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?

Guess it depends if the full 2A current will continuously pass through via conductive charging.

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.

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.

I just bought one of these, when I get it in over 2 weeks I'll make a review of it since no one else buying these has still.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261329370615

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?

Best wireless charging pad for leather + Qi/NFC sticker?

After installing one of these:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wire...-Housing-Back-Cover-Case-T01/32357030303.html
into the back of a black leather case, I've noticed that this phone/antenna is very sensitive about where you place it on the wireless charging pad. I previously had a Galaxy S4 that I stuck a wireless charging sticker into, but that was much more forgiving about where it is placed on the charging pad.
Both pads I have are single coil. Lots of people speak highly of the Tylt Vue, probably because it has 3 coils. There are other much cheaper 3 coil versions available, and even versions with moving coils that supposedly find the sweet spot automatically.
What is the best wireless charging pad to use with this sticker?

With Tylt Vu do you have to place phone in landscape/horizontal to get it to charge?

Doesn't seem to be a lot of talk on QI Wireless Charging Pads.. What you guys using, with success?

LG has come out with a charger specifically for the G4:
http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-LG-Wireless-Charger-WCD-110/dp/B00XPTN0I2/
Looks identical to the one they had for the G3. Does anyone know if this charger (or any other charger) will allow the G4 with the Qi sticker to be easily and reliably placed vertically on the charger, so that there is no other fiddling around that is needed to find the "sweet spot" that is needed for wireless charging to connect and charge?

I grabbed 2 of these http://www.amazon.com/Itian-Wireles...437331299&sr=1-6&keywords=Qi+Wireless+Charger been great going to grab a 3rd for the living room. Phone is always charged up when I leave the house.

Yea I did write a review since I was happy with it for the price it is great. I grabbed it since some other reviewer said it worked with the Otterbox G3 so I figured ok this should work then with the Otterbox G4 and it did.

Lots of people are having problems with their Qi Charging of their G4s. It happens to me too, where the device will just start freaking out midway through the night. SystemUI crashes and I the desktop keeps crashing to a black screen. After a few minutes off the charger, it will recover. I am not sure why it does this though. Charging is a hardware mod. So there has to be some charging software that is freaking out. I've had my Nokia Charger for years. It charges my Nexus 7 2013 and other devices I have. The only problems I have are with the G4... and it isn't consistent. Some days are fine, others are not.
Some have said different chargers work with better results.
I am really disappointed that LG doesn't have official wireless charging backs available (and not the stupid flip case). If you sell a phone with Qi able... sell the damn Qi enabled backplates. I am unsure if maybe I have a bum Qi Sticker, if it isn't aligned 100%, or if it is just the phone itself.
It seems to get stupid when I take it off and on a few times before I go to bed. If I just plop it down and leave it alone, it seems to do better. But if I check my emails in the middle of the night a few times, it seems to be locked up in the AM.

Do people with the official LG flip case have issues with wireless charging I wonder?

What are most of using? Woild you buy it again? If not why? What other if any would you buy? If considering any one brand but price is an issue, at what price would it be reasonable?
I like the TYLT Vu because its a dock and its colors. But its pricey imo, but at $30 would you buy it? The LG dock has gone down to $30 as well.
I also found the LG pad for $20 right now. Any good, worth buying or spending a bit more on another plate or dock?
Let me know your opinions, Im looking to order one really soon. My sticker should arrive this weekend.

These are some I am considering and comparing official LG Qi

No. I tore off the flip cover just like on my G3. QI works perfectly on my G4. I only use the Tylt Vu at home & work, & I have a QI car mount (Choe) for my car. I've never had issues with either. The car charging is slow sometimes b/c I'm always on bluetooth streaming & have my Google navigation going.

Cheotech Fast Wiresless Charger

I just received my review unit of the Cheotech Fast Wireless Charger. This charger costs 34 dollars on amazon. It supports auto-dimming so you don't have to worry about a glowing puck at night.
Just wanted to update this post with a $8 off code. Here is the code number: FOX9T3SJ Enjoy!

good review , and no angry pitch

I got the white version of this CHOETECH Fast Wireless Charger at Amazon. I use it with the new Samsung Galaxy Note 5 & the fast charging is working great. This can be purchased with the pad on it's own or bundled with a fast charging wall adapter.

