Qi Receiver - Not Working Replacement Note 3 - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got a replacement Note 3 from Asurion and for some reason the Qi receiver doesn't work. It does on the one I am about to send back.
Anybody got any thoughts on settings or whatever? Verizon model.
I wouldn't care so much but I use my phone on my motorcycle for navigation. I have a mount that has Qi charger on it and it is much easier on usb port and less of a PITA to use wireless charging. Plus I have several Qi chargers scattered at work, home, car, girlfriends place.
I have tried reseating and swapping batteries and different chargers.
Thanks!

I tried three different qi receivers on my note 3 Sm-n900w8 and none of them worked. I tried the receivers on a coworker's one 3 Sm-n900w8 and one of the three receivers will work consistently. Not sure why this is the case since both phones are running the same stick firmware. Neither phone has been rooted or altered in any way.

Car Charger Question

Does anybody know what the power output specification for car charging is for the Tilt? The wall charger puts out 5v and 1mA, but I haven't figured out what car charger is necessary. Internet sites all list different outputs including the 5v and 550mA which is the same for the Razr.
I don't want to use one that will damage the phone. Will the 550mA work but just not as fast, or can it damage the phone?
I have been trying to read other posts on this subject, but none are conclusive.
I just bought a car mount but it came with the 550mA charger and they are giving me a hard time about it.
I also notice that the usb port which charges the phone only puts out a maximum of 500mA. I just don't know much about electrical stuff and I am hoping to get some insight from you all.
All I know is that I am using Moto chargers for my phone and they're working.
I use Moto chargers and they work fine, just not as fast.
Thanks guys.

Nfc & wireless charging

Does anyone know if NFC and Wireless charging work together? Like if I were to put the qi system in and use one of these little NFC tags, will they work together?

That's a great question. If there is anyone with a QI charger and an NFC Tag that can test this and give us a definitive result, that would be fantastic!
I just read up a bit on the Nokia wireless charger (model DT-910) and it actually has a feature that launches an app via NFC, when you place it on the wireless charging stand. I'm not sure if they just basically built an NFC Tag into the charger but if so, that would prove that wireless charging and NFC are able to work together.
Unrelated, but I couldn't get my S4 to NFC with my Nexus . . . yes both had the NFC batteries in!

I asked the seller of this kit on eBay - he says they're unlikely to work together. Still, that's inconclusive either way until someone actually tests it and reports back.
I have samsung charger and samsung back and I can confirm that the NFC sticker on the pad is NOT working

Hmm - I'm using the Nokia charger (DT-900) with the Samsung back, and it charges fine. The phone's NFC is working (I can use NFC tags). The charger doesn't have a NFC sticker on it, so can't confirm whether wireless charging *and* NFC work at the same time
Oh yeah nfc still works with the Samsung back... just won't read the sticker on the charger
(Apologies for the bump, but I came across this thread, and had to issue a correction.)

The charger doesn't *have* an NFC sticker.
And NFC Task Launcher has been renamed to Trigger. One of the reasons, I'd bet, is because it can now be triggered by things other than NFC. For example, one of the triggers it has now is "charging" and you can specifically set an action to be triggered when wireless charging. So, really, the wireless charger doesn't NEED an NFC sticker!
I've got a Qi charger and have tried 2 different wireless charging receivers with my S4. When the first receiver was installed the phone would very rarely read an NFC tag. I then purchased another receiver which claimed to be NFC compatible. That one seems to cause very few problems reading tags.
The problem now is when the NFC tag is stuck to the Qi charger pad: under those circumstances the phone usually won't read the NFC tag unless I move it around a bit, and even then it doesn't always work.
This was the 2nd (NFC compatible) receiver that I bought:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151128038769?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
The original receiver was a gift, so I don't have a link for it. It has a white design, with no brand name on the label.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/QI-Wireless...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item565ce2d0d6
Try this one, I bought it and it works great. The second set of contacts are for NFC. Switched from one that was NFC compatible but you had to fight with it. This one is a major improvement.
I have galaxy s6 and Samsung original car mount
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-HN910IBUSTA
Nfc tag placed on this charger can't be read from s6.
If i place tag out of wireless charger, tag is good readed.
I have tried the same using S8 and it doesn't work simultaneously, QI charger and NFC, I put an NFC stick on the QI charger pad and it simply can't read the NFC, when I disconnect the USB cable from the charging station it reads the NFC.

