So adding Qi wireless charging for Galaxy S5 Mini is very easy - we can buy in China any Qi wreless charging receiver with compartible size and place it under back cover for charge phone wirelessly!
Today I have no tested Qi wreless charging receivers for Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini and didn't found any compartible in china shops, but I request producing them to some china manufactirers. When I find something available and compartible - I report here.

This contacts just for S-view cover, not for QI-wireless. Galaxy S5 mini haven't possibilities for wireless charging.

I asked Samsung support again and they reply me that S-view cover does not need contacts, but some S-view covers have Qi wireless receivers, so they may use this contacts, here is example for Galaxy S5 full (not mini):
Murz, yes, thank you for info, i hope it is right. I have Original Samsung S-view cover for S5 mini.. photo below. Unfortunately nothing about wireless charging

This is interesting, because Samsung support reply me that S-view cover does not need any contacts for normal working. Maybe in your cover this is fake contacts that do nothing? If this is original cover, you can contact Samsung support and ask what those contacts do in it, here is online support: http://www.samsung.com/ru/consumer/mobile-devices/smart-phones/samsung-galaxy/SM-G800FZBASER-support

Those contacts ARE for the smart cover.. It's some kind of tiny electronic circuit so the phone recognizes the smart cover as "genuine", without them the smart cover would not work. Have tested it personally, put some tape over them, and the smart cover isn't responding when opened/closed.. But maybe they COULD be some sort of combo, so you can have smart cover AND Qi Charging via the same contacts, i don't know.. All i know is that the BIG S5 has MORE contacts in the back under the cover, not just two..
Today I buy this phone and check the contacts. They are for the Smart Cover, not for Qi charging I talk this to Samsung support and they reply that before they do the mistake when tell me that this is for Qi charging. So I will try to connect Qi charger directly to the internal microusb contacts like here:

No, I didn't solve. Those contacts is for S View or maybe for other samsung needs, not for Qi charger
I try to connect QI receiver directly to microusb port like here (in photo is other phone model):
But I broke display when try to open device
Reserved
Although Samsung states the contacts are made for inductive charging, to my eyes they seem to be unexceptionally close to each other. On the other hand, a multimeter reveals that at least one of the pins has electric contact to the battery.
To be honest, I'm startled that the internet apparently provides no easy solution for wireless charging the S5 mini without using a micro-USB adapter (which in my opinion is an unsatisfactory solution) or soldering close to sensitive insides of the device.
Any ideas?

I have contacted several manufacturers and they all say the S5mini comes without this feature.
We need to find a way to solder one wire on the +5V USB plug (the GND can be found elsewhere).
Someone from assistance can help in how to.

CAUTION !!! CAUTION !!! The coil of the QI reciever produce an AC current, and is a short circuit for the 5V of the USD plug if not properly rectified/isolated by at least one diode. This diode, or bridge of diodes is supposed to be in the coil assembly. So, if you are about doing such a mount, ensure that you are soldering the wires the good sens, and that, in this position, they offer a infinite resistance to the 5V before to engage any contact.

Just order a TeKit 4200Mah Backup External Battery Charger Case For Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge from new egg $26 has anyone tried it yet?
Question for all. Whats the model number of you charging pad? I got a Note 5 and a bundled wireless charger and i just realized that they gave me the same charger that they gave me when i got my S6 edge.
Model: EP-PG920I
The Note 5/S6edge + charger is still not officially available from Samsung Store, so is it possible we all got S6 charger, that's isn't fast wireless charging? Takes me 2.5 hours for a full charge when i thought it shouldn't take more than 90 minutes.
Yes, it's been stated many times. The charger best buy or anyone else gives you is not a fast wireless charger and often doesn't work correctly with the note 5.

"doesn't work correctly" ? I used the old wireless charger at an AT&T store and it worked just fine... albeit much slower than the Fast Charge pads I tested in Korea last month.
They intermittently work.

When I talked to Samsung they told me the fast chargers, the round white ones, were specifically made for the note 5 and the S 6 + edge. They told me the round black one, the same one Best Buy gave me when I bought my phone, was incompatible with the note 5.
Here's a link to the thread. Hopefully it helps answer some questions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/wireless-charging-issues-t3185669
I don't have any issues with my S6 wireless charger, except I was expecting getting the Note 5 charger. Also, how could it be incompatible?? It's a standard. That's like saying a microUSB cable is incompatible with Note 5. Doesn't make sense. I don't have any connection problem, it never gives the blinking blue light as some have reported, I actually find it works better with Note 5 than S6 edge. My edge sometimes stopped charging, or just started making the sound like if i just plugged it to power source, until I moved it a little, it could charge OK for 30 minutes than just start freaking out until i moved it.
I thought the same thing...how could the new style charger be incompatible? But that's what the dummy at samsung told me when I called. He seemed very unhelpful and like he didn't care. I'm pretty sure the only requirement to be tech support is the ability to use Google search lol
The older square one best buy exchanged for me works flawlessly. I can't complain tho, it was free with purchase. In the future, I definitely won't be buying any charger that samsung makes. I'll wait for aftermarket fast chargers. At least their tech support staff will care if there's any issues unlike samsung.
Yeah I'm not seeing how there could be an incompatibility. The device is QI certified, and the Samsung charging pads are QI certified. Different specs don't matter, the charging rate will be as fast as both devices can handle. In this case, the older pads only do the original rate, so the phone will only receive 5W instead of 15W that it would receive from the newer "Fast Charge" pads.
If something isn't working, I would bet that it's a problem with the pad hardware, or with the phone hardware.
Am I missing something?