I have bought this Choetech Fast Wireless Charger yesterday. I am happy with its fast charging and LED Light Charging Status indicator.

Can the lights be shut off completely? I'd like to have one of these on my night stand but wouldn't want any light.

I received my charger from Choetech today and left my review on amazon, I have copied it here as well for the folks at XDA.
Feel free to ask any questions, I will try to answer them as best I can.
First, this is an amazing charger. Choetech always makes good products.
I received this in 2 days and set about testing it.
I was going to make a video showing off this thing fast charging on a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 but I see that there are already 2 excellent videos up showing that. So instead I will show you the things they did not highlight as much.
OK, the quick charge 2.0 wall plug you can get with this is the best one I have ever tried. Just like the other Qualcomm certified chargers, you will get the self adjusting voltages (12v-9v-5v) to give you a super fast charge. The extra you get with this Choetech quick charge 2.0 adapter is the USB port on it is reversible! This is the first charger I have seen with this and I now think everything should have this.
Ok now to the real reason you are reading this. The charging puck itself is a nice clean looking puck.
It is defiantly thicker than the cheapo ones you get for a few dollars. It has some heft to it making it feel more premium.
It has rubber top and bottom to keep both the charger from slipping on your desk or the phone from slipping on top the charger.
It will most defiantly charge your Note 5 or other Samsung devices quickly.
It will also charge your older devices as well. I tested it on a few LG phones in addition to the Note 5.
I noticed no abnormal warmth from the charger or any of the phones I tested this with. This is a very welcome thing as most of my other qi chargers do have heat issues.
One final thing, I tested this charger on my moto 360 and it charged it flawlessly. Most qi chargers fail here and will overheat this watch, this one did not and it charged my moto 360 from 19% to full in about 35 minutes. that is about 15 minutes faster than the stock charger does.
I have attached some pictures and may upload a video in a day or 2 after I have some more time to test this gem out.
I received this product in exchange for an honest review, this does not affect my opinion of this product.

My Review
Hey guys and gals, I received my CHOETECH Fast Wireless Charger a few days ago and wanted to add my review to this thread.
It starts off with nice packaging with color graphics on the front and information about the charger on the back. Once you open the package up, the fast wireless charging puck and included USB cable are both neatly and safely inside. The fast wireless charging puck has a piece of protective plastic on it which you will need to remove before charging.
The wireless charging puck itself is very nice. It's small and compact, has a nice gloss finish to it and has a rubber ring around it so your phone won't slide off of it while charging. The bottom also has a rubber ring around it so the puck won't slide around on whatever surface you put it on. I know this is pretty standard fare at this stage in the game, but very nice touches for a very fairly priced fast wireless charger.
How about performance? This is the most important aspect, right? To put it bluntly, it's fantastic. Compared to the Samsung branded counterpart of this, it performs admirably to say the least. And at basically half the price. I have consistently been getting about 8% charge every 10 minutes. Very respectable and performs up to spec as far as I can tell. If my math is correct, you are looking at about a little over 2 hours to charge from 0-100%.
I've also noticed that the charger has a fairly large sweet spot. You don't have to be perfect with putting your phone on there, it will charge off center. Another nice feature is the auto dimming. In bright light, the charger has green lights that glow while you are charging. The lights turn blue when you are fully charged. In low light, the lights get much dimmer. In the dark, the lights turn off completely. This is an awesome feature for people who are sensitive to lights while trying to sleep.
Overall, I highly recommend this charger. It charges fast (as advertised) and is sold at a great price. It is also well built and the auto dimming feature is very welcomed and a great addition that I didn't expect at this price point.

Yes, charge light was shut off completely.

Got mine today in black. Very sleek and surprisingly dense. Short video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wMc2FBoOuY
Fast charging wirelessly is super convenient, can't say enough good things about. I know the OEM samsung fast charger has vents on the bottom because of heating. Wondering how well this will dissipate heat in the long run.

