This is the one i got from ebay. I had to open all of my qi charges and reposition the coil just a littlebit for the reciever to work. But now all of them work including my car one.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] windstrings:
It charges pretty fast, when done it stops, phone is cool when done do I know it's not cooking it.. I'm using the 3 coil choe, but stock Samsung base same story.

The Zerolemon extra large batteries will sit over the connection points for a standard Qi receiver. Has anyone ever found a Qi Receiver that would work with the 10000 Mah Zerolemon batteries (Note 3 experience valid as these won't ship until 12/26)?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] deathshead:
Check out an app called bluetooth autoconnect.

my setup goes like this,

Get in car, start it,

pop phone in dock, plug it in.

bt turns on, connects, Car dock ultra opens.

hit audio app of choice.

Does anyone have a qi charger that allows nfc to work.

I have this one

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361111749...49&var=630453174308&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Works fine and charges fairly fast, trouble is my classic view case won't turn the screen on/off, am i right in assuming it's interfering with nfc?

If so which qi pad works well with nfc, and gives minimum bulge with decent charging?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Caelrie:
So annoying. They'll ship everywhere in the entire world, except Alaska or Hawaii. What sense does that make? Guess where I live...

How can you agree to ship to North Korea or Antarctica but not Hawaii?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] rcobourn:
Just received the one from cmarket14 receiver. Definitely better in terms of placement on the charging pad. NFC works. Tap to pay failed in my Versus case. Will try tomorrow with the Samsung cover.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Coop1979:
Just wanted to let everyone know that the $7 receiver from Aliexpress arrived the other day and works great with my Note 4 on the Tylt charger (if placed on it upside down). Have not tested NFC yet.

Qi Receiver on AliExpress
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nicopizza:
Thanks. At present I placed the NFC tag on the side, so I enter my car, tap on the NFC, place the phone on the dock and I am good to do (I use a Sony SBH20 Bluetooth and I just realize that Sony has an app for automating tasks with its Bluetooth products, so the app does all the work).
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] 2xbass:
I just got one of the official Samsung wireless charging backs and it is definitely a heck of a lot better than the third-party Qi receiver I got off eBay. Big differences:

a) Yes it definitely makes the phone thicker to the point that instead of the camera lens protruding from the back, it's now actually slightly recessed. The phone is slightly heavier too. The phone being thicker is OK and the fact that it protects the camera lens a bit more is good. The additional weight is not great but you quickly get used to it.

b) There is no positioning problem like I had with the 3rd party Qi receiver. You can centre the phone on the charging pad and not have to worry about offsetting it. The most wonderful thing is that there is definitely some magnetic pull as a result of either metal or magnets in the official charging cover. This works wonderfully with the official Nexus charger as well as the AirDock which both have magnets in them. You can just slap the phone on there, approximate the position, and then the magnets guide it into place. Works just as well as the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 did. Slightly less magnetic adhesion but still enough. Additionally with the AirDock, it helps the phone stay adhered to the charging pad in the vertical orientation. I had my phone fall off the AirDock twice because of recent cold weather and/or a bit of dirt on the AirDock surface which made the nano-suction less adhesive so I'm glad to have some magnetic adhesion again.

c) Current flow seems to be slightly higher than the third-party receiver - perhaps about 15 to 20%. I am getting around 475 mA using GSam Battery Monitor vs often below 400 mA using the third-party receiver. Note that with the fast charging mode using the plug-in charger I get about 800 mA.

So in all, it's definitely worth it for me to go with the official charging cover. However, I can definitely see a lot of cases would not fit. I have a SlickWrap vinyl skin on the way and am planning to just use that.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] rcobourn:
My experience with the official back is the same. Wish I could get a nice case for it though.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tylerjames09:
Caseology from Amazon, works like a champ.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] 2xbass:
Which one? Does it affect the wireless charging? I had a Caseology case for my Nexus 5 and it reduced the efficiency of the wireless charging. The case would get warm when charging.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] rcobourn:
I don't see a Caselogy that claims to fit with the Qi cover.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
I think he was mistaken! I have a Caseology with a charging coil inside the original back cover. The bulge is noticeable. I don't think a thicker Samsung charging back would allow

everything to close.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] windstrings:
Agreed, my Caseology has a bulge "small" but can't imagine it working with oem charging back.

