I tried the Palm inductive charging mod like I have on my Galaxy Nexus and like people use on the SGSIII, and it does not register as charging. I didn't use the two pins underneath the cover, I tapped into the actual battery spring terminals. I went directly from the coil to the spring terminals with solid wire as a proof of concept and it did not register as charging. I had 5.6VDC coming out of the coil and apparently the current isn't high enough for our gigantic battery Looks like I'm going back to regular "plug it in" charging. Sucks...
I also did this mod on my note 2 but like you it doesn't register as charging. I did this mod on my s3 and it worked fine. Is it something with T-Mobile's note?

I think it just doesnt register the roughly 350mah as charging. Now that I have Perseus kernel he said he bumped up the usb charging to 900mah so it may work but I havent tried. Im guessing in stock form the Note2 just laughs at the paltry 350mah.
I keep using that number because thats roughly what my Nexus would charge at without kernel mods...

Yeah, I saw that. Before I hooked anything up I measured 0vdc on those terminals with the phone plugged in and charging. I tries those terminals first, then the battery terminals as everyone warns against. No charging in any circumstance on my device. Maybe my inductive pins and or associated circuitry was jacked up out of the box but I find that hard to believe. Im still waiting to see any Tmo Note users get it running. So far, only the N7100 has had success.

I just tried connecting 5V from a spliced USB cable to the inductive charging pins and the phone does not indicate charging on the T-Mobile Galaxy Note II.
Its a shame, because I have all the necessary hardware after doing this mod to my Galaxy Nexus.
Is it possible that this doesn't work simply because of the ROM. Sort of like how we can't do multiscreen?

No, I dont think so. There is something missing on our devices, hardware wise. This mod is still possible, you just have to take the phone apart to solder into the usb connector. I dont have the time or desire to do that...yet lol.

Hey guys, don't know if people have done this already, but I just got a T-mobile S4 for testing this weekend and I wanted to find out if the wireless charging port was enabled since I've done the touchstone wireless charging mod on my S3 and note 2.
It was especially a PIA on the note 2 since T-mobile, in all of its corporate and engineering wisdom, decided to disable the feature for the Note 2, even though it was enabled for the S3. So for those of you who don't like to dissemble your new phone and solder on a tiny PCB, you'll be happy to know that I confirmed that wireless charging ports on the S4 is indeed enabled.
I took a pack of 4x AAA battery assembly, which provides ~4.7v of DC power, and connected to the charging port in the back. The small pair on the left is the charging port, the pair on the right is supposedly NFC, even though the NFC antenna is located on the battery for S4.
As you can see from the pics, the "the phone is now charging wirelessly" notification pops up when the circuit is live, which is pretty annoying IMO and can't be disabled (that's why we have custom roms right?)
I haven't gotten a chance to install the actual touchstone wireless charging receivers on the back yet, as this is a test unit that I have to return, but I don't imagine this to be too different than on the S3. There will be a slight bulge, but it'll be worth it.

Just follow the instructions from this thread (it's for an S3). The design for S3 is pretty similar, so it should work. Remember the positive pin is on the left, negative (ground) is on the right.
Also note that the touchstone mechanism is not Qi compatible, so it wont work with the newer charging mats for Nokia or HTC.
And always remember to perform these mods at your own risk.

Did you install any receiver on the S4?
I didn't mean to confuse anyone, I only confirmed that it is POSSIBLE to perform the mod. I used a 4.7v DC power supply to test if the wireless charging pins on the back are live, which wasn't the case for T-mobile note 2 so I had to check to make sure.
If you already have a Qi charger, you can get one of these receivers and connect it to your phone, then you'll be able to charger with your mat
http://www.ebay.com/itm/qi-Wireless...l_Phone_PDA_Chargers&var=&hash=item51abef6de9
But I would argue that the touchstone method is superior to qi if you plan on using it in a car, as the magnets keep the phone in place is it's really convenient to connect/disconnect when you're driving.

Samsung will be officially supporting wireless charging for the S4 through accessories. The ad for the pad and back wireless charging cover is already listed on the promo S4 accessories page. http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxys4/
Though there seems to be no price or date yet.
Of course there will be 3rd party wireless charging solutions as well.
ive got a palm touchstone but what receiver do i need to buy to have my GS4 work with it ?
also;
can anyone confirm or deny wether or not the palm touchstone + receiver will trickle charge the GS4 after it is fully charged ? (or does it completely cease charging until the phone is physically picked up and replaced ?)

the link above is the thread with a tutorial on how to do the mod for S3, should apply to S4 as well.
I can confirm that it trickle charge S3 and Note 2 ( if I understood you correctly, it will keep the phone charged as long as it's on the touchstone base), shouldnt be any different for S4.

Took the Qi wireless receiver pad from my Galaxy S3, had to slightly tear it apart to reverse the little gold inserts that create the contact points for the wireless battery charging and now have a fully functioning wireless charging Galaxy S4 !
Saved myself quite a bit of money doing that.

It seriously only took 5~10 minutes once I'd figured out which way to put what.
I have the photos set up and just need to put notes on them explaining what I did.
Will post them when I get home tonight (12am CT)
Ummmm, from everything I read the pins you have it hooked up to are NOT the ones for inductive charging, the gold ones on the right are......
I could be mistaken however. I remember the s3 used those pins, but I've read in a couple places that the ones made specifically for inductive charging are the ones on the right above the battery.

