The above post left me intrigued that I emailed Samsung myself.

My god, get your crap together, Samsung. I'm sure the holographic logo on the front of the packaging saying it's a certified product is fake too.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
most of the time, samsung doesn't know what they are selling, especially these cover when they have many version's, there customers service are useless.

Can you post photos of both sides of the box.

thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Azbulldog:
I looked at AT&T's website again and discovered that the desktop page says the cover supports PMA in the description, but the mobile version of the same webpage says it supports Qi. Maybe I'll email AT&T for fun, or else my mind won't be at ease.

Here are the photos
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
Thanks, you have tested this with a qi charger and it works, is this correct.

I will try to get hold of one, do you know if they have this in white.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] JRCARRERAS:
Yes, with the Nokia DT-900. The one AT&T was selling for $5.00.

How fast would the Qi charger at play.google charge my S5? Would anyone know?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] mmark27:
Has anyone tested with a PMA charger? If true, I might get one of these AT&T covers, so my phone can accept power from anywhere. I was initially grumpy that Samsung didn't make wireless built in and we had to buy a cover, etc. But this is a real advantage to an evolving industry, just swap covers.

I was at a newer bar near my house, the owners are young and techy. They were going to install PMA Chargers into the bar. He said the Chargers for businesses are ridiculously cheap, somewhere around $5 per unit over 20. Smart move by PMA folks. This would be super clutch at bars and restaurants for a night out.

hi guys, anyone use the otterbox preserver with the samsung wireless charging back? (not the s-view flip cover). just wondering if it fits-

my dream case would be a battery extender/case/waterproofer/wireless-charging-capable all in one. i don't care how big this made the phone
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
there is a thread on cases for the wireless cover, i'm sure you will get the answers there, you can search through that thread, your question will probably have already been answered.

Hi, I am planning to buy Official Samsung Galaxy S5 S View Wireless Charging Cover and the pad but I have a question, Is NFC working with S view cover, I have S view with out wireless capability and NFC is not working with it. Thanks in advance. Please suggest.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] seanu13:
Just got the cover today, and I kind of like the added thickness.

Question: I'm trying to use the newer nexus 5/7 QI charger and it's not working. The screen wakes but that's it. Is this charger not compatible for some reason?

It could be the charger itself even though it was working before, I noticed my Nexus 7 doesn't charge wirelessly after updating the the Android L preview.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] icey_kitsune:
I tried with my roomies nexus 5/7 charger and got the same thing, I am thinking that it might be that the Samsung back is interfering with the signal or just too thick for the full charging to start. the other possibility is that maybe the nexus charger is waiting for some response to initiate charging (a frequency shift or some sort in the induction field).
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kill_dano:
Just wanted to drop a tip if anyone has that 'magic cube' car charger. It wads not able to charge my S5 using either the S-view or standard wireless covers. I took the Magic box appart (no screws, you need to pry the top panel off [with the QI logo] with a guitar pic or similar) The coil is in there and I found it attached to like a metal part, that was very easy to break. I broke it off after I found that it would not charge when that round metal thing was close to the coil. I put it back together and it works fine now. So yeah, just break that metal/marble thing in half with your hands and it starts working. No idea why.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
A few days ago I finally tested out the wireless cover in water, had it in sea water for about 10 minutes, but will not recommend it, as the seal is not fool proof, and over time the seal will wear out.

Wireless Charger Case

I have bought few TPU cases from cruzerlite.com and they fit with Samsung wireless charge, straight out box, with no modding to case...droid circuit is my fav by the way!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] alxrock:
I just got my S5 and I'm planning on getting wireless charging soon. I was hoping that someone would confirm that Cruzerlite cases fit with the slightly thicker backing. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] josedecuba:
confirm

can you confirm that the power button and the volume botton work correctly?

. thank

Yes they fit really good couldnt believe it, power and volume are lined up and work perfectttt.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tylerrattv:
has anyone pulled the back cover to bits to see if you can remove the coil? and maybe place it in the normal back cover?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
If you are going to remove the coil and PCB, why don't you just buy a third party receiver.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] hakoreh:
do not use the wireless cover

I tried it and ran my phone under cold water and it seeped through. not enough to damage. I contacted Samsung and they basically told me I can send a send it in for repair or accept a like new device from Verizon. a like new sounds unfair. They basically first told me to go to Amazon and get a new cover. and I was like uh what about the phone? And there was nothing they could do. I might just wait for the LG G3 to come out and sell this one
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] mmark27:
yeah, I don't have much confidence with the wireless back and water resistance.....it just doesn't seem to snap on quite as snugly.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eatonjb:
I agree, I took mine with the regular back and it was perfect in the water, put the wireless one on and i noticed a few drops chilling on the battery. I had a bumper on it that held it together better, but i will just switch backs when i feel i need water tightness.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
The oem cover will hold better, it's much more flexible than the oem wireless cover.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] btort1:
I think the leak you guys are talking about comes from the speaker hole, I washed my phone in my sink and dried it off. When I took off the back cover the only water drops that leaked were from the speaker "hole"
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] LoSt180:
I'd just as soon not dunk the phone in water on purpose. I tried taking an underwater picture in the pool and my volume button was going crazy for a few days. Phone kept muting itself basically. Finally cleared up.

