Galaxy S4 wireless Charger - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

Impressive on wireless charging of Lumia 920 and hope my new mate GS4 could also support the advanced features, and it's better if there are some wireless charger for GS4 as well...

Samsung Galaxy S4 will support wireless charging. And a the wireless charger will cost $59.99. The charger is said to hit stores in April.

The i9500 has extra connections for both NFC and wireless charging, only the i9502 or may be service provider models such as sprint or verizon may have them removed.

Will the wireless charging enabled battery cover (which will be required alongside the charging pad) add much (if any?) thickness to the phone?

I think it's best to wait for the actual release of the phone first, as the wireless charging has not been officially released or confirmed yet for the s4

Found an answer to my question here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OKgeZPyiHo

If it has the Qi standard, I think Lumia and N4's wireless charging dock might also work for GS4.

maybe it will support gs3 too.
(that sounds great)

Does anyone have an update on the Qi charging accessory? I haven't seen it available online anywhere.

This is what I found in a local hong kong magazine.
top price for transmitter, and bottom price for the receiver battery cover.

I bought a Palm pixie charging kit for my S3. Since the phone got stolen late last year, I still got the kit unused.
Gonna try it on the S4!

I'm really starting to worry about the wireless charging accessories for the S4.. Mentioned quite a bit in the leadup to device release, then suddenly quiet.. Deja vu - the exact same thing happened with the S3, and there's still not an official wireless charger available for that.

Brand Samsung Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915 S Charger Cover+Wireless Charger pad Wide

I've been reading the threads as far as people trying to find a wireless charger set for the Galaxy Note Edge. I found a link of a seller based in South Korea where they have them in stock. I ordered mine this morning.
I can't post any links since I don't have more than 10 post but attached a screenshot in the Word document attached.

OUCH that is pricey... This one is cheaper...
Samsung Galaxy Note Edge Wireless Charging Battery Back Cover S Charger Genuine
His includes the charging base. It's not a bad deal if you want the Qi base to be OEM. If you have another base already then just buy the cover.
I would love to get one of these but that then leads to the question of compatible cases...
I'm waiting for Flip Wallet with charging back.
I am also looking for the same. It is however too expensive for just being a wireless charging battery cover. Can someone confirm if this wireless charging cover is compatible with new wireless "fast charge" pads/stands from Samsung. I mean is it rated to utilize the fast charging capability or will it charge at the normal speed even at a fast charging pad.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
Fast wireless charge is only for s6 and up, I think.

As far as I know, fast wireless just depends on whether the base and the charger at the wall are fast chargers.
Either way, the battery and the coil don't care.

Lost my charger. Where can I buy?

Was on thanksgiving vacation and just lost my Samsung charger for the edge. Where can I buy an original Samsung rapid charger?
I only see the travel charger on their website. Thanks
Probably eBay or Amazon.

I only see chargers from S. Korea, and with non standard wall plugs. Samsung need to get their act together. As much as I despise iphones. At least when they release a phone, accessories and cables are always readily available at their online and retail store.
Now I have no idea where to go to buy an original Samsung charger. it's not available on their website or with ATT/T-Mobile. This is pretty rediculous.

You can use any descent micro usb cable and a 2.1a charger (or better). I have tested mine on a HP touchpad charger, fleabay 2.1a ac chargers ... I even charged my Edge with an ipad 2 charger + my own micro usb cable this morning at work (charged really quickly).
Search eBay, I just did a search and found s bunch of them. Use the term below to do your search.

I really wanted the original adaptive fast charger with Qualcomm quick charge 2.0 specs.
I can't tell from eBay if these are just samsung travel charger or the charger with the fast charging specs they heavily promoted
It's just really stupid samsung makes us jump through hoops. I think they literally want us to buy another phone to get a charger. It's nowhere on their website at all.
I ended up buying a tenergy with quick charge 2.0 specs On amazon.
Thanks for everyone suggestion

So I got the S6 wireless charger at best buy for 35.99 normal price is 59.99. The useable area is perfect I can just throw it on I dont have to fiddle with it to get it to charge.

I know that the cheaper chargers can work but its a $700 phone ill stick with the official Samsung charger personally. My friends uses a cheap 6 dollar wireless charger but I believe it charges at 500mah compared to the the official ones 1amp/1000mah.
Got my S6 a week ago. And got the White charging pad for free

Nice I missed out on that deal, this was the next best thing though. My fault for always getting a phone on release day.
Got one from ebay, although it's cheap, it works great with my edge, and it doesn't flash light, so you can put it in your bedroom.
For anyone who need one in bedroom.

