Hey Samsung, where is my wireless charging solution?

Isn't the Note 2 equipped with wireless charging functions? Anyone seen the accessories for wireless charging yet? Like a replacement back cover (if needed) or the cradle for the wireless charging?

It supossed to be a galaxy s3 accesorie but its time that note2 ships and the charger not hahaha i think samsung will never launch the item maybe next year

I am going to attempt to mod my Note 2 tomorrow after I receive it cause I assume that the two pins by the battery are the wireless charging pins as seen on an S3... The other two upper pins are for the NFC chip on the back plate (of course) This will be challenging as the palm charger mod for the S3 was with a smaller phone so I will have to modify my setup a lil... I have no doubt that those are for wireless charging.... They are in the same position as the S3 charging pins even with the screw next to the pins... Hmmm? Multimeter time...:good:

Even if you mod the phone to charge wirelessly I have never seen a wireless charging mat that has more than 1amp current and note II requires 2amp

It doesn't require 2 amps, it just charges faster with 2amps
My old SGS2 chargers work fine, albeit slowly, with my note 2

This seller on ebay has gotten the OEM Note 2 back covers, and added the wireless charging from the Palm Pre to work with the Palm Touchstone.

It looks like it works and I'm thinking about getting this. A bit expensive though but is sick!

Interesting, although those are not the charging antennas from the Palm Pre. I assume it is the same technology, though.

Interesting concept. Does the Palm Touchstone have the output capability of 2A that the Note requires? I have a bunch of Touchstone docks lying around (from the $5 fire sale) and am interested, but I doubt the current is high enough to charge properly.
Nevermind, read above. Guess it will work, but will be real slow. Not worth the price, IMO. Also, shipping by Nov 28! By the time it reaches us, Samsung will probably have it's genuine solution for sale lol!

I don't think it matters if it's 1A. You can just use the 2A wall plug from your Note 2 right?

This wireless charging dock should be working at 2amps because it is for the hp touchpad tablet which requires 2amps.

If I apply the palm coil to the note 2 and put my note 2 on this dock will it charge at 2amps? Can anyone try with his 25 bucks?

I tried an HP Touchstone with palm/pixi coil, couldn't get it to work. Anyways, the palm touchstone gave me about 460mA as I remember, on my S3 btw. A larger supply didn't effect that, something either the coil or the phone limited the throughput.

Bleah, it looks like the Chinese already built one of those inductive chargers for the Note II. Just some stickers and careful placement, and you will get your wireless charging. Seriously wtf is Samsung doing?

which coil is better to use with the touchstone dock? the pixie or the pre coil? the pre coil is 2x the price of a pixie coil. also can u recommend me a good&cheap conductive adhesive from amazon?

Be very careful with wireless charging solutions. So far I've heard they charge rather slowly, approx 6-8hrs for s3. I cnt even imagine how long note 2 would take to charge.
The magnetic induction thingy may be limiting the max current that goes into the phone

The pixi has a slightly smaller IC package and a small flexible contact arm that can be easily modified. Current wise, no difference.

I am about to do the mod though using my touchstone for hp touchpad with a 2amp charger. I actually use the 2 amp charger now on my note 1 and charges great and fast

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wireless-Ch...549896?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2323725188
Found this on eBay, the charging module is $25 (£15.60) the touchstone charger I've seen on amazon for £5.30, for over 20 quid you've got a cheap alternative for wireless charging the only thing is you have to stick it on the case yourself and line up the pins.
I'm planning on doing the mod myself by tearing the module out of the Palm Pre casing and placing it in my case.
On the Note the charging pins are top pin positive & bottom pin negative. Hopefully the Palm Pre case will come tomorrow and i will upload some pictures of doing the mod.

Just done the Wireless Mod now, working good.

Has anyone tried this? Qi Wireless Charging Pad and Receiver Kit for Note 2

I kind of want to get one mainly because it does not need any tinkering with the device, just stick the receiver or position itself on top of the battery and close the back cover.

Yeah, works alright. Wireless charging is kinda limited to 600-700ma or if you tinker with some wires and solder you should be able to run around 1-1.1A of charging current.

To get wireless charging on the Verizon Note 2, you have to remove the back cover and solder 2 connectors or cut away the plastic concealing the 2 protectors - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slD48Zm_uBM&feature=youtube_gdata_player.

I think they are different. I got the SainSonic wireless charging pad and receiver for mySamsung S3, so far they workes well.

Yeah, it works well for me on my AT&T unit. Slow, but I use it overnight so it doesn't matter. I wish they would go ahead and release the damn OEM door already, because my charging pad comes loose now and then.

I have that but with the "Input: 5v -- 1000mA" model and it works like a charm with n7105. I understand that there is very thin 2013 model (color green) of the receiver that fits better than the one that we have. Just stick it at the back, secure the two metal connectors with tape so that it would continuously stick to the metal connectors of the phone, and it'll work.