Wireless back sealed up fine. Was water around speaker port as was mentioned.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] alxrock:
Liar liar, pants on fire. I just got my official wireless charging back and the Cruzerlite android circuit case does not fit well at all. The cover barely covers the silver border on the front of my phone. I regret buying the case before I got my wireless charging setup... But that's my bad. Maybe I can heat the case to stretch it out a bit.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] yhe2x:
I would like to know this as well, a blue wireless charging battery door
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
It's not where you can buy it from, it's whether it's available, and the answer is no.

Samsung has only released it in black or white.

SO I just got my new Genuine Back and tried it with my 3rd party charging pad and it did not work?? When I put the 3rd party charger back on the phone they both worked together.....

Any one have the Genuine back and have problems with the 3rd party pads? Mine is a white one I got when I ordered the set on ebay..

I have yet to try the OEM pad, as I have that one at home....

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] :
liar ehhhh?

I have mine sitting just right no mods, not sure where you got your cruzer case from but it covers my phone just fine no silver rim and it charges just fine, again not sure where you got your wireless back from and what charge pad your using???
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] alxrock:
I got my Cruzerlite case from Cruzerlite's Amazon store, and the official Samsung wireless back from Amazon. It worked fine with charging through the case (I use a Nokia DT-900 charging plate). The case just didn't fit around the phone very well. I squeezed it in and try pulling the lip around the edges, but it just wouldn't fit well without the silver edges poking out, and the buttons didn't quite line up right due to the thickness of the phone.

It wouldn't surprise me if maybe each case fits a bit different, though. I was able to return mine for a full refund, so I'm not mad or anything, I just wanted to let people know that my experience with the case wasn't as lucky as yours.

Cruzerlite Case + Samsung Wireless Back+ Chotech Qi Charger

Here are the pics from so called liar!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] alxrock:
No offense, but that last pic showing the front of the phone is exactly what I was talking about. The sides of the case don't cover around the silver. I mean the phone is in there, but it definitely isn't fitting correctly or flush.

I mean, just because you can squeeze it in, doesn't mean that it truly fits... for example:

If I were not using my girlfriends piece o junk phone cam you would see I have glass screen protector that has rounded edges so all that gleam is coming from the light refracting back. The entire silver lining is covered and all buttons work! haven't seen a case that even comes close with no mods! Its ok keep working at it!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tangoboyz:
I tried the OEM Samsung Mini charing pad I have at home and it work perfectly. Soon as i placed the phone on it, it starting charging right away and when I work up this morning it was full.

So I guess this 3rd party charging pad does't work with the OEM back. Anyone recommend a 3rd party charger pad out side the 2 OEM ones?

ATT PMA charger cover to Qi?

I bought this same cover from an ATT store. EP-CG900IBA. I bought a Powermat 1x charging mat. The phone won't charge on the powermat. With some finagling around with position, I can get the charge sound to come on but it will stop charging with 30 seconds.

However when I use a normal Qi charger with this back. It charges the phone normally. No issues.

I had always assumed that the two standards are not compatible. So it this really a PMA compatible back cover?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
Yes it's compatible, At&t are supporting PMA, and in the USA all starbucks cafe is using PMA for customers to charge their phone, its not surprising that at&t asked samsung to make these.

Dual standard are starting to come out, I have a third party receiver that also supports PMA and QI.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eatonjb:
http://www.amazon.com/Duracell-Powermat-Device-compatible-Black/dp/B0082YVBMM

It say's right there ,

Duracell PowerMats are PMA compatible (not compatible with Qi) <----- it will not work with Qi, so the Samsung back will not work,
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
The At&t version is a dual format cover, it will work with both PMA and QI.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eatonjb:
odd, my bad, didn't know that
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jwon:
Thanks. So to clarify, you believe this cover is compatible with both PMA and Qi? I will try to find another Powermat charger and test it out since the one I have is not working with this phone and I have no other PMA devices.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
if you look inside the cover it does state both qi and pma.

qi is the main stream standard use by most people in many countries, whiles pma does have a small market, A4WP is a new format to follow up on, I was offered a sample, but the cost is too much, you can find demo on youtube, just search for A4WP.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jwon:
Thanks, kms. I completely missed the logos inside the shell.

I was able to get the powermat to work, but the positioning is ultra critical. With the knowledge that it should work, I kept at it until I got a link that was sustained for a long time. I had heard that PMA is more finicky than Qi but I wasn't expecting it to be this hard. Videos seem to show some magnetic positioning help for phones with their external covers. I don't get that with this charger and cover setup.

But in the end, I am happy with the setup. I can use Qi for the home and office. If starbucks or anywhere else starts to get PMA, I can still try it out. Would have been nice for samsung or ATT to be more explicit about these covers. But I know that goes against ATT's corporate strategy on PMA.

