Anyone know if the Palm Pre Touchstone wireless charging dock will be compatible?
The Pre had a magnet on the back to make sure the device was held firmly on the Touchstone, but I dont think the SGS III will have a magnet, but may still charge using the Pre Touchstone.
What about the HP Touch Stone for TouchPad, wonder if that will work!!!
This docks can be bought dirt cheap, so if they work it will be a massive bonus! I am guessing the tech behind the wireless charging will be the same

That would be great! I guess the first person who receives the S3 and who also has a touchstone can give it a try and report back...

I sure will
it wont work........ cos you need the replacement back cover which has the inductive coil inside the cover is rubberized to grip the plastic charging pad.....
dont see why it wont work with the touchstone same tech

Guys what's the difference in charging speed on the pre/touchpad on wires vs plugged in? Just asking to get a rough idea on what the expect on the sgs3

Yeah, probably need to buy the Samsung kit for the back cover, but at least TouchStones can be had for about £26 on the bay if the Sammy ones are expensive.
Already having one its just handy.
TBH re:Charging times seems about the same as wired, but really haven't paid a lot of attention, generally put on it over night.
Has anyone been able to test this yet?

The phones don't ship with a back cover compatible with wireless charging and the wireless kit (which includes said compatible back cover) won't be available until September

bollocks! ok thanks for the update. i'm sure there will be some 3rd party sellers who will launch one
I'm in the market to buy accessories for my i747.. I'm looking on ebay and see a dock / charger / battery combo at a decent price but it says it's for european and asian phones (i9300). would this fit my phone? to me everything should be the same..
Thanks
accessory wise the two variants are exactly the same dimensions and stuff, so anything made for the i9300 will fit the i747, including batteries. the phones are exactly the same on the outside, just the insides are diff. :good:
Yep. Chargers, batteries, docks and cases all fit the i747 that are made for i9300. They are the same form factor

Thanks guys!!!
Hello,
I unserstand both phones have the same external dimensions,but would it be the same for the battery cover ?
If I swap the pebble blue battery cover from a i9300 to a i747 would it fit ?
Thanks.
I would imagine yes as above he did say dimensions of phone is the same the only difference is the cpu and ram I believe.

Yes, I've been debating getting an international battery cover so it doesn't say at&t on this beautiful bad boy.

I have an att s3 and ordered an intl cover a few days ago.I should get it in next week,will keep this thread updated !
In any case I am a reseller and am about to make a huge order of genuine s3 covers for north american sale,so I just wanted to make sure that would work.
Thanks for the help !
The international version has a microphone on the back cover by the camera. So cases and skins for the international version will fit but you'll have a useless hole by the camera. Not really a big deal if you ask me.

I could be wrong but the skin I'm using on my at&t gs3 was made for the international version and it has a microphone hole on the back cover. I don't actually own the international version but I'll post a pic of my skin later
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
The att version also has a microphone hole next to the camera,unless you meant something else ?
Yep a tiny mic pinhole is the only physical difference between some of the two base versions or models.
CPU (quad vs. dual core), ram (1Gb vs. 2Gb) and radios (3g/4g vs. LTE) are the internal hardware differences between the international and north American models

I have an international version, there is no mic by the cam. I've had both variants they LOOK exactly the SAME. ALL the cases will fit.

ok heres my skin. there is a hole on the back cover (above the led flash), but there is no hole on my battery cover for a mic or something. there is a mic on the top border of my phone next to the headphone jack, which has its own hole
again it was made for the international version

Yep that was the only difference I saw on some back covers not even sure why that little extra hole by the flash even there. But all cases and covers work for both.
Hmm interesting ! Very good info.
I have a question
Hi,
My question is, are the lcd and digatizer screens the same size on both i9300 and i747 ?
I need to replace 1 and want to make sure:
question
I am wanting to get a cord for my GS3 i747 that hooks the phone to hdmi port on television. I saw several options on ebay but some of them say that they are "ONLY" compatible with i900 and i908. Is that the case? Should the cable work with i747 if it works with unlocked phones?
Will a i9300 ROM work on a i747?
I just bought one for myself! Too good to pass up (or at least try)

30 bucks... link is to a pebble back....
it appears they are modifying a non- oem back kinda like the palm mod but with actual pins instead of playing with copper tape
oh and for an extra 30 bucks (60) they will send you a touchstone too.... all from hong kong
---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------
Just found this one or 30.00 http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GAL...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item3ccb30692f
and it comes with a touchstone.... and from nyc... both colors...
now it starts to make some sense to buy a pre-made.....
probably over thinking this but will it charge with a phone case?
I ordered one of these two weeks ago, got it in 4 days (need to sign for the package). Sadly, one of the pins had broken off in shipping, but the seller responded in about ten minutes and has a new one in the mail already.
Product appears to be pretty well made, but the back cover they use a little dinky - the letters are inlaid in silver and one already fell out - so now I have a Samung. I plan to remove the charger circuit and stick inside my existing cover.

