Hello to all fellow i9305 owners
Can anyone out there confirm that any of the existing wireless charging mods on I9305 lte actually works?
The reason for my asking is that the my usb charging socket started to show signs of wear and tear . Basically my phones socket became very sensitive to any standard micro usb charging cable. Sometimes it works but 50% of times it doesnt. (I have tried four different cables)
The only cable that works 100% is the MHL one (HDMI-out with USB-charge) which is slightly longer and goes in deeper into the socket (making better connection). Since I've realized the issue was with the mechanical failure of the usb port I decided to explore the wireless charging methods.
There is a big thread about it (which is locked due to people misbehaving) so please do not post links to mods (I've read them all).
I even took the plunge and I have bought all the gear for palm mod (that didnt work) and the gear for QI mod (that did not work either).
Im beginning to think that either my fone is faulty (but no way of proving it since there is no official Samsung wireless charging yet) or perhaps there is something I need to do with software (custom ROM?).I am on latest rooted stock rom by Lyriquid, BTW
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

You do not need any mods you buy the wireless charging back cover and matt for a few £ on eBay or amazon

Thanks for the reply
Unfortunately I have tried that (perhaps I shouldnt have used the word 'mod')
Have you actually got a working wireless charging 'thingy' on GT-I9305?
Thanks

Yes: My GT-I9305 is enhanced using the charging coil, etc., out of a Palm Pixi Touchstone back cover with a Palm Touchstone puck. I used copper tape and resoldered the contact points on the wireless charging coil so that they align with the contacts in the phone. The coil is stuck inside the unmodified original back cover using the white sticky cover from inside the Pixi, and some white duct tape to cover the copper tape extensions out to the contacts. I have reused the metal disks with the sticky coil cover to locate the back on the charging puck.
It charges at about 230 mA through my TPU back cover, slower than normal, but perfectly adequate.
The Touchstone puck is fussy about cables and USB PSUs.

Well, Thank you very much
Your post was very helpful and informative, especially the bit about the 'fussy puck'.
I will try that setup again but with different USB cables and chargers perhaps.
Im guessing there isnt any led confirming that the puck is on ?
Thanks again (thanks button pressed too)
Hi guys,
I've used the palm wireless charger with one of those stickers that you attach to the phone on top of battery. It was working perfect but you have to put the phone with this sticker exactly on the middle of the charger otherwise won't work. If you have a case on the phone won't work either. It takes to much time until it charges the battery (I've had a 4500ma ). You can check if the wireless pad works with a multimeter. Put the sticker on it and check if it gets any electricity. :thumbup:

Yes, now I know I need a sticker. Also as I realised I needed the sticker I thougjt I might put magnets as well too.
Then I tried this all and it was wouldn't work with my flip cover so I've attached the palm sticker to the bak of my flip-over case and put the original backing away.
Now its all brilliant . I have my phone in my case and charging wirelessly with no issues.
Those usb sockets arent really made to last, arent they
Thanks everyone who helped.

if you want a "pre-manufactured" wireless charging solution, you can also go on ebay and buy the Qi wireless receiver pad. it fits underneath the battery door as well and NFC still works. The only thing I don't like about it is that it causes a small "dome" on the battery cover so if you use a case, the more "sturdy" ones like the otterbox or the ballistic or anything that will hold its shape to overcome the slight bump.
apart from that if you're handy w/ modding and such, the palm touchstone mod is also perfect since it's insanely cheaper than anything that is offered out there.

Are you still long for wireless charger?
I have current stocks.
You can check out my Facebook page
I have a speck candyshell case with leather wireless charging back. The triangle yootech charger wont connect through my speck case let alone any of my cases. Does anyone have any suggestions on wireless charger for use with speck case?
have no experience with your gear but
my tricoil charger connects well when using thick case
maybe you can sand on top of the pad to reduce thickness ?

If you are wanting to charge through a case, I would recommend looking into a 3 coil charger. A little more expensive, but makes wireless charging a lot better through cases and not as finicky about phone placement.
This is the one I have been using since June and they work great!

I've bought this:
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00...ue&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=A15PJYKCFCEKXF
and I'm verry pleased.
Easy mounting and it works verry well (I chose the variant with the bamboo charger)
Someone have this charger? Brand is perfect, but price is low.

And happy new year
My favorite charger with my G4 has been the Nokia DT-900, which has three coils.
---------- Post added at 01:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------
Another option, which I use, is to use a good quality bumper case, which protects the sides and corners, as well as the screen to some extent, while leaving the back open. Not only works great for charging, but I get to still feel the leather.
I picked up the Vinsic® Portable Wireless Charger Pad ( http://amzn.com/B01A52UAZW ) and I'm NOT HAPPY with it at all. Once the battery gets to 100% it stops charging and thne slowly depletes (or quickly on nights TI-Backup runs) until my G4 is removed and replaced onto the charger. Waking up to a nearly dead battery is NOT a good way to start the day
@woozzy101 , @hannsheinz , @BrunoSlivar , @harpdoc :
Do other wireless chargers stop charging at 100% until removed & replaced, or is this one just a piece of crap?

