The zerolemon battery covers the standard pinouts to the QI wireless receiver for wireless charging. Does anyone have a solution, workaround, modification or source for a QI receiver that would work? It is so convenient just to put a phone on a stand and top it off, even with the massive 10,000 mah battery. I am NOT interested in anything that involves soldering anything to my precious phone, or modifying the phone in any way, just the receiver. Thank you in advance for any thoughts!

Maybe one of these cheap charging pads can be modified instead of your phone? They dont seem to have one specifically for the note 4 yet on here, but for $6 thats a pricetag you dont have to cringse about when you srtart soldering on it..

Hope it helps.
Basically you have to extend the contacts from the phone back. You don't need to solder. You can do it with double stick foam tape, masking tape, adhesive copper braid or sheeting and the adapter. My adapter has not arrived yet so I am not sure it will fit between the Zerolemon battery and the case back. I did something similar to get NFC working with my Zerolemon on my Note 2. Once my adapter gets here I will report if I am successful and the fix is safe and dependable.

Don't Modify Anything
Instead of modifying things just use this simple device available on Amazon. Make sure the output matches the requirements of your device before you purchase or it will not work. This is the one I purchased for use with my LG G3 and the ZeroLemon case with the extended battery and it works just fine. You still do not get the NFC capability, but the wireless charging works. But then who actually uses the NFC anyway?
Just search on amazon for micro USB Qi antenna or wireless charging antenna. (the forum won't let me post the link)
This adapter is very easy to install and adds the Wireless Charging / Qi charging back to your phone. Amazon has several versions, just make sure you get the one that has the correct configuration on the plug, either small side up or small side down, and you also need to make sure you get the one with the correct output. For the Lg G3 it is the one with small side down, 5v-1000ma output to make it work properly.

The Zerolemon battery covers the ports, making the standard Qi receivers not able to attach to them, that's why we need a different solution.

Actually, that is not true. I have installed the exact item I was talking about, and it works perfectly fine. The cover over the port does not fit "air tight" over the port and has plenty of room for the adapter to fit between the cover and the phone. This is why I had suggested the item in the post.

The Note 4 Qi contacts are in 2 places. The upper one, just to the side of the camera, is not covered by the Zerolemon Battery, and does not pose a problem for connecting, but the one next to the battery IS completely covered by the battery itself. Maybe I'm missing something? I don't care about NFC, but would really like the Qi charging feature. If you know of an item that would work, please PM me a link. Thanks!

Not for a Note 4, different contacts (won't work).
I really thought I was in the G3 forum...sorry about that.
They make a qi receiver now that plugs in the charger port of the phone and then flips back to the battery door it's on amazon like 15 bucks. Place case over it to protect receiver and phone any your good to go. I'm sure this will work just fine for ya there a universal qi receiver for tablets and phones with no battery door.

I cannot wait for the official galaxy S3 wireless charging kit to come out.
I got inspired by the Galaxy mod that was done by using parts from a Palm Touchstone cover.
ww.qianqin.de/2011/09/28/high-waf-inductive-charging-mod/
I am pretty sure, that I don't need to do an intrusive operation as the one in the link - I believe that Samsung made pins ready for it under the cover.
Does anyone know what the two 'pins' that are exposed to the left of the battery are for?
Thanks!
There are countless threads regarding the "pins", wireless charging kits, and that mod.
I have a touchstone. And a back, and would like to see if anyone has applied this to the S3 and made it work

I have a feeling the wireless charging module will interact somehow with the two pins next to the battery. I was planning on attempting this mod using these pins but without a multimeter i am unable to tell whether these pins can be used and which way round to wire them up. If anyone can assist i would be grateful.

Yes. Countless threads about the mod for the Galaxy S, but I haven't been able to find anything about pins on the Galaxy SIII.

