is a must for work days, not so much outside work but switching covers back and forth is an added hassle; so might not be for me.

Bummer as I was looking forward to it. I'm waiting on a generic QI add on piece so maybe that will suffice.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gavinfabl:
Same here. Place on goes light goes green. But after a while the light goes Amber then flashes. I was asleep so the flashing Amber woke me up several times.

Available May 10th per BH. It might be a good idea to lock your order down since they take them in the order they were received and you will not be charged until it ships.. just in case Samsung delays stocking for long period of time. I know most are waiting to use their 50% coupon when Samsung stocks these.

When I ordered mine it was 2-4 weeks estimated delivery. That suddenly changed and got delivered. I got the cover from Amazon UK. It might show out of stock or a long lead time, but that wasnt what happened with me.

I was deciding between Amazon UK and MobileFun.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] v3rtex:
I ordered mine two days ago at amazon here in germany, and tomorrow it will be delivered.

Europe is getting all the love on the standard wireless charging cover. The S-view charging covers can be found here at Verizon stores, however, nothing else.

Hopefully we will see the standard wireless charging cover soon.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gavinfabl:
Just an update. The Samsung Wireless charging pad I had thought was working properly. I think it works ok but it is very position critical not to after a few minutes flash orange to say not charging properly. The most annoying aspect is the bit when it reaches around 96% it flashes orange and stops charging. Useless. I've got a Zens now and I will test this. I'm hoping the Zens works better based on my previous experiences with the brand.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eyecon82:
do u have the new square, black, small one?

or last years model, which is rectangular and gray, and much larcher?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gavinfabl:
Black one. Click review link in signature for wireless cover. First photo shows S5 on black pad.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eyecon82:
Thanks. I see that you the newer one.

How fast does it charge it?

-Sent from Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gavinfabl:
I havent time it yet. But I imagine its circa 4 hours for a full charge. The bit I dont like is that it flashes orange when fully charged. And doesnt do anything else thereafter when the battery drops. TBH I havent tested if it does as the flashing orange light is annoying at night, so I remove it. The Zens charger charges to 100%, then switches off, at 95% it switches back on again. I will test this later to see if this works the same way with the S5. I previously used the Zens with a Nexus 5 and Nexus 7.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] simacca:
Let us know if the zens is better than the Samsung as I haven't ordered the qi charger yet. Still waiting for my cover to be dispatched Zzzzzz....
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gavinfabl:
Dont worry I will. I have high hopes for the Zens based on past experiences.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gavinfabl:
I got another Samsung Wireless charging pad today and it appears the first one I had was faulty. I am not getting any mad orange flashing light and cut outs
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
The Zen has a much larger surface detection as it has 7 coils, but the detection is slightly weaker than the single or 3 coil transmitter.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] v3rtex:
Hey guys, here are some impressions about my combination of wireless charging cover and the easyChee charging station.

It's fully working, you can see that the charging cover has a slightly colder white tone, than the original which is warmer.

Further the camera now is fully covered by the cover with a gap of about one millimeter.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] joderme:
Thank you both for these insightful posts. They are very helpful for those of us who haven't received one yet.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eyecon82:
I have the older one, and that one keeps it at a full 100%

Mine takes about 3-3.5 hours to charge fully. Here's a picture

What I like better about it than the new one is that it's bigger and the phone doesn't overlap it

-Sent from Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] simacca:
I prefer the look of this one.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gavinfabl:
The new small Samsung Wireless charging pad is not good. This is my second one. First was faulty. It appears that once battery been charged to 100% after a set period maybe one hour it stops charging and the light flashes orange. So it's quite easy to find in the morning your phone at say 90%.

I just don't like this way it works.

Just FYI, I flashed the posted Omega v 1.1 for the Galaxy S5 on the International site, on my T Mobile SM-G900T

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51857845

If I'm violating XDA policy here, my bad. Just wanted to let others no that as with the S4, many of the International ROMs worked. Your mileage may vary and I am NOT responsible if something happens to your device. I am using the twrp 2.7.0.0 version reference here in the rooting method for our TMobile S5's.