Thanks again
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
Starbucks all have pma, and I think some Mc donolds and a few other cafes, at&t is a member of the PMA, but not WPC(Qi), whiles samsung is a member to all the wireless standard thats available.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Chas10:
How does that PMA/QI receiver fit with the stock back cover? Is there much of a bulge?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] GorillaPimp:
The white OEM Samsung back works better with my N4 charging stand than the N4 did. It sticks to it much better.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] bigtexan99:
I have an OEM samsung cover bought off ebay and it is only Qi....there is no pma logo inside my wireless charging cover.

Integrated OEM wireless Charing

Here is quick description of my setup. After trying a couple of the eBay charging tags I couldn’t be happy with the result, or it was too finicky, or just not charging on my Nokia Chargers or loosing NFC, which I use regularly.

The best Charging Back is the Samsung OEM one, no question about it, so I figure out, why not take the charging tag itself out its shelf and try to fit this under a standard battery cover with some small modifications.

I am not doing an all-out how-too, I am just showing that it can be done and will be pointing a couple of little things that will require attention if you want to replicate this result.

My phone with the Ringke SLIM case, no bulge, sit flat.

The outside of the Battery cover, hard to see, but you can feel some very, very slight bulge.

Battery cover removed, you can see the OEM Samsung charging tag and the modified battery back.

Better view of the Batter back, I used an Exacto knife to scratch the inside, cut the little tabs and remove maybe 0.5 to 1 millimeter of material, seem little small, but really help taking care of the bulge.

Close up of the OEM Samsung Charging tag and of the sticker-less stock battery (to remove another 0.5 to 1 millimeter of height, also I added a layer of isolating tape between the circuit board and the battery).

There are a couple of locations on the OEM Samsung Charging tag that will require special attention to take out some height: the contact pins (sorry no picture) are significantly too long need to be shorten, I used a Dremel to cut the top of the contact, then fold the sides back toward the inside to recreate a smaller height contact point. Another point of attention will be the solder points from the NCF and Qi tag itself (as shown on the picture), they also are quite high, here I used a small metal file to grind 0.5 to 1 millimeter to material.

Once it is all put together I have fully functionally wireless charging, NFC, fitting the smallest case I could find.

Last point is ip67 waterproofing, there is one corner, close to the contact points, on the top left (see picture 04), where the stock rubber seal overlaps the circuit board, I think it can be worked around by rerouting one of the copper tracks, but that is little more involving and I will save that for another time, as I as quite please with the results as is.

Damn dude you did a hell of a job there. Good work, it looks great. It should be helpful for anyone who wants to use a case or keep it slimmer and keep NFC.

I guess we are just never going to have it all because the Carriers make things hard for us.

Thick, it's the thickest receiver on the market about 1.5 2mm thick, and it does create a bulge, but the battery cover does close.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] telveer:
After using an after-market wireless receiver for the past many months with my S5, I finally took the plunge and went for the original wireless back cover from Samsung. They are finally in stock and my 50% code brought the price down to about 20 bucks, which is hard to beat.

The after market single coil two-contact receiver worked for the most part, but it had some issues. The phone had to be exactly aligned with my Nokia DT900 or else, it would keep disconnecting or going into a loop. Also, once the charge was complete, the phone would bleep like crazy till I took it off the plate. This was a major nuisance because the bleeping could not be disabled (I did not root my device for various reasons) - and the phone sits right next to my bed at night. Also, even though I got one of the thinner receivers, it still added a small bulge to the original back cover. I also think the phone is probably not as water and dust resistant because the receiver sits very close to the rubber gasket on the backside of the original cover.

The Samsung wireless cover was shipped promptly and I have been using it for a few weeks now. The cover makes the phone thicker - I do not have a concern with that because I do not use a case. With the thicker cover, the camera at the back of the phone does not protrude out anymore. Instead, the camera (and the flash/heart-rate sensor) are nicely recessed into the case. Coming to wireless charging, I find that I don't have to exactly align the phone on the charger anymore. As long as I place the phone generally centered on the pad, it charges without any issues. And when it completes charging, there is no annoying bleep bleep sound, so I am able to sleep better at night.

The phone still comfortably slides into my car mount clip. The cover also does not have my Wireless providers name, and strangely, there is no Galaxy S5 imprint either. Also, I find that the phone is more comfortable to hold, although I wish the cover came with some kind of rubberized coating instead of the same dimpled "band-aid" look.

Update: Forgot to mention, NFC worked fine both with after-market receiver and Samsung Wireless Cover.

I just returned my charging back & samsung mini charger.

I don't know if they were defective or not, but i came to the phone twice pretty much burning up. It was so hot I couldn't hold it to my face, but was still running fine (surprisingly). The internal battery temp registered the temp in the fifties i believe.

Now I am having terrible battery life. I'm not sure if its adverse effects due to the heat or the curse of android 4.4.2 (android system).

Anybody else notice insane heat?
