Hey guys,
Looks like a new induction charging product for Note 2 or S3 has surfaced on eBay. Or maybe it's not new to some. This is not a modded Touchstone version, but instead a patch induction coil that is pressed against the charging pin on top of the battery. It comes with the mat as well. It's a 1000mAH charging current. You can buy the coil or charging pad separately too. I picked one up, but it'll take a while to get here because it's coming from HK.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/190763556346
Thought I would share! :highfive:
I will have to wait but I would like to have this. After that Nokia 920 wireless charging is a simple accessory to have.
Sometimes you just want to throw stuff... just make sure it belongs to someone else.
There is one thing to consider, does the Note II support 1A through the charging pins?

I don't see why not. I was able to charge my Note 2 using my Galaxy S2 micro-usb charger no problem. The 2A stock just makes it charge faster. In fact, I am glad that the induction coil is charging the device at 1A. The heat generated with the pad next to the battery would not be good for the battery itself. My Palm Pre used to get hot when it was on the Touchstone. The slower charge rate is also less 'stressful' on the battery. You can google about the charge rate to see what I mean.
I saw on a thread here that someone is looking for a 2A car charger. There's no need for that unless you're in a hurry. Again, my Samsung GS2 car charger also charge my Note 2 just fine as well. I drove on an 8hr road trip with that charger plugged in and it worked fine. It charged the phone and kept it topped up.
Will not work with different versions of Note 2?

from the ebay listing instructions:
"1)stick the tag with the 2 metal connectors facing downwards to the 2 metal connectors next to the battery."
My Note 2 does not have the 2 metal connectors next to the battery (metal connectors might be hidden)....sucks looks very convenient to have. I think other users have found out that the Sprint and Verizon's version of the Note 2 need modifications for this to work. bummer..

Yeah, that sucks. I just checked my ATT N2 and the connectors are there.
This is the one I bought from a chinese manufacturer. The pad is thick. The phone doesn't sit fluch on a flat surface.
That said, bought this for the T889 and it does not work. Looks like the TMO version may need a wire running from a resistor to the positive contact point.

Checkout that thread, it's mentioned that the kernel limits the charging on the 2 pins for wireless to 500mA.

That's not an issue for me. Induction charging is a convenience for at the end of the day. I'm not in a hurry since it's going to be charging overnight anyway. Besides, slower charge is more gentle on the battery. But that slower charging rate is good to know. It might be a deal breaker for some people.

True, but even at a 2A charge, Samsung is being gentle on the battery. As a genera rule, all Lithium batteries can charge at what is called a "1C" rate. To find the rate, it's as simple as multiplying 1 by the capacity of the battery in amp-hours.
So, the stock battery could charge at 3.1A with no problems. More advanced batteries are 2C and some 5C. As you can see 2A is below the standard charge rate, 1A is further below it and 500Ma is *really* below it.
TL;DR you can charge at 2A with no damage
I plan on using this charger in my vehicle's car mount. I will a NFC tag to open pandora and turn bluetooth on, as well as it will start charge since the dock will have the charger mounted in it. I use 3 batteries in rotation anyway, so I do not rely on charging my phone via cable.
with the note 2 you will only get 500mAh max, with sets people are buying that hs been posted, the base will trickle charge at 300mAh when reached about 70-80 % charged.
i'm actually using the same set, along with a double base and panasonic one at work for both S3 and Note 2.
Again, the charge rate is not critical for me as long as it gets the job done when I wake up. Induction charging is really for the convenience. If I'm in a hurry, I'll plug it into the OEM 2A charger.
Are you using the same one from my link or the Touchstone mod?

i agree, bed time charging, slow is better for the battery.
I have the same one, and a double base, also have a panasonic one at work.
I saw on the eBay listing that the N2 pad supposedly output 1A, whereas the S3 version output 700mA. Are you using it on your S3 or N2? Not sure if you have a N2 because N2 is not listed on your signature.

