Hi! I saw plenty of wireless charging pads on ebay, that can be put under the phone cover, but will they fit under the basic battery cover? Do I need to buy a thicker extended cover, does anyone have experience with these stuff?
I've been using one for months now and love it.
The one I have fits great under the stock cover.
Google "fonesalesman"
been using one that i bought from amazon and it works great and works with the default battery cover no need to buy a thicker cover

No worries might probably get one to see if it works. If not I can go back to touchwiz.

Thanks for the answers, I think I give it a try!
QI charging works for me, even when the phone's off. I love it. I have one of those stick-on pads that uses the phone contacts.
Sent from my SCH-R970 using XDA Free
I have a wireless charger kit I got from a Chinese shop, it works great. Charges as fast as plugging it in.
I got it mainly because my last phone had the USB connector start to fail from repeated usage. I also have a bluetooth dongle on my PC and that's how I transfer photo to it, so my phone pretty much never gets plugged-in.

Pics of your QI pad, QI charger with phone screenshot charging data on QI wireless pls. If not, it never happened as pads are usually tagged up to 650-700 mAh, some could be tagged at 1000 mAh (but can not charge at that rate even if the QI charger is good, had one and tossed it away cause of bulge too).
I have the Ravpower QI charger tagged at 1000 mAh, Ravpower slim pad rated at 650 mAh and that's exactly what I'm getting from it - 650 mAh charging.
Dunno how could you get from 1200 to 1600 mAh from yours though... unless you consider 650 mAh rate as a "normal" charging rate.
Btw, you can transfer w/e you like via WiFi and with some good WiFi manager app, it's a lot faster then BT sheite.
@OP, you might search a bit on XDA re QI wireless charging pads and chargers. There are slim and not so slim pads. My advice is to calculate good as each and every one of them is going to get you a slight bulge on your phone back, no matter which one you choose. Better choose a ultra slim then a 1mm one...
Remedy would be to cut out a battery cover and use a good protective case in case you opt for a slim and tiny pad. Might not like that, but that's an option if you want your phone laying down on flat surface as it is now - flat on the flat surfaces.

Yeah, good to see your 600 mAh pad (based on the photo of it from your link) is charging at (what?) rate... say at least 1200 mAh (?), while your QI charger is outputting at max 1000mAh? :silly:
See, IMO it still does not compute and you can't get nothing more then 600-650 mAh from it, let alone 1000 mAh seen your pad is tagged at max. 600 mAh.
Showing the back of your charger is proving nothing at all, just so you know it, even your perception of charging times suggests something different.
@OP: Good QI and wireless charging will give 650-700 mAh tops, while on the AC charger and original cable can range from 1000 to 1600 mAh. On good and advanced USB PC ports you could get up to 1000 mAh (my case with Maximus Formula 6 USB ports).

Well boo-hoo princess, you are simply wrong.
It does charge very quickly, much faster than the previous one I had and about as fast as plugging the phone in. I don't have to plug the phone in to charge it any more or transfer photos so the USB port in it is going to last quite a long time.
@OP: sorry for this OT, but this guy seem to be writing a whole bunch of pompous ideas on his personal perception of the QI charging on SGS4.

"Boo-hoo princess" at me? "About fast as plugging the phone in"? What a true comedian you are... I can only grin and lol at your statements.
Wake up from that crazy dream of yours and quit blabbing around, spouting nonsenses. Technical facts all around XDA and Internet re adopted, custom implemented QI charging are not backing up your statement at all, alongside me telling you that imputing 2000 mAh from the wall charger that can be outputted up to max 1000 mAh from YOURS no name OEM QI charging unit to the no name OEM QI pad module, while you're using a no name OEM QI pad of 650 mAh max on a secondary battery contacts of your SGS4 phone = recharge rate of 1200-1600 mAh(???) = as fast charging rate as on wall charger(???)
Yeah right!
You're the new Tesla alright...:silly:
Then again... Continue writing that BS of yours and continue telling others to believe they'll pull 1200 to 1600 mAh charging rate from a no name POS combos on their SGS4. Bonus and btw, do continue using that slow BT instead of a WiFi for your transfers. I'm sure BT yields a better transfer rates then WiFi B/G/N if you're the one using it. I'm also certain that many users will follow your lead and advices. :good:

