I have been reading about wireless charging for a couple years and never really pursued it on my Note 2 because I was with Verizon and they naturally removed it as they typically screw up phones somehow. I saw so many people that loved it and would go to great lengths to enable it. I decided after switching to T Mobile a couple weeks ago that I would give it a shot. I bought the OEM back and a cheap qi charger off of eBay and was disappointed with having to adjust my phone on the charger to hit the sweet spot. I decided to buy a Tylt charger and wow what a difference! I can literally place the phone on the charger in my case with no concern of finding a sweet spot because the whole charger is the sweet spot. It even works great through my wifes thick leather case. I love it and I find the rate of charge to be at least equal to a standard charger ( not fast charge) and that's great. I watched some netflix last night with my phone on the tylt (45 degrees)and it actually charged while streaming. I haven't personally plugged a phone in for more than 2 years since I just swap batteries out of my Samsung spare battery charger but now when I'm working or surfing at night my phone is always charging wirelessly and I never wake up with a phone that's less than 100%.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] syngiun:
Even though it subjectively feels like wireless is as fast as a standard wall charger, it is not possible.

Manufacturers specification for wireless chargering is universally 800mA, or 0.8A.

Check my math in the first post. At 4W wireless chargers are less than half the speed of of a standard 10W wall charger.

Hey guys, so I'm looking for a case that fits the added bulk of the OEM QI back. Any recommendations? I'm looking at the i-blason case but open to any other suggestions.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] svetlik:
"well over $200"? The qi charging back is $40. I got a 3 pack of Qi chargers for $60 (nokia, they come in a bunch of colors) so I could have one by my bed, desk at home, and desk at work. Numerous others are available for $10-$25 on ebay and other retailers. I'll happily pay $100 (qi back + 3 docks) or so to never touch the USB cable, fumble with a cable end in the dark, or try the cable backwards. When charging is easy you don't care about charging speed as much. 0.5 seconds to dock or undock (without even looking) will spoil you.

While I have multiple devices, I end up keeping my devices for 3-4 years with secondary uses. So even if I do get something new within 2 years I don't want the secondary device to die just becuase of a horribly designed charging cable that makes my first nokia dumb phone from the 90s look awesome. Imagine that after almost 20 years of USB might someday actually be reversible, maybe in 2015.

Never understood why the audio jack on today's phones is robust, easy to use, and impossible to get backwards. You could use it 10 times a day for a decade, yet most rarely use it. Nokia used to use a similar connector for charging, I could manage to plug it in with my eyes closed an one hand behind my back. To charge a phone daily you end up with a tiny fragile usb connectors that's easy to get backwards and difficult to get in correctly on the first try without careful examination. Already lost one phone to usb, I'm trying to avoid losing a second.

Both the microusb connector and expoxied in batteries reak of planned obsolence to me. Thankfully the note 4 can minimize both problems.

Oh, one last thing. The Qi Chargers do lose some efficiency. So if you get a charger that's USB powered you end up with a poor charging speeds. So I'd get one of the ones that come with their own wall wart. I use the nokia DT-900 (which comes with it's own wall wart) with my nexus 5 and it charges pretty quickly.

I have the wireless charging S view cover in combination with the S5 charging dock. I agree with what you are saying. The charging is really slow. Especially for such a high capacity battery used in the Note 4. I would not buy this setup again.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] yogi217:
Does the qi back protect the camera?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] syngiun:
Yes the qi back protects the camera lens in terms of keeping the lens from scratching on surfaces when you set the phone down. The added thickness casues the back cover to extend just past the lens.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] npsiwak:
Actually, Ive found that it does not extend past the camera lens, it makes the camera lens functionally flush with the back. Im a little disappointed in this and sort of wish it was "slightly" thicker. If it was, i think i would end up going caseless. I may end up doing what the OP described and going with the regular plugin. The batter last so long, i dont really plug it in except right before bed, and even then, i dont even need to charge it overnight anymore....