Will Samsung's EP-PG920i wireless charger work with Note 3 N900

Is it possible to use Samsung's EP-PG920i wireless charger with my Note 3 N900 (Exynos)
Do tell if I need to attach/add any external accessories to make it work
You will need a qi receiver attached to the phone's battery connections.

Then I think this should also work!

Either should work in theory but it is not guaranteed.
I purchased two receivers and neither of them would work with three different charging pads. I have a nexus 5 which has built in wireless charging and it works with every charging pad I tried.

So I should go for trial and error method, right?
I am just saying that it can be hit and miss.
I tried two receivers I got from eBay and they look just like the Amazon receivers I linked. Both receivers would not work in my note 3 or my friend's note 3. Seller gave me a refund.
I bought a receiver for my s4 and iPhone 6 and they both work okay. The charging pad I use has a red LED to indicate that it has power. The LED turns blue when it makes a connection with the receiver. I just have to make sure I position the phone properly because the LED will turn blue but the phone is not charging until I adjust the position of the phone.

Note 3 USB Port replaced won't charge! How to use the 'Back-Pins'?

Just replaced the USB-Port
Now i have data connection again, but it's just charging occasionally and very slow on 2.5 Ah.
I'm wondering how to use the 5 pins next to the battery for charging or data connection?
any idea what went wrong?
Where did you get the port?
I have read some reviews of 3rd party replacement ports that were flaky.

probably the case. no review. old rev #. not sure lte works.
still wondering where i get a proper part (in germany if possible) and how i use these PINS
thanks
You mean the metal contacts under the back cover? You can charge the note using a qi charger and receiver.

Why would a cable not be recognized/charge at all?

I have purchased some cables (usb-C to usb-A) and was surprised not to have them work at all on my 6T. I'm aware of the general usb-c problems, and the fact that "fast" charging is only available via the OEM Dash charger cable combo, but all of the other non-OEM cables/chargers have at least been recognized, allowed data transfer, and charged the phone, all be it, at the slower rate.
Is this a common problem? I'm interested in some of the technical details. What is the negotiation protocol for the microcontroller on the phone that would actually decline to acknowledge the connection at all? Has there been a driver/software update that identifies the current/resistance on the cable as a mismatch for the phones tolerances? I thought that the brick circuitry itself managed power delivery...
Just FYI, I have the OEM cable/charger which work fine. I also have a belkin cable and numerous other chargers (5V/5mA , 5V/1A , 5V/1.5A , 5V/2A , 5V/2.4A , 5V/4A) with which I get a data connection and basic/slow charging, which is really all I need. I used these new cables, supposedly rated to usb 2 and 5V/2A, on all of these chargers and my PC with no recognition/charge at all.
Thanks for insights.
Are you sure it's not just bad? I always slow charge my devices so I pretty much always use aftermarket cables, they work fine on the 6T. I use the same cables on my 6T across many devices, it's not an issue. Have you tried this cable on another device?

Distinctly possible. I tried on both, the only two, devices i have that use usb-c. This was a relatively cheap multipack from usual questionable sources, I tested several of the cables and all failed the same way on both devices across all the different bricks mentioned. Cables had reasonably good reviews, and I thought it unlikely that they were all bad. Just wanted to lob in question to see if there was another potential issue to be wary of.

Shouldn't be. I use several different brands of cables, no issues. I know I'm always skeptical of reviews at alot of places because so many of them are fake. What brand cable is this?

Are you testing all with the same power source? I know some power bricks or USB ports in vehicles vary. My wife's Kia only charged her LG G7 but no other devices including my OP6T. That's why I stick with the OnePlus car charger and power brick
