Hey,
Want to add wireless charging to my S4. But I also want to get a wireless charging dock for my car. I have read a little but I am kinda clueless on the tech.
I currently have a UAG Scout case on my S4. Any one know of a combo that would work with this case?
Thanks in advance.
Make sure to order a thin coil, phone tends to get hot and slow on charge rate. it does work though with a bulky lifeproof case and with my Nexus 7. Spent about 20 on ebay, almost all are made in China.
Will any wireless charger work?
Will probably need to be 2 amp capable.
Any specific charging card you recommend?
Hey got a wireless charger and wireless charging card.
But when I put the phone on the charger it says it's charging wireless and the charge icon on the battery shows up also. Then the charging icon disappears. Is it suppose to do this? How do I tell if it's still charging?
Thanks

Does anyone know of a list of cases that support wireless charging without removing the case?
Thanks
It depends on the wireless charger. Cheap ones have a smaller range. I would say most will work np. Even thick cases still work.
I plan to use the Samsung wireless charging pad I got for my S4. I had trouble finding a case for it once the new back was on, but I wasn't sure if it was because the added width of the new back, or charging ability.
Yep I've realised it's more likely my qi chargers that are the problem. Worked fine with my nexus 5 but you have to be exact with the positioning with the s6. I've ordered a new three coil choitech unit. Hope that works ok.
My s4 charger works great through my uag and commuter cases.
I think as long as the back is not metal, most cases work fine.
Most of the S6 Fans looking for that case. So do I.
I have the Otterbox Commuter, and it works without issue.
I have the energizer dual qi charging pad and it does not work well with the s6. I have yet to find the best position for charging the phone. When I place the phone on the pad it starts charging and then looses connection and then starts charging. It does that all night. I finally gave up and just use the cable.

Is there such an accessory like this? Battery case but uses qi wireless instead of micro usb plugged on the phone.

Unlikely, wireless charging is very inefficient, so the useful capacity of a case like that would not be large (not to mention the coils are pretty large and heavy)
Dont really understand what u mean with battery case, but I ordered this one 10.000mah powerbank with QI wireless charging and should get around 1-2 weeks (I hopes). If its what u mean?

But it uses wireless charging capabilities like yours
Never seen that, but have seen this > http://www.amazon.com/QiStone-Completely-compatible-SlimPWRcard-Plus/dp/B00KOOE5SK
It's a fully wireless compact qi charger battery pack.

Nah, s6 have already a built-in wireless charging capability.
Lol, he's talking about a power case with built in battery/case at the same time. That has an wireless charging capability so he doesn't have take out the phone from the case to wirelessly charge or have to plug a USB into the case. As for the question. No there isn't any that I came across so far, and if there is, it would cost an arm maybe a leg too.
Did you ever find one?
The Incipio Off Grid (http://www.incipio.com/chargers/off...-extended-battery-case-samsung-galaxy-s6.html) is almost there. You can charge the case wirelessly, but the phone still connects via USB to the case.
Galaxy S7 got an official one: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-TG930BBUGUS
If you want a case with working wireless charging capabilities, this is the best option:

It's bulky but the power sleeve is there when you need it!
check out makezens.com as well
I got one in from aliexpress.com but there output voltage is very low! so no point! and the rest are expensive for my currency as they cost like 100$
There seems to be some confusion among posters about what exactly is being asked and why it may be needed. What is NOT being asked for is a battery case where the case charges wirelessly. Nor is the poster asking for a battery case slim enough to allow wireless charging of the phone when the case is on.
What IS desired is a battery case that connects to the phone via the Qi (wireless) charging connection and NOT via the microUSB port.
This is needed on occasion because charging via the microUSB port can be disabled due to shorts, port wear, or water exposure. My phone currently is in this state where it can ONLY charge via wireless. When I need power on the go, there is no good option (other than rubber-banding a wireless power pack to my phone, which is absurd). Additionally, power cases connecting via microUSB cannot work with my phone for this reason (none of the products posted in this thread will work).
So with that cleared up, has anyone seen the rare unicorn of a power case that charges wirelessly?

Pretty sure I saw one on Best Buy website because I thought about getting it myself. But that's been about a year ago.
I was browsing on Aliexpress.com than I found this Qi wireless charging receiver and charging Pad for Nexus 6P. I don't know if its good or not, or if it has Quick Charging function(probably not) or not. Just want to share it to everyone that's looking for something like this.
Thanks for this. But there is already a thread about this...

According to the page it outputs 5V at 1A, definitely not fast charging... but I really wouldn't expect that on something like this.
I used to have a similar style micro USB QI charger I used in the past and it worked fine on my Micro USB devices.
For me quick charging is more important to me than the convenience of wireless charging. Unless you plan to use wireless charging exclusively I find having to take off and put on the adapter often a hassle.
Still nice find for those that really want wireless charging.

Don't know if this is even possible, but it would be perfect if there was one of these qi receivers with USB C that had a kind of pass through USB C plug, so that you could have the qi receiver plugged into the phone, but still be able to plug in a USB C cable from the wall when you want the faster charger.

That wouldn't be possible without breaking the USB spec, and making it really bulky. These little qi receivers are easy to unplug, so that shouldn't be a big concern.

What about if you were to stick the qi receiver to the back of the phone and then put a case on over the phone and receiver, can you still unplug it fairly easily when you want to use the USB wall charger?

That's what I was implying rather than using a pass through. There's still a possibility the receiver will not work if directly touching the phone depending on how it's made, so once it can be confirmed working that should be fine.

Oh ok. I may go ahead and order one and give it a try. I just thought maybe with a case on over it, that the case may pinch the cable of the receiver and not allow you to be able to unplug it from the phones USB port without removing the case first (which would be a pain).

I might order one too since I have a plethora of wireless chargers for my S7 Edge. I'm hoping they made it correctly so it can be in direct contact with the phone (I.e. jts shielded correctly)
I have a bunch of chargers as well from my s6. So excited to get this and use them again.

OK so got mine today and works as advertised. Tonight will be the first night to test. It's slower that's for sure when it comes to charging. The nub that plugs in isn't too big, which is nice. Takes some getting used to.
If you got time on your hands and have a wireless charge handy all the times then I would recommend this. If you dont have time then stick with usb c charging ad it's faster.

Does it heat up at all? Would it be safe under a TPU case? I've ordered one along with a N6P so just waiting for the deliveries now.
Doesn't heat up, at least not that I have observed. I am using a tpu case. The fosmon cases and not an issue at all with charging.

I've got my receiver and it looks pretty good. The plug is a bit thicker than I expected, but then it seems very sturdy. Unfortunately I don't have the actual handset yet so still waiting to use it. Hopefully it will slot in nicely behind a Diztronic case.
Pictures with a case around it would be nice

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.
