Taken with my camera phone, not so good, but gived you an idea.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] DJayRage:
I have this one that someone stated does not add bulk (seems like the water resistance is not compromised).

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JTOO9G4/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't see the little gap under the camera that some other Qi wireless cards seems to cause. The phone does seem to charge at a normal rate but if I put my Spigen Neo Hybrid case on it charges much slower and the charging pad is way more picky on the placement.

I ordered this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/271329239542?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Since it seems like it works better than that little hockey puck Qi pad. Will post once I recieve it.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] diablo009:
Thank you. I didn't cut mine... I feel mine is cut very precisely not to come under those water proofing grooves. Or do you feel it is cutting along too close to make out?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
all S5 does have the slight gap under the camera, even without the receiver in the phone, and no qi wireless charging charger normal rate, the S5 charges max at 640mAh, anything inbetween the receiver and transmitter will reduce the signal, fyi the hockey puck charger in the first link if it's the authentic one, it's a better option than the other one you have selected.

They are all cut the same, but cutting it down slight allows the cover to fit easier.

Received my Qifull QT 30 from Amazon today. Together with Nillkin receiver card it charges very well.

Also received the genuine copper gold back cover today, so I'm happy...
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] diablo009:
Now that makes it much more easy. I'll use mine for a few days, and if works well with no issues, I'll cut mine too.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Chas10:
No, did not return. I'm still happy with the Nillkin. I use the Powerbot charger and it works great with the Nillkin, fast charging and not much heat. The Nokia DT-901 I use to charge my Nexus 2013. I haven't tried any other chargers with the Nilklkin.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] heffe2001:
Lucky you, I ordered mine on the 12th, and JUST TODAY got the message that it was finally submitted to the Hong Kong Airmail center. 5 days to go from the shipper to the local PO?? Guess I'll be on the outside of the delivery quoted :(.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] diablo009:
Cutting it even reduced the bump slightly :)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] matty_g_8:
This is the one I'm after and the t30 but dam Amazon won't ship them to Australia.... Looks like I'll have to try ebay
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
I have my white cover intact, and cut the gold and blue cover inside to give a better fit, if anything goes wrong I do have many more cover spare.

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

The part you cut is not near the IC, but the opposite side.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] diablo009:
Right. But, don't ask me why, the bump reduced slightly. Felt strange to me too.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
once cut you can put the reciever about 1mm to the right.

i bought this one as well. i found that lining it up on the nokia charging plate that i'm using (dt-900 http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-DT-900-...sim_cps_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0R9EEBQKABFT8KBWNZN2) is a bit difficult. if it's not in exactly the right place, it charges for 15 minutes or so, then disconnects and reconnects.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
For those who needs to know, there is a receiver on the market, supports both qi and powermat (P M A), made for the S5, i've already contacted the suppler for a sample, and from the information provided, they also.have samples of the A4WP format transmitter.

I measured the card with a digital micrometer and it's actually thinner than 0.5mm. Doesn't look like water is going to get into the phone but I'm not crazy enough to submerge my phone in water. I took some photos for you guys to see. There's no noticeable bulge when the battery cover is back on and the phone fits into my slim case perfectly. Hope this helps.

Yeah, I bought that too, and have also found that it seems to be very sensitive to alignment - if it's aligned just right it charges fast, but if not it can be very slow. Also NFC barely works with it. Shame, cos I'm pretty sure it wouldn't affect how watertight the phone is...
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] drwx:
the charging plate itself is fine.. i've used that exact one for several months with my nexus 5. i guess the qi charging area of the n5 is bigger than that little pad inside the sgs5. i'm not concerned about nfc. i'm wondering if a bigger charging plate will alleviate those issues.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] dricacho:
I bought the RAVPower Qi-Enabled Wireless Charger with the 4800mAh External Battery Pack Charger. I plop it on the charging surface and it instantly detect the phone and starts charging til the battery is fully charged. It's never a hit and miss, it makes a solid connection every single time.

I'll test NFC and report back.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] matty_g_8:
How does that charger pad handle when the phone reaches 100% does it stop charging then charge again once it drops ect?

Hi,

Can you please let me know how your Nokia DT900 + S5 PWRcard + Spigen Tougharmor case combination is doing?

I have a Nokia DT900 and DT910 + spigen case. I looking for a qi receiver.

If you can provide me feedback, that will help me decide.

Also, did you try with Nokia DT910?