Scot,
Does yours stick up a bit as in their photos or close allt he way... also What carrier are you (i wonder if it only sticks up for certain carriers)
Does anyone know if the touchstone will work with a basic TPU case on the phone? Not sure if the magnets or charging field is strong enough....

Mine is entirely flush (T-Mobile version).
FWIW; the circuit he uses is out of Palm devices - even says "Palm Inc" on the product. Not that there is anything wrong with that...
i'm kinda leery of how the gap pops up... could they not have used pins that are spring loaded so it actually adjusts for the different variants out there?
well taking another look on his ad... it seems just the back is 29.99... if you select it with the touchstone it's 49.99
20 bucks for something amazon has for 5... i dont think so.....

They are spring loaded. As I said, on mine, you can't tell it is on there. It does NOT charge through a case.

well damn.. they must be some hardcore springs to keep the backing to snap into place 0.o''''''
EDIT: if it doesn't charge through the case, that's a big issue for me.. I prefer not to take my case off and on every time I want to charge the device... I guess i'll have to wait for the Qi alternative to be viable
How are the magnets on the one you purchase from ebay?

Sounds like (and it makes sense one of the "open back" cases aka a bumper will work.....
Whoever said the back sits completely flush on his galaxy s iii can you post some pictures? That is the only part of this that is making me hesitant, I don't want the back not clipping on properly.
Also does anyone know if this charging door would work with the energizer charging pad or the powermat charging pad?
it will definitly not work with the energizer mat since that's Qi technology while the touchstone uses a slightly different variation.
Case
I have no problem charging with Spigen Neo case installed - both Touchstone and/or the Qi setup...

a family member gifted me with the wireless receiver module for my note 2. I know the Sprint version has the wireless charging tabs covered, but would it work if I bought the frame housing from the AT&T version on eBay? From the pictures it looks like a simple swap and I'd like to have wireless charging if I can and the cost of the frame housing is only 10 bucks.
From my understanding the pins are there and you need to mod the mid plate or use a att one, and add a receiver to connect to the pins.
I'm pretty sure you need to use the sprint casing and put holes in it. I don't think the att case works due to very small differences in the phone design. The l900 case is compatible with the Verizon case and the att with T-Mobile I don't believe sprint is with att

I just got mine. And it doesn't seem to charge when put on a Qi pad.
Anyone got one and have it working properly?
(and yes I do know mine is a charging back; has the little contact points and all.)
Contacted LG and they said that there is no compatible quick circle folio case for the G4. And that is it a Verizon market scheme to get you to buy their stuff. I told them about all the official LG stuff on the box (including ORIGINAL LG accessory hologram). Amazing...
I have one from Korea. It might be a knock off but it had the hologram sticker. Charging works fine but I am having some random reboots since I put it on. And the phone is not waking up when I open the case and double tap to wake is fussy. Going to put on my leather on and see if the problem goes away. Between this and Lg screwing me on the promo for the US because I bought an international phone this thing might be on Swappa shortly. Feeling a little but hurt.
Yeah I got a free Quickcircle case with my phone, but it also doesn't work with Qi ><
Infuriating useless conflicting standards...... BETAMAX WAS BETTER DAMN IT!!!

And you got the official LG one that supports wireless charging? Which carrier do you have?
I think there are several cases out there. Some support the wireless charging, and some don't.
But if it doesn't you'll just need to buy the qi sticker to replace it.

Can I cut the front part of this circle case and put the back door on an existing case?
I have the Verizon G4. I bought the QuickCircle Folio with Powermat+NFC for AT&T models on eBay, thinking that it might work as-is, or else I could swap out the sticker to make it work with Qi. It turns out that it works on my Tylt Qi charger right out of the box! http://www.ebay.com/itm/151704461178

I got those wireless stickers to finally work. Look for that main thread for my fix.
Is anyone else having problems with there folio case. I took mine off and battery life came back, tap to wake works and no more random reboots on my H815 SEA version.

It is official LG, and it doesn't work with my Qi charger (Tylt Vu) which still works fine with my Nexus 5.
I did not buy this from a carrier, it's the H818P
