Just got this BigBen interactive Induction charger for Nintendo DSI for £2.99 and just wondering if anyone's had a go at butchering it to work on the S3? This is different to the Palm mod that's been discussed because the induction circuitry is built into the battery on this so you put the battery on the plate by itself and it charges, so can someone tell me the voltage the proper S3 wireless cover sends through those 2 extra pins because if it's the same 3.7v and not the 5v usb power I could butcher the battery and use it's induction circuitry.
Im not sure if there's been a new development on this or not but I didnt get find anything.
These Qi Receivers like:

The qi wireless charging mod seems a little too complicated. Now that we have these receivers has anyone tried fitting one to the S2?
I know they arent made for it and there are special connect points in teh S3 S4 and the such but cant an end be splayed open and put in between the 1st and 4th connectors where the battery makes contact with the phone? It would be a little difficult to force fit it but it would be snug and not likely to move and fits over the battery well. Has anyone tried any of this?

Qi Wireless Charging
Hi, I just bought a Qi Wireless charger & Charging Cover and its pretty cool! I bought it from the Bitmore UK site.
They have a wide range of Qi (wireless charging) Devices and the one I bought for my S3 is universal. You can charge any qi enabled devices on this pad.
Just search for: BITMORE Qi Charger
I bought a sticker to enable wireless charging for the G4, however I noticed that the sticker covers up the existing 2 contacts on the NFC that came as part of the plastic back. I'm not against installing the sticker to add QI charging, but I'm concerned that it blocks the contacts to the NCF which is already present. I assume others have used the same stickers to add charging and what to know what they had to say on the matter.
Thanks,
ERIC

I just purchased the same QI charging sticker and it has NFC built into it. You have to remove the current NFC sticcker in the case backing and replace it with the QI wireless charging and NFC sticker. The QI charging sticker should have the contacts where the NFC connectors are and also have the contacts for wireless charging, this is why the stock sticker needs to be removed.
Enjoy your wireless charging

The back sticker consists of 2 parts the NFC and also a black lump under it, which I assume needs to also be removed, no instructions make figuring this out fun! Found a picture on Amazon, as to the order of the stickers: QI first then NFC, seemed backwards, but that is what they showed., so that is what I'm doing
As for the sticker it is on and seems to be correct, but the charger does nothing, tried removing it replacing it I'm 99% sure it is correctly placed, but there is no way to check 100%; added some paper behind the contacts to move them forward, still no charging.
Assumed the sticker was bad, I bought 2 tried the second one same thing, tried both bases and both stickers (destroyed the one removing it), still nothing. So either the phone is bad unable to charge via QI, the stickers are reversed, unlikely given it matches pictures or it does not make contact, there is no way to be sure but I'm 99% positive they align. I do not really need QI, just thought it was nice, but currently I'm about to give up on it since the sticker simply do not seem to work and buying a case with it makes no sense.
Using a meter resistance is 0.06 Ohms, when off the QI, on the QI there is a pulse occurring so I assume that means the sticker is good, as a result I do not know what is the issue I do not see any way to monitor how much amperage is produced, perhaps it is too little to register with the phone as a charger?
My thoughts to date, QI via add-on sticker is a waste!, a very cheap waste but a waste ensuring proper contact is basically down to luck, and I'm not having any a 5 minute job has taken an hour of my life so far with no result to show for it.

I bought 2 stickers from Aliexpress, rebuild 2 Phones with the sticker, both of them are workin and charging flawless
we have the Black leather back, the embedded sticker in the cover must be removed to succuess.
How can I find out if my d855 has wiress charging? At IKEA there were some wireless charging spots, on which my phone wouldn't charge. Now I am worried that wireless charging won't work when I buy a Qi charger. How can I find out what I need before buying that charger?
Take a look at the inside of your back cover if it has 4 contact points as shown in the photo you have NFC and wiress charging,
if is has only 2 contact point you only have NFC an NO wiress charging.
Hi!
Have anyone tried it out or is it a big bs?
I call bull****. It looks like the normal NFC sticker located inside your phone on the rear panel. If this were true you should already be able to charge your phone with QI chargers. I don't see any extra connectors, and I don't think it would be possible to charge your phone through the NFC pins.
AFAIK Qi charging works by leveraging a magnetic coil (please correct me if I'm wrong) and I don't see a coil in this "add-on" so I also call BS

You are 100% correct.
Wireless charging needs a coil as it's charging through induction after all. What's being advertised is purely an NFC plate (if it were both it would've required a second set of connectors too).
