Magnetic Car mount affect Function? - Galaxy Note5 Accessories

Sorry if this has been covered before, I couldn't find one specific to the Note series.
Just wondering if the magnet will affect the functionality of the phone at all. Well it mess up the S-pen, gps, or anything else?
Thanks.

From my experience after almost 1 year with a Note 4 and the magnetic Tetrax it has no influence what so ever over the functionality. The problem is that you can not have a piece of metal/magnet on the back of Note 5 and use wireless charger (also from my experience with a S6). The induction will heat it very fast.

I plan on using the metal/magnet thing with a case only in the car so it shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks for the input.

It doesn't mess up the functionality of the S-pen over time?

Hi all, today I have encountered an S-Pen issue with my modded Palm touchstone wireless charger with my Note 2. The issue seems to come when the palm unit is placed a little bit higher on the phone near the NFC antenna, but problem resolves when I move the charging unit away...
Looking at the Qi receiver chargers from the web, the coil seems to be on the top of the unit, hence it is near the NFC antenna. Question is, has anyone experienced problem with S-Pen ? I would love to hear your view on this as I am thinking of getting the Qi to replace my modded Palm charger.
Thanks

Also it looks thick. Does it make a bulge on the back cover.
i'm using it without any problem.
If you're having any issues it's probably the electromagnetic radiation from the charging unit interfering with how the phone detects the s-pen, I doubt there's a way to fix it.

Anyone using Qi wireless?

Hey guys, I am wondering if anyone has attempted to use Qi wireless with the G Flex. I had the Palm touchstone for my GS3 and fell in love with it. With the Flex I am figuring it is a bit more complicated as there is not simply a dedicated hookup on the back of the device that made the Palm mod possible on the S3, as well as most Qi enabling devices out there connect into the microusb port, which may not be as simple as it could be given the curved back and oddity that is the microusb 3.0 standard connector.
So has anyone given it a shot and have some recommendations?
I didn't feel the need to since the battery last me all day on one charge even with somewhat heavy use.

I'm running this on a Qi wireless charger now. Works quite well except you can't get enough juice out of the Qi receivers on the market. They only go up to 750 mA which means it takes a long time to charge. But I like the convenience.

Do you need a special case for wireless charging? I thought it didn't support the Qi wireless charger. Is it a new feature in 4.4.2?

Good question. Qi wireless charging is a hardware limited option. So you have to add a Qi wireless receiver. You can find numerous universal Qi micro usb "A" on Amazon or eBay. The receiver plugs right into the charging port you have and the receiver is either secured to the back of the phone (it's a really thin, like a thick piece of paper almost). Since there is no removable cover this is the only option. Now if you don't have a case or have a slim one, it probably wouldn't look good. I have mine tucked under a Trident case (in between the phone the case), the Aegis I believe. So you don't even notice it.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Man this is a old post. lol I think I charged the Flex like I do my Note 4. I'll put it on the wireless charger when I sleep and maybe when I take a shower or eating. With the Note 4 it has quick charge so I use the cable if I need some quick juice.
Any word when the Flex 2 is coming out?

cheap wireless charging stand that works!!

Just got this bad boy, and tested it out with cases and without..
without cases, works perfectly, portrait and Landscape;
with the spigen clear hybrid case on, works perfectly in portrait and landscape
with 3 different Verus cases on, it sometimes will work, depending on how you place it, in portrait, but worked perfectly in landscape!!!
Save a ton of $$$, and get it here..

The LG G3 wireless charging stand works fine but had to place the S6E upside down to align the wireless charger
Edit - thought it was working but didn't. Will investigate further
Do you notice any heating issues? I bought one of those ebay wireless chargers for my Nexus 5 and I stopped using after noticing that the phone would heat up every time I charged it using the wireless charger.

nope, it gets slightly warm, which happens with all wireless chargers, and this is a metal/glass phone, but no "issues"
Does anyone know if the Nokia lumia stand works with the edge with a case? I have a spare one in the draw but unfortunately, no phone yet.