And getting warm is not the cases fault...

If you can "feel" it, that's better than not... At least the heat is getting released versus being trapped.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] K.0.0.L.:
During charging, the phone gets super hot!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] windstrings:
Should just get warm.. Not hot.. If it gets hot install watchdog and see if something is jamming. Greenify will hibernate problem children.

But even plug in gets a little warm. Wireless the heat is in the coil, that being outside the phone shouldn't be an issue.. But extremely hot something is wrong.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] 2xbass:
Yes it definitely should not get hot
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kaitlyn2004:
Sorry I'm late to the party - so you can just buy that $20 slip card, slip it on top of battery/behind cover and you can now fully wirelessly charge the note 4? Any issues with this approach?

Sorry, can't catch up over 23 pages of posts...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] 2xbass:
It works but it's not as good as the genuine back cover. Read my post back a few steps.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tylerjames09:
The only difference I see is near the charging port (see pic) ... Other than that, the case feels the same as with the stock backing. This is by far the best fit I've seen with my OEM charging back.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
What tempered glass protector it's that? I've got to stop sitting on the fence and just buy one. I notice it has a little halo on one side. I wonder if you could post a pic of what the top side looks like?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] K.0.0.L.:
I'll let it get full charge and see how hot it gets. I removed on the first attempt. Report back tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tylerjames09:
It's the zagg hdx. Not glass but gets the job done. There is small halo on the two vertical sides but the top has zero halo, I'll update with photo soon.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] FormeriPhoney:
Better yet.. With some work attach it to the back cover so if you have an extra battery you can swap that out.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sweets55:
I got the Ebay one yesterday. I'm kind of bummed because of the bulge. I carry my Note 4 naked so that probably makes the slight bulge feel bigger. The phone doesn't lay flat now. I noticed the display came on when my phone was on the wireless charger. It was almost fully charged so maybe it was because of that. I might order the Samsung wireless back cover but not sure how much added bulk that makes it. Might just stick with fast charge.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] rcobourn:
The OEM cover adds about the same bulk as many cases do. I don't mind it at all. Once you've used it for a while I doubt you'll even notice the difference. Take it from a fellow buckeye. ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sweets55:
Ordered....$23.05 with the 50% off code. Not bad but why doesn't this come out of the box? I know the Nexus 6 does but it has a non removable battery. Probably just another way for manufactures to make money on accessories ha? Go Buckeyes! You think they can beat Bama?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jegonzo3:
I wish they'd consider the added thickness of the Samsung charging back when making these cases (for any model). I now have two different cases at home that won't fit my Note 4. I had the same issue with my S4, I got the Otterbox to fit, but had to modify it a little bit, I don't think it'll work with my Note 4 case.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] rcobourn:
Not really, but then I thought Wisconsin would be a close game. ?

So we bought a wireless receiver from the air dock's site to be used when/if those docks ship out. Since then my wife has been claiming her Note will sometimes get sluggish and freeze up. Can a wireless receiver do that?

Shouldn't happen. I have an AirDock and have no issues with it.

Seems Fonesalesman has made a 0.5mm version with NFC coil. made a new thread bu here are the details

I am subscribed to the manufacturer's newsletter, and today I have received one from them linking to their new product N4 Slim pwrcard;

http://www.fonesalesman.com/collections/qi-wireless-receivers/products/n4-slimpwrcard

What's great about it, by the looks of it, is that it won't create a bulge on your device like other cards would (I used S4 SlimPWRcard from same manufacturer before - it was a lot thinner than the competing cards I have tried).

Even better, if you're new to wireless charging or are looking to upgrade your pads, they provide a good limited time offer when you can get a receiver card for free when purchasing WoodPuck Charging Pad (http://fonesalesman.com/pages/woodpuck-bamboo-edition) from them.

