Yeah i'm gonna go with the samsung official one :) After i read that someone with the lifeproof fre case has the samsung official back cover for charging and confirmed it does not interfere with the case, i decided to get that one.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Cholerabob:
I personally see no gaps or bulging with the wireless pad installed BUT i don't use the heart rate monitor and have not tested ( nor do i plan to hopefully ) the water resistance. For me this works very well, and i am very happy with it.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] edlee:
what does the magnetic shield do, and what are the cons for peeling it off?

I only use the white rectangular Samsung charging pad throughout my house and office.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Scooz16:
I have the Itian. Seems to work fine but it does get pretty warm. I can still touch and wouldn't call it HOT, but very warm. Can this be damaging to the phone/battery? I am considering another option or to just stick to wired.

Thoughts? Should i stop using? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tkurkowski:
A decent solution is on its way. Diztronic is making a case tor the S5 with the OEM Qi charging battery cover - see the last few pages of the "Cases that are compatible with the wireless charging back" thread here. Diztronic cases are well respected and not expensive, and US$30 for the Samsung Qi back isn't too expensive. I'm happy with my S5 with the Qi back and as far as I can tell I'll be happy with the Diztronic case.

You could argue that a US$650 smartphone darned well should have included a Qi coil. But I think this is like flat screen TVs - minimum phone thickness seems to be what the public wants just like they want a minimum bezel on an HDTV. Then they whine about crappy sound coming out of speakers the size of a thumbnail - go figure.

^ I found a couple of cases that will also work with the phone. Go to the forum you mention for the info.

Not that far.....

I ended up with the FULL Samsung solution (Pad and back cover)........ and retain all the other charger pads.

I got your point with the TV comparisson, however the S5 has a good set of sensors and features, (some of them are nonsense to me) and the weight and size has steadily increased along the S3, S4, S5 series...... so a simple thin embedded coil would be unnoticeable, should they decide to implement the solution.

FM radio for instance is out on the S5 ¿? Stratetegic desitions I guess.......

So imho if QI chargers become mainstream, and I think they will, manufacturers will follow the tide and we all will forget about coils, pads and the rest. :)

Regards.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tkurkowski:
That's also what I use - my S5 is a business machine. But my wife also has an S5 into which I installed a Qi coil that works just fine. I'm concerned about the breach of the water resistance but, frankly, more concerned about her losing a $650 phone because the holster doesn't lock its jaws on her pants. Yes this is a work in progress but I really do love this S5 baby computer, and so does she!

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

Forgot to mention - I think they are mainstream except for Samsung. My boss' personal smartphone is an older Motorola Droid and he's been using Qi wireless chargers with it for some time now.

Yijieneng and Nokia DT-910

I received Yijieneng qi receiver which I bought from ali express.

Here is my experience with Yijieneng qi receiver, Galaxy S5, Spigen Slim Armor case (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I3UWD7C/) and Nokia DT-910 charger.

The battery app I used to measure the info is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw

1. There is a small bulge. But its not noticeable. I have not used other receivers hence cannot compare.

2. If placed in portrait/vertical on the charger, it doesn't charge. 1 out of 10 times, it recognized the phone (small LED on the charger will come on) but within 3 sec LED would change to flashing (meaning charging stopped).

3. In landscape mode, charging was consistent. 1 out of 7 times, it disconnected 3-4 secs after placing on the charger.

Otherwise, it charged fine.

See the images for more deails on battery statistics and summary

Is yours the qi/pma version or just the qi version.

I have the qi/pma version coming in soon, but i don't have the phone anymore, just exchanged it for a galaxy tab S 8.4, will be getting the S5 advance version with 2K display next month.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
Did you get what you want.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] TheM@n:
I did, it is in the ordering process now. I ended up getting 2 chargers as well to help offset the shipping cost.

Again, thanks for all the help.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
Yijieneng has contacted me and has shipped out the new PMA (powermat)/QI receiver, should have it tmr or the next day, and since i don't have the S5 anymore, I will have someone or if I can steal my friends S5 to test it out.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] yoonus:
I see only qi label on the receiver.

I also don't have a PMA charger to confirm.