What ARE all the other pins back there for? I figured one set (had no idea which one) was for inductive charging, but couldn't figure a reason for the others..

the smaller set is wireless charging, the larger set is presumably for additional NFC antenna (although I measured no resistance in the circuit with my voltmeter), as the back cover seemed to have a carved out area for a NFC like the Note 2 did.
Although the S4 battery says "NFC" on it, which seems like samsung made a last minute decision to put NFC on the battery instead of the back cover... oh samsung ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nope, the NFC is in fact in the battery, the same way Samsung has been doing it for years now. They made no change.

If you know it does not why would you start a thread? It makes no sense. It does not have a removable battery cover so there is no way to add wireless charging without hardware modifications.

Have you popped the back cover off to see if the pins are there?
If they are then a modded qi receiver would work great.
I do not own the Note 10.1. Thats the reason why I'm asking dumb questions.
For the Note 8 someone added a Qi Receiver with USB connector and hide it under a case.

He is not talking about taking the back cover off. He is talking about a case that has a plug that goes into the existing charge port of the tablet and there is a wireless charging coil within the case itself.
No, I have not seen any.
Yes, I do want one.
Does the Note 10.1 2014 has Connectors for a Docking Station? If yes, this would be an option to realize it without using an usb connector.

I, too, would love to add wireless charging capabilities to the Note.
I read a story on the iQi Mobile - Seamless Wireless Charging For iPhone and tried to find a similar product for micro usb ports. I came across a possible alternative but don't have any experience with the website/seller of the product.
(sorry, can't post links yet, remove spaces or search Google for "netimes Qi Standard Universal Wireless Charging Adapter for Samsung Micro-USB Connector")
www .netimes.com/shop/qi-standard-universal-wireless-charging-adapter-for-samsung-microusb-connector-p-4963 .html
Do you guys think something like this would work?
One disadvantage would be that you would have to unplug the cable to use a regular charging cable, but I think I could live with that.
in my opinion this seems legit and ok.
Of course it's annoying to remove the cable everytime, but for having wireless charging
l already thought about this on my HTC Eo 3D but did not want to spend too much money on that since it is no Must-have in my opinion.
Qi Enabled Wireless Charger Platform & Charge Receiver Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014
www .amazon.com/Walsontop-Wireless-Platform-Charging-Compatible/dp/B00LC6WGB2 There are still people looking for the holy grail. "Human satisfaction.
you can attach a receiving case to the note 4, so why not the note 10.1 (2014) ?
As Qi supports 15 instead of 5 Watt (since 06/2015), we only need to wait for the next tablet generation. I think in the future we will see Qi on much more tablets.

i think you are looking for this
No, because the quality is poor and it is qi 1.0. I think at the moment there are no qi receiver supporting qi 1.1?! And of course it would be much nicer to have a receiver built-in or under the battery cover.
Am I the only one that doesn't like qi charging? I have it and a pad for my nexus 5 and 7fhd and just don't use it that often. I use my phone often when it's on the charger and qi is much slower than the wire. I just can't see using it
Thats because you're using it wrong. I have 4 Qi pads and they are placed everywhere I stay for a longer time like bed, desk, couch, etc. By that its the most comfortable charging.
And if fast charging is the only reason you need to know that Qi released Version 1.1 with 15 watts (same speed as USB 3.0). But it seems Samsung bought exclusive rights at the moment (Note 5), so we need to wait for other devices supporting it. But I do not miss it.

Wireless charging for the sgh-i317 is a piece of cake. Just pick up a wireless charging receiver from somewhere (ebay, local, etc), align the 2 pins, and place on Qi charger. Easy breezy. I use mine on a DT-900 and no problems.

the two recesses next to the battery.
STEP 3: Close the original case.
STEP 4: Place the mobile phone onto the wireless charging Pad.
how fast do these charge compared to micro usb cables? i have a 2.1 amp charger and cable that charges my note 2 at 1900ma. can these compete?
Not too long ago I bought an AT&T LG g3, it promptly got returned when it was found out that AT&T killed Qi charging and put in pma in its place.
With that two hundred dollar trade in going on I wouldn't hate a new note 4.
So.... Will at&t do the same with the note 4, and kill qi charging?
The Note 4 will not come with any form of wireless charging, none of the variants do. However, they will make a Qi back cover. Even if AT&T pulls the plug on the Qi back in favor of a PMA back, you could just buy a different back fdom a different carrier. But seeing as how this is a Samsung accessory and not built into the phone, I highly doubt AT&T will try to meddle with this at all. They probably wont even sell it in store because of their partnership with PMA.
Unless the ATT version has the contact pins removed that are needed for wireless charging to work. And we won't know that till the device is out. I hope not though as I really like wireless charging.

I highly doubt that. This would actually cost more to mass produce and/or assemble an entirely different board per carrier variant.

It has been done in the past with certain carriers. I forget which phone though right now. That is why I mention it.

Yeah, they'll probably kill it. AT&T is Powermat all the way.
Yes on the LG g3, people bought Qi charging coils for the at&t variant only to find out that AT&T actually disabled or enabled (depending on your point of view) wireless charging at the hardware level to only allow for pma charging.

Pretty sure you're thinking of the Verizon (or was it T-Mobile) Note 2 which for some magic reason had the pins blocked. Can't remember if the pins were hidden under the plastic mid frame that was different or if they removed them from the board. It only happened with that model of Note. The Note 3 they were all available to buy the $40 new rear door or Amazon Qi pad for.