I've heard this A6 is good and half the price of a Tylt chargers. I was lucky I got two Tylt chargers on clearance a year ago. I wish I bought 3.
yep, my ebay 20 dollar cheapo works great with cases or without..
the only "weird" thing, is when there is a thicker case on, you have to first place it in landscape mode, then about 5 second later, you see it say "charging wirelessly"; then, if you want, you can turn it back to portrait and it will charge normally..
either way, it works great, so I was glad to save a lot of $$$, and have a desk stand wireless charger!
Yes,it's support fine on charging, great indeed! Also a little sorry for the overheat...
Wireless charging, yup it helped me in a number of ways, above all the availability of charging facility is now available everywhere that makes me very comfortable to keep my phone, ipad and other items alive all the time.
I had a few of the CHOE Qi Wireless chargers from when I bought them for my Note 3. Instead of buying new accessories on top of an already expensive ass purchase with the phone. I decided to 3D print my own charging stand (I have 10 3D printers at work ). This is my first prototype. Still exploring different ways to tweak the stand so it'll work in both portrait and landscape. Currently it only charges in landscape mode.

It does but you have to put it sideway and wedge something under it. so not worth the hassle
is there any heating issues

Is there actually already a car dock supporting it?

I am working on a new smartphone holder which will be ready by next month. This smartphone holder can hold the Note 5 with a Mophie battery case for the Note 5 along with hold an iPad as well. This smartphone holder will not shake while you drive nor rattle (unlike others on the market). The length of it also allows you to have it at your finger tips within finger reaching distance of your steering wheel so that both hands are always on the steering wheel at all times. Brings smartphone closer up as well so you can hear others and others can hear you as well. Much better then the plastic iOttie ones that iOttie makes. You can place it to the left side of your front windshield so it sits to the left of your steering wheel with a battery case hooked up to it so your battery remains charged at all times.

I bought a Koomus CD player car mount. It fits in the cd loader, and still plays whatever CD you have inside. I also bought the Air vent version, but the note 5 is just to big for it to be used, I've been able to test them on a brand new 2015 Toyota corolla and a 2004 Toyota corolla. It's not the best solution, but it works for me. No longer have to look down at phone while driving. I drive manual transmission and this was a huge help. I can watch twitch, football games on espn, nfl mobile, youtube etc

I had purchased a $25 + sales tax car mount universal holder that fit into the drinkholder in my car... however after a few weeks my phone started falling out of the dang thing and ended up on the floor under my feet.... & when driving obviously it's not a great idea to attempt to retrieve it.

Wireless charging success

I bought a wireless charger receiver for US$8.53 from Amazon and installed it under the case. It works very well. I'm waiting for my battery to get low and I will test charge rate.
If you don't want to remove your case every time you use the USB-C port, be sure to leave a little bit of slack in the cable so you can remove the charger connector
As @dandrumheller noted, the charger USB-C connector also protects the port from debris.
I have a Nillkin receiver and works great. I use a black case so you don't see it.

Out of curiosity, how long does the wireless charging take? What % do you start at and what % are you stopping at or are you placing it on the wireless charger whenever? How warm does the phone get during charging - is there a noticeable difference?
Any and all information you can provide is appreciated.

All wireless charging gets warm. Nothing new there, I had a note 8 and wirelessly charging was all I did. The note 8 got very warm. It's just more convenient to just lay it down and charge it. The battery life is so good on this phone that I only charge it once a day. Once I lay down to go to sleep, I lay it down and it starts charging. I have not timed the speed of the charging, but it charges at around 1 amp. Which is good enough for me. Use Ampere to measure the charging current.

So I got this Tudia case that is a two piece case. The Nilkin wireless receiver leaves a bump on the back of the case. So I cut out a section of the silicon part of the case. So the receiver fits and doesn't cause the buldge. Looks good and feels better in the hand.

Damn.
I never considered doing this. Lack of wireless charging is the biggest negative for me on the 6T. This adds it inexpensively, and provides intrusion protection to keep debris out of the charging port. Bonus.
Some nice clean installs gentlemen - thanks for sharing the idea and the implementation.

I had the note 8 and loved the wireless charging. That is why I bought the receiver for the 6T. I still have the dash charger in the box. Never used it and the 6T has incredible battery life.
Running the same setup with the flip case. Charging is not fast as my note 9 for sure, but gets the job done overnight just fine.

That's the one I have. I just charge my phone overnight as well. So charging speed does not matter to me.
I've tried a couple of different ones, but they don't show as charging on the phone. The charging light comes on but the battery stats don't show anything.
What wireless pads are you guys using? I have a Qi and just like the post above me, the light comes on, but there's nobody home.
Maybe I need a new wireless pad.
Thanks!
