I've tried this, but when I have them both in my cart, the pad shows up as $52.49 and the Cover is still $29.99
And it won't allow you to add the Charging Pad to your cart if you have the Thunderbolt selected as your phone. I had to select the LG Revolution to be able to add the pad to the cart.

I had the same problem, after chatting extensively with an agent i was told there is an issue with these, they issued a help ticket and it should be fixed tomorrow. She also said the induction cover fits both standard and extended battery.

Both? Really... I may just get this then...
i'm still waiting for them to allow us to charge our phones wirelessly just carrying the phone around on us and not have to rely on barbaric electrical outlets.
I called vzw customer care and after a bit of a workaround and speaking to internet support he just had me go ahead and purchase the charging pad for $52.99 after my 25% off discount and then went into account and added the charging door at $0.00 and noted the reason

I don't see how it could work with the extended battery. There isn't enough of a bump for this cover to work. The bump we do see in the pics is for the parts added to the cover to make the wireless charging work. I did just order it though and had no problems with adding it to my cart. Hope i get it by friday.
I received this combo last night. While I do not own an extended battery I can confidently say this won't work with it. The hump in the inductive replacement cover houses the hardware that allows the charging process to work. No room for anything else.
That being says it works flawlessly. Put the cover on, plug the pad in, put the phone down, the pad beeps and away it goes.
Only downside is that it adds thickness and will require me to mod my car charging cradle for the phone to fit with this cover.

Had a feeling about not working with the extended. Thanks for the info
How do you find the charging when compared to plugging in phone directly? Does it take longer?
Thanks,
Bryan
Sorry, but I just put it down and walked away. I think it was around 50% when I put it down and charged to 100% when I grabbed it like 2 or 3 hours later. But I'm totally guessing. No solid stats recorded yet.
Tonight Ill put it on there and record how much she charges in an hour.
Will they honor this deal in store? I would probably buy it if there was a case that would fit the battery and still allow wireless charging.

Looking at the lil idiots guide that came with the pad, it says it outputs at 1000ma. so it should charge it just as fast as a physical connection.
My output says 500ma. It's pretty slow. This came off the HTC door instructions and not the LG mat instructions.
I had to modify my otterbox case for it to fit by removing the padded backing in the shell.
I also do not get a full charge. It gets to 100 but when I take it off it jumps right down to 95. Anyways I know the last 10% is truly based on efficiency but I would say that inductive is not the most efficient means when compared to conductive.
Bottomline: cool idea, would I have paid full price, probably not.

okay so my epic is turning off all the time when i open or close keyboard and its happening more frequently...iv been calling around phone repair stores in my town and every1s saying its the flex cable and goes out every 2years or so they said....so has any1 every done this???it cost like 7bucks for a flex cable and in my town it cost 45 bucks to repair this and would rather do it myself but it looks so hard to actually get to the flex cable to replace it :\
My Epic did that with the extended battery. I put a piece of matchbook cover between the battery and cover... Problem solved.
Friendly Neighborhood Moderator
I dropped it in water . Watched a you tube video for opening the epic. I think it was for screen replacement. It was about a year ago so i dont remember the details. I stripped the thing down completely and cleaned the inside. It was not difficult so I imagine just replacing the cable would be slightly simpler.
I think it might be my extended battery and might try match book thing as said ima order a slim qcell epic touch battery see how that goes I lost oem battery and battery door cuz I have 3extended hyperion batteries and not sure where the hell my oem backing and battery are 2of the hyperions have messed up bars where the battery connects to the epic and the good1 dosnt make my epic turn off much at all

off topic.Its been a while I was the guy who posted that guide on unbricking the epic so far i have developed 3 roms from source:laugh:
I have replaced my flex cable twice and my hinge assembly once on my personal Epic, and was employed at a cell phone repair company where I replaced several others. There are YouTube guides on how to do this (Ifixit is a good source), but you will need patience and a good, small phillips head screwdriver and pry tool (I recommend a guitar pic). It should calmly take you 45 uninterrupted minutes for the entire repair.
When you buy one cable, buy TWO- you will most likely cut the flex cable upon reassembly unless you are careful. I have used this cable/company several times (the same company also sells on eBay): https://www.wholesalegadgetparts.com/product.php?productid=17839
So I got both of these for Christmas but it's a little overboard to keep them both so I'll be sending one back.
I haven't really found anything comparing the two. Does anyone have both? Or have seen both?
Which would you prefer and why?