Think it'll charge through a TPU case? Even if it gets reduced to ~500mah charge because of the added thickness of the case I wouldn't mind.

my S3 tag has 700 maH , not 1000 maH (like note 2 tags)
now i put it on my phone and put it on my LG Verizion wireless charger
and it just beeps green/yellow flashing lights
sometimes it will just show green (means its charging) but my phone has zero indication that it is charging, I figure the tag that was sent to me is faulty
Got my Defender in last week and now I am looking for a charging dock, to my dismay none of the docks I have found are compatible with the case on the the phone. So how many people here have gone wireless? I read that you can get 1mA on wireless, I could live with that...
Charging wireless with this phone sucks donkey balls. Its going to take you 6 hours to fully charge your phone regardless of what the amp rating is on the charger because our phone is max out at 500 Milli amps

People are saying different things here lol.
Its gotta be more then .5 amps when hardwired so I would assume he meant .5 amps max wireless.... unless you flash a perseus kernel then you get 1 amp wireless. And as for hardwired......????
It may be maxed out at half an amp soothe charging mat and rear of the phone don't get too hot.
The normal charger is 2amp and charges in next to no time.
I would say most people would use the wireless charging mat to either charge overnight or while on a desk to keep the phone topped up between use.

Well I'm SOL. Just read that the phone has gold pins on the back cover that touch the mat to charge the battery. I have a Defender case so that ain't gonna work.

No no... that is wrong.
The gold pins are used to touch a receiver on the inside of the battery door to accept the charge.
See this video for example:

I'm curious as to whether or not it would work with a case such as the Otterbox. Search in the forum is down..

Hmmm so we would have to mod our defender cases if we wanted to do this. Good thread about it in the S3 accessories section.
I've googled it and I'm getting very mixed opinions. Most say 2.1 of course is faster for charging. I am led to believe that because even the box to there car chargers say the same.
I would like to disagree but need help understanding why. Maybe I'm wrong and I have a faulty charger.
My charger has two ports. One is 1amp and the other is 2.1amp. My 1amp side seems to actually charge my phone faster than the 2.1amp side. Also with 2.1amp while in listening to music through Bluetooth using GPS and navigation all at the same time, it tells me my phone is dying faster than it's able to charge. With the 1amp side I'm able to hold a steady charge sometimes going up at least 2 percent during a 30 minute drive.
What's your opinions? This isn't the iPhone or Samsung threads so I'm sure we have some of the smartest guys/girls here on xda

It should be a no brainer that a 2 amp charger will charge your phone faster as opposed to a 1 amp simply because one has more output than the other. But I believe that because of the smaller battery the phones have, they need a smaller amp per second of charge. If not then it may destabilize your battery.
Thats just my two cents though. Dont quote me

Be careful with those 2 A chargers. I have seen a lot of threads with fried Ones because of chargers lately
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk
Answer
HTC put a limit on how fast the phone can charge. The chipset supports rapid charging but at what cost (of the battery)? So to be safe HTC disabled that feature of the chipset. So even if you plugged it into a 4 amp USB connector, you are not going charge any faster than say 1 amp. Don't know what the specifications are on the optimal amperage...

Using a higher amp charger cannot damage the battery. The phone will only pull as many amps from the charger as it needs (probably 1.5 amps max).

Htc one battery originally is charged by 5V and 1A charger; Can 5v. and 1.3 A damage the phone?
One thing that nobody here has mentioned is the possibility that your charger might have been wired wrong and the side that charges faster is actually the 2.1mah connection instead of 1mah.
With all of the chargers from everywhere in the world that we get them from and they are supplied from, anything can happen that We don't expect.
Maybe you might want to get it tested with an OHM Meter to verify which connector is the Higher and which is the Lower.

The only thing that is different (as far as the phone is concerned) is whether it sees an AC style charger or DC style. No matter what, the phone will only pull what the charging circuit "says" to pull.