Simple question guys,how to root my S3 LTE i9305 on the official 4.4.4 from samsung?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Divshal:
Many ways to root the i9305. 2 ways i recommend are to use chainfire's method (bit complex) or framaroot (easiest)

To do all this,first have the USB debugging enabled. To do so,go to settings and navigate to "About Device". Keep pressing the build number 6 or 7 times till its says developer settings have been enabled. Go back and you will see "Developer Options"

Open the developer options and check the USB debugging option.

For framaroot Download framaroot http://xdaforums.com/apps/framaroot/root-framaroot-one-click-apk-to-root-t2130276

Allow the framaroot downloaded app to be installed when there is a prompt to whether or not to install apps from unknown sources. Open the app and select Aragorn. Reboot and you shall have the device rooted. Update the supersu from the google play store, then open the Supersu app and update the binary. It will ask if you want to disable knox,select yes. Then reboot and its fully rooted.

For chaifire, download this http://download.chainfire.eu/232/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.zip and extract to a folder. Turn phone off. Press the volume down,home screen button together. Then while pressing those 2, press the lock key and it will ask to whether reboot or go into download mode.Take note rooting voids warranty. Press volume down to continue to download mode. Now open the extracted folder and open odin. Select PDA and select the CF AutoRoot MD5 file. Connect phone via usb and lick start.It will do everything and reboot. Update the supersu from the google play store, then open the Supersu app and update the binary. It will ask if you want to disable knox,select yes. Then reboot and its fully rooted.

Always consider donating to the developer of framaroot and supersu (chainfire)

Are you sure it will work with stock kitkat 4.4.4? At the Homepage from chainfire it says, that CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305 is for 4.1.1. Also it says: "If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device". Do I have to unlock my bootloader first (or is it standard unlocked?) or simply ignore that? Sorry, if these questions are dumb, but I searched a lot and could'nt find answers.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Divshal:
The phone should have the bootloader unlocked already.

After I installed Faria 3.3 rom last week I started getting random shutdowns on my 8125. Today I plugged it in to my computer, walked away, came back and my phone was shut down. For good. I had it clocked between 192mhz and 240 mhz, but it was 192mhz when it died on me.

I bought the phone February 17, 2006, so my warranty is now over :( Do you guys think Cingular will help me out if I call their handset support tomorrow? But even then, this thing is unlocked and flashed a with a hacked ROM...am I in a bit of a predicament here? I can't really afford to buy a new phone (of this stature) right now.

Trying my best to keep my composure....but this ****ing sucks!!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jt_armstrong:
Give us some more info so that we can help you: Please confirm if you have tried the following:

Doesn't look good I'm afraid. I did a quick search on the forum and not a lot came up. Maybe it is worth a try with Cingular if it is big time broke I doubt if they will be able to detect that it was a cooked ROM that was on it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] I Got Served:
I did have it running at 276mhz for a couple of days last week, but I saw nothing wrong with it. I just wanted to save my battery life so I went back to 192mhz and then 2 days ago it started doing this. The first time it happened, I just switched the batteries and turned it on and it worked. Now this time, it won't turn on at all.

I'm gonna try calling them tomorrow, I just hope they even honor it considering it's been over a year. This is the second 8125 I've gone through though, last August I had a problem with my screen and Cingular sent me another me this one.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] newbie2:
Not Under Warranty

I really don't think you're going to have any luck with Cingular. First of all, if it's been over a year since the initial purchase, you're already out of warranty. Your replacement phone that you got in August doesn't carry a full one year warranty -- it's only warranteed until the 1 year anniversary date of the ORIGINAL phone purchased.

Secondly, even if it was within the warranty period, there are ways they can tell that it was NOT running an Official ROM. Oh, Cingular won't be able to tell when you turn it in, but they ship them to HTC for reconditioning, and HTC can tell.

It's because of people turning in their bricked phones under a warranty -- and the resulting financial losses from exchaning them -- that caused the carriers and manufacturers to turn up the heat to make Microsoft finally issue their edict of "cease and desist." Now, the ROMs are gone from the ftp and we have to "go underground" to tinker and hope that the file we download isn't corrupted or full of viruses.