I did some careful checking and it the wireless charging starts at around 850 ma. The Ac charger I have starts at 1100 ma so a bit less than what I thought but a lot more than what you thought.
And because you're an arse you are now the first on my ignore list.
I did the palm pre mod, and I would not reccommend it. I fould that ot bulked out the case and made cases fit weird. If you do wireless charging i would get the legit one
I use a Qi wireless charging sticker/pad I got for $12 on ebay or Amazon (i forgot). The bulge under the original battery cover made the phone difficult to fit with my UAG case, so I bought a spare battery cover ($5 on ebay) and cut an opening to match the charging pad. I covered the opening with vinyl sticker to prevent dust from getting in. Now it fits perfectly in my UAG and Speck Candyshell cases. I use a LG WCP-300 charger that outputs at 1A.

No samsung phone supports qi wireless charging pass 650mAh, no matter what the input states on the receiver.
Anything above 1000mAh will generation too much heat, only the LG G2 can charge upto 996mAh.

So true! Also the heat is the major breaking factor in wireless charging (all should know that and thank you for pointing that out), but that particular troll hid under his cozy little rock thinking he can get 1200 to 1600 mA out of his, now rectifying to obnoxious 1100...

When it comes to qi wireless charging, I think I'm quite experienced on this, afterall, I've been with these for a good few years before it actually became a mainstream product, I also get many of the new stuff first hand, not to mention I was offered test a A4WP wireless charging sample, but I turn the offer down.
Related
Maybe I'm expecting too much, but the way I understand Qi wireless charging is you should be able to use any combination of transmitter/receiver you wish and it should just work.
Well, as I'm sure some of you are aware, that does not appear to be the case with the Note 4. I have tried two 3rd party receivers with different bases and have been unable to achieve any sort of consistency.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PUA06TA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OFKS66G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Above are the 3rd party receivers I've tried. You either have to off center the receiver with the base, or find a sweet spot that makes it look like if you so much as sneeze the wrong way the phone will fall off. NOT ideal. Most 3rd party receivers I have looked at employ a similar design.
Or you have a situation like mine where a base just won't work due to alignment issues. This is the case with the iOttie Easy Flex Wireless Car Charging Mount. The coil in the receiver sits too far to the left (screen facing you), and there's no way to align with the coil on the iOttie properly.
Here's the funny part. I have ZERO issues with the OEM Charging Cover. This thing where Qi is supposed to be universal may be true, but there are strings attached. Until there are no strings, I can't see how phone manufacturers can take it seriously...
I hope that the upcoming Galaxy S6 handles this better than that. It looks promising. It wouldn't be the sole reason I switch to it, but I can do a slightly smaller screen, don't necessarily need the pen, but they are nice. I just wish wireless charging was handled better....
I use the OEM Wireless charging cover and a Nokia base. I have had no issues at all. I would stay away from those cheap Chinese adapter coils. They seem very easy to break, they don't fit well with the stock cover, and are more prone to errors. They only sell for a couple dollars in China so don't expect much.

vertical and horizontal fine. I do have to position it 1 cm to the right or left from center....but still really easy.

From the FAQ page on Tylt's website:
Q: How long does it take to charge my phone with the VU?
A: The VU is designed to provide as much power as your standard USB charger (1 Amp) and will charge as fast as your USB charger as long as your phone is designed to accept that much power.

Granted, Quick Charge 2.0 is most likely not in there, but doesn't that only work up to 50%?

Wireless charging is not as fast as wired charging but it sure is convenient. I hate having to plug and unplug the phone all day. With wireless charging I just make it a habit to always leave it on the charging pad when I can. That way my phone is always at 100% when I leave. My OEM fast charger is still in the box unused. I got a deal on the Nokia pads a year or so ago and only paid $5 a piece for them direct from AT&T. At that price it's easy to place them in multiple locations such as the living room, bedroom, office, car, etc.

