Make my Galaxy S4 Wireless Charging

[nipunali]

I get this from Amazon.com for $34.99, the price is nice compared with original kit. The package includes a wireless charging pad and a small and thin kit that should be installed in the phone, everything looks great until now. The only concern is the charging speed is a little bit slower than using micro usb cable directly. Here is the link where i bought this from: Amazon.com: CHOE Qi Wireless Charger for Galaxy S3 I9300 (Including Wireless Charging Pad and Wireless Charging Receiver): Cell Phones & Accessories

The only issue I have with this is there are no reviews haha.

So you're going in blind, with a hope that it will work. Make sure if you haven't done something like this before that you potentially look up a guide.

If you're okay with the tradeoff in charging speed then go for it.

I've never understood the point about wireless charging. It isn't that hard to connect a cable. The only place it makes sense to me is in the car, and I'm not sure that with the reduced capacity it would keep up with power consumption.

The only advantage I can think of is if you have multiple devises that can do wireless charging. With multiple devices you can have them all charging on the same mat and don't need multiple chargers. Otherwise I see no advantage to it.

I just thought of these too. This uses wireless charging to keep you phone charged while playing you music.

I've thought about that too, but I don't have that situation. My wife and I pretty well keep our phones with us at all times, right down to the nightstands at night.

BTW, my biggest problem with connecting the cable on the S4 is trying to use the wrong end of the phone! Getting the USB cable orientated isn't the problem, but for some reason I have it in my head that the connector is at the opposite end. So rather than the iPhones fancy solution of allowing the cable to be plugged in either way, I need it to plug in at either end!