If you check out the forum there are people who express concerns about the TYLT causing the N5 to overheat. Based on that alone, I would go with the Nexus Charger.
I have an N4 Wireless orb that I use with my N5 and it works great.

I bought the Tylt Vu for $35 with a promo code, but haven't received it yet. I was also worried about the overheating issues, but for the most part, the negative reviews may be just confirmation bias on my part when looking for reasons not to buy something.
Anyone else have issues with the Vu?

I received the Google Nexus charger yesterday and the Tylt Vu is coming in tomorrow. I read the thread in depth, and apparently the company has found the issue and is working on a fix? I'm a little hesitant to keep it but like you, would love more information about the tylt vu!

Let me know how it works. I got the red one, in case that matters.
I've had the vu for several months (got it from kick starter). Used it with nexus 4 and now nexus 5. I have no over heating issues. It gets no warmer than my other 3 qi chargers (energizer, lg puck, and generic). Granted I don't have the official n5 charger, but I would take the vu because it's a stand and I love that.

Does the Vu actually charge the phone whether in portrait or landscape sitting on the charger? Cause last i remember, they advertised that in the promo video, but looking closely at the promo video showed the phone NOT charging in landscape orientation.

I have the Tylt Vu, the new Nexus Charger, the Orb, the LG (Verizon branded) pad, and the Energizer pad.
I have had the Tylt Vu even before the Kickstarter finished lol. It just showed up at my office one day. I got it for my Nexus 4. Worked fantastically until I tried putting Kit Kat on the N4. I had heating issues and I believe due to wakelocks, but that's not proven. I stopped using it because it kept waking the phone up at night and that bugged the living bejezzus out of me and changed it out for the LG pad until a fix for my waking issues on the N4. Then when the N5 was introduced, it was a no brainer and I bought that one to replace my N4. I gave the LG pad and N4 to my wife and now using the Tylt at home for my everynight charging and no waking in the middle of the night.
I use the new Nexus Wireless charger in the car in conjunction with a vent mount. And because I use a bumper, the magnets grab without issues. I tried my set up with a tpu case and also the Ringke Fusion and neither would stick.
Now I am waiting for my early bird Air dock from indiegogo and seeing if that works better than my diy setup lol.

So I used it and it does get noticeably warm. I haven't experienced it getting hot yet though. The official charger gets my nexus 5 temperature to around 25.5 degrees celcius and the tylt gets my phone to around 37 degrees celcius. I'm not totally sure which one I want to keep yet.

I don't think that's too abnormal. My phone idles at 30 degrees and charges at 40-45 via USB.
So hi guys,
I'm loving this tablet alot and I'm using it all the time for all my computing. Now what if in a year or two the battery life decreases but the note itself is still fine? Is there a way to replace the battery in a relatively simple fashion?

Yes but it does involve pulling your tablet apart... And being able to get the right battery...
Yeah that's what i thought. Do you know if there is an aftermarket for parts like that?
Also, has anyone already taken a note 2014 apart and checked if you need to solder or glue stuff when replacing the battery?

I haven't seen any aftermarket batteries yet. Your local Samsung service agent will definitely be able to do it but they charge excessively.
Other option would be to keep an eye on this website or email them.

They have batteries for the other Note series tablets. Ours may just be too new for them to bother with yet. I'd be surprised if anyone needed a new battery this early in the release cycle.

Hi, it is a really good news! Awesome. Could you tell me how it works? As I understand the charging will be started on demand (when I press start button). What will happen if the phone reaches 100%? Will it be stopped automatically? Is it possible to stop charging on demand to?

Yes you choose when it stops. Like if you wanted to charge only to 80% you just hold the back button down for 3 seconds to turn off the battery case.
As for if it stops charging when it gets to 100% I'm not sure. Some cases shut off by itself some don't. I assume this case will stop automatically
I've had several Zerolemon battery cases and have loved them. From the LG G3, G4, Note 4, and iPhone 6 and 7 plus

I just now noticed this note on the Amazon page:
Note:This battery case passthrough quick charge only.
Still awesome, though.
I'm guessing it will behave similar to the S8 ZeroLemon case (Not that these are deal-breakers or anything, just wondering):
No wireless charging.
It will interfere with NFC.
It is not waterproof.
No fast charging (except for passthrough).
Extra question: Will it interfere with a Tempered Glass screen protector?