Thanks,
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] coolguytoo:
I chose to take the card out after awhile because I value the IP67 rating over the ability to wirelessly charge. However, With the case, it did work. Charging was slow and a bit tricky to place on the charger but it did charge. I noticed, after the fact that the same company offer's a slim version, this might cut down on the bulge and in turn make it easier to place on the charger.

I did not try the DT910.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Marcenzeichen:
The slim version causes an bulge, too.

But it works fairly good with the original Samsung S5 QI-Charger through a Spigen Neo Hybrid.

Still waiting for the "Nillkin Quality Qi Wireless Charger Charging Receiver for Samsung Galaxy S5".
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
if you have the chance to return the nillkin receiver, do so, it has compatiblity problem with some transmitter.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] drwx:
the charge area from that pwrcard is very small.. as is the area on the nokia charger. i have a hard time getting them lined up right. I'm going to be buying a different charging plate that has a bigger area so it is easier to line up.

I don't notice any bulge with the slim pwrcard.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Marcenzeichen:
Did you use the double-sided adhesive tape? Maybe that's the reason for my bulge.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] heffe2001:
I'm using the Nillkin transmitter, and I'm getting the connect/disconnect/connect/disconnect on 100% charge, could that be a problem with my card, or my transmitter, or is that just the way it works? It's bad enough that it wakes me up in the middle of the night (screen comes on, and I still get the 'charge full' tone, even though the .ogg files are renamed, not sure where it's coming from at this point). Even though it gets pulled off the charger somewhere around 3:30-4am, I still always have battery left at the end of the day, my old S3 would have died around 2-3 in the afternoon tops, lol.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] alias_neo:
I'm using a different charger and receiver but having the same issue. The first couple of nights it charged fine and stayed charged, ever since, it's started doing the annoying beeping and recharging, and like you it keeps waking me up in the early hours, it's ridiculously annoying!

It needs sorting out because it makes wireless charging unusable.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] heffe2001:
Wonder if the Nillkin charger isn't sensing that the phone is fully charged, and not shutting down (at least that's how I understand it's supposed to work). Sometimes, it works correctly, gets fully charged, then cuts off like it should. Other times, you get the recharge-bounce.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] drwx:
No. I used clear packing tape.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F3J2KNI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 anyone try this one yet, i havent seen it in any threads in a while. i tired the bigger version of this card and it worked but blocked NFC and added enough bulk to bend the case out near the camera. i ordered this one and should get it on monday
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Rabangus:
I am using that one. Pretty confident water resistance will be maintained as there is virtually no bulge at all (and what tiny bulge there is is well away from the rubber seals that maintain water resistance). I'm using it with the square Samsung charger, and removed the copper strip from the back of the case. Works well, charges pretty fast, and doesn't get too hot. I tried a few wireless receivers and this is the one I'm sticking with.

I just ordered the same QI Card, I got a Nokia DT-910 QI Charger for $10, hopefully they will work together.

Why did you remove the strip from the stock cover? was it in the way? and what does the copper strip do?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
from what I was told from someone from samsung, it helps increased reception, but I think it there to affect the usablilty of 3rd party wireless receiver as it helps to interfere with the induction transfer power to and from receiver and charger.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Marcenzeichen:
It arrived today from China. Returning it from Germany won't be economical. But thanks for the hint. To late for me but maybe a warning for others.

I tried it and even without the Spigen Neo Hybrid, which is no problem for fone salesman S5 SlimPWRcard or the first Wireless Charging Receiver I bought.

With the Nillkin, the S5 and as well the original small Samsung Charger for the S5 recognize their presence, but no charging is possible. The Chargers led is green for just a second and starts flashing orange right after. I've tried many different positions, but I gave up after a few minutes.

Learned the hard way not to be one of the first customers, when importing from China is the only option. :cool:

I thought of the adhesive tape the fone salesman S5 SlimPWRcard is delivered with. But the bulge is caused by (I think nearly) the same chip (at least if you consider the construction height) every receiver uses, just in an other form or place.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
I got a few of the nillkin for a family member who asked me to buy them and will put them on ebay, she didn't want to deal with the return due to compatibility, so they were all removed from ebay on the second day, and I have to meet with the cost.:p
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jb_alphamale:
Anybody found this S5 SlimPWRcard for sale somewhere? The manufacturer has it but shipped is 31 british pounds which is hilarious.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
have you tried ebay and amazon, fonesalesman has their stuff there apart from his own site.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jb_alphamale:
Yes I did. Froogle too. I'll keep looking. Thank you though.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Hitch_Itch:
I just bought one yesterday from Amazon. I must have got the last one.

