Wireless charging?

[kcguy76]

I picked up the OEM Wireless Charging back (Found it on eBay for $35). I tried a few wireless receivers, but they DO break the water-tight seal. I also wasn't a fan of the bulge they caused in the back...they gave the back a cheap look (IMHO). The Samsung OEM Wireless Back is definietly thicker. Also, I tried a Spigen Neo Hybrid, Spigen Slim Armor, and a Diztronic case, and NONE of them will fit with the OEM Wireless Back. HOWEVER, the Belkin Air Protect Bumper fits like a charm and works perfect with the OEM Wireless Charging Back. I love the bumper being minimalistic, and still being able to see the back of the device. I think this is the perfect combo with the OEM wireless charging back. Frankly, even if I didn't have the OEM Wireless Back, I would likely use this bumper. Really enjoying it! Hope this might help a few people looking around for cases, etc

Thats cool, I am still reasearching, there is an abundance of wireless chargers out there and I was thinking more along the lines of a car mount for mine...

Amazon.com: CHOE UPGRADED Qi Wireless Car Charger Dock with Wide Charging Area for Nexus 5, Nexus 4,Nokia Lumia 920, MOTO Droid Mini,HTC Droid DNA, HTC Rzound,Blackberry Z30,Pentax ,Samsung, Google, LG, HTC and Other Qi-Enabled Phones and Tablets: Ce

That is a neat product. If I were still "on the job" traveling like I used to, that would be in my car.

Isnt this the better way to go for wireless charging?
Amazon.com: S5 SlimPWRcard - 0.5mm Qi Receiver for Samsung Galaxy S5 SV: Cell Phones & Accessories

Too bad they don't list the output power of the card. Still looking for a pad that can put out 1800-2000 ma matching the stock USB charger.

 

[krazycarl]

The stock usb charger on the galaxy s5 only puts out 1200 ma.
So good luck finding a wireless one that puts out or charges the phone at 1800 to 2000. But if you do please let me know I would buy it for sure

So after following this thread and researching online I finally got myself a wireless charger.
It's more expensive the anything posted here but I'm very happy with it so far

The Card

Good looking stand charges pretty quick of course not as fast as using the usb 3.0 but alot faster then I expected, it also let's me put the phone in a horizontal position but probably the best thing is that it still charegs through my Spigen Slim Armor Case reviews even say it charges through otterbox cases

 

[AZgl1500]

glad you posted that, bookmarked it for future reference.

I like the way that charging stand is set up.

there are many wireless charger with good price, and it is easy to find out, as they are they are having anniversary promotion.

I just got the OEM Samsung wireless door today and I was very disappointed to find out that it does not fit with my Spigen Neo Hybrid and Tough Armor cases. I wish I had seen the post saying that it didn't fit for another member either. I guess I'll be sending it back and trying something else.

Looks like a good product from just viewing it.

However, I note that that advert does not include the charging pad.

For a cheaper price at $18.99 I bought this one which does come with the Qi Pad and it works. No need to buy a separate Qi charging pad.

I received this one this week. Worked awesome outta the box. I originally used the battery pad I already had an it worked great. Then tried the one that came with it (which is thinner btw) and it works flawlessly as well. Very pleased.

so for 19 bucks this is all I need to charge wirelessly? I have a stock Verizon S5.

I put the card on top of the battery, plug my cord into the pad and thats it?

thanks a bunch if so...I will buy it as soon as I have confimation from ya'll

The charging card looks very large. Will it fit the S5 without compromising the watertight seal?

I'd still like to find a card that will charge at more than 750 ma so it charges at the same rate as the factory charger or does that become a heat issue?

If you go back and read... you will see both AZgl1500 & jmatteis said it worked great for them.

That is totally correct. All you need do is plug the Qi pad's cord into the OEM 2.1 amp charger module and it is good to go.

Nothing else is needed. It is complete sans the charger module.

$18.99 gets you the Qi internal receiver, the external Qi pad, and it comes with a cord on the pad... all you need is the OEM a/c adapter.

Nice, thanks. And the stock cover closes perfectly?

 

[AZgl1500]

correct, the cover closes just fine and there is no bulge visible on the back.

Hi all, for those who have the genuine wireless charging back cover do you know if the below case would fit?

Gel Silicone Case Cover for Samsung Galaxy S5 SV i9600 + Free Screen Protector | eBay

I have three cases, and the rubber/silicon one is by far the best.

For the genuine Samsung wireless charging cover, do you know what the additional contacts do? I have the qi receiver that fits into the normal cover, but it only connects to two of the pins.


The current charger I have, works sometimes with the case and sometimes it doesn't, just switching on and off constantly. If this a faulty charging pad? Or is the case too thick?

I suspect that the charger contacts aren't staying put properly.

With my Qi receiver wafer, I had to place a small piece of business card stock over just the two contact pins.

Do not place it over the battery area, that will cause the case to be bulged out.

This has given me a permanent fix on my el cheapo $18.99 Qi charger and pad combo. Works every time. My S5 is nestled into a Speck CandyShell Grip case and no charging problems at all.

I didn't even realize the different power. My old charging battery pad I noticed charged faster but it created a bulge. This one works flawlessly. No bulge. Small piece of business card over contact area works awesome. Very happy though.

Anyone else's phone stop wireless charging? . Using the one from eBay has been great for a couple of weeks. This morning took it off. Phone was down to 23% and the phone was hot. Blue light on and charging lightning bolt showing on phone. Tried again this morning and it lost 2%. Regular plug in charging is quick and effective. Thoughts?

 

[AZgl1500]

I have this one, and it has worked like it should for 7 weeks now or more.

Do you charge yours overnight? First use last night. I noticed it was at 100% this morning but it stopped charging and was pretty hot. Does it stop when it gets to 100 the start again to keep it there as it goes down??

Yes, I lay it on the charger when I go to bed.

In about 4 hours or so, it is usually finished, but if my eyes are still glued shut, it stays there until I get up for work at 0500 hrs. At that time, the phone is not even warm because the S5 charge regulator has cut it back to only a trickle charge and holds it at 100%.

The charge does not shut off, it only reduces to a very tiny trickle charge. Just enough to keep even with the phone's standby needs.

I never, ever worry about how long it has been on the Qi charging pad.
The trickle charge effect prevents any damage to the battery.

I rebooted the phone and it seems to be working again. Weird.