I'm with you on wanting a new battery door. I hate the slight bulge on the back the charger coil creates. It doesn't affect the functionality but I'm a bit OCD so the fact that my phone is wobbly on a flat surface bothers the heck out of me.

Works fine with the AT&T version of Note 2, a bit slowly ofcourse. I sorta stopped using it after a while cos.. the phone seemed to need to slign quite well with the charging pad, and I'm used to picking up the phone a couple of times at night to see the time or web browse (only kidding)... and if you don't replace the phone properly on the pad, it wouldn't charge...
In the end, I realised plugging in the mini USB just before going to bed isn't as big a deal as I thought it was when I was ordering the wireless charging pad.!!

are you sure about soldering?

External Qi Charging Coil

Has anyone tried one of these?
http://www.amazon.com/Aftermarket-P...=UTF8&qid=1385474373&sr=8-5&keywords=lg+g2+qi
I'd be curious to hear your experience, I wonder how thick or fragile it is. I'd buy one to test but I am not in the US and would have to import it.

I ordered one a week or two ago. One of my wireless charging pads (which I didn't have any of, so I had to order a couple) arrived yesterday, but still waiting for the receiver coil. Hopefully any day now.
Edit: bah, I forgot, it's being shipped from HK; it'll be a while yet (the pads came from the US).

Awesome, I look foward to hearing your thoughts on it when you get it

They are pretty thin. I've never use one quite like that, but I used the external pads for the Note 2 that I retro fitted into my old Verizon Galaxy Nexus... and it worked extremely well.
I ended up hooking it up to the POGO pins and taping it onto the battery I had to do a little case modding to make it all fit in a normal Incipio Feather case (basically cut a back plate in half, but I had like 5 of them).
So it works really well. The problem I see here though is you are eating up the USB port all the time. With the thin profile cable, I wouldn't attempt to unplug it many times. Just leave it and forget it. Fortunately the G2 has a great battery. My Verizon G2 has this built in, and I Qi Wireless Charge every night.
The Coils are thin, but thick enough to forbid the use of a thin case like a Incipio Feather. If you use this, you are best off using a TPU case that is flexible.

player911 has nailed the situation. My plan is to 'switch over' entirely to wireless charging for the most part, and wifi file transfers -- I don't want to be unplugging/plugging the usb connector in at all. I figure one more charging pad (total 3) should do it... 1 at work, 2 at home kinda thing.
The eBay version of the amazon listing linked seems to suggest it will come with a case (the one pictured). I can't imagine why I would be asked to pick a colour otherwise black or white, when ordering. Yet both listings state "1 piece", so who knows. Will report what I end up with when it arrives. My S3 had the pogo pins so that you could use wireless or usb for charging but I never went that route at the time. The use of the usb port on the G2 did give me pause but I'm going to give it a go.

I would give it a go too. Perhaps temporarily until a internal solution pops up (bound to happen). Even if it doesn't come with a case, TPU cases are a dime a dozen.

Interesting. I look forward to hearing how these work.

I've received my coil from ebay, and "installed" it.
It is working fine, however my battery is almost full, so I can't test now the current. I'll do it later.

Awesome, thanks for the pics! BTW, what charging pad is it that you have there, with the green and red lights?

How thick is the coil? Do you think it is possible to fit it under the back cover? Because I'm planning to do that and run the cable through a hole I want to cut in the back cover so that I can plug it in the usb connector.

Eh that isn't too bad. Looks fine IMO. Besides you don't really need to use the USB port with the Wireless Storage option (awesome feature) and Qi Charging.
So if the port is unused, the also acts like a port saver to keep dirt and lent out.
If you feel lucky and want to further reduce thickness, you can open that package up and remove just the coil. The packaging is basically a thick plastic sticky back that is folded over. Removing the outer plastic housing will cut down 1-2mm. Inside the hard plastic cover, there is the actual coil that is in a black square sticker. The Coil itself is round. On mine, I removed the outer shell and trimmed the unused outside area around the coil. Creates a smaller footprint and gets even thinner.
My goal with my Galaxy Nexus was to fit it in a hard Incipio Feather Slim Case. As it is, any TPU case should work though.

it is thin, but I don't if there is enough space under the backcover, I've never removed it.
I'm still testing it, if my readings are correct it is charging the G2 with at least 400 mA.
Now I've moved it to check how much does the positioning matter.

I've charged it from 50% to 100% using this stuff, it was charging with ~450 mA

Qi is a slow charge. I use mine for my desk and nighttime charging.

400-450 mA charging current.

I've ordered two different kinds, one is the same as Wizard7 that purports 500 mA output and the other purports 750 mA output. I've received neither one yet although according to tracking, the 750 mA one is finally slated for delivery today. But it has a longer cable that I'll figure out how to fold or contend with.
While I fully expected qi charging to be slower, I have to admit I hoped it would be faster than PC USB at least. It would have been a decent solution if I didn't "lose" use of the usb ports but I guess as long as it charges overnight, I can't complain.

