Do you guys think they'll make a Qi charging adapter? The contacts would connect to the pins on the underside of the witch and the charging coils could just be covered by a black sticker. It could be like the S4 inserts for Qi charging. Wouldn't add bulk either. What do you guys think?

I'm surprised a Chinese company hasn't done this yet. Qi receivers are easily thin enough and making a charging dock like a normal watch base with a Qi coil on top would be simple enough I think. There must be a reason this hasn't happened. I'd buy it for sure. I can't stand the stock charging cradle and I'm not spending $35 for a spare one either. That's highway robbery. I'd like to see this happen.
The hardware needs to support it, but I am willing to modify hardware given to tools and instructions.
I'd buy one for sure. I'm an avid QI user with a charger bedside, couchside, in home office, work office, and the QI car charger for my Note 3.
Please make this!

i just got my zerolemon, and was wondering if anyone has tried attaching the wireless receiver (for Qi charging) at the back of the battery.
Will the wireless charger pad still work over the TPU cover of the zerolemon?
I'm sure it would work if you extended the terminals so they reach. Having perseus kernel installed could help increase your charge rate, depending on your receiver and charging pad.
i know theoretically it should work but i'm concerned with the thickness of the TPU material and whether it will permit inductive charging.
has anyone here actually tried this?
There's a note 2 wireless charging thread that someone just posted in saying a Panasonic qi receiver worked with a body glove tpu case. If that is about the same thickness, then you be the judge.

Actually it does work. i Just ordered a qi receiver and pad and going to operate.
Since i am a new user they wont let me post links but if you google it "zerolemon qi" there is a guy who posted pictures on google plus and explains on how he did it..
Hello guys,
Few weeks ago i read about connecting standard wireless qi usb adapter to phone itself. I mean, connect 2 stripes of cables to 5v and ground on motherboard, so usb would be still avaiable. Do you know where on motherboard those pins are ?

Interesting, I'm trying to find out too. I did a mod that way with my NOTE1. Mostly likely near the USB port, but I afraid it'll affect the NFC , because NFC is on the Cover. And the coil 's pcb must be extremely thin.
I would gladly get rid off nfc anyway, as I don't use it. Voltometer is on its way to me, so any time soon I'll try to update the thread
news pliz??
thanks..
Can wireless charging be used when case is still on the phone?

current Qi is good for 7mm i believe...which is plenty of space for most cases. it wont pass through metal though, and I'm sure some materials hinder that more than others. I used a couple different cases on my nexus 5 and was able to charge with all of them.
The Qi chargers are 12V I believe. I modified a car charger to fit the adapter for the Qi wire. I had to solder it to the 12V wires in the car plug. The 5V would not charge it.
You should be able to find 12V power coming out of the power supply.
Hi, I'm using my fast wireless samsung charger. I was told by someone that the magnetic field can damage your phone??? And with the new FAST wireless charger, the magnetic field is even stronger which enables the fast wireless charging. Can wireless chargers actually damage the phone?
P.S. I'm using it with my Note 5 (N9208 Taiwan Import). I have to use a travel adapter on the plug because taiwan plugs are 2-pin and UK plugs are 3-pin.

In addition, the magnetic waves can cause brain damage, genital reduction, and cause you to grow hair between your toes.
...Or maybe not...
Just something to keep in mind: The entire Earth is surrounded by massive magnetic fields. I wouldn't worry about it.
Let's just put it this way, why would Samsung make a feature that would destroy their phones and then have to deal with customers with broken phones? The electro magnetic field will not harm your phone (it can get hot, but that's just the way it is).
Try not to listen to people about tech if they don't know anything about it, like how there are still people who think sitting closer to a TV is worse for you. (It's not btw, simply a fear that carried on when TVs used vacuum tubes and xrays)
Hi,
I love the idea of wireless charging, especially with a waterproof phone so you don't need flaps or something like that for the charging port.
Ok, well the charging port of the xperia phones is very nice and I was using a dock quite a long time.
But hey, lets try charging the phone via qi.
This is the case thei the receiver mounted:
Since I decided modding the phone itself is not possible until larger modifications are made I decided modding a case to become a charging case.
The dock-ports are ideal for this.
So I bought a QI reciever. The reciever for the Samsung galaxy note II would do the job because the polarity matches with the polarity of the dock port (the upper one on the phone is the positive terminal).
The first receiver I bought was mechanically perfect because it is very small and thin. I taped it to a QI charger and connected the pins via lab wires to the phone. Unfortunately the receiver starts pulsing its output. I think the phone draws more current than the receiver could handle. Watching the receivers output with a scope showd that the receiver has much ripple and the voltage is around 7 V. This is to much, luckily the phone took no damage.
Here is a photo of the bad one:
So I bought a second receiver.
I'm from germany so, this is a link to german amazon.
You have to remove the 2 gold pins and replace them with 2 spring contacts.
I was using these contacts:
Put the receiver in the case, put in the phone and align it, so the spring contacts can touch the dock connector.
The remove the phone, fix the receiver with some tape and use a 2 component epoxy the fix the part with the spring contacts at its correct position.
Oh, and cut a hole for the flashlight led of the phone.
I used J-B-Kwik.
I uses the glue also at the outside to provice stability:
the case is just a bit to small for phone and receiver but it holds the phone nicely.
I forgot my qi charge at the office so I cannot provice a image with the phone charging, I can take a picture tomorrow.
Yes, the performance would be better if the receiver is mounted below the plastic case between plastic and leather. But is is to big for that. Even cutten the edged is not enough.
Here is a comparison with the old, non working receiver, it is smaller and I cut the edged.
I works well enough.
Hopefully this would be usefull for somebody.
I you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Hi community!
I´m thinking about buying that QI induction addon that´s plugged into the usb c port.
My new car offers the feature.......
Has anyone made some eperience with it?
Is it worth?
Are there better or worse ones?
Make sure you buy one with a short enough cord that the coil does not obstruct the camera sensor. Obviously, you wouldn't be able to DASH charge with a Qi pad. Through personal experience, I have found that third-party Qi add-ons tend to be slower than charging with a USB cable on a 10W charger. These pads are thin, but not this enough to be negligible. If you have a tight-fitting case, it may cause a bulge in the back.
Don't do it. That's my recommendation. Especially if you can't plug the phone in anymore. You will leave it charging wirelessly for an hour to see like a 5% charge happen. It's the slowest for of charging like plugging it into your computer.
Slow, heats up the phone, the cable for the piggyback qi module breaks after twenty removals.

I have this on my OP2, and i think it works very good. It is a bit hassle if you plug your phone into a computer alot, but i usually dont. I also have a Qi charger at work, so i can charge it during the day, witch leaves me with around 80 % when i go to sleep.