Currently finishing the installation process. I am not making any recommendations as to what ROMs are best etc. Just wanted to let others know that this worked for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mocsab:
I was hoping someone would try this - Can you verify if Wifi and Bluetooth are working properly? ON the Note 3 we could flash international roms but had to flash a fix to get Wifi Working. is it working for you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Docmjldds:
WiFi and Bluetooth working right out of the box. No fixes needed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mocsab:
awesome.

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

One other question - on the Note 3, when we flashed some international roms - it always wiped the internal SD card - did that happen when you flashed this rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dustintinsley:
What is the advantage of flashing the international version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mocsab:
it isn't just flahsing the international version - it is a custom rom - OMEGA - which has been avaiablle for Note 3 - S4 - S3 and god knows how many other phones - this is an early rom - and probably doesn't have all of it's usual features - but it is a start - the first custom ROM for the s5 -

At least as far as I know and have read - I haven't flashed it - but am about to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] will6316:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cwalker0906:
What about the kernel? You are using the t mobile kernel or the stock international that comes with omega?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Docmjldds:
No differences with this ROM as with anything on TMobile site. Again...all works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Docmjldds:
Stock from Omega. I did notice the recovery screen quickly flashing a message in the upper left of the screen something about the kernel and being "compliant" (just a guess on remembering) but after it completed the flash and booted up just fine and wifi worked instantly, so I basically let it go in passing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Docmjldds:
Yes...it's basically stock with no additional features. The Omega Files app has nothing yet for the S5. But as you said, it's a start and the first custom ROM for the S5. OH...cool lock screen wallpaper :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] blackknightavalon:
I tried installing Omega 1.0 yesterday and I got an error message. I'll try flashing 1.1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mocsab:
I did find that it wipes the INTERNAL SD CARD - so you may want to make copies of important folders and put them on the External SD Card so you don't loose anything important. (If you use Titanium Backup - copy the Titanium Backup folder from your internal SD card and put it on the Ext SD Card) or just change the backup location of Titanium Backup to use the external SD Card so you don't loose it) I dont recall seeing anything abou tthis in the OP - it might be but I didn't see it - I do know the same thing happened when flashing certain International ROMS on the Note 3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kierenh:
Success

I successfully installed Omega 1.2 via Custom Recovery tool, Philz Touch. I first Rooted the device, and then installed Philz, and then flashed over the Omega 1.2.

I live in Australia, and my s5 regained access to the Camera Shortcut and other features it was missing.

Also to note, all of my data and mobile data still work like a charm, so I can call and send sms without any fuss.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] asimons81:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kierenh:
No worries, and good luck with the flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Docmjldds:
My bad...earlier I thought it did NOT wipe the Internal, but it did. I humbly am eating humble pie for stating the opposite earlier. I did copy everything prior so I am ok. I hope my info didn't cause grief for anyone else. I am basing this on the v1.2 which is the Aroma installer and did choose the full wipe method. I'm assuming that v1.0 and 1.1 did the same prior to the aroma installer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] asimons81:
Thanks a ton for this, man. I'd give you a thanks, but I'm out for the day. I'll definitely give it to you when I log back in though. I flashed the ROM and can also confirm it works great. I used TWRP. My main goal was to get my hotspot working; goal accomplished!! :good::good::good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:
Can someone just confirm for me again that this is working on the T-mobile Galaxy S5? The reason why I am paranoid is that back when I was a noob several years ago, I accidentally flashed an international rom for my S3 and it hard bricked it do to different partition layouts. I just want to be sure before I flash.

On the other hand though, it would be incredible if know all the international roms will work with T-mobile. It will totally break down the wall on what we can install on our device and open up a world of mods, hacks etc. There are a lot more developers that work on the international version then on the us variants.

ok so not sure if it is a water issue or what, i took the phone in the shower this morning, had my music player going, and hell it is supposed to be water resistant right? well a few hours later i noticed that the "headphones connected" icon was on and my music player was going (no sound obviously since it thinks headphones are connected) it keeps coming back on and every time it does it thinks headphones are connected and starts to run my music player..... could this be a water issue, not thinking so, we all saw videos of these things in a pool, maybe software related?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilbeef54:

Second, you can not use a 1.x Radio Rom with 2.x Bootloader and vice-versa.

Most of the AT&T share plans include tethering when in the past tethering was only for certain plans or extra. So maybe it depends on the data plan? If your plan includes it, you shouldn't even need Foxfi.