Hope this helps some.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] rcobourn:
I'm not trying another one of these until I see confirmation of tap to pay working. ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] 2xbass:
At least with the receiver I used I really think it's not worth the trouble. Just get the genuine Samsung wireless charging back. It really is a big difference.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
My original Fonesalesman different look like that. I haven't sent it back yet. The second one I bought by another manufacturer worked fine with nfc, but now it's iffy! Might get this one.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] prysmatik:
Just a heads up that this post led me astray. I didn't want someone else to fall in the same trap I did. Thought I was in the T-mobile Note 4 sub-forum.

This charger is for the international n9100 , does not fit the n910t.

Always doublecheck your model #'s.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mbonus:
If you're talking about the one from cmarket14, I ordered it as well and it is working perfectly in the SM-N910T
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nerys71:
DId not work for me. Extremely finicky about position. JUST the right spot to the millimeter and it would charge for a second then disconnect. No joy. using samsung oem square pad.

the yoo one worked but was also finicky about position and was offset from center and blocked NFC.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mbonus:
What I did do is use some scotch tape to keep the contacts in position, it has worked fine using the Itian A6 charger in both landscape and portrait and I have a tpu case on the phone. Maybe I got lucky
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nerys71:
I thought maybe it was my case (thick leather) but no change even nakid. the yoo tech one worked but was finicky and off center. the other one suggested did not work at all (maybe I got a bad one? takes too long to ship to gamble on another) will just wait for a more substantial device to come along and be tested.

Just got Choetech Wireless Charger w/Note 4 wireless receiver kit: http://www.choetech.com/choetech-inductive-qi-wireless-charger-for-samsung-note-4/

Qi receiver fits perfectly under the cover of Note 4, and no problem charging the phone. The only problem so far, it can't charge through UAG case. Works ok naked. Is that what you guys experiencing as well? I assume these wireless chargers need to be as close as possible to the back of the phone/receiver, thus can only use a thin tpu case?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] windstrings:
I took a tiny piece of duct tape to the upper connection.. Works perfect through my leather Caseology case.. NFC too. .
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
Five or six millimeters is supposed to be the max distance!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] TeamHackura:
so which is th best reciever for Tmobile Note 4?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nicholb:
The OEM charging back works the best, but it does make the phone thinker and limits your case choice.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] flydeep:
Do you know whether the oem charging back will work with Otterbox commuter cases?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jegonzo3:
It will not unfortunately, I'm going naked for the time being.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] clintonroche:
It wont work unless you modify it... LOL I am not sure how, but you probably could if you wanted too.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jegonzo3:
Yeah, I'm not sure how you could modify it. I suppose you could cut off the rubber corners, glue it to the plastic somehow and then it might fit.

I have two cases at home I can't even use. If I found one that worked for both wireless charging and NFC, I'd go back to one you stick under the original back.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
I'm keeping my eye on the latest from Fonesalesman for the Note 4. I had to send the first one back, but the newer version looks promising! It has its own NFC chip below the Qi coil. One positive response last I checked on Amazon.

EDIT: That one positive response was the only one so far, lol!

Please keep us updated if you do eventually get that one.

He doesn't go into NFC at all, or rather he doesn't demonstrate it working. However, at least one reviewer specifically states he can use tap'n'pay! That's all I need to know, I'm biting as soon as I get my refund from their first version that I sent back.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sactownbwoy:
It should. I have the Sprint note 4 and it works beautifully. I have 3 pads, 1 at home, 1 I set up in my car in the phone holder and another at work. Wireless charging is so convenient.

Here is a picture of how I have it mounted in my car.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jegonzo3:
Got the new Fonesalesman unit today and I can attest that wireless charging and NFC both work. I currently have a thin case covering it and it works, I need to find my Otterbox case to see if it will work with it.

Woo-hoo! Time to buy!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ksoze:
Old post - but I too had heat issues with my Qi receiver. What I have discovered is that I when I initially got the receiver - I had peeled off the stickers - both sides - in an attempt to prevent the bulge. Did not work, since - at least for the receiver I got - the thickest part is actually some sort of chip - see attached picture.

