Wireless Charging For Your S 4

I'm curious if anyone has purchased any kind of wireless charging unit for their Galaxy S 4. I think they are a neat idea but haven't tried one yet.
If so, can you recommend the brand you prefer and perhaps a link to it?
I'm curious to know if it charges at a manageable rate and is it efficient?
I have considered coughing up some good money on a couple of them if they work but don't want to go in blindly and haven't seen many reviews on them.

Some of them like this seem to maybe be worth it.

They are slow chargers.
I've read something about it here.
There are options out there. A lot cheaper.
Search this specific forum and you'll find the info.

I personally use my Zen wireless pads (mainly cause I've had them for a while) and just bought a wireless Insert from mobile fun. Works great. Yes its a slowish charge but can full charge over night while sleep np.

Charges at a rate about 1/3 the rate of the 2A charger (650mA). But it charges over night no problem. It's more economical to buy the insert and then buy a charging pad. Inserts usually run ~$20, with chargers running $30ish.

Yeah, that's the kind of info i'm looking for. I am interested in this because when I'm at work [I work for long periods of time] I'd like this to keep it charged. I often will pick my phone up to answer a text, or shoot an email or small things like check the weather quickly, or change my song on Spotify and then i'd like to set it back down to continue to charge.
I won't be using it for a regular charger, per se.
I'll just have to look into buying the insert and pad, seemingly cheaper than the options I was recommended previously.

I thought about this too, but read that they can heat up the phones charging this way and sometimes won't stop charging when full?

yes i have a insert receiver i paid £8 plus £17 for base on flea bay and it works perfectly ,i leave it on over night it charges 100% ,no heat or beeps.i am looking for a pad for my car now.

Some base stations aren't as good as others and will cause the device to heat up. Technically, they all cause the device to heat up but so does plugging it in.
I have three different base stations. The Samsung base, one from ebay(has a qi logo on it) and one from aliexpress(just has a wifi logo on it, and claims 1000 or 1500 output). The ebay one works very well, but makes an annoying loud beep when the phone is placed on it. The aliexpress base works allright but does cause the phone to heat up more than the other base stations.
The samsung base works fine, no annoying beep. But...it didn't come with a power cable so you have to use the cable that came with your phone to plug it up (in fact, it recommends a 2A charger for it). The other two both came with their own power cables.
I've not done tests to see what rates each of the base stations charge at but there's no noticeable difference.
Unfortunately, none of the wireless charging items I purchased have links to them anymore and I can't find comparable items. I wish I could just provide you with the companies I used that gave me the best results, but I just can't track them down.

If you are willing to do a little tweaking with the ebay one, you can rip off the top cover and cut off the speaker that makes the beep. I did that with mine and it stopped the beeping.

Is there not a kernel to increase the charging current on the wireless pads? There was for note 2 (neak kernel)?

I know that everyone is writing Powermat off as a failure but I just got an aftermarket insert for the S4 from a seller on Amazon - the reason why I chose Powermat is because I can use it in Starbucks and McDonald's - no real point in having wireless charging at home anyway. Can't do links but I guess if you search for 'pma thin receiver galaxy s4' you'll find it.

Sorry to bump such an old-ish thread, but I just got a QI patch for my S4, had it on my S3 and loved it. Works great and no issues whatsoever. Gets a tad bit hot but that's pretty much it. It charges at a decent rate.

I just picked up an S4 a few days ago that came with the wireless charging back. I am using a fatboy charging pillow that has the Nokia DT-900 plate in it that I got last year with my DNA. I've used several of the charging plates and they all work well and charge around 1A. What inserts is everyone talking about? What I have is the replacement back cover that includes the qi coil. It's slightly thicker and my issue has been finding a case that fits well over it. Does anyone have any recommendations?

The case I have on my phone fits perfectly. Its uhm, a bumper kind of case, I'll try to take some pictures to show you.