I have the same QI pad in ur first link. Works gr8 on mine. Now I'm using a different receiver. The first one I bought was the same slmpwrcard u got. Lots of issues with it, until it just quite. When it was kinda working, hit or miss, I measured the voltage the receiver sent to battery when connected with charger. It was low. Should be 5v, I was getting right at 4v, now it only puts out 1.7v, and won't even work. Below is the one I bought to replace. Works perfect! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P48BIFY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have 7 QI chargers, and they all work well. By the way, the QI pad u linked is a 3 coil. Also it only makes sense u may have to put the phone on QI charger a lil offcenter because the coil in receiver is offcenter.....
I bought the Yoo Tech wireless receiver and LagaLake wireless charging pad. There's a slight bulge in the back of the phone and I have to put the phone on the charging pad slightly off center. In the end, it was more work than just plugging the phone in. So, I'm back to using my fast charger. I'll have to get the official Samsung wireless charging back and see if it works better.
Just wondering the best set up for qi, receiver and pad that work well together. Thanks guys

Technically, any receiver will work well with any charger. The thing you need to look for is a charger that can output 5V at 1A. Pretty much every charger will have that rating so it's hard to mess that one up. As far as the receiver goes, the higher the current output the better (measured in "ma"). And by "better" I mean the phone will charge faster. I have a 1A (1000ma) receiver in my Note 4. It charges pretty quickly, but interferes with NFC. Also, a higher current for a receiver typically means it will also be thicker, making the back of your phone bulge more.
Which charger and receiver are the most durable/well built is a much more difficult question to answer as there are so many to pick from. Just think about how you want to use it, do you want your phone tilted up at you while it's charging? Do you want a super grippy pad so your phone won't walk off the pad when it vibrates? Do you want it to be portable like the mobile pal 2 in 1? The best charger for you will be dependant on how you answer those questions.
Similar questions need to be asked for the receiver. Do you want it to work with NFC? Will you generally just use wireless charging to charge overnight? If so you can get away with a smaller, lower current receiver since you won't need quick charging. If you'll be charging throughout the day you'll want to get a receiver with a higher current rating.
Well, that answer was longer than I originally intended. But I hope it helps!
Thanks TM that's a lot to go on. But a lot of useful information
From my research online, the CHOETECH Stadium seems to be one of the best rated chargers (if you're not going for the official Samsung setup). I've ordered one and am awaiting its arrival, along with the FoneSalesman N4 SlimPWRCard.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JA7HNZO
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00OFKS66G
The CHOETECH Stadium has 3 coils as opposed to some chargers that only have one - from what I've read that makes for faster charging and less problems positioning the phone correctly. This is my first foray into wireless charging though, so I'm only repeating what I've read online, not speaking from experience
I use fonesalesman powercard, and my trusty Nokia Qi charger. The thing is you have to find the right spot for the Qi receiver and charger to line up, then it will charge as it should.

Glad you got sorted out and it's working well. Just got the CHOETECH Stadium (which is also 3 coils) set up and the FoneSalesman N4 SlimPWRCard installed. So far very impressed - the card is unnoticeable except for that slight bulging below the flash, which isn't really visible at all in a case. You can basically 'throw' the phone down onto the charging pad without having to worry too much about positioning. So far I have only used the CHOETECH connected to a PC USB port, not a wall adapter, but even at that, with the phone powered on, I got 10% of charge in an hour (65%-75%). Expecting even better results tonight with the CHOETECH plugged into the Samsung charger and the phone off. In any case, it's great to have that trickle charge while you're sitting working at the computer, without having to plug in. Yay for wireless charging
EDIT: Got just over 10% in half an hour with the charger plugged into the Samsung adaptor, and charging through a UAG case. :good:
EDIT 2: Charged phone overnight from 1% to 100%, it took approximately 5 hours. Good thing is there were no beeps or sounds from either the phone or the charger, and no noticeable 'hum' from the charger either - so good for bedside usage
I am looking for a battery case (yes case, I don't want any external battery pack) that has decent protection and supports QC 2.0 when charging the phone thru whatever pass through micro usb port there is on the case. I don't really care how fast the battery in the case charges, I just want to make sure that I won't be shafting my quick charging capability by putting on such a case.
Did you find one? I came across this, FYI:
"A 5 Volt battery (which all of them are) isn't going to give you a quick charge, so none of them are. You need 9 Volts to quick charge using Samsung's method. Give iit time and companies like Anker will probably come out with special packs for Samsung."

not saying its not nice its just not a true quickcharge battery case output max is 1 ma and i am only getting 433ma same when I wireless charging so its miss leading saying quick charge.
okay update i am a little bit happier when its connected to samsung oem quickcharge it only charges at 433 ma but when disconnected and running on battery case it jumps to almost 2 ma which is wierd since max output is only 1ma but phone is charging fast so not too bad
I think you might be mis-understanding what Incipio is relating. They are only indicating that their case will ALLOW (not provide) quick charging through their hardware.
That is to say, if you connect the proper 15-watt AND proper micro USB cable, the quick charging of the phone will occur with the case in place.
Would you agree, @RedXXII ?