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

I had contacted Power qi to request a sample for N500 (slim version). 3rd one in 1st post.

The offered the product but shipping quote was very high.

They directed me to 'SlimPWRcard 0.5mm Qi Receiver' on amazon. She said, its OEM version of N500.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/321423090586?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

any negative about it? thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
not for this one, i like to use this one, the only bad thing is , it's too wide, but you can trim about 3-5mm down as shown in the photo for a better fit.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Gilg@mesh:
ok, maybe hard question, but does it affect the IP67 rating?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
I think they all will, even though the receiver is very thin, the rubber seal is very shallow, i'm sure not many people will test this out.

sorry can't help you on that unless you are willing to test it out.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Gilg@mesh:
ok I use a TPU cover that is fitted very tight together with a rubber plug that covers the 3,5mm audio so might help a little, but if anything goes wrong I get a new phone, no problem :D
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
The audio socket is water resistant, that won't make the different, it's the back cover, and the TPU case won't prevent water seeping in.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Gilg@mesh:
yes I know but I thought extra protection won't hurt, I will sink the phone about 30 min in the water as soon as I get the receiver.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
trust me, it won't work, but good luck.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Gilg@mesh:
you mean water will get inside because of the receiver?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
correct.

Samsung finally has the wireless charger back plate in stock. If you register with them, they will give you a 50% off coupon making it about 19$ (15 for the back and 4 for shipping). It is normally 30 for the back plate. Yes its maintains the water resistance of the normal non-qi back.

The oem one is not bad, but it's not totally water proof, although it's IP67 certification.

Nor is the original back plate.

I might switch to the sony z2 when it comes out in the US since it is truly water proof, which is a big deal for me.

Btw, here is my discount coupon code. Give it a shot, might work. Good for stuff up to 50usd.

I already have it, along with about 20 other receivers, they are just lying around, I don't have the S5 anymore, but i'm still here for support.

newest addition is a third party qi/pma receiver.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] snak3y3z1001:
lol i can tell you personally it is not waterproof. Thats after I removed the bottom layer of sticky paper and shaving some of the sides off. Pretty much the entire reciever sits right on the batter except where the prongs sits on the contacts. Closed it all up tight. Ran water all over the phone for a few seconds. especially where the flash is located on the back.poped it open and there was water inside. quickly shook everything off and dried it out. still works. a small corner of that little water sticker turned pink.

I have the Nillkin one and several charging pads. I have big problems. Very very sensitive for how I place the phone. It can stop charging anytime and NFC works really bad.

I have also ordered the SlimPWRcard. I have one KoolPad from Fonesalesman and I used to have the SlimPWRcard for S4 (0.4mm). I was really happy with that one.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] aeroxdefocu:
Quote for nillkin pads. About Slim PWRcard i've read only positive feedback. Amazon has estimated delivery for wednesday I'm looking forward to try it. :D:D
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] taztech:
Bought the yijieneng one on Aliexpress before this review was posted. It is definitely very, very thick. I have an SView case and can't even get the back to close all the way with the receiver installed. :( Needless to say, I'm not relying on the water resistance right now.

It does allow the SView cover to function correctly and it works on the charging pad in our car. I have no idea how to test NFC so cannot speak to that function.

Even though I have no intention of giving my phone a bath, I do at least want the back to close all the way. I found the 6th receiver from the original post on Ebay and for a whole 6 bucks, decided it was worth a try. Will post again when that one comes in.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
It does close. you just have to do it slowly from top to bottom.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] chungdae:
Just ordered the PWRSLIM! Let's see how it works.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Orka82:
I received my slim card yesterday. Almost as bad as Nillkin. I had to remove it and now I'm back to s view with wireless.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] numus:
Which one of these do you think would maintain waterproofing the best?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] chungdae:
I received my Slimcard today and mine seems like it fits np. The back cover seems to fit without a problem
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] taztech:
Following up on my post from a couple weeks ago, I received the 6th receiver from the original post a couple days ago. Visibly thinner than the first one I bought (yipin/yijieneng). I couldn't even get the case to fully close with the first one without some serious gymnastics. This one is much better and it has the 3rd contact so S-View works great. Not planning to intentionally give it a bath to test the waterproofing, and I haven't had any reason to use NFC so I can't speak to that function. For 6 bucks it does what I want it to do at the moment though.

