Already lost my charging dock :crying: but they are not listed yet by Samsung like the ones they have for other Gear...
I wonder if only of the existing one would be compatible. If anyone find a source for these, update this thread or if someone can check the pin layout (with volt and amps) to do the DIY road.

Just happened to me...maybe the gear 2 or duo charging cradle will work?
I just checked the Samsung website and compared it to my charging cradle, the pins on the Gear 2/ Duo are misaligned compared to the Gear Live. Even if it snaps on, it won't make a connection. Might have to wait till they start shipping on the 7th.

That is an incorrect part by the way. It is only meant for the Samsung Gear Neo devices. The pins in the back are centered in the Gear Live, but offside in the Neo.

I get my 3D printer tomorrow, I'm totally new to it all but I'm going to try working on a solution. It'll probably require mutilating the stock charger for parts for make a dock, but what could possibly be worse than stock?
I wish they launch extra docking station sooner. Its a really big need. I am afraid to lose the current as its so small !

I have zero 3D modeling experience and don't yet own a caliper to take measurements of the charger, but my idea was to just make a good stable base (like the G Watch's charger) and sculpt a dip in it for the stock charger to fit into along with a hole for the cord. Simple, but then you could snap the clips off of the charger to protect the watch.

Nice Photoshop job by Samsung. They have the phone mounted with MicroUSB facing outwards on one of them.

Twice as expensive though.
What is it that makes the phone decide it's 'docked' ??
When I plug my phone in to a micro-usb charger (or a micro-usb cable hooked up to a PC), then go to
Clock -> Dock Settings -> Audio
I still see the message 'Phone not docked', even though the phone is charging.
Does the phone have to be sync'ing with some software on a PC before it decides it's truly docked? Or does the cradle have some circuitry to deliver a message that tells the phone it is docked? I thought the cradle was simply a charger.
Still out of stock! It says "will be available from 25-th Feb" and now it is already 1st! Quite sad, as there are no other docks around.

Hi,
Where are you ordering the dock from? Is it from oddsandpods.com?
Just googled them and the reviews dont seem very favourable.
Could you please give us some feedback on how their service has been?
Thanks
I've just received information:
"Thank you for your order. Your order has been passed to the warehouse for picking and will be dispatched within 2 days. Should we be unable to send your order on time we will email you to advise of any delay."
When (if) dock arrive, I'll try to post some pictures and write a little bit about service.
Ordered from Odds and Pods on 24th Feb, not received it yet or getting any order updates! really not happy with these guys!
So I have seen all the posts for the cases but can't seem to find anywhere in the US that has any info on when they will be available. I know last year when I got my N2 the folio cases were available in the store that day. I called a few ATT stores and all they have is the incipio case that doesn't offer wireless charging. Does anyone have any info on these Samsung brand cases?
This site shows them "due in 2-3 weeks" http://www.mobilefun.com/40790-offi...-3-s-view-wireless-charging-cover---black.htm
No luck my friend I can't find it either. I don't think I've seen such a premature phone release when it comes to accessories for this phone.

Yeah I'm really disappointed with the lack of accessories! I don't want to buy a regular case and then turn around and purchase a wireless charging case 2-3 weeks later.... Ended up selling my AT&T Note 3 in favor of the T-mo n900t, already running a custom rom and on att lte
I'm sorta miffed, too. I think they want to see how the phone will do before they start churning out accessories. I can't figure out why they don't add features without changing the form factor, at least as far as legacy compatibility is concerned.
I ordered a $4 TPU case and a Skinomi (wet application) screen protector. I like to have a cheap (or just durable) backup case option for camping, and for the possibility of getting a new device under insurance because of theft or total destruction. But still, this is a lot of weeks to be waiting for a feature included on their previous release. And for the time being: this (as of 10 Oct, 2013) http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Qi-Wireless-charging-Receiver-Charger-Adapter-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-III-/321228364804?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item4acab3dc04

only much easier without having to tap into the USB port. I got two for my "old" S3 for about US$12 each. If my measurements are right, I'm just going to snip the space between the two contacts and stick it in sideways on the Note3 battery, slightly too high, but not enough to let the coils be too off. I usually don't post my hacks, but if this one works and does it before anything gets released, or if everything released is still as expensive as it is now, I might.

