expect that one would be too big to fit under cover & cover would need be cut & plastic panel put in or source plastic cover to allow better charge signal.
Couple of people have done wireless charging on HD2 but using a receiver similar to this one could result in a very discreet & practical customization ...
You can search for Powermat Wireless charger for HTC HD2 to take an idea.
Thank you so much for sharing the post about the wireless charging, inductive chargers and how it works within consumer and industrial electronics. I wish to share the product for energy-efficient wireless chargers, it's come in all shapes, sizes and colors, so you can pick one to match your phone, which means you can use any wireless charger you like. And your friends can share yours too. Watch the videos to see more. Its easy to use. For more you can visit us.
Thanking you !!!

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.
Hi,
I have the Mophie Juice Pack (wireless charging enabled battery case). I bought this one because there were a couple of reviews out there saying NFC still worked.
I'm finding that it doesn't work at all with the case on. Which is a big kick to the balls given it cost £100/$100.
Does anyone know of a way to boost the NFC? Either through software or some tinkering with the phone or case?
Thanks
Joe
It's likely that the few reviews you mentioned are paid or simply fake.
A lithium-ion battery is essentially thin metal foils with electrolytes in between. In addition to the metal in the battery, the wireless charger in the case also features a shield on the backside of the charging coil to protect equipment on the other side from interference from the rapidly fluctuating electromagnetic field of the transmitter in your charging pad.
With that much metal, no amount of boosting the power to the NFC antenna will improve reception, just as you won't be able to see through a brick wall simply by beefing up your flashlight.
Sorry.
Thanks. Mophie themselves said the case "could interfere with NFC." There's no "could" or "interfere" about it. It's solidly blocked as you describe.
I've returned it for a refund. Sad really as it really was a nice case. If NFC isn't a deal breaker for anyone I'd solidly recommend it.

Is there 3rd party one available that doesn't overheat watch?
I am also interested in this.
Related - is there a wireless pad that could charge the GW3 as well as a phone? The included puck won't charge my S10e.
Although now that I have a metal band on my GW3, I'm pretty limited (i.e. watch has to wrap around the wireless charger because of the clasp, as opposed to the original leather strap that completely disconnects).
ever since the moto 360, all my smartwatches have had a metal clasp/band.
i use the duo pad from samsung, but i hang the duo pad over a table so the watch can hang...

Hello ,
i use original charger with this :
Galaxy Watch 3 Night Stand S352
Spigen’s Night Stand for the Galaxy Watch 3 (45mm/41mm) is made entirely of scratch-free TPU for minimal aesthetics packed with smart functionality. It features a bottom lip that cradles your watch on its side for stability that prevents your watch from swaying side to side. An exact charger...
www.spigen.com
Same thing Galaxy watch 46 mm .
Best Buy has the original Samsung Charging Pad on sale for $14.99.

You can 3d print or buy a stand for these
Here's a link to a 3d printable holder for the charging pad. It's my favorite and if you print it at 100% PLA and add some small stick on rubber feet to the bottom it's heavy and stable enough to stay where you put it.

Agree with Best Buy options...
I'm using this one. Works with phones and watches https://www.samsung.com/uk/mobile-accessories/wireless-charger-pad-p3105-ep-p3105tbeggb/

Hi, I just found out that my old Gear S2 watch charging cradle charges my Galaxy Watch 3.
I haven't used it to fully charge the GW3 yet but hey, it actually charges, will try it next time the watch needs a full charge and see how well it goes.

If you just get a few tall stick-on feet, the watch band will go right under the charger. I've always preferred the metal bands and this was the first issue I ran into with them. This works great. Notice the one foot in the center of the fan, be careful not to block the air flow.