Any one get the TYLT VU-MATE?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] b0ng0:
I currently have the standard card that comes with the CHOE wireless charging kit (most popular on Amazon UK for the S5) and I'd guess the thickness is at about 1mm. Produces more of a bulge than I'd prefer.

Are any of the cards reviewed of the 0.5mm variety? Thinking about getting one but they aren't cheap, just wondering if the 0.5mm makes that much of a difference?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tkurkowski:
You do know that Sammy makes an S-View case with the Qi receiver built in, right?

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

No, it's very expensive. But we have five of these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/26150291499...49&var=560382297404&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

They're not from the same Chinese factory as Tylt gets theirs from, but they are almost identical including the important 3-coil design. We love them - they NEVER fail to connect either with my S5 with the OEM Qi back, or with my wife's S5 with the "fone salesman" aftermarket Qi coil receiver (those aftermarket coils can be quirky connecting to a Qi charger). They don't come in as many colors as the Tylt (only black, white, and blue) and you have to be willing to wait 10 days for them to be delivered to you in the US from Hong Kong. But they're $30, half the price of a Tylt, and Lily is really great on customer service - she will email you to be sure you're satisfied. Highly recommended.

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

The "fone salesman" coil is 0.5mm and of the 3 aftermarket coils I've tested, is the best in my wife's S5. Best means it always connects to our Qi chargers and produces the least bulge in the back of case and the least heat while charging. Note that none of these will retain the S5's water resistance - only the Sammy Qi backs do that.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] idle0095:
I ended up buying two and I love them. $20 a piece is not that bad. They work great with there own TYLT charger.

Can anyone help me figure out how to search for the number 6 reciever being that it is unbranded. I have been searching amazon and ebay for ones that look similar but cant find it . I need one that works with the s-view case and is thin. Any help would be appreciated . I would like to put my order in tonight

NEVERMIND. FOUND IT
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Dark_Vortex:
Out of the receivers listed in this thread, number 6 seems to be the one to go for if you want thin and leave the option open for using an S-View case later. I just ordered one for myself and one for the GF off of eBay (which seems to be the only place to find this particular receiver). Now I just need to find some reasonably priced charging pads to go with them.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] spirodave:
Yeah I ended up finding it and sent a message to the seller and he told me it works with the S-View case but it drains the battery really fast because it shorts one of the pins to another . main reason I didn't buy it .. So beware . the Q&A thread on ebay or amazon is where you will find the sellers answer to the question..

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

I contacted the seller for the number 6 wireless receiver and he said it will work but will drain the battery really fast because it shorts one of the pins causing the fast battery drain.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] taztech:
Yeah. But I already owned the non-Qi version. Didn't want to drop another 70 bucks on another one.

Besides, I've only seen the Qi version in boring colors (black or white). I kind of like my teal one. :D
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tkurkowski:
Can't blame you for that. My wife has the AT&T gold S5 and she isn't about to cover it with anything except a gold case.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] BrokeNeck:
I have this kit from eBay, no buldge but I would like to think the contacts would be more secure than just being pressed together with the back of the phone.. .

It's very touchy about position..

I was going to link the kit I bought but I'm a note n not allowed, it's

Qi Wireless Charger Charging Pad+Receiver Kit for Samsung Galaxy S3 S4 S5 N2 N3

I just ordered the slimpwrcard I'm hoping it will work better. Are there bigger differences in receivers or pads?

I'm hoping he slimpwrcard will work on that pad included in the above kit but better than the one that was included..?

Any recommendations for a cheap pad that works well, or anything to look for in a pad?

Update ;

With the slimpwrcard I can charge using the pad from the above mentioned kit much better, with a case and with 30 sheets of paper in between.

