[Q] Spigen Neo Hybrid case + official Samsung wireless charging kit - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hey guys,
I am curious if anyone has purchased this combo and if they can confirm if the Spigen Neo Hybrid case fits the galaxy S4 with the wireless charging battery cover, or does it become so bulky that the case doesnt fit over it?
If anyone can confirm this, that would be great!

I have the dante red neo hybrid and and does not fit with the official Samsung wireless charging kit, but it does fit with the $15 wireless charging insert that goes inside the battery cover.

Accessories forum has thread about what cases fit with that back.

[Q] OG Galaxy tab charger/dock

I'm about to get a 7.7 (yay) and have a dock and charger left over from my OG tab. Anyone know if it fits / charges with accessories from the original galaxy tab?
cheers

Not sure about the dock, but the charging port is the same.
You'll need to cut the sides of the OG dock for the 7.7 to fit. I don't know if it will actually output to HDMI via that (HDMI out works fine with the 10.1's connector on the 7.7).
Let us know if that works...could be an excuse to pick up a cheap dock.
I can confirm you would need to cut it. Considering doing it to mine

mine's plastic not sure how I would be cutting it, I'm in an apartment and I don't have a workbench or bow saw lol
You would also need jeweler's files and fine sand paper.

Original bumper compatible dock??

Hi,
I´m looking for a dock compatible with the original Nexus 4 bumper, actually my Philips Fidelio AS111 alarm clock dock is useless due to the thickness of the bumper in the micro usb connector area, therefore i'm looking for a dock that works with the bumper.I really don´t want to remove the bumper everytime I need to charge the phone.
I used the search function and looked through many posts of this forum without finding any useful information regarding a dock working with the bumper.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Galaxy s4 wireless charging?

So I just bought this wireless charging dock last night: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=400461623073
And thought that this is all I would need in order to charge my battery. However, Now I'm worried I will need a battery door. Does anyone know git certain whether or not I will need a different battery door to use wireless charging (currently using the one that came out of the box) if so, where would I be able to find one at? Thanks in advance!

Samsung is releasing a battery door that's compatible. They haven't set a release date for it yet though.

Don't need to get a new battery door. That new Samsung door will actually be larger than the current one. Some/many cases won't fit.
Get this instead - wireless receiver that fits inside the stock battery door:

I pre-ordered the one for the S4, after it was written up on Engadget. It hasn't been released yet, apparently, so I'm still waiting.
Here's the Engadget article. Some good things said about it in the comments:
http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/10/monster-watts-wiqiqi-slips-wireless-charging-into-samsung-galaxy/
The order site says that it will ship by May 31:
http://www.vivealive.net/WiQiQi-Samsung-S4-Wireless-Charger-Set-WQS4.htm
Well, I just bought it. Will review it when I receive it on the 31st.
I just went ahead and bought a $10 s3 qi receiver, hoping it will work but if not it isn't too much money down the drain. Will let you guys know how it works

I ordered a kit as well.
I hope it lives up to the hype.
Will report.

Samsung is terrible with the S4 accessories.. they release a new battery cover just to enable wireless charging.. ok fine.. but they release a stupid 70bux transparent flip cover that doesn't support wireless charging.. so basically i can never get wireless charging if i ever want to use their oem products or i need a special case if i want to use their oem wireless charging cover and fit?? real smart thinking.. guess i'll give this kit a try too
I thought it was the battery it self that has a coil in it for the NFC and that was for charging?
if not I have my palm pre still that has that wireless charging - could I take that battery cover apart and take that coil out and just attach it to the inside of the phone
I dont see anywhere where a battery cover with this built in will connect inside like it does on the palm pre, there arent any contacts that I can see that will go to the battery charting how would this work

Are you sure you are looking at a GS4?
There are 4 contacts. 2 to the left and 2 to the right of the flash. I think the left ones are for charging. I am basically ready to do what you said but need to figure out the polarity of these contacts.
There are other related threads but no responses yet...

To the guy worrying about the flip cover - there are tons of wireless charging inserts on eBay. You don't need the Samsung back, just get one of those things and stick it under the cover.
Cheers.

I'm using S3 kit and my friend is using notes2 kit from them, (receiver and charging pad) and have just ordered this receiver to use in S4
You can put a wireless charging receiver card inside your S4. Now it is a very pop way to charge your phone. If you need any technical help, please PM me.

I'm hoping yours worked. I've had a qi receiver in my S3 for about 6 months now. I pulled it out to see if it would work in my S4 and it doesn't quite fit. The pad would fit, but it lays over the sim card and mSdcard, which probably wouldn't be a big deal, but the problem is the two small brass contacts don't quite fit in the square charging holes on the s4, they're probably 0.25mm too large and slightly to far apart for the S4.
My S3 pad is about 6 months old though, so hopefully the newer s3 pads have been modified to work with both phones.
I love wireless charging though and just went ahead and ordered a qi pad for my s4 from the fastech link earlier in this thread.

Thanks for the response, unfortunately, the S3 Receiver was too bulky and wouldn't allow the door to shut.
This is what I bought and seems to work perfectly

Does the part you place in the phone get hot? Causing NFC or other issues?

[Q] Wireless charging + Case help

So I bought this case, amazon.co.uk/Textured-Design-Protective-Leather-Holder/dp/B00HQ6SAR6/ref=sr_1_24?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1390735635&sr=1-24&keywords=lg+g2+case+ecell primarily because it replaces the need for my wallet. But I am interested in Wrieless Charging.
As I am British I have the D802 version of the LG G2, ie without a removable back or built in QI receiver. Knowing nothing of QI Charging I was wondering if a receiver would be able to charge through the case . Listing a receiver and compatible charging base would be appreciated

dont know how thick that case is and whether the material difference would make a diff. slow charge isnt a problem its actually good because it preserves the battery integrity over time

Does wireless charging still works with an iRing or similar on the back of the phone?

Hi just wondering if any of you guys are lucky enough to have the phone and also a iRing or equivalent on the back of phone? Does wireless charging still works normally especially with the Samsung fast wireless charging stand?

I doubt it'll work. I have a metal disc in my case for a car mount, and it covers the 'sweetspot' for the charger . I also think it will be too far from the charger base.

Wheres the sweetspot precisely?
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk
I cut 4 thin steel sheets and placed them around the sweet spot.
I then modded my choetech wireless charger and added Magnets around the charging spot.
The phone sticks to the wireless charger really well. Doesn't fall off while I'm driving.
Spigen just confirmed with me that their version won't work with wireless charging