I had nothing but issues with the free wireless charger and exchanged it multiple times with no success. After doing some research, it seems some carriers may be having more issues than others. I am on Verizon and have read that the problem may be a software change made to the phone. I do have a Tylt charger that works just fine. There appears to be something causing issues with the communication between the phone and the specific Samsung charger. I had also read that the interruption in charging may be related to receiving notifications. I no longer have a Samsung charger to do any further testing. I would agree that this should not be an issue since it is a standard, but too may people are experiencing issues for it not to be a real problem.
hey guys, please go vote here and lets narrow down where that problem comes from

Thanks for this...voted.
Voted- I have the Sprint Note 5 and it has the problem with the Samsung disc charger from best buy.
I have had problems with my s6 edge+ and the note 5 with the regular samsung puck i got from best buy.
Regular galaxy s6 charges flawlessly on it. If u dont have problems u got lucky.
Maybe it has something to do with the new reciever for fast charging. Pisses me off i get a free charger and cant use it on my new phone that it came with.
Someone mentioned software related issue but i have tested the s6 edge+ powered off without any software running and still had problems.
I use sprint service and have a n920p device. I just used the poll. Maybe that will start pointing us in the right direction.

I was told by the sammy rep at bb that it doesn't have enough power to charge the note 5. I was told by the advanced tech guy on the phone with samsung that my bb got a bad batch.
It's not a bad batch, and not enough power is no excuse. It doesn't work right when the phone is off. Plus is starts charging fine, it shouldn't suddenly have less power after 5-20 mins. Plus, the key is what someone else said: it's a standard. If it says Qi compatible, it's required to work. Samsung is having problems with revenue, and they desperately need sales. I wonder if they are just trying to cover this up until their marketing campaign is done and they have another flagship to push. This is very un-apple like
The Note 5 wireless charge model is EP-PN920BBEG. On the Note 5 wireless charge, it will have the phrase: Fast charge. If you use S6 Edge wireless charge for your note 5, it still charges normally but not fast. You must use the right type of charger to have fast charge . But there are many store still sale the S6 Edge wireless charge for Note 5 users because of profit or another reason. You should ask them carefully. You can google the model to see the Note 5 wireless Charge look like. Sorry for my bad English
On a side note - the USA Samsung website finally lets you order the fast charge pads. $74.95 after tax.... this is what I get for being too impatient to wait for the Korean model my gf bought for me to arrive.
I got a wireless pad bundled with the note 5 at purchase. So far there's no problem with it. Looking at the model number, I think it's intended for the note 5.
I have ordered an S10 (not Plus or E). Publicity material shows galaxy S10 charging Galaxy Active Watch.
I have a Galaxy Watch. Will the S10 charge that also?
If the 10 variant has the same powershare as the 10+ then yes it should. I have the s3 Frontier

I saw one official S10 ad where they specifically mentioned the Galaxy watch. I have read though that a case may affect the charging of another device like a watch or phone.
I have little hope that the S10 will charge the Gear S2 or Gear S2 Classic. There are no wireless chargers that work with the Gear S2 other than the original charger. It's something I've always hated about my Gear S2 Classic. If it actually does work, I'll put it up there as one of the best reasons to buy an S10. Can't tell you how many times I've forgotten that stupid charger and ended up with no way to recharge the watch.
Yes it will work to charge all Galaxy watches. My Samsung rep was in my store the other day with an S10 plus and we tested the watch on the back of the phone and it worked just fine. He said that the coils are optimized to work with a phone or an accessory such as earbuds or a watch.the reason why most wireless chargers don't work for the watch is because the coils are spread out too much and not optimized for the smaller watch.

Which watch?
If possible, please provide evidence of a Gear S2 or Gear S2 Classic being charged by the Galaxy S10.
We tested with the brand new watch and with the s3 frontier. I'll be at an s10 launch event next week. I'll ask for you
Yes. This was addressed and demoed at the keynote.
I have the S10+ and it fails to charge my Classic S2 watch, which is very disappointing. It charges for about 2 seconds and then disconnects. Further research only shows that no one with an S2 watch can charge using the wireless power share.

Right, it won't work. It is S3 watch and up
Tested ok with S10 and S10+ with Galaxy and S3 watches.
with my supcase the wireless charging wont work for buds or watch. phone charges fine tho.
It doesn't work with my Otterbox case either. It would be a nice travel feature if I could drop the Galaxy watch charger but I didn't expect it to work and I don't really want to pull the case just to charge my watch. The phone does charge fine on my dual charger though.

Sure, but my post you quoted said with an Otterbox case on the phone. It's not supposed to work with a case anyway, and if it does consider it a bonus.
I know that the wire that connects the battery to the motherboard is different in both phones but can I take out the wire from the s6 active battery and use it on an s6 edge battery ? and also are the sizes of the two batteries the same?
I cannot buy an s6 active battery because I live in Iraq. and getting it from amazon is very costly. I need a different way for a battery for this phone.