nope quick charge does not work "pass-through" when you have the case on as stated in the the message I left earlier it will charge the phone at .5ma ig if case connected to charger but, if you have the adapter unplugged from the case it charges the phone at 1ma or more the battery case even charges slower when connected to the phone.
but again i bought the case and it charge as fast as my non quick-charge adapter when not plugged in the only thing is that the phone and the battery case both charges slow when battery case is on phone

The cord that works fine without the case for fast charging doesn't work right with case on (think case doesn't see it as a fast charge device) so i decided what the hell switched the cable to the one in the box and now its charging fast. so use the cable provided with the case for fast charging to work it seems
Mine worked with any cable I used. It is dependant on the brick that you plug the cable into. Do you have any pictures of the case? I'm trying to figure out if I have a defective one. Mine will not close at the top. There is a noticeable gap.

the top does close but not 100 tight there is a line gap compared to the bottom and side
i'm using the Samsung brick. also did you get a full charge out of it? I left it on the phone charging overnight
let the phone drop down to 15% then started charging. it started charging to about 75% then battery case ran out of juice
I was digging around on ebay for accessories for my G5 and i suddenly found this type of wireless charger for LG G5 that comes with a sticker and it has a cable on the bottom to transfer the charge from the sticker into the phone. So.... has anyone tried it already? Comment what do you think about it. Are we getting closer to have wireless charging capability the same or similar way than other devices with wireless charging feature? In my opinion this might be an improvement. (not that i use wireless charging a lot but it is sometimes useful)
I've seen that this doesnt only work for the LG G5, it actually works for any device with type C usb as i have been digging even more and see that it works for other devices too.

You still need to get the charging base, unless you have one, many of these receiver that plugs into the USB port is not very reliable, too many detection error and very fragile, but I did try a micro USB QI receiver yesterday on the G5 and it work fine, that is upto now without error also trying some QI extention cable receiver, still work perfect.

What is most interesting about this is that it works with any device (smartphone) with Type C . According to the descriptions you find on ebay and amazon. I will have to give it a try. Dont know when i will be able to buy it exactly, but i will
I would check the output. These G5 take a large 1800mA (could be more haven't looked) charger. I used to grab those Qi universal charger films you are talking about. Worked great until phones started taking 1000mA or greater chargers. Many of these wireless chargers do NOT support fast enough charging. Meaning it could take 4 hours to get your battery to 50% or even longer (some are only 500mA chargers, almost 75% slower than normal).
So be prepared for extremely slow, albeit convenient, charging. Check the output of your charging base and the output of the charging film first.
I just ordered that sticker from eBay. I'll report back once I have it and tested it. I have the tylt 3-coil wireless charger. Charging speed is no issue for me. I don't need rapid charging like from the OEM charger.
If you don't have tylt, you can try the spigen 3-coil wireless charger. They're cheap on eBay! I'm not sure if it'll work (I haven't tested it) , but spigen is a good brand for most things.

Hey thanks. Let us know how it goes. Between the money i paid for the phone and college, well. Im pretty much broke right now. Im trying to sell my Galaxy s5 locally to get some money back and some of my covers among other things, however, here in miami people sell high, and want to buy extremely low.
I have it, not very good.

There is only one available, no matter where you buy it, it's the same product, speed is slower than cable, but that was expected, if you use a case, it's very fiddly to put on and take off, as the plug area is very big when you compare them to other receivers like the micro USB or lightning.

Hmm, But what was the estimate time for the phone to fully charge from x% to y% ? Maybe with another cover it would be easier to put? There are quite a few now for g5

If you are concern about slow speed, you shouldn't use it, as I say it's slower than cable, I mean with a normal charger, not a fast charger, but i'm ok with that, I have never liked fast charge, if you are using a TPU case, it easy to use, but cases like my voia or spigen style armor with removable bottom has problems, the head is very big, so not all case will fit.