So, really essentially, inductive charging is spinning magnets hopping up a copper coil so much it sends the extra energy into the battery as an electrical charge (I imagine with some other metals it might've been heat). Hopefully the coil doesn't have to be too precisely placed to get enough charge.
I'm seriously thinking about investing in Neodymium mining.
I aslo went to the Tmo store today. It's a little one. They had one S-View cover without inductive charging for US$60. The guy, who had one (no Qi) on his new Note3, indicated on a spreadsheet on the "register" screen that the inductive charging ones will be $70 only at the Sammy (Tmo has dedicated Samsung centers)) stores, and I only saw black (BLK).
I really want to see what color the "red" one is. I saw it listed as "pink" somewhere, but I imagine they might have had it mixed up with the light pink (more of a dirt-magnet than the white IMHO) because a lot of the photos of them look rather pinkish or maroonish. I've seen a couple of shots of branded flip covers that look really (really) red, some that look almost brick, and of course a bunch I might call magenta only because I think it's a word to describe a color without another descriptor (that Tmo borrowed because actually calling it what it is, Hot Pink, completely alienates about 50% of its clientele).
Anyone see any color out there?

yes you could but the s view functions wouldnt work with the 2 pin receivers and i dont know if it will even work with the 3 pin receivers.
please note that the n3 has 3 ins at the back near the wireless charging and 2 for nfc but of the 3 pins only top 2 are for wireless charging and the third is for s view functions colour changing of screen etc as far as my info goes.
will let you know in a few days as i have orders pending delivery for official and generic types and will test them out with several of my wireless chargers. my orders have been delayed 2-3 times already and dont know when they will come as have placed them a while back. it doesnt seem to be in stock anywhere.
You are correct.
You are correct i got one of the stickers and a wireless charger and have the regular s-view case and the case no longer works, im wondering if i can somehow solder the contacts togeter without messing it up but for 11 bucks the wireless charging does work pretty well. Through the galaxy charge app im getting around 650 not the 1800 i would get from the 3.0. However i dont have to worry about plugging it in or messing up my port now. will keep you informed.

So the foil trick did not work, or at least i could not get it to work as the foil yanked off one of the contacts on the charger. It looks like the sview uses the bottom two and the charger uses the top two. I sometimes wish i never watched macgyver as a kid. But it still works just no sview functions but i really didnt use it much anyways as you are stuck with stock samsung music apps.

I have the 2014.04 dock and it has no wobble, clicks in tight and no disconnect issues at all. I got it from B&H, New Egg and Tiger Direct are still selling the 2013.10 units.
That's very encouraging to hear, as I've been dithering whether to buy a TF701 and dock combo for some months.
Does anyone know if it's possible to tell the date of a dock by looking at the dock itself, rather than the box it comes in? Here in the UK the tablet and dock are only sold as a bundle, and I'm worried that, even if the date on the box says 2014.04, that might just be the date that they put the two items in the box, and the dock itself could still be old stock.

It's fine. Mine too was purchased in the UK and the box has two stickers (for both the dock and the tablet). Mine in this case was 2013.11...
I just ordered a dock yesterday and requested one with a 2014.04 build date. I'll report back when I receive it.

I just received one from Amazon. It's a little difficult to get the tablet to fit in firmly but once it does, it stays in place. Only issue I'm running into is that the dock starts charging the tablet when the tablet is less than 90 percent charge. I had the Prime and the Infinity and those didn't begin charging until the tablet reached 70 percent. Is there any way to adjust this or is anyone else dealing with this issue?

I am pretty sure there is no way to adjust this but I am just curious as to why it would matter?
Part of the purpose of the dock is to recharge the tablet, as long as it does this why does it matter when?

Good point. Maybe I'm just used to it taking place closer to the 70 percent stage, which allows the dock to hold on to its battery for a longer period. I find that the dock drains much faster this way, which I'm not toally sure if that affects the battery's long-term life.

For those who are interested, I got this version of the dock from Amazon seller Galactics. Other than charging the tablet once it hits 90 percent, I've had no issues with it so far.

Is it a 2014.04 dock?
Yep. Got it on Wednesday.

Mine too was purchased in the UK and the box has two stickers (for both the dock and the tablet).

I've just bought a tablet/dock combo from Amazon UK and for me the outer box only has one sticker on it, with one date.
Unfortunately, it's date 2014.01, so I've decided to return it to Amazon unopened (still sealed), with reason "Incompatible or not useful for intended purpose". It might be fine, but I don't want to risk it - they can sell it to someone else who can give it a go!
I have the 2014.01 and had no problems yet , working smoothly. Only problem yet was a flash when using touchpad after long time.

