So it's September - where is the wireless charger?

So it's September - where is the wireless charger?
Seems to have been forgotten!!!

You know if they released this on day 1 I would have bought it with the phone but now I had time to think I just don't want or need it.
So I honestly hope almost no one buys this thing so Samsung doesn't have these ridiculous delays in the future.

I wouldn't have cared as much if they actually "delayed" the alt color choices, but for that to have happened they would've had to let people know their would actually be color choices other then White and "Blurple" before or around launch. Not after selling numerous millions of devices........
Id've held off on the Blurple had I known a Black or Silver were in the works, but the news came long after my 30 days were up.

Colours are just superficial problems and just an annoyance more than a problem, but not being able to get 32 or 64gb versions still after 3 months is inexcusable since Samsung stupidly didn't include moving Apps to external SD.

This is embarassing, even nokia gets the wireless charging earlier on the market.

These guys were supposed to release their product by Sept 1 as well, haven't seen anything.

Don't buy it. No case on the planet will work with it. I've had it for a week now.
If you don't want to use a case and buy this kit, Just go to the Verizon store and ask them to get it from the back.

Mine is sitting on my desk right now. Works perfectly. VZW is selling the LG charging pad on their website. I had to go to ebay for a couple of the wireless charging doors, but they work great. I have a pebble blue, so I affixed the white charging element to the back of my Defender and it works perfectly with the case on. I could not be happier with the convenience.

The wireless charging is built into the battery door. Verizon probably didn't have them instock so he bought them online.

I have a 32 gig version, verizon branding, bought it about 3 weeks ago...

I've never seen/used wireless charger and wondering how much output does it provide? The stock wall charger is not able charge the phone when the phone is being heavily used, such as video call (GTalk/Skype) over cell network and GPS active. What are the chances that the phone has to be totally idle and nothing running in the background for the wireless charger being able do it's job?

just seen one in china, will post photo's later on.
Base
input 19V--1A
output 5-1A
pad
input 5V-700mA

Color me intrigued... How much that run you?
Is it the full battery cover replacement or just the inductive pad itself to put under the stock cover? Looks like just the pad itself sitting on a charging station. Not that is mind that one bit so long as it didn't bulge the case much. Been tempted to buy the Verizon covers and peeling the pads off to do just that actually

I have the Verizon cover, on AT&T phone and it works great except for that the NFC does not work , there is an extra contact that is only available on the Verizon version not sure why that is
== Yea.. I tapped that!

They merely announced them, none of the new gear is actually available yet.

FOR REAL...... how hard is it if all the hackers on here have modified them and the damn factory can't? I have no desire to physically mod this phone, even though I've got a car in the garage with a ridiculous amount of work done to it - I like to mod things like this but I'm really hoping Samsung can figure this out soon so I don't have to resort to it!

Question about sph-d710 and the I9100

My girlfriends phone has been acting strange. Showing that it is charging when nothing is plugged in, beeping consistently, and instead of shutting down it reboots. We took it in to Sprint and they said it has minor water damage in the bottom half. No insurance so nothing they could do.
It seems like an easy fix if I can find the part. It would be the USB Flex Cable I believe and its only $10ish dollars on ebay.
The problem I'm having is that I cant find the USB Flex Cable for the sph-d710 just ones for the Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100.
I emailed the seller of
cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321003355943&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
this listing and he said "this should fit". I just want to be sure it is the same cable before I order it.
I cant find any tutorial so I'm just going to follow along with this
youtube.com/watch?v=aChzv3IzxsU
Video.
Any advice or tips on replacing the cable?
Is this the right cable for the job?
Thanks!

Was there any visible sign/ troubleshoot method to figure out it was the battery? Was the battery bulging and would spin?
Her battery is still flat so it doesnt seem like the lithium is leaking or anything.
Just trying to narrow things down before I spend money on a new battery.
Thanks for your quick reply
Edit: Also the water detecting sticker on the battery is still white so it doesnt appear to be water damaged.

You actually could get a battery cheaper off of Amazon than the eBay route your going. But I figured mine was the battery because I had a spare one to test with and as soon as I popped that one I realized it was the OEM battery and was failing with no physical signs other than performance and the fast discharge and random reboots. How old is her battery ?

Not sure, she got it from a previous owner on craigslist. It is an oem battery so probably the original to the phone.

Check the threads here a lot of people are having issues with the original battery. Seems they are all failing around the same time. But do a search on Amazon and read some reviews before buying a replacement battery but I personaly would recommended the 2 batteries plus wall charger for $20 its awesome you can use one battery while charging the other. Never have a dead phone again. Or just grab an OEM battery for about $5. Do you know any one that has a compatible battery to just test with?
One more thing you got this phone off of Craigslist is it rooted with a custom rom ?

No its not rooted. No one else has a compatible battery . I ordered a battery from amazon so hopefully that is the only problem.
Battery will arrive Monday so I'll update this post when I can.

Panasonic QE-TM101

Unless I've missed it from my research but I haven't seen any mention of this Wireless Qi charger from Panasonic. Seems pretty good as it also goes and detects the device, so no need to move the phone or the tablet around to ensure it is charging. One fairly common complaint I notice is that they have to move the device around to ensure the charger finds the phone\tablet.
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this as I may be picking it up for my Sexy Nexie 4 and 7. Or at the very least, here's another option for everyone to look into for their devices.
Here's a video review of some drunk guy on YouTube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUpr6JkP5ow

I have had mine for a couple of weeks. Love it. My tablet pretty much stays charged all the time.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I have one I bought for my Nexus 4 as soon as my N4 arrived in January. Works fine with the Nexus 7 - although never seems to switch off from charging. When I leave it charging over night the charge light almost always on in the morning but the Nexus 7 only feels barely warm. So probably it is just trickle charging.

