Wireless charger

I have not seem Samsung has this product for Note 2 but see lots of 3rd party wireless chargers available on the market. Is there any difference or anything we should watch for such accessary for Note 2? Thanks!

The Sprint version doesn't support wireless charging, the international version does.

They're essentially the same, Qi standard chargers that is. Just get the Samsung one since it's $25 right now

Samsung has not released an official QI charger receiver for the note 2.

I thought this thread was about the charging pad, not the receiving coil...

it's about both, you need both the receiver and transmitter for wireless charging.

I investigated wireless charging for a time, but it appears nearly all wireless chargers charge at a particularly slower rate (0.5A). With such a big battery on the Note 2, this leads to pretty crazy charge times. Having said that, there are 'some' chargers which are 1A, like so:

I just bought a 3rd party receiver sticker and charging pad. The receiver sticker is placed beneath the back cover. It works with Samsung charger comes with the phone. When I place my Note 2 on the pad, there is a pop up message saying "Wireless charging - You have placed the device within range. Now charging wirelessly...". I am testing how long it will take to have a complete charge. The initial feeling is that the charging is slower as compared with wired charging with Samsung charger.

I have a few
yijieneng Q300 (dual base charger)
yijieneng T100
Yijieneng N9 (Mobile wireless qi charger with 4400mAh Battery)
Panasonic TM101 (Motorised base)
Metrans mwt 02
Metrans mwt 03 (worlds smallest qi charger)
Metrans W5000 (Mobile wireless qi charger with 5000mAh Battery)
sanwa WLC-STN11W (soon)
1 Unbranded (Mobile wireless qi charger with 5000mAh battery).

I got a pretty good combo, so far. Its a generic black PowerQi + slim receiver (black) bulging is really minimal. Cant even tell its there. got both from ebay. Charging time is comparable to stock charger or even faster. Been trying different scenarios (position of the phone on the charger) and so far its been working great even with a spigen case on it. I will report back with update maybe with pics as well.

I'm curious about you mentioning about the speed is comparable to stock charger, as the stock charges at 2000mAh whiles the qi only has a max of 466mAh.

Yes it is... so far at least. Unless my phone/battery is giving me a wrong reading..... suggest a good app to verify?

I've sent them a message asking if the magnet affects the compass and the pen on the note 2

Synergy Wireless Charger
Hi Bryan792 and jyan_osu,
Thanks for mentioning Synergy. I'd be more than happy to answer any additional questions anyone has in this forum. Synergy might disrupt the earth's magnetic field when using the Compass, but any receiver module with a magnet could have a similar impact on the earth's magnetic field. If you use the compass regularly, wireless charging may not be for you. Please note that we have not experienced any issues with the Note 2 pen.
For more information about Synergy, please go to Kickstarter.com and search "Synergy".
Thanks again.

S5 Mini SM-G800H: Charger Support vs Galaxy S5 (testing/results)

Hi Folks,
I recently picked up a Galaxy S5 mini for testing as a company handset, and found an interesting issue where it seems to be particularly finicky about the charger used. I haven't seen any discussion about this yet so I figured I'd post my results.
I used the OEM Samsung micro-usb cable where possible (all tests, except yum cha wall charger), and I retested with an oem motorola cable and replicated all results (ie the cable does not make a difference).
I had a Galaxy S5 (full) with me for all the tests, and all these devices charged it correctly.
Galaxy S5 Mini charger compatibility results:
Wall Chargers
Motorola FMP5512A 850mA Works
Samsung ETA0U83EWE (OEM) 1.0A Works
HTC TC U250 1.0A Works
Sprout SACDUSB34AWE 1.0A/2.4A Doesn't Work (both ports)
Yum Cha Doesn't Work
Car Chargers
Motorola CHR-0291 (P513) 950mA Works
Sprout 3.4A Dual USB Universal 1.0A/2.4A Doesn't Work (both ports)
Does anyone have any extra results, or info on why the S5 mini is so particular vs the S5 (full size)?

