hiya
so I have a official s view wireless charging cover, official wireless back cover, a third party receiver and several pads both official and third party
the issue is regardless of which I use the pads never detect my phone is fully charged.... even when the pad is advertised to do so.
is there a setting somewhere in phone or am I missing something

Hey party people....
So I'm watching videos of Russians with their note 3's and aftermarket wireless charging modules glued onto the back case to match with the golden pins on the phone's back to allow for wireless charging. This looks like an easy solution but I have the sview case which has two golden contacts that let the phone know I have an sview case. These contacts just so happen to be where the wireless charging ones would go (correct?) How do these contacts interact with the case/cover? Are they connected to any other part of my case? If I install an aftermarket wireless charger piece on my back cover and cover the sview contacts with the wireless charger contacts, will s-view functionality remain since gold contacts ares still there. I want to figure out with your help if these two functions can live in harmony since they share the same gold contacts. Maybe the other contacts are for wireless charging too? That would make things easier.

I've been using wireless charging at home and work for over a month and love it. But it stopped working a few days ago, and the device no longer detected when placed on a wireless charger. Then it worked sporadically for a day, and now it's dead again. Any suggestions or diagnostics I can run to figure out if it is a hardware or software issue? TIA
Sorry to ask ... but it could be the charger itself ?
I have a cheapo charger and it can act up sometimes. Luckily, it has a LED ... if the light stays on after I remove the phone then I
will need to reset the charger (or it won't charge the phone next time).
I don't think it is the chargers, since the phone started failing on both at the same time and the Nexus 7 still charges fine on the one I have at home. I wonder if there is a software setting to turn wireless charging on/off or something?
I think that the problem may have been static for some reason. I have found that rubbing the back of the phone with a cloth (my shirt) before putting it on the wireless charger gets it to work. This holds true with or without bumper case on the phone, and works for my home and office chargers. Strange.
When I get the qi charging back will normal charging via the USB (and fast charging via the fast charger) still be possible?
Any recommendations for a good charging base? (Anker seems to be good with other charging equipment so are they good?)
Fast charging is not possible with the QI cover.
fast charging will still available ONLY if you use the adapter from within the box, no matter what case you are using. CMIIW
I understand that fast charging won't happen via the QI charging, but if ou have the QI back installed, you can still charge via USB as before, including thefast-charger, no?
Will the fast-charger (with its higher voltage or however it makes that work) affect any 3rd party QI coils that may not be prapared for this?
There is no way for fastcharging to work with qi wireless charging. NO WAY. But if I remember well the official qi charging back is outputting 800 mah witch is not bad at all.

Maybe you need to ask samsung or Qi in that.
I guess they have different route for filling the battery. But I don't know as I'm not an electronic experts.

Fast Charge works fine with the Samsung S Charger View Cover. Not received my 3rd Party receiver yet but cannot think it would have any impact to Fast Charging either!
I need an expert advice in choosing Samsung original charging back or this Qi receiver. I have gotten used to with NFC to toggle things and I need NFC to work. Right now I have NFC cards (Mifare smartcards) pasted at the back of my desk and I use it over the desk that is 2 cm thick. I don't even have to touch phone to the desk for NFC to work. I hover 5mm above and Tasker takes over (with one profile I copy files off network drive). With so much of automation, I cannot go back to NFC working sporadically or working when I have to physically touch the card.
I do not use protective cases as I want my phone looking slim and sexy. And I heard original wireless back cover is too thick. Please tell me how thick it is. And if you are using Qi receiver, please tell me if you can read tags through 2 cm thick wooden table.
And I found NCF compatible Qi receiver in Amazon (click here). I have a question to people who own original samsung wireless back cover - is there buffer space between back of the cover and battery for thermal insulation? It would justify additional thickness.
I wish someone checked temperature difference at the surface of the battery when using Qi coil vs original back cover.
Having used both, I can assure you that the OEM cover is best for NFC, and I don't even notice the extra thickness. I even prefer the look, as the camera no longer sticks out. It's the only solution that works adequately with my NFC activated BT adapters, and is much more forgiving about placement on the chargers.

And... It's the only solution I've found with working tap to pay.

Thanks I ordered original wireless charging back.
Buy the original wireless charging back, at least that won't void your warranty if something goes wrong.
Anyone using the qi enabled s-view flip cover? I'm wondering if it's possible to charge the phone with qi when you have the flip cover open and put it on the back of the phone?
Would be nice if it worked as I would be able to use wireless charging in my car while running waze.
I have been using my Galaxy S5 with an OEM Wireless Charging Cover and Nokia Qi plate for many months now without any issues.
Recently, I installed an iOttie car mount that supports Wireless Charging. When using this car mount, I noticed that the Camera would not turn on. I get a popup error message that says the camera failed or that it can not connect to the camera. I then tested the camera while charging on my Nokia Qi plate and got the same error. The error occurs both with Samsung and Android camera apps.
I also made some other observations ...
-> If the back Camera is already running and I place the camera on the charging plate, it continues to operate.
-> If front facing camera was last used and the camera app was closed, after placing the phone of the charging plate, if I start the camera app it starts fine with an operating front camera but as soon as I switch to back camera, the error occurs
Based on these observations, it looks like the back camera is having issues initializing when the phone is being wirelessly charged. I would have never caught this issue because one would not try to the back camera when the phone is lying flat on a wireless plate but with the car mount, I tried to use the camera from within Waze app and when it did not work, it lead me to this entire discovery process. Did anyone else experience this issue? On one hand, I am hoping it not just my camera but on the other hand, if it is working fine for others, I will try to get a replacement.
You're not alone. I have the AT&T S5 and it does the same thing. Which really sucks as I tried to use it as a car cam to record bad driving habits and I can't. With the S5, wireless charging is the way to go so you don't have to keep opening and closing the charging connector flap. It is very annoying to me. Basically I believe the strong electromagnetic field generated by the charger coil is affecting the electronics of the camera. It's probably one place that is not properly shielded. I doubt you'll be able to find a wireless charger that doesn't interfere with the camera.

I'm on TELUS in Canada and have had the same problem. Has anyone determined if it's a software problem? I've been tempted to flash my phone to Cyanogenmod just because of this issue. It's a royal PITA and totally negates the reason I went with wireless charging in the first place.
Thanks,
Dan
I noticed the same issue when I tried using Autoboy Blackbox dash cam app and even Android Camera app while the device was charging wirelessly in iOttie wireless mount charger.
The workaround is to start the app before placing the device into the mount.
