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.

In some mobile accessories online shop I did see it, for example the PhoneHouse does sell it now since the launching day of the phone. At least in the Spanish PhoneHouse Shop

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

From what I know the note 4 uses the same charger doesn't it? Might aswell try to find one of those.
My old samsung wireless charger works great but my 2 cheapo wireless chargers I got from newegg do not charge my edge plus. They both worked fine yesterday on my s5. Just a heads up. Attached are pics of the chargers that dont work.

Forget about the cheap charger, even with my Samsung Wireless Charger, the S6 Edge+ won't charge. Look at this: https://youtu.be/SfiGk6C3Yso
I bought a 60 dollar stand up charger at best buy and it works great! I had to take the Samsung one back it just blinked. Three days on this stand up one and no problems!
My old samsung wireless charger works. This one
There are still high quality wireless chargers at reasonable prices. Read the reviews before giving it a shot.
i have a problem and need solution
I have the old Nokia Charger and it works fine with and without the case.
Wireless charger...isn't it a new concept to rob money from our pocket? For me, I would prefer to stay with wall charger
For the record, THIS charger does the same thing with my S6 Edge +. I can actually sit here and watch the battery drain while allegedly charging.
I use a Choe Stadium 3 coil and it charges my phone insanely fast.
That sucks. I bought few Nokia DT-900 when they were on sale for $6. It charges my phone just fine.
I use this wireless charger with the adapter and power cord that came with the s6 edge+. Works very well. Works with my galaxy s5 also. Lugulake wireless charger

Wireless charging is cool if the charging speed could be improved, i guess that's why Samsung use 10w wireless charger this time, 2 hours with wireless charging compared with 1.5 hours with wired charging, charging speed would not be a big concern anymore.

I totally agree. And I also notice that some brands start adding quick charge function on power bank, if that happen, we don't have to take 1 to 2 days to charge a 20000mAh power bank anymore, so excited for that.
I was waiting for some 3rd party company to come up with a fast wireless chargers. Finally here's one : http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Lighting-Qi-Enabled-Adaptive-Included/dp/B015351V9U/
Soon , rest will join... I'm so pissed off with Samsung right now, I'm getting one of these for sure! I'll put up a review once I receive one!
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 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.
Yup. As the title says, what wireless charger are you using and how well does it work?
I've got an old Tylt Vu from my Note 3 and Nexus 6 but I was never really a fan of it. Felt like it killed the battery life span quicker. So I'm a little hesitant about using it with the V30.
that's one of the features I miss the most since since I upgraded to U11
Waiting for the V30 bootloader unlocked version to get released.
Using the pad from Microsoft that I bought with my windows phones (yes plural). It does well, also a JBL Bluetooth speaker that came out at the same time which also works well.
Fast Wireless Charger, CHOETECH Qi Fast Charge Wireless Charger Stand for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 S8 Plus S8+ S8 S7 S7 Edge Note 5 and Standard Charge for iPhone X iPhone 8 iPhone 8 Plus (No AC Adapter) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010B6PSMC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_g9N3zbW1NZDSA. Have this and LOVE it. Quick and easy placement. No searching for connection. Have one at home and one at office. Rarely ever plug my phone in anymore. Save the USB while I can. Don't really worry about speed although it's pretty quick. It's cool never noticed hear like I did with the flat little puck style chargers. Charges through my case and I use thick cases 90% of the time. Usually promo codes out there too
Here is what I found, after answering my own question in Q&A...
tekkneke said:
After digging a little deeper, I figured it out. There are two commonly distributed versions of Qi wireless charging right now, and those are five watt and 10 Watt. 10 watt has been widely labeled as fast charging. However, there is now a 15 watt standard that is so new that it is pretty hard to get the pads for currently.
As luck would have it our brand new phone uses the brand new standard. So this means we get awesome super fast wireless charging, but it is very hard to find the pads at a decent price. Older pads do work, of course, but at the 5w speed. I tested and was unable to get any faster result from the 10w pad vs the 5w.
The 2 that I found that existed are an Incipio Ghost 15w, and Belkin Boost Up 15w wireless charging pad. The Incipio one runs $60 and only appears to be available on their website right now. The Belkin one is on Amazon for $60 but is currently backordered. There is another seller selling for $70 on Amazon, but I'm sure those will sell out soon.
Another option is AT&T who has the Belkin at the $70 retail price. They seem to have them in stock in their warehouse but very limited stock in stores.

As far as cheaper chargers if you don't want to spring for the Belkin right now, out of what was on Amazon, Anker's fast charging pad seems to be a good value. If it is still out of stock when you look, there was a Spigen one that also seems to be good quality.
Both have the overcharge protection (according to their respective websites).
Anker https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01KJL4XNY/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1507771520&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=anker+wireless+charging+pad&dpPl=1&dpID=41CwK7z1VdL&ref=plSrch

Personally using this one does seem to work great on my S8+ and my V30 and it does do fast charging.
Anker Wireless Charger Charging Pad
I have the tylt vu -- Worked without a case, but when I put the case on (Spigen Rugged Armor) it only works when the phone is in landscape mode, or in portait mode (upside down). I'm using in it landscape mode now, but may switch to a different solution later.
Had the RavPower charger in my cart but decided against it. Not sure why. I've never tried any of their stuff before but there's a really good deal where you can get it for about $11. I think my issue was that it mentions 15W charging a lot in the Amazon page but in the specs it only lists 10W. Might still do the Belkin one. I just have to drive a bit to get to a shop that has it in stock.

The correct one works great with my spigen tough armor. 3 could, cool charging and "fast charging". Always on sale too. Never would I pay over $20 for a wireless charger pad. But also never again will I buy the puck style ones

I bought the Choetech listed above and am unfortunately not getting wireless "fast" charging; just regular wireless charging speeds. I'm using the default AC adapter that came with my v30.
I am using the Samsung hockey puck ones that I got my S6. They are working great. They are not fast charging. I have read mixed does the V30 support fast charging via wireless?

I have the Tylt Vu and the Spigen Rugged Armor case installed as well. The phone does charge when put on the charger normally. I've just found that you have to set the phone exactly in the middle of the charger for it to work. If it's off by even a few millimeters, it seemingly won't charge. It's kind of annoying, just have to be extra cautious when placing the phone on the charger.
I'm probably gonna give that CHOETECH Qi Fast Charge Wireless Charger Stand (linked above) a shot.

Ditto on the Tylt Vu with case. Tried it out yesterday. I want to pick up a "fast charger" to see if there's an actual difference in charging rates and behavior of the V30. (As in, will it ever say fast charging or will it just do it and not say it.) I'll probably just pick up one of the cheapie fast charge ones although I notice they all just charge at 10W and not the 15W.

Since I tend to only use wireless charging at night while I'm sleeping, I actually prefer slow chargers, which is why the Tylt Vu is pretty perfect. I've read that over using fast charging can kill your battery faster so I only use the USB C fast charger when I need a quick refill.

Probably the heat from quick charging. I know they've been working on that and that's why charging starts quick when the battery is empty and slows down the fuller it gets now. I try not to leave my phone on the charger when it's full except when driving. For the most part, the drive in and out of work are two of the three times I'll throw it on a charger. I might bring my Vu or one of those 10W puck chargers to work and just top off whatever the drive doesn't get. I don't think I've had this phone get below 80% more than once so far. It just sips.
I have this one and first test got about 70% charge in under 2 hrs. I have a fairly thick TPU case on though. WIll need more tests, but I think it's good. What should the speed be with perfect wireless fast charge?
