Hi all, today I have encountered an S-Pen issue with my modded Palm touchstone wireless charger with my Note 2. The issue seems to come when the palm unit is placed a little bit higher on the phone near the NFC antenna, but problem resolves when I move the charging unit away...
Looking at the Qi receiver chargers from the web, the coil seems to be on the top of the unit, hence it is near the NFC antenna. Question is, has anyone experienced problem with S-Pen ? I would love to hear your view on this as I am thinking of getting the Qi to replace my modded Palm charger.
Thanks

Also it looks thick. Does it make a bulge on the back cover.
i'm using it without any problem.
If you're having any issues it's probably the electromagnetic radiation from the charging unit interfering with how the phone detects the s-pen, I doubt there's a way to fix it.

sucks that verizon took this feature out.
Sorry if this has been covered before, I couldn't find one specific to the Note series.
Just wondering if the magnet will affect the functionality of the phone at all. Well it mess up the S-pen, gps, or anything else?
Thanks.
From my experience after almost 1 year with a Note 4 and the magnetic Tetrax it has no influence what so ever over the functionality. The problem is that you can not have a piece of metal/magnet on the back of Note 5 and use wireless charger (also from my experience with a S6). The induction will heat it very fast.

I plan on using the metal/magnet thing with a case only in the car so it shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks for the input.
It doesn't mess up the functionality of the S-pen over time?

Only when it's on.
I dug around in here, and haven't found a thread discussing this particular issue, so I'm starting one to discuss with anyone who's interested. I recently found a decent deal for a plastic battery cover with a qi sticker included on Amazon (from China) for $20, so I tried it out. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014KQXR4A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00) While the battery cover is really high quality (and honestly is worth the $20 alone), and I was able to get it to charge successfully on 2 out of my 3 wireless chargers, the phone gets REALLY hot while charging. It sits at around 40-41 degrees celcius while charging. And it doesn't cool down much after reaching 100%. It lowers a little bit, but still sits at around 35 degrees celcius while just maintaining 100% charge. I would really love to be able to let it just sit on my desk all day while maintaining 100% charge, but am really concerned with the heat shortening the lifespan of the phone.
If shortening the lifespan of the phone were my only issue, I guess I could live with it. But yesterday it got so hot that the phone froze up entirely, and I had to remove the battery to reboot it. And when it came back up, the wallpaper was changed, which I found was odd.
So I'd like to hear reports from others who have purchased qi stickers or backs, and see a link to the particular part, and how it has fared in the heat department. I'm curious to know if it's just this qi sticker, or if wireless charging on these phones will heat them up like this no matter which sticker is used. Wondering if LG just couldn't get it to function without heating up, and that's why they decided not to include it from the factory. Including a poll, not sure how informative it will be.
Thanks in advance for your input.
P.S. For anyone wondering why I didn't just purchase a qi sticker instead of the whole back and everything, two reasons. First, I got the leather back, which I really don't like, and have had my eyes out for a cheap plastic back replacement, even offering to swap my leather back for someone elses plastic back. The leather doesn't fit all the cases I like, and seems like it's going to start showing bad wear and tear. Second, I was hoping to not have to fit the sticker myself, was hoping for an out of the box solution. However, that was screwed when the back I bought came with the sticker not installed anyway lol.
Edit: Just realized I should have made the poll multiple choice since I added the freezes or crashes option. Oops.
I purchased the entire gambit: circle case, generic QI sticker and Newisdom upgraded chip. I had minimal issues with the circle case but ultimately I just didn't like how it fit so I went with the generic QI. On my Itian charger I have no issues what so ever, I bought a Captain America Qi charger on eBay for $10 and it will charge for a little while and then overheat the phone and charger.
Truthfully I've had nothing but problems with the Newisdom sticker, especially with Spigen case, I regret purchasing it. My generic one works pretty flawlessly regardless of the scenarios.
I think at the end of the day what matters most is the charger, a good charger works pretty seamlessly.
Thanks!
Wireless charging any phone will get it hot or warm. That's the downside of wireless charging.

Thanks for the input. I've got three fairly decent chargers, and it gets hot on all of them. While the Galaxy S3's we have only get slightly warm while charging, and completely while maintaining. And they have decent $10 coil stickers in them.

This is not true, at least for OEM phones. I know the Galaxy S6 which has qi charging built in doesn't get warm at all. And the two Galaxy S3's we have which had qi capability, but we had to add qi coil stickers to them, only get slightly warm while charging, not even close to what my G4 gets to. And completely cool while maintaining. And I would be totally fine if it got a bit warm while charging. It is kind of to be expected. But my phone is not just getting warm. It's getting HOT. Really hot. And it doesn't cool down much while maintaining.
Way to hot
I recently bought a qi wireless charging pad from a major store will at work for my galaxy s7, first morning phone real hot and battery 0% life. Thought I had did something wrong. 2nd morning woke up late and grabbed phone and threw it because it was burning hand, stunk like burned electronics and was steaming. It had zero battery and was about 50 when laid on it. Dealing with manufacture now and trying to get my phone fixed or repaired. 2 months old and never an issue with heat even with fast charge. Anybody have this issue? If it was on longer I know it would of melted or who knows.
mines get hot around 43 celcious. or less i havent use it in a while as weather here its still hot.
I am considering buying an Xperia X because of the Wet finger tracking. My current Samsung doesn't support that, and since I do a bit of lobster and crab fishing, and I use an app (Fishing Points) to note what I get and where I put the pots, I am rather annoied with the Samsung since any drop of water on it will mess up my usage. And trying to dry out a phone in a small boat is kind of annoying. But then I see that the X doesn't support Qi wireless charging, and I have that in my home office, my car, on my motorcycle and next to my bed. Going back to where I have to actually plug in a cable seems so incredibly stone age. So are there any solutions for Qi compatible wireless charging that works on this, and that doesn't compromise waterproofing?