Im not that concern though. After all i would only use it about 10% of the times. But people who really use it would probably like to know
Could you please take a picture, I am curious as to how much the head sticks out

Great!! thanks for sharing. Any intel about how long does it take to charge from x% to y%? any given value to x and any given value greater than X given to Y. Also, when you are using the device, whether it transfer enough energy to keep using the phone while it charges or whether the battery will decrease while you are using the phone. (In an average usage: Say, Facebook, youtube with brightness in about 50-70%, or having at least 3 or 4 applications running in the background that are not so heavy, nor light) If you have tried any of this things, or all of them, please share your experience with it.
According to the description of the link i posted, it says that the output is 1000mA
But thank you for sharing the video
With about 1 hour of charging, i got about 10% of charge. If there's load, it'll def drop the charging capability. I'll do more rigorous testing, but as it stands, it's charging slowly.
Part of it can also be because I'm using the tylt charger, which has a 5 w output.

hmm yeah. There might be some factors affecting the rate of charge. I mean, 10% in 1 hour? that shouldn't be a standard charge rate. I will dig in a little more and see what i can find out there in google. Maybe someone did try it with a charging dock with higher Watts output. I will let you know if i found something

Okay, before i looked into google i decided to see what other sellers on ebay have to offer and here is what i found. There are sellers that sell the sticker along with a charging dock with an input of 2000mA and output of 1000mA, Power: 10W. I think that would only double the estimated time you just gave me from x to y being 10% in 1 hour . But it still too low. Maybe the cover is another factor? Maybe there are materials that decrease the overall charging rate by slowing the transference of energy from the dock to the wireless receiver. I will look for more info.
After owning a Nexus 6 I don't want to have a phone without wireless charging. These wireless charging receivers work great with the mix, i've tried two different models and I am super happy with how things work
this model claims to be fast charging, and it definitely is much faster than the other model i tried
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LX0Y5CS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
combine this with a fast wireless charger
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H76NIAS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
or this Anker i use in the car in combination with a fast charge 3.0 car charger
https://www.amazon.com/gp/css/order-history/ref=nav_nav_orders_first
Anker quick charge 3.0 wall charger
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016LO4UTA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
anyways, now that i have quick charge 3.0 chargers everwhere and quick charge wireless charges it really is pretty fast. it charges wirelessly around 990mA, which isn't as fast as plugging in directly but with the insane battery life this phone has it is fine for me. I can drive in my car while casting my phone's screen to my head unit with gps on full time and playing music and the screen on low brightness and it still charges wirelessly.
the receiver is so thin i barely know it is there behind my case.
anyways, if you miss wireless charging this solution works well

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. A couple of questions:
1. You said "it charges wirelessly around 990mA" - how did you measure the charging rate? Is it a reading from Ampere app from Play Store, or something else? Also, is is the peak or average current?
2. You said "i barely know it is there behind my case" - is your receiver sticker from your first link actually *inside* the case, or *outside*, coming in direct contact with the charger from your second link? If it is outside - would you mind putting it inside the case for a minute, and measuring the charging current with Ampere app when the phone case is between the receiver sticker and the charger? TIA

yes, this is with Ampere measuring.
all measurements are inside the case, as in the sticker is stuck directly to the phone with the case overtop of it.
with this new case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70603907&postcount=20 i really do not even know the sticker charger is there, it lines up perfectly with the case at the bottom and there is no added bulge at all in the back.

I also use a sticker receiver and the case, and while I cannot recommend the sticker (or maybe it's my charger?) that I use, because Ampere tells me I only get 200-300mAh charging current on average - the case I'm using is really awesome (I have black version with golden frame): http://www.ebay.com/itm/322333960673
I'm hoping if I get your sticker and this charger (this is the new version of the same one you linked) I'll also get around 1A wireless charging current.

yes, i had the Nillikin sticker receiver before this one i linked that claims fast charging. with the Nillikin i got similar results as you get now around 200-300mah.
only when all parts in the process were fast charge did i actually see a difference. the sticker must be fast charge, the qi charger must be fast charge, and of course you must have a fast charge 3.0 wall charger. i was actually surprised it worked, but it does.
I'm going to try that case you linked too one of the few i haven't tried yet.
Lads in regards to wall chargers Ive got recently the dodocool 3.0 charger and it is way faster comparing to the genuine one! Really impressed! build quality is very good too! (no numbers on charging yet as I did not have time to do it...)

it has been reported that the mix only shipped with a 2.0 charger so that makes sense that a 3.0 charger would charger quicker. good to hear!