S6 Wireless charger

Been looking for a spare charger for work and the s2 one is about £25.
Was in a retailer who had the s6 wireless charger £25 on a display stand tried my s7 which worked then thought try my s2 which worked perfectly soon as I dropped it on the charger.
In the past heard people say the s2 won't work with.
I bought one direction from Amazon works fine on everything except my s2, wondering if it's fake or the charger doesn't always work with the s2.
Anyone tried it on there s2 ?

Mine doesn't work either. It keeps going charging and stopping no matter what position I place the s2 on the pad.
Was your a standard charger or fast charger (new desktop style) ?
I ordered and testing a new style fast charger, that does not work also.
Went into two Carphone Warehouse tested the display standard charger, 1 worked 1 did not.
Interestingly though the S2 always works on the Belkin Qi charger
There was a thread on this a year ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/help/gear-s2-charger-compatibility-t3221837
The bottom line is that standard Qi chargers can be made to sort-of-work with careful positioning, but they eventually overheat the watch or just stop charging. You can get yourself a little charge from some standard chargers in a pinch, but the S2 is basically not compatible with any but S2 specific chargers (and there are 3rd party S2 chargers that are pretty cheap).

Mine is Samsung wireless fast charger (horizontal). I also tried the QiStone+ but same thing happened (nonstop charging and discharging right away) The watch got hot so I assume it may harm the battery life

Wireless charging worry free

I've seen more than a few questions arise about certain wireless chargers and restrictions, but don't worry. My wife has the Mophie wireless charging case and charging pad for the iPhone 7+ and the built wireless charging on the S8+ is compatible both with and without a case. So for anyone spending extra for a specific wireless charging package keep it simple it works!
It may not work with every FAST wireless charger... I have 6 that I used withe S7 Edge that worked great, but 4 of them do not work with the S8+ for no obvious reason....
link to the one you have....Also are you using your supplied cable?
I got the RooRoo (stupid name) on amazon for $21 and it's been working fine with my S8+. Got it for the S7E originally. Supports fast charge and doesn't have any trouble. Phones in a case and the charger is only tall enough to touch just below the camera.
Edit: I do both technically. If I need to use my phone or I am at work, I tend to just have a corded charger I use. Else wise I use the wireless stand.

happen to have a link for that charger? and how thick is the wifes iphone 7 case? im getting the poetic revolution case for my s8 and wondering if that will work. lol, this case doesnt look to be near as thick as the poetic one for my lg g4...but never tried wireless with it.
thank you
I noticed that the battery temperature hits 38 degrees C when wirless charging (both on fast and normal) while not exceed 26 C in weird non fast charging, ambient temp was 19 C in all cases.
Will the higher battery temp during wirless charging degrade the battery? Does anyone know?

I have the s8+ she has the ip7+ hers is a charger case but her wireless charging pad from the Mophie charging brand works fine through my spigen case
I received my Samsung Wireless Fast Charger yesterday in the mail. Man, I LOVE this thing! 1st time using Wireless charging, I didn't know what i was missing....
Works just fine through my Spigen Neo Hybrid case on my S8+
I got 2 of the Elephas fast charge wireless stands for my S8+ and my wife's S8.. They don't work much at all, despite their positive reviews.. When using the adapter the came with the phones, they continue pause charging every second, until the phone gives up and says it's not compatible. If I plug them into a iphone adapter or a pc via usb, they charge but still randomly stop sometime through the night. Usually in the 80%'s.. Going to try different chargers..

I got a cheap as chips wireless charger from Ebay, £5.99, Not fast charger, but works perfectly, stops charging when battery is full, got my supplied charger if i want to fast charge but for just general use sitting next to my laptop i love it. Can just pick the phone up and use it then lay it back down and it'll stay topped up. Was thinking of the official Samsung one.......glad i didn't
I have no idea why one would spend 1,000€ on a device then skimp on a 40-50€ Samsung charger? Like buying a Merc' or BMW etc then using xxxx 40€ seat covers or floor mats.
With all the controversy regarding the subject of third party chargers be they wall or wireless for the small financial difference I always go for the Samsung branded accessories. Typically me though, not all the same are we?

Lol, I hear you. Now behave yourself lol, you can't be THAT skint to purchase the S8+ :highfive:
This is a tough debate. Numerous threads on XDA cover this point and so many owners have damaged their mobiles using third part chargers. At the very least take a very careful look at the specs on any third party charger and ensure they are identical to the charger that came in the box, even then there can be problems though? Its a gamble.
Please look after yourself and your mobile eh?
Ryland :good:
Easy to purchase when you have been on mobile contracts for donkeys years
The rating on my supplied charger says output is 5v - 2.0a and the wireless says 5v - 1000ma
Been wirless charging since the note 3 days.