I had been using the Nokia wireless transmitter before with my Note2. Just went on Amazon and ordered a $13 receiver and a UAG case. All works perfectly. Slight bulge on the battery cover but not noticeable with the UAG case on it. There is a slight weight difference but you have to expect that because the receiver is a copper coil.
Charging is slower than USB but perfect for night time recharging. =)

I'm using the official Samsung qi charger, a bit slow, but real convenient, love it, the battery door is a bit thicker so it won't fit my cases... Besides that all good!

I guess you're talking about the official Samsung Qi transmitter. My experience with the LG WCP-300 is similar. I tested the S4 with the official Samsung receiver back and got 640mA current input with 4 different power supplies (2.1, 1.8, 1.2, & 1 amp).

Nope, none of the things I'm using at OEM. All after market. I think I mistyped and meant to say 640mA.

I just noticed you didn't get an answer yet. The inserts are three Qi receivers that look like thin patches of plastic with very thin copper wires in them. There are many on eBay & Amazon, but really they all look much the same. Prices seem to run from around $12 to just under $30. Some are known to interfere with the NFC function. All seem to create a slight bulge when you place them against the battery contacts and put the back cover on. Some listings give the thickness in millimeters.
Typical:
http://www.amazon.com/GMYLE-Standar...id=1378662447&sr=8-15&keywords=s4+qi+receiver
I don't know about real cases, but I got a bumper for $6.50 that I like:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BWZJOB8/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The only apparent flaw is that the charging back cover is barely recessed into the bumper. No scratches yet, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I'm curious about the amount of power the phone actually receives using the OEM charging back with the OEM Charin pad. Would you mind checking that & posting it here, please? You can use the free app Current Widget from the Play Store, and it'll help me decide between the OEM pad and a generic.

[VIDEO] Wireless QI Receiver Pad for Samsung Galaxy S5

*WARNING*
DO NOT SUBMERGE YOUR SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 WITH THIS WIRELESS RECEIVER PAD INSTALLED. I HAVE TESTED IT AND IT DOES LEAK.
IF YOU DO, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED ABOUT THE POSSIBLE OUTCOME
Water death thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741481
-----------------------
For the Note 3, I purchased about 3 different receiver pads over the course of it's life. Every pad pretty much had it's own set of pros and cons. For the S5, this is the product I started with. If I purchase any other ones, I'll add to this.
Cost: Around $7-$8 shipped
Link: http://goo.gl/JcDc6t (generic search results... if you want the one in this video, just match it up with the pictures... auctions start and end frequently)
Kind of hard these days to film with my daughter around, but it's better than going to work and coming home and hiding in the basement. I do apologize about that.
Overall assessment for you guys is that it does an okay job with charging. Exactly what you'd expect with wireless charging if you're familiar with it. NFC gets a one out of four stars though. Don't expect to enjoy using NFC while using it. If you do get it to work, it's because you really fiddled around a lot with it.

Finally a review, thanks. 1A charging is more than decent i'd say. my old HTC wall adapter chargers are 1A anyway.
Obviously everyone should assume water resistance is void with 3rd party qi receivers. I personally don't use NFC for any reason so there is no downside for me. but yea, i think that's about it, i just wanted to see it actually working and i appreciate it. very straight fwd. cheers. :good:

Welcome.... I agree. I should add a blurb about the IP67 cert and the effects of the QI receiver. :good:

I treat my phone normally, haven't had a phone with ip certification until this S5, and never had a phone that went swimming from my very first phone, so I don't care about the ip67.

What would happen if you had the phone plugged in charging and you set it on the wireless charger?

That's a good question actually because if you have the phone hooked up to do data transfer and placed it on the wireless base then you would have the same scenario. There must be some intelligence in the phone to either cope with a charge from two locations or to disable one if two are present.

I would use NFC if more people took ISIS payments. Most of the time they don't. If they have an NFC compatible POS it's either shut off or not allowed.
I think it has to average out to 640mA. From what I've read the kernel doesn't allow for higher current. Then again according to this app it was charging about 1% a minute which was the same as the charger...