Yes, add a USB receiver.
Thanks, I see that you have that phone! You mean with the flat cable going into the battery bay? I did look into that, but found that it will compromise the waterproof seal. Or is there a way to do it that doesn't?

It's a receiver that connects through the USB port of the phone, it do e's not affect any waterproof seal, although you probably need to dry the usb port before charging, this is the same with all phone if it just came out of water.
Thanks! But do you mean that I have to plug that in every time I need to charge the phone and then put it in the Qi charger, or that it's stuck to the outside of the phone? In the first case it's really just another way of plugging in a regular charger...

Go to ebay and search for qi receiver, there are many available, although depending which one you get will vary in quality.
Yeah, I've seen those. I'm afraid they will be ripped off in my pocket, I think. So maybe the best bet is two phones and a twin SIM, so I have one for regular use and one for fishing. Or wait until spring and see if Sony gets their act together and actually deliver an expensive phone with the most common wireless charging option.
Just use a case with the receiver, sony knows about qi, they have a offcial qi case for the Z5, but decided not to use qi, and opt for fast charging instead.
Good point, a thin case with the receiver inside would probably be a good solution! Thanks! And Sony didn't think that one through. It makes it less likely that Samsung people, who often have a bunch of QI stuff from their phones, will convert. Fast charging is OK, but I prefer to put the phone into the car holder or on the bedside table and start charging without having to plug anything.
This one could be the right type:

nillkin has the best receiver so far if you are in for a USB receiver, unlike the one's sold on ebay, they just use a thin sticker with the circuit in between, the nillkin uses thin plasic, and is very stable, I have the nillkin one for my XP and V20. USB is availabl;e in two version, A and B.
The offcial sony one is pretty thick, not worth buying, but that is for the Z5 only.
Thanks! I'll get that when I change phone, then. But the picture is of a case I can use on the phone, not a receiver.
In case anybody else wants to try this, it works. But not with the pictured case, that creates pressure on the back of the phone which gives color blotches on the screen. So I found my solution in a so called "Slim Rubber Gel Case Cover" and the Nillkin receiver. Problem solved, and it works quite nicely. I rarely need to to connect my phone with the USB, but it's quite easy to pop off the case and remove the receiver.
I bought a wireless charger receiver for US$8.53 from Amazon and installed it under the case. It works very well. I'm waiting for my battery to get low and I will test charge rate.
If you don't want to remove your case every time you use the USB-C port, be sure to leave a little bit of slack in the cable so you can remove the charger connector
As @dandrumheller noted, the charger USB-C connector also protects the port from debris.
I have a Nillkin receiver and works great. I use a black case so you don't see it.

Out of curiosity, how long does the wireless charging take? What % do you start at and what % are you stopping at or are you placing it on the wireless charger whenever? How warm does the phone get during charging - is there a noticeable difference?
Any and all information you can provide is appreciated.

All wireless charging gets warm. Nothing new there, I had a note 8 and wirelessly charging was all I did. The note 8 got very warm. It's just more convenient to just lay it down and charge it. The battery life is so good on this phone that I only charge it once a day. Once I lay down to go to sleep, I lay it down and it starts charging. I have not timed the speed of the charging, but it charges at around 1 amp. Which is good enough for me. Use Ampere to measure the charging current.
Can you link the one you bought. I'm having trouble finding it.

So I got this Tudia case that is a two piece case. The Nilkin wireless receiver leaves a bump on the back of the case. So I cut out a section of the silicon part of the case. So the receiver fits and doesn't cause the buldge. Looks good and feels better in the hand.

Damn.
I never considered doing this. Lack of wireless charging is the biggest negative for me on the 6T. This adds it inexpensively, and provides intrusion protection to keep debris out of the charging port. Bonus.
Some nice clean installs gentlemen - thanks for sharing the idea and the implementation.

I had the note 8 and loved the wireless charging. That is why I bought the receiver for the 6T. I still have the dash charger in the box. Never used it and the 6T has incredible battery life.
Running the same setup with the flip case. Charging is not fast as my note 9 for sure, but gets the job done overnight just fine.
Do these need to be removed in order to use NFC?

I purchased this one, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M11UT3V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_Rxw7BbM5F519D. It charged from about 35% to full in a little less than 4 hours overnight.

That's the one I have. I just charge my phone overnight as well. So charging speed does not matter to me.
I've tried a couple of different ones, but they don't show as charging on the phone. The charging light comes on but the battery stats don't show anything.
What wireless pads are you guys using? I have a Qi and just like the post above me, the light comes on, but there's nobody home.
Maybe I need a new wireless pad.
Thanks!
