The Note 10.1 2014 Edition doesn't support wireless charging.

I know. Thats the reason why I opened this thread in the accessories forum.

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.

Ok, thats new for me. But there is one chance. There could be a case with qi Receiver and usb connector or if it has pins for a docking station then with connection to them.

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 confirmed working on our T-mobile S4

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.

How do I put this mod in use

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.

There are no pogo pins. Only ports are the USB port and headphone jack, and there's a qi wireless charger coil inside the tablet.

I prefer the clean look by having a dock with an analogue out to my home receiver. Now there is a nasty cord danglin'. I love the idea of wireless charging and I'm a total tech junkie but the efficiency isn't there, losing anywhere 15-20%. Honestly you're going to have to plug in the Qi so why not just plug the tablet in instead when needed?

Because micro USB connectors are fragile and wear down a lot faster than an AC plug. My last Nexus 7 had a broken micro USB connector because my 2-year old yanked it out.

I agree, the old dock/pogo pin setup was perfect; disappointed they removed that feature. Hopefully we get a dock similar to the old one for this device. Liked the way it sat in landscape.. loved watching movies on it without having to hold it and fall asleep with it.. drop it, break it...

I am mainly concerned with using POGO pins and meant and should have said,
"Honestly you're going to have to plug in the Qi so why not just plug the tablet put it on the POGO dock instead when needed?"
The point being about power use and features. With the Qi you are still plugging in a "dock" to the wall but without the added benefits, ie audio or video out or power efficiency. POGO does. Wireless charging in it's current state is not an upgrade. We can't even call it a convenience factor until most of our handheld devices are using the tech.
I agree that using direct USB connection to a device lends the rare possibility of damage from falling when being plugged in or the plug being yanked out or shoved in. I say rare possibility because in my case I don't have little ones running around. Nor have I had a USB wear out, and I use my devices constantly all day. Looseness of the receptor on the device can be an issue too I agree but I've only had that problem once. That's poor design on the manufacturers part. I know more people that have had broken devices from their kids just using them in general.
LoL My poor buddy's kid was running around with his toy hammer, jumped up on the bed where he was using it and with a swift swing, TWACK! Bye bye screen. Kids break ****. I know I did. POGO would have saved your Nexus.

A pogo connector would have been nice. But if Google is going to make use wait 8 months like every pogo accessory before, then it's pretty freaking worthless.

Another reason to stay with my old Nexus 7, which is not that old in fairness.

My first Nexus 7 (bought in September 2012) did have the Pogo pins but after it was stolen I bought a new one in December 2012 which doesn't have the pins.
I'm wondering now if the late 2012 models already have the wireless charging thingy.
Does anyone know?

Because it's easy to toss the device on the wireless charging pad when I get to my desk, and then grab-n-go when I need to step away.

Qi is better because u keep the nexus in your protection case.
The 2012 has the qi too, right?

New nexus qi charger.

What about this one.
How much, and where?
http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/31/google-wireless-charging-pad/

It says PlayStore. Gotta keep an eye there....

As for me, the good Qi charger for the tablets should be bigger than tablet, have at least 5 or 6 charging coils and detectors (to start charging regardless how do you put a device), be quiet, no bright annoying lights, flat and stable enough for the night stand. And of course it should cost a reasonable price - definitely not a $80-100 but about $25-30 (hey, it's not a "super-duper high tech"; all parts will cost just a few bucks in mass production).
I still can't find anything like described above on a market

The original Nexus 7 had a tablet stand, and charging pins built in. I like the idea of wireless charging, but why doesn't Google offer a stand like the original, with wireless charging included?

If u use a cover u can not charge with the dock.
Wireless is easier as u just place the tablet on the qi pad with its cover.

Its now in stock 50 bucks.

It does have the magnets, though.

Yes -- provided you get USB audio to work with a second-gen N7 in the first place. Wireless charging doesn't normally interfere with USB Audio.
Using stock 4.3 firmware on the N7.2, I've only been able to use external DACs with USB Audio Recorder Pro.

Who is the manufacturer of the new Google branded charger? Is it LG?
I ask because I have the N7 in the official Google case with the flip cover. I also have a few wireless chargers and the WCP-300 is the only charger that won't work through the back of the case.
And I agree with the comments about how well the Tylt charger works, even with the cover folded behind!

The battery isn't removable, so it isn't really possible.

I have a MotoG, and upon taking off the back cover, I can't seem to locate the pins normally used with Qi pads like on the Samsungs. So, I may be completely wrong, but as of right now, I think the G will not support wireless charging.

I suppose those could work http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-Q...l_Phone_PDA_Chargers&var=&hash=item3cd871bdf7 but they are a bit besides the point if microusb then cannot be used...

I've ordered one of those Universal Pads and some other stuff from DealExtreme a week ago. I will report back with pictures when it arrives here. The parcel however is still in China and I don't think it will clear german customs until after christmas.

I think you will find the clearances to be too too tight for that. I think the best bet will be if someone integrates it into a shell or case.