Well I think in my blurb I noted that it is not recommended to submerge the phone afterwards. I would imagine that officially any company that says it doesn't effect it would have to get the whole system re certified.
It is within the boundaries of the seal. Who's going to be brave enough to submerge for 5 minutes and see if any water seeps in? Don't volunteer me please. I might do a 2 second plunge and keep on going from there... 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 60 seconds and 2 min.

Does wireless charging coil affects wireless resistance?

The answer is very likely yes If you are not using a official Samsung accessory.

Alright. I did a test run with the QI receiver pad in. My wife was not happy about this at all. She hasn't even tested the phone without the pad in.
My video will consist of a dunk test, 1 min, 2 min, and 5 min submerging. In addition to that the wireless battery pack will be submerged in a zip lock bag. If all goes well the phone should be able to charge while underwater. That should be the ultimate A OKAY right?

Qi Chargers?

Has anyone tried one of those Qi charger films you can find on ebay or amazon that plug into your micro usb port and slip into the back of your case or cover? Do they work? Are they slow as sin?

Our phones are powermat only. No qi for us. Stupid ATT

In reading the original XDA LG G3/Accessories forum, somebody posted about using one of these and it worked fine. The only drawback is that you lose the functionality of the USB port. I've been using Qi charging with my GALAXY S3 and don't really use the USB port anymore. Not sure if that would be a deal breaker, but since you're asking the question, it probably isn't. If you buy one of these USB receivers, buy the correct orientation for the plug. The receiver plugs are made two ways, fat side up or fat side down.
I'm on the fence with this phone. Really like it's camera, form factor, the buttons on the back are more convenient & natural to me. The charging thing has put me off. If AT&T would give the Duracell PMA chargers away, it would be easy.
But, I suppose that if one was to add the USB Qi receiver under the case, get a PMA back (when available, only Circle case available currently), you would have all charging possibilities covered!

I was wondering about taking one of the folio cases from Verizon since theirs uses qi and put it on ours. Wouldn't that work? Cut off the front flap? (I don't really care for the folio cases myself.)

Reggie, that won't work. The Qi charging isn't enabled on the AT&T G3. Don't waste your money.

ATT has a deal with powermat to be the wireless charging manufacturers for our g3. Imo I like the powermat and it's pretty cheap on Amazon right now. Got 2 for 20 bucks. Charged pretty fast also. Lets not look at what's wrong but instead look at what lg got right with this device.

If you want to use a case that utilizes the wireless charging contacts on the back of the phone (under the back cover), then you need to use a Powermat charging coil.
If you want to use a system that plugs into the USB port to charge, you should be able to use any system that you want as it by-passes the wireless contacts. The USB port has no restriction as to what type of power it accepts.

I dont see why a qi wouldn't work, it's just inductive charging. not magic, is there something in the standard the maybe uses the NFC to do some sort of handshake?
I do know there's two pin types on these phones, if you look at the contacts on the case it's either 4 contacts or 2 contacts, space, 2 contacts.
just gotta get the one with the space. also you can get the sticker from here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Fact...G-G3-CASE-D885-D830-D851-D850/1971193812.html and just peel off the nfc sticker you currently have and replace it.

It's a different voltage, and the way inductive charging works the Att one doesn't have the hardware for it. It only has hardware for pwa so it won't work.

I'll add my experience with Qi here. I've got two of them, one on Note 3 and the other on a Nexus tablet. There are two problems that I see. The first is that there isn't any centering mechanism so sometimes the device doesn't sense the charger and doesn't charge. The second is that sometime after a power failure the charger has to be reset before it will charge. In both cases you wind up with a dead device.
I'm about to switch to the PMA charging and will see how it fares. At least it has a magnetic centering mechanism (or so I've been told).

If you mean a bulky magnet that's in the quick circle case then yes it has "centering". I prefer qi because the receivers are thinner, and it's easier to find chargers and qi tags.