What the carriers SHOULD have done, instead, was return those phones to their owners with a bill for the replacement cost. Maybe then people would have thought twice about making their phone carriers' responsible for damage the user had done to their phones.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] I Got Served:
Do you think there'd be any thing at all they could do for me? Maybe get me a refurbished one at a discounted rate since I've been a longtime customer? I pretty much just threw away $300 for 1 year of use...this is disgusting...

I just wish I had the resources and friends on the inside that other people do. Hell, my uncle is getting 3G on his 8525 through the MediaNet plan instead of Data Connect because of a friend he has over there.

I wanted to have wireless charging on my note 4 and still wanted to use the Samsung Protective Cover Plus.

I used the 50% discount code from Samsung and purchased the OEM QI wireless charging back. I then removed the Charging element from the Back cover by separating the back cover into separate parts. After you have successfully separated the back plate you can remove the charging element and place it underneath the original back cover.

I have been using this for four days with no problems.

We were evidently writing our wireless charging threads at the same time. I might try your mod. Are you able to fit a rigid case over the handset after your mod? Here's a link to my favorite case sold at Best Buy. I'd be curious about the results if you went into a store and "test fitted" the case.

Edit: Do you have access to micrometers or some other precision measuring instrument? I'm curious about a total net increase in thickness with your mod.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] harryhoudini66:
I was thinking about doing the same thing. The only thing I worry about is the heat created by the coil. Do you think it is safe not having a barrier? Would covering the coil specifically with something like this help?

I have used this mod in my note 4 for 7 days. I charge it every night on a Samsung OEM Qi charging pad. I have experienced no issues with heat or any problems charging it. I have tested NFC and the S-view cover all still function. I prefer to use this modification then a aftermarket QI charging pad due to the fact that this is an original samsung part so I don't think you will have as many issues with heat as you would an aftermarket part.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ntellegence:
Does it bulge a little? I also did this with my note 3 and the back got a little crack in it due to the phone resting on the bulge.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] skygear:
No. Remove the coil when warranty times roll around. You void the cases warranty you disessemble to make this work, but I bet a little glue would even fix that warranty issue.

I can say from experience that anything extra in the case will bulge it. As for cracking, I've never had that issue. Seems like that should have been a warranty issue and Samsung or tmo should have helped you out. Well omitting that there was anything extra in the case that could have caused the issue. ..

Me, I'm keeping the Samsung Wireless Charging Case on it. Love the uniform thickness now.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] harryhoudini66:
You mentioned in your video "snipping" tabs. I have mine almost ready to go. Could you post a picture of this tabs that you snipped? I want to confirm before I commit to the final piece.

BTW, using a heat-gun or hair drier, helped to not only disassemble the cover, but also remove the coil along with the tape and foil for the circuit board without much effort.

For those asking about heat, I can confirm the sensor. On my wife's S4, I used a coil and it worked without issue. On one occasions, I did hear the phone beep on and off, when I looked at it, it displayed a message the phone heat was too high and it was turning off wireless charging.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] skygear:
That was roger, the op. Not me. Just pause the video where he points them out. Or try yours for fit and measure.

I use heat guns all the time. My Milwaukie is on its last leg. I jabs destroyed the case and everything.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] harryhoudini66:
Sorry for the mix up. Yeah, it stick out a bit. I am wondering if it is just snipping the tip. If so, you will be getting rid of the flat part right?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] skygear:
Normally the tabs are for alignment of the case. Or to hold things in place, like the sim card(s), battery or micro SD cards in place. I would see what parts of the tabs ate interfering and cut them so they are flat in those sections.

The only advantage is the receiver coil is much larger than some of the 3rd party market coils. This means finding that 'magic spot' is much easier, it would be interesting to find out how much power this can take compared to 3rd party.

3rd party however might have smaller coil but are much cleaner and presentable.