Any suggestions for a charging pad under $30 or even 20 bucks, the sweet spot on my pad is still pretty hard to find and im generally very good at finding that kinda thing..
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
The receiver has 3 pins, one pin is a direct through contact and does not connect to the wireless receivers function in anyway, whiles there is another pin that is used by both the s view and wireless charging, this is also the same if you purchased the oem, there really isn't a power drain, but the s view cover does require some power for it's function, so if you are worry about s view cover using power don't use the s view cover.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] spirodave:
yeah i really aint concerned about the s-view draing power . I asked the seller if the reciever worked with the s-view case and he says it does but will drain power really fast because it shorts one of the pins. I guess ill go ahead and order it if you are saying the seller dont know what he is talking about . Did you purchase this specific reciever.?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
All the receivers posted in the first post are mine, I purchased a few of each for use and testing.

To help you with your purchase, if you intend to use the OEM s view cover, it's ok, if you are after the non OEM and a third party brand, you need to know, that the operations of the s view functions are available on the market that works in different ways.

some s view covers work through a app which can be download from instructios on the package (does not require the chipset on the s view cover).

some s view covers uses the sensors, either the light or detection sensors (does not require the chipset on the s view cover).

OEM and non OEM require the chipset, and a magnet is position at the bottom right of the flip cover for detection.

Hello, I just got this one in today and it works great using my Samsung OEM wireless charging back http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KHGMMLC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Dark_Vortex:
While we're pleased your new purchase works well for you, this thread is discussing the wireless receivers (the part that goes inside the phone) rather than the wireless pads (the part you plug into the wall).

Back on topic, I had ordered two of wireless receiver #6 and I'm relieved to find out the power drain accusation is false. Of course using an S-View cover is going to use power...makes sense. Any time the screen is on there is going to be a power drain, but I think it's the language barrier with the seller that gave the impression that power drains quickly.

Just wish the delivery time was quicker...I'm eager to get my hands on these to test them out.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] dbrown2:
Thank you for your input and I would agree that this thread is about receivers based on the topic. I was reading from the first post to the last and notice a few members looking for a low cost pad that worked well and thought I would help another member out with my experience. Although I do appreciate you explaining the difference between the two devices and the nomenclature used to describe each I think already have a firm understanding of them.

kind regards and back on topic.

just wanted to put this out there for yall, im using this card, in my S5 and it does create some bulge in the back, but i have just found out that even with that bulge i can put the otterbox defender case on and still get my phone to wirelessly charge with a Nokia D900 charger, did find out that my anker wireless charger doesnt work with this case on though. just some info i figured id pass on.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] nutttr:
Got the number 2 card from the original post. Tried to find number 3 but couldn't. Tried it out tonight, works perfectly.

I cut the little bits off the back cover as shown in the OP and also sliced about 3mm off the edge of the card on the side opposite the connectors. Makes it fit better, and in my one, didn't damage it.

Definitely produces a bulge, but only small!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
I think the number 2 is better than the number 3, the detection is better, produce less heat and the location of the induction charging is directly in the center of the phone, the thickness is so small you won't notice the differences between the two.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Dark_Vortex:
All right...I received my receivers a few days ago, but waited till I received my charging pads to install them as I wanted to make sure they worked after installation.

Before I lay out my experience, I'd like to thank kms108 for starting this thread. Before I read this thread, I thought all Qi receivers were going to be the same. I had no idea there were differences in thickness, materials used, and S-Cover compatibility. I would have wished for more head-to-head comparison in the OP, but since he had sold his phone before posting it is definitely forgivable.

I had ordered two of the #6 receivers to install in our two pre-ordered launch-day S5 phones (one gray and one white). What with the contacts being held together by pressure only it's really easy to not get everything lined up correctly, but I didn't have too much difficulty. After installing one of the receivers I couldn't tell a difference in any way in the the fit of the back cover. No bulges, no gaps, no nothing. I purposely installed it in the other room and passed the phones over to my SO who was unaware which phone contained the receiver. She couldn't tell which phone had the receiver and which one didn't....success! Installing the second unit resulted in the same result with no visible bulge.

Wireless charging has been uneventful. No weird beeps, no disconnects/connects after the phones reaching a full charge, and the phones don't get any hotter than when charging direct from an outlet. I will refrain from mentioning charging times at this point in time as I'm still waiting on my 2.1A wall adapters to arrive.