It's the Fourth of July weekend! I'm wondering and hoping there is a dock out there with a price reduction courtesy of a promo. Wishing. Hoping.
i am ytrying to update the dock but it doesnt upgrade, keep saying try again
anyone know where i can get this file seprrately and manually install
Three weeks ago, I bought from ncix Toronto - Dock 10.2013 - everything is OK - updating firmware,battery charging , plug-in to display ...
I just got the 2014.04 dock. When I first plugged it in, it said it was updating firmware on the dock and then it said it failed updating. Now every time I turn it on, it doesn't try updating again :/ how would I be able to try updating it again?
Also, when the tablet is connected to the dock and draining power from the dock, the dock makes these small tick sounds. I don't know why I would be hearing that though. When I have the dock disconnected and charging, it doesn't make that sound. When they are both connected and charging through the 30 pin charger the dock doesn't make that sound. I really hope I don't have to return it

But aren't the 2014.04 all fixed now of the docking issues? I also found dock connecting problems, which I thought was previously fixed. I contacted the seller and am getting a replacement sent out to me. Why would it still be having issues?

2 people are not enough opinions to say its fixed
Its not and those that say it is are lucky or satisfied with an unsatisfactory product.
Anyway good luck on the next i hope it works good
If not refund asap and move on.
I had mine close to a year and 4 times repair over 6months with them and still faulty.
Please look at the photo I have posted (zoom in to see the details) with this post to the thread. I am referring to the "Wireless Charging Pack" which is actually a cover for the Note 5 from Samsung, which has a battery built into it, which wirelessly charges the phone while the cover is on. The cover only covers the back, not the front (including the camera lens on the back as it contains a battery) but wirelessly charges the phone while it is on the phone (I have read in the description it has a switch on it which allows you to turn the wireless charging on and off, so essentially this is Samsung's version of a Mophie cover). You can use the phone normally (except for the camera of course) while the phone has this on it. The attached photo I got from this link (you have to scroll down a ways to find it): http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-note5/charging/. Thoughts? It is currently not for sale on the Samsung accessory web site. Does anyone have one and what do they think of it? Does anyone know where to get one?
Looks pretty interesting.

We got a discussion about it going on there but none of the answers you want. the device is still a bit of a mystery as a lot of online retailers are not showing stock.
I am still looking for one as well...

I think this is one on eBay, http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S6-EDGE-WIRELESS-CHARGING-PAD-WIDE-RETAIL-PACK-EP-PN915I-/231539208400?hash=item35e8cff0d0
No, that's not it. Look at the photo I posted - it's also a case
Anybody have any ideas? http://www.samsung.com/global/galax...mages/galaxy-note5_charging_power-to-go_l.jpg

I did live chat with the Samsung Support reps and they said to call the Samsung Support line and I would be able to order one (that they were available). Here is the number: "1-855-SAM-USA1 (1-855-726-8721) 9am – 9pm ET, 7 days a week". Has anyone gotten one that can report on what they think of it?
Price?
I am not ready to order one so I didn't call. Give them a buzz and let us know

I was all about this until it set in that it covers the camera. What a waste. Had it not been for that the form factor on this looks stellar. Oh well...

Yes but you need to think of what is being asked here. With our current technology, batteries must be rectangular to work, and cannot have holes in them. So to have a hole for the camera would be to have to make the battery shorter (and maybe thicker to make up for that) and currently this case already adds alot of thickness as far as I have heard. So there's not much of an alternative! I believe the designers also probably thought it might not be such a big concern as well - because how much more often do you use the phone for other things - other than for the camera - most of the time, right?

They could have used 3 batteries to get around the camera. Would have increased the price a lot i am sure though.
Yes I was thinking that as well.

I live in the US. Not available for shipment here...
http://promo.samsungpromotions.com/giftsoftheseason/
Charging case is included in both pack promotions.
Did you end up getting the wireless charger pack? When you posted the reply about the gift promotion offers I looked and didn't see one... But I looked now again and the offers are no longer there. Last time I talked to Samsung on the phone they said it would be available in January... Samsung is still not offering it on their website, I noticed however, and calling that same Samsung order line I am told it is a 30 minute wait just to talk to someone - so I gave up on that. Anyone have anything on these?
They could have totally have the cut out for the camera. There's an impression for it. They could have just continued and sliced that bad boy open. I got $100 that the next version of it will feature a hole for the camera and flash. Looks good though.
BTW, what the heck color option of a Note 5 is that? That thing looks sexy as hell!!!