Galaxy s5 mini SM-G800H charging problems
Hi! I just bought 2 units of the SM-G800H. To my disappointment, I also found out that those won't charge almost with anything other than the wall charger. I used 3 of my car chargers that work fine with my many other phones, and also tried with external batteries with no luck. Also, one of the units seems to have trouble with the GPS not being able to lock in the position frequently. The onl workaraound that I have found is to turn off the phone, connect it to the charger and they turn it back on... it contnues charging but a slow rate. Any help or sugestion regarding this topic will be appreciated.
Finally. I was wondering if the car charger that you mention is this:
Motorola Vehicle Power Adapter micro-USB Rapid Rate
Thanks!!

Hi, for what I've found, I'm in the strange situation as I can't charge my s5 mini with this pocket battery
Mophie Powerstation XL
Compatibility: Smartphones, Tablets & USB Devices
Battery Capacity: 12,000mAh
Warranty: 1 Year Warranty
whether I can charge Ipad, S3, Nokia Lumia, etc
So looks like they limited on purpose this phone to charge with specific parameters (which I'd really like to know)

Confirmed that the Motorola CHR-0291 works. Many thanks for doing the test! I was also going crazy trying to find a charger that worked.

Wireless Charging Stands

Will this fast charge my note 5?

Here is the stand charing a note 5. You will notice that it doesnt state fast charging. But I have never seen fast charging work wirelessly on the s6 or any wireless charging device MOD Edit: Referral links removed

Thanks for your update about Note 5. Not doubt Note 5 is a great device. But I am little confuse about it's charging issue.
I need to assure which is better for charging Note 5 or Note 4?

The Note 5 and S6 Edge Plus are the first devices to hit the market that support it. It's a new standard by Qi. We should see some hitting the market soon. Even Samsung's fast wireless chargers are hard to come by right now. They're still on "Coming Soon" on their store's site.

the nice thing about this one and a couple others are the fact that the phone stands up vertically on it, so you can continue to use your phone easily while it recharges..
its more of a PITA to do with the chargers that you lay your phone down flat on...

All, I spoke to the Choetech team last night. They gave me this discount code that I wanted to share with all of you.
Discount code K96YPTJK with $5 off for CHOETECH Iron Stand Wireless Charger, this code would be active from 2015-08-19 to 2015-08-26
Hope you can take advantage of this offer. EBPMAN.

When I entered the code on Amazon, it didn't do anything. The $35.99 price remained the same.

The Samsung fast wireless charger has hit their website now. As far as I know, it is the only one I've heard of supporting the fast wireless charging but is going to cost about $70..
That said - the Qi charging spec was updated to include 15W in June of this year. My guess is that you'll be seeing a lost of third party ones popping up soon, and since the new spec is backwards compatible the 5W ones will probably start falling by the wayside...
In the mean time, this is a great stand charger. I have both this one and the CHOETECH Stadium and they work great on my regular S6 Edge.

That's because no other device offered "rapid wireless charging". The Note 5 does, this charger doesn't do that.

How long time does it take to fully charge your Samsung S6 and Galaxy Note5 separately?

I can speak for everyone in the US at least, but if you logged into your Samsung account on your phone, you should have received a 30% off coupon code for the Samsung store in your email.

What's the benefit of this charger over something like this one...
Qi Wireless Charger
for 13 dollars besides it being on a stand?

the 30% off is for $60 and under, won't work for the charger

being on a stand allows you to see and use your phone while it is wireless charging.
and, to pay 50-70 dollars for the samsung one is insane, where there are several very good ones on Amazon in the 18-35 dollar range.
Samsung, as we know, overcharges to the max for their phone accessories

this one has a single coil so you have to place the phone in the correct spot, and that its flat. the one in the OP is metal, and stands up, and has 3 coils so presumably it can charge no matter how you place your phone on the stand. otherwise they both charge at the same speed.
I have the same one as the one you linked. it works fine with the note 5. I taped it up to a cheapy stand and it works

[Q] Can Galaxy S10 charge the Galaxy Watch?

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.