Tylt makes a good one from what I have read

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
it's the same one as the fonesalesman, not a very good receiver, i can get them for about USD 3-4 each.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] torr310:
I am amazed...any insight how you could tell they are the same?

So it is just re-branded/re-badged overpriced...
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
There is only so many receivers on the market, and all of them are OEM/ODM also known as rebadged, if you want you can contact the manufacture and order like 1000 pieces and you can have your name or company name put on it.

95% of those chinese receivers and transmitter sold on ebay and amazon are just rebadged.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ewokuk:
the question is which ones (if any) are any good
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
it's not easy if you buy online, I travel to china every month and I see whats available if not all, at least it's majority of them, I have contacts also, so I know whats available.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] dpwhitty11:
The thin and flexible ones with printed coils instead of physical coils are the ones you want to get.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] blessedswine:
ive given up on third party receiver and just purchased the wirelesscharging s flip cover, i liked the orignal i had, so this should be fine, i went through 4 of theese receivers and only one fully charged the phone but it blocked the NFC and got so hot.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Marcenzeichen:
The problem aren't the coils, the chip in the three receivers I own causes the bulge.

Here are the three (Fonesalesman SlimPWRcard, Nillkin NJ003 and an eBay Modell CW-RXS5) side by side:

And upon each other to see the different positions of the bulge-causing chip:
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] dricacho:
I have the same Fonesalesman SlimPWRcard also with the RAVPower Qi-Enabled Wireless Charger with the 4800mAh External Battery Pack. I have had it for about a month now and wireless charging has been flawless for me.

Question, isn't that copper strip on the battery cover for NFC??
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] dricacho:
I just made NFC to function with the Fonesalesman SlimPWRcard!! It's pretty easy to do. Just have to trim off some of the plastic but be careful not to cut into the coil. The trimmed areas exposed enough of the NFC antenna on the battery which made it work effectively. :D
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Hitch_Itch:
Do you have a pic of what you cut off?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] dricacho:
This is what I did on the SlimPWRcard, I cut as close to the coil as possible. It worked for me but I won't be responsible for anything if you end up damaging yours. ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Hitch_Itch:
O, Cmon, I was going to mail it to you so you could cut it for me :laugh:

Thanks for the pic
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Rabangus:
Not sure - it doesn't seem to have affected my NFC. I believe the main reason to remove it is to reduce heating.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] dricacho:
Yep, I discovered it yesterday that the NFC antenna is built into the battery. You can actually see the outline of the antenna on it. My Note 2 has the NFC antenna built into the battery cover. Anyway, I had no idea that the SlimPWRcard was blocking NFC until someone pointed it out. I don't use it so I would have never guessed it til the day comes when someone wants to beam something to my phone. I had just sanded the copper strip off of the battery cover using a dremel with an attachment. The phone still gets a bit hot while wireless charging.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Hitch_Itch:
UPS brought my SlimPWRcard and my Seido Dilex cover today.

I am charging it with the Nokia DT-910

It seems to be charging fine, slow but constant. If its in the right spot.

The only concern I have is the phone is getting really warm, When I hold the phone up to my face i can smell the hot rubber.

The Seido case has an aluminum kickstand with a magnetic holder in it. I wonder if that is causing any extra heat buildup

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] RedRamage:
Seems an odd place to put it. Maybe they trying to make it harder for third party batteries to get involved?

Do you find it's "less hot" after removing the copper?

I'm still trying to decided how I want to do this... with this slim card or with the official qi-back.

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

Ooooohhhh... I really like the look fo that charger. A nice "stand" and charger in one.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Hitch_Itch:
ATT is selling them for $10.00 right now. Check around all of your local ATT stores to see if anyone has them in stock.

You can also order it online and pick up at your local store that has one in stock.. This is what I did.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] dricacho:
To be honest, I couldn't really tell the difference. My phone also gets hot when charging with the OEM wall charger. Same goes with my wireless charger. It is also a power pack and the phone gets hotter when charging my phone using the power pack (charger isn't plugged into an ac outlet). However, the phone doesn't get alarmingly hot. My Note 2 does the same as well, so I'm not worried.