From your experience approximately how long does it take to charge the Nexus 7? My other concern about wireless charging is how it affects the battery life overall. I'm assuming you guys only place it on the charger from empty to full all the time?

x2, I am afraid it would shorten the battery life.

Pretty much I am either holding my nexus or it is laying on the charger. From its lowest point, maybe 20%, it will charge to full in 4-5 hours. Then the light on the charging pad starts flashing.

I should add, the nexus is noticeably warm when I take it off the charging pass. This is not a trickle charge.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

To clarify my earlier post:
Charging for N7 takes a long time - I guesstimate charging time is 5 or 6 hours. I normally charge it overnight. My N4 charges and switches off at around 95%. N7 charges to full charge.
The Panasonic charging coil seeks out the best position for charging the device. The N7 coil is physically in the centre of the back, so position placement really doesn't matter much.

flashing means something wrong

I have one, works perfectly well with the Nexus 7. The charging coil in the station is motorized, so it'll sound like a quiet inkjet printer when it positions the coil, but it's not loud at all and doesn't bother me. Works especially well if it's on your nightstand... especially when it's time to go to bed and you're too tired to bother with a cable or another Qi charger in the dark. As long as you don't place the tablet like halfway off the station, it should work.
As far as cutting off charge, some people have said that it charges to 100% then won't initiate charging again until the device drops to 90%. Haven't really had a chance to test it, but every time I've picked up my tablet after a night of charging, my Nexus is at 100%.

totally not trying to thread-crap.... just figured I should mention that AT&T is selling the Nokia DT900 at half price.. $25 for wireless charging is great way to give it a try. It's working perfectly with my N7 and N4... I just ordered a 2nd.

Thanks I've seen the thread and it is a very good deal

Have had this since my nex 4 this came out a year or two ago, I saw it there when I was in japan.
worked fine on my nex4 and nexus 7 2nd gen.
I tried it with the yijieneng receiver on my s4 but didnt work with case on, didn't try it without.
been using the samsung pad because it tops off the battery, where as the panasonic stops once it hits 100%.

I ordered one friday, and it arrived today (tuesday) from eBay second hand for about $25
Using a generic QI receiver from ebay, when i first turned it on and put my phone on, 'oh hello phone here have some power'
then my curiosity attacked me and said 'THERES A BUTTON THERE PRESS THAT BUTTON WHATS IT DO!? so i pressed it then got to spend some time trying to figure out what i had done. DONT PRESS THE BUTTON, i think it has different modes, for finding the phone, after i pressed it the pad wasn't happy with my phones location and just kept moving left and right not charging.. but its working now xD
Im trying to find a copy of the manual online but not having any luck...
Haven't tested the speed yet, but its rated at 1amp so i presume it to be the same as most QI chargers on the market
Edit: speed is great.

Odd. I, too, had purchased a Nokia DT900, and it did not work with the Nexus 7 for me - AT ALL! I have since read that it didn't work for many Nexus owners.
I had to return it.
I then bought this Panasonic model, and it's been flawless (even through my MOKO case).

Sorry to hear it. The DT900 was a total bust with my N4, but still working great with my N7.
Sigh, as others have said, it still feels like this is such a beta level feature (ie. that there has to be so much luck getting the right combination of products to make it work)

Still waiting for mine that was ordered from eBay. Once I saw the tracking feature with the LEDs it was an instant buy, lol.

Hi, it is a really good news! Awesome. Could you tell me how it works? As I understand the charging will be started on demand (when I press start button). What will happen if the phone reaches 100%? Will it be stopped automatically? Is it possible to stop charging on demand to?

Yes you choose when it stops. Like if you wanted to charge only to 80% you just hold the back button down for 3 seconds to turn off the battery case.
As for if it stops charging when it gets to 100% I'm not sure. Some cases shut off by itself some don't. I assume this case will stop automatically
I've had several Zerolemon battery cases and have loved them. From the LG G3, G4, Note 4, and iPhone 6 and 7 plus

Would love to try this for you. Have had the Note 4, Nexus 6p both revisions and others.

I would love to stress test this. I hike in forest, and it could be quite life-saving.

I just now noticed this note on the Amazon page:
Note:This battery case passthrough quick charge only.
Still awesome, though.

I'm guessing it will behave similar to the S8 ZeroLemon case (Not that these are deal-breakers or anything, just wondering):
No wireless charging.
It will interfere with NFC.
It is not waterproof.
No fast charging (except for passthrough).
Extra question: Will it interfere with a Tempered Glass screen protector?
@ZEROLEMON_OFFICIAL Am I right?

Charger hard to connect?

For the past few months I've had a very hard time getting my watch to connect to the charger. Has anyone else has this issue? Thinking about trying to clean the charging port with alcohol. I can usually get it to connect, but sometimes it takes up to 15 minutes to get to the "sweet spot." It's become such a problem that I've ordered a Ticwatch E, but I know I won't be as happy with that hardware.

What works best for me is to hold the watch above the charger and let the magnets pull the charger up to the watch. Works first time almost every time.

I used the tip of a Phillips head screwdriver, and just swirled it in the posts until I could see gold on each of them. Working much better now.