I charge over night. I would assume this would stop charging once full right? So its safe to leave it on the pad till morning... I normally unplug in the morning

How is it with placement? I can't ever seem to get phone to charge and stay charging even on 3 coil chargers

Seems to connect easily as long as you place it near the center. In the video I posted I remove and connect a few times,each time it registered fine without having to adjust placements.

Hi All,
I also just received the Choetech Quick Charger and absolutely love it! My initial impression is that the build quality is superb. It has some heft to it and seems to be built to last. The top and bottom have rubber grip zones to prevent the charger and phone from sliding around on my desk. I also like how the LED shuts off when the room is dark (great for sleeping) as I always hate bright lights at night.
As other reviewers have mentioned, it can charge the phone from 0-100% in about 2 hours which is about an hour faster then the normal wireless chargers. There's no way I would recommend buying the Samsung quick charge variant over this version as it is half the cost with the same functionality.
I haven't had any issues with the charger detecting my phone using the Spigen Liquid Crystal case and would assume that any slim fit case would be just fine.
Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the product and would recommend it! Please reach out to me if you have questions. I'll do my best to answer them in a timely manor.

I charged mine overnight and woke up to a full charge. The phone wasn't hot (and neither was the wireless charger) so I'd say that it is safe to use overnight.

I received mine today and I can actually charge my Note 5 with the flap opened and pinned back on my folio case. Here's the case I have for reference: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010MWJG0U?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

When the phone is 100% charged does the charger receive the charging complete signal from the Note 5 and cut the power output from the Choetech charger? Or is the charger at 10W all the time?

Review: New ChoeTech wireless fast charger T511-S

I recently received a test unit to sample from Choetech, to use with my Samsung Note 5. To sum things up, this is simply fantastic! I had been using older Qi chargers before this, namely multiple Nokia DT-900 units arranged around my house. This just blows them out of the water! Granted, I've never used "aftermarket" chargers from Amazon or Ebay, just because I figured if they were low priced, they'd be "cheap". Well, I was certainly wrong in this case. Alignment is dead simple, and this charges almost as fast as a wired Quickcharge 2.0 charger. The phone connects reliably, every time it's placed on the charger, and works with the Spigen Rugged Armor case that I use. I haven't noticed any unusual heat from either the charger or my phone since I've started using it last week.
I tried a few phones with this charger, namely the Note 5, the Nexus 5, and the Droid Turbo. My Note died on me this weekend, and I swapped out to the LG V10, but as soon as I get a Qi sticker for it, I'll update my review with that as well. When the Note is placed on the charger, it glows green to let you know it's quick charging. When using any other device, it glows blue for "standard" wireless charging, though it still charges a LOT faster than those old Nokia plates.
The charging plate can be purchased here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016DAFUGY?ref_=cm_rdp_product

Received my CHOETECH T511-S fast wireless charger 2 days ago and it has been awesome so far, it's very small and lightweight which is nice. I haven't noticed it getting any hotter than the normal wireless charger from Samsung despite this one being a fast charge unit. I mean for less than half the cost of the Samsung one its a no brainer. I can't find anything to complain about with this unit, I keep it on my pc desk so while I'm on my pc I just charge it up. Also heres a link to my video review https://youtu.be/Fv1OI7Jq7AE

Note to the Choetech people: please make this available on amazon.ca
Thanks!

This sound a better one to give a shot. It's much cheaper price. Can I change the circle wireless charging pad to this t511-s? lol

Is it fast charging? How long time does it take to fully charge your Note 5?

What's the difference between this one and their other fast wireless charger (see below)??

I can't see any difference other than aesthetics. I'm sure there are other minor differences, but none that are apparent.