One thing that turned me away from the Samsung OEM wireless charging battery cover is that you have extremely narrowed down your phone case selection. Most cases do not work as they are mainly designed with the stock battery cover on the phone. Some people have forced the cases on the phone and try to make it work but the buttons no longer work as they should.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] RedRamage:
Crap... none in my area have 'em in stock. Thanks for the tip though.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] RedRamage:
Yep... that's what's pushing me towards this one. I like the slim case/holster clip that I have right now.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Ramer:
Anyone know what all of the contacts to the left of the battery are for? The reason I ask is because I originally got this wireless charging kit from eBay which has been great, so I decided to get another one (same type, only this time off Amazon). I only wanted the charging pad but I noticed that the charging card for this one uses 3 contacts. Any idea what the extra contact is for?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
s view
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Ramer:
Thanks :)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
I have a bunch of those under a different brand, much better quality than the old ltian one's, as it doesn't heat up that much, the reverse side should have copper contact, so you can use a oem/non oem s view cover or wallet.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jb_alphamale:
Newbie here but tried to read most of the posts in this thread.Question: is there any 3rd party receivers at this time that does not add any bulge at all. I have those 0.15 mm UTP cases.I like my phone as slim as possible. Thank you.

no

Reducing bulge with the Nillkin Charger:

To my dissapoinment, the nilkin charger was noticeable after putting back the cover, so I decided to do further 3 steps which helped a lot.

Do this at your own risk, understand what you are doing!

- Remove the front and back stickers on the Charger (see image 2). This will make the charger even slimmer. Peel-off carefully and slowly.

- Remove the copper sitcker from your phone back cover (image 1). (read previous posts) This makes more room for the card and increases charging efficiency

- Remove the battery sticker (see picture 3). Again, this increases the space available for the receiver coil

The remaining bulge is caused mostly by the TI chip on the receiver card, which is pressed against plastic chasis on the phone. I used very smooth sand paper to make a miniature hole in the plastic to make a room for the chip. Be caseful, as this is probably the most dangerous step, which could gamage your phone and of course you lose warranty...

After all this. The nillking chargin card is not noticeable at all.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] aeroxdefocu:
Instead of doing all this why not buy directly Slim PWRcard?Is 0.5 thin and it seems guarant whaterproof. ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] RedRamage:
I don't know that they guarantee that it'll still be water proof. I've got one myself and I'm a little worried around the spot by the camera. I think there might be slightly too much of a bulge there, though it's close.

For what it's worth there are video out there of a guy who's got one of these slim pwrcards and charges his device underwater, so it would seem that it is still water proof... I'm not planning on testing it myself, mind you!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] aeroxdefocu:
PWRslim seems not have problem arround the spot by the camera. I've buy it and in the next few days post a photos ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
There is a way to test it out, and a big chance that it will be waterproof, the chipset is the thickest part of the receiver, and thats what most people are concerned about, I won't advice it, but as the battery technology is quite soft, you can make a small dint in the battery just were the chipset will be positioned, that way the receiver will be thin enough to be placed without the bulge.

do this at your own rsik.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] blulite:
Have you tried this? I'm curios if there is/any effect on battery life?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
I have in the good old days with the S3.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] aeroxdefocu:
Today I recieved Slim PWRcard but.....:( have problem around the spot by the camera! :crying::crying::crying:

Here we are some photos of chip!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
Apparently they have changed the design of the receiver, the older version has the chipset lower down.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] RedRamage:
I've got the same issue myself... the back doesn't seem to close quite right by the flash Now, the flash itself is outside the O-ring, so that isn't the issue. The bigger concern is if the o-ring below the flash is held up too high.

I ended up cutting a very small, very thin piece of electrical tap and putting that on the lower side of the bezel around the flash unit. It sits between the flash and where the o-Ring hits. I'm hoping that this at least narrow the gap (if it exists) where water can sneak through the o-ring.

Obviously this just my tinkering and should not be any confirmation that it creates a seal or anything. Hopefully between the tap and the tight back clip case I have it'll be enough to prevent leakage if my phone gets dropped at the wrong time.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] aeroxdefocu:
yes. have changed position of chip and in new version is veri high and create problem around flash. In Old version semms not have this problem! :(

[MENTION=1206107]RedRamage[/MENTION] I thought of the same solution but using little piece of rubber. ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
update, I put this S4 receiver in the S5 and works, so it seems like most of the S4 receiver will also work, you just need to decide on the shape.

I've used the sandisk receiver for the note 2 and the quality is very good, i'm going to get the sandisk one and try it.

here is the photo of the yijieneng receiver in the S5, using this receiver the lid does close.

The sandisk one is quite smal for the size at 35mm X 45mm