The Charger I recommended keeps the phone at 100%
But I also noticed they now make a fast wireless charger of the version I have! I already have a lot of normal wireless chargers all throughout the house and office, but if I was to buy a new one, I would start getting the fast wireless chargers to future proof.

I'm afraid that you've either got a bad charger or a phone problem. Both of my Qi chargers keep the phone at 100%. I keep my G4 on my Nokia charger at work all day long and it's always fully charged.

Meanwhile I have two charger, one for home and the other for office. At home I use an charger from Anker
(http://www.amazon.de/Anker-PowerPor...ie=UTF8&qid=1455824017&sr=8-19&keywords=anker). When I put my G4 in the morning from the charger it's alway at 100% and it charge the whole night.
The other one in the office I use always only for max. one hour so I dont have any knownledge was happend when the battery is full.
The Anker charger can I recommend without reservation.
I want to ask a question if anyone knows. I bought a cheap qi sticker from ebay but it doesn't work. I tested the nfc and it works. Is that possible? Could it be that the wireless pad has a problem? Also can the qi sticker cause a drain? I haven't noticed anything after a month but it would be nice to know. Thanks in advance.
Hello everyone!
I got a Mate 8 some months ago and still it, but when I'm at my desk, the phone stays on the table, which isn't all that bad, I know, but I want to do the most I can to prevent scratches and everything. So I'm looking for a dock I could put my phone on. I've been looking on ebay, I saw a bamboo one that could fit a watch, but I plan on getting a Zenwatch 3 and I'm not sure the watch charger would fit and I'm not sure of the quality, so here I am asking to you guys. Do one of you have a dock? Does it look nice?
Thanks a lot guys!
Not sure if there is one that has charging capabilities built in.
I saw a post here by someone who bought an *aluminum* cell phone stand on eBay. Looks well made, designed such that you can attach your charging cable while your phone sits in the stand/dock.

I would really like to purchase the Samsung Qi fast wireless charger
but I have a few questions about it before I buy one.
#1: How much slower is the fast wireless Qi charger when compared to
the standard samsung fast usb charger which comes with the phone?
#2: Does the phone get hot or very warm when it's charging wirelessly?
#3: Does the phone charge slower when it has a one piece case on it?
Thanks in advance,
Have a great day!
#1, add around 30% time to charge
#2 Not that i have noticed
#3 Depends on the case

It´s just with me or it is difficult to put the phone on the right place to charge
I used a few times because of this, depend of the place where you put to charge, of course I am putting on the middle, the phone centred haha

I bought one from here and it was legit (not fake). Buy one and if you don't like it, send it back. I dock my phone every night I go to sleep. It has a very quite fan noise and the charging light notification is bright, but some electrical tape can take care of it.

What I was asking for were answers to my three questions from users who have
the Samsung Wireless QI Charger and have used it and have experience with it.. LOL
I already knew that I can send it back/return it if I don't like it, That's what I am trying to avoid!!!
Thanks for the reply...

I have both, the flat and the tilted charger from Samsung. I got an extra at Radio Shack going out of business, gutted it, and put it under the cubby hole in my car to charge while driving. The flat one I have next to my computer and use it rarely. The tilted charger, be warned. The lip of it where the phone sits is extremely narrow; 3 weeks after I got my Edge 7, it became an Olympic ski jumper, slid off the charger, off the desk, and right into the metal rail on my bed and cracked the housing at the charging port. I really only use the home chargers when I go to bed, and the one in my car while driving 40 miles to and from work. I like them because I've been getting Ringke cases that have port covers, and using the wireless, I don't risk marring the finish trying to connect a cable. It's funny how many people see it, either at work, or when I installed it in the car, and really like the idea. I never take my case off to charge, and never really notice it being any hotter than if I were using it for an extended time period.

I know, but you are thinking of buying one. I'm simply giving you a link, if you decide to buy one, to a REAL Samsung fast wireless charger for a good price. The market is flooded with fake ones at low prices. Usually, if the price is fairly low, then it's a fake Samsung product.

Every time i use it (with s6 edge+ or s7 edge) it charges, no problem at all, even with the cases (s6e+ has verus high pro shield and s7e has spigen case rugged armor)
I don't have Samsung QI Charger, I got my QI Wireless Charger from Anker, Very great quality for the half of price and do the same job
Since i am not using fast charging via cable and always charge the regular - slow - way so i got the regular one from Anker, Charge time is as same as the cable time.
No major heat or something just the regular warmth, and working fine with cases.
I like it, very easy to just place the phone and wake away , no cables or USB Port damage, Won't back to regular charge

I have two of them. Stand.
#1: 20-30%
#2: It gets warm even with the fan at the back of the charger running all the time.Not hot and not very warm.
#3: Not in my case and I have cases with different thickness.
Yesterday I dropped my wall adapter, I think that it wasn't damaged because it's still charging. However, I shaked it to check if any part was broken or something like that and I felt something inside, it was like sand inside, I have to put the adapter too close to me to hear it. Is it normal? Do your wall adapters sound too when shaking them?
Sorry if I'm a little paranoid
Thanks in advance.