Sooo which qi chargers do you guys recommend?
I also bought the charging coil ;D

Great work. I've always wanted to try out those add-on chargers. I've have a leftover Nokia charger that I bought for my Nexus 7. I would have to think that the module will fit inside the case after you pry it off. I currently have a thin magnet nestled in the case to use with my car dock.

These really aren't that great, I was forced to use the USB port since the stock rom is buggy/bloated because I use the PA Rom. My DT-900 charged hopelessly slow and being able to toss it on for 10 minutes and get 3 hours of charge is something I have to do sometimes now that my battery has worn down.

I would love to see pictures of the charging dock as well.

Just a quick note for everyone viewing this thread, there is a lot of info on this type of Qi Charging coil in another thread: External Qi Charging Coil.
Some of your questions might be answered in that thread, such as charging rates, and how it works. I've been using it for some time and enjoy it. About the only problem I have with it is that I want to add a chunk of steel and a magnet so that the phone will "auto align" to the charging pad. That and to hold the phone to the charging pad, as a slight bump with the case I'm using will cause it to slide right off.
Also one last note, if you are using a horizontal holster, it can snag on the usb plug. So make sure the case you are using protects the plug, or you are very careful. The Poetic case I have doesn't protect the bottom and top, and thus the cable can get caught by the holster. Vertical holsters work quite well with the Poetic case, you just have to find one that fits....

AT&T had the Nokia Qi Charging docks for $5 plus free shipping the other day. It uses a barrel plug to charge, but great for permanent positions like by the bed or office. I moved my Samsung (microUSB) over into my travel bag. I'm actually VERY surprised how well the Nokia Qi is at "pairing" with my Verizon. I seriously just drop it on there and it starts charging where my Samsung had to be "generally" in the same area to get it to go. The Samsung still had play room unlike some of the cheaper $10 ebay models where it required exact precision to "pair" and start charging.
I don't know if the deal is still on but would be worth a look.

[Q] Droid Turbo - Qi Charger issue

I purchased a Choetech T513 on Amazon to charge my Turbo via Qi. Several of the reviewers said they had a Droid Turbo. When I used the device, my phone heated up to 114 degrees, which can't be good. Furthermore, it only charged about 1% every ten minutes or so, regardless of whether I used a normal charger or the quick charger.
Has anyone successfully used a Qi charging pad with this device and had it work without setting the phone into dangerously high heat mode?
As you can see, the Choetech device had great reviews:

I've never charged my phone with USB other then to test it actually worked. I use Qi every night or every other night. I experience almost no warmth during charging at all using a cheapie Qi pad I got off of ebay 2 years ago. I think you tend to get more warmth if the alignment is bad. The charging coil is a little closer to the bottom of the phone then the top so it shouldn't be centered on most charging pads. For this reason I opened my charger up and moved the coil slightly so my phone can sit perfectly centered on the pad. I have had Qi charging issues with a Nexus 7 2013 where it said it was charging but actually wasn't on the same pad. My Moto has never failed to charge perfectly. It takes about 5 hours for a full charge if the phone is at 1%.

I purchased a tylt vu from verizon and am still having trouble. It will recognize the phone, start charging, and then keep reassessing the positioning.
The issue is that I have a magnet on the phone backing that connects to my car harness. I moved that perpendicular to the phone, as close to the lens as possible, and the same problem still occurs. I can't figure out how to make this work. I thought the qi charging was toward the bottom of the device, not the top.
Other than removing the magnet, which doesn't make a lot of sense, how can I make this work? You'd think the magnet would enhance conduction.

I use the nexus 4 wireless orb charger and works flawlessly. Charging time is slower if I have daydreams playing but decent charging speeds when daydreams are turned off.

I got this charging stand off of eBay and it works great, no overheating. Item #161580812967. The only time it will get warm is the occasional time I use the Turbos rapid charger.

I've used qi for my last 2 phones, tends to work really well. I agree with previous posters that the area on the turbo is very small, and almost 2/3 towards the bottom of the phone. If you're not lined up just right, it will stop and start over and over again. try to align it right on spot.

If you notice the charger I listed above has 3 coils and works perfectly.

Exactly. On my Nexus 5, the rear circuit lined up perfectly in the middle of the charging orb. But with the Quark (Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo) you have to hang the phone off the end of the orb for it to mate with the charging coil. Seems the Qi circuit in the phone is in the lower third, instead of in the middle (where it should be).
The LG G3 is like that too, so our phones are not alone.
My solution was to get a 3-coil charger, aka triple coil charger. Get them on Amazon for $22 - $28 with free shipping. Flat or tilt type, either design works perfectly with the phone, IF it's a triple coil charger.

Yes, it does. No matter where you place the phone on the charger it will hit charging coil, as it has 3 integrated all across the design, instead of just one coil.
I own both the flat and tilt 3-coil charging pads, and I like the tilt a little better as I can see display for notifications easy without having to pick up the phone.