Yes it works, it will be a little slower, im only seeing 450mah going in as opposed to about 1000mah
But that doesnt matter in the slightest as i mostly charge overnight
that is great news! That does not look too difficult and it looks as NFC is not touched. Just the translation is difficult and not knowing what samsung wireless charging is about.
I also wonder how snug the fit is after adding the magnets from the touchstone back cover?

yes he did, i'm gonna try it with just tape - his solder blobs seems to be huge and because of the the cover makes this bulge... maybe then it will fit perfectly

please post pictures and a possible video. This is so interesting!
i'll do as soon i get the touchstone kit and have some spare time to do this (hopefully on sunday...)
what happens when you place an induction charging compatible device on an induction cooking range? Will it charge the battery, or will it overload the circuitry and destroy the phone\battery?
I wonder what happens when you plug in the phone with usb while it's inductively charging.

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.

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.

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.

Hey everyone,
I am really keen on having Qi charging and already have the pad and everything. I am looking to make the move to an extended battery (not the official one, which I hear works with the pads, but rather an ebay one, 4300mah, 4500mah etc with extended battery doors).
I know this will cause the contacts to be elevated above the spots requiring contact with the pad.
How are people overcoming this? I'd rather not solder to visible contacts inside the phone, and was curious how others have accomplished this and kept a consistent connection without permanently affixing it with solder?
Thanks!

Hi this post is a bit old, but I think very relevant today. Most tags will not work with an extended battery because of where the chip is located. I'm finding that it needs to be lower and the only ones that do that are the ones with a longer contact neck. I just purchased a 6400 ma battery and back cover for my s4... and discovered my qi I receiver tag will not work... unless I fool around with it a lot like putting a bunch of tape underneath that neck part to raise it on the short version. But with all that little bit of extra tape makes the back cover insufficiently loose because it can't snap-in because it's too thick of a battery. But I played around with a little bit as I told you above and got it to work but I couldn't keep the back cover on. So my in-enept modification failed... I read a review on Amazon or a gentleman got it to work but I notice his cute a receiver tag had the longer neck. I know the company tylt makes one, & I am calling him in the morning just to verify that is the one actally still selling.
Extended Battery + Qi Pad, Back Plate Doesn't Fit
I'm having a similar problem with my Galaxy S3 extended battery + Qi charging pad. I was able to modify the Qi charging pad to fit above the extended battery pretty easily, even though the end result is a bit kludgy. Basically I just soldered two thin wires to the contact points on the charging pad then used a piece of foam to space the wires appropriately. I wrapped this in electrical tape and tinned the ends so they'd make a solid connection to the phone contact points.
>I can't post links yet but you can see a picture of this on imgur: i.imgur.com/KJOU4I5.jpg
This worked great, except that the extended back casing that came with the battery doesn't fit properly when the Qi charging pad is inserted. The back plate that came with the battery is made of hard plastic so it won't bend leaving me with an extended battery + Qi charging but no back case. All the back plates I've seen on eBay look identical to the one I was sent. I'm going to try heating and molding the back, or perhaps sanding it down (though it's already pretty thin) but at this point I'm not super confident.
Did anyone already come across a suitable QI receiver pad for the G?

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.

Hello,
I'm trying to set my g3 up with wireless charging (too many wires around my desk!) but im having problems.
I have the quick circle case, which I thought had wireless charging built in. I then bought the following product: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00M9TBTDM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01 hoping they were compatible.
I am thinking either the quickcircle case is only compatible with the official lg wireless charger? I never actually use the quick circle case anyway, just tried it for testing purposes. Would something like this from ebay enable me to use my normal back cover, to work with the type of charger ive listed above? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QI-Wirele...ories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item2ed969a5c9
I have the F400L Korean model.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Have you got the snap-on or the replacement backcover variant of QuickCircle? If former, then you can't use it for Wireless charging IIRC, if the latter, check how many pins there are on the inside of the cover, if it has only 2 of them, then it has only NFC compatibility and no wireless charging available, if it has 4 of them, try to carefully align the device so the center of the device is aligned with the logo on your charger.

Hi, I have one that replaces the back cover, it has the 4 pins, I tried moving it over all parts of the charger, there were times when the phone would begin to charge, but this only lasted for a split second. But as I said above, im not keen on the quick circle case anyway, would much prefer to get it working with the regular back cover
will one of those stickers from ebay work to attach to my back cover? the listings suggest they dont work for my model; "QI Wireless Charging + NFC Antenna Sticker for LG G3 D855 VS985 D851 LS990"
Try swapping your USB cable and make sure your power supply is rated to put out at least 1.8 Amps.