Best wireless charger for galaxy s6

Hi XDA members
in your opinion what is the best wireless charger for galaxy s6
hope everyone give us the price and the link for the product

Well it really depends on your budget. In my case, I am on a tight budget so I'll probably settle on TechMatte Wireless Charger that is priced not more than $25. However, I would really like the official Samsung wireless charger that is priced at $45 on Amazon. It is good-looking, sleeker and has functional LED light indicator.
Here is a good article about S6 wireless charger:
http://www.androidauthority.com/best-wireless-chargers-samsung-galaxy-s6-600922/

Honestly anything that has 3 coils will do well for you. I recently purchased this charger from Amazon, and it's amazing. You don't have to play with alignment as there is more than one coil.

Yep.. ^^^^ what eep02b said.. I have the same exact one and it charges ridiculously good. No issues whatsoever. I've used a variety cases and it charges them with no issues. The thickest case I have is the Caseology and the Supcase.

I don't have the S6, but I do have the official Samsung charger.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Wireless-Charging-Pad-Packaging/dp/B00UCZGS6S
I'm using it for my S3, that has a wireless receiver inside since my charging port is rather finicky these days. It works fine for that and it's nice that it's low profile, which is what I wanted.
The downside is that since it's flat, not very useful if you wanna watch movies and such, but that doesn't bother me since I only use it before I go to bed. I generally don't run into alignment issues with it, but always a possibility with the single coil setup.
The official Samsung one works with any Qi enabled device, though if you are using it for any other device, besides the S6, like I'm currently doing with my S3, the LED indicator will not tell you when it's fully charged. It'll just tell you when it's on the pad.
I don't mind since I just use my phone's LED indicator light to let me know when it's fully charged. But, keep that in mind, if you want to use it for phones other than the S6.
The 3 coil setup is better in that you won't run into any alignment issues like you can run into with single coil set ups. If you get something like this TYLT charger, you can definitely watch movies and such since it's propped up.
http://www.amazon.com/TYLT-Wireless-Charger-all-Phones/dp/B00DG8NUC8
One other thing you wanna keep in mind with wireless charging in general. It will NOT charge your phone as fast as using the AC adapter (especially since it has fast charging capabilities) the phone came with. If you wanna charge your phone fast, wireless charging isn't the way to go. It's more of a convenience thing. Figured you knew that, but a friendly reminder never hurts.

Yeah I got this one aswell for bedroom, and I have the round original Samsung one for desktop. Samsungs has too bright blue leds to use in bedroom so its more suitable for desk.
Both works great, no issues at all. Might get the QiStone+ later on so that I can have a portable battery with wireless charging capabilities.

Have any of you with that Choe charger used any sort of app to measure what sort of charging current you're getting?

No, the only problem that I have with it is when my phone is fully charger and then the screen of my s6 lights up and the sound of the wireless charging plays, and its keep on doing it ever minute or so... I don't know if its the charger fault or the device itself

I have 3 of these around the house, work just fine for me, and they come in different colors and shapes;

I have the same issue, the wireless charger charges my phone just fine. I have 3 separate ones and they all do it, once it gets to 100% it keeps making the charging noise on and off as it looses a bit of power and starts charging again, kind of annoying when it's by your bedside lol. Anyone know how to fix that?

I have the official Samsung charging pad, works like every other wireless charger. Not sure if it was worth the $40 I got it for but the charging LED is handy and it isn't too bright to sleep with (my opinion). It doesn't have any starting/stopping charging issues at 100%.

Just bought this a few days ago, absolutely love it. I've set it down maybe 50 times, never missed a charge or needed to re-position it. For $25, you can't go wrong. Only minor down side is the surface is pretty smooth, so people without a case, I could see this sliding off. I use a clear Spidgen case, and have no issues at all charging with the case on.

LG G5 Wireless charger?

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.

Which one do you have? And tell us about your experience. How long it took to charge.from x% to y%

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

Hey guys. Made a quick video of the module. Will update you once I have more time to test it. Sorry for the amateur nature

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.