What I suspect was happening was that the Qi charger was actually interacting with the NFC on the battery - After I placed the sticker under the qi charger between the receiver and the battery, no more heat issues. But as a side effect, NFC stops working - wireless charging also suffered a drop in speed. I have since removed the receiver and the sticker definitely blocks NFC from working - even with the cover off and with the NFC tag touching the battery + sticker. Works perfectly fine once the sticker is removed.

The other side of the labeling look like this:

View attachment 3112440

This Qi receiver does not work with NFC - ant the chip caused a pretty awful hump - enough that it shifted the contact point between the TPU case and the volume rocker. Was unable to adjust volume without removing the stock battery cover and using solely the TPU case as protection.

I ordered this one mid December - not sure if there are any updates to it. Ad claimed no interference with Phone features - but obviously they have now started specifically mentioning NFC.

Qi Starter kit for Note 4?

Greetings,

I'm new to wireless charging but thought I'll give it a try with my new Note 4.

At 1st in the office and then, perhaps, in the car.

I see many options here varies in quality/costs.. but before I choose the pricy OEM or branded items... I wonder if you could recommend a decent "starter kit" of receiver/charger?

e.g. I see the CHOETECH combo at amazon for $36... or a combination of the PLESON Slim or YooTech with a cheap transmitter...

I just want it to be:

NFC compatible

Suitable to be installed below the OEM back-cover w/o significant bulging or creating case incompatibilities..

Be fairly efficient and decent quality

I don't mind AMAZON, eBay, AliExpress etc..

There are just so many options I'm a bit lost...

Thank you :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] windstrings:
That's the base I use, it's a good one, make sure you order the 2.1 amp charger top, it doesn't come with one.

The back reciever you use will determine if NFC works.

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

This may be a good back for you, the ones with slight thicker coils work farthest and skinny works best for NFC since NFC is actually in the battery area

Check this one out

To those who have successfully performed the charging back mod and removed the official coil, what technique did you use to shorten the pins, and how did you measure how long they needed to be?

Cheers,

Steve
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] windstrings:
That's the first I've heard of a mod are you trying to use a receiver from another phone, why the need for a mod?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
I'm talking about the mod of taking the coil from the official Samsung QI charging back, and putting it in the standard cover so it will still fit in cases.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] windstrings:
Sounds like an expensive way... Does that leave zero bump etc?

The reciever I have now works fine with my Caseology leather backed case.. Has a slight raised portion approx 2.5" X 1"..i did trim it a tad... I'm guessing it would work with any case.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
I managed to get the official QI back from eBay for just £11 (which is about half the price of other places I've seen it) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIGINAL-...COVER-CASE-CHARGER-/201259485083?roken=cUgayN

It looks thin enough so that the bulge will be minimal, but it has the advantage a of a) central coil, b) NFC aerial, and c) quality. My cheap eBay one works better than the first one I got from Amazon, but the coil is off-centre and a little picky with the cheap bases I use (especially when I have my Ringke slim case on).

I just need to work out the best way to reduce the size of the connector pins, and give it a go.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] RaymondPJR:
Where is the thread or video of the modding process? I put off my purchase off the phonesalesman because I'm moving (expenses). I'd like to take a look at this mod.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] StevePritchard:
Check out this video http://youtu.be/2-FEBpDieOg

I've just done it (I clipped the pins/tabs as suggested) and my back cover fits without any modification (removal of the Ridge or lumps). When I have some time, I will tidy it up, remove the excess plastic and stick the coil to the back so it can be removed easily.

------------- Edit --------------

FWIW I've tidied up my install. The main "bump" on the back is where the solder on the circuit board is, however, it's practically bump-free if:

1. You remove the plastic sticking out from the inside of back of the case that is in line with the coil/circuit board.

2. File down the solder that connects the ribbon cable to the circuit board to make it stand less proud.

3. (optional) scoop out some of the back to make a recess for where the solder is.

My "official" coil is now at least as flat as my previous coil, but (I'm assuming) NFC functionality will be totally unaffected because it has it's own new antenna, and the coil is completely central and less picky than my previous one.
