Wireless / Qi Charging?

[komobu]

Are any of you doing wireless charging on your note 3? I am looking at a S-View case that has the wireless charging built in. If you use it, how do you like it? How long does it take to fully charge your phone?

Thanks for any advice.

My old Note 3 had wireless charging. Instead of buying the S-View cover, I ordered a Docooler Qi wireless charging coil from eBay. It's light, thin, and adds virtually no depth to the device so you can use the original cover. I used electrical tape to secure the terminals on the coil to the terminals on the phone, and it worked great.

Keep in mind that wireless charging uses a principle known as induction, where a magnetic field from the charger induces current flow in the coil (which is connected to the phone's charging circuit). It is not as fast or efficient as plugging it in, but it gets the job done eventually. I used it with a Tylt Vu stand at bedside to charge overnight.

I hope this helps. Good luck and let us know how it turns out!