The first thing about this chargers faster than any regular wireless charger if you're using a Note 5. I was able to get from 20% to 100% in under an hour and 40 minutes. That's pretty good in comparison to the regular Samsung wireless charger, which took about 40 minutes longer. See the pictures for comparison (left is my 1st note on the choe charger, right is my second note on the samsung regular wireless charger.
The second thing is this charger is very affordable and does work with thick cases (see my pictures). I'm surprise that it work well, but you have to center the device.
The con about this charger is it's hard to see the green charging indicator lights when you set it down vertically. If you don't center the device, it won't charge and you won't notice it since you can't see the indicate lights. If I lay the phone horizontally, I can see the green indicate light but I can't really use the phone while it's on my desk. Also when it's 100%, the indicate lights turn off. Also the build quality is made of light plastic so it's not as nice feeling/sturdy as the Samsung's build quality.
Overall it works for what it does and it's affordable so it's 4 stars. I prefer the puck style wireless charger they are selling for a bit more.

The major difference is probably the LED indicator. The circle fast charger has special LED light indicates charging status: green light for fast charging, blue light for normal charging.

I have been using this pad for a few days now, and I love it. Compared to my OEM Samsung charging pad it is spot on.
Love the build quality and ergonomic design. I appreciate the fact that is very thin and has very sticky pads on the bottom that don't allow it to slide around on my nightstand.
I've even used this in my car and the pad did not slide around or move.
Another great feature is the non-intrusive LED light, because of this it has earned the coveted spot on my nightstand. The Samsung one as well as another QI pad I have both have really bright and obnoxious LED lights. This makes use of them on my nightstand very unlikely. I can't stand that bright LED in my face. Choetech pad has one small LED that can be pointed away and doesn't bother me one bit.
Furthermore, the cable that came with the unit is superb, seriously something as simple as this can really enhance a product. The cable is thick and solid feeling yet very soft and flexible, this is a big plus in my book.
Can't say enough good things about this charging pad, it looks great, charges fast and works well with my S6 and Note 5. Even the packaging was very well thought out, like something you'd expect from Google or Samsung.
Solid thumbs up from me, I highly recommend this product.

The only weakness is that it doesn't come with a fast charging plug. I need to wait until my my fast charging plug to arrive. Btw, do Choetech have some of this?

You can use the one that came with your Note 5. But yes, they do carry this.

The CHOE does exactly what you would expect a fast charger to do. It charges your device quickly and I had no issues with it. A great replacement to take on trips and Sumsung charger at home and priced at $23.99 it’s really a great deal. I couldn't hear annoying sounds from the charger, but the led light is very bright, especially at night, next to the bed.

That is a nice Spigen Slim Armor Case you got there. I have the same one, but I got the gun metal gray back color instead

Is this the same one?
w w w .amazon.de/gp/product/B017KA9USU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_titl e_2&smid=AS3H8BMRCXYCT
Because it says TS511Q and not S
Item model number: CHOE-T511Q
ASIN: B017KA9USU
and also the asin number is different . (maybe because USA/Europe) ?
I hope someone can help me!

anyone knows my question?

Yes, it says 'QI Ladegerät Schnellladegerät' and looks exactly the same.
They seem to have two models, one for fast charging and one for standard charging.

Oke thank you.
and my last question
i can get the Samsun S6 Fast Wireless charger for about 35 euros. (original)
but is the samsung better qualiity?
or the same..? or is choetech better?

I'm planning to buy this one but it's not yet available in my area. Already have the Samsung Fast Wireless Charger (EP-PN920). Anyway, can somebody who has the ChoeTech charger make something like this:
The procedures/full article are from here:
http://phandroid.com/2015/09/25/samsung-fast-wireless-charging-comparison
The ChoeTech looks cooler than Samsung's. Anyway, I was also wondering why they couldn't just use a Red or Amber LED for charging status. Blue is very painful to the eyes. Green for full charge is OK.

I'm using this fast wireless charger from CHOETECH, the design is somewhat similar to that Samsung.
http://www.amazon.de/Schnellladeger...-Smartphone-schwarz-beinhalten/dp/B015K8D8WI/
I personally prefer to the CHOETECH one because it's much cheaper (with a quick charge adapter included) in US lol. ;D
It's not bad with fast charging and has a built-in lighting sensor in darkness that is good to use at bedside.
Well my friend prefers to use Samsung wireless charging pad as it has a heat cooling fan. Hope that helps.