For some chargers, sometimes the 2 Amp port appears to be using the Apple protocol for USB power, so that port will only provide 0.5 Amps to most other devices. And when the1 Amp port somewhat over delivers, and can source 2 Amps if nothing else is connected and 1.5 Amps if the 2 Amp port is sourcing 0.5 Amps for a non-Apple device. Thus some chargers can support one high power non-Apple device (in the 1 Amp port) and one lower power device (in the 2 Amp port). FYI I use this charger bought on Amazon---Avantek. Worked really well, versatile and low profile.

I've had a tylt charger and have loved it on my G2. There's no "sweet spot" because it just sits there. Nice because it's upright and you can see your phone. BUT...the note 5 doesn't work in portrait/upright. It cycles charge disconnect over and over. It does work perfectly in landscape though. I use it when im sleeping so no biggie. There are similar wireless charging cradles on amazon that say they work specifically for the Note 5. As for speed...they're all slow. Unless you get the Samsung fast wireless charger.

I am currently using this one I got from Amazaon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010B6PSMC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 They had a sale on it earlier and I got it for 25. I should have gotten a 2nd one, I love it.I have a case on it and do not have to worry about putting it in special spot for it to charge (works the same vertical or horizontal). As far as the time it takes to charge, it usually says anywhere from 1 to 2 hours when I place my phone on the charger. It may take longer but I usually not paying attention to the time it takes. If I am in a hurry to charge, I typically use my fast charger but otherwise I would place this on the wireless charger and let it do its thing. I did have another one that was a horizontal QI receiver and it was ok but too many times I put the phone on the charger before bed and wake up to phone that is not fully charge. With the CHOETECH Iron Stand QI Wireless, I do not have to worry about it. With so many other QI chargers out there for less, my only wish is that the price was little cheaper. Overall, I love this unit and highly recommend it.
There seems many users are talking about charging issues with their wireless charger. Luckily I had not such issue with my Iron Charger Stand so far. It works stable and its brushed aluminum matches my gold Note 5 device.

Well the slimmest ones are about the same dimensions as the phone but thicker, 5000mah, and are usually only 1A. So that would only get you something like 1.5 charges at a slow speed.
I would go with something like a 10000mah capacity. Those are usually 2.4A and now support Quick Charging 3.0 making it good for possible future devices. It'll also get you a good 3 whole charges at a decently fast speed. It's also still relatively pocketable especially compared to the bigger ones.

K I'll give that a shot. Hopefully it works. It seems that the adaptor isn't working even when I put in a cord that goes to a wall outlet.

I use the 10k mah xiaomi power bank. I think there is even a new version by now. I ordered it via banggood and I use a USB type a to c cable from aukey with it. I
have never managed to drain the battery within one weekend, it even lasts a full 5-day week with moderate - heavy use and I managed a full 7 days with my phone battery and the power bank. The latter of course with not so heavy use, but I was still impressed.

is fast charging?
I have the One Plus 10000 mAh powerbank and use it with the original cable + micro usb to usb-c adpater. No rapid/fast charging, but the phone charges pretty fast anyways.

Yep, I don't exactly know if it identifies as "fast charging" but I really does charge pretty quickly..

If you're using a type A to type C cable, it'll only charge at a 1.8A or 2.0A with 5V rate and not hit 3A mark. It might say "Charging rapidly" but actual numbers are lower than the stock charger. Basically, at 15% over 60 minutes (with the screen off and no use) you'll probably be around 70%. Stock gets you to 90%.

Wow! What a difference that cord makes. Thanks again. I think it may work on the battery.

Got myself a Xiaomi 20.000mah powerbank a few weeks ago. Works very good and I am able to charge my phone around 5/6 times. The phone doesn't say 'Fast charging', but I think it is pretty fast. Would definitely recommend.
Used it camping for a few days, charged it up two full times, took about an hour to get to about 95%

Plain and simple but alot useful.
I am using Kingston Mobilelite Wireless G2 (I think there is G3 now)
Powerbank, SD card, USB, Wifi/LAN bridge in one.
I can stream music/video, copy files and charge at the same time.
I would recommend buying Xiaomi Powerbank 10000 mAh Pro - it's designed for USB-C devices and charges Nexus 5X really well.
