Hello,
Has anyone used HP TouchStone with Galaxy S5 with official wireless charger back, and is it working, and is it working optimally?
The HP TouchStone charger is currently dirt cheap on Amazon UK (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005GYUK1Y) and I was pondering buying several as my main work and home charger stations.
Let me know with your findings!

After reading many forums here and other places, I came up with a Qi charging setup for the S3 that works great. First, I purchased this Qi enabled charger for the phone:
Go to fasttech.com and search for a Galaxy S3 Qi charger patch for $14.80
It comes from Hong Kong so delivery is about 7 working days. Fits in the phone with the original cover--cover snaps all the way around unlike other solutions I have read about.
Then, I purchased the Nokia charger from Verizon:
Go to verizonwireless.com and search for Nokia wireless charging plate DT-900.
It's 49.99 but I nailed it with a 25% business discount for $37.39.
Works with a slim cover attached on the S3 and charges great!
Total cost for both with shipping was $55.25--less the the $70-80 solutions I have seen and it works great!
Good luck to all.
Sorry it would be easier to post links but the forum doesn't allow it for me.
I just recently got a Nexus 4, and my girlfriend got a Galaxy S3 for christmas. I know the S3 doesn't have native wireless charging (requires some sort of adapter to the pinout under the back cover, I think?), but I was wondering if there's either: A) a way I can add wireless charging to the S3 that would be compatible with the recently released charging orb through the play store, or B) an option that would somehow work for both, if the S3 can't be made compatible with the orb.
I made an effort to search through other questions to make sure this hadn't been asked before, so forgive me if it has and I missed it!
Rumors have it that Samsung is developing a kit, if its Qi compatible then all Qi chargers will work with it.
The real place to ask the question is in the S3 forums. If they make it Qi youre good, if not then its on them.
I got the adapter from fast tech for the S3 (cheapest I could find it at $15 including shipping) for my Boyfriend's S3. I have a Nexus 4. Once the adapter and my Qi chargers arrive I will report back and let you know. I did not order the orb, but I did get the cheap $35 one from fast tech, and the double Duracell one from amazon.
I think I should get at least the adapter and the double duracell one next week. We also have a variety of cases for the s3 to test with.
I'm hoping that orb will work for galaxy s3. Not only I'm getting useless nexus 4i also ordered the orb. My wife might kill me. Lol. We got Verizon and at least a year and a half on contract left.

I'm using the cheapo uniden qi charger for the iPhone with my nexus 4. Got it at walgreens drug store for like 12$ and hacked for the n4 it works perfectly.

I'm using the Energizer dual charger (Qi certified) to charge both my N4 and my wife's GS3. I bought an after market Qi receiver for the GS3 from eBay. It fits under the stock back cover. Works great.
I like the energizer unit since I can do both phones at the same time.

Do you have any problems with placing phones properly?

Had various wireless chargers, Nokia beats all, it just works, drop your phone and that's it, no fidling with correct placement or similar nosense.
Though there is a funny thing with Nexus 4 and wireless charging...

I, too, have an S3 and a N4, which are sharing one wireless charger (Power Qi). I had to buy a Qi receiver and apply it on top of the battery for S3. It makes the back of S3 hump a little bit, but the battery cover still snaps in. Of course, S3 feels heavier too.
That said, things work fine. Charging faster than computer usb 2.0 and slower than wall charger, but I can grab it an run whenever I want.

In Vietnam it's about 37 USD per unit and the receiver is about 10 USD.
hi,i use a qi charger for my s4 ,works perfectly,tried in my car ,still works perfectly ,i am having brand new Toyota verso car in September and would like to keep it free of standard mounts,what im looking for is a wireless pad or a mod so when i put my phone on it it does not fall off ,any thought's thanks in advance
"Hi. I would like someone to give me a million dollars. I am not going to work for it though."
XDA ≠ Google
P.S, QI with stick pad? It exists. I saw it last time on eBay
Hi guys.
I have an i9506 and i look for a wireless charger.
I can't find many rss for it to decide for best.
What is your experience?
What do you suggest?
My experience has been the Samsung wireless charger is best. I own it and two of the El cheapos from eBay and the difference is huge. For example the cheap ones you have to be move the phone around on the pad to find the sweet spot. With the Samsung charger, close is good enough and you get a green LED to let you know it's working.
I use 3 nokia dt-900. I also had an ebay one which burned... my advice, go for known brands like samaung, nokia, panasonic, energizer...
I have a Samsung charger and a PowerBot disk. Both work fine.
Thnx for your response guys!
So best is to use samsung charger (station) and what patch in the cover?
Is there any big copper mesh to induct more power from the pad?
Also are those chargers fast like the wall charger?

I don't know the current links, but you can check the Samsung site for the Samsung wireless charger for the s4. The PowerBot is available on amazon.
All, I'm taking a gamble here, as this forum seems pretty bare nowadays. My wife and I bought new Windows Phones to replace her Lumia 520 (which replaced her Galaxy Express) and my Galaxy Note i717. She has a 1020 and I have a 1520. Her 520 had wireless charging due to my buying a Qi sticker for it that plugged into the physical USB port. The problem with the sticker is the slowness of charging. I am looking for a Nokia wireless charging cover for her 1020, and can not find them ANYWHERE, except for a few listings on Ebay for $500 USD or so. (Amazon also lists one for $129.99?!) Where can I buy my wife a wireless charging cover? She can obviously use her wireless charging pad, and my old wireless charging pad, as my 1520 uses PMA charging (thanks AT&T... ), so as it stands I have two charging pads that do a good job just lying about the house. Any clues where to look?
I'm in a similar situation. I'm looking to get my brother a wireless charging cover for Christmas as he's having issues with his USB connection. Can't seem to find the damn things anywhere. I did find a listing at "Overseas electronics" (welectronics [dot] com.) via a Google shopping search. They accept Paypal so I tried placing an order but it was refunded with the reason being they are on backorder.
I've considered pulling the coil/connector out of a 925 charging cover but it looks like those have 3 pins vs the 1020 which has 2. I'm assuming I can't just leave one of the pins off. I have no problem tearing the coil out of the case but it's the connector that looks like it's going to be an issue.
Unfortunately, it looks like the only hope is to try and find a used one somewhere...
I have a used wireless cover in black that's gathering dust as i have sold my 1020.
I even got 2 camera grips in black and 1 wireless charging plate spare.
I am in the UK.
U wont be able to buy it any where as nokia stop manufacturing them prices of them become crazy , best bet is to make your own as look here
